Liu Min stood on the wooden fence of the attic, looking to the east with his head held high; The east is the imperial city of Bianliang City, and the sun has not yet come out of the mountains; The faint morning light paints the corners of the city red.

Before the sun rises, it seems that the married lady always has to be shy to make some preparations; First use its own color to paint the sky and the earth scarlet, and then call the sleeping birds, whose chirps add a few sounds to the early morning of the city.

Liu Min was in this kind of meaning, and his thoughts were like a galloping horse, which he couldn't control.

This is the military camp of Xizhuo Road Street in Bianjing City, where 800 soldiers of Lu Chengyu's Tianxiang Army are stationed.

After Liu Min and Lu Chengyu met, they arranged for her to live in the Tianxiang Army barracks; But Liu Min thought that the main task of rushing to the border was to fight the epidemic and rescue the people; Let Hongyun, Green Apricot, Blue Plum, Bai Xue, Qiao Jie, Qiao Mei, Huo Renfu, Liang Ding, Huo Buffalo, Wang Yang, Zhao Ji, Chen Yiyun, Tu Youmei, Lai Zhenyue, Jiang Mengjun, Guo Yuquan, Wang Renqing 17 people join hands to purchase Chinese herbal medicine in major pharmacies in the capital.

The Chinese herbal medicine was full of ten carts, and the cost was 780 copper coins sent by Huang Qianpei and Luo Shuqing; Using 780 guan money to buy Chinese herbal medicine to fight the epidemic at the border is a wool out of the sheep, and it is also a manifestation of Liu Min's benevolence.

Liu Min learned from Zhang Hongji that there was an epidemic in the five continents of the Northland, and a large number of people died; Judged that it might be the plague.

There was no way to cure the plague in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the first person to cure the plague in China and even in the world should be Wu Liande, a doctor of medicine; His forced quarantine law has saved the lives of tens of millions of compatriots in Northeast China.

Liu Min was a doctor of medicine in later generations and traveled to the Song Dynasty; The plague on the five continents of the Northland should be able to be taken.

The 17 people of Hongyun pulled the ten-horse cart of Chinese herbs purchased back to the military camp on Zhulu Street, intending to transport them to the border with the grain and grass of the Western Expeditionary Army; Hongyun 17 people also accompanied the Chinese herbal medicine.

Gong Mei and Yang Cuihua were not included in the 17 people of Hongyun, and Liu Min asked Gong Mei to continue to stay in Dayang Silversmith to make his silverware; Yang Cuihua stayed in Xiangwang's Mansion and still worked as a scholar, of course, more often than not, she accompanied Xiangwang Zhao Heng.

Liu Min stood in front of the fence of the small attic and pondered the situation of Hongyun's 17 people purchasing Chinese herbal medicines, and his thoughts suddenly turned to the military castle-like Bianjing City in front of him.

The reason for the "Tokyo Menghualu" written by Meng Yuanlao of the Northern Song Dynasty is twofold: one is the private concern of gradually entering the evening scene of Sangyu: "I secretly think about the past, the economy is romantic, the human affection and the beauty, but it becomes hatred." ”

Another is public concern: "When you meet with relatives and talk about the past, you often don't think about it in the future. Servants are afraid of immersion for a long time, on its customs, lost in the facts, it is a pity, remember to compile a collection, Shu a few open volumes to see the prosperity of the time. ”

Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Menghualu" was written in Hangzhou, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, but he recorded his childhood and youth and witnessed the prosperity of Bianliang in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty was recognized by later generations as a prosperous and prosperous dynasty, but militarily it was a mentally retarded person; It has been in danger for a long time, sandwiched between Liao and Xia; It was a period of intense conflict between the farming peoples of the Central Plains and the nomadic peoples of the north and northwest.

Gyeonggi Kaifeng Bianliang, because it is located in the alluvial area of the Yellow River, the river is vertical and horizontal, and the transportation is really convenient. But militarily there is no danger to defend.

Therefore, the "outer city of the eastern capital" described at the beginning of the pen of Meng Yuanlao is, on the one hand, many water and land gates; "In the city, the tooth road is shaded by elm and willows."

