Chapter 302: The Barbarians Heading South
On the Great Wall, countless prisoners and barbarian captives from the north carried huge stones to the Great Wall, and on this city wall, craftsmen evenly touched the magma mixed with the blood of fierce beasts on the boulders, and built these boulders on the city wall to strengthen the city wall.

The blood of the beast and the soul of the beast in these magma can effectively prevent the snooping of the soul monks, but in this way, inside and outside the Great Wall, the beasts around the Qinling Mountains have almost been killed, in fact, the ancient method of casting the wall still uses the flesh and soul of the captives to mix into it, but this method is extremely cruel, and it is necessary to torture these captives half to death, so that the captives and prisoners are full of heavy resentment, and when the soul of the prisoner is attached to the city wall, it will deter the soul monk from afar, so that he does not dare to easily run the soul to fly over the city wall.
Zhao Shu can't bear this method in his heart, he can only kill the beast, in today's era, there are many mountains and forests, there are many fierce beasts such as tigers, and there are many harms to the people in the mountains and forests on weekdays.
Since the Great Wall of five generations, the Central Plains Han people rarely come here, the place of the Great Liao's rule includes the Great Wall inside and outside, the huge city wall is not the slightest concern, and even intentionally or unintentionally destroyed, but now, a large number of craftsmen and prisoners have been conscripted here, and the imperial court has sent important ministers to govern and dominate this place. With the intensification of the construction of the Great Wall, the number of prisoners, craftsmen and soldiers increased, and the inside and outside of the Great Wall became more like a huge military camp.
It's just that there are the forefront of the rebellion of Yingbu and other prisoners in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and the cabinet, the Governor's Mansion and the Qilin Pavilion are all extremely careful in selecting the candidates for the construction of the Great Wall.
The candidate given by the Governor's Office was Zhang Xian, who had always been steady, who led the Northern General and was responsible for commanding the army inside and outside the Great Wall.
The candidate given by the cabinet was Jinshi Peiyuan in the first year of Taishi, who was responsible for the residence, food, and logistics of soldiers and prisoners inside and outside the Great Wall.
The one who came to Qilin Pavilion was Tang Ruowu, and all the transfers of soldiers and prisoners inside and outside the Great Wall had to be approved by him.
The three of them controlled the Great Wall very firmly, and at the same time built fortifications and Wu forts towards the three towns of Luanping, Chengde and Xinghua, and firmly controlled these three towns, which were also a line of extension to cut off the alliance between Western Xia and Dajin, and were also the bridgehead of the war between the two countries.
Therefore, in these three towns, there were a general, a bachelor and an official, and the officials of these three towns were under the orders of Zhang Xian, Tang Ruowu and Pei Yuan respectively.
Among the three towns, Chengde Town is the most important, this town is in the northernmost part, close to the Mobei grassland, and it is like a spike that has been inserted into the Jurchen country, so that the distance between the east and west of Dajin has to go around a big circle.
Therefore, Chengde Town was garrisoned by the governor general Guangwennan, which was also the earliest group of generals in Jiangwutang.
The person in charge of internal affairs is He Zhu, the great Confucian, although this He Zhu is a Confucian person, his cultivation is Haoran righteousness, he does not cultivate spells such as divine souls, but condenses pure yang qi, and when he casts it, it is enough to shatter any divine soul.
Originally, this person came to Chengde Town to carry out the responsibility of education, but later I don't know why I asked the court for this bachelor's responsibility, and recommended his own students to the imperial court.
Hearing that He Zhu was willing to serve as a bachelor here, Zhao Shu was overjoyed, and immediately sent official uniforms and many documents, but compared to Guangwennan and He Zhu and others, Xu Yanlai, the official in charge of internal affairs, seemed to be unknown, and only knew that this person was from Zhao Shu's old roots Qinghe Villa, who had been dealing with internal affairs in Jiaozhi and was recommended by Long Bo here.
However, after this person came to Chengde, the internal affairs should be handled properly, and the relationship between the six barbarian tribes attached to the Quartet was even more appropriate.
This Chengde Town is under the control of the three of them, but there is no mistake in the slightest, and the Mobei grassland and other barbarians have joined one after another.
The Jurchens also used many methods, but none of them could shake the defense of Chengde Town, making the Jurchens hate and helpless.
On this day, dozens of miles away from Chengde Town, a group of thousands of Hu people came towards Chengde Town, and these people were all people who came to join them.
Because the north is getting colder and colder, a large number of barbarians continue to go south, this has become a trend, Zhao Shu has no intention of stopping them at all, it is okay to enter the south, but not to live in the north, but to gradually transfer to Jiaozhi and Dali in the south, and these barbarians want to obtain the right of residence, they must serve for the Great Song Dynasty for a year or contribute a lot of goods for free.
For this arrangement, the leaders, elders and some Great Khans of the barbarian tribe naturally strongly opposed it, but for those ordinary barbarians, there was no such concern, as long as there was a life, it was a kind of happiness for them.
Even in the service, the three meals also satisfied many barbarians, especially the barbarians further north of Mobei, as long as they have a bite to eat, they can survive more than any livestock.
The comfortable environment in the south made these barbarians more happy, and even some small barbarian tribes took refuge in them.
In the face of this kind of refuge, the Great Song Dynasty will choose the best, and the rules are also extremely strict, and the barbarians will be selected, and many large tribe barbarians will be split up.
Among these conditions, the barbarians who could speak Chinese were given priority to enter the south, and they would also get better positions, and some would be absorbed into the army.
This kind of stimulation made many barbarians learn Chinese more quickly, and with the entry of a large number of barbarians, the gradually prosperous commerce of the Great Song Dynasty was also supplemented by manpower, and the handicraft industry that Zhao Shu took care of was quickly strengthened.
The most important thing is the construction of the Great Song Dynasty Inner Chi Road, the construction of post houses, the dredging of canals, the construction of the Great Wall and other huge projects have also had countless manpower.
Chengde Town is a place chosen by the barbarians, in addition to this place, the concessions and warehouses established by the Great Song Dynasty in the Dajin Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom also continue to absorb the barbarians, recruit the barbarians, in addition to recruiting the barbarians, recruit more talents in the two countries, among which handicraftsmen, skilled farmers, and talented scholars will be given priority to recruit, and then sent to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and the government will provide these people with preferential salaries and positions.
Compared with other measures, this is the real blood draw from the Western Xia and Dajin Kingdom, weakening the potential of the two countries, in order to achieve this purpose, the secret agents of the Jinyi Guard and the Secret Guard also recruited a large number of talents in the Jurchen country, and even more distant Western Regions, there are also talents.
The wealth and prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty attracted people from all over the world, and with various means, the Great Song Dynasty collected a lot of talents.
In addition to the strict selection of barbarians in the Great Song Dynasty to let the world know, the talent of Dajin and Western Xia was concealed, so that the two countries did not notice it for a while, and even the high-level leaders of the two countries did not realize the seriousness of this matter.
