In fact, how difficult it is to forcibly relocate the people and clear the wilderness, Chu Tianya can know if he thinks about it. For those ordinary people who are engaged in agriculture and business, and the family business and farm that their ancestors have worked hard to manage and save for generations, it is not so easy to say that they must give up. In particular, the 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty have been peaceful, and most of the people in the world live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't know the horror of war.

Chu Tianya had never experienced a war in person, but he learned about the horror of this war from various historical books in later generations. Jingkang Change, Jin State from Yanjing, Yunzhong two-pronged, the East Route Army swept across Hebei and crossed the Yellow River, burning, looting, torture and killing countless people along the way; The Western Route Army went south to take Taiyuan, the first time did not take the city, Taiyuan held on to the lonely city for more than 200 days, the city has long been fasted and starved of food, the bark of the tree has been cut out, and finally it can only be eaten by the son, killing people and eating meat, which is extremely tragic; It wasn't until the Jin soldiers invaded the south for the second time that the Song Dynasty officials and troops were unable to rescue, and Taiyuan was declared to be broken.

In addition, after conquering Tokyo, the Jin State captured the Hui of the Great Song Dynasty and returned north with the two emperors of Qin, and the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo was looted, and the nearby towns and villages were uninhabited for hundreds of miles. Along with the two emperors, there were thousands of royal clans, eunuchs and gentry, as well as no less than 100,000 ordinary people.

It was a journey north that was even more brutal than exile. Everywhere the Jin soldiers went, they all killed and robbed all the women, and all the women were caught as prostitutes in the army. Countless people died on the way, including many royal officials, most of whom were women - the cause of death was very simple, they were violently abused by the Jin people!

It can be said that at the beginning of Jingkang, the Central Plains began a tragic history of blood and tears that is difficult to look back.

Chu Tianya still clearly remembers a historical statistic that he read a long time ago: in about three years of Xuanhe (that is, a few years ago), the economic development of the Great Song Dynasty reached its peak, and the population was the largest in the history of China's feudal dynasty, as many as 93.47 million people; Only half a century later, in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty to the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains was only 8.87 million - a loss of nearly 91 percent!

Out of 100 people, 91 will die in the war - starting with the shame of Jingkang!

Looking back at the city of Taiyuan today, there is still such a glamorous scene of singing and dancing, the prefect Zhang Xiaochun and the Dutong Wang Yu and others are still hesitating about the forced relocation of the people and the clearing of the wilderness, and Chu Tianya's heart is nameless - compared with the slaughter of 91% of the population, the people of several villages temporarily abandoned their farmland and homes to flee, is it a? A group of dead corpses, can they keep their homes?!

Chu Tianya didn't say these words to Wang Xun. But Wang Xun obviously read the murderous aura and anger that was about to erupt from Chu Tianya's eyes and expressions, so he strongly persuaded him not to be impatient.

"Brother Wang, I have my own weight in my heart about these things, you don't have to say more." Chu Tianya was ready to send him away, "You better hurry up and take someone to build a city defense." Remember to dig the moat deeper and wider. ”

"I see." Wang Xun sighed slightly, and then said, "By the way, in the future, you will have to inspect the city for days, and I will get you a horse from my father's stable, so that I can bring it in for my feet!" ”

Two Shengjie soldiers brought in a brown-red tall horse, Wang Xun said: "This is a good horse that my father got from Yanjing when he conquered Hebei, although it is not a peerless horse, nor is it a bantam horse in the Central Plains that can be compared." ”

Chu Tianya took the reins and patted the big horse's cheek, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Wang!" …… Don't bother the two masters, why don't you do me a favor again! ”

"Brother, if you have something, just say it!" Wang Xun said heartily.

Chu Tianya smiled and told him that his armor had been given to Meng De, so now there was no drape.

"Haha! What a trifle! Wang Xun laughed and said, "I'm also a pioneer officer, and now my father is in charge of the Shengjie army again--take pen and ink, I'll write a note, and you will go to the army arsenal to get armor." If you want to take anything yourself, you don't have to be polite! ”

"Thank you!"