On the other hand, in its bones, it is a fortified city with many defense facilities, a strict defense system, and outstanding military functions: the city is a dragon river, the city gate is an urn city, the iron window gate, the abduction city, and the horse face (defense facilities, similar to a fence. ), the war tent, the female head (a defensive facility, forming a female wall wall. ）； and store military garrison materials: every 200 paces a fortified treasury to store the imperial vessels; There is also the "20 commanders of Guanggu soldiers" who are responsible for the city's military engineering, and repair mud decorations every day.

In addition to these, the Northern Song Dynasty still had hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops inside and outside Bianliang City to defend the Beijing Division.

The prosperity in "Qingming Riverside Picture" and the prosperity in "Tokyo Menghualu" have actually been staged in this military city for 167 years.

Why did the Gyeonggi of the Northern Song Dynasty stubbornly set up in Kaifeng Bianliang, which was unsafe? There are really a lot of famous halls among them.

The Northern Song Dynasty built its capital in Bianliang, and set up the capital of Yingtianfu Nanjing (Shangqiu, Henan), Xijing (Luoyang, Henan), and Beijing (Hebei Daimyo), which was called the Four Capitals together with the national capital Kaifeng Prefecture Tokyo.

After Emperor Chai Zongxun took the throne the weekend, Zhao Kuangyin deprived the generals with heavy troops and the military generals of local officials and entrusted them with a vacant position; and changed to civilian officials to lead the army, and concentrated all military power and financial power to the central government; Put an end to the situation of separating feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty.

However, this also led to a passive situation in which the Song Dynasty did not have an advantage in the wars against the Liao State and the Western Xia, and was repeatedly beaten.

In the first year of Jingkang (1126 AD), the Jin army invaded the national capital Kaifeng, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished; A total of 167 years of nine emperors.

The largest ruling area of the Northern Song Dynasty was bounded by the Haihe River, Bazhou in Hebei, and Yanmen Pass in Shanxi Province in the north, and intersected with Liao; Northwest by Shaanxi Hengshan, eastern Gansu, Qinghai Huangshui and Xixia junction; The southwest is bordered by Minshan and Dadu River with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Dali State; It borders Guangxi with Vietnam.

The Northern Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era in ancient Chinese history in terms of economy, culture and education. In the third year of Song Zhenzong Xianping (1000 AD), the GDP was 26.55 billion US dollars, accounting for 22.7% of the world's total economic output, and the per capita GDP was 2280 US dollars.

At that time, the per capita GDP of Western Asia was $621, while that of Western Europe was $427. In 1820, the per capita GDP of the Qing Dynasty was US$600, and the per capita GDP of Britain after the completion of the first industrial revolution was US$1,250.

The Northern Song Dynasty was 800 years earlier than the Qing Dynasty, but its per capita GDP was $1,680 higher; In other words, the GDP of one person in the year of Zhenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty is 3.8 people in the Qing Dynasty, can you say that the Northern Song Dynasty is not rich, strong and prosperous?

Britain's first industrial revolution, which was touted by Westerners, had a per capita GDP of $1,030 less than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the population increased from 32.5 million in the fifth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation (980) to 112.75 million in the fourth year of Daguan (1110).

During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also unprecedentedly open to the outside world, and had close exchanges with Korea and Japan in East Asia. Ties to Vietnam and Indonesia were also strengthened in the southeast, and Song diplomacy also influenced West Asia and Africa.

Li Tao's "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian Long Edition" quoted Wang Yuyan's "Jianlong's Legacy", saying that Taizu asked about moving the capital and said, "I will move westward without it, and I want to go to redundant troops according to the victory of mountains and rivers, follow the stories of Zhou and Han, and settle the world." ”

And the King of Jin (Zhao Guangyi) sealed his throat with a very famous sentence: "There is no danger in Germany".

Taizu had no choice but to say after he went out, "The words of the King of Jin are so good, and I will follow them." In less than a hundred years, the people of the world are strong. ”

The earliest reason for Song Taizong's opposition to moving the capital was: the Beijing division had a million soldiers, and the whole family of Bian Qu Cao transported things from the southeast to support him. If you move to Duluo, I am afraid that water transportation will be difficult.

