Chapter 184: Entering the Imperial Capital

"The City of Miracles That 'Never Falls?!"

Qiao Se savored this sentence carefully, his eyes fell on the city wall, and he couldn't help but nodded: That Emperor Maude really has the confidence and strength to say this!

Such an impregnable city, with a military fortress not far away, is considered by the current level of civilization on the mainland of Ceylon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven with millions of troops and a steady stream of supplies, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gnaw this city.

However, this is only based on the standard of warfare in the age of cold weapons. It may be a bit far-fetched to say "never fall", but it is not false to say that it is solid.

Perry's 3,000 cavalry opened the way in front, leaving Su Ya and Jose walking leisurely behind, and Jose also took the opportunity to ask Su Ya about the situation in this imperial capital.

According to Suya, the city of Gilliat is open to traffic and pedestrians on three sides, except for the city being leaned on by the city and the interior and abroad. The east and west sides are surrounded by a canal that is tens of miles long as a moat, so it is also the most accessible place for waterways.

Many wharves were built in the east and west of the city of Giliad, and the Donghai provinces in the east, the Haixi provinces in the north, and even some coastal provinces in the south could gather their goods here, so they also formed a water business trip directly to the imperial capital.

Hearing what Suya said, José looked at both sides of the city, and sure enough, he saw a lot of docks and ships. Most of the ships flew different flags and tonnages, but they were similar to those docks in the real world. There are also many workers on the wharf who are loading and unloading goods, and they are in full swing.

"Sure enough, it's the imperial capital, I see that these merchant ships and workers are almost full of docks, presumably even if the land route is not passable, this city can provide enough supplies by water transportation alone!" José squinted, this kind of old transport dock was something he had never seen.

Su Ya shook her head with a smile, pointed to the capital and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital, plus several cities around here, I am afraid there are millions of people, and it may be difficult to support the lives of so many people by water transportation alone."

And although there are many such wharves, after all, it is in the imperial capital, and the water trade is not the most prosperous, and the center of maritime trade is in the capital of the East China Sea Province. If you have the opportunity to visit the Paradise Harbor Wharf in the East China Sea Province, the ships and trade there will be truly prosperous!"

Joseph simply turned out of the carriage at this moment, and sat in the front row of the carriage, where the view was good. The little Mao Dun on the side was obviously the first time to see such a big city, and his eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.

On the edge of the city wall, which is almost invisible at a glance, it is said that each paved stone is made of a hard bluestone material, and each stone brick weighs dozens of catties, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain polishing, it still glows with a blue-black luster.

The roads outside Gilliat are also mostly paved with this stone, and the roads several miles from the city have stretched far outward. The carriage was the first to enter the land connected to the outside of the city, which was also the location of the main gate of the city of Gilliat.

Standing far outside the city is a huge city gate, supported by twelve thick stone pillars over 20 meters over, showing a natural white color, which is also the most prestigious "Mord Gate" in the city of Gilliat!

It is said that this huge gate was built in honor of His Majesty Maude the Great, the founding emperor of the country, and it is like a huge wall that stretches across the land of the peninsula. The average height of the Mordmen is almost thirty meters, while the highest point is more than forty meters. With the level of civilization on the mainland of Ceylon, it is truly breathtaking to be able to build such a tall city wall!

Under the white stone pillars, a layer of delicate stone walls is paved, on which are finely carved statues of celebrities of the Empire of Light. There were also ten huge fortresses built on the city walls, and José only made a cursory calculation that the fortress of this city wall alone could hold thousands of soldiers.

On the edge of the tall and majestic city wall, huge stones are neatly piled up like mountains, and on top of the city wall are countless towering and slender wall tops, on which are bright and huge flags, fluttering in the wind on the calm and atmospheric city wall.

A thin ribbon hangs from each flag, embroidered with irises and an upside-down sword – the hallmark of today's royal family!

The first to arrive is a garrison under the Mordmen, which is also a necessary way to enter the Mordmen. Unless there is an order from the emperor himself in the imperial capital, he cannot bring troops into the city, and Perry's 3,000 cavalry of the Central Army is no exception.

However, because Su Ya had already sent someone to inform the military department the day before she arrived in the imperial capital, the military department had already sent someone here to complete the handover with Perry.

The officer in charge of the handover was a middle-aged man with an obese stature, and although he was wearing a military uniform, he did not have the bearing of a soldier in his expression. As soon as this guy saw Su Ya, he immediately smiled all over his face, nodded his head busily, and his attitude towards Perry was also extremely respectful, but as for Jose and Gould and others, he directly chose to ignore them.

Su Ya's attitude towards such a guy was naturally not very good, and after simply completing the briefing and handover, several people marched through the garrison point to the city gate under the leadership of this fat man and a team of soldiers.

José looked at the soldiers in bright armor with some curiosity, it was clear that these guys were not the same as the uniforms of the Central Army. Gould, who was on the side, saw that his eyes fell on these soldiers, so he whispered on the side:

"These guys are soldiers of the security station, and they are responsible for the defense of the entire imperial capital. As for the fat man just now, I'm afraid he is a petty officer in the security office of the military department, but for the soldiers of the imperial capital, even the same rank is one rank higher than the local generals!"

Only then did Jose understand a little, looking at the fat man in front of him who nodded and bowed, he couldn't help but show a hint of mockery in his eyes: this kind of guy is not a regular soldier at first glance, but a gentleman, and even the action of riding a horse is a little clumsy, I'm afraid he is just a moth in the military department.

Everyone walked along the garrison point, and José also changed to a war horse at this moment, only the little Maudon was still looking out curiously in the carriage. It was nominally a garrison point, but directly in front of the imperial capital, there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

After hundreds of years of operation, it has become a sizable bazaar, and José also saw many merchants and farmers hawking and hawking, as well as groups of soldiers patrolling in the uniforms of the police station. Just such a small market is a little more prosperous than Boulder Town. (To be continued.) )
