Zhao Xun looked at the city.

The city was very chaotic at this time, and Anyuan City was very small. If Zheng Lang had not been prepared and expanded a little, and re-encircled some of the original southeastern city gates into an outer city and circled it in, then Anyuan City would be piled up at this moment.

In addition, the Jiaozhi army suddenly arrived, and the people were worried and afraid, and people called pigs and children to cry, and they were in chaos.

He called out an instructor: "Person Liu, I will give it to you first on the top of the city."

As he said that, he had to settle the people immediately, and the local soldiers and the yamen runners who maintained order were drawn out to form some combat power. Otherwise, there would be only 300 soldiers on the top of the city at this moment, and it would be very difficult to defend the city.

He took County Magistrate Zhang to quickly appease the people.

There were tens of thousands of people who could not be comforted. Zhao Xun shouted, "Using the yamen runners to force the people to settle down."

He had to use rough methods, otherwise there would be so many people and so many livestock, and Zhao Xun could not hear clearly if he drank it, but Jiaozhi people were getting closer.

Teams of yamen runners and the gradually drawn local soldiers drove the people away. Finally, the people were dispatched to the city one after another, but it was still very chaotic. However, the road was given out, and all the local soldiers were drawn out. They barely gathered nearly four or five hundred soldiers, but the manpower was still insufficient.

Zhao Xun took out the tips Zheng Lang gave him from his arms, and Zheng Lang had already learned that Jiaozhi sent troops. Jiaozhi was a young man. If he wanted to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, he had to recruit troops nationwide. If he used the navy, he had to recruit large ships across the country.

Before the Jiaozhi army was launched, the people could not be arranged in the city, as it would cause huge chaos, and even people would complain and leave the city privately, causing unnecessary sacrifices. Property can be lost, but the people cannot have serious casualties. In this way, it would make the people afraid of Guangdong and Guangxi, which would be detrimental to Guangdong and Guangxi. War is not the main means. It is necessary to make a peaceful sky. Development of Guangdong and Guangxi is the theme.

Zheng Lang gave Zhao Xun again, saying that if there are many enemies coming, there are not many tips to dismantle.

It is unknown how many enemies came, but there were nearly a hundred enemy ships coming to Anyuan City, and there were not many, so Zhao Xun took apart the tips.

After looking at it, he said to County Magistrate Zhang: "Go and gather the chiefs of the elders and the chiefs of the caves."

"Here," Magistrate Zhang took the yamen runners down, and after a while, more than a hundred senior household leaders and the village master brought them together.

Zhao Xun said, "The enemy is coming, are you afraid?"

Some were not afraid of answering, while others did not answer. Most of the people answered were the local lords and village leaders. Zhao Xun tried his best this time, one for himself and the other for repaying Zheng Lang's trust. He was very grateful to Zheng Lang. What he didn't know was that if Zheng Lang had not had a bright future, he would have also failed in the battle of Dingchuan Village and was captured to Xixia. There was no news since then. He didn't know the strength of these local barbarians. Twenty years later, there were only 17,000 households in the two states of Qinlian. In fact, it was not only more than 20,000 households. It was more than 20,000 households, led by a few Han landlords and village leaders of each lord, defeated 20,000 regular Jiaozhi troops that invaded from the sea, making Jiaozhi dare not follow the seashore, enter Ruxizhai from Sumaozhou, and then enter Qinzhou from Ruxizhai, forcing the main force to be placed in the Yongzhou area.

They cooperated with Zheng Lang's work and were somewhat afraid of the imperial army. With Zheng Lang's various popular comforting methods, as well as a bright future, they were still very powerful in their bones.

This also verifies Zheng Lang's words: the more behind, the more barbaric it is, the more barbaric it is, like a Jurchen. The poorer it is, the wilder and fierce it is, as if some are a man of barbarism.

