Chapter 621

So far, Jiankang has two dynasties as its capital. The first dynasty is Sun Wu, the second Dynasty is the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, then there are song, Qi, Liang and Chen in the northern and Southern Dynasties, then the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Daming Dynasty in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and finally the party state.

If you take it seriously, Jiankang (nan1 capital) is the ancient capital of ten dynasties, including some very short-lived dynasties, or it should be said that the dynasties with Jiankang as the capital do not have a long life. The longest is the 103rd year of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. (the Ming Dynasty moved its capital, so it only became the capital of one generation)

Nowadays, Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River have been developed. Among them, Jingzhou has a relatively early development history. Yangzhou has made great progress only after "crossing South". The rest of the States and counties have not undergone much development. Jiaozhi, ningzhou and Guangzhou are the most savage, but Jiangzhou has been developed during the eastern Wu period and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Jiankang once had a population of nearly two million. If you want to accommodate so many people, it naturally covers a wide area. The city wall of the whole city does not have a strict four-way square. In fact, the city wall is an irregular line.

In addition to the rammed earth wall, Jiankang also has an oval fence around the city. In addition, there are many natural waterways and artificially excavated changti. It will be built into such a multi barrier defense zone. The main reason is that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty chose to build a city here, which is not far from Hu Lu's territory, or it is afraid that Hu Lu will really cross the Yangtze River and be under the city.

If Jiankang's will to defend the army is firm enough to resist by relying on the terrain, it will be difficult for any invading enemy to advance in big strides. In addition, Jiankang has a population of nearly two million. If you really want to mobilize, how can you mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to help defend the city? If you want to conquer Jiankang, you must pay a high price.

The Han Army's attack on Jiankang only damaged less than 10000 people. It was because the Sima family, as a puppet, stopped playing and the aristocratic family was not united, that Jiankang was easily captured by the Han army.

At this moment, Liu Yan is in the stone city to the west of Jiankang. He stands beside the women's wall and watches the surging river.

The Yangtze River is really long. Its source is on the plateau. The length of the whole waterway is more than 12000 Li, running east to the East China Sea. However, not the whole Yangtze River can be used as a transport waterway. On the contrary, many river sections can not be navigated at all.

Most of the reaches of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou can be navigated. Standing in stone city and looking at the Yangtze River, ships on the river shuttle back and forth, showing a busy scene.

Stone city is just a place name, not really a city. The terrain here is very complex. Only a small fortress has been built on the largest mountain. There are not many buildings or fields in other places.

In ancient times, place names were very particular. Where there should be many mountains, there would be place names related to mountains. What kind of soil would have corresponding characteristics. Stone city is a place full of strange stones. How should we reclaim farmland?

After the demise of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strategic position of the Jiangdu on the other side of Xuzhou plummeted. It was only retained as a fleet docking base. The military port with the largest military use of the Yangtze River waterway was changed to Jiankang. Looking down from the stone city, you can see the military port on the side of Xizhou City, where there are many warships, row after row.

Xizhou city can be regarded as one of the cities in Jiankang. There are quite a lot of similar urban areas, each with its own rammed earth walls. There is a tributary of the Yangtze River running through Jiankang. Wuyi Lane on the side of the Huaihe River was once the residential area of Wang and Xie families. From the stone city, you can see that it is full of big houses.

"My Lord." Xun Xian stood five steps behind Liu Yan and bowed slightly: "Donglin garden has been properly prepared, and most of the scholars have arrived."

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

The Xun clan is a big clan in the south. Their clan has a very long history. But it has to be traced back to the ancient Yellow Emperor. It was used as a national name in the spring and Autumn period. After Qin swept away the eight wastelands and six harmonies, it gradually evolved into a surname.

Chinese surnames are not simple. They usually have a history worth telling, but also a national development history. Only some surnames are given by the emperor, and some are the place names of a certain family occupying a certain land. Due to the customs of the ancient pre-Qin period, such as where the fief of a family is, the land becomes the family name of the family. After the fief is changed, the family name of a family is not fixed.

