Monument Yangmen

Chapter 500 Millions of Soldiers and Civilians Live and Die Together

Yang Qi said firmly: "Whether this battle can be won or not is unknown. What happened in Shengzhou was done by myself, Yang Yansi. I can't involve my father and the Datong army."

Wang Gui put down the teacup in his hand, and solemnly said: "Qilang, the matter of Shengzhou is no longer yours alone. From the moment you show up in Shengzhou, it is the matter of the entire Yang family. .

You must know that the Yang family is now in Daizhou, but you are the governor of Daizhou, and your words and deeds represent the entire Yang family.

It even represents those of us generals attached to the Yang family.

As far as Uncle Wang is concerned, Uncle Wang's family is one with your Yang family.

One prospers all, one loses all. "

Yang Qi shook his head helplessly, and said: "This battle with the Liao people is a war between me and the Liao people, and does not involve the Song Dynasty. But once the Datong Army participates, it will have something to do with the Song Dynasty.

I don't want to hand over the hard work of defeating Fengzhou and Shengzhou to the court. "

Wang Gui said sternly: "Of course, the imperial court couldn't take down Fengzhou and Shengzhou, but you beat them down. Naturally, they can't be easily handed over to the imperial court."

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled, "You and I disagree with handing over Fengzhou and Shengzhou to the imperial court, but will my father agree?"

"This……"

Hearing Yang Qi's words, Wang Gui looked a little troubled.

Wang Gui and Lao Yang have been partners for decades, so they naturally understand Lao Yang's temper.

Seeing the embarrassment on Wang Gui's face.

Yang Qi smiled and said: "So, as long as the Datong Army doesn't participate, no one can take away Fengzhou and Shengzhou from me. Even if the imperial court uses the name of righteousness, it can't suppress me."

"Shichiro..."

Wang Gui wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yang Qi raising his hand.

Yang Qi waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, it's useless to talk too much. Take the Datong army back to Daizhou quickly. Once I start a war with the Liao Kingdom here, the imperial court might stab me in the back. When the time comes I don't ask you to help me resist the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but I only ask you to help me pester me for a few days."

Yang Qi's attitude is very firm.

Wang Gui could only let out a long sigh, and said: "Forget it, the old man will take him back. However, with these improvised soldiers and horses in your hands, how can you win the Liao Kingdom without the help of the Datong Army?"

Yang Qi said calmly: "I have given orders to all the people in Fengzhou and Shengzhou. In our two states, millions of soldiers and civilians live and die together. If the Liao people want to win Shengzhou and Fengzhou, they can only kill them. Just us."

"Sigh~"

Wang Gui gasped, without saying a word, he cupped his fists at Yang Qi, got up and prepared to leave.

Yang Qi seemed to have thought of something, and after Wang Gui stood up, he asked: "Uncle Wang, according to my subordinates' investigations, after Guo Da's troops were defeated at the border of Fengzhou and Shengzhou, they fled into Daizhou with a hundred people. I don't know if you found out?"

Wang Gui was stunned, and said: "I met you, Mr. Ling personally beheaded that traitor Guo Da."

Yang Qi was overjoyed and said: "I also ask Uncle Wang to pickle Guo Da's head after he goes, and send it to me. It will be of great use to me."

Wang Gui nodded and said, "Understood."

In this way, Wang Gui rushed to Shengzhou aggressively with [-] Datong troops, but left Shengzhou dejectedly.

Send Wang Gui away.

Yang Qi rode to Chenjiakou.

Today, the construction site in Chenjiakou has gathered 40 people.

With 40 people in the dark, it almost filled the Chenjiakou construction site.

When Yang Qi arrived at the Chenjiakou construction site, it was just in time for dinner.

The cooking sheds on the construction site stretched for nearly two miles.

The batter was boiling in the big pot, and there were some wild vegetables floating in it.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt, and the people eat it sweetly.

When Yang Qi found Yang Da on the construction site, Yang Da was leading Chen Yao, and the two of them were holding a big bowl, squatting among the common people, eating delicious food.

Yang Qi had a gluttonous mouth, and he couldn't get used to the simple meals on the construction site.

Yang Qi casually grabbed a piece of dog's tail grass, stuffed it into his mouth, and sat down next to Yang Da with a plop.

When Chen Yao saw Yang Qi, he was about to stand up and salute.

Yang Qi waved his hand, signaling him to sit down.

Yang Da looked as usual, while eating the batter, he asked casually: "Send Uncle Wang away?"

Yang Qi nodded, and asked in surprise, "You guessed it a long time ago?"

