Recalling the tragic death of the Liao soldiers passing by, Yangzhou officials shook their heads and sighed with tragic expressions. [Just find the novel materials]

"The so-called raising troops is used for a thousand days. What the people are afraid of is that when wars come again, the official army abandons the city and leaves, and the people are ravaged." Zheng Bin sighed and asked, "I heard for a long time that Lord Zhao has a strong general under his command, the South China Sea Navy stationed in Yangzhou. I wonder how many people will be left to guard the camp. We, Yangzhou, have been selling iron, and are trying our best to help the water division's food and salary."

The faces of other Yangzhou officials showed expectation. Most of the imperial guards took their families to fight with their families and their families and would not be fast enough to walk 10 or 20 miles a day. Therefore, most of them would leave a lot of people to guard the camp and protect their families. For example, if the Huaixi Army was said to be a 100,000 army, it would be good to send 50,000 troops. The court naturally hoped that the more soldiers and horses they would go to fight, the better, but for Yangzhou locals, Zhao Xingde's troops always had a reputation of being used to fighting, the more people they guarded the camp, the better.

"The court only gave the navy 15,000 posts," Xu Xiaoyun hesitated and said, "If there are too many soldiers left, I'm afraid it's..."

The most respectful person in the army is very unusual to speak in front of the commander. Zhao Xingde's expression is still as usual. Zheng Bin looked at Xu Xiaoyun and recognized him as the iron-faced censor who caused a sensation in the world. Xu Xiaoyun could not tell the depth if there was nothing wrong. I wonder if his words represent the meaning of the Ministry of War. The Nanhai Navy should focus on managing the prefecture where the home port of the Nanhai Sea is located. The Henghai Army and the Huaixi Army respectively stationed the troops to check and balance each other to avoid too much.

Zhao Xingde nodded and said, "The Great Fish Navy should not underestimate the main force of the Navy. I'm afraid it's not enough to send all the conscription forces."

The Yangzhou officials present showed disappointment on their faces, Zhao Xingde turned his tone and smiled: "But we can help Yangzhou train soldiers and horses. It is better to teach people how to fish. The navy will have a battalion of soldiers and horses left by Yangzhou Port, and the officers and regiments who are left at Yangzhou Port can take turns to the port area for training. (If you find the novel material, go) However, our army's most heavy musket guns and pure crossbow camp, training for the long gun camp and sword and shield camp, Yangzhou regiment training can ask for advice from the Huaixi Army and the Henghai Army." He drank a sip of tea and looked at the Yangzhou officials present with a smile. Zheng Bin and others showed joy and hope Xiaoyun, and Zhou He and others were thinking about it, but Zhao Xingde's words were not leaked, even if anyone was interested, they could not catch his handle.

"What a 'it's better to teach people how to fish'" Zheng Bin bowed and said, "The lower official thanks Lord Zhao on behalf of this people."

"Everyone under General Zhao's command was ten." Xie Lingyun said excitedly: "How about the general training 3,000 soldiers for Yangzhou?"

"It is the responsibility of me to protect the country and the people." Zhao Xingde put down his teacup and smiled and said, "What should I say for granted."

Tan Zicheng and Xie Lingyun exchanged their eyes tacitly and bowed: "If there is anything in the local area, the navy only needs to keep the words of Yangzhou Prefecture, but we will never delay the work of Lord Zhao." Xie Lingyun even patted his chest and said: "The small place in Yangzhou does not care about big or small things, but listen to Lord Zhao's orders." He said this without being the imperial court official, but like a man in the martial arts world, and Xu Xiaoyun frowned.

"The navy is a guest from afar." Zhao Xingde also smiled and said with a polite smile: "Then I'll be in trouble."

With just a few words, he felt that local officials were much less chaotic and pedantic than before. In the past, the local officials of the prefectures were scholars appointed by the Ministry of Rites and were not allowed to be appointed as the pastor and the prefectures were soon relocated to serve as the pastor and the prefectures were moved every three years. Although they had the idea of ​​becoming an official and benefiting the other party, under the influence of the habits of the officialdom, most people who were willing to protect themselves and take prefectures as posts were the only one who was promoted to the next position. Therefore, the Liao army unanimously abandoned their official positions and fled. Nowadays, local officials are all recommended by local gentry, and the interests of the hometown are related to them. No matter what the purpose they are, they are much more eager to do things, and they are truly taking the land of one state and one county as their foundation in their management.*

Tan Zizai bowed and said, "There is another person who is unwilling to betrayal."

Zhao Xingde nodded and said, "Mr. Tan said that if Zhao can do it, he will never refuse."

"As Lord Zhao saw, although he was devastated and invisible, these are all distant worries. The mountains and seas of Yangzhou have always been both important pit transportation and sea trade. Now that the north is in decline, the vitality cannot be restored for a short time, the imperial court has moved south and occupied Luoyang. If the capital is moved back to Bianliang, it will be attacked on both sides. Therefore, it is unlikely that the north and south can transport transportation to the grand occasion of the past decades. The sea trade was cut off because of the rebellion of the pirates. Both paths cannot be understood, so the wealthy businessmen cannot see any hope. It will gradually leave this place and fall completely. So..." He looked at Zhao Xingde and stopped.

