Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1382
Costin soared freely, flying over hills, over forests, across a lake, and appeared above the majestic city.

Bohai State Shangjing Longquan Mansion.

Bohai has been a state for 200 years, and Shangjing has been the capital for more than 140 years. It can be called the most powerful city outside Linyu Pass.

Yes, even though Daxia was constructing large-scale projects in Andong Mansion, Yingzhou and other places, there was still no city that could compare to the majesty, magnificence and richness of Shangjing.

More than 30 miles around the outer city has surpassed Bianzhou in the Central Plains, which is similar to Yangzhou.

Generally speaking, twenty miles around the city is the normal size of a state city.Longquanfu City is more than [-] miles away, and it is already a second-tier city in the Central Plains after Chang'an and Luoyang.

The circumference of the imperial city is six miles, which is equivalent to the size of a county in the Central Plains.As a pure office location, Shangjing Imperial City gathers almost all government offices in Bohai State, with cornices, carved galleries and painted buildings, magnificent and majestic.

Miyagi Castle is more than five miles away, and if you count the gardens and liquid ponds of almost the same size, this Miyagi city is considered a bit high-end. It is not the palace of the king of Caotou. Most of the general separatist regimes are not as good as the imperial residence. .

The 200-year accumulation and heritage of the Bohai Kingdom is terrifying!
On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, the Bohai King, Da Chiu Zhuan, and Queen Gao went to Beiyuan for an outing, accompanied by a large number of civil and military officials.

The Xia people are aggressively advancing, the battle is extremely tense, bad news comes every day, and Da Chiu Zhuan is terribly bored, so he goes out of the city to relax.

Like Chang'an, Shangjing also likes to build some forbidden gardens outside the city as places for the royal family to play and hunt.

Beiyuan "is on the Huhan River (Mudanjiang) in the north, Wangcheng in the south, Dachuan (Mudanjiang) in the west, and extends to the Malian River in the east."

In fact, it is the transition zone between Mudanjiang and Shangjing, with open terrain, mountains and rivers, and beautiful scenery.The kings of all dynasties of the Bohai Kingdom rode horses and hunted here, and used sticks to kill.At the same time, it is also an important station of the Bohai Forbidden Army.

Considering that the Bohai people once went to Chang'an to investigate, draw up blueprints, and then follow the gourd to build their own capital.Then with Beiyuan, it must be the same as Chang'an, and the whole Xiyuan will come out.

In fact there is.

Between the west of Shangjing City and the Mudanjiang River, there is a flat land, seven or eight miles from east to west, and more than ten miles from north to south, with various landforms.

According to the textual research of the literati who were exiled to the Ninggu Pagoda in the Qing Dynasty, the southern edge of Xiyuan is a low mountain area, and the north is connected to Beiyuan.The people of Bohai transformed it into a barracks, which was actually the acropolis to the west of Shangjing.

On the western edge of this area, there is a stone bridge connecting the small island in the river.There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions on the island, which are exquisitely decorated and resplendent in gold and jade.

The Lord of the Bohai Sea sometimes lives on a small island, listening to the sound of the surging river, birds and wild animals at night.Sometimes there will be a banquet here, leaving many poems.

After all, Bohai is a country as civilized as Goguryeo, not a barbarian.

Outside the traditional Han land in Northeast China—generally speaking, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Han people have mainly been active in the southern half of Liaoning, the northern half of Liaoning, and the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang. a splendid civilization.

As far as the level of literature, agriculture, iron smelting, and architecture is concerned, from the Liao Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the period of thousands of years may have reached a peak in stages.At least, after the demise of the Bohai Kingdom, I have never heard of how many people in this area can recite poems, paint and study calligraphy.

Today, Da Xuezhuan lost interest in reciting poems and painting. Looking at the lush forest and the garden where wild bees were flying, his face was sullen, angry, angry and helpless.

Queen Gao opened her mouth, wanting to persuade, but finally sighed and said nothing.

The members of the Bohai clan headed by Pei Qi looked around and whispered.

The Bohai Kingdom is actually a typical family politics. There are 28 surnames in the country, with Dashi as the head.