Xunxian's family had a lot of celebrities, especially in the period of the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, xunxian and Chen in Yuzhou actually had the same ancestor, and Sima's family had the same ancestor. So many families with different names had the same ancestor, which was actually the reason for the change of fiefdom in the spring and Autumn period. Among them, Chen in Yingchuan is traced back to Tian, the Tian who bought the whole country by "fighting big and fighting small".

The contemporary Xun family is not a family at the level of door valve. It is a first-class aristocratic family supported by its strong heritage, but it doesn't seem to have so many capable people in the family at the end of the 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 Lang has entered the countdown.

Before Jiangxia, there was no known aristocratic family or great power. With the "change of Dynasty", and because the LV family invested in the right object as soon as possible, LV Yi's family became the first family in Jiangxia. Liu Yan arranged Xun Xian to Jiangxia. In fact, it also means that the LV family can help more.

To put it bluntly, the personal secretary Lang is actually doing the work of a modern secretary. Many Chinese leaders delegate their secretaries, whether as a direct or factional reason, and will take care of them as much as possible. It is the tentacle of their own power and a kind of "spreading branches and leaves".

Xun Xian has been Liu Yan's close secretary for so long. He can be regarded as a close Minister of the son of heaven. The killing in the south is so serious that someone will definitely find Xun Xian in trouble. Because of Xun Xian's previous experience, it is not his own face that loses face.

Donglin garden is in Jiankang's palace city. After the demise of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiankang's palace city is no longer called Palace City, and its specification is one of Liu Yan's many palaces.

Liu Yan doesn't have many palaces, one in Linzi, one in Yecheng and one in Xiangguo. Anyway, it's not sure where the capital is, and there's no formal palace city. After his southern tour, he went to Xiangguo. He won't stay in Xiangguo for too long. He will go to Guanzhong in autumn. We need to see the location of the capital.

Many people think that there were only two capital cities in the early Han Dynasty, namely Chang'an (now Shaanxi Province, Xi'an city) and Luoyang (now Henan Province, Luoyang City). In fact, there is Luoyang (now Henan Province, Luoyang City).

The former Zhao Dynasty (i.e. the Hun Han state) made its capital Chang'an in the original old city. After the end of the northern and Southern Dynasties, Yang Jian took the place of Zhou Dynasty. The establishment of Daxing Capital was not at the former site of Chang'an City in the former Han Dynasty. Daxing city was located closer to the Qinling Mountains, but actually moved in the Li Tang Dynasty.

Now 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 there and check the geographical location in person.

"Go down."

Liu Yan turned and walked.

The passage in the fortress on the stone city is very narrow. There are torches on both sides of the walls in the dark place. There is a strong smell of grease in the air.

Through the narrow passage, there will be an indoor hall. This is the place where soldiers gather in the fortress. There were many shelves for weapons on all sides, but now there are many grain bags.

The hall has passages extending in all directions, and the door out of the fortress is the largest. Out of the gate is an open-air square, but the square is only the size of a modern basketball court. Passing through the square is a steep downhill ladder.

When walking the stairs, look forward and you can see an endless fence wall. Below is a place called shitoujin. You can see that there are stones of different shapes everywhere. Passing through this place, you will reach the west gate of the fence wall.

Xili gate is a distance from the palace city, but there is a wilderness in the middle. There are two gates to enter. Liu Yan chose Ximing gate.

When the outer walls of Jiankang were built, no moat was excavated, and there was no moat in the oval fence wall. On the contrary, the palace city with four square walls excavated the moat. The river was led from the Huai River, which is actually a tributary of the Yangtze River.

Liu Yan heard a lot of noise when he was close to ximingmen. When he asked, he knew what land and water law was being done in Xizhou city not far away.

"The monk in charge of water and land Dharma is Shi Daoan. He was a scholar proficient in Confucianism. Later, he went to the Central Plains to worship Buddha Tucheng." Xunxian, the Secretary Lang, needs to know a lot. At least the king can answer his questions. It can be seen that the Secretary Lang is not so easy to do. He hesitated for a while before continuing to say, "Jiankang has gathered a considerable number of salmones in recent days. The land and water mage is funded by Salmone himself. He says he is a soldier who has spent the battle of Jiankang, but there is no Jin army."

