Chapter 788: The Province
Han Qian only entered this ancient heroic city that had gone through tribulations and tribulations a month after the recovery of Bianliang City a month later.
In the middle and late stages before the fall of the dynasty in advance, Bianliang City experienced many wars, after Emperor Gaozu created the foundation of Daliang in Bianliang, the Jin army crossed the Yu River many times and attacked under Bianliang City, but it did not break the city and enter.
Or after the Heshuo Incident, Han Yuanqi and Chen Kun led their troops to aid Bianliang, according to the more than two years of confrontation between Bianliang City and Wei Bo's rebels, it was the most thorough and tragic time for Bianliang to be devastated by the war in the past 30 years.
At the peak of Bianliang, there were more than 400,000 households in Waiguo City alone.
In the past month, Han Yuanqi ordered more than 60,000 prisoners and their families to be relocated to the banks of Wushui and Yingshui to fill in the large areas of uninhabited land created by the war and floods, and finally fewer than 3,000 households and 20,000 people in Bianliang City were able to remain and settle in the city after being examined......
Gu Qian, Chen Juezhong and others, who accompanied Han Qian to Bianliang, were also embarrassed when they saw the old capital full of devastation.
Huang Ligong was originally a key building complex restored after Zhu Rang stole Bianliang, and it was originally regarded as maintaining the prosperity of Bianliang City in the past, but in the end, before the city fell, it was still burned down by Zhu Rang, and the Liang army finally cleaned up more than 2,000 burned beyond recognition, miserable corpses, most of which were civilian children who were forced to enter the palace in recent years to serve as eunuchs and palace maids.
"Zhu Rang set fire in front, and the generals who attacked the city didn't have time to extinguish the fire at all, Liang Ren drove more than 200 men, women and children in the mansion to the backyard to set fire to the backyard after the city was broken, and finally extinguished the fire and rescued more than 120 people, but half of them were choked to death by the smoke," Seeing that Han Qian ordered the car to be parked in front of Liang Ren's mansion that was destroyed by the fire, Han Yuanqi talked about the situation of fighting the fire after the siege of the city, and asked, "Do you want to bring Liang Ren here?" ”
"More than a hundred innocent lives that could have been immortal were buried in the fire, and among them were his own wives and children, such a hard-hearted person, what do I see him do?" Han Qian shook his head and said, "If I hadn't abolished a lot of torture a long time ago, I should have given him a taste of what it was like to be roasted on fire, and now he could only be hanged, which would be cheaper for him." As for Zhu Rang, you can choose a place to set up a monument to him as a tyrant, and write down all his bad deeds and deeds to warn future generations. Now Bianliang is in ruins, it can be said that it is completely in ruins, and the capital of Henan Province is determined to be placed in Bianliang, or you still have to suffer a few more years of hard life in Yuanqi......"
The reconstruction of Bianliang City will not be a day's work, and this will be one of the key tasks of the Henan Provincial Economic and Strategic Envoy and the Provincial Envoy in the next few years.
In contrast, there are no substantial obstacles to military operations in Henan.
It took only five days to capture Bianliang City, and then the Second Central Camp Army was responsible for garrisoning Bianliang, and Lin Haizheng, Wei Xu, Feng Zhang and others led the Henan Camp Army to continue along the south bank of the Yu River and advance eastward.
Han Donghu led the second central camp army to stay in Bianliang, not that he had suffered any heavy losses in the attack on Bianliang City, and that he needed any rest and replenishment, but that the prefecture and county towns east of Bianliang were almost in the wind and fell, and there was no need to send too many or seventy thousand troops to the land of Hehuai.
The 2nd Central Marching Army, which had undertaken heavier combat tasks in the early stage, naturally stayed in Bianliang to continue to rest and recuperate, waiting to participate in the next stage of the war.
At this time, Li Xiu had also led the Heshuo camp army out of Yizhou to recover Dingzhou, Hengzhou and other places in the north of the river, and then divided the troops to Dingzhou and Hengzhou, and some of them swept away to Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Yanzhou at the southern foot of Yanshan, and part of them advanced to the north bank of the Yuhe River to recover the cities along the line, and the two roads did not encounter any resistance.
Wen Bo sent troops from Taiyuan Mansion after the year, and he has also recovered Xinzhou, Ulzhou and other places.
According to this situation, almost by mid-to-late April, except for Yunzhou north of Yanshan and Liaodong, the soldiers and horses of Daliang were able to recover almost all the prefectures and counties north of the Huai River.
It is easy to win the world immediately, but it is not easy to rule the world under the horse.
At present, Han Qian has made it clear that he will fully implement the provincial system, and will further subdivide it on the basis of the ten provincial envoys of the previous dynasty, and at the same time, he will also make it clear that the capital of each province will be the center of economic, political, and cultural construction for key construction.
The determination of where the provincial capital is located is the most important interest of the local factional forces, and even if Han Qian's power is strong enough, some of his decisions still cause some controversy in the DPRK.
For example, he had previously decided to divide Weibo and other prefectures on the north bank of the Yu River into the newly established Heshuo Province, and at the same time did not choose Weizhou, Bozhou or Dingzhou, which were relatively prosperous and located on the main land post road at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, as the capital of Heshuo Province, but asked Li Xiu to choose a place to build a new city in the desolate coastal area east of Jizhou as the capital of Heshuo Province, which was very puzzling in the court.
This time, Han Qian personally inspected the Bianliang City recovered after the war, entered the palace prepared for him by Han Yuanqi, and set up a banquet to reward the accompanying generals, the generals of Henan Province, and Sima Tan, Sima De's uncle and nephew, Xu Sizhao, Xu Jin, Zhou Kun and others who came from Xu Si and Songzhou to meet him.
