The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 637

"Welcome to the great virtuous teacher!"

All the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army standing on the official road held their heads high, clenched their fists in their chests, looked solemn, and paid attention to them.

Xu An clenched his right fist, raised it in the same way, hung his fist in front of his chest, and saluted solemnly.

The Yellow Turban Army stipulates that no matter what position they hold, as long as someone salutes them, they must return the salute. This rule was made by Xu An himself, and Xu An is now strictly abiding by the rules he set.

Kneeling, head bowing and other etiquettes are etiquettes to express surrender, and those who salute will inevitably have a little inferiority complex.

This kind of etiquette may have some benefits in the army, a place that pays attention to military orders like mountains.

But with such benefits, the army that can be cultivated will eventually only be an army with a feudal atmosphere.

No matter how advanced and powerful that army is, it is always an army with a feudal atmosphere.

For a long time, Xu An has worked hard to improve the quality and awareness of his soldiers.

In every team, every village, every song, and every department, Xu An has arranged positions for Taiping Dao's Fu Zhu.

Combat affairs belonged to the officers of the army, and ideological affairs belonged to Fu Zhu, and those Fu Zhu were Xu An's most loyal and strongest supporters.

The Taipingdao thought revised by Xu An is engraved into the minds of the soldiers in each song and song through the preaching of those Fuzhu in each song and song, affecting them.

The opening of the literacy class and Fu Zhu's preaching made the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army gradually get rid of ignorance and ignorance.

The grievance meeting in the army also made them understand how tormented the lives of other people are, and some of the same experiences also made them empathize and unite them together.

The drama performed by the mission department in the army made them understand that they were naturally against the powerful family, and also learned many things in this world that they didn't know before.

What Xu An wants is not an army that is poisoned by feudal ideology. Relying on such an army, even if he really unifies the world and defeats all the enemies in the world, what he can finally build is another feudal empire. reincarnation.

He wanted an army of sound faith, full of vigor, vigor, and open-mindedness.

Only such an army can truly break the endless cycle of hundreds of years, truly influence the world, and truly change the world.

No feudal dynasty can really implement the world of Huangtian, Xu An is very clear, no matter how the productivity develops, there is absolutely no way.

In fact, the world of Huang Tian written in that book is really difficult to realize, Xu An is also very clear about it.

But even if it is impossible for the so-called world of Huang Tian to exist, this is not a reason to give up fighting for it.

Ideas, productivity...

Times limited Xu An's development, and his steps were too big, so big that it was difficult for many people to keep up with his steps, and so big that many people could not accept his ideas.

Even if Xu An wins all the way, masters the "Taiping Jing" and the right to interpret the Taiping Dao, all kinds of halos almost make him look like a real fairy in the eyes of the world, but Xu An's drastic reforms have indeed touched Bottom line for some conservatives.

The conservative forces in Taiping Dao have slowly begun to emerge, and Xu An has also discovered that there is something wrong with the forces, which also makes Xu An vigilant.

Not everyone in Taiping Dao trusts Xu An unconditionally like Liu Pi and Gong Du, and is willing to closely follow Xu An's footsteps.

This is the case in the Dao, how can there be no conservative forces among the forces.

What Xu An is carrying out now is actually reform, and reform will undoubtedly be resisted by conservative forces.

If we want to break the cycle of reincarnation and build a brand new country, a country of the people themselves, the current reforms are definitely not enough.

Both the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Road need to carry out more reforms and carry out greater reforms.

After the world is unified, reforms and amendments must be carried out in all aspects.

At this stage, there will definitely be wild resistance from conservative forces and the opposition, and they will do everything they can to prevent the implementation of reforms.

Conservative forces and the opposition are not only external enemies, but also internal enemies.

If the reform is to be successful, there must be an army that can support him at critical moments and consistently stand in the same camp as him.

An army poisoned by feudal ideology, they will only blindly obey their superiors and obey their generals.

And an army with correct beliefs, full of vigor, vigor, and open-mindedness, they will understand who they should support at critical moments, because they will always stand on the side of the people, not the side of the powerful family .

Looking at the group of soldiers in front of him with their heads held high and their chests held high, Xu An felt that the pressure on his shoulders had eased a lot.

He is not alone, all the soldiers under his command believe in him, are willing to support him, are willing to follow behind him and go forward with him, and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

The breeze blew past, blowing the flags fluttering in the sky.

