Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"The crops are growing very well this year." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

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

"Your Majesty, the wheat grains are unusually full. It seems that this year is a bumper harvest year." After a while, Yu Yunwen said.

His parents are both farmers, and he also knows a lot about crops. He only needs to observe for a while to know how the crops will be harvested this year.

"Yes!" Zhao Chen nodded

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

They were talking here, at this moment, dozens of young people suddenly ran up the path in the wheat field.

These young people all had the wooden stick in their hands, and some of them even held spears in their hands.

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

Getting closer and closer to the army, they have discovered that this is their own army.

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

"Could it be that His Majesty has returned?"

Such thoughts suddenly appeared in the hearts of these young people, and they ran forward in large strides. The weather was extremely hot, and they were all out of breath. 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 His Majesty!"

All the young people stood there dumbfounded, and after a while, they suddenly knelt down, with excited expressions on their faces.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

All of a sudden, the young people shouted.

"Get up quickly. I have said many times, don't bow down in the army. You belong to the production and construction corps, and you are also soldiers, so you don't need to kneel down." Zhao Chen said.

Looking at these young people, he had an unusually cordial feeling. After staying in Xixia for almost half a year, seeing my compatriots, I was overjoyed.

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

"Of course it is." Zhao Chen smiled.

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

"Of course it was the army that defeated Xixia. We wiped out the 300,000 main force of Xixia 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 exists in name only. From now on, Xixia will never harm our Great Song Dynasty again.” Zhao Chen looked at these young people and said loudly.

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

"The main force of Xixia has been completely defeated?"

"All places in Lingzhou and Liangzhou have returned to my Da Song?"

Those young people were stunned again, and after a while, their faces showed ecstatic expressions.

While they were talking, dozens of youths arrived in the distance.

These young people first met Zhao Chen, and then heard the young people around them say these words, and they were also ecstatic at the moment.

"Xixia, was we completely defeated? I really wonder if I heard it wrong?"

"Dangxiang people have stolen the Northwest for more than a hundred years, and our Song Dynasty has always been powerless against them. This time, His Majesty's personal conquest, almost wiped out Xixia in just half a year? This is simply unbelievable!"

"Your Majesty is naturally different from others! Your Majesty is a sage who came into the world. As long as you follow His Majesty closely, you will naturally be able to win. Not to mention Xixia, Jurchen is not even mentioned."

Those young people discussed excitedly one by one.

At this moment, Zhao Chen has already ridden on the horse again, and he is going to lead the army back to Wugong County.

However, he hadn't walked a few steps when another young man came from a distance. These young men stopped Zhao Chen's horse and those of the soldiers. The leading young man strongly urged the army to go to their village. The expressions on the faces of these young people were filled with anticipation, Zhao Chen thought for a while, then nodded with a smile.

The crop fields around here are one after another, and there are more than ten villages here. At present, the army entered different villages.

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

There are thatched cottages everywhere in this Zhuangzi, and the whole Zhuangzi feels "simple". It seems that this village has just been established not long ago. Zhao Chen called the village head of this village over and asked carefully. Sure enough, this village was built by the Production and Construction Corps after it arrived here. Now there are more than 300 "villagers" in this village, but they own more than 5,000 mu of crops. The population of this era is less than one-tenth of that of later generations, and the land is vast. In addition, Guanshan has experienced wars before, and the land is even more sparsely populated. According to the young people, some "villages" are even more excessive than this village, and a young man is responsible for 20 to 30 acres of land.

"So much land? Can you cultivate it all?" Zhao Chen asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, all of us young people are not afraid of hardship or tiredness. When the farming is busy, we only rest for two or three hours a day, and work the rest of the time. Some 'villages' have too much land, and their work may be rough. But that is a last resort, we still lack labor." The village head is a young man who is just 22 years old, the young man said.

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

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

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

"Your Majesty, this..." The village head showed a hesitant expression on his face.

"Speak quickly." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there are millions of youths from the Production and Construction Corps in Guanshan. We youths are all men. There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is having no offspring. A few days ago, my mother wrote to me, saying that she had married me. Let me go back to get married. Not only me, many young people have received letters from home. But now is the busy season of farming, and it is impossible for us to go back. Moreover, we are also soldiers, and we also have military discipline requirements, so we cannot leave Guanshan at will.” The village chief blushed and said.

"It's simple. You can let those girls come to Guanshan to come 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 had forgotten the question.

Because of the war, the population loss in Guanshan was huge. After the establishment of the Production and Construction Corps, there were more than one million young people here, but all of them were men. Only men without women will not work at that time. Zhao Chen felt that after going back, 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, the concept of people in this era is quite different from that of the later generations. They pay attention to the fact that men dominate the inside and women dominate the outside, so women may not be willing to come here. Therefore, this still requires the Propaganda Department to continue to do mobilization work.

"Your Majesty, we also want to join the regular army. We also want to become soldiers of the Imperial Army, Jingyuan Army, and Huanqing Army." Another youth said.

"In the second half of the year, we will definitely recruit troops. 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 regular army is extremely hard work, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous. I hope you will consider it well." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we have already considered it! All of us want to join the regular army! Only the army is the best destination for a man, and the battlefield is the best destination for a man! I am willing." A young man said excitedly.

"Very good, I am very happy that you have such an idea. Don't worry, the army will give priority to you." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Your Majesty, can you tell us more about the Xixia battlefield?" a young man asked eagerly.

At that moment, Zhao Chen started talking again with a smile, and someone beside him stopped the other soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers also started talking one after another. In the rest of the surrounding villages, the same thing happened everywhere.

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

They stayed here for more than an hour. Those young people gave the melons and fruits they planted to the soldiers of the army to eat, and they sent clean water to the soldiers. Afterwards, they continued to persuade them to stay, and they even hoped that the army could stay here overnight, but the army had to leave before returning to Wugong County.

It's just that after the army left, these young people followed behind the army one after another.

It is only twenty or thirty miles away from Wugong County. All the way to the south, more and more young people are following behind them. Countless young people who got the news came out of their villages and followed behind the army.

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