Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1349 "A Call for Gold to Restore the Three Qin Dynasties"

After the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the centuries-old confrontation between the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the flooding of the Yellow River, the transport capacity of the Grand Canal has long been inferior to before.

Dadu, the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, and the canal from the south of the Yangtze River to Dadu of Yuan Dynasty have been restored to a certain extent, but the canal to Luoyang has been diverted due to the diversion of the Yellow River, and the sediment is silted up and the large ships cannot pass.

A few years ago, in order to destroy the Yuyuan army, the Qing army dug up the north of the Yellow River. The Yellow River diverted to the north and flowed into the Bohai Sea.

In order to dredge the canal again, the Yellow River must first be completely turned northward. This requires major repairs to the Yellow River waterway, the construction of a long embankment, and then draining the canal water, cleaning the silt step by step, widening the canal, strengthening the embankment, and preparing The complex ship lock system requires a huge amount of engineering, and the difficulty is even greater than that of gold mining.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the sense of accomplishment, and it can also benefit future generations.

This kind of thing is exactly what Wang is passionate about and likes, but it is really dangerous. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty accumulated 20 years of his reign, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, and the construction of the Grand Canal also caused so many troubles. It has only been nine years since the Ming Dynasty regained Nanjing, and he really can't afford it now.

Three provinces a day is the church of saints, and Wang, who followed the example of Confucius and Mencius, calmed down in his study for a while.

He felt that although Du Yinxi didn't give him face and often made him unable to get off the stage, what he said was still very reasonable.

He was in a high position, he was full of flattery and flattery around him, too many people fell in love with him, and if he heard too many good things, people would inevitably feel complacent, feel that he was really good at it, and become self-willed, and Wang Yan was no exception.

Wang Yan wanted to build this canal, but it really wasn't suitable now. We'd better wait until Jin Kingdom was destroyed and recuperate for a few years before talking about it.

Wang Yan stayed for a while, and slowly figured it out, but he remembered Du Yinxi's way of training him. After the training, Wang had to thank him for the training. Yan felt unhappy for a while.

It's just that he doesn't like to block Yinxi, that would make him appear petty and intolerant, and he really needs someone to remind him.

Although Wang Yan was not happy in his heart, but when he got angry, he became frustrated instead.

In order to show his magnanimity and gain a good reputation for being benevolent and good at accepting advice, Wang Yan still ordered someone to send a box of Korean ginseng to Du Yinxi, and told him not to be so angry, pay attention to his body, and be careful of constipation. He still needs to continue teaching.

In fact, this is not the first time Wang Yan has been angry. When he was in Nanjing, he wanted to build the Chu Palace to be more majestic and show the grandeur of a great country, but he was criticized face to face, which made him very unhappy and embarrassed, but he still thanked him later Du Yinxi's reminder.

This time, the Ming Dynasty recruited a large number of civilian husbands, which indeed affected the farming season. The people did not care about the unification war, they just knew that the court delayed their affairs and affected their interests, so there must be some complaints, but if there is no spring attack, wait for the Jin Kingdom to broadcast If the seeds are planted, sweet potatoes, land, and corn will grow, and the efforts made before the Ming Dynasty will be in vain.

Wang Yan was keen on unification. At first he thought that the whole Ming Dynasty was like this, but what Du Yinxi said made him realize that the common people were more concerned about the issue of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea and the harvest of their own fields.

He had no pressure on the unification war, and his whole body was floating, but for this war, the people contributed their food and made great efforts and sacrifices.If the people paid, but he missed and suffered a big defeat, then his prestige would plummet and he would have no way to explain to the world, which put pressure on Wang Yan all of a sudden.

After Wang Yan felt the pressure, he no longer pondered about the Grand Canal, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of cutting gold.

On February [-]th of the ninth year of Gongzhi, Wang Yan sacrificed to heaven in the outskirts of Luoyang.

The call to arms was drafted by Qian Qianyi, a leading scholar, signed and signed by Wang Yan himself, and appealed to Sanqin, saying: "In the past, Han Zuo declined, the land collapsed, and the life of the people was almost wiped out. I, Emperor Gao Zongxiang, will never change my resolve. , save half of the country, set things right, save it from falling, and create Xia in our district.”

