Fu Song

Chapter 719 Unexpected Attack Point
The struggle for people's hearts is always done unconsciously.

This usually takes a short period of time.

No matter how good you say it, you can't really do something.

Ordinary people are undoubtedly the most real and simple class.

They may not say anything, of course, they can't say anything, but it doesn't mean they don't understand in their hearts.

The Song army occupied Peixian and Fengxian counties for only a year or so, but in this short period of time, their governance methods and style made the local people understand that it turns out that officials can also be like this. Government can be like this.

Not only the people at the lowest level felt the difference, but also some wealthy people felt the difference.

Therefore, when the Song Army retreated and called for everyone to leave together, a considerable number of people abandoned their local family business and followed the Song Army.

Because over the past year, the Song government has established the most basic trust here, and many people are willing to believe their words.Because for more than a year, the government has said something, but it has not deceived them.

This time, the government said that the puppet Qi came and the people of Liao Kingdom came, and the people would definitely be exploited and oppressed, and life would definitely be very difficult.

Not to mention Dingkou. According to the statistics of the four years of Tiansong, there were 6000 million Dingkou in the entire Song Dynasty. The net increase is more than one million.

"The castle we built is of course nothing to say, but no matter how good or strong the castle is, it needs people to guard it!"

If you join, you can only accept it.

As for the soldiers in the city, there were about 800 people, plus Fan Zhong and his group of [-] civilian husbands.

The sound of horseshoes outside could be heard clearly through the city gate.

The whole Xiaogushan lit up.

Fan Zhong was very beautiful in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you!" Lu Yuan said: "Tell me, what do you want to do? But don't tell me that you want to go to battle to fight, and you can't do it!"

Unlike a big city, Yicheng has Wengcheng built inside.

No matter how confused Yicheng's guards were, the Liao people came here anyway.

"Suo Dujian, since that's the case, why are you talking nonsense, you should quickly arrange what to do." You roared impatiently. "It's only a few tens of miles away, no matter whether the enemy is on horseback or by boat, they will come soon!"

Fan Zhong wore a leather vest over his shoulders, and with a dozen or so other men who were also bare-chested and wearing leather vests, they put bowl-sized bars on their shoulders, and lifted a bronze cannon up the lonely mountain.

Especially after high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes were accidentally introduced to the Song Dynasty, Xiao Cheng felt that the population was too small.

If the city gate is broken, there will be a big problem.

In more than a month, he earned twenty pennies.

It is only a little lower than those craftsmen who know how to craft.

Because he has the ability to open up more industries and create more wealth, he can expand more territories, and can turn many so-called smoky places in the past into wealthy places suitable for farming and living.

"So you have to use all your strength to defend Yicheng, otherwise, you will become this son-in-law!" Suo Chao said, "Are you confident?"

Suo Chao smiled, "So, what we should do now is to help the army defend the city."

Not to mention that the population is only 7000 to [-] million now, even if it doubles again, Xiao Cheng also feels that he can completely eat them all in one bite.

Without enough civilian workers, many things cannot be advanced as originally planned, and can only be postponed.

Everyone moved.

"Think about Liu Yu's appearance, his daughter is definitely not good-looking!" Lu Yuan dismissed it.

However, many people don't want to rush to change after trying it once or twice.

It was the lightness of the handover that made him feel a little unsure, and there was still no jingling copper coin to make people feel at ease, but if there were really twenty copper coins in the bag, it would be a little too much.

"When I was fighting the Liao people in Xiangyang, you were still digging mud with your master, right?" Lu Yuan snorted coldly, "At that time, I was fighting under the Shan army, led by Qin Min. Compared with Qin Min , Liu Yu is a fart!"

"Because his heart is black and dirty, not black and not dirty, how could he defect to the people of Liao and become such a shitty king of Qi!" Lu Yuan said: "The appearance is born from the heart, how can he grow up well? A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, the mouse's son can make holes, so his daughter is definitely ugly too."

Fan Zhong tried it once, and it was true.

"Why are you yelling? You yell at me again and go home and tell my sister!" Suo Chao said angrily.

"There are three to four thousand people together!" Suo Chao said.