When he was young, Wang Xun wrote a note, leaving a lot of leeway in his words, and only said that Chu Tianya "went to the arsenal on the orders of the army to obtain the weapons and armor needed for the military patrol, and they should be fully prepared."

The military patrol shop, that is, the unique institution of the Great Song Dynasty government, is equivalent to the local police station, the military patrol in the shop, usually manages the people's households like a piece of police to mediate civil disputes, and patrols around like a patrol police at night. In Taiyuan City, every dozens of steps or more than 100 steps, there is a military patrol shop, each shop is fixed with three to five people, twelve hours there is no shortage of people on duty in turn, specifically responsible for the security of the city.

Now, even if Chu Tianya has taken over all the military patrol shops in Taiyuan City, there are more than 300 mobile personnel outside the house under his command who are ready to be reprimanded at any time, fully responsible for the security of the city, and later on will be responsible for collecting and managing the grain and grass of the whole city.

Although the department of the military patrol shop is not large, the status is even more low, and it is insignificant in ordinary times. But when it comes to war, it's crucial.

"If you don't have manpower, just tell me, and I'll add more people to you." Wang Xun threw down this sentence, and then left himself to be busy supervising the construction of the city.

He Bo and Xiao Linglong looked around the big horse for a while, and praised the "good horse".

Chu Tianya went out and took a look at the three hundred military patrols. Among them, there are two acquaintances, one is Liu Daoscar, the head catcher of Taiyuan Mansion in the past, and this time he brought a hundred officials to Chu Tianya's command to listen to it; The other person was Jiang Laosan, Wang Xun remembered that he had an old friend with Chu Tianya, and he called him when he recruited people.

Chu Tianya first inquired about some information and learned that these people were now all scattered in various households, or scattered in other military houses. So Chu Tianya asked them all to go back and pack up, and arrange for them to be stationed in one place, so that they could wait for the reprimands at any time. From now on, all the military patrols in the other cities must also give strict orders and act together. The location of the camp was selected in the compound of the palace of Guangyang County, the place where it was burned by a fire.

Later, Chu Tianya was ready to take Liu Daoscar and Jiang Laosan to the arsenal to get the equipment needed to camp and garrison the soldiers. Then he returned to the courtyard and asked Xiao Linglong, "Do you need any weapons or armor?" ”

"No need." Xiao Linglong replied, "I have my own drape, and I have brought it all the way from Liao, and I have never dared to lose it." Now that they are all in the cottage, I have asked the fourth brother to send Ada and Anu to join me, and bring my horses and drapes. ”

"It's very professional!" Chu Tianya smiled, "Then I'll go out and come back immediately." ”

"Young master, you wait." He suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong with Uncle Ho?"

He Bo stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Since you have the power in your hands, you must take care of yourself first." You can do without gold and silver treasures, and you must not lack food in your own cellar. Even if the young master doesn't think about himself or himself, he has to think about these two girls - you don't want to see them starve to the bones, or eat human flesh raw, right? ”

Chu Tianya was stunned, subconsciously looked at Xiao Linglong, who looked like a fairy, nodded, and strode away.

"What did you tell him, old man, why did he look at me so strangely?"

"Oh, seeing that war is about to go, I call him a qiē from Jane; Let him go to the street to buy some things for marriage, and let the two of you get married tonight, and forget the candles in the cave room! - Oh, and Xiao Ai's girl, fill in the room and press the bed together! ”

“……”

Chu Tianya took the hundred servants and two hundred soldiers out of the door, and went straight to the arsenal in the city. On the way, many people saw Chu Tianya swaggering with hundreds of people through the streets and passing through the market, and most of them were shocked - wasn't he still locked up in a prison car to parade through the public a few days ago, why did he turn over and become a big official today?!

When he arrived at the arsenal of the state capital, Chu Tianya showed a note, how dare the little officials guarding the treasury slack off, and hurriedly opened the arsenal, letting Chu Tianya take it at his disposal.

