Chapter 290: Han Qi is here
10 rode out of the crowd, sure enough, it was sent by Han Qi, if he didn't know that Zhao Xin was in Miaojiazhuang, he would definitely come directly, but such an important person, even the future emperor, no matter how proud Han Qi was, he didn't dare to bring it full, at least, the attitude he should have was to have.
Han Qi is not afraid of Zhao Xin, from now, to Zhao Xin's succession, there will be at least ten or twenty years, thirty or forty years more, life is rare for seventy years, for the emperor, even more so, but why is Renzong not a precedent?
The position of the emperor is important and important, and it is not important to say that it is not important, especially the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, who lived a rather sad life, and may not have the ability to control a family to death, but when it comes to the level of slaughter, it is absolutely inseparable from the support of the emperor.
Whether it is Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan, or the future Wang Anshi, when the emperor fully supports him, he can succeed.
On the contrary, without the support of the emperor, it was impossible to become the first assistant, to say the least.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general, not a good soldier, doesn't want to be a civil servant of the first assistant, and is not a good civil official, Han Qi, who is in his 30s, has already stood in the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, as long as he takes a small step forward, he is a giant, and even become the first assistant, it is not impossible, there is no need to be remembered by Renzong because of this little thing.
There were only 10 horsemen, and the large army was still very far away, Sun Ji immediately sent someone to contact him, and after knowing that it was Han Qi who came, he was slightly surprised, but in a blink of an eye, he already understood.
Zhao Xin made it very clear before that when the news of his safety reached Bianliang, Renzong would definitely take action.
Sure enough, now that the action is coming, it is actually Han Qi who came in person.
The team of 1,000 people, most of them were cavalry with strong mobility, and about half an hour after the arrival of the 10 exploration horses, Han Qi also came to Miaojiazhuang with a large army.
Familiar, and unfamiliar, this is Han Qi's first thought, the previous arrival, to now, almost more than 40 days, he still remembers, at that time, Miaojiazhuang was still in a dilapidation, because of the destruction of the rebels, Miaojiazhuang lost one-third of the room, even the wall, etc., are not damaged.
It's just that now, most of them have been restored, and the biggest advantage of the combination of cement and bricks is that it is fast, and when there is enough manpower, it is his characteristic to build various houses quickly.
The speed of Shenzhen in the early days of reform and opening up, the terrible construction speed of one floor in 3 days, on the one hand, represents the diligence of the Chinese, and on the other hand, it is not the characteristics of cement.
It is not a large-scale high-rise building, but a traditional 2 to 3-storey typical house, and under the premise of sufficient cement and bricks, and even steel bars, 40 days is enough to build a larger Miaojiazhuang.
Broken walls, ruined houses, these can also be regarded as helping on the side, under the original ruins, re-planning, no longer the original rough layout, hundreds of square houses, but carefully arranged, 80-100 square meters, two or three stories of small buildings, two and three bedrooms.
A two-bedroom three-storey building is enough to meet a family of about 8 people, and a three-bedroom building can meet 12-15 people, these houses greatly save land, according to the current Miaojiazhuang has 14,000 people, with an average of 7 people as a family, there will be almost 2,000 families.
According to an average of about 120, almost 360 acres, less than 0.25 square kilometers, compared with the original Miaojiazhuang, it is already a lot smaller, the original Miaojiazhuang, the circumference is more than 8 miles, under the irregular shape, than the current new home.
In other words, the 500-meter-long and wide square is enough to accommodate this new Miaojiazhuang, which is even a little smaller than the original Miaojiazhuang.
In 40 days, not only were all the houses built, but also dried up, and some of them were in a hurry, and even lived in private houses, with unique designs, neat and uniform, plus running water and other things that had never been seen before.
On all sides of the village, there are four tall water towers, they are responsible for supplying the water, the water wheel pours the water from the river, into a special pool, and then after sedimentation, it is poured into the water tower, in this era, there is no plastic or iron pipe, but there is a qualified substitute for bamboo.
As long as the bamboo is connected and then fixed to prevent water leakage, every household can use convenient water.
The simple adjustment has made a huge change in the living environment of the villagers, the space of the fortress is very large, but the space for everyone is very small, and most of the people have moved over.
What Han Qi saw was such a scene, and he thought that this dilapidated Miaojiazhuang had not been completely cleaned up until now, and it was even empty, and it was logical for them to live in it.
But after looking at the neat main house, I was amazed that Miaojiazhuang had changed dramatically, but it made 1,000 people not know where to live.
