Monument Yangmen

Chapter 664 Who Counts?god!
When Yang Qi was home, his wife and children were hot on the kang, the four mansions in the Northwest were extraordinarily peaceful.

Since the arrival of a group of useful talents from Dasongkeng, everything in the four northwestern prefectures has been proceeding in an orderly manner.

Not counting the harvest, the population alone has doubled.

In ancient times, there were no entertainment items. At night, couples hid at home and mainly made human beings.

The lack of medical problems has created a very low survival rate of newborns.

Kou Zhun attached great importance to this matter. He asked Yang Qi for a handwriting, personally selected a team of thousands of old women, and sent them to the medical school of Datong Academy for training.

So far, more than 600 stable women have been trained and distributed to various prefectures and counties.

These stable women not only have first-class delivery skills, but also some simple obstetrics and gynecology operations, as well as some medical skills.

Medical problems kept up, and the survival rate of newborns began to increase rapidly.

In addition, the four northwestern prefectures have policies to encourage births, as well as free education policies.

It costs almost nothing to raise a child, and there is even money to be made.

There was a woman who gave birth to quadruplets and received a big red envelope of 100 taels of silver directly in the Yamen.

The whole family got rid of poverty and became rich in one fell swoop.

All in all, the number of newborns in the four northwestern prefectures has been rising in a straight line.

According to Kou Zhun's statistics, the number of newborns has reached 200 million, and it is expected that by the end of the year, it will catch up with the total population of the four Northwest prefectures.

Kou Zhun sent a letter to Yang Qi tentatively, asking Yang Qi if he would stop the policy of encouraging births, but Yang Qi rejected it.

Yang Qi's reply to Kou Zhun was straightforward.

"How many people are there? Not enough! Not enough! We have to take a long-term view, and our goal is to give birth to a hundred million people."

Kou Zhun was shocked by Yang Qi's goal.

We must know that today, the population of Song Dynasty has barely reached 5000 million.

When Yang Qi opened his mouth, it was twice as big as that of Da Song.

With a large population, it is natural to grab territory.

Rob who?

Kou Zhun doesn't care.

As long as Yang Qi has the mind to grab the territory, Kou Zhun will have unlimited motivation.

Kou Zhun also hoped that Yang Qi would best grab the throne.

In short, under the urging of Kou Zhun, the officials of the four northwestern prefectures are also working wailingly.

Everything in the four northwestern prefectures is booming just like the population of the four northwestern prefectures.

There is a thriving side everywhere.

In comparison, the frontiers of the Song and Liao countries seemed somewhat depressed.

It was clearly midsummer, but the frontiers of Song and Liao seemed barren.

There is no one inhabited within a thousand miles, and it seems to have been baptized by drought.

After the baptism of the war, the wild grass has become like a dog gnawed, one piece is missing here, and one piece is missing there.

If anyone turns over the bare ground, they will definitely be able to see dense bones.

The only exception is a reed marsh outside the garrison camp in Datong Prefecture, Liao Kingdom.

The river that traverses Datong Mansion in the Liao Kingdom is not turbulent, like a wild horse being appeased, slowly moving forward on the flat ground.

The river is divided into countless strands on the uneven ground, nourishing the reeds along the river, forming a reed marsh covering an area of ​​[-] mu.

In the reeds, grass chickens are criss-crossing, fish and shrimp are jumping on the river surface, and wild ducks are connected in a large piece on the river surface, as if covering the river surface with a layer of quilt.

On the grass on the shore, wild duck eggs, bird eggs, and wild eggs can be seen everywhere.

This is a treasure trove of rich products and fat fish and shrimp.

Liao people seldom dig it, and even avoid it intentionally or unintentionally.

The Han people in the Liao region rumored that there were immortals living in it, and anyone who went in and disturbed the immortals' meditation would not end well.

Liao people rumored that a demon god who betrayed Changshengtian was buried inside. Although the demon god died, the power of the demon god was thrown away.Anyone who touches here will be devoured by the demon god.

Generally speaking, this place is a forbidden place and cannot be approached.

However, a dozen hungry and crazy Liao people wanted to break into this forbidden area.

Left and right are dead, instead of starving to death, it is better to be a full ghost before the temporary.

They were a group of outlaws who were routed on the battlefield.

"Brother, I heard that there is a demon god buried here, do we really want to go in?"

The cowardly Liao people held a knife in their hands and stood outside the reeds trembling.

