Chapter 793: The Imperial Palace must be high-end and high-grade

Judging from the map, in fact, Jinling can also be regarded as the eastern capital, but the Beijing division is the Beijing division, and it cannot be called the eastern capital, so the eastern capital can only be vacant and not set up.

Liu Bagou's excerpt can be said to be the result of painstaking efforts, because although Li Xuan has repeatedly revealed the tone of moving the capital to Jinling City, many people in the court are against it, and the reasons for opposition are messy, and there are all kinds of things.

Some people think that the capital should be moved to Wuchang, some think that they should go to Changsha or Zhengzhou, and some think that they should postpone it for a while, and then move the capital directly to Xianyang or Jingshi, of course, there are also those who think that they should stay in Zhaoqing.

When there was a lot of discussion, Liu Bagou naturally adhered to the will and unswervingly supported Li Xuan's decision to set the capital of Jinling, but in order to take care of the opinions of the ministers, he came out to accompany the capital again.

And there is only one companion to the pseudo-Ming, but we Datang directly come to three, that is, to be more than the pseudo-Ming, that is, to be more than the pseudo-Ming!

After Li Xuan saw this excerpt, in the morning meeting in the imperial study, he also said in a joking tone: "There is a difference between the southeast and the northwest, and if you have a chance in the future, you can also make the eastern capital!" ”

Other people didn't know what place Li Xuan was talking about, and thought they were talking about Hangzhou, Songjiang and other places, but no one knew that the eastern capital that Li Xuan was talking about at that time was actually Fusang Edo.

That day the unification of China, the navy is also awesome, landing on the Fusang Islands is necessary, what emperor is driven to the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish, and then build a colony, wouldn't it be beautiful to build an eastern capital, and wait for a few hundred years, future generations don't have to dream about what to eat, love, Ozawa, Mary or something, if you want to, you can go directly to it!

How great it must be to benefit the people hundreds of years from now!

Li Xuan himself admires his greatness and selflessness!

The matter of moving the capital, although there was a lot of discussion in the early stage, but when Liu Bagou's excerpt was approved by Li Xuan with a big quasi-word, it was announced that the dust had landed.

The capital was moved to Jinling, with Chang'an, Zhaoqing, and Jingshi as the accompanying capitals, and at the same time Xi'an was changed to Chang'an, Jingshi was renamed Youzhou, and Jinling was renamed Jingshi.

As a result, it was finally determined that Jinling was the capital, and it was renamed Jingshi, with Chang'an, Youzhou, and Zhaoqing as the accompanying capitals.

However, although this plan was formalized at the small court meeting, it was not possible to move the capital in a while, especially now that the Jiangnan region is not stable.

Now the Second Army only controls some areas south of the Yangtze River, Yu Dayou in Zhejiang is still alive, and more than 20,000 Ming troops in the south of Anqing Mansion are still entrenched in Chizhou and other areas.

Even if you want to move the capital, it will have to be later.

However, there are many things to move the capital, and many of them need to be prepared in advance, so Li Xuan sent many ministers to Beijing to fight the front station first, not to mention anything else, the problems of this palace always need to be solved.

Regarding the issue of the palace, the courtiers all suggested that the palace be reopened directly, but Li Xuan said directly: "When will it be repaired?" How much does it cost? ”

This question suddenly asked many ministers, because everyone is not stupid, they are very clear, the meaning behind Li Xuan's words is not to directly ask how long and how much, but to say, how long will it take to repair it before it can move the capital?

Is it possible to repair the palace for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? If it's going to be millions, tens of millions, where does the money come from? With this money, they are directly used as military expenses, and what kind of palace are they building?

Therefore, the cabinet put forward a compromise plan, still taking the Ming Palace as the imperial palace, and a large number of main buildings in the palace were slowly repaired, and if there was money, they would be repaired faster, and if they didn't have money, they would be repaired slowly, and they would be repaired for seven or eight years or even more than ten years.

In addition, the Han Wangfu on the west side of the palace is relatively well preserved, the place is also small, the scale of the project is not large, if the repair is urgent, it is expected to be completed in one or two years, and the Han Wangfu can be directly incorporated into the scope of the palace, and then live in it first.

Of course, even the Han Palace, because it has been idle for many years, although it is well preserved, but it takes time to repair it urgently, even if it is not as good as the Ming Imperial Palace to repair for more than ten or twenty years, but a year and a half is still needed, so it is a suggestion to first intact, at the same time large-scale, rich and luxurious Wei Guogong Mansion as a royal palace.

After Li Xuan went to Beijing, he first stayed in the royal courtyard, waited for the palace to be built, and then lived in the palace.

Li Xuan saw that this plan was okay!

Whether this palace is repaired or not, in fact, Li Xuan doesn't care much, he doesn't want to live in that broken place, but the key thing is that as an emperor, there must be a palace that is huge in scale and worthy of his status as a saint of the ages.

Therefore, this palace must also be repaired, and it must be repaired in a high-end atmosphere, luxurious, high-profile and connotative!

But this repair is repair, but Li Xuan is unwilling to repair it now, the Tang Dynasty, which is like a poor egg, most of the money is used to fight, how can there be money to repair the palace, so it is necessary to live in other places first.

And it would be better to directly use the Wei Mansion as a royal palace, save money, and it would not be much worse than the palace to live.

Therefore, Li Xuan also agreed to this plan, and now these ministers who went to Jinling to fight the front station are going to deal with various affairs first.

And Li Xuan himself began to prepare to move the capital in Zhaoqing!

