Chapter 589: Chang'an Civil Rebellion
Lu Qian has not yet received the reaction to Song Jiang's problem, nor has he received the information of Zhenghuangqi, but he only knows that Tian Hujun took advantage of the situation and took Xiazhou, an important town in Western Xia. Let him laugh out loud.
Song Jiang is not in a hurry at all, the governor of a province, like the big boss of a province in later generations, how can he do it in less than ten months?
What's more, when the big and small officials in the Hejian officialdom were vying to give gifts to Song Jiangzhang, Song Gongming was not there? Only this one, even if he really received a heavy gift indirectly, it can only be regarded as a negligence. It's just a demerit punishment, can you really beat someone to death with a stick?
And Xuanzan and Zhenghuangqi are not worried. At the eastern end of Dijinze, in addition to the Liao people, there are also Fengfu Lin Sanzhou. If you can't beat it, can't you escape it? By the time they fled into the earth, there were already more than three horses in their hands.
Lu Qian is now more concerned about Huanqing Road and Qinfeng Road.
The king of Huanqing Road seems to have almost surrendered, but Zhao Dian of Qinfeng Road is still at both ends. After all, his sense of urgency is far less than that of Huanqing Road. The latter was right under the nose of the Liangshan Army, in the area east of Longshan. Qinfeng Road, on the other hand, is west of Longshan.
It is not easy to fight from the west to the east, from the east to the west. A Longshan, north-south direction, like tenon, is solidly wedged into the east-west Qinling Mountains, forming a big barrier between Baoji Tianshui. Separated Shaanxi and Su.
The Weishui Gorge that communicates Baoji and Tianshui cannot be used for military purposes at all, otherwise how could Zhuge Liang go out of Qishan?
This Qishan is not Qilian Mountain, open the map, at a glance, Qilian Mountain northwest and southeast of the mountain range, Qilian Mountain nourished the four towns of Hexi: Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang. It can be said that the Qilian Mountains are a wet island jutting into the arid region of the northwest, and if there is no Qilian Mountain, the desert of Inner Mongolia will converge with the Qaidam Desert, so there will be no Hexi Corridor. It is the snow and glaciers on the Qilian Mountains that nourish the northern towns.
Qishan is definitely not Qilian Mountain. Qishan is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains, and out of Qishan means that you have walked out of the Qinling Mountains, and you have to fight north along Longshan, so that there is a break in the sky to collect Jiang Wei, and the street pavilion is lost.
The street pavilion is one of the military important places on the west side of the north end of Longshan.
Qinfeng Road has Jingyuan Road in the east and Xihe Road in the west, and the terrain is also dangerous, and the eyebrows have not been burned by the fire. But if he does this, he doesn't know what kind of impression this person has in Lu Qian's heart.
……
In the middle of May, the land of Guanzhong was full of smoke, because of the policies pursued by the Liangshan army, there were few gentry and wealthy families in various places who did not hate them. These people were also unwilling to be tied to death, and they raised troops one after another, no matter how many people and how much strength they had, they always restrained part of the energy of the Liangshan army.
But many of the armed forces are spinning and disappearing.
This Guanzhong Plain is no better than the mountainous and hilly area, the latter can't fight and escape, but here you can't escape. Although it caused a lot of trouble to Liang Shanjun, it did not help the overall situation.
A baggage team arrived and brought Liangshan cannons one after another. Later, Ling Zhen commanded the artillery battalion to bomb Chang'an City indiscriminately, day and night.
The damage to the city wall is limited, only the city gate tower and the female wall are smashed, but there is no sign of smashing the city wall.
After all, this Chang'an City is the former capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, even though the Youguo Army stationed in Chang'an at the end of the Tang Dynasty made Han Jian, because the original city was not easy to defend, and Chang'an City was rebuilt. The outer city and the palace city of the original Chang'an City were abandoned, and only the imperial city, called the sub-city, was retained for repair. The original imperial city has three walls, east, south and west, and the north is a wide horizontal street, which was originally the boundary between the imperial city and the palace city. In this renovation, the south wall of the palace city was used as the north wall of the sub-city, and the east and west walls of the imperial city were connected together, so that the original imperial city became a strong city surrounded by tall city walls on all sides, and the three gates of the imperial city of Suzaku, Anfu and Yanxi were closed, and the Xuanwu gate was opened in the north for defense.
