Monument Yangmen

Chapter 504 Fuxing Pass

Under the eyes of everyone, Yang Qi rode his horse to the city wall. He jumped off the horse and stroked the cold bluestone on the wall, but his heart was full of fire.

Chen Yao couldn't figure out what Yang Qi was thinking. Seeing Yang Qi stroking the big bluestone on the wall, he hurriedly explained: "These big bluestone bricks were all mined from the mountain by the common people with hammer and hammer. There is absolutely no one who cut corners. .”

At the end, he added, "My subordinates and General Yanping are watching, no one dares."

Yang Qi seemed to sigh, it is really a miracle in the history of architecture.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

He turned his head and looked at the ragged people who were in charge of building the city. He didn't think this Guancheng was a miracle.

These are all 40 people, piled up with one hand, without any miracle.

Yang Qi is also absolutely unwilling to use the word miracle to obliterate the credit of the common people.

When Yang Qi climbed to the top of the city, he saw a tall city gate towering over the city gate.

Yang Yanping is waiting for him with a group of old men who look like foremen.

Yang Qi clasped his fists at them, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work."

These old foremen waved their hands again and again, saying: "No hard work, no hard work..."

Yang Yanping walked forward with a smile and said, "Stop talking about such polite words, the common people don't like it. If you really think that they have worked hard, when you rule this place in the future, treat them better."

Yang Qi smiled wryly and said, "I have already reduced the taxes of Fengzhou and Shengzhou for five years in one go. If the reduction continues, Kou Zhun will have to resign. I don't have many civil servants, and there is only one such as Kou Zhun at present. You can't let go of a pillar of talent."

Yang Yanping knew a little about Kou Zhun's temperament, and knew that Kou Zhun was someone Yang Qi valued, so Yang Yanping didn't find it strange at all when he heard Yang Qi say that.

Yang Yanping smiled and said: "I already know that you have reduced or exempted them from taxes for five years, and I also know that there is no way to back down on taxes. The people don't beg you to see tax reduction or exemption anymore.

However, in recent days, many people have approached me, saying that they are willing to live in Chenjiakou.

I heard that you have set up some kind of agricultural reclamation corps, so they also want to join it. "

Yang Qi was stunned, and said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will hand over the specific matters to Chen Yao. In this way, in the future, we will definitely build a Guancheng with nearly [-] soldiers and horses here. It should be stationed here. Therefore, with Chenjiakou as the boundary, within ten miles to the west, all of them are used for military training.

The large piece of wasteland and grassland ten miles away were all allocated to the Land Reclamation Corps.Their families can be allowed to build their own villages there. "

The old men who followed Yang Da heard Yang Qi's words, and their faces were excited.

Yang Da turned around and asked them with a smile, "How are you doing, are you satisfied?"

The old men nodded excitedly: "Satisfied! Satisfied!"

Two brothers, Yang Qi and Yang Da, looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Yang Da laughed and said: "I have already understood the trivial matters, and I should do the business. Today this pass is completed, and you need to give it a name."

Yang Qi pondered and said, "What do you think of Chen Jiaguan?"

Yang Da was stunned, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he shook his head in a low voice and said: "That's not right! The reason why Chenjiakou is called Chenjiakou is because the Chen family used to live here. However, since Shi Jingtang dedicated this place to After conquering the Liao people, the Liao people killed all the Chen family for the convenience of ruling this place.

Mentioning the Chen family always makes people inexplicably sad, so let's change the name. "

Yang Qi was startled, nodded solemnly and said: "That's called Fuxing Pass. This place is the starting point of the rejuvenation of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."

Yang Da's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Very good."

Yang Da had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Yang Qi picked up the brush and wrote the three big characters of Fuxingguan on the rice paper, and wrote the four small characters of Yang Yansi's title on the lower right foot.

The two pairs of masters and apprentices who had already been prepared on the city gate tower, one of them was in charge of carving. After they read Yang Qi's handwriting, they were hung on the edge of the city wall with baskets.

On the edge of the city wall, slightly upward, there is a special blank space.

The master and apprentice began to carve quickly.

Similarly, another pair of master and apprentice also began to carve inscribed inscriptions on a plaque that had already been prepared.

Yang Qi's words were engraved on the city gate and the plaque by their two pairs of master and apprentice.

