Yuan Dadu, Turkic called "Khan Bali", meaning "the residence of the Great Khan".

From Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, to the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty to the twenty-eighth year of the Yuan Shun Emperor, this place has been the capital of the Yuan Dynasty for one hundred and one years.

Its city is short from east to west, long from north to south, the city wall is 60 miles and 240 steps in total length, open 11 gates, three gates on the south, east and west sides, two gates on the north side, and are attached to Nezha "three heads, six arms and two legs".

The pavilion of its center, south is the imperial city, the red wall is built around the imperial city, also called "Xiao wall", its main gate is called the star gate, there are thousands of steps corridor on the left and right. Outside the east wall of the Xiao Wall is the Cao Canal Road.

With the Taiye Pool as the center, three palaces are arranged around - Ouchi, Longfu Palace and Xingsheng Palace, which are the places where the imperial city is located and the place where Emperor Yuan governs and lives.

Outside the imperial city, the south and southeast are the Yamen official office, the north area of the waterhole area is the downtown area, the east is the Taimiao, the west is the Taisheji, the drum tower, the bell tower are all here, this place is the most prosperous business district in the whole city, there are rice market, noodle market, satin market, leather hat market, gold, silver and jewelry market, iron market, goose and duck market and other market houses, as well as Wanghu Pavilion, Wanchun Garden and other garden pavilions.

The city wall of the capital is rammed earth to build, four zhang high, more than eight zhang wide, the city wall can even ride a horse longitudinally, the old method of the Song Dynasty is adopted when building the city, that is, the Yongding wood is set up in the wall first, and then the horizontal wood is added, and then the soil is rammed.

Due to the rainy summer in most of the capitals, the earthen city walls are easy to be washed and soaked by rainwater and collapse, so at the beginning of the construction of the city, it was proposed to cover it with bricks and stones, but due to lack of financial resources, it was abandoned. The Later Yuan court specially dispatched the army, responsible for harvesting reeds, weaving reed mats, and covering the city wall with reed mats every summer, called "reed city". It is commonly known as "the city of cloth".

At first, the Yuan Dynasty pacified the world by force, and there was no external threat. It is because the management of the city gate is very loose and extends in all directions. Later, the Yuan Dynasty was eroded, the uprising swarmed, and the Yuan court built the eleven gate urn city in the nineteenth year of Zhizheng, with defense facilities such as arrow towers, gate gates, pheasant moats, etc., and when the walls collapsed over the years, they also recruited the people to repair them, and never stopped.

The whole city is majestic and magnificent. It can be described as impregnable, and it was the first male city in the world at that time.

Qi Yufeng was wearing a robe lined with a pure white background, with a silver-gray armor on the outside, and an ancient sword four feet long hanging from his waist, but he saw a layer of green gas faintly emitted from the scabbard, and the sword was not unsheathed. Shaped like a falcon.

In front of him, countless people were building a mound of earth, a high mound of earth, building a slope. It is constantly rising in the direction of the city walls.

Qi Yufeng looked up at the capital city and looked at it for a while. Back in the tent, he looked at the man in front of him. He asked him, "So your queen of Goryeo is not guilty of my court. And a lot of credit? ”

There was a person standing in front of him, and he smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that as fate is today, we and Timur don't spend our time knowing that King Wuwei is invincible and will rule the world, and we are just obeying the heavens." ”

It turned out that this person was the henchman of Empress Qi Chengniang, the previous eunuch of the Yuan Dynasty Pu Buhua, the Yuan Shun Emperor was confused, so that Qi Chengniang mastered the royal money and grain, but she conspired with Timur Buhua, at the last occasion, against the capital, and now the Timur does not spend 200,000 yuan to form an army of nobles, has already defected from the Yuan court, escaped from the capital, and went all the way to the northeast and Goryeo.

