Overlord!

Chapter 180 Conquering Zhuge Liang's Path
Moling County in Danyang County is also the location of the most famous Jiankang City in later generations, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

From Jiankang City on the bank of the Yangtze River to the Central Plains in 2000, after any army marched into Jiankang in a mighty manner, it will become a major event that affects the trend of history and opens up a new era of the situation.

The advance of soldiers into Jiankang often means that the regime in the south has changed again.

Here is really too strategic value, economic value and shipping value.

Therefore, after Sun Ce led the navy fleet to Moling County, he stationed the army on the riverside.

The current city of Moling City is on the land in the south, about a hundred miles away from the river bank, which is not conducive to waterway transportation, nor is it conducive to military defense, guarding the river.

Sun Ce personally appointed Zhuge Jin to be fully responsible for rebuilding a new city of Jiankang on the riverside of Moling City, which he thought would be the seat of Jiangnan.

After Sun Ce led the army to arrive here, while waiting for Xu Huanghui to report the war, he immediately recruited Zhuge Jin to learn about the city inspection.

Sun Ce was very concerned about the construction of the city here, so he climbed up Zhongshan himself to observe the situation of the mountains and rivers.

Looking north from Zhongshan Mountain, you can see the vast Xuanwu Lake, and looking west, you can see the famous Bailuzhou in later generations.If it is in the later generations, the ponds here will be ruled, the accumulated soil will be mountains, the islands will be ridges and peaks, the flowers will be blooming, and the falling flowers will be colorful.A gust of wind blows, and under the bright and warm sunshine, the air is full of floating petals and flying catkins.It can be described as the ultimate scenery, a paradise on earth.

But now there are still barren hills and weeds everywhere, even if there is a beautiful view of "three mountains and half falling into the blue sky, and two rivers dividing Bailuzhou", no one appreciates it.

So Sun Ce always thought that Jiangnan had great potential for development, and it was just north of Moling County, just a hundred miles away, along the Yangtze River.

There is no such thing as miasma or plague.

After Sun Quan built his capital here, the food in one county of Danyang alone could feed the people in several counties in Jiangdong!And Jiankang is extremely prosperous because it is located in the economic, cultural and political center.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the time when Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, how much time gap can there be?The conditions for development here are fully met.

The key lies in whether you are willing to devote energy to develop Jiangnan on a large scale.

Since the Jin Dynasty, the prosperity of Jiankang has far exceeded that of the war-torn northern Central Plains.It is difficult for Sun Ce to agree that the south cannot be developed, especially Danyang and Wujun.

It's just man-made.Others can develop it, so can I.

I can also build the Jiankang City, which is "majestic, clean and unfiltered, with four roads, extensive and flat. There are towers and halls, like mountains, solemn and subtle, like a palace in heaven", there are differences in a city One hundred thousand households.

If Jiangdong can restore Yangzhou's population of 460 million before the war, its economic strength, population strength, and military strength will far exceed that of the North.

This should not be difficult. According to the level of Wu County and Danyang County, they can become the foundation of Sun Ce's hegemony, and the population of a county can easily exceed one million.In addition, the cumulative population of 200 million in Yuzhang, Kuaiji, Wuxing and even Lujiang, Guangling and other places.

If Jianghuai and Jingyang can be one, there must be a population of 400 million.Cao Cao ran to dominate the broken north, and Sun Ce could also compete with him for hegemony in the Central Plains.

While Sun Ce was thinking, Jiang Qin approached and reported: "General, Zhuge is here, do you want to meet him?"

Sun Ce glanced at him, frowned, and asked, "Didn't I summon him? Why do you have to ask more questions?"

Jiang Qin murmured: "The army is at war with Zhuge Xuan, I'm afraid Zhuge will engage in..."

Before he could continue, Sun Ce said sharply, "I immediately respectfully welcome Zhuge Shi to this point. How can I be rude if I firmly believe that Zhuge is loyal?"

Jiang Qin immediately bowed his hands, and after a while, he personally led Zhuge Jin to Sun Ce's side.

Sun Ce went up to meet him, and said, "Scholar Jiezhou, if you don't know you and my ruler and ministers know each other, and act recklessly, don't mind Ziyu."

Zhuge Jin was broad-minded, gentle and elegant, shook his head with a smile, and said: "The soldiers are just sticking to their duties. I am fighting Jiangdong from my father. Jin should really avoid taboos."

Sun Ce said solemnly and solemnly: "Ziyu has a pure personality, is loyal to the country, and Gu believes in it. Gu and Ziyu are close friends, and it is beyond words. Qingyu lives up to Gu, just like Gu Don't let me down! Regarding Qing's obedience to his father, if he is alone, he will not harm him. I would like to invite you to be Jiangdong's honorable guest."

