Chapter 677: Strong, Big Stone

To build a strong enough empire, in Yang Lin's conception, there is no need for the surrounding vassal states to accumulate armies.

They only need to come up with a certain amount of money, which is used as a supply every year, and the Great Song garrison protects their safety.

In this way, it can also avoid the rise of a new Fanbang, which in turn bites the Central Plains Dynasty.

It costs a lot of money to raise an army, and they took out this money in exchange for the blessing of the Great Song army, so why not.

Yang Lin's kindness, the surrounding countries do not appreciate it, he does not know.

However, for the sake of this grand plan, he has already begun to work on it, and it has been realized one by one.

The easiest should be Goryeo, and Goryeo, where the doctrine of the Great Thing is prevalent, is relatively easy to succeed in.

Yang Lin took out an army in Tianjin and took hundreds of craftsmen to Goryeo to build fortifications.

Early in the morning, Yang Ziqian came to say goodbye, Yang Lin had just finished a set of punches, and said while wiping his sweat: "After I go back, Haosheng persuaded the Goryeo monarchs and ministers to know the benefits and disadvantages, and not to make trouble in the country." ”

Yang Ziqian was deeply moved, wiped his tears, and said: "Your Highness cares so much about the small country of Goryeo, so that the villain is grateful and remembered. ”

This person is really interesting, Yang Lin admired him a little from the bottom of his heart, turned around and ordered, and after a while, Baozhu came holding a sword with a golden sheath and jade handle.

Yang Lin took the sword and pulled it out with a bang in the sun, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's groan.

He inserted it back into the sheath and said, "This is for you, and I should wish you further!" ”

Yang Ziqian's expression was solemn for a moment, and he was very skillfully covered up in the past, and he said goodbye and left with great gratitude.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yang Lin was eating some breakfast in the courtyard, and there was a roaring footsteps, and Zhang An, the governor of the River Governance Division, entered the courtyard, saw Yang Lin raised his eyebrows, and hugged his fists and said: "Zhang An has seen Shaozai." ”

"Zhang An, come early enough."

Yang Lin deliberately said the opposite, he came to Youyan, and almost all the officials in the rear came to visit, but this governor of the river with a large official rank did not see a figure.

Zhang An is not an honest person, he heard his dissatisfaction early in the morning, and stepped forward with a smile: "My subordinates have been running around for Shaozai, although they came late, they can really learn from the sun and the moon." ”

Yang Lin sneered and scolded: "How did I hear that you openly questioned the policy of your own official in the disaster area, and when you talked about the excitement, you also scolded a fool?" ”

"This is definitely slander, if you want to destroy the relationship between the lower official and Shaozai, if you say such a despicable villain, it is better for Shaozai to listen less in the future." Zhang Anyi said solemnly, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

At the beginning of the Hebei disaster, the imperial court blindly supported the war, bypassing Hebei and concentrating on transportation from Hedong, while disaster relief was delayed.

In a hurry, Zhang An was a little angry, and said bad things about the giants of the DPRK and China, including Yang Lin, in the earthquake area.

These things were clear to the Governor's Mansion and reported to Yang Lin, who knew Zhang An's character well and laughed at it.

Speaking of it now, it's also a half-joke, and there is no intention to investigate at all.

Like Zhang An, Yang Lin is reluctant to abandon water conservancy talents, and there will be more places to use him in the future.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's say, do you want money to come today, or do you want people to come?" Yang Lin asked while drinking porridge. Standing behind him, Baozhu, Mingzhu, and Ruizhu are holding soup cups, tea cups, and mouthwash.

The six maids of the bead generation, one by one, are wearing goose yellow clothes, delicate and lovely, and Yang Dalang is rich and graceful, which is enviable.

Zhang An smiled and said: "Nothing can escape the fiery eyes of Shaozai, this time in the area from Tianjin Port to Pinglu for disaster relief, Xiaguan found that most of the fertile fields along the way were deserted. In recent years, the weather has been abnormal, and the earthquake has changed the river, causing the embankment to collapse in many places.

