Chapter 214: Song Ping 3 (Just let me hack again.)
Mobile reading
Outside the city of Jiaozhou, it has been occupied by continuous tents.
After digging the trenches and drainage channels that gradually descended under the city, the aroma of the war camp once again permeated these neat tents. The front team in front of the guilty army, Wang Ziming (Wang Yanzhang), also swallowed heavily and was the last in line, retreating into the front line composed of rejecting horses, bamboo guns and blocking nets.
I saw that on the hardened ground that had been leveled and paved with gravel, the carts loaded with food had been surrounded by several long queues; The large vat of Jiaozhou rice with steamed bean rice balls made of salt lentils holds such a large ball in one hand, and two or three of them are exceptionally hungry and full; The side dish is a spoonful of tofu with shrimp sauce and a spoonful of salted fish with simmered tempeh; Dipping the rice dumplings and eating them, it is full of flavor one bite after another, and I can't stop.
During this period, those villages and towns along the way that were rescued from the bandits and barbarians also drove pigs and sheep, or pushed local fruits and vegetables with carts and sent them to the army for reward; It also allowed them, the soldiers who were on duty, to get a handful of plums or a few lychees, and a sweet and sour peach as fruits to eat after meals.
If you are lucky, you can also use the green coconut from the seaside, which can be used to make a sweet juice to drink, and you can scrape out the crisp coconut meat to taste; Compared with those scorched and boiled meat that are already used to eating, it can be said to be delicious. At least in the most of Wang Ziming's life, he has never tasted such a variety of obvious fruits.
This also made many soldiers who were originally born in the north amazed and touched this day like a fairy; After all, even when they were in the Northland, those eunuchs and wealthy merchants did not always have the opportunity to eat fresh fruits. Not to mention making it into various simmered rice, soup pots, and juices, and eating them from time to time.
But in the words of the census team who have been to the places in the army, these things are just eaten fresh in the local area; In the local countryside, there are actually a lot of them and cheap; Because of the local phenology and suitable water and soil, these ubiquitous fruit trees have continuous harvests almost all year round; Therefore, after these fruits are ripe, they cannot be picked many times, and often they can only rot on the ground; And many of the natives in the mountains barely owned any property, and simply survived by eating the fruit.
Therefore, in order to meet the needs of follow-up operation and governance, the rebels plan to open some workshops in the local area in the future, specializing in dried fruits and pickled fruit products; On the one hand, it is exclusively for the daily needs of the army, and on the other hand, it can also be resold to other places for profit. In addition, there are many livelihood means to activate the local market circulation and create more people's livelihoods.
Despite this, in the years that Wang Ziming has traveled south and north, it seems that he has never lived such a comfortable life, or never thought that marching and fighting could be so useful. is no longer a wandering army that has no fixed place to live in exile surrounded and intercepted by those officials and soldiers and Tutuan villagers, or even a prodigal army that only cares about the present day,
It is to rescue Li Shu's upright teacher who is hanging upside down; With the boundaries, household registration and production under the jurisdiction of Zheng'er Bajing, it can be more like the official army's strategy, arranging troops and operating grain routes in a regular manner, and even easily gather many boats and ships to do the things of traveling hundreds of miles across the sea to attack;
It was like a dream, and it was happening all around them; Obviously, it is the "monk" who leads the "Mr. Xu", and the changes and achievements brought about are.
According to the teachings of the leading "Mr. Xu" to everyone at the seminar, an important mission of the rebels in this world is to find a way to break and destroy the generational exploitation methods that the wealthy families and unscrupulous businessmen rely on every day to hoard and live; And let the things that these toiling people have worked so hard to produce can be widely distributed to everyone who needs them at a suitable price.
Therefore, as a righteous army that asks for the lives of the common people and seeks justice for the poor, it must not only have the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy and eradicate the lackeys of the court, but also have the means to create livelihoods and well-being for the people, such as farming, mining, construction, and business.
He also thought deeply for a while, if it weren't for the control and monopoly of the imperial court, coupled with the oppression of those big families colluding with merchants to hoard and squeeze, forcing the people to be unable to eat salt and their whole bodies were swollen and depleted, how could they risk killing their heads and secretly transport the bitter black salt that was numb to their tongues, and then they were forced to rebel to have a way to live.
Suddenly, the whistle sounded, but it was the enemy troops in the city who rushed out to harass and attack again, and this attack on their camp and fortification project was the third time today.
Therefore, he did not hurry to lick the remaining juice from his hands, and then picked up the crossbow placed on the side and began to wind and calibrate; As a farmer who is accustomed to hardship, this kind of good thing cannot be wasted in the slightest and will be blessed.
Then, on the west bank of the camp, there were already many slatted riverboats that had been released from the upper city, and many scattered enemy soldiers were rushing down from them.
。。。。。。。
In another place outside Jiaozhou City, Zhou Huai'an was also observing the military situation on a high platform made of earth in front of the battle.
According to the information collected from the previous investigation, the Daluo City that he had to face was much larger than the relatively narrow sub-city (inner city) left by the Qin Dynasty when he opened the three counties of the South China Sea, and the Daluo City (outer city) built by Gao Biao more than ten years ago was much larger; It can be described as a large castle in the truest sense of the word.
And after seeing it with my own eyes, I can't help but be amazed. Because this is a man-made and precipitous place located in the natural encirclement of the fork of the Red River and its tributary, the Zhuluan River, which is dangerous by water on three sides and can only attack from the land on the southeast side, the red rammed earth city wall and the base made of gray-white ram stones are like a two-color enclosure clustered on the horizon.
