choke element

Chapter 68
It has been a long time since the big dream that Guo Ning had, and the memory of the dream began to blur.As time went by, Guo Ning became less and less sure whether the miraculous knowledge in the dream was true or not.After all, the life in front of him is undeniable, so the dream is really just a dream.

The biggest benefit that that big dream brought to Guo Ning is not the understanding of the future, but the unspeakable vision, so that he will not be short-sighted and locked in the immediate crisis at any time.

For others, Anzhou's problems must be solved in Anzhou.But Guo Ning is not limited by this. Others are in the game, but their perspective is higher than that of the outsider, and they dare to make moves in a bigger game.

And Guo Ning is also very decisive, he makes a decision very quickly.

This is a character shaped by many years of military career and countless births and deaths.

In the eyes of the low-level soldiers who are facing life and death, any decision is better than no decision.For any decision to be implemented, it still has to rely on fighting.As for whether the results are good or bad, maybe the top officials thought it was due to strategizing, but in the eyes of the soldiers below, they all fought with their lives.

Take for example a casino.Those noble people with status and status are gamblers with rich social status. When they face the gambling situation, they will inevitably worry about gains and losses, and repeatedly calculate the pros and cons. If they are not sure, they dare not act rashly.On the contrary, it is a soldier who has nothing, except for the knife in his hand and the head on his neck, there is nothing else.Throw the dice, and if you win, you will have gold and silver seas, which are enough to help you achieve great things.If you lose...

It is impossible to bet and admit defeat.If you lose, you will show your fists, draw out your knives, overturn the gaming table, smash the casino, chop down a few rogues and walk away.Who can help me?

Speaking of this, Guo Ning looked at his subordinates with a smile, and pointed forward with a whip.

The direction of his whip was the towering and continuous deep black city wall at the end of the eastern horizon: "The casino is ahead, everyone, let's go and play."

Following his pointing, everyone looked at the indescribably magnificent city in the distance.

That is the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, the central capital of Daxing Mansion.

Daxing Mansion, the central capital, has been the seat of Youzhou since ancient times. In the heyday of Tang Dynasty, this place was the leading town in the north, and it was the residence of Fan Yang Jiedushi.In the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun fell into the hands of the Liao people. The Liao people then took Youzhou as the Youdu Prefecture of Nanjing, and then changed it to the Xijin Prefecture of Yanjing, and set up Nanmian officials to rule Hanerzhou County, Zufu , military horses and so on.This place then served as the administrative center of the northern ethnic groups in Han, and it continues to this day.

After the rise of Dajin, the Privy Council of Han was established in Yanjing at the beginning, and later it was changed to Xingtai Shangshu Province. The famous general Wanyan Zongbi also led Xingtai and Shuaifu, and governed the military and political affairs of Han in the Central Plains.

Later, when King Hailing was in power, he had severe conflicts with the nobles of the Jurchens in the interior, and he had a deep Sinicization. The scale of Bianjing in the former Song Dynasty, Yanjing was expanded, and the imperial palace was built.

In the two years before and after, 80 civilians and 40 soldiers were invested, and it became a great city in the world.

In the first year of Zhenyuan, the construction of the city was completed, and King Hailing changed Yanjing to Daxing Mansion, the central capital. temple.

In the next few decades, the country of Daikin is growing day by day.As far as Emperor Zhangzong was concerned, Nie Song added coins to beg for alliances, hindered Bu Ge's heart and followed suit, served Yinxia in the west, and Fu Chenhan in the east.

On the territory of thousands of miles, the countless wealth of billions of people gathered here from all directions, and the central capital Daxing Mansion became the well-deserved capital of the Dajin Kingdom, and it is also one of the few prosperous cities in the world.

It is said that when building Zhongdu, soil was taken from Zhuozhou, and wood was taken from Zhending.In order to transport civil engineering, hundreds of miles of roads in Hebei were specially widened, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were lined up along the road, carrying earth and rocks in bamboo baskets, and after they were transported to Zhongdu for unloading, the empty baskets were passed back to Zhuozhou, repeating the cycle.

Whether this was the case at that time, I am afraid that you have to ask the old people in the country to find out.But the road from Hebei to Zhongdu is really wide and straight. Guo Ning and others rode and rode, and it took only three days to travel [-] miles from Wocheng County to Zhongdu. The transportation is convenient.

At this time, a group of people reined in the Wochang Bridge, and some people looked at the majestic city and praised it; others looked around and saw the burned ruins and ruins stretching for miles; Decaying corpses.

The location of Guangli Bridge is an important place for business travel between the north and the south.At both ends of the long bridge, there are naturally prosperous markets.However, these bazaars were completely destroyed when they faced the Mongolian forward twice last year and the year before.

