Datang needs a new capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info A capital, in Li Chen's view, has several functions, for example, to gather resources. Regardless of the dynasty in China, the capital is a place where people and various resources gather. On the land of China, a steady stream of food, money, manpower, and attention will gather in Beijing.

In fact, this is similar in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Even if it is a foreign country, the capital of a country is almost always the most approachable, beautiful, and the most concerned. Although many cities, perhaps because of their economic development and geographical advantages, can steal a lot of glory from the capital, politically, it will always be the focus.

Since it's the focus, it's important where you put it. In terms of communication technology in this era, this capital must be placed in a relatively important place. Take the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty as an example.

Ming Chengzu will be the capital from the south. Jing moved to his fiefdom to the north. Capital city. "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." , The emperor of the Ming Dynasty put himself in the most dangerous and noteworthy place, and this courage was many times stronger than that of the later dynasty.

arguing with others on the Internet about the pros and cons of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he always likes to talk about this. In fact, since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, China's decline was fundamentally caused by the incompetence of the Manchus and their mentality of preferring outsiders to domestic slaves.

At that time, Western technology was not much better than China's. What kind of ships are strong and artillery, it is fundamentally the decline caused by the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own self-contained and enterprising mentality, and the cannons made in the middle of the Qing Dynasty were even worse than those in the early Qing Dynasty. No wonder they are gunning, because you yourself are useless.

If it is replaced by the Ming Dynasty, the king will not escape, nor will he compromise, I will spend it with you, you have come all the way to China, I just don't negotiate, don't retreat, don't think about any land reparations, don't think about it, the treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country is even more shadowy, and China's national strength at that time still surpasses those powers, and has a close advantage.

Call on the Qin Wang Army, I can't win you, I can trap you to death. In the end, see who wins, and see who can't drag it out first. Show a firm attitude, let those foreigners see the courage and determination of the Chinese nation, and see if they will dare to look down on the Chinese.

Well, that's a long way off. Let's compare the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. The capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty is in Luoyang, the location is good, extending in all directions, not to mention the convenient transportation, there are also dangers around to defend. However, it was too far away from the border pass, and as a result, the Eastern Han Dynasty was dragged down by the Qiang chaos.

There is nothing remarkable about the Qiang people, and they have repeatedly made chaos and tired the Eastern Han Dynasty to deal with. dragged down the finances of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although this may be very problematic, there may be many reasons that Li Chen did not see in history textbooks, but if the Eastern Han Dynasty had set the capital of Chang'an at the beginning, how could the Qiang people have any chance of making trouble.

Don't look at Chang'an and Luoyang are two next door, but at that time there was no canal, and transportation was very inconvenient. If the danger and obstacle were eliminated at the beginning, the capital was Chang'an, and the inconvenience of grain transportation was reduced by all means, then how could the Eastern Han Dynasty be dragged down.

Therefore, Li Chen feels that it is necessary for a country to be the capital in some places that need more attention, and it is best to be close to the local area where the border troubles are. This is certainly dangerous, if something goes wrong, it is very dangerous, like after the Anshi Rebellion, Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty, and even Chang'an was lost.

However, this can also make the king vigilant, and the proximity will give him a sense of crisis. It's important to be vigilant at all times. Li Chen hated it the most, that is, he thought that the world was peaceful, so he could put Nanshan and put the swords and guns into the warehouse.

In addition, the Dingdu Frontier also has the advantage of developing the frontier. Because the capital will gather a large number of people and bring a lot of resources to it, in this way, it can drive the development of the frontier.

In Taiwan, there was a proposal to move the capital. It is to move the political center from Taipei to Tainan. Although in Li Chen's view, there is a certain battalion in political manipulation, Taiwan's pattern is blue in the north and green in the south, with the muddy water stream as the boundary, and the political center is moved from the north to the south, which has a far-reaching impact.

However, from an economic point of view, the capital will gather a large number of people, which will inevitably cause resources to be skewed, which will be of great help to the development of a certain place. Taking Taiwan as far as Taiwan is concerned, moving the political center to the south is bound to be of great benefit to the development of the south and can balance the development of the north and the south.

