Chapter 54

The rules of dividing the accounts were agreed with Zhao Xingde long ago, and Wang Heng nodded quickly: "There are so many people who work hard to fight, it's fair." He looked around and said with a smile on his face: "Brothers come here, Kaizhou Village talks about the friendship of the landlords, and it's really worthy of giving more than 30,000 shi of military rations." Park Tieyan thought he was truly giving in and said anxiously: "The boss, in order to support the military rations, our village has lost even the food stored for the winter."

Zhao Xingde also smiled and said, "The boss is righteous, but brothers cannot let good people suffer losses, right? Wang Dazhu, don't refuse." He looked up at the Han army leader and shouted, "If you have no objection, you can come in and count the food, grass, money and grain first." The Han generals who strictly guarded the defense zone were naturally very happy. Not only did they get more than 10,000 guan, but each head level was 50 guan, which was a considerable income for the village. The Han generals who left the defense zone and rushed to rob the city were a little jealous. In the face of each other, the Fengzhou village leader Cao Gan shouted: "It's not fair, it's not fair!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xingde's eyes turned slightly, landed on him, and asked with a smile: "What do you mean by the Lord Cao's village?" Cao Gan felt cold behind his intuition, and forced himself to shout: "This head is fifty-six, without prior notice, I also killed many Khitans, but did not cut off the head. This is unfair!"

"Is that?" Zhao Xingde's face turned cold and said slowly, "At the time of Zhengmao, our army began to attack the city. At the time of Mao, we captured the northern wall of Kaizhou at one moment. At three o'clock, Wang Dazhu and Zhao informed all the troops to be sure to defend the defense, intercept the escaped Khitans, kill the enemy, and cut off their heads to be used to remember the merits. At the time of Cao, you should have been outside the southern city gate. Since you have not received the notice, where are you at the Mao time? Yelu Yuan, the commander of Kaizhou City, escaped from the southern city."

"This..." Cao Gan's black face turned into a color like a pork liver, and he couldn't speak.

"Dear brothers, everyone is raising the flag of uprising, doing a great achievement of driving the Han Dynasty." Zhao Xingde no longer cared about him, turned to everyone and said loudly: "The Liaodong Yi Banner has been in response to all the prefectures and counties, and the world is shaken. Scholars praised the common people and told each other, saying that all the Liaodong Han troops were righteous men who stood up to the sky. Since the siege of Kaizhou, the Han army has been greatly promoted. The people of Liaodong regarded our Han army as a benevolent and righteous army to save the people from water and fire. The Liao court was like a thorn in the back, treating us as thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh. The Han army is different from the past, and everyone has empathized with the differences between the past and the future. The kings and princes and generals.

Prime Minister, wouldn't you have a genital? Starting with the capture of Kaizhou today, our Han army clearly set up a chariot and horse to fight with the Liao court. Most of the camp leaders are behind the generals, and I believe that the two countries are fighting alone. They are talking about military orders like mountains and military disciplines like iron. When they hear drums, they advance. Even if there are swords, mountains and seas of fire, they retreat, and even if there are wealth and money everywhere, they will not take it. Taking the battle of Kaizhou as an example, if everyone defends the defense zone and blocks the Liao army with the trenches, even though the Khitan barbarians have the advantage of light cavalry, ten people cannot escape. They give up the defense zone, divert the way into the city, and let most of the Liao army in Kaizhou escape. "

Many Han generals showed shame, and Zhao Xingde slowed down and said, "Now they were just letting go of the Khitans. It doesn't matter. There are only hundreds of thousands of Khitan males who can ride horses to fight. If you can't kill this battle, you will keep a few thousand heads for the time being. Let's kill them again." He said with ease. Many Han soldiers laughed, as if the Khitan cavalry was really vulnerable. He heard Zhao Xingde's tone sternly say, "But if the enemy has a gap because of the lack of military orders, which in turn will put our army in danger. We Han brothers will shed a lot of blood and lose their heads in vain. Therefore, Zhao suggested that we should not blame the past, but from today on the strict marching orders, the army will fight. If there are any other people who give up the defense of the ground and violate the military orders, they will be killed without mercy!"

