Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Capital

Now Fan Bufan is here!

However, Fan Bufan knows very well that compared with the wealthy families, the aristocratic forces composed of military and powerful people. The emerging civilian-bureaucratic clique and non-governmental business forces are much weaker.

These aristocratic forces not only have deep roots, but also have military power. With an overwhelming advantage!

Originally, Zhang Zhong didn't plan to say so much to Fan Bufan, after all, Fan Bufan's chance was slim.

The Son of Heaven is still young, and he may give birth to a prince at some point.

As long as you see these young grandmasters being sent to the palace to study, they don't have any reputation. You know the mind of the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, there are so many strong competitors. Fan Bufan's chances are slim.

But along the way, Fan Bufan gave Zhang Zhong so many surprises and surprises. This made Zhang Zhong can't help but put down more capital on him.

"In any case, it's better for us to hurry early and get to the capital. This kind of thing, even if you delay it for a day, it may change!" Zhang Zhong concluded.

He suddenly asked again: "What if those officers and soldiers didn't let them go just now?"

Fan Bufan smiled slightly and did not speak.

If those officers and soldiers really don't let people go, they will see blood.

Along the way, he didn't have to look like he was alone and followed these Shangshulang on the road.

In fact, there has already been a pass around him, leaving a code, (gathered a large number of people.)

The benefits of subduing the cloud volcano at the beginning have now been withdrawn.

So the group continued to hurry!

Along the way, I didn't encounter any trouble, and it became smooth.

Rat-throwing traps. The deeper you go into the hinterland of the imperial court, the more you dare not show too many means.

It didn't take a few days. He crossed the river and came to the foot of Yanjing City.

Fan Yi back then. Yanjing City has not yet been built. It was not until Tang Dan's reign that the capital was finally moved.

Now seeing this majestic city that took thirty or forty years to finally build, even Fan Bufan was a little distracted.

The huge splendor of Yanjing City, naturally needless to say. But when Fan Yi built Yanjing City, he was not most concerned about this.

The defense of the capital of a country is naturally important, but to be honest. When the time really comes for the enemy to attack the capital, no matter how good the defense is, it will not be of much use.

Without him, the key lies in the fact that the capital of a country must be a super city with a population of more than one million. A city of this size. When it comes to defense, the most important thing is the huge amount of resources consumed every day.

This is especially true in such a classical technical environment!

When the enemy attacked the national capital, the organizational strength of the imperial court must be a lax mess. If you want to organize the defense of such a million-dollar city, you need astronomical materials and so on...... It was a nightmare......

Therefore, when Fan Yi designed Yanjing City, the most important thing was to open up a canal.

One of the most important reasons why he chose Yanjing is that although Yanjing is in the north, it is not far from the sea. It's only a few hundred miles away. It is possible to pass guò by sea. A large number of material resources from the south were continuously transported over.

But the cost is much lower than that of land and water transportation!

Now when I came to Yanjing City, in a trance, I seemed to find that the city did not seem to be in the north, but a water city on the left side of the river.

There is a moat that is hundreds of meters wide. The entire Yanjing City is enclosed, as if it is an isolated island on the water.

There is an endless stream of boats coming and going on the water. The same huge rainbow bridges are built on both sides of the river. Communication. A busy and lively scene.

In fact, if they came to Yanjing City by guò waterway. It's going to be much more comfortable. But on the water, if there is danger. Then it will definitely be more difficult to deal with.

The wooden arch bridge is magnificent, but Zhang Zhong said with a smile: "The court has been discussing the demolition of this wooden bridge and the construction of a stone bridge. If it weren't for the opposition of some ministers, I'm afraid that what the extraordinary prince would see now would be the stone bridge!"

"Oh?" Fan Bufan was interested.

Opponents believe that this wooden bridge was left by Taizong and must not be destroyed. And in case of wartime, the wooden bridge can be easily cut off......"

Hearing these reasons, Fan Bufan immediately scoffed. When Fan Yi was back then, I am afraid that he had not had time to build a stone bridge.

When the real army overwhelms the city, if the government is corrupted, the city wall will not be reliable, and what is the use of counting on such a small military facility.

Think about another world, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and Yanjing of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it defense?

However, in the middle and late stages of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was lost several times, and the emperor fled in panic. And at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as soon as King Chuang's army arrived, there was almost no resistance, and the city surrendered!

"It's not in danger in Germany!" Fan Bufan muttered to himself.

