Under the watchful eyes of all people, Yang Qi rode his horse to the city wall, he jumped off the horse, stroked the cold bluestone on the wall, but his heart was hot.
Chen Yao couldn't guess what Yang Qi was thinking, and when he saw Yang Qi stroking the big bluestone on the wall, he hurriedly explained: "These big bluestone bricks are all mined from the mountains by the people with a hammer, and there is absolutely no cutting corners." β
When he was about to leave, he added, "The subordinates and General Yanping are staring at it, no one dares." β
Yang Qi is very similar to sighing, it is really a miracle in the history of architecture.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
He turned his head to look at the ragged people who were in charge of building the city, and he didn't think the city was a miracle.
These are all piled up by 400,000 people with one hand, without the slightest element of miracles.
Yang Qi was also unwilling to use the word miracle to erase the merits of the people.
When Yang Qi ascended to the top of the city, he saw a tall city gate tower towering over the city gate.
Yang Yanping, with a group of old men who resembled foremen, was waiting for him.
Yang Qi hugged his fists at them and said solemnly, "Thank you for your hard work." β
These old men waved their hands again and again, and said, "No hard work, no hard work......
Yang Yanping stepped forward with a smile and said, "Don't say these polite words, the people don't like it." You really have to think that they are hard, and when you rule this place in the future, you should be kind to them. β
Yang Qi smiled bitterly: "I have already reduced the taxes of Fengzhou and Shengzhou for five years in one go. If it continues to be reduced, Kou Zhun will have to resign. I don't have many civil officials in my hands, and at present, I only have Kou Zhun as a pillar, so I can't let it go. β
Yang Yanping knew a little bit about Kou Zhun's temperament, and he also knew that Kou Zhun was a person that Yang Qi valued, so Yang Yanping didn't feel strange at all when he heard Yang Qi say this.
Yang Yanping said with a smile: "I already know that you have reduced their taxes for five years, and I also know that there is no way to back down on taxes." The people will not ask you to pay taxes again.
However, recently, many people have found me, saying that they are willing to stay in Chenjiakou to live.
I've heard that you've got some kind of Reclamation Corps, so they want to join in. β
Yang Qi was stunned and said, "This matter is easy to do, and I will hand over all the specific matters to Chen Yao." In this way, in the future, a garrison will definitely be built here, and nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses should be stationed here. Therefore, with the Guancheng of Chenjiakou as the boundary, to the west, within ten miles, all of them are used for military training.
The large area of wasteland and pasture ten miles away was all allocated to the Reclamation Corps. Their families can be allowed to build their own villages there. β
The old men who followed behind Yang Da heard Yang Qi's words and looked excited.
Yang Da turned around and asked them with a smile, "How is it, are you satisfied?" β
The old men nodded excitedly and said, "Satisfied!" Satisfied! β
The two brothers, Yang Qi and Yang Da, looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Yang laughed and said: "The trivial things have been understood, you should do the right thing, today this pass is completed, you need to give it a name." β
Yang Qi pondered: "What do you think of Chen Jiaguan?" β
Yang Da was stunned, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he shook his head in a low voice: "It's not proper!" The reason why Chenjiakou is called Chenjiakou is because the Chen family originally lived here. However, since Shi Jingjiao dedicated this place to the Liao people, the Liao people killed the Chen family in order to rule this place conveniently.
When it comes to the Chen family, it always makes people feel a little sad inexplicably, so let's change the name. β
Yang Qi was stunned, nodded solemnly, and said, "Then it's called Fuxing Pass." This place is the starting point of the revival of the sixteen states of Yanyun. β
Yang Da's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Very good." β
Yang Da had already prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Yang Qi lifted the pen and wrote the three big characters of Fuxing Guan on the rice paper, and wrote the four small characters of Yang Yansi's inscription on the lower right foot.
The two pairs of masters and apprentices who had already been prepared on the city gate tower, one of which was specially responsible for carving, after reading Yang Qi's handwriting, had them hang them on the edge of the city wall with baskets.
On the edge of the city wall, slightly upward, there is a special white space.
The master and apprentice began to carve quickly.
Similarly, another pair of master and apprentice also began to carve Yin inscriptions on a plaque that had already been prepared.
Yang Qi's words were engraved on the Chengguan and the plaque by the two pairs of masters and apprentices.
The engraving lasted for an hour.
