Chapter 0225: Re-entry to Tokyo

As a generation of heroes, Zhao Kuangyin, it is impossible not to recognize the obvious weakness of building the capital in Bianliang, Tokyo, and there is no danger to defend around, and he also wanted to move the capital to Luoyang or Chang'an, but from the two aspects of history and reality, Bianliang is located in the Central Plains, Zhengdi in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Wei Capital in the Warring States Period. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Grand Canal was opened in the Sui Dynasty, and the canal entered the Jianghuai River through Bianliang, making it an important place to lock and control the north-south waterway traffic. In the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty, the northern feudal towns were divided, wars were frequent, and the economic center moved to the south. As a necessary place for the transportation of grain from the south to the north, Bianliang has risen rapidly. On the occasion of Zhao Kuangyin's establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianliang City "is the most important thing in the world, the total number of boats and vehicles, the throat of the control of the river Shuo, and the transportation of Jinghu Lake", and the traffic extends in all directions, which is very convenient. At that time, Chang'an and Luoyang were greatly damaged due to years of war, and their economies were devastated. For the Zhao and Song dynasties, which implemented the policy of strong cadres and weak branches and stationed a huge army in the capital, Bianliang was undoubtedly the first choice for building a capital to solve the problem of providing the government and the army.

The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was finally firmly fixed in Kaifeng, which directly led to the fact that the Northern Song Dynasty finally exhausted almost all its national strength because of the need to defend the capital, but for Zhao Kuangyin at that time, there was no other choice.

What he needed was an absolutist centralization, with everything from the judiciary to the financial and military to the emperor.

This requires half of the country's elite divisions to be stationed in the Beijing division in order to firmly control the military power, and it is very dangerous for so many troops to have nothing to do. If Luoyang or Chang'an is used as the capital division, according to the natural danger, tens of thousands of troops are enough to guard, and the remaining troops are stationed in other places, and there is a risk of rebellion; If there is no garrison and no military action for a long time, the army will become a rabble. And Kaifeng, which has no danger to defend, needs such an army.

Kaifeng is the country of the Song Dynasty, which is the inevitable combination of politics and geography, and it is also the inevitable and helpless choice of Zhao Kuangyin after thinking about his own process as emperor. Chen Qiaoyi mutinied, the yellow robe was added, but the widows and young of the Zhou Dynasty sincerely supported them, waited for the opportunity to rebel, and waited for changes, for these people, no matter what they thought and what intentions, Zhao Kuangyin must try his best to encircle at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and these people's net worth, industry and intertwined relationships are in Bianliang, if Zhao Kuangyin moves the capital elsewhere, what does it mean? It means handing over an important and prosperous city to a group of people with strength and desire who are very likely to rebel. Zhao Kuangyin would be stupid if he built the capital elsewhere, then the Zhao Song Dynasty would make the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" in Chinese history become "Six Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms". Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin not only could not leave Bianliang, but also used heavy troops to guard Bianliang, and at the same time suppressed the impatience of those who tried to rebel.

After observing the topography around the city of Tokyo, Zhu Biao deeply felt that once the Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River, the Song army would not be able to hold Bianliang no matter what.

After the Tianhu rebellion in Hebei, a large number of refugees from Hedong went south, crossed the Yellow River, and poured into the city of Tokyo. What's more, now the Annuity people are moving south, fighting with the remnants of the Khitan army all the way in Zhuozhou and Yizhou, and looting all the way in Hebei and Shandong, so there are more refugees who cannot escape from everywhere.

After the rain, groups of Hanako began to beg along the streets and alleys of Tokyo City as if they had come out of the ground, and under the eaves of the shops north of the Jingryumon Gate in the north of Tokyo. The ruined temple was crowded with these people, and families and nests set up broken nunnery and thatched huts at the base of the city wall, which actually had the meaning of staying for a long time.

Zhu Biao entered the city from the north, and the city of Tokyo at this time was no longer as prosperous and tidy as when he came to the city and held Song Huizong hostage, overcrowded and foul-smelling. When he saw these refugees, he sighed in his heart: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world." ”

At this time, Lu Fang said: "Shopkeeper, there is a restaurant here, why don't you have lunch here." ”

Zhu Biao didn't speak, but went to the restaurant under the escort of Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and others. As soon as he went up two steps, suddenly, a child of about eleven or twelve years old, skinny, ragged, with a pair of dirty little hands holding a broken bowl, stood in front of Wang Lun, did not speak, just stretched out the bowl.

At this time, the shopkeeper ran out, kicked the child to the ground, and then said to Zhu Biao with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, please inside." ”

Zhu Biao looked at him, then at the child who was kicked to the ground, and said to the shopkeeper, "Help him up." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his smile froze, but he then went down the steps and helped the child up.

"Give him a few steamed buns, and count them on my account."

When the shopkeeper heard this again, he immediately nodded with a smile and introduced Zhu Biao and the others into the restaurant.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout from the street: "Go to the door of Xinfengqiu, the Oiran lady is going to give porridge and steamed buns again!" ”

At this sound, all the Huazi in front of Zhu Biao rushed up together as if they had been stimulated, and rushed north.

Zhu Biao and the others found a table of eight immortals and sat down, ordered the wine and food, and after the wine and food were served, Zhu Biao asked the shopkeeper: "Who is this Oiran lady?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The guest officer must be a foreigner, this Oiran lady is the number one person in Bianliang, Tokyo, and the teacher Li is known as General Fei." ”

When Zhu Biao heard Master Li's three words, his heart sank, and then he remembered the scene when he pulled the bare-bottomed Song Huizong off the bed, and he couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, a man at the next table asked: "A prostitute is a prostitute, how can she get the nickname of 'Flying General'?" ”

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said with an obscene smile: "Today, the saint has taken a fancy to the Oiran lady, and once gave Master Li the concave mirror and fine wine that Annan Kingdom paid tribute to. Master Li gave the vat of wine given by the emperor to the border guards, and asked the commander Liang Shi to imitate Li Guang of the Han Dynasty and pour the imperial wine into the spring well, so that every soldier could taste it. The good deeds have made this into a poem, how to say it, let me think-" At this, the shopkeeper's eyes rolled upward, and he looked like he was racking his brains to think. After a while, the shopkeeper slowly shook his head and groaned: "'The Nine Heavens Jade reveals the forbidden garden, and Loulan will not be given a hook fence. Fortunately, there is Fengcheng Fei, and the wine of Ganquan Palace enters Jiuquan. This Oiran girl has since earned the nickname 'Flying General'.

At this time, I only heard the man say: "Then it seems that your emperor is mediocre enough, it's time to change!" ”

When all the people present heard this, the king was shocked: Who is this, who dares to say these words in broad daylight in front of so many people, and don't die? (To be continued.) )
