On the second day of October of the second year of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty, inside and outside the Nanxun Gate in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture City, it was crowded with people and lively scenes.

At this moment, Kaifeng Prefecture, which had once become a little depressed because of the golden thieves heading south, has returned to its former prosperity. The population is as large as one million, the city of residential markets, palaces, houses, pavilions and pavilions, and the world's most prosperous capital, day and night, and the medieval mountain city, is back now!

Of course, after a baptism of a war that almost destroyed the high housing prices of Kaifeng Prefecture, this Kaifeng Prefecture City is still very different from the seventh year of Jingkang.

Well, just standing outside Nanxun Gate and looking towards Nanxun Gate, you can find that the door hole of Nanxun Gate is different. You can only see a triangular platform-shaped door guard. At the beginning, it was a door guard wall, but after the explosion of the pot appeared, Chen Gui, who was a matter of Kaifeng Mansion, thought the door guard wall was too thin and might have collapsed. So at Zhao Kai's suggestion, the door guard wall was changed to a triangular platform-shaped fortress with rammed earth and bricks. There were also several three-bow bed crossbows on the top platform of the fortress, and hundreds of divine arm archers could be placed!

On the outside of the city wall of Kaifeng Prefecture City, more than a hundred triangular platform-shaped horse-faced castles are being built.

In addition to these triangular platform forts, in addition to the moat in Kaifeng Prefecture, a circle of new moats that are being excavated and intermittently appeared.

In addition, a cannon for placing counterweight cannons was built every 100 steps on the city wall of Kaifeng Prefecture.

After this circle of moats and all triangular platform-shaped horse-faced forts are completed, counterweight cannons are placed on the cannons, and the level of the city defense of Kaifeng Prefecture will be qualitatively improved!

At that time, as long as more than 10,000 elite soldiers carry the Divine Arm Bow to board these Triangle Forts or Triangle Horse-Mart Forts, it will be enough to withstand the siege of the 100,000-200,000 Golden Thieves!

In addition to the above newly built urban defense facilities, the messy houses, palaces, villas, and grass markets outside Kaifeng Prefecture before the Song and Jin battles have now disappeared. However, the refugees gathered from Hebei, Hedong and other places, as well as the families of the camp soldiers who came from various places, are too many, and the Kaifeng Prefecture cannot be resettled at all. Therefore, Quan Zhi Kaifeng Prefecture had to build six branch cities outside Kaifeng Prefecture, relying on the "golden waterways" such as Wuzhang River, Bian River, Huimin River, Cai River, Jinshui River and other "golden waterways".

If we include Jinming City, which is connected to the southwest corner of Kaifeng Prefecture Wall, there are now 7 more branch cities around Kaifeng Prefecture City that can not only absorb excess population but also improve defense levels.

Zhao Kaihe, the official of the Song Dynasty who returned to Kaifeng Prefecture the day before, followed him, did not enter the main city of Kaifeng Prefecture, nor did he go to the "military city" Jin Mingchi. Instead, he settled in Yujin City next to Caihe for a night. In order to enter Kaifeng Prefecture as a triumphant army under the attention of everyone on the second day of October.

Today is the second day of the October 2000. In October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, almost two years ago, the Jin soldiers of the seventh year of Xuanhe (including Ali Xi and various servants) brazenly tore up the alliance with the Song Dynasty and launched a sudden attack on the Song Dynasty with lightning speed!

Now, under the leadership of the official Zhao Kai, after two years of bloody battles, the Song Dynasty finally drove all the invading enemies out of the territory of the Song Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty, which had been hit for two years, was nothing except for heavy casualties and injuries!

It's a big loss!

Unless Wanyan Puluhu, who was in the bribery election, was a "super-magic" (super-magic man), he would never have the idea of ​​invading Song again in his life.

On the other hand, although the wealth and population lost far exceed that of the Jin Dynasty!

In the northern, eastern and northern Hebei, which were ravaged by the Jin soldiers, there is now a wasteland everywhere. As for Yanshanfu Road, which was first occupied by the Jin soldiers, it was simply empty. The population loss was so shocking! Compared with the Liao Dynasty before the Northern Expedition of Xuanhe, the population lost at least 90%!

But the Song Dynasty has a population of 100 million!

