In modern times, Tianjin was a well-known city in China, one of the economic centers in the north and an international port city. -- But in ancient times, it was just a wasteland.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the Tianjin Guard appeared here for the first time. It was just a guard city used to garrison troops. Later, the Tianjin Left Guard and the Tianjin Right Guard appeared. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the three guards were unified.
, Tianjin Prefecture appeared, and later Tianjin Prefecture was upgraded to Tianjin Prefecture. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it became a direct
As the governor's residence, Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai and others developed the Westernization Movement here and established the Beiyang Navy, and this place slowly became prosperous. Later, it became a concession for various countries, and like Shanghai, it quickly developed vigorously.
After liberation, it served as the provincial capital of Hebei and later became a municipality directly under the Central Government.
Now, this is just a wasteland, and dozens of miles to the south is the mouth of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty was also very different from modern times. Not only did it form the largest lake in the world, but its mouth was in Tianjin. In later generations, the Yellow River diverted the Huaihe River and entered the sea, and the position of its mouth moved southward.
Wu Dong stepped onto the beach and suddenly felt tears filling his eyes.
He left the Central Plains for many years and finally came back!
When he left the Central Plains, he took Hua Rong and thousands of people to Incheon. At that time, he was just a figure in the world, and his reputation was not mentioned in the world. But now, he has destroyed Goryeo and Liao.
Occupying Hedong and Liaodong, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, he is now a big shot who can determine the future trend of the world.
The future of the Han people is also completely different from that in history. The Jurchens did not invade the south, and it is impossible for the Mongols to invade the south in the future. The Han people will no longer become the fourth class of people inferior to pigs and dogs.
Thinking of many of these things, Wu Dong felt excited. He stood there with a feeling of screaming up to the sky. It took him a long time to calm down a little.
"I haven't returned to the Central Plains for many years, and now I'm finally back. I'm so happy!" Wu Dong turned around and saw everyone's eyes looking strange, and couldn't help but smile.
"Grand Governor, this is not the Central Plains, this is just Yanyun." Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile.
In the traditional sense, the Central Plains refers to the Yellow River Basin and most of the areas south of the Yellow River. In the Song Dynasty or before the Song Dynasty, the Yanyun area was a frontier. It borders the grassland and the Great Wall is also built here. Generally, only soldiers will be stationed here.
Yan Yun, so Ruan Xiaoqi doesn’t think this place belongs to the Central Plains.
"This will also be the Central Plains from now on, and it will be the core of the Central Plains." Wu Dong said with a smile.
Countless naval officers and soldiers have disembarked from the ship, and the thousand young people who followed Wu Dong also disembarked from the ship. Everyone was excited, especially the young people who were shouting over there.
"When we went to Goryeo, did we ever think about today?" Wu Dong sighed with Ruan Xiaoqi beside him.
"That's something I never dreamed of." Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile.
Ruan Xiaoqi was also one of the first people to follow Wu Dong to Goryeo, and he was considered an old man involved in entrepreneurship. He belonged to the navy, and he had been running around at sea over the years, and he had landed in Dengzhou and other places several times, so although he sighed
, but not as excited as Wu Dong.
"The location here is excellent! If we make Yanjing the capital, we can build an acropolis here! In the future, the Yanyun area will be connected with Goryeo and other places, and a port will be needed here! I think your navy can be stationed here
, Let’s build a temporary port first. After arriving in Yanjing, I will arrange to transfer the people here. There are wastelands everywhere, and they can also be planted," Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, this place is too close to the Yellow River. If the Yellow River floods, the port here will be washed away. So we need to think twice about this matter." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
Wu Dong couldn't help but be stunned. Although he knew that the entrance of the Yellow River at this time was different from that of later generations, he never thought of the huge impact that the entrance of the Yellow River had on this place. The construction of the Acropolis was not started until the Ming Dynasty. A very important reason is
It's the Yellow River. During the Ming Dynasty, the mouth of the Yellow River had moved southward, and the flooding of the Yellow River had no impact on Tianjin, so the city could be built.
"I see, it seems we have to find another place to build the port." Wu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Grand Governor, we have sent people to rule Zhu Wu. I think Zhu Wu will come here soon." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
"I will take people to take a look around first. If Zhu Wu comes, let him wait for me here. I will be back soon," Wu Dong said.
At that moment, Wu Dong led Lu Zhishen and hundreds of guards towards the north. Xiao Feifei wanted to go with Wu Dong, but Wu Dong stayed on the boat. Now that they have just arrived here, they don't know what the situation is like here.
, and even if there is no danger, it is better for a woman like Xiao Feifei to stay on the ship.
