Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 589 Song Jiang accepts bribes? 【Subscribe】

Chang'an is located on the banks of the Weishui River. To be honest, there is not much favorable terrain to rely on in this generation.The terrain is flat, with no big rivers or high mountains. If you want to hold on to Chang'an, you really don't need to spend much time outside the city.

Liu Fa is also like this, mobilizing the whole city, only strengthening and strengthening the city.In the raging weather, the soldiers stood on the top of the city, ready to fight, even though the Liangshan army outside showed no signs of attacking the city, they still wore armor and stood ready.The sun is so hot that it can burn the battlements every time, let alone the dark armor.

Song Jun just stood like this, always ready for danger.

On the city wall that was more than three feet wide, the Song army and countless men in the city were busy carrying arrows, broken wood, stones, kerosene and other objects.On the horse's face, divine arm bows and bed crossbows were lined up, and the crossbow operators were doing post-inspection to ensure that the equipment was in good condition.

Unlike the hustle and bustle on top of the city, the city below seemed orderly.The government demolished a large number of private houses, but also resettled the people one after another. The various materials that remained after the demolition were used to defend the city or build parapets.Unrestrained is inside and outside the city.Hundreds of artillery carriages of various colors were arranged in those large open spaces.Although they all know that the Liangshan Army's stone cannons are powerful, they can't just rely on their opponents to attack them, right?
The people in the city took the workshop as the unit, led by Baozheng of each workshop, organized the young and strong to assist the defenders in carrying equipment and transporting materials.In addition, fire prevention, moisture protection, patrolling and so on.

Everyone busy up and down is on all fours, but the morale of the people in the city is not high.Helpless, this war did not benefit them. Even if the Song army fled, the Liangshan army who entered the city would not burn, kill and loot.What's more, in recent days, the price of goods in the city has skyrocketed, especially grain and salt, which have skyrocketed.If so, this war is just a burden to them.

The war and fire, not to mention the casualties of the people in the city, only the damage to Chang'an City is irreparable.

And it was under such circumstances that Liu Fa ushered in another leap in his official position. He officially changed from Liulu Jinglue Envoy to Shanxi Propaganda Envoy, was promoted to Chongxin and Zhenning Army Town Jiedu envoy, and was added as the inspector.

Liu Fa was originally the military governor of the Zhongwu Army, and now he is the military governor of the two towns of Shanxi Province, which can be said to be a great honor, not to mention the imperial tutor.This is more glorious than the Privy Envoy and the Taiwei, a great honor.

Lu Qian received a letter from the city the next day. Looking at the kindness of the Song family to Liu Fa, he not only thought of Paulus, Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst Paulus, that The commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army of the Third Reich, the marshal who did not get the marshal's scepter.

Zhao Ji is certainly very similar to Hitler at the time, and he very much hopes that Liu Fa can persevere to the end, and that Liu Fa will be his loyal minister.

Because it is impossible for him to draw troops from the Jiangnan battlefield, which is in a good situation, to return to Kansai.

Now all he can count on is Liu Fa, hoping that Liu Fa can guard Chang'an for him, so as to give Kansai a glimmer of hope.

It was already mid-May, and the Guanzhong Liangshan Army could be said to have gathered in one place.From Heluo, from Tongzhou, from Yan'an...

More than [-] troops gathered together, really overwhelming.

In Chang'an County-Chang'an City-Wannian County, more than [-] military villages were built on all sides, and the city was tightly locked inside.Chang'an at this time is not the Chang'an that future generations can see, nor is it the historical Chang'an City of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but only the imperial city of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.The melee between warlords at the end of the Tang Dynasty has changed the appearance of Chang'an in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The east and west cities of the outer city are Chang'an County and Wannian County.

Then the Liangshan Army was not in a hurry to attack. Li Mida had been operating in Chang'an City for a long time, but the time had not yet arrived.And many siege equipment still need time to be transported from the rear or made from local materials.

One of the biggest inconveniences in this Guanzhong place is transportation.Don't look at a Weishui that runs from east to west, but such a famous Weishui is not passable for sailing ships.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous "boating battle" in the annals of history. When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, the Wei River was the lifeblood of the Han army's logistics and food transportation.During the Han and Tang dynasties, the grain and grass transported from Luoyang to Chang'an was surprisingly tens of thousands of stones every year.

