Chapter Eighty-Six: Cheng Dewei

In December of the sixth year of Fengtian, the Son of Heaven personally conquered Youzhou, the soldiers and horses of all roads were divided into joint attacks, Keyouzhou, the good news spread all over the north and south of the river, the great martial arts of this dynasty, so that the military and civilian style, have gradually undergone some changes, taverns and tea shops, the status of martial artists, may not be less than the scholars are looked down upon.

The day after conquering Youzhou, Qi Tianzi then promoted Youzhou to Beijing Yingtianfu, changed Xi'an Mansion to Chengtianfu, promoted Guangzhou Mansion to Shangjing Haining Mansion, and moved Lingnan Road to Guizhou, thus determining the four major capitals of Nanjing Yangzhou Shuntian Mansion, Xijing Xi'an Chengtian Mansion, Beijing Youzhou Yingtian Mansion, and Shangjing Guangzhou Haining Mansion.

Jingshi Jingzhao Mansion, to be precise, is Tianjing Jingzhao Mansion, but many people are still used to calling it Bianjing.

In the three capitals of Xijing, Beijing, and Nanjing, the ministers naturally understood the holy will, but Guangzhou was also promoted to the accompanying capital, and it was the first time in the history of the Central Plains that it was thousands of miles away from the capital, which was surprising.

But the close ministers around the Son of Heaven don't think it's strange, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to maritime trade, and even a little paranoid, and the meaning of the Haining Mansion in Shangjing also reveals the sacred heart everywhere.

According to rumors, the day after the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the five capitals of the world, he led a large group of cavalry and left Youzhou.

At the same time, the men of the Great Emperor of Shandong Province, the slave department of Lu Wanyan, rode their horses north.

A few days later, the old, the young, the women and the children also set off in batches.

……

From Songting Pass in the north of Luanhe County, 5,000 cavalry of the Shenwu Army, 2,500 cavalry of the Dianqian Army, 10,000 cavalry of the Hedong Army, and 6,000 cavalry of the Jingshu Army, galloped all the way to the north.

Among them, many soldiers are from the reserve army, just replenished into the front-line troops, but the cavalry of the Qi army has not suffered much losses, the main force of the tragic scene has always been the infantry, yes, the newly replenished cavalry, ten less than two, this is the benefit of standing reserves, with the old with the new, and the new soldiers are not real recruits, so, the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger.

When the cavalry of the Qi brigade suddenly appeared under the city of Dadingtu, the Khitan in the city immediately shook.

At this time, the news of the fall of the clouds has reached Dading City, the life and death of Emperor Tianzan is unknown, many important ministers are lost in the south, and the kings of various tribes have different opinions.

If the Qi army attacks Dading City, I am afraid that it will not be able to wait for reinforcements at all.

But they didn't want to, but the Qi cavalry surprised the Khitan in the city, they actually plundered the Khitan, Han, Xi, and Bohai farmers outside the city, as well as the herdsmen who did not have time to flee into the city, driving a large number of people away.

After a long time, the Khitan in the city reacted, and immediately organized a team of cavalry to chase it out, but was ambushed and defeated by the Qi army.

Later, news came one after another, and almost all the slave households in the military prefecture of the naturalized head of the southwest of Zhongjing were also plundered by Qi cavalry and went south.

After more than ten days, there is a great news that Emperor Tianzan has returned safely from the south, arrived in Laizhou, and then, went to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, and more than ten days later, Emperor Tianzan once again announced that all the tribes were leaving the Sumire in Liaoyang Mansion, and recruited the warriors of all tribes, preparing to follow him to the south again.

However, according to rumors, when Emperor Tianzan fled back, there were only more than 1,000 horsemen and guards left around him.

In addition, the remnants who fled north one after another were only one or two thousand.

In other words, the 100,000 pro-army and tribal army that Emperor Tianzan personally led to conquer the south were almost completely lost in Qidi.

If you count the 30,000 elite cavalry with Yelu Xidi as the vanguard and the Zhongjing and Tokyo tribes that responded to Emperor Tianzan's southern expedition, this time they fought with the Qi people, and the warriors and servant tribes of the clan launched the southern expedition were nearly 200,000 military horses, but the result was a fiasco, and the Youyun Prefectures were lost.

Especially among the horses led by Emperor Tianzan himself, but including the ironclad elite of the pro-army of the left and right leather rooms, they were almost wiped out, and this kind of loss was extremely terrible.

At the same time, the news that the Qi people began to build a city on the sacred mountain also came.

The slaves plundered by the Qi people were all placed on the sacred mountain.

The Khitan aristocratic master of the military state under the head of the sacred mountain had been killed in the southern expedition.

Nowadays, the Qi people are building the city on the basis of the wooden village of the military state under the head of the sacred mountain.

At the same time, I heard that the area has been named Chengdewei by the Qi people.

It seems that the Qi people named the area after "Wei", mountains, forests, fields, rivers, grasslands, etc., are all royal private property.

……

The Chengde Acropolis is being built, in the territory of Pingquan County in Chengde in later generations.

From the perspective of later generations, the geographical location here is the junction of Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Liaoning.