The carving time lasted for an hour.

When the two pairs of master and apprentice sculptures were completed, the time just reached noon.

A large number of bamboos were thrown into the fire, amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Yang Qi lifted the red cloth covering the plaque.

The three characters of Fuxingguan are plated with a layer of gold paint, shining brightly in the sun.

A burst of fanatical cheers erupted from the crowd of the people.

The people of the Han people always depend on the thick city walls in their hearts.

A tall city wall separates Shengzhou and Liao.

Let them feel a sense of security from the bottom of their hearts.

And when Yang Qi waved his hand and dispatched the [-] Fuxing infantry in the garrison to the top of the city, the people felt even more secure.

The Fuxing infantry has barely been in the shadow of a soldier, and has also experienced the fight between Fengzhou and Yeqi Ganbo.

Their guts don't need to be trained anymore.

The rest of the training of tactics and formations is far from being completed overnight.

After Yang Qi transferred the Fuxing infantry to the top of the city, he entrusted all of them to Yang Da.

Yang Da was taught by Lao Yang, and he is very good at defending the city.

He can also grind out the Renaissance infantry.

The city wall is thick and wide, and the aisle on the city wall is as wide as two sheets.

Therefore, Yang Da's training of the revival infantry on the city wall was fully utilized.

The city wall was built, but neither Yang Qi nor Yang Da had the intention of dismissing 40 people.

Anyway, Yang Qi robbed a lot of money, so he could fully support them.

Yang Da and Yang Qi divided the people into two parts.

One section was responsible for continuing to build the city wall.

In Yang Qi and Yang Da's plan, the future Fuxing Pass will be a pass city with [-] soldiers.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to have only one city wall.

Another part of the people began to help enter the state of preparation.

Some people were sent to the weapon workshop, some established a cotton armor production workshop, and some led the army to help the army on the top of the city to prepare rolling logs, stones and other weapons for defending the city, and even carefully delivered them to the top of the city. hoarded up.

What surprised Yang Qi was that there were so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the common people.

During the division of labor this time, many craftsmen were discovered.

Some can make strong bows, some can make crossbows, and some can make weapons...even, there are some who can make all kinds of armor.

Yang Qi opened several workshops in succession almost without hesitation.

In order to win the war against the Liao Kingdom, Yang Qi did not hesitate to pile up all the money he had robbed.

Of course, Yang Qi also had his own wishful thinking.

It is absolutely impossible for him to let his subordinates use the same equipment.

The equipment under him will only get better and better.

Similarly, Yang Qi will not throw away the eliminated equipment, he has even thought of a place for these equipment.

Yang Qi is now racing against time to prepare for all battles, without thinking about anything else.

However, he didn't have time to think about other things, but it didn't mean that nothing came to him.

When Yang Qi was about to move his shaft to the basket at Fuxingguan City Gate, he was blocked by a group of people at the gate of the barracks.

A uniform array of women blocked the gate of the barracks, and all of them were very beautiful, so they were particularly eye-catching.

After training in the camp all day long, the soldiers who had been suffocating for a long time began to cry and howl when they saw this group of women appearing.

When Yang Qi saw this group of women, he guessed their identities.

The Volcano Guard re-established by Cao Lin.

Yang Qi also couldn't figure out why Cao Lin preferred to use women as spies.

The leader was a beautiful woman in red with a frosty face.

She is under Cao Lin's command, codenamed Jia Er.

After seeing Yang Qi, Jia Er ordered people to throw Hou Renbao in front of Yang Qi.

She said in a blunt tone: "The mistress said that this person insulted her and Miss Chuxing, let you figure it out."

Yang Qi looked at Hou Renbao who had been beaten into a pig's head, and frowned, "Who is this? Why was he beaten so badly?"

Jia Er didn't reply, but let the rest of the bound people be thrown in front of Yang Qi, and then strode away.

Yang Qi stared at Xin Huanwei who left gracefully.

Suddenly there was an urge to knock Cao Lin down and spank her ass.

He really wanted to catch Cao Lin in front of him and question Cao Lin, who is the head of the family.

However, he just thought about it.

The most urgent task is to find out who this guy who was beaten into a pig's head is.

Since this person offended Cao Lin, Cao Lin did not execute him, but sent him to her side instead.

That means that this person's identity is not ordinary.

