Haidongqing was flying freely, flying over hills, crossing forests, crossing a lake, and appeared above the majestic city.
Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, Bohai Kingdom.
The Bohai Kingdom has existed for 200 years, and Shangjing has been the capital for more than 140 years, making it the most majestic city outside Linyu Pass.
Yes, even though Daxia carried out large-scale construction projects in Andong Prefecture, Yingzhou and other places, there was still no city as majestic, magnificent and rich as Shangjing.
The outer city is more than ten miles away, already beyond Bianzhou in the Central Plains, and almost the same as Yangzhou.
Generally speaking, a city of two to ten miles is the size of a normal state city. The city of Longquan Prefecture is more than ten miles to three, making it a second-tier city in the Central Plains after Chang'an and Luoyang.
The imperial city has a circumference of six miles, which is equivalent to the size of a county in the Central Plains. As a purely office location, the Imperial City of Shangjing gathers almost all the government offices of the Bohai Kingdom, with cornices, corridors and painted buildings, which is magnificent and majestic.
The Miyagi Castle is more than enough for a Friday, and including the gardens and liquid ponds of almost the same size, this Miyagi Castle can be considered a bit high-end. It is not the palace of King Sotou. Most of the ordinary separatist regimes are not as good as the Imperial Palace.
.
Bohai Country’s two hundred years of accumulation and heritage are so terrifying!
On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, the lord of Bohai Kingdom, Dacheng, sent Queen Gao to Beiyuan for an outing, accompanied by a large number of civil and military officials.
The Xia people were advancing in large numbers, the war was extremely tense, and bad news came every day. Da Benzhuan was also very depressed, so he went out of the city to relax.
Like Chang'an, Shangjing also liked to build some forbidden gardens outside the city as a place for the royal family to enjoy and hunt.
Beiyuan "rests on the Huhan River (Mudanjiang) in the north, reaches the Royal City in the south, borders Dachuan (Mudanjiang) in the west, and extends to the Malian River in the east."
In fact, it is the transition zone between Mudanjiang and Shangjing City, with open terrain, close to mountains and rivers, and beautiful scenery. The kings of the Bohai Kingdom rode their horses here for hunting, and used their sticks to shoot bows. At the same time, it was also an important station for the Bohai Forbidden Army.
Considering that the Bohai people once went to Chang'an to inspect, draw a blueprint, and then build their own capital according to the gourd's plan. So once Beiyuan is established, the entire Xiyuan must be developed like Chang'an.
In fact there is.
From the west of Shangjing City to the Mudanjiang River, there is a flat land, seven or eight miles from east to west, and more than ten miles from north to south, with diverse landforms.
According to the textual research of scholars who exiled Ninggu Pagoda in the Qing Dynasty, the southern edge of Xiyuan is a low mountainous area, connected to Beiyuan in the north, and in the middle is a large area of forest, pasture, and wetland, with occasional "stone moraine areas" as embellishments. Bohai people will
It was transformed into a barracks, which was actually the acropolis to the west of Beijing, at an angle to the capital, and where the imperial troops were stationed for defense.
On the western edge of this area, there is a stone bridge connecting the small island in the river. There are pavilions and pavilions on the island, which are elegantly decorated and magnificent.
The leader of the Bohai Kingdom would sometimes stay on a small island and listen to the roar of the river and the sounds of birds and beasts at night. Sometimes he would also have a banquet here with his officials, leaving behind many poems.
After all, Bohai is a country as civilized as Goguryeo, not a barbarian.
They created a new world outside the traditional Han land in the Northeast - generally speaking, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Han people have mainly been active in the southern half of Liaoning, the northern half of Liaoning and Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, rarely setting foot in it, and are regarded as barbarians.
a splendid civilization.
In terms of the level of literature, agriculture, iron smelting, and construction, it may have reached a phased peak in the millennium from the Liao to the Qing Dynasty. At least, after the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, I have not heard of many people in this area.
Reciting poems, painting, and studying calligraphy articles.
Today, Dazhen lost interest in reciting poems and painting. Looking at the lush woods and the garden where wild bees were flying, his face was full of sinisterness, looking angry, angry and helpless.
Queen Gao opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but finally sighed and said nothing.
