The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

This hope is really a bit slim, Yeluchun looked up at the sky, his heart was full of melancholy, he never thought of being self-reliant.

The results showed that Yelu Zhangnu and Yelu Dashi both wanted to support him as emperor, take over the Daliao foundation that was completely defeated by Yelu Yanxi, and revive the glory of Khitan.

It was too difficult, Yeluchun was speechless to the sky, and hoped that the Jurchen Tartars and Nanmanzi would never come.

Khitan's soldiers and horses were transferred to the north to wipe out the Song army who refused to surrender to the village along the Baigou River. They became more and more bold and often crossed the Baigou River to kill those local snakes in Liao.

The Liao people, unable to be distracted, could only let these behaviors go, and pretended not to see them with their eyes closed. Anyway, these people were well-mannered and never approached the towns of Yandi.

Yang Lin even ordered Han Shizhong to drive a group of captives, build a bridge on the Baigou River, and prepare for crossing the river.

I don't know how long Yelu Dashi can last with his own support this time, and whether it will last longer than in history.

Anyway, I have enough patience to wait, as long as I don't lose the embankment and hand over more than a dozen military states to the Jurchen Tartars.

The Jurchen's killing of the Yelu clan was too brutal, and Yelu Dashi and Yelu Chun would definitely not surrender to these life-and-death enemies. As long as they couldn't beat them, the possibility of Natu returning to the Song Dynasty was the greatest.

The battle was imminent, and Yang Lin, who was waiting to pick up a bargain, led a group of people to patrol around Hebei East Road.

The Chenghai Navy was frantically transporting supplies by sea to Hebei. Yang Lin was going to take people to the coast to build a port, and then slowly headed east.

If I remember correctly, Tianjin had not yet been built as a city. Although it had always been an important place for water transportation, and after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it became a water and land terminal for transporting grain from the south and silk to the north. However, it was not until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Di officially ordered the construction of the city to begin.

The location here is very important. If a war with the Jurchens is inevitable in the future, the navy from Tianjin can directly attack the Jurchens' hinterland.Even ordinary harassment can play a great role in restraint.

Yang Lin was going to go to the sea where Song and Liao were handed over, choose a place to build a port, and report to the imperial court to start building the city.

The road along the way is not easy to walk. This is the area that Song Dynasty strategically abandoned. It is very different from the south. There are villages similar to Xujiazhuang everywhere, with their own armed forces.

For a hundred years, they needed to unite to resist the looting of the Liao people spontaneously, which also created the habit of martial arts here.

Riding on Gao Gang, Yang Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the dense forest and dense canals in the distance.

There is no reason to abandon one's own family and plant trees to defend against the enemy. The civil official group of the Song Dynasty is so unwilling to make progress, no wonder it has not taken back Youyan until now.

Those dukes of Gungun who lived in Bianliang didn't even think about sending troops to the Northern Expedition. Occasionally, a few ambitious emperors would be scolded by them.

Zong Ze, who was behind him, slowly leaned over and said, "Young master, there is news from the front that the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are divided into two groups. Wanyan Aguda personally led the troops to attack the Datong Mansion, threatening to capture the Liao Lord alive. But his brother Wu Begging and leading troops to go south, wanting to eat Youyan, hehe, the Jurchen's appetite is really not small."

Yang Lin chuckled and said, "No wonder there are fewer and fewer Liao soldiers in Baigouhe recently. It turns out that the Jurchens are here."

Zong Ze's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Do you want to?"

Yang Lin shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and let the horse graze on the side. Yang Lin sighed: "The sage says that people have no faith, so I don't know why. A role model, how can you not follow the ancient precepts."

Zong Ze curled his lips behind Yang Lin, with a look of helplessness and disgust. Who doesn't know that you have a bad stomach, and now that you don't send troops, you don't know what tricks to think.

When Yang Lin turned his head, Zong Ze quickly put away his expression, Yang Lin was a little surprised: "Why is your mouth twitching?"

Zong Ze quickly rubbed his nose, and said, "Recently, I have recovered from the cold, and I feel a little sick."

Yang Lin scolded and said: "When a big event is approaching, how can you relax? Give me a good rest, don't let me use you all, and every one of you will get sick. When the time comes, I will kill you one by one on the charge of retreating in battle. You sacrifice the flag.

This time is unusual, but it is related to the rise and fall of our Hantong millennium, and there is no room for any mistakes.If it succeeds, it will be famous forever, but if it fails, it will leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.The folk customs here are tough, you have been here for so long, and the number of soldiers and horses recruited is still a bit small. "

Although Zong Ze was scolded for a while, his heart was agitated, and he hurriedly said: "The next official will not hold back."

"It's about the same." Yang Lin was actually a little nervous in his heart, how lucky he was to stand at this point.Looking at the sky in the northwest, it is gloomy and lonely. Standing on a high place often makes people feel turbulent.

