Chapter 403 Take the canal to the people's hearts
Yunzhou Mansion, Evergreen City, Jurchen Big Tent.
Wanyan Aguda's expression was a little sad, this was a look that was easy to see on his face, Wanyan Wu Qimai was his favorite brother, but he didn't expect to die on the battlefield.
Zong Han and Lou Room knelt on the ground in the big tent, not saying a word, and the surrounding Jurchen generals were also holding their breath.
For a long time, Wanyan Aguda gave the Jurchens the impression that they would not be knocked down, but at this moment, they could not hide their weakness.
One stumbled and almost fell into the big tent, and the crowd was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to straighten him. Wanyan Xiyin shouted: "Zong Han, you can't keep the second king, what are you doing when you come back alive?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already carrying a knife, and he wanted to step forward to see Zong Han and Lou Mu hacked to death.
Some of the generals around him couldn't see it, stepped forward to grab him, and scolded: "Xiyin, listen to Your Majesty." ”
Zong Han was thrilled by the blood, and he was ashamed for a while, and he drew a knife in his hand and said: "I failed to save Wu Qimai, and I deserve to die for the crime." After speaking, he wiped it off his neck, Lou Mur's eyes were quick, and he grabbed his wrist, and Lou Mur's strength was not known how many times greater than Zong Han's, so he was taught not to move.
Aguda stood up, walked in front of the two of them, and knocked down the knives of Hee-yin and Jong-han to the ground in a single blow.
"Zong Han, I'll give you another 10,000 Jurchen horses, you go to Shangjing Mansion to recruit Liao soldiers, can you beat Youyan down this time."
When Zong Han heard this, he raised his fingers, pointed at the Heavenly Alliance and swore an oath: "If you don't take Youyan, you will let me die in front of the battle." ”
Ah Gu waved his hand and motioned for them all to go out, and then everyone got up and left the big tent.
Wanyan Wu begged to buy in the Jurchen clan, and he was also talented, otherwise Ah Gu beat so many sons, and he would not let his younger brother inherit the throne after death.
First, the Jurchens were in the white mountains and black waters of Liaodong, and they still retained the nature of the nomads, and the Han culture had little influence on the Jurchens, and the primogeniture inheritance system of the emperor could be said to have no market in the early Jin Dynasty. Second, it is also because the supreme power of ethnic minorities in general at the beginning and before the founding of the People's Republic of China was concentrated in the hands of the so-called elders, even in the later Qing Dynasty. Only those who excel will be recognized by them.
However, later, Wu Qimai passed the throne to the descendants of Aguta, and from this point alone, Wu Qimai was stronger than Zhao Guangyi.
The death of a Wu beggar is definitely not as simple as killing a Jurchen two kings, the power class of the entire Jin country must redivide the forces. Zong Han lost his biggest reliance, and if he wanted to keep the territory, goods and slaves of his generals, he had to fight even harder to take Youyan.
In addition to Changqing City, Lou Mu rode on a horse and said to Zong Han: "It seems that the old emperor still wants to capture Emperor Liao, and he has no intention of giving up Yunzhou and going to Youyan to avenge Wu Qimai. ”
Zong Han shook his horsewhip and said in a deep voice: "This is our last chance. ”
---
On the Bianhe River, there was a large boat sailing smoothly, and the boat was full of guards in red robes.
After the big ship docked, a group of officials on the shore boarded the ship from the lowered deck and came to the cabin under the guidance of a red-clothed guard.
These people are the officials of the River Governance Division, and they are all the old team left by Zong Ze, and two of them have drunk with Zong Ze and Yang Lin in Zhaodefang.
The guards who led the way led them to a wooden staircase, stretched out his hand and said, "Shaozai is on it, a few please." ”
Zhang An, the new governor of the river, walked down the stairs of the boat to the second floor of the big ship, only to see a canvas umbrella propped up, surrounded by a low veil, and a couple of men and women inside did not know what they were talking about, and laughed from time to time. Beside them, there stood two maids, immature and delicate were the personal maid jewels and stamen beads of the incense.
