Chapter 792: Moving the Capital

In mid-November, the latest issue of the Tang Dynasty newspaper published news that shocked the whole world, that is, the victory of Jianping!

According to the report, under the wise guidance of Li Xuan, the glorious and great Ancient Sage Monarch who is greater than the sun, the Second Army of the Tang Army, which was glorious and fearless, fought bravely, won the victory of the Jiangnan Strategic Armageddon: the Battle of Jianping with an absolute overwhelming advantage.

In this battle, our second army was killed and wounded but more than 100 hundred, that is, with an absolute superiority to annihilate the puppet Ming 100,000 army, the thief leader was defeated with a banner, greedy for life and afraid of death, and even left 100,000 troops and fled alone, but the sky net was restored and not leaked, and finally the king thief was caught up and killed by the heroic and invincible second army of our army.

In this battle, the 100,000 army of the king thief was all buried in one day, no less than 40,000 were killed and wounded on the spot, and most of the rest were captured.

After this battle, the puppet Ming in the land of the south of the Yangtze River, there is no soldier who can resist my Tang Dynasty royal division, and countless prefectures and counties have surrendered to my glorious and great Tang Dynasty on the initiative to surrender.

The grace of the Holy Monarch will spread all over the land south of the Yangtze River, and tens of millions of people trapped under the tyrannical rule of the Puppet Ming will usher in a new and beautiful new life!

Long live Datang!

Long live the Ancient Sage, long live, long live!

The headline report on the first page of this issue is to report on the first battle of Jianping, of course, a number of editors-in-chief of the Ministry of Rites and Newspapers Department jointly authored, and in this article that has been repeatedly revised, the sentences that talk about the specific process of the Jianping Battle occupy only one-tenth of the page.

And the remaining 50% of the words are repeated praise for Li Xuan!

There are also about two-tenths of the words, which describe how the civil and military officials worked hard under the leadership of Li Xuan.

There are also about two-tenths of the words to describe how the soldiers of the Second Army fought under the leadership of Li Xuan.

Well, if you count them all, the number of words related to Li Xuan accounts for at least 90%!

In short, it was the Holy Monarch Li Xuan who won this battle, and the others only made a small effort.

In the follow-up report of the second edition, there is more space to introduce this battle and the subsequent related impacts, of course, the Tang Dynasty newspaper will naturally not publicly report the details of this battle, which are all military secrets, and what is reported are some superficial things, such as reporting on typical examples of several war heroes.

And more is to report more follow-up impacts, especially talking about what positive impact and what advantages will be given to the arrival of the Tang Dynasty after the army occupies Jiangnan.

In the end, I did not forget to encourage a sentence or two, saying that the market in Jiangnan has been opened to the industrial and commercial circles, and whether or not we can seize the opportunity to make a fortune depends on whether everyone's actions are fast enough.

In this issue of the Tang Dynasty newspaper, half of the reports on the pages are related to the Battle of Jianping and Jiangnan, and most of people's attention is also attracted by the above, and they don't care much about other content.

As soon as the news came out, the world was naturally shocked, because as long as people who have a little understanding of the situation in the world can guess what the future will be from this matter: it is really possible for the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Ming Dynasty and unify China!

No matter how bad it is, the Tang Dynasty can also rule with the Ming Dynasty, and this situation can last for at least several decades, because no matter how you look at it now, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty in a short time.

Decades later, not many people cared, but now they care about the fact that the Tang Dynasty really ruled many areas south of the Yangtze River, and it was already a de facto equal share of the world with the Ming Dynasty.

Such a result is something that many people can guess, even if their brains are not good and they can't guess, then the multiple pages behind the Tang Dynasty newspaper also discuss the impact of this war from many aspects, of course, they are all positive impacts on the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty newspaper is to let them know, or tell them: Our Datang is very good, and we will soon be able to unify China!

Those who followed our Datang in the past, you will get more benefits!

And those who don't plan to follow our Tang Dynasty yet, don't hurry up and get on the bus, it's too late, but they won't be able to buy tickets.

In short, the task of the Tang Dynasty Newspaper Department is to use this victory to expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible, and to promote people's sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty.

And this is also the reason why Li Xuan set up the Tang Dynasty newspaper in the first place!

The people in Guizhou, Liangguang and other provinces who have lived under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for several years are mostly smiling, and in the past few years, even if they have not been able to have a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, they have actually had almost inseparable interests with the Tang Dynasty.

Ordinary people, benefiting from the agricultural tax and land policy of the Tang Dynasty, have already received many benefits, and they are unwilling to lose this benefit.

