The southbound two-way harvest group was like locusts crossing the border, and soon all the crops and vegetables in Hejian and Cangzhou were collected.

The joy of the harvest is contagious to all. Looking at the countless grains they had harvested after their hard work, the tired monks couldn't help but be happy.

Before, the wave of immigrants and the defectors of Hebei West Road came to the beach and left a large number of board cars in Cangzhou, which was collected by Zhao Zhuang at that time, and it was of great use at this time.

The fruits of the harvest were pulled away from Cangbei and ...... in batches Zhao Zhuang.

What disappointed and annoyed Su Taiwei, who was leisurely looking forward to it, was that Zhao Gonglian didn't plan to give Hejian Mansion a grain and a piece of food.

Needless to say, corn, soybeans, millet and so on, it is inevitable that the broken potatoes and sweet potatoes will be dug up when harvesting, and they will either be fed to the horses or eaten directly by the huge autumn harvest army on the spot.

Even the green corn stalks and sweet potato vines used as silage raw materials, the corn cobs and soybean stalks that are easy to use for fire, are not left, and the shelf type is all of them. Pull away.

The silage production method for livestock to eat over the winter is naturally invented under the guidance of Zhao Yue, and it has been learned in various places, not only the military horses have high-nutrition winter forage, which greatly reduces the huge consumption and burden of having to feed them with grain in order to keep the war horses in good condition, improves the ability to expand the number of war horses, and greatly enhances the ability of ordinary people to raise livestock, so that cattle, sheep and pigs ...... Livestock and poultry in a desolate winter eat less grain but can still eat well, grow fast and fat, the corresponding supply of meat, eggs and milk will be stronger, the majority of ordinary people benefit from it, the income is naturally high, their own meat and eggs are much better, the physical fitness of the entire Chinese nation has been quietly greatly improved, the most obvious proof is that the average height is much taller and stronger than before, The northern barbarians who eat meat are no longer the weakness of this agrarian nation that was inherently incapable of physical fitness and confrontation strength, and which was difficult to overcome in the past. If the barbarian dares to come, he will have a tough physical condition, and he will dare to be tough.

That's how powerful technology is, so important. A little application can often directly change the living conditions of human beings and speed up the process of historical civilization.

Zhao Yue deliberately and quietly promoted and demonstrated the power of science and technology to the Great Song Dynasty and the Chinese nation, sincerely hoping to make some changes in the national pursuit and concept distorted by Confucianism, and hoped that people could realize that science and technology are the most critical and important for the survival and development of a country and a nation from the subjective consciousness, but unfortunately, the rulers of the Song Dynasty benefited from Confucianism's firm control of power from generation to generation, and in order to rule the foolish people, they will only continue to desperately devalue the value of technology and craftsmen. It is only natural to continue to emphasize the importance of the worthless Confucian and Mencian dogma of material wealth creation and civilization leapfrogging, because it is a high-end that does not require hard work, and it is something that is in line with noble status.

Craftsman?

Technology?

That's what the hard-working lower class people do, it's the minutiae, and the free sluts pay attention to it for a living, how can it be worthy of the attention of the holy high temple and temple?

Our generation of bureaucrats is a big man who stands at the top of society, and he controls the major affairs of managing society.

It is okay to benefit from scientific and technological progress, but if one's own interests are harmed by scientific and technological progress, then we must find ways to curb and extinguish it.

It's this mindset and mentality.

It is impossible to expect that the rulers of all levels of the complex Confucian political interest system that have become established will spontaneously respect science and technology and attach importance to its development.

Politics is not a matter of right or wrong, not whether it is conducive to social development and progress, but whether it is most beneficial to those in power.

As long as it is favorable, no matter how wrong the political system and national policy concept and governing method are, no matter how wrong it is, no matter how hindered the progress of human civilization and the happiness of the people's life, it will inevitably persist, and there is a set of brainwashing theories that sound very reasonable, fooling the people into supporting the regime, until the external force or internal factors are too strong to hold on, and the regime collapses with a bang.

The rulers despise technology and have all kinds of means.

Naturally, the people can only follow, and if they want to become a superior person and get out of the bottom, the only way is to become an official in the imperial examination, so they can only attach importance to Confucianism and desperately learn the empty truth......

Zhao Yue naturally got only disappointment.

Trying to improve and change from the inside is a pure joke, only to break and completely destroy the old plate.

Zhao Yue strengthened his will to establish a new country and a new nation in a different place, so that his homeland would be washed in blood and wash away all the filth that he could not remove.

.............

The harvesting group did not even let go of the things that burned the fire for cooking and burning the kang, so that with these, there was no need to go to the mountains to cut firewood in the winter, and it also reduced the destruction of vegetation in Cangbei.

Of course, Hejian Province is not for nothing.

The dry corn stalks that the Cangbei harvest group harvested but left behind like a mountain can be easily used by Hejian Province, and it can also save the matter of cutting firewood by the border army in Hejian.

It's just that this kind of benefit is not only not a comfort to Su Taiwei, but a humiliation.

