Liao Shangjing was the capital established by the Khitan at the beginning of its founding, and was also the first capital in the Mobei region of ancient my country. Shangjing was the place where Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty started his business. It was surrounded by mountains and seas, and the natural dangers were sufficient for solidification, and the water and grass were suitable for livestock raising. In 916 AD, Yelu Abaoji proclaimed himself emperor in Longhua Prefecture (today's eastern part of Aohan Banner) and established the Liao Dynasty. In 918 AD, he ordered Shang Kangmoji of the Ministry of Rites to serve as the envoy to build the capital city. It took only a hundred days to take shape and was named the Imperial Capital. . After the death of Taizu of Liao Dynasty, Taizong ascended the throne and continued to build the imperial capital. In 938, Taizong changed the imperial capital to Shangjing and established Linhuang Mansion. Shangjing City is divided into two cities, north and south. The north is called the Imperial City, where the royal family lives; the south is called Hancheng, where the Han people live. The two cities are connected in the shape of "ÈÕ". The architecture and layout of the two cities are a reflection of the Liao political system of "governing Banner with national systems and treating Han people with Han systems."
Liao Shangjing consists of the imperial city and Hancheng. The circumference is about 6,400 meters, and the city walls are all built with rammed earth. The imperial city is in the north and is slightly square in shape. There are three existing city gates, horse faces are built on the city walls, and there is an urn outside the city gates. Ouchi is located in the middle of the imperial city. In the north of the center, there is a felt hall-shaped base with a round front and a back and the base of the government office. The northern part of the imperial city is an open and flat area, presumably a felt tent area. The southeast part of the city is an area of ??government offices, mansions, temples and workshops. Seoul is in the south, where Han, Bohai, Uighur and other ethnic groups and plundered craftsmen live. Its north wall is the south wall of the imperial city. There are 4 existing gates, the city walls are low, and most of the ruins in the city were washed away by the Baiyingolo River. Liao Shangjing retained many nomadic customs, attached great importance to defense, and had complete city defense facilities, which reflected the Khitan rulers' precautions against the ruled ethnic groups and had typical Khitan characteristics. .
When Ning Caichen and others entered the city, they were pointed at by the proud Khitan people with bows and arrows.
This made Xiaoqing extremely dissatisfied. "Master Ning, what do they mean?"
Ning Caichen then remembered that Xiaoqing was a snake, and snakes had a "legitimate defense" against threats. They pointed with bows and arrows, which obviously angered Xiaoqing.
The whirring sound stirred the white gauze on the face. Ning Caichen asked them to wear this white gauze. Not only Xiaoqing, but also all the women wore them.
"You can't do it without wearing it, because this is not the territory of the Han people." Being so beautiful is also a problem, because this Khitan man will not talk to you about your love. All they will do is one word, grab.
Just like now, they will point their bows and arrows, not because they know that Ning Caichen and his group are dangerous. It's not to show the high level of their bows and arrows, but just because they are from the Song Dynasty.
Ning Caichen: "They just want to be superior to others. Look at their bow hands, which are weak and weak. Even if they release such arrows, they won't be able to hurt anyone."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can can be seen as a bow and arrow.
Xiao Qing¡¯s eyes are extremely sharp. Just now I was just angry, now I'm done with it, it's like this. "They don't have any strength at all. Who are they showing off to?" Xiao Qing didn't understand.
Together with her sister, she thought she understood what human beings were, but now, she doesn¡¯t understand it anymore.
In fact, human beings under Confucianism are just special cases, and they see the world through special cases. No wonder she doesn't understand.
Ning Caichen explained: "They are looking for the word nobility."
"Noble? If you point an arrow at others, they become noble?" Xiao Qing asked.
"Haha!" Ning Caichen laughed, "Miss Qing is right. This is not what makes this person noble, but they are different. Other than that, there is no way to be noble."
Xiao Qing: "Using force to make yourself noble? Is such nobility really noble? Is this person really weird?"
"That's right! Noble people are not noble, and representatives can't represent anything This is human beings."
Xiaoqing frowned. She tried hard to understand, but she still couldn't understand anything. She couldn't understand or figure it out.
In the end she had no choice but to give up. "People are so complicated!"
Seeing this, Bai Suzhen smiled and shook her head.
Entered the outer city.
Speaking of which. It¡¯s depressing again. As an envoy of a country, I have to pay taxes when entering the city, which is of course very unpleasant.
¡°And only Han people need to pay this tax, and they don¡¯t need to pay it.
Within the city wall is an urn city, which is also a means of defense. Obviously the Khitans did not trust the Han people and were afraid that the Han people would rebel.
It¡¯s just that the Wengcheng is also the same as their bows and arrows. It¡¯s all appearance. It's not that they are not mighty, on the contrary, they are extremely mighty. Growing on the grassland, herding horses, lassoing any of these will make people stronger.
However, they lack a kind of Qi, evil spirit.
As the saying goes, there is evil spirit in the army. An army does not even have evil spirits. This is not an army, but farmers who resist swords and guns.
When there is no war, it is fine. Anyone would think that the spirit of this army is not bad. But once they come into contact, the truth is revealed.
