Chapter 113: Keeping the Enemy Outside the Country
At this time, there is an old saying in Shandong, Jinqufu, Yinjining, and Yanzhou City, which is beaten by steel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In history, the scale of Yanzhou City was actually not large, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, named his beloved tenth son Zhu Tan as the king of Lu, and ordered Yanzhou City to be the royal city of King Lu, and specially allocated funds to build Yanzhou, so the scale of Yanzhou City was grand, and the city wall alone was more than 14 miles long, which gave rise to the saying that Yanzhou City was beaten with steel.
Feng Yunshan and Ouyang's injuries were almost healed at this time, and the examination period was approaching, and the students were also quite depressed and panicked, so a group of people went together to travel to Yanzhou City, one to change their minds, and the other to familiarize themselves with the environment.
In order to be able to appreciate this Yanzhou Mansion slowly, everyone did not take a carriage this time, but took an ox cart, which is slow and steady, which is the most suitable for students who are sad and sad.
The old cow mooed twice, and then everyone began to travel to Yanzhou City together.
Yanzhou is a big city, with a radius of more than ten miles, but fortunately, the students have nothing to do, all for recreation, so this is also a shame and a lot of fun.
"The north of the city is a turning door, it's very interesting to look at, you and I have nothing to do today, how about going north?"
Ma Zimian had been to Yanzhou with his father many times before, so he was naturally well-informed, and volunteered to act as a guide, which led the ox cart to the north.
"Yanzhou is a big city, the city wall is more than ten miles in radius, it can be called a copper wall and iron wall, the four gates of the east, west, north and south are built with urn city, but the urn city of the north gate is quite interesting, the gate is the door that opens to the east, the city wall is also built around the seven turns, called the twisting head door, I remember when I came to my father mentioned it to myself when I was a child, I was quite surprised at that time, I haven't seen it for many years, and I want to go to see this twisting door."
Mazi said with a gushing face.
In ancient times, there was generally an urn city built in the fortified city, which was not unusual, but generally speaking, the north gate was also facing north, why to the east? The pockmarked face said that the students were also quite curious, and wanted to find out.
Half-size, who doesn't have a dream of walking the rivers and lakes and making contributions on the battlefield? Men have a river and lake in their chests, and so do students.
The ox cart came to the north gate, and sure enough, the north gate of Yanzhou City opened to the east through the urn city, crossed the moat and the sheep and horse wall and climbed the steps, turned to the east is the city gate, the city gate is facing the rest of the platform on the right side of the door, Li Gou estimated that he should have wanted to deal with the sudden military disaster, otherwise why didn't the city gate face north and face the east to face the rest?
"Yikes! This gate is so great! ”
A few students are fine, this is also down the carriage to come up to the city wall to watch, several zhang high city gate tower stepped on the foot of the scene is still quite spectacular, the people who come and go under the city seem to be like ants moving, look at it is just a little, enough to see the height of the city wall.
"Most of the disasters of my Ming war originated in the north, I think this north gate is built like this, it should be to defend against this sudden military disaster, right!?"
The heroes see the same thing, in fact, only the group of designers know why this north gate was built in the first place, but the benevolent see the benevolent, Zhao Youfeng also thought so.
"That's it! I'm so impregnable, how can the enemy urge? Mazi face also said with sincere emotion, saying that when I was a child, I only felt novelty when I came here to turn my head, but now it is already big, and I didn't realize the novelty, but I feel more and more that this building is quite majestic.
In fact, generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty is a relatively powerful dynasty in Chinese history, but to be honest, this time has been declining, it is the year of Jiajing, the people in various places are frequent, and there are many external troubles, there are Mongolians in the north, and the Jurchens in the east will also rise at this time, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were arrested by the Mongols at that time after the change of Tumubao, will you say that these will not become the target of public criticism?
Sure enough, the pockmarked face had just come out, and Feng Yunshan said: "No, the country is strong in the city, and the people are united in the hearts of the people." ”
Feng Yunshan was knocked out of his front teeth by the Zheng butcher a few days ago, and at this time, he was not very good, and his speech was a little leaky, and his tone was a little weird, but everyone could still hear this person's words clearly.
"Yes, I also see it this way, Jiancheng Dazhai is only on defense for a while, where is it longer than the people's unity?"
Children, they like to debate the most, listening to Feng Yunshan's conversation, Ouyang was not to be outdone, and hurriedly continued.
"Hmph, if there is no tall city wall from the ground, if the Mongolian iron cavalry sweeps in, even if the people's hearts are united, wouldn't it be in vain?" The pockmarked face seems to be a weapon-only person, and when he heard a few people say this, he was not convinced.
"Mencius has clouds, the city is not high, the pool is not deep, the military revolution is not strong, the rice is not much, and the place is not as good as the people!" The blow of Mazi's face made Feng Yunshan a little angry, and this brought out Yasheng's original words, the article on how to get more help and less help to lose what is wrong.
Meng Shengren said that the geographical advantage is not as good as the people, so it can be seen that the effect of people's hearts is not more powerful than that of the city's high pond and depth? Feng Yunshan said: "If you want to talk about defending the city, it is naturally the power of the people's hearts!" ”
"I think so."