Qi Yufeng nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "So I'm ...... I see. ”

Pu Buhua hesitated for a moment, and saw that Qi Yufeng did not speak, so he knelt down and said: "Now the king of Goryeo, the king of the country, can not govern the country, framing the minister, but is a faint monarch, I and other subjects are very worried, but helpless, now Empress Qi has ordered a crusade against Goryeo, we want the country to not be without a monarch for a day, but none of the monarch's relatives can be worthy of the important responsibility, only the general Li Chenggui is sympathetic to the people, and has been in the Yuan Dynasty for many years, thanks to the country, we all elected him as the new monarch, and asked the Ming Emperor for permission." ”

Qi Yufeng looked back at the old and beardless eunuch, with a servile and humble look on his face at this time, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I heard that Emperor Yuan once scolded Empress Qi for being unfamiliar, you have been in the Central Plains since you were a child, and now you have been here for thirty or forty years, but you have already paid so much attention to your homeland, which is rare." ”

Pu Buhua had seen him talking with the six major factions of the Central Plains before, talking and laughing, knowing that the people in front of him had seven or eight hundred thousand male soldiers under his rule, and there were countless strange people, and he was the most powerful person in the world at this time.

What he says at the moment is what he says, and he must never refute it.

Immediately, he just kowtowed vigorously and said, "I beg the emperor's permission." ”

Qi Yufeng waved his hand, nodded and said: "Now that our army is focusing on conquering Dadu and recovering the Central Plains, you love to choose the surname Li as the monarch, so be it." Live a good life in the future, and after my Ming Dynasty recovers China, don't make trouble at the border, otherwise I don't care if your surname is Li or Wang. ”

Pu Buhua immediately kowtowed to thank him, his mouth was full of gratitude, and the corners of Le's mouth trembled.

On the other hand, Shi Nai'an suddenly stepped forward, holding a pen in his left hand and a book in his right hand, and asked: "Since you have changed the emperor, what is the name of the new country, report quickly." ”

When Pu Buhua heard that the Emperor of the Central Plains had given Goryeo the establishment of the country, he immediately smiled, raised his head and said with a smile: "Our monarch has prepared two names, one is Korea, which is the clear meaning of the rising sun, and it is the ancient name of Goryeo, and the second is Hening, which is the place where the father of General Li was inaugurated. ”

Qi Yufeng smiled: "What advice does Prime Minister Shi have to offer?" ”

While Shi Nai'an pondered for a moment, he said: "'North Korea' is an ancient name, and the origin of 'Asahi Distinct' is elegant. ”

Qi Yufeng nodded and said casually: "Well, it's accurate." ”

When Pu Buhua heard this, he kowtowed again and again to thank him, and then raised his head and begged: "The founding of our country is in turmoil, and our people are looking forward to the arrival of the king day and night, and I implore the emperor to send an envoy to officially canonize me and give my country the seal of the king of Korea." ”?

Qi Yufeng heard that he was impatient to say one thing at a time, so he lowered his face and frowned: "Right now, you and I haven't officially established a country. What a king's seal, don't give! ”

Say that, he's got together. said to Park Buhua: "I have accepted all the money you sent this time, but since North Korea is also going to war." You don't have to break the bank, keep the money and go to beat that guy with the surname Wang. Also, until I pacify the Central Plains, you don't want to come in the future. ”

After that, he hurried out of the big tent.

Pu Buhua knelt on the ground, both happy and worried, at this time it has been three months since Qi Yufeng security oath, and the Xiliang Army raised the banner of the Ming Dynasty and established Qi Yufeng as the emperor. The year name Wuwei, all the way to the siege of the city, has seized a large area of the territory of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and later Shanxi, Tianjin, Hebei and other places have fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, Yang Yuanhai has arrived outside Tongzhou City after Changlu and Zhigu; Duan Sixie, Shi Zong, and Shi Xiu conquered Jinan and Linqing, and laid down a large territory in Shandong. and Zhu Yuanzhang's army is far away.

And just a month ago, the Great Xia Kingdom created by Ming Yuzhen that year, Wan Sheng, Zou Xingzhen, and Wu Youren rebelled and attacked Chongqing. I want to live an emperor's addiction.

And the Budai monk who was sitting in the west couldn't say anything, together with the golden lion king Dastan and the blue-winged bat king Wei Yixiao, they led a strange army of Mingjiao. Taking advantage of the paralysis of the south, he first beheaded Zou Xingzhen and Wu Youren before the battle. captured Wan Sheng alive, and then took the power of victory. said that Ming Yuzhen's son Ming Sheng, made him surrender to the Ming Dynasty emperor Qi Yufeng.

