Chapter 674: Goji Berries as Rice
Three hundred and sixty days a year, often accompanied by wind and dust on the road.
When Yang Lin and his entourage arrived at Youyan, the two sides formed a new confrontation situation in the area of the Baiyu River and the Great Wall.
On the grassland, a new game of cat and mouse has just begun, and the Song army will encircle and annihilate the main force of Hebule in Qingzuka Mountain.
After the First World War, the long-tired Hebule army, because of the unstable morale of the army and the lack of food and grass for a long time, was defeated by Wu Jue and the Northwest Army.
He Bule died in battle, and his body was divided by seven or eight soldiers and brought back for merit.
The collapsed Mongol army, scattered and fled, wandering homeless in the steppe.
From Shuozhou to Yunnei and then to Youyan, between the vertical and horizontal mountain roads, countless soldiers and horses have stepped out of the big roads.
In recent years, there have been constant wars at the border passes, with hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, and the road surface has even been trampled very hard during the march, which is firmer than being pressed with rolling stones.
Looking at the city wall of Yizhou from afar, Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the people behind him and said, "It's coming soon." ”
Yizhou, which used to be garrisoned by Wu Jue, now has no army, but the people are gradually increasing.
The border war has been too fierce in recent years, and many people are reluctant to live in the Jingzhou area of Danzhou, so they simply move here.
Anyway, Youyan has a lot of open space, and several wars have caused the population here to drop sharply.
In today's Youyan land, most of the population is the officers and soldiers stationed here, not the people of Nanjing under the rule of the Great Liao in the past.
Several officials led the crowd to greet them at the gate of the city, and after Yang Lin got out of the car, he exchanged a few words with them and entered the city.
Yizhou is the hub connecting Yunnei and Youyan, and many materials are transferred from here, and the streets are full of people who are transporting back and forth.
Nowadays, as a people's husband, the service salary is very high, and these farmers who have strength are also willing to make a small fortune.
Seeing a group of officers and soldiers coming in with a carriage, the people on the street avoided one after another, standing in groups on the side of the road, whispering, guessing which big man had come to Yizhou.
In front of a mansion, the guards of the Long Live Battalion took the lead in entering and guarding the gates of each courtyard, and after some inspection, Yang Lin and a group of officials entered.
Now is an extraordinary period, and Yang Lin has many enemies in the Great Song Dynasty, so he can't afford to take it lightly.
The good situation, once Yang Lin dies, first the country will be chaotic, and then the hard-won situation will also be in vain.
After sitting down, Yang Lin immediately said: "It's late autumn now, and the grassland is already freezing and snowy, which is not suitable for continuing to fight. The various tribes of the steppe have been conquered and driven to the south and defected to the Kerebu. The biggest characteristic of these Mongols is that they are aware of current affairs, they are accustomed to big things, and whoever is strong and strong is their people, and they have no sense of ethnicity. ”
"In other words, we have destroyed the rule of the Mongols from the roots, and the defeated stragglers are not worth mentioning."
The Yizhou officials nodded and smiled at each other, and Governor Liu said: "Shaozai Yingming, who would have thought that it would be so easy to solve the Shaanxi-Gansu border trouble, and also solve the Mongols." ”
In fact, the Great Song and Mongolia did not fight each other before, because there was a Western Xia between them, and when the Western Xia was poor and crazy, they went to fight the grass valley of Qinlong, and the poorer Mongols further north, when they were about to starve to death, went to plunder the Western Xia.
But everyone knows that there was no evil in the past, and it will definitely be inevitable in the future, and after a single border, this is the new border enemy.
Now that the First World War has settled the grasslands, at least for decades to come, no one will offend.
As long as Shaozai handles the relationship in the desert well, it is not good to say that it is a foreign province with the likes of the Western Regions and Dali.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the work of opening the border has not been stronger than today's.
The subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, who were accustomed to defense, finally had a day to raise their eyebrows, and this is the demeanor of a big country that matches the economy and people's livelihood.
