Deng Yue originally planned that if Su Jun couldn't capture Hefei City, then I could only use the water division to attack Hefei Water Gate - there was still some chance of victory. It's just that now that the Chinese aid has arrived and the army is in order, even if our army takes Hefei, what's the point?

Hefei City is located between the river and Huai, close to Chaohu Lake, although the surrounding area is mostly plain terrain, the water network is relatively dense, theoretically conducive to the southern infantry, but not conducive to the northern cavalry, so the Three Kingdoms era, has always been the focus of Wei and Wu contention. Full of favor because of the waste of the old Hefei City, the selection of the terrain is more dangerous, the construction of this Hefei New City, the high wall is dense, it is not easy to take place.

Wang Dun's Northern Expedition was completely in response to Su Jun's invitation, and he listened to Qian Feng's words and took advantage of the chaos, so he sent less than 20,000 troops, but in fact, he had no determination to go deep into Huajing. If Su Jun reneges on his promise and refuses to come to the aid or at least cooperates with him, the original plan will stop at the area south of Chaohu Lake and strive to eat only one Lujiang County; It was because Su Jun led 30,000 soldiers and horses to join him that he had the confidence to storm Hefei and advance Huainan.

However, the Chinese aid has arrived, and the Qingzhou soldiers have been defeated and retreated, Deng Yue thought to himself, even if I take Hefei, I dare not take another step, and I still need to leave troops to garrison. The location of Hefei is very important, and it will inevitably become a place of long-term contention, but with the current situation in Jiangnan, it is really not suitable to fight with the Chinese

So he sent someone to report to Wang Dun, suggesting that the troops be withdrawn and Su Jun should be left alone in Jiangbei.

Within a few days, the two sides confronted each other without moving, and the remnants of the Qingzhou army and the Jin people naturally did not dare to attack the city anymore, and Lu Yan was worried about the ships on the Shishui River, and it was inconvenient to approach the shore. Seeing this, Su Jun couldn't help but sigh: "Deng Boshan has the intention of retreating" Now his soldiers have scattered one after another, and there are only six or seven thousand people left-most of them are from the old department, or recruited from Qing and Xu after Dongzhen-It is estimated that with this little man, not only can not hold Lujiang County, but also can't hold Guangling, Linhuai, Xiapi and other places in the south of Xuzhou.

So he also traveled to Wen Wang Dun and asked to retreat to Jiangnan.

Shen Chong did not suggest letting Su Jun cross the river, he said: "The nature of this jackal can only be lured, not pinned on his heart, if he is allowed to cross the river, it is inconvenient to settle, and it will be a disaster for the country in the future." ”

Qian Feng said: "If Su Jun is left in the north, it may be difficult to defend for a long time, and the general's departure this time will be almost fruitless." If the people of the Lujiang River migrate south and accommodate Su Jun's thousands of soldiers, a little gain can boost the prestige of the army and strengthen the heart of the king of Jin to guard the river. Su Jun's department has many northerners, and since they belong to the south of the Yangtze River, the people and land are sparse, why is it difficult to control? How can it become a national problem? ”

Wang Dunsu believed in Qian Feng, as for Shen Chong, he used Shen Chong to "admonish" Sima Rui a while ago, but he had to destroy Wu Xing Zhou's family afterwards, and then leaked some benefits to Shen's family, making Shen's power stronger. So for Qian Shiyi, who has no foundation and no military power, and can only rely on himself, and Shen Shiju, who has a deep foundation and no less than four or five thousand private soldiers, and may tear the flag and do it himself at any time, who is more credible, does it need to be said?

Therefore, Wang Dun finally believed Qian Feng's words, ordered Deng Yue and Su Jun to retreat from Hefei City, and relocated thousands of people in Linhu, Xiang'an and Anhui counties to return to Jiangnan. Lu Yan took the opportunity to recover the Lujiang River and pointed to Xuzhou in the east.