Zhao Xun said again: "Mr. Zheng has already prepared for the invasion of Jiaozhi people. Including Anyuan City, it is easy to deal with. Now I have to leave two things to you. First, cooperate with the government to arrange the people of your jurisdiction. If the enemy cannot be in the future, you will be in chaos. Secondly, the warriors were drawn. Zheng Xianggong had already prepared sufficient weapons and armor in the county curriculum. For all warriors who guard the city on the top of the city, each person would be rewarded with two pieces of cloth, five coins, and five stones of food. If you kill one of the enemies, you will be rewarded with five times. If you kill two enemies, you will be rewarded with ten times, and so on. But you remember that although it is a reward, you are guarding your own home and your family are safe."

Very generous reward.

"Here," almost all the cave masters and village masters answered happily. Some of the elderly households who were introduced by the migrants hesitated for a moment and also answered.

The elders and chiefs retreated one after another. Zhao Xun led the yamen runners to open the county warehousing. They prepared well, with a lot of food and a large number of bows and arrows. In fact, some barbarians also had bows and arrows in their hands, but they were not as sharp as those made by the court. A large number of spears saved costs. They were made of as earth and wood. The wood was sharpened and the spear head was installed on the iron tip, and they became simple spears, divided into long spears and short spears. Short spears were thrown, and the spears were used to stab the enemy soldiers who climbed the city. A large number of armor was not the Infantry armor, and there was no way, and the funds were tight, so they had to secretly create many vine armors in advance for protection and saving costs.

After a while, the elders and the village heads and the village heads gathered with young and middle-aged people, and Zhao Xun ordered people to distribute weapons and armor.

The city's diplomatic fleet sailed to the dock and moored one by one, and walked down from ships of all sizes. A general looked up at the city and did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he asked the soldiers to set up camp and move weapons and siege equipment from the ship.

Jiaozhi can be despised by strategy, but must be cautious in tactics. Jiaozhi's army is very different from the Nongzhigao Miscellaneous Army. It has stronger combat power and will also attack the city. It once forcibly captured Foyu City and captured the palace maids and concubines in the harem of Cham City to return to Shenglong City. Zhao Xun and Zhou Heng saw a pair of tall siege ladders on the top of the city and lifted off the ship. Some worries appeared on their faces. These siege ladders were not the cloud ladders of the Song Dynasty, but they would put great pressure on Anyuan City.

The sun slowly sets down the mountain, and the people of Jiaozhi sang and danced in the camp, believing that Anyuan City is ready to go.

However, Zhao Xun took advantage of this rare time to arrange militia troops in the city and do some simple teaching. Although many militiamen took up weapons, especially some migrant households who moved here, they could not even use bows and arrows, so they could only cram and teach them some things at the moment.

One night passed, and the next day, the Jiaozhi army drove out of the camp, carried the siege ladder, took vine shields, bows and arrows, and approached Anyuan City.

The battle to defend Anyuan City and Lianzhou City began.

...

Zheng Lang was in love with his father at this time.

Not only was he in the Acacia Treasure House, but Yue'er was also in the Acacia Treasure House. Yu Jing, Cheng Shimeng, Yandu and Cai Ting came to the Acacia Treasure House together.

The difficulty of the Lingqu canal is still in Zheng Lang's imagination. In presiding over the maintenance of the Lingqu canal, Zheng Lang couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the ancients again. He also thought of the other two projects of the Qin Dynasty, one Dujiangyan, which has been used until later generations, and it continues to play a huge role. Its lifespan will be extended, and it may continue to play a thousand five hundred years, two thousand years, or even longer. One Zhengguo Canal will have a different appearance, but the Sanbai Canal was also built on the basis of the Zhengguo Canal. If it weren't for the deterioration of the soil and soil in Shaanxi and gradually became a loess high slope, its lifespan would not be short. Finally, it was this Lingqu.

However, I still underestimated the lovesickness.

In Zheng Lang's idea, he had a lot of gunpowder and he was smashing it down at any cost. The project should be over soon.

In fact, it would be easier to dig some stubborn stones than he imagined.

