The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

Occasionally, my cronies could put forward some different political opinions and criticize Yang Lin's negligence and loopholes, but these people kept silent, except for a few words of rebellious officials behind their backs, they hardly dared to speak disrespect in public.It was only in front of the acquainted leader of the painting boat that he used the gall to look at his mouth and said something like Cao Cao.

The people in the Captain's Mansion had secretly investigated a lot, and after reporting it, Yang Lin just smiled and refused to pursue it.What kind of a hero Cao Cao is, how could these mediocre villains be able to criticize and evaluate him.

The so-called Jingying Forbidden Army that these people used to rely on were all rushed to dig the river, and Yang Lin's soldiers and horses were all around Bianliang.

Yin Muhong and Yang Lin looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes.

"How much?" Zhang An of the Zhihe Division, wrapped in a white cloth, had not healed from his injuries, and couldn't care about the pain at this moment, so he sat up suddenly: "5000 million guan?"

The visitor said with a smile: "Mingtang ordered last night that there are still 60 young adults for Governor Zhang to drive."

Not long after the construction of Zhang An's River Management Department started, the downfall of Yang in the court began.

The Department of River Management was the first to bear the brunt, because this was the source of the conflict. Yang Lin insisted on taking the canal straight, which touched the interests of most of the scholar-bureaucrats, so they joined forces to get Yang Lin down.

As soon as the construction of the Quzhi Canal started, it was put on hold, and Zhang An, who had nothing to do, had to dredge the sediment and started his old business of controlling the Yellow River.

At this time Wanyan Xiyin went south, Zhang An broke the embankment and flooded the camp. It was a coincidence that Lan Congxi was negotiating peace with the Jurchens at that time.

Zhao Ji arrested Zhang An on the charge of sabotaging the peace talks, and Liang Shicheng and others took the opportunity to divide up the funds raised by Xiulou for the Department of Hezhi.

Zhang An originally thought that it would take a long time to get the canal straight, but he didn't expect that so much money and manpower came just a few days after he was released from prison.

As a result, the scale of the canal is not what was planned before.

The injuries on Zhang An's body didn't seem to hurt anymore. After sitting up from the bed, he walked around excitedly.

The river courses in the Hebei area have been changed in a mess, and major events of the Yellow River diversion often occur.A heavy rain is a catastrophe for the people in Hebei.

The number of deaths due to this is tens of thousands every year. In the history of later generations, there are many such evil consequences. For example, Daming Mansion was completely submerged by the silt of the Yellow River.

The Daming Mansion in the Ming Dynasty had already been rebuilt next to the old site. Now that he had funds and manpower, Zhang An secretly vowed in his heart to clean up the river course, dig out the canal, run through the north and south, and benefit his hometown for thousands of years.

From Yang Lin's point of view, the canal has been dug through, the Hebei area has been activated, and the whole country is no longer raising an already bloated Kaifeng mansion in Bianliang.Only in this way can the prosperity of the Song Dynasty be truly spread to all territories, and it can also better activate Youyan's role as a Han family's screen vassal.

Otherwise, the current situation in Hebei is desolate and impoverished, and it is extremely easy for You Yan, who has gathered a large army, to become a powerful vassal out of the control of the imperial court.

The first year of Xuanhe has just begun, and things are finally moving in a good direction and starting to move forward.

464 I Want to Train the New Army

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the city of Bianliang is lively again.

The port of Bianhe River is still busy, and the north and south accents at the water gate are mixed, and the peddlers who do business with merchants try their best to yell.

The football market in the city was still full, and the old and young people in Bianliang City, as well as merchants and tourists from all over the place, cheered loudly for the team they supported with red faces.

The previous palace change seems to have been left behind by the people of Bianliang. No matter who is the emperor, they still have to live the same life.

Often the people in the capital are the ones who are most enthusiastic about talking about the political dispute between the DPRK and China, especially when talking to outsiders, they are full of superiority, either pretending to be mysterious or shouting loudly.The people of Bianliang in the Song Dynasty were even more outstanding, but this time they were unwilling to talk about it.

In the past, if there were foreign merchants in the wine shop and tea house, they couldn't help but ask a lot about the important affairs of the court, these Bianliang people would like to roll up their sleeves and talk all day and night.

Nowadays, when merchants ask about it, Bianliang idlers often raise their eyebrows and say, "You can also ask us about Bianliang's affairs? Naturally, the court affairs are handled by the ministers of the court, and it's your turn to worry about it. Are you What year was the Jinshi?"

It's not because of anything else, but because of the appearance of a great killer in Bianliang, the new king's guard Du Wei's mansion.

These people are pervasive. If a minister of any family says something that should not be said, even if he complains to his wife and concubine in the bed at night, he will definitely be called at court the next morning, scaring this talkative minister I can't even stand still.

What's more terrible is that they are not only pervasive, but also famous for their ruthlessness. Jin Liangqiao killed more than 300 officials and officials at once. rolling.This was all happened not long ago, how can people dare to recall it?

