Chapter 253 The Bamboo Bar of the Southern Capital

The great river comes from the middle of the ten thousand mountains, and the mountains are all the way to the east. Zhongshan is like a dragon going to the west alone, wanting to break the huge waves and ride the long wind. The country does not give in to each other, and the shape wins and praises the world. The Qin Emperor is empty of gold, and the good air is still the king. I was depressed and drunk, and walked up to the south platform of the city; Sit and sleep in the vast eternal meaning, and come in the middle of the smoke and sunset! The waves under the stone city are angry, who dares to cross the thousands of horses? The yellow flag entered Luo, and the iron lock Hengjiang was not solid.

The southern capital is large-scale, with a total of four city walls, namely the palace city, the imperial city, the capital city, and the outer outline.

Among them, the circumference of the city wall of the capital is nearly 70 miles, the east is close to Zhongshan, the west is according to the stone city, the south is based on Qinhuai, the north controls the Houhu, the foundation is built with a huge stone, it is built with a huge brick, the scale is magnificent and majestic, and it is very solid. The width of the city foundation is about forty-five feet, the widest part reaches ninety feet, the height is about six zhang, there are more than 13,000 battlements, 200 nest shops, and thirteen city gates.

The circumference of the outer outline is about one hundred and thirty miles. Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital, he took his sons to Zhongshan to observe the situation in the capital. They found that the palace was too close to Zhongshan, and if the cannons were erected on the mountain, the palace would be easily hit, and there were some important commanding heights, such as Yuhuatai in the south and Shogunate Mountain in the north, which were left outside the city, which was very unfavorable to the defense of the city.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of Waiguo City in the twenty-third year of Hongwu.

This outer Guo city is mainly built by using the loess hills on the periphery of Yingtianfu City, only a part of the city wall is added in some weak defensive areas, and eighteen city gates are opened, so it is commonly known as "Tuchengtou", and the strategic places such as Zhongshan, Yuhuatai, Shogunate Mountain, Xuanwu Lake are encircled into the city wall.

Li Xing's soldiers came to Bagua Continent, and the nobles of the southern capital were moved when they heard the wind.

The nobles of the southern capital, lying on the merits of their ancestors, have continued for three hundred years, but since the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty politics have gradually been controlled by the civil official group, and the nobles have become like the Ming clans can only oppress the people and accumulate property.

Li Xingzhi, the Tartar of the Northern War, captured the two kings alive, really made these scum and honored, after all, Li Xingzhi was awarded the title of Penglaibo by the imperial court, and he was also a member of the honor, and he was a nobleman with heavy troops.

This time, Li Xingzhi raised troops in Huguang and captured Zhang Xianzhong, who had plagued the Ming court for more than ten years, and news had come from Jingshi that the emperor intended to crown him as the Marquis of Penglai, and even wanted to marry the lord of Fuwang to Li Xingzhi.

Although the nobles are bastards, they are still in the family of princes, and the current emperor relies on Li Xingzhi very much.

Now that the eastern army is besieging Jinzhou, the imperial court is raising a large army to prepare for Liaodong, and Li Xingzhi has returned to Shandong, and he has no choice but to go on an expedition again.

Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao is a finger count, Li Xingzhi can defeat 40,000 Dongyu with 3,000 soldiers, capture the pseudo-Qing inlaid red flag master, Cheng Prince Yuetuo, judging from the number of ships on the Baguazhou River, Li Xingzhi has at least 40,000 or 50,000 male soldiers in his hands.

3,000 to 40,000, and 40,000 must not fight 500,000?

If Li Xingzhi makes another meritorious service, and even defeats Shenyang and Liaoyang in one fell swoop, then the duke's position is not at his fingertips?

Since everyone is their own person, Li Xingzhi has arrived in Bagua Continent again, and is separated from Nandu by a water, so everyone naturally wants to contact each other.

Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Wei Duke Xu Jiujue, Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi, Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu, Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo and others jointly signed a post to Li Xing, who was stationed in Bagua Zhou, and was personally invited by sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao by boat.

"Duke Wei invited Ben Shuai to a banquet on the Qinhuai River?"

Li Xingzhi looked at Liu Kongzhao who was smiling, and he was puzzled, he was not familiar with this group of scum, and he was born as a thief, how could these high-ranking descendants of the nobles intersect.

The so-called dedication to nothing, either treachery or theft, Li Xingzhi lives with himself, and Xu Jiujue and others, who are more and more aware of it, must have bad intentions.

However, he was under the southern capital of the city, and made new military exploits, these cowards categorically did not dare to disadvantage themselves, since they were invited, and they had so much money in their pockets, it was good to beat them in the autumn wind, after all, the scale of this military horse expansion was too large, and it was a little bit to be able to subsidize a little.

"Alas! Wei Guogong is so polite, how can Ben Bo bear it, sincerity Bo, you see so many military horses under Ben Bo parked here, this day people eat horses and chew, it will cost seven or eight hundred stone of grain, Ben Bo just wants to contact you feelings, and there is not so much money and food to settle the army, if this gang of bastards changes over time, disturbing the place where Taizu is buried, Ben Bo can not afford to eat it! ”

"Peng Laibo said this, what's wrong with you staying in Nandu for a few more days? Let the army return to Shandong first, as for the use of the army, Ben Bo will allocate a part of it to you, and then we are all relatives of the country, you came to the southern capital, do not worship the place where the Taizu mausoleum is buried, and those officials will impeach you, saying that you are arrogant and arrogant! ”

Liu Kongzhao has a large package, from the Nandu Shun Grand Canal to Jinan is at most 20 days of waterway, according to the 50,000 army consumes 800 stone of grain every day, but it is only 16,000 stones, converted into silver is only 30,000 or 40,000 taels, this money can be made by Liu Kongzhao alone.

Of course, Liu Kongzhao is not spending this silver for nothing, if there is a big chaos today, using 40,000 taels of silver to marry Li Xingzhi, an earl with heavy troops, will be beneficial to the Liu family and not harmful.

"That being the case, Ben is disrespectful!"

Liu Kongzhao was so upright, Li Xingzhi naturally refused, so he ordered the army to rest for a day, and tomorrow Zhang Shaoqian, Zhang Wu, Alan Chai and others would return to Shandong first, and he would command the iron soldiers and the full green flag to be extended in the southern capital for two days, and then chase the brigade.

After arranging the movement of the army, Li Xingzhi took Li Bangjie, Amba and more than 100 personal guards on Liu Kongzhao's ship.

Six dynasties, Jinling Emperor royal.

When the boat entered the Qinhuai River, Li Xingzhi's eyes lit up.

Since the incident, he has walked through dozens of state capitals, but none of them are as prosperous as Jinling.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are small merchants and hawkers everywhere and an endless flow of people, and the shops are crowded with guests.

On the Qinhuai River, boats come and go, painting boats stand, blowing, playing and singing.

The guests of the Wei State banquet naturally did not choose a remote corner, but set up a banquet in the Meixiang Building of Li Xiangjun, a famous prostitute in Qinhuaihe, to entertain the now hot Penglaibo.

Although Meixianglou is not a big green building in the south, it is very famous in the Qinhuai River, and it is one of the eight Yanyan courtyards of Li Xiangjun. It is used to entertain Li Xingzhi, which can not only show his status as the Duke of Wei Xu Yunjue in the southern capital, but also show his elegant style, which is naturally the best.

When Li Xingzhi arrived at Meixiangyuan, Xu Yunjue and others had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and the warriors in the troubled times rose, although they still didn't look down on Penglaibo, who was born as a bandit, but they also knew that Li Xingzhi had a knife handle in his hand.