Chu Tianya was not polite, first bought himself a high-quality gold-spine iron armor and a thick and warm battle robe and cloak, chose a precision-cast horse chopping knife for wearing, and picked two boxwood bows, more than ten pots of armor-piercing arrows, and then there were seven or eight kinds of plain wood guns, double-hook guns, ring guns and Taining pen guns, etc., a large bundle - he didn't know how there were so many kinds of guns, and he didn't know which ones to take advantage of, so he picked one of them all and brought them back. Wait until you learn marksmanship, and then pick the weapon you can use.

Then, he asked his military inspectors to report the equipment they needed, and they needed to be equipped now. These military inspectors were not polite, and the high-grade armor, sabers, and various drapes that they could only look at a few more times when they used to drool in the past were all shouted out with their mouths wide open.

Chu Tianya asked the little officials in the arsenal to complete all these equipment, and none of them were missing. But which of the soldiers under his command took what equipment and all of them were registered-if it was lost, the responsibility was heavy!

The little official in charge of the arsenal wanted to tell Chu Tianya that the equipment he was going to leave was all high-quality goods, not to mention ordinary military patrols who were employed by the government, and even the commanders in the forbidden army might not have such a full set of equipment. If you talk about the market price, the sale of these equipment is enough to make Chu Tianya rich. But seeing Chu Tianya enter the arsenal is like a robber entering the village, plus Wang Xun's article, how dare he talk nonsense?

Chu Tianya didn't care how much these equipment were worth, in his opinion, now except for people and food, everything else is floating clouds, and gold, silver and copper coins can neither be used to fight wars, there is a fart! The annual military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty accounts for more than half of the national income, and the many weapons and equipment that have been saved are not used now, but they are waiting for the Jurchens to break the city and snatch it, and then use it to arm the Jurchen army and deal with us Song people?

Therefore, Chu Tianya was ruthless and wantonly looted in the arsenal. An hour or two later, Chu Tianya came out of the arsenal with these three hundred people, all of them had a new look, and the shotguns had been replaced-the servants and pawns who had previously worn soap-clothed official uniforms and cloth armor had all changed into high-grade iron armor and brand-new battle robes, and their waist swords were draped and spears were held, and their majestic momentum had increased a little. Wearing those bright clothes and armor, I don't know how many pairs of eyes I have spent on the streets of Taiyuan.

The group arrived at the palace of Guangyang County.

Tong Guan was dead, and the main house had been burned to ashes, so Chu Tianya asked Liu Daoscar and Jiang Laosan to take people to clean up this place and pull up the barracks where the military patrols were stationed. At first, there were people from the Shengjie Army who wanted to come forward to stop it, but when they saw that it was Chu Tianya who led someone to do it, they all flashed in discoloration, and they didn't dare to put one more fart.

Now, the people in Taiyuan City may not know it, but it has long been spread in the Shengjie army: the small military envoy Chu Tianya has joined forces with the Shengjie army and the people and horses of Xishan and Taihang, wanting to do great things. Although the people in the army still don't know what Chu Tianya's identity is, they all know that he has two strong bandits behind him, Xishan and Taihang, as big backers, and even Wang Yu, who has recently taken charge of the military, obeys him and relies on him; And it is reported that Liu Yanqing, the deputy commander who offended him before, has inexplicably "evaporated from the world", and most of it has been broken in his hands!

Such a character is no longer restricted by military orders and laws, and is beyond the rules and unspoken rules, who dares to offend?

Just when the army was busy building the barracks, Chu Tianya took all his savings and openly distributed them to the three hundred people, saying to them, this is my private gift to my brothers. In the future, you will all follow me and work hard, and you will not be treated badly!

Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Especially nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty is "centered on economic construction", so no one loves money, and the value of "looking at money" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The 300 military patrols cheered and cheered -- "May only the Taibao horse be the first to look forward to it, and swear to die with him!" ”

Chu Tianya's heart was a little funny, and he said that these gold and silver treasures would be worthless in a short time; Since it can't fill the stomach, it's no different from a stone.

Expired do not use, invalid!
