Chapter 37: Joining Hands in the Trial (Part II)
How big is Shengjing City? In fact, it is not big, of course, we cannot use the current eyes to see Shengjing City in the late Ming Dynasty. In the 21st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1388 AD), Liaodong commanded the envoy to command Min Zhongdu to supervise the construction of Shenyang City. The word "city" here refers specifically to the "city walls". After the completion of the Shenyang city wall in the Ming Dynasty, the circumference of the city wall is 9 miles and 10 steps, 2 zhang 5 feet high, the north and south are long and the east and west are short, the city takes the central temple as the center point, and the garrison is inside. It was mainly used to resist the military attacks of the Mongols and Jurchens in the north, which was the original purpose of the Ming Dynasty to build the Shenyang city wall.
Therefore, it can be seen that the original Shenyang city was only three or four square kilometers at most, and was later expanded in the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543 AD), but these walls were basically destroyed and built in several battles of the Ming Dynasty.
In March of the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1621 AD), Nurhachi captured the city of Shenyang, which restored it on its original foundation, but this was already the largest city that the nomadic people could build.
In the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1625 AD), the capital was moved to Shenyang, and the palace was built in the city, and the name was changed to Shengjing in the eighth year of Tiancong (1634 AD). Over the years, it has been built one after another, relying on the Han slaves plundered from the Ming Land, Jianyu expanded its area to 123 square kilometers, which is basically more than three times larger than the original Shenyang City, and it is only the size of a small county-level city in later generations.
In the entire land occupied by the Jianyu, it is the largest city, otherwise the Jianyu would not have set the capital here.
Shengjing City is boxy, it is a "well" pattern, the four main roads in the city divide the whole Shengjing City into nine pieces, just like the nine palace grids, and the palace of the building is built in the middle of the grid. These four roads enclose the Shengjing Imperial Palace in the middle, and the corresponding to the four roads are the eight gates that enter and exit the Shengjing City.
The east of the city is: Neizhi Gate, Fujin Gate, the south of the city is: Desheng Gate, Tianyou Gate, the west of the city is: Huaiyuan Gate, Wai Zheng Gate, and the north of the city is: Dizai Gate, Fusheng Gate. These eight gates are guarded by the eight banners of Jianyu, each banner has a door, and outside the city are all kinds of farms and horse farms.
Originally, the Jianyu were actually annexed and merged by various Jurchen tribes, large and small, so there were problems in management, and they could not be delegated to the required troops without a specific name and military order. Therefore, Jianyu used flags to divide the army, and at the beginning there were only four colors, namely yellow, white, red, and blue, and four solid color flags, which were divided into three levels.
With 300 soldiers, it is compiled into a bull record, 5 cattle records are compiled into a Jiala, 5 Jiala are compiled into a solid mountain, and a solid mountain is a flag. The military governors of each level are called Niu Lu Ezhen, Jia Lae Zhen, Gushan Ezhen or the banner master, so each banner was originally less than 10,000 soldiers.
After the unification of the Jurchens, the number of troops expanded to 60,000, so that each flag was overnumbered, and Jianyu then expanded the original four flags to eight banners, adding four flags inlaid with yellow, inlaid white, inlaid with red, and inlaid with blue. Among them, the three flags of Zhenghuang, inlaid yellow and Zhengbai are directly commanded by the emperor, which is equivalent to the emperor's personal soldiers, called the upper three banners, and the flag owners of the remaining five flags are respectively served by the prince Baylor and the prince of the clan, which are called the lower five banners.
Later, with the annexation of the Mongolian royal family, coupled with the addition of the Ming Dynasty's surrendered troops, and the Han people in the occupied areas were captured as strong men to fill the army, the number increased, in order to facilitate management, Huang Taiji extracted the Mongols and Han people in the Eight Banners alone, and formed the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Han Army in accordance with the regulations of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
Even so, at this moment, the population of the entire Jianyu did not exceed one million, and the vast majority of them were Han slaves, and there were only about 200,000 people who really belonged to the three categories of Eight Banners. Due to the limited population and the inefficiency of the nomadic hunting mode of production, which could not afford to support such a full-time army of up to 200,000 people, Jianlu began to build farms and horse farms around Shengjing. The children, princes, ministers, and nobles who arranged for themselves to go to the Three Banners all lived in Shengjing City, while the ordinary soldiers in the Lower Five Banners lived in the surrounding farms with Han slaves and some disabled and clothed stewards of the Eight Banners.
