0192 The capital of Qin
There are seven kingdoms in the Central Plains of Yunzhou, namely: the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty, the Yan Kingdom, the Song Kingdom, the Korean Kingdom, the Qin Kingdom, and the Zhou Kingdom.
In terms of national strength, the Zhou State, which was founded less than 50 years ago, was the weakest, and the Spring and Autumn Ancient State, which occupied nearly half of the Central Plains for thousands of years, was the strongest, while the Qin State, which was bordered by the Great Zhou in the south and the Great Wilderness in the north, ranked second to last.
Don't look at the difference in ranking, but the territory of Qin is twice as large as that of Zhou, which can be seen from the size of the imperial cities of the two countries.
The state of Qin is a country of 'home and world'.
More than seventy percent of the country's people are surnamed Qin.
Regarding the origin of the Qin clan, it can be traced back to thousands of years ago.
They were originally a nomadic tribe living in the Great Wilderness, but they were defeated in a battle with other tribes for pasture and were expelled to the border of the Great Wilderness, and only then did they take root in Xianyang, which was still a small village at the time.
After hundreds of years of development, the Qin clan has grown stronger and stronger, and later the Council of Elders passed a resolution to open up the country and establish Great Qin, which has a history of more than 300 years.
The state of Qin was located in the northernmost part of the Central Plains.
To the east is South Korea, to the west is the Tang Dynasty, and to the south, after Hengshui is the Great Zhou.
Geographically speaking, this kind of geographical location of being attacked from the back is absolutely not superior.
But the Qin people are all nomadic tribes, born with fierce folk style, brave and good at fighting, although they have been repeatedly invaded by the armies of neighboring countries for hundreds of years, but they all rely on excellent rangers and strange tactics evolved from hunting to turn danger into danger, and stand tenaciously between the Central Plains and the Great Wilderness.
Xianyang City is different from the Great Zhou Imperial City, the ancestors of the Qin people have a long-term vision, they are very good at flexibility, according to the characteristics of the nomadic tribes of the Great Wilderness Grassland and the changes in the arms of the Central Plains countries and the siege weapons, after hundreds of years of continuous transformation, the city wall to resist foreign enemies alone has built as many as five roads, the highest inner wall is more than 30 meters high, the shortest outer wall is also 12 or 3 meters, this city wall is like the annual rings of the big tree, the Xianyang City Imperial Palace is wrapped in layers, as long as the city gate is closed, let you have thousands of troops and horses do not want to step into the city.
Because it is located on the only way to connect the Central Plains to the Great Wilderness, and after being a nomadic people, the commercial trade of Xianyang City is extremely prosperous, and not only the merchants of the seven countries of the Central Plains are gathered here, but also merchants from the Great Wilderness can be seen everywhere.
In the morning, a large number of merchants and travelers blocked in front of the city gate, with the one-meter-thick bronze gate slowly opened, Xianyang City, which had slept all night, began a new day of excitement and busyness.
In the midst of the army of travelers and merchants entering and leaving the city, two inconspicuous carriages, surrounded by more than twenty servants dressed as domestic slaves, waited for the guards to enter the city for inspection.
"If Quanyang City is built like this, it may be able to resist my people for a while. ”
Li sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains and looked at the city wall outside, and suddenly spoke.
"If a country's imperial city is built like this, it will actually lose. ”
Zhang Qingfeng, who was lying on the soft couch in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, replied lightly.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
Along the way, Li's Terran language became more and more fluent.
Zhang Qingfeng opened his eyes, looked at the blue and red city wall outside the window through the curtain that Li opened, and said: "The capital of a country is like the heart of a person, its duty is to command and control the arms and limbs to resist foreign enemies, and it should not rely on the heart itself. ”
"Which two?"
"First, there is a lack of security. Second, distrust of the army. If you have confidence in the defenders guarding the cities, why should you wrap a thick carapace in the heart that is supposed to be the commanding duty?"
Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly, although she was eager to learn and progress along the way, hoping to integrate into the human world as soon as possible, she had heard Zhang Qingfeng talk about many theoretical views beyond her cognition, but this statement was still difficult for her to understand.
Zhang Qingfeng smiled faintly, knowing that with the thinking of the demon clan, it was indeed a little difficult to figure out the truth in it, and just as he wanted to explain two more sentences, an indifferent and impatient man's voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let all the people in the car come down and be checked, otherwise, go back where they came from!"
"Brother, we are merchants in Mao County, and there are female dependents in the car, it is really inconvenient, you see, can we be accommodating?"
"Don't even think about going into the city if you don't accept the inspection, who knows if you are spies sent by other countries?
"Brother, look at what you said, okay, I'll discuss it with the master, you wait. ”
There were two hard knocks on the door outside the carriage, and the rabbit shouted in a low voice, "Young Master." ”
Zhang Qingfeng replied, "Say." ”
"The guards of the city gate of Xianyang City have to let the young master get out of the car for inspection, otherwise they will refuse to let him go, what do you think should be done?"
"Money given?"
"I did, but I wouldn't take it. ”
"It's rare, there are guards who refuse to take money, so don't embarrass him, just accept the inspection. ”
The car door opened, and Zhang Qingfeng walked out with Li, who was dressed in a black robe.
"Young master, ...... over there"
The rabbit pointed to the second carriage behind Zhang Qingfeng, his face sad.
In the second carriage is the car of the high priest of the Demon Leopard Tribe, Lu, although Lu promised to help Zhang Qingfeng track down Qin Yun'er's whereabouts, but he was full of hatred for the traitor Li, and refused to share a carriage with her, in desperation, Zhang Qingfeng had to prepare one for her.
"I'll do it. ”
Zhang Qingfeng knew what the rabbit was worried about, along the way, even Lu who had a cold attitude towards Zhang Qingfeng didn't have a good face towards anyone, the rabbit was not less deflated in front of her, and she had to ask Zhang Qingfeng for help because she was worried about touching her nose again.
Zhang Qingfeng got out of the car and came to Lu's carriage, explained the reason with a smile, and after a while, the car door opened, and a beautiful and unparalleled figure appeared in his sight.
"You ......"
Seeing Lu who did not cover up his angry figure, Zhang Qingfeng had a headache, and the screams that sounded one after another around him attracted everyone's attention to Lu.
The women of the Demon Leopard Tribe are all rare stunners, and there is no doubt that the body is explosive, that is the inheritance of the beast talent of the Demon Leopard, and she is the first beauty of the tribe, in addition to her figure, her appearance is rare in the world, and the passers-by around her have never seen such a woman who combines beauty and sexiness in her life.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Qingfeng repeatedly told Lu not to be too ostentatious, and prepared five sets of wide robes of different colors for her, just to cover her blood-pumping seductive body.
From the beast-like heavy breathing sound of the people around him, Zhang Qingfeng knew that he was going to be in trouble.
