Chapter 733

"That's good. We must build this city as quickly as possible. In this way, we can form a horn with the Baishi City, and there is also the side of the old Yanzhou City. At that time, if Xixia wants to invade this Yanzhou, he must carefully consider whether he has the ability to take down this unprecedented city."

"I said, brother, if we do this, will this place be another city of Tong Wan?" Zhe Keshi hesitated for a long time, and when the two of them slowly approached the cavalry under them towards the busy construction site, they approached Wang Yang's ear and whispered.

"Tongwancheng..." Wang Yang glanced at Zhe Keshi and understood what this guy was worried about.

The origin of Tongwancheng was at the end of the Han Dynasty. Helian Bobo of the Tiefu tribe of the Xiongnu clan established the Daxia Kingdom with Xiazhou as the base. According to the "Book of Wei·Biography of Tiefu Liuhu" and "Book of Jin·Records of Helian Bobo", in 413 AD, Helian Bobo used Chigan Ali as the general as a master craftsman, and 100,000 Yixia people in the north of the Shuofang River to build a capital city south of the Hei River, which was called "Tongwan".

Bobo said to himself: "I am the only one who unified the world and ruled all nations. I can be the name of ten thousand." "Ali is very skillful, but he is cruel and violent. He steams the soil to build a city, and then kills the author and builds it."

The construction of Tongwan City took six years. After the completion of Tongwan City, a secretary-general Hu Yizhou wrote a complimentary article. The complimentary article said that the built Tongwan City was "high o'clock in the sky, the clouds of the sky, the stones and the sky pools of the sky, and the vast mountain ranges of thousands of miles". In the city, "Hualin Lingzang, the secret room of Chongtai, the main room, the main hall, the main hall, the road garden, and the road garden."

At this time, Tongwancheng reflected the importance of Tongwancheng in terms of scale, layout and construction methods. During this period, Tongwancheng achieved unprecedented prosperity.

By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in the fourth year of Shiguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Wei army conquered Tongwancheng, and in the 431st AD, Wei destroyed Daxia. In the 433rd AD, Tongwanzhen was established, and because of its abundant water and grass, it was used as pasture land.

In the 487th year of AD, Xiazhou was established, and Tongwancheng was the capital of Xiazhou. According to the "Shuijing Notes", Tongwancheng at this time "has a long time, but the walls are as high as new." This shows that the city is still quite complete.

During the Sui Dynasty, Tongwancheng was under the jurisdiction of Shuofang County and was the capital of Shuofang County. In the 13th year of Daye, the general Liang Shidu of Shuofang County rebelled and was called emperor according to Tongwancheng, and the country was named Liang, and the country was named Liang, and the year of Jianyuan Yonglong.

In the second year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army pacified the Liang Shidu, and regained the land into Xiazhou and unified Wancheng as the capital of Xiazhou. In the first year of Tianbao, Xiazhou was changed to Shuofang County, and in the first year of Qianyuan, it was regained the Xiazhou.

By the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Xiazhou was divided into Li clans of the Dangxiang clan, and there were wars during this period, but Tongwancheng still occupied a very important position in military and transportation.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tongwancheng was occupied by the people of Xixia and stolen Xiazhou. Later, Song and Xixia captured each other. In the fifth year of Chunhua, the Song army captured Xiazhou, and Emperor Taizong of Song ordered the people to be moved to destroy the city. The city walls of Tongwanchengtoudao City (i.e. Waigucheng) were destroyed and destroyed at this time.

But after that, after Xixia regained its territory back to Xiazhou, although its outer city was not restored, it was still regarded as an extremely important military center.

"A city that was unified in ten thousand years has been occupied by foreign races for nearly 600 years. It was destroyed by Emperor Taizong, but it has been in the hands of the Western Xia."

"With my talent, I know that you can definitely build a city that is not inferior to that of the Tongwan City, but if it is..."

"I can understand that you have such concerns, but you should also understand why Tongwancheng was in the hands of alien races? It was just when the Central Plains were in chaos, and those alien races had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Now our Song Dynasty has been prosperous for a hundred years, and its prosperity is so strong that it is so prosperous. The population of our Song Dynasty is several times that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. As long as we can migrate here, a large number of Han people can rest and reproduce here, as long as we can ensure the stability of trade and production and life in these three states, the population will be more and more."

"At that time, I'm afraid that those aliens will not only put down their arrows and honestly bring cattle and sheep to exchange supplies, will they dare to use rash weapons?"

"What's more, I built this city not to defend, but to move forward."

After hearing Wang Yang's words, Zhe Keshi nodded and smiled. "My brother, your vision and foresight are naturally trustworthy."

"I really hope that I can restore the old land of the Han and Tang dynasties earlier. I, the Song Dynasty, don't always feel so frustrated. A small Western Xia has left me helpless for a hundred years."

"Why can't I restore all the old lands of the Han and Tang dynasties? Do you know the reason?" Hearing Zhe Keshi mentioned this, Wang Yang rode his horse and continued to walk forward slowly, speaking as he spoke.

"Why is this?" Zhe Keshi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his tone a little unhappy. He said this. He thought that this guy was accusing the Song Dynasty of the army being not strong. What's the point of being not strong? It was clearly because of the literati in the Song Dynasty. The policy of literati in charge of the army leading to the current situation?

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yang has always been very powerful and has always had a very friendly relationship with the military, Zhe Keshi then forced himself to resist and did not give him a look directly, but instead he was patient and wanted to ask what was going on.

"In fact, it's very simple. Now that the Song Dynasty has been promoted for a hundred years, it lacks not only the enterprising spirit, not only the bloodiness, but also the cavalry with powerful motors, and one thing that is that it is unwilling to face our enemies with a serious attitude." Wang Yang slowly expressed his thoughts.

Zhe Keshi smashed his mouth with a little annoyed pain. "What do you mean by saying this means not to face the enemy with a serious attitude?" What does this guy mean?

"When did I have the mentality of the Song Dynasty when I deal with the Northern Liao Dynasty? What kind of mentality of the Song Dynasty when I deal with the Western Xia Dynasty? Do you understand?" Wang Yang simply stopped his horse and asked at Zhe Keshi.

After a little pondering, Zhe Keshi gave his own answer. "The national strength of the Northern Liao Dynasty is similar to that of our Song Dynasty. As for the Western Xia Dynasty, with the Western Army of our Song Dynasty, we can resist it with all our strength."

"Then I would like to ask my brother, is my Song really aware of the national strength of the Northern Liao Dynasty today? How much do you know about the deployment of the Liao Dynasty's troops, weapons and equipment, do you know the traffic roads and grain reserves in the places where the Northern Liao Dynasty is located? Do you know whether the local people are satisfied with the rule of the Northern Liao..."

The continuous problems were so rapid that they smashed the talented general, Zhe Keshi, who claimed to be a famous general, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Seeing Wang Yang's seemingly calm face, he could only say with a hard forehead. "Brother Yu really doesn't know much about the situation in Bei Liao..."

"Okay, you need to say nothing. In fact, for the current Xixia, Zhe only knows what he has been exposed to, and other things like people's livelihood, transportation, and grain reserves."

Wang Yang turned his eyes to the river with waves, and said leisurely. "Only by knowing one's own knowledge can you win every battle. In my Song Dynasty, those civil servants had too high vision and thought that they could win a thousand miles away by reading a few military books.

And military generals like Keshi, you, are only willing to protect their own land because of the imbalance between civil and military affairs. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to achieve success in the Great Song Dynasty."
