Chapter 1351 "Asking for Gold and Revenge on the Three Qin Trees"
After the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the century-old confrontation between Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty, coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River, the capacity of the Grand Canal was no longer as good as before.
The canal from Jiangnan to Yuan Dadu has been restored to a certain extent, but the canal to Luoyang has been diverted because of the Yellow River, and the sediment cannot go to the big boat.
A few years ago, in order to destroy the Yuyuan army, the Qing army dug the Yellow River to the north, and the Yellow River was diverted to the north to flow into the Bohai Sea.
If you want to re-dredge the canal, you must first let the Yellow River go completely north, which requires a major repair of the Yellow River waterway, build a 10,000-mile embankment, and then drain the canal water, clean up the silt section by section, widen the canal, strengthen the embankment, and prepare a complex lock system.
If it is difficult, it will have a great sense of accomplishment, and it will also benefit future generations.
This kind of thing is exactly what Wang is keen on and likes, but this thing is really dangerous, Emperor Wen of Sui opened the reign of Emperor Wen for 20 years, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, and the construction of the Grand Canal also caused so many things, and the Ming Dynasty has only recovered Nanjing for nine years, and he really can't afford it now.
One day the three provinces are the churches of saints, and Wang looked up to Confucius and Mencius, and calmed down for a while after being locked in the study.
He felt that although Gao Yinxi didn't give him face and often made him unable to get off the stage, what he said was still very reasonable.
Being in a high position, there are endless flatteries around him, too many people vote for him, and after hearing too many good words, people will inevitably be fluttering, feeling that they are really good, and they have become rigid and self-serving, and Wang Yan is no exception.
This canal, Wang Yan is going to repair, but it is really not suitable now, it is better to wait for the destruction of the Jin Kingdom and recuperate for a few years.
Wang Yan stayed for a while and slowly figured it out, but remembering the way he trained him, after the training, Wang had to thank him for training correctly, the training was reasonable, and let him train again in the future, Wang Yan felt unhappy for a while.
It's just that he can't move Yinxi, which will make him look stingy and can't tolerate people, and he really needs someone to remind him.
Although Wang Yan was unhappy in his heart, he was angry, but he fell into success.
In order to show his mind and have a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, Wang Yan still ordered someone to send a box of North Korean ginseng to Du Yinxi, and warned him not to be so angry, pay attention to his body, be careful of constipation, and said that he would need to continue to teach in the future.
In fact, this is not the first time Wang Yan has been angry, when he was in Nanjing, he wanted to build the palace of Chu to be majestic and show the spirit of a great country, so he was accused in person, which made him very unhappy and faceless, but he still thanked Du Yinxi for his reminder.
This time, the Ming Dynasty requisitioned a large number of people, which did affect the agricultural time, and the people didn't care about the unification war, but they just knew that the imperial court had delayed their affairs and affected their interests, so there must be complaints, but if they didn't attack in the spring, when the Jin State sowed seeds, sweet potatoes, land, and corn grew out, then most of the previous efforts of the Ming Dynasty would be in vain.
Wang Yan was keen on unification, and he initially thought that this was the case for the entire Ming Dynasty, but Du Yinxi's words made him realize that the people were still more concerned about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and the harvest in their own fields.
He didn't have much pressure on the reunification war, and the whole person was floating, but for this big war, the people contributed their strength and food, and paid great efforts and sacrifices. If the people pay, but he misses a big defeat, then I am afraid that his reputation will plummet, and he will not be able to explain to the world, which makes Wang Yan feel pressure.
After Wang Yan felt the pressure, he no longer pondered about the Grand Canal, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of gold cutting.
On February 15, the ninth year of the reign of the Communist Party, Wang Yan sacrificed to the sky in the suburbs of Luoyang, swore to go on the expedition, and issued "Seeking Gold and Returning to the Three Qin Trees".
