Chapter 514 Zhang Yangquan’s plan to establish the capital
After nightfall, Hu Weiyong packed up his salutes, took a few sergeants with him, said goodbye to Li Shanchang, and arrived at Tongguan Pass.
When he walked out of the door, a young general suddenly came over and saluted him: "Shilang Hu!"
Hu Weiyong glanced at the young man, returned his hand and said, "Does the young general know Mr. Hu?"
The young man was young, but he knew etiquette very well. When Hu Weiyong handed over his hand, he hurriedly bowed.
After the other party finished saluting, he straightened up and said, "My boy Wang Zhenwei, I once attended Li Shangshu's tail-burning banquet with my father and met Mr. Hu!"
"Who is your father?"
"My father is Wang Da!"
Hu Weiyong smiled and said: "It turns out that he is the son of the Marquis of Zhenjiang. It turns out that he has a tiger father and no dog son!"
Wang Zhenwei said: "You are overly complimentary!"
Hu Weiyong was in a hurry, so he drove his horse away from the pass without saying anything to Wang Zhenwei.
Wang Zhenwei's face sank and he said: "Lanyu, who allows you to touch my things?"
Before leaving the customs, the small land seemed to turn yellow.
Li Shanchang said: "The Hexi area was assigned to a group of Mongolian tribes by the Yuan Dynasty. We were originally princes and nobles of the Chagatai Khanate, and we only came to join the Yuan Dynasty."
Therefore, there is almost no moment of peace and tranquility in the Guanzhong area, and the people's lives are miserable.
Chang'an City was rebuilt on the ruins of the inner city, so few place names follow the Tang Dynasty title.
Zhang Yuanqiong thought for a while and said, "Zhang Yuanqiong doesn't have many troops yet. Does he know?"
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said secretly: "Which tribe should be the first in the Ming Dynasty's Kansai Guards!"
During the Tang Dynasty, the inner city of Chang'an City consisted of Taiji Palace, Xiaoming Palace and the Imperial City.
At dusk, the setting sun is as bright as blood, and the small land looks even more desolate. In the nearby mountain col, smoke can be faintly seen.
During the Ming Dynasty, the court used the method of restraint to win over the Mongols. As a result, those Mongols often followed orders and even killed the envoys or plundered the population.
Li Siqi said proudly: "You are afraid of him when comparing spear skills!"
I have decided to designate Chang'an City as the Western Capital!
How many people from Chang'an City were surrounded at the city gate.
Now that Chang'an has just welcomed Master Wang, the new emperor has come in person, making us feel even more proud!
The two trade routes both represent the exploration of that world. If civilization wants to maintain its vitality, it must continue to explore inwardly!
Before entering the city, both Hu Wei and Li Siqi finished accepting Zhang Liangbi's army. Each of them received 2,000 people and reorganized them into their own troops.
Zhang Yangquan thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about this before."
Unfortunately, early the next morning, the seven of them received military orders and followed Liang Rong to lead the troops to retreat from Chang'an.
By the time Liang Rong stabilized the situation in Chang'an, it was already mid-November.
Inside the city gate, Liang Rong was already waiting with Hu Wei, Li Siqi and other generals.
Zhang Yangquan asked again: "What is the situation in the Hexi Corridor now?"
When Liu Bowen and Zhang Liangbi formed the anti-Wang Baobao alliance, they didn't make an alliance and swear an oath in that small hall!
As soon as he entered the camp, he saw a young man sitting behind his account, holding a book in his hand and reading with gusto.
Hu Wei said in a deep voice: "If you are wrong, that army will become the main force in the Guanzhong battlefield. Does he want to continue to stay in the hands of General Liang Rong and do something useful, or does he want to transfer to Longtan Guard to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service?"<
/p>
Before the Red Turban Uprising, Li Wu's Western Route Army invaded Guanzhong. Before that, seven small warlords rose up and fought with each other, causing a small number of people to flee.
Zhang Yangquan’s temporary residence is also arranged in Hanyuan Hall.
Zhang Yangquan saw the expressions of the people, and the disappointment in his heart quickly disappeared, and asked: "Is that Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty? Or is the old city destroyed and is that a newly built city?"
Li Shanchang said: "Among the tribes in Hexi, none of the Mongolian tribes is the weakest. They are all hereditary kings, and the total number is less than 700,000 troops!"
Another 80,000 surrendered troops were transferred to Nanyang and incorporated into Zhu Ba's Xiangyang Army.
I changed my clothes and ordered people to call Li Shanchang and Lan Yuxiao to the front hall to learn about the situation of the Yuan Dynasty's foreign trade.
Wang Zhenwei said: "His eldest son is quite cautious. Liu Bowen's main force has been wiped out, and now there are only 870,000 troops left, and his fighting spirit is high!"
"That's wrong! If Your Majesty lets Longtan Village attack Liu Bowen, and if Longtan Guard still has a general, if we act slowly, we might be able to seize the opportunity to lead the army!"
Hu Wei put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Are you here to beg him, just to share a bad thing with him because he doesn't have any skills?"
Zhang Yangquan was shocked and said: "The Yuan Dynasty didn't have such a force, so why was it never used?"
Zhang Yuanqiong pointed at the camp gate and said angrily: "Get out of here!"
Zhang Yangquan then followed Longtan Wei and left Tongguan and came to Chang'an City.
Li Siqi crossed his arms and hummed: "Young man Lan, who has an enemy in the sky, wants to discuss something with you?"
Li Siqi's eyes lit up and he said: "Bad, go with him tomorrow to ask for orders from His Majesty!"
Lan Yu smiled and said: "Little Fatty Wang, how old are you? You have read military books like the adults. Do you understand the things in this?"
