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

"The great master and the military strategist's brilliant plan..."

Ruan Xiaoer, standing at the bow, was full of admiration. In front of him was Zhu Wu. After the navy fleet entered the Yellow River, Zhu Wu and a group of staff officers came over in a small boat and took charge of the overall situation on board.

The three brothers of the Ruan family were not inferior to anyone in terms of naval warfare and bravery.

But if it comes to the general situation, strategy, and on-the-spot decision-making, then it is naturally not possible.

If Li Jun was the naval commander at this time, Wang Lun, Zhu Wu and others would be able to rest assured that Li Jun would execute the strategic goals perfectly and grasp the timing.

The three brothers of the Ruan family were not good enough, even though they have made considerable progress in the past few years, but for some things, talent is talent.

All the actions after the Yellow River entered the Bianhe River were decided and commanded by Zhu Wu himself, and the rhythm was well controlled.

When the situation is slow, they slowly cleared the riverside water forts and attacked the imperial navy warships and officers and soldiers deployed along the coast.

The navy also sent out a detachment to clear the officers and soldiers warships and water forts on both sides of the Jishui River and the Wuzhang River.

Soon after arriving at the Yellow River, they immediately rushed into the Bian River and went straight to Zhouqiao, not giving the Song Dynasty court any time to react.

When they reached the surface of Zhouqiao, they were not in a hurry to attack the city, as they had their own plans.

No matter what others said, Ruan Xiaoer was full of respect.

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi stood by, and Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but say: "Military Advisor, there were only more than a hundred people at the gate of Zhouqiao just now, and the gate was empty. If we send elite soldiers to attack, we can directly break the gate..."

Zhu Wu smiled but said nothing, just staring at the magnificent Zhouqiao in a daze.

This bridge directly connects the Imperial Street and the Palace.

The development of commerce and handicrafts during the Northern Song Dynasty led to the situation of "industry and commerce coming from outside and coming in an endless stream" in Kaifeng at that time.

The centralized "market" and closed inner and outer quarters of Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties could no longer adapt to the new social and economic situation.

Therefore, Kaifeng changed the old system of surrounding inner and outer quarters and markets with walls, and divided the inner city into 8 wings and 121 quarters and the outer city into 9 wings and 14.

The road system is a well-shaped square grid with dense spacing between streets and alleys. Residences, shops and workshops are all built in a mixed manner facing the street.

The prosperous commercial district is located in the southeastern district of the city where the canal can be transported, the northeastern district of the city leading to Liao and Jin, and the western district of the city leading to Luoyang.

In the Qingming Shanghe Tu, the main streets are densely populated, with houses lined up, and there are many two- to three-story restaurants, shops and other buildings.

The street and alley layout of ancient Chinese cities has generally been inherited since the Northern Song Dynasty.

There are many rivers and bridges in Kaifeng City, the most famous of which are Zhou Bridge and Hong Bridge, both of which cross the Bian River.

Zhou Bridge faces the Imperial Street and the Palace, with towers and pavilions on both sides, and the scenery is magnificent.

Hong Bridge is outside the East Water Gate, with giant trees flying in the sky, like a flying rainbow.

The buildings and imperial gardens such as Xiangguo Temple, Fan Tower, Iron Tower, Fan Tower, Yanqing Temple, Jinming Lake, and Genyue are extremely gorgeous.

Among them, Zhu Wu visited Xiangguo Temple, but unfortunately he did not meet Lu Da at that time.

Fan Tower, he even went upstairs to eat and drink, which is very valuable.

Iron Tower ClimbingHowever, I also visited Jinming Lake when it was open.

This is a prosperous city. Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty is definitely not comparable to Kaifeng in the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

In this era, Kaifeng is also the first city in China, and even the first city in the world.

Baghdad is also prosperous. When the Mongolian cavalry rushed in, they were also amazed by the wealth of this city.

But no matter the city size, population, and the development of industrial and commercial economy, Baghdad cannot be compared with Kaifeng.

North America and South America were still wild at this time.

There was no city in Southeast Asia and East Asia that was slightly comparable to Kaifeng, even Champa, which was also developed at this time, was far behind.

Tianzhu in South Asia was a mess, and Central Asia and West Asia were not as good as the Han and Tang dynasties.

