7. Lu Jiu moved the capital

The plan that Gao Yue brought out in public was like this:

Solving the matter of the Xuanwu Army involves the two major separatist towns of Weibo and Ziqing, so it must be fast, and it must be dealt with vigorously and resolutely before the other side reacts, in short, from now on, it is necessary to prepare a capable bureaucratic team, as well as a thorough military plan, in addition to detailed aftermath matters.

The ultimate goal is to turn the long-term semi-divided Xuanwu Army, that is, the critical area of the Biansong Dynasty, into the "hinterland of the province" of the imperial court.

As for the excuse for starting the incident, it was naturally that the Zhongshu Sect forcibly demanded Bozhou, which now belonged to the Xuanwu Army, and wanted to include it in the newly established "Huaixi (Huaicai) Province" to provoke the Xuanwu Army.

"There's also a spare excuse for both." Gao Yue added.

That is, he dug the Weigong Cao Canal in Jiminggang in Luzhou, and after entering Huai through Shouchun, he went to Yingshui and Caishui, but in the end he was still going to the Pipa Ditch of the Tongji Canal in Bianzhou, and then entered the Heyin Transfer Yard to connect to the Yellow River waterway, and the Tongji Canal (that is, Bianshui) of the Biansong Dynasty is the same way, so he can use the reason of "protecting the new Cao Canal" to mobilize the imperial court soldiers and horses in the Dongdu, Heyang, Zhenghua, and Chenxu areas to build a new military barrier at the Pipa Ditch.

And the new construction in the Kanto region, or even just the addition of the city fortress, can touch the most sensitive nerves between the imperial court and Fang Zhen, and if you want to turn your face, this is the most convenient path for any party.

Henan Province, is the Tang Dynasty to maintain the entire Cao Yun system of the hub, Anshi Rebellion, here became the official army and the rebel fierce tug-of-war zone, for a long time rebellion, disputes are one after another, and finally the Tang Dynasty compromised, to all the states and counties are not counted, the right to pay taxes and personnel rights are all handed over to Henan's Zhujie Du envoys, in exchange for the thoroughness of the Caoqu, and hope to use the strong army of Henan Province, the north to resist Heshuo, the south of the town of Jianghuai, but it turns out that this is just wishful thinking: especially the Xuanwu army guarding the Biansong Dynasty, Soon became no less than, or even surpassing, the Tianxiong Army (Wei Bo) and the Ping Lu Army (Ziqing).

Therefore, if the Xuanwu Army is solved and provincialized, the imperial court will have no worries about the national plan, so that it can logically further suppress the Tianxiong Army, the Pinglu Army, and then the German Army and the Lu Long Army, and unify the world again.

At the same time, it is also necessary to appropriately fragment the provinces in the core of the hinterland so that they cannot resist the forces of the central government, and gradually bring the administrative and leading forces of the provinces under the control of the central power, so as to eliminate the source of military rebellion.

And in order to accomplish all this, there must be three conditions.

First, the central and local prime ministers have a strong executive power, and as long as they cause obstacles to them, whether they are imperial power or local separatist regimes, they must be ruthlessly eliminated;

The second is that the prime ministers have to work hard, and they have to be the most powerful elites of this era to accomplish such a magnificent feat without being constrained;

Thirdly, the elite prime ministers also had to formulate a set of perfect and self-consistent regulations, and control the political system for a long time, which was passed on to future generations, according to the standard set by Gao Yue, that is, "the Chengping era can allow relatively mediocre governance, and can also guide the development and colonization of China; And in the era of turmoil, it can also allow the talents of the heroes to be displayed and save China."

But whether this system will eventually be destroyed in the storm of the alliance between heroes and populists with huge ambitions, Gao Yue has no time to take care of it, even if it is maintained for two or three hundred years, as long as there is this system, then the "popularity" of the Chinese people in the world of great changes will eventually have a hope, a template, and will not be cut off and sunk, nor will it be numb.

