Chapter 588: Canonization
Regarding the issue of the new dynasty setting the capital there, the Lin dynasty is not very unified within the country, and a considerable number of people think that the capital is Luo'an City, because Luo'an City is their old nest, and the Li Dynasty has a deep foundation here, and more than half of the officers in the military are all from Luo'an County.
There was no way, the Lin Dynasty started in Qingshan Town, and then gradually controlled Lianguan County.
The subsequent period of great development was also the period of control of Roan County.
When he took control of Luo'an County, in fact, the foundation of the entire system had been laid, and most of the senior generals in the army joined during this period.
In the old nest Dingdu, it is safe and can get a wide range of support.
Moreover, there is the Luo River that can be navigated, and the transportation is also convenient.
But many people are against it, and Wu Guanlin is against it in Luo'an County, the capital of Dingdu.
He believes that the layout of Luo'an City is too small, and this place has never been the political, economic, or cultural center of Daheng, or even a sub-center.
If you have to set up the capital in Nanhai Prefecture, the best choice is Luohai City, which has been the cultural, economic and political center of Daheng for several hundred years in recent years, with developed industry and commerce and a population of more than 800,000.
However, many people don't agree with Luo Hai City, well, they Luo An City doesn't agree either.
They believed that Nanhai Prefecture was located in the southern part of the empire, and whether it was Luohai City or Luo'an City, it had never been the center of the Great Heng people.
Because Nanhai Prefecture and even the entire Luohe River Basin are not the traditional core areas of the Daheng people.
The Daheng people originated in Jingzhou in the lower reaches of the Jing River, more precisely in the Fengyang area.
More than 1,000 years ago, the people of Daheng lived in the area of Fengyang, Jingzhou, and finally gradually expanded outward, laying the current 7.5 million square kilometers of land of the people of Daheng.
In the thousand-year history of Daheng, among the only six great unified dynasties in the front, the first five dynasties started regardless of where the royal family started, but their capital was in Fengyang, Jingzhou.
Fengyang, as the capital master of Daheng people, has been more than a thousand years!
During the Sixth Dynasty, the reason why Xiping was chosen was that Xiping was the place where the Ji family started, and another more important reason was that Fengyang was completely destroyed in the war, and reconstruction required great manpower and material resources.
If they say that they want to settle the capital in the west, it is better to say that they were forced!
Moreover, in the following three hundred years, the same has been discussed many times to move the capital to Fengyang.
Because they feel that whether it is from a geographical location, a political point of view, or an economic consideration, there is actually only one most suitable place, and that is Fengyang!
Lin Ziran looked at the map, looked at the location of Luo Hai City and Luo An City, then looked at the location of Xiping City of the Ji Clan's Jingshi, and then looked at the location of Fengyang, the traditional Jingshi.
At the same time, I was also thinking about the words of the courtiers in my heart, and now the courtiers must have big differences about it.
In Lin Ziran's own opinion, Luo'an City is definitely not good, this place is too small, this place can't even become the state city of Nanhai Prefecture, let alone become the capital of a country.
Luohai City is not bad, but it is located in the southern part of the empire, and it is too far away from other states, especially those in the northeast.
And these two cities in Nanhai Prefecture have a very important flaw, that is, there is no railway!
Because of the large number of tributaries of the Luo River and the development of river transportation in Nanhai Prefecture, the development of railways is relatively slow, with only some mining railways and small sections of railways.
This means that whether it is Luo'an City or Luohai City, the traffic will not be very convenient.
Fengyang, this place is the same as Luo'an, there are some pattern problems, if it is the era of cold weapons, this place is very suitable, it is located at the intersection of the main stream and tributaries of the Jinghe River, it is a very typical place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now it is not a cold weapon, under the cannon, the river is a fart.
This place is also more than 250 kilometers away from the mouth of the sea, and there is no railway through it now, so the transportation is not convenient.
Xiping City, this place is actually very good, has been built by the Ji Dynasty for three hundred years, is the largest city in contemporary Daheng, with perfect industrial and commercial facilities, more than 80 kilometers away from the sea, and the navigation conditions of this section of the river are very good, enough to navigate 10,000 tons of ironclad ships.
At the same time, there is also a south-Beijing state railway connection.
From the perspective of industrial and commercial economy, transportation, military defense, etc., this place is actually very suitable.
The only trouble is that there are probably more remnants of the previous dynasty in this place.
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Lin Ziran finally decided not to be unconventional in the matter of Dingdu, although he started in Nanhai Prefecture, there is no need to be afraid of Dingdu in the old nest.
After all, he is the emperor of the Daheng people, not just the emperor of the Nanhai people.
Therefore, Jingzhou, the traditional political center of the Daheng people, is better.
Fengyang, this place is inconvenient, the limitations are too great, and during the Sixth Dynasty, Fengyang has actually not been able to develop, and now it has only a population of more than 200,000, lacking the necessary building facilities.
Xiping City has perfect facilities, although it has been damaged by a certain amount of war before, but it can still be repaired.
There is also the palace of the Ji royal family here, even though the palace was damaged by arson in the previous battle of Jingshi, but it is only a small part of it, most of the building facilities are still perfect, and its inner city is still intact as a whole.
Because the Daheng unified army at that time did not launch a large-scale attack on the inner city, it bombarded it with heavy artillery.
All its destruction is basically the destruction of the rebels at the last moment, and the rebels have no heavy weapons in their hands, and they can't destroy much.
As for the remnants of the previous dynasty, this is not a problem, and it will be almost the same if there are a few purge operations.
After making a conclusion in his heart, Lin Ziran also hinted at his meaning, so on the fourth day of the meeting, a group of ministers clearly supported the capital of Xiping City.
Since the capital is Xiping City, there will definitely be a lot of affairs to deal with in Xiping City in the future, for example, the current Xiping City will definitely not be able to directly welcome Lin Ziran and other large number of military and political officials, and it needs to be rectified.
For example, the palace was repaired, the institutions and buildings in the inner city were sorted out, and some ill-intentioned people in the city were cleaned up.
For this reason, Lin Ziran sent Zhao Laoqi over.
Zhao Laoqi is currently the head of the patrol police department, and he is in charge of public security, which just happens to cooperate with the military to clean up the security in the city.
At the same time, he is also a member of the Senate, and Lin Ziran also appointed him to coordinate various affairs of the capital at the Senate meeting, so that he can handle other miscellaneous affairs in the name.
After Zhao Laoqi received the order, he immediately went to Xiping City in Beijing to prepare for the subsequent relocation of Lin Ziran and a large number of military and political dignitaries and the entire ruling body to Xiping City.
On the fifth day of the establishment of the new dynasty, Lin Ziran officially canonized Meng Yuling as the queen, and rewarded a group of nobles for meritorious deeds.
All this seems to be that the new Lin Dynasty has become the Seventh Dynasty of Daheng, but in fact, the six northern states are still openly resisting, and even more than half of the Jingzhou region is still under the control of the northern feudal towns.
The Lin Dynasty has to continue to work hard to reunify the northern states, so that when it calls itself the Great Heng Empire, it can be more justifiable and can be considered by the world as the seventh Great Unified Dynasty in the history of Great Heng!