In the Ming Dynasty, the south was rich and the capital was Nanjing, which was bound to make Nanjing more prosperous. However, even if Nanjing is not determined, Nanjing will be prosperous. Yanjing is different, without the halo of the capital, the development is bound to be relatively poor. The capital of Yanjing can play a role in transporting resources from the south to the north. It can balance the development gap between the North and the South.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was already a serious economic gap between the north and the south, which was manifested in the number of people in the imperial examination, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to divide the imperial examination into the southern list and the northern list.

From a political point of view, Yanjing's geographical location is important, it can be regarded as the throat of the north, and the border trouble of the Ming Dynasty came from the north. Luoyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not too far from Chang'an, so it will drag down the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Nanjing is even farther away from Yanjing. If it is to gather heavy troops for defense, isn't Ming Chengzu worried about another Jingjing?

Although there are many ways to develop the frontier, the establishment of a new capital can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. According to Taiwanese dialects, this is called touching clams and washing pants, one and two cares.

Li Chen came to Youzhou this time, and he planned to stay permanently. He went out of the Beijing Division, but he brought the entire leadership team with him. I just didn't plan to go back anytime soon. Although Youzhou and Chang'an had a telegraph, the telegraph was not a telephone, and it was not so convenient to transmit information. So it is impossible for him to control the political situation remotely in Youzhou.

He also had to come or not, he made a big plan for his grassland raiders this time. At the meeting, scare that Hanlin bachelor out of shape. Building a new city is just one of the steps.

There is an urgent necessity to build a secluded state. Because, Chang'an can't bear the load, Chang'an has served as the capital of China for a long time, starting from Qin and ending in the Western Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years. These are actually fine. Since the Tang Dynasty set the capital of Chang'an, this damage has been serious.

The first is the environmental destruction, which has brought together so many people that the Guanzhong area has been overdeveloped. There is also the change of times, which has led to less and less rainfall throughout the north. More and more drought. When it came to the Northern Song Dynasty, Chang'an could not afford the responsibility of the Beijing Division, but this area was a battlefield of stalemate between Western Xia and the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Song army still had to burn the famine from time to time.

The vegetation is too lush to burn the wasteland. This makes modern people envious. In modern times, it's too late to conserve the wasteland. In addition to environmental damage, it is also due to the lack of rainfall. The higher the Himalayas, the higher they get, the more moisture from the Indian Ocean, makes the whole north drier and drier.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, and there were 36 countries in the Western Regions, but in the Tang Dynasty, the number of countries decreased sharply. This situation will only get worse for future generations. In ancient times, the Western Regions was still a prairie, as can be seen from some primitive murals. It is because of the sparse rainfall that it is getting drier and drier.

In view of the future trend, Li Chen had to consider the necessity of building a new capital, Youzhou would be the first to build, and Jinling would be slowed down. He took this opportunity to move the base camp from Chang'an to Youzhou, which can be regarded as a master of Fa Ming and became an ancestor. When he moved the capital, he was also hindered by the courtiers, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask for pro-conquest and did not return to the south, and finally slowly moved the court over.

Of course, Chang'an didn't give up like this, Chang'an would be the focus of his management of the Western Regions. At present, the Tang Dynasty has to operate in the Western Regions, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty has been largely restored in the past.

"Come, eat some fruit, tea or coffee." , Seeing that the prime minister had a heated discussion, Li Chen asked people to serve some snacks, Youzhou City costs a lot, and it must be carefully planned in advance. Li Chen has applied many ideas to Youzhou, including clean running water, pre-planned commercial areas, residential areas, and industrial areas.

Even like the drainage system, rainwater and all kinds of sewage are treated separately, as well as urban green belts, libraries, cultural and educational areas, all planned in advance, Li Chen has added many later cities to the inside, and even he also considered including subway, outer ring road and other future buildings.

Of course, it is impossible to have a subway now, but these are all in his planning, and if there is such a demand and technology in the future, the management authorities of the Beijing Division at that time do not even have to worry about land acquisition and demolition, and only need to worry about traffic problems.

Of course, as for whether someone will ruin this plan for various reasons, so that the originally planned area will be destroyed, it is not something he can imagine.

A group of prime ministers are temporarily resting, probably because they are old and don't eat much, Li Chen feels that he has a good appetite, in addition to being able to eat and sleep, he also wants to eat a lot, and he doesn't look like he was seriously ill before, he can eat a lot, some delicacies, and land, he can swallow them all.