In addition to the Da family, there are also "right surnames" such as the Gao family, the Zhang family, the Yang family, the Dou family, the Wu family, and the Li family, all of whom are top families in the country.

The Gao family is a descendant of Goguryeo, and most of the rest are Chinese surnames taken by Sumo Mohe people.

After the demise of Bohai, civilization took a big step backwards, and the surnames of these famous families in Bohai have undergone some evolution.

For example, the Zhang family gradually evolved into "Zhang Jia's", Yang's into "Yang Jia's", Wu's into "Uzala's", Li's into "Li Jia's" and so on.

In addition to the "right surname", there are second-class surnames, such as He, Pei, Cui, Shen, Xin, Wen, etc. Most of them are Han people, and there are also Goguryeo people, but now they are all Bohai people. .

The attitudes of the elites are actually very subtle, and this is where the leader of the Bohai Sea, Da Xuezhuan, is troubled.

According to his thinking, "I am not the king of the subjugated country", these clansmen are all fucking "ministers of the subjugated country", which made it very difficult for him to cheer up.

"The war is urgent and changes every day. The Xia people have already besieged Dongmu Mountain and Aodong City. Do you have a good strategy?" Da Chiu Zhuan had already got the Ju Zhang in his hand and threw it to the eunuch, asking frowningly .

All the officials look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.

There was a flash of greenness on the face of the elder brother, and his fists were clenched subconsciously.

He has just turned [-] this year, which is the age of not admitting defeat.In his opinion, Chaozhong had to rectify it and kill a few more people, so that these elites would feel scared and act honestly.

It has always been his proudest work to send Prime Minister Wu Zendu to prison.Otherwise, how could the courtiers be so obedient?

Uncle Wang Dashuxian was also placed under house arrest by him.

Gou Lianxia, ​​wanting to follow Damen Yi's old story, is so frantic that killing him is not an exaggeration - in fact, Da Jianzhuan already has the urge to kill him.

Not only did he want to kill Da Shuxian, but even Wu Zendu wanted to kill him as well.

But he hasn't made up his mind yet.The involvement is too great, and if it is not done well, the whole line will collapse, and everyone will betray their relatives.But that killing intent kept surging in his chest, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

"Your Majesty, I invite Beishou." Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Pei Qiu had no choice but to stand up.

"Beishu..." Da Xuezhuan punched the horse beside him with his fist.

The horse is in pain, and the man stands up.The big man didn't even look at it, and asked angrily, "Where can I go?"

"Dongping Mansion is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, with sufficient soldiers and food, which can be a long-term plan." Pei Qiu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The morale of the defenders in Dongmou and Aodong is low, and they may not be able to last long. Once they fail, the bandit army will face a sea of ​​sweat."

"It's really hard to prevent the Xia people from marching in multiple directions."

"Fuyu is the main force along the way. As long as Aodong City is defended, there is still a chance to turn around."

"The Xia Bandit Luoyan Army marched eastward from the Mansion of Hujie. Although it is a partial division, can it be stopped? As for Aodong City, I think it will be gone in a few days."

"Xia Zei's soldiers are very sharp, it's better to avoid them."

After Pei Qi opened his mouth, other people also joined in, chattering, but it was obviously all nonsense.Moreover, both inside and outside the words, they are supporting the running away, which makes Da Chi Zhuan even more unbearable.

"That's enough!" the old man roared angrily.

Queen Gao held his hand tightly, weeping silently.

Bohai five capitals and fifteen prefectures, in fact, most of the states and counties are still in their own hands, so why are they about to be killed to Wang Jing?

If we really want to talk about it, it is still the problem of last year, and it can even be traced back to the war with Khitan a few years ago.

When Hujie Mansion, Fuyu Mansion, and Suzhou were captured by Khitan, Zhongjing and Shangjing were already exposed to the enemy's soldiers.

And when the Khitan was defeated by the Xia people last year, the whole country really rejoiced, everyone thought that the lost ground could be regained, with the entire western defense line.