Fortunately, although there are many people living in Miaojiazhuang, the core personnel are all in the fortress, because Zhao Xin has not moved yet, and there are still some old houses that have not been cleaned up in Miaojiazhuang, where will a new grain field be built, but the spring plowing has just ended, and it is not so anxious for the time being.
Sun Ji explained his intention and told Han Qi that he could first settle people in the main house of the original Miaojiazhuang, and after a little concession, Han Qi agreed.
1,000 subordinates, 500 personal soldiers are enough to rest assured, these are all following him for many years, the least one has been more than 4 years, and the other 500 are the best among the forbidden army.
To tell the truth, after knowing that there was a conspiracy in the Baozhou Mutiny, he was very careful, there are no absolutes in the world, in case he was bribed, or if they took the initiative, it would be self-defeating.
Zhao Xin still lives in the fortress, in Han Qi's opinion, this is normal, now the Baozhou mutiny has subsided, but the participants behind the scenes have not been found, although he vaguely feels that there are really not many people who can have such ability, it stands to reason that after a failure, it will definitely stop, but there are no absolutes in the world, what if you really take risks?
1,000 people, just for the attitude, what really gave Zhao Xin safety was the fortress, this terrible defensive weapon that played a role in the Baozhou mutiny, and it had used 800 regiments to resist the attack of more than 10,000 regular troops, which was enough to prove his incomparably strong defensive power.
Han Qi is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, in his opinion, if it is not necessary, he will not enter the fortress, this is also to give them safety from the side, the longbow team and other forces are also stationed in the fortress, as long as there are things in the army, he can be the master to allocate them, even the step armor is no exception.
The regimental training received 200 infantry armor formally, although this is theirs, but regular and informal, these are two different things, with the endorsement of Han Qi, a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, plus the role of the regimental training in the Baozhou mutiny, the merits they have made, their level has already been upgraded, not to mention becoming a forbidden army, it is impossible, the top border army is no problem, and the regimental training also has this basic strength.
The border army can have a step armor, this is a question of qualifications, as for how much, it depends on the ability and the allocation from above, this point, Han Qi agreed, there is no problem at all.
Possessing a step armor, this is also an improvement for group training, or this kind of in the eyes, the attack power of the longbow, there must be a guarantee of distance, the longbow that can't pull away from the distance, is as helpless as the short bow, but the rate of fire and killing or something, a little faster.
Now Zhao Xin can give the longbow team, only the foot armor, in the future, after the practice of the spearman, it will mainly become the paper armor against arrows, after all, the spear more than 6 meters long, has the effect of blocking, preventing close quarters, arrow defense has become the most important defense.
These are all prospects, standing on the top of the fortress, looking at a lively Miaojiazhuang, in fact, in the past 40 days, Miaojiazhuang has been very lively, from construction, to moving, and now, there is more Han Qi.
It's a pity that things haven't changed quickly, and this Miaojiazhuang is destined to give up.
Zhao Xin sighed, originally, as a base camp, even now has more than 10,000 people, already has a small town, even the foundation of a small city, once under his promotion and help, when the labor force of these people is completely revealed, it will bring great productivity.
But now, he had to give up, he changed his plan, in the future, to set his sights on the seaside thousands of miles away, then the inherent local clan concept of the Chinese, how many people can go with him, even the family members of the regimental training, may not be able to take away.
These, just take it as a thank you to them, without the efforts of the team trainers, the fortress will not be able to protect his safety, a cement house, in the future, when the output of cement is getting bigger and bigger, will become an ordinary thing.
It was getting late, and it didn't take much time to pull out the camp, but it was different when camping, it was not in a fixed barracks, or a built barracks, in a specific place like Miaojiazhuang, just a settlement, it would take a lot of time.
After settling down easily, Han Qi took his own soldiers and found Sun Ji and asked to see Zhao Xin.
Han Qi wants to come to see him, Zhao Xin has already prepared for this, Han Qi, a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, came with 1,000 soldiers, and he has to be stationed down, stationed for a long time, the purpose is not what he is.
For this quite famous figure in history, Zhao Xin is also full of expectations, these contemporaries of him, or they are not as famous and in high positions as him, or they have not reigned as long as him, the elders of the three dynasties are a symbol of qualifications in themselves, not to mention, Han Qi has also supported the merits twice, and has sat firmly in the political arena for decades without falling, which even Lu Yijian has not done.
However, the current Han Qi is definitely different from the mature Han Qi later, he is still young, he has only been in the position of privy deputy for less than a year, and he is not the scheming and influential Han Qi in later generations, he is just a young and ambitious official, perhaps, talk to him, there is a different harvest.
