Moving the capital is an unavoidable problem.

Without him, just because Lin'an is really not suitable as the capital of a unified dynasty.

Even if it is only the capital of the Southern Dynasties, it is not suitable.

Li Luo opened the map and drew it in the north, "Before the Northern Song Dynasty, both economically and culturally, the north was always stronger than the south. Why can't the north now? The first is that too many wars have led to the southward migration of the population, and the second is that the long-term rule of the Khitan, Jin, Western Xia, and Mongol regimes has caused cultural decline and talent failure. The third is the deterioration of water conservancy and the environment. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "In other words, the southern economy and population are ahead for more than 100 years? ”

Li Luo nodded: "The fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was a watershed. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the north still had the upper hand. No, then Zhou can't beat Nantang. By the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the pressure of the Khitan and Western Xia, the suffering in the north deepened, and the north and the south began to be equally divided. The Northern Song Dynasty perished, and the south surpassed the north. ”

"Therefore, the future must be set in the north. On the one hand, the north is more strategically important militarily, and second, it can lead to the restoration of the economy and culture of the north. ”

"Our plan, Goryeo, Japan, Liaodong, Monan and Mobei, Western Regions, and Tubo are all to be taken. Then this capital, first of all, has the most important radiation role militarily. The second is that it has a cultural heritage, and the third is that the radiation effect is the strongest in the economy. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "So you have been hesitating whether to choose Beijing or Xi'an and Luoyang." I'm leaning towards Beijing. ”

"Then we're going to talk about it, and analyze it carefully." Li Luo sat down.

"First of all, militarily, where does the greatest threat to the future come from? Is it the Tohoku and Japan? With both the Tohoku and Japan regions on the mainland, there will be no threat to the Tohoku in the future. ”

"The biggest threat comes from the west! One is the Mongol Empire, the second is the Ottoman Empire, and the third is the Green East. What do you see become of the Western Regions and the Northwest in later generations? ”

"The oil-producing areas of Central and Western Asia are ready to be taken into their hands. Then military pressure on the western continent must be maintained for a long time. The Silk Road also needs to be revived. One of the good things that Meng Yuan did was to use the conquered to build a post station from the northwest to Eastern Europe, which was unprecedented. We must take advantage of this, and we must not let this post station that connects east and west be abandoned. ”

"Beijing is not suitable, it can only guard the northeast and the grasslands. However, it is difficult for the northeast and the grasslands to pose a major threat in the future, and their strategic and resource status is far inferior to that of the west. Therefore, Chang'an is the most suitable! ”

"Don't talk about sea power. Can the capital's proximity to the sea be conducive to the development of sea power? Isn't that? The Tokugawa shogunate was a coastal capital for hundreds of years, but it was closed to the country. The city of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties was close to the sea, and did it develop into a powerful country with sea power? Are there still many natural island countries that have developed sea power? ”

"London is not a coastal city, let alone Madrid and Paris, but Britain, Spain and France have all developed maritime powers. Is sea power a national policy and a strategic layout? It's not that the capital is not by the sea. ”

"If we have Chang'an, we can't develop sea power?"

Cui Xiuning listened to Li Luo's speech? Or was the opinion raised: "The Mongol Empire and the Ottoman Empire? The future is indeed the greatest threat unless we withdraw from Central and Western Asia. But the oil-producing areas of Central and Western Asia must be controlled? There is no way we can quit. ”

"From the perspective of military and oil resources, Chang'an, the capital of Dingdu, is indeed the most suitable. But the question is? Chang'an is overdeveloped? Serious soil erosion? Guanzhong is no longer a fertile land in Jincheng, can it still afford the capital of a big country? Grain transportation is a big problem. ”

Li Luo smiled, "So, preconceived ideas kill people." Have you ever been to the current Guanzhong? It is fundamentally different from the hereafter. Have you seen the historical map? Guanzhong until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty? Or lush? The vegetation is abundant. ”

"Guanzhong was seriously degraded, that is, in the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty ruled Guanzhong for more than 100 years and raised horses for more than 100 years! Xi'an was called Fengyuan in the Yuan Dynasty, and this name is not called in vain. Guanzhong Plain? On both sides of Weishui and the Yellow River, more than 100,000 horses have been raised for a long time! Guanzhong was Kublai Khan's fiefdom for a long time? He relied on the horsepower and material resources in the pass to compete for the Khan position. ”

"Zhao Kuangyin and Kublai Khan both wanted to set the capital in Xi'an. Zhao Kuangyin was powerless because of his younger brother's opposition. Kublai Khan finally gave up because he wanted to control his hometown in Mobei. ”

