Chapter 733

"That's good, we must build this city as quickly as possible, so that we can form a horn with the white stone city, and in the rear, there is also the side of the old Yanzhou city, when the time comes, if Xixia wants to invade this Yanzhou, he will have to weigh whether he has the ability to take this unprecedented strong city."

"I said Brother Xian, let's do this, here, will it be another unified city?" Zhi Keshi hesitated for a long time, and when the two of them slowly approached the hot construction site with the mount under them, they leaned into Wang Yang's ear and whispered.

"Tongwan City ......" Wang Yang glanced at Zhi Keshi, and already understood what this guy's worries were.

The origin of Tongwancheng was in the late Han Dynasty, when Helian Bobo of the Tiefu Department of the Xiongnu tribe established the Great Xia Kingdom based on Xiazhou. According to the records of "Wei Shu Tiefu Liu Hu Biography", "Jin Shu Helian Bobo Record" and other records, in 413 A.D. Helian Bobo took Qigan Ali as the general as a master craftsman, and sent 100,000 people in Yixia in the north of Shuofang and the south of Heishui to build the capital, which was called "Tongwan" in the Ming Dynasty.

Bo Bo said to himself: "I unify the world, rule over all nations, and can unify all nations." "Ali is particularly ingenious, but cruel and violent, but he builds a city with steaming earth, and when he cone into an inch, he kills the author and builds it."

The construction of Tongwan City lasted six years. After the completion of the Tongwan City, the secretary and supervisor Hu Yizhou wrote a praise article, which said that the built Tongwan City is "Gao Yu Yin Said, Chong Yong Jiyun, Shi Guo Tianchi, Zhou Mian Qianli", the city "Hualin Lingnuma, Chongtai Secret Room, Tongfang Liange, Chi Dao Yuanyuan".

At this time, Tongwan City reflected the importance of Tongwan City in terms of geographical location and strategic position in terms of scale, layout and construction methods. During this period, Tongwan City reached unprecedented prosperity.

In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the fourth year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Wei army conquered the city of Tongwan, and in 431 AD, Wei destroyed Great Xia. In 433 A.D., it was placed in the town of Tongwan, because of its abundant water and grass, and it was used as pastureland.

A.D. 487 Xia Zhou, to Tong Wan Cheng for Xia Prefecture to govern, according to the "Water Jing Note" record, at this time Tong Wan City "although the pheasant trench for a long time, Chong Yong Ruo new". It shows that the city is still quite intact.

In the Sui Dynasty, Wancheng was under the jurisdiction of Shuofang County and was the seat of Shuofang County. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Shuofang County rebelled against Liang Shidu, and was called the emperor according to the Tongwancheng, the country name Liang, and the Jianyuan Yonglong.

In the second year of Tang Zhenguan, the Tang army pacified the capital of Liang Division, restored its land to Xiazhou, and unified Wancheng as the seat of Xiazhou. In the first year of Tianbao, Xiazhou was changed to Shuofang County, and in the first year of Qianyuan, it was reverted to Xiazhou.

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Xiazhou was divided by the Li clan of the Dangxiang clan, and there were wars during this period, but Tongwancheng still occupied a very important position in military and transportation.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tongwancheng was occupied by the Western Xia people, and Xia Prefecture was cut, and then, the Song and Western Xia conquered each other. In the fifth year of Chunhua, the Song army captured Xiazhou, and Song Taizong ordered the people to move and destroy the city. The city wall of the head of the city of Tongwan City (that is, the outer outline city) was destroyed at this time.

However, after the Western Xia regained possession of Xiazhou, although its outer city outline was not repaired, it was still regarded as an extremely important military town.

"A unified city, which lasted nearly 600 years, has always been occupied by foreign races, until the time of Emperor Taizong, it was destroyed, but so far, it has fallen into the hands of Western Xia."

"And with the talent of a virtuous brother, my brother knows that you will definitely be able to build a fortified city that is not inferior to the general general of the ten thousand cities, but if you ......"

