Finally caught up! The second update is about to be released at six o'clock!

......

"The beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River is the imperial state of Jinling; winding with green water, red towers are spread out; flying tiles and storks are shining on the ditch; condense the wings and high covers, and stack the drums to deliver the flowers; present the gimbal watch, and fame can be won..."

Zhao Huan, an official from the Yingtian court who had already put on a generous imperial dress, was standing on the Lion Mountain outside the city of Yingtian (Jiangning). Looking north at the river, tears in his eyes (who were so happy that he cried), but what he recited was the "Entering the Dynasty" by Xie Tiao, a poet of the Southern Dynasty.

He now admires the phrase "The Beautiful Land of Jiangnan, the Imperial State of Jinling" very much because he feels that Jinling under his feet is really an imperial state.

The terrain of Jinling is so good!

It is backed by the river in the north, Qinhuai in the west, and Zhongshan in the southeast. With a little management, it will be a city that is hard to make. It is even more reliable than Taiyuan City in the Northern Han Dynasty!

Compared with Jinling, Kaifeng Prefecture is really not suitable as an imperial family at all.

There is a hanging river to the north of Kaifeng Prefecture. Although there are plains around it, the grain output is not high because they are all dry land. Moreover, there are too many big cities around Kaifeng Prefecture, and the food consumption is huge and it cannot be maintained by the surrounding rural output. Therefore, millions of stones of rice and grain have to be transported from the sixth route in the southeast every year so that the Bianliang people can fill their stomachs.

For the Song Dynasty, which had weak military strength and no danger of Yanshan to block the northern iron cavalry, taking Kaifeng Prefecture as the capital was simply a desperate attempt!

In fact, before the Song Dynasty, there were three small courts in the Later Liang, Later Jin and Later Han who were suffering from the terrain of Bianliang... And the imperial guards of these three small courts were much stronger than the previous Kaifeng imperial guards!

Those were all elites who were created in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties! As a result, they still failed to survive and easily destroyed their family.

What kind of the imperial guards of Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty during the Xuanhe period? They could only defend the city, let alone go out of the city to fight in the field.

Without field battles, Kaifeng Prefecture could not defend at all... The court trapped in the city could only choose one of the three types of surrender, escape, and wait for death.

Even Zhao Kai, the ruthless man, actually chose to run away, but he ran more decently and took the banner of going north to resist the Jin Dynasty. In fact, in December of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the most dangerous thing in the Song Dynasty was Kaifeng Prefecture, even more dangerous than Taiyuan Prefecture in Hedong!

Zhao Kai went north to Daming, then entered Xiangzhou, and then went to Hedong. At first glance, it seemed to be advancing towards the enemy, but in fact it was avoiding the enemy... because the enemy's first target is Kaifeng Prefecture!

The entire strategy of the Dajin invasion was to revolve around the breaking of Kaifeng Prefecture!

Therefore, after the Eastern Route Army, who was responsible for this task, the Western Route Army's mission will inevitably change from capturing Taiyuan Prefecture and then heading south to detour south... Because the Jin Dynasty could not bear the loss of the Eastern Route Army. This is also the reason why Zhao Kai was able to successfully enter Hedong after pacifying the great victory of the army.

At that time, Zhao Huan was trapped in a dangerous place and had no way to escape. He had no army to fight to save his life. He was surrounded by a group of Bianliangzi who were in a Jedi without knowing it... He was really waiting to die!

Now you can run to the safe Jinling and continue to be an emperor in the southeast. It is really a blessing from God... This is Zhao Huan's destiny!

As a king, you must know the destiny!

Zhao Kai's destiny is in the northwest, while Zhao Huan's destiny is in the southeast.

So Zhao Huan, who entered Jinling City, doesn't want to go back to Kaifeng Prefecture at all... He wants to live his life in Jinling well.

Since he was going to live in Jinling, Zhao Huan felt that the Jiangning Mansion City located at the foot of Zhongshan was unreliable.

It was an old city passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Not only was it disrepaired, but it was too far from the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River... In this way, once the enemy broke through the Yangtze River, it would easily surround Jiangning City.

Although the Yangtze River is dangerous, it is too long and it is impossible to have tight defenses everywhere, so one Yangtze River alone cannot defend Jinling.

To ensure that there is no danger, we must build a new city along the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River. The new city must integrate river defense and city defense.

At that time, a strong enough imperial guards naval army was built, and a water city was built in the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River as the base camp of the navy.

The Shuiying and Jinling New City must also be integrated!

Today, Zhao Huan brought a group of ministers out of the old city of Jinling and climbed onto the lions on the Yangtze River to inspect the Jinling New City under intense construction.

This new city is not large in size and its appearance is not traditional square, but built along the banks of the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River. The city walls, river embankments and river embankments are integrated. Several city gates are integrated with several piers.

The northeast of the city is also covered with Lime Mountain (Mufu Mountain), and a fortress that integrates with Jinling City will be built along the mountain.

A "water city" connected to Jinling New City will be built to the west of the city, and some sections of the Qinhuai River will be wrapped into the water city. In the future, there will be the old camp and shipyard of the Imperial Army.

Just when the new city is built and the navy is trained, Zhao Huan can rest assured and become his Jiangnan emperor... Unless Zhao Kai and the Jinzhe can have a navy force that is strong enough to suppress the Jiangdong Navy, Zhao Huan's Jinling Imperial Prefecture will be as stable as Mount Tai.

