Chapter 24 Defending the Homeland

"Crown Prince, you don't know either?" Yang Du asked strangely.

A new round of bamboo paper promotion began, and those strange punctuation marks and math problems also began to bombard.

This has attracted more attention from people, especially in some backward areas, where education is not developed, and sentence breaking has become a serious problem. Of course, people who are truly knowledgeable may not fully agree with Wang Ju's "forced" sentence breaking sentences for the world. However, for most students, they are undoubtedly half a teacher, at least they are new second-level Jinshi. Some of their teachers are good at picking students, and some are not even picking students.

Fortunately, the entire Song Dynasty had the Puyi dispute invaded, and there was no mood to care about it, let alone anyone argued.

However, there is another question: there are too many punctuation marks, why are they different?

With punctuation marks, I just stopped reading here and understood this. However, when it comes to the meaning of each punctuation mark, most people are confused. But Wang Ju just doesn't explain it.

As Wang Ju's hometown and the location where the bamboo paper contract is located, Yanzhou was also bombed, and more people were curious, so You Tao and Yang asked the crown prince.

This is something that Wang Ju temporarily returned to Wangjia Village to permanently define his identity as a civil servant. The crown prince is not by Wang Ju's side, so how can the crown prince know?

Not only do you know this punctuation mark, but the crown prince also doesn't know the math problems because they are too deep.

"This is really weird." Yang Du said again.

At this moment, a servant from his family hurried over and said, "Dalang, Xixia has invaded on a large scale."

"Ah, where is it?"

"In Jintang City, many Xixia troops came. There was no limit to the sight. Your father asked me to find you back and could not run out of the city."

The Western Xia Iron Cavalry rolled eastward.

When Lu Shi heard the news in Yanzhou Prefecture Office, he was shocked and kept asking the scouts to investigate and report again.

Soon the news came, and many troops in Xixia entered Jintang City. However, they went south one after another and marched towards Dashun City.

"Dashun City, Qingzhou?" Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just fight, as long as you don’t fight Yanzhou.

…………

At this time, there is no need to hide it. It just so happened that part of the money and silk of the imperial court were transported to Qingzhou.

"It's time." Cai Ting said with relief, and then called the old Fan general Zhao Ming. This is a very prestigious Fan general. Perhaps Li Sangou has a very high reputation among some Yeli people, but in Qingzhou, Li Sangou is far inferior to Zhao Ming.

"You immediately bring your subordinates to gather strong men and horses from all villages and say to them. As long as you participate in the war, each person will reward ten pieces of silk. If you are successful in killing the enemy, you will also reward them. But don't force them. Those who participate in the war are encouraged and welcome. Those who do not participate in the war will stay in each village and gather the strong soldiers of each village to prevent accidents."

"Here."

Cai Ting immediately ordered all the people on the front line to bring supplies immediately and move them to the rear as much as possible, and to clear the fields. If they are close to the forts, enter the forts. If they are far away from the forts and forts, enter the major villages and follow the command of the patriarchs of the major villages. But be sure to remember that in addition to valuable wealth, try to bring food and livestock as much as possible. Do not leave a grain of food for the Western Xia invaders.

Gyeongju is ordering, and Huachi is also ordering.

Even all the supplies from that workshop were transferred to Huachi Town, and several simple hydraulic presses were also dismantled and brought to Huachi Town. But instead of stopping, they continued to build weapons.

For a moment, the entire Qingzhou front line was in chaos, as if the end of the world was coming.

"Prince Qiu, I have never hated the invaders as much as I am now." Wang Ju said as he looked at the tragic phenomenon in Huachi Town.

"Zi'an. This is pretty good. Although it looks miserable now and the losses are heavy, your life can be saved. You don't know that the two years ago, the Xixia people burned, killed, plundered, and approached the city of Huachi Town. Because they were not prepared, countless people were killed and women were abducted." Qiu County Magistrate couldn't help but shook his head, which was so miserable.

"Li Liangzuo is so friendly!" Wang Ju said angry.

In the past, he heard that Mozang Epang invaded the Gengtumen in Wangjiazhai. Although there were burning, killing, looting, Mozang Epeng was also worried about causing trouble, so he mainly expelled the people, drove away the people, and then asked the Xixia people to plant them.

"Report, report!" A soldier hurriedly rode his horse to report: "Many people fled to Fengchuan Town, and then wanted to escape from Fengchuan Town to Zhiluo County. He Dutou asked the young man to ask Ming Gong if he wanted to stop them?"

“How many people are there?”

"Thousands of people, and the number of people is increasing."

"I'm going to let them go, but I'm going to tell them to leave Huachi County, but remember that it's getting colder and you have to bring enough luggage and food. This time won't be too long, we will definitely defeat the people of Xixia."

"good."

The soldiers hurriedly rode back to Fengchuan Town.

Wang Ju had no good idea, but fortunately, the Xixia people invaded this time, and the preparation time was long, so the winter wheat was sown. Then, the war stopped, and these people would definitely come back.

