The Great Yan Kingdom was destroyed like this, at the age of about three months, for this Great Yan Kingdom with such a short lifespan, there should only be a small line of words left in the history books, such as: Yanyun rises from thieves, establishes the country of Dayan, lasts for three months, Gan Qi is destroyed, and Yanyun is the first to be safe.

History books are always cold, and China's formal chronicles almost never record details, only the beginning and end of an event. This kind of history book has no temperature, but there is one thing, that is, the specific trend and occurrence of history are extremely credible, and even the astronomical changes of which year, month, and day will be recorded, such as China's comet record, which is extremely complete.

In biographical history books, there will be more details and more character evaluations. When you read this kind of book, you have to read it with your brain, and some people write history with both the attitude of a victor and the conjecture of a person.

Therefore, when looking at history books, it is obvious that we have to look at it dialectically, and most of the Chinese history books have no problem with the development of events, but many of the details are worth exploring.

This is not to criticize the Chinese's habit of writing history, because China is the only country in the world that has such a detailed record of history. No other place, no matter what kind of ancient civilization and the like, has such a detailed history recorded. Even many ancient civilizations take myths and stories as history.

For example, the Indian "Magabharata" and "Ramayana", and "Homer's epic". This thing is the manuscript of the troubadour's storytelling, in fact, it is the storyteller's storytelling book in the teahouse, which is used to make money to make a living, and it cannot be said that they are all fake, but it is certainly not true.

Another example is the Roman Empire, a historical period that spans a wide period of time, with a total of one or two thousand years of succession, but no history book has been handed down. It's as if the emperor himself wrote a book to tell future generations what happened at that time, this is not the posture of a victor, this is the perspective of the protagonist in a single latitude. It's also okay, Caesar was really recording things from his own time at that time, which is already a rare historical material in the West. Come to think of it, there is also a Tacitus, which is somewhat similar to Sima Qian.

After several times, there is no official record in the West that has a regular thing of duration. Most of the history depends on all kinds of spelling, this feeling, as if the Chinese have taken all kinds of wild histories and storytellers' words handed down to splic, put together, up and down for thousands of years, there is!

However, the Mediterranean civilization is not bad, as for what ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and ancient India, not to mention, it is not to deny their prosperity in history, but it is difficult for future generations to understand what their real situation is, the most ridiculous is India, history is a mythological story, and then you have to find the history of other civilizations to corroborate and study your own true history, your ancestors, even a few words of truth have not been left, and you have to find history from the travelogues of Tang Dynasty monks.

History, all the history of the world, is probably just that.

In front of Gan Qi, it was not these things, but the 200,000 people who needed to go home to farm, and many thieves who needed to be transported to Quanzhou to mine.

There are also many people who are receiving adaptation, among which Shen Heizi is busy before and after, and Lin Yanyan is also busy before and after, and he has selected six or seven thousand relatively innocent people to be incorporated into the Wansheng Army under Gan Qi.

The northwest first sent more than 10,000 young and strong men recruited from all over the place, and they had just arrived in Yanjing City, when so many young men with familiar accents suddenly came, which made Di Qing feel good and immediately threw himself into the work of drilling.

The Northwest man, in this era, is the most durable and tough. This may not be true, it should be said that the Northwest Han has been fierce since ancient times, the land of Longxing in Great China, the old Qin, the great Han, and the Tang of all countries are all there, and the men there have been fierce since ancient times.

These more than 10,000 people have directly filled into Ganqi's mighty army, and more Northwest men will be recruited to serve in the army in the future, but that's all later, in front of him, Ganqi's mighty army, the number is probably so much, the original more than 10,000 people under Ganqi's command, plus more than 10,000 Northwest men, can basically be counted as 30,000 people, in fact, it is not full of 30,000 people.

These 30,000 mighty troops will be Ganqi's mobile troops and Ganqi's elite troops.

Wan Sheng's army, already full, 100,000 people. Stationed at countless large and small passes, half of the men and horses under Ganqi's command in the past entered the Wansheng Army, thinking that they were the backbone. A large number of young and strong people were transferred from the Hebei Lianglu and Hedong and Gyeonggi forbidden armies, and many Liao soldiers were reorganized, and thousands of old departments of the Great Yan State were also reorganized.

In this way, 100,000 people were gathered and stationed at various passes and Datong City in Yanjing City.