But he was a step late, Xie Feng got Xie Kun's call for help, and he had already gone south from Qingzhou in advance - because the main force of Qian Zhao was compressed to Xiangguo, resulting in no greater enemy in Jizhou, Xie Feng's original plan was to take the opportunity to cross the river to recover the second place, so he raised food and grass in many ways, and the preparation for sending troops was quite sufficient. He even asked Feng Long of Licheng to send troops to help quell the Xuzhou Rebellion.

Feng Long hated Su Jun, as soon as he heard about it, he went to fight Su Jun? Immediately agreed. So the 15,000 men of the army almost poured out of the nest and galloped down the mountain. Ma Xiong held Xiapi for only five or six days, and heard that Su Jun had been defeated and retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, and the enemy army in front of him was very brave and sharp, so he did not dare to hold it for a long time, and he also crossed the river from Jiangdu to the south after plundering on the way.

The remnants of Su Jun were six or seven thousand, and they were stationed in Xuancheng County; Ma Xiong's department of three or four thousand was stationed in Piling County, just sandwiching Jiankang City in the middle. Deng Yue therefore advised Wang Dun to be vigilant, and Wang Dun then asked the Jiankang regime to issue an edict to worship Su Jun's champion general and Xuzhou Assassin Shi, add scattered cavalry attendants, and seal the prince of Shaoling County, so that he could go south to Xin'an; Bai Ma Xiong'an Ji general, Liyang internal history (like Su Jun's Xuzhou Thorn History, are all remote leaders), the general Lehou, so that he will guard the south of the Huiji.

The plan is to drive them all away from the vicinity of Jiankang first, and then try to slowly divide and disintegrate them and seize their military handles.

As for the Hua Dynasty, it naturally stripped Su Jun and his generals of all their positions and titles, and ordered Lu Yan to be the governor of Xuzhou and the two counties of eastern Henan - and put Feng Long under his command, in order to transfer the "revenge army" from Laowo Licheng. Kuang's father and son had meritorious service anyway, so they were rewarded in Beijing.

Kuang Shu was a little worried, so he begged Lu Yan and Wang Gong, saying that I had been a thief before, and I had not been able to make great contributions to atone for my previous sins, and I had no shame to go to the Son of Heaven You help tell the court, won't I enter Jingcheng first? Wang Gong smiled: "Why should the general worry. His Majesty the Son of Heaven is generous, and since the general is here anyway, he can enter Beijing with confidence, and the court should reward him, how can he be justified in harming him? ”

Immediately, his face turned pale, and he threatened: "In the past, if Su Jun was willing to return to Luojin to see him, the Son of Heaven would have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so why should he be troubled because of suspicion, and then flee to Jiangnan?" If the general does not return to Luo, but is suspicious of the imperial court, does he still hope that the imperial court trusts the general?! After all, it is Su Jun's old general, will the imperial court let the general stay in Xu and Yu, and then be the next Su Jun? ! ”

Kuang Shu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, so he had to hand over the soldiers and horses to Lu Yan, and then followed Wang Gong and returned Luo with his son Kuang Xiao. Wang Gong and Lu Yan surveyed the terrain, and after repeated discussions, they went to the imperial court, saying that when the country stabilized the Central Plains, it was inevitable to pacify Jiangdong, but without boats, the Yangtze River would be difficult to cross. It is better to build warships in Chaohu Lake and train sailors for use in case of emergency.

Pei Gai immediately ordered Wei Xun to be the governor of the water division, and made him go to Chaohu Lake to build ships and train troops.

Wei Xunwei was appointed governor of Huaihai during the Jin Dynasty, and was mainly responsible for the management of the north-south trade in the East China Sea, as well as the construction of several ports and "navy" in Qingzhou. However, its results are not as good as Pei Gai intended - the business is well managed, but the sea boatman has never been strong, where did that guy spend his energy and money?