However, from the middle and late period of Li and Tang Dynasties, the Weishui river transport was just like the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, and the decline was irreversible.

"Your Majesty, there are three reasons for the decline of the Weishui River Transport. One is the lack of water, the second is that there is too much sand, and the third is that the water volume during the flood season and the dry season are too large." Xu Guanzhong is a living map and knows Guanzhong like the back of his hand.

At this moment, he said to Lu Qian: "The northwest is already arid, and there are few tributaries of the Wei River. However, during the Song and Xia Dynasties, many places were not affected by military disasters, but there was no grass, let alone big trees. According to the king's words, the vegetation was destroyed and there was heavy soil erosion. Also, the river water contains sediment and sedimentation, so of course the river becomes shallower and shallower, and the beaches are silted up, which naturally hinders navigation.”

"Furthermore, in Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, there are many people living there, and the arable land is extensive, all of which need irrigation water. This Chang'an is a place where the capital has been established for a long time. The most important factor in consolidating the political power in the past dynasties is to ensure that the capital's food is not enough. In this way, the agricultural production in the Guanzhong area is closely related to the food supply of the capital, which makes the emperors who established their capitals here must actively care about it. In history, water conservancy in Guanzhong was developed quite early and achieved remarkable results. Qin Kai The Zheng Canal irrigated [-] hectares of land, and the Bai Canal opened in the Han Dynasty re-irrigated more than [-] hectares. These two canals alone account for more than [-] hectares. The other small canals cannot be counted. There are so many acres of fields Self-needed water for irrigation is also a major cause and effect of the water consumption of the Weihe River and its tributaries."

Then Xu Guanzhong turned over his book bag to Lu Qian, "Zhang Rong, the great Sima at the time of Wang Mang, pointed out that the "Han Shu Gou Wei Zhi" contained his words: Today, the western counties and even the capital (Chang'an) travel eastward, and the people all lead the river, The Weishan River irrigates the fields, spring and summer are dry, and when there is little water, the river is slow, silted and slightly shallow, and the rain is heavy and the water is violent, and it will overflow. . . . It is popular, and the waterway is self-interested, and there is no harm of overflow." That is to say, Zhang Rong pointed out that Guanzhong's agricultural irrigation water makes the river channel silted and shallow, and the result is easy to cause overflow, which affects the river channel, and shipping is bound to be restricted, but The problem of water transportation and river courses should be solved by abolishing irrigation.But of course that doesn't work.Therefore, Zhang Rong's suggestion was naturally not implemented.Even if Wang Mang is really a time traveler, he is only afraid of the knowledge of the little red soldiers.In order to maintain the passage of the Weishui River, reducing the cultivated land around the capital is too suggestive and terrifying.

"The last thing is urban water. Chang'an was the capital of the Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties. Among the ancient capitals, Chang'an lasted the longest. The capital has always been a place where the population concentrated, and it was also the residence of emperors and generals. In order to satisfy the needs of the emperor's palaces, gardens, and power, The water source of the ponds in the gardens of the nobles was used to solve the water supply problem of the residents. Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty mainly collected Jiao and Jiao (欬) into Kunming Pool. The lower entrance of Kunming Pool was divided into three groups and introduced into the city. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Chang'an City was to the east. It is diverted from Ba and Chan to the west, and from Jiao and Jiao to the west. It is also divided into three canals and led into the city. These underwater rivers all flow into the Wei River."

Lu Qianren is not under the city of Chang'an, he is in Xianyang on the other side of the Wei River at this moment.

Looking at the map of Guanzhong in front of me, I didn't know what Xu Guanzhong meant.In the Zhao and Song Dynasties, although Chang'an was no longer the capital, the agricultural pressure and burden in the Guanzhong area was not inferior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The only reason was the Western Army.

Even if the burden of the hundreds of thousands of food and supplies supplied by the Western Army was not entirely on their shoulders, it still made the people of Guanzhong breathless.

Compared with the Han and Tang dynasties, the agricultural water consumption is only a lot more.

Xu Guanzhong just told Lu Qian that it would be whimsical to restore the Weishui River Transport.

The destruction of the vegetation in Guanzhong by the Song and Xia Wars was not inferior to that of the warlord wars in the late Tang Dynasty. In Lu Qian's words, the consequences were catastrophic, and I don't know how long it would take to make up for it.

Coupled with the development of agriculture in Guanzhong, the Weishui River has become difficult to recover.