What do Zhao Gonglian and those civil and military officials in Cangbei want to do?

actually didn't give him face like this.

Don't forget, he is the highest military governor of the entire Gaoyangguan Road, and he is an observer who has the right to supervise the entire Hebei East Road Prefecture.

ruined the achievements of Hejian Mansion to the imperial court, and affected the career and political image of Hejian Mansion officials, including Su Taiwei, which is naturally hatred.

Su Taiwei planted a thorn in his heart, and from following the emperor's and imperial court's intentions against Zhao Gonglian, he became hostile and wanted to clean up the Zhao family and Zhao Gonglian.

He quietly strengthened the surveillance and military defense of Qingzhou and the entire Cangbei, and shifted the focus of his troops from resisting the Liao Kou to targeting Cangbei.

Confucian politics is the best at the tradition of infighting, and Su Taiwei has made these arrangements, which is also a traditional habit.

At the same time, he also wanted to get grain and vegetables from the Cangbei harvest group, maintain decent political performance, give an explanation to the imperial court, and do not hesitate to use force and authority to pressure and seize it.

He doesn't have to arrange this matter himself, let alone come forward in person.

The other officials of Hejian Province, who were very angry, blew up and did not agree, and the judge rushed forward first as the representative.

Hejian Tongju led the soldiers to block the grain transport team all the way and surrounded it.

He rode on his horse and glared arrogantly at the small group of Cangbei cavalry who were escorting the cart, and shouted at the leading officer: "Where do you want to transport the grain from my house? ”

Although he is only the general judge of Hejian Mansion, he can't control Cangbei, let alone the Cangbei Army, but his official position and power are there, and he is qualified to reprimand and clean up the little cavalry officers.

Don't say it's a drink to ask, what if the official just kills you, the lowly little army leader?

What can Zhao Gonglian do?

Turning his face, he can't cure the sins of his own officials.

Marquis Wen Cheng is no longer the favored nobleman who was only afraid of being more fearful than Cai Jingjing. The officer killed his soldiers, and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't help the officer.

Getting into trouble in the court is nothing more than a war of words and a bad war. Whoever is justified and who is guilty is nothing but the power of the mouth to stir up.

But who in the court today would be stupid towards Zhao Gonglian, who has lost power?

Even if the imperial court does not dare to rectify Zhao Gonglian in the current unfavorable situation, at least, at least, the imperial court will favor the side of Hejian Mansion, which is nothing more than a matter of harmony.

The grain is harvested from the north, and Hejian Mansion snatched the grain without any effort, so what?

The imperial court only cares about the 100,000 border troops in Hejian Province having food and vegetables to eat, and does not need the imperial court to worry about the troublesome allocation, but only cares that the imperial court can reduce this huge expenditure burden, and the central government does not have to worry. How could the emperor and the powerful ministers who had the final say care who collected the grain? How can you care about Hejian Mansion in the autumn harvest?

That's the big picture.

No matter how hard Zhao Gonglian and his subordinates work, it is useless to be wronged. You have to give the harvested grain to Hejian Mansion to enjoy.

This is political conspiracy, and you have to be able to play.

Zhao Gonglian doesn't know how to play this, wishful thinking wants to use labor to sweep away the grain of Hejian Mansion, it's really naïve and delusional!

And this is the territory of Hejian Prefecture, there are 100,000 heavy soldiers, and it is not a place where the Cangbei army can spread wild. Zhao Gonglian can't manage this, and authoritarianism can't do this.

The Cangbei government was afraid of Zhao Gonglian, but the officials of Hejian Mansion did not take Zhao Gonglian seriously.

This kind of situation and mentality is the confidence and reason why this general judge dared to come forward to rob the grain and dare to wave his army to kill the officers and men of the Cangbei Army.

He thought that at the slightest exertion of power, this little officer must be afraid, at least he had to dismount and salute a high-ranking official like him, and then talk about difficulties and argue about them.

Unexpectedly, the little officer only glanced at him, not only did he not have the slightest tendency to dismount and ask for peace, but also came up directly.

"Hehe, the food in your house? Do you call it a promise? ”

"Huh?"

The general judge was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and the halberd pointed at the officer and shouted angrily: ", you dare to be disrespectful to the official, it's really a dog's guts." ”

I don't want the junior officer to still not be domineering at all, but he also has a cold face, and sneered: "If you have something to say, your official authority is not good for our army." Grain is ownerless, and whoever reaps it will be whomever he reaps. Even if we want to talk about regional belonging, it belongs to our Great Song Dynasty first. It is the Great Song Dynasty, and what we collect, naturally belongs to us in Cangbei. ”

The general judge was completely angry: "What a tricky thief army, do you want to try the power of my Hejian Mansion and take the initiative to find death?" ”

waved his hand, "Come on, arrest all this team of Cangbei soldiers who don't know the rules of the system." If there is resistance, it will not be counted. ”

The officers and soldiers of Hejian Mansion snorted, drew their swords and guns, and rushed up, although most of them were newly strong murderers and rotten people, but they were also quite motivated to obey orders.

Because this also involves the issue of their food, which is directly related to their own vital interests.