At this point, the Western Tianwan Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu has all been returned to the same sect; On the land of the Central Plains, the only person who can confront Qi Yufeng is Guo Zixing, who was originally inconspicuous in the East Road Righteous Army, is Guo Zixing's son-in-law Zhu Yuanzhang.

When it was impossible to loot Wansheng's mansion, he found correspondence between Wansheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, in which Wansheng had previously captured Dali and made the relationship between King Liang and Duan Gong ruined, and Zhu Yuanzhang instigated Wansheng to establish himself as the king, saying that he would form an alliance with him as a Sun-Liu alliance in the Three Kingdoms era.

In front of Qi Yufeng, there is also a big city with the last elite soldiers of Meng Yuan, as well as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who are about to attack Jining and Yijun, in this season, how can they have any thoughts to talk to a small Fanbang vassal state.

Today, it's just that under Qi Yufeng's love to ignore it, Qi Chengniang still insists on taking the initiative to report everything, in Shi Nai'an's words, there is really "indomitable perseverance", so under the "moved", they hurriedly met and set the inheritance of the Korean system.

Qi Yufeng came to the outside of the tent, hunting in the wind, in the distance, the masters of the Shaolin faction, the Wudang faction, the Kongtong faction, the Kunlun faction, the Emei faction, and the Huashan faction led the disciples to gather in the barracks, pointing at the capital, quite a little high-spirited.

Just before March, Qi Yufeng raised troops from Datong and went south, and Wang Baobao saw that it was cheap, and hurriedly led a male army from the north to the south to seize Datong.

Who knew that when his army arrived at the Jinlong Gorge of Hengshan Mountain, he saw that this ancient and modern desperate natural danger, the place where the traffic was rushed, there were people who split the mountain as a wall, and in the extremely high place, they portrayed "those who commit strong men, although they are far away, they will be punished." "Eight big words.

Between the Tianfeng Ridge and Cuiping Peak of this Heng Mountain, the canyon is deep, the cliff stands sideways, the position of these eight big characters, from the top and bottom of this mountain, are enough to be a hundred zhang away, it can be said that mortals cannot.

Wang Baobao looked at these eight words, but saw a stroke, a point and a pick, all of them are integrated with the most exquisite martial arts, and the font dragon flying phoenix dance, the pen is strong, like a fast sword and a halberd, the same as the forest, which contains the yin and yang, the spiritual momentum, is really like Li Bai Shiyun: "Suddenly like hearing ghosts and gods, I only see dragons and snakes walking from time to time." The left and right sides were like thunder, and they attacked and fought with Chu and Han. ”

He looked at these eight words, was in a trance, and pondered for a long time, when he suddenly heard a soldier shouting, saying that on the top of the peak, there was a person.

Wang Baobao stared at it, but saw that under the sun, a person stood on a big stone on the top of the peak, facing the majestic pass, standing proudly, and the momentum was extraordinary.

And a long sword in his hand, under the illumination of the sun, was like a long wind and lightning, bright and blazing, and the sword qi was like frost, rushing straight into Xiao Han Tianyu.

This sword had been in Wang Baobao's house for more than ten years, how could he not know, immediately he thought that Qi Yufeng personally guarded the pass, knowing that under his strong martial arts swordsmanship, he invaded the south, and it would be difficult to succeed, even if he was lucky enough to capture Datong, he would live under his elusive assassination every day in the future.

Immediately, he sighed gloomily, and led the army back to Kaiping.

In fact, the people on the peak at that time. It's not Qi Yufeng, but Yu Lianzhou, the head of the Wudang faction. At that time, if you want to find a second person who can climb the peerless peak, you must have great courage. Courageous, guarding the gateway of Shanxi's advance and retreat to the Central Plains, Qi Yufeng was close to the left, and there was only this person, when he led the troops south, he asked Ken Yu Lianzhou for help.

And Yu Lianzhou did not give in, so he scared off Wang Baobao's hundreds of thousands of troops with one person and one sword.