It was not the first time that Song Taizu had proposed to move the capital, he had been fortunate to be in Luoyang before; I once considered moving the capital to Luoyang.

After the suburbs, Taizu paid attention again, and the ministers did not dare to object; Only Li Huaizhong, the commander of the left and right carriages of the iron cavalry, opposed it on the grounds that hundreds of thousands of people were forbidden in Tokyo and relied on Bian Qu Caoyun.

Others opposed twice but failed to shake Song Taizu's will, but the exhortation of Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, changed Song Taizu's intentions.

It is worth noting that Zhao Guangyi, the king of the Jin Dynasty, certainly made a high-sounding reason for staying in Tokyo; But it seems to care about one person, and this person is Zhao Defang, the second son of Song Taizu.

A large number of later generations have studied a large number of materials to show that Song Taizu once identified Defang as his heir; And when Taizu was dying, the queen had been planning for Defang's accession to the throne.

So when it comes to Defang, I have to say his father-in-law Jiao Jixun; Jiao Jixun was the Yin of Henan Prefecture at that time to govern Luoyang, and the opposite was Zhao Guangyi, who was the Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture at the time.

Zhao Kuangyin went to Xijing and saw that the Luoyang palace was magnificent, and he was very happy. Summoned to Henan Mansion, the right military guard general Jiao Jixun face award of the Zhangde Festival envoy.

Jiao Jixun's daughter is the prince's wife Zhao Defang, and she is awarded the title of Yue; It is also based on Defang.

Zhao Guangyi has worked hard for many years to expand his power for Yin Shi, Kaifeng Mansion, which can be imagined; If the relocation of the capital to Luoyang is successful, it will be suppressed by Prince Defang, who has Jiao Jixun as his back.

This is absolutely intolerable for Song Taizong, who has always coveted the throne, which is why after Taizu refused the request of his ministers twice; Zhao Guangyi, who was the king of Jin at the time, still wanted to be righteous and strict, and the reason why he stayed in the capital and Bianliang.

In order to stay in Bianliang, Song Taizong was not just a high-sounding sentence like "there is no danger in Germany"; After he ascended the throne, he deleted the relevant records of his conflict with Taizu in the official history, so this historical fact is unexaminable.

Song Taizu's intention to move the capital to Luoyang was to use the risk of Luoyang to achieve the intention of reducing redundant troops. Taizong opposed the relocation of the capital, although it was called "in Germany", but the heavy taxes and huge transportation burden caused by the forbidden army must not be reduced, and Taizu's foresightful remarks "In less than a hundred years, the people of the world will be strong", from this point of view, how can it be said that "in Germany".

On the other hand, Zhao Guangyi, who was living in Kaifeng Mansion at that time, controlled the forbidden army stationed in Kaifeng was by no means comparable to Prince Defang and his father-in-law; This is also the core guarantee that Zhao Guangyi can ascend the throne safely.

Otherwise, with the rumors of "candlelight axe shadow", it shows that Taizong's throne is not recognized by everyone; If it weren't for the support of a strong military force, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for Ansheng to sit on the throne.

Looking at the turmoil of moving the capital in the early Song Dynasty, it can be seen that the core problem lies in the forbidden army and Cao Yun.

The reason why Kaifeng is important is Caoyun, and the reason why Caoyun is important is that the 100,000 forbidden troops in the early Song Dynasty relied on Caoyun to be supplied; And the forbidden army is the foundation for Taizu and Taizong to win the country, if it were not for Taizong's control of Kaifeng and the forbidden army, he would covet the country; The relocation of Taizu's capital is probably a different scene.

From the part of the machine transport, we can see that in the early Song Dynasty, the battle for the imperial capital was mainly between Kaifeng and Luoyang, although Taizu once said: "The move to Henan has not ended, and it should be moved to Chang'an for a long time." ”。

However, Chang'an was a ruined capital at this time, except for the name of the former capital of many dynasties in the previous dynasty; Because of the damage caused by the war and the abandonment of the country for many years, it can no longer function as a national capital.

Taizu is afraid that he can't take it seriously just by saying angry words, and the dispute between Luoyang and Kaifeng; I am afraid that the focus must be on the forbidden army and Cao Yun, although there is a consensus in this regard, but the specific details can still be considered......