This is where Gao Yue's hard work lies, whether he fights or compromises, he is sincere, he is hypocritical, it is not for this.

But the road ahead is still quite difficult, war, ideological change, political reform, etc., all have to be trekked by Gao Yue to overcome obstacles, and he needs to thirst for allies, even if they are centrists.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what we want is not only a round discussion between the prime minister of Zhongshu and the provincial peace of the book, but also a quick transfer. As long as the Xuanwu Army is resolved, then it will be split and belong to different provinces in the middle of the line, and any attempt to rely on Cao Yun to be self-righteous will be completely smashed. In addition, we have to quickly dredge the Zhan Canal to the northeast of the Biansong Dynasty, which runs parallel to the Yongji Canal, which is the basis for us to level the Lu Army and the Tianxiong Army in the future. ”

Needless to say, the Yongji Canal was dug by Wu Zetian, which introduced Bianshui and flowed eastward into Juyeze (very huge at that time), and this canal was also the predecessor of the Guangji Canal in the Song Dynasty, the purpose of which was to transfer taxes around Yanzhou.

Now Gao Yue wants to use Zhanqu as a supply line to support the war against the Pinglu Army, so he has to settle the Xuanwu Army first.

Because "according to the wax pill book secretly transmitted back by the Japanese monk (Tianhai) who passed through Ziqing, although Li Shigu stole the land of the twelve states in the east of Henan, he could really supply the needs of his Pinglu army, which was the six states of Yan, Yun, Cao, Zi, Qing and Pu, the six states were rich in farmland and developed in weaving, and there were salt, copper, iron and other minerals, Yan, Yun, Cao and Pu all surrounded Juyeze, and Qing and Zi entered the sea along the Yongji Canal, and Deng, Lai, Yi and Hai were these prefectures and counties, according to the Tianhai monk, he went from Shanyang to Dengzhou in Chuzhou, Huaihai, The road is full of mountains and wilderness, the grass and trees are high and deep, and the gnats and flies are like rain, and you have to travel seventy or eighty miles to see a few families. Therefore, Gao Yue's strategic plan was to send troops out in several ways and directly aim at Ju Yeze, forcing Li Shigu to have to fight a decisive battle with the official army on this basis, and then annihilate it.

After everyone dispersed one after another, only Lu Zhen remained, and it seemed that he had something to say to Gao Yue.

In the autumn night, Lu Zhen's expression was very subtle, and he probably thought about why the emperor chose Gao Yue when he ascended the throne, and Zheng, if it was still in the past, the emperor should trust himself more than Zheng Cai.

But everything is irreparable, since the Pei Yanling incident, there has been an irreparable rift between him and the emperor.

Gao Yue also seemed to see Lu Jiu's thoughts, so he was ready to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhen took the lead in speaking and asked Gao Yue: "Yisong, now you and I are both doing things for the world, and since I was appointed as the prime minister, I have always adhered to this concept. I'm not afraid to be trapped by a personal affair with a master, but I'm worried about you......"

These words made Gao Yue speechless.

After all, in private, he was too deeply involved with the emperor and even the emperor's family.

Lu Zhen took a step further below, "I don't know what you and Zheng Wenming heard Your Majesty say a few days ago, on the mound?" ”

Gao Yue was even more silent and did not answer, he knew that it was impossible for Lu Zhen to ask Zheng at all, he had to ask himself.

Lu Zhen didn't delve into it, but his next words shocked Gao Yue even more: "There is no need to know anything, Yi Song you want to divide the Taoist and political systems, and go their own way, this should be the best medicine to solve the problem, but it is not enough to separate the reason, but it is also necessary to divide the signature." It is better to take advantage of the opportunity to calm down the Biansong Dynasty and conquer Wei Bo and Ziqing, and move the Zhongshu Sect to the east and Luoyang in the form of a camp shogunate! 2k reading network