Because of these things, he doesn't have to worry about the lack of food caused by the population explosion.

And there is no comparison, how can there be a difference?
Song officials believed that those who stayed in the local area and did not follow them would suffer unimaginable pain in the future. When such news spread, those who evacuated with Song would be extremely grateful for their support Choose, and thus have a greater sense of belonging to Da Song.

The crowd was in an uproar, because Yicheng is a small city, and the total number of garrisons is only a little over a thousand.

"Okay, here we go again!" Lu Yuan twitched his mouth: "How can you be considered a civil servant, what's the matter with threatening me with your sister? Do you think I'm really afraid of your sister?"

Looking back, I saw the soldiers put thick door bars on the city gate that was more than one foot thick, and behind the wooden gate, there was a stone gate that could be lowered in a critical moment. isolated from the inside.

For Xiao Cheng, the chief assistant of the Great Song Dynasty, population is wealth.

Fan Zhong, who slept soundly and peacefully, was awakened by the sound of horns and bells and drums.

And when it comes to the present, more people can easily accomplish many things.

"When did you meet Liu Yu!" Suo Chao said, "How do you know whether he looks good or ugly!"

"This, can this be held?" Some people's voices trembled, fluctuating up and down.

Fan Zhong trotted all the way back to Yicheng.

Just like Fan Zhong, now living in a refugee camp, Jiaozi is light and easy to store, if there are dozens or even hundreds of copper coins in that thatched hut, I really can't rest assured.

Of course, when you go back, if you want to exchange the exchange for copper coins, that's up to you.

As the guard of Yicheng, three hundred soldiers were deployed on the isolated mountain.

Although he has no skills, he has a lot of strength, is willing to endure hardships, and is able to work hard, and the work that requires coolies will naturally be paid higher.

"Okay, what we need is everyone's courage and the courage to do things." Suo Chao said loudly.

If you don't accept it, then it is impossible for you to be included in such a team.

And these appeals are really just appeals. For those who are willing to leave, the government of Song State has made proper arrangements, and for those who are unwilling to leave, the government has not forced them, but respected their choice.

"Brother-in-law, now, if the civil servants have military merits, they will be promoted. However, ordinary civil servants are not allowed to interfere with the military, so it is difficult to get real military merits. I am lucky this time and go to the city to fight I can't, but you leave all other things in the city to me, and I will make overall arrangements. If I defend Yicheng at that time, won't I just have a solid military exploit? How to put it, I am also better than your logistics manager Yu Is it more reliable to wait? Anyway, I can't go!"

The cannon was so heavy, everyone's face was flushed, and the veins on their foreheads were exposed, they really used the power of the wild.

Fortunately, after going back, the Jiaozi can be exchanged for copper coins.

Suo Chao laughed loudly: "I heard that Liu Yu's youngest daughter is twenty-eight years old and has a beautiful face. Maybe she has taken a fancy to you, so she came to Yicheng regardless of the risk, so that I can capture you and go back to be Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law."

Only in such official projects, the wages paid are paid by Jiaozi.

Don't look at the state of Song losing the entire north now, but for many small countries, the state of Song is still a behemoth.

I heard that people in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangdong and Guangxi in the south have not used copper coins for a long time, but only use Jiaozi, and there, Jiaozi not only has such a consistent one, but also a penny.

So at the back of the city gate, a barricade was just built some time ago, and a strong crossbow was placed behind it. If there is something wrong with the city gate, dozens of soldiers can be deployed here to seal the gate, so that people in the city can get enough Reaction time.

Lu Yuan touched the green stubble that had just grown on his chin, smiled and said to Suo Chao beside him, "Son of a son of a bitch, or is it because I am so handsome that I am so attractive to them?"

"If you want to do it, you can give Zhu Er to be his deputy. If you want to be the master, you can't do it. You can directly command your more than a hundred people, but you have to listen to Zhu Er's orders for other things. Brother, this is life and death. War, it’s not a joke, you have never experienced a war, how could I put you in charge of the logistics of more than 1000 people? There is no need to discuss this matter, and you can’t sue me in front of your sister after you go back.”

After paying the bill last night, there were five more handovers in the small package, each of which was worth the same amount of money.There are already twenty such Jiaozi in the small package.

