After Roufu came out of Qinqing's episode, he was much more restrained and knew that he would not reveal his wealth when he was away. When the two arrived in Si County, they learned that the fleet had already passed a few hours. In front of the fleet, they would arrive at Xuyi and enter the Huai River in turn, from Shanyang on the south bank of the Huai River, through Baoying and Gaoyou, to Yangzhou on the Jiangnan Canal, and finally upstream along the Yangtze River to reach Jiangning as mentioned by Prince Kai.

The above is the water route. If you start from Si County by land, you pass through Wuhe, Mingguang, Chuzhou in turn, and finally arrive in Jiangning. It will take more than 200 miles. The journey starts at dawn and you will definitely arrive at it. In Si County, Yan Qing asked Zhao Meng and others to continue chasing the fleet, bringing a letter to Prince Kai to calm the other party. Roufu and he rushed to the destination by land, preparing to play happily for a few days to alleviate the thrilling pain of the journey. The journey was stopped and stopped, and the famous rivers and scenic spots and the Baiwei Snacks were enjoying it. The journey that was originally a morning and night took two days to arrive in Jiangning. The two found a hotel by the river, waiting to meet with Zhao Kai and his group who were slowly coming from the river.

At this time, Jiangning, which was later Nanjing (Nanjing of the Song Dynasty was Yingtian Prefecture, which is now Shangqiu, Henan, and was called Songzhou in the Later Zhou Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he became famous in "Songzhou", so he changed the name of the country to "Songzhou". Because Songzhou was Shangqiu in ancient times, Huozheng Yanbo lived in Shangqiu, and Shangqiu was the place where the big Mars divided, the Song Dynasty called itself "Huo Song" and "Yan Song".)

The total population of Jiangning Prefecture at this time was more than 200,000. Mr. Zhu Ziqing once described Nanjing as "the peddlers and barrages all have the smoke and water of the Six Dynasties". The so-called "Six Dynasties" refers to: 1. Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period; 2. Eastern Jin. In 317 AD, Sima Rui, a royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty who fled to Jiangnan, was supported to be the emperor in Jiankang (now Nanjing) and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime; 3. The four dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen during the Southern and Northern Dynasties all established the capital of Jiankang (now Nanjing). Therefore, Nanjing is known in history as the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties". As for the Ming Dynasty's Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital of Yingtian (now Nanjing), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established the capital of Tianjing (now Nanjing), etc. are not included in this Six Dynasties.

According to the "Reading History and the Minutes of Fangyu" in the early Qing Dynasty, there were 106 wars in Nanjing before the Qing Dynasty, ranking first in the country, much higher than the 70 times in Luoyang and the 52 times in Xi'an. It is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has abundant resources. It can be said to be the money bag of the court, and naturally became a must-fight place for military strategists to compete for all dynasties.

Nanjing was called "Moling" during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Mai is a kind of grass; ling is a kind of earthen mountain. It can be seen that Nanjing was still deserted hills and wild land at that time. Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu established the capital here and changed Moling to Jianye, and then began to build a city. Jianye's first construction of the city was the capital. In terms of the subjective view of the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Wu, the city defense should not be careless.

Zijin Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing was called Jiangshan in the Han Dynasty. Jiang Ziwen, the Moling Wei, died here at the end of the Han Dynasty. Sun Quan established a temple in Zhongshan for it, and then changed Zhongshan to "Jiangshan", which is the most famous mountain in the eastern part of Jianye. There are also some rolling hills in the north and south on the east side of Jianye, such as Baohua Mountain to the north of the horse tribe, Qinglong Mountain in the southeast, etc., and Tangshan, Jiuhua Mountain, Goryeo Mountain, etc. to the east. Although there are many mountains around Nanjing, they are not dangerous enough. The highest peak of Jiangshan is less than 500 meters above sea level. The hills are far from the city and are not steep enough. In addition, there are many channels to enter Nanjing, so these hills are not very military value at that time.