??On the battlefield, I was in a hurry, not knowing what to do or what to do. This is insufficient training.
When the evil spirit of war rushes, they will become even more frightened, dare not fight, and turn around to escape.
There have been so many cases in history where less has defeated more, and this is mostly the case.
Many people don¡¯t understand why the side with more people loses, let alone the importance of this momentum.
But those who have actually been on the battlefield know that the battlefield and training are two completely different things.
¡°It¡¯s like this murderer kills people, but no one dares to act bravely.
Some people say this is caused by society. It is true to say this, but there is also the murderous spirit in the murderer. It will scare people and make them want to run away.
This is not because the person is timid, but because his body is warning him, just like a frog being stared at by a snake.
But the battlefield is a place where this energy is enhanced thousands of times. With this kind of momentum, the side without it will naturally lose. Just thinking about how you feel when you face thousands of murderers alone, you can understand the feelings of a recruit who has never experienced the baptism of war.
¡°This is just about momentum, plus some little skills in combat, some little skills that can never be learned in training, such as intuition for danger. The gap is even greater.
This is why veterans who have been on the battlefield look down on new recruits and do not recognize the status of their comrades. It is also the favorite opponent to choose when attacking a hostile country or training troops.
" Just like China in later generations, why do neighboring countries like to take action against it? In addition to interests, it is an excellent target for military training.
"If we just compare how many armies we have, what kind of armaments we have, and how much industrial strength the country has
¡°Then, neither the Song Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty will perish.
The army, armaments, and national strength were all superior at the time.
Just like the Khitan people today, no wonder A Gu had the courage to rebel after going to Beijing once.
They might as well not show it. The bow is drawn and the arrow is loaded, but there is no evil spirit.
Ning Caichen couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's too weak, it's all exposed, what careerist won't take action."
The evil spirit can only be felt if you have actually killed someone. Otherwise, it is just fear and fright.
?As the saying goes, insiders watch the door, while laymen watch the excitement.
But when it comes to fighting, it¡¯s all about skill. lively? Whoever gets excited will die.
After seeing the performance of the Khitans, Ning Caichen was not only not angry, but felt sad for them.
Ning Caichen originally thought that as long as he told them what happened, it would be possible to reverse history, but now it seems.
Disaster! It's really tough!
It is too difficult for a group of good citizens to defeat another group of desperate fighters.
For the new Jin people, the Liao people have become good citizens.
And once the citizens become good. Even if they know that digging a hole is a trap to kill them, they only dare to dig a hole and dare not resist.
Are you sad for his misfortune and angry for not fighting?
No, this is a change of blood, a change of heart and soul.
Ning Caichen has experienced it, so he understands. So he stopped speaking, and instead thought about what to say to Emperor Tian Zuo so that he could understand that this army could not be raised.
How to make him understand the difference between the quantity and quality of this army?
"It's a pity that it's not the future generations. If it were the future generations, if you can't break the defense after a few turns, wouldn't it be easier to explain?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I hadn¡¯t figured out a way yet, but I had already arrived at the Imperial City.
Shangjing is not too big, with a circumference of only 6,400 meters. After entering the outer city, the north wall is the south wall of the imperial city. The Baiyingolo River serves as a moat through the outer city and goes around the imperial city.
This is a very special defense. He didn't trust the Han people, so he protected the imperial city, not the entire city.
But I don¡¯t know what they think. If they don¡¯t even trust Kyoto, what else can they trust?
¡°Besides, once the outer city is breached, can the small imperial city be defended? You must know that the higher this person is, the more afraid he is of death.
No wonder this golden man is so easy to break through.
If you don¡¯t keep what you should keep, no matter how solid it is inside, how can you keep it? Eunuchs and maids? idiot.
The imperial city gate is opened and guarded by soldiers. The accompanying people could not go in with him, so Ning Caichen asked them to find a place to stay.
"Master Ning." It was General Xiao. He stopped the envoy who was about to leave.
Ning Caichen: "General Xiao, what are you doing?"
Xiao Baili clasped his fists and performed the Han ritual. "Don't get me wrong, sir. This general isLet Your Majesty take a look at the corpse of the centipede spirit and the monk. "
Ning Caichen: "Why? I'm just on a mission."
"I know I know."
This person is really stupid, and he still asks why. Of course that's a good thing. Whether it's the centipede spirit or the frozen monk, they are all capable. As the saying goes, what you hear is false and what you see is true. If you really see this, it will be easier to win His Majesty's trust.
Of course, he would not say these thoughts. In his opinion, the stupider this Song Dynasty person is, the better. Only by being stupid can he take the credit. In this way of being an official, you can give up everything else, but you have to grab the credit.
He put on a sincere smile and said: "Master Ning doesn't know something. This general has reported Master Ning's experience to Your Majesty. When Your Majesty learns, seeing is believing. It's better to let Your Majesty see the monk and the centipede first."
He said so, and Ning Caichen couldn't refuse, and Ning Caichen was also willing to let Emperor Tianzuo take a look. As Xiao said, seeing is believing, which is more useful than a thousand words. only¡¡
