Chapter 383: Planning the New Capital (I)

(Looking for information in Xiangyang today, I made my head dizzy, and I really can't double change, sorry!) )

Li Bao stayed in Xiangyang and waited for more than half a month before Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang, Yang Yinyue, Xu Wenqiang and others arrived.

Li Bao wanted to treat Xiangyang as the new capital, and he had not communicated with a few of them, because they were all curious about why the king was in such a hurry to summon all of them to Xiangyang this time.

After coming to the hall of the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan Dongdao, Li Bao did not greet them more, but just beckoned the four of them to sit down first, and then instructed the servants to strictly prohibit idle people from entering.

After seeing Li Bao so cautious, Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang, Yang Yinyue and Xu Wenqiang became even more curious, and Xu Wenqiang couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there something important to say about the king, if it is inconvenient for a certain person to know, a certain can avoid it." ”

Xu Wenqiang is very self-aware, his status in Weizhou is not high, and Zhang Chengye and Jingxiang are the most respected by Li Baoxin, this is a well-known thing in Weizhou, it is because after seeing Li Bao so cautious, he spoke first to avoid suspicion so as not to embarrass himself.

"Xuan Ye, don't be busy with humility, you have done very well in Weizhou in the past two years, I see it in my eyes, I called you here this time, just to have something important for you to do."

After Xu Wenqiang listened to Li Bao's words, his heart was full of joy, what a glorious thing it was to be affirmed by Li Bao.

Thinking about it carefully, after he got acquainted with Li Bao in Chang'an, several teenagers were like-minded and confidants of each other. Gradually, a deep friendship was formed. But later, because of family reasons, he followed his father to Shannan. Because of this, he was estranged from Li Bao, but Zhang Qingping followed Li Bao closely and never gave up.

I don't want to think that in just a few years, Li Bao has sprung up, and King Ji has become the mainstay of the entire Tang Dynasty. And Zhang Qingping, who never gave up in the past, not only had a smooth career because he followed Li Bao closely, but also became close to Li Bao's half-sister. Even Yang Yinyue, who has been doing nothing, has mixed up with the beauty of a high-grade and idle dean of the Honor Academy.

The world is impermanent, the former prince Bo who was unrelated in the past has now become the auspicious king who everyone praises and looks up to every day, and he Xu Wenqiang is still a child of an official family who has nothing to do, and later his father was attacked by political enemies, if it were not for Li Bao's action, his father and family would be doomed.

Later, the gentle and friendly King Ji became a carefree prince, he dominated Weizhou, attacked the surroundings, and now he has occupied a large territory, and he and his father have also become his vassals, Xu Wenqiang once felt that Li Bao was very different, but he couldn't say how it was different, but now he finally discovered the difference between Li Bao, that is, he can always be one step or even two steps ahead, this magical talent makes him stand proudly in the world, looking down on the heroes of the world.

It was Xu Wenqiang who was relieved, he put away his former unwillingness, and was willing to do things and be a useful person. This kind of self has finally paid off, he has changed from Li Bao's former friend to Li Bao's core subordinate, this progress makes Xu Wenqiang feel at ease and happy, because he knows that if he can enter this circle, then it is very easy for him to become famous or leave a name in history.

However, what Li Bao was going to do, he didn't know yet, so he immediately calmed down and waited patiently for Li Bao to speak.

Li Bao looked at the three of them, and then said, "I called you here this time because I want to re-plan and build Xiangyang." ”

"Re-planning and building?" Zhang Chengye seemed to hear the deep meaning of Li Bao's words, and he immediately expressed his doubts.

"Well, re-plan and build."

After hearing Li Bao's affirmative reply, Zhang Chengye continued to probe tentatively: "The king wants to build Xiangyang into an important stronghold? ”

Li Bao looked at Zhang Chengye, his face was nervous, and Jing Xiang and Xu Wenqiang were a little more curious. He smiled and stopped selling Guanzi, "I want to move the capital!" ”

I! Think! Move! All!

The four big characters, like a big stick, shocked Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang, Yang Yinyue and Xu Wenqiang and almost squirted out the tea in their mouths.

"What, move the capital?" The four of them asked in unison.

"Yes, move the capital!" Li Bao replied very casually.

However, Zhang Chengye couldn't sit still, "The king, do they know about Yang Xiang and Zheng Xiang?" You can't mess around with such a big thing......"

"Zhang joined the army calmly, Yang Shi and Zheng Xiang already knew about it, and I had already talked to them about this issue. You don't have to worry. ”

No wonder Zhang Chengye, Jingxiang, Xu Wenqiang and the others are anxious and excited, the matter of moving the capital is too big, which is almost shaking the country's foundation. Throughout the ages, there has been little success in changing the capital, and most of them have been met with strong resistance from the conservative feudal class.

And Li Bao Group is now able to control the government, and the biggest contributors are Yang Yan and Zheng Jin, this matter did not ask for their consent, it is really difficult to describe Li Bao's madness at this time by eating the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard.

