Chapter 222: The Tatar robbers should be in real hurry

The relocation of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to the north should have a deeper connotation.

In a political sense, this is a strong comeback, which may indicate that they are interested in the north.

The Great Song Dynasty government was not unaware of the shortcomings of Xinbianjing as the capital.

Regardless of the dynasty, the choice of the capital of a country is a great science.

The capital needs to be located at a transportation hub, which is conducive to the political control of the whole country and at the same time ensures the economic supply of the capital, and the geographical location of the capital needs to be suitable for defense, easy to resist external aggression, and finally a plain near the capital that can produce food to ensure the food supply of the capital.

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the capital was Bianjing.

But at that time, Zhao Kuangyin often had the idea of moving the capital, because Bianjing was very difficult to defend, surrounded by large plains, and could be directly attacked from all sides in a war, so many people thought that the capital should be moved to Luoyang, and it was best to choose Chang'an, which has mountains and rivers, as the capital.

From the point of view of military defense, Chang'an is indeed the best capital to build the capital, almost all sides are plateaus, there are the Yellow River in the east and the Tongguan in the east and the easy to defend and difficult to attack, that is, Hangu Pass, the southeast is Wuguan, the southwest is Dasanguan, the northwest is Xiaoguan, the internal Guanzhong Plain has good natural conditions, and the food supply is sufficient.

Chang'an is located in the land of four stops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, if the defense is done properly, foreign enemies can not invade at all.

It is a pity that Chang'an and Luoyang were greatly damaged after the Tang Anshi Rebellion, and they were almost in ruins, and the previous construction capacity of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely poor, and it was impossible and unable to rebuild on a large scale.

At that time, Bianjing was located in the water and land rush, the transportation was convenient, and there was no Yellow River natural danger in Cao Yun, which greatly shortened the distance with the south of the Yangtze River, and the Cao grain transported through the Bianhe River was enough to maintain the survival of one million people in Bianjing and the operation of the entire Great Song Dynasty government, so the Great Song Dynasty began to build a capital in Bianjing There are certain considerations.

However, it is a pity that Bianjing is a city that is easy to attack and difficult to defend on the plains, and the previous Great Song Dynasty was forced to go south because the capital Bianjing was breached.

Come to think of it, nomads can attack it without the ability to siege it...... It can only be said that this is really a strange historical event.

After the Great Song Dynasty went south, the Great Song Dynasty, which confronted Jin, should have chosen to build the capital Nanjing.

Nanjing is not only within the rich area, but its geographical environment is also based on the big river in front of it, and it is connected with heavy mountains in the south.

Since Zhuge Liang said that "Jinling, Zhongshan Longpan, Stone Tiger Standing, Emperor's Mansion", the emperors of all dynasties thought that Nanjing was one of the most suitable places to be the capital.

However, at that time, Song Gaozong hid in Hangzhou, which was more peaceful, and this strategy of fixing the capital had obviously completely abandoned the consideration of recovering the northern territories.

However, now it is Feng Shui that takes turns...... But whatever the reason, the Great Song Dynasty chose to return to Bianjing, and this situation obviously has the implication of recovering the lost land in the north.

In the eyes of King Zhang Anguo, the Great Song Dynasty only seemed to be enterprising...... But it's just seeming.

Since the Great Song Dynasty clearly began to move the capital, none of their powerful ministers has put forward a similar statement about recovering the northern territories, and they are still willing to fight for power, even if it is an unimportant department's official arrangement!

King Zhang Anguo wanted to see that the Great Song Dynasty had the ambition to recover his homeland and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun...... Even if it is mentioned, it is still a hot-blooded scholar like Wen Tianxiang, and he does not have any political power at all.

Well, the Great Song is still a Great Song without territorial ambition.

But in the struggle for power, they are no less than other dynasties...... And there must be a tendency to develop to the second stage.

In fact, King Zhang Anguo knew that Jia Pingzhang had already set his own successor within his gang.

That person is Chen Yizhong...... I've mentioned some of them first.

When Jia Rudao was the prime minister at the beginning, he paid great attention to recruiting talents in order to stabilize his position and increase his reserve forces.