"Even Zhu Yuanzhang once wanted to set the capital of Xi'an. He once wrote a poem saying: The east wind wakes up the hero's dream, not Xianyang and Luoyang. He sent the crown prince Zhu Biao to inspect Guanzhong. After Zhu Biao came back, he played "Jingluo Jiandu Table" and asked for the construction of Chang'an. What does this mean? It shows that at least until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, although Guanzhong was destroyed because of the long-term horse breeding of the Yuan Dynasty, it was still able to do the capital. ”

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Then why did Zhu Yuanzhang give up Guanzhong again?" ”

"Good question, teach." Li Luo was energetic, "There are two reasons. First, Zhu Biao came back from Guanzhong and died of illness before he started to build Chang'an, which was the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad and his health was greatly affected. ”

"Second, the fief of King Zhu Fan of Qin was in Xi'an, which was the strongest feudal domain in the world at that time. He learned that his father wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, and he was afraid that his fief would be gone, so he ran to Zhu Yuanzhang to cry and object, begging not to move the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, imprisoned him, and prepared to abolish him. Zhu Biao pleaded before he died, and then let him go. ”

"These two things, plus other things, the construction of Chang'an has been put on hold for the time being. However, it has not been abolished, and in the Jianwen Dynasty, there is still a plan to build Chang'an. However, in a battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di seized the throne and was determined to move the capital to Beiping, which made Beijing City a few hundred years old. Beijing became the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the accident was too great. As for the Qing Dynasty, people's hometowns are in the northeast, and of course Beijing should be established as the capital. ”

"What about us? We are not Zhu Di, and our hometown is not in the Northeast and the grasslands, why should we make Beijing the capital? ”

Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "It seems that during the Tang Dynasty, the emperor often led hundreds of civil and military officials to Luoyang, and he ate whatever he wanted, it is said that the food in Guanzhong is not enough to eat, is it true?" ”

Li Luo smiled: "This is true, the son of heaven!" Tang Gaozong went to Luoyang three times to eat. Indeed, although Guanzhong was wealthy, there were too many people at that time, and there were frequent famines, and there was not enough food to eat. However, this is not the root cause. ”

"As early as the Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong often did not have enough food to eat, so it was definitely not a famine and population problem."

"The core issue is the crop variety! Guanzhong is the origin of corn (millet), and the history of corn cultivation is very ancient, and it is said that the Qin character of the Qin State comes from here. ”

"In the Tang Dynasty, the most planted was millet, and then buckwheat, and the most valuable wheat was planted the least. You know, the yield of millet is too low. It's less than half the size of wheat. And corn is low in calories and not as high in energy as wheat. ”

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty once issued an edict to promote wheat nine times, but because the flour grinding technology was not invented, wheat was too unpalatable, and it was called the food of savages, and not many people were willing to grow it. In particular, Guanzhong, where corn originated, excludes wheat. More than half of the wheat is planted in Henan, but the wheat in Guanzhong is less than half of the planting area. ”

"Wheat in Guanzhong has not been promoted for a long time. It was not until the middle of the Tang Dynasty that the promotion of wheat in Guanzhong improved, which was the main reason for eating Luoyang, and the old Qin people were too stubborn. This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty was so rich and strong, and he still had to eat Luoyang, but the late Tang Dynasty was not good, but he didn't eat Luoyang again. ”

Cui Xiuning asked, "It's not that simple, is it?" ”

Li Luo said: "Yes." In addition, wheat cultivation takes too much time, and the technology is far more complex than growing corn. The people of Guanzhong are the elite soldiers of the government, they need more spare time to train and fight, and they do not like to plant crops carefully, so wheat cannot be promoted in Guanzhong for a long time. ”

"Lao Shaanxi used corn as the staple food until the Song Dynasty. If the yield of corn is low and the energy is low, it will definitely not be enough to eat. But it's not without benefits. One is more drought resistant, and the other is that you can be lazy. Because planting millet is very simple, there are few flowers during farming. Why do you think Lao Shaanxi has more lazy people? That's why. ”

"I'll go!" Cui Xiuning shook his head, "Old Shaanxi lazy man is more because of this? I think that's. Wang Ba chanted the scriptures! ”

"Huh." Li Luo smiled, "Lao Shaanxi's laziness is not ordinary laziness. They are lazy to tending to the crops, but they are diligent in fighting! They're not really lazy. To put it bluntly, the old Qin people have been half peasants and half soldiers since ancient times, and they are unwilling to be pure farmers like the Henan people. ”

