The Eighth Prince didn't expect Yang Peng's attitude towards them to be so good. Seeing that Yang Peng was not very old, but his heart was still broad-minded enough, the eighth prince said, "May I ask sir, how old are you this year, where are you from," Yang Peng said to the eighth prince, "I don't know the specifics, about nineteen years old, right?" I don't know where the people are, I was in the mass grave of the iron mine, and it was the master who saved me. He also taught me all the skills, and my family should also be a rich man, at most it will not be very bad, because my talent is okay, at least our family is also a craftsman, because I know how to make iron, how to make farming tools for the common people, oh. I will also burn green bricks, and finally forget to print water, I didn't think of burning red bricks, which is the bricks of the houses where the common people live now, and the price is fair and burns fast, haha. ”

"The master taught me martial arts, marching and fighting wars, military strategies, and being good to the people and doing more good deeds, so that we have our Tianjing New City." Lin Qing'er said to She Lao Taijun, "Don't listen to his nonsense, how can it be weird, sister, you also know that I have a few catties and a few taels, and I have such a great ability," Kou Zhun said, "Mr. taught me how to break the game," in fact, it is not difficult, it is easy to say, that is, no matter how many roads he has, the others will stick to it, don't go out of the city to fight, we just need to attack all the way, and finally surround the point to send reinforcements, it is better to break his fingers than to break his fingers and make him feel painful.

The eighth prince said, "Wonderful, wonderful, if they attack the city, they will have a lot of casualties, and finally come to the rescue, we will set up an ambush, and the crisis can be solved," what if the Empress Dowager Xiao disagrees with the hunting matter? The eighth prince said. Yang Peng said, "Then she agrees, if he says what he says, if that's the case, it's to lead others by the nose, this is a taboo for soldiers, and it is a truth that a small soldier knows, if they don't agree, then I will take Yingzhou first, and see if Empress Dowager Xiao's reaction, if there is no reaction, then I am in those Mozhou, straight to Youzhou, see if they want Youzhou." ”

"You Yingzhou, you have to pay a lot of price, Yingzhou is a big city after all, I'm afraid it's not that easy." The eighth prince said. Yang Peng said, "Soldiers, sophistry, I took out 6,000 people to fight Mozhou, 4,000 people set up ambushes, Mozhou Khitan army is less than 1,000 people, the army of Youzhou and Yingzhou must come to the rescue, Yingzhou has an army of 2,000 people, rescue Mozhou is at least 1,500 people, then Yingzhou still has 500 people, not enough for my opponent in Yingzhou Jinyiwei, taking Yingzhou will not exceed 100 casualties, there are generals like you who fight face to face, in the charge, such a mortality rate is very high. This time, we sent troops to Youzhou Iron Mine, and two people died. Rescued more than 700 laborers and earned back more than 1 million taels of silver, this is the war, if you don't make money in the war, what will you fight, then you won't pay for death. ”

"Haha, Lin Qing'er, you are really a good apprentice of the church, a master who does not suffer losses, and you have to make money in wars, this is the first time I have heard of it, and I have never heard of it since ancient times, no wonder such a large city was built in two years, it is all money earned from wars, it's not simple!" Yang Peng said, "We started from nine people to the last hundred people in a year, and we earned back more than two million taels of silver in the war, and in the end it was my junior sister who was on the top of the bag, and the Khitan people wanted my junior sister everywhere, and the Khitan people didn't know about our existence for a year, that is, after I built Tianjing New City, they only knew about our existence in Cangzhou." By this time they couldn't beat us. If you want to fight us, you can't take our new city without 300,000 troops, if the Khitans don't have 300,000 troops, he will still defend the sixteen states of Yanyun, haha. This is the art of war. Those Confucianism is useless, literature can't govern the country, military can't march and fight, can only cultivate sentiment, and the caller also, you look at how serious the Great Song Dynasty is now emphasizing literature and light martial arts, and Xuanran Song Taizu is not right, so he can't accumulate disadvantages as before, and fight the generals, this is his own digging a pit for future generations. ”

Kou Zhun said, "Since ancient times, they have all been scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, and scholars are the first gentlemen, don't you say?" Yang Peng said. Do you look down on craftsmen, or are craftsmen lower than you who read? "Shinong industry and commerce have been settled since ancient times, and the city lord should read more." Wang Qinruo said disdainfully.

