In the autumn of the 11th year of Tiance, an edict that attracted the attention of the whole country was issued: the following year, that is, the 12th year of Tiance, New Year's Day, will be the official move of the new capital city of Beijing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There will definitely be a large-scale ceremony on the day of the official move-in, but it is impossible for all residents to wait until that day to move in, in fact, before the edict was issued, there were already new residents in the residential area one after another - mainly the military dependents of the Tiance Tang army, and after the decree was issued, the government departments and merchants in Youzhou also sent people into the city to tidy up their new homes.

The pattern of the new capital city is grand, as far as the general direction is concerned, it still retains the aesthetic design of the construction of the Chinese capital city of "nine longitudes and nine latitudes, nine tracks of warp painting, left ancestor and right society", but it has been repaired according to actual needs, the palace where the Son of Heaven lives is still the core of the entire capital, but under the insistence of Zhang Mai, the regulation of the harem has changed, and the large royal garden has become a semi-public facility.

The regulation of the administrative region echoes the existing administrative system of the Tang Dynasty: the palace of the Son of Heaven sits in the north and faces south; The evaluation platform is located in the middle of the capital, facing the north; The central government system is in the east, and combined with it is the inevitable growth of various large and small administrative institutions; The privy military system is in the west, corresponding to the three battalions of various large and small schools, military research institutes, ordnance manufacturing institutes, military academies and forbidden armies; The academic system centered on the Hanlin Academy is in the Northeast, and the corresponding academic system is a larger college system than the jungle of Qiuzi College; The legal and supervisory system centered on the courts and the monitoring desk is in the northwest; To the south of the Correction Observatory, there are large-scale residential and commercial areas.

The construction of the entire capital has been completed, the leveling of the roads of nine vertical and nine horizontal has been completed, the palace, the temple, the government and other official facilities and the houses of meritorious military families are funded by the government, and the construction of commercial areas and residential areas is taken care of by the people themselves in accordance with the planning of the capital. The square city structure of the Han and Tang dynasties was abandoned and converted to a street system.

The city defense system still includes city gates, city walls, city towers and moats - however, only nine towers and moats have been completed, and the rest of the fortifications are still under construction - the current Tiance Datang is in a state of offensive for external expansion, even when the Khitan is approaching Yanjing at its worst, Yang Yi is not afraid that something will happen to Xincheng, which was already inhabited by tens of thousands of Tang army dependents at that time.

If you follow the complete plan. The new capital may not be completely completed in 30 years, and now it can only be regarded as the first phase of the project, and all kinds of facilities are enough to make the new capital run well. Unlike the construction of the capital in previous dynasties, the construction of the capital this time, in addition to driving more than 100,000 prisoners of war, almost all of the domestic labor was useless and free of charge. Employees must pay for their wages, and they must pay for materials, so although the construction of the new capital this time is quite costly in terms of government finances, it has pulled a huge commercial chain.

After the promulgation of the decree, the merchants and gentry who had not yet built houses in the city but had already obtained land also stepped up the construction of various houses.

Before New Year's Day. The first inhabitants – plus the various floating populations – are conservatively estimated to be more than 100,000, and at a time when 100,000 is considered a large city in the world except China, but the size of the population is just beginning for the size of this burgeoning empire.

――――――――

At the same time, news came from the West - the Generalissimo was coming back!

Feng Dao and others have already revised the wording, preparing to support the "First Emperor of the Ages" to ascend the throne as soon as Zhang Mai returns. Now the worst enemy has been swept away. The desert has been subjugated, and the Eastern Hu and Western Regions have also been unified, as for those separatist regimes in Jiangnan and Western Shu. In the eyes of the people, compared to the current great national prestige of the Tiance Datang Dynasty, it is just a dry bone in the grave, as long as an edict can be passed to the south, if it is not obeyed, then the army will press the realm, and it will be leveled in one fell swoop! The Khitan, which has the victory of mountains and seas and the sharpness of the leather room, has been drawn, not to mention the southeast scattered into four or five pieces!

At this time. Zhang Mai's accession to the throne is simply in accordance with the will of God and the hearts of the people! Not only Confucian scholars, but also merchants, soldiers, religions, and tribes all felt it. The Generalissimo should be in this position and reign over the world!

However, after Zhang Mai's team arrived in Liangzhou, they stopped and issued a call. I want all the old Anxi departments to put down the things at hand and rush to Chang'an to meet before the beginning of winter.

This is not a command, but a call to ......

But all the Anxi veterans who heard the news were even more excited than receiving the order, from the general Yang Yi, down to the unknown veterans at the lowest level, as far east as Liaojin, west as Shule, south as Dongting, and north as Huanglong, as long as they could walk away, they all heard the news, and even Yang Dingguo, who was already sick, decided to rush to help the sick - and Yang Yi, as a son of man, did not stop it!

Yang Dingguo couldn't walk anymore, so he used sixteen people to carry a big bed out of Youzhou City, transported it to the dock in the smoothest carriage, and transferred it to the south.

Tiance established the rebellion in Mobei, the pacification of Liaodong, the national prestige is better than before, and the Hebei region that has experienced the threat of a war has become more stable after the war, and the business flow that was originally suppressed by the horror of the war has a small blowout after the war, the monsoon to the south, the fleet of Liaojin and Tianjin is taking advantage of the monsoon to transport the spoils of war from the northeast to the southeast as a new batch of bulk goods, and the canal ships are flowing to the north, but I heard that Yanjing will set the new capital, and Xuzhou has been officially included in the territory. Countless businessmen have taken the opportunity to go north to take advantage of this grand event that is bound to cause a sensation in the world.

