Outside the city of Jiaozhou, it has been occupied by continuous camps.
After digging the trenches and drainage channels that were gradually approaching the city, the fragrance of the opening of the battlefield once again permeated these neat and uniform camps. Zheng Wangziming (Wang Yanzhang), the former team in front of the army, also swallowed heavily and was the last one, retreating to the front line composed of numerous refusal, bamboo spears, and blocks.
On the hardened ground that had been leveled and paved with gravel, the cart with food had been surrounded by several long queues; the big bucket of Jiaozhou rice and bean rice balls steamed with salt lentils, holding such a big one in one hand Dumplings, two or three are especially hungry and full; side dishes are a spoonful of tofu with shrimp paste and a spoonful of simmered tempeh salted fish; dipped in rice dumplings, it is bite after bite full of taste.
During this period, the villages and towns along the way that had been rescued from the bandits and the savages were also driven to drive pigs and sheep, or used carts to push local fruits and vegetables to the army for reward; Let them, who are just on duty, have a handful of plums or a few lychees, and a sweet and sour peach as a snack fruit after a meal.
Fortunately, there is also the green coconut from the sea, which is split into a slit. It has sweet juice to drink and crunchy coconut meat to taste; compared to the grilled and cooked meats that are already a bit accustomed to eating. , It can be said to be useful. At least in the life of Wang Ziming, he has not tasted so many kinds of bright fruits.
This has also made many soldiers who originally came from the Northland feel amazed and touched in all manners. This is like a fairy-like day; after all, even in the Northland, those officials and wealthy businessmen do not always have the opportunity to eat. What about the fresh fruit. Let alone make it into a variety of simmered rice, soup pots, and juices, and eat them like flowers from time to time.
But in the words of the census teams who have been to places in the army, these things are only fresh in the local area; in the local countryside, they are actually very much and cheap; because of the local phenology and suitable water and soil, these fruits and trees are almost distributed everywhere. There are constant harvests throughout the year; therefore, after these fruits are ripe, they cannot be picked for many times, and often they can only be rotten on the ground; and many natives in the mountains hardly own any property, and can live by eating the fruits. under.
Therefore, for the needs of follow-up operations and governance, in the future, the rebels intend to open some local workshops tailored to local conditions, specializing in dried and pickled fruit products; on the one hand, they are exclusively for the daily needs of the army, on the other hand, they can also be resold to other places. Go for profit. In addition, to activate the local market circulation, create more livelihood means of people.
Nevertheless, in the years when Wang Ziming traveled north and south, it seemed that he had not lived such a comfortable life, or had never thought that marching and fighting could be so useful. It is no longer an exile being surrounded and blocked by the officers and soldiers and the native soldiers of the Tu Tuan, and living in an unsettled place, or even an army of riots that only cares about the present.
It is to rescue Li Shu from the dignified and upright division that hangs over water and fire; with the territorial boundaries, household registration, and production under the jurisdiction of the eight classics, it can be more like an army's tactics than an army, and it will arrange troops and manage grain roads in a well-regulated manner. Easily gather many boats to do the things that have been tossed and attacked hundreds of miles across the sea
All this was like a dream, and it happened to them. Obviously, it was the "monk" leading "Mr. Xu" who brought about the changes and achievements.
According to the teachings of the leading "Mr. Xu" to everyone at the seminar, an important mission for the Rebels to appear in this world is to find ways to break and destroy the wealthy families and unscrupulous merchants who often think they are hoarding strange things. The means of exploitation by generations; and the things that these toiling people have worked so hard to produce can be widely circulated to everyone in need at an appropriate price.
Therefore, as a rebel army that appeals to the common people for justice for the poor, not only must they have the ability to go to battle to kill the enemy and eradicate the lackeys of the court, but also have the means of farming, mining, building, and doing business that can create livelihoods and well-being for the people. .
He also believed that for a while, if it were not for the increased control and monopoly of the imperial court, coupled with the peculiar hoarding of those big businessmen colluding with businessmen, forcing the people to be unable to eat salt and their bodies swollen and relieved, why would they risk beheading? Going to risk secretly transporting the bitter black salt, and then being forced to rise up to rebel in order to survive.
Suddenly the whistle blew, but the enemy troops in the city rushed out to harass and attack them. This is the third time today that this kind of harassment has been directed at their camp and fortification project.
Therefore, he did not hurriedly licked the remaining juice in his hand before he picked up the crossbow that was placed on the side and began to wind and calibrate; as a farmer who has become used to it, such good things cannot be wasted in the slightest. It will be a blessing.
Then, on the river bank to the west of the camp, many slat-like river boats that flowed down from the upper urban area were leaning against, and many scattered enemy soldiers rushed down from it.
. . . . . . .
In another place outside Jiaozhou City, Zhou Huaian was also observing the military situation on the high platform formed by the pile of dirt in front of the formation.
According to the information collected and inquired before, the Daluo city I was facing was relatively narrow and narrow compared with the relatively narrow sub-city (inner city) left by the three prefectures of Nanhai in the Qin Dynasty. The Daluo City (outer city) built by the post office is much larger; it can be described as an out-and-out large city.
After seeing it with my own eyes, I was still amazed by it. Because this is a natural environment surrounded by the Red River and its tributary Zhuluan River, it is dangerous on three sides, but the southeast side can only be attacked from land. The base is made of red rammed earth city walls and off-white stone walls. , Like two-color bands clustered on the horizon.