The movement in the sky had already alarmed the children of the Eight Banners guarding the second gate of the West City, and in their stunned eyes, it was like the giant ape that came out of the myth, and this was the Sun Dasheng in the play! A soldier had already ridden a fast horse along the road, and was marching towards the central palace with a stream of urine, ready to report to the regent Dolgon and Emperor Shunzhi.
It's a pity that it was too late, the white dragon-shaped air flow flew out from the end of the stick, and the gate outside the west city was like paper paste, instantly turned into powder, and then the white dragon frantically rushed along the avenue to the inner gate of the east city. On the avenue, the shops and houses on both sides of the road were all swept in by the frenzied air current, whether it was people or things, they were divided into dozens or hundreds of sections by the air flow without saying a word, and the blood flow was then swept into the white dragon. As the white dragon moved forward fearlessly, it gradually turned into a blood dragon, and then smashed the Neizhi Gate, which gradually dissipated, leaving only the remnants of the land.
Lu Xihua made the second gate of Shengjing City in the west and east of Shengjing City transparently, laughed cruelly, strode forward, and went straight to Shengjing City.
The gate outside the West City has been broken, and the remaining Huaiyuanmen Eight Banners disciples are so frightened that their legs are weak, and when they see the giant ape's mouth showing sharp teeth and eyes penetrating the fierce light, they are all so frightened that they scatter and flee. The giant ape is dozens of zhang tall, and when it lands, it is only a thousand zhang away from the wall of Shengjing City, and it comes to Huaiyuan Gate in dozens of steps. Many soldiers of the Eight Banners who had no time to escape from the city tower had no choice but to jump off the city wall one after another, regardless of whether their legs were broken or not, they just wanted to save their lives at this time.
Lu Xihua came here to kill, where can they get rid of their wishes, the left hand stick is a sweep, a hundred zhang long stick along the middle of the city wall, suddenly countless bricks and stones fell, the city wall that took 450,000 Han people's efforts to build suddenly collapsed, and all the soldiers who jumped over the wall and fled were buried.
Some soldiers were bold enough to shoot arrows at the white ape, but as soon as the arrow came out of the bowstring, it immediately disappeared, and then a golden light shot out of the white ape's eye and fell on the soldier, and the person was gone.
At this time, Shengjing City was in chaos, countless shouts spread out like ripples in a pond, and the silence of Shengjing City was broken by myths in this early morning when dawn was approaching.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than a dozen healthy horses rushed out of the mansion carrying some disheveled men and women, and ran to the south of the city, clearly to escape from the city, and at the same time, Shengjing City started from the west of the city, and people ran out like ants that exploded their nests, scattering in all directions, in a vain attempt to escape the attack of the giant ape.
"Want to escape, it's not so cheap!" The white ape threw the stick in his hand, and suddenly the stick flew in the air, the gods dotted, and the smoke shone brightly, and then the stick changed, turning into a mist of mist, during which the starlight flickered, and there were thousands of changes. This mist instantly turned into a cover covering the entire Shengjing City, trapping the city firmly.
The city gate in the south of the city was opened, and several healthy horses rushed out of the city, hitting their heads on the thin clear light, and in an instant people turned over on their backs, and the horses' necks and front legs were broken on the spot, and they fell to the ground. Those people screamed in horror, got up from the ground, and rushed out, but they hit their heads on the clear light and could not get out. Immediately afterward, these people screamed wildly, drew the blades at their waists, and slashed wildly at Qingguang, but they could not move a bit, and finally they could only sit on the ground in vain and cry.
The height of the giant ape is close to 100 zhang, how tall is it, more than Block B of the third phase of the Beijing International Trade Center, and the circumference of the city wall of Shengjing City at this moment is only 16 kilometers, and the longest unilateral length is only 1,500 zhang.
