Chapter 703: Every nation has its heroes
Cui Hongxu escorted a truckload of supplies from Tianjin Port to Baiyu River.
In today's weather, if people from Bianliang come, it is estimated that they will have to wear cotton clothes and they can't stand it.
But for the Goryeo people, this is already considered warm, and Choi Hong-wook was one of the thirteen gates of Goryeo a year ago, the son of Prime Minister Choi Hong-hee.
In today's Goryeo, the gate valve system is being shaken, and the Korean prince Yang Yang Ziqian has made a drastic rectification of Goryeo, which has touched the interests of the gate valve.
But he has his back to the Great Song Dynasty, and he also has strong strength in his own hands, and no one dared to rebel against him for a while.
Imprisoning the emperor, excluding dissidents, and controlling military power, Yang Ziqian not only changed his surname, but also deeply understood the three flavors of Yang Lin's power.
The prime minister in the past raised his hand and sighed and began to unload.
He was quite burly, wearing a thin red military robe of the Song Army, and I don't know which Song soldier issued a new military uniform gave it to him, looking capable and strong.
The people of Goryeo have solved Youyan's urgent need, and the soldiers of the Great Wall Corps are really good to them.
Cui Hongxu bent down and moved down a bundle of cold armor, not knowing what he thought, and scolded Yang Ziqian in his mouth.
Song Jun, who came from a distance to meet him, asked with a smile: "Big man Cui, are you scolding here again, aren't you afraid of eating whips?" ”
The overseer of Goryeo was a person sent by Yang Ziqian, and his favorite thing was to torture these former gate valve children.
On the contrary, it was Song Jun who had a good relationship with them, because only the children of the gate lords knew Chinese.
Cui Hongxu smiled: "Then how dare I, didn't I curse this ghost weather." The Jurchen Tartars of Huanglong Mansion are simply not human, and I have heard that they can stay in the snow for three days. ”
Speaking of the Tartars, the faces of the people present were clouded, and now they rely on the fortress and the Tartars.
When it comes to field battles outside, they often can't even hold the barrel of a gun, but the Tartar is not very affected.
Not only people, but even their war horses are more cold-resistant than the Song army.
It is no wonder that the imperial court has repeatedly ordered that no further north is allowed before the snow melts, it turns out that it is really far-sighted.
The severe cold in the north is enough for a million troops, also known as General Han. It was because of this terrible cold that Yang Lin ordered the army not to march north before the snow melted.
Jurchen Tartars, when hunting bears in their lair, can lie in the snow for seven days.
And these warriors, the coldest winter they have experienced, is only a dozen degrees below zero, how to fight with the Tartars in winter.
Choi Hong-wook finished unloading the goods and pushed the cart back to the camp of the Goryeo people, and several Goryeo overseers stepped forward with unkind faces.
"The surname is Cui, what did you say to Song Bing?" One of the overseers asked swaggeringly.
Cui Hongxu said coldly: "I said a few words of greeting, but I didn't say anything." ”
With a snap, a whip was whipped on his body, and this time on ordinary people, it is estimated that the skin and flesh are open.
But Cui Hongxu's body is also strong, glared at them, and then turned around and walked towards the people.
"Do you think you are still the son of the prime minister? Your dad has been beheaded! The Goryeo overseer behind him shouted loudly.
Cui Hongxu's eyes were red, he didn't speak, paused and continued to walk forward.
A group of Goryeo folk waited until the overseer was gone before they gathered around.
An elderly man gave him a bowl of porridge and two cooking cakes, stepped forward and said: "Cui Gongzi, the Han people have a saying that when people are under the eaves, they can't help but bow their heads." Now that the Yang family is powerful, it is important to save your life, so if you just say a good word, wouldn't it be like being whipped every day? ”
Cui Hongxu drank the porridge and said, "I also want to, I can't do it." Haha, Lao Li, how come you are a folk husband at your age? ”
"Hehe, I asked someone to hand over the money to come. Come here to be a people's husband, work is not tired, eat well and drink well, there is still a sip of wine every three days, and the monthly money is not small. I plan to earn some money for my second son and marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"In our Goryeo, can't we make money by selling this strength?" Cui Hongxu asked puzzled.
"Goryeo?" The surrounding Goryeo people laughed together, and a thin man put away his smiling face, and said helplessly: "Cui Gongzi, you are from a high family, how do you know the lives of these bitter haha, in Goryeo, even if you are tired to death, you can't make this money." ”
Cui Hongxu still didn't believe it, and the people around him told about their tragic experiences, and ordinary people in Goryeo lived without dignity.
The gate valve and the people are people of two worlds, and it is difficult for each other to understand each other.
Choi Hong-wook slowly learned about the hardships of the Goryeo people, and he was also a special existence among this group of people.
