When Shuozhou City, which had just finished the rotation of rule, ushered in another dawn. Many people who came to the city gate looked at the half of the city that had been set up overnight, and felt very surprised and shocked. I don't understand how this city can be built so quickly.

Yang Jinbao, who also got up early in the morning and rushed to the city gate construction site, looked at the half-completed city wall in front of him, and also felt very incredible. I feel that the speed of these craftsmen to repair the city is really a bit too fast.

Although in order to build this bombed-out city wall, Yang Shipeng asked a lot of young people from the city to help. But Yang Jinbao still thinks that this speed is a bit too fast. Are the walls built so quickly really strong?

Seeing Yang Jinbao, who came to check, the craftsman's head, who also only slept for half a night, also came to the city gate. He smiled and said, "General Yang, it seems that you are still worried that this city wall is not strong. Then you try, the city wall over there hasn't been built up yet! ”

Pointing to a city wall that had not been repaired for the time being, the craftsman confidently asked Yang Jinbao to inspect it. Looking at the solidified cement wall, the craftsman was convinced that it would be difficult for Yang Jinbao to skid this kind of city wall.

Sure enough, when Yang Jinbao used the iron gun in his hand, he tried to attack a wall brick. I found that the wall tiles that only had some so-called cement grout added to them were glued to the next wall tile without moving.

Knowing that this kind of adhesion is enough to ensure the stability of the city wall, Yang Jinbao couldn't help but sigh: "The prince is really a god, with this kind of thing, I am afraid that a city can be built in just a few days!" ”

In this regard, the craftsman also nodded and said: "The general's words are reasonable, if the general has the opportunity to go to Xinnancheng or Qiongzhou to have a look, you will know that the magic of the prince can be seen everywhere." There, it's really overnight. Rise of the city of miracles! ”

Hearing this, Yang Jinbao was also surprised and said, "Craftsman Li, are you from New South City?" ”

Craftsman Li nodded and said, "Yes, I was recruited to Xinnan City by the prince as a homeless person the year before last. Later, the prince was very important, and he took a fancy to my shallow bricklaying skills. was given the identity of a craftsman's head.

This time, I learned that the prince was in need, and my old man was also from the northwest, and he was bullied by Liao dogs before. took the initiative to bring some apprentices, as well as craftsmen from the northwest, to come over to help, hoping to make some contributions to the army. ”

Speaking of the change of identity, Craftsman Li was also very glad that he gritted his teeth and gambled back then. With a family of six, take the naval warships that came to recruit the homeless. Moved from the northwest to live in the New South City.

Except for the hardships of the first days, at least there is no worry about food and clothing. Now that he is in New South City, in addition to being a craftsman, the family's life is also harmonious and beautiful, with endless food and endless new clothes.

Even what he had been worried about not being able to accomplish before, with the annexation of the Li Dynasty, his two sons also married a couple of women from the Li Dynasty. This means: His Li family can be regarded as really doing well.

This time, I learned that Zhao Xiaoxi wanted to recruit a group of craftsmen to help in the northwest. Craftsman Li took the initiative to sign up. In addition to enjoying a lot of wages, craftsmen such as Craftsman Li, who had been bullied by the Liao people, also hoped to do something for the imperial court.

Of course, in the hearts of Craftsman Li, the most important thing is that the recruitment order was issued by Zhao Xiaoxi. Since Zhao Xiaoxi needs help, Craftsman Li and the others feel. Knowing the grace of the report, they should also do something for Zhao Xiaoxi.

What's more, this time back to the northwest, they have military guards to protect them along the way. Even if you don't do anything, you can get a lot of wages a day. If there are casualties on the road. Their families also have a good pension.

This kind of business that can repay Zhao Xiaoxi's kindness and make money, how can these people not come? Like Craftsman Li, there are countless new immigrants who have begun to repay Zhao Xiaoxi's kindness in Xinnancheng.

With the immigration of the Ryukyus, life gradually returned to peace. Many young children of immigrants also joined the new army under the persuasion of their parents and their own initiative to apply.

Whether it is the army or the navy, even if it is the city defense army of New South City, as long as you can join the army as you wish. The military salary they can get in a month is enough to feed the family and learn a lot of skills.

Some pirate veterans who are old and are beginning to be eliminated by the army don't have to worry about having nothing to do. Although they could not join the regular army, they were able to join the larger and larger maritime forces, and earn money for escorting goods.

In short, as long as you are willing to work hard in New South City, you don't have to worry about finding something to do. Even the people of the Li Dynasty who were relocated there felt that it was a true paradise on earth, a place of bliss where they could enjoy true peace.

For the people of the Li Dynasty who migrated to Xinnancheng, Zhao Xiaoxi also scattered them and lived in the newly immigrant villages according to the proportion of immigrants from the Great Song Dynasty. In New South City, Mandarin is the official language.

