Tomorrow at the end
In the autumn of the eleventh year of Tiance, an edict that attracted attention from the world was issued to the whole country: the following year - the twelfth year of Tiance - New Year's Day, will be the official day of the new capital Beijing.
There will definitely be a large ceremony on the day of the formal migration, but it is impossible for all residents to wait until that day to move in. Before the imperial edict was issued, new residents had actually moved in one after another in the residential area - mainly the military families of the Tang army of Tiance. After the government order was issued, government departments and merchants in Youzhou also sent people to the city to sort out their new homes.
The new capital has a grand layout. In terms of general direction, the aesthetic design of the Huaxia capital building "Nine Classics and Nine Widths, Jingtu Nine Tracks, Left and Zuoye Society" is still retained, but it has been repaired according to actual needs. The palace where the emperor lives is still the core of the entire capital. However, under Zhang Mai's insistence, the regulations of the harem have changed, and the large royal garden has become semi-public facilities.
The regulations of administrative regions echo the existing administrative system of the Tiance Tang Dynasty: the palace of the Emperor faces north and south; the correction platform is located in the middle of the capital and stands north; the central government system is in the east, and it is combined with it is a large and large administrative agency that is bound to become increasingly large; the Privy Council military system is in the west, and it corresponds to various large and large schoolyards, military research institutes, military equipment manufacturing institutes, military academy and imperial guards; the Hanlin Academy-centered academic system is in the northeast, which corresponds to a larger college system than the jungle of Kucha Academy; the court and supervision system is centered on the court and supervision station in the northwest; and to the south of the correction platform are large-scale residential areas and commercial areas.
The construction of the entire capital city has been completed, with the leveling of the nine vertical and nine horizontal roads. The palaces, ancestral temples, government and other official facilities and the residential houses of meritorious military families from financial appropriations, while the construction of commercial and residential areas is managed by the people according to the planning of the capital city. Overall, the market structure of the Han and Tang cities was abandoned and converted into a street system.
The city defense system still includes city gates, city walls, city towers and moats - but only nine city towers and moats were completed, and the other fortifications are still under construction - the current Tiance Tang Dynasty is in an offensive state of expansion. Even when the Khitan approached Yanjing, Yang Yi was not afraid that something would happen to the new city where tens of thousands of Tang army members lived at that time.
If the complete plan is followed, the Xindu may not be completely completed in 30 years. What is now completed can only be considered the first phase of the project, and various facilities are enough to allow the new capital to operate well. Unlike the construction of capitals in previous dynasties, this time the capital construction was not only driven by more than 100,000 prisoners of war, but almost all the domestic contracts were recruited for free. Employees must pay wages, and materials must be paid. Therefore, although the government's financial expenditure this time, the Xindu construction has caused a huge business chain.
After the government decree was promulgated, the gentry, who had not yet built a city house but had obtained land, also stepped up the construction of various houses.
Before New Year's Day, the first batch of residents who moved in - plus various migrant populations - conservatively estimated that they would exceed 100,000. In this era, a population of 100,000 can be considered a large city in the world except China, but compared with this huge empire that is in its infancy, the size of a population of 100,000 is just beginning.

At the same time, news came from the West - the Grand Marshal is coming back!
After entering the Guanzhong Plain, the carriage and horses turned to the water road and went upstream. Soon they arrived near Chang'an. Yang Yi, Zheng Wei, Guo Fen and others came by land. Later, they arrived first and were waiting at the wharf with Zhang Mai. Thousands of people stood in accordance with the military formation on the south bank of the Wei River - these were already everyone who could reach the entire territory of Tiance and Tang Dynasty. Among them, hundreds of them were already gray-haired, and thousands of young children. Some teenagers were still in their infancy on the expedition. Now they have grown up, and those children under the age of teenagers are born after moving east.
Guo Luo, Yang Yi, Zheng Wei and Lu Jialing each brought a child and carried Yang Dingguo and his bed off the boat. Zhang Mai, Guo Fen, the eldest son and the prince, led all the old Anxi subordinates. They shouted in unison on the dock: "Please give the Deputy Protector to the Military Parade!"
Deputy Protector!
Deputy Protector of Anxi!
This is Yang Dingguo’s official official when he was in the Western Regions!
Yang Dingguo knew that his body could not be very happy and sad, so he held back his tears, but some old men in Anxi were already crying.
This cry is not sadness, but a touching feeling of ultimate satisfaction in life expectations.
Thinking about when he was trapped in the desperate realm, Guo Shidao was known as the Protector of Anxi, and Yang Dingguo was known as the Deputy Protector of Anxi, but there was only a small new Thousand Ye City. At that time, he secretly claimed that the Protector even thought it was ridiculous in private. However, who would laugh now? Everyone took it for granted. Even the title of the Protector of Anxi, the Deputy Protector of Anxi became one of the most glorious titles of the dynasty.
Reality can always modify history. If the descendants are successful, they will make their ancestors become more and more great. If the descendants are not successful, they will even lower their historical evaluations. Greece and Rome after the Renaissance were the former. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties were the latter. However, in this time and space, everything will change.
——————————
In the late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was destroyed.
Recently, after Liu Zhiyuan entered, many defensive fortifications were built. Today, Chang'an City is surrounded by eight waters during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the grand scene of the dynasty of all nations is beyond recognition!
However, this does not prevent the remembrance of thousands of former Anxi subordinates.
Chang'an. Chang'an is a holy land in the mind for the Tang army in Anxi. No matter how her current appearance becomes, in the minds of all Tang people, she will always be the irreplaceable spiritual capital of this country!
Liu Zhiyuan's subordinates had been cleared out three hundred miles away by Guo Wei. Now Chang'an City is full of the New Tang army. Everyone disdained the newly built fortifications and rushed directly to the remaining Fortress Wall in the northwest.
Yang Dingguo trembled out of bed with the help of Zhang Mai and Guo Luo, called Zhang Mai "Special Envoy" and looked at Guo Luo again. Guo Luo, who had already grown bearded, looked more like Master Guo in middle-aged. I don't know if it was deliberately or confused, he called "Major Protector", and then suddenly crawled on the ground, pinched a handful of weathered soil and dust from the old city walls, put it in his mouth, and burst out laughing loudly: "Chang'an! Chang'an! We are back! Old brothers! Have you seen it? We are back......"
His smile froze suddenly, and he didn't move. Yang Yi already understood what was going on. He saved his father and cried loudly, crying while crying.
Chapter completed!