For Li Xuan himself, the biggest problem of moving the capital is definitely not the palace, it is just a broken house, the real focus is that if the capital is to be moved to Jinling, it means that the political, economic, industrial, and military center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty will be moved to Jinling and nearby areas.

So there is a lot of preparation that needs to be done in advance.

According to the cabinet's estimates, if the capital is to be moved, excluding the soldiers of the military, at least one-third of the population of Zhaoqing will move with it.

Including the families of hundreds of officials and officials, and the families of soldiers and soldiers.

At the same time, there are a large number of craftsmen under the arsenal and the families of these craftsmen.

The current Tang Dynasty has a great business, and this relocation of the capital is no longer the same as in previous years, which can be said to be the move to the capital.

When the matter of moving the capital was decided and preparations for this began, the front-line troops on the Jiangnan side, also in order to meet the imminent arrival of the holy car, began to launch a large-scale offensive after a short rest.

It is said that it is large-scale, but in fact, it should be a simultaneous attack on multiple roads, and the strength of each road is actually not much, and the most counted of them is the Fifth Infantry Division that returned to Chizhou.

An Qingming's army crossed the river to the south, in fact, it had cut off the supply line of the Second Army, although it was said that the Second Army had defeated the 100,000 army of Wang Yiqi's army because of the capture of Jinling City, and captured a large amount of food, ammunition and other materials, and there was no shortage of supplies for a while, but it was naturally inappropriate for this supply line to be cut off by people like this.

Therefore, the Second Army needs to annihilate this Anqing Ming army or drive it back to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After learning the news that Wang Yiqi was defeated and died and Jinling was lost, the Anqing Ming army did not need to be killed by the Fifth Infantry Division at all, and they themselves crossed the river and ran back to Anqing first.

And Hangzhou, Zhejiang, was also easy to take, because the troops rushing to Hangzhou were quick and decisive, in fact, the officials and a small number of defenders in Hangzhou at this time had just learned that Wang Yiqi was defeated.

After occupying Hangzhou, it also means that Yu Dayou's troops in southern Zhejiang fell into repeated encirclement, and in the end, this Yu Dayou was also bold enough, directly with 20,000 Jiangnan New Army as victims, so that they could drag the pace of the Third Army's attack, and then he himself took 10,000 thief troops and 20,000 Jiangnan New Army, a total of 30,000 people fled north, but he naturally did not retreat to Hangzhou stupidly, let alone Jinling, but first went west, and put on a posture of desperately attacking Fuzhou and even Nanchang and Ganzhou.

Some of the Tang defenders in Jiangxi were taken aback, but they thought that they would make a false shot, so they directly found a loophole, and got the response of the Ming army's naval division in the direction of Guichi, and finally crossed the river and successfully returned to Anqing.

Of course, this wild escape, coupled with the fact that he still fought such a battle with the Tang Army, turned out that 30,000 people became less than 10,000.

Of the 50,000 troops, 20,000 were directly abandoned as victims, nearly 20,000 died on the way to escape, and only less than 10,000 escaped back to Anqing.

And what's interesting is that the less than 10,000 Ming troops who fled back to Anqing, all the thief army, as for the Jiangnan New Army, I'm sorry, it no longer exists.

Although Yu Dayou, who fled back to Anqing, lost his troops and was very embarrassed, many people also knew that the failure of this battle was not his fault, and he was also the only one of the few generals in the Ming Dynasty who dared to fight with the puppet Tang thief army, so the Ming Dynasty not only did not punish him, but appointed him as the chief soldier of Fengyang, commanding the thief army under his command and the Anqing garrison and the Ming army in Luzhou, Fengyang and other prefectures.

This is a newly created post of the General Army, the same as the Jiangbei General Army.

Since the defeat of Wang Yiqi, the remnants of the Ming army in Jinling City and other places in the south of the Yangtze River either died, were captured, or fled to Jiangbei, and finally most of them gathered in the Yangzhou area, and at the same time, all parts of Jiangbei urgently went south, in order to organize the Ming army of the pseudo-Tang thief army to the north, it was also mostly gathered in Yangzhou.

Because Yangzhou brought together many Ming troops who were not subordinate to each other, in order to unify the troops, the Ming Dynasty urgently set up the Jiangbei General Army here to command the Ming army in Yangzhou and other places.

The general army of Fengyang and the general army of Jiangbei, this is also the only reaction that the Ming Dynasty can make to the deterioration of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, although the Ming army in these two places is a little messy, and the total strength is not much, Anqing is only more than 30,000 people, Yangzhou is only more than 40,000 people, but these two places are strategic places, and after so many heavy defeats, the Ming army knows that it can't defend even if it is stupid.

And if the Tang Army wants to go north on a large scale, this canal must be taken.

Without the canal, the logistics department of the Privy Council would never dare to guarantee the security of logistics supplies that could maintain the northward movement of the army.

This Datang Army is not a cold weapon unit, as long as there is a bite to eat, you can go, the Datang Army is already a typical modern army, the consumption of ammunition is very large, there is no reliable material transportation channel, the guns in the hands of this army will become burning sticks in minutes.

In addition, just after taking Jiangnan, it is necessary to continue to conquer many cities in Jiangnan, and at the same time, it is also necessary to maintain heavy troops to suppress Jiangnan, a wealthy land, so as not to have any accidents, of course, more importantly, the second army and the third army have been fighting hard for more than a month, and the losses of the troops are also somewhat large, and the ammunition consumption is extremely huge, and it is urgent to replenish.

Therefore, the offensive of the Second Army and the Third Army was also stopped at the beginning of December!

And by this time, the entire Jiangnan was already under the control of Datang!
