After Yang Gan finished speaking, he turned around and went back. The guard's hand holding the reins turned slightly white. It wasn't until Yang Gan's back shrank that he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped his forehead instinctively, and suddenly realized that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Not long after, when tens of thousands of infantry marched neatly and squarely into the pass, a steady stream of soldiers began to enter Luoyi.
The original camp was directly uprooted.
The guard general was on the pass, looking at such an elite army, the stone in his heart seemed to be dropped suddenly, just kidding, 50,000 people can compare with these animals?
But he was not a cover-up, his eyes were very vicious, and it could be seen that at least most of the more than 200,000 troops were Shangguo soldiers.
After learning such information, he couldn't help but admire Yang Qian.
Brother, how long has it been since you destroyed Shangguo, and now you can directly command multiple armies to pull it out?
Isn't this an international joke?
Moreover, looking at their condition, these soldiers did not seem to have any objections, and their military appearance was even more elite than what they had seen before.
However, the defender's nightmare was not over yet. Then came catapults and other ordnance, and finally the Tiger Army.
When he saw the fully armored Tiger and Ben troops, the defender's mind had turned to mush.
Haha, who am I?
where am I?
What kind of army are these?
There are many things that don't need to be fought. People who know the industry will know at a glance who is stronger and who is more inferior. It is almost clear at a glance.
After setting up camp, Yang Gan immediately ordered waterway transportation. Otherwise, the cost of land transportation was too high, which Yang Gan couldn't bear.
At least we have to wait for the last season's grain harvest to recover, and then the financial pressure will be reduced.
Next, Yang Gan summoned hundreds of officials, all of whom were preparing for Luoyi. Even though Luoyi only had one city.
Don't look at a city that Liao Guo doesn't value.
But in fact, Yang Qian had checked the information when he came. Luoyi, the capital of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, had gone through hundreds of years of improvement. No matter how dilapidated it was, it was not comparable to ordinary cities.
Leaving tens of thousands of people to stare at the Liao defenders, Yang Gan led most of the army to the vicinity of Luoyi. Yang Gan was shocked, what kind of place was this.
There are four rivers near Luoyi: Luohe, Yihe, Jianhe and Xianhe.
Among them, the Luo River and the Yi River are the two most important rivers.
If the water veins are smooth, it means that one's own warships can sail in. As long as ships such as warships can sail in, the supplies can keep up.
It's nothing more than building a temporary dock, and it doesn't matter.
If the dock is not built, that's okay. Just build the pipeline and slide the supplies out.
Shipping costs, for land transportation, are almost zero.
Because it was a strategic location, there were food roads and the cavalry could run very fast.
Yang Qian couldn't help but took his daughters and rode their horses to Luoyi City.
The token obtained from the guard can allow unimpeded entry into Luoyi City.
But what he saw in front of him made Yang Qian disappointed.
The city is very grand and covers a huge area. Chaoxian himself has never been there, but Chaoxian is slightly larger than Fuyan City.
But Luoyi City is definitely much bigger than Fuyan City.
But the city wall is very damaged, with scratches everywhere on it. It can be seen that it has gone through many wars, and there are some tenacious plants growing vigorously in the cracks of the city wall.
Those who know the industry must know that plants cannot grow in rammed soil. If plants can grow, they must lack corresponding maintenance.
Because there is Baihu Pass, there are not many defenders here. Many defenders are bored and yawning on the city.
Even many of the female walls on the city are missing.
Although it looks dilapidated, it is undeniable that the heavy historical atmosphere rushes towards you.
Yang Qian took a deep breath and walked into Luoyi City.
The road was very wide. At first glance, everyone was stunned and thought it was a square. It was rare for a street to be more than a hundred meters wide.
Even if Yuntong City has been repaired and widened several times by itself, it is still not so grand.
After wandering around until the sun went down, Yang Qian reluctantly left.
In other words, he was quite disappointed.
How could Liao Guo manage such a geomantic treasure land to this extent? Even if a dog were to serve as an official here, it would not be worse than it is now.
After wars and disasters, the infrastructure of Luoyi City has been severely damaged. The streets are dilapidated, houses have collapsed, and garbage is everywhere. The prosperity of the past is long gone.
After the death of the last emperor of the Yanhuang Dynasty, the population of Luoyi decreased sharply due to the double blow of war and disaster. The originally bustling streets became deserted, leaving only desolation and loneliness.
As an important center of culture in the Yan and Huang Dynasties, Luoyi's culture also began to decline after its ruin.
Ancient buildings and cultural relics that were originally full of cultural atmosphere gradually disappeared under the influence of war and time, causing Luoyi to lose its former glory, just like a bright pearl covered with veil, dimmed.
In terms of politics, Luoyi also lost its former status after its ruin.
The transfer of the political center caused Luoyi to lose its important status as the capital and became an ordinary city.
After all, it is impossible for the Liao State to establish a capital here. Once the capital is established here, as long as Shang State breaks through the barriers, it will face the sword.