"Crop varieties were the main reason for the lack of food in Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, water conservancy is the old foundation, and for a long time, it only relied on the old foundation of water conservancy in the Western Han Dynasty of the Qin State, and its drought resistance was too poor. Third, there were too many aristocratic gate valves in Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty, and the land monopoly was too serious. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a strange incident that the emperor went to Luoyang to eat in a famine year, and the gate valve in Guanzhong also sold grain to other places. ”

"In short, the reasons are a lot more complex, but they are all technical, not what you think of as the deterioration of the natural environment. The current Guanzhong is far from the time when there are thousands of ravines. We will set the capital in Chang'an, solve the problem of crop arrangement, water conservancy and irrigation, and land monopoly, and we will not be afraid of running out of food. As long as we do a good job in environmental management planning, we will not be afraid of the emergence of the Loess Plateau in later generations. ”

Cui Xiuning felt that it made sense, "Then do you want to discuss it with the ministers again?" ”

Li Luo waved his hand, "Yuan Cong can't move back to Haidong, Jiangnan officials have to move the capital, Yizhou people want to move to Chengdu, and Huguang people want to move to Jiangling." We've all made up our minds, so why should we discuss with them? It is necessary to be arbitrary. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Guanzhong is still in the hands of the Yuan Court, and you can't move the capital to Chang'an if you want to." And now? You will be proclaimed emperor immediately, and there are only a few intact buildings left in this Song Palace, which is indeed not true. ”

Li Luo frowned and pondered, "Why don't you move to Jiangling temporarily?" ”

After Xiao Yin raised his army, he was anxious for pleasure and requisitioned tens of thousands of people to build a palace. By the time Xiao Liang perished, it had been completed.

Nowadays, there are three decent palaces in the whole south, one is the just-completed Jiangling Liang Palace, the second is the well-preserved Dali Palace, and the third is the Imperial Palace of Annam Yueguo.

As for the Lin'an Palace, it was almost destroyed by Meng Yuan. The Jiankang (Nanjing) Palace of the Southern Dynasty has long since disappeared. The Song Imperial Palace in Guangzhou was simply rebuilt by a yamen.

Come to think of it, Gangneung is the most suitable. Although the scale of the Liang Palace is not large, after all, according to the specifications of the palace, it took tens of thousands of people two years to build it.

Moreover, Jiangling is a big city along the Yangtze River in the Tang Kingdom, and has good control over Yizhou, Dali, and Huguang, and it is still a strategic location. For the time being, with Gangneung as the capital, it can digest Huguang as the fastest.

What's more, because Xiao Yin was born in a wealthy family, he pays attention to the imperial etiquette. Although he has only been the emperor for two years, there is no shortage of eunuchs and palace maids in the Liang Palace, and he can use them directly after screening. The divisions in the palace are also relatively complete.

"Gangneung is a temporary capital, but it's okay." Cui Xiuning has no opinion, "It is more conducive to controlling the entire south, and it is also conducive to our strategy of taking Guanzhong first in the Northern Expedition." ”

That's right, the northern strategy set by Li Luo, Wen Tianxiang and others is to take Guanzhong first!

The Yuan court traveled to the north of Henan and Jiangbei provinces and deployed 200,000 heavy troops. If the Tang army launched a battle to cross the river, it would have to fight the Yuan army in the densely populated Jiangbei of Henan.

The Northern Yuan Army is not a little stronger than the Southern Yuan Army. In the plain against the main force of the Yuan army, which was dominated by cavalry, one can imagine how many casualties the Tang army had.

Even if the war is won, Jiangbei's population loss is difficult to admit.

It's different if you take the customs first.

First of all, the main force of the Yuan army was not in Guanzhong. Secondly, the population of Guanzhong is not as dense as that of Jiangbei. The third is that there are dangerous passes such as Tongguan in the pass, which can isolate the main force of the Yuan army.

More importantly, Guanzhong's strategic position is too important. Once Guanzhong is occupied, it can overlook Heluo in the east, balance Hedong in the north, block the Yuan army in the Western Regions in the west, and control Yizhou and Jingxiang in the south. At the same time, it can also balance Tibet.

Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang. On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the posture of crossing the river and the Northern Expedition is the best strategy for strategic confusion, and then taking Guanzhong with a thunderous momentum.