The leader of the Liao people had a dark face and scolded: "What are you afraid of? There is a saying in the Han people that scars the size of a bowl are lost on the head. We are almost starving to death. Why don't we go in and make a dash? A way to survive. If there is no demon god inside, we can occupy this place, have children here, and occupy the mountain as king."

The rest of the Liao people supported the idea of ​​the leader Liao people.

"Brother is right..."

"Listen to elder brother, if it weren't for elder brother, we would have died at the hands of Song people in Lingqiu."

"..."

The timid Liao people said timidly: "This place is not far from Datong Mansion, we don't need to take risks, maybe we can go to the guard of Datong Mansion..."

"Bah! I heard that the guard of the Datong Mansion was originally from the Song Dynasty. He only accepts slaves from the Han people, and he hates us Liao people the most. We are deserters. If we go to join him, it will be better."

The leader of the Liao people hit the cowardly Liao people with the scimitar in his hand, "Go ahead and clear the way."

"Brother!"

"Come on!"

Under the coercion of the leader Liao people, the timid Liao people tremblingly walked into the reeds.

More than a dozen people slowly disappeared into the reeds.

"Puffling~"

"Ah! There is a ghost!"

"Fuck! That's a pheasant. Go!"

"I...I'm afraid..."

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you."

"..."

"There is...a road ahead..."

More than a dozen Liao people went deep into the reed marsh for more than a mile, and found a six-foot-wide road in the reed marsh.

The reeds on the avenue have obviously been cleaned up artificially, and they are trampled hard.

The leader of the Liao people groped along the avenue, with a sneer on the corner of their mouths, "Obviously there are people living here... Hehehe... It seems that the legend of the demon god is deceiving.

Kill along the avenue, kill all the people inside, and we will occupy this place in the future.At that time, go grab a few more women, and you can live a happy life in it.

No one can control us anymore. "

More than a dozen Liao people nodded excitedly.

This time, it was replaced by the Liao people who led the way.

A group of people fumbled towards the end of the road.

Along the avenue, after turning more than a dozen corners, a large expanse of land appeared before their eyes.

In the middle of the open field, there is a majestic building.

"temple?"

The leader of the Liao people looked at the palace-like building in shock and muttered to themselves.

The reason why the leading Liao people characterized the palace in front of them as a temple was because the palace in front of them had obvious religious overtones.

The architectural style is a bit weird, with boulders as the base, giant wood as the pillars, and domes.

Red and white are often used in buildings.

The white ones are the base, and the red ones are mostly for decoration.

Many of these red decorations are flame-shaped.

The palace was kept very clean, but there was no trace of incense.

Not a single living creature could be seen.

The closer it was to the palace, the more bloody smell it could smell.

"Brother?"

"what happened?"

"I am a little scared."

"afraid of what?"

"There's no one here..."

"No talent is good! If there is someone, we have to fight. I smell blood, and someone should help us deal with the people here. Hehehe... We can take this palace without any effort, and treat it as ours in the future. big tent."

After saying this, a group of people arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Oh!"

The leading Liao people kicked the cowardly Liao people.

The timid Liao people rolled several times on the ground and rolled into the palace.

The rest of the people filed in.

Everyone entered the palace and was stunned by the luxury inside.

All the decorations in the palace are basically golden and yellow.

Pounce on it and take a bite.

From the taste, they can be sure that the things inside are forged from real gold and silver.

The Liao people were going crazy with excitement.

There is not only a big palace, but also a large amount of gold and silver. The happiness came so fast, they couldn't believe it.

"Hahaha... With these gold and silver, even if we don't stay here, we can become masters when we go outside."

"Cheers!"

More than a dozen Liao people gathered together to have a carnival of singing and dancing.

They seem to have seen a happy life beckoning to them.

They seem to have seen cattle and sheep in the wind blowing grass, and the white flocks are like clouds in the sky.

That is their flock, that is their property, that is the symbol of their status as landlords.

However, they didn't see that groups of armored soldiers quietly appeared in the palace where people entered everywhere in the palace.

"kill!"

"Puff puff~"

A series of crossbows burst out.

Arrows covered them one by one.

More than a dozen Liao people fell to the ground one after another.

The smiles on their faces haven't melted yet, still hanging on their cheeks.

"Drag it out and bury it."

Yue Sheng lifted his visor, revealed a resolute face, and gave orders coldly.

Without any hesitation, the cavalry soldiers carried out Yue Sheng's order decisively.