Ouyang was also angry at this time, his face turned red, and his face was red when he argued, which was naturally nothing new: "The "Historical Records" uploaded that Wu Qi also said this with the King of Chu at the beginning, in the past, the Sanmiao Kingdom was backed by mountains and waters, and one husband was a pass, but it was not broken by someone as soon as it was attacked? The unity of the people is the foundation of governing the country and defending the city! The city is deep in the pond? It's just an auxiliary! ”
"Auxiliary? Is that dispensable? Mazi sneered: "I think that Wang Shouren and Wang Yangming are also important ministers of this dynasty, this person still says that the key to my Ming Dynasty lies in Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong and other four places, why?" There are Mongolians in the north, and if you choke these four places, you can protect me from worry-free, do you see that these four important towns are not high and deep? If this is what you say, why didn't the court tear down the walls and only preach enlightenment? ”
Mazi said with a face: "I think the so-called propaganda and education, and the incomplete unity of the people's hearts are all regarded as auxiliaries, if you really want to block foreign enemies, you still rely on this hard steel city!" ”
"You ......" Feng Yunshan spoke a little unfavorably at this time, and he was also a little angry: "What the sage said is useless?" You're still a student, why do you say that? ”
"Okay, don't fight anymore, you and I are just students, how can these things be judged, there are ministers in the DPRK and China, and you and I still need to argue here?"
Zhao Youfeng only felt a pain in his brain, and several people were fighting here, their faces were red, their voices were piercing, and a few adults next to them also looked at this side, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, this is the way.
Originally, Zhao Youfeng's words were just trying to interrupt everyone's meaningless argument here, but he didn't think that this had become a target, Ouyang said angrily: "Shouldn't I be a scholar and worry about this world's affairs?" Should you be a useless person for the rest of your life? ”
As the saying goes, useless is a scholar, Ouyang Pingsheng hated this thing the most, the body and bones of the reader may be weaker, but what the world needs is a smart person, Su Dongpo's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" also said that Qin dispersed the guests of the Six Kingdoms and scattered them among the people, so that the country died, and those who can decide the fate of the world have never been scholars?
Zhao Youfeng rubbed his head, a little helpless, this person didn't seem to like a long and short pointless argument, and couldn't help but say: "I naturally didn't mean that." ”
"Hmph, Brother Liang said that as long as the city is strong and the pond is deep, I can resist Mongolia in the north, but the Great Wall has been built for thousands of years, and the disasters in the north have never been quelled? You also said that this matter of defending against the enemy is something that only the court officials should worry about, have you ever read "Cao Di's Polemic"? Meat eaters despise, whether our country's fortunes are prosperous, whether the country is long-term, we need you and me to work together, is it possible that the Ming Dynasty can only rely on a few city walls, and a few pavilion elders will be smooth and prosperous? ”
Li Gouyu couldn't help but roll his eyes, these little guys, I'm afraid that if they continue to tear up, what the three emperors and five emperors say will be pulled out! Hey, reader, it's really annoying.
"Brother Gou, what do you think of this Jiancheng Lizhai?"
I wanted to ask Li Gouyu to save him and end this senseless argument quickly, so Zhao Youfeng turned the conversation to Li Gouyu, saying that he was asking questions, but in fact, it was a request for help.
Readers are like this, they like to talk highly, whether they understand it or not, anyway, they have to pretend to be like they can talk about everything they say about astronomy and geography, and a few people have only been working hard for a while, and they have talked about Jiancheng Dazhai from this turning their heads, and this has talked about what meat eaters despise, and they need to read people to work together and other nonsense, and they may really be able to say it one by one in the historical records, and Li Gouyu is also quite a headache.
"Behold, I will keep the enemy out of the country!"
Scholars should naturally be worried about the world's affairs, the so-called rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the wise Li Gou only took the words of the previous sentence, the best defense is to attack, in fact, if you only rely on passive defense even if you hold the city, but there are still countless pots and jars to be broken? Although he defeated the enemy, he was not the same as killing 3,000 enemies and losing 10,000 himself? In this way, to resist these annoying military disasters in the north, in fact, the best way is to hit other people's places, isn't the Emperor Yongle able to do it?
This is a military exercise at the end of three days, this is the Northern Expedition, at the beginning, people still pay attention to the famous teacher, and in the end it is simply unreasonable, don't ask me why I hit you, I just want to beat you, what can you do?
A strong country should be so capricious! Who dared to move in the surrounding countries during the Yongle period? If anyone dares to escape, the three battalions will directly hit your doorstep, and you will still need to come to him?
"Keeping the enemy out of the country?"
Mazi's face couldn't help but slap his thigh when he heard it, right! Why didn't I think of that? Directly follow the example of Taizu and Chengzu to the hometown of the Mongolians, and still need so many altars and jars?
"What Brother Gou Yu said is very powerful, if it is really a foreign enemy to our Daming, even if we win, we will lose a lot of people and food, but if we go directly outside the country, our Daming's altars and jars are saved, but it is those barbarians who cannot be stopped! This is a very good statement, I am a big country, so it should be! ”
Ouyang couldn't help but feel his blood welling up in his heart, and said the same.
The Ming Dynasty has also been brilliant, but also down, when the glorious Taizu, Chengzu soldiers sent Mongolia, invincible, all the Quartet came to the court, so not overbearing, but when the emperor led 500,000 elite Beijing troops, but was defeated and captured in Tumubao, which also became the eternal pain of the Ming people! At present, the Ming Dynasty is already quite declining, who doesn't want this Ming Dynasty to sweep away the decline and reproduce the glory of the Taizu and Chengzu periods?
The dog's remaining words can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of all Ming people.
can be regarded as covering this annoying argument, Zhao Youfeng gave a grateful look, and Li Gouyu was also helpless, just these babies were so noisy that their eardrums were about to burst, which was really uncomfortable.