The members of the Bohai clan headed by Pei Zhuan looked around and whispered.
The Bohai Kingdom is actually a typical clan politics. There are twenty-eight surnames in the country, headed by the Da clan.
In addition to the Da family, there are also "right surnames" such as the Gao family, Zhang family, Yang family, Dou family, Wushi family, and Li family, all of which are among the top families in the country.
The Gao family is a descendant of Goguryeo, and most of the rest are Han surnames given by Sumo Mohe people.
After the demise of Bohai, civilization made great strides in regression, and the surnames of these prominent Bohai families underwent another evolution.
For example, the Zhang family gradually evolved into the "Zhangjia family", the Yang family became the "Yangjia family", the Wuzha family became the "Wuzala family", the Li family became the "Li Jia family", etc.
In addition to the "right surname", there are also second-class surnames, such as He, Pei, Cui, Shen, Xin, Wen, etc. Most of them are Han people, some are Goguryeo people, but now they are all Bohai people.
.
The attitude of the nobles is actually very subtle, which is what troubles the leader of the Bohai Kingdom.
According to his thinking, "I am not the king of the subjugated country", these clans and clans are all the "ministers of the subjugated country", which makes it difficult for him to cheer up.
"The war is urgent and changes occur every day. The Xia people have surrounded Dongmu Mountain and Aodong City. Do you have any good ideas?" Dazhenzhuan had already taken the bow stick in his hand and threw it to the eunuch. He asked with a frown.
.
The officials looked at each other, looking at each other.
Dazhen's face flashed with green energy, and his fists were clenched subconsciously.
He has just turned 20 this year, which is the age when he refuses to admit defeat. In his opinion, the DPRK and China need to be reorganized and kill a few more people, so that these powerful people will feel afraid and can do things honestly.
Putting Prime Minister Wu Zhengdu in jail has always been his favorite thing. Otherwise, how could his ministers be so obedient?
Uncle Wang Shuxian was also put under house arrest by him.
The people of Goulianxia wanted to follow the old example of Damenyi. He was so mad that killing him was not an exaggeration. In fact, Dazhuan already had the urge to kill him.
Not only did he want to kill Dashuxian, but he also wanted to kill Wu Zhidu as well.
But he hasn't made up his mind yet. The involvement is too great, and maybe everything will collapse and everyone will betray their relatives. But the murderous intention keeps surging in his chest, and he can't suppress it no matter what.
"Your Majesty, I invite you to hunt in the north." Seeing that there was no word for a long time, Pei Zhuo had no choice but to stand up.
"Bei Shou..." Dazhuan punched the horse beside him.
The horse was in pain and the man stood up. Without even looking at it, he asked angrily: "Where can I go?"
"Dongping Prefecture is thousands of miles away with fertile fields and well-trained soldiers, so it can be a long-term solution." Pei Zhuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The morale of the defenders in Dongmou and Aodong cities is low, and they may not be able to hold on for long. Once they fail, the rebel army will be in trouble."
"The Xia people are advancing in many directions, so it is really difficult to defend against them."
"Fuyu Road is the main force. As long as Aodong City is defended, there is still a chance for a turnaround."
"Xia Thief Luoyan's army is advancing eastward from the Miaojie Mansion. Although it is a partial force, can it be stopped? As for Aodong City, I think it will be gone in a few days."
"The Xia bandits are very sharp, so it's better to avoid them."
After Pei Zhuan spoke, other people also joined in, talking all over the place, but it was obvious that they were all useless nonsense. Moreover, both inside and outside their words were supporting running away, which made Dazhuan even more unbearable.
"That's enough!" Dazhen roared angrily.
Queen Gao held his hand tightly and wept silently.
In fact, most of the five capitals and fifteen prefectures of the Bohai Sea are still in their own hands. How come they are about to be killed by Wang Jing?
If we really want to talk about it, it is still a problem last year, and can even be traced back to the war with the Khitan a few years ago.
After the Miaojie Prefecture, Fuyu Prefecture, and Shuzhou were captured by the Khitan, Zhongjing and Shangjing were already exposed to the enemy's attack.
When the Khitans were defeated by the Xia people last year, the whole country was really jubilant. Everyone thought they could regain the lost territory and defend the entire western front.