At present, the situation in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty has temporarily returned to the territory after the Battle of Talas. Before the Battle of Talas, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was once extended to the Aral Sea. In the battle of Talas, the Tang Dynasty was defeated and temporarily retreated a little, if it were not for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Anxi soldiers were recruited to come back to quell the chaos, and they would not have been lost at that time.

Now it has been recovered, but the dominance of Datang is not strong, but it symbolically restores the prestige of Datang. At present, there is a power vacuum here, and the original strongest force was the civil strife in Tibet, which was cleaned up by the Tang Dynasty.

And the Celestial People, they themselves are also in chaos, and they did not really extend their power into here at that time, the Battle of Talas, they only occupied the place west of the Green Ridge, the east of the Green Ridge was originally in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and later came to the hands of Tubo.

The local small countries are all grass on the wall, and the thickest thigh has been cut down, so they can only belong to the thigh, that is, Datang.

Li Chen didn't care about this, on the surface, he didn't care, he temporarily restored the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, with Zhang Yichao taking over. Zhang Yichao was very competitive, and ruthlessly repaired some of the local Tuguhun remnants, and established the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. That's why they didn't recover Kuozhou soon.

However, for the time being, that's it, Zhang Yichao is also the governor of Anxi, in fact, at the root, the soldiers are just that, and the main scope is still the Longxi area. The king of Tuyuhun, looking for death by himself, sent it to the door to beg to clean up, and he was sorry for him if he didn't clean up.

Li Chen didn't care, and the ministers of the DPRK and China did not object to this concurrent appointment, anyway, just those people, those soldiers, even if they were in the name, they couldn't make waves. It's just that Li Chen doesn't care that it's just the surface. He is waiting, waiting for the railway to be repaired in Longxi, and he will go all the way to Central Asia.

He has a good appetite, he wants the New World, and is currently intensifying his exploration plan. He also wants the Nanyang area, and the Philippines is just a springboard. The Lingnan area, which later became Vietnam, would be a stepping stone for him to enter the Indochina Peninsula. For this reason, some Datang jungle armies have been established, and the local rainforest will not be an obstacle to Datang in the future. The future of Australia, he also wants, this is still in the plan.

He wants everything, who let the Chinese more, who let him cross back, who let China initially complete industrialization now, who makes the Tang seem to look around now, there is no opponent. So he wants everything.

He even wants Central Asia, which is rich in oil resources, and now it is also very rich, and to the north is the later generation of Russia, and if you continue to the west, you can go to the Great Plain of Eastern Europe, and to the south you can go to India, and you can also enter the Tianfang area, which is considered a transportation hub.

Chang'an will be the starting point for Datang to operate the Western Regions, it seems that he doesn't care, in fact, on the one hand, he is waiting to solve the problem of northern Xinjiang, the Western Regions is still far from China, and there are no enemies at present, and the biggest threat in the future still comes from the north.

First the north and then the west, he wants to solve the northern problem before he solves the west, and even the west is not a problem at all, the heavenly people are too busy to take care of themselves, even if they are strong, the two sides will fight that war, there is no big conflict, they can't pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty at all, you can take your time.

On the other hand, it is still a railway, the railway has not been repaired, the local traffic is not smooth, and the cost of ruling is very high, Datang is not unaffordable, but Li Chen feels that it is unnecessary.

In addition to being unnecessary, it also does not meet its requirements, he is not just a false name rule, he wants to completely integrate the local area into China, and then completely carry out Tang in all aspects. What autonomous region, there's no need, don't make any trouble with me in the future.

If we want to do it, we will completely turn it into a part of China in terms of language, writing, customs, and religion. This will not provoke some rebellion, there is no railway, it is inconvenient.

Moreover, in order to achieve this goal, he must migrate in large numbers and develop the local economy, which in turn will require railways. It was only when the railroad was extended there that the rule of the Tang Dynasty would be solidified.

He has a good appetite and wants everything, but he knows that he can't live for thousands of years, and he doesn't even want to live a long life, so he can only pave the way by himself, hoping that future generations will be stable. This time, he deliberately left Beijing and handed over some government affairs to the prince, which was to start cultivating a successor.

He can only help one way, whether he can do it or not, he can only depend on the will of God.