When the two pairs of master and apprentice carving were completed, the time just reached noon.
Massive amounts of bamboo were thrown into the fire, crackling with firecrackers.
Yang Qi lifted the red cloth that covered the plaque.
The three words of Fuxingguan are plated with a layer of gold lacquer and sparkle in the sun.
The crowd erupted in a frenzied cheer.
The people of the Han people always have a dependence on the heavy city wall in their hearts.
A tall city wall separating Shengzhou from Liao.
It made them feel safe from the bottom of their hearts.
And when Yang Qi waved his hand and dispatched the 20,000 revival foot soldiers in the station to the city, the people felt even more secure.
The revival foot soldiers have barely had the shadow of soldiers, and they have also experienced the fight between Toyosu and Ye Qiganbo.
Their guts don't need to be trained anymore.
The training of the remaining tactics and formations is far from being something that can be completed overnight.
After Yang Qi transferred the revival foot soldiers to the city, he asked Yang Da for all of them.
Yang Da was taught by Lao Yang, and he was very good at the tactics of defending the city.
He can also grind a revival pawn in battle.
The walls were built thick and wide, and the aisles on the walls were two widths.
Therefore, Yang Da trained the revival foot soldiers on the city wall, and it was fully displayed.
The construction of the city wall was completed, but neither Yang Qi nor Yang Da had any intention of dismissing the 400,000 people.
Anyway, Yang Qi grabbed a lot of money, and he could completely support them.
Yang Da and Yang Qi divided the people into two parts.
One part was responsible for continuing the construction of the walls.
In Yang Qi and Yang Da's plan, the future Fuxing Pass is a Guancheng with 50,000 soldiers.
Therefore, it is impossible to have only one wall.
The other part of the people began to help get into a state of readiness.
Some people were sent to the weapons workshop, some people set up a cotton armor making workshop, and some people led the people and horses to help the army at the head of the city to prepare rolling wood, stones and other weapons to defend the city, and even carefully sent them to the city to hoard.
What surprised Yang Qi was that there were so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people.
During this division of labor, I found a lot of craftsmen.
There are those who can make strong bows, there are those who can make bows and crossbows, and there are those who can craft weapons...... There are even armor that can be crafted into a variety of armor.
Yang Qi almost did not hesitate to open several workshops in a row.
In order to win the war against the Liao State, Yang Qi did not hesitate to pile up all the money he had robbed.
Of course, Yang Qi also has his own wishful thinking.
There was no way he would allow his subordinates to use the same equipment.
The equipment of his subordinates will only get better and better.
In the same way, Yang Qi would not throw away the eliminated equipment, and he had even thought of a place to go for these equipment.
Yang Qi was now racing against time to prepare for all the things of the battle, and he didn't think about anything else.
However, he didn't have time to think about anything else, but that didn't mean that nothing came to him.
When Yang Qi was about to move his line to the basket of Fuxing Guancheng, he was blocked by a group of people at the door of the barracks.
All the women blocked the entrance of the barracks, all of them were very beautiful, which was very eye-catching.
After training all day in the camp, the soldiers, who had long been insane, began to cry wolf after seeing this group of women appear.
When Yang Qi saw this group of women, he guessed their identities.
Cao Lin's re-established volcano guard.
Yang Qi couldn't understand why Cao Lin preferred to use women as spies so much.
The leader is a woman in red with a beautiful appearance but a frosty face.
She is under Cao Lin's command and is codenamed Jia Er.
After Jia Er saw Yang Qi, he ordered someone to throw Hou Renbao in front of Yang Qi.
She said in a stiff tone: "The housewife said that this person bullied her and the newly awakened girl, let you do it yourself." β
Yang Qi looked at Hou Renbao, who was beaten into a pig's head, and frowned: "Who is this?" How did you get beaten so badly? β
Jia Er didn't reply, but asked people to throw the rest of the bound people in front of Yang Qi, and then strode away.
Yang Qi stared at the new volcano guard who left in style.
Suddenly, I felt the urge to press down Cao Lin's spanking.
He really wanted to catch Cao Lin in front of him and ask Cao Lin who was the head of the family.
Still, he just thinks about it.
The priority is to figure out who this guy who was beaten into a pig's head is.
Since this person offended Cao Lin, Cao Lin did not execute him, but sent him to his side.
That means that this person's identity is not ordinary.
Cao Lin couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she sent it to him to deal with it.
