Jin Shuben is really right, Feng Yunshan at this moment is sitting in the True God Hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and sitting in front of him is the righteous king Shi Dakai, the letter king Luo Xuan, as well as Liang Peiyou, the commander of the Fifth Division, Huang Yukun, the Minister of Justice, Zaiyuan, the commander of the Shunhan Division, and Liu Shengbang and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you today, but I have an important matter to ask. I've been hesitant and undecided, so I'd like to hear what you think! Feng Yunshan said.

Shi Da was moved happily and asked, "Your Majesty, but where are you worried about the capital of the empire?" ”

Feng Yunshan laughed and raised his thumb at Shi Dakai: "King Yi is worthy of being my minister, and he guessed my difficulty. Now that the empire has occupied the Qing demon's Beijing and captured the heavenly Tianjing, both of which are suitable places to be established as the national capital, I am embarrassed by the two places! ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were moved. The establishment of the national capital of the north and the south is related to the national fortune of a country, and the stakes are very high, no wonder His Majesty is so hesitant.

Since Shi Dakai guessed Feng Yunshan's thoughts, he naturally thought about it. He replied immediately: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Beijing has the benefits of Beijing, and Tianjing has the benefits of Tianjing. This matter is related to the foundation of the empire, but it is up to you, Your Majesty, to decide. Weichen just said it, Your Majesty will listen to it! ”

Wechen believes that the first choice is Beijing City. First, Beijing is the capital of the Qing Demon, and our empire will defeat the Qing Demon and seize its capital, so it is logical that it can be established as the national capital. Moreover, Beijing City is also the capital of Yuanmeng, Ming Dynasty and other countries, which is equivalent to more than three generations of Lidu and more than 500 years of ancient capital, indicating that its dragon veins are prosperous, but it is the place where the country was founded. Second, Beijing's geographical location is very suitable. It is located between the Yanyun Mountains and is blocked by the Great Wall, which greatly reduces the threat of the steppe Mongols. Not only that, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which has been built, can go directly to Tianjin, and eventually connect to the rich land of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and through Tianjin, it can also directly lead to overseas. ”

"Third, Your Majesty, in the city of Beijing, there are many palaces such as the Forbidden City, as well as gardens such as the Old Summer Palace, if you take it as the capital, you don't need to build it anymore, which can save a lot of money and benefit the country and the people." Shi Dakai talked about the advantages of the three capitals of Beijing, paused, and continued: "Your Majesty, the most important thing is that Beijing is located in the north, and the so-called north faces south, and there is a general trend of swallowing the world from north to south, which is the trend of the times and the will of the people. You can also use Beijing as a base to suppress Manchu and Mongolia and completely occupy the entire north! Of course, there are also disadvantages to being based in Beijing, and there is a shortage of grain in the north, so it has to be transported by sea from the south, which consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources. ”

Feng Yunshan thought about it, what Shi Dakai said, basically talked about the situation in Beijing, it seems that he has thought about this problem a lot.

He knows that what he is facing now is actually the same thing that happened during the change of regime in history, and the debate over whether to choose Beijing or Nanjing has never stopped!

It is undeniable that Beijing, as the national capital, does have its huge advantages, but it also has obvious disadvantages. In later generations, Sun Guofu did not choose Beijing, but chose Nanjing as the national capital, which naturally had his own considerations, but Yuan Datou's choice of Beijing as the national capital also had his selfish intentions. Putting these aside, just in later generations, after choosing Beijing as the national capital, there are still people who continue to provoke discussions on this topic, which in itself shows that there are some problems in Beijing as the national capital.

In fact, Beijing, as the capital, from the very beginning, was founded by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations explained that the Ming Dynasty Emperor wanted to guard the country in the northern Xinjiang, so the establishment of the capital in Beijing was to persecute and deal with the nomads, and in Feng Yunshan's view, it was mostly because Zhu Di did not want to return to the old capital Nanjing after usurping the throne, and he was used to his own fiefdom Beijing City, so he simply established this as the capital to correct his name.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty took Beijing as the capital, which led to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the hillbillies entered the city, and when they saw such a magnificent capital, they immediately established it as the national capital.

In this way, it seems that Beijing should be established as the national capital.

Feng Yunshan wanted to put aside these factors and listen to the opinions of the audience.

