Sweep the World

♂!

Up to now in Jiankang, two dynasties have served as capitals here. The first dynasty is Sun Wu, the second is the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then there are Song, Qi, Liang, Chen in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then the Five Dynasties and Ten The Southern Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the party-state in the end. "Le" Wen "Small "Speaking|

If you count it seriously, Jiankang (South 1 Jing) is the ancient capital of ten dynasties, and there are many short-lived dynasties among them. One hundred and three years. (The Ming Dynasty moved its capital, so it only became the capital of one generation)

Nowadays, Jingzhou and Yangzhou have been developed to the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, Jingzhou has a relatively early development history. Yangzhou has been developed after the "Southern Crossing". The other prefectures and counties have not undergone much development. Jiaozhi, Ningzhou, and Guang 1 prefectures were the most wild, but Jiangzhou was developed during the Eastern Wu period and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Jiankang used to have a population of nearly two million. If you want to accommodate so many people, it will naturally occupy a large area. There is no strict squareness in the walls of the entire city. The city walls are actually a kind of irregularity. Lines.

In addition to the rammed earth city wall, Jiankang also has an oval-shaped fence wall surrounding the city pond. In addition, there are many natural water channels and artificially excavated long handles. It will be built into such a multi-barrier defensive belt, mainly because the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty chose to build the city here not far from Hulu's site, or he was afraid that Hulu would really cross the Yangtze River and approach the city.

If Jiankang’s defenders are strong enough to resist by relying on the terrain, it will be difficult for any invading enemy to advance in large strides. Furthermore, Jiankang has a population of close to two million. If you really want to mobilize, you can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to help. Defending the city, if you want to conquer Jiankang, you must pay a big price.

The Han army's southward attack on Jiankang only cost less than 10,000 people. It was because the Sima family who were puppets stopped playing, and the family was not single-minded, which led to Jiankang being easily captured by the Han army.

At this moment, Liu Yan is in the Stone City west of Jiankang. He is standing by the female wall watching the surging river.

The Yangtze River is really long, and its source is on the plateau. The length of the entire waterway exceeds 12,000 li, and it rushes east to the East China Sea. However, not the entire Yangtze River can be used as a transportation waterway. On the contrary, many river sections cannot be navigated at all.

Most of the Yangtze River sections in Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou regions can be navigated. Standing in the Stone Town and looking towards the Yangtze River, ships shuttled back and forth on the river, showing a busy scene.

Stone City is just a place name, not really a city. The terrain here is very complicated. Only a small fortress has been built on the largest mountain. There are not many buildings or acres in the rest of the area.

In ancient times, place names were very particular. Where there are many mountains, there will be place names related to mountains. What kind of soil will have corresponding characteristics. The Stone City is a place full of strange rocks. How to get there Cultivate farmland?

After the demise of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strategic position of Jiangdu on the other side of Xuzhou plummeted. It was only retained as a fleet docking base. The largest military port on the Yangtze River was changed to Jiankang. Standing in Stone City, you can see the side of Xizhou City. The military port of China, with many warships docked there, looks like row after row.

Xizhou City can be regarded as one of Jiankang's city within a city. There are quite a lot of similar urban areas, each with its own rammed earth city wall. There is a tributary of the Yangtze River that runs through Jiankang. Wuyi Lane on the edge of the Huai River in Silie was once the residential area of ​​the Wang and Xie families. From the Stone City, you can see that there are full of mansions.

"The King." Xun Xian was standing five steps away behind Liu Yan, bowing slightly and saluting: "Donglin Garden is well prepared, and most of the scholars have arrived."

The wind blowing from the Yangtze River is a bit strong, because it is coming from the direction of the river, the wind is cool, and Liu Yan's cloak is also dancing with the wind.

The Xun clan is a big clan in the south. The history of their clan is still very long. It should be traced back from the ancient Huangdi period. The Spring and Autumn period was used as a country name. After Qin swept the Eight Wastes, it gradually evolved into a surname.

The surnames of Huaxia are not simple. They usually have a history worth telling. They are also a history of the development of a nation. It is just that some surnames are bestowed by the emperor, and some are the names of places where a certain family has occupied a certain piece of land. Due to the customs of the pre-Qin period in ancient times, such as where the fief of a certain family is, that piece of land becomes the surname of the family. After the fief is changed, the surname will also change, so the surname of a family is not fixed.

