Chapter 92: Zhongwen and martial arts are getting better and better, and a couple gradually become successful
On the occasion of the Spring Festival of the fifth year of Xuanhuang, Zhao Jin held a banquet for hundreds of officials in Beijing and sent envoys to give banquets to the generals guarding outside. In the new year, get ready to recuperate, store well in the fields, accumulate strength, and then make progress.
But it talks about the situation in Yanhan and foreign countries.
Kinki region, the northern region and Fudong region have become a consolidated base area, under the protection of the four major governors of the national defense barrier, which can develop the economy at ease. With the foundation of many good craftsmen at the founding of the country and the arrival of the great inventor Huang Daogu, the manufacturing and textile industries in Anhan Prefecture have developed greatly. The skilled craftsmen of Anhan Prefecture have moved to the surrounding cities in batches under the organization of the state to develop more industrial bases.
The most important emerging industrial bases are Oblast and Liancheng Prefecture. Oblast is the first industrial base to move a large number of craftsmen and train local residents since the founding of the country. With excellent mineral resources, we will develop weapons, tools and agricultural tools manufacturing according to local conditions, and strongly support the promotion of national military strength and the development of all walks of life. In this era when ironware is still quite expensive, Yanhan's soldiers can use a lot of weapons and armor that cost a lot of steel, and even farmers can generally use iron agricultural tools, all of which is blessed by the rich and high-quality mineral deposits in the Ural region. It can be said that if he hadn't made his way in this area, it would have been difficult for Yan Han to develop so smoothly.
Lianchengfu is not only an important industrial base, but also an important commercial center. It can be said to be the most advantageous transportation hub in Yanhan. The two new and old cities of Lianchengfu are sandwiched by the Volga River. To the north, you can pass through the riverside cities of Fudong, Fuxi and northern Xinjiang - Sazhou, Liuzhou, Mingzhou, Saizhou, Baozhou and Kazhou. If you go down to the south, you can enter Gezhou and Zanzhou, enter the Caspian Sea, Tongze Prefecture, Kuangzhou and Jiezhou. If you pass through the Fudon Canal to the west, you can pass through Luozhou. Enter the sea; to the east, it will take the north road of the Eurasian Commercial Road by land. This is really all-way! No wonder it will become the second directly administered government of Yanhan. The timber cut from the northern Xinjiang area goes downstream and it is very convenient to build cars and ships in Liancheng Prefecture. Therefore, Liancheng Prefecture has become a heavy industrial base for manufacturing vehicles and ships, and also occupies an irreplaceable and important position in the industrial layout of Yanhan.
In addition, Zanzhou, Mingzhou, Sazhou and Zezhou on the Ural River on the Volga River are all located in the hinterland of Yanhan, which is both safe and convenient, and is a key industrial and commercial town for construction. The current ranking of the seven major industrial centers of Yanhan: Anhanfu (comprehensive), Yuzhou (mineral processing), Lianchengfu (vehicle and ship manufacturing), Sazhou (agricultural processing), Zanzhou (pastoral processing), Mingzhou (agricultural processing), Zezhou (pastoral processing). Ranking of seven major commercial centers: Lianchengfu (hub important place), Anhanfu (Beijing important place), Luozhou (regional important place), Sazhou (regional important town), Benzhou (regional important town), Zanzhou (regional important town), Mingzhou (regional important town). Ranking of seven major agricultural centers: Anhanfu (military reclamation area), Luozhou (Donhe Woye), Kazhou (North Xinjiang Woye), Haizhou (Donhe Woye), Benzhou (Hexi Plain), Baozhou (North Xinjiang Woye), Lianchengfu (military reclamation area). Ranking of seven major animal husbandry centers: Kuangzhou (Shanhai Ranch), Cangzhou (Cangyuan Ranch), Anhanfu (Wangcheng Ranch), Zanzhou (Volga Estuary Water Grassland), Zezhou (Ural Estuary Water Grassland), Yezhou (North Ranch), Sazhou (Hexi Ranch).
Except for the three areas in the hinterland, each of the four areas of the frontier is guarded by a governor's office. The governor of Zhenbei is responsible for the northern Xinjiang area; the governor of Zhenxi is responsible for the Fuxi area; the Zhennan governor is responsible for the Shanhai area; the Zhendong governor is responsible for the Wudong area.
