Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

Daming Mansion, also known as Beijing in the Northern Song Dynasty, had a stay-at-home department. It was an important town in the north of Kaifeng. There were many soldiers and horses, and the city was deep and steep. It was wartime, and there were deep trenches, antlers, horse-repelling and other defensive fortifications far outside the city. , everyone had to bypass several horse-blocking walls and two deep ditches, and then cross the moat before they could reach Wengcheng.

Just past the Wengcheng is where the real city gate is.

Tong Guan nodded and smiled, and said to Liang Zhongshu:"Beijing's defense is absolutely foolproof even without us coming."

Liang Zhongshu smiled and said:"The rules are more than enough, but the attack is not enough, so that thieves have attacked many military states. Now the king of the county is here , we can counterattack and fight the thieves."

Liang Shijie is not afraid of Liangshan soldiers and horses.

However, Daming Prefecture had insufficient troops before, and Gao Lian of Gaotang Prefecture's rash attack caused Gaotang Prefecture to change hands instantly. Liang Shijie ordered the soldiers and horses from various military prefectures to gather at Daming Prefecture, and concentrated most of Hebei's troops in Daming Prefecture..

Then they recruited civilians to build fortifications.

In the eyes of Tong Guan and others, it was Liang Shijie's reasonable response that saved Daming Mansion. This man still had some tricks up his sleeve.

Next, the soldiers and horses of the Daming Prefecture formed an array at the city gate, saying that they were welcoming Tong Guan and others. In fact, Liang Zhongshu was very enthusiastic and deliberately arranged the array for Tong Guan and others to see.

The soldiers and horses of the Remaining Department of Daming Prefecture can also be called elite. Liang Zhongshu is quite confident.

"The last general has met the king!"

Entering the Wengcheng is a huge space with city walls on all sides and the city gate in front of you. Once you enter, if you cannot quickly conquer the city gate, you will face attacks from all directions above the Wengcheng. Only important cities will build Wengcheng. It can be regarded as a weapon to defend the city.

Tong Guan is now more relieved.

Even if this battle is unfavorable, it is almost impossible for the rebels to attack the heavily guarded Daming Mansion head-on. As long as Taiyuan in Hedong and Daming Mansion in Hebei are not lost, they have both sides. The important town was guarded, but nothing happened to Kaifeng.

The rebels did not attack Kaifeng along the river from Jeju and Yunzhou. They probably thought that Kaifeng had a strong force, so they attacked Hebei from the north and Huaidong from the south. It was really unwise.

Although the defense in the west of Beijing passed by Strengthened, but it is definitely not as good as Hedong Taiyuan and Hebei Daiming. There is no strong defense of the city. From east to west, you can quickly attack Kaifeng City along several rivers.

This was what Tong Guan was most worried about at the beginning!

The defense of Kaifeng City is far away Surpassing Damingfu and Taiyuan City, it is the most powerful city today.

It has a population of more than 1.5 million!

After Rome was destroyed by barbarians, the Roman Empire collapsed, the Persian Empire was destroyed by Tianfang, and Europe entered the Middle Ages, the world's civilizations They are all gradually reaching a low ebb.

The ancient empires of Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, and Parthia were all destroyed in the long river of history.

European civilization first became barbarian, and then became religious, and it was also at a low ebb.

When the Tang Dynasty flourished, The Tianfang Empire across Europe and Asia is also rising, and its civilization, economy, and military are not inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty.

Their capital Baghdad is far smaller than Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty in size, and its population is not as large as Chang'an. Civilized Its radiation and influence are not inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of military capabilities, the rising Tianfang Empire is not bad, and their cavalry is even more powerful.

Although there were various reasons for the Battle of Talas, such as the betrayal of the Tibetan tribe and Backstabbing, the Tang army came from afar, or the Tang army was outnumbered by the enemy, but the elites of the Four Anxi towns of Datang, who had experienced hundreds of battles, were defeated by the Tianfang army. This is also an unshakable fact.

Originally, Datang and Tianfang would collide and produce more The two sides would continue to compete for the many small countries west of Congling and Central Asia to exert influence and embed civilization in these small countries.

But just when Gao Xianzhi regrouped and planned to fight again, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.

Not only did the Tang Dynasty not continue Marching to Central Asia and the west of Congling, they were forced to abandon Beiting, Anxi, and even the Hexi Corridor were successively occupied by Tubo and Uighurs. Chang'an was captured several times by Uighurs. The struggle for hegemony between the two countries came to an abrupt end.