Xun Xian’s family had a lot of celebrities, especially during the period of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, the Xun family and the Chen family in Yuzhou actually had the same ancestor, and the Sima family had the same ancestor, so many people with different names. The family is the same ancestor, which is actually the reason for the change of the fief in the Spring and Autumn Period. Among them, the Chen clan of Yingchuan recalled that it was the Tian clan, that is, the Tian clan who bought the entire country by "big fights out of small fights".

The contemporary Xun clan is not considered a family-level family. The powerful background supports the first-class family, but the family does not have so many capable people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Yan has decided to release Xun Xian. After this southern tour, Xun Xian will go to Jiangxia to be a county magistrate. Xun Xian's history as the king's personal secretary has entered a countdown.

Before Jiang Xia had any prestigious family or tycoons, it was unknown. As the "change of dynasty" proceeded, and because the Lu clan invested in the right target early, Lu Yi’s family became Jiangxia’s well-deserved first family. Liu Yan will Xun Xian arranged to go to Jiangxia, in fact, it also meant that the Lu clan would be more helpful.

To put it bluntly, the personal secretary is actually doing the work of modern secretaries. Many leaders in the Celestial dynasty devolved their secretaries. Whether it is for direct or factional reasons, they will take care of them as much as possible. They are the tentacle of their own power and also "open branches." A kind of "loose leaves".

Xun Xian has been Liu Yan's personal secretary for so long, and he can be regarded as a close minister to the emperor, and the killings in the south are so serious, there will definitely be people who will trouble Xun Xian. And because of Xun Xian's previous resume, it is never his own face that is ashamed.

Donglin Garden is within the palace of Jiankang. After the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the palace of Jiankang is no longer called Miyagi. It is one of Liu Yan's palaces.

Liu Yan didn't have many palaces, one in Linzi, one in Yecheng, and one in Xiangguo. Anyway, it is still unclear where the capital is, and there is no formal palace. He will go to Xiangguo after his southern tour, and will not stay in Xiangguo for too long. He will go to Guanzhong in the fall, and he needs to see the location of the capital.

Many people think that there are only two capitals in the pre-Han, namely Chang'an (now Shaan, 1 West, 1 province, 1 West, 1 An, 1 city) and Luoyang (now Henan, 1 South, 1 province, 1 Luo, 1 Yang, 1 city), but there is actually one It is Luoyang (now He, 1 South, 1 Province, 1 Luo, 1 Yang, 1 City).

The former Zhao (the Huns and the Han Kingdom) established the capital of Chang'an. It was in the original old city. After the Southern and Northern Dynasties ended in Yang Jian’s dynasty, Daxingdu City was not built at the former site of Chang’an City in the pre-Han Dynasty. Daxing City was located a little closer to the Qinling Mountains. Li Tang actually moved.

Now that the Chang'an City in Guanzhong is extremely dilapidated, Liu Yan didn't want to repair the old city. What he wanted was to build a new capital from scratch. He must go and check the geographical location in person.

"Go down."

Liu Yan said and turned to take a step.

The internal passages of the fortress on the stone city are very narrow, and there are torches on both sides of the walls in the dark, and the air has a strong smell of grease.

Passing through the narrow passage, there will be an indoor hall. This is the place where the fortress gathers soldiers. Originally, there were many shelves on the four sides where weapons could be placed, but now there are many food parcels piled up.

The hall has extensive passages, and the door that exits the fortress appears the largest. Walking out of the gate is an open-air square, but the square is only the size of a modern basketball court, and across the square is a steep downhill staircase.

When walking on the stairs, you can see an endless fence wall when you look forward. Below is a place called Shitou Jin. You can see that there are stones of different shapes everywhere, and you will reach the fence wall when you pass through this place. West Gate.

The Xili Gate is a distance from the palace, but there is a wilderness in the middle. There are two gates to enter through this one. Liu Yan chose the Ximing Gate.

The outer wall of Jiankang was built without a moat, and there is no moat on the oval fence. Instead, the Miyagi with square walls excavated the moat. The water is drawn from the Huai River, and the Huai River is actually the Yangtze River. Tributary.

Liu Yan approached the Ximing Gate and heard a tumult of noise, and when he asked, he knew what water and land rituals were being done in Xizhou City not far away.

"The monk who presided over the water and land rituals is Shi Daoan. This person was originally a scholar who was proficient in Confucianism, and later went to the Central Plains to worship Buddha Tucheng." Xun Xian, the secretary, has a lot to understand, at least the king needs to be able to answer questions. It can be seen that the secretary Lang is not so good at doing it. He hesitated for a while, and then continued: "In recent days, Jiankang has gathered quite a lot of Shamen middle-aged people. The water and land mage was funded by Shamen himself. It was said that he was a soldier who superseded the Jiankang battle, but there was no Jin army."