There is also a military force in Yanyunli, that is, the Great Song Border Army, which moved north from the Hedong defense line in Hebei, has a lot of numbers, but it is actually unusable, but there are always some uses, such as being stationed in various state capitals and counties, which still plays a great role in public security.

Generally speaking, at this time, Yan Yun's army has exceeded 1780,000.

Salary is a big problem in front of Ganqi, and Ganqi's operation is a lot more expansion of the original establishment of the imperial court, at least 50,000 or 60,000 people have been enlisted in the army, which means that there are 50,000 or 60,000 more salaries. Moreover, Gan Qi also added treatment to the front-line troops himself, giving money, food and meat.

It's all money, and not only that, Ganchi is also building ordnance equipment on a large scale, and the mighty army needs complete iron armor and blades, and even various bows and crossbows. Wanshengjun also at least ensures that everyone has armor, good and bad can be different, but everyone must have it, and a large number of things to defend the city must be purchased, and bows and crossbows and arrows are indispensable.

With such a large expenditure, the imperial court is obviously powerless.

Ganchi asked all the state capitals in the north to hand over armor, blades, bows, crossbows, etc., and on the other hand, he spent a lot of money to build them, and of course, he also had to cry poverty with Tokyo, one point at a time.

Yanyun is everywhere, there are houses everywhere, wealthy families, as long as they have a relationship with the Khitans, they will not let go of any of them.

To put it bluntly, one word, rob!

You can't just rob it, you have to do some good things, such as robbing it, you have to build roads, bridges, schools, and even sell some land that belongs to wealthy families to the people at a low price.

Anyway, we can't let Yan Yun mess up, and if you crack down on a group, you have to win over a bigger group of people. robbed the wealthy family, you have to win over the poor people, coupled with heavy ammunition pressure, so there will be no chaos.

This is not to fight local tyrants to divide the fields, this is Ganqi's naked way of robbery, the fields will not be divided casually, especially now, he has to keep these fields, sell them at a low price, rent them at a low price, and even grow a season of grain for free.

But Gan Qi had to keep a lot of land, without him, just to motivate the army. Meritorious service will be rewarded, and fighting for life can change life, as long as a man fights with his life, he can really exchange for wealth and wealth, and he can become a big landlord with thousands of acres of fertile land, Gan Qi said he did.

In terms of meritorious deeds, it has already begun, and the people who followed Gan Qi to work hard at the beginning were more or less, there were more than two acres of one acre, there were many ten acres and eight acres, and it was not uncommon for more than 100 acres.

The title deed was prepared by the new government and personally sent to the army.

Gan Xianggong is such a perfect coach.

It is also Gan Qi who is different from the previous commanders who led the troops, Gan Qi really opened up the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and he really dared to rob Yanyun's wealthy families, and he really dared to take these lands in his hands to reward meritorious deeds.

It might have been a problem, too, but Ganchi didn't care about that, and did what he wanted.

There is food, pay and meat to eat, and there is land reward for meritorious service in war.

This undoubtedly made the more than 100,000 men under Gan Qi's command have a kind of expectation for the war with the fastest means, and the people's affection for the drill has soared.

This is Lao Qin's method, and it is also the method of the early Tang Dynasty. It's not perfect, but at this time of urgency, it works and works wonders.

In the hot military camp, the most talked about is the matter of land.

The recruit from the northwest looked at his team leader with envious eyes, and asked, "Team leader Zhang, did you really get two acres of land this time?" ”

Team Zhang took it out of his arms, deliberately raised a piece of paper in the air, and said: "Look, look at it clearly, I think you are not literate, Zhuozhou, two acres of land at Xiaoliang Qiaokou are now rented and planted, but the rent price is too cheap." ”

"Team leader, are you literate?"

"Where the do I know how to read? But I asked someone to read it, and it was proper, and the official seals of Zhuozhou were all there. When the war is over, I will go back to Hebei, take my father and mother and little brother, and if I grow it myself, I will make money. However, two acres of land is still a little less, and I can't support a few people in a family, and I have to pay for it, if there is ten acres, it will be about the same......" Zhang team head thought.

