Chapter 328 Entering Hangzhou
.∷Shuha Novels: Novels∷
When Armslang was eliminated, Bian Yuanheng's navy was approaching the city wall. Their artillery fire was ready to collapse the city wall of Hangzhou City to prepare for the troops' attack. In the imperial city, a temple, hall, building, pavilion, as well as a number of palaces and imperial gardens were built. The outer city spans Wushan in the south, the Wulin in the north, the West Lake in the right, and the Qiantang River in the left, which was magnificent. There were 13 cities, and there was a moat outside the city.
After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was destroyed by war, but the tall imperial city remained, symbolizing that the supreme hall was still in Hangzhou City.
There are many markets outside Hangzhou city, mainly grain, vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, etc. Similar to the market, another entertainment area is formed along the coast of West Lake. Since ancient times, West Lake has beautiful scenery, towers and towers are lined with lakes, gardens are fighting for wonders, and there are many temples. In history, countless literati and tourists stopped here and lingered.
The provincial capital is located here, and the official residence of Dashitemuer is set up in the imperial city and has always been envied by the left ministers of other provinces.
Last time, Hangzhou City was captured by Xu Shouhui's army, and the inner city was damaged. Some places were set on fire, but it was still the most luxurious place.
When it was the first time I entered the city, the rebels seemed to be a first time in the city, and they felt that they could not see it either way.
The prosperity of Hangzhou City is far beyond their imagination.
What made them even happier was that many ordinary people in the city stood on both sides of the road and welcomed their arrival in the middle of the road.
Although Hangzhou is rich, it is limited to those powerful people. The Tartars bully the people of Hangzhou, and even more so in other cities, even ordinary wealthy families have to do a good job of being occupied by the Tartars at all times. The Tartars do not regard the people in these places as humans.
There are many taxes and the people hate the Tartars very much.
The Red Turban Army that came to the city last time was a disciplined army. They did not oppress the people, nor did they plunder the villagers. The people had a good impression of the uprising army.
The army that came in this time had strong combat power. Before the siege was launched, the defenders surrendered and eliminated the disasters in the city: the new affiliated army who helped the evildoer was full of favor for this army. The army that entered the first did not disturb the people and made the people feel very safe. As a result, they spontaneously went to the streets to welcome this righteous army.
Judging from this situation, the guards increased their efforts to guard Zhang Yang. After all, they were still unstable after occupying the place, especially the Miao people who were good at using poison. If they were here, they would be in danger.
Zhang Yang was not moved by these scenes. What he valued more was the historical significance of occupying this ancient city.
This means that he has controlled the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province and has captured most of the senior officials in the province. How should he deal with them?
Also, there are so many scholars in Jiangnan that they can use them for their own use, which is of great benefit. After all, they are all rude and few literati. Most of the scholars in Jiangnan are landlords, so are they still using Xinghua methods to deal with them?
The people now welcome themselves, and they have to ensure that in one year or two, five or ten years, the people are still sincerely welcome and support themselves, so that they can take root here.
What reassured Zhang Yang was that his troops were already a disciplined army. Although they were surprised by the prosperity of Hangzhou City, they did not take action to rob. Zhang Yang always rectified the Dharma on the spot for such embarrassment.
The former imperial city was already under the full control of Bian Yuanheng. Bian Yuanheng welcomed his elder brother outside the imperial city.
The proud sailor, holding a Tianque gun, stood around.
Seeing this as the former imperial city, Bian Yuanheng was moved. This was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Now that it occupied it, it had dragon energy. Why is the eldest brother still calm? It's time to become emperor.
Even a person like Han Liner can be called emperor, why can't the elder brother? I have persuaded my elder brother several times, but there is no result. This time, I must persuade him to do so.
"Brother" From a distance, the person riding the horse was his elder brother, surrounded by a group of people.
"Yuanheng, thank you for your hard work this time," said Zhang Yang.
"No, no, no, we have to do it. Before we start the attack, the Tartars surrendered. It's really not enough." Bian Yuanheng said: "The Tartar officials have been arrested, and their families and treasury have been controlled and are being searched. This time, it is estimated that millions of taels of silver can be collected."
The bigger the goal, the more you gain. This is an unchanging truth. However, there will be many places where you use money. Zhang Yang will have a headache when he thinks about it. The navy is a money-burning army. It is time to build professional warships for them. They can not only sail inland, but also sail in the sea.
And his own army, plus the 20,000 people being trained, only 50,000 people. With such a large area, there is obviously insufficient troops, so he has to recruit at least another 50,000 people. The recruitment and training of these 50,000 people is also a large number.
To encourage people to reclaim wasteland and continue to increase grain production, it is all necessary to make money. Since these lands are occupied, the people in these places must live and work in peace and contentment. This is a place of money.
After conquering Hangzhou City, the war came to an end for the time being, but Zhang Yang suddenly realized that there were more troubles one by one.
Looking at Liu Bowen behind him, this master of political affairs has to let him share some of the burden.