"Go to battle, will you? Can you?" Suo Chao smiled and said, "You can't. But since we can't escape, we can only stay here, then we should use our strengths, the city is guarded, we to live."

When he got up in a daze, the ninth-rank official named Suo Chao who led the team was already standing outside.

"Should we go to war?"

"The news came from the scouts just now. The army of the Liao army and the army of the Qi army are coming towards Yicheng on land and water. It is only a few dozen miles away from Yizhou. These two groups of enemies, one is cavalry, and the other is We can't make it if we take the boat down the river!" Suo Chao's voice was very calm, but the faces of the hundred or so peasants below showed panic and fear.

In places such as Lianghu, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Liangjiang, Jiaozi has just been implemented not long ago, and more folks still use copper coins for transactions.

For the government of the State of Song, the most basic obligation has been fulfilled. Since you have made your own choice, no matter what the consequences are, you have to bear them yourself.

This is not counting some people who have not been counted.

"Okay, the deputy is the deputy!" Suo Chao resentfully said.

In fact, what Fan Zhong didn't know was that in Yunnan and Guizhou, the Jiaozi issued by the United Bank also had [-] guan and [-] guan cards, but the face value was so large that ordinary people didn't need it.

Above the city, Lu Yuan raised a flag and waved it a few times in the direction of Gushan, and there was an immediate response from the other side, responding with the flag language.

When the people who stayed in Peixian spent another day of their extremely difficult life in extreme regret, Fan Zhong failed to leave this small city called Yicheng as originally planned.

Moreover, a small town like Yicheng is not a strategic point, and it is also sunken in the direction of Xuzhou. It is really impossible to imagine why the enemy will choose the first offensive point here. When the Song army comes to reinforce them, can they be sealed in Yicheng and wiped out in one fell swoop?

In terms of manpower, even the Liao Kingdom cannot compare with the Song Kingdom.

The soldiers were busy setting up their positions, bundles of crossbow arrows, and crossbow machines were also being transported to the lonely mountain.

"This is the general knowledge, and the one who has really read the book!" Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Brother, don't be angry, when you have seen the real battlefield and what death is, you will understand me. Why did you do that?"

He is the last one.

It is better to evacuate with the Song army, and it will not be too late to come back after the Liao people have been beaten back.

"Suodujian, how many enemies are there? Can Yicheng be defended?" A senior craftsman's voice trembled.

A large population, from one dimension, is a burden, but from another perspective, it is wealth.

"The reinforcement of this city was done by us." Suo Chao pointed to the lonely mountain outside the city: "We also did the stone castle there, how is it doing?"

The city gate was already closing, and he got in sideways. It seemed that if he was a little later, he would be locked out.

In the government's joint bank, one exchange one.

A country that has the opportunity to become a big and powerful country has two basic elements, one is a vast territory, and the other is a sufficient population.

When the sky was just getting brighter, dust and smoke could be seen rising in the distance, and the faint sound of thunder came, which was the momentum made by cavalry. Standing on the city wall and looking far away, you can also see the sky of Surabaya. At the end, pieces of sail shadows appeared.

And Liu Yu, who has already arrived in Fu County, is now suffering from the lack of civilian husbands.

The enemy came too fast.

"Who told my sister to give birth to two big fat boys! Believe it or not, I will tell you this to my sister when I go back!"

The entire city wall of Yicheng was lit up.

Looking at all this, Lu Yuan seems to have returned to the Xiangyang City back then, facing the opposite Fancheng across the river, and supporting each other.It's just that at that time, I was a battalion general commanding 500 people, but now I am the deputy commander who can command more than [-] people.

Of course, as a veteran who participated in the Battle of Xiangyang, this official was actually promoted very slowly, but this is also something that can't be helped. The current Song army is built on the shelf of Xiao Shoufu's direct line in Yunnan and Guizhou. It is normal for them, the old troops of General Lu Wenhuan, to be suppressed.

But this time we will fight together, it depends on our own abilities.

As Lu Yuan, who had fought head-to-head with the Liaoshan Army, he had a very high spirit, and he always wanted to get away from the officers of the Yunnan-Guizhou Department!