Yang Qi squatted down and took off a stinky mass stuffed in Hou Renbao's mouth.
Before Yang Qi could ask, he heard Hou Renbao shouting in a hissing voice: "Yang Yansi, you are dead." and Cao Lin's little slut, who is also dead. Your Yang family is also dead. If you dare to beat your official and try to murder your official, you are all dead. All of you in the Yang family are going to die. β
Yang Qi's face darkened, staring at him expressionlessly, and asked, "Lao Tzu is not dead, you don't count." First of all, tell me who you are, what identity do you have, and everyone in my Yang family can die? β
Hou Renbao shouted: "This official is sent by order, Hou Renbao." β
"Hou Renbao?!"
Hearing this name, Yang Qi's eyebrows raised, and he approached Hou Renbao with a smile, carefully examined Hou Renbao's cheek, and said, "Is it really your straw bag?" β
Hou Renbao shouted: "Yang Yansi, if you insult this official, the crime will be increased by one degree." β
"Smack!"
Yang Qi gave Hou Renbao a big mouth and sneered: "Didn't you just say that Lao Tzu's family had to die, so would Lao Tzu still be afraid of a crime and a higher degree?" β
Yang Qida hated Hou Renbao from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since he witnessed this guy throw 100,000 forbidden troops into Jiaozhi and run away, Yang Qi couldn't wait to slaughter this guy with his own hands.
In Yang Qi's opinion, this kind of person should be executed by Ling Chi.
The court still appoints such people as ministers, which is simply blind.
Therefore, Yang Qi was not polite to Hou Renbao at all.
Yang Qi grabbed Hou Renbao's ears and warned him coldly, "You'd better be honest with Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you." β
Hou Renbao is also a master who does not cry when he sees the coffin.
He was not afraid of Yang Qi's threat at all, "If you dare to kill this official, your family will have to be buried together." β
"Smack!"
Yang Qi rewarded Hou Renbao with a big mouth again, and sneered: "You are also worthy of saying this?" Are you also an official? If Lao Tzu guessed correctly, the imperial court sent you, you should have discovered what I did in Linzhou, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou. So you want to recruit me...... No, no, no, to be precise, they want to give me a knighthood casually. Then pick the peaches from my hands and pick the three states of Linzhou.
Am I right? β
Hou Renbao scolded: "What if you guess right? Even if you want to join the imperial court, this official will not let you do it. Yang Yansi, you dog thief, harbor evil intentions, tear the soil and seal the territory, and intend to rebel, everyone will be punished. This official will not give you the slightest chance of a dog thief. β
"Smack!"
Yang Qi continued to slap Hou Renbao and sneered: "Say you're stupid, you're still really stupid." Lao Tzu now holds the three states of Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Daizhou, and Lao Tzu and the Zhe family have formed an alliance. The Zhe family holds Fuzhou and Linzhou, as well as the land of the five counties of Yinzhou.
The two of us can gather 200,000 soldiers and horses at any time to compete with the imperial court. Do you think that the imperial court sent you to Shengzhou in this situation to show off its might?
The court wanted to appease me and win me over. But here you pretend to be a big-tailed wolf for me.
Do you really think of yourself as a character? Even if Lao Tzu kills you today, the court will not say a word to Lao Tzu. β
Hou Renbao exclaimed: "Impossible, you are a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished." β
Yang Qi sneered: "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, Lao Tzu will send two people to send a letter to the imperial court, just say that you Hou Renbao is disrespectful to Lao Tzu and has been cut down by Lao Tzu." β
Yang Qi blocked Hou Renbao's mouth with that dirty mass again.
Then he selected two of the captured gold-armored guards and went to deliver a letter to Zhao Guangyi.
Yang Qi said to the two golden-armored guards with a big grin: "You will go and tell Your Majesty that my Yang family will not rebel against the Great Song Dynasty." However, His Majesty's promise to my father to listen to the tune and not to listen to the announcement has never been fulfilled. Now my Yang family can only get it back by their own ability.
As for the future generations, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou, they are still the land of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that it will all be under the control of our Yang family in the future.
Anyway, I took this Shengshu and Toyoshu by myself. I'm in charge of it, and no one can fault it.
After paying the tax money every year, and deducting the food and drink expenses of 50,000 soldiers and horses in each state, I will also send the full amount to Bianjing City to Your Majesty. β