Here, in the northwest, there are vast grasslands, and in the territory, there are continuous alpine forests, and on the outskirts of the Chengde Acropolis is a large area of farmland developed by the slave households of the military state under the head of the Khitan Sacred Mountain.

Here, it is also the critical place of the eighteen pan post road in the Liao Dynasty, and the current geographical situation is completely different from that of later generations.

Inside and outside Yanshan, the primeval forest is continuous, and outside the Senese, there are not many roads for the passage of military horses.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, there is a description of "from the deviation head, Yanmen, Bauhinia, Lijuyong, Chaohechuan, Xifengkou, until the Shanhaiguan area, stretching for more than thousands of miles, the mountains are high and dangerous, the forests are dense, and people and horses are not passable".

And Cheng Dewei also happened to choke the throat from Liaozhongjing to Youzhou.

Of course, if the Khitans want to go south, they can also enter Pingzhou from the East Road, from Laizhou and Jinzhou.

Pingzhou, that is, the later Qinhuangdao Lulong, is in the south of Shanhaiguan.

Now, Lu Ning also ordered the construction of Pingzhou City, and at the same time, stationed elite soldiers in Pingzhou City.

Spending a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall, Lu Ning has no interest, and where it matters, it is much easier to build a few passes.

The Great Wall of the previous dynasties can still be topped for the time being, after all, its effect is mainly to prevent the opposing cavalry from climbing over the mountains and suddenly appearing in the Central Plains.

After giving up the adventurous idea of attacking Zhongjing, Lu Ning retreated to the next best thing, and in a way that the Khitans could not have imagined, plundered its population and returned to the south, and built a city in Chengde, outside the Saiwai.

At the same time, he also ordered his slave department to complete the Yan Department and come to Chengdewei to settle down.

Here, there are not only cultivated fields, but also grasslands, and there are endless deep mountains and high forests, which are suitable for the current Wanyan Department to live.

However, the Khitans also hope to repair it and not invade the south for the time being, but this Chengde City will definitely not be built by itself like this.

Therefore, next, the men of their own slave department and Lu Wanyan department may have to act as the main force in the bloody battle, but correspondingly, they will also find a place in the mountains and forests and prairies with abundant water and grass in the Chengde region.

I only hope that I am not raising tigers for trouble.

In fact, Lu Ning himself also knows that because of the history of his previous life, he has the heart of a villain, and he is loyal to himself, but he is not so loyal.

Even, the Wanyan tribe has completely regarded themselves as a tribe among the Qi people, a special ethnic group that guards the emperor, and they have more sense of glory and belonging than ordinary Qi people, they are men, women, and children, and they have a rare identity of aligning the country and aligning people.

As for what happened after his death? It's still early, Huaxia is already good at tolerance, and I don't believe in Huaxia's strengths, and it's my own slave department, under my own education, it is difficult to have one more herdsman Qi people?

Not to mention, when he died, maybe firearms had already developed to a more mature stage, and he didn't have to be afraid of any nomads.

……

The sound of chiseling stones, figures busy making adobe, and crowds of people cutting timber in large numbers.

The most abundant resource in this place is wood, and Lu Ning naturally will not transport bricks from a hundred miles away, and the plan is to build a huge and wide earthen city and wooden village as soon as possible.

Lu Ning stood on a hill and looked into the distance, plundering the other party's population, in fact, it was very inhumane, especially, when he encountered someone who wanted to escape halfway, the cavalry immediately rushed up and killed him, in order to deter other slave households, to this day, Lu Ning remembered some of these scenes, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

Of course, because most of the plundered population was originally a slave household placed in their own territory plundered by the Khitan nobles, and there were mostly Han, Xi, and Bohai people, so most of the people who wanted to escape halfway were some Khitans.

Moreover, these slave households, now as the slaves of Chengde Wei Huangzhuang, are like Dingyuanwei, and slowly, they will know that compared with their previous lives, they should be heaven and earth.

It's just on the front line, and it's relatively dangerous.

Just pondering, Han Derang walked over quickly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Lazy Lady clan has arrived!" ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly.

Before Lu Ning set off to the northern region to plunder the farmers, he had already received the news of the battle of Wengshan, and the exhausted Khitan army was scattered, including Queen Yila, many Khitan ministers were arrested, but I heard that the two sisters of Queen Yilai were originally in Youzhou, but they disappeared and were not among the prisoners of war.

Lu Ning didn't care too much, after all, the current Hehan is not the historical Concubine Hu Yan, Xiao Yanyan, nor the historical Empress Dowager Xiao, it doesn't matter if she is caught or not, as long as she can't escape.

Although Lu Ning was curious, he didn't meet with Yi Lazy, and he was in a hurry to attack the Northern Regions at that time; Second, when Yelu Sage has definite news, he is captured and killed or flees back to Liaodi, and when the time comes, there will be different ways to deal with Yi Lazy.

And now, Yelu Sage has fled back to Liaoyang, Tokyo, to see for himself if he can make him bleed to redeem his queen?

How can you start, 20,000 excellent war horses, right?

Lu Ning pondered, and smiled in his heart, Yelu Gang, if this condition can be agreed, it will be really reckless.