"The man is as determined as iron, try your hands, and heal the cracks in the sky."

Chapter 377 is a plan for Tu Youyan, building a new city by the sea

Teams of cavalry were running back and forth near the coast near the border of Song and Liao, drawing a survey map with a charcoal pen and sheepskin scroll in their hands. Yang Lin sat on the huge stone mountain by the sea and watched the sea.

The sea breeze blows layers of waves, slapping on the reef, and there are bursts of waves.

Zong Ze was worried at the side, scratched his head and said: "Master, the situation of the Youyan battle is not yet settled, so we will build the city by the sea first, isn't it a little unsafe.

It’s okay if you get You Yan back, but if you can’t get it back, not to mention the waste of money, most likely it will be occupied by foreign races, wouldn’t this city become a laughing stock?”

Yang Lin turned around, pointed to a big rock he was sitting on, and said with a smile, "Ru Lin, come and lift this rock."

Zong Ze took a look, the stone was several times bigger than himself, how could it be moved, and said with a wry smile: "Master, this stone cannot be moved by human power."

"Come and try moving."

Zong Ze was stunned for a moment, rolled up his sleeves, bent forward and lifted it, the big stone must have been motionless.

Yang Lin asked, "Do you understand now?"

Zong Ze pondered for a moment, then said solemnly: "Young Zai means that even though we know that it will be difficult and dangerous to take back Youyan, we officials still have to work hard to win it, and move forward even though we know the difficulties?"

Yang Lin turned his back and continued to look at the sea, shook his head and said with a smile: "I mean, my official is older than you, so you have to do what you are asked to do, no matter whether it is absurd or not, if you are asked to build a city, I will give it to you." I'm breaking ground, don't make any noise."

Zong Ze gritted his teeth angrily, and lashed out at Yang Lin's back angrily, wishing he could give him a kick in the ass and kick this Shangguan into the sea.If he was a completely incompetent Shangguan, he would not be too lazy to get angry, but this person is resourceful and decisive, and he likes to play tricks on others.

Zong Ze is usually a lively person, otherwise he would not dare to go to Zhaodefang to give gifts with two bad fish and bad wine, but he is still often thrown out of his composure by Yang Lin.

At this time, Han Shizhong rushed over excitedly, wondering: "Master Zong, what's wrong with your hands and feet?"

Zong Ze quickly scratched his head, and said with a normal expression: "The sea breeze is very cold, and I have some convulsions, it's okay."

Han Shizhong snorted, stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the sheepskin scroll and said, "Young Zai, everything has been mapped and surveyed. Look, let's build a harbor from this place, and then rely on this place to build a city around it."

Yang Lin leaned his head to look at it, thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It will get twice the result with half the effort to build it from the shipping department of Mizhou Port City. First, build the harbor. At least dozens of large ships must be able to berth. After a few days If you take Youyan every day, it will come in handy."

The three of them got together again, discussed and agreed on the edge of the city wall, and built it on the basis of mountains and rivers, Yang Lin didn't care much about it.

Once this Tianjin Wei is completed, Youyan has been restored according to my own plan, but it is just an inner city.

With Youyun as a line of defense, how can we allow foreigners to go south to such a place? By then, this place will be the north-south water transport center, connecting Huaiyang and Jiangnan, revitalizing the Hebei East Road and the Youyan land, and restoring prosperity.

More importantly, the establishment of Xiulou and the popularization of bank notes have increased the importance of silver.

Tianjin Wei can be connected to Dongying, which is the largest producer of silver and gold. The Japanese still exchange silver and gold for the copper coins of the Song Dynasty as currency in circulation.

The southeast coast opened the city ship department, the Western Regions wiped out Kaerhan and opened up the Silk Road. Now in the territory planned by Yang Lin, there is only the land of Youyan in Hebei. It's in the bag, it's better to start publishing the first batch in advance

With Kaifeng Mansion as the center, these places are connected together, and they can subtly change the status quo of the Song Dynasty concentrating the world's wealth in Bianliang, so that the local people will not be so miserable.

These plans must not be shared with Zong Ze and other confidants, and they may not understand them.Among them, the Long Live Camp and the Xiulou, there are more or less acts of using power for personal gain and exceeding the prohibition. It is better to cover it up if it can be covered up.

Yang Lin sighed, thinking that he used to make money by bribing Zhao Ji and Cai Jing to gain power for himself.When the power arrives, it is time to feed back this civilization and this wonderful era.

Zong Ze worked as a county magistrate for more than ten years in a poor county in the north, and he has some experience in people's livelihood.

Seeing that Yang Lin was getting serious, he hurriedly asked, "Master, these places are easy to build, how can we attract people to settle here? Our Hebei East Road has been plagued by wars for many years, and the people are struggling to survive. The land is sparsely populated."