Who dares?
Monk Shangguo of Xia State dared, but Liao State and Xingguo definitely did not have the courage.
Combining all factors, this city, which is as bright as a treasure, has been degraded like this. Looking at the dilapidated city.
Yang Qian always felt like a breath was gathering in his throat, unable to move up or down, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Touching the damaged corner of the city wall, Yang Qian seemed to feel Luoyi's wail.
In the history of his hometown, the city of Luoyi was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. Even with five thousand years of culture, Luoyi has made a mark in the history books.
It can be said that in a specific period, along with the growth of Chinese civilization, it witnessed the rise and fall of more than a dozen dynasties.
It shouldn't be treated like this.
Yang Qian's eyes gradually became determined. Luoyi must definitely restore its original status in his own hands.
"Yang Qian, let me forget it. This place is too desolate, with a population of only tens of thousands. It's too funny. Besides, there can only be one capital in the Xia Kingdom. Are you going to come up with another one?"
Seeing that Yang Qian was a little sad, Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
When Yang Qian turned around, Zhang Yumeng saw strong sadness in his eyes.
She had only seen this kind of look when she had just traveled through time.
Yang Qian took a deep breath. He was an ordinary person in his previous life, but his ability to control emotions has been greatly improved in this life.
With a little control, you can throw away the worries in your mind.
"Who told you that a country can only have one capital?"
Zhang Yumeng was stunned, "Don't all countries have only one capital?"
Don't say it, don't forget Zhang Yumeng said this, he suddenly became enlightened.
Yang Qian joked, "I'll do some popular science for you for free."
"There were several auxiliary capitals in the Shang Dynasty. In the late Yin Dynasty, four capitals were established, namely the state capital Anyang, the auxiliary capital Chaoge, the auxiliary capital Shaqiu, and the auxiliary capital Handan."
"The system of accompanying the capital was implemented during the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is Luoyang, which is still where we stand now."
"The Han Dynasty established the two-capital system, and the Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang, Northern Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republic of China dynasties all implemented the accompanying capital system."
"In general, the implementation of the capital system was to strengthen centralized rule or to respond to special political, economic and social needs."
"In fact, it is not difficult to find that even in modern cities, there are many cities that are not companion capitals but still play the role of companion capitals."
Zhang Yumeng was immediately confused by Yang Qian.
"Is there still such a thing?"
"hold head high!"
Yang Gan nodded, his hands
After a while, he smiled heartily.
"Hey, there is nothing new in the world. There is nothing new in the capital city in my childhood. There are many things, but the purpose is the same, the means are different or the order of the means is different. In fact, as long as the purpose is achieved, borrowing and learning are advisable."
"Come on, let's go back."
After such an exchange with Zhang Yumeng, Yang Qian immediately had his own concerns.
Although Zhang Yumeng was out of tune, it also led to the plan to accompany the capital.
Chaoxian Nagada, to be honest, if the Xia Kingdom was still its original land, it would indeed be suitable to be the capital.
But the Central Plains were unified, so the most suitable place to build the capital was naturally Luoyi.
But if you follow your own plan, building it in Luoyi is not a 100% answer.
Because almost everyone does not like the grassland, but he does. If a large amount of grassland is collected, then Yuntong City will be very important.
It has to be said that this is a nail, firmly nailed between the grassland and the Central Plains. Although it is not directly facing the grassland, as long as Yuntong City is there, the grassland people can only plunder, but not occupy.
In addition, the terrain near Yuntong is flat and open, which is very beneficial to urban planning and construction.
At the same time, there are mountains in the northwest of Yuntong City as a barrier, which has certain advantages in military defense and natural disaster prevention.
It is a pity that the culture and history are not prosperous enough. It is a bit difficult to be the capital of the country, but it is more than enough to be the companion capital.
After taking the girls back to the military camp, Yang Gan plunged into work, and his notebook was brought over by the army of supplies.
Yang Qian hurriedly opened several notebooks and began to search for any ancient construction drawings of Luoyang.
Unfortunately, it didn't happen. Yang Qian, unwilling to give up, began to write and draw, even though he was not a professional designer.
But after all, I have seen many drawings of the capitals of past dynasties, so I thought there would be no problem.
An hour later.
Yang Qian broke the third brush angrily.
This thing looks simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult.
Typically, you know it at first sight, but lose it as soon as you start using it.
Looking at Yang Qian, who looked a bit like a headless fly, Zhang Yumeng said helplessly.
"Hey, why don't you forget it? You have so many subordinates. It's not a simple matter to call a few people from the Mo family to design a city."
When Yang Gan heard this, he exploded and his eyes widened.
"What does it mean to be casual? How can this be casual?"
"Luoyang has more than 5,000 years of civilization history, 4,000 years of city building history, and more than 1,500 years of capital building history. 105 emperors have established their empire here."
"It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the birthplace of the Chinese nation."
"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang was the most majestic and prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty and one of the most economically developed regions, with a peak population of one million."