"Ignorant scholars, you dare to make a lot of nonsense here!" seemed to hear Fan Bufan's words, and a person passing by turned around and reprimanded him with his sword.

Fan Bufan was not annoyed, and smiled slightly: "What Your Excellency said is that the danger is still somewhat useful!"

Yanjing, who did not see the Ming Dynasty, also encountered Mongolia several times and attacked the city after Jin. Is it also because the city is in danger that it finally turns the corner?

This person was stunned, he didn't expect Fan Bufan to have such a good temper. couldn't help but snort coldly, and was about to leave.

But I heard Fan Bufan say: "But in my opinion, even if it is built into a stone bridge, as long as it is cleverly designed, it will become a trap for the enemy who kills and injures the enemy......"

For example, the stone bridge is narrower, and when the enemy attacks, the force cannot be spread, and it is easy to become a target.

The man said angrily: "The most important thing for the court to act is to prevent the slightest slight. The stone bridge, though small, is no different. At first, it was replaced with a narrow stone bridge, but there were always some profit-hungry copper-smelling merchants who were not satisfied and wanted to change to a wider ......

The same is true of the affairs of the imperial court. This stone bridge can be changed, and everything else can be changed. In this way, so many edicts left by Emperor Taizong will also be replaced......"

Fan Bufan had a feeling of being ridiculous, which really had a feeling of talking with a duck.

He lightly pointed at the soldiers guarding the bridge, and said with a smile: "When Taizong was back then. But the soldiers!"

This person's face turned red, and he said hatefully: "The erection is not enough and the plan! Back then, it was because Taizong had a government soldier." So dominate the world...... The military government is corrupted......"

Seeing this man's heartache. Fan Bufan ignored it anymore, so insightful. It's useless to talk too much.

He looked at the soldiers guarding the city and nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

These soldiers wore leather armor inlaid with iron plates, and their expressions were imposing. Quite elite.

No better than those beggars in the Ming and Qing dynasties!

Back then, Fan Yi just hoped that the soldiers of Nafu would be able to survive fifty years.

In fact, with the peace of the world, business travel, population flow and so on. The system of government and soldiers, which imprisoned people in the land, completely collapsed in about fifty or sixty years.

Fortunately, Fan Yi was prepared back then, so he changed the government soldier system to a recruitment system very smoothly.

And it continued. Select elites from the border army, rotate for three years, and guard the rules of the Beijing Division.

In this way, Fang Cai will not be like the Imperial Forest Army of Dayu, which has been passed down from father to son from generation to generation and gathered in Beijing. As a result, all of them are wasted.

This is like the Han Imperial Forest in another world, the forbidden army of the Tang and Song dynasties, the regimental camps of the Ming Dynasty, and the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It's been a long time. Waste is disposed of.

Now it seems, at least from the point of view of appearance. These guards are quite formidable.

Fan Bufan didn't plan to pay attention to that guy, who knew that this person was chattering, and he would catch Fan Bufan and talk about it.

Suddenly I saw Gao Zhe. Just "huh", obviously knowing.

Gao Zhe said hello angrily: "Wu Jun, I have my life." I won't talk to Wu Jun more!"

On the wooden bridge, there is a great flow of people. Naturally, the speed of walking is not fast.

Although this wooden bridge looks quite magnificent. After all, the load is limited, and the width is also insufficient.

But at this time. Then he listened to the sound of horses' hooves. A group of knights rushed straight over in a brutal manner, causing chickens and dogs to jump around and dodge.

"Hey, who are these?"

Fan Bufan looked at this group of knights strangely, and saw that although they were all wearing the armor of the Great Chu system.

However, one by one, they looked high-flying, with traces of wind and sun on their faces, and more importantly, between their eyebrows and eyes, they didn't look like people from Middle-earth. Even some hot is high nose, deep eyes, blue eyes.

"Shhhh......h

Before they could finish speaking, the knights had already rushed onto the bridge in arrogance.

Fan Bufan and others hurriedly dodged, the wooden bridge was too narrow after all, and there were even people who couldn't avoid it and fell into the water.

Fortunately, several people had almost crossed the bridge, and quickly ran a few steps to the opposite bank.

Wu Jun, who was debating with Fan Bufan just now, also snorted coldly: "Flying high, martial arts are dominant......