They went all the way north, and for more than ten miles the road was desolate. Because the Yellow River flooded all year round, although there were large areas of wasteland, there were no people living here at all.
After walking a few miles further north, it was still desolate. Wu Dong and Lu Zhishen felt that this area might not be inhabited. At this moment, a guard suddenly said: "Captain, look quickly!"
Wu Dong looked forward and discovered that there was faint farmland far ahead.
"It seems there is someone here, let's go take a look." Wu Dong said with a smile.
They walked forward for a while, and it turned out that this was farmland, and further on they could vaguely see the existence of a village.
The village in front of them was getting closer and closer, but they still didn't see a single figure. When they were only a mile or two away from the village, they suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
"What happened here?" Lu Zhishen asked in surprise.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Wu Dong said.
They strode into the village with hundreds of guards. When they arrived in the village, the smell of blood was almost everywhere, and the strong smell of blood made everyone frown.
Bang!
A guard had already kicked open a courtyard door, and the other guards rushed in. Wu Dong and Lu Zhishen also broke in.
There was silence in the courtyard, and the guards rushed towards the room again. After a while, several guards shouted, and Wu Dong and Lu Zhishen hurried over.
I saw four corpses lying in the room, one was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and the other three were children. The stomachs of these people had been opened, and blood flowed everywhere. Their faces were in pain, which showed that they suffered from pain when they died.
A lot of torture.
"These are all Khitans!" Lu Zhishen said.
Wu Dong nodded. These people were all wearing traditional Khitan clothes and looked like ordinary Khitan civilians.
"Go and look elsewhere!" Wu Dong said.
There were dozens of guards heading towards the rest of the village, and it took a quarter of an hour for these guards to return one after another.
"Grand Governor, everyone in the village is dead, and there is not a single living person. Whether they are old people or children, they are all dead!" the guard company commander came to Wu Dong's side and reported.
"Can you tell who did it?" Wu Dong frowned.
"I can't tell!" The captain of the guard shook his head.
Many of Wu Dong's guards were selected from outstanding soldiers on the battlefield, especially the company commander who had made numerous military exploits on the battlefield, and later received secret training from the Intelligence Department before serving as Wu Dong's guard.
Work. He has a sharp eye and a quick mind. He can't figure out who did it. It seems that he really can't figure it out.
"Grand Governor, there is a living person over there!" At this moment, another guard ran over and said.
"Oh, let's go and have a look." Wu Dong said.
He led a group of people and followed the guard towards a courtyard at the edge of the village. When he arrived, the courtyard was already surrounded by guards.
Wu Dong entered the yard and saw a woman lying in the corner of the yard. The woman was naked. Wu Dong frowned and said, "Why don't you help her put on clothes?"
The guards nearby were a little unhappy and didn't say anything. They hurriedly notified Wu Dong and quickly surrounded the place without even thinking about the woman's mood. Some guards were already looking for some clothes or sheets or other things that could cover her.
At this moment, Wu Dong had already taken off his robe and put it on the woman's body.
This woman is indeed not dead, but her body is covered with scars, and she has obviously suffered inhuman abuse. There is a numb and dead light in her eyes. Regarding the actions of Wu Dong and the surrounding guards,
She turned a blind eye.
"What happened?" Wu Dong squatted down and asked softly.
The woman seemed not to have heard Wu Dong's question at all, she didn't even move her eyes.
"Grand Governor, she is a Khitan." The company commander of the guard next to her reminded her.
Wu Dong patted his head and said: "I'm confused, come and tell her, tell her our identities, no matter what happens here, we will make the decision for her."
The captain of the guard nodded. He also squatted down and began to speak in Khitan dialect. When the woman heard the word "Liangshan", her eyes suddenly showed an extremely desperate look. She stared at the guard.
The expression on the company commander's face became extremely resentful.
Poison seemed to have some irresolvable hatred with the captain of the guard in front of him. The captain of the guard was startled. Although he knew that the woman in front of him was not aggressive, he still took a step back involuntarily, and Wu Dong next to him also
He couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, blood suddenly flowed from the woman's mouth. The captain of the guard was startled. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's jaw. Only then did he realize that the woman's tongue had been bitten off by her!
"Grand Governor, I...I didn't expect her to do this." The captain of the guard said at a loss.
"It's not your fault! She seems to have done this after hearing the word Liangshan. What happened?" Wu Dong said with a gloomy face.
"Could such an inhumane thing be done by people like me in Liangshan?" Lu Zhishen was much more direct, he said straight away.
"Grand Governor, it seems that these people died not long ago! Let's search around, maybe we can find traces of the gangsters." said the guard company commander.
"Okay! Search immediately! We must find the trace and catch the murderer." Wu Dong gritted his teeth.
