Chapter 867 Peking(2/2)
Speaking of Yuan Dadu, we have to mention a strange man who participated in the construction of Yuan Dadu, Guo Shoujing.
Guo Shoujing worked for the Du Shui Supervisor in the Meng Yuan Dynasty. Since the appointment of Guo Shoujing, the Du Shui Supervisor has begun to become mysterious. Some say that the Du Shui Supervisor is the secret service department of the Yuan Dynasty, and some say that the Du Shui Supervisor is in charge of astrology.
Actually, I don’t blame Du Shui Jian, but I blame Guo Shoujing. I heard that this guy is not proficient in astronomy, astrology, and Feng Shui.
Since Guo Shoujing is so hexagonal, it is natural that his participation is indispensable for the construction of Yuan Dynasty, which has such high hopes for generations to come.
It is unknown what Guo Shoujing did in the process of building Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty, but what is known to everyone is that he mainly "irrigated" Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. He dredged the Grand Canal from Tongzhou to Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty and opened up various springs in the city to ensure that
The city's water supply. More importantly, he dredged the Jinshui River and Tonghui River, and then connected the two rivers relying on Taiye Pool, forming a grand moat that completely surrounded the entire Yuan Dynasty.
It can be said that the construction of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty was originally aimed at a complete military fortress. It was guarded by two rivers outside and there were many springs inside. Even if it was besieged by ten times the army, there would be no shortage of water or food.
However, Kublai Khan, who built the capital of the Yuan Dynasty to perfection, would not have thought that in less than a hundred years, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun would lead the Ming army to attack the capital, forcing Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty to flee to the grasslands.
Today, Peiping still has a large population, with nearly 200,000 households. It is not only the largest city in the north, but even in the world, only the capital can slightly surpass it.
Beiping Xiaoqiang, inside the wall is the former imperial city of the former Yuan Dynasty, now renamed Yanwangfu. All the previous halls in Yanwangfu have been preserved, but the only difference from before is that after all, Peiping has the important task of attacking the grassland, so the palace
Almost all the people coming and going are military generals, and the atmosphere is similar to that of a handsome tent.
