Chapter 315 Longquan City
Longquan Shangjing is the largest city in the northeast of the grassland.
This place is beside Jingpo Lake in the south, surrounded by the remaining veins of Changbai Mountain, and faces water on three sides. It is built on an open alluvial plain. The land is fertile, mainly agriculture and animal husbandry as the secondary. The rice produced is famous in the grassland and is regarded as the best among rice.
The Lord of Longquan, worshipped Ziting, had long wanted to make the Marine tribe independent and build a country. The architects he appointed arranged this city according to the Chang'an pattern, making the city as high as five meters high and built with basalt. It was very strong. It cooperated with the magnificent arrow tower to deal with enemies of all races dominated by cavalry.
If the defects of this city are just due to the regional environment, materials, time and other factors, this city is only one-quarter of the size of Chang'an.
Under the guidance of Funanda, Chu Tianxiu rode a horse into the city, but was also a little surprised to find that the city not only looked like Chang'an in the Central Plains, but the civilians in the Longquan City all had the same clothes, customs, words, culture, and systems as if they were in it. If they were in it, it would almost certainly be Chang'an, which returned to Guanzhong, Central Plains, from the outside of the Great Wall.
"Master, I have heard you say before that the Lord of Longquan Bai Ziting is an extraordinary person. But he did not expect that he could do such a great cause in this place outside the border. I have a little doubt whether it is the right choice for me to support him in Longquan to establish a country."
After Chu Tianxiu looked at the scene of Longquan at a glance, he raised a little vigilant in his heart and smiled half true and half false.
If we look at the ranking of enemy countries established by foreign races outside the Great Wall, the Marine tribe is not considered a great enemy. Its danger is ranked among the Eastern Turks, Western Turks, Goguryeo, Tiel, Tuyuhun, and Uighurs. This country is currently not bordering the land of the Central Plains, and naturally it cannot threaten the security of the Central Plains.
However, Chu Tianxiu's memory told him that the Maruhe tribe today is indeed inconspicuous. Even in history, Dae Jo-young, the son of Bai Ziting, did successfully establish the country and establish a Bohai Kingdom that seemed to be a flash in the pan at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Shortly after its prosperity, it was destroyed by the Khitan hero Yelu Abaoji.
"Let's take a look! With the bad situation in Bohai Country, my move is indeed to be a tiger raising, but if the tiger is not big and is hunted by hunters, it is not a problem to raise a tiger. Even if things are not good, at worst, I will take it myself to eliminate this disaster."
The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people.
Chu Tianxiu thought about it carefully in his own mind and carefully thought about the form of Longquan Kingdom, but he agreed with Fu Nandao's statement and agreed with it.
If the battle for dominance in the world is also divided into ascending the throne, then the Li Tang in history should be considered "more difficult", while the Li Tang in the original plot of the Tang Dynasty can be called "simple", while Chu Tianxiu, who started his business in Jiangdu, is considered "difficult".
It seemed that it was because Fu Nandao had feelings because of the situation. After recalling the time, he showed emotion on his face and said with some emotion.
With this feeling, Chu Tianxiu walked all the way to Chengtian Gate, the population of Longquan City Palace City. A civil servant in his forties went out to greet him. He first gave a big gift to Chu Tianxiu, and then gave a Buddhist gift to Fu Nandao before introducing himself:
"Although the timeless Bai Ziting was not available, he was indeed a hero of the times. It is said that he stayed in Chang'an for a long time several years before the death of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, after returning to the Bohai Sea, he imitated the Sui Dynasty everywhere. It took him nearly ten years to build this Longquan City here. It was because of his talent and ambition that I was willing to help him with his help."
After the Bohai Kingdom destroyed the country, the Marine tribe was divided into various parts, but this tribe also had descendants to inherit it, that is, the Jurchen tribe who first destroyed the Great Liao and then the Great Song Dynasty, and had been rampant in the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, which brought the greatest humiliation history to the Central Plains.
From a completely convenient perspective, even though Jiangyin City can be regarded as a fortress in the south, it is not a perfect place to start.
Chu Tianxiu did start his career in Jiangyin, but that was because Chu Tianxiu needed to rely on the power of the Zhuhua Gang to accumulate his first pot of gold for himself.
The Bohai Kingdom is actually located between the two countries of Turks and Goguryeo, and it was originally an "buffer zone" between these two countries.
In comparison, it is really a "nightmare" to establish a country in Longquan.
If Chu Tianxiu had not taken a different approach, he had started to occupy overseas land from the beginning, and used this as the foundation, and then used his foresight to go to Jiangdu first and then Luoyang, and then he gained a firm foothold and almost settled down.
If the Bohai Kingdom does not establish a country, it will be fine, and then it will be successfully established, and it will inevitably usher in the crazy strangle of the Eastern Turks. Even after learning the news here, the Eastern Turks may temporarily give up the issue of the Central Plains because of this. Now let's talk about the fired backyard.
This Kesube was a well-known official and had a good appearance. Although he was in a civil servant, his body shape and demeanor, his temples were bulging high on both sides. He was sure to be a first-class martial arts master. He looked like a character. Chu Tianxiu also noticed that this Kesubebe was an authentic Martial Artsman, but his polite attitude was not much different from those of the civil and military ministers in Jiangdu. From this point alone, it can be seen that the Bohai Kingdom had indeed learned to the core of learning from the Sui Dynasty.
"The right chief of the Bohai Kingdom has been farewell to welcome His Majesty the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our Lord has been waiting for a long time."
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen.
At this time, the scholar Chu Tian suddenly realized that he originally thought that the complete integration of Central Plains culture and grassland people began from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but in essence, the integration of Hu Feng and Chineseization actually started in an extremely bloody way as early as the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. However, because of the special national conditions of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this integration reached its peak.
Such complicated thoughts only flashed through Chu Tianxiu's heart, and did not show any signs on his face. He showed a calm expression on his face, nodding and said:
"Since that's the case, there are some helpless guests."
Ke Subie didn't dare to do anything, but led the way straight ahead, causing Chu Tianxiu to walk into Longquan's palace with a swagger. What surprised Chu Tianxiu was that after he arrived at Baiziting's bedroom, he had not seen Baiziting himself yet, but heard a singing voice like heaven.