Unexpectedly, the petty officer was still not afraid when he saw dozens of times the officers and soldiers of Hejian Mansion fiercely surround him.

With a choking sound, he drew the knife in his hand, and his subordinates followed suit.

The petty officer rode the horse and sneered: "I haven't killed anyone for a long time since the first battle of the Liao thieves in the summer. Someone sent it to the door today to try the knife, just right. This battle is nothing more than death. ”

None of the forty or fifty cavalry under him were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they were afraid of the strength of the soldiers of Hejian Mansion and retreated, so they followed the horses and swords and prepared to fight for their lives.

The general judge was stunned, really stunned, and looked at this Cangbei cavalry very incomprehensibly.

You are just some small soldiers, lowly people, who are ordered to take food, knowing that they are invincible, and the food is given to Hejian Mansion and not for Liao Kou to get, so that you can sacrifice your life to fight for your life?

I have long heard that the Cangbei Army is brave and fierce in battle, and everyone is not afraid of death, but now I look at this style, it is really a group of outlaws who do not know life and death.

However, it is useless to try hard.

This is the sphere of influence of the Ho Ma Province, the main province. There are many officers and soldiers.

He waved his hand and ordered the officers and soldiers to attack.

It is necessary to see whether the Cangbei army is really not afraid of death, or whether it is pretending to be pretentious, intending to use this power to deter the enemy, and is timid without a fight.

The soldiers of Hejian Mansion rushed up with a loud voice.

The horseback generals led by him rode up on horseback, raised his big sword, and his eyes flashed fiercely, obviously preparing for death.

The cavalry junior officer was not afraid of the general with high force and power on the other side, and he didn't know how many times bigger than him, but instead stared at the horse and urged him to meet the sword first.

Dare to do it?

It doesn't matter if you are a Liao Kou or a general of the Great Song Dynasty, they are all enemies, and you can kill them according to them. Who lives and dies depends on their own ability and courage.

A general and a small officer, the two horsemen with too asymmetrical ranks were together in the blink of an eye.

The river general is using a long-handled broadsword, and it is far away from a fierce sword. This knife proves that it is indeed a real murder and a life.

Unexpectedly, the little officer turned his hand from behind and showed a delicate small crossbow, and shot it without hesitation, hitting the general's face.

"Ahh

The general dismounted with a howl, but the junior officer also arrived, and with a cold and firm sword, he cut off the head of the fallen general.

Blood gushed from his neck and the headless corpse rumbled to the ground. The petty officer had already crossed his horse, attacked with a shout of his sword, and led his men to rush towards the riverside infantry group.

"Huh?"

When the judge saw this terrible scene, he was so shocked that he cried out.

He was an official transferred from Tokyo by the imperial court after the destruction of the Yamen of Hejian Prefecture in the summer and the death of all the corrupt and criminal officials from the prefect's mansion to the lower levels.

The people who came out of the heroic tomb of Tokyo's wealthy and peaceful township are also cowardly scholars who are accustomed to killing people without a knife and without seeing blood, how have they ever seen such a bloody and terrifying battle. This surprise and the peeing of the pants of the horse is already considered a bit of courage on the part of the judge.

In a trance, when the subordinates of the little officer attracted the attention of the heavy soldiers of the river, he himself suddenly rode his horse and turned to give up the rush to kill the soldiers of the river and rushed to the general judgment, and the knife flashed and cut the small guy next to the general judgment, and then grabbed the general judgment, and the bloody knife was against the throat of the general judgment, so frightened that the general judgment rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

The soldiers of Hejian Mansion obviously never expected that the Cangbei Army would really dare to fight with so many of them on the territory of Hejian Mansion and really kill people, let alone that this little officer would dare to sentence the dignified Hejian Mansion, and they never thought that they would need to focus on protecting adults. As soon as the general who accompanied the general died, there was no force around the general judge, and as a result, the small officer in Cangbei seized the loophole and cheated easily........

In astonishment, he listened to the little officer's knife and sneered and shouted: "Before coming, our handsome marquis has an order: 'This autumn harvest in the south is related to whether the more than 500,000 monks and prisoners in Cangbei can be stable, whether the border pass in Cangbei can be stably held, and the autumn harvest task must not be taken lightly. Everything is about keeping food. If anyone dares to use tricks or even force to calculate food, then it is the enemy of our Great Song Dynasty, and the generals can only let go and kill the enemy. There is something to bear. There is revenge for you. I will not hesitate to go to war in the northern part of the country, and I will not spare him. ’”

When Hejian Tongju heard this, his face couldn't help but turn white: For this batch of grain, Zhao Gonglian actually dared to wave his army to attack his own people who were also Song Jun?

The junior officer stared at the general judge with disdain and sneered: "Our marshal Marshal also said that the monks and soldiers have high martial arts, and they have also trained the battle formation and loyalty and fighting spirit, but they are not really a strong army, and they still lack actual combat training." Lord Tongju, do you want to try the new power of the angry eyes of the Cangbei monks and soldiers who are full of resentment, and start a war with my Cangbei boy? ”