But reality gave them a blow. The Xia people brazenly sent out troops to compete with the Bohai Forbidden Army for the Jie Prefecture and Shuzhou. They fought fiercely. This dispute directly led to the war between the two countries. Subsequently, Changling Prefecture fell.
, many prefectures and counties in Yalu Prefecture, Xijing were also occupied by the Xia people. If it hadn't been for the coming of winter and heavy snowfall, the Xia people would never have stopped.
The fall of Shuzhou in Miaojie Prefecture was very fatal, really very fatal! Even a woman like Gao could see it: after more than half a year of adjustments in winter and spring, the Xia troops were divided into three groups, with the main force in the group.
Come directly from the royal capital.
Once they capture Aodong City, they can basically reach Aodong City, which is under Wangjing City, located southeast of Dunhua City in later generations, and was the early capital of the Bohai Kingdom.
Thirty miles west of Aodong City, there is also Dongmu Mountain City, located more than 20 miles southwest of Dunhua City. It was built by Da Zuorong and also served as the capital of the Bohai Sea. It is located on a lonely mountain.
Both cities are in the Goguryeo style, built with quarried stone, and are very solid. There is water, food and grass in the city, and there is no risk of being besieged. In theory, it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
But will the people in the city be able to do it? No one can guarantee it.
"Bohai Kingdom has been in Zuo for 210 years." Dazhuan looked at the vibrant Beiyuan and said: "What a good land. If you sow a handful of seeds in spring, one acre of land can harvest one dendrobium and seven or eight dou in autumn.
, more than the harvest of Xia Kingdom..."
The ministers listened silently, while Pei Zhuan looked at the king worriedly.
The king has grown up in the hands of women in the palace. He has lived in luxury since he was a child. He has never suffered hardship or fought in a war. Does he know what kind of crisis he is facing now? Don't do anything unreasonable...
"It's ridiculous to say that." Dazhuan suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and said: "Yalu Mansion in Xijing is still fighting with the Xia thieves, Xiande Mansion in Zhongjing is waiting for help, Tokyo, Nanjing, Shuibin Mansion, Tieli Mansion,
King Qin's troops from Anbian Prefecture and other places have gathered in sequence. The Five Capitals are still there, why do the ministers think they cannot defend them?"
"The Five Capitals are still here!" At this point, Dazhuan looked a little angry and questioned the officials with his sword in hand.
The ministers fled in a hurry, fearing that they would be stabbed to death by the king's sword.
"Your Majesty..." A green-robed official hurriedly ran from a distance, panting.
"What's the matter?" Dazhen turned around and looked at him.
The junior official saw the sword in the king's hand, and his heart suddenly trembled, but he still forced himself to report: "Huaiyuan and Anyuan Prefectures have come to report that the natives under the jurisdiction of the Blackwater Governor's Prefecture have gathered troops and horses, and they seem to be going south.
.And there are envoys traveling over the mountains and ridges, sneaking into the northern prefectures, and instigating various tribes to rebel."
As soon as these words came out, the officials of Bohai who were taking refuge were also shocked.
They were planning to recruit Blackwater Mohe to defend themselves against the enemy, but you told me that they rebelled?
"Poof!" Dazhuan stabbed the green-robed official to death with a sword.
"Get all the Twelve Princesses and crown robes." Dazhuan drew out his sword, slapped it on the ground, and said, "I, the emperor, will fight in person."
"Your Majesty, no!" everyone exclaimed.
Queen Gao hugged Dazhen's thigh tightly and cried: "Your Majesty, it's not yet time to do anything. There are still soldiers in Huaiyuan and Anyuan Mansion, so there will be no problem in a short time. Aodong City is not that easy either.
Being conquered, why is it like this!"
The queen was also anxious and cried so hard that I felt pity for her.
The determined expression on Dazhen's face softened a little.
He looked at the civil and military officials again, and when he saw that everyone was trying to persuade him, he sighed.
In fact, just now he was furious and passionate. Being interrupted by everyone, he felt that it was not that simple for the imperial commander to go on a personal expedition. Moreover, what if someone released Dashuxian after he left?
Thinking of this section, he immediately got off the hill and did not mention the personal expedition. At the same time, his expression was uncertain, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the blood-stained sword.
