In the autumn of the eleventh year of Tiance, an edict that attracted the attention of the world was issued to the whole country: New Year's Day of the following year - that is, the twelfth year of Tiance - will be the official day for the new capital Beijing to move into.
There will definitely be a large-scale ceremony on the day of the official move-in, but it is impossible for all residents to wait until that day to move in. Before the edict was issued, new residents had actually moved in in the residential area one after another - mainly the military dependents of the Tang Army from Tiance. After the decree was promulgated, government departments and businesses in Youzhou also sent people to the city to tidy up their new homes.
The new capital layout is grand. In terms of general direction, it still retains the aesthetic design of the Chinese capital construction of "nine warps and nine latitudes, nine warps and nine rails, and the ancestors on the left and the society on the right", but it has been modified according to actual needs. The palace is still the core of the entire capital, but at Zhang Mai's insistence, the regulations of the harem have changed, and the large royal gardens have become semi-public facilities.
The regulations of the administrative areas generally echo the existing administrative system of the Tang Dynasty: the emperor's palace is located in the north and faces south; the rectification platform is located in the middle of the capital, facing north; the central government system is in the east, and combined with it is bound to become more and more important. There are huge administrative agencies of various sizes; the privy military system is in the west, corresponding to various large and small campuses, military research institutes, weapons manufacturing plants, military schools and the three camps of the Forbidden Army; the academic system centered on the Hanlin Academy is in the northeast, Corresponding to this is an academy system that is even larger than the Kucha Academy Jungle; the legal and supervisory system centered on the court and the supervisory platform is in the northwest; and to the south of the supervision platform, there are large-scale residential areas and businesses. district.
The construction of the entire capital city, including the smoothing of nine vertical and nine horizontal roads, has been completed. Palaces, ancestral temples, government and other official facilities, as well as civilian residences for meritorious military personnel, are funded by financial allocations. The construction of commercial and residential areas is left to the private sector in accordance with the capital's planning. Overall, Word. The square-city structure of cities in the Han and Tang dynasties was abandoned and converted to a street system.
The city defense system still includes city gates, city walls, city towers and moats - however, only nine city towers and moats have been completed, and the rest of the fortifications are still under construction - the current Tiance Tang Dynasty is in an offensive state of external expansion, even if the Khitan is approaching When the news in Yanjing was at its worst, Yang Yi was not at all afraid that something would happen to the new city where tens of thousands of Tang army family members lived.
If you follow the complete plan. It may take thirty years for the new capital to be completely completed. What has been completed now can only be regarded as the first phase of the project. The various facilities are enough to enable the new capital to operate well. Unlike the construction of capitals in previous dynasties, this time's capital construction, in addition to driving hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, almost all of them were useless and free of charge in the country. Workers must be paid, and materials must be paid. Therefore, although the construction of the new city this time cost a lot of government finances, it has stimulated a huge business chain.
After the decree was promulgated, those merchants and gentry who had not yet built urban houses but had obtained land also stepped up the construction of houses in various streets.
Before New Year’s Day. The first batch of residents who moved in - including various floating populations - are conservatively estimated to exceed 100,000. In this era, except for China, a population of 100,000 is considered a large city, but Compared with this huge empire that is still in its infancy, its population of 100,000 is just at its beginning.
————————
At the same time, news also came from the West - the Generalissimo is coming back!
Feng Dao and others are already revising the wording, preparing to support Zhang Mai on the throne as soon as he comes back. Now the biggest enemy has been eliminated. The deserts thousands of miles away have been surrendered, and the Eastern Hu and Western Regions have been unified. As for the separatist regimes in Jiangnan and Western Shu. In the eyes of the people, compared to the great power of Tiance and the Tang Dynasty, they are just bones in the grave. As long as an imperial edict is passed down to the south, it can be passed down. If the imperial edict is not followed, the army will suppress the country and wipe out the country in one fell swoop! The Khitan, which has the strength of mountains and seas, and the sharpness of skins, have all been defeated, let alone Southeast, which was scattered into four or five pieces!
At this time. Zhang Mai's ascension to the throne is simply in line with God's will and people's will! Not only the Confucian scholars, but also businessmen, soldiers, and all religions and tribes all felt this. The generalissimo should fulfill his title and rule the world!
However, Zhang Mai's team stopped when they arrived in Liangzhou and issued a call. All the old troops in Anxi were asked to put down what they were doing and rush to Chang'an to meet up before the beginning of winter.
This is not an order, but a call
But all the old people in Anxi who heard the news were even more excited than receiving the order. From the general Yang Yi to the unknown veterans at the lowest level, they reached Liaojin in the east, Shule in the west, Dongting in the south, and Huanglong in the north. As long as everyone who could go away heard the news, even Yang Dingguo, who was already ill, decided to help the sick and rush there - but Yang Yi, as the son of a man, did not stop him!
Yang Dingguo could no longer walk, so he used 16 people to carry a large bed out of Youzhou City, transported it to the dock in the smoothest carriage, and then turned to the canal to go south.
Tiance has decided to rebel in Mobei and pacify Liaodong. The country's prestige is even greater than before, and it has experienced a war.Hebei, which was threatened by war, actually became more stable after the war. The commercial flow that was originally suppressed by the panic of the war had another small blowout after the war. The monsoon was heading south, and the fleets of Liaojin and Tianjin were taking advantage of the monsoon. The spoils of war from the Northeast were transported to the Southeast as a new batch of bulk goods, and the canal boats were flowing north. However, it was heard that Yanjing would establish a new capital and Xuzhou had been officially included in the territory. Countless merchants took the opportunity to go north to take advantage of this event that would surely shock the world. Extravaganza.