He turned his head to Luo Xuan and said, "King Xin, you also tell me your opinion." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the first choice is Tianjing City!" Luo Xuan looked at Shi Dakai with some embarrassment, and found that the latter happened to be looking at him as well, so he nodded hurriedly: "King Yi, Luo is not refuting your opinion, Beijing City is indeed very suitable for being the capital." But Luo thought that Tianjing was more suitable! ”

As he spoke, Luo Xuan stood up, saluted Feng Yunshan, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen also said three points. First, our Chinese Empire, originally called the Taiping Holy Kingdom, cannot be denied, it is from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Tianjing City is the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it continues to be the national capital, which is justifiable. Moreover, I heard that Tianjing City has been said to be 'tiger standing on the dragon plate' since ancient times, and it is a treasure land of feng shui, the ancient capital of all dynasties, and it has a much longer history than Beijing City. As a national capital, it is the most suitable! ”

"The second is geographical location. In this regard, the geographical location of Tianjing City is the best. Dominating the south bank of the Yangtze River, and being in the land of fish and rice, the Jiangnan water town is rich in grain production, silk weaving is prevalent, and there is no need to worry about food, clothing and transportation, as the best of the national capital. Moreover, Tianjing City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with the Yangtze River as a natural danger, set up a few heavy batteries to defend the river bank, you can stand on the ground, and you can protect the 10,000-year foundation of our Chinese Empire! ”

"The third is legitimacy! Beijing City is the capital of the Qing Demon, and if the empire takes it as the capital, it is suspected of inheriting the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Tianjing, on the other hand, has been the capital of all dynasties, and it is the real Han regime, which is the most orthodox. In addition, Hong Xiuquan built a huge Tianwang Mansion, and with a little transformation, it can be directly used as His Majesty's palace. After Luo Xuan finished speaking, he saluted Feng Yunshan and returned to his seat.

Feng Yunshan didn't expect that Luo Xuan, who had always been taciturn, could say so much, and he could analyze it well.

Indeed, purely from an economic point of view, Nanjing, located in the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River, is the best choice for establishing the national capital.

Feng Yunshan said to Liang Peiyou, Huang Yukun and Zaiyuan, as well as his personal guard Liu Shengbang: "What about you, what do you think? He had already decided, but he still tried to understand the opinions of the people around him.

Liang Peiyou stood up, scratched his head, and said, "Your Majesty, the last general has the same opinion as King Xin, and thinks that it is better for the capital to be the capital of the empire this day!" At least in the south, the brothers have a lot of living habits, and it is close to the Yangtze River, directly connected to the open sea, and it is much more convenient to return to Guangzhou. Of course, it would be better if Guangzhou could be positioned as the national capital. ”

Feng Yunshan smiled, this Liang Peiyou spoke really straightforwardly, and replied: "What Liang Aiqing said is very reasonable, to establish the capital, you must also take into account the living habits of your brothers!" However, Guangzhou is too remote to be the national capital. ”

Liang Peiyou scratched his head again in embarrassment and retreated to his seat.

Huang Yukun said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that Tianjing City is the best." This time I went to Beijing, Weichen saw that there were traces of the Qing Demon Manmeng Banner people stationed around, and even the villages outside Beijing, the streets and alleys in the city, were called with the characteristic names of the Manchu Tartars, what White Flag Lane, Baqizhuang, Beizitun and the like, Wechen thought that they would be abolished, so as not to leave disaster in the future. For this reason, the capital should not be built in Beijing. Tianjing City is different, it is just in the middle of my Chinese land, from Guangzhou in the south, Beijing in the north, Sichuan in the west and other places, you can gather to Tianjing, guarding the lifeblood of the entire Chinese land, it is the best place to build a country! ”

Feng Yunshan nodded, although Huang Yukun said something radical, he represented the views of a group of old brothers in Guangxi. He finally looked at the only Manchu vassal present, the original Prince Yi Zaiyuan. This ascended the throne and abdicated, and now he is named the Marquis of Shun Han, leading a 10,000-strong Shun Han division, consisting of more than 1,000 elites of the captive army as the backbone of the grassroots level, serving as a grassroots officer, leading 4,000 Manchu and Mongolian flag soldiers and 5,000 Han Manchu surrenderers, and using their families as hostages, so that this group of Manchu banner soldiers obediently sold their lives. Of course, in the middle, Zaigaki contributed a lot.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the capital of Beijing and Tianjing can be used! Everything is dictated by His Majesty! "Jaeyuan is a subordinate, he doesn't dare to say anything at all, he puts his status very low, so as not to arouse the envy of others.

The last Liu Shengbang also said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also feels that everything is subject to Your Majesty's holy judgment!" ”

Feng Yunshan pointed at Liu Shengbang and Zaiyuan and said with a smile: "Just the two of you, it's a big slippery head, let you have opinions, but you didn't say anything." ”
