- North of Xindu City, west of Zhangshui Floating Bridge.
This once busy road looks particularly quiet and solemn today. Looking around, there are a large number of troops on and on both sides of the pontoon bridge, standing quietly, looking particularly murderous.
On the south bank of the river, Huang Mingyuan, surrounded by a group of people, was looking up to the north, waiting anxiously.
Today is the day when Dingtao Marquis Zheng Yanqing, the Protector of the Anbei Protectorate, returns to Xindu. To show the importance he attaches to this sworn brother, Huang Mingyuan went out of the city to greet him personally.
¡°In the whole world, the only ones who can receive this kind of treatment are Yang Guang¡¯s body and Zheng Yanqing himself.
It was almost noon, but Zheng Yanqing and his entourage had not yet arrived. The cavalry kept going back and forth on both sides of the Zhang River, reporting the location of Zheng Yanqing and his party. At the end of the day, Zheng Yanqing and his party finally appeared in people's sight.
On the plain north of the Zhang River, a group of cavalry appeared from the horizon, with crimson flags fluttering in the wind. Under the characters "Huang" and "Sui", there was a big "Zheng" character.
The flag is fluttering and the horse is rustling.
It is the Northland man who has the most exciting style.
Zheng Yanqing stared into the distance on his horse, feeling excited.
This is the first time Zheng Yanqing has returned to the Central Plains since he went north to the grassland after the Yanmen War. I recall that it has been two years since I separated from my brother in Yanmen. 强牺 99bxwx.com 读牺
In two years, Zheng Yanqing had completely established the rule of the Sui Dynasty on the grassland.
When Zheng Yanqing and Huang Mingyuan parted ways in Yanmen, Huang Mingyuan told Zheng Yanqing three things before leaving. They were to attack the large tribes on the grassland; to keep building cities; and to continue Chineseization.
Zheng Yanqing has been sparing no effort to implement these three things.
Since arriving at Anbei City, Zheng Yanqing began to build cities around Anbei City. The entire desert is separated by the Gobi Desert, and Anbei City is already at the northernmost end of the Monan Grassland, close to the Gobi Desert in the north.
Therefore, Zheng Yanqing took Anbei City as the center, went west to the northwest of Gaoque Pass in Fengzhou - the Xiaobi Desert, and went east to the Keshiketeng area of ??later generations, about a thousand miles to the left and right, and began to build the first line of defense for the grassland. .
This 2,000-mile defense line includes a beacon for 25 miles, a garrison for 50 miles, a fort for 100 miles, and a city for 200 miles. With Anbei City as the center, it forms a new Great Wall.
And after the completion of this new Great Wall, the entire Monan was in the arms of the Sui army.
Compared with the cold Mobei and the barren Moxi, Monan is the most fertile pasture for nomadic people. Without the Monan grassland, the nomadic people will never be able to move south to the grassland.
This line of defense requires almost ten cities, ten forts, more than twenty garrisons, and more than forty beacons. The material and manpower required are simply unimaginable.
These were things that Huang Mingyuan, who had not yet pacified Hebei at that time, was unable to provide Zheng Yanqing.
Of course, the bitter cold grassland cannot afford so many resources to build this line of defense. Moreover, the total number of Han troops in Zheng Yanqing's hands was only 20,000, and they certainly could not be used to build the city.
¡°But Zheng Yanqing has his own way.
There are not enough Han people, so barbarians come to join in.
Since the grassland war broke out again, in just a few years, various tribes have fought countless battles. The people were displaced, and the small tribes were like a revolving door. I don¡¯t know how many people perished.
This just gave Zheng Yanqing a chance.
Zheng Yanqing ordered the three armies to set up camps in the places where the city was to be built, and then recruited scattered people on the grassland on the spot.
By joining the Sui army¡¯s camp, you can become a Han citizen and enjoy the treatment of Han people. This is simply a piece of cake in the sky. So in the Monan land, countless scattered herdsmen came to seek refuge, and were then organized into households by the Sui army.
