Taiyuan City, East School Field, although some days have passed, but the traces of smoke and fire are still there, collapsed and dilapidated houses, and blood stains all over the ground, all confirm that there was a fierce bloody battle here.

During the battle, the sergeants of the Song Army, who were in iron armor and armed with guns and knives, took three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry, and there were even groups of military sergeants who constantly patrolled and passed by on the field. There was a big battle in Taiyuan, and all the more than 2,000 captives of the Jin people were imprisoned here, and they were guarded by the Shengjie army of the Song army and the soldiers of the Xuanfeng army in turn to prevent these Jin people from making trouble.

Suddenly, a series of angry curses erupted from the door where the prisoners were being held, followed by countless rice bowls thrown out of the cells, several of which smashed on the bodies of Song Bing, who delivered the food, leaving them with a large piece of wet clothes.

Several Song soldiers, who had a lot of porridge on their bodies, dragged rice buckets and ran out of the cell with bruises and swollen faces.

Meng De, who was patrolling, was furious when he saw this, pointed to the Jurchen captives in the cell and said loudly: "You dog thieves, don't know what to do, you anger the prince and the prince, it's good to have you dog thieves!"

A few more rice bowls were thrown out, and the rice bowls were broken into pieces, and white rice porridge was all over the ground.

A Jin soldier who spoke bluntly shouted loudly: "Song Gou, you listen well, grandfathers don't eat this pig-like gruel, hurry up and prepare wine and meat for grandpa, otherwise grandpa and you Song dogs will not be finished!"

"Go and prepare wine and meat for grandpa!"

"Cowardly Song dog, get out!"

The golden soldiers in the cell clamored together, and they stood up one after another, one by one.

Meng De's face turned red, he pointed at the Jin Bing in the cell, and sneered: "Straight lady thief, you are really looking for death, one day, you will regret it!"

The Jin soldier who took the lead slapped the fence of the cell with both hands, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he scolded viciously in Jurchen words: "Come on! Kill grandpa! Don't you dare, you timid Song dog!"

Soon, the arrogant nature of these people was revealed, and the words of "Song Dog" were blurted out.

The soldier translated in a whisper, Meng De's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, and walked away.

There were earth-shattering cheers from the cell, and the golden soldiers were triumphant, as if celebrating the victory on the battlefield, and they didn't look like they were half captured.

"What, captive hunger strike?"

Hearing Meng De's message, Ma Kuo's face was stunned.

"If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different! Xianggong, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Before Ma Kuo's words fell, Ouyang Che had already shouted angrily: "Xianggong, it's better to kill these thieves directly, and waste food if they are locked up!"

"This is not the best policy, it needs to be carefully considered!"

Chen Dong shook his head and said: "Xianggong has been constrained behind his back in this expedition to Taiyuan. Mo Ruo was captured in the imperial court, shocking China and foreign countries, and he could also be praised by the officials. ”

Seeing that Wang Song's face was not good, Chen Dong had no choice but to cautiously continue: "Whether to kill or stay, please think twice."

"The courtiers are afraid of gold like tigers, if the court returns these captives to the Jin, how can we deal with ourselves. Could it be that the lives of nearly 10,000 brothers of my loyal and righteous army have been lost in vain?"

Ma Kuo shook his head and said: "Please ask the prime minister to order to kill all these thieves, firstly to deter the thieves, and secondly, to avenge the thousands of people who died in my Great Song Dynasty!"

"Chop off their heads, it's too cheap for them!"

Wang Song snorted coldly in his nose and put down the book in his hand.

"The loyal army has an army of 30,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and food must be saved. There are so many refugees in Hedong, waiting to be fed, I don't know how many starved to death, who created the iniquity! Since they won't eat, then go hungry, and don't waste the food!"

Wang Song's face was cold, he glanced at Meng De, and his gaze became cold.

"Brother Mengde, food is for people to eat. In the future, when encountering such incidents, those who dare to insult the sergeants of our loyal and righteous army will be killed! ”

"Mengde, don't go yet!"

Ma Kuo shook his head slightly, Meng De understood, hugged his fists and said goodbye, and gently retreated.

Chen Dong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xianggong, if you are quick for a while, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction in the imperial court, Xianggong is too rash, this is not done by a wise man."

"Chen Gong doesn't need to say much! I, Wang Song, have a clear conscience, and my heart is for the Great Song Dynasty, and this heart can be for the sun and the moon!"

Wang Song said categorically: "The Jurchen barbarian clan is afraid of power and not virtue, and only by countering violence with violence can we ensure that my Great Song Dynasty state affairs are worry-free." Throughout the ages, the strong have bullied the weak, and it has not been heard that it is possible to convince the public with virtue. Today's punishment is just the beginning, the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, it depends on whose sword is sharp!"

Ouyang Che said softly: "Xianggong, there are more than 2,000 Jin prisoners, does Xianggong really want to starve them to death?"

"It's their own fault, they refuse to eat, and they can't blame the official!"

"Xianggong, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!"

Ouyang Che said on the side: "Xianggong's trick is very clever, just let these thieves fend for themselves, this is also Xianggong's gift to them." These fanzi, killing my Song people, burning, killing and looting, are brutal and unkind, and their hands are stained with the blood of our Song people, and they must not let the tiger return to the mountain!"

Wang Song nodded, Ouyang Che was born recklessly, happy and hateful, and Chen Dong, a minister of the court, looking forward and backward, it is indeed very different.

Wang Song remembered something in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where did this kid Deng Wu go?" He is still counting on him to build this wall! ”

In the Battle of Taiyuan, Deng Wu came with the army to prepare for the reconstruction after the city was broken. And the reason why Deng Wu was called over was naturally to use soil and cement.