The people of Goryeo have a characteristic, that is, although they are oppressed by the gate valve, they think that the gate valve is indeed superior to them in their bones.
The kind of inferiority complex that comes from the bone marrow makes them not only not make things difficult for Cui Hongxu who is in trouble, but even has some extra care and respect.
And Cui Hongxu is also different from the ordinary Goryeo gate lord, he did not give up on himself because of the difference in living conditions due to falling into the clouds.
"I didn't expect that I, the people of Goryeo, would be in such dire straits! When I came to a foreign country to be a people's husband, I thought it was imposed by the imperial court and used to curry favor with the Song people, but I didn't expect this quota to be so sought-after! ”
Cui Hongxu held the cooking cake with a deep gaze, this simple dry food and rice porridge, in the eyes of his compatriots, is like the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.
"The people of Goryeo are so bitter..."
A thought quietly grew in his heart, if he could overthrow the gate valve and establish a country like the Great Song Dynasty, so that the people of Goryeo could also live a life of abundant food and clothing, it would not be in vain to come to heaven and earth to walk once!
Almost from this day on, Cui Hongxu no longer scolded and scolded all day long, but went deep into the people and mingled with them.
He found out all about the hardships and hardships of the Goryeo people, and the more so, the more heartache he felt.
There may not be a person like this in the gate valve for 100 years, but he really loves Goryeo.
He would also help some of the people, who were tall and strong, had a good relationship with the Song army, and were proficient in Chinese.
Especially the latter two, so that he can help the people a lot of times.
For example, if the overseer was too cruel in his abuse, or if he withheld food, he would stand up, even if he was beaten and bruised, he had to react with Song Jun.
The Song people would often reprimand the overseers, and even punch and kick each other. The entire northern front relied on these people very much, and the Song people really couldn't get out of trouble with them.
The night school and the teaching time have greatly improved the quality of the soldiers.
Over time, Cui Hongxu's prestige among the people has become higher and higher.
He also set up a Chinese language teaching class, and his huge personality charm quickly united a group of people around him, who were loyal to him as if they were faith.

Kaifeng, Bianliang City.
In Zhaode Fang, in Yang Lin's study, Gao Shane and Liu Zhongwu were complaining that there were too few people in Hebei.
As a result of the abolition of forced labor, it was necessary to employ the people, which required a lot of money.
In a disaster year, it would be better to say that cash-for-work is a bit difficult to recruit people in the current budget.
Yang Lin was a little upset, this transportation problem, from the beginning of the war to the present, has been a big problem.
I have already thought of a lot of ways, and even got 100,000 people from Goryeo, but I still shout every day.
Gao Shant stepped forward and said with a smile: "Shaozai, can you let Goryeo come over there..."
Yang Lin himself was a little hesitant, and said weakly: "Can you still afford it?" ”
"As long as you want to make it, you can't make it up."
Yang Lin said suspiciously: "Now is the season of spring planting, and Goryeo is a country of people's farming, if you forcibly transfer people's husbands, it will collapse in the next year." ”
"It's better than the war in our north is collapsing, right?" Liu Zhongwu said this.
Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, tell Yang Ziqian, another 100,000!" ”
"Crowned him Yang Ziqian as the king of the Korean county, and Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo county, at the same level, and then sealed all his sons, the duke of Shangguo, the earl, anyway, the title of Goryeo, to death! and his unmarried daughter, let our official family accept her as a righteous daughter and be named the emperor! ”
Yang Lin is well versed in how to control these ministers of Fanbang, from Zhang Boyu in Jiaozhi, to Yang Ziqian in Goryeo, and Xiao Fengxian in the former Khitan.
These people, if used well, can be worth 100,000 male soldiers...
'No one knows traitors better than I do'...
Yang Lin thought in his heart.

In Qianzhong, the stability that began at the end of the Sui Dynasty was shattered by the army of Fang Qifo.
After turning over the Guanling, the soldiers and horses under Fang Qifo gradually gathered, and the villages swept over one by one.
Because they only kill the Tusi clan, as long as the local people do not resist, they will not attack, so that many local people become the leading party.
Because Yang Lin called the officials of each tribe Tusi in the official document he issued, this name gradually spread, and Qianzhong is one of the places with the most tribes.
The local Han people have become extremely qualified to lead the way, and after so many years, the Central Plains court finally remembered them.
The pure cavalry team of more than 2,000 people stretched out in a long queue, and the banner covered the sky and the sun. Take the capital as the system, and the order is forward. Behind them, the series of precipitous military villages gradually faded away from sight.
Fang Qifo had just conquered Qingzhou, and the blood stains on the blades of the soldiers and horses under his command had not dried, so they went to Juzhou to kill.