According to the repair records found by Zhou Huai'an from the remnants of the local government books, its circumference was at least 13,000 steps. The outer wall was two feet and six feet high, and the base of the wall was also two feet and six feet wide. The bamboo canopy that prevents arrows and rains from washing away, but looks like a damp strip.
And under the outer wall, there is a large stretch of square area, and there are continuous six-foot-high breast walls on all sides as a screen; among them, there are 6 large and small city gates, 5 gate towers, 55 buildings, 34 stairs, and another There are 3 water diversion pipelines leading directly to the river without interrupting the water source;
A river embankment with a height of 30 feet (5 meters), a width of three feet (10 meters) at the bottom, and a circumference of more than 10,000 steps (7086 meters) was built outside the wall to protect the entire city and thousands of newly built rivers. The houses were protected from floods. It also constitutes a kind of condescending resistance to the attack from the river.
Therefore, thanks to its unique geographical advantage, it was named "Hanoi" on the basis of the original site of Daluo City in later generations, because it overlooks the Red River in the east, the West Lake in the north, and the Suli River in the southwest. This is also a major feature of the ancient Vietnamese monkeys. A large number of place names and regional appellations are all efforts to copy the place names of the Central Plains dynasty to show the style of small China that is different from the barbarians such as Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Lao;
The origin of this place in Hanoi is also the same. It originated from the Yellow River basin during the Warring States Period, the land of Hanoi (the area north of the Yellow River), which was called the "Three Rivers" together with Hedong and Hexi.
Seeing this Daluo City built by Gao Pian after regaining Jiaozhou more than ten years ago, full of Tang style, it is also the capital city of successive generations used as the Ding Ding by the Annan local government, which was independent of the later generations; Zhou Huaian did not think of it. Later generations have some narratives and public cases about "Song with iron and blood".
You must know that my Da Song claims that the economy, population and culture are far superior to the previous dynasties, but after "sharing the world with scholar-officials," the national power that can be mobilized and used cannot even be defeated by several independent separatist forces. There is the local separatist forces of Annan that have evolved from this quiet navy.
Even the Southern Han Dynasty, the bottom of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and a small local government, can suppress and regain your Annan homeland. When I reach the Song Dynasty, it has become a side trouble for repeated invasions. Even if we win the battle, we will have to cede territories. Soothing the other party; let alone occupying the party Xiang Xixia in Longyou, Hexi, and part of the pass, it has become a kind of funny comedy full of black humor.
This kind of behavior, which most of the time is blocked by people at home and passively resists, actually has the face to claim that "I have a very high rate of victory in foreign wars, far more than the previous generation." This is simply after being beaten back and forth. The so-called hitting the swollen face and filling the fat man said frankly, "My face is hard and thick, see, his hands are hurting...
In contrast, the Tang dynasty was able to rely on a limited population and economy to sling the Quartet, leaving the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties and called it a temporary reputation; even if there are stains and dark sides, the overall lower limit is lowered, but countless capable people have followed suit Under the circumstances, we can always cheer up again and again from the low tide, and have been strong until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
For example, after the Weishui League in the early Tang Dynasty, they relied on the vigorous and prosperous Zhenguan, and captured the khan of the East and the Turks. The Qingyi cap served wine and danced in the court; there were Taizong’s laborers who tried to conquer Goryeo to no avail, and there was also Gaozong. Destroy Goryeo and capture the last king and sacrifice to Taimiao;
Even after the prosperity and decline of the Anshi Rebellion, and the momentary shame of Tubo trapping the capital and borrowing troops to return to He, it is still possible to rely on the continuous efforts of successive emperors and ministers to create a few degrees of resurgence. But Tubo and Huihe, these strong neighbors for the time being, have all become the dust of history. Even during this period, some prisoners of war were not able to defend the territory, but at least they still left the law of ancient times for future generations.
Only I, Dasong, have nothing to do with the age of civil war in the divided territory left by the ancestors. Not to mention the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Chinese land of Kyushu in the traditional sense cannot be maintained at all.
After the defeat of Youzhou, I never wanted to regain Yanyun’s homeland; this Tanyuan alliance’s coins were handed over to the Liao Kingdom to perish as soon as they were handed over, and then I wanted to pick up the bargains and slapped people back on the street, for two generations. The emperor and all the wives and daughters of the noble princes and ministers of the clan were packed and stuffed to serve as public toilets for the Hu people;
Then, the Southern Song regime killed the heroes who were expected to recover the rivers and mountains, continued to cede the land and pay compensation to the golden people, and handed them to the rise of Mongolia, and then changed the name to the Yuan Dynasty. Then there is no need to hand in, because the Southern Song Dynasty also perished in Yashan.
However, there are people who clean up the land for this kind of meat-cutting behavior. It is claimed that our economy is developed and the people are wealthy. They don't care about this small amount of money; as long as the country's material resources and the love of the captives are measured, they can speed up the economy of the enemy country by sending money. The influence and penetration of culture goes so far.
From the foundation of the founding of the country, it is a deformed regime that is cruel to the outside and cruel to the inside, that is, those who dream that they can become a small group of literati, and later dominate the well-known and comprador with ulterior motives, they will spare no effort to flatter the smell. With the feet, make a gesture of why you can't understand each other. (End of this chapter)