Liu Yan understood that Salmonella used water and land methods to kill Han soldiers. It must be to attract his own attention.

The problem is that the Han government has its own way to deal with the dead. The dead soldiers will be transported to the martyrs' Park in Changguang county first, and the Taoists there will hold a religious ceremony before being buried.

"Who agrees that they hold land and water legal affairs?" Liu Yan got the answer. He frowned and said, "is sang Yu too busy?"

Concerning the imperial envoy doctor, one of the three princes of the dynasty, Xun Xian could only pretend not to hear.

There was no national 1 religion in Han Dynasty, but Liu Yan actually preferred local Taoism. In fact, Taoism is not such a name now. Anyway, there are many kinds of names. Its origin was founded by Zhang Daoling in Heming mountain, Si 1 Chuan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, it was called wudoumi religion.

Today's Taoism does not have a general forum, nor does it spread its belief. It is conveyed to the world as a magician, which gives the world the impression that a Taoist is actually an alchemist.

Entering from ximingmen and going to Gongcheng is Taicang's route. It is called Taicang, just as its name is a place for storing grain. Round granaries can be seen everywhere. Some old grain will be moved out and spread on the ground to bask in the sunshine.

Because Liu Yan didn't pay attention to Jiankang's Palace City, he still did the face project before he came. Of course, the place to be cleaned was cleaned, but he could still see the signs of dilapidation. For example, the damaged places in some places were blocked with something 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 there are many lakes because there is no water shortage.

Donglin garden is a place full of rare and exotic grass. Unfortunately, rockery is not popular now. At most, it is to dig a pond to raise some colorful fish.

Didn't Liu Yan recruit famous people in the south? Those who come first stay in Donglin garden in twos and threes, especially in the pavilions and pavilions where there are the most people, either singing poetry or sprinkling pen and ink. The relatively distinctive thing is to eat Wushi powder and then do strange acts to distribute medicine.

"This is the so-called Jin Wei demeanor?" Xu Zheng stood by the window of an attic and said with a disgusting expression: "wushisan is not a good thing. After eating it, his behavior is like going crazy."

After eating Wushi powder, it really seems to be crazy. Strip fruit running is not a feature. It's very embarrassing to ride across the tree trunk.

Cai you curiously went to the window and looked. After a burst of "ha ha" laughter, he said, "will that guy break his chicken?"

They have been in this attic for a long time to observe what the invited celebrities will do. As for why there are five stone powder now, it is sang Yu yishizi who likes to specially let people prepare. They probably know what sang Yu thinks. They just want to see the people who take 1 drugs make a fool of themselves. They are happy to see a lively scene, so they don't stop it.

Liu Yan came to the attic with light clothes, waved to the saluting crowd, stood at the window where Xu Zheng and Cai you made way, and happened to see the scene for the trunk.

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

Liu Yan knew that Wu Shi San understood that it was a drug that could make people hallucinate. He didn't ask how Wu Shi San would be prepared, and didn't respond to Cai you's words.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the style of writing in the south is prosperous, but there are many absurd people." Sang Yu raised his hand and pointed to the scholar who was still attacking the trunk: "those of this generation don't know how many."

It seems, it seems, it is estimated... There are few literati in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who do not take drugs? Anyone who can be called a famous scholar basically has the habit of taking five stone powder.

Liu Yan was still silent. He turned his eyes to another Pavilion, where a large group of people gathered. A middle-aged man was waving pen and ink. Next to him was Sun Chuo, who was helping to hold the paper axis.

"That man is Wang Xizhi." LV Yi explained in detail for Liu Yan: "I heard that it is to repair the bamboo tree and write the old story of Shanyin Orchid Pavilion."

"Orchid Pavilion?" In fact, Liu Yan didn't know what Xiu Zhen was. He suddenly stared: "you mean, Wang Xizhi is writing about Lanting?"

Repair (XI) ū X ì) originated from an ancient custom of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the "Si day" in the first ten days of March of the lunar calendar (it was fixed as March 3 after the Wei Dynasty) to swim by the water to eliminate bad luck, which is called "Xiuli".

As for Wang Xizhi's writing of Lanting, what else can it be besides Lanting preface?!