When Yang Dingguo's boat went south, he occasionally opened the window of the boat, but when he saw the countless large and small river merchant ships heading north, he couldn't help but sigh with relief that the country was prospering step by step.

After arriving in Henan, he abandoned the ship and went ashore, and the subsequent road was hard for Yang Dingguo, but the closer he was to Chang'an, his spirit was prosperous, and he kept saying to his grandson Yang Hua all the way: "This little road is nothing!" I think that when we crossed the Broken Leaf Desert, fought Talas three times, smuggled into the rare tracks, crossed the Green Ridge while fighting with the Hui people, deceived the Shule defenders nine times, and broke the Hui Hui, that is called the dangerous and fearful road! These journeys are nothing! ”

Others are old, some memories are beginning to be confused, these years about the story of the Anxi Tang Army's Eastern Expedition is more and more prosperous, of course, with the word of mouth more and more legends, the realistic color has shrunk, Yang Dingguo and other Anxi old people have nothing to do and like to listen to the storytelling in the teahouse tavern, as a witness of the Anxi Tang Army's Eastern Expedition, at first I couldn't help but privately point out some storytellers to make up the place, and later I heard a lot. Even the memories in his head have been tampered with.

Yang Hua was young, and he was happy to see that his grandfather, who was originally sick, was getting better and better along the way, but he didn't know that this was a sign of a return to light.

After entering the Guanzhong Plain, the chariots and horses turned to the waterway, went upstream, and soon reached the vicinity of Chang'an. Yang Yi, Zheng Wei, Guo Fen and others came by land. The last one arrived first, and he was already waiting at the pier with Zhang Mai. On the south bank of the Wei River, thousands of people stood in accordance with the military formation--this is all the people who can arrive in the entire territory of the Tiance Datang Dynasty, among which hundreds of people are already gray-haired, and there are thousands of naïve children, some of whom are still in infancy on the expedition. Now they have all grown up, and those children under the age of ten are the new generation that were born after the eastward migration.

Guo Luo, Yang Yi, Zheng Wei and Lu Jialing each took a son and carried Yang Dingguo off the ship with the bed, and Zhang Mai and Guo Fen, as well as the eldest son and the son, led all the old Anxi troops. On the pier, they shouted in unison: "Please protect the parade!" ”

Deputy Metropolitan Protector!

Anzai's deputy capital protector!

This is Yang Dingguo's official when he was in the Western Regions!

Yang Dingguo knew that his body could not be happy and sad, so he couldn't hold back but his tears flowed for a long time, but some old people in Anxi were already crying.

This crying is not sadness, but a kind of moving that the hope of life is finally satisfied.

Thinking about the time when he was trapped in the desperate domain, Guo Shidao was known as the Great Protector of Anxi, and Yang Dingguo was known as the Deputy Metropolitan Protector of Anxi, but there was only a small new Broken Leaf City. And yet who else is snickering now? Everyone took it for granted, and even the titles of Anxi Dadu Hu and Deputy Dadu Hu became one of the most glorious titles in the dynasty.

Reality always modifies history. If the descendants are angry, they will make their ancestors more and more great, and if they are not angry, they will even bring down the historical evaluation of their ancestors, and the Greco-Roman after the Renaissance is the former. After the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties were the latter, but in this time and space, or everything will change.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was destroyed.

Recently, after Liu Zhiyuan was stationed, a lot of fortifications were added, and today's Chang'an City is beyond recognition compared to the Sui and Tang dynasties surrounded by eight rivers and the grand scene of all countries coming to the dynasty!

However, this does not prevent thousands of Anzai's old ministers from remembering them.

Changan. Chang'an, which is a holy place in the hearts of the Tang Army in Anxi. No matter what her current appearance becomes, in the minds of all Tang people, she will always be the irreplaceable spiritual capital of this nation!

Liu Zhiyuan's subordinates have all been cleared out of 300 miles by Guo Wei. The current Chang'an City is all under the world of the New Tang Dynasty army. For those newly built fortifications, everyone disdained them and ran directly to the remnants of the former Tang city wall in the far northwest.

Yang Dingguo stepped out of bed tremblingly under the support of Zhang Mai and Guo Luo, called Zhang Mai a "special envoy", and looked at Guo Luo, Guo Luo, who had grown a beard, looked more like Guo Shidao in middle age, I don't know whether it was deliberate or confused, he called "Dadu Hu", and then the whole person suddenly crawled on the ground, picked up a handful of weathered soil dust from the old city wall, put it in his mouth, and laughed loudly: "Chang'an!" Changan! We're back! Old brothers! Did you see that? We'll be back...... ......"

His smile froze suddenly, and the whole person didn't move, Yang Yi already understood what was going on, and saved his father from crying loudly, laughing while crying, laughing and crying.

Zhang Mai held Yang Dingguo's body, looked at Guo Luo, looked at Yang Yi, looked at Zheng Wei, looked at Lu Jialing, and then looked at Xue Fu, Li Bin, Shi Ba, Shi Jian, Murong Chunhua...... Look at your children, look at Xi Zhong, Guo Song, Yang Hua, Xi Zhong......

The leaders of the older generation have passed away, and the successors of the new generation will grow up.

Chang'an under your feet is already the land that bears the glory and suffering of yesterday, and the new capital near the sea will open a more brilliant tomorrow!

He pulled out his horizontal knife and began to engrave the sixteen words that had been carved in the broken walls of the new Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions on the old city wall that had survived countless battles:

The wind is raging, sweeping thousands of miles, and the heat and yellow are everywhere, that is, Datang!
