Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 264: Production construction

"This year's crops have grown extremely well." Zhao Chen smiled.

Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others also dismounted along with Zhao Chen and came to the field. Yu Yunwen had picked out a wheat ear, picked out the grain, and chewed lightly.

"Your Majesty, this wheat grain is abnormally full. It seems that this year is a bumper year." After a while, Yu Yunwen said.

Both his parents are farmers, and he knows the crops very well. After just observing for a while, he knew how the crops were harvested this year.

"Yes!" Zhao Chen nodded.

He looked around, surrounded by lush wheat fields. Farther away, there are sorghum fields. Standing here, with the breeze blowing, Zhao Chen has a feeling of returning to modern times. Such scenes can often be seen in modern rural areas.

They were talking here. At this moment, dozens of young people suddenly ran on the road in the wheat field.

These youths all have wooden sticks in their hands, and some of them have spears in their hands.

They just got the news that a large army had passed here, so they rushed here urgently.

They are getting closer and closer to the army, and they have discovered that this is their own army.

"Could it be that the army that attacked Xixia returned?"

"Could it be that your Majesty has returned?"

Such thoughts suddenly appeared in the hearts of these young people, and they ran forward with strides. The weather was extremely hot, and they were all panting. When they came to the army, they happened to see Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others standing in the wheat field.

"Ah! Your Majesty!"

"It's really your Majesty!"

All the young people stood there blankly, and after a while, they knelt down abruptly, with expressions of excitement on their faces.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

Suddenly young people shouted.

"Get up soon. I've said that many times, don't bow down in the army anymore. You belong to the Production and Construction Corps, and you are also soldiers, so you don't have to bow down." Zhao Chen said.

Looking at these young people, he felt an unusually cordial feeling. After staying in Xixia for almost half a year, I was very happy to see my compatriots.

"Your Majesty, are you returning from Xixia?" A young man stood up from the field and asked excitedly.

"Naturally." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Your Majesty, have you defeated Xixia's army?" The young man looked at Zhao Chen and asked urgently.

"Naturally, we have defeated Xixia’s army. We wiped out Xixia’s 300,000 main forces and forced Xixia to cede Lingzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, and Jingzhou. Countless party members have been driven to Guanshan by us, but they It came from Qinfeng Road, so you can’t see it. Now, Xixia lives in name only. From now on, Xixia will no longer endanger our Song Dynasty.” Zhao Chen looked at these young people and said loudly.

"Ah! What? Xixia survives in name only?"

"Xixia's main force has been defeated?"

"Lingzhou and Liangzhou have all returned my Da Song?"

One by one, the young people were stunned again, and after a while, expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces.

While they were speaking, dozens of young people arrived in the distance.

These young people first saw Zhao Chen, and then listened to the surrounding young people uttering these words, and they were also ecstatic right now.

"Xixia, was completely defeated by us? I really doubt whether I heard it wrong?"

"Dangxiang people have stolen the Northwest for more than a hundred years, and our Song Dynasty has always been unable to do anything with them. This time, your Majesty's personal conquest, in only half a year, almost wiped out Xixia? This is incredible!"

"Your Majesty is naturally different from others! Your Majesty is a saint who came to the world. As long as you follow your Majesty, you can naturally win. Not to mention Xixia, Jurchen is not worth mentioning."

Those young people were talking excitedly one by one.

At this moment, Zhao Chen had already rode on the horse again, and he was going to lead the army back to Wugong County.

However, before he walked a few steps, young people came in the distance. These young people stopped Zhao Chen's horses and the horses of the soldiers. The leading youth strongly demanded that the army go to their village. The expressions on the faces of these youths were extremely expectant, Zhao Chen thought for a while, smiled and nodded.

The croplands around this area are one after another, and there are more than ten villages here. Now the army entered different villages.

Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others entered the largest nearby Zhuangzi.