After saying that, he looked around the army and asked again: "From today on, you will be rewarded for any merits and punished for any mistakes. Do you have anything you don't want to?"

Just now, the outside of the state yamen was still noisy, and the northern style of September 9 was cold. Many people remembered the story that they had almost forgotten for a long time. A long time ago, the Han army was indeed a mountain of military orders, sweeping across Liaodong. It was just that the past was too old that everyone was a little indifferent to the military discipline. Most of the village leaders only thought about eating, drinking, defecating and urging the whole village to preserve their strength. As for defeating the Liao Kingdom and seizing wealth and fame from the battlefield, the king

The Marquis and Generals, who have won his wife and son, are just a distant dream. But now that Kaizhou has been conquered, the Han army has been besieged for more than two months, the Liao court has been unable to rescue him. Five thousand Khitan cavalry have been huddled in the city and were beaten. Finally, they fled in a hurry, leaving tens of thousands of Khitans and young khitans to bow their tails under the swords of the Han army. Maybe, the world has really changed. So, should the Han army change a step too? The golden scales are not the wind and thunder in the pond turn into dragons in a short time. Perhaps, the opportunity that several generations of the Han army could not hope for is right in front of us!

Wang Hengzhi stood under the prefecture yamen, looking at Zhao Xingde, and felt mixed feelings. The Han Army General's Mansion was determined to seize the Guannan of Suzhou, and then seize Fuzhou, Ningzhou, Shunhua City, Zhenhai Prefecture, and Muzhou, waiting for an opportunity to capture Liaoyang, so he dispatched most of the elite soldiers who were originally scattered in Taibai Mountain to Guannan of Suzhou. Most of the soldiers and generals who were old, weak and tired, could not bear to use. Therefore, Wang Hengzhi always held the mentality of sharing pressure for Suzhou, but unexpectedly conquered Kaizhou. In the battle of Kaizhou, the Han army defeated 5,000 Liao soldiers in a dignified manner and captured more than 30,000 Khitan old, weak, women and children, but actually turned against the enemy, and the momentum was much greater than that of Guannan of Suzhou. Under this encouragement, the mentality of the soldiers and generals of the Han village changed even more subtlely.

After a moment of silence, someone whispered loudly: "The Zhao family made sense!" "That's what it said!" "A bastard who doesn't listen to military orders, chop his head first!" The Han army almost forgot that Zhao De was not a member of the Han army. He began to tell the stories of his ancestors in a silence, showing off his prestige of the past. The new recruits were stunned and yearned for their future out of thin air. The leaders of each village were more practical and quietly reminded their subordinates to collect enemy heads from all over the city, while bringing their personal soldiers into the prefecture. The treasury with a mountain of money and grain was not common, and all the Han generals were amazed.

Although the rules for dividing the accounts proposed by Zhao Xingde were simple, calculating rewards and finally allocating money and grain was a meticulous job. These were done by military advisors and personal soldiers from each village. Zhao Xingde and Wang Hengzhi summoned the Han generals to discuss more important things in the prefecture yamen, which was to divide the defense zone, that is, divide the territory. After the matter of dividing the money and grain, Zhao Xingde's opinions suddenly became much more important in the Han army in Taibai Mountain. With the joint efforts of him and Wang Hengzhi, he seemed to be able to dominate the situation. Therefore, the meeting on dividing the territory was very smooth.

Since the Han army sieges to siege Kaizhou, the Liao Kingdom has concentrated its troops to defend Kaizhou. Khitan officials and civilians from nearby prefectures and counties have fled one after another. Many prefectures and counties such as Yanzhou, Muzhou, Zhengzhou, Hengzhou and other prefectures and counties have become homeless. These places have been swept away by the Han army and the Liao army twice, and are now sparsely populated. The Han army's villages are all in the mountains and there is no time to take over. If they delay any further, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom will take the opportunity to expand its power south. Therefore, Zhao Xingde asked Wang Hengzhi to summon all the generals and divide these prefectures and counties into defense areas on the map according to the distance from each village.