If you take the Japanese kingdom of Goryeo, you will be able to encircle the Yuan court on three sides. Once a full-scale counteroffensive is launched, the Yuan army can be forced out of the Central Plains as quickly as possible and a long-term tug-of-war can be avoided.

"Then it's decided. Moved the capital to Gangneung and proclaimed himself emperor in Gangneung. Wait until Guanzhong is taken, and then use the captives to overhaul the Chang'an Palace. Li Luo made a decision.

Soon, an edict that shocked the government and the opposition was promulgated.

On April 15, the capital was moved to Gangneung, thinking that it was here.

Although the people of Lin'an are sad, even the minister of civil and military affairs can't think of moving the capital to Jiangling.

However, the edict said that the Gangneung palace was complete and could be used, and there was no need to build a new palace without labor.

None of the ministers objected, but they took the opportunity to write to persuade them again.

This time, not only the ministers of the central government, but also the generals who commanded the troops abroad, could not help but write letters one after another, imploring Li Luo to take the throne of the emperor.

Li Luo did not allow it, but ordered Yang Xu and Jiang Jun to lead the army to attack Bagan (Burma).

On April 15, the people of Lin'an shed tears all over the city to send off the holy king Li Luoxi, who had been in Lin'an for two years, to move to Jiangling.

Many Lin'an fathers knelt in front of the car and kept Li Luo.

"Saint King, Lin'an is sheng, and the treasure is enough to be the holy king!" These fathers and elders cried like children.

The ministers of civil and military affairs who moved west with them were a little embarrassed when they saw this.

Since ancient times, the emperor moved the capital, and the people were painfully retained, how many people could be retained?

Li Luo was very moved, and Cui Xiuning personally got out of the car, helped them up, and said to these fathers and elders: "Once the widow goes to Lin'an, he will never forget it." The people of Lin'an, the children of the widows, will always be concerned about their hearts......"

A father who was over seventy years old wept and said: "The king takes it as his responsibility to restore the world of the Han family, and the grass people dare not obstruct it." I wish the king and queen a long life, unify the world as soon as possible, and create a prosperous world. ”

Li Luo took his hand, "The words of the elder, no one dares to forget them." ”

The old man bowed down excitedly and said: "The king's words are serious, and the grass people are terrified!" ”

Li Luo helped him up and ordered: "Spread the widow's will, with Lin'an as Nanjing, located in the same state, and directly governed by the imperial court." ”

Haidong Luoning City has become Haijing, and now Lin'an has become Nanjing, and Datang already has two Beijings.

"Thank you, Holy King!"

"Thank you, Holy King Longen!"

The fathers and elders knelt down again, tears and dust.

"Let's go!"

"Boom!"

In the roar of artillery, hundreds of civil and military ministers, tens of thousands of forbidden troops, as well as palace guards, and a large number of family members, left Lin'an and headed west.

The entire city of Lin'an was full of people's cries.

Before Li Luo came, they were exploited by the Yuan court's heavy taxes, expropriated and extorted, regarded as slaves and maids, and lived a difficult and undignified life. A Mongol soldier can take them away as much as he wants.

But after Li Luo came, their burden was much lower than before, their heads were raised, and their waists were straightened. Compared to when Zhao Guan's family was still there, it was much better.

In just two years, Lin'an City has regained its former prosperity, relying on the kindness of the Holy King.

Now that Li Luo is gone, how can they not be sad?

Fortunately, the Holy King will not forget them, and he also takes Lin'an as Nanjing, which finally comforts them.

Queen Cui Xiuning hugged Li Yan, stood in the car and looked back at Lin'an, looking at the place where she had lived for two years, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

This was the case when he left Haidong, it was the same when he left Lin'an, and was it the same when he left Gangneung in the future?

When will it stop migrating?

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Duanyang Festival, the westward migration team finally arrived in Gangneung.

This big city along the river, which was the capital of Xiaoliang a few months ago, is now going to become the Tang Kingdom.

Gao Lang, who controlled Gangneung, immediately organized the people and officials to greet him. Tang lord Li Luo entered Jiangling in a grand welcome ceremony, and then entered the palace of Liang Guo, which had long been cleaned up.

"King, that's Suzaku Gate." The hard work of the driver pointed to the east gate and introduced to Li Luo.

Looking at Xiao Liang Palace, I also felt a little feeling in my heart. She was familiar with this place, but this time she came here, and her mood was completely different.

Li Luo entered the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were screened and retained knelt on the square in front of the Guangming Palace, and there were two or three thousand people. Coupled with the original existence of the Tang Palace, there are already more than 4,000 people.

Most of the eunuchs and court maids were teenagers.