"The five Deng brothers have reached half a month, and at that time, our army and the Jurchen army were facing each other, and he could only stay in the army and be anxious. Early this morning, he went out of the city to get busy!"

Zhang Heng said with a smile. The prestige of the Loyal and Righteous Army is flourishing, and Wang Song is like the sky, so he naturally can't help but be overjoyed.

Around Taiyuan City, there are quicklime and clay for making soil and cement everywhere, and near Yongli Jian in the south of the city, the slag left by burning soil salt and ironmaking is piled up like a mountain, boundless, which is a good material for building cement and building city walls.

As for the abandoned lime kiln, it can be used as long as it takes a break. In such a military town as Taiyuan, of course, there will be no shortage of various facilities, and the 30,000 troops of the Song Dynasty will take turns to get off and off the post, and the city wall will naturally be built soon.

Although time is short, Wang Song still wants to rebuild Taiyuan City, after all, the geography of Taiyuan City is too important, and the barrier of the country can be a small earth city today!

First check and fill in the gaps, restore the collapsed part, or build a new city gate, and then enlarge a circle around the entire Taiyuan City to rebuild a new city.

The newly built city is at least twenty or thirty miles in circumference, and as for the original wall, it can be used as an inner city.

The earth cement is strong and durable, convenient and fast, and it is best to build a city.

"The villain greets the minister!"

Lin Tianyou came in, with a smile on his face, and said to Wang Song: "Xianggong, the villain escorted 150 small cannons and corresponding shells and ammunition over, thinking that he could catch up with the use of the army, but I didn't expect that our army had already broken through Taiyuan City!" ”

150 tiger squat cannons, plus the original 150, a total of 300 artillery, Taiyuan City can be impregnable even if there is no city wall.

Wang Song laughed and said, "Brother Lin, you came at the right time, and the official can order the city to be built immediately." ”

Lin Tianyou said happily: "Xianggong, it's good to be able to use it." In accordance with the military order of Xianggong, the villain studied several kinds of artillery, there are 100 catties, there are also 200-300 catties, and the cannon is currently being tested. ”

"God bless, well done!"

Wang Song nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's just right, I'll pick you up tonight, and the two of us will discuss it by the way." ”

Lin Tianyou said in fear: "Xianggong, the villain doesn't dare, please correct Xianggong." ”

Wang Song nodded, and said to Ma Kuo: "Ma Xuanzan, Brother Lin, you two will sum up the battle situation, consider your words, and write a document to report the victory, and the official will give the official a good report."

Ma Kuan came up and bowed solemnly: "Xianggong, the villain and others have done something in private, and I hope that Xianggong will forgive me!"

In this hall, Wang Song's old men are all around, and Ma Kuo is not shy about it.

Wang Song couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "Ma Xuanzan, they are all their own brothers, could it be that you have something unspeakable?"

Ma Kuo took out a document, put it on Wang Song's table, and said in a deep voice: "Xianggong will know it at a glance."

Wang Song looked around, and in the lobby, only Zhang Heng, Dong Ping, and Zhang Xian were left, and even Lin Feng, Wang Yan and others were not in the hall.

Wang Song picked up the paperwork on the table and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

After a long time, he put down the paperwork, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Ma Xuanzan, brothers, you are really well-intentioned, you must have discussed it, and the matter has come to this, so be it."

Zhang Xian knelt down on one knee and said in fear: "Xianggong, this is discussed by villains and others, and I hope Xianggong will not blame!"

Zhang Heng said in a deep voice: "Xianggong, in the past few days, the army will be drilled, and the villain will arrange it to be carried out outside the city." Brother Tianyou will personally escort him when he goes back, and he will never miss anything. Xianggongda can rest assured!"

Wang Song sighed softly, picked up the paperwork, and carefully looked at the details on it.

100,000 stone grain, more than 3,000 war horses, more than 300,000 gold and silver, these brothers are really bold enough, and they directly fill their pockets.

"Xianggong doesn't have to hesitate, and there is no need to blame himself, as the so-called take from the people, use it for the people, we wait for the public to be a piece of heart, and it is clear every day!"

Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about it, this time to conquer Taiyuan, just the compensation of the fallen soldiers, as well as the rewards of the meritorious soldiers, will reach as many as one million." With so many taels of silver, the imperial court can come up with geometry, and in the end, it is not my loyal army that wants to pay this silver. Once packaged and put into storage, we will be exhausted in black and white. ”

Wang Song was silent, Ma Kuo was right. The soldier's reward of about 100,000 taels of silver is enough, but the casualty pension of up to 10,000 people will be worth one million guan according to his usual pension standard. Even if Ma Kuo and others took 300,000 yuan for him, each soldier could only get 30 yuan.

Grain and horses, Wang Song didn't feel anything. These things are in short supply in the camp of Licheng and the iron mill.

As for the other swords, guns and armor, he didn't look down on them. These things can be made on their own, and they are not urgently needed.

"Xianggong, the undercurrent of the court is surging, you have tens of thousands of male soldiers, and the martial artist is in power, it is already boiling and menacing."

Ma Kuo said sincerely: "We are doing this not for the sake of individuals, but for the great cause of resisting gold. Do things fairly, be sincere, and never know how to leave a way back for yourself. The villains do this for the sake of justice. Please also think carefully. ”

Wang Song nodded. In his previous life, he was just a simple and stubborn otaku, how could he understand that there are so many dirty, insidious and intrigues in the world.

If he didn't have Ma Kuo and these people by his side, I'm afraid the road ahead of him would be very difficult.

He smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Brothers, everyone sit down, let's sit down and talk."
