Water Margin Survival

In the era of cold weapons, a solid and towering city wall is definitely a headache for all attacking parties. .For Wang Lun's Liangshan Army, Daming Mansion, an important strategic town in the northern part of the Song Dynasty, was no exception.

The only experience Liangshan Army had in attacking the state capital was gained not long ago in Dengzhou City by the sea.At that time, Wang Lun adopted the method of seizing the door. At present, this method is extremely desirable and effective.First, there is no need to waste the lives of a large number of soldiers on fighting for the city wall, and second, the efficiency of breaking the city is extremely high.Losing the city walls, the defenders are very likely to organize forces to counterattack.But losing the city gate will undoubtedly bring a devastating blow to the defender's morale.

Of course, this is based on the stability of the domestic political situation and the extremely low awareness of defense by the defenders.If the two countries are fighting each other, under the extremely strong atmosphere of war, if you want to use this kind of dispatched armed forces to mix into the city, and use the means of internal and external cooperation to seize the city, the success rate is not high. suspicion.

At that time, after Wu Song received the general order to sneak into the city, he took the initiative to suggest that his subordinates be divided into more than two hundred groups of hawkers engaged in various industries, pushing Jiangzhou chariots or larger Taiping chariots, and selling weapons, clothes, etc. Jiadu hid under it, and later met Yanqing, a clever local, for help, and finally sneaked into the city extremely smoothly.

Afterwards, under the advice of Yan Qing, Wu Song sent his subordinates to rent a dozen or so houses not far from each other with a large courtyard on the back street beside the west gate of Daming Mansion, and gradually withdrew the people from the street back. Just wait for the first night when the large army is approaching the city and going to the village, and act according to the pre-agreed plan.

After resting for a while that day, Wang Lun led the army to the east gate of the Daming Mansion before dark, and went down to the village, and showed the muscles of the Liangshan army outside the city gate as if in a demonstration, before withdrawing the troops and returning to the camp.

This has two advantages. First, it will create a panic atmosphere in the city, allowing Wu Song and Yan Qing to detect the signal of action.Second, it is possible to attract as many vital forces as possible to the east gate of Daming Mansion, so as to ease the obstacles for Wu Song to seize the gate at the third watch.

As soon as it got dark, Wang Lun walked half a circle around the huge city under the cover of night, and rushed to the west gate before the appointed time, waiting for news from Wu Song in the city.

When he arrived outside the west gate, there was only more than an hour left before the appointed time. Wang Lun ordered everyone, except the guards, to go down to rest and stock up their horsepower. Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, and everyone is wearing leather armor. It's just right to sleep with clothes on.

"As expected of Yanjing, my Great Song Dynasty, with such a large scale, it may take more than 20 miles to go around the city for half a circle?" Wang Lun couldn't sleep at this time, chatting with his new military adviser Xu Guanzhong under the night.

"It should be about the same. We are a little farther away from the city! But our Daming Mansion is the most populous mansion in the world today. According to the census on the number of households and population in the four capitals, although the number of households in our Daming Prefecture is 1102 fewer than that of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, the number of population exceeds him by more than [-]!"

When Chinese people talk about their hometown, they all have a natural sense of intimacy and pride, even if they are so free and easy.

In the census in the first year of Chongning, Daming Mansion had a total of 15 households and a population of 250 people (the Song Dynasty census did not include female surnames, the actual population of Daming Mansion at this time , should be above one million).

Xu Guanzhong, as a famous native born and bred, does have the capital he is proud of.

As a traveler, although Wang Lun could not remember the details of the Daming Mansion, he knew a thing or two about its importance.Daming Mansion is [-] miles north of Kaifeng Mansion, about [-] miles away from the border of Liao Kingdom. It is bordered by the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain in the west, and the vast North China Plain in the southeast and north. The well-developed waterway transportation in the prefecture has become an important transportation line for grain transportation.The Daming Mansion is also the distribution center for the transportation of materials from the south to Hebei, and is known as the throat of Heshuo.

With such a superior geographical environment, the economy of Daming Prefecture is also extremely developed. At this time, the commercial tax and liquor tax are closely following Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, ranking second among the four capitals.

Such an important city has been regarded as a battleground for military strategists throughout the ages.Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom has always been the number one threat to this emerging regime. Whenever there is a war, Hebei has become the main battlefield of the Song and Liao struggle, and the Daming Mansion has naturally become the command center of the Yu Liao. For Yanjing.

This city with extremely prominent political, military, and economic status appeared in front of Wang Lun with his pipa half-hidden like this. As a person who knew the general trend of history, he had to sigh for this ancient city.

Because in a few years, the golden man's iron hoof will trample on this point, bringing unwarranted disasters to the people living in this capital of the Great Song Dynasty.After the Jin people sang, it was replaced by Mongolia, an emerging force in the grassland. The backward fishing and hunting, and the devastation of the advanced farming culture by the nomads were staged one after another. Submerged, since then it has been silent in the sand and silt of the river, never seeing the sun again.

Wang Lun didn't know what it was like in the original trajectory that Song Jiang's soldiers came to Daming City, but now he has a feeling... a feeling that he has completely walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.After all, such an extremely important city in front of me has never been lost since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Maybe after tonight, I can completely enter the court's field of vision.