The Qinhuai River, which is popular in the mouths of poets and essays of all dynasties, is located in the south of Nanjing. The Qinhuai River, which hundreds of kilometers, is a natural river. It has two sources: the east source is in Zhuyuantan, Baohua Mountain, Jurong, and the south source is in Donglu Mountain, Lishui; they converge in the southwest of Fangshan, Jiangning, winding northward, and flow to the southeast of Nanjing Wuding Bridge, and is divided into two inner and outer branches: the inner Qinhuai enters the city from Dongshui Pass at Tongji Gate, flows through the southern part of Nanjing in a V-shaped shape, and the outer Qinhuai follows the south of Nanjing.

The city wall forms a moat protruding southward and arc-shaped moat; the Qinhuai inside and outside is in Xishui Pass near the Shuixi Gate, which is one, flowing northwest to Huimin Bridge near the Sanban River into the Yangtze River. It is reported that in the Song Dynasty, there was a wide imperial road of seven or eight miles for people and chariots and horses to pass through. A floating bridge was built across the river, called "Surf Bird Hang". In normal times, cars and horses came and went. In wartime, once the south was alert, the ship could be collected to remove the bridges to isolate the traffic between the two sides of the straits and control the enemy by relying on the river.

The west of Nanjing is called Shitou City, which is known as "Zhongshan Dragon Pan and Stone Tiger Seal". "Stone Tiger Seal" refers to the Shitou Mountain in the west of the city, which looks like a tiger and lies on the bank of the river. Shitou Mountain is now the ghost face area of ​​Shitou City, and the Yangtze River is below the city, and the Shitou City is the wharf. This mountain stands on the side of the Yangtze River. The cliffs in the southwest of the southwest are washed by the long-lasting river water, almost vertically, surrounding Shitou City is like a city wall. The situation is dangerous. The fleet enters Jianye from the Yangtze River and must take the Qinhuai River waterway, and when entering the Qinhuai River, it must pass Shitou City. Therefore, Shitou City is an important military fortress standing on the north bank of the Qinhuai River mouth. When Zeng Guofan attacked Tianjing from here, he bombarded for several days and nights, but failed to capture it. In the end, it was still broken by bribing the spies inside the Taiping Army.

The northern gate of Nanjing is Xuanwu Lake. Xuanwu Lake was named in the 23rd year of Yuanjia (446) of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. At that time, black dragons appeared in the lake, and black was black. In addition, Xuanwu referred to as "the god of the north" in ancient China, and its specific image was "the body of a turtle wrapped around the snake". Xuanwu Lake means "Northern Lake". Also known as Sangbo, it was originally just a swamp wetland formed by geological faults and sinking. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan decided to establish the capital of Jianye, and transformed the wetland behind the palace by diverting water. The swamp was formed by

The lake was renamed "Houhu". At that time, Xuanwu Lake was much larger than it is now, and it could even be said to be a part of the Yangtze River. It has a wide waterway connecting the main river of the Yangtze River, and the river tide can reach the lake. Xuanwu Lake is a natural moat and water source in the north of Jianye City. Jilong Mountain (now Jiuhua Mountain) in the south confronts the Mufu Mountain in the north, which strengthens the military value of Xuanwu Lake. To attack Jianye from the north, if you do not capture Mufu Mountain first, and then no navy troops can go straight to the bottom of Jilong Mountain through Xuanwu Lake, you can rest assured to the north of Jianye City.

When Taizu attacked the Southern Tang regime that occupied Jiangning, the most famous saying came from here: "Why can you sleep soundly on the side of the bed?" It seems that it is understandable: Why hit you? I don't like you.