Liu Yan understands that Shamen specializes in water and land rituals to supervise the death of Han soldiers. It must be to attract his own attention.

The problem is that the Han government has its own way of handling the soldiers who died in battle. The soldiers who died in battle will be transported to the Martyrs Garden in Changguang County, and the Taoist priests there will hold a religious ceremony before they are enshrined.

"Who agrees that they hold water and land ceremonies?" Liu Yan got the answer, frowning and said, "Is Sang Yu too idle?"

Xun Xian could only pretend not to hear that it was the imperial doctor who was one of the three males of the dynasty.

There is no national religion in Han, but Liu Yan is actually a Taoist who prefers the native. Taoism is not actually called this now. Anyway, there are many kinds of titles. The origin is that Zhang Daoling was founded in the Heming Mountain of Si-1chuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, it was called Wudoumijiao.

Now Taoism does not have a general altar, nor does it carry out the spread of beliefs. It is conveyed to the world as a sorcerer, which gives the world the impression that a Taoist is in fact an alchemist.

Entering from the Ximing Gate, to Miyagi is the route of Taicang. The reason why it is called Taicang is just as its name refers to a place where grains are collected. You can see billowing grain silos everywhere. Some old grains will also be moved out and spread on the ground in the sun.

Because Liu Yan didn’t pay much attention to Jiankang’s Miyagi, he did some facial engineering before he came. Of course, the place that should be cleaned was achieved, but the signs of dilapidation can still be seen. Block it first.

The style of Jiangnan is different from that of the north. One of them is that there are many kinds of flowers and plants in the forest garden, and the other is that there are many lakes because of the lack of water.

Donglin Park is a place full of rare and exotic grasses. Unfortunately, rockery is not popular now, at most it is to dig ponds to raise some exotic fishes.

Didn't Liu Yan recruit famous people in the south? Those who came first stayed in Donglin Garden in twos and threes, especially the pavilions where the most people were. They were either chanting poems or brushing pen and ink. There is nothing more distinctive than eating five stone powder and doing strange behaviors. Distribute medicinal power.

"This is the so-called Jin and Wei style?" Xu was standing by the window of an attic, and said with a disgusting expression: "Wu Shi San is not a good thing. After eating, he acted like crazy. "

After eating Wushisan, the power of the medicine is really like crazy. Undressing fruit is not a special feature, and riding on a tree trunk is very embarrassing.

Cai You walked to the window curiously and took a look. After a burst of laughter "haha", he said, "Will that guy break his'chicken'?"

Their group of people of the level of three public officials and nine officials stayed in this attic for a long time, just to observe what the celebrities who were invited would do. As for why there are five stones scattered now, it is the scholar Sangyu who likes to make preparations specially. Everyone probably knows what Sang Yu thinks. It's nothing more than watching the people who take drugs make a fool of themselves, and it doesn't stop if they are happy to watch the excitement.

Liu Yan came to the attic with light clothes and waved his hands to the crowd. He stood at the window opened by Xu Zheng and Cai You, and he happened to see the scene of the tree trunk offering.

"It's been almost a quarter of an hour." Cai You finished smiling and asked, "Do you want the guards to drive out of the city?"

Liu Yan knew about Wushisan, and understood that it was a kind of medicine that could make people hallucinate. He didn't ask how he prepared Wushisan, and he didn't respond to Cai You's words.

"Wang~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The southern style of writing is prosperous, but there are many absurd generations." Sang Yu pointed to the scholar who is still continuing to attack the trunk: "I don't know where this generation is."

It seems, it seems, it is estimated that... Few literati in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not use drugs? Anyone who can be called a celebrity basically has the habit of licking five stones.

Liu Yan remained silent, turning his gaze to another pavilion where a large group of people gathered. A middle-aged man was swaying his pen and ink, and Sun Chuo was helping to hold the paper scroll next to him.

"That person is Wang Xizhi." Lu Yi explained to Liu Yan in detail: "I heard that it was to repair and compose the old events of Shanyin Lanting."

"Lanting?" Liu Yan actually didn't know what Xiuxuan was, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You mean, Wang Xizhi is writing about Lanting?"

Xiuxu (xiūxì) originated from an ancient custom in the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the day of "Si Ri" in the first ten days of the lunar calendar, (after the Wei Dynasty, it is fixed as March 3), to swim by the water to eliminate ominousness. It's called "Xiu Fu".

As for Wang Xizhi's writing of the Lanting, what else can it be besides "The Preface to the Lanting"? !