However, since Yang Yan and Zheng Zheng already knew, Zhang Chengye and the other four immediately felt much more stable, and several of them were all cadres of Weizhou, except for Yang Yinyue, of course.

But as the dean of the Honor Academy, Yang Yinyue still has a certain level, so he asked the most high-level question, how do you want to get it?

Among the four people who came to Xiangyang on this trip, Yang Yinyue was the most familiar with Li Bao, he knew that after Li Bao made up his mind, he would never change it, it was because he immediately grasped the key point, and the meaning of what he said was also very clear: That is, what do you want to do, listen to you.

After hearing Yang Yinyue's words, Li Bao immediately got up and punched Yang Yinyue, "You still know me best, I called you here for the construction of the new capital."

Come on, how about you guys take a look at my map? ”

After speaking, Li Bao immediately took out a large piece of rice paper, which was the planning map he had drawn during more than half a month of waiting. After the rice paper was spread out, Zhang Chengye and others immediately gathered around the table and watched carefully.

Xiangyang City is located in the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, Xiangyang City was built in the sixth year of Emperor Gao of the Western Han Dynasty, surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xiong is in the upper reaches of the Han River, which has a history of thousands of years at this time.

Since Liu Biao came to Xiangxiang as the pastor of Jingzhou, it has been a state, county, government and county governance. The old city was used as a military fortress until the Tang Dynasty. Xiangyang City is valued by the soldiers of all dynasties, and is one of the most famous ancient city defense systems in Chinese history, and it is also the most complete ancient city defense structure in China.

The total length of Xiangyang City is more than 7,000 meters, more than 4,000 battlements are set up on the city wall, and the widest part of the moat is 250 meters, so Xiangyang City has the saying of "Xiangyang of Iron" and "the first city in China" since ancient times.

The Fancheng on the other side of the Han River is located in the north of Hubei, and the Yang of the Han River has been the name of "Fancheng" since ancient times, which began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the name of "Fan" began in the Yin Shang period.

From 827 BC to 781 BC (during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou), Fancheng was built. According to the "History of the Road", it is recorded that "Fan Taibo Hou Zhongshan Fu, Xuan Wang Feng Zhi", it can be seen that the place name of "Fan" has been formed before Zhongshan Fu was sealed. From 827 BC to 781 BC, Zhongshan Fu was named the king of the "Fan Kingdom", which became the origin of the construction of Fancheng.

In ancient times, Fancheng belonged to the domain of Yuzhou. During the Qin period, Fancheng belonged to Nanyang County. Han Cheng Qin system, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, first belonged to Deng County, which was led by Nanyang County, and then belonged to Xiangyang County, Nanyang County.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao placed Xiangyang County in 208 AD, until the Western Jin Dynasty, Fancheng was subordinate to Xiangyang County. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fancheng was changed to Yongzhou. During the Western Wei Dynasty (535-556), Fancheng County was established and belonged to Henan County. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty (557-580), Fancheng County was withdrawn and Anyang County was replaced. In the first year of Tang Tianbao (742), Anyang County was changed to Linhan County.

After the four of them looked at Li Bao's planning map, everyone gasped. How dare this king think!

Seeing that the four of them all looked up, Li Bao immediately asked, "How is it, what do you think?" ”

Jing Xiang looked at the other people, and then looked up and said: "Xiangyang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with ten peaks such as Da Xian Mountain and Hutou Mountain in the south, the Han River in the north, surrounded by rivers in the east, west, north and south, the city and the river are one, the rivers depend on each other, the rivers, rivers, cities, and mountains are raised, and the Tibetan wind gathers qi. It's just that judging from the king's planning map, this Xiangyang City is only a part of the new capital? ”

"Jing Senjun has seen it thoroughly, yes, I mean to combine Xiangyang and Fancheng on the south bank of the Han River, and then form a whole new capital."

"How big does that Liulang want to build Xindu, and the water of the Han River is not so good, do you really plan to build a bridge on the water of the Han River?"

Yang Yinyue's problem is very compact, he really can't think of building a bridge over the mighty Han River between these two places, which requires not only courage but also wisdom and material resources, with the current situation of Datang and the current financial resources of Weizhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do.

Hsinchu asked, I also want to tell you my thoughts, Xiangyang is too small, the Tang people are the most heroic, if Xindu is too small, it will inevitably disappoint our people, and there is a model of Chang'an, it is because I want to combine Xiangyang and Fancheng, through the Han River we can build a capital of twin cities.

Hearing this, Zhang Chengye's head was about to explode, "Your idea is very good, and I admire the king's foresight, but with our current material and manpower, we really can't build it." ”

"Don't worry about joining the army, I haven't finished talking yet, it's really difficult to build a new capital with our current strength, but we can come little by little, in the future, our center is the construction of the new capital, and the focus of our strategy is not on the occupation of the city, since we need a lot of manpower, then the main goal of our Weizhou army and Weiyuan army is to get more manpower, after a large number of prisoners, we can build more buildings." There is also the construction of new cement-based, because Zhang joined the army in the future, your main business is to burn paper cement. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chengye's heart trembled, this is really a chore!