It can be seen that these destructions have nothing to do with the Mongols, but the result of the Central Capital defenders fortifying the walls and clearing the fields and gathering combat supplies.

All the tall buildings were demolished, and the wood was transported to the city to build enemy buildings and regiment buildings, while the scattered wood was transported into the city as fuelwood, and the rest were burned.

Even on the Guangli Bridge across the Yongding River, the exquisitely carved pillars and railings, and the extremely heavy bridge stones are missing a lot, presumably also damaged by the defenders.

However, how much the Mongolian army's front was hindered by this, who can answer?
Judging from the experience of Guo Ning and others fighting in Jiehao, the only result of doing so is probably to give the defenders some psychological comfort.

On the other side of the long bridge, Li Ting and Cui Xiannu hurried over.

Li Ting said triumphantly, "Mr. Guo! The estate has been properly arranged!"

"Okay." Guo Ning nodded: "Then, everyone, let's settle down at the manor of Governor Tudan. This is also thanks to Steward Cui's assistance, thank you!"

Cui Xiannu nodded and bowed to everyone, smiling uglier than crying.

It turned out that Guo Ning still brought Cui Xiannu with him when he came here this time.Because Tu Shanhang was detained at the Feijunhe camp, even if Tu Shanhang's confidant butler was unhappy, he had to follow Guo Ning's instructions carefully.

Before that, Guo Ning asked Li Ting, a native of Zhongdu, and Cui Xiannu to arrange for the Tudan family to live in a remote manor in the west of Zhongdu, as the servants of everyone.

After all, this place is at the foot of the emperor and the center of the country, especially in the past two years, there have been many wars, and the daily security is much stricter than usual.The cavalry team has arrived here, and everyone is armed with swords and bows. They are all dressed as warriors, which inevitably arouses the vigilance of Yousi.

While the group was talking about the scene in Zhongdu, officials from the Zhongdu Police Patrol Academy came to visit from a distance.

The officials also obviously notified their superiors, and in a short while two or thirty people gathered, and slowly surrounded them, as if they wanted to interrogate.It's just that the knights are all vicious, and no one takes them seriously and ignores them.

When the general was approaching, just as everyone was talking about staying in Tu Shan's manor, the officials showed surprise and dispersed in a hurry.

Guo Ning watched Monk Luo and others lead the cavalry brigade to the south, and at the same time noticed the movements of the officials.

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "I never imagined that Tu Shan's prestige in Zhongdu is so great... Only after hearing about our residence, no one dares to come up and check?"

"Since the founding of Dajin, it has been 20 years. The Tudan family has received the emperor's grace, and has potential in the inner palace and outside the court. There are only a handful of family powers that can be compared with it. Otherwise, Tudanyi can't be regarded as a Confucian scholar. Based on his identity, he will fight against important generals and military officials," Wang Chang replied.

Guo Ning looked up at the sky: "Then, let's enter the city now and meet this Shangshu Youcheng."

Wang Chang urged the horse forward: "I will lead the way for you."

At that moment, the two walked side by side, followed by only four or five cavalry.

After walking a few steps, Guo Ning said as if nothing had happened: "I asked Cui Xiannu before, how can I get in touch with someone close to you in Tudan Youcheng's house, and set a meeting time. As a result, this guy was frowning, and tried every means to evade. He said two days, and maybe ten days, but he said that his status is far from enough, even if Tu Shanhang came here by himself, if he wanted to see his clan uncle, he would have to hand over a letter of worship and wait to be summoned."

"Haha, that's indeed the rule."

"Then, isn't this matter embarrassing in Mr. Wang's eyes? Da Jin's right prime minister can see it whenever he wants?"

"Guo Langjun didn't know my details at all, so he dared to use me to lead the way and go straight into the central capital. I really admire such audacity."

Wang Chang sighed: "Don't worry, my lord, if you want to meet other Zhongdu nobles, I may have to deal with it carefully. Only if you want to meet Tu Shanyi, it's really not difficult."

This Wang Chang is really a wonderful person, and at this time, he still doesn't speak clearly.

However, Guo Ning didn't ask any more questions.

A group of people marched along the road full of traffic, showed their guides at Zhangyi Gate, south of Lianhua Pond, and paid the necessary bribes.

After entering the city, I saw pedestrians jostling shoulder-to-shoulder on the street, and the shops facing the street were bustling with sales.They didn't stop to watch, they went straight to the east, passed Guangyuanfang, Yongpingfang and turned north.After walking not far, I saw a large-scale temple.

Guo Ning raised his head and looked at the plaque: "This is... Tai Chi Palace?"
