An Sida nodded: In the past three years, you have exchanged letters with me, and I have been thinking about your words. Indeed, times have changed, and people who used to be mainly agricultural, now have a minority who own the majority of land, but people have not been displaced and there have been no large-scale riots. If I had been told in the past that the world would be like this, I would never have believed it, but now, I see that the people who have lost their land have gone into the workshops

Commerce, which absorbs far more manpower than agriculture, produces greater value than agriculture. And small-scale farmers are far less able to farm than large-scale farms. Therefore, although the land annexation was serious in this era, the grain production was more than in the past, and a large number of landless peasants did not produce large-scale homeless riots like the Huangchao and Yellow Turbans in the Tang Dynasty, which harmed the imperial court.

The times are changing, the wind of change is blowing in every corner, and many theories in the past have been proven wrong, and we must also change, and we must change to be more suitable for this business era. I am willing to ask you about this issue, and I am ready to discuss it with you.

Zhao Xingyi pointed to the mountains and rivers in front of him and replied: You said, starting from Fan Zhongyan, our national consciousness has begun to awaken, and people who read are talking about one word: Huaxia. The culture of the Chinese nation, after thousands of years of evolution, has been created in our Great Song Dynasty. However, my Great Song is always under the threat of Yidi. Now, in this war-torn land, I need a single Song people to monitor it very strictly, even if our earthlings pass, they are also slaves in enemy territory, and they have no chance to move around at all.

But the Tangut people are very tolerant of monks, you still have a little influence in the Western Regions, I don't want you to be exposed in advance, I need you to help me find out the intelligence there Now it seems that only you can go deep into the Western Regions, so I hope you will rebuild, low-key and unassuming.

After a pause, Zhao Xing continued: I said that your new church will give medicine to the people for free, and you need a lot of money, and I can donate 100,000 yuan to you as a believer, but I hope that my name will not be written on the donation list.

Ansida clasped his hands together and solemnly promised: My lord, you are the angel of my Jingjiao rebirth, please rest assured. We will leave the first page of the donation list blank and not write anyone's first name. This page is left to you, and we will thank you forever in our hearts.

Zhao Xing shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter. An Sida then groped out a piece of paper from his side, which recorded his doubts in the past four years, and he began to ask the first question of the piece of paper: My lord, you said that architectural art is also a means of psychological warfare, and grand buildings can make people succumb spiritually, so I don't understand the words that Quanzhou Qingjing Temple can survive forever, is this a prophecy, can you explain it

Zhao Xing smiled: Bishop An, the Great Wall was not built in a day, and the Great Wall in my heart cannot be completed in a day. What is Junzitang anxious about, we are just starting up, since someone will take over this banner but this head must be good, to let it have a self-renewal mechanism, to ensure that it can ensure the longevity of the national heritage, let's talk slowly.

In the following days, people often see such a strange scene: the red-robed high priest An Sida often retired from the crowd with Zhao Xingping, the two walked through the river valley, strolled the mountain beams, and whispered that when An Sida died for a hundred years, the Nestorian Sect, which had taken root in Shaanxi, vaguely published a classic called Wandering Collection. This classic uses a question and answer method to put forward a lot of plans and ideas for the exhibition direction of Nestorian Christianity, and the Nestorian staff did not explain who the author of this book was, but said: Nestorian staff will abide by the proposal in the book and continue to exhibit.

This book raises a lot of questions. People speculated about who it was and asked who it was. The answer to who was then sparked a century-old discussion, and the Nestorian officials remained silent about it.

It was July, autumn, and Liang Zimei arrived in Gyeongju; It took 24 days to build the Dingyuan City of Lanmin Road in Xihe, and the imperial court explicitly rewarded Fan Yu, who participated in the construction of the city. Wang Wenyu, deputy head of the capital. At the same time, Zhao Xing began to deploy manpower to build twin forts in the Baimachuan River Valley, which was completed on the 20th. The completion of these two successive fortification actions. It marks the official start of the Zhangshenlei project, and the rest is a shallow attack.