The document was drafted by Shilin Taidou Qian Qianyi, and signed by Wang Yan himself, telling Sanqin, saying: "The former Han Zuo declined, the land collapsed, and the lives of the people were almost wiped out. I, Emperor Gaozongxiang, am unswerving, save half of the country, set things right, save it from falling, and create my district Xia. ”
"Yan inherited the will of the emperor, supervised the great treasure of the country, and swore to restore the Han Xinjiang. Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, the homeland of the emperor. He has lived in stealing for eleven years. Yanguan Yu is a minister, and the government is favorable, and the Wanbang Concord, mourning my Guanzhong, is the only bandit. ”
"Yan Wen Sanqin, the people are hanging upside down, and the labor is not stopped, it is to lead the six divisions with his own person, and the four roads go hand in hand, and Gong Xingtian punishes him."
"The march of the ancients, based on benevolence, governed by righteousness, the army of kings, there is no war. Therefore, Yu Shun danced and served Miao, and Zhou Wu had the righteousness of spreading wealth and making money. Imahiko responds to the people and regents the car. Tell the three Qins to the order of Ji Yuanyuan. If you don't want to fight with all your might, with the ambition of a fast day, it is really a combination of the world, and the people are safe. ”
"Therefore, the key to Chen's safety, Jin Yan led the dignified teacher, restored the old frontier, Guan Fu Haojie, when the heaven and man turned their backs, and followed the general trend of the world, entangled the strong disciples, and responded to the king's teacher, then the reward of the marquis was established, isn't it beautiful? If you don't know the situation, you are confused but not reversed, as soon as the soldiers are released, the jade is broken, although you want to regret it, you can't do it. Each has its own announcement, and the salty envoy knows about it. ”
As soon as the text was issued, in order to avoid the severe cold, the Ming army, which retreated into the prefectures and counties, immediately marched to the front line.
300,000 horse infantry troops, high morale, mighty, overwhelming westward, 30,000 rampage horse army, iron hooves rolling, shaking Sanqin.
For a time, on the official road from Luoyang to the west, the army plus the people, no less than six or seven hundred thousand, the official road was covered by the flow of people, and the advancing team stretched for hundreds of miles, and the momentum was majestic, and the spit could drown the Jin army.
On February 21, the cavalry of the Ming army reappeared under the Tongguan Pass and constantly provoked the Jin army on the wall. Tongguan guards, Zhenguo Gong Tang Tong, close the gate, and stick to it.
Haoge, who was sitting in Chang'an, saw Wang Yan's text and was furious, he thought that after becoming the master of Guanzhong, he devoted himself to business and restored the people's livelihood in Guanzhong, which can be regarded as painstaking and dedicated.
When the Ming and Qing dynasties were still fighting, he had already settled Guanzhong, if it weren't for Wang Yan's hands to speculate on the price of high cotton, take the wealth of Guanzhong, create a crisis for Guanzhong, and trap the people in fire and water, the life of the people in Guanzhong would not be worse than that of the Ming Kingdom.
Anding Guanzhong has always been Haoge's more proud thing, but all this was ruined by the Ming Kingdom, and Wang Yan was actually shameless, saying that he was so angry that Haoge couldn't wait to peel that guy alive to see how thick his skin was.
The main force of the Ming army was assembled on the front line of Tongguan, and whether it could hold Tongguan was very critical for the Jin State.
At this time, Haoge was restless in Chang'an, and led 20,000 forbidden troops to Tongguan, preparing to meet Wang Yan for a while, and scolding this thief in the spot.
On February 25, Li Guo, who had been raided by Tang Tong and had been robbed of twenty Hongyi cannons, made a comeback.
This time he brought a hundred artillery pieces and lined up on the front line outside Tongguan to shell Tongguan.
At the beginning of March, Wang Yan came to the front line from Luoyang, and more than 200,000 Ming troops had gathered outside Tongguan.
The Ming army camp camped for more than 30 miles, and the flags fluttered in an endless distance, covering the sky and the sun. The camp was crowded with people, and the voices of people and horses were endless, and just looking at the momentum was scary enough.
The new soldiers of the Jin army on Tongguan, since they joined the army, have never seen such a big battle, the soldiers are frightened, only those old soldiers and generals, have experienced such a big battle, no battle, blood boiling······