There is a difference between a family of the imperial army and an official. Officials generally serve as officials for one generation, and it is very rare to be three or four generations at most.However, from the founding of the country to the present, the Forbidden Army family has always been the local snake in Bianliang, and all the industries in their hands are the most lucrative industries.

The people of Bianliang have something to do with them more or less. The family of the imperial army has been rectified so badly that they are almost uprooted. How can it not be scary.

At this time, the imperial army had already been driven out of Bianliang in groups and went to the Hebei area, preparing to dig ditches and straighten the canal.

In the former school grounds of the Imperial Army, several large and imposing new camps were erected.

Hundreds of cows are dragging heavy rollers to compact the playground.Yang Lin, who was standing next to him, was instructing everyone to renovate the camp of the forbidden army. The Northwest Army had already left half of it one after another, returning to the land in the northwest to station, especially the party members, almost all left.

The place where the Dangxiang people were located was the original land of Xixia. The situation there was very complicated, and heavy troops were needed to guard it, otherwise the various tribes would inevitably make trouble.

In terms of the ability to be brave and good at fighting alone, the Dangxiang individual soldiers are stronger than the Mongols. Even in the period when Genghis Khan was in full swing and Xixia was already decayed, he could still keep Genghis Khan crazy on the sandbar.

If it weren't for the small size of this nation, I'm afraid the harm in history would be even greater.

As a result, there are only [-] to [-] soldiers left in Bianliang, and Yang Lin is going to train a real imperial army based on the imperial army, who will charge forward for himself in future wars.

There is room for 60 people's camps, armaments, and food and wages. It is not difficult to recruit and train a team of good families.

Song Jiang stood on the side, and now Yang Lin's head is growing. When we first met, he was about the same height as Song Jiang, but now he is a head taller than him.

"Master, this camp is about to be built, when will we start recruiting?"

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Let those forbidden soldiers dig rivers and canals, know the joy of labor, and then recruit. This time, the source of soldiers we want must be selected at various levels. There is an example of Jurchen overthrowing Daliao before. In front of him, Wanyan Xiyin killed 5 people and blood flowed into rivers in the Central Plains.

These lessons have taught me a truth, soldiers are expensive and elite are not expensive. This time I want to train an elite Han army. What I want is the absolute elite, and the number only needs to be about 5.As for the conditions for recruiting troops, they must be strict and strict.The first patriarch is innocent, and no criminals are allowed within the three generations; the second is tall, and those with chronic or chronic diseases are not allowed to join the army; the third family must have brothers to support their parents, and the only son is not allowed to join the army. "

Song Jiang nodded, and said: "Young Zai is right. I am in the Karahan Dynasty. Those Uighurs have hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. They look scary. Who knows that they will disperse as soon as they charge, and surrender as soon as they are beaten."

Yang Lin hadn't had time to understand what happened to Kara Khan, so he couldn't help but ask: "Karakhan, are the people left behind reliable? Can they hold the Western Regions?"

"Don't worry, Shao Zai, they are all trusted brothers."

Yang Lin pouted, dissatisfied with this point, Song Jiang is fine, but he likes forming cliques too much.How can the loyalty of the rivers and lakes be used in the operation of a big official in the frontier.

Fortunately, now that I have freed up my hands, I can slowly solve the problem in the Northwest. Not only Karakhan, but also Tubo, were included in the Song Dynasty in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take care of it carefully. After all, I was eager to come back to participate in the Liaojin dispute. .

"Why didn't I see how many Karakhan royal families you captured?"

Song Jiang waved his hand and said: "Those bird people have already perished, and they are still putting on a domineering air, let me chop them all."

"Cut it? It's a pity!" Yang Lin bared his teeth and asked, "Karakhan's princesses should be pretty beauties, right?"

"Hey! Young Master, you've got it wrong. Those bird princesses, all of them have a charming face, and they don't have the slightest boldness. They are a thousand miles away from our Han girls. "

Yang Lin's heart bleeds, this company has faded and apologized, and he called his partner Momo, and he was always in trouble. Mou Pan's family

Thinking of those princesses from the Western Regions being destroyed by this fat black man, Yang Lin's heart felt like a knife.

At this time, the front camp had already been solidified, and dozens of horsemen and horses were running back and forth on it, and there was not much smoke and dust rolled up. Yang Lin said: "Go, go and have a look."

When he got closer, there were not many potholes stepped on the ground by horseshoes, Yang Lin nodded and said: "Yes, Bianliang City is too fat and powdery, and it has been many years since this Han Dynasty's heroic city has such a martial atmosphere. Maybe it goes back to the time of Shizong Chai Rong. Put some stone locks, archery targets, and stables on the side. This new army needs to practice formation, strength, and riding and shooting.

Over there, set up another lecture hall, and I will send people to teach these soldiers how to read and write. "
