Chapter 214 Song Ping 3 (Just let me hack again
Outside Jiaozhou City, it has been occupied by continuous tents.
After digging the trenches and drainage channels under Benlin City, the fragrance of the battlefield spread again among these uniform tents. Wang Ziming (Wang Yanzhang), the former team in front of the Crime Army, also swallowed heavily and was ranked last, retreating into the front line composed of many horses, bamboo guns and blocking nets.
I saw that the hardened ground with gravel was flat and covered with gravel, and the cart filled with food had been surrounded by several long lines; a large bucket of Jiaozhou rice with steamed bean rice balls made of salted lentils, holding a large ball of rice with one hand, two or three were particularly hungry and full; the side dishes were a spoonful of shrimp paste tofu, and a spoonful of salted fish with fermented black beans; eating it in rice balls was full of taste and couldn't stop.
During this period, people along the way drove pigs and sheep, or used carts to push local fruits and vegetables to the army to reward them. They also gave them all a handful of plums or a few lychees and a sour and sweet raw peach as a food after meals.
The lucky ones also come from the seaside. They split a hole hard, and drink it with sweet juice and scrape out crispy coconut meat to taste. Compared to those roasted and cooked meat that are already accustomed to eating, it is a pleasant benefit. At least in most of the life of Wang Ziming, he has never tasted such a variety of fruits that are as bright as ever.
This also made many soldiers who were originally from the North, amazed and touched them all. This seemed like a god-like life. After all, even when they were in the North, those officials and wealthy merchants did not often have the opportunity to eat fresh fruits. Not to mention making them into various risottos, soups, juices, and eating them from time to time.
But to the words of the census teams in the army that have been to the local area, these things are just fresh in the local area; in fact, they are very numerous and cheap in the local countryside; because of the appropriate phenology and soil conditions in the local area, these fruit trees distributed everywhere are harvested almost all year round; therefore, after these fruits are ripe, they are unable to pick them many times and often they can only rot on the ground; and many natives in the mountains do not buy industries, but can simply survive by eating fruits.
Therefore, in order to ensure the subsequent management and governance needs, the rebel army plans to open some local workshops to make local conditions specialized in making dried fruits and pickled fruit products; on the one hand, it is dedicated to daily needs of the military, and on the other hand, it can also be resold from other places to make profits. In addition, it can activate local market circulation and create more livelihood means for people's livelihood.
Despite this, during the years when Wang Ziming traveled around the world, he seemed to have not lived such a comfortable life, or had never thought that he could do such a good job in marching and fighting. He was no longer a scattered army who was surrounded and blocked by the government and Tutuan Township soldiers and lived in exile and had no place to live, or even lived alone and cared for the present day.
Instead, it is a dignified army that rescued the common people and was suspended by water and fire. It has a well-managed territory, household registration and production, which can be more like the strategist of the official army than the official army, and is arranged in a proper manner and operates the food road, and even easily gathers many boats and ships to attack hundreds of miles across the sea;
All this was like a dream, and it happened around them; it was obvious that the "monk" led the "Mr. Xu", and the changes and achievements brought about by the changes and achievements.
According to the teachings of this leading "Mr. Xu" to everyone at the talks, an important mission of the rebel army in this world is to find ways to break and destroy the generational exploitation methods that wealthy families and unscrupulous merchants rely on for hoarding; and to allow the things that these hard-working people have worked hard to circulate widely to everyone in need at the right price.
Therefore, as a rebel army that asks for justice for the people and seeks justice for the poor, not only must they have the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy and eliminate the lackeys of the court, but also have means to farm, mine, build, and do business, which can create livelihoods and welfare for the people.
He also agreed at the moment. If it weren't for the increased control and monopoly of the imperial court, coupled with the heavy businessmen's hoarding of goods, the people could not afford salt and their whole body was swollen and exhausted, how could they take the risk of beheading and secretly transport the black salt that was so bitter that his tongue was numb and forced to rebel to have a way out?
Suddenly the whistle sounded, but the enemy troops in the city rushed out to harass and attack again. This was the third time today.
So he didn't panic and licked the remaining juice in his hand, then picked up the crossbow placed on the side and started to calibrate the strings. As a farmer who was used to suffering, this kind of good thing cannot be wasted at all and will be blessed.
Then, on the river bank west of the camp, there were already many slatted river boats sailing down from the upper city, 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 made of soil in front of the formation.
According to the information I inquired and collected before, the Daluo City I had to face, and the relatively narrow sub-city (inner city) left by the three counties of the Nanhai County in the Qin Dynasty, the Daluo City (outer city) built by Gao Pian Shang more than ten years ago was much larger in scale; it can be said to be an absolute large city.
After seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but be amazed. Because this is a natural surrounding of the fork of the Red River and its tributary Zhuluan River. It is dangerous on three sides by water, and can only attack from land on the southeast. The base made of red rammed earth city walls and gray-white stones are like a two-color enclosure clustered on the horizon.