There are thatched houses everywhere in this village, and the whole village feels "simple". It seems that this village has just been established not long. Zhao Chen called the head of the village and asked carefully, and it turned out that the village was built by the Production and Construction Corps after it arrived here. Now there are more than 300 "village people" in this farm, but they own more than 5,000 mu of crops. The population of this era is less than one-tenth that of later generations, and the land is large. In addition, Guan Shan has experienced wars before, and the land is even more sparsely populated. According to the young people, some "villages" are even worse than this one, and a young man is responsible for twenty or thirty acres of land.

"So much land? Can you finish tilling it?" Zhao Chen asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, each of our young people is not afraid of hardship or tiredness. When the farm is busy, we only rest for two or three hours a day, and we work the rest of the time. There are too many land in some'villages', and their work may be a little rough. But that is also compelling. We still lack labor." The village chief is a young man who is just 22 years old, said the young man.

"Now the situation in Sichuan has gradually stabilized, and you can come to Guanshan from the Sichuan Symptom Youth." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"That's really great!" The village chief said excitedly.

"Do you have any difficulties on weekdays?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, this..." A hesitant expression appeared on the village head's face.

"Hurry up," Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the entire Guanshan has millions of young people from the Production and Construction Corps. All of us young people are men. There are three unfilial piety, and the last one is the greatest. A few days ago, my mother wrote to me, saying that she gave me a date. Let me go back and get married. Not only me, but many young people have received letters from home. But now is the busy time in the farming, we can not go back. Moreover, we are also soldiers, and we also have military discipline requirements, so we can’t leave and switch Shaanxi at will.” The village chief said with a reddened face.

"It's simple, you can let those girls come to Guanshan to the production and construction corps. They can also join the production and construction corps. If you want, you can start a family in the production and construction corps." Zhao Chen laughed.

He has forgotten this question.

Due to the war, the population of Guanshan was lost greatly. After the establishment of the Production and Construction Corps, there were millions of young people here, but all of them were men. Only men without women can't do it. Zhao Chen felt that after he returned, he should have a good discussion with everyone in the Military Aircraft Department, and it would be best to mobilize young women to come to Guanshan and join the Production and Construction Corps. However, people's ideas in this era are quite different from those of later generations, and women are not necessarily willing to come here when they pay attention to men leading the inside and women leading the outside. Therefore, this also requires the Propaganda Department to continue its mobilization work.

"Your Majesty, we also want to join the regular army. We also want to be soldiers of the Forbidden Army, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army." There is also a young man.

"In the second half of the year, we will definitely conscript. At that time, priority will be given to the production and construction corps. Those of you who perform well can enter the regular army. However, the unusual hardship in the regular army and the unusual danger on the battlefield, I hope you all consider it." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we have already considered! We all want to join the regular army! Only the army is the best destination for men, and the battlefield is the best destination for men! Even if we die on the battlefield, we will Willingly." A young man said with excitement.

"Very well, I am very happy that you have such an idea. Don't worry, the army will choose you first." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Your Majesty, can you tell us more about the Xixia battlefield?" There was a young man who wanted to say.

At that moment, Zhao Chen laughed and talked again. Someone beside him held other soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers also talked. In the surrounding villages, this happened everywhere.

Not long afterward, cheers were heard in every village. In addition to the cheering voices, the voices of "Long live Your Majesty" and "Long live Song Dynasty" can be heard continuously.

They stayed here for more than an hour. The young people gave the melons and fruits they planted to the soldiers of the army to eat, and they delivered the clear water to the soldiers. After that, they kept staying. They even hoped that the army could stay here overnight. However, the army had to say goodbye to return to Wugong County.

Only after the army left, these young people actually followed the army one after another.

It is only 20 or 30 miles away from Wugong County, and more and more young people are following them all the way to the south. Countless young people who received the news came out of their villages and followed the army.

When the sun went down, they finally saw Wugong County in the distance, and at this moment, there were countless people coming here from the distance.
