This is located in the middle reaches of the river, connecting Bashu in the west, Wuyue in the east, the Central Plains in the north, and Hunan and Guizhou in the south, which can be described as "extending in all directions". As he spoke, Lu Qian stood up, took the whip and pointed it at the center of the Yangtze River, Jiangling. That is, where the old Zhao family moved the capital for the second time.

This place is also blessed, the water and land transportation is all developed, and it is known as the "thoroughfare of seven provinces" in later generations. It is not as good as the thoroughfare of the nine provinces of Greater Wuhan, but compared with Jiangling, the latter can deduct all its points with only one flood.

But the civil and military officials in the court saw clearly the place that Lu Qian was pointing to, and it turned out to be when the former Song Xing was in Jiangling, and they opened their eyes one by one. Helplessly, in the minds of a number of important ministers, although Jiangling City is good, it has never been in their consideration. Historically, with the exception of a few short-lived separatist forces, it has never been the capital of a unified dynasty.

That place is not as good as Jinling, there is no royal spirit!

"Your Majesty thinks twice. The terrain is flat, the waterway is very convenient, there is no danger to defend, once the war is ignited, the disaster is unpredictable. Zong Ze was the first to stand up against it. How the Qi army broke Jing Xiang was well known to everyone present.

Then there are Lin Chong, Wen Huanzhang and others, just like Jinling earlier, no one thought that it was suitable for Lidu.

Lu Qian laughed, since he was considering establishing the capital in Jiangling, he naturally had a comprehensive consideration. If nothing else, let's just say that after the capital is established like this, there is no need to worry about the problem of drinking water and food. You can't just get someone to shut up.

"It is close to the Yangtze River, and the water source is abundant. In the future, the agricultural water around the capital, the drinking water for the millions of soldiers and civilians in the city, the water for the large and small palaces, and the water for the city and the canal are all worry-free. It is also located in the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain. I was going to resettle the Lianghu region in the next time, and it would be even more effective to set up the capital like this. ”

"The plains of northern Hubei and southern Hunan provinces are vast and the water sources are abundant, which should be the land of fish and rice, a rich land. Today's bleakness is really Zhao Song's fault. Although the shores of Dongting Lake have been well developed, it is still far from the Ming Dynasty's "two lakes are ripe, and the world is full".

The economic status of the shores of Poyang Lake is now far better than that of Dongting Lake.

In the future, the Jianghan Plain, the Dongting Lake Plain, and the Poyang Lake Plain will all be developed, and Hugh said that the population of Jiangling will be millions in the future, that is, it will be doubled, and he will not be afraid.

Of course, Lu Qian also heard about the water conditions in Jiangling in the future. Coming from later generations, he lived in that era of information explosion, and he knew a lot of mixed joy. The famous Jingjiang flood distribution area.

——The so-called Jingjiang River refers to the Yangtze River on the first line of ancient Jingzhou. It is from the Zhijiang River in Hubei Province to the Chenglingji section of Yueyang County in Hunan Province, and naturally the current Jiangling has also been reported.

At that time, it was not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Korean War had not yet ended, and the domestic policy on the control of the Jingjiang River flood was to keep the water from the embankment and divide the flood and drain the water. That is, to free up a piece of land for flooding, "to store and discharge, and to discharge". In desperation, the lesser of two evils can be used to protect the safety of Wuhan, Jiujiang and other big cities downstream.

The reason for this is because the Jingjiang River is meandering, and it has always been known as the "Nine Curved Intestines". In the event of a summer flood, it will naturally be difficult to drain well.

To the north of a section of the Jingjiang River is the Guyunmeng Daze area, and to the south is the Dongting Lake area, which is already low-lying, so a large amount of sediment brought by the Yangtze River is deposited here. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the people began to build embankments and waterproofs, encircling Yunmeng Daze, and when the Ming Dynasty arrived, Fang built the continuous Jingjiang embankment in Jiangbei. But not now.

The sediment is also deposited, but it has not raised the riverbed of the Yangtze River above the plains on both sides of the river, and has become an "above-ground river".

It can be said that only from the perspective of floods, the Jiangling City in the official history is the Jingzhou flood that has only traces since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and now Jiangling is not to blame at all.