"Then I would like to ask Lord Wang about who first mentioned Shinong Industry and Commerce?" Yang Peng's heart blossomed, and he finally found a breakthrough point. Seeing him like this, Yang Peng sneered and said, "Since Lord Wang doesn't dare to say it, or is embarrassed to say it, why don't I help Lord Wang say it?" Without waiting for Wang Qinruo to speak, Yang Peng continued, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the name of the Qi State Guan Zhong once said, the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce, and the people of the country!" Lord Wang, have I ever said something wrong? ”

Hearing Yang Peng's words, Wang Qinruo instinctively felt that something was wrong, but at this moment he could only nod his head in approval. But what Yang Peng wanted was to stimulate these guys, let them stand on the opposite side of him, where would he let go, and then continued: "But among the four people of Shinong and Industry that the minister said, none of them are scholars!" "Isn't that a taxi?" At this time, the best old lady She raised doubts again.

Yang Peng smiled at him and said, "Mrs. She doesn't know anything, the Shi Nong Industry and Commerce mentioned in the past few years refers to soldiers, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants, but there are no scholars. "All, the scholar shamelessly called the soldier a soldier a soldier in order to save face. That is, it began to be changed from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his group of literati, because they wanted to improve the treatment of scholars, and there was no harm in reading, at least it was sensible and reasonable. But you can't ruin other doctrines, the existence of Mohist, Taoist, and Legalist has a certain reason, and our Tianjing Xincheng Law is to rely on Legalism to formulate it for us, and weapons are to rely on Mojia to help us. Martial arts, fighting wars is to rely on Taoism to guide, and poetry and poetry are to rely on Confucianism.

The eighth prince said, "There is such a saying, why don't I know this," Yang Peng said. "Lord Kou is full of poetry and books, a rare genius in a hundred years, Lord Kou can also explain it to the Eighth Prince." Kou Zhun said, "Mr. is right, Shinong Industry and Commerce is what the minister said, at that time, there was no Confucius doctrine in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and scholars should be soldiers, which must be true, and only in the Han Dynasty did a scholar say that a scholar was a student." There's certainly nothing wrong with that. ”

The eighth prince said, "Then Mr. Yang can also write poems, so how about making a poem for Mrs. She?" Yang Peng stood up, looked at Mrs. She, and said, "Please Master Kou write for me, I think about it, there is." "Breaking the Array, Giving Strong Words to Old Taijun She to Send It", Yang Peng stood up and said, "Drunk and looking at the sword, dreaming of blowing the horn and the battalion." Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens! ”

After Yang Peng finished speaking, he saluted to Mrs. She and said. "Old Taijun, are you satisfied," She Lao Taijun stood up and said, "It's so satisfied, Master Kou, can you write it for the old body, and you can leave a nostalgic thought, haha"

After Kou Zhun wrote it, he also gave it to Mrs. She. She Lao Taijun looked at the poem that Yang Peng made for him with a look in her eyes. I was so excited that this is a portrayal of a general, no matter which general.

The eighth prince said, "This poem speaks to the heart of the general, this time I want to invite the old lady to come forward, come to meet the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom, Mr. Yang, can you make a poem for the old lady," Yang Peng stood up and said to the soldier in the lobby slowly aisle, "Bring a glass of wine," Yang Bamei waved at the soldier, and gave Yang Peng a glass of wine. Yang Peng took one bite and took it all. said to Kou Zhun, "Please also ask Master Kou to write, thank you." "Eternal Joy - Jingkou New City Beiguting Nostalgia"

Through the ages, heroes have no way to find Sun Zhong. Dance Pavilion Song Stage, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind. The slanting sun grass and trees, ordinary alleys. Humane slaves once lived. Thinking back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger.