Zhao Xing's Baimachuan is a reinforced concrete land castle, the main building of the castle is a tower, it is more than 20 meters high, and the castle wall is 700 meters long. The 20-meter-wide podium encloses a small open space. Two perfectly symmetrical towers stand on both sides of the river, one on the left and one on the right, and the fort is still named after Anding Fort, and the people in the fort are filled with war orphans on Huanqing Road.

On the day the castle was built, Zhang urgently sent news: at the beginning of the month, Xixia asked for peace; Five days later, the peace envoy went. Western Xia routinely fought Grass Valley as usual, and this time their main direction of attack was really Huaiwei Fort, and Zhang planned to lead his men and horses to meet it, so he needed Zhao Xing to return to Gyeongju to sit in town.

Fort Wywi is not far from Qingshuiguan in a straight line, but the two places are separated by continuous mountains, and if you want to go to Fort Waiwei from Qingshuiguan, you must retreat along the White Horse River to Huanzhou. Then enter Luochuan from Huanzhou. Travel along Luocheon to Fort Wyway. Zhao Xing had the heart to go directly to Waiweibao to replace Zhang, who was in his sixties. But he thought about it and decided to respect Zhang's meaning and go back to Gyeongju directly.

The long trek had just ended, and Zhao Xing had just walked to Huanzhou, and Cheng Shuang had already hurried to catch up, and whispered: Seventh uncle, there is news from the capital, there is a change in the palace, and it is rumored that the Queen Mother has fainted once, and I am afraid that her life will not be long

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said in response to the question: The wind and rain are coming

The meaning of this sentence is understood by everyone in the venue, in fact, the ministers in the court also understand it, and the ministers who are currently proud have not even attacked them. Xia Ren didn't set foot in Luochuan at all.

Shuai Fan, who had not spoken for a long time, immediately interjected: There is a problem, there is definitely a problem, I heard that the food in Western Xia is not enough this year, they Chen soldiers are on the border, and they have not done it for so long, it must be that the main direction of attack is not in Gyeongju.

Zhao Xing also thought so, and he asked Shuai Fan as if seeking verification: Zilian thought that where would be the main direction of attack of the Xixia people

As long as you ask whether the enemy army is coming from the direction of Shrimp Toad Village or the direction of Helan Yuan, you can judge that it is the Jianing Military Division, because if Yanzhou is the main attack, it is impossible to delay it for so long. And the Jianing Military Division's main attack, their main direction of attack can only be Yanzhou, Shuai Fan picked up a stick, drew a topographic map of the border on the ground, and explained while talking.

The Song people were building castles to resist the attack of the Tangut people, and the Tangut people also built a series of castles on the border accordingly, as the frontier of the invasion. The shrimp and worm village belonged to the Yanzhou Military Division, and Helan originally belonged to the Jianing Military Division, and the two villages happened to be one east and one west, located at the exit of Luochuan.

Zhao Xing's expression moved, and he immediately discussed with Shuai Fan: Can Shuai Judge go to Gyeongju and tell Master Zhang about our analysis, and let the 1,000 Scouts prepare their war horses and hurry to Huaiwei Fort, and I will take 1,000 Scouts over to see the movement first.

Shuai Fan blinked his eyes, and immediately understood what Zhao Xing meant, and immediately replied: A thousand cavalry passed, the number is too many, one of our cavalry needs five logistics personnel, these people are not a big war posture, but also a big war. You might as well bring 500 cavalry over, this point of strength is no more, no less, just right.

Zhao Xing hurriedly agreed: It's better for Zilian to think about it properly, so let's take a thousand walking boys over first, and you will immediately deliver follow-up supplies to Huaiweibao, and when you arrive in Gyeongju, you will select five hundred of the most elite horse army to come over, and you will have one person with two horses. Also, they were equipped with all the weapons in the treasury, and let them keep marching at night, quietly enter the Weibian village, and then wait for my orders.

Shuai Fan said goodbye, and Zhao Xing left Cheng Shuang to deal with the local officials in Huanzhou. With himself a black guard, Tyson, and several retinues. First rushed to Hengshanzhai to meet the Scouts led by Chen Buqun.

