Zhang Kegong came by boat, with two very talented servants and a few big boxes of big characters, which are calligraphy works. There are no masterpieces from famous scholars, but calligraphy written by some unknown scholars. They are all auspicious words such as "congratulations on getting rich". They are well written and can be sold for a few small money in Tianjin.

This is a small business that is not eye-catching, so when I passed the Maritime Bureau checkpoint, I did not encounter any trouble. The tax officer of the Maritime Bureau sloppy estimated the value of 300 yuan and then collected 30 yuan taxes. Zhang Kegong gave the other party a 30 yuan denomination and two taels of silver. After checking the tax officer of the Maritime Bureau, he issued a tax invoice.

After getting the tax card, Zhang Kegong saw Du Wenzhong, who had become a gentle middle-aged businessman, waiting outside the tax card. He hurriedly went up to bow and greeted him, just like when an old friend met.

Du Wenzhong hired a four-wheeled carriage and asked Zhang Kegong and two entourages to get on the car. He closed the door. After the carriage ran up, he whispered to Zhang Kegong: "Jie Zhong, something happened."

Accident?

Zhang Kegong was nervous. Could it be that Du Wenzhong was discovered by the spy from Youzhou?

Du Wenzhong whispered: "Although I heard that there are many heroes in Yan and Zhao since ancient times, I never thought that the Yan people were so fierce. When they heard that the enemy was so arrogant, they were not afraid of it. From rich men to poor families, everyone wanted to fight and prayed to Liaodong..."

What!? Is this a little accident?

Zhang Kegong's eyes were almost shocked and fell to the ground.

Millions of Khitans!

How terrible!

If you come to Kaifeng Prefecture, the government will most likely slip to Xiangyang. Everyone here will really want to fight and pray to Liaodong. How is this possible? The Yan people are so powerful, how did the Khitans rule here for more than a hundred years?

Du Wenzhong said: "Don't believe it, you'll know later."

In a while, less than half a quarter of an hour, the carriage that Zhang Kegong and Du Wenzhong were riding was blocked outside the Republic Square, not traffic jams, but people were blocked.

I don’t know what day it is today, but there are crowds of people in Republic Square, and I’m afraid there are tens of thousands of people gathering there.

The people gathered there really cheered, and the sound was huge, like thunder.

"Emperor Liao! Emperor Liao! Emperor Liao..."

"What are they howling?" Zhang Kegong got off the carriage, stood on the street, looking at the crowds of people in the square not far away.

"Attack Liao!" Du Wenzhong said, "They are shouting 'Attack Liao'. Today is the day when the Senate officially passed the "Additional War Debt Case" and the "General Mobilization Order"... so there are so many people here."

Zhang Kegong walked forward and walked to the entrance of the square. Then he squeezed in, wandered among the crowd, observed carefully, listened, and looked at the various expressions of excitement, joy, hope, etc. that emerged from young faces.

There was almost no fear, at least Zhang Kegong did not find any fear on his face.

What the hell is going on?

Are the Yan people really crazy? Millions of Liao troops! They are not afraid at all? If they are not afraid, how could they be ruled by the Khitans for so many years? Could it be because of Wu Haogu? This traitor used some method to completely stimulate the bloodiness of the Yan people?

Just when Zhang Kegong was puzzled, his cousin Zhang Kexiang and all other veterans had already surrounded the chief veteran Wu Haogu and walked out of the second floor of the Senate's Council Hall, facing the large platform of Republic Square.

The Senate meeting just ended, and the "Additional War Debt Case" and the "General Mobilization Order" were passed unanimously!

The former issuance of 10 million yuan in additional public debts for war, while the latter is a law to recruit soldiers. Because Youzhou is a land military service system, the knights who have taken the land have no choice but to recruit them to join the army!

However, for civilians who have not obtained the land, they can only recruit soldiers and let them voluntarily join the army. This "voluntary" is amazing. I don't know how many passionate young people and poor and lower-middle peasants in Yan land stretched their necks and waited. There are even many knight households living in the Song Dynasty, and relatives and friends of the military households in the palace were also waiting for the King of Yan to order their troops!

The 200 acres of the military household and the 1,500 acres of the military household are not attractive than Zhao Ji's money? Although the ordinary 200 acres of dry land are worth at most hundreds of kilometers. However, without the identity of the military officer and the military officer, a bunch of tycoons and taxes will be suppressed, the landlords can also oppress the tenants.

Therefore, the issue that Wu Haogu and the Senate should consider is no longer whether there are soldiers, but whether the land in Liaodong is divided enough...

"Attack Liao! Defeat Liao! Defeat Liao..." Wu Haogu didn't know that he would soon be worried about too many soldiers. He just stood on the platform, holding the railing with one hand, pulling out the sword with the other hand and waving it vigorously, and then shouting "Attack Liao".

The square was very noisy, and there were no loudspeakers these days. So the people below didn't hear him yelling? But everyone saw him pulling out his sword. Of course, it means to cut off the Liao Gou!

This shows that the Senate passed a resolution to kill Liaogou and divide the land!

The young and middle-aged farmers who came from the Yan countryside to join the army in Tianjin were so happy, they all shouted "attack Liao" at the top of their voices. The scene was so lively that it was almost the Great Revolution.