Before the words fell, a burst of people turned on their backs, and the wooden bridge actually collapsed, and at least hundreds of people who crossed the bridge, and more than a dozen knights, fell into the moat.

"Fluke, fluke. Luckily I couldn't wait on the bridge......"

Many people have this in mind.

Even the boastful Wu Jun just now was pale and afraid at this time. I'm afraid I don't dare to say anything more!

At this time, Fan Bufan had already been taken into the palace.

This is the imperial palace of Da Chu, and the scale is not too large. But it looks extremely powerful.

Walking in the empty corridor, it is as if you have become a small ant.

The imperial powers of all dynasties liked to pass guò as architectural hints to give their courtiers great psychological pressure. Highlight the supremacy of imperial power.

Fan Bufan met Shangshu Ling Xun Huai at Shangshutai.

Shangshutai is a separate building within the imperial palace, and although it is located on the periphery of the imperial palace, it is already closer to the emperor than all other institutions of the imperial court, which shows its closeness to the imperial power.

This is a high-platform building, and when you enter it, you will find countless cabinets with dense edicts and documents. The black-clad officials who came and went were constantly dealing with all kinds of classic documents.

Shang Shuling is known as the internal minister, and this Shang Shutai is naturally known as introspection. Divide the power of the prime minister, command the territory of tens of millions of miles of Dachu, and the operation of more than 100 million people.

That Shangshu Ling Xun Huai is naturally a high-ranking and powerful person, with a golden waist and purple clothes. There is even a lilac luck on the top, suppressing the Quartet.

Even the current Northern Emperor is just a dark cyan divine power. It doesn't seem to be as good as this Shang Shuling.

But you must know that the divine pool of the Northern Emperor is 7,000 zhang, like a torrent. And the lilac luck on the top of this Shang Shuling is only a trace of it.

is the Son of Heaven, although the natal luck is golden and purple, but it is also only a trace.

However, this is already much stronger than the previous generation of Dayu's Son of Heaven!

"It seems that the population is growing, and the power of humanity is speeding up too much!"

Fan Bufan had a faint feeling that if the upper limit of Shinto could not catch up with the development process of humanity, it would eventually be shattered, just like another world.

"Trouble for me again. The wooden bridge can't be used, wouldn't it have been replaced with a stone bridge sooner? Now that something like this has happened, three of the blood wolf riders have drowned. How can I fight a lawsuit with Zhou Dadu......"

I heard it from afar. Fan Bufan was taken aback, what happened in the morning reached Shang Shuling Xunhuai's ears so quickly.

"It looks like this thing is quite ......strict," Fan Bufan shook his head secretly.

At the beginning, Fan Yi didn't want Da Chu to fall into a situation of emphasizing literature over martial arts, so he didn't deliberately suppress those martial arts and nobles at the beginning.

And more than two hundred years later, the generals of Dachu have become more and more arrogant. Especially the generals who are guarding one side outside!

"Inside, Fan Bufan has arrived. "Someone went up to report it.

"Oh, since you're here, let me see you!" Xun Huai said.

Fan Bufan walked over calmly and stretched out his arms to salute: "Fan Bufan has seen the inner minister!"

Xun Huai is just a literati in his forties and fifties, and his appearance is quite extraordinary.

At this moment, I saw that Fan Bufan had good manners and a good demeanor. After doing a set of actions, there is an indescribable charm, and his eyes can't help but light up: "Okay, good, I can't imagine that you have already entered the country at such a young age!"

Confucian cultivation is only after entering the country. gradually developed a momentum, and only then did he have this kind of demeanor.

It is the so-called qi that fills the inside, and the form is also outside!

Xun Huai was originally a Confucian and was not weak in practice, so he recognized it at a glance. I was more satisfied!

There are thousands of clans in the world, and he can look at Fan Bufan at a glance, and one of the most important reasons is that Fan Bufan can be admitted to the examination at the age of a weak crown.

This really adds a lot of points to Fan Bufan. And now, Fan Bufan has entered the country, which means that Fan Bufan's Confucian classics have been read into his heart.

This made him even more overjoyed! There are so many people in the world who read books, how many can enter the country?

What's more important is that the clan is so young? How many of them happened to choose one, which made Xun Huai involuntarily admire his luck.

Today, the martial arts are in power. These people are greedy, lawless, and arrogant. The Son of Heaven should be closer to the Confucian scholars!

Thinking like this, Fan Bufan became more pleasant. (To be continued......) R1292