Among them, the young man was dressed in a high-quality lake silk robe, an amber and jade belt, a hosta with a hosta in his hair, and black boots with soft soles, looking like a scholar with a rich family.
The man's face is like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows are bright. The beauties in the back are dressed lightly and softly, fresh and verdant, and their appearance is really more fragrant than flowers and jade.
Zhang Anxin secretly thought that this must be Yang Shaozai, so he hurriedly led someone forward and said: "Zhang An, the lower official of the River Division, has seen Shaozai. ”
Yang Lin said with a smile: "Come in and talk, I heard Zong Ze talk about you, you are quite insightful in the management of the river, I haven't heard of a catastrophe in the Yellow River in the past few years, and it is all your credit." ”
Zhang An's face was beaming, and he was quite complacent, it was this method of controlling the river, and being praised by Yang Lin was like scratching an itch.
He entered the big umbrella and sat on the stone bench, and the little maid standing beside him poured him a cup of tea.
Zhang An took a closer look, and saw that this young ruler who leaned towards the government and the opposition and had just made great contributions was full of heroism and clear eyebrows. The beautiful woman sitting sideways next to him is really the only beauty in the world that he has seen in his life. A light dress is as pure as snow, sticking to the delicate skin, and it can be so charming that people dare not look at it directly. A lustrous jasper hairpin is inserted horizontally on the bun, like ink and green silk as bright as a mirror, and the beauty is dazzling.
Ori Huanxiang seems to have all the talents of being a perfect lover by nature, she is charming and gorgeous, but innocent, and she is never obsessed with men doing business.
At this time, he sat on the side, playing the role of a vase, and added some tea to Yang Lin from time to time.
According to legend, Yang Shaozai was young and romantic, and now it seems that he deserves his name, the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty is so open, and high-ranking officials are always accompanied by beauties when they go on patrol.
After Zhang An sat down, he said with a smile: "Those are all false praises from Brother Rulin, and they can't be taken seriously." ”
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Zong Rulin is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to say polite words on the scene." With his mouth, how could he praise such clever words, otherwise he would not have been a county magistrate who was born in a scholar but had been in the ravine for more than ten years. To be praised by him like that, Governor Zhang must have some skills. ”
Zhang An is not a person who likes to meet you, but it also depends on who praises you, Yang Shaozai is in the limelight, and everyone in the world knows that people have recovered Youyan, and he resigned from the prince, and it is really useful to be praised by him.
Yang Lin said with a smile: "The so-called capable people work hard, look at this Bianhe River, can you dig the canal together with Youyan?" Abandon Luoyang and take Yanjing City directly, so that the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and Qiantang will be connected, benefiting the country and the people! ”
The Han people actually started digging the Grand Canal from the time of the First Emperor. Qin Shi Huang dug an important river in Jiaxing, which also laid the direction of the Jiangnan Canal in the future. According to the "Book of Yuejue", Qin Shi Huang "governed the waterway of the tomb from Jiaxing, went to Qiantang and crossed the land, and passed through Zhejiang", and the canal and canal culture were derived from this.
The Grand Canal in the original time and space was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, prospered in the Tang and Song Dynasties, taken straight in the Yuan Dynasty, and dredged in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Now Yang Lin plans to straighten it in advance and go straight to Youyan.
Zhang An couldn't help but stumble: "This is a huge project... I'm afraid it won't be a year and a half to complete. ”
Yang Lin said in his heart that Youyan had taken it back, and he must integrate into the Central Plains Dynasty as soon as possible, so that they could get rid of the alien alien Khitan rule caused by a hundred years of alien Khitan rule.
A canal is the best way, and if this matter cannot be completed in a year and a half, it must be done.
"Even if it is three years and five years, it is also worth it, if Governor Zhang is interested, I will play Your Majesty, please preside over this matter."
When Zhang An heard this, he immediately became excited, this is worth it... Take the canal straight, I'm afraid it won't be famous.