However, it was not only the Northern Song Dynasty that had troops stationed in the western border, Lu Qian still wanted to do this.It's just that Zhao and Song's Western Army used defense as offense, but Lu Qian was determined to open up thousands of miles.

"So, we still need to open canals?" Lu Qian said as he picked up a booklet on his desk.

This is Sun Zhaoyuan's Shangshu.

Lu Qian has not yet been able to capture Guanzhong, but he has already begun to govern Guanzhong.To manage Guanzhong well, a major root lies in transportation.

Since Renzong wanted to defend Xixia, Shaanxi has permanently stationed heavy troops, and its food and salaries depend on the southeast, and millions of stones, grains and rice arrive every year.However, the Weihe River water transport can only be used to transport bamboo and wood in the Qinling Mountains of Guanzhong, and weaving boats and rafts will be released.That is to say, from Luokou to the west, the transfer of military supplies and supplies is all land transportation.In this way, with the cost of transporting by car, half of a shi of grain and rice will go first, even if the people in Guanzhong transport grain, it will also cost a lot of money.

"It's not a bad idea to open the canal. When the water in Guanzhong is full of sand and sand, how can it guarantee its navigation all year round?" Just like the canals in history, when summer rains come, they will inevitably be filled with silt.The tributaries of the Weishui River that interweave with the Cao Canal often leave countless sediments after the water level soars.If it is not repaired in three to two years, [-]% of the canal will be destroyed, and in another three to five years, it will be finished directly.

This is what makes Xu Guanzhong difficult.He is a living map, but not a water conservancy expert.In the matter of water control, the seven orifices have been connected to the six orifices - none of them have been understood.He couldn't answer Lu Qian's question.And Sun Zhaoyuan's Shangshu also did not mention this point.

Lu Qian immediately recruited Huang Qianshan, "Take Sun Zhaoyuan as the leader, and you as the assistant. In three months, I will visit the site, research carefully, and come up with a feasible program." Is this guy careful?

Huang Qianshan was overjoyed immediately, it was natural and easy to stay by Lu Qian's side and flatter him, but it was of no merit.But now, he was finally looking forward to the real thing. "I dare not do my best. I will assist Sun Xianggong, do my best, and live up to the king's expectations."

Since Sun Zhaoyuan proposed so, Lu Qian dared to let him out.I believe this person has a certain prejudice in his heart.In this way, three months is enough for them to cover the north and south of the Wei River.

"This time the army marched westward, broke through the party in the north, and fixed the Guanzhong in the south. Countless sergeants were captured. A mere canal is nothing to worry about. The only worry is to repeat the same mistakes."

Lu Qian handed Sun Zhaoyuan's Shangshu to Huang Qianshan, and Xu Guanzhong also pointed to the map and explained to him a lot.

On the other hand, Huang Qian was kind on the surface, but he secretly gave Sun Zhaoyuan a big thumbs up in his heart, which is quite human.Knowing that at such a time, the military power is too much for him, and after the Dingding Guanzhong is arranged, if he is arranged, the prefect of a state will be at the top, and he has to learn a little bit first.So why don't you jump out first and do some practical things, which will not only suit King Lu's appetite, but also give yourself more time to secretly familiarize yourself with Lu Qi's rules and regulations.

Sun Zhaoyuan himself was born as a civil servant. He had been in Guanzhong for many years, served as a local official, and was a transfer envoy of the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, he knew the pros and cons of Guanzhong.Playing this trick now is really a clever strategy!

When Huang Qianshan came out of the lobby with a Maitreya-like face, he saw Le He standing under the hall, holding a secret box with a seal on it, Huang Qianshan recognized it at a glance.

When he saw himself coming out, he just nodded and walked quickly into the lobby.Huang Qianshan didn't dare to stay in the hall and hurried out.

I didn't know that in the lobby at this time, Lu Qianyan looked at the seal, took out the key, opened the secret box, and was surprised after seeing the report inside.

"Song Gongming took advantage of his father-in-law's illness to accept bribes?" Didn't this make people laugh out loud.

Heisaburo is an ambitious man and a fan of officials. Knowing that what Lu Qian hates most is giving and receiving bribes, taking bribes and bending the law, how can he dare to know the law and break it?This is not the timely rain and Song Gongming in his impression.

　The three-high crowd is really..., I can't say, there are too many places to talk about.