Even some small tribes, unwilling to live a precarious life, will choose to establish a household.
For a time, the Sui army competed with most of the grassland for these individual grassland households.
Soon, more than ten grassland camps took root and sprouted on the grassland, growing in size, and gradually began to form market towns. Some generals, worried about the lack of men, even attacked small tribes, directly killed the tribal nobles, and then converted them into Han people.
In the spring of the second year, everything revived, and the Sui army began to organize these barbarians to build cities. At this time 99bxw*x.com Zhang Si
Zheng Yanqing had no money or supplies, but when it came to building a city, there was plenty of soil on the grasslands. As long as he had enough manpower and craftsmen, he could make enough rammed earth and red bricks to build the city.
Huang Mingyuan supported Zheng Yanqing with a large number of craftsmen who were able to bake red bricks and make rammed earth. He was very interested in rammed earth and red bricks.For mass production.
It didn¡¯t take long for a construction team of thousands of people to build a city with a length and width of 250 steps (375 meters) or less.
The small town covers an area of ??only about 200 acres, about the size of fifteen standard playgrounds, and its circumference is only three miles. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk around the city.
Zheng Yanqing knows that his strength is limited, and it is already very laborious to build a small city, let alone a big city. Therefore, he deliberately designed the city to be small and easy to build. After it was completed, a wooden wall with a length of two miles and a width of two miles was built on the periphery to serve as the outer wall. This formed a city with double walls and an inner city.
Since the inner city is protected, the significance of using the city as a stronghold has been achieved.
Although the Sui army is unable to build the outer city now, when the time comes, the Sui army can build the outer city at any time, even if it takes ten years. At the same time, the Sui army could take the city as the center at any time and build beacons and garrison and forts on both sides to form a coverage area of ??a hundred miles in radius to control the location.
Zheng Yanqing also planned to build two more defense lines from Anbei City to the north, one leading to Dingbei City, dividing the entire Mobei into two; the other leading to Julenbo, separating the Modong grassland to the west of the Greater Khingan Mountains from Mobei. Completely dismember the entire grassland.
It¡¯s just that this requires greater resources and more manpower, which the Sui army cannot provide yet.
On weekdays, the Sui army was stationed in the inner city, including military mansions, grain depots, arsenals, important wells, school fields, military camps, pharmacies, etc., all of which were located in the inner city. Even some of the soldiers' family members also lived in the inner city.
The herdsmen who camped in the camp were mainly Hu people stationed in the outer city, which not only facilitated the garrison of the Sui army, but also facilitated the herdsmen¡¯s grazing life.
Because it is not easy to build houses, everyone still lives in tents, which does not affect grazing.
The Sui army transformed these barbarians into Han people, but fully retained their characteristics of being good at herding. The Hu people could choose to farm or herd on their own, or even plant trees and protect forests specifically for the Sui army.
When winter comes, the government also organizes herdsmen to go south to the Yin Mountains to escape the cold.
Everyone is in the Sui Army, and there is a guarantee of life. There is no persecution of the tribal heads and witch gods in the tribe. Don't mention much moisturizing.
In turn, this kind of life has attracted a large number of Hu people to choose to register their households.
Zheng Yanqing made another move. All tribes who are willing to establish households can stay in Monan, and those who are unwilling can and must move to Mobei. No one who does not belong to the king will be left in Monan, otherwise they will face the Sui army. butcher knife. Therefore, under the half-oppressive and half-indulgent approach of the Sui army, there were almost no independent nomadic tribes in the entire Monan.
Note: The construction of a city on the grassland is not the author¡¯s whim. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, which stretches from Dunhuang, Gansu Province in the west to Pyongyang South Korea in the east. It is more than 10,000 kilometers long. It was completely built on the grassland. One section is still in Mongolia today, and it is completely different from the Great Wall of Qin Dynasty. Something happened. Moreover, there are two constructions in one building, namely the Great Wall outside Han Dynasty and the Great Wall inside Han Dynasty. Zhida org.com Zhixiao