At the highest time, the labor force was employed to reach more than 20,000, which started in early October. However, it was not completed in March this year. Some of the hard man who had to stay at home continued to stay on the Acacia Pagoda and dig the tail project.

As for the gunpowder used, it is impossible to calculate. The large-scale development of Guangdong and Guangxi has also led to a significant increase in the use of sulfur. Last year alone, more than two million jin of sulfur was imported from Ryukyu, rather than the original 500,000 jin. The project was huge and expenditures were also increasing dramatically.

In fact, Liang Shi's allocated funds did not intentionally make things difficult for Zheng Lang, but also carefully calculated.

First, there is food on Guangnan East Road, which can save millions of yuan in costs. Second, the revenue of Guangnan East Road also increased by 30 million yuan in last year. Although more than 22 million yuan was given, the income from the inside and outside was added, plus the income from the Anmengguan and the two sucrose supervision stocks was equivalent to 30 million yuan in money.

Considering that the scale of Guangnan West Road development is not as large as that of Guangnan East Road, the money is enough for Zheng Lang to spend money.

It was this Xiangsi Dao, which was only more than 30 miles long, that gave Zheng Lang a headache. He had to write to the court again and again, and finally allocated another 4 million yuan to barely maintain the development costs. In fact, it was no longer much less than the cost used on Guangnan East Road.

Standing on the steep gate, Yu Jing was filled with emotion and said, "It's not the lovesickness temple, but the golden temple."

Its cost is enough even if there is a layer of gold on it.

Zheng Lang also smiled bitterly.

He felt embarrassed to use this money.

Yu Jing said again: "If you have this money, can you manage Sanmenxia?"

It is not ironic, in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, Li Qiwu, the prefect of Shaanxi County, saw the hardships of Sanmenxia, ​​and many boats sank and the civilians drowned, so he tried to burn stones and woxi on the Renmen Peninsula to chisel a new river. If the new river was formed, the water situation of Sanmen was still very fast, but when the ships walked from the Xinkai River, they would not directly hit the pillars, and the ships would be reduced by half. With this idea, thousands of civilians organized and spent several months to carve out a newly opened river that was more than 300 meters long and six meters deep. However, after the river was formed, the Yellow River was large, the canals were turbulent, and the ships were even more dangerous. The Yellow River was small, and the canals were dry, and the boats still had to go through the Sanmen Gate.

The remnants of this newly opened river are still there, but most of them are abandoned by boatmen.

But there is no way. If it is dug deeper and wider, for example, three zhang, four zhang, five zhang, and wider, will this happen?

The dangers of the Three Gate are still there, but the ship does not need to pass through the Human Gate. If it does not pass through the Human Gate, there will be no dangers of hitting the pillars, which will also have great help to the transportation of the Song Dynasty. After all, although Shaanxi is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, it is also a serious border matter due to the harm of the Western Xia.

"It's enough. But you have to wait a moment."

"Wait a minute?" Yu Jing asked suspiciously. Although he is from Guangdong and Guangxi, he also knows the importance of it. Compared with Guangdong and Guangxi, Shaanxi is more important.

"It won't be too long. I'm waiting for new gunpowder. Once it produces energy and is cheap, it can expand and open a new river." Zheng Lang paused and said, "Don't underestimate Xiangsi Dao and underestimate Guangdong and Guangxi."

Shaanxi only has military value, but Xixia did not take it down. Once Xixia is taken down and this military value is lost, the Sanmen Canal will be far less effective than Xiangsida. It is not that Shaanxi is not good, on the contrary, Shaanxi Road is one of the relatively mature areas of the Song Dynasty. However, it has little to do with the Song Dynasty, but it is the solid foundation laid by the previous dynasty.

It is precisely because of the excessive development that Shaanxi must carry out some protection, otherwise the population will expand, which will accelerate the environmental deterioration in this area.

In Zheng Lang's mind, the best territory of the Song Dynasty in the future will be Xiangshui, followed by Guangdong and Guangxi, and there is huge room for growth.

After walking down the steep gate, an old man was carrying a stone, which was a little heavy and almost staggered to the ground.