But the reality gave them a blow to the head. The Xia people brazenly sent troops to compete with the Bohai Forbidden Army for the Fujie Mansion and Suzhou, and fought a fierce battle.And this dispute directly led to the war between the two countries.Later, Changling Mansion fell to Xijing Yalu Mansion and many prefectures and counties were captured by Xia people.If it wasn't for the coming of winter and the heavy snowfall, the Xia people would never stop here.

The fall of Hujiefu and Suzhou was fatal, really fatal!Even a woman like the Gao family could tell: after more than half a year of adjustments in winter and spring, the Xia army was divided into three groups, and the main force of the road came directly to the capital.

Once they are allowed to conquer Aodong City, they can basically reach directly under Wangjing City——Aodong City, which is located in the southeast of Dunhua City in later generations and was once the early capital of Bohai Kingdom.

Thirty miles west of Aodong City, there is another Dongmou Mountain City, located more than 20 miles southwest of Dunhua City. It was built by Da Zuorong, and it was also the capital of Bohai Kingdom. It is located on a lonely mountain.

These two cities are both Goguryeo style, built of quarried stone, very strong.There is water, food and grass in the city, and there is no danger of being besieged by people. In theory, it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But, are the people in the city okay?No one can guarantee.

"Bohai Guozuo is 210 years old." Looking at the vibrant Beiyuan, Da Chiao Zhuan said, "What a wonderful land. A handful of seeds are sown in spring, and one acre of land can harvest seven or eight bushels of bushes in autumn, which is better than summer." The country's mu harvest is even more..."

The officials listened silently, while Pei Qiu looked at the king worriedly.

The lord of the country grew up in the hands of a woman in the deep palace. He was born with rich clothes and fine food. He has never suffered hardships or fought wars. Does he know what kind of crisis he is facing now?Don't do anything unreasonable...

"It's ridiculous to say it." Da Chi Zhuan suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and said: "The Yalu Mansion in Xijing is still fighting with the Xia bandits, the Xiande Mansion in Zhongjing is standing by and waiting for help, Tokyo, Nanjing, Suibin Mansion, Tie Li Mansion, Anbian Mansion and other places gathered soldiers and horses of King Qin one after another. The five capitals are still in place, so why do you think you can't defend them?"

"The five capitals are still here!" Having said this, Da Chiu Zhuan looked a little angry, and raised his sword to question the officials.

The officials hurriedly avoided, for fear of being stabbed to death by the king's sword.

"Your Majesty..." A green robed official rushed over from a distance, panting.

"What's the matter?" Da Jianzhuan turned around and looked at him.

Seeing the sword in the master's hand, the little official felt a pang in his heart, but he still bit the bullet and reported: "The two prefectures of Huaiyuan and Anyuan came to report that the natives in the territory of the Heishui Governor's Mansion gathered their troops and horses, and they seemed to be going south. .And there are envoys crossing mountains and ridges, sneaking into the northern mansions, and instigating rebellion among various ministries."

As soon as this remark came out, the Bohai officials who were avoiding were also shocked.

They were going to recruit Heishui Mohe to defend against the enemy, but you told me they rebelled?
"Pfft!" The big man stabbed the green-robed official to death with a sword.

"Bring all the twelve scorpions and the mianfu." Da Chiu Zhuan drew out his sword, threw it on the ground, and said, "I—the imperial conquest."

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Everyone exhorted.

Empress Gao tightly hugged the thigh of Da Jianzhuan, crying: "Your Majesty, it's not time to do anything. There are still soldiers in Huaiyuan and Anyuan, and there will be no problems in a short time. Aodong City is not so easy. Being conquered, why is this!"

The queen was also in a hurry, crying so much that the pear blossoms were raining, I felt sorry for her.

The resolute expression on the face of the big man loosened a little.

He looked at the civil and military officials again, and seeing that everyone was persuading him, he let out a long sigh.

In fact, just now he was also furious for a while, and his blood was hot.Being interrupted by everyone like this, I feel that it is not that simple for Yujia to conquer.Moreover, what if someone releases Da Shuxian after he leaves?
Thinking of this festival, I immediately went down the donkey, and didn't mention the matter of Yujia's personal conquest.At the same time, his expression was cloudy and uncertain, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the blood-stained sword.