He had always been silent and didn't like to talk much. But with this move, the Wudang faction has become famous all over the world in the past few months, and everyone praises it, and all the people in the martial arts, who don't know that Yu Lianzhou has one person and one sword, and they suppressed Wang Baobao's hundreds of thousands of troops, so that they did not dare to go south.

And the battle of Fa Yuan was in full swing at this time, under this opportunity. The first one who couldn't sit still was the Shaolin faction.

The Shaolin faction originally supported Chen Youliang, but after he repeatedly defeated Zhu Yuanzhang's men, the deal was not profitable. And in the years that followed. The Shaolin faction hooked up with Zhu Yuanzhang again, eyebrows at each other, and then wanted to use the forces of Chen Youding in Fujian. In the southeast, the Southern Shaolin School was opened.

Who knew that these conspiracies were all exposed by Qi Yufeng, and Zhu Yuanzhang's power has increased greatly in recent years. At the moment, there is already some control.

Wait for Duan Sixi's army to pass through Luoyang and go all the way south. The Shaolin faction couldn't sit still anymore, so the Shaolin abbot Kongwen went to Dadu in person, met Qi Yufeng, and also contacted all factions in the world to jointly contribute to conquering Dadu.

After all, the Shaolin faction is a thousand-year-old temple, the heroes sent out like a stream, within a few days, there will be heroes from all walks of life in the world competing to echo, and many people who do not look down on the Shaolin faction are also infected by the momentum of Mingjiao so blowing, it is outside the capital, for a time the heroes of the world gathered, and set up Qi Yufeng as the leader of the alliance, led by him to fight against Mongolia, everyone is an alliance with blood, and swear to resist the enemy.

Qi Yufeng was originally quite unwelcome to this Shaolin Temple, but now he sees that the empty smell comes forward, the ancient road is hot, and the means are heroic, and many heroic guests sell his face.

And among the several major sects, the Emei faction was originally the most low-key, since Zhou Zhiruo left Emei, almost never went out, this time Qi Yufeng issued a hero post, originally thought that this Emei faction would definitely not come, it was just a casual response.

Who knew that the Shaolin faction could not invite Emei, Qi Yufeng invited, but the Emei faction immediately agreed, and immediately sent the elites, all with the messengers of the Ming Sect to the capital, in addition to Pei Jinyi, Zhao Lingzhu, Li Mingxia, Su Mengqing, Fang Bilin and other fourth-generation lay disciples, there are also seven of the "Twelve Jing" passed down by the extermination master Tai himself.

Among the "Twelve Jing", Jing Xuan is old, and when Jing Xuan attacked Guangming Peak, he was already bitten to death by Wei Yixiao, and the others have long since passed away, but now there are still Jingkong, Jinghui, Jingjia, Jingzhao and a few others, who are still in the Emei faction, and their martial arts should not be underestimated.

In addition, the Kunlun faction, the Kongtong faction, after a clever seizure in the Western Regions, at this time the financial resources and martial arts in the sect are greatly increased, and the Ming Sect is so good that the honey is blended, not to mention, although the five elders of Kongtong are old, but they all went to the battlefield, in order to repeat the benefits obtained by conquering the Eagle's Nest that year, followed by the dying moment, to become famous, at this moment in history for the Kongtong faction to make a stroke.

Among the martial arts in the world, Shaolin and Wudang are the most famous, Kunlun and Emei are second, Kongtong faction is second, and Huashan faction is to accompany the last seat, but now Qi Yufeng has set the name of the country, showing his identity, saying that he is from Huashan.

Qi Yufeng galloped in March, originally a few days ago after conquering Changping, he wanted to conquer the capital, but all the way to the city, but did not meet the enemy soldiers, there was no flag on the city, and there were several suspects of ambush soldiers and returned.

At present, they have been waiting under the city for seven days, and there is no Yuan army out of the capital to engage in the battle, Qi Yufeng had to make the decision to attack the city at this time.

He discussed with the generals for a day, and finally made a decision to divide the troops into three routes: left, center, and right, with Yang Yuanhai leading a group of men and horses, and marching from Tongxian; Tian Zaidao led all the way to march from Mentougou; And he himself led the Chinese army all the way and attacked from Changping.

The three-way army has been marching through the horses, and the next day it will besiege Dadu, ready to fill the trenches and enter the city! (To be continued......)