Yuan Jia was hastily, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the Canghuang Beigu. Forty-three years, I still remember it, and I still remember the beacon fire Youzhou Road. can look back, under the Buddha shrine, a crow shrine drum. Who asks: Lian Po is old, can he still eat?

The eighth prince shouted, "Good words, say what is in the heart of Mrs. She, Mrs. She, Mrs. She, Lian Po is old, can you still eat."

Mrs. She said, "Yes." This time, I will take the lead in Yingzhou and the Empress Dowager Xiao's meeting, our Yang family's female generals are not vegetarians, the eighth prince only needs to transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses in Bianjing, and all the female generals in our family will be transferred to Cangzhou, I want to see if the Khitan people are so terrible? Yang Peng's nephew, are you willing to help me. Yang Peng said, "But there is a life, and I will not give up." ”

She Lao Taijun said to Lin Qing'er, "My sister is willing to help me once, my sister can be the commander, and the old body is at her disposal, and there is nothing to say." Lin Qing'er said, "Sister, don't say that, torture the slave family, I can charge for my sister and never shirk," Mrs. She was full of pride, and said to the flowers, "The daughters-in-law are willing to go out with the old man,"

Hua Jieyu, Zhou Yunjing, Huyan Chijin, and Du Jin'e said together, "But if you have a life, you will never give up." Yang Peng looked at the group of widows of the Yang family, and felt uncomfortable, this is life, this is the Yang family's life.

Yang Peng said to the Eighth Prince, "I make a request here, I hope that the Eighth Prince's Lord will go back and tell the official family, and there must be a way, I can take Yingzhou and Mozhou for you in exchange," the Eighth Prince said, "Please say" Yang Peng said, "The first is the Pan family, I don't want to make a mistake, so that all the Pan family will be exiled to Lingnan, and the second is to build a martyr's shrine near Tianbo Yang's Mansion to commend the merits of the Yang family, and the door of the Yang family can be molded with a card." The civil official got off the sedan chair, and the military general dismounted. to show respect for the Yang family. This condition can wait for you to get Yingzhou and Mozhou to implement, this time I go back, the Pan family's affairs will be done first, so that I also have an explanation for my master, and also an explanation for my seventh brother, if I can't do it, then I will open the killing ring, and the Pan family chicken and dog will not stay, this is a promise I have to my seventh brother. Tomorrow, you and I will go to the barracks to have a look, and you will know, I Yang Peng is a promise. ”

The eighth prince said to Yang Peng, "Okay, if I don't do this, I won't do this prince, so I will come to your Tianjing New City to be a master, teach and educate people, and I will inevitably feel guilty." If you don't eat well or sleep well, it's better to be clean,"

The heart of the eighth prince finally fell, Kou Zhun was also relieved, the daughter-in-law of the Yang family looked at Lin Qing'er with envy, even Mrs. She held Lin Qing'er's hand tightly, and at the same time looked at Yang Peng gratefully, Xuanran The people of the Pan family did not die, but they also saw Yang Peng's kind side, and the Yang family was also grateful to Yang Peng for this life.

At noon, Yang Peng set up a banquet to entertain the eighth prince and his party, and looked at Yang Peng's dishes at the dinner table, he was simply surprised, that is, there was no such way to eat in the palace. The taste is simply immortal, as long as the immortal family can eat such a meal, it is absolutely amazing. Kou Zhun was also surprised, there is still such a way to eat in the world.

The soldiers of the first and third squads of the first company of the second battalion of the Xuanfeng Regiment are all veterans, and they have all participated in the battle of Yingzhou minerals, and they have all killed bandits and seen blood. Yang Peng equipped the two squads with binoculars and war horses, and asked them to arrange them thirty kilometers north of Tianjing New City, always alerting whether there were Khitans entering the country.