It can't be delayed any longer, and if it drags on any longer, the emperors and princes of Jianyu will flee. In Jianyu's gaze, the giant ape swung its head, and suddenly the two long feathers behind the black gauze and green silk crown on his head let out a roar, and two dragon-shaped python monsters with scales and claws escaped.
One was cyan and the other was white, chasing each other and heading straight for the city. This green and white two strange dragons, the white one, the body evolved the sun, moon and stars, thunder spirit electric essence, around its body, rushing around it; Wherever they passed, no matter where the characters were, they were reduced to powder, and there was no mercy.
"Grandpa the Great Sage spare his life! Grandpa the Great Sage spare his life!" Many officers and soldiers in the Eight Banners of the Han people have already recognized that the one who is mighty in Shengjing City is the Monkey King in the Ming Dynasty monster "Journey to the West", except that he does not have the appearance of such an ape, not to mention that this ape is wearing blue armor, and he clearly looks like a general. Everyone knelt on the ground in the street and kept kowtowing, and the ground was bleeding, just begging this white ape immortal to spare his life for the sake of the same origin and sect in Huaxia.
"Hehe, how can I have a grandson like you who has forgotten his ancestors. Remember, I'm not the grandfather you are waiting for, I am the grandfather you are waiting for, you are not my own grandson!" The giant ape snorted coldly, his mouth spat white light, and these Han soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy were suddenly gone.
He Shen saw the sweat on the giant ship, and he knew in his heart why Lu Zhenren, as a cultivator, personally killed these Eight Banner soldiers below, because the Qing Dynasty killed too many Han people after entering the customs. Yangzhou killed 800,000 people on the 10th, Kunshan slaughtered 80,000, Jiaxing slaughtered 500,000, Jiangyin killed 100,000 on the 81st, Jinhua slaughtered 50,000, and the massacre during the capture of Sichuan lasted for more than ten years and killed nearly 5 million. The population of China has dropped from 80 or 90 million in the Jiajing Dynasty to 40 million in the Shunzhi Dynasty.
"Huaxia ~ Huaxia ~" He Shen muttered in his mouth, at this moment he had a new and deep understanding of Huaxia in Lu Zhen's mouth, it was clear that other civilizations except Huaxia were pigs and dogs, either surrendering, integrating, or perishing, he instantly felt how merciful Lu Zhenren was in his own world.
Zhu Youzhen burst into tears, knelt on the ground and refused to get up, the national revenge was avenged, although it was not done by his own hands, but he could also go to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors and ancestors, which was enough to comfort his heart.
Shengjing City was clean, except for a few unfallen city walls, there was nothing everywhere, and it was clean, leaving only the huge palace in the center of the city, where Emperor Shunzhi and his mother and queen mother were shivering in it.
How to deal with them? Kill them, No! It's too cheap for them, Lu Xihua couldn't help but think of the ancient military generals showing off their merits, Jingguan. This real person does not do Jingguan, but he should take it as a warning!
Thinking of this, Lu Xihua smiled, removed the cover outside Shengjing City, and the blue and white two dragons also turned into Lingzi and returned to the crown of his head.
The white ape stretched out his right paw and grabbed it in the air, and shouted, "Get up!"
I saw that the huge Shengjing Imperial Palace was suddenly swaying, and countless mud turned out from under the palace walls on the periphery of the palace, and the entire palace city began to slowly rise off the ground.
"Take you back to Jingshi as a warning, I think who will dare to invade Huaxia in the future?!" The white ape shouldered Yue, and carried the entire palace with a foundation dozens of meters thick on his shoulders, and went westward, leaving only a big hole in Shengjing City.
"Real people, real people are really divine powers~" Looking at the white ape coming from the step, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh, ancient legends say that there are yellow turban wrestlers in heaven who can move mountains and negative mountains, and at this moment, Lu Zhenren turned into a giant ape, shouldering the palace built by Jianyu, and was not inferior to the mythical gods.