Europe was still in the Middle Ages at this time. Paris and London were small and poor, not to mention other cities.

Moscow did not exist yet, that is, Constantinople inherited some of the glory of ancient Rome and was considered a decent city in Europe, but it was not comparable to Kaifeng at all.

Unlike the Qin and Han dynasties, Xianyang and early Chang'an were not as good as Rome to be fair.

The only truly world-leading cities were Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In terms of economic center and level of development, Kaifeng completely crushed Chang'an.

That is, there were fewer foreign barbarians and Hu merchants, but it cannot be said that Chang'an could suppress Kaifeng by this.

This is a prosperous city that people yearn for. Everyone who enters it for the first time is invariably shocked by its vastness, breadth, wealth, and dense population.

In this era of vast land and sparse population, a county normally has hundreds of thousands of people, but that is in the northern Central Plains where it was developed early and densely populated.

In Huguang and further south, a county with only a few hundred thousand people or even tens of thousands of people is not surprising.

In more remote counties, there may be only 20,000 or 30,000 Han people, plus tens of thousands of Yi people. The local situation is quite complicated. Not only is it poor, but there are wars and epidemics from time to time. People are afraid of being a local official, mainly in these places. (To read the violent novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

The entire county and state have only a few hundred thousand people, and the county town has a few thousand people, at most 10,000 or 20,000 people.

The state town has 10,000 or 20,000 people, or at most 30,000 or 50,000 people.

Only some famous big cities, such as Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Jiankang, can reach a scale of about 100,000 or 200,000 people.

These are already considered big cities.

Only Kaifeng has a normal population of 1.5 to 600,000 people, and as many as 2 million people.

Even in later times, only megacities have a population of more than 10 million. Ordinary first-tier cities have an urban population of 2-3 million, and second- and third-tier cities have an urban population of only a few hundred thousand.

Under the premise of later buildings, transportation, medical care, and education, a city of hundreds of thousands of people is already full of high-rise buildings, and the pressure on transportation and environmental protection is not small.

In the Middle Ages, what was it like to have a city of 2 million people? Only in this eraOnly those who have experienced it can experience it once in a blue moon.

Zhu Wu is one of them.

He was also shocked and impressed by the prosperity of Kaifeng, and even reluctant to leave for a long time.

It was the chivalry and chivalry in his body that made him see many injustices under the prosperity of Kaifeng, so he chose the rivers and lakes and the green forest again.

That is the stage for heroes.

At this moment, he came to the city of Kaifeng again. Behind him was a huge fleet of more than a hundred warships, with hundreds of naval guns pointing at the walls of Kaifeng. In addition, there were more than 10,000 elite soldiers who could go ashore and fight at any time. These more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the water camp, the so-called more than 100,000 imperial guards in the city, and all the squad guards were not enough for them to fight.

Life is like this, which is enough to make people sigh.

The big city in front of him is like a ripe fruit, which is really coveted. []

But Zhu Wu is also very determined and considers the overall situation.

If other generals were to lead the army, not to mention Lu Da and other hot guys, even generals like Shi Wengong, Lin Chong, Luan (Dinuo Zhao) Tingyu, Su Ding, Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, etc., I am afraid they might not be able to resist such temptation!

To conquer Kaifeng in one day, destroy Song, and achieve the greatest achievement of the founding of the country, this temptation is really hard for ordinary people to resist!

But Zhu Wu knew in his heart that the deployment of the big boss was right.

Intimidation and terror made Zhao Song lose their footing.

Then Liangshan gained enough benefits.

That's it.

Having conquered Kaifeng in a hurry, the big boss and Liangshan were not strong enough and lacked moral prestige.

It would only split the world.

Many powerful people and local powerful factions lost the central control and began to rise.

On the contrary, it would add twists and turns to Liangshan's road to unification.

The opponent's pig teammates are good teammates on your side.

When the boss said this at first, everyone didn't quite understand.

However, Zhu Wu completely understood it because of this metaphor.

Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Zhu Wu smiled slightly and said to Ruan Xiaoqi: "'You can't attack the city, but Xiaoqi, you can take your own ship and bombard the city wall to show off your power. This is okay.'