Yang Dale chuckled, holding chopsticks folded from branches in his hand, and pointed to the common people all over the place.

"People here include people from Fengzhou, Shengzhou, and even Dangxiang people, but they just can't see a person from Daizhou. This alone is enough to prove that you don't want people from Daizhou to interfere here. things.

It even included the war with the Liao Kingdom. "

Yang Qile said: "Brother, you understand me."

Yang Da stared and scolded: "I know everyone. Without the help of the Datong Army, how can we fight the Liao people with the temporary conscripts in our hands? All the Liao people are good at fighting. And your soldiers and horses, Eighty percent of them are a group of recruits who have never fought. How can we win against them?"

Yang Qi said calmly: "If you can't win, you have to fight. There are millions of soldiers and civilians in Fengzhou and Shengzhou. If the Liao people are capable, they will be killed."

When Yang Da heard this, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked at the 40 people gathered in Chenjiakou.

After a long while, he spit out two words.

"You are cruel!"

Yang Qi laughed and said, "The people of Liao should hope that they can kill me in this battle. Otherwise, the Liao Kingdom will eventually fall into my hands. Hahaha..."

Yang Da threw the bowls and chopsticks in his hand onto Yang Qi, and cursed: "You crazy."

After cursing this sentence, he left without looking back.

Yang Qi raised his voice and asked Yang Da's back: "What are you doing?"

"fortification!"

Yang Qi smiled even more proudly when he heard this.

This is brother.

Knowing that you are going crazy, I am still willing to accompany you to go crazy.

In a good mood, Yang Qi turned around and asked Chen Yao, "Chen Yao, how high is the city wall built?"

Chen Yao, who was licking the paste sticking to the wall of the bowl, raised his head subconsciously when he heard Yang Qi's question, and ended up with the paste sticking to his nose.

Chen Yao did not wipe off the batter, but solemnly reported to Yang Qihui: "It has already been built to a height of two feet. However, General Yanping said that the building should be at least four feet high.

The people are now divided into two groups, and they are building the city day and night. "

"Two feet?"

The speed of this fortification can already be said to be very fast.

Facts have proved that there is indeed power in numbers.

The two-foot-high city wall has been raised, and Yang Qi's confidence in resisting the Liao people has increased by two points.

He encouraged Chen Yao a few words, and left the construction site.

After leaving the construction site, Yang Qi went to inspect the barracks.

There are now [-] soldiers and horses in the barracks.

In addition to the revival army, there are still [-] soldiers and horses recruited by Yang Qi from Fengzhou, and [-] soldiers and horses temporarily added in Shengzhou.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were hoarded in the barracks, and the scene was very spectacular.

The [-] revival rangers that had already been replenished were all handed over to Shang Qingzi for training.

Although Shang Qingzi is a general who became a monk halfway, he has led the cavalry in the northwest for more than two years, so he has some experience in cavalry training.

Of course, the main reason is that Yang Qi has only Shang Qingzi who can be used to train the revival rangers.

There were [-] infantry left, of which [-] were Fuxing infantry, and the other [-], Yang Qi gave another designation, called the Jin Army.

These [-] infantry were temporarily handed over to Yang Wu for training.

In order to cooperate with Yang Qi's work, Yang Qi also sent Peng Pai, who had just arrived from Daizhou, to Yang Wu.

The method of training scarecrows that Peng Pai is familiar with is very practical in the army.

After Yang Wu learned of Peng Pai's method of training troops, he immediately mixed with Peng Pai happily.

Peng Pai, who is familiar with him, also began to develop a scarecrow in the army by taking advantage of his position.

At present, one-third of the supervisors and soldiers in the army have been developed into scarecrows by him.

Yang Qi patrolled around the barracks with a sad expression on his face.

Then Yang Wu was driven out of the barracks by the angry.

Yang Wu felt that Yang Qi was disgusted with his method of training soldiers.

But in fact, Yang Qi was lamenting the pawn's equipment.

Now, among the soldiers and horses under Yang Qi's command, only the Fuxing Rangers barely got together a complete set of leather armor, a scimitar, and two horses.

Fuxing infantry and Jin army infantry have only one sword, but they are of different sizes, not standard.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a group of refugees.

Think about gear.

Yang Qi hurried to the temporary weapon foundry in Chenjiakou.

After Yang Qi pacified Fengzhou and Shengzhou, he immediately ordered Ma Mian to summon all the artisans in the two states, and at the same time seconded a group of artisans from Zhejia.