Zhuge Xuan, of course Sun Ce must treat him kindly!

Not only for Zhuge Jin, but also for Zhuge Liang.

I don't know how the Zhuge family cultivated talents. Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang both have pure temperaments and are loyal to the country.It can be said that he is eloquent and eloquent, and he is generous and benevolent.The sound of the thunder is silenced, and spring is born in Zeguo.They are all talents of the ages.

To be able to cultivate this kind of offspring, their family style must not be too bad.

If both Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin were confiscated by Jiangdong, they would be honored as honored guests and live in Jiankang or Wu County.

Can Zhuge Liang still go far?

Sun Ce is not Cao Cao. He has no enmity with the Zhuge family, and he does not slaughter the people. He is cruel and tyrannical.Zhuge Liang has no reason not to die in Jiangdong.

The big man also ruled the world with filial piety. His uncle and elder brother were all in Jiangdong. He would never do unfilial things. He broke up with his uncle and elder brother and lived alone in Jingzhou.

What's more, Sun Ce now wants to prosper Huanwen's hegemony and re-establish the world, which overlaps with Zhuge Liang's ambitions.

He was the most, moved to live in Jiangdong, and was not expropriated by Sun Ce.But as long as it does not live in other places and is used by other princes, the influence is not too great, Sun Ce can take it easy.

What's more, he is still an uncrowned child who is still studying, and the three views have not yet formed, so he can exert influence.

Sun Ce remembers very clearly that his values ​​and outlook on life were completely reshaped and condensed in the university.

As long as he finds a good teacher, such as Chen Ji and Zhang Zhao, Sun Ce believes that it is not impossible to conquer Zhuge Liang.

And Zhuge Jin bowed to Sun Ce solemnly when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you, General Jin, for your generosity."

Zhuge Jin was also very difficult to do. During the Xuzhou Rebellion, he was separated from his uncle and others. As soon as he arrived in Jiangdong, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, when news came that his uncle led troops to attack Jiangdong. The battlefield was in Linjun.

Jiang Dong's civil and military officials will inevitably point and discuss things behind him.

He was already considering whether to temporarily resign from Marquis Wu and hand over the heavy responsibility to others.

But now hearing Wu Hou's generous words, he was immediately inspired by it, and immediately took a step forward, pointing to the distance, pointing to the country.

"General, for the past half a year, I have been here to investigate the situation of mountains and rivers and plan the layout of the city wall."

"In my opinion, the topography of Moling, Zhongshan Longpan, Xuanwu Huju, this emperor's residence. Jiankang City should be built on the west side of the river. This is the last section of the Yangtze River to the north. After passing Jiankang, it will be Turn to the eastward flow of the great river."

Sun Ce nodded slightly. The reason why Jiangdong is called Jiangdong instead of Jiangnan is because the water potential of the Yangtze River in Danyang has always been north-south. It will not turn into the east-west direction of the Yangtze River until it passes Moling County and enters Jiangcheng. trend.

Zhuge Jin's plan is to build Jiankang City at this corner, so that the entire waterway can be contained and controlled, and the military can have a solid rear defense line. Whether the enemy forces attack from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River or attack from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River .

As long as Jiankang City is still standing firm, there will be a solid line of defense, and the enemy cannot break through, and our side can obtain a steady stream of supplies from the other direction of the channel.

The defense of Jiankang City will be Stalingrad in the Central Plains.The defenders have always had access to supplies and support from the waterways.

Sun Ce was not so arrogant, thinking that the capital could have no defenses and no city walls.

No matter how powerful a dynasty is, there will be a day of decline and corruption. Various accidental factors and black swan events may lead to the enemy's army approaching the city.

But a solid city defense can give future generations the greatest reliance to tide over difficulties, and it is possible to usher in a ZTE like Datang.

Otherwise, like the Northern Song Dynasty, the capital is on a large plain with no danger to defend. An accidental black swan incident caused the dynasty to collapse suddenly in the midst of its prosperity.The demise caught people off guard. The year before last, the country had a large army, and the land was opened for thousands of miles. In the capital, everything was beautiful and people were harmonious, and Luo Qi was fragrant. In just two or three years, the dynasty suddenly came to an end and the king was captured.

Economically, Jiankang City was built in this location, which is also convenient for waterway passage and water patterns.No matter whether merchant ships transport materials from upstream or downstream, they don't need to go through the detours of the channel, just proceed directly.

The Shibo Department was established here, which could control the main roads and levy taxes on the entire golden waterway, so that no ship could escape by chance.

After choosing the location, Sun Ce asked, "How big do you think Jiankang City can be built?"

