Chapter 161: Horseshoe Rush (8)

Although it is said that the Shence Army is still only the task of the palace, but on top of the armament are the double copies of the supply, the armor tents accumulated by the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years have already been piled up, and the arrows are running in bundles one by one, as long as you have a handful of strength, you can move, and it doesn't matter how many layers of armor you wear.

At this moment, closely followed by dozens of big cars, everyone looked at each other, such a configuration, so that the soldiers who had been adapted from the previous Changsheng Army were staring straight eyes, and the tattered equipment that was like a son on weekdays was better like a cabbage on the side of the road in the hands of others.

These weapons, are wrapped in straw oil paper, weekdays are very well maintained, since the Song Dynasty, has never forgotten the lessons of the ancestors, vowed to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, the Northern Expedition to the end, and the Song Dynasty kings, life is extremely simple.

This is all because the founding monarch Zhao Kuangyin made a good start, Zhao Kuangyin is not only a generation of founding monarchs, but also an emperor who advocates thrift and leads by example, not only to himself is simple, he is also extremely strict with children's education, every holiday or wife and daughter's day, Zhao Kuangyin just gave his mother and wife a few dollars as holiday gifts, nothing else.

In fact, Song Taizu had money, and the thirty-two treasurys in Kaifeng were full of property at that time, but Zhao Kuangyin did not squander at all, and his life has always been very simple, and the palace where he slept was only hung with green cloth and reed curtains, and the silk fabrics used were not embroidered.

Zhao Kuangyin's third daughter, Princess Yongning, wore a beautiful colorful dress on her 17th birthday, and the girl's love for beauty is basically understandable to everyone, but Zhao Kuangyin reprimanded her: "You grew up in a rich family, and your current status and life are superior enough, you should cherish this happy life, and you can't be in the blessing without knowing the blessing." How can you take the lead in extravagance? Today you have made this start, and how many people are vying to follow suit! ”

In the end, Princess Yongning was asked to put the colorful clothes into the treasury, although Princess Yongqing was aggrieved, but she was ashamed to hear it, and she knelt down to thank her, promising that she would never be extravagant again, and sure enough, Princess Yongning's clothes became plain after that.

is such a king, what he thinks about all day long is to enrich the treasury as much as possible, prepare military funds for the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains Dynasty is extremely consuming of national strength to fight, they are different from ethnic minorities, they go south to consume very few materials, where to fight, where to grab, they are already poor, you can expect the Central Plains court to grab things from them, it is tantamount to whimsy.

Although Song Taizu died young, his style is tantamount to erecting a benchmark for future generations, and it was not until Song Huizong that the example was broken, Zhao Kuangyin era, the entire palace, eunuchs and palace maids added up to less than three hundred, and today's official Zhao Ji, just the concubines add up to more than one hundred.

Not to mention that he greatly promoted the Flower Stone Gang, among which there was a strange stone, which was transported from Jiangnan to Bianjing, it cost 300,000 guan, and among all the strange flowers and stones, in his mind, the stone was generally pointed, and it would cost 8,000 guan to transport it to Bianjing, what kind of level did 8,000 guan equivalent? At that time, it was the living needs of two hundred families for a year, and such strange stones, according to statistics, were transported to Bianliang about 100,000 pieces, not to mention those 300,000 demon-level existences.

Hua Shigang alone spent too much of his ancestors' savings, and even forced the peasants led by Fang La, and the result was just to satisfy his personal artistic preferences.

Even so, but more than 100 years of accumulation of heritage is not small, two Northern Expedition wars, can always be all the tail of the support should be complete, of course, among them, there is the Prime Minister Wang Huang out of a force, the first tent equipment is left by the previous generation of ready-made, but the Northern Expedition of food and military funds is not easy to raise, Wang Huang is out of a bad idea, that is, to increase a Northern Expedition tax, fortunately, at this time the entire Song Dynasty people are considered to be well-off, the national productivity accounts for 80% of the world, The gross national product was ten times that of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Wang Hao reported to the official Zhao Ji that the amount was more than 60 million yuan, and I don't know how much of it went into his private pocket.

The mind of the Shence Army is so simple, everyone eats just this bowl of rice licking blood from the knife edge, and when it comes to the battlefield, they always have to kill a few more enemies, if they are lucky in the future, they can also turn around, and An An will be a farmer, and a little mixed up with the famous hall, maybe they can go to Tokyo Bianliang to walk on it, that place, but I heard that the straight thief is heaven on earth.

But now, without the credit of this head, the dispatch of the queen of the palace, although everyone poured a stomach of bitter water at first, but at this time, there is no longer half a complaint, and the bird eunuch who followed Tong Guan did not have much to do, and the ministers above the Great Song Dynasty really thought too much, and it was inevitable that the fight would be timid, and they would pull their hands and feet, but if they wanted to completely fight the Northern Expedition, they still had to have the courage and determination of the lord, and they had the determination to go despite the tens of millions of people!

I have to say that Yang Ling's performance in Zhuoyi Erzhou is indeed to gather the hearts of this group of fighting men, in the Great Song Dynasty army's now twilight style, Yang Ling is undoubtedly a sword out of the sheath, fighting Han only follow behind him, in order to fight a happy war, at least no matter when, looking back, you can always see the figure of this little Yang general, and only with the forward, forward, the fighting Han admires such a dare to fight temperament.

Yang Ling led the soldiers under his command, has seen Zhuozhou City from a distance, when he left before, there was still a smell of decay here, and after these days of repair, it has been very different from the dilapidated appearance of the day, after the continuous transfer of materials, it is finally able to take a breath, some of the damaged city walls have been repaired, the city guards are layered on top of each other, the sentry posts outside the city are stacked and fierce, and the clothes and armor of the guards at the head of the city are distinct, and it is no longer the dilapidated atmosphere at the beginning.

Not to mention, compared to Xiongzhou, it can better supply the soldiers and horses on the front line, since the oath, the materials that have been piled up in Xiongzhou City have been continuously running here, and the houses and residences in the city are used to hoard military funds, and the soldiers in the city can only sleep in tents, just because this is the lifeline of the Northern Expedition army.