"I can understand your worries, but you should also understand why when Tongwan City was in the hands of aliens? It was at the time of the chaos in my Central Plains that those alien races had a chance.

Now my Great Song Dynasty has been prosperous for a hundred years, and the population of my Great Song Dynasty is several times that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. As long as a large number of Han people can migrate here, recuperate and reproduce here, as long as the stability of commerce, trade and production and life in these three states can be guaranteed, the population will come more and more. ”

"At that time, I'm afraid that those alien races, in addition to putting down their swords and arrows, honestly bringing cattle and sheep over to exchange supplies, will they dare to use swords and soldiers?"

"What's more, junior brother, I built this city, not to defend it, but to move forward."

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Zhe Keshi nodded and smiled. "Brother Xian, your vision and foresight, Brother Fool is naturally trustworthy."

"I really hope that I can restore the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties as soon as possible, I don't have to be so aggrieved all the time, a little Xixia has made my Great Song Dynasty have nothing to do for a hundred years."

"Why can't you restore the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, brother, do you know the reason?" Hearing Zhi Keshi mention this stubble, Wang Yang rode his horse and continued to move forward slowly, while speaking.

"Why is that?" Zhi Keshi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his tone was a little displeased. How do you think this thing is accusing the army of the Great Song Dynasty for not being effective, especially if we are not powerful? It is clear that the literati of the Great Song Dynasty were in charge, and the policy of the literati in charge of the army led to the current situation.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yang has always been very powerful, and his relationship with the military has always been very friendly with his own friendship, Zhi Keshi couldn't bear to show him directly, but patiently wanted to ask the truth.

"Actually, it's very simple, the Great Song Dynasty, which has been leveled for a hundred years, lacks not only an enterprising spirit, not only blood, but also a cavalry with strong mobility, and even more one thing, that is, it is unwilling to face our enemies with a serious attitude." Wang Yang slowly expressed his thoughts.

Zhe Keshi smashed his mouth in pain. "What do you mean by not being willing to face the enemy with a serious attitude?" What the hell does this guy mean by that?

"When dealing with Northern Liao, what is the mentality of my Great Song Dynasty? Against Western Xia, what kind of mentality I have in Song, do you understand? Wang Yang simply stopped the horse's head and asked Zhi Keshi.

After a long groan, he gave his own answer. "The national strength of Northern Liao is similar to that of my Great Song Dynasty, as for this Western Xia, with the Western Army of my Great Song Dynasty, it should be able to resist it."

"Then I want to ask Brother Tai, do I really know the national strength of Northern Liao today? How much do you know about the deployment of troops in the Great Liao, how much do you know about the weapons and equipment, the traffic and road conditions in the places where the Northern Liao is based, and the grain reserves? Do you know if the local people are satisfied with the rule of the Northern Liao......"

A series of questions smashed the self-proclaimed famous general Zhi Keshi dizzy, and it took a long time to come back to his senses with his mouth smashed, and when he saw Wang Yang's seemingly calm face, he could only say hard. "Brother Fool really doesn't know much about the situation in Northern Liao......

"Okay, you don't need to say it, in fact, for today's Western Xia, I only know about the situation I have been exposed to, and I don't know much about other things such as people's livelihood, transportation, and food reserves."

Wang Yang set his eyes on the big river that was surging with waves, and said leisurely. "Only by knowing the other can we win all battles. I am the Great Song Dynasty, and the vision of those civil officials is too high, and they think that they can win a victory thousands of miles away after reading a few military books.

And military generals like Brother Keshi, because of the imbalance between civil and military, are only willing to protect their own acres and three-points of land, and the result is that it is becoming more and more difficult for my Great Song Dynasty Tiger Ben to make achievements. ”

This is what makes Zhi Keshi want to refute it, but he doesn't know how to refute it. Because Wang Yang's words did say the biggest drawback of the Song Dynasty military today.