Most of the Han army's villages obtained were the original flat and fertile land, and they were prefectures and counties that had been built and reclaimed in the past. The new defense zone was more susceptible to harassment by the forces of the Liao and Jin. Zhao Xingde asked them to keep the old and weak in the mountains and cultivate them, and some elite soldiers and young soldiers were graze and cultivated in flat areas. The enemy's troops would be rejected, and the enemy would be more likely to be cleared, and then they would return to the mountains for a while after clearing the fields. The Xia State Camp obtained the mountains and forests along the Yalu River and its main tributaries of the water system, mostly wild lands that were rarely visited by the Han army.

The Xia State Camp will rely on logging to support tens of thousands of people. Not only will it cut down large wood for shipbuilding, but it will also sell ordinary wood charcoal to the Song State. The Xia State Camp now cuts most of the giant trees that have grown for decades or even hundreds of years, and the charcoal produced is of good quality, far exceeding the charcoal burned by mixed wood. In the Song State, the Central Plains and Jiangnan were cut down by cutting in previous dynasties, and the border forests in Hebei could not be cut down because of the Liao State. All parts of the Song State needed firewood and charcoal. Although carbohydrates could partially replace firewood, there was an unpleasant smoke when the carbohydrates burned, so wealthy and wealthy merchants still liked good charcoal, which pushed the price of charcoal to rise higher and higher. So two kilograms of high-quality wood

Charcoal can be exchanged for a pound of grain. Now the Xia State Camp not only uses Han people to cut wood and burn charcoal, but even the Jurchen tribes along the Yalu River were attracted to do this charcoal trading. The Xia State Camp also divided more than a thousand Khitans, preparing to move all to Laiyuan County and build a city with the prisoners of Goryeo. Li Sihai allowed the Goryeo family to redeem the prisoners, which not only eliminated the hidden dangers among the prisoners, but also exchanged nearly 3,000 stones of grain. Zhao Xingde planned to build fortresses in various Huishuiwans of the Yalu River in the future, guarding the timber yards and serving as a shelter for lumberjacks. He had already written to the National Guardian Mansion with Li Sihai, asking for the construction of naval gunships in Liaodong to patrol the river surface to protect these yards along the coast.

Although there was a small dispute between the Hanzhai generals, it was a happy situation in the end. At night, Wang Hengzhi, who was the defense zone in Kaizhou, held a banquet to entertain the Hanzhai owner who was eager to go to various prefectures and counties to grab territory. Everyone was drinking, some were drunk, and many people even understood that they came up with cups to get close to Zhao Xingde.

"General Zhao is very good at fighting, and he is fair in his own way. I, Dong Ren, will follow you to conquer the world in the future!" A drunken general said with his tongue.

Zhao Xingde raised his glass and smiled, "Zhao also wants Brother Dong to take care of him." Dong Renwang was already drunk and dragged his body down. Another general next to him said, "A person like General Zhao is so capable, but he is respectful to the wise and the wise." Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted, "The real person does not show his appearance, but is the dragon and phoenix among the people!" Several village leaders praised him in a slight compliment. Zhao Xingde only smiled and talked to them, and secretly reminded himself in his heart, but he must not be complacent. You must know that these words are mostly uncountable. Even if you are praised to heaven, the more you believe in the truth and forget about it, the heavier the fall in the future.

Away from him, Wang Hengzhi looked at the many Han generals surrounded Zhao De with a complicated expression. Liu Qinhu, the leader of Jiming Village, sat next to Wang Hengzhi and sighed: "The Prime Minister's meaning is just that the division of meat can make the upper and lower levels satisfied. I see that General Zhao has a knife in his palm and slaughtering the world is enough." Wang Hengzhi said regretfully: "It's a pity that he is not a member of my Han army."