The owner of Hengshan Cottage led his relatives to greet Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing didn't have time to greet each other, and asked: How is the material situation, have the materials I asked you to store are ready

The son of the owner of Hengshan Zhai was recommended by Zhao Xing to go to the capital to participate in the martial arts this year, and he was full of gratitude to Zhao Xing. We purchased a pliers and two wire drawing machines in the village. Now there are three bows in the village, more than 500 crossbows, more than 4,000 bows, more than 300 pairs of gold wire chain mail, and more than 1 million arrows, but the apple tree is too small. The villagers couldn't bear to cut more, and there were fewer arrows in the storage area.

It was only at this moment that Zhao Xing deeply realized why wood is also a resource in war games. One million arrows is enough for an army of 5,000 men to fight a war of medium intensity. But if the war lasts more than three days, there will be not enough arrows.

Unfortunately, the forests of Shaanxi have been cut down by the wars over the years, and the biggest consumable arrows of the war are trapped by resource constraints. This can't be solved in the short term, and Zhao Xing has nothing to do. He thought for a moment, and finally relentlessly. said: Open the bill, how many arrows do you have, Lu Fu purchased all the number and I will sign it for you, you go to Master Wan Qi to get the money.

The owner of Hengshan Zhai is overjoyed, and the men, women and children in his village go into battle together, and a large number of materials have been frantically produced in this year, just waiting for this day. He was prepared, and immediately handed over the inventory list. Zhao Xing didn't look at the price, and signed directly.

The Boy Scouts were originally equipped with simple chain mail: a short-sleeved shirt and long culottes. There are also three long and short knives in hand. But he was not equipped with a bow and arrows. This time, Zhao Xing took all the bows and crossbows directly from Hengshanzhai, took half of the arrows, and pulled a thousand scouts to rush to Huaiwei Fort, while the remaining 1,000 scouts stayed in the local area, waiting for Cheng Shuang to come back and take over.

In the mid-autumn of August, the early morning mist had just dispersed from the river valley, and at the end of the mountain road there was a surging tide of silver metal, and more than 1,000 people dressed in a water chain and silver armor marched towards Huaiwei Fort in full armor, and there were several people in white robes mixed with a few people in white robes, their white robes were embroidered with lotus flames in front of them, and crosses were embroidered on the back, which were the chaplains of the Boy Scouts, and also served as military doctors.

The lord of Fort Wyway, who had been passed in advance, dared to take two officers out to greet him, and he excitedly rushed to Zhao Xing again and again: Recruit your lord, I just sent a warning message from Fort Huaiwei, but I didn't expect my lord to come in person, and with such a fully armed army, my lord, I can't thank you, I just want to die.

The strange thing is that the two officers who appeared next to Shi Kang were actually feudal people, with a big beard, a high nose and deep eyes, a slightly curly head, a little white complexion, and brownish eyes. He hugged his fist to Zhao Xing and signed up and said: Luo Xin, the fourth general of the Sprinkle Family Huanqing Road Passing Strategy Division, will see the adult.

This Luo Xin Zhao Xingdao, he is a subordinate clan leader, formerly known as Eqin, when Zhao Xing first arrived at Huanqing Road, the division prepared Ma Cong to lead the third general and the fourth general to the capital to move grain, this guy was received by the official family in the capital, and was given the name Luo Xin.

Luo Xin's posthumous people are also a feudal lord who returned to Shun, he is a party member from Western Xia, his original name was Jun Lingling, and the imperial court let him establish Shunyi City after returning to Shun, and gave him the name Zhu Baozhong. This Zhu Baozhong bowed his hand to Zhao Xing, and his tone was arrogant: Zhu Baozhong, the city lord of our Shunyi City, has seen the appeasement of adults. It's so generous to appease adults, but a good armor is worn on the child, but it's a pity that it's better to share it with me.

Zhao Xing's face sank, and he shouted without looking back: Beat him

:1 The name of Eqin Jun Ling Ling is given a year later than in this book, and the book has changed slightly.

2 The tea and medicine money given by the Song Dynasty was allocated to the Yongxing Army separately, and it is believed in this book that it is jointly owned by the Yongxing Army and Qin Fenglu, which can be regarded as the butterfly effect.
