The Regent's Tender Darling

Chapter 557 Nan Guo Wushuang

The boat sailed on the Shujiang River for two days and finally arrived at Yunchuan on the border of Yunzhou.

The sun was just rising, and Lin Jiaojiao sat on the bow of the boat, basking in the spring sunshine. She grabbed the edge of the boat at her chest with both hands, raised her face and closed her eyes to soak in the warm sun.

Xuemei Qingtao stood aside, Chen Qian held his chin in a daze, and for a while there was only the sound of the wind by the river and the chirping of birds in the forest.

The men who were accompanying them drank tea and played chess as usual. A chessboard is a world, with white stones and black stones interlaced, and a silent battle took place.

"Eh? Are we going to the Tianshu Grand Canal?" Xuemei could not help but speak in a low voice as she saw the boat change its direction.

This sound brought Lin Jiaojiao back from her idle thoughts. Looking at it, she was indeed reaching the Tianshu Grand Canal.

This Grand Canal was built by Nanguo Wushuang, the founding emperor of the Southern Kingdom. At that time, Nanguo Wushuang was only a general of Emperor Shu II.

Nan Guo Wushuang was one of the most valiant generals in history. He defeated the Huns in the 24th year of Emperor Shu's reign and stationed himself in Mobei to prevent the Huns from invading.

Nan Guo Wushuang's original name was Guo Wushuang. Nan was the imperial surname of Shu at that time. After Guo Wushuang defeated the Huns, he was given the imperial surname of Shu by the Emperor of Shu.

The current Wushuang City in Mobei was also named after the Second Emperor of Shu.

At the same time, Nan Guo Wushuang was also a strategic emperor.

The reason why Nanguo Wushuang became emperor was indirectly caused by the actions of Emperor Shu II.

The second emperor of Shu was cruel and unruly, which made the world angry and resentful, and he became rebellious everywhere. The ambitious Chu found an opportunity and began to invade Shu on a large scale.

When Nan Guo Wushuang, who was guarding Mobei, rushed back, more than half of Shu had already fallen! The Emperor of Shu fled to Dalongping in Yongzhou.

Nan Guo Wushuang united with the remnants of the Shu Navy, secretly gathered troops, and reorganized the Shu Navy on a rainy night in July! It took one month to recapture the three continents of Lan, Yun, and Su occupied by Da Chu, and defended Yanmen Pass to the death.

At this point, the world of Great Shu was bounded by the Great Ridge of Shu, and the five continents of Mozhou, Yongzhou, Yunzhou, Lanzhou, and Suzhou were all returned to Northern Shu, guarded by Nanguo Wushuang.

And Da Chu gathered his soldiers and stabilized the four continents of Da Shu: Xuzhou, Lianzhou, Jingzhou, and Shuzhou.

No matter how powerful the Chu army was, Nanguo Wushuang was determined to protect the only Northern Shu that the Emperor of Shu had.

In the 40th year of the reign of Emperor Shu II, Da Chu captured the descendants of Emperor Shu and promised huge profits to the Queen of Shu. They gave high officials generous salaries and enjoyed endless glory and wealth.

Therefore, the Queen of Shu betrayed Northern Shu. After the Emperor of Shu died of illness, she declared to the world as the successor of the Emperor of Shu that the Emperor of Shu was willing to bow to the great Chu!

For a time, Nan Guo Wushuang's stubborn defense of Northern Shu became a big joke. His passion for defending the country and all his bloody persistence became a joke.

In anger, Northern Shu chopped the dragon chair left by the Emperor of Shu into wood and burned it!

And Nan Guo Wushuang was supported by countless soldiers, wore a yellow robe, and built a new palace in Dalongping, Yongzhou.

He also announced to the world: Since I, Nan Guo Wushuang, and the soldiers have no country to defend, we will abandon the country and establish a new one! I also gave up my surname Guo and changed my name to Nan Wushuang!

Since then, the name of the country of Northern Shu was changed to Danan, but Nan Wushuang still established the Weiyang Palace for the Shu Emperor. Therefore, future generations still call the founding emperor of Danan the Kingdom of Nan Guo Wushuang.

It was built in the early days of the Southern Dynasty and required a lot of things. The south of the Yangtze River was rich, but it was far away from the capital, so transportation of both grain and wood was troublesome.

As the emperor of Danan, Nanguo Wushuang personally added a canal between the Tianshui River and Shujiang River, thus creating convenience for Danan and the people.

As the saying goes, "Third points go to the emperor, seven points go to the south of the Yangtze River." From the Jinlin Village Dam in Yunchuan City, the Tianshui River is intercepted and enters the Grand Canal, so that three thirds of the Tianshui River water flows along the Grand Canal to the lower Shu River, and seventy percent flows into the south of the Yangtze River.