To the northwest, the sound of a desolate horn can be faintly heard. Even the smallest stockade will have its leader exterminated if it refuses to surrender.
After Juzhou, go north along the river valley, and you can directly kill Zunyi!
Yang Weicong of Banzhou is still undecided, if he can descend to the best, otherwise he can only destroy Banzhou first, and then fight Sizhou.
Anyway, this time, all hidden dangers must be eliminated in one fell swoop, and it is imperative to change the land and return to the stream.
These Tusi sitting in the well and watching the sky in Qianzhong never expected that the Song army would gather an army of 100,000 people who were better at mountain warfare than them, and they would rush into Qianzhong.
From armaments, armor, weapons, formations and drills, military discipline... No matter which way you look at it, the enemy in front of you and yourself are not products of the same era.
These soldiers and horses of Fang Qifo, with him first conquering Dali, then attacking Tubo, and finally ambushing Jiaozhi, can be said to have experienced a hundred battles.
And these places, without exception, are all mountainous or jungle.
These toasters, at best, are fighting with hundreds of people, and they are seriously inexperienced in battle formations. In the face of such a large war monster, it is simply impossible to resist.
"The branch of the king of Luodian has a noble person, according to the north of Juzhou, Song Taizu paid the money at the beginning, and the local people were precious, and Taizu was the chief of Guizhou because of what he called, and the name of Guizhou was born."
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Pugui, an indigenous leader living in the area of present-day Guiyang, returned to the Northern Song Dynasty with the Juzhou under his control.
Pugui spoke a southern dialect to Zhao Kuangyin to report that he was from Juzhou, because the local language "Ju" and "Gui" homonym, the emperor did not understand, so he wrote in the "Ci Pu Gui Edict": "To the righteous state, Huaxia, barbarian reckless, but Guizhou, far away to the ......", the name of Guizhou continued to appear in the literature, and finally became the title of the province in later generations.
Now this place belongs to the Sichuan and Shu provinces, and before Pugui was annexed, the army of the Song Dynasty had penetrated deep into Banzhou. Won the battle there.
Some generals also suggested taking advantage of the victorious situation at that time to use troops against Juzhou to punish him for not paying tribute. It was only because Zhao Kuangyin was bent on buying people's hearts with "Wende" and unwilling to use force to conquer the people that the outbreak of war was avoided.
These places are too remote, and the roads are difficult to travel, Zhao Kuangyin, who is bent on the northern expedition to Youyan, does not plan to use more troops here.
This delay, where did he think that none of his younger brothers and later Emperor Zhao and Song had their hands free to clean up the southwest rivers and mountains.
Juzhou has such a history, which shows that it is the center of Guizhou, and the Zunyi Army adjacent to it is the old base camp of the Yang clan in Banzhou.
Unlike these toasts, the Banzhou Yang clan has good strength, and his soldiers and horses are good at fighting.
During the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao rose, often invaded the Tang Dynasty, and Banzhou fell to Nanzhao many times.
In the third year of the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Duan, a native of Yangqu County, Taiyuan, led an army to defeat Nanzhao, who occupied Banzhou, and established himself as the main one, becoming a family regime with a hereditary assassination history.
In the third year of Taizu Qiande, Yang Shi dedicated his land to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty placed Banzhou and Zunyi armies in its place respectively, still with Yang as its leader.
In the past few hundred years, the Yang clan has occupied Banzhou, ruled deeply in the hearts of the people, and persuaded farmers to develop the economy, and train the army.
Because the local people are very fierce and with a little training, they are an elite army, so the Yang clan's armament should not be underestimated.
The people of the imperial court have already entered Banzhou, hoping to win this land snake, but Banzhou Yang Weicong is not a good stubble.
His ambition is not small, and he doesn't want to become a lackey of any party, what he wants is to replace the Tian clan and become the only overlord and completely control this place.
Now that the Song army has reached Juzhou, there is not much time left for Yang Weicong, if he can't make a decision yet, Fang Qifo will not stay for even a moment.
The Song army, which had already killed the red-eyed, was bound to attack Banzhou, and when the time came, the Banzhou Yang family would be the biggest chicken, and the Tusi used to warn Qianzhong would be killed.
Juzhou, in a panic, ushered in the Song Army Brigade.
The sound of the horn whimpered, and the Juzhou soldiers and horses, who had no time to escape, looked behind them.
A Great Song Dynasty military horse, silently appearing on the skyline, red helmets, hunting and dancing.
This army horse is the first general, wearing armor, straightening up on the horse's back, holding the horse lance, and resolutely pointing forward.
On the skyline, red helmets flutter. This military horse launched a charge towards the Juzhou soldiers who were fleeing for their lives.