On the fifth day of the eighth month of the first year of Xianping, the first and third classes patrolled north of Tianjing New Town and encountered Khitan scouts. They encountered not only Khitan scouts, but also a group of people who were caught by Khitan scouts fighting grass valleys. Before they could see the Khitan scouts clearly, they were startled by the earth-shattering cries. The soldiers rode up to a high place and saw an outrageous scene.

More than 20 Khitan scouts, wielding machetes and leather whips, drove a group of ragged Song people across the plain and drove them to the west. There were three or four hundred of those people, and I don't know which state or county they were. It may be that the place where they live was attacked by the Khitan scouts, and they met the Khitan scouts in the process of fleeing, so they fell into the hands of this Khitan scout. The Khitans often fought hard in attacking cities, and once they encountered fierce resistance, they would slaughter the city. The people who were breached could only save their lives if they fled.

It's a pity that this group of people still encountered Khitan scouts on the way to escape. There were men and women among the people, and some women and children were still holding their children, crying and running. The old people who couldn't run fell down from time to time, some could get up and continue running after struggling on the ground a few times, and some could not get up again when they fell to the ground, and lay on the ground forever.

The children who lacked physical strength gradually lost their ability to run, and one of them fell behind. When a Khitan saw this backward child, he came up with a knife. Blood splattered, and the child was slashed in the neck, and the blood spurted more than a meter high, and he fell in a pool of blood. The Khitan who killed the murderer made a knife and laughed, raised his blood-stained saber and shouted loudly. One of the women in the crowd of refugees saw this and cried loudly, and she staggered to the back of the crowd to walk to the child's body.

The Khitan man next to him whipped the woman's face, directly whipping the woman's face to the ground and knocking her to the ground. A man in the crowd couldn't stand such a scene anymore and howled loudly. He made his way through the fleeing crowd and rushed towards the murderous Khitan without hesitation, wanting to avenge his child. But before he could take two steps, a Khitan man in heavy armor rushed next to him. The Khitan man brandished a long saber and slashed at the man's back. The man let out a scream and fell to the ground like a sandbag, never to get up again.

The Khitans killed two of them, and their spirits became even more excited, screaming and driving the people to the west. But the scene of the Khitans killing two civilians frightened the fleeing civilians. The people did not know whether this group of Khitans wanted to kill them or drive them away, and they were afraid that they would run further west and kill all the Khitans, so they scattered and fled to the south. Seeing that the fleeing Ming people were scattered, the Khitan people rushed to the southernmost side on horseback with a shout, and cut down at the people who ran in front.

A shirtless man was caught up by an armorless Khitan, stabbed in the back of the heart with a knife, spat blood, and fell to the ground screaming. A woman holding a child was chased by a Khitan man in cotton armor, slashed in the back, and fell to the ground with a pop. The one-and-a-half-year-old child in her arms was slammed to the ground, probably bruised, and let out a terrible cry.

The Khitan man in cotton armor smirked and drove the horses away, letting the horses trample the crying baby on the ground. The heavy hooves of the war horse slammed into the baby's body, until the child's flesh and blood were blurred, and he could not cry. More than 20 Khitans killed more than a dozen people in a row, and only then did they frighten the people who had scattered to the south, and regrouped the panicked people and drove them to the west.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the soldiers of the two squads of the Election Forward Regiment had blood-red eyes. It is said that life in troubled times is as cheap as dogs, but when did the people of the Great Song Dynasty suffer such a massacre? The soldier shouted loudly: "Squad leader, let's go up and fight with these Khitan dogs!" "Squad Leader Yao, let's go up and kill the Khitan dogs that have been killed these days!" "Squad Leader Yao, we saved this group of people!"