After the Jin Dynasty, the Jiankang regime did not follow the king, and those maritime merchants in Wujun, Wuxing, Huiji and other places were in a very embarrassing situation. The vast majority of merchant groups pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to trade with Qing, Xu, You, Ping, and even Sanhan - since the King of Jin did not strictly prohibit it, and the Chinese did not stop it, and still had a fixed amount of taxes, then why should we give up the opportunity to make a fortune because of political disputes?

But there are also some powerful people who take the opportunity to do pirate work, plundering the merchant ships they encounter - whoever cares which side is which, even if they come out of the same county, as long as they don't belong to my family, they can be captured. Wei Xun didn't have many ships in his hands, and it was basically difficult to stop its momentum, so it was all because the southern wealthy clans spontaneously united to form an organization similar to the guild of the same trade, often gathering more than a dozen large and small ships to go north together, so that piracy gradually declined.

Therefore, Nanshang does not need official management, and he can make a lot of noise about the sea trade, and Wei Xun can no longer control the sea trade because he can't ban the sea coars, and his prestige declines, and gradually he can only divert water and collect taxes in a few relay ports in Qingzhou, and can no longer control the sea trade. Pei should consider that even sporadic pirates do not dare to go ashore to loot for the time being—besides, from the Yangtze River to the Mazishui (Yalu River), there are only a few relay ports in Qucheng and Huangxian on the Shandong Peninsula, and within ten miles or even further along the coast of the rest of the region, except for the salt fields fortified by the officers and soldiers, there are few villages, towns and residents, and even if the pirates go ashore, they will not be able to grab much - there is no urgency to vigorously develop the navy, so he transferred the guard to follow Chaohu.

On the one hand, Wei was in charge of maritime trade and had accumulated some experience in the construction and management of boats. On the other hand, he has been the governor of Huaihai for a long time, and he once had a hot fight with Su Jun, so he didn't take the opportunity to change places, for fear that a split would be formed.

-- Even if there is no land, no soldiers, and horses, but for a long time to control a department or even a field, the upper and lower levels are their own private individuals, and it is difficult to carry out the orders of the dynasty, which can also be called "separation".

There were officials who hoped to close the ports of Huangxian and other places, and ban maritime trade, so as not to invest in the enemy, because the vast majority of maritime merchants came from Jiangnan, especially Huiji County, where Wei Xun was born. In this regard, Pei Gai analyzed: "The maritime merchants take the goods from the south of the Yangtze River, transfer them to Liaodong, and then transfer the goods from the northeast to the south of the Yangtze River, which is indeed very profitable, if it is in the hands of Sima Rui or the Wang family, it really has to be restricted." However, if Jiankang does not see this, or if he has the heart but is powerless, then the proceeds of trade cannot be used by them, so what is there to worry about?

"Jiankang just collects some taxes in the sea trade, and I also collect taxes in Huangxian, Qucheng and other places, which is enough to offset it. Moreover, the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River colluded with each other, and the various gangsters refused to accept the system of Jiankang, bribed the superiors and bullied the subordinates, concealed property, and evaded taxes. It has been reported that Jiankang has gained less than one-third of what we have gained from it. It is the benefit of sea trade, I get the third, the enemy only gets one, such a good thing, how can it be wasted?

"Moreover, when the maritime merchants come from the south and enter the ports of Qingzhou, they will definitely inform me of the internal situation of Jiankang; And when I come to Dingnan, I can also close the ports of Qingzhou as a threat, so that he is my internal response - this natural between, why should I refuse it thousands of miles away? ”

As for the two destinations of maritime trade, Jiao, Gwang, Pyeongju, and Samhan, they are already very remote and barren, so do you need to worry that they can quickly become rich by relying on maritime trade? You don't have to think about it.

——————————

With the gradual improvement of state power, Pei should be able to completely withdraw from the details, and only be responsible for the formulation of major policies and the supervision of important affairs, which is easier than when he was in Chang'an.

For example, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to plan the construction of the new capital of Chang'an, and Xu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, acted very quickly, and soon after the beginning of spring, he submitted the draft of the drawing, and Pei Gai spent several days in a row, pointing out the deficiencies one by one, and asked him to revise them.