Gathered 3000 people and began to forge weapons around the clock.

Half of the iron used in the forging of weapons was smelted from the weapons and armor captured by Yang Qi.

The other half was iron ore transported by Yang Qi from Fengzhou.

The iron mines in Fengzhou are almost semi-open-pit, and the iron content is very rich.

Yang Qi sent people to dig up and transport it to Chenjiakou day and night.

And there are coal mines in Shengzhou, so Yang Qi decisively uses local materials.

Currently, there are two types of forged weapons in the weapon workshop.

One is a horizontal knife and the other is an arrow.

The horizontal knife is a standard equipment for every soldier.

The arrow is a sharp weapon for defending the city.

After Yang Qi entered the workshop, he saw the blacksmiths chanting and beating iron.

Yang Qi patrolled around, frowning slowly.

He recruited masters from the horse face and weapon workshops.

"How many weapons can the workshop produce in a day?"

Ma Mian gestured with his hands, and the master of the weapons workshop said with a simple smile: "Three hundred qualified horizontal knives and four thousand arrowheads can be produced every day."

Yang Qi frowned and said, "Why are there so few?"

Ma Mian lowered his head dejectedly.

The smile on the face of the master of the weapons workshop froze, and he said, "General, although there are many horizontal knives made every day, most of them are unqualified."

"Unqualified?"

"Yes, basically except for us craftsmen from Zhejia, there are only two or three of the rest who can make qualified horizontal knives, and the rest can't."

Yang Qi frowned deeply, "I just walked around inside and saw that you guys obviously have special skills when forging weapons, why don't you try to teach them?"

The master of the weapons workshop smiled dryly, rubbed his hands, and said: "The subordinates basically use untold secrets. So..."

The ancients attached great importance to family status.

It is obvious that the master of the weapon workshop is unwilling to pass on this forging skill to other craftsmen.

In this way, Yang Qi has no way to force others.

Yang Qi pondered for a while, thought of a compromise, and said: "Look at this, your secret method of forging horizontal knives is basically two processes of forging and quenching.

Why don't you pass on the secret method of forging to them and let them concentrate on forging the blade embryo.And you and your senior brothers and apprentices are responsible for forging the knife embryo into a finished knife.

As for the inlaying of the hilt and jaw at the back, it is better to leave it to some careful women.

Divided into three processes in this way, the working hours can be shortened, and more qualified weapons can be quickly forged. "

The craftsmanship of forging horizontal knives in Zhejia has been passed down from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Tang Dao's prestige is not something to brag about.

Even many elites in the Song Dynasty now use Tang swords.

When it comes to Tang Dao, I have to say a few more words.

The so-called Tang knife does not refer to a kind of knife in general.

It is a general term for four kinds of knives.

One is called Zhan Dao, one is called Heng Dao, one is called Mo Dao, and one is called Yi Dao.

The four kinds of knives mentioned above are collectively referred to as Tang knives.

Among them, the representatives of Tang Dao are Mo Dao and Heng Dao.

The craftsmanship of Mo Dao has been lost, so what most people think of as Tang Dao is actually Heng Dao.

The Ori family has inherited horizontal sword casting.

The cast horizontal knife is full of toughness and amazing lethality.

Yang Qi asked the master of the weapon workshop to hand over the forging process, but he obviously still hesitated.

Half of the toughness of the horizontal knife is due to forging.

Yang Qi withdrew the jade tablet that had been hanging around his neck from his neck, placed it in front of the master of the weapon workshop, and said coldly: "Now I just want to forge the secret method, not the trick of quenching. And I can I can assure you that they know the secret method of forging, and they will not pass it on."

After seeing the jade plaque on Yang Qi's neck, the master of the weapons workshop was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly, "I understand."

A change in address shows that the master of the weapon workshop knows what the jade plaque on Yang Qi's neck represents.

Yang Qi changed the process of the weapon workshop, and filled in another 2000 people for the weapon workshop.

The output of the weapon workshop has been doubled.

In one day, the output of horizontal knives increased to [-], and the output of arrowheads increased to [-].

At the same time, Yang Qi sent another group of women to start adding arrow clusters and shafts to the back of the arrow.

After Yang Qi sorted out everything in Chenjiakou as a whole, all the work speeded up a lot.

As for Yang Qi himself, he mobilized more than 100 scarecrows and hid in the barracks.

Everyone in Chenjiakou is gearing up to prepare for the battle, waiting for the arrival of the Liao people.

However, Yang Qi did not wait for the Liao people, but a group of unexpected visitors.
