Chapter 1053: The Necessity of Moving the Capital
The Six Kingdoms combined to attack Qin, which lasted for three years, and it was not until today that the curtain came to an end. Qin and Zhao stopped fighting with force, and the last war in the world was finally extinguished.
……
Qin Gong Yingfei attacked Guanzhong, broke Chang'an in one fell swoop, and completely occupied the west of Hangu Pass, which made Qin completely powerful among the Seven Kingdoms.
The six countries combined to attack Qin, but let Qin Gong Yingfei take the lead, and while defeating the six countries, he occupied 800 miles of Qinchuan, completely putting Qin in a strategic advantage.
Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in hand, the east of the Qin State is in danger from the Hangu Pass, so that there will be no danger to defend, at this moment, the Qin State has completely restored the momentum of the old Qin.
……
50,000 Zhao troops left Hangu Pass, and hundreds of civil and military officials of Zhao State left in batches, completely announcing that 800 miles of Qinchuan fell into the hands of Qin State.
Of course, a major event also happened during this time, and for the Qin State, it was even more of a blow to the head, and for a while, the ministers of the Qin State were furious.
……
Lü Bu, the king of Zhao, attacked Linxiang, Changsha County, and the Qin general Wei Li was killed in battle, and the 50,000 Qin troops were annihilated, and the entire Jingzhou completely fell into the hands of Lü Bu, the king of Zhao.
When this news came, the Qin State was furious, and many generals wrote to ask for orders to go on the expedition to avenge Wei Li and others, but this opinion was rejected by Qin Gong Yingfei.
Ying Fei knew in her heart that the Qin State was able to break through Guanzhong and completely restore the territory of the old Qin under the adversity of the six countries joining forces to attack Qin and fighting on three routes, which was already a huge victory for the Qin State.
At this moment, it is really not appropriate for the Qin State to intervene in the war, and it is time for the Six Nations to join forces to attack Qin, and it is time for the Qin State to shrink its military line and pay attention to domestic construction.
Even if the Qin State took over Chang'an, there are remnants of the Zhao State, but for the vast Qin State, the countless people of the Qin State, this thing is too little.
During this time, the war that spread in Kyushu in the Central Plains also began to gradually extinguish. In particular, Qin and Zhao stopped fighting one after another, making the last trace of dispute a thing of the past.
……
Prime Minister Jiang Wan also rushed to Chang'an as soon as possible, at this moment, in Chang'an, Qin Gong Yingfei, Taiwei Xu Shu, Prime Minister Jiang Wan, military advisor Guo Jia, and the four major drivers who drove the carriage of Qin were all there.
In the palace, Qin Gong Yingfei sat on the dragon chair with a somewhat surprised expression. Just over ten years have passed, and he has become a prince from an illegitimate child.
At this moment, he was sitting on the dragon chair in Chang'an, and at this moment, Qin Gong Yingfei seemed to see that in history, Emperor Qin and Han Wu looked directly at the world east of Hangu Pass.
That longing, that excitement, is indescribable.
……
"See your lord!"
The civil and military forces led by Jiang Wan and Xu Shu saluted Qin Gong Yingfei on the dragon chair, and they knew in their hearts that one day, Qin Gong Yingfei would definitely rule the entire Central Plains and Kyushu.
"Zhu Qing is exempt from courtesy!"
Smiling slightly, Qin Gong Yingfei stretched out his hand and stroked it in the air towards the civil and military forces below, and said.
"Thank you."
……
In the huge hall, this moment seemed a little empty, with only a few civil and military forces. Qin Gong Yingfei frowned slightly, because he knew in his heart that the Qin Imperial Court was still supporting the state.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our army attacked Chang'an, completely occupied Guanzhong, and restored the homeland of Qin, what do you think of the current situation of our country?"
With blazing eyes, Qin Gong Yingfei looked deeply at the civil and military forces below, and asked the most urgent question at the moment. This matter is related to the entire Qin State and must not be ignored.
……
Hearing this, Jiang Wan, Xu Shu and the others frowned, the problems of the Qin State were too prominent, too many and too acute. For a while, several people hesitated and didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at present, our country should immediately shrink the defensive line, and at the same time count the casualties of the soldiers, and then start recruiting troops and quickly train them into an army."
A touch of melancholy flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, this war of the six countries to attack Qin made the Qin State almost in a half-crippled state, and many things needed to be restored.
"At the same time, the capital was moved to Chang'an, so that the political center of gravity of the Qin State was completely shifted eastward, and preparations were made for the annexation of the six countries of Kwantung in the future."
……
"Move the capital?"
Seeing this scene, Qin Gong Yingfei nodded slightly, he had to admit that the military advisor Guo Jia was talented, and his eyesight was even more outstanding, and he saw it at a glance.
It's just that what really made Qin Gong Yingfei hesitate was the relocation of the capital, and the move of the capital was not the will of one person, but was also constrained by the interests of countless families and countless forces.
Even if Qin Gong Yingfei was supreme in the Qin State, he didn't dare to make this abrupt decision, even if he knew the benefits of setting the capital of Chang'an, he didn't dare to make a decision easily.
……
"The matter of moving the capital is very important, I don't know why the prime minister and the captain are so?"
……
After being silent in his heart for a while, Qin Gong Yingfei set his eyes on Xu Shu and Jiang Wan, he knew in his heart that this matter was too tricky, and he needed the three princes to speak in unison.
Now that the military advisor Guo Jia has spoken and revealed the necessity of moving the capital, Qin Gong Yingfei can only hand over the topic to Xu Shu and the others at the moment, let them make a decision, and then decide whether to move the capital immediately.
"Your Majesty, Mobei Xianbei goes south to support Shi can be described as a horse and a flat river, and the national capital has no danger to defend, and in the future, Chang'an is far more suitable than Fushi as the national capital."
Taiwei Xu Shu was the first to speak, directly pointing out the shortcomings of Fushi as the imperial capital of a country, and also pointed out the necessity of moving the capital to Chang'an.
Seeing that Qin Gong Yingfei was listening carefully, Xu Shu smiled slightly and said: "Luoyang is the middle of the world, Chang'an is the land of Gyeonggi, and there is no other choice as the imperial capital of the world."
"What's more, in the past, the capital of the Qin State was near Chang'an, so the minister thought that moving the capital to Chang'an was more suitable for the development of the Qin State."
……
"Good, what the captain and the military advisor said is very true, and the minister also thinks that the capital should be moved to Chang'an. Moreover, at this moment, the Qin State is on the side of peace, and the matter of moving the capital is not very strong. ”
Jiang Wan was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to express his opinion, as the prime minister of a country, he knew better than Xu Shu and the others the importance of moving the capital to Chang'an.
"Fushi is okay as the capital of the country at this moment, once the king annexes the world, the disadvantages of Fushi will be fully revealed, and it will not be able to suppress the world at all."
……
"Whew."
Exhaling deeply, Qin Gong Yingfei was also clear about the will of the third prince at this moment, with the strong support of the military advisor Guo Jia and others, the matter of moving the capital would be invalid even if others objected.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Gong Yingfei made a decision in his heart, raised his head and looked at Jiang Wan and the others, and said.
"Captain."
"The minister is here."
Glancing deeply at Taiwei Xu Shu, Ying Fei paused word by word, and said: "You will count the casualties of our army, and at the same time rectify the army and urge the army to return to the station."
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Xu Shu retreated, and Qin Gong Yingfei looked at the military advisor Guo Jia and said.
"Military division, you will assist the lieutenant in counting the casualties, and when the casualties are counted, you will immediately recruit troops and replenish the soldiers."
"No."