Han Qian did not set his sights on Jeju or Xuzhou, which were more prosperous and closer to the national capital Luoyang, but rather Mizhou, which was located in a corner and faced the Yellow Water.
At present, Zhao Qi has led the forward soldiers and horses into Mizhou City, and Han Qian intends to rush to Mizhou with Han Chengmeng to serve as the governor of Mizhou Prefecture, and meet with Lin Haizheng, Zhao Qi, Wei Xu and others to prepare for the establishment of the province as soon as possible.
For such a decision, many generals and ministers were also quite surprised.
Although Han Qian also explained during the banquet that with the further development of navigation technology and maritime trade, the economic and cultural center of gravity of Daliang will inevitably be tilted towards the coastal zone, and at this time, the newly established capital of Shandong Province will be located in Mizhou, which is offshore and conducive to speeding up this process, but in the eyes of many people, the choice of Xuzhou, which is more prosperous and located in the center of inland waterways, has more or less the meaning of punishing Sima.
Sima Tan and Sima De's uncle and nephew may also think so in their hearts, but at this time, they can only call the king Shengming.
The banquet was withdrawn, and all the generals and ministers went back to the hall to rest, Han Qian was not sleepy, so he sat in front of the desk and read the letters handed over from all over the place, Yun He pushed the door and walked in, holding a letter, and said to Han Qian: "Luoyang Academy has recruited a team of sailors, and plans to take a newly built sailboat from Mengzhou at the end of next month, and go east to sea along the Yu River to test the new measurement method......"
"This is a good thing, but it's a pity that I may have to go to East Lake next month, otherwise I can go to Mengzhou to meet these crew members and give them a strong trip." Han Qian said with regret.
The determination of latitude and longitude with the new heliocentric theory, supplemented by more accurate timekeeping tools and stargazing locators, is the key to the new geodesy of the future and to go to the ocean without the coastline.
However, new technologies and methods need to be verified, corrected and perfected by long-distance navigation; These are highly adventurous behaviors.
Han Qian did not directly designate the navy or relevant central institutions to directly organize manpower to carry out considerable voyage experiments, but asked Luoyang University to spend a lot of money to recruit volunteers, and the intention was also to engrave the spirit of adventure and exploration into the collective will of the Chinese people.
"Your Excellency's decision to set up the new provincial capital in Mizhou today seems to be quite puzzling to many people." Yunhe said.
"This is certain, even if Gu Qian, Feng Yi and Zhihe can be said to be the heroes of choice in the world, but their first consideration at this time is the stability of the beam. From this point of view, the choice of Heshuo and the capital of Shandong Province should be arranged around the national capital Luoyang as much as possible, and Weizhou and Xuzhou are better choices, rather than those coastal wastelands where birds do not poop and are often hit by storms. But I can't just think about that,"
Han Qian said with a smile,
"With the development of Daliang's new learning at this time, there is no problem in maintaining a leading position in the world for hundreds of years, which will also promote Daliang's national strength, and it is possible to maintain prosperity in a hundred years, without fear of internal and external troubles. However, if the beam really focuses too much on the pursuit of stability, it is very likely that it will eventually lose the motivation for continuous breakthroughs and sustainable development within the country. And when the Liang one day rests on his laurels and is arrogant, one day it will make the development of overseas countries and countries in the new school stand above the Liang, and then the Liang will usher in a new catastrophe. On the ocean, the stormy waves are extremely dangerous, and ships are destroyed and people die at every turn, but it is precisely the danger that inspires people to continue to explore, fight with the sky and the earth, rather than simply fight with people. ”
"......" Yun He looked at Han Qian with his cheeks on his cheeks, and said with a smile, "Looking at the indifferent expressions of Uncle Sima Tan's nephews, they think that the king is deliberately punishing them!" ”
"It doesn't matter what they think." Han Qian said with a smile, looking at the charming face under the clouds and lights, the beautiful eyes with affection were flowing with charming and emotional light, and the skin was as delicate as a girl.
Yunhe sat under her hips with the hem cushion in the warm room, and outlined her slender but plump waist and plump buttocks without a sense of burden, like a fully ripe peach that people want to swallow in one bite.
"It's so late, it's time to rest, I've been busy discussing things with the public for the past few days, and it's not good for you to rest every day, so we can rest early today!" Han Qian stood up, grabbed Yun He's gentle and soft little hand, and wanted to untie her skirt and completely possess the jade-like beauty again.
"Ah......" Yun He grabbed Han Qian's hand and said shyly, "Yun He is afraid that he will not be able to serve you today." ”
"What's wrong?" Han Qian asked.
"Somehow, I've felt sick these days, and I don't have the heart to eat anything, I'm afraid I can't wait for you to go south." Yunhe said.
"Huh?" Han Qian stretched out his hand and touched Yun and his flat and soft lower abdomen through his skirt, told her to lie down in his arms, and asked, "Have you seen the imperial doctor to check your pulse?" ”
"Why is Yun He embarrassed to go to the imperial doctor and say that the king has been rude to Yun?" Yun He comfortably pillowed Han Qian's thighs, but covered his hot face with his hands, so that Han Qian's burning eyes would not stare at her.
"That's right, I'll call Gu Qian and Feng Yi to come over and draft an edict!" Han Qian patted his forehead and said.
"Then you can't make the chickens and dogs jump so late, let's talk about it tomorrow......" Yunhe grabbed Han Qian's hand and held it in his arms, feeling extremely relieved when she lay down like this, she didn't know when, she was completely infatuated with this man who was more majestic than her father and more worthy of her admiration, thinking that he couldn't help but untie her skirt for the first time, she was so excited that she trembled first......