The foreign countries adjacent to the northern Xinjiang are mainly the Grand Duchy of Novgorod and the Duchy of Moscow.
The Grand Duchy of Novgorod is gloomy and unconcerned. The dignitaries who coveted the position of the Grand Duke can only cater to the opinions of thepiao holders. No one has real vision for the long-term development of the country. The most powerful contenders are the two brothers Dmitry Alexandrovich and Andrei Alexandrovich - the two brothers of Danil Alexanderovich, Duke of Moscow. In 1276, the eldest brother Dmitry came to power; in 1281, the second brother Andre defeated the eldest brother and ascended the throne. This year is 1284, and next 1285 is going to be a general election. Andre will try his best to seek re-election, and Dmitry vowed to regain the throne.
The Principality of Moscow took advantage of the anxiety of the Grand Duchy of Kiev and the Great Duchy of Novgorod to accelerate its development. After annexing the Duchy of Ryazan at the beginning of last year, Duke Daniel retired and turned his attention to the north. In the summer, he sent troops again and successfully took down a small duchy - the Duchy of Ugrich. Ugrich is also a famous city, and there are towers as beautiful as Ryazan. Daniel was enjoying the scenery on the tower with his wife Anna when he suddenly heard the news that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania sent troops to attack the Grand Duchy of Kiev.
Daniel was very excited when he heard the news. He thought for a moment, held his wife's hand and said, "It seems that I can take you to a higher tower to have a look."
Anna asked in surprise, "What's your goal?" Where is the higher tower?
Daniel smiled and said, "In the city of Vladimir."
"Vladimir City!" Anna screamed and felt incredible. In the era of Mongolian rule of East Slavs, the city of Vladimir was the center of the whole East Slavs. The Mongols made their most obedient monarch Grand Duke Vladimir, above all East Slavic monarchs. The tower symbolizes status. The tallest tower in East Slavic is in the city of Vladimir, and it is no higher.
After staying for a long time, Anna still couldn't believe it and asked carefully, "Can you really get the city of Vladimir? Last time you exchanged many territories for Vladimir City, but the Grand Duchy of Kiev refused to agree.
Daniel replied confidently, "No problem. And this time, I didn't exchange land, and the Grand Duke of Kiev obediently gave me the city of Vladimir.
The plan has been decided, and Danil immediately sent an envoy to Kiev to propose to Kiev Grand Duke Sviatoslav and Regent Shataniev that the Principality of Moscow can help the Grand Duchy of Kiev repel the Lithuanian army, but in exchange for the city of Vladimir. Daniel claimed that he could personally lead 80,000 troops to help the war.
This time, Kiev is both happy and afraid. Fortunately, the Lithuanian army's offensive was very fierce, and the three important towns of the Grand Duchy of Kiev, Minsk, Pingsk and Brest, were all captured by the Lithuanian army. Kiev is currently at a very critical juncture, and it would be better for Moscow to send troops to help. What is afraid is that if Danil does not accept Moscow's conditions, in case Danil turns against him, 80,000 troops will not go to fight Lithuania, but to fight Kiev...
The ignorant boy Sviatoslav looked confused, while Shataniev's face was extremely ugly. Until now, Duke Daniel's strength has been quite strong, but he still maintains a respectful face. He didn't mean to turn against him at all, but Shataniev knew it in his heart.
I understand, but at this juncture, I can't help but agree. Shataniev turned pale, thought over and over again, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
With no exchange, Daniel obtained the city of Vladimir and its surrounding areas, cutting off the most important enclave of the Grand Duchy of Kiev, and it was fundamental. Then he began to fulfill his promise.
Danil used many of the property he had obtained from his previous attack on Liang Zan, which were accumulated by the old Duke Fyodor for many years as a reward to recruit a large army. The lords, knights and mercenaries in China are happy to gather again when they hear that they can get considerable military rewards and rewards for winning battles. Daniel gathered more than 40,000 horses, known as 80,000, and took advantage of the Principality of Smolensk to unexpectedly enter the eastern border of Lithuania!