According to Pei Gai's meaning, this new capital was built by "imitating" the Tang Chang'an City - of course, no one except him knows what the Tang Chang'an City looked like and regulated - following the old Han and Wei conventions, and setting up three parts: the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city, the palace city and the imperial city are located directly north of the city.

The earliest capital cities that can be verified are Hojing and Luoyi in the Zhou Dynasty, and the shape is still very primitive. The so-called "castle" was originally similar to the aristocratic village, but it was just a living place for the nobles and slaves to protect the nobles and slaves, and there was no place for the common people. Later, the common people gradually lived next to the city, and also protected themselves with fences, just like today's Jiankang City. Zhou has the world, and it has been built into the form of a small city and a big country, but it is all laid out according to the topography, and there is no certain rule.

Later, the population of some cities, especially the capital, gradually increased, and the scale gradually increased, but until the Chang'an City of the Western Han Dynasty, the palace city was still the core, and the official offices were laid everywhere, and there was no imperial city, and the outer city occupied an area not much larger than the palace city. Moreover, Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty adheres to the old custom of living in the southwest for the elderly, and basically sits in the layout of facing east from west to east.

When he arrived at Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to show off his imperial power, he changed the basic layout to sit in the north and face south, but the palace city was still in the center of the city. Only Cao Cao built Yecheng and moved the palace city to the northern center of the city. Originally, in history, it was necessary to wait for the Tuoba clan to enter the Central Plains and build a new Luoyang City, and all the imperial court offices were set up on the east and west sides of the south of the palace, and gradually evolved into the "imperial city" after the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The main purpose of the creation of the imperial city is to gather the main official offices to facilitate the handling of daily political affairs - it is not necessary for the two departments to communicate with each other by car, one in the east and the other in the west of the city. This truth is naturally understandable to Xu Yu.

But there is another reason, which doesn't make much sense. In the past, the city mostly adopted the Li Fang system, that is, the residential area and the commercial area (city) were strictly separated, and the residential areas were also isolated from each other, and the square gate was closed after nightfall to prevent random passage. Of course, this is to facilitate management and prohibit robbers, and Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty is the most regular and strict Li Fang system.

Pei Gai's request that there be no workshop walls, and that merchants be allowed to rent houses on both sides of Tongqu Avenue to open shops at will, is incomprehensible to Xu Yu. He said: "If you don't divide the inside, it will not be easy to protect and easy to protect; There is no city, and it is inconvenient to manage, so it is difficult to collect taxes. Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

Pei Gai smiled and said: "No matter how to distinguish between the inside, it is convenient for residents to come and go, as for how to protect and prevent adultery, it is the responsibility of the police department, not the secretary." There is no city, for the convenience of business, as for the management and taxation, this is the responsibility of the ministry, and the secretary does not need to worry too much. Then he summoned Yu Ling, the servant of the Yu Department, and asked him that you are considering it from the position of a businessman, is it better to set up a city, and it is better not to set up a city?

Yu Ziyu replied: "If you take the officials of Yu as far as the officials are concerned, it is convenient to set up a city; As far as businessmen are concerned, it is convenient to not set up a market. ”

Pei should say that this is right - "I would rather be convenient for the people than for the officials." The people will be happy, and they will be willing to obey the law, but it is difficult for adultery to live; If the officials are convenient, the people will complain, how can there be a country where the people are resentful, and those who can last for a long time? ”

However, Pei Gai also took into account that Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was a product of hundreds of years after all, and it was almost a thousand years after the collapse of the Lifang system, with the current population and the scale of the city and commerce, his ideas were a little ahead of his time. Therefore, the Chang'an City he ordered Xu Yu to design was also smaller than that of the Tang Dynasty, with an area of only about 50 square kilometers. Take the opportunity to avoid the low-lying and humid places in the north of the city, and there is no need to be like Tang Taizong, who was forced to build a Daming Palace in the north of the city.