The reconstructed Chang'an City is called the "New City". The circumference of the new city is 20 li, which is only a quarter of the circumference of the original Chang'an City. At the same time, an inner city was built in the castle as a district where the government was located. However, Han Jian also completely ignored the outer city, and built a small city outside the east and west city walls, as the subordinate Danian County and Da'an County, and later restored the original name of Chang'an County and Wannian County respectively. The two cities have become the external barrier of Chang'an New City.
In this way, after five dynasties to the Zhao and Song dynasties, the scale of the city wall has never changed.
Many people in later generations felt that Chang'an fell in the Zhao and Song dynasties, but they did not know that Chang'an City in the Zhao and Song dynasties was just an imperial city in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
The Liangshan army is now concentrating on stone artillery to bombard the county seat of Wannian, and from time to time it will launch a light attack on the city. And the Chang'an Western Army, under the command of Liu Fa, also defended the city, so that the Liangshan army could not advance an inch.
Liu Fa's main force was stationed in Chang'an, but he also divided his troops into the eastern and western cities, and made many targeted preparations for the Liangshan artillery of the Liangshan Army, which had not been discovered so far. The first is to strengthen the enemy building, set up a fence in front of the building, and cover the roof with wheat bran bags, so that even if the enemy tower is hit again, it will not collapse. Then he ordered people to make a large number of wooden walls, and the stones swept away the city, so that it was all right.
As for those bed crossbows, he wouldn't have arranged one on the east side of the city wall of Wannian County.
In addition to the stone cannon bombardment, the first thing the Liangshan army did was naturally fill in the trench and fill the moat. The water source was cut off first, and then bundles of dry branches and dry firewood were thrown into it, and then it was reverted to the wooden platoon longboard, and even the trench bridge was omitted.
The Song army at the head of the city did not eat white rice, and when they saw the Liangshan army filling the trenches, they fired their bows and crossbows together, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
When the bundles of timber and grass were visibly above the water surface of the moat, they fired another rocket fire. But Liang Shanjun was obviously prepared. That didn't get in the way.
Seeing that this had no effect, Song Jun resumed his single-minded attempt to block the convoy, but it was also ineffective. The trench cart was very well protected, and the front plate armor was covered with leather, which was very tough. Coupled with the weight of the earth and rocks on the car, the Divine Arm Bow could not shoot through. Only the artillery bed crossbow can barely work, but where does the Song army in Wannian County have?
And there are a lot of them. Soon the moat was filled!
Everything seemed to be going well, and when the Liangshan army captured Wannian County to the east, Chang'an City was not safe either. If Liu Fa had no reinforcements from outside, this city would be broken sooner or later.
No one knew what Liu Fa was already brewing at the moment, and the people in Chang'an City only knew that they were one step closer to danger. The public sentiment is already turbulent, not to mention that there are people inside who are specifically spreading rumors, spreading headless posts, and stirring up trouble.
Liu Fa can't concentrate on the war!
You must know that since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of people who have made a fortune. The unprecedented prosperity of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty created a shrewd and bold merchant class, and from the day when the Liangshan army broke through Yan'an, merchants of all sizes in Chang'an City began to hoard all kinds of goods. And most of them focus on the necessities of life, such as food and salt.
By the time the Liangshan army arrived in Chang'an, the price of this grain had quadrupled, and there was nowhere to buy salt.
Naturally, such an act aroused the wrath of the people. On this day, I don't know who yelled "rob", and the people with their pockets rushed up, pushed to the door panel, broke the heads of the profiteers, and looted the coarse and fine grains in the store. This matter was quickly suppressed by the Song army who rushed in. But the impact of the matter is very bad, and the impact is very great.