The commander of these two squads was Yao Changle, the squad leader of the first squad, who put down the binoculars and groaned for a while, and looked at the squad leader of the third squad. Seeing that the squad leader of the third squad was also angry, Yao Changle nodded and said, "Catch one or two alive and go back, and our patrol mission will be considered a meritorious service." Let's go! ”

Sixteen soldiers made up their minds, loaded their rifles, and rode to the Khitan dogs. The scouts rode a hundred meters, slowed down their horses at a distance of three hundred and fifty meters from the Khitan scouts, and gradually moved closer to the Khitan scouts. The Khitans saw Yao Changle's team and shouted. Dozens of Khitans howled loudly in Khitan to communicate, and finally left five Khitans to guard the people, and sent twenty-four people to kill the scouts.

Those Khitans were used to killing the Great Song soldiers, and they were very supportive. Usually, even hundreds of Great Song soldiers will be washed away when they encounter these Khitans, where do they put these small groups of Great Song soldiers of sixteen people in their eyes? They swung their swords with their teeth and claws, increasing their speed little by little. Seeing the Khitan scouts coming, the scouts jumped off their horses one after another, squatted on the ground and aimed at the enemy. The distance is three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters. Yao Changle shouted loudly: "All aimed!" Put them a hundred paces and shoot again! ”

A hundred steps is one hundred and fifty meters, and it is more accurate to put the enemy to one hundred and fifty meters. The scouts held their breath and took aim at the Khitan scouts galloping over with their muskets, ready to shoot. One hundred and eighty meters, one hundred and sixty meters, one hundred and fifty meters! Yao Changle shouted loudly: "Fire!" ”

Sixteen rifles spat out tongues of fire, spewed conical flintlock bullets out of the barrels, and rushed towards the Khitan scouts a hundred paces away. The first salvo, a sharp bullet that rotated at high speed, hit the enemy with thirteen rounds. Ten of those Khitan scouts were the "foot armor" of the Khitan soldiers, wearing cotton armor embedded with iron plates. But where can these armors stop the high-speed spinning bullets? The iron piece embedded in the cotton armor was pierced by the bullet at once. The bullet made a hole in the armor and plunged headlong into the body beneath the armor, spinning and shattering the organs beneath the skin.

Five infantry armor was hit by bullets, fell off their horses with screams, fell hard to the ground, and soon lost their breath. There were five Khitan scouts who did not wear armor or only wore non-iron cotton armor, and they had no resistance in front of bullets. The three "followers" were hit by bullets in the body, their internal organs were crushed by the bullets, and they immediately lost their combat effectiveness and fell off their horses.

Nine of the twenty-four Khitan scouts were the elite "vests" of the Khitan scouts, wearing heavy armor. Three vests were hit in the body by flintlock rifles. However, these vests wore two layers of armor, with a layer of chain mail underneath the cotton armor embedded with iron plates. At a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, the kinetic energy of the bullet weakened after passing through the two layers of armor, and it did not immediately kill the three vests, but only caused minor injuries to the three vests.

The three vests were wounded, their faces became even more hideous, and they howled loudly. Two bullets did not hit people, but hit the horses, and one of the horses fell to the ground and convulsed, pressing one of the vests on his back under the horse. Another horse was wounded, and the man stood up and threw one of his infantry armor behind the horse.

The horses and personnel who fell to the ground in front caused the chaos of the Khitan scouts behind, and a horse with infantry did not have time to turn the horse's head, and was tripped by the corpse in front, and the horse lost its front hooves, fell to the ground, and fell half to death on the vest on its back. The Khitans, who were thrown off by their horses, also temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. The Khitan scouts, who were invincible just now, had been half crippled by the riflemen at once.

A single salvo of the scouts of the Elective Regiment made eleven Khitan scouts lose their combat effectiveness. Only then did the Khitan scouts know that they had encountered a strong enemy, and they panicked. The way ahead was blocked by horses and corpses on the ground, and the only way to continue the charge was to stop the horse and bypass these obstacles, and the speed of the impact was greatly reduced. And the big send-off soldiers in front may shoot again at any time! This is not a battle, this is an execution! Where did this come from, and why is it so strong? The few infantry armor and followers who were still alive suddenly lost their fighting spirit and raised their whips to flee.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