"So what?" Zhao Xingde asked, vaguely guessing in his heart.

"To be honest, Lord Zhao, the two household registrations in Huainan are only tens of thousands, but the taxes to the court are at the forefront of all the roads, all rely on the benefits of the prosperity of industry and commerce. Although Huainan is suffering from war, most of the aristocratic families avoid the disaster as soon as possible. After the Liao soldiers retreated, many people returned to Huainan. Everyone wanted to revitalize their hometowns, so they worked together to think of a way." Tan Zizai said sincerely, "The navy patrols Yang Fan, thousands of miles of the South China Sea, and the merchants in Huainan are preparing to raise funds to buy ships with full Song Dynasty properties to follow Lord Zhao's tail to borrow Lord Zhao's power to go to the South China Sea to settle the land and trade in the vassal states. I hope Lord Zhao will be able to achieve it."

"Oh?" Zhao Xingde asked, "How many ships do you have? How many people?"

"There are more than 20 ships and about 2,000 people." Tan Zizai saw that he did not refuse and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, all the supplies of the merchant fleet are solved by themselves and there is no need for special care from the navy. As long as the adults allow the merchant fleet to follow the navy fleet, the villains will never cause trouble to the navy." Tan Zizai said with a slight reassurance Xu Xiaoyun's face changed slightly. I guess this person must have benefits in the merchant fleet. He looked at Liu Gu, who was around him, and Ma Yuan smiled with a smile on his eyes and did not think he was offended Xu Xiaoyun. He took a deep breath and did not stand up and accused him of taking the opportunity to make an official position.

"Escorting the merchant ship is the responsibility of the navy." Zhao Xingde smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll take care of it inappropriately."

"It's easy to say," Zheng Bin smiled and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Zhao is humble, how can we be ungrateful?" Everyone in Yangzhou smiled and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. The porcelain and silk cloth of the tea workshop in the business war had already accumulated like mountains. For them, it is the most important thing to reopen the trade quickly.

For Zhao Xingde, the South China Sea Navy's expedition to Dashi war was barely enough, but there were many skills outside the war. The merchant fleet had to use the power of the navy to take advantage of the navy, and the navy should not use the power of the merchant fleet. The soldiers and civilians were one, but the regulations for going out to sea had to be agreed upon. Now the sea storm is dangerous. It is said that the South China Sea is full of pirates, even ordinary merchant ships in Song State would carry bodyguards and sailors, and they were strong people. This force would be greatly enhanced if a little rectification was made.

Xu Xiaoyun looked at Zhao Xingde with a closer look at him and wanted to see clearly what he was thinking, but he still couldn't see through it. Zhao Xingde's clear eyes were obviously out of public intention and there was no word or deed that would make people seize the blame. However, his 100,000 elite troops had already matched the court and controlled the thousand-person household registration in Henan and Jingdong. The Nanhai Navy formed a strong alliance with the Southeast Prefecture with interests as a link. Even without the Xia Kingdom, Zhao Xingde's own power was enough to worry. Domineering generals like Jin Sai were like jackals and tigers. Such people must have killed them to eliminate future troubles. Chen Shaoyang still relied so much on him.

No matter how suspicious the court is, Zhao Xingde's power is, the real interests are the most important for them. The military discipline of the South China Sea Navy is strict, Zhao Xingde and Yang Fan agreed to train the army for them without any intention of intervening. For Yangzhou, the lesson of the imperial guards who fled without fighting was too profound. Almost everyone did not have much hope for the Huaixi Army. Almost unanimously agreed that protecting the territory and safe people must rely on local regiments to train well. Chuzhou Yanding is the best example. Huainan has always been a place to use his skills and a place to produce elite troops. Then, with Zhao Xingde's help from the Liao army, he also has the power to resist.

The Nanhai Navy and Yangzhou local areas had a very happy conversation and gradually entered the "not important" matter.

"Yangzhou City has been completely demolished by the Liao people. The prefecture is preparing to build a new city." Zheng Bin picked up the tea and took a sip and said in an educational tone: "I heard that Lord Zhao had built three thousand Nanshan City in Liaodong to block the 100,000 Liao people's army. Is it a good idea to build a city and defend the city? Can you give me some advice?"

"Sir, I'm sorry," Zhao Xingde did not answer immediately, "Why are the Liao soldiers still broken walls?"

Zheng Bin, Tan Zizai and others exchanged glances and smiled bitterly: "I'm sure that Lord Zhao. The devastated people in this state are displaced and cannot get a few drops of oil and water even if they try their best to plunder them. Most of the wealth depends on local tribes and wealthy businessmen to support them. Fortunately, the taxes of the court are twenty miles apart. If the city wall is circumference is twenty miles long, the money is not a little bit. It will be not so easy to make local tribes and merchants pay in addition to taxes."

"Yes." Tan Zizai also sighed and agreed with Zheng Bin's statement, "It would be good to be able to complete the two taxes of the court." The gentry who left the city with a heartless heart were all poisoned. Now most of the gentry in this state had plans to escape and escape, but they would pay for the city walls. Zheng Bin and others were recommended by the gentry and could not break up and offend people, so they had to drag it on like this. Zheng Bin taught Zhao Xingde how to build a city. He was just polite.
