    The layout of the Imperial City of Nanjing and the Imperial City of Beijing is not to say exactly the same, but it can be called similar with minor differences.

    There are six offices with similar locations.

    Zhao Han now lives in the area west of Liubu, walking north along the Qinhuai River, he can reach the Taiping Gate, and Xuanwu Lake is just outside the Taiping Gate.

    At the end of Ming Dynasty, there were many lakes in Nanjing. In addition to Xuanwu Lake, there were also Qianhu Lake, Nanhu Lake, Zhonghu Lake, Mochou Lake and so on.

    Before Zhao Han conquered Nanjing, Xuanwu Lake belonged to the forbidden area of ??the royal family.

    Now, of course, the ban has been lifted. There are fishermen fishing in the lake, farmers farming by the lake, and even famous prostitutes moving their boats to Xuanwu Lake.

    Today Zhao Han took a boat, not to visit famous prostitutes, but to bring his whole family out together.  After the flood receded, they took advantage of the leisure time to visit the lake, and let Fei Rulan, Pan Qimei, Zhao Zhenfang and the others relax by the way.

    A few women were lying on the window of the painting boat, looking at the scenery of Zijin Mountain in the distance, chatting about private matters.

    "The city wall over there should open a sluice gate."

    Zhao Han pointed to a section of the city wall to the northwest of Taiping Gate: "Emperor Hongwu built the city and forcibly separated the Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake, so that Xuanwu Lake could not be used for flood discharge during floods. The water of the Yangtze River could not flow into Xuanwu Lake through the Qinhuai River.  It will become smaller and smaller. There must also be an order that the area around Xuanwu Lake, within half a mile, must not be used for farming!"

    After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the ban on Xuanwu Lake was lifted, and the gentry and dignitaries continued to reclaim land from the lake, resulting in a crazy reduction in the area of ??the lake, and the filling of the lake made Nanjing Zhonghu disappear directly.

    Xu Nianzu nodded and said: "It is indeed time to reconnect the Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake. This year, the Qinhuai River has flooded the streets on both banks."

    The famous prostitute Gu Hengbo was playing the piano in the cabin.

    Lu Xiangsheng listened to the sound of the piano, closed his eyes and rested his mind. He was waiting for Zhao Han to assign errands.

    Zhao Han got up and looked at the lake, but he was thinking about how to stabilize Beijing if Nanjing was his capital.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there was Shuntian Mansion where Beijing was located, Yingtian Mansion where Nanjing was located, and Chengtian Mansion (the hometown of Jiajing) in Hubei.  These three are equivalent to municipalities directly under the central government, and Fengyang must be added to the strict calculation.

    ? If you want to stabilize Beijing and prevent Beijing from declining, you must establish a "municipality directly under the Central Government".

    The administrative establishment of Chengtian Mansion must be abolished, and Zhao Han, the municipality directly under the central government, intends to set up five¡ª¡ª

    The first is Nanjing, the second is Beijing, the third is Shenyang, the fourth is Xi'an, and the fifth is Kunming.

    The prefects of these five municipalities directly under the central government must be of the same rank as the chief envoys.  Only a large city with a high enough grade and remote communication can radiate the surrounding areas and play a role in stabilizing the country.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han turned around: "Mr. Jiutai, you go with the army to fight Anqing."

    "Yes." Lu Xiang stood up and cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "First read "The Collection of Datong" carefully several times, and serve as a military propaganda and instructor for a year, so that I can transfer you to a commanding general."

    Having suffered floods in several provinces this summer, it is indeed not suitable for an all-out Northern Expedition.

    However, it is still possible to occupy cities along the river as strongholds for the Northern Expedition.

    Fei Ruhe has already occupied Yangzhou, and Liuhe, Jiangpu, Hezhou, Wuwei, Wangjiang, and Anqing can be occupied.

    These cities are all on the riverside, or not far from the Yangtze River.

    There is no need to recruit a large number of civilians to transport supplies, and you can fight across the river by boat, which will be the former stronghold of the Northern Expedition.

    The end of June.

    Lu Xiangsheng carried "Da Tong Ji" in his arms, and followed Zhang Tieniu to fight in Anqing.

    Anqing is also Jiancheng.

    King Ning rebelled, and he was always blocked here, and the Jiajing Dynasty built another city again.

    "Fujun, Jiangxi soldiers are coming." Fang Yuegong, the magistrate of Anqing, said.

    Li Yukui, governor of Anlu, asked back: "Do you want to surrender the bandits?"

    Fang Yuegong sighed: "My home is in Gucheng, which was stolen by the eight thieves (Zhang Xianzhong) for a year, and now it has been completely occupied by the eight thieves. My father wrote a letter saying that the family property is still there, but the floating wealth has been looted.  Silver buried in the cellar."

    Li Yukui smiled wryly: "You still know the information about your hometown, but there is no news about my family. I don't know if it was robbed by the intruder (Li Zicheng)."

    Li Zicheng is sweeping Shanxi, and Li Yukui is from Shanxi.

    Fang Yuegong also said: "Zhao Han opened a port in Shanghai, and I built the sea wall and stone pond in Shanghai County by myself. If you want to come, you can go there to ask for an errand."

    On the other side of Shanghai, there is Fang Yuegong's ancestral hall built by ordinary people spontaneously.

    It is also because of the construction of seawalls and stone ponds that forced wealthy households in Shanghai to pay.  Those with more than 100 mu of land will pay 8% of silver per mu, which violates the interests of the gentry.Come over and take the work.

    Lu Xiangsheng couldn't laugh or cry, his heart was full of emotions, and he could only sigh.

    He often fights with rogues, and this kind of situation cannot happen when rogues attack the city.  Not to mention vagrant coolies, even the residents of the city will spontaneously go up to the city to defend themselves when they encounter rogues, because rogues will inevitably rob when they enter the city!

    This is not something that can be achieved with a strong army, but the reputation of benevolence and righteousness must be spread far and wide.

    The people of Anqing know that as long as they surrender to King Zhao, they will surely have a good life in the future.

    All the cities along the Yangtze River know this truth.  There was only one river across, and they heard countless rumors that the farmers on the other side had already divided their fields, and the people in the city did not pay excessive taxes.

    What a beautiful life that was, why didn't Zhao Tianwang fight Jianglai?

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Long live King Zhao!"

    The people had some doubts at the beginning, seeing that the soldiers of Datong Qiu were innocent, so they walked out of their houses one after another, standing on both sides of the street to watch and cheer.

    Lu Xiangsheng entered the city with the army and saw more and more people celebrating with joy.

    This feeling is absurd and intoxicating.

    During the day to maintain order in the city, Lu Xiangsheng took out "Da Tong Ji" at night.  He has read this book more than ten times, but every time he reads it, he has new thoughts.

    Many truths in the book can be verified by farmers in Yixing and urban residents in Anqing.

    Lu Xiangsheng also sympathized with the common people, and the Tianxiong Army did not commit any crimes.

    However, the Tianxiong Army and the Datong Army are obviously different.

    One is to fight for the emperor, and the other is to fight for the people!

    Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly read the three articles "Yuanjun", "Yuanchen", and "Yuanmin", and he finally fully understood what Zhao Han said about the great unity of the world.