The gentry class, although they suffered certain losses in agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, but by the Tang Dynasty's policy of supporting industry and commerce, many people have begun to transfer funds from simple land to industry and commerce, and have benefited a lot.

When a gentry makes a lot of money from industry and commerce, ten or a hundred gentry around him will follow suit and devote themselves to industry and commerce, and then make money.

To put it mildly, as long as they opened workshops and factories and made money in industry and commerce, then they would basically be inseparable from the Tang Dynasty.

This opened a factory, need cheaper raw materials, need a broader market, raw materials don't talk about first, just say this market, although the Tang Dynasty is vigorously developing sea trade, goods have been sold to all parts of East Asia and even Europe, but to be honest, in this era, there is no place than Jiangnan and the northern provinces and other areas that are still under the Ming Dynasty is their better market!

For the army to conquer Jiangnan, many gentry who invested in industry and commerce, especially in new industries, maintained a great welcome attitude towards this, which can be seen from their actual actions.

Those bold businessmen almost followed the army with their goods, and when the army reached Jiangnan, their goods were sold to Jiangnan.

Industry and commerce are only one of the points that the Tang Dynasty has a close relationship with the gentry, and another important point is that the Tang Dynasty has been open for several years, although the content of the imperial examination is frequently criticized by the old scholars, but there are still countless students who have entered the official through the imperial examination.

They not only have jinshi, but also show talents, because in the Tang Dynasty, even if they are show talents, they can directly obtain the qualifications for election officials.

And in contemporary times, behind every reader is a family!

So many scholars were officials in the Tang Dynasty, which represented countless gentry families!

Although nothing can be seen on the surface, in fact, the development of the Tang Dynasty to this day has been kidnapped with the interests of countless people.

Therefore, in this battle of Jianping, countless people and gentry under the command of the Tang Dynasty were happy.

In Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces that had just been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, many gentry and other people under their rule also began to seriously examine the feasibility of truly joining the Tang Dynasty.

And these are the roles played by the Tang Dynasty newspaper.

If there is no report from the Tang Dynasty, even if the battle of Jianping is won, the impact is estimated to not affect the whole world.

This issue of the Tang Dynasty newspaper caused huge fluctuations, and the new issue also caused a shock, because in the new newspaper, it reported that the Second Army officially conquered Jinling City, and focused on the details of Jinling City's civil and military officials leading the city's military and civilians to take the initiative to surrender.

A large number of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, although they are all second-rate characters in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the really awesome officials are in Beijing, but their grades are placed there, and there are many of them, which is enough to prove the great martial arts of the Tang Dynasty.

However, although the capture of Jinling City also caused a sensation, many people were already able to guess when they saw the last issue of the Tang Dynasty newspaper that it was only a matter of time before the Second Army took Jinling City, so although there was a sensation, it was not as sensational as the Battle of Jianping.

People are more concerned about another thing, and that is to move the capital.

You must know that many of the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty have heard Li Xuan say with their own ears that they will drink the Qinhuai River and move the capital to Jinling one day, so the matter of moving the capital is not a secret in the Tang Dynasty, nor is it a topic that cannot be talked about.

Therefore, this time in the Tang Dynasty newspaper, there are also comment articles to analyze, after conquering Jinling City, whether it is feasible to move the capital to Jinling City, if the capital is moved, when to move the capital, and so on.

There is no doubt that this is under Li Xuan's instructions, and he began to ventilate the matter of moving the capital in advance, after all, as an emperor, even if he wants to move the capital, he can't say it himself, there have to be courtiers.

Soon, the excerpt sent by Li Chunjing from Jinling City was sent to Zhaoqing, and Li Chunjing officially requested to move the capital to Jinling City.

But Hao Bonian also quickly came to the folds, saying that the capital should be moved to the old capital, that is, Chang'an, although Chang'an has not yet been taken, but it can be set up in Wuchang.

However, soon some people folded up, thinking that Zhaoqing is the best, so don't go, just Zhaoqing!

For this kind of chaos, as the head of the hundred officials, Liu Bagou soon also got on the fold, and his excerpt is more interesting, he asked to move the capital to Jinling, with Jinling as the Beijing division, but at the same time with Zhaoqing as the southern capital, with the Beijing division as the northern capital, and Chang'an as the western capital.

Okay, this directly regards the capital of Beijing that has not yet been taken as the northern capital, and Chang'an as the western capital.

And it's just one east capital away from being able to get together the southeast and northwest.