However, it is not a long-term solution. As long as Xixia invades Dashun City, the people are worried and afraid. Sooner or later, a large number of people will leave Huachi again. The people are also very important. The army is more likely to rely on their food. With the people, there are some income for the local area to be used, and with the people, some servants can be drawn to maintain local public security...

"Qianjian, who is the first to attack?" Wang Ju murmured.

In front of Fengchuan Village, Fan Zhongyan's reconstruction of Fengchuan Village did have a great effect, just guarding Fengluo Road, and it was very strong. However, this is not the main combat site, and it is impossible to attack Fengchuan Town, so the entire Huachi County will be in danger. Therefore, only soldiers in Yidu are left.

He Du looked at the people and said loudly: "Minister Wang said that if you want to leave Huachi County, he will not stop him, but there are two things to tell you, I will win this battle in the Song Dynasty, so don't go too far, your home is behind you. The second thing I want to tell you is that the weather is getting colder, and you can go away. Please bring enough clothes and food to keep warm, don't be hungry, don't be frozen."

"Ming Gong," many people burst into tears.

Wang Ju dared to kill people and killed many people, but he did put his heart into it. Huachi County is small, and Wang Ju has never stepped on the village or village, and even had a meal at these people's houses.

Therefore, when hearing these words of emotion, many people were ashamed and grateful.

"Don't cry. If you want to leave, leave." He Dutou said.

The people began to flock to Fengchuan Town and fled eastward from Fengchuan Town. However, some of the people returned to their homes under the touch and trust.

"Uncle Sangou, can't you know how many enemy troops are coming?"

"There are too many people, and the status of several Yeli tribes over there is low. It is impossible to know, but it may be much more than you and I imagine."

"Call up strong men."

But not all the villages may be attacked by the Xixia people, and those villages are not called. Wang Ju asked Li Sangou to summon one by one. This time the court's money and silk was in time and the rewards were relatively generous, so more than 1,600 strong men and strong horses were quickly summoned. It doesn't matter if the number is less than half of the brief compilation. When it is critical, you can also call it as appropriate.

More than a thousand people stood silently in front of Huachi Town.

This is the important reliance between Wang Ju and Cai Ting. It cannot be said that they have few people, almost equivalent to the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion. And they fight well, and have stronger combat effectiveness than ordinary Fourth Battalion Injunctions.

Of course, there are more volunteers in the foreigners in Qingzhou.

But Wang Ju glanced at everyone. Some people were also worried, some were angry, and some were confused.

Fanzi is also afraid of death, these are normal expressions.

Now they can also be ordered to go to the battlefield, at least there is no problem using it to defend the city, and some foreigners have outstanding archery skills.

But it was still not enough. Wang Ju walked back and forth a few steps, looked at everyone and asked, "Listen. What is the sound in the city?"

A foreigner said boldly: "It's a cry."

"Yes, it's the crying of the people. Perhaps coincidentally, their husbands had spoken to you some time ago and had drunk wine."

The foreigner drooped his head.

Wang Ju said again: "It took nearly 150 years for the Tang Dynasty to grow the number of households to nine million households, but our dynasty only took a hundred years, and the area was several times smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, but it grew the number of households to more than 10 million households."

Master Du was a little confused.

Wang Ju continued: "I know that my dynasty has not done well in many aspects, and there are many poor people, including you foreigners. Some of them deal with injustice, while others do not guide you, making you equally poor. But compared to other dynasties, our dynasty has done a good job. Of course, it is mainly because of the sweat and hard work you have put in, which has turned this land into a beautiful home step by step."

"Just half a year ago, the young children of your villages came here to sing, and their smiles almost echoed throughout Huachi River. Just a month ago, when the harvest came, I saw the smiles blooming on your faces again. However, with the murderous devils on the other side of the mountain, a group of evil robbers arrived, the smile disappeared, and all I heard was crying. Joy disappeared, and all I saw was sadness. Why, do we owe them? No, on the contrary, we contributed taxes bit by bit, then turned into silver, exquisite cloth, tea, and gave them a car of free carts. But why are they not satisfied?"

"Are they noble? What I see is your hard work, simplicity, honesty, and keeping promises. These noble qualities touched me very much. I love the Song Dynasty, I love this place, I love you."

"We love you too, Magistrate Wang." These men said loudly.

"No, it was you who moved me that I worked hard to be the magistrate. But I just want to ask everyone, do we owe them?"

"No."

"Are we more greedy than them for life and fear of death?"

"No."

"Are we more despicable than them?"

"They are the lowly people."

"Okay, pick up your swords, raise your bows and arrows, and fight with me. Huachi is here, Huachi is here, Huachi is dead, I am dead! Let us defend the Song Dynasty, Huachi, defend the land that raises us and raises us, and defends our homes."

"Defend the Song Dynasty and protect the homeland," finally more than a thousand men were motivated together and shouted in unison. More than a thousand voices were getting louder and louder, like rolling thunder, exploded outside the city... (To be continued)