Xu An turned his head to look to his side, and a group of Tengxiang guards holding horned dragon flag guns led their horses to guard him on both sides.

Behind him was a large number of yellow angels accompanying him, whether it was Teng Xiangwei or the yellow angels, they all knelt in the Taiping Temple devoutly, swore to Huang Tian, ​​and were willing to give everything for Huang Tian's world, even their own lives.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Lord Yan is more powerful than he was back then."

Seeing Yan Zhong approaching slowly leading the horse, Xu An also showed a smile on his face.

"When did Duke Ming learn the language of flattery?"

Yan Zhong also showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile.

"I have been away from Liangzhou for too long. I thought I would not adapt to the climate of Liangzhou, but it turned out to be the opposite."

"It's still hard to leave my homeland..."

A look of sadness flashed in Yan Zhong's eyes.

He has been an official abroad for many years, and he only returned to Liangzhou when his parents passed away to observe their filial piety. Thinking about it now, after the young man left home to embark on an official career alone, he had almost no contact with his parents at home.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on, and the child wants to support but the kiss does not wait.

However, Yan Zhong was Yan Zhong after all, and he quickly recovered and readjusted his emotions.

He is still the man in his fifties who is still ambitious, dares to go deep into Taihang, and devotes himself to the Taiping Road, which was still uncertain at that time.

"Liangzhou animal husbandry has heavy affairs and heavy responsibilities. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan."

Xu An made a bow with both hands, and solemnly bowed to Yan Zhong.

Liangzhou and Bingzhou are far apart. The local situation in Liangzhou is complicated, Qiang and Han are mixed together, and conflicts inevitably arise. Liangzhou has always been restless. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was almost always in a state of turmoil.

Although the current situation in Liangzhou is completely different from before due to the intervention of the Yellow Turban Army, it is not easy to manage Liangzhou properly.

"Duke Ming led troops to pacify Liangzhou. Now Liangzhou is peaceful and peaceful, and Qiangdi surrendered. In fact, it is much easier to be a shepherd in Liangzhou in Ji County than in Jinyang before."

Yan Zhong waved his hand slightly, indicating that it's okay, then pointed to the gate of Chang'an City, and said with a smile.

"Chang'an is right in front of you. Why don't you go to the city first, and we can chat together during the celebration banquet?"

"What Yan Gong said is true."

Xu An is a good follower, and it is indeed a bit too long to waste time outside Chang'an City.

Afterwards, Xu An and Zhang Yan exchanged a few words briefly, and then stopped there.

Xu An stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and gently kicked the horse's belly, and Ben Xiao, who was sitting under his seat, moved his horse's hooves and walked forward slowly.

Yan Zhong and Zhang Yan also led their horses into the follow-up team.

Jia Xu consciously stepped aside from Xu An's side, allowing Yan Zhong to join in.

Zhang Yan joined the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army generals behind him.

The sound of horseshoes was messy, and the sound made by a horseshoeed horse trampling on the official road was much clearer and more powerful than the sound made by ordinary horseshoes.

Xu An raised his head and looked at the city gate in front of him. The city gate in front of him was extremely tall. Compared with the city wall in front of him, the gate of Jinyang City was nothing compared to the city wall in front of him.

On the city wall, khaki flags fluttered, and one after another soldiers stood on it, guarding Chang'an.

Looking at Chang'an City from a distance already shocked Xu An, but when he saw it up close, it was even more shocking.

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City had twelve gates in total, and each gate had three gates.

From north to south in the east are Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate and Bacheng Gate.

From east to west in the south are Fu'an Gate, Anmen Gate and Xi'an Gate.

From west to east in the north are Hengmen, Chucheng Gate and Luocheng Gate.

From north to south in the west are Yongmen, Zhichengmen and Zhangchengmen.

Anmen is the gate in the middle of the south wall of Han Chang'an City, and Anmen is also the main gate to the south of Han Chang'an City.

The north of Anmen is facing the arsenal between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace. The street entering from the gate runs through the north and south of the city, and is the main avenue of Chang'an City in Han Dynasty.

Anmen got its name because it means to pray for the safety and security of the city.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he obtained an ancient tripod from Fenyang and entered Chang'an through this gate, so this city gate was also called Dinglu Gate later.