In fact, the Hebei area was not the mouth of the Yellow River, but in order to prevent the Khitan from going south, the river water was forcibly led here, which can be said to be a lot of harm to the people. ”

Yang Lin threw his chopsticks and scolded: "The front line is 100,000 urgent, the disaster situation in Hebei is not stable, you want to divert the Yellow River, such a large amount of work, have you considered whether the imperial court can afford it?" ”

Zhang An took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Shaozai, Xia Guan has not only thought about it, but also thought it through. You see, these are all details, the silver taels needed are not much, the imperial court only needs to issue bonds again, and Hebei will have a bumper harvest next year, which is enough to pay off the debt! ”

Yang Lin's expression was a little pale, and he flipped it over casually, and there was porridge in his mouth. Waving his hand, Rui Zhu stepped forward and wiped his mouth, Yang Lin nodded and said: "If it is really as said above, it can still be considered, but now that the service money is so expensive, where can I transfer the people?" ”

"This subordinate has also thought about it, there is no need to recruit people, as long as Shaozai gives us a command flag for the River Governance Division, we can mobilize the box army on the spot, and the labor force will be solved soon?"

Yang Lin looked at his plan carefully, and scolded while reading: "You really don't fight a battle that you are not sure of, and you don't leak my calculations, if you don't promise you today, won't you leave?" ”

Zhang An stepped forward, poured a glass of water diligently, pushed it to Yang Lin, and said with a smile: "This move benefits the people of Hebei and Shandong provinces. On the day of completion, Xia Guan prepared to build a statue for Shaozai at the mouth of the sea, so that the people would always be grateful for Shaozai's kindness. ”

"It's pretty much the same, but this statue needs to be consulted before you do it. I want to pinch my waist with one hand and hold it high with the other to highlight my heroic demeanor. With a smile on my face and clear eyebrows, it shows that I love my people like a son. ”

Zhang An patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Shaozai, the lower officials have already kept it in mind." ”

Yang Lin snorted coldly, ordered to bring the four treasures of the study, and wrote a codex.

Zhang An looked at it with a blank eye, stretched out his hand several times, and took it back in a sneering manner.

"In the future, try not to do this kind of thing at the time of war, okay to save me some snacks?"

"Okay, don't worry, Shaozai!"

"."

In Constantinople, the Liao people thundered with joy, and the sound shook the world.

In the first battle of Yelu Dashi, more than 60 kings, more than 30 city lords, more than 100 noble generals, 120,000 soldiers and horses were captured, and 60,000 were beheaded.

Countless goods and materials were seized, piled up, and all of them were brought into the city.

Yelu Dashi did not have the slightest mercy for these people, and his disgust was difficult to hide.

He ordered the punishment of "shooting ghost arrows" to the kings, lords, and nobles he captured.

"Liao History: Lizhi III": "The teacher is a prisoner on death row, and the teacher is a spy, and the pillar is tied to it, and it is called 'shooting ghost arrows'." ”

Tie sinners to pillars and shoot them to death with random arrows, which is a unique punishment for Khitans.

With the neighing of horses on the side of the road, the "king" nobles and city lords tied to both sides of the road were shot like hedgehogs.

The people of the city, as well as the captured Western soldiers, were all dumbfounded.

In the autumn of the third year of Xuanhe, the territory of Daliao expanded again, and its influence had extended to the European continent.

Yelu Dashi accepted the suggestion of the civil and military courtiers, moved the capital to Constantinople, officially changed its name to "Xingliao City", and changed the name of the country to the first year of Kangguo.

The city is full of elite soldiers, fierce generals like clouds, and treasures are piled up.

A trans-Eurasian empire, in less than three years, has begun to take shape.

The principalities, princes, and city-states of the West trembled in front of his iron horse, and the corpses of hundreds of kings and nobles were thrown into the Aegean Sea.

Yelu Dashi calmed down, no longer impetuous and eager to move eastward, and began to prepare for ten years of life and recovery of national strength.

A generation of heroes has gotten up, but it's even more terrifying...