When Yang Dingguo was sailing southward, he occasionally opened the boat window and saw numerous large and small river merchant ships heading north like flowing water. He couldn't help sighing with relief that this country was becoming more prosperous step by step.
After arriving in Henan, he abandoned the ship and went ashore. The rest of the journey was hard for Yang Dingguo, but the closer he got to Chang'an, the more energetic he became. He kept saying to his grandson Yang Hua all the way: "This little journey is worth it." What! Thinking about the time when we crossed the Suiye Desert, defeated the Talas three times, smuggled across the Uighurs, fought with the Uighurs while climbing over the Congling Mountains, deceived the Shule garrison nine times, and defeated the Uighurs, then it is called a dangerous and dangerous road! These roads , what does it matter!"
As others get older, some of their memories begin to become confused. Over the years, stories about the Tang Army’s Eastern Expeditions in Anxi have become more and more popular. Of course, as word of mouth has spread more and more legends, the realism has shrunk. Yang Dingguo and this group of Anxi old people have nothing to do. Lai Wushi's favorite thing was to listen to Bianwen storytellers in teahouses and taverns. As an eyewitness of the Tang army's thousands-mile eastward expedition in Anxi, he could not help but privately point out some of the stories the storytellers made up at first, but later he listened to them more. Even the memories in his mind were tampered with.
Yang Hua was young, and he was happy to see his grandfather, who was originally in poor health, getting better and better along the way, but he didn't know that this was a sign of coming back.
After entering the Guanzhong Plain, the carriages and horses turned to the waterway and went upstream, and soon arrived near Chang'an. Yang Yi, Zheng Wei, Guo Fen and others came by land. Arriving later, Zhang Mai and I were already waiting at the pier. On the south bank of the Weihe River, thousands of people stood in military formations - this was all the people in Tiance's entire Tang Dynasty that could be reached. Hundreds of them were already gray-haired, and there were thousands of childish children. Some teenagers were on an expedition. Still in his infancy on the road. Now they have all grown up, and those children under the age of ten are the new generation born after migrating eastward.
Guo Luo, Yang Yi, Zheng Wei and Lu Jialing each took one of their sons and carried Yang Dingguo and his bed from the ship. Zhang Mai and Guo Fen, as well as the eldest son and the prince, led all the old Anxi tribes. On the pier, they shouted in unison: "Please ask the Deputy Chief Protector for a military parade!"
Deputy Chief Protector!
Deputy Protector of Anxi!
This was Yang Dingguo’s official when he was in the Western Regions!
Yang Dingguo knew that his body could not be overjoyed or sad, so he held back his tears, but some old people in Anxi were already wailing.
This cry is not sadness, but a feeling of ultimate satisfaction in life.
Thinking back to the time when they were trapped in the Extinct Territory, Guo Shidao was known as the Protector of Anxi, and Yang Dingguo was known as the Deputy Protector of Anxi, but they only had a small New Suiye City. At that time, even he thought it was ridiculous to be called the Protector of Anxi. But who would snicker now? Everyone took it for granted, and even the titles of Anxi Grand Protector and Deputy Grand Protector became one of the most glorious titles in the dynasty.
Reality can always modify history. If the descendants live up to their expectations, their ancestors will become even more great. If their descendants fail to live up to their expectations, the historical evaluation of their ancestors will also be lowered. Greece and Rome after the Renaissance were the former. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties were the latter. However, in this time and space, perhaps everything will change.
——————————
In the late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was destroyed.
Recently, after Liu Zhiyuan moved in, a lot of fortifications were built. Today's Chang'an City is completely different from the grand scene of the Sui and Tang Dynasties when it was surrounded by eight rivers and where all nations came to visit!
However, this does not prevent thousands of old Anxi troops from remembering him.
Chang'an. Chang'an, this is a holy place in the hearts of the Anxi Tang Army. No matter how she looks now, in the minds of all Tang people, she will always be the irreplaceable spiritual capital of this nation!
Liu Zhiyuan’s subordinates have all been cleared out three hundred miles away by Guo Wei. Chang'an City is now dominated by the New Tang Army. Everyone dismissed the newly built fortifications and rushed directly to the remaining former Tang city wall in the northwest.
Yang Dingguo stepped out of bed tremblingly with the support of Zhang Mai and Guo Luo. He called Zhang Mai "special envoy" and looked at Guo Luo. Guo Luo, who had grown a beard, looked more like Guo Shidao in middle age. Whether on purpose or out of confusion, he called out "Daduhu", and then he suddenly knelt down on the ground, picked up a handful of weathered soil dust from the old city wall, held it in his mouth, and laughed loudly: "Chang'an! Chang'an! We are back! Old brothers! Have you seen it? We are back"
His smile suddenly froze.?, the whole person was motionless, Yang Yi already understood what was going on, and kept his father crying loudly, crying and laughing at the same time, laughing and crying at the same time.
Zhang Mai held Yang Dingguo's body and looked at Guo Luo, Yang Yi, Zheng Wei, Lu Jialing, Xue Fu, Li Bin, Shi Ba, Shi Jian, Murong Chunhua take a look My own children, look at Xi Zhong, Guo Song, Yang Hua, Xi Zhong
The leaders of the older generation have passed away, and the successors of the new generation will also grow up.
Chang'an under your feet is already a land that carries the glory and suffering of yesterday, and the new city offshore will open a more glorious tomorrow!
He pulled out his horizontal sword and began to carve on the old city wall, which was still standing after countless wars, the sixteen words that had been carved on the ruined walls of Xin Suiye City in the Western Region:
Strong winds are blowing wildly, sweeping thousands of miles. Wherever Yan and Huang are, it is the Tang Dynasty!