Afterwards, the Tang Dynasty collapsed and fell into civil war between vassals and towns until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the founding of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, the Tianfang Empire also split into several countries and fell into civil strife.

Until the rise of Mongolia, they enslaved the Rus in the European direction. The principality, which later became Russia.

Then it invaded Central Asia and West Asia, until it entered Baghdad. The last caliph was tortured to death by pouring gold water melted from the gold and silver of jewelry in his palace into his mouth.

Baghdad was destroyed.

The capital of Hara was destroyed.

Many cities in the Jin Kingdom were destroyed. Thirty million northern Han people died in the Mongolian war to destroy the Jin.

All civilizations fell to their lowest ebb under the Mongolian attack.

And Mongolia itself was an inferior civilization. , it rose up just when world civilization was at its lowest ebb.

In Eastern Europe, the Mongolian nobles began to embrace Orthodox Christianity.

The Mongols in Tianfang began to believe in Tianfang religion.

On the Chinese side, Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty and built the capital.

Because of its low level of civilization, Mongolia can easily absorb the local civilization wherever there is advanced civilization.

This also caused the huge empire to split within a few decades and become autonomous khanates. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

During the two hundred years before and after the founding of the Song Dynasty, civilization was at a low ebb.

There is even a Mongolian monster raging.

The Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and Chinese classical civilization was cut off.

The impact is also extremely far-reaching.

But before and after this, the Song Dynasty truly stood on top of the world.

Not talking about military affairs, but about the overall civilization formed by economy and culture.

As the capital of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng City has crushed Rome, Baghdad, Constantinople and other famous cities, and has become the number one city in the world.

Kaifeng's urban construction, scope, area, and city defense are of course unparalleled and number one in the world.

Because Kaifeng is located in a plain, the city's defense was particularly careful. Later generations of Kaifeng people could not imagine what Kaifeng was like in this era.

There are densely packed various fortifications, trenches, arrow towers, watchtowers, high fortresses, plus rivers, moats, and urns built outside the gates of many walls.

If you want to attack the city with ants, even if you attack with hundreds of thousands of troops, if there are enough soldiers and horses stationed in the city, it will be impossible to break the city with brute force.

When the Jin people first arrived in Kaifeng, they were shocked by the city's defense and retreated after extorting money.

The second time was also because Liu Ding Liujia's"magic soldiers" went out, giving the Jin people an opportunity to attack.

Even so, the inner city walls can still be defended. The inner city walls of Kaifeng are not inferior to the defense of any famous city. However, Qinzong was so stupid that he ran to negotiate peace and was buckled, and the inner city defense collapsed.[]

Although Damingfu is majestic and tall, there is still a big gap compared with Kaifeng.

Tong Guan could only be thankful that Liang Shanjun did not go directly to open the seal.

Otherwise, with the courage of the officials and the weak defense in Kaifeng City, they might be directly conquered.

Of course, Tong Guan would never have expected that Wang Lun would not even consider conquering Kaifeng now.

Without a large enough territory, the foundation will be insufficient.

The talent pool is insufficient.

There are not enough troops.

Military supplies are insufficient.

Taking Kaifeng would be like beheading the giant dragon of the Song Dynasty.

The remaining parts will burst out with more powerful power.

More difficult to unify.

With the Song Dynasty concentrating power, it was given away one after another, and then Liangshan continued to occupy prefectures and counties, laying a solid foundation, and having more talents to govern local areas, construction, construction, farming, fishery and animal husbandry... The foundation was solidified, and the talent reserve was also Enough was enough, and the army was expanded to more than 400,000 people.

That's when it's time to open the seal.

Li Zicheng's lesson to Wang Lun was very clear.

If it is not strong enough, beheading the centralized unified dynasty will only benefit others.

Didn’t the Jin retreat after they captured Kaifeng?

Establish a false Chu state, false Qi state, and use Han people to defeat Han people.

Many years later, when the Jin Kingdom was powerful enough to rule the vast north, they went south again to retake Luoyang and Kaifeng.

Wang Lun is not in a hurry

"Excuse me."

Tong Guan had a stern look on his face and waved his hand, ordering the generals of the Daming Mansion to stand up.

The governor Wen Da, the governor Li Cheng, the military commander Zhang Qing, as well as many regiment training commanders, defense commanders, and the real army Suo Chao, The second-in-command Zhou Jin and many other generals stood solemnly.

Tong Guan looked at it for a while and said with a smile:"They say that Daming Mansion has excellent soldiers and generals. This king has opened his eyes!"".