Cao Lin couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she sent it for him to deal with.

Yang Qi squatted down and removed the stinky stuff that Hou Renbao stuffed in his mouth.

Before Yang Qi could ask a question, Hou Renbao hissed and shouted: "Yang Yansi, you are dead. And Cao Lin, that little bitch, is dead too. Your Yang family is dead too. You guys If you dare to beat this official and attempt to murder this official, you are all dead. Everyone in your Yang family will die."

Yang Qi's face darkened, and he stared at him expressionlessly, and asked, "Whether I'm dead or not, it doesn't matter what you say. Let me tell you who you are first, and what identity do you have, so that everyone in my Yang family Are they all dead?"

Hou Renbao shouted: "I am an imperial envoy by order, Hou Renbao."

"Hou Renbao?!"

Hearing this name, Yang Qi frowned, approached Hou Renbao with a smile, looked carefully at Hou Renbao's cheek, and said, "Is it really you, an idiot?"

Hou Renbao yelled: "Yang Yansi, you insulted this official, and your crime will be aggravated."

"Snapped!"

Yang Qi slapped Hou Renbao fiercely, and said with a sneer, "Didn't you just say that my whole family would die, so I'm still afraid that one crime will add another class?"

Yang Qida hated Hou Renbao from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since he witnessed this guy throwing [-] forbidden troops to Jiaozhi and ran away, Yang Qi wanted to kill this guy himself.

In Yang Qi's opinion, this kind of person should be executed Ling Chi.

It is simply blind that the imperial court still appoints such a person as a minister.

Therefore, Yang Qi was not at all polite to Hou Renbao.

Yang Qi grabbed Hou Renbao's ear and warned him coldly, "You'd better be honest with me, otherwise I will kill you."

Hou Renbao is also a master who does not shed tears when he sees the coffin.

He was not afraid of Yang Qi's threat at all, "If you dare to kill me, your family will be buried with you."

"Snapped!"

Yang Qi rewarded Hou Renbao with a big mouth, and sneered: "You are worthy of saying this? You are also an official? If my guess is correct, the imperial court sent you here, it should be because I found out that I was in Linzhou , Shengzhou, and Fengzhou. So you want to recruit me... No, no, to be precise, you want to give me a title. Then pick peaches from my hands and take away the three states of Linzhou.

You said I guessed right? "

Hou Renbao scolded: "So what if you guessed right? Even if you want to join the imperial court, I will not let you do so. Yang Yansi, you bastard, you have evil intentions, split the land and seal the border, intending to rebel, and everyone will be punished. The official will not give you such a bastard a chance."

"Snapped!"

Yang Qi continued to give Hou Renbao a slap, and said sarcastically: "If you say you are stupid, you are still really stupid. I now hold Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Daizhou in my hands, and I and Zhejia have formed an alliance. Zhejia He holds Fuzhou and Linzhou in his hands, as well as the five counties of Yinzhou.

Our two families can summon 20 soldiers and horses at any time to contend with the imperial court.Do you think the imperial court sent you to Shengzhou to show off your power under such circumstances?
The imperial court wanted to appease me and win me over.But you are here to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

Do you really consider yourself a character?Even if I kill you today, the imperial court will not say a word to me. "

Hou Renbao exclaimed in surprise: "Impossible, you are a rebellious minister and traitor, everyone will punish you if you get it."

Yang Qi sneered and said: "If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me, I will send two people to send a letter to the court, saying that you, Hou Renbao, are disrespectful to me and have already been cut off by me."

Yang Qi stuffed Hou Renbao's mouth with that dirty thing again.

Then, two of the captured guards in golden armor were selected, and they would send letters to Zhao Guangyi.

Yang Qi carelessly said to the two gold-armored guards: "You will go and tell your majesty that my Yang family will not rebel against the Song Dynasty. But your majesty promised my father to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and has not been fulfilled. Now my Yang family You can only get it back with your own ability.

As for the future generations of states, Shengzhou, and Fengzhou, they are still the land of the Song Dynasty.It's just that it will be under the management of our Yang family in the future.

Anyway, I won the Shengzhou and Fengzhou by myself.I manage it myself, no one can fault me.

After paying the tax money every year, after deducting the food and drink expenses of [-] soldiers and horses in each state, I will send the same amount to Bianjing City to your Majesty. "