Meng Liang and Du Qing approached Yue Sheng. Du Qing lowered his voice and said, "If we kill these people, will it be exposed?"

Meng Liang shook his head and said, "No! These people must have entered this place by mistake. There are rumors spread by the Manichaeists, and ordinary people dare not approach this place."

Yue Sheng frowned, and said coldly: "This place should be a main altar of the Manichaeism, and people from the Manichaeism should often send people here. Let's clean up the Manichaeists here, and there is no guarantee that people who come in from outside The Manichaeists will not find out. Therefore, we must strengthen our vigilance.

Send out all the scouts and guard the exits everywhere. Once anyone approaches, kill them all.It must not be exposed until our mission is completed. "

"understand!"

"Send someone to the Datong Mansion of the Liao Kingdom again, and ask General Yang Si to see when his plan will start. We can't stay here for too long."

"understand!"

"Has the person sent to inform Huhou come back?"

Meng Liang nodded and said: "I just came back. Hu Hou asked us to search all the gold and silver here and transport them back. According to the rules in the army, we own [-]% of the captured gold and silver. As for the Manichaeism main altar, Huhou asked us not to destroy it, and he will send someone to take it later."

Yue Sheng said: "Then do as Huhou ordered."

Next, Meng Liang began to search for gold and silver in the temple with the soldiers of the Cavalry Army and the soldiers of the Cavalry Army Reserve.

The gold and silver treasures piled up in the warehouse, they have ordered people to pack them and send them back.

All that remains is the gold and silver that adorns the temples.

When the Manicheans built this temple, they probably had ulterior motives, so they used a lot of gold and silver in it.

Just the collection of these gold and silver is a huge wealth.

When it was dark, Du Qing led a group of people out of the reed marsh quietly and ran towards Datong Mansion of the Liao Kingdom.

A group of people took advantage of the moonlight to reach Datong Mansion in Liao Kingdom.

The garrison of Datong Mansion of the Liao State was stationed three miles outside the city.

It covers a large area and has a very wide horse farm.

Not far from the racecourse, there is a boulder with a secret cave behind it.

After Du Qing and his men hid the horse, they got into the secret cave.

There was already someone waiting in the secret cave, it was the man with the scarred face.

"Du Yingzheng!"

Seeing Du Qing, the scar-faced man hurriedly got up to salute.

Du Qing waved his hand, sat in front of the man with the scarred face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about those empty etiquettes, I'm here to talk to you about serious matters. How are you preparing? When will it be launched?
Someone broke into our hidden reed marsh today, and there will be no guarantee that there will be more people in the future.Once we are exposed, all your plans will be in vain.Your generals will be in danger at any time. "

The man with the scar face nodded solemnly, and said, "I came here today to tell you about this. We have already arranged everything in the camp. We can launch an attack tomorrow."

"When exactly?"

"Tomorrow night!"

"Where do we get in and out?"

The man with the scar face said: "The east gate of the camp, and the soldiers and horses belonging to Han Derang are all stationed at the east gate. Once we start the fire, everyone's eyes will be attracted to us. At that time, you will just be able to enter through the east gate. Get in from behind them and catch them off guard."

"Tomorrow night, East Gate?!"

Du Qing confirmed again.

The man with the scar face nodded.

Du Qing stood up, cupped his fists and said, "I'll take the news back right away."

The man with the scar face got up and returned the salute.

As soon as Du Qing left, the man with the scar face quietly crawled out from the secret cave.

Then he looked in the right direction, quietly returned to the camp, and finally got into a big tent.

In the big tent, Yang Dama was sitting with a golden knife, saw the man with the scarred face, and hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

The man with the scarred face bowed and said, "The news has been delivered. They will enter through the east gate tomorrow night."

"That's good……"

Yang Si stood up slowly, clenched his fists tightly, and said excitedly: "Old He, after tomorrow night, the garrison of Datong Mansion will truly belong to us."

The man with the scar face also nodded excitedly.

Silent all night.

The next day.

After waking up, the Liao army belonging to Handerang was domineering in the camp as usual.

Yang Si and the people under his command were bullied as usual.

Especially those slaves of the Han people in Liao who followed Yang Si.

Although they have become soldiers under Yang Si's command, their status as slaves is still not shaken off.

Everything was as usual, without any disturbance.

The day flew by.

night is near.

The sun was setting, and a red glow was reflected in the sky.

Before the red clouds cleared, a soldier and horse appeared on the horizon.

When Yang Si and the others saw this army of soldiers, their pupils suddenly shrank.