The water and land transportation is convenient, and there is no harm from flooding, at first glance, it is quite suitable.

"This place is close to Bashu, there is a road in the north leading to the Central Plains, and the south can be controlled to the south, so it can faintly suppress the two Guangzhou. On the east side, the Yangtze River is connected, and the Jianghuai and Jiangnan are also under control. ”

To tell the truth, Jiangling's geographical location is still a bit biased. If you are too close to the inland, you will have a strong control over the south, but for the Saibei grassland, for Liaodong, and for the Western Regions, the control is really a bit out of reach, and at the same time, it is a little southward. The geographical location is really not as good as Wuhan. But there are floods in Wuhan. Wuhan has been fighting floods every year in later generations, and in this era, the threat will only be greater. Ezhou has never been on his radar.

In addition to the lack of royal spirit, the only major flaw in Gangneung City is that it is not dangerous to defend. But I don't know if there is such a sentence, the solidity of the country is not in danger in Germany.

If this sentence is to say whether it makes sense, it makes sense. Just like Qin Shi Huang's Xianyang City back then, people just didn't have city walls. It's a pity that this sentence was used by Zhao Lao Er. With the sign of Zhao Song, the general civil and military forces of the dynasty really did not dare to ignore the word 'risk'.

However, it is also the word 'risk', which also covers the daimyo and Jinan. Both are equally unsafe.

Seeing that the civil and military forces in the hall were all opposed, Lu Qian smiled. Okay, then let's keep arguing and fighting. Compared with Jiangling, he is more willing to build the capital Jinling. However, Jinling was opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and he himself felt that the place was a little too remote.

It doesn't matter, horizontal and vertical is a multiple-choice question. Luoyang and Bianjing have been kicked out, and there are only four options left, and it depends on them to continue to tear them apart in the future.

Although this Yidu is becoming more and more cramped, he has never thought of moving the capital immediately.

……

After Lu Qian became emperor, he issued a letter calling for surrender. Before he became emperor, he had already sent envoys across the ocean, arrived in Japan, entered Heiankyo, and officially issued an edict to Japan. Let Japan obediently submit, so Lu Qian will canonize the Japanese lord as the king of Japan, equivalent to the king of Goryeo, and the king of the county.

This is not contempt in the eyes of the world.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, Japan always treated the Central Plains with respect and regarded them as teachers. And the real title of the latter is not 'Emperor', but Wawang. The reason for this has been going on for a long time. The so-called word "Japan" was changed by the Tang envoys, which means the place of the rising sun. And the king of Japan was given by Zhu Ming in the official history.

Lu Qian's willingness to canonize Toba as the king of Japan is a gesture of goodwill. Do you conform to the will of the Japanese people? The so-called emperor is basically the existence of the dark side, just like the lords of Goryeo and Annam in the official history, and the foreign emperor and the inner emperor are a common phenomenon in all countries in East Asia.

It's just that other countries are called emperors, such as the lord of Western Xia, who accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty as the king of Xia after the Qingli Peace Conference, and also accepted the canonization of Liao and Jin, but called the emperor internally, using the temple name and year name. The Dali monarch was also called the emperor internally, using his own era name, and was called king when interacting with the Song dynasty.

The title of emperor was coined by Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. The so-called emperor and queen of heaven, the two saints are in the court, and so is it. The Japanese sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to introduce this title to Dongying, and then it began to call itself like this internally. Its essence is not worth mentioning.

The reason why the Chinese in later generations were so disgusted was because of the deep blood feud between the two countries and their bitter hatred of Japan. In this way, it will be associated with the emperor> the emperor and the emperor. The Emperor literally, the Emperor of Heaven. But he is essentially an emperor, like a caliph in the heavenly world.

If the latter dares to refuse, it is the best. Lu Qian had an excuse to formally crusade against him. Unfortunately, the Japanese are very obedient, even ecstatic.

Although the main force of the Qi army's naval division went south, the warships left behind on the islands were invincible in the eyes of the Japanese. On the other side of Sado Island, after the country, pirates often invaded and plundered. His stature is all powerful and strong. Although few of them wore armor, and not all of them were armed with swords and guns, but everyone was armed with thick sticks and sticks, which were strong and indestructible, and the sound of the samurai sword slashing was like defeating the leather, which was not the ability of his people Ding Zhuang.

