Tianjin Wei, port.

As five large ships sailed in, a burst of cheers erupted from the crowd, and Yang Lin put down the pedal and returned to the city he built with his own hands.

Enclosing the land and building a city, what a spirit, in just one year, it has begun to take shape. Who would not be amazed by Shaozai's vision, this is indeed a natural port, and it developed rapidly after taking back Youyan.

You must know that when the city was being built, the entire land of Youyan was under the control of the Khitans. It can be said that the construction of Tianjin Guard began under the eyes of the Khitans.

Yang Lin stepped off the bow of the ship and looked back. Under the bright sunshine, the sea water came in waves. The port was crowded with people, and he didn't know how many people came to greet him.

Tianjin Wei will soon become the second Mizhou port. Yang Lin secretly calculated in his heart that the location of this place is not inferior to Mizhou. Because Youyan was occupied by the Khitan in the former, it became the handover between the two countries. The Khitans often brought

The strong and powerful people in Yan came to plunder and plunder. Now Tianjinwei has transformed into an inland area, far away from the border. It also has the Great Wall and Youyan Junzhou as a screen, and its safety has been guaranteed.

As long as this Song-Jin war can hold on to the Great Wall, repel the Jurchens, and attract those merchants who are still waiting to watch, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of this place in the future.

Yang Lin walked towards everyone, and the generals and civil servants of Tianjin Guard came forward and greeted them with fists in their hands. Yang Lin responded with a smile, and after taking only three steps, he pointed in the distance and said: "When Youyan was lost, I, the Song Dynasty, planted countless trees in Hebei.

, the purpose is to replace the Great Wall at the border and resist foreign cavalry. Nowadays, the border troops and horses are strong, and these centuries-old trees can be used as shipbuilding materials, and they can be used locally."

Tianjin used to be the hardest-hit area in the Khitan Grass Valley. The tall trees hugging each other on both sides of the port are straight and towering. They must have been growing for at least several decades. The trees in the endless dense forest are neat and orderly, obviously artificially planted.

These officials were originally excited to take him to a newly opened restaurant to meet him, but when they heard that Yang Shaozai was so diligent, they all became serious and listened carefully.

Yang Lin looked around and said: "Planting trees was originally a good idea, but now the wind direction has changed, and these trees have become too dense. Many of them occupy fertile fields, leaving people with no land to cultivate. They also block official roads and act like roadblocks.

It’s time to clean up.”

The official road to the port actually has to go through a dense forest, but the road in the middle is quite wide, and a lot of giant trees have been cut down. This was only able to be cut down after Yang Lin petitioned for it. In order to prevent the Khitans from going south, for hundreds of years

It was really not easy for the monarchs and ministers who came to Bianliang during the Song Dynasty, and even specially enacted legislation to protect these big trees.

Unintentionally, a giant tree that was originally a hindrance to the development of Hebei became a good material for building ships, bridges, houses, and weapons.

After crossing the dense forest, everyone gathered around Yang Lin and came to a restaurant built by the sea. It had white walls, gray tiles, and red paint and vermilion railings, which was somewhat elegant.

After going upstairs, Yang Lin took off his official robe and only wore a light white shirt. It was obvious that he was in high spirits. Next to him were two women, a master and a maid. The maid's skin was as smooth as snow and her figure was slim. Although

She is pretty and can be regarded as an ordinary beauty.

The tall woman next to her actually towered over the many men present. Her snow-white silk sleeves were narrow and close-fitting, and she was tied with a gold embroidered belt. Her waist was slim and firm, and her breasts were round.

Flirting outside.

The officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty was very popular, and there was no dehumanizing etiquette like that of later generations. It was normal for women to show up in public. Everyone thought it was normal, but Yang Shaozai brought his own female relatives, so the singers and dancers he had prepared did not need to come on stage. After sitting down, Yang Lin

Instead of continuing to talk about government affairs, he started chatting with the civil and military officials present.

This time is different from Mizhou. If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Lin will stay here for a long time until the matter in Beijing comes to an end. In other words, he has plenty of time and is not in a hurry.

After all, Tianjin Wei is a newly built new city. The officials here are not of high rank, and the court is set up according to the county seat. Yang Lin's official position is too high, and everyone unconsciously feels a little unnatural. Yang Lin took the initiative to chat with them, and then everyone was allowed to let go.

Opened up.

Yang Shaozai has a great reputation, and there are rumors that he is not easy to get along with, and often beats and scolds his colleagues. The officials of Tianjin Guard were originally afraid of him, but who knew that after getting along with him, Yang Shaozai was kind to others, like a spring breeze, and did not become arrogant because of his high position and power.

On the contrary, they are very close.

After a while, the wine and food were served. On the banquet, cups were exchanged, and several generals slowly lost their restraint and livened up the atmosphere.

Speaking of the Jurchen Tatars, a general patted his thigh and said, "Have you ever heard, Mr. Zai, that the Jurchen Tatars are going to attack Yuzhou?"

Yang Lin naturally knew, and nodded, and a burst of laughter broke out around him. Magistrate Hu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Weizhou City was built by Li Keyong in the late Tang Dynasty. It is not only strong and strong, but its tiles and stones have a luster that can be seen in the face."

Datong is not as good as Datong. The Jurchen Tatars are so ignorant that they actually think that Yuzhou will be easier to fight than Datong."

"Not good!" Yang Lin's heart moved and he couldn't help shouting.

Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at Yang Lin blankly. The cheerful atmosphere at the banquet was swept away. Xu Yuenu also stared at him. He didn't know what Yang Lin, who had a gloomy face, was thinking about.

"Weizhou is so strong, and Wanyan Aguda is not a fool. Would he abandon Yunzhou Mansion, where Yelu Yanxi is hidden, and go to attack Weizhou instead? This is probably a Tatar plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west. They will turn around from Yuzhou.

To the east is Youyan Yizhou Mansion!"

"The Jurchen Tatars are eager to take revenge, but Yelu Yanxi and his Khitans prefer to stay in peace with the imperial court, and they are like frightened birds. I think they probably reached some kind of armistice agreement privately, and they want to attack Youyan first to avenge the Eastern Route Army of the Jin Kingdom."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. No one had expected this. As the hatred between Liao and Jin deepened, Yelu Yanxi was in Yunzhou, and everyone thought that the Jurchens would attack Yunzhou Prefecture to the death.

Nowadays, the weather is unbearably hot, and the Jurchens are ferocious beasts emerging from the ice and snow. They don't think they will go south in this kind of weather. The border officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty generally believe that the war will start in the third autumn.

But what is a surprise attack? It means that when others think you are going west, you turn around and attack east. The more Yang Lin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had long been familiar with the map of the Youyun area. Even though he had removed the deputy marshal of troops and horses,

Hebei Hedong Heishan's title of pacifier, but Yang Lin didn't take it seriously at all. He still stood up and gave orders as if he was a field marshal.

"Quick horses are coming out, notifying Yizhou Prefecture to strengthen the city defense, sending more light cavalry sentries to patrol, calling on the villagers of Youyan to form a wall to protect themselves; ordering Bazhou, Gu'an, Fanyang, and Laishui garrison to garrison