Zheng Lang walked over and supported him.

The old man was flattered and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

"Don't use it, old man. Let the guards take the stone to the shore instead of the old man and support the old man to rest.

I didn't stop for a long time, so I left naturally and looked forward.

Cheng Shimeng said to Yan Du: "If Mr. Chen had the heart of Mr. Zheng, he would not have been impeached this spring."

It refers to the case of Chen Zhizhong's maid.

Previously, when the Guangzhou manager joined the army, Chen Zhongyou, was sentenced to death by mistake. Wei Guan was moved to the capital for merit and arrested the prison, and Liu Xi replaced the position of Guangzhou magistrate. Zheng Lang did not reject this. Although Liu Xi was greedy for alcohol, he was in the Qingming Dynasty and understood water conservancy. In some aspects, he was even better than Wei Guan. Because Chen Zhongyou was his subordinate before, Wei Guan believed that Zhongyou was a public crime, which was just a mistake of misjudgment and should be redeemed. Zhao Zhen told Zhang Kui of the Criminal Court that the dead should not be resurrected. Although the prison officer (referring to Chen Zhongyou) was temporarily abolished, it was impossible to punish him more frequently.

He ordered Zhongyou to pardon although he was pardoned, he was not allowed to use it.

This is the importance of human life. People cannot be resurrected by death. The sky is great and the earth is great, and human life is the greatest. These two sentences are similar in nature.

But not long after, a case that made Zhao Zhen very embarrassed, Chen Zhizhong abused and killed a maid.

After Liang Shi fell into trouble, something happened in Chen Zhizhong's family and a maid died. He died abnormally. The murder case was caused by Kaifeng Mansion. The investigation resulted in the investigation. The maid named Ying'er was covered in bruises and was covered in skin. It was clearly beaten to death.

However, Chen Zhizhong was a dignified prime minister and half of Zhao Zhen's teacher. The Kaifeng Prefecture officials were a little hesitant, so they made a vague conclusion, leading to two statements: one was that Chen Zhizhong beat Ying'er to death with his own hands, and the other was that Chen Zhizhong's favorite concubine beat Ying'er to death.

But there is another rumor in the shop that Ying'er was just a thirteen-year-old girl. She didn't know what mistake she had made. Under the instigation of Chen Zhizhong's favored concubine Zhang, Chen Zhi took off all her clothes, beat and slapped her. In the cold winter, she was locked in a dark room, injured and froze, and Ying'er died. More than Ying'er was the only one. In the past, another maid named Haitang in Chen Zhizhong's mansion was beaten to death, but she did not disturb Kaifeng Mansion. There was also a maid who didn't know her name, because she made a small mistake, cut her hair straight. At this time, the hair was skin, and was given by her parents. How shameful it was to cut her hair, so the maid hanged herself.

This matter is very complicated.

Many officials were dissatisfied. First, the minister Cui Yi was ordered to punish Chen Zhizhong's favored concubine and murder maids. Cui Yi tried it and concluded that Chen Zhizhong was beaten to death because Ying'er was disrespectful, and it was not because he was favored concubine and intentionally killed maids.

Zhao Zhen was very happy that even if Chen Zhizhong was asked to stop the prime minister, he could not be punished for intentional killing maids. Then Chen Zhizhong would not have a day to make a comeback. He could be stopped, but he could not be stopped with this crime, even if Chen Zhizhong's favorite concubine killed maids.

But Zhao Zhen was also negligent about the opposition between the minister and the prime minister.

Almost every word of the minister takes the honor of inverting the prime minister. When Zhao Yan came, he reported that he once said that Chen Zhizhong was unlearning and incompetent, he dealt with inverted things, cited evil and slander, recruited Yanbuzhu, rejected good people, was stubborn and sentimental, and had a bad family matter. I was afraid that Your Majesty still regarded his words as false, and he had not given any permission to accept them yet. If I did not give a single word and understood the rules, it would be a responsibility to be investigated by Your Majesty, and he was also guilty of widowing and widowing in Xiantai, which was unbearable.