This point is still very important. Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, has a problem with the site selection. Its terrain is too narrow to accommodate too many people, so the urban development of Luoyang is very limited.

Jiangnan naturally has advantages over the north in the development of agriculture, industry, and commerce. As long as Jiangdong can stabilize and fully develop.

The Jiankang area, Wu County, and Wuxi area can develop rapidly at any time, including the present, and become prosperous and prosperous, becoming the economic, cultural, and political center of the entire south of the Yangtze River.

Once the prosperity here is developed, it will take off quickly, far away from the north at an extremely fast speed, and finally become the wealth center of the world and the land of abundance.

The granaries of Europe and the black soil of Brazil are far worse than here.This is a county of Fengren, which can supply the whole world.Since ancient times, water transport has been continuously used to transport massive amounts of materials and wealth to the north.

The richness produced by the mountains and seas, the goods of the four vassals, the rare treasures, the merchants traveling from all directions, and thousands of miles away, all are gathered here.Eighty-nine of the world's taxes come from the southeast.

Therefore, in the long run, the prosperity here will increase rapidly, and it is necessary to ensure that the city has sufficient development potential and can continue to expand.

Zhuge Jin immediately replied: "Jiankang is adjacent to Zhongshan Mountain in the east, Qinhuai River in the south, Dajiang River in the west, and Xuanwu Lake in the north. I thought that the city should be built on the bank of Xuanwu Lake in the early stage, leaning against the great river in the west, bordering Xuanwu Lake in the north, and surrounding the city forty miles.”

Sun Ce immediately looked to Xuanwu Lake in the north. If the city was built on the lake, it would be a bit like Tang Chang'an. Tang Chang'an had Qujiang Pond and Furong Garden relying on the city defense, which was beautiful for a while.

However, Qujiang Lake in Chang'an is in the south of the city, and Xuanwu Lake in Jiankang is in the north of the city.

The surrounding area of ​​forty miles is not small, as big as the outer city of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty.

You must know that there is an inner city in Tokyo in the Song Dynasty. Before that, it was a complete city built by the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty established its capital here, it felt small and expanded an outer city.

So forty miles around, a city in Tokyo in the Song Dynasty accommodated millions of people.

If Jiankang had millions of people in one city, it would be a crushing blow to the whole world.

The reason why a city can accommodate such a large population is inseparable from the demolition of Fangshi in the Song Dynasty, which not only prospered industry and commerce, but also greatly increased the usable area in the city.

Jiankang's Jiancheng will definitely not build Fangshi again, and the population will definitely exceed the 30 people of Chang'an, the great Han Dynasty.

But it may not be possible to accommodate a million people like Tokyo.

All the weights and measures of the main Song Dynasty were large, and one stone, one mile, and one catty were larger than those of other dynasties.

The same forty miles around, Jiankang City still can't reach the scale and level of Song Dynasty.

However, Sun Ce is very cheerful. Due to the current level of wealth, Jiangdong's Jiankang City may not be as good as that of Song Dynasty Tokyo, but with the prosperity of Jiangdong, the city can still be expanded in the future.

Sooner or later, it will become the largest city in ancient and modern China and abroad, with the largest population and the most prosperous wealth.

So Sun Ce smiled and said to Zhuge Jin: "Yes, start building the city according to Qing's plan. Now build a city with a circumference of 140 miles. Maybe in the future, children and grandchildren can expand it to [-] miles around, [-] miles around, and [-] miles around. The giant city in the city!"

Zhuge Jin nodded heavily, why Jiangdong Wenwu is willing to follow Wuhou, isn't it because of Wuhou's open-minded demeanor?Everyone who follows him will be able to see a hopeful future!

Then Zhuge Jin continued to introduce: "The west of Jiankang City can be used as a military barrier. There is Zhapu in the local area, which can be built as Zhapu base to station water troops. There is Bailuzhou in the distance, which can be used as a scenic spot or a military camp. They are horns with Jiankang City."

"The south of the city is connected to the Huai River, and can be used to develop shops, communicate with the city, and serve as residences and pavilions."

This Huai River is not the Huai River, but the famous Qinhuai River.

There are not only cruise ships and famous courtesans, but also the most important waterway and commercial and handicraft center in the entire south of the Yangtze River.

With the Qinhuai River as waterway transportation, the copper and iron mined from Danyang can reach Jiankang directly, and the grain, silk, celadon, and paper from the Sanwu area can also be transported very conveniently.

So in the Jin Dynasty, there were more than a hundred big cities and more than ten small cities north of the Huai River.

This is wealth!Moreover, it is wealth that the government can directly expropriate by force!
