One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zhai Jin looked at the map and thought about what Liu Fa said, "If you follow what Liu Jinglue said, the imperial court is indeed in danger, but these are your speculations and have no basis."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "It is indeed just speculation, but time can prove everything. We are just making preparations in advance. If we wait until something happens to prepare, it will be too late. Mr. Li's ambition is to bring the Han people back." In the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties, do you think the current official family can do it? The old Zhao family has long lost its courage. It would be good if the current official family can maintain the ancestral foundation, let alone expand the territory."

Zhai Jin thought for a while and sighed and stopped talking.

Liu Fa continued, "So in order to revive the Han people, we must build a strong army, an army that is not only stronger than the Western Army, but also stronger than the Jin Army, Liao Army, and Xia Army. Only such an army can recover what we have lost." Those Han rivers and mountains, Yanyun, Liaodong, Hexi Corridor, Western Regions, and Heshuo Grassland are all our targets. When Mr. Li takes over the Song Dynasty, a certain family will return to the northwest, and a certain family's old rival Cha Ge is still there. We are waiting for a certain family. By then, a certain family will definitely defeat Cha Ge and destroy the Xia Kingdom. How about General Zhai, would you like to join us?"

Zhai Jin thought for a while and said, "Can you wait until a certain family sees your territory outside the territory before you give a reply?"

Liu Fa nodded and said, "Okay, we will go by boat in two days."

Zhai Jin asked "On an island"

Liu Fa replied, "Yes, on an island hundreds of miles away from the Song Dynasty. Net"

Zhai Jin nodded and said, "Okay, someone knows."

In fact, Zhai Jin was already very conflicted at this time. On the one hand, it was the dream of every general to open up new territories and leave a name in history, let alone revive the Han family. If this was accomplished, it would be a great success in the history books. Shu Te Shu, and Liu Fa is also Zhai Jin’s old boss; on the one hand, Zhai Jin feels that Liu Fa’s statement is not credible, and more importantly, he does not trust Li Xin, who has no interaction with him. After all, this is a This is a major event that affects life, and there is no room for Zhai Jin to be careless.

In this way, Zhai Jin spent two days in extreme conflict. Two days later, Li Xin took Liu Fa and Zhai Jin to Xinghan Island with the fleet. Li Xin had already named the island Xinghan Island and the new city. Prosperity of Seoul.

When the city under construction appeared in the sight of the fleet, Liu Fa began to introduce it to Zhai Jin, "The city under construction is Xinghan City. The city has a circumference of forty miles and can accommodate people in the future." People, the refugees brought by the fleet will become common people living in this city, and there are currently more than people in Seoul."

When Zhai Jin saw the city under construction, he was surprised and said, "There are already so many people in Xinghan City. 35xs"

Liu Fa nodded, "Yes, Xinghan City. Mr. Li named this city. This island will be called Xinghan Island from now on. Of course, this will not be the only city on the island. There will be more cities in the future. You Do you know how big this island is?"

Zhai Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Liu Fa smiled and said, "According to Mr. Li, this island has million acres of land. It can accommodate several million people. So even if we train an army of or people on this island, we will not be overwhelmed." Discover."

Zhai Jin looked shocked, "Sixty million acres is so big."

Liu Fa smiled and asked, "How are you excited?"

Zhai Jin was really moved. Before he came here, he thought how big an island could be. Now he was shocked. If the island was really million acres in size, then it would definitely be able to accomplish great things. Moreover, the island was far away from the Song Dynasty and basically not There is a risk of being discovered.

The fleet stopped at the shore. Zhai Jin pushed Liu Fa out of the boat. Liu Fa pointed to the notices on the dock and said, "You can take a look at these notices. What is written on them are all the plans set by Mr. Li for this island." Part of the policy."

Zhai Jin looked at the notice and said, "A certain family now understands what Liu Jinglue said. Mr. Li is indeed qualified to challenge the court. Money is secondary, land is the main thing. Anyone who comes to this island, whether they are refugees or Military households will allocate land for farming, and those who don't want to farm will be given to shops. These benefits are impossible for the court to grant."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "Yes, and the land on the island is temporarily prohibited from being bought and sold. This avoids the possibility of land being taken away. In the Song Dynasty, only a small part of the land was in the hands of the people, and most of the land was in the hands of landlords, In the hands of officials, scholar-bureaucrats, relatives of the emperor and some big families, land is the lifeblood of the people. Therefore, any refugee or military household who comes to this island will become a firm supporter of Mr. Li, because they have no land in the Song Dynasty. , they are destined to be hostile to the Song Dynasty in the future."

Zhai Jin fell silent as he looked at the sweaty and happy expressions of the people on the island. This was a place full of hope. He knew it was time for him to make a choice, but he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart.

Liu Fa took Zhai into the area where the soldiers were patrolling, and asked Zhai Jin to take a look at the soldiers on the island.

Liu Fa asked, "How are you doing? What do you think of these soldiers?"

Zhai Jin replied, "Well, the soldiers have good morale and good equipment. They seem to be well-trained, but they still lack some murderous spirit compared to the Western Army."

Liu Fa nodded and said, "Yes, as long as these soldiers have gone through battlefield experience, they will definitely be stronger than the Western Army. I will show you something." Liu Fa took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Zhai Jin, "This is this Take a look at the discipline of an army."

Zhai Jin looked at the regulations on the paper and took a breath. "This military discipline is much stricter than that of the Song Dynasty. The soldiers are actually literate. With such strict military discipline, Master Li is not afraid of the soldiers rebelling."

Liu Fa shook his head and said, "These soldiers will not rebel. On the contrary, they are willing to abide by military discipline because Master Li gives them very good treatment. An ordinary military household on the island can be allocated fifty acres of land, while ordinary refugees only have three acres of land." Ten acres of land, in addition to these soldiers' monthly military pay, Mr. Li never defaults on military pay. This military pay is much better than that in the Song Dynasty. Only in the Song Dynasty, how many armies can pay a monthly military salary of the same amount, so these The soldiers will not rebel. As for learning literacy, at first a certain family did not understand why Mr. Li stipulated that every soldier must learn literacy. Later, a certain family trained these soldiers for a period of time before they understood why they needed to learn literacy."

Zhai Jin asked "Why"

Liu Fa replied, "Because literate soldiers learn things faster than illiterate soldiers. A certain tutor teaches these literate soldiers. They have strong learning ability and can quickly learn what a certain tutor teaches. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the generals It is impossible to take care of all places on the battlefield. Sometimes the day lilies are cold by the time the general's military order is delivered, so we rely heavily on the response ability of the soldiers at the grassroots level. These literate soldiers will become the anchor of stability at the grassroots level on the battlefield in the future to help the general stabilize The battlefield."