Begin to criticize Chen Zhizhong's mistakes.

Last spring, the system and etiquette were not suitable (referring to Chen Zhizhong reading the mourning book regardless of the Prime Minister's identity), which ruined the national system, so he wanted to flatter you and make you happy and give him more glory and wealth.

Zhao Zhen:...

He has always been customized in Hanlin Studies, but Chen Zhizhong was secretly used by himself, so that the Hanlin Studies Bachelors can reach seven. Only these two items can be dismissed.

Chen Zhizhong was rewarded and punished, and he was very willing to do things lightly. For example, Liu Shi was not at fault, but suddenly transferred from Jiangning Prefecture to a smoky land in Guangzhou. If he was demoted because of the mistake, he still had to take the title of a scholar in Longtu Pavilion, which was inexplicable. Wu Chong and Feng Zhenqing both surrendered to the military base because of the matter of exposing the writings of the ancestral school of the Li Academy. This is the second reason why Chen Zhizhong Miao Li can be dismissed.

The officials of the Pavilion were not allowed to be delicate. Chen Zhizhong was kind to his private party, such as Cui Yi was given to Zhengzhou, so Cui Yi was punished by Zhizhong's prison, and was dismissed to repay his private favors according to the violation. Chen Zhizhong once sent his concubine to Zhou Yu's house, so Zhou Yu summoned him to the Pavilion. This is the third reason for dismissing Chen Zhizhong.

He was a disciple of Miao Da, Liu You, and Liu Xisou, and those who were pre-sitantly seated were Puyuan, Li Ning, and Cheng Weixiang. He was also in the heavy weight of the platform and tripod. He actually used divination and disasters to manage the country in this way? There were four people who stopped here.

Shao must be the governor of Changzhou and misjudged the sentence. Later, he realized that he was wrongly sentenced, and immediately Hao You, which was because he knew that his mistakes would be corrected by a gentleman. Chen Zheng was dismissed from the position of Kaifeng Prefecture to proclaim officials and was demoted to the military supervisor of Shaowu. Shi Minying, a citizen of Tingzhou, slandered the envoy for committing corruption and used the envoys with a cunning face to the Guangnan prison city. The envoy complained to Xue, and realized that it was a vain, but only Shi Minying was surrendered to the punishment. Shao must be compared with Minying, and the crimes committed by Minying were severe and the crimes committed by Minying were light. Shao must be punished by the punishments of the crimes committed by Minying, and the crimes committed by Minying were light. Shao must be punished by the punishments of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of the crimes of

Lu Jingchu, Ma Zun, and Wuzhong played Liang Shi again. After offending him, he went out to govern Zhengzhou. Lu Jingchu followed him and ran away, and there was a saying about me. Feng Jing told Wu Chong, Ju Zhenqing, and Diao Fu not to be dismissed for not guilty, and Chong and others were sent out to the door. He also went to Jingjing to make the daily notes, which made the court guilty and loyal and refused to advise, which was a jealous person in this way. Six people should be exempted.

The female slave Ying'er was only thirteen years old. She was beaten and beaten hard, and also listened to the words of A Zhang. She was frozen naked in the winter, sealed her wrists, and cut off her food, which led to death. There was also Haitang, who died because of A Zhang's beating, and another female envoy, who committed suicide. It was only within one month. There were three cruel incidents, and there were resentments from the front and back. I think more, so it was better to be dismissed in this case.

Chen Zheng is a slim curtain, a confusing family, and indulging in vain people. He trusts clerks, is rich in family, but regards his marriage as a passerby. Although he is poor and embarrassed, he does not provide any relief. Eight of those who are despised and dismissed in this case.

Zhao Zhen was speechless and ordered Shao to be the original position, and to be the leader of Gaoyoujun, Wu Chong, Ju Zhenqing, Diaoyou, Lu Jingchu, Ma Zunzhao, Feng Jing and Wu Zhongfu also regained their old position.
Chapter completed!