Governor Liu smiled: "What Shaozai means, is there going to be a truce?" ”
Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "It's not a truce, but a change of tactics to avoid being taken advantage of by the Tartars in the cold winter and turning defeat into victory." What we have temporarily stopped is a large-scale corps battle, but small-scale battles will not stop, this is a battlefield of life and death, we will not give the Tartars time to breathe, and they will not give us the opportunity to recuperate. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled lightly and said, "The next major event should be handed over to our friendly countries." Next, I will go to the area of Pinglu and Tianjin to inspect the earthquake damage. ”
"Come on, let Yang Ziqian, the prince of the DPRK, go to Tianjin Port to see me."
---
At the seaside of Tianjin, a shipload of supplies arrived at the port, and the port that had not been completely repaired could vaguely see the aftermath of the original tsunami.
In a small temporary pavilion on the top of the mountain, Yang Lin held a clairvoyant mirror and looked around.
He put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to Ruan Xiaoqi: "The imperial court authorized the sleeve building to issue bonds, which gives us the opportunity to concentrate on big things, and this disaster relief is an example." The port should be repaired first so that it can better accommodate the supplies and manpower that come to support it. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Shaozai Yingming, Governor Zhang An, who presided over this matter some time ago, also said so. ”
"Where's Zhang An?" Thinking that Zhang An is from Hebei, he will definitely be more attentive than ordinary officials, and he has experience in starting construction and groundbreaking, and he is an expert in this area, so Yang Lin has the heart to let him be in charge of this matter.
"Governor Zhang is building roads, the roads are full of cracks, and it's okay that the houses have collapsed, but the main thing is that the giant trees hurt people and block the roads, which is difficult to deal with."
Yang Lin shook his head, and said in his heart that this great Song monarch and minister, the method of planting trees to resist the enemy, is simply lacking in virtue and arriving home.
Not only did it block the roads here, it affected the exchanges with the heart of the Central Plains, but also made the Han people in the north drift away from Germany.
While he was talking, a fortune boat docked in the distance, and a group of Kong Wu majestic soldiers came down.
Yang Lin glanced at it inadvertently, and said strangely: "Isn't this from Xujiazhuang?" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi raised his hand to shade the sun, glanced at it, and said: "It's not wrong, mother, that outfit is worth a thousand children and eight hundred yuan, who can afford it." ”
A few women slowly walked down the deck, and Yang Lin took a look at the clairvoyant mirror, and it was Xu Yuenu and Zhehuanxiang.
This is his two-room family in Bianliang, raised in the outer room, and he found it without telling himself why he came, and it looks like their relationship is not bad.
Yang Lin sighed, led people to greet them, and saw from a distance that they were being guarded by the generals of Xujiazhuang, and they couldn't see themselves at all.
After Yang Lin passed, Ruan Xiaoqi gasped, the eldest lady of Xujiazhuang was okay, he knew it, she was heroic and tall.
The one next to her, with a graceful figure, wore a lake-green narrow-sleeved blouse and a peacock blue peak-necked shirt. The facial features are exquisite and flawless, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, like a phoenix, and the skin of the snow cheeks reveals the pink of peach blossoms, which is naturally a little tempting.
This is simply a fox who has become a sperm, Ruan Xiaoqi said secretly in his heart: Brother Gongming said that a knife on the head of the word color is the most eroding of the body and bones of a hero, I didn't believe it in the past, but when I saw it today, I knew that what my brother said was true. If this woman marries a wife, wolfberries will be difficult to heal... Shaozai, he is really a good mouth.
Yang Lin had already greeted him and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Others don't know that Zhehuanxiang has just given birth to a child for half a year, and he is running around.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin was a little angry, he looked back, and sure enough, he saw the jewel of one of the six beads of the Zhuxiang generation, and he was holding a swaddling baby.
A group of people were looking at themselves in surprise.