Outside Shengjing City, countless Han slaves poured out of the farm, they saw the giant ape attack Shengjing City from a distance, the whole city had no resistance, in just a quarter of an hour, all of them were destroyed, and they rose up to resist, those remnants of the Eight Banners either fled or were killed, and all the people who remained in the farm were Han people. At this moment, the hundred-zhang giant ape, shouldering the palace like a mountain, passed by him, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and cried bitterly.
"You and others are all Chinese people, and those who are willing to return to the dynasty should pack up their belongings, load their cars and ride horses to the south. After saying this, countless packages fell from the giant ship in the air, scattered on the ground, and then disappeared into the sky with the white ape, and the sky and the earth returned to darkness. The Hermes-Epitek looked at the figure in the distance, came back to their senses, and quickly got up and opened the package, which was full of rice, wheat, and even vegetables and dried meat, all of which were enough food to eat on their way back to the south.
The Han people wept with joy, and they all packed up the farm, and the gold and silver treasures left by the Eight Banners were naturally also among them, pulling the cattle and horses that usually worked. Shengjing has been extinguished, and the war horses raised in the horse farm are all ownerless, so they have naturally become the first choice for everyone to pull the cart. Hundreds of thousands of Han people converged into a rolling torrent and returned south along the footsteps of the white ape.
------ Dividing Line------
In the silver sea, the North Pole boat is slow to move slowly, and the palace built is placed outside the north of the Jingshi, with a height of tens of meters, like a hill, and has become a monument for the Ming Dynasty to show off its achievements.
The white ape crossed the Shanhaiguan, and the people inside and outside the Shanhaiguan were in a hurry, and after learning that this was the imperial palace in Shengjing, the cheers of the people reached a climax. Zhu Youzhen took Wang Chengen to appear from the giant ship to appease the people, soldiers and civilians, and arranged for the troops stationed in Shanhaiguan to divide some Han people to pick up the Han people who returned from Shengjing to the south, and the rest could also collect and pay for the lost land and clean up the remnants of Jianqing. Wu Sangui looked at the deeds that would only appear in mythology, and knew that the prestige of Emperor Chongzhen had surpassed that of previous emperors, so he did not dare to obey the yang and the yin, and immediately obeyed the order.
After the Beijing division was done, Lu Xihua took Wang and the two of them to leave while the giant ship broke through the sky and returned to Yinhai.
After Wang Chengen and He Shen saw Lu Xihua's thunderous methods, they naturally bowed down to their real people.
"Next, you're going to have a trial together. I have made it clear beforehand that the trials are dangerous and that you may die in them. At this moment, you have not yet stepped into the cultivation, you are still mortal and fleshy, so you must be cautious. ”
"I don't know what the purpose of this trial is and how to be considered successful. Wang Chengen thought for a moment and asked.
"You have also seen that in this silver sea, all the spheres are small worlds, and you are originally the people of these small worlds. In some small worlds, there are Huaxia people, and some do not. What's more, the world in which it lives is a fragment, simple and straightforward. Our cultivation is to steal the heavens and fight for the destiny of the heavens, so that you can live with the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon shine together, and your goal this time is to enter one of the simple world fragments and obtain the destiny of that world. Lu Xihua explained word by word, and Wang and the two listened very carefully, these were things they had not been exposed to before.
"People have their own fortunes, families have family fortunes, and countries have national fortunes, and of course all sides of the world have their own fortunes. The fortune of each world is not fixed, it can be eliminated or raised, and it can even be cultivated on its own, but the easiest way is to plunder. Plundering the fortunes of those who do not exist in the world of the Huaxia clan to grow yourselves, this is the purpose of your trial this time. Success, naturally there are surprises waiting for you, the world is big, there is no place that is not wonderful, you should be careful, I don't want to work hard to select you out, but here in vain to lose your life. ”
"I'll get it. He Shen and Wang Chengen agreed.
"Remember, help each other. The small world of this trial is a fragment of Western culture. He Shen, you have served as the secretary of the Imperial Academy, and you know foreign languages, and you have been in contact with foreigners, and the place where you are in the world this time is the territory of foreigners, you two consult with each other, act cautiously, go. Lu Xihua waved his hand, and Wang and the two of them suddenly turned into a point of light and threw a small ball in the silver sea.