It is impossible for Zhao Kai and the Jin Thief to have a powerful navy... because in Zhao Huan's view, the navy is built up by money!

Zhao Huan, who lives in a wealthy place in the southeast, even if he wants to give Zhao Kai and the Jinzhe from the north, he is still the richest among the three forces today!

In fact, when the Song Dynasty unified the world, the sixth routes in the southeast had to send 6 million to the Song Dynasty's court every year!

Now I will take it out... Let Zhao Kai and the Jin Thief take money and food to fight each other!

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan sighed and said to Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui behind him: "Does the Jin people and the third brother want wealth, money and food? I can give them... to three million! As long as the Jin people are not in the Huai River, the third brother will not leave the Han River and enter Huainan West Road.

As for those who give in to you, they will just be granted! What are the emperors, the lords of Jiangnan, and the king of Wu, I will not agree or refute them. Anyway, I will be the emperor of Jiangnan!"

His attitude is much tougher than Zhao Gou in history!

It’s not that he has a habit, but that the north is now in the situation where the Northern Zhou Dynasty vs. Northern Qi Dynasty is now, and no one can go south with all their might. Moreover, Zhao Kai and the Jin Kingdom cannot use their limited financial resources on the navy, at least it is impossible before defeating each other.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

"Your Majesty, no, since ancient times, the Han and the thieves are not in harmony, and the king's life is not biased!"

Qin Hui praised Zhao Huan Shengming.

The one who nagged that "the Han and the thieves are incompatible and the king's work is not in a favorable position" was Yuwen Xuzhong.

These two people are not talking to Zhao Huan as envoys of the enemy country, but are following Zhao Huan as ministers.

Because both of them arrived in Jiangnan under the name of "release", neither of them had any theory to join Zhao Kai or Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Huan looked back at Qin Hui with a white face. He knew that this guy was forced to take from the late emperor because he opposed Zhao Kai that day... Later, he was caught by the Jin thief, and now he was "released" to him. It has really gone through twists and turns!

Because it was too tortuous, the censors in the court suspected that he was a spy... either Zhao Kai's spy, or Jin's spy!

Zhao Huan ignored him, but appointed Qin Hui as the Minister of Rites.

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

Then Zhao Huan glanced at Yu Wen Xuzhong, the Minister of Rites... He was now carrying a bullet stamp. The censors seriously suspected that he had defected to Zhao Kai, and the evidence was very conclusive! Because Yu Wen Xuzhong gave the territory and most of the army to Zhao Kai, he brought the edict that Zhao Kai had appointed Zhao Huan as the King of Wu to Jinling.

However, Zhao Huan still ignored it and even let Yuwen Xuzhong become the Minister of State, an official who was even older than Qin Hui.

"I spent money to buy peace and security, but I couldn't beat it... I really couldn't beat it!" Zhao Huan was quite real. "Now, most of the warriors in the world have been brought together by the third brother. Those who followed me to Jiangnan, except for the two elders of the Zong family and the remaining soldiers of Liu Guangshi, and some of the imperial guards of the Bianliangzi, were hopeless for the northern expeditions! Since there was no hope, I could only follow the heavens and spend money to eliminate disasters... This is not my own idea. Among the ten people in Jinling City, I am afraid that nine of them have such thoughts!"

Li Gang, Zhong Shizhong, Zhong Shimin and the other two had already gone south from Daming Prefecture to serve the king. However, they did not catch up with Zhao Huan, but stopped in Huaiyang Army (Xia Pi) and Haizhou, becoming a meat shield to resist the Jin thieves' going south.

However, Liu Guangshi did not die with his father Liu Yanqing, but fled to Yingtian Prefecture with thousands of people. Then he escorted Zhao Huan south to Jinling, and defeated many bandits along the way and recruited some scattered brave men. By the time he crossed the Yangtze River, Liu Guangshi had an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Now he was appointed by Zhao Huan as the governor of Jinghu Road and the governor of Ezhou to resist Zhao Kai.

In addition, there is also Fan Qiong who ran out of the Wannian Xindi battlefield, and now he has taken the Huaixi Pacification Envoy and the Governor of Shouzhou.

Under the protection of these three large troops, Zhao Huan's small court finally stabilized its position.

After stabilizing the situation, of course, we need to develop, and to seek development... we need talents to assist us!

Zhao Huan looked at Yuwen Xuzhong and Qin Hui, and paused and said, "Western and north sides of the world, we can deal with it with 6 million! The six grains from the first year of Jingkang (Zhao Huan has changed the ruling age) (the eighth year of Xuanhe) have been prepared, and they can be transported to Songzhou and Xiangyang in the near future!"

With grain, Zhao Kai and Jin Kingdom can attack each other!

If they don’t have food, they will have to go south to grab food! Then the two families will beat him together, will Zhao Huan still survive?

So Zhao Huan's move looks quite timid, but in fact he is a little ill-willed.

Zhao Huan smiled coldly and said, "I have another important task to send you two... The second year of Jingkang is the year of a great competition! I have created a situation in Jiangnan and I also need talents to become officials!

Therefore, the imperial examinations will be carried out as usual, and talents from Jiangnan must have the opportunity to become officials, so that they can support me, the emperor who is in peace.

The Ministry of Rites should be responsible for the imperial examination, so you two should do this!"