Li Yu, the late lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a very unlucky monarch. When he ascended the throne, the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated by Huainan, lost its troops and lost its territory, the treasury was empty, and the court was panicked inside and outside. Li Yu had neither the talent for civilized governance nor the strategy for military governance, and only knew to be anxious. Li Yu was weak in character and lacked the spirit of a real man's heroic and fierce spirit. However, since he was the lord of a country, he was ordered to take on the heavy responsibility of cleaning up the mess in times of danger. Besides, Li Yu himself was not without courage, and he still had some plans to deal with the current difficulties.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he first submitted a speech to the Song court. Not only did he frequently pay tribute, but he was also more humble in etiquette, so he wanted to gain the favor of the other party, which was a bit of the late Qing Dynasty's attitude towards Western powers. Although the Southern Tang had already paid tribute at that time, the Song court's suspicion was not eliminated. Li Yu had to speak humbly to gain Zhao Kuangyin's tolerance, and also prevent problems before they happened, avoid accidental disputes caused by the invasion of Wu Yue, and prevented the use of troops in the Central Plains. Li Yu was not delaying time, but wanted to change the basic attitude of the Northern Song Dynasty towards the Southern Tang, hoping that others would not beat him, and of course he was just wishful thinking in the end. However, although Li Yu did not escape the fate of the country's destruction and family destruction and "a day he became a captive", at that time, the humble and respectful manner of the Southern Tang Dynasty made him maintain a peaceful situation for a period of time. After all, Taizu fought in the east and west, and the military expenditure was abundant, and he had to rest for a while.

Li Yu was a low-powered person in politics, but he was an artistic genius. He was good at calligraphy, painting, and had accomplishments in both poetry and prose, especially his achievements in poetry. For example, "Yu Meiren", he was called "Eternal Ci Emperor". He was completely carved from the same model as Huizong in the late Northern Song Dynasty. His ending was surprisingly similar. Later generations often compared him to the two of them. However, what caused him to lose his life was also the "Homeland is unbearable to look back" and "a river of spring water flows eastward" in "Yu Meiren", which has been passed down through the ages. Emperor Taizong of Song used this to use horse money to poison him, which was also called hiding the opportunity to kill him, and his ending was tragic.

The main components of Maxine are martin and Maxine. Edmund in "The Earl of Monte Cristo" used this thing to kill the judge's family. It can be seen that the means of revenge are unquestionable, and are common in ancient and modern times. Maxine will destroy the central nervous system, lead to strong reactions, and eventually lead to muscle atrophy, which is definitely comparable to those of the strange poisons of Crane Red. During this period, the poisoned person will suffocate, weak and convulse. The poisoned person will first have a hard neck, then his shoulders and legs spasm until the poisoned person curls into a bow shape. And as long as the poisoned person speaks or does movements, he will spasm again. The corpse will still twitch and have a hideous face. Taizong's viciousness can be seen from here.

Let’s talk about the attractions in Nanjing. The disaster-stricken Nanjing will be repatriated every two or three hundred years. So visiting Nanjing is like visiting antique shops, with traces of the erosion of the times everywhere. If you want to experience the romantic feelings of Wang Xie, you must go to Jiming Temple. Jiming Temple has a well that irrigated the garden. It is said that Chen Shubao, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, was addicted to beauty. When the Sui Dynasty army came, Chen Shubao hurriedly took Zhang Kong and two concubines to hide in the dry well of Jingyang Tower. Concubine Zhang and Concubine Kong were so scared that they burst into tears. The rouge flowed down wet the well railing, and the stone railings left rouge marks. This well was named Rouge Well.

The Mochou Lake, the "No. 1 Lake in the South of the Yangtze River", "No. 1 Scenic Spot in Jinling", and the "First of the Forty-eight Scenic Spots in Jinling", are located in Huayan Temple. The buildings, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions in the garden are arranged in a row, with willows on the embankment, crabapples and crabapples, and the lake water is rippling, and the blue waves shine. Shengqi Tower, Yujin Hall, river viewing hall, water pavilion, moon building, light pavilion, winding corridors are hidden in the mountains, stones, pine and bamboo, flowers and trees, and the green shades of flowers and trees. It is a pleasant scenery of "I want to compare Mochou to the West, but I can't judge right from wrong with the smoke and waves. But I feel that the West Lake loses, and the river sails are flying outside the clouds."