One or two million is nothing, and the population of the Song Dynasty, especially the northern Central Plains, is actually an oversupply relative to land resources. Now one or two million are lost, and there may be another one or two million to migrate to Jiangnan. It seems to be a "loss", but in fact, it has freed up land resources that are enough to feed three or four million people!

According to preliminary statistics from the two Xuanfu Departments in Hebei and Hedong, in Hebei (including Yanshan Town Fu Road), the two Hedong Roads, the abandoned and unowned arable land has now exceeded 30 million acres!

According to the standards of field archers along the border of the Western Army, these 30 million acres are enough to accommodate 150,000 field archers. According to the experience of the Western Army, these archers who have divided the land (actually not only know how to shoot archers, but field archers named archers) are still very reliable in their combat effectiveness when guarding their homes.

Therefore, once the 150,000 archers were appointed to the field, once the city and fortresses on the border of Hebei and Hedong were built, the defenses on the border of Hedong were stable.

By then, Zhao Kai will be able to fight against Xixia in person

The "997 soldiers" of the camp army, which was baptized by the two years of the Anti-Jin War, were not something that the "siding soldiers" of the Xixia could deal with.

As long as the Jin Kingdom does not send troops to intervene, it is only a matter of time before the Western Xia will be beaten away or destroyed.

As soon as the Western Xia ended, the Song Dynasty had the supply of Hequliang horses and Qinghai long-legged horses. It could even open up the Western Regions business roads and buy authentic Persian long-legged horses, big food small-legged horses and Kievan Russ young horses.

With strong soldiers and good horses, are you afraid that you can't beat the Golden Thieves?

Even if the Jin thieves cannot be destroyed, there should be no problem in maintaining the peaceful and prosperous era of the Song Dynasty.

At least Zhao Kai will not have any worries in his life!

This Song Dynasty official is now among tens of thousands of triumphal troops. He has been wearing a solid cold-forged green Tang armor, a bronze helmet on his head, and a long-legged Qinghai Camp under his crotch.

The six-faced black flags symbolizing the emperor's personal expedition were fluttering behind him in the wind. Yue Fei, Li Shifu, who returned from Liaodong, and Huang Wubing, who led the squads in front of the palace, each led 1,000 lancers and cavalrymen to guard him in front, back, and left and right.

There were also a group of civil and military officials who were personally leading the troops but did not lead the troops directly, all of them were covered with clothes and followed Zhao Kai.

As the triumphal army led by the emperor began to move towards Nanxun Gate, the people gathered on both sides of the inner and outer roads of Nanxun Gate began to cheer loudly.

"The emperor is triumphant! The world is peaceful! Long live, long live, long live, long live"

The cheers first rang out of Nanxun Gate, and in a blink of an eye it reached Nanxun Gate. The people of Kaifeng who heard the cheers along the street, regardless of whether they had a household registration or whether they were Chinese people, all responded to cheer. The sound suddenly became louder and louder. Some particularly excited soldiers in the camp tried their best to squeeze forward, as if they wanted to find their relatives from the triumphant army. However, they were stopped by the officers and soldiers of the camp and the yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture, so that no one could take a step forward.

At this time, Zhao Kai himself had already bypassed the Triangle Fort outside Nanxun Gate and entered Nanxun Gate, and began to appear on the street leading directly to Xuande Gate.

However, he had already changed positions with Huang Wubing at this time. He was not walking before the six signs that symbolized the emperor. He was a spy who was afraid of the Jin thief's assassination!

Looking at the crowded crowds on both sides of the road and the heads poked out from the windows on the second floor of the shops on both sides of Nanxunmen Street, you will know that the road is a bit dangerous.

However, no matter how dangerous it is, Zhao Kai must show his great military power to the people of Kaifeng Prefecture and the officials of the court.

Amid the cheers, Zhao Kai followed his army slowly forward, looking at the prosperous scene on both sides of the road.

This is a dreamy scene!

At this time in history, the housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture collapsed and that Prince Yun Zhao Kai should have become the cuckold king.

But now Zhao Kai looked at the towering Zhuque Gate and the magnificent walls of the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, and felt indescribable.

He has now successfully recovered the Song Dynasty, which collapsed because of its lack of seeds!

The Song Dynasty has a seed and a future!