If Yelu Yanxi saw this scene, she would definitely regret it and would jump into the Liaohai Sea.

Zhang Kegong was so scared that he was a little trembling. You are all so happy to attack Liao... If you go back and attack Song, how would you be happy?

...

"Millions of Liao soldiers! Are the Yan people really not afraid?"

Why didn’t Zhang Kegong think that the one who solved the mystery in his heart was Du Wenzhong’s 17-year-old son, Du Guoliang, who was studying in elementary school in Tianjin.

Although Du Wenzhong was a Song Dynasty spy lurking in Tianjin, his son Du Guoliang was a "republic". He studied in elementary school and elementary school in Tianjin. This year was his last year of elementary school. On New Year's Eve, he was going to take the Yuntai Academy. As a result, he encountered millions of barbarians invading the south, Lushun was in danger, Yanshan was in danger, and although Youzhou was large, he could not tolerate a calm desk... So the seventeen-year-old Du Guoliang was also determined to join the army!

"Du Dalang, you are going to join the army too? Why? Your family is not a citizen of Youzhou?"

"The uncle doesn't know that although my nephew is not a citizen, he wants to become a citizen at all times. Therefore, my nephew must join the army and serve the country and make a citizen on the battlefield!"

Another good child who was bewitched by Wu Haogu... But his words make sense! Those who become citizens must defend their own shares. Those who do not become citizens also want to earn a citizen from millions of Liao bandits.

In Youzhou, can everyone not think about fighting?

I just don’t know how many Youzhou men are going to die of Liaodong!

Zhang Kegong looked at Du Guoliang with some regret. This kid is different from his father. He has been motivated since he was a child and often won the first place in Daxiangguo Temple Primary School in Tianjin. Yuntai Academy should be stable. Why do you want to make a citizen from the battlefield?

"Are you a citizen who is admitted to Yuntai Academy?"

Du Wenzhong explained: "The sect is determined to take the Law School. The teacher from Daxiangguoji Primary School said that anyone who joins the army can be given a bonus for his merits."

What? Such a gentle and gentle thing as the imperial examination (Zhang Kegong recognized the level of the Yuntai Academy, so he regarded the Yuntai Academy as the imperial examination), how could he still get extra points for joining the army?

Du Guoliang said to Zhang Kegong with a solemn look: "Even if there is no extra points for joining the army, my nephew will stand up and defend the republic! Because my nephew is a Chinese man who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, how can he sit down and watch the captives go south and Lu Chen in China?"

"Confucians have their own famous religion, so why do you have to do with the army?" Zhang Kegong brought out the famous saying of Fan Zhongyan to persuade Zhang Zai, who wanted to join the army to serve the country.

Du Guoliang said, "This is a corrupt scholar. The sage uses his body to practice it and is almost benevolent. Now that the barbarians are heading south, we Youzhou Confucians should practice it with their own strength, hold on to their sharpness, killing the enemy and protecting the people. How can we be confused by the chapters and avoid death?"

Zhang Kegong was stunned and stunned. What he said... Did Fan Zhongyan and Zhang Zai abandon martial arts and follow literature because they were afraid of death and studied Confucianism?

...

"The banner of Liaogou!"

At the head of the city of Daheishan Mountain City, several defenders suddenly pointed to the flags that appeared on the horizon in the distance and shouted loudly.

Dahei Mountain, also known as Laohu Mountain and Damon Mountain, is located in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The main peak is more than 20 meters high and is more than 20 miles in a radius. It is called the No. 1 Mountain in southern Liaoning. It is very close to Lushun Pass City, which is the original Zhendong Pass Great Wall. Geographically speaking, this is the gateway to Lushun.

The Daheishan Mountain City was built in the Jin Dynasty and was originally named Beisha City. It was a stone city built by Goguryeo ruled by the Liaodong Peninsula. The city walls were built along the ridge of Daheishan Mountain, around the ridges and canyons along the mountain. The city walls were built with rocks of varying sizes, which were very strong.

Before the Youzhou army occupied the Anfu army in Suzhou, the Daheishan Mountain City had been abandoned for many years, but because it was a stone city, it was not seriously damaged. Under the leadership of Huang Zhisheng, the Youzhou army's engineers and civilians carried out comprehensive restoration and reinforcement of the Daheishan Mountain City, and built the Lushun City and Dongguan City on the left and right wings of Daheishan Mountain. The stone walls were also used to connect the Daheishan City, Dongguan City and Daheishan Mountain City into one, forming a line of defense that looked like a copper wall.

The one who led his troops to guard this line of defense was Chai Chong, the fifth general of Youzhou Army. He was the guy who shot Du Wenzhong's shoulder with an arrow when he was a "guardian knight" in Jiehe Shang City in his early years. Later, he participated in the Battle of Pingxia with Wu Haogu. After returning to Jiehe Shang City, he made up classes at the Knights Academy. Later, he kept mingling with Wu Haogu, and was considered a confidant Yuan Cong.

After receiving the report, he immediately came out of the government office in Daheishan Mountain City, quickly stepped up the top of the city, raised the telescope for a while, then touched the beard on his chin, and grinned, "I'm thief, I've finally come. If I don't come again, it's cold!"