The first thing Li Dynasty immigrants who could not speak official language did when they arrived there was to learn to speak Chinese. And their children can also enjoy the right to enter the immigration college.

This measure alone made many immigrants from the Li Dynasty who felt worried about the future feel that this was the blessed land for their people. Reading, in today's era, is a right that only nobles and large families can have.

Everything is inferior, only the concept of high reading, this era is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the eyes of these immigrants, even if their lives are a little harder, as long as their children have a good life, it is very rare.

There is hope in the future, and the immigrants can naturally settle down and stay there. Even this place, for the most part, is unfamiliar to them. But the officials here also treat the ordinary people of the Li Dynasty who normally immigrated there.

It is this kind of treatment that is not discriminated against, which makes many people of the Li Dynasty feel it. Knowing that this was the case, they should have taken the initiative to invite the Great Song Dynasty and annex the Li Dynasty as soon as possible. They have also been saved for so many years.

With the continuous replenishment of new immigrants, the work of the Ryukyus in all aspects is also in full swing. New cities have risen, small towns have been built, and groups of immigrants have settled down, and everything seems to be thriving.

It is precisely because of the rapid changes in the two bases of Ryukyu and Qiongzhou that the officials of the six ministries assigned by Zhao Xiaoxi are gradually able to operate normally. Zhao Xiaoxi, the prince, can naturally hide for a while.

Knowing that this battle of Song and Liao is related to the peace of the world, Zhao Xiaoxi will certainly not sit idly by. All winter, I was preparing for this. Whether it is the demolition team or these artisan teams, they have already arrived on the northwest coast.

When Zhao Xu led the army, he began to advance into the Liao border and started the battle to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. These reinforcements who were waiting in the secret camp and Song Jing were also dispatched in batches, helping the army with Zhao Xiaoxi's influence.

Because of the siege of the Song army yesterday, the soldiers and civilians in Shuozhou City had no time to react. The news of the fall of Shuozhou was only learned by the Liao army cities behind after the south gate city wall was rebuilt.

In the face of this almost impossible failure, Yelutu, who was sitting in the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom, also felt very incredible. But at the same time, the guards of Liaoguozhou City around Shuozhou all got an exact news.

That is, in the next siege battle of the Song army, the Song army must not be allowed to dig tunnels. Once the Song army dug the tunnel, then their city walls were waiting to be collapsed. Without the walls, how can the city be defended?

But in the face of the fierce army of the Song Dynasty, the Liao army, which was insufficient, did not dare to go out of the city to fight at all. They all thought about giving the Song army a fatal blow at the end, and then recovering all the lost territory in one go!

But now Shuozhou City has been captured, making their layout a loophole. For this kind of secret weapon, which is said to have been developed by the Song Dynasty, the Liao side also does not know how to prevent it.

Even the rock-solid city wall, the Song army had a way to destroy it. This means that they feel that their biggest dependence is no longer working. Defending the city or going out of the city has become a dilemma.

In fact, in Zhao Xiaoxi's view, the real purpose of dispatching a demolition team to help attack the city was to disrupt the military layout of the Liao State. Only by letting the Liao army follow the rhythm of the Song army can the Song army grasp the initiative in the war.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who had arrived on an island in the Bohai Sea, sat there and commanded the secret troops that were dispatched. Investigate the military arrangements of the Liao State for the imperial army, and also solve some hard bones for the imperial court.

In Zhao Xiaoxi's view, the victory achieved by killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 losses somewhat outweighed the losses. If there is a better way to reduce the losses of the Song army and achieve the goal of capturing the enemy city, why not do it?

Looking at the latest battle report, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that this cousin could still distinguish between right and wrong in the face of Zhao Xu's acquiescence to his help. This is undoubtedly a long sigh of relief for him.

Not long after, he wrote a secret order, giving the order to send reinforcements to the Chinese army battalion to go to battle. Compared with the other two roads he sent, there were more primitive demolition teams, and what was given to Zhao Xu was the real strong army.

In the case that the Liao army had not yet realized that holding on to the city could not stop the offensive of the Song army, Zhao Xiaoxi hoped that his new army could win more victories for the Great Song. That is, it eliminated the living force of the Liao army, and preserved the vitality of the Song army's expeditionary troops.

As for the appearance of these secret forces, it will make Zhao Xu realize the strength that Zhao Xiaoxi has. In Zhao Xiaoxi's view, the meaning is really not much. Artillery is such a thing, except for what he can make, other countries can't imitate it.

Even if it was Zhao Xu, who detained the artillery team he sent, Zhao Xiaoxi believed that he would not be able to imitate it either. And the artillery lost shells, which is also a scrap. The initiative is in his hands, so what is he worried about?

What Zhao Xiaoxi really wants to do now is to let the Liao people understand that the Song army's attack on Liao this time is not a whim like in the past. Since Zhao Xu wants to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, why not fulfill his wish? (To be continued......)
