Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

However, only 250,000 people

It has also reached the limit of the military camp.

It's not that we don't have a place to stay.

Instead, Zhao Yuan significantly improved the food standards in the military camps.

The military camp purchased large quantities of meat and vegetables.

It has already affected prices in Tokyo.

This caused great suffering to the city's residents.

Finally, the imperial court ordered all regions to temporarily suspend conscription.

Accompanied by Wang Jin, Zhao Yuan and his son

He inspected the new recruits who entered the city at different times.

It was obvious that the new recruits' combat effectiveness was improving.

Especially the earliest batch of new recruits underwent training in all aspects.

They are already comparable to the regular soldiers selected by Liangshan back then.

In just over a month, we will have completed six months of training.

Zhao Yuan was very satisfied with Wang Jin's work.

The coaches were immediately rewarded handsomely.

This was to recognize the effectiveness of their training.

Zhao Yuan said, "The first batch of new recruits will be put to use soon."

"Let's replace the troops stationed in various parts of Hebei first,"

"The situation in the north is unpredictable,"

"It is unknown when the Jin Dynasty will destroy the Liao Dynasty."

Even if we don't harbor much ill will towards the Jin Dynasty,

"But we cannot allow them to occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun."

"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun are the ancestral homeland of the Han people,"

"There is also a large amount of fertile land."

"After the founding of the Jin Dynasty,"

"They also win more often than they lose,"

"I'm afraid they won't be willing to give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun."

"A fierce battle is inevitable at that time,"

"We need to stabilize Hebei as soon as possible."

Wang Jin nodded and said, "What Your Majesty says is true."

"Although those Song Dynasty garrison troops and imperial guards had little combat effectiveness,"

"But let them all retire and return to their fields,"

"I'm afraid there will still be some incidents involving people."

"Many soldiers, besides eating military rations,"

"He doesn't know how to make a living either,"

"And most of them don't own any land,"

"I'm afraid the imperial court will have to allocate some land to them."

Zhao Yuan said, "The land in the Central Plains was only allocated to the wounded and injured soldiers of my Great Liang."

"If we give it to them too easily,"

"The people have no reason not to distinguish between them,"

"Then there will be too little land and too many people again."

"There is a considerable amount of land in the Xingling region of Western Xia,"

"There is also a considerable amount of land in the Hetao region that can be reclaimed,"

“I inquired about this in detail when I was in Western Xia,”

"The land in the Hetao region is very fertile."

"Now that area is occupied by the Tangut people for grazing horses,"

"They also reclaimed some land,"

"Although they are not good at farming,"

"But the harvest was also quite good."

"If it were us Han Chinese farming,"

"The harvest is comparable to that of the Jiangnan region."

“We can allocate some of that land to them,”

“If they go there and settle down,”

"The imperial court may also reward farmers with farming tools and travel expenses."

“We are moving a million people there,”

"It won't take more than a few generations,"

"The Tangut people in those areas were assimilated by us."

Wang Jin said, "Aren't there Tangut tribes in the Hetao region?"

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "They don't need such good land to graze their horses."

"We'll just give them a different pasture."

“I have terrified all the Tangut tribes,”

“They won’t disagree,”

"If they don't know what's good for them,"

"There will surely be an excuse to make them disappear."

Wang Jin laughed and said, "It seems Your Majesty has already made up your mind."

"According to what you mean,"

"Anyway, trouble has broken out,"

"It was also His Majesty who led the troops to quell the rebellion."

Zhao Yuan, without any modesty, laughed and said,

"There's trouble happening on the east bank of the river."

"And certainly not many,"

"I don't need to take action,"

"The troops stationed east of the river should be able to handle it."

"As for the various Tangut tribes in the Hetao region,"

"Unless they are willing to wander the grasslands,"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to oppose us,"

"At most, they'll secretly sabotage us a bit."

"However, I have already had Zhong Shidao wipe out several Tangut tribes,"

"I believe they wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

“The tribes on the grasslands are far more ferocious than them,”

"They went to the grasslands,"

"I'm afraid it won't be long,"

"They would become slaves of other tribes."

"The grassland tribes are not gentle,"

"Any man who exceeds the speed of a wheel will be beheaded."

"The remaining women and children became slaves."

"Compared to grassland tribes,"

"Our Daliang people are still very kind and approachable."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I have already sent the Governor-General of Ningxia Circuit."

"Once he has a clear understanding of the situation on Ningxia Road,"

"Then the land can be distributed."

Wang Jin said, "Speaking of Hebei Road,"

"Among the new recruits from Hebei, there is one remarkable person,"

"He will surely become a great general of our dynasty in the future."

Zhao Yuan asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Wang Jin reported, "He is from Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, and his surname is Yue, given name Fei."

Chapter 1697 Yue Fei

"He is calm and composed, and enjoys reading history and military books."

"His belly is full of fine things."

"He once studied under Zhou Tong, learning riding and archery."

"He mastered Zhou Tong's true teachings in just over a month,"

"You can use both hands to draw the bow."

"Later, I learned swords and spears from other people."

"He is also someone born with superhuman strength,"

"Can draw a 300-pound bow,"

"Open the crossbow to eight stones."

Upon hearing Yue Fei's account, Wu Song...

He couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

"Good man, your strength is no less than mine!"

"Speaking of which, he and I are practically from the same sect,"

"They all studied under Instructor Zhou."

Wang Jin laughed and said, "He should be your junior brother."

She's only eighteen this year.

Wu Song exclaimed in astonishment, "At eighteen years old, you can draw a three-hundred-pound bow!"

"That's really incredible."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "His senior brothers are Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Wu Song."

"They are all the best heroes in the world."

"His junior brother is naturally no less capable."