"Team leader, when will this battle begin? I can't wait, if I also kill a few more enemies, Gan Xianggong will give a reward of ten acres of land, then I will also go to the northwest to pick up my father and mother, and take root here, don't go back, and then take a room of little mother, Meidi is very! ”

Team Zhang laughed: "You kid, let's get through the drill first, Lao Tzu has just saved two acres, and you kid dare to think about ten acres of land?" ”

"Don't underestimate people!"

Team Zhang patted him on the shoulder: "Your baby has great ambition!" ”

"Team leader, don't learn from me to speak, it doesn't look like it."

Suddenly, the drums in the camp beat loudly.

Team leader Zhang hurriedly stood up: "The drums have gathered the troops, take all the guys' things, hurry up, go, go out and gather." ”

"Team leader, is this going to war?"

"I don't know, let's go assemble first, move faster."

On the platform, there is still a golden armor, standing motionless, and the person set off by the armor is mighty.

Under the stage, in a school field the size of several football fields, there were 30,000 people standing full.

The generals from all over the country came with their subordinates, and reported to the audience first, Jin Jia nodded, and didn't say much, just stood with a serious face.

30,000 people, lined up neatly one by one without saying a word.

There are more than 10,000 recruits from the northwest, and the drill has not been more than a month, but they also stand straight and straight, and they all know that they don't say a word.

Gan Qi began to speak: "The Liao people are coming, and I heard that there are more than a million troops. ”

Gan Qi paused, and a general in the audience answered: "Haha...... 700,000 in the first place, and now another million? Xianggong, the Liao people just know how to brag. ”

Gan Qi also smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Of the 30,000 people, those who can really hear Gan Qi speak clearly are some of the people near the audience.

But this unafraid voice shouted again and again, and after a few sounds, 30,000 people were shouting this sentence.

"Fuck them, fuck them!"

"Kill them."

Shouting and shouting, all kinds of words came out.

Gan Qi raised his hand slightly, the audience was silent, and said: "Don't say anything else, the battle is won, and the reward is there!" ”

"Xianggong, we should fight bravely to kill the enemy, and not fall into the prestige of Xianggong!"

"Xianggong only disciplined those Yu Hou clerks in the army to take the pen well, but don't make mistakes in remembering our military exploits."

"Okay, in this battle, the head of a Liao person is an acre of land, the brothers just have to fight, and the Yuhou clerks will also put on armor and go into battle, let them follow you and remember it for you." Gan Qi is out of the way, and he forced those Yuhou documents and the like to go into battle, just to let the soldiers have no distractions and just kill the enemy. This is not enough, and each of them has to let a few more people be responsible for recording, and where it cannot be recorded, the head shall prevail.

Hand over a head, for an acre of land.

"Xianggong is mighty, Xianggong is mighty!"

"Xianggong is victorious, Xianggong is invincible!"

After shouting for a while, Gan Qi raised his hand again, and the audience was silent again, Gan Qi smiled: "There's nothing to say, I'm done, I'm leaving, you go back to the camp and get ready, and leave tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, Gan Qi stepped down directly from the stage. This is a mobilization meeting, there is no righteousness of the family and country, and there is no chicken soup for the soul, the content is very simple, but Gan Qi personally wore a gold armor and announced it in front of everyone, and the meaning is obviously different.

The Liao people are really here, a million troops, and Gan Qi doesn't know how much.

Because although Gan Qi sent many people to investigate, it was the intelligence of Liaodong and the grassland that inquired, which was really not what the Han people were good at.

However, Gan Qi also has conjectures, it is only two or three hundred thousand, and it can't come out of this number, the Liao people have no Yanyun, the national strength is obviously not as good as before, and the food supply is definitely not so abundant, two or three hundred thousand is still Gan Qi's full calculation, and there is also Gan Qi's estimate of the population of Liao today.

Early the next morning, Ganchi led his troops to march, and the nomadic fishermen and hunters went south. During the Han and Tang dynasties, in the northwest. In the Song and Ming dynasties, it was Datong and Yanjing.

Yanyun has two lines of defense, one is in Datong, and the other is in the north of Yanjing, Gubei and other passes.

Obviously, Datong is one of the easiest places to attack.

Gan Qi went straight to Datong, where is the focus of the defense line. Outside the defense line, there is the grassland, and only Datong can really expand such a large-scale army of the Liao people.

However, it also prevented the Liao people from attacking on two fronts, so Di Qing went to the Gubei line.

Defensive warfare, without him, is to be prepared and wait for the enemy to come.