According to the repair records found by Zhou Huai'an from the remaining drawings of the local government, its circumference was at least 13,000 steps, and the outer wall alone was two feet six feet high, and the base of the wall was also two feet six feet wide; It is full of bamboo sheds that are used as a shield for arrows and rain washing, and they look like black and muddy.
Under the exterior wall, there is a large area that extends out, and there are still coherent six-foot-high breastwall walls on all sides as screens; Among them, there are 6 large and small city gates, 5 gatehouses, 55 more buildings, 34 stairs, and 3 water diversion pipelines that go directly to the river without being cut off;
Outside the wall, a river embankment was built with a height of 1/2 zhang (5 meters), a width of 3 zhang (10 meters) at the bottom, and a circumference of more than 10,000 steps (7,086 meters) to protect the entire city and thousands of newly built houses from flooding. It also constituted a kind of condescending resistance to attacks from the river.
Therefore, thanks to its unique geographical advantages, it was named "Hanoi" on the basis of the original site of Da Luo City in later generations, because it overlooks the Red River in the east, connects to the West Lake in the north, and borders the Su Lhu River in the southwest. This is also a major feature of ancient Vietnamese monkeys, a large number of place names and regional titles are trying to copy the place names of the Central Plains Dynasty, in order to show the style of small China that distinguishes it from the surrounding Burmese, Thai, Cambodian and other barbarians;
This Hanoi originates from the Yellow River basin during the Warring States period, and is known as the "Three Rivers" along with Hedong and Hexi (the area north of the Yellow River).
Seeing that this Daluo City, which was built by Gao Biao after recovering Jiaozhou more than ten years ago, is full of Tang Dynasty style, and it is also the capital of the past dynasties used by the local government of Annan as Dingding, which was independent in later generations; Zhou Huai'an did not think of some jokes and public cases about "iron-blooded strong Song" in later generations.
You must know that our Great Song Dynasty claims to be far superior to the previous dynasty in terms of economy, population and culture, but after "sharing the world with scholars", the national strength that can be mobilized and utilized cannot even be defeated by a few independent separatist forces, including the local separatist forces in Annam, which evolved from the Jinghai Naval Festival.
Even the Southern Han Dynasty, which was at the bottom of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and a small local regime, was able to suppress and recover your Annan homeland; When I arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, it became a border trouble that repeatedly invaded, and even after winning the war, I had to cut the land to pacify the other party; Not to mention the party item Xixia that occupies Hexi Longyou and part of the Guannei, and actually wants to call the state of brothers to pay the New Year's currency to ensure peace, which has become some kind of burlesque full of black humor.
This kind of behavior of being blocked at the door of the house most of the time and passively resisting, there is still a face to dare to claim that "my Great Song Dynasty has a very high victory rate in foreign wars, far exceeding the previous generation of Yunyun", this is simply after being slapped in the face repeatedly, and the so-called swollen face can be said confidently, "My face is hard and thick, look, his hands are all beaten painfully.
In contrast, the Tang Dynasty was able to rely on the limited population economy to beat the Quartet, leaving the Han and Tang dynasties prosperous and known as a prestige for a while; Even if there are stains and dark sides that have lowered the overall lower limit, but with the help of countless capable people with lofty ideals, they can always cheer up from the low tide again and again, and have been strong until the five dynasties and ten countries.
For example, after the Weishui Alliance in the early Tang Dynasty, he relied on the prosperity of Zhenguan to make great efforts, and captured the Khans of the Eastern and Western Turks, and the Tsing Yi hat served wine and danced in the court; There are Taizong's laborers who have conquered Goryeo to no avail, and there are also Gaozong's exploits in destroying Goryeo and capturing the king to sacrifice Taimiao;
Even after experiencing the prosperity and decline of the Anshi Rebellion, there is a temporary humiliation of Tubo falling into the capital and borrowing troops to return to Fu; But it can also rely on the continuous efforts of successive monarchs and ministers to create several degrees of Zhongxing atmosphere. And Tubo and Huifu, which were once strong neighbors, have become the dust of history. Even if some prisoners of war were not able to hold their territory during this period, at least they left the legal system of ancient times to future generations.
Only what does my Great Song Dynasty have, I will only play the era of civil war in the fragmented territory left by my ancestors. Not to mention the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, even the land of Kyushu and China in the traditional sense cannot be maintained at all.
After the defeat of Youzhou, he never wanted to recover Yanyun's homeland; As soon as the New Year's coin of the Tanyuan Alliance was handed over, it was handed over to the Liao State for destruction, and then he wanted to pick up the bargain and slapped people in the face and came back, and the wives and daughters of the two generations of the Son of Heaven and all the nobles and princes of the clan were packed out and stuffed to act as a public toilet for the Hu people;
Then the Southern Song Dynasty regime killed the heroes who were expected to recover the rivers and mountains, continued to give the Jin people land and indemnity to pay the New Year's coins to the rise of Mongolia, and then changed the name to the Yuan Dynasty. Then there is no need to pay it, because the Southern Song Dynasty also perished in Yashan.
However, there are still people who wash the ground for this kind of behavior of cutting meat and capital, claiming that my Great Song Dynasty is economically developed and the people are rich, and they don't care about this little money at all; As long as the country's material resources are measured to win the favor of foreign captives, it is possible to speed up the economic and cultural influence and penetration of the enemy country by sending money.
This kind of deformed regime, which is the root of the founding of the country, is external cruelty and internal cruelty to the extreme, that is, those who delusionally think that they can become a handful of scholars and doctors, and who have ulterior motives in the future, will spare no effort to praise the stinky feet and make a posture of why they cannot understand each other.
