Chapter 423: Being in Yan Land is the King

Tianjin Wei, port.

As the five big ships sailed in, the crowd erupted in cheers, and the pedal was lowered Yang Lin to return to the city he had built single-handedly.

Enclosure and building a city, what a kind of courage, in just one year, has begun to take shape. Who is not amazed by Shaozai's vision, this is indeed a natural port, and it has developed rapidly after taking back Youyan.

You must know that when the city was built at that time, the entire land of Youyan was under the control of the Khitans, and Tianjin Wei can be said to have started to build under the noses of the Khitans.

Yang Lin stepped off the bow of the boat and looked back, under the bright sunshine, the sea water came in waves. On the port, there was a crowd of people, and I don't know how many people came to greet them.

Tianjin Wei will soon become the second Mizhou port, Yang Lin secretly calculated in his heart that the location of this place is not inferior to Mizhou. The former was occupied by the Khitan because Youyan, and it became the handover of the two countries, and the Khitans often took the Yandi to rob and plunder. Now Tianjin Wei has changed into an inland area, far away from the border passes, and the Great Wall and Youyan Junzhou are the screen domains, and the safety has been guaranteed.

As long as this Song-Jin War can defend the Great Wall and repel the Jurchens, and attract those merchants who are still watching, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of this place in the future.

Yang Lin walked towards everyone, and the military generals and civil officials of Tianjin Wei stepped forward together and hugged their fists to greet them. Yang Lin responded with a smile, and after walking less than three steps, he pointed to the distance and said: "When Youyan was lost, my Great Song Dynasty planted countless trees in Hebei, with the intention of replacing the Great Wall at the border pass and resisting foreign cavalry. Nowadays, the border soldiers are strong and strong, and these century-old trees can be used as shipbuilding materials, and they can be used locally. ”

Tianjin used to be the hardest hit area of the Khitan Grass Valley, and the big trees on both sides of the port are straight and towering, and they should have grown for at least decades.

These officials were originally enthusiastic about taking him to the newly opened restaurant to pick up the wind, but when they heard that Yang Shaozai was so diligent, they all straightened up and listened carefully.

Yang Lin looked around left and right and said: "The intention of planting trees is good, but now that the wind direction has changed, these trees are also more dense, and many of them occupy fertile land, leaving the people with no land to cultivate." And it obstructs the official road, which is like a roadblock, and it's time to clean it up. ”

The official road of the port has to pass through a dense forest, but the road in the middle is quite wide, and a lot of huge trees have been cut down. In order to prevent the Khitan from going south, it was really not easy for the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty in Bianliang for a hundred years, and even gave these big trees special legislation to protect them.

Unintentionally inserted willows, which were originally a giant tree that hindered the development of Hebei, became a shipbuilding, bridges, houses, and blades... good material.

Crossing the dense forest, everyone surrounded Yang Lin and came to a restaurant built by the sea, with white walls and gray tiles, red lacquer and vermilion columns, which was somewhat elegant.

After going upstairs, Yang Lin took off his official robe and only wore a light white shirt, which showed that he was quite interested. Next to him are two women, a master and a maid, the little maid is more radiant than snow, and her body is curly, although she is delicate, she is also an ordinary beauty.

The woman beside her, tall and tall, overpowered many men present, the snow-white silk sleeves were narrow and close-fitting, and the embroidered gold belt was tied, which made her look slim waist and round chest, bright and glamorous with three points of heroism, which was extraordinarily sultry.

The officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty was merry, and there was no human-destroying etiquette in later generations, and it was normal for women to show their heads. Everyone thought it was normal, but Yang Shaozai brought his own female dependents, and the singers and dancers who were originally prepared didn't have to play. After taking his seat, Yang Lin did not continue to talk about government affairs, but chatted with the civil and military officials present.

This time is different from Mizhou, if there is no accident, Yang Lin will stay here for a long time until the matter in Beijing is over. In other words, he has plenty of time and is not in a hurry to do so.

After all, Tianjin Wei is a newly built new city, and the officials here are not of high rank, and the imperial court is set up according to the county seat. Yang Lin's official position was too high, and everyone unconsciously felt a little unnatural, Yang Lin took the initiative to chat with them, so everyone let go.

Yang Shaozai is famous, and it is rumored that this person is not easy to get along with, and he often beats and scolds his colleagues. The officials of Tianjin Wei were still afraid, but who knew that after getting along, Yang Shaozai treated people kindly, like a spring breeze, and was not arrogant because of his high power, but was very close.

After a while, the wine and food were served, and on the banquet, the glass was pushed and changed, and a few generals slowly went to the restraint, which would enliven the atmosphere.

Speaking of the Jurchen Tartars, a military general patted his thigh and said, "Shaozai has heard that the Jurchen Tartars are going to fight Ulzhou." ”

Yang Lin naturally knew, nodded, and a burst of laughter erupted around him. Hu Xian Ling said with a smile: "Ulzhou City was built by Li Keyong at the end of the Tang Dynasty, not only is it strong, but its tile and stone luster can shine on the face, even Datong is not as good. The Jurchen Tatars were also ignorant, and even thought that Ulzhou would be easier to fight than Datong. ”

"Not good!" Yang Lin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but shout.

Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at Yang Lin blankly. The cheerful atmosphere at the banquet was swept away, and Xu Yuenu also stared at him, not knowing what Yang Lin, whose face was cloudy, thought of.

"Ulzhou is so strong, and he is not a fool, will he abandon the Yunzhou Mansion where Yelu Yanxi is hidden, and go to fight Laoshizi Ulzhou instead? This eighty percent is the Tartar's plan to attack the east and west, turning around from Ulzhou to the east, but it is Youyan Yizhou Mansion! ”

"The Jurchen Tartars are eager for revenge, and Yelu Yanxi and his Khitan court are like frightened birds. I think it's probably that they have reached some kind of armistice agreement in private, and they want to fight Youyan first and avenge the Eastern Route Army of the Jin State. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone really didn't expect this. As soon as the hatred of Liaojin was deeper, Yelu Yanxi was in Yunzhou, and the world thought that the Jurchens would attack Yunzhou Mansion to the death.

And now the weather is unbearable, the Jurchens are fierce and brute in the ice and snow, and they don't think that they will go south in this weather.

But what is a surprise attack, that is, when everyone else thinks you are going west, you turn around and fight east. The more Yang Lin thought about it, the more afraid he became, he had long been familiar with the map around Youyun, although he had removed the title of deputy marshal of soldiers and horses, and the pacification envoy of Hedong Black Mountain, Hebei, Yang Lin didn't care at all, and still had the posture that Lao Tzu was a field marshal, and got up to give orders.

"Hurry up and send out the horses, notify the Yizhou government to strengthen the city defense, send more light cavalry sentries to patrol, and call on the villagers of Youyan to form a walled city to protect themselves; ordered the defenders of Bazhou, Gu'an, Fanyang, and Laishui to be stationed in the areas of Baima Mountain, Taining Mountain, and Wolf Mountain; Han Shizhong continued to guard the Great Wall, and Zong Ze retreated to Changping Juyong Pass. ”