According to the repair records found by Zhou Huaian from the remaining pictures of local governments, the circumference is at least 13,000 steps, and the outer wall is two and six feet high, and the foundation is two and six feet wide. There are bamboo sheds used as arrows and rainproof erosion, and they look vast.
There is a large area extending from the exterior wall, with a six-foot-high chest wall on all sides as a screen guard; among them, there are 6 large and small city gates, 5 gate towers, 55 additional buildings, 34 stairs, and 3 water diversion pipes that lead directly to the river without any interruption of the water source;
Outside the wall is a river bank that is half a meter (5 meters) high, three meter (10 meters) wide at the bottom and more than 10,000 steps (7,086 meters) in circumference to protect the entire city and thousands of new houses from floods. It also poses some kind of condescending obstacle to attacks from the river.
Therefore, thanks to its unique geographical advantages, it was named "Hanoi" based on the original site of Daluo City in later generations, because it looked at the Hong River in the east, the West Lake in the north, and the Suli River in the southwest. This is also a major feature of ancient Vietnamese monkeys. A large number of place names and regional titles have tried to copy the place names of the Central Plains dynasty to show the difference from the surrounding small Chinese style of the barbarians such as Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and the Elderly;
The same is true for this Hanoi. It first originated from the Yellow River Basin during the Warring States Period. It is known as the "Three Rivers" together with Hedong and Hexi (the area north of the Yellow River).
I saw that this Daluo City, which was built by Gao Pian after he recovered Jiaozhou more than ten years ago, was also a capital city of all dynasties that was independently used by the Annan local regime in later generations as the capital of the prefabricated tributary. However, Zhou Huaian did not think of some jokes and cases about "Iron Blood and Strong Song" in later generations.
You should know that the Song Dynasty claimed that its economy, population and culture were far superior to those of the previous dynasties, but after "sharing the world with the scholars and officials", the national strength that could be mobilized and utilized could not even win several independent separatist forces. Among them was the local separatist forces in Annan, which evolved from the Jinghai Army Jiedushi.
Even the Southern Han, a small local regime, which was at the bottom of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, could suppress and recover your Annan homeland; when we arrived in the Song Dynasty, it became a border threat that repeatedly invaded, and even if we won, we would cede the land and appease the other party; let alone the Dangxiang Xixia, which occupied Hexi Longyou and some of the passes, had to call the brotherly country to pay annual monies to ensure safety. This was simply a comic full of black humor.
This behavior of being blocked at the door of the house most of the time, and even dares to claim that "the victory rate of the foreign war in the Song Dynasty is very high, far exceeding that of the previous generations." This is simply that after being slapped in the face, it can still be said with confidence, "My face is hard and thick, look, his hands are hurt by being beaten...
In contrast, the Tang Dynasty was able to rely on its limited population and economy to defeat all directions, leaving behind the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties and the prestige of the Han and Tang dynasties. Even if the stains and dark side lowered the overall lower limit, as countless capable people continued to continue, they could still cheer up from the low period and continue to maintain their strength until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
For example, after the Weishui Alliance in the early Tang Dynasty, he relied on the prosperous Zhenguan era, which was striving to govern, and captured the Khans of the East and West Turks, and danced with wine in the courtyard. Some Taizong's hard-working troops failed to conquer Goryeo, and some Gaozong's achievements in destroying Goryeo and capturing the last king to sacrifice to the Taimiao;
Even after the prosperity and decline of the Anshi Rebellion, and the temporary shame of Tubo trapping the capital and borrowing troops to the Uighurs, it was also possible to rely on the continuous efforts of the monarchs and ministers of all generations to create several revival atmospheres. Tubo and Uighurs, these powerful neighbors, have become the dust of history. Even if some prisoners of war were not able to defend the territory during this period, at least they left the legal system since ancient times to the descendants.
I, the only one in the Song Dynasty, would only play a civil war in the era of being left in the fragmented territory of our ancestors. Not to mention the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, even the land of Jiuzhou and China in the traditional sense could not be maintained at all.
After the defeat of Youzhou, he never wanted to regain Yanyun's hometown; the annual monies of the Tanyuan Alliance were handed over to the destruction of the Liao Kingdom, and then he wanted to pick up the bargain and slapped people in the face. The wives and daughters of the two generations of emperors and all the nobles and nobles of the royal family and nobles were packed out to serve as public toilets for the Hu people;
Then the Southern Song regime killed the heroes who were expected to revive the mountains and rivers, continued to cede land and pay compensation for the Jin people for annual monies, and then exchanged the name for the Yuan Dynasty. Then there was no need to pay, because the Southern Song Dynasty also perished in Yashan.
However, there are people who have slapped the land for this kind of behavior of cutting off their flesh and making the enemy. They claim that the Song Dynasty has developed economy and the people are rich and do not care about this little money at all. As long as the country's material resources are measured to win the favor of foreign enemies, they can accelerate their influence and infiltration on the enemy's economy and culture by giving money.