Li Luo was speechless. Xiao Yin is really a sin. actually received so many small eunuchs. Of course, these little eunuchs had no food to eat and couldn't support their families, so they voluntarily castrated into the palace, but it was not forced by Xiao Yin.

No matter what, it's better than starving to death.

"King, teacher, this Liang Palace has three major halls and four palaces. It is used for the court meeting, called the Hall of Light......" The Tang Dynasty spy, the former Liang Guoshangshu Ling Gao Lang introduced.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning looked at this Hall of Light, and couldn't help but slander Xiao Yin for being extravagant.

The Hall of Light is not too big, and it is not much bigger than the Guide Hall in Lin'an. However, the glazed tiles are used, and the murals are brilliant, pasted with gold and jade, which looks very gorgeous.

Xiao Yin started to build the palace as soon as he joined the army. Moreover, he is the Lord of the White Lotus Sect, and he has a lot of underground energy, and he has ambitious plans to build the palace long before he started the army. Even the building materials and master craftsmen were ready before the army.

Therefore, although the scale of Xiaoliang Palace is not large, it is well planned and complete, and it is definitely not hastily built.

Exquisite and gorgeous, small but not narrow, are the characteristics of this palace.

The female officials and eunuch leaders of the Duke of Tang took away the eunuchs and palace maids of the Liang Palace as soon as possible and reassigned their duties. And the guards searched everywhere.

After some tossing, Li Luo was officially promoted to the throne in the Hall of Light and accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials.

"King Long Live Jin'an!" Hundreds of courtiers knelt down and bowed, and their movements were very neat.

Li Luo sat in the spacious and brighter Hall of Light, and only then did he feel different from in the Hall of Guide.

That's right, this Hall of Light is what it looks like to be a Jinluan Palace. Not to mention the rest, it is this jade-inlaid red sandalwood dragon throne, and the carved screen of the Kyushu rivers and mountains behind the throne, which is not available in Lin'an.

"Zhu Qing is flat." Li Luowen said.

"King Xie!" The ministers stood up after saluting.

Gao Lang first came out and played: "King, Xiaoliang Palace, also called Daming Palace, this palace is called the Hall of Light." Do you want to change your name? ”

The new lord occupies the old palace, and the name must be changed, this is the rule.

Li Luo thought for a while, "Daming Palace will be given Guanghua Palace, and the Guangming Palace will be changed to Guangzheng Palace." ”

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Luo issued an edict to appease the people of Jiangling.

…………

On the eighth day of the fifth month, Yang Xu of Yang Tho Baa City led 30,000 troops south to attack Burma.

And Jiang Jun, a Tang general stationed in Annam, also led 30,000 troops to the east to attack Burma.

The Yuan troops stationed in Burma were all Han troops and barbarian soldiers, and they had long been fluctuating in military morale and panicking. As soon as the Tang Army of the two routes invaded Burma, the 50,000 Yuan Army stationed in Burma immediately collapsed.

In late May, the Tang army captured the city of Bagan, the former king of Bagan, and made Bagan princess Aya the queen of Bagan.

was supported by the Tang army to ascend the throne Queen Deaya, and the first royal order was to declare himself a vassal to the Tang State and change Bagan City to Kong Ming City. This is because Bagan has many Kong Minh temples that worship the Marquis of Wu.

Queen Aya's second royal mandate was to set up a county in Bagan. The whole country of Bagan was set up as nine counties and forty-nine counties, and the generals in the Tang army were appointed as county officials.

Bagan de facto became a place under the control of the Tang Army stationed in Burma.

In mid-June, Chen Yiji, the king of Annam, who had only reigned for four months, issued an edict "The Edict of the Return of the Jing Navy to Xia", announcing the return of the whole country to China.

The hearts of the people of Annam are extremely complicated, but the lord of the country personally issued the "Edict of Returning to Xia", and the Tang army was stationed, and the hard bones had already been killed by the Yuan army, how could they resist?

Besides, most people are indeed Chinese immigrants, and Annan was indeed a part of China before, with the same culture and species, and they don't have much sense of resistance.

Li Luo received Chen Yiji's "Jing Hai Returns to Xia Zhao", and immediately issued an edict to entitle Chen Yiji as Jing Haihou and a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

At the same time, Annan was officially changed to Jiaozhou, and the power of Jiaozhou began to be transferred to Jiaozhou Mu Chen Yu. Wen Tianxiang, who had been regent for four months, returned to the court.

At this point, Annan officially returned to Tang!