Unlike Song Jiang who took the initiative to explain Chao Tianwang's political last words and take the opportunity to expand his influence, if there were other choices, Wang Lun would prefer to develop silently at this time, but unfortunately he didn't!Lu Junyi wouldn't come out without a famous name, and the current financial crisis of the Shanzhai couldn't be solved without a famous name.

"Fortunately, we left a way out!" Wang Lun said with emotion.Although Guan Shengxing came to ask for revenge for attacking daimyo, but now this era has changed a lot because of his arrival. For example, Hou Fa squeezed out Chen Wenzhao's position, and Cheng Wanli knew Xiqing Mansion.Who knows if the butterfly effect will be triggered, causing the imperial court to raise troops to conquer?

With the 4 people in the Shanzhai now, Wang Lun is confident that he will work together with the heroes of Liangshan to create a tomorrow, but he is not so arrogant that he believes that he can replace the Song Dynasty at this moment, and swallow all of them, including 30. The Song Dynasty's million-dollar forbidden army, including the Wanxi Army.

Taking down this famous mansion just means that his own path is obviously only just beginning.

Xu Guanzhong smiled slightly, understood the meaning of Wang Lun's words, and asked with a smile: "If my brother didn't have Jeju Island as a way out, would he still send troops to attack the Daming Mansion?"

Wang Lun smiled, looked at Xu Guanzhong and said, "If I tell you that since I went to Liangshan, I was lucky enough not to be killed by anyone, and I feel that I will attack Daming Mansion in the future, do you believe it?"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and smiled, and said that Wang Lun was funny, but he didn't know that what the person in front of him said was blood and tears, and it took countless painstaking efforts to correct the trajectory of fate.

Obviously, Xu Guanzhong didn't put too much energy on Wang Lun's "joke". At this time, he was thinking about Liangshan's back road, Jeju Island.It can be said that this island carries the spiritual sustenance of Liangshan people. Although it is far overseas, it is also beyond the reach of the imperial court.According to Xiao Jiasui, from Liangshan to this island, if all goes well, it can take about half a month to go back and forth, so it's not too far away.If you go by land, how much can you drive in half a month?If you change it on foot, you won't even be able to reach Cangzhou.

It's not too far to get to the island in this way.I heard that Liang Shanbo is immigrating to this island on a large scale. It is estimated that there will be [-] to [-] people. Living on such an island, you can hear the local accent and see the acquaintances. What is the difference from living in the Song Dynasty?

No wonder what I observed, but all the leaders of the cottages I saw were very convinced of Wang Lun, because Wang Lun really thought of them, not only found a way for the brothers who were born in the grass to continue the current way of life, but also gave the court officers The leader who came from a family background found a new way to make contributions, so whether it was Yang Lin, a reckless hero who impressed him deeply, or Yang Zhi, a general who was born as an officer, they could all integrate into the big family of Liangshan and see a way out. To hope, to see dreams.

In the future, with this group of elite soldiers and strong generals, it really won't be that difficult to lay down a foundation.At that time, Jizi, a survivor of the Shang Dynasty, led 900 survivors of the Shang Dynasty to move eastward to Korea and establish a kingdom, which lasted for nearly [-] years. Could it be that Liangshanbo is not as good as the ancients?The world is unpredictable, with a leader like Wang Lun in white, who dares to say that the Liangshan Army will not win the Central Plains one day in the future.

The torch had been ordered to be extinguished for a long time, and Wang Lun could not see Xu Guanzhong's face in the dark. Seeing his silence, Wang Lun also fell into reverie.At this time, the things in his heart were much heavier than the world's.Hu Yanqing may know something about this matter (it is said that he is proficient in Chinese dialects, including Jurchen dialect), but it is impossible for him to realize that the female straight people who rise in the black water and white mountains can be powerful enough to wipe out the two largest in the world today. One of the powerful countries was driven by him to the edge of the Gobi Desert in the west to establish Xiliao, and the other was forced to a small corner by him, known as the Southern Song Dynasty in history.

Straight women like you go from nothing to becoming emperor, from rags to rich clothes and food, these are the sweetness brought to them by war, as long as they feel that they haven’t robbed enough and you can’t protect your own wealth, even If you don't mess with him, he will come to you.

Wang Lun knew that there was not much time left for him. What he wanted most now was to develop his strength steadily. Maybe when the disaster of destroying the country came, he would not be in a hurry, and he might be able to fulfill his obligations as a descendant of Yan and Huang. and responsibility.

"Brother, military advisor, the fire is on fire!" At this moment, Lin Chong walked over quickly, interrupting their thoughts, and announced the news from the city.

"Brothers are you up?" Wang Lun asked. Just before the third watch, he ordered everyone to get up and prepare. Now that the signal from the city has been received, there is no room for delay.

Lin Chong nodded and said, "Wait until brother's military order!"

"Yang Zhi and Tang Bin are in the front, my brother and I are in the middle, and Zhang Qing is in the rear! There is no need to delay, let's go!" Wang Lun ordered.

"Brother, whether you like it or not, after tonight, I'm afraid you will become famous all over the world!" When Xu Guanzhong got on his horse, he suddenly turned his head and smiled. (To be continued.)