When Wang Mang was in power, he changed its name to Guanglimen. Later, Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, and the name of the city gate was changed back to Anmen.

The corridor of the city gate was also full of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and Xu An drove his horse into the corridor slowly.

The crisp and powerful sound of horseshoes echoed in the corridor of the city gate, the sound of hunting banners, the sound of armor clashing, and the panting of war horses were all amplified several times in the corridor of the city gate.

The walls of Chang'an City are all rammed with loess, about [-] meters high and about [-] meters wide. There is a moat outside the city walls, about [-] meters wide and [-] meters deep.

Anmen, as the south gate of the main avenue of Chang'an City, was naturally built extremely tall, just entering Anmen, Xu An's heart was filled with waves.

Soon after Liu Bang founded the country, he modified the Xingle Palace in the Qin Dynasty and renamed it Changle Palace, and moved the capital here from Liyang. Xiao He then presided over the construction of Taicang and Arsenal.

The current city wall of Chang'an was built during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty. In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the North Palace, Gui Palace, Mingguang Palace, and Jianzhang Palace were built, and the Kunming Pool and Shanglin Garden were excavated. It took [-] years before it was completed.

Because the city wall was built after Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were built, in order to accommodate the location of the Second Palace and the flow direction of the Weihe River in the north of the city, the city wall was built into an irregular square without the northwest corner, and the south of the west wall and the west of the south wall were bent outwards. It is said that Chang'an City "is in the shape of a south bucket in the south, and in the shape of a big bucket in the north", or "Doucheng".

The main buildings in the city include Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, Beigong, Guigong, Armory, etc. Weiyang Palace is composed of more than [-] palaces including the Front Hall and Jiaofang Hall.

After Xinmang, the palaces, city gates, and arsenals in Chang'an City were destroyed successively. Although there were constructions and decorations in subsequent dynasties, they still failed to restore the grand occasion of the Western Han Dynasty.

However, Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty was quite different from that in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also different from Jinyang and other cities.

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was mainly composed of the royal palace and its ancillary facilities. Markets and folk houses only accounted for a very small part, and most of the residents lived outside Chang'an City.

Those who can live in the residences of Chang'an City are all dignitaries and dignitaries.

On the left side of the main avenue of Chang'an City is Weiyang Palace in the west, and on the right side is Changle Palace in the east.

Changle Palace has actually become the palace of the Empress Dowager since Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty lived in Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace, the main palace of the Western Han Empire, the political center and national symbol of the Han Dynasty, was built on the basis of the original Qin Shizhang Terrace. It is located on Longshouyuan, the highest southwest corner of Han Chang'an City.

Xu An turned his head to look to the west, which was the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace was once the political center of the Han Empire and a symbol of the country. The main hall of the Great Dynasty is located at the highest point of Chang'an City. From the main road, the main hall of the Great Dynasty can be seen at a glance.

"It's nothing but magnificent..."

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help praising that Luoyang's imperial palace was far inferior to Chang'an City after all.

Xu An's expression was slightly condensed, and only after entering Chang'an City did he truly see the magnificence of Weiyang Palace.

He remembered a story he read in a book when he read the history of the early Han Dynasty.

There is a legend recorded in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu".

During the Qin Dynasty, a black dragon came out of Nanshan Mountain to drink the Weishui River. The route it passed later became a mountain range, more than sixty miles long, with the Weishui River at its head and Fanchuan at its tail.

Xiao He built Weiyang Palace, "cut off the dragon's head and camp it", "the mountain is the foundation, not a false building".

"The mountain is the foundation..."

Weiyang Palace has gone through several wars, and even though it has been repaired in many ways, it is said that it is still not as grand as it used to be.

Xu An looked at the majestic Weiyang Palace in front of him, it was really unimaginable.

Not only Xu An, but also the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who followed Xu An, as well as the soldiers looked at the scene in Chang'an City, and it was difficult to maintain indifference.

There was a slight commotion among the accompanying team.

"It's really like going to Beijing to catch an exam..."

Xu An's eyes were solemn, he didn't turn his head to look at the team behind him, even his mind was shaken by Chang'an City, and the rest of the generals would definitely feel turbulent when they saw the scene here.

Xu An suddenly realized that he looked down on Dong Zhuo.

But now he can finally understand why Dong Zhuo had the upper hand, but after entering Luoyang City, he started to make frequent tricks, thus losing the best chance to control the world...