The Ten Miles of Qinhuai are the prosperous place in Nanjing. According to legend, when Qin Shihuang visited the east, he looked at the purple air above Jinling, thinking that it was a kingly spirit, so he dug square mountains and cut off the long ridges to form a ditch, and entered the river. Later generations mistakenly believed that this water was opened in the Qin Dynasty, so it was called "Qinhuai". One river was separated from the two sides of the river, and the Jiangnan Gongyuan, the general examination hall of the southern region's imperial examination, and the other was the gathering place of famous scholars in the southern region. Traveling from the pleasure boat in front of the Confucius Temple, I recalled the beautiful scenery of the past, the wind, flowers, snow and moon, the talented man and beauty, the ten miles of pearl curtains, and the six dynasties of gold and pink, which made people sigh. In the Song Dynasty, this place gradually revived as the center of culture and education in Jiangnan. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ten miles of Qinhuai ushered in the heyday of her history. The golden and pink towers were lined up, the pleasure boats were swaying, the sounds of the mullets, the lights and shadows made people think a lot.

The Nanjing Forbidden City, also known as the Ming Forbidden City, Nanjing Forbidden City, is the imperial palace of Yingtian Prefecture (Nanjing), the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It took more than 20 years to build and covers an area of ​​more than 1.0125 million square meters. It is the largest palace complex in the world in the Middle Ages and is called the "world's No. 1 Palace". As the master of ancient Chinese capital palace buildings, the Nanjing Forbidden City was inherited by the Beijing Forbidden City. Its architectural shape was the mother of the Ming official building and the blueprint of the Beijing Forbidden City.

Later, the Ming Forbidden City became a pile of rubble for three reasons: 1. Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing. There were only a few maintenance personnel in such a large Ming Forbidden City. Later, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were fires, and the foundation was sinking, which led to the abandonment of the Ming Forbidden City. 2. After the Qing army captured Nanjing, it began to ravage the Ming Forbidden City. First, the Nanjing Forbidden City had been changed to a city by the Qing court, and the bannermen all lived in the original Nanjing Forbidden City. Secondly, large-scale changes were made to the Nanjing Forbidden City, some halls were changed into generals and the chief yamen. Some halls were demolished and converted into residential houses for bannermen to live in. Basically, the Qing army repaired houses, and as long as any materials were missing, they would be demolished from the Ming Forbidden City. 3. When the Taiping Army captured Nanjing, a fierce battle with the Qing army in the city. The former palace became a battlefield. After the war, the former Ming Forbidden City was basically dead in name only.

Since 472 BC, King Goujian of Yue built the "Yuecheng", the Yuhuatai area has become a good place for climbing high and roars in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Three Kingdoms period, colorful stones were everywhere on the hills, also known as Shizigang, Agategang, and Jubaoshan. During the Southern Dynasty, Buddhism was prevalent. A monk named Master Yun Guang often set up an altar on the top of the mountain behind Gaozuo Temple. More than 500 monks sat cross-legged and listened, and the lecture was wonderful and melodious. The grand occasion was unprecedented. According to legend, this incident moved the Buddha, and the flowers fell like rain and turned into gorgeous stones everywhere. Yuhuatai was named after it. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the "Yuhua Preaching" and "The Wood-Mu Fenggao" in the scenic area were listed as one of the "Eighteen Scenery of Jinling" and "Forty-eight Scenery of Jinling" respectively. During the Republic of China, the prisoners in Nanjing were all under the Yuhuatai, and directly became the Caishikou of Beijing, which is now a martyr's cemetery.

Yanziji is located on Zhidu Mountain outside Nanjing. It is named after the stone peaks that are suddenly on the river and facing the sky on three sides. It is like a swallow spreading its wings and trying to fly. Zhidu Mountain is more than 40 meters high, connected to the river bank in the south, and the other three sides are surrounded by river water. The terrain is very dangerous. The rocks are surging under the rocks and are surging. It is an important Yangtze River ferry and military important place. It is called the world's number one corner of the Yangtze River. Han Shizhong later defeated Jin Wushu in Baguazhou near Yanziji. Let's talk about this later.

Speaking of food, Yuan Mei, one of the four great talents of the Qing Dynasty (the other three are Nalan Xingde, whose courtesy name is Rongruo; Ji Yun, whose courtesy name is Xiaolan; Zhou Yuhuang, who may not be familiar with this. This guy in "Kangxi Dictionary" is the editor-in-chief), wrote "Suiyuan Food List", which delicately describes the dietary conditions and cooking techniques in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Qianlong period. This guy is completely a gourmet, and now he can definitely be the director of "China on the Bite of the Tongue".
