At the end of March, the warmed earth was already green, and next to the crops that had been picked up, there were farmers sent by Shanglin Yuan to various villages.

Most of them are experienced cultivators, and the farmer who stood on the field put his hand into the land that had been cultivated in the past year, and felt the warmth of his fingertips.

Only then did he stand up and say to the villagers: "Take out the keel waterwheel, you can divert water from the Jianyang Canal and prepare for sowing!" ”

These anxious peasants, if they had not submitted to the authority of the peasant officials, would have been waiting for the land to be warm and wanted to sow seeds, and it was really uncomfortable to endure the taste of seeing their fertile land but not being able to cultivate!

When he heard the words of exhorting the peasants to open a canal to divert water for sowing, he immediately cheered excitedly.

"Finally ready to sow miles!"

A villager Li Zheng commanded the young men in the township to move out and hide the big guy who had been hiding for a winter-[keel waterwheel], and said loudly: "Folks, go to the ground!" ”

As a result, on the two million acres of land in Shanglinyuan, tens of thousands of Wuyang Army's reclamation troops, civilians, and subordinates are either sowing their own fields or sowing the "official fields" of the government.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and with the arrival of several spring rains, Shanglin Yuan, which was pale for a winter, has become green.

On the other hand, on the other side of the river, although it is also green, it is weeds and wild artemisia that have emerged in spring, and it looks lifeless compared to the greenery on the side of Shanglinyuan.

As for the farmers in Shanglinyuan, after sowing seeds, they go to the fields every day to watch their crops change every day, as if they can grow a section every day.

Because of the importance that the imperial court attaches to the agricultural persuasion order this year, these agricultural officials do not dare to slack off, because most of them are fellow villagers, so these experienced agricultural officials also go to the fields every day, and the quarrels caused by the distribution of irrigation water in the Jianyang Canal have come and gone.

However, everything is in the orderly rules, a heavy rain in May, it rained for three days and three nights, big and small, but it has not been cut off, and the Jianyang Canal, which caused quarrels in the neighboring towns in the past, no longer quarrels with people for water, but invariably opened the canal to release water.

The peasants looked at this [Thorny Yang Canal] that they had spent a lot of effort digging in the winter, and they also sighed, "It's still the scholars of Shangshu Mansion who can see far away, if there is no Thorny Yang Canal, I'm afraid this heavy rain will soak the crops!" ”

After the heavy rain, it was a few days of high sunshine, and the crops in the fields grew gratifyingly, more than a foot high, and the farmers were persuaded to breathe a sigh of relief, and if this trend continued, there was no need to worry about a good harvest.

Although Shanglin Yuan is vibrant, the outside world has caused a huge wave.

Jing State [Shouwang Army] besieged Xiangcheng, the capital of Deng State, in mid-May, digging and flooding the city, flooding 60,000 people of Deng State, Xiangcheng was broken, and the Deng royal family was slaughtered!

It didn't take long for this news to come again, saying that the [Northern King Army] of Jing State had conquered Suiguo, and planned to cross Yunmengze and send troops to the southern border of Wuguo!

However, the third news was a little better, but it was not much better, Guan Ning, the general of the Xinye Army, dug up the water and defended it, and attacked half-crossing, thwarting the vanguard of the Shouwang army.

Lin Yuyan got the news that it was a temporary military camp not far from the foundry, which was the camp of the [Scout Camp].

Looking at these scouts who were quietly moving in the bushes and muddy water of the site, Lin Yuyan also signaled to let Chu Luan, the centurion of the scout camp, gather the scouts.

Chu Luan whistled, like a bird in the mountain, and those scouts came to gather in front of Lin Yuyan.

During this time, Lin Yuyan used the training intensity of the warriors to train them, and even Lin Yuyan's Zongwei also used them as sparring partners for these scouts to train their fighting style.

These scouts have a good foundation, and in just two months of intensive training, although the progress is limited, they have made great progress in how to hide and snipe the enemy in the jungle, which is also what Lin Yuyan values the most.

"Chu Luan, next is the first mission of your scout battalion!"

Chu Luan clenched his fists and said: "Although Your Highness orders, we will definitely do our best!" ”

Lin Yuyan glanced at the scout camp of the hundred people, and said, "Spread the things you have thought about here into the Wuyang Army, and provoke the Wuyang soldiers' feelings of asking for war!" ”

Chu Luan and his scout battalion responded: "Oh! ”

Lin Yuyan looked at these soldiers and said slowly: "Remember, you are not instigating them to die, but to inspire them to fulfill their responsibilities as soldiers, they have to use their own swords to protect the Wu Kingdom, protect the Shanglin Yuan, because their homes, their parents, their wives and children are all in the Wu Kingdom, if they don't pick up the sword, don't pick up the spear to slash the enemy, their homes will be occupied by the enemy, and their relatives will become slaves of the enemy, are you willing to do this?" Answer me! ”

The scout battalion guards replied, "No! ”

"Before the autumn harvest, I want all the soldiers in Wuyang to have the heart to fight to the death, can you do it?!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, now return to the various barracks of your Wuyang Army, fulfill your mission, you will be heroes, you will be the sharp blade of the country, insert into the chest of the enemy, and defend the homeland of your relatives!"

"Whoa!"

Lin Yuyan waved his hand and let these scouts return to the military camp of the Wuyang Army.

Jing Yi saw that his Royal Highness had been standing in place for a long time, and he also stepped forward to remind: "Your Highness......"

Lin Yuyan heard the sound, opened his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Jing Yi: "Huh? ”

Jing Yi said: "Your Highness has been standing here for a stick of incense......"

Lin Yuyan reacted at this time, he had indeed stood here for a long time, but in an instant, he told Jing Yi the truth: "Jing Yi, when I was still in the palace, I always thought that I could lead the troops to fight the enemy of the martial country, and my heart surged when I thought of it, but today has come, and I am a little ...... I can't open my legs. ”

When Jing Yi heard this, he was surprised: "Your Highness wants to go to the southern border in person? ”

Lin Yuyan remembered that he had never said to others that he would personally go to the southern border, so he nodded towards Jing Yi and said, "The national crisis is at hand, and there are very few people available to the imperial court, so I plan to ask for war." ”

Jing Yi reminded: "Your Highness is only seventeen years old this year, and there has never been a commander of the army at such an age in the history of the Martial Kingdom!" ”

Lin Yuyan replied: "When I quelled the thorny yang bandits, I was only sixteen years old......

"This ......" Jing Yi was speechless, judging from the fact that his son-in-law quelled the troubles of the Thorn Yang bandits, even the generals in the border army who can fight well may not be able to achieve the step of His Royal Highness.

Jing Yi knew that His Royal Highness had made up his mind, so he also hugged his fists and said: "Jing Yi is willing to lead the sect guards to serve His Highness in person!" ”

"Good!" Lin Yuyan nodded and said: "Jing Yi, you are the martial arts of the twenty-second year of the Zongfu who cut the golden flag, Ji Wu and Chun Yuqi are also the ones who cut the silver flag and the bronze flag, and the rest of the sect guards are also the best among the warriors, and they should gallop on the battlefield!" ”

"Oh," Jing Yi responded to Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan turned his head and looked in the direction of Wancheng and said: "It's time to go back to Wancheng, the news of Deng Guo's break, presumably relying on a few checkpoints can't be hidden, the matter of Shanglin Yuan has come to an end, with Han Zi and Fang De, there is nothing big about it, the next thing is to go back to Wancheng and wait for the news of the imperial court's army......"