Of course, as I mentioned earlier, he was very kind to the students at that time.

At that time, he thought that the talented and strong-blooded Chen Yizhong was very promising, and intended to take him as a protégé.

So, he asked Song Lizong to issue an edict so that he could take the exam without the provincial examination.

In the court examination in 1263 AD, Chen Yizhong did not live up to Jia Yidao's expectations and ranked second.

Chen Yizhong is really a talent, he is more versed in current affairs, so he was quickly promoted under the shadow of Jia Yidao, and successively served as the official school secretary of Shaoxing Prefecture.

After a few more years, he was moved to oversee the imperial history.

Soon after, the ultra-conservative Chen Yuanfeng became prime minister again, and Jia Rudao was afraid that he would encroach on his rights and wanted to get rid of him.

secretly instructed Chen Yizhong to participate in Chen Yuanfeng, even though Ding Daquan was evil.

As a result, the power struggle was won...... Chen Yuanfeng was dismissed, and Ren Taifuqing went.

At that time, Chen Yizhong considered that serving as a royal envoy in the imperial court was too resentful, and being a magistrate was also conducive to establishing his political achievements, so under the arrangement of Jia Yidao, he was successively transferred to the Western Zhejiang Provincial Punishment, the Chongzheng Palace Storyteller, and the Fuzhou Prefect.

During his tenure of office, he rectified production, built water conservancy, actively adopted the method of farming, popularized the use of improved varieties on a large scale, and introduced animal power from Liuqiu...... Therefore, the political achievements are obvious.

Ten years later, he was promoted to the position of Privy Council and Governor of the Governor's Council, a position equivalent to the post of Deputy Prime Minister.

At this time, Chen Yizhong has changed from a hot-blooded young scholar to a middle-aged greasy uncle, and has gradually become one of the most powerful figures.

has a certain reputation, but also local political achievements, plus experience in high-level power organs...... There is also a tempering of character, and he already has the ability to take over Jia Pingzhang's class.

Of course, his fame was not enough...... Jia Pingzhang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress old guys like Liumengyan, even though he was already an old guy, seventy-two years old, and he was in pain all day long.

Every day, I rely on eating willow essence tablets produced in Liuqiu Island to refresh and relieve pain.

King Zhang Anguo noticed him early on, and every time he gave a gift to Jia Pingzhang, in order not to arouse his vigilance, he often sent him another copy through other methods and methods.

Wu has a law, and the text has Chen Yizhong...... This is what the Federal Empire is looking for in the next generation of successors to the Great Song Dynasty to act as collaborators.

The Federal Empire did not need them to betray the interests of the Great Song government, as long as they could accept the idea of the Federal Empire.

However, after this relocation of the capital, neither guy put forward a proposal to recover the northern territories...... This disappointed King Zhang Anguo.

Wu Dapeng, who was far away in the Tianzhu region, sent a letter mentioning the relocation of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Dapeng believed that as long as the Great Song government did not make a foolish move at the moment, and gave the federal empire another three to five years, we would have the ability to drive out the Tatar bandits permanently.

to the east, let them get out of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, and go and mingle with the Slavs; To the south, let them go to the Middle East, and let them live with the Turks, the Persians, and the Hui.

When they've messed things up, we'll clean up the mess.

Of course, the premise of this is still that the Great Song government must not cause chaos, and it must support the federal empire...... The Great Song Dynasty can join forces to destroy Liao, and can unite with the Yuan to destroy Jin, so there is no reason why it is not possible to join forces with merchants to destroy the Yuan.

We have no territorial claims, no economic claims, and no power claims to the Great Song Dynasty...... As long as the Great Song Dynasty still maintains the old tradition of valuing commerce and opening up.

We can use fair trade to get the manpower and materials we need, and we can sell our products at all levels...... At present, only Da Song has the ability to buy and use our luxury goods on a large scale, and also has the ability to digest our surplus of low-grade products.

Therefore, there is no need to urge them to go north to fight...... Of course, we are not in a hurry.

It should be the Tatar robbers who are really in a hurry.