The most unknown among them is naturally the ruins of Hanyuan Hall!
Jiangdu Prefecture was designated as the Eastern Capital, committed to developing undersea trade and establishing an undersea Silk Road.
When the Yuan Dynasty took control of Tianshang, they hoped to use Guanzhong as a grazing land, so Guanzhong did not develop.
Hu Weidao said: "Tomorrow you go to your Majesty together and ask for orders to attack Liu Bowen! You are alone and alone. If he goes together, your Majesty may agree!"
"Does he know Longtanwei?"
Lan Yu let out a laugh, put the military book on the table, and said: "I'm not interested in meddling in your affairs, but I just want to discuss something with him!"
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "Those eight khanates all submitted to the Yuan Dynasty, so the trade of the Yuan Dynasty should be very prosperous?"
Zhang Yangquan nodded.
"But you are still just partial generals!"
Before Xiaojun entered the city, his vision changed!
Li Shanchang had been an official in the Yuan Dynasty, so he knew them well.
Li Siqi's eyes flashed brightly and he said: "Of course I will transfer to Longtan Guard! But can you decide that matter?"
No wonder that before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the Guanzhong area became even more lonely. After hundreds of years of changes, it is difficult to see the afterglow of the Han and Tang Dynasties outside!
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong has experienced many catastrophes.
We are just like that city, our bodies seem to be dyed with a layer of yellow, our faces are sallow and our muscles are thin, our nutrition is poor, but we all look very happy and proud!
Now that Zhang Yangquan's Northern Expedition was much earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang's, and his strength was much weaker, he naturally had to compromise with those people.
"How to withdraw?"
Lan Yu smiled and said: "It turned out to be a mistake."
Zhang Yangquan said: "So because the population of the Western Region has declined sharply, business activities have also increased?"
Hu Weidao said: "The general can also lead 8,000 men. We each have 8,000 cavalry and muskets. Is he confident in taking down Zhang Yuanqiong?"
Although Chang'an City is unimaginably majestic, the streets and buildings in the city are very stingy.
Lan Yuxiao observed the words and said: "If your Majesty wants to make Chang'an the capital, I can't send someone to find the blueprints and renovate it again!"
"Why is that?"
In our hearts, we only recognize the rulers of the Han Dynasty.
Before getting closer, Zhang Yangquan realized that the city was short and big, and the city towers were even bigger than Xialantian. It was completely different from the Chang'an City in my mind!
Business travelers would rather take a detour from Helin to the Western Regions than retreat to the Guanzhong area.
Li Siqi said angrily: "Who told him to always be with Han Lin'er!"
Li Shanchang said: "Just because the Mongols were cruel and murderous when they expanded their territory, the citizens of many big countries were slaughtered, and the population of other countries was reduced to 10 to 40."
Zhang Yuanqiong said: "Back to Your Majesty, the current Chang'an City is only rebuilt on the ruins of the original inner city of Chang'an City. The inner city has long been destroyed in the flames of war!"
Lan Yu smiled and coughed, then interjected: "That's strange. You heard that the Mongols once planned to kill all the Han people and turn the Central Plains into our pasture!"
It seems that the people have all left there, and some people have hid in the more remote mountains to avoid the war.
"Back to Your Majesty, during the Han and Tang dynasties, trade with the Western Regions had to pass through very few small and large countries and was easily hindered. However, the Mongols wiped out all the major countries in the Western Regions and integrated them into the Chagatai Khanate, Ilkhahanate and Kipchak Khanate.
Eight countries!"
Zhang Yangquan was stunned for a moment and said: "Are we weak?"
Zhang Yuanqiong smiled and said: "Is he very rude to others? Why is he so hostile to you?"
"Of course I know, the guards your Majesty brought from Jiangdu Mansion!"
Wang Zhenwei blushed and said angrily: "Don't call me Wang Xiaopang! What does it have to do with you whether I can read or not?"
Zhang Yangquan walked westward along the loess and sandy land. Along the way, he almost saw a deserted village, and he sighed secretly.
"Yes, although there was no obstacle to trade in the Yuan Dynasty, it was far worse than during the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
Li Shanchang smiled and said: "Your Majesty must be worried that those people are nominally affiliated with the Yuan Dynasty, but in fact they are their own power, equivalent to an independent kingdom, and they are the first to give orders to the Yuan Dynasty!"
Chang'an City has been the capital of several dynasties for generations. No matter how long it takes, the people of Chang'an will never forget that glory.
"You have heard that there are only two conditions for retreating to the Longtan Guard. The first is bad riding skills, and the seventh is bad spear skills. His riding skills are bad, and you know that his father has been secretly helping him train his spear skills!"<
/p>
The predecessors rebuilt a new palace under the ruins, also called Hanyuan Hall.
Once the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao area are recaptured, the Silk Road will be re-opened to connect east-west trade.
Hu Wei laughed and said: "Sure enough, he is still a big kid with hair all the way up!"
Wang Zhenwei rode to the camp. He is now a partial general and has his own separate tent in the camp.
Zhang Yuanqiong said blankly: "What bad thing?"
It’s no wonder, no matter how dilapidated Chang’an City is, it may still be so big. It turns out that only the inner city has been rebuilt!
Li Siqi hesitated and said: "That way we can retreat the Longtan Guards?"
Wang Zhenwei said: "I didn't know who was weak and who was strong before. Now we have to retreat to Longtan Guard!"
After Wang Baobao is dealt with, we will take action against these people to recapture the Hexi Corridor and reopen the Silk Road!
A city suddenly appeared on the horizon behind. The earth-yellow inner city wall almost blended into the ground.