"Yan inherited the aspirations of the former emperor, faced the great treasure of the country, and vowed to restore the territory of the Han Dynasty. Eight hundred miles away from Qinchuan, the homeland of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. Bi Yi and Di have lived here for eleven years. In Yan Guanyu, all are ministers and ministers. Chuihui, and the harmony of all nations, mourning for me in Guanzhong, only for the bandit people."

"Yan heard that during the Three Qin Dynasties, the scholars and the people were hung upside down, and the hard labor continued. Therefore, he personally led the six divisions, marched in four ways, and punished them all."

"The marching of ancient times was based on benevolence and ruled by righteousness. The teacher of the king has conquered but not fought. Therefore, Yu Shun danced with his relatives and served with seedlings. Zhou Wu had the righteousness of distributing wealth and giving out granary cousins. Today Yanshun responds to heaven. People, take control of the military chariots. Call on the Three Qin Dynasty, with the order of Ji Yuanyuan. It is not for the sake of poor military and extreme warfare, but with the ambition of a fast dynasty. In fact, the world will be united, and the people will be safe and peaceful."

"Therefore, the key point of Chen Anwei is outlined. Today, Yan leads a dignified teacher, restores the old frontier, assists the heroes, and observes the direction of heaven and man, and follows the general trend of the world, gathers strong disciples, responds to the king's teacher, and then rewards the princes. Got it, isn't it beautiful? If you don't know the current situation, you will be confused and don't turn against it. Once the soldiers are released, the jade and stone will be broken. Even if you want to regret it, there is no way. Everyone has an announcement, and it is salty to know."

As soon as the call to arms was issued, in order to avoid the severe cold, the Ming army retreated to the states and counties, and immediately marched to the front line.

The 30 horse-buoyed army, with high morale and mighty strength, marched westward overwhelmingly. The [-] horse troops rushed across the country with rolling iron hooves, shaking the Sanqin.

For a time, on the official road from Luoyang to the west, there were no less than 70 million soldiers plus civilian husbands. The official road was covered by the flow of people.

On February 21, the cavalry of the Ming army appeared under Tongguan again, constantly provoking the Jin army on the pass.The guard of Tongguan, Tang Tong, the Lord of the Town, closed the gate tightly and stood firm.

Hauge, who lives in Chang'an, was furious when he saw Wang Yan's proclamation. He thought that after he became the master of Guanzhong, he devoted himself to management and restored the people's livelihood in Guanzhong.

When the Ming and Qing Dynasties were still fighting, he had already stabilized Guanzhong. If it hadn’t been for Wang Yan to speculate on Khmer prices, steal Guanzhong’s wealth, create a crisis for Guanzhong, and trap the people in misery, the life of the people in Guanzhong would not be worse than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Stability in Guanzhong has always been something Hauge is more proud of, but all this was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yan is still shameless, saying that he wants to relieve the suffering of the scholars and the people, so angry that Hauge can't wait to strip him alive, look How thick is his skin?

The main force of the Ming army was concentrated on the front line of Tongguan. Whether Tongguan can be defended or not is very important for the Kingdom of Jin.

At this time, Hauge was restless in Chang'an, and led [-] forbidden troops to Tongguan, preparing to have a meeting with Wang Yan and scold the thief on the spot.

On February 25th, Li Guo, who was raided by Tang Tong before and took away [-] Hongyi cannons, made a comeback.

This time he brought a hundred artillery pieces, lined up outside Tongguan, and bombarded Tongguan.

At the beginning of March, Wang Yan came to the front line from Luoyang, and more than 20 Ming troops had gathered outside Tongguan.

The Ming military camps stretched for more than [-] miles, with endless banners flying as far as eye can see, covering the sky and the sun.The camp was crowded with people, and the neighing of people could be heard endlessly. Just looking at the momentum was enough to scare people.

The new recruits of the Jin Army at Tongguan had never seen such a big battle since they joined the army. The soldiers were terrified. Only those elderly soldiers and generals had experienced such a big battle. to boil...
