Chapter 670: The thousand-year-old imperial capital is Chang'an

Just when the five sons of Dongzhou, Mo Yufang and the two daughters of Lanyue were heading north by boat, Wang Yue and a group of twelve people they were looking for had already arrived at Chang'an Mansion, one of the three major cities in Central Continent, two thousand miles away from Qizhou City, after nearly a month of travel.

Almost all the way they went up the Yellow River.

As we all know, the waterway has always been the preferred mode of transportation for long-distance travel, compared to the bumps on the land road and the night, as well as the delay in the recovery of the horse's physical strength, the waterway is much more stable, and the boat in the water, generally can continue to sail more than once, at the same time neither feeding nor rest, only need to prepare sufficient provisions, several groups of boatmen take turns day and night shifts, theoretically speaking, the boat can travel a long time and a long distance.

At the same time, the load of the ships is much larger than that of the carriages, and the cost of a fleet of more than a dozen carriages will be much higher than that of a fleet transporting the same amount of goods.

As for the ships that Wang Yue and the twelve of them took this time, it happened to be when Wang Yuelong, Su Ningshuang, Hou Xiaohu, and the three sisters of the Huanxi Sect went north to the capital together, and they were still on the vehicles and ships of the fleet controlled by Wang Rensong, the chief captain and captain of the escort team, a key member of the Dezhou Alliance.

Of course, when Wang Yuelong's guy was riding the car and ship of the car and ship fleet, he practiced the newly realized "Tianlong Sword Technique" for a while

The first form "Celestial Dragon Breath"

, which caused damage to the hull of the car and ship, so after sending off Wang Yuelong and returning to Texas City, the one was numbered "Long Jiao" in the entire fleet of vehicles and ships

The most advanced and luxurious cars and ships were returned to the factory for maintenance.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as the "dragon Jiao"

The ship was unlucky, and in the more than ten years that it had served the fleet of the Five Merchants League, it had also encountered countless plunders by bandits on the river, and there were many collisions with other ships, as well as various accidents and injuries.

No matter which time, it was not as damaging as Wang Yuelong's time.

So after the dragon Jiao ship had to return to the factory for maintenance, this repair was directly out for half a year.

When Wang Yuelong went north to the capital in early February, the dragon Jiao ship put down Wang Yuelong and returned to Dezhou City to return to the factory for maintenance in mid-February, which was repaired until the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and it was considered to be back in service.

Of course, the fleet of vehicles and ships of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance controlled by Wang Rensong is not just a car and ship of the Dragon Jiao Ship.

In fact, the wealthy fleet of the Five Merchants Alliance currently has a total of 50 vehicles and ships of different types in service.

Of course, just like the dragon ship, which relies on the skill of the delicate and complex structure as the driving force, only four people can be maneuvered freely, and the entire fleet is only nine, of which except for the dragon dragon ship, which is used for both military and civilian purposes, the other eight are purely military ships.

The remaining forty-one vehicles and ships are still driven by manpower, although it consumes a lot of labor, but the maintenance cost is much less than that of the nine ships such as the dragon Jiao ship.

Wang Yue and them went west to Qingyang Mansion, took the waterway, went all the way up the Yellow River, arrived at Chang'an City through Weishui, and then transferred to the northwest to go to Qingyang Mansion by horse-drawn carriage.

Although Wang Yue and the twelve people are not the core children of the five major families of the Five Business Alliance, as long as there are Wang Yuehe, He Minjie and Zhang Chengwei, the most advanced and luxurious dragon Jiao ships in the fleet will naturally be used again.

Of course, compared to Wang Yuelong's trip north to the capital, the Dragon Jiao ship was a fleet of four ships, and this time Wang Yue and their fleet had fewer ships, only one Dragon Jiao ship and one ordinary car ship.

However, Wang Rensong's chariot and ship escort team came with a full 1,000 people.

First of all, it is to go west along the Yellow River, and after passing the Daimyo Mansion of the Ancient Hebei and Zhao Regions, it is from Dongzhou to the territory of Zhongzhou, and the forces of the Five Merchants Alliance are only some small contact points and intelligence stations there, and there is no longer a situation where the forces of the Five Merchants Alliance control a state capital, a county, a township, and a village.

Secondly, a few months ago, when the World Heroes Meeting was held, the King of Jin in Taiyuan Mansion rebelled, although the Jin Wangjun was soon surrounded by several "righteous men of the rivers and lakes"

At the same time, he also abducted and took away 500 elite soldiers, which also made the rebellion of the Jin Wangjun a tiger-like trend, but the other princes with real power in various places rose up one after another, and responded to the rebellion of the Jin Wangjun.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been rich and full of soldiers and incidents, and there have been more than 20 powerful princes who have been sealed here, all of whom have rebelled against the central imperial court, and nearly 100,000 rebels have been fighting against the officials and troops on the land of Zhongzhou.

No one thought that this time the scale of the collective rebellion of the princes with real power in the outer seal against the central imperial court would be so large that Wang Rensong had to bring some more guards to escort Wang Yue and the twelve people to the west.

Fortunately, although the main body of influence of the Five Merchants Alliance is in the land of Dongzhou, as a businessman, the business scope of the Five Merchants Alliance covers five continents and four places.

Many of the rebellious princes with real power also had close trade contacts with the Five Merchants Alliance, so under the banner of the King of Qizhou of the Five Merchants Alliance, Wang Rensong's fleet still went up the Yellow River all the way up to Weishui without danger, and sent Wang Yue and them to Chang'anfu, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

The ancient city of Chang'an, after thirteen dynasties, including the five major Chinese in the history of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, when they were unified and strong, they all took Chang'an as the capital.

Since the death of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an has never been used as the imperial capital of the central imperial court, and the huge Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang dynasties in the past has been seriously damaged for various reasons, leaving only the imperial city area of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which has been used to this day.

It can be said that Chang'an City's more than 7,000 years of civilization history, more than 3,000 years of city history and more than 1,200 years of capital history can make Chang'an City "the first city in China"

But now, Chang'an, the weather-beaten ancient capital, is experiencing a huge turmoil, just because when Wang Yue and them arrived in Chang'an City, the central imperial court divided the hereditary Qin King in Chang'an City, and ordered the 30,000 Qin royal army under his command to firmly block Chang'an.