Heiankyo received letters one after another, and they had every reason to believe that those so-called giant pirates were the Chinese thieves on Sado Island.

The people in power were having a headache, and suddenly saw that China was waving its flag and shouting to recruit younger brothers, and there were a hundred willingness in their hearts. It was like immediately sending an envoy to Yidu so that he could report Japan's suffering to the upper country as soon as possible. As a result, the envoys they sent followed the Han envoys into Yidu by boat. But on the sea, they were separated.

It was overnight. The Japanese envoy ship, which was still approaching at dusk yesterday, disappeared the next day. Although there was a strong wind that night, it was not killed.

Helpless, Song Qing could only return to Yidu alone first. Naturally, the Japanese national letter and envoys did not arrive at the enthronement ceremony.

"The minister Song Qing has seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

As soon as Song Qing returned to the mansion that day, he was announced by Lu Qian into the Forbidden City. With his official position, he couldn't easily enter this imperial city. Along the way, Song Qing's eyes widened, his eyes hurt, and he didn't see that this so-called Forbidden City was very different from the Qi Palace earlier. Why don't you move the ground?

"Song Qing is flat, give a seat." Lu Qian had already known about the matter from Huang Qianshan's mouth, but the previous days of busyness made him not free for a moment, and he wanted to come to Song Qing to chat, but he didn't have time.

Today I finally have free time, Xuan Song Qing to see me, that is talking about Japan.

“…… Entering Heiankyo is like entering Middle-earth Seoul. "Yishui'er Tang-style architecture, in the eyes of the Song and Qing dynasties, although there is a sense of discord, after all, the architectural characteristics of the Song Dynasty are different from those of the Tang Dynasty, but they are generally still cordial. The fault is not that the crowd on the street is surging, but it is all people who are five feet tall, or even less than five feet, and Song and Qing will think that they are in Han Land.

As the political, cultural and economic center of Japan, the city is home to a large number of samurai. Pedestrians walking on the street can see people wearing long knives at their waists anytime and anywhere.

"How's it militar?"

"The ministers look at their soldiers, but they are also brave. However, most of the Japanese people are short in stature, and they are tall at five feet tall. And because he didn't eat poultry meat, he was far less stout than the Liaodong Jurchens. Song Qing, who knows a little about the management of the army, knows very well that the Japanese are physically unable to wear heavy armor, unable to pull a strong crossbow and a hard bow, and unable to endure a long battle. If you go to the battlefield and the two sides fight in formation, with the height of the Qi army and the armament of the Central Plains army, you will definitely be able to be ten.

Of course, although these Japanese people have a thin physique, they are not unscrupulous, as long as they are provided with good food and meat for a period of time, and then teach the battle array, they will raise their bodies to be strong, from low and thin to thick and powerful, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with.

There are 5 million Japanese people. Even if this 'samurai' has only just emerged for a hundred years, and the shogunate has not yet appeared on the stage, it is not to be underestimated. Think of Kublai Khan's two failed conquests......

"The current Japanese lord Zongren, can he still be repaid?" Emperor Shirakawa had forced his son Horikawa to death for the sake of power, and now he saw that his eldest grandson had grown from an unkempt child, and now he was eighteen years old, and even his son and daughter had been born, could he not be flustered?

Lu Qian knew nothing about Japanese history, and did not know that Emperor Shirakawa forced Emperor Shirakawa to abdicate in favor of his five-year-old son when he was twenty years old. As a result, in the history of Japan, there was a strange phenomenon of the three emperors of the French Emperor, the Emperor, and the Lord of Japan standing side by side.

But although he didn't know much about Japanese history, he did know a lot about Shirakawa. Judging by his actions, this is the master of power, and he will never watch the power fall. Therefore, "When the Japanese envoy arrives, I will order you to be the envoy and travel to Japan for the second time." Canonized Sohito as King of Japan. You have to work hard, don't let down my high hopes. ”

Song Qing heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately pressed the surprise in his heart, and retreated.
