Chapter 512: Moving the Capital

Imperial Palace.

The first of the three major halls of the outer court of the Forbidden Palace, that is, the commonly known Jinluan Palace, was originally named Fengtian Hall when it was first built, and it was renamed Huangji Hall when it was Jiajing.

This hall was destroyed by fire three times during the Yongle, Zhengzheng and Jiajing periods, and was subsequently restored.

However, this Jinluan Hall is equivalent to a large auditorium of the imperial court, and it is only used for very important ceremonial ceremonies. After Liu Jun became emperor, the layout of the palace basically followed the previous dynasty. Liu Jun was in the last dynasty, and the upper dynasty was mainly in Taihe Gate and Qianqing Gate, which was called the imperial gate to listen to the government.

Or when there is an important matter, directly summon the minister in the Qianqing Palace.

The ministers and ministers who are summoned are mostly in the upper study or the south study on both sides of the Qianqing Gate, and occasionally there is a heart cultivation hall.

Except for Liu Jun's enthronement in the Huangji Hall when he succeeded to the throne, canonized the queen, and ordered the three governors to lead the army last time, this hall has been idle. Only when Liu Jun's birthday is celebrated, New Year's Day, and the winter solstice will this golden palace be reopened and congratulated by civil and military officials here.

But today, Liu Jun came to the Golden Palace again.

Just today, the Han Dynasty officially agreed to the Manchu Qing's request for peace and surrender and signed a peace agreement. The Manchu Emperor Fulin removed the title of emperor and was demoted to the king of the Qing State, and at the same time declared himself a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. The Qing State also crowned Makata as the eldest princess of Gulun, and married the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty.

The border between the two countries was also established, bounded by the Liao River in the west and the Yalu River in the east, and Jinzhou and Fuzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula, and Zhenjiang and Kuanshun in the north of the Yalu River were all assigned to the Han Dynasty.

The agreement also stipulated that Mongolia and Korea were both vassals of the Han Dynasty, and Qing soldiers were not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the two feudals, nor were they allowed to enter the territory of the two feudals.

Every year, the Qing State had to send an envoy to Beijing to participate in the New Year's Day pilgrimage and pay tribute to Liaodong. Tributary trade between the Han and Qing dynasties was allowed.

At this time, the Qing Kingdom no longer had the capital to be arrogant with the Han Dynasty.

The peace agreement was signed, and Liu Jun gave a banquet to the hundred officials and Qing envoys in the Imperial Palace.

Liu Jun just drank a few glasses and left.

Clear the door to the study.

The Admiral of the Nine Gates, An Luboluo, said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Manchu Qing has confessed. ”

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Feng Sheng smile. "The latest information from Liaodong, Dolgon is preparing to move east with Daishan."

"Moving east? Where to move? Liu Yunsheng, the governor of Zhili, said with some surprise.

Now the original Zhili Province has been renamed Hebei Province, and the Governor of Zhili has jurisdiction over the newly established Suiyuan Province in addition to Shanxi and Hebei Provinces. The Yamen, the governor of Zhili, also moved from Beijing to Baoding.

Just yesterday, the emperor just issued an edict to cut and merge the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains provinces, except for Beijing in Hebei Province, Nanjing in Jiangnan Province, and Luoyang in Henan Province. The prefectures in the remaining provinces of the world were merged and abolished, or merged with the counties into prefectures, or directly divided and merged into surrounding counties, or changed into counties.

The Han Dynasty abolished the state level, whether it was the direct subordinate of the imperial court or the direct subordinate of the province, all of them were abolished. Later, it was a system of large administrative divisions at the provincial, prefectural and county levels.

Also on the provinces. There will also be a road level, two provinces or three or four provinces for one road. The road is led by a governor. And the province will also have a Taoist level, and there will be a Taoist in charge.

However, the two levels of roads and roads are different from those of provincial capitals and counties. There are complete teams at the provincial capital and county levels, but for roads and roads, there are only the governor's yamen and the daotai yamen headed by the governor and the Taoist, and there are no other yamen at the same level.

And outside the gates, as well as in the southwest. Then the state and county will be established, the league will be changed to the state, and the flag will be changed to the county. The Xuanfu Divisions and other Tusi in the southwest have also been changed to prefectures and counties. Although these are outside the Mongol tribes, and the southwestern and other Tusi. It is still hereditary, but the imperial court also set up another prefecture and county in these places, one place, and two sets of teams.

In the future, no matter where the imperial court hits, it will definitely be established according to this standard.

Feng Sheng told Liu Jun that although the news had just arrived, it was absolutely reliable.

"After the defeat of the Qing army in Yanbei, Duoduo and Azig were killed, Haoge surrendered, Zilharang withdrew across the Liao River, and the Manchu Qing was also pessimistic. They were all worried that we would immediately go east, and although we later agreed to make peace, Dorgon and the others were still uneasy. Especially now that the Mongol tribes in southern Mo have abandoned the Qing Dynasty and attached themselves to the Han, the Jurchens are even more frightened. ”

"The nobles of the Eight Banners all asked to move eastward, and the current capital Shengjing is too close to the border of the Han Dynasty, and after His Majesty only led tens of thousands of horses to Shengjing City last time, they all asked to move the capital."

Liu Jun smiled, "Where do they want to move?" ”

In fact, at this stage, it is impossible for Liu Jun to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Liu Jun is now busy quelling the rebellion in the Central Plains and deploying his troops to Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guichuan and other places, and on the other hand, he is also going to take down the Mongol tribes in southern Mo such as Hetao and Yanbei.

First subdued Monan, the Han Dynasty would no longer have to worry about the future, and then the Qing army would be isolated, and then it would be easy to pacify him.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if they move the capital or not now, anyway, Liu Jun will not fight him for the time being. But when Liu Jun frees his hand, even if the Qing people move the capital, it won't make any sense, no matter how far they run, Liu Jun can find them.

"It's not going to be a move to Jianzhouwei, right?" Fu Shan also chuckled, the Manchu Qing who once threatened the Ming Dynasty emperor and hundreds of officials who could sleep day and night is now just a scarred lone wolf in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty.

What Fu Shan said is also based on the fact that Jianzhou Wei, the old nest of the Jurchens, is far away from the border of the Liaohe River. But don't forget, the Han army has already controlled the Yalu River, from the original Zhenjiang and Phi Dao, Yiju City, to the later sweep of the Kuandian Forts.

In fact, the first line of the Yalu River is controlled by the Han army, not only the line on the south bank of the Yalu River is now directly under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, but also the line on the north bank, which is also the actual control area of the Han army.

Especially now that the Han army has re-entered the Kuandian District, building forts and garrisoning troops in this place.

The Kuandian area is very close to Jianzhou Wei, and the six forts of Kuandian were to stifle the expansion of Jianzhou Jurchen from the southwest.

Now if the Jurchens dare to return to Jianzhou, it is actually better to stay in Shenyang.

"The Jurchens want to move their capital to Harwin on the banks of the Songhua River." Feng Shengdao.

"Songhuajiang? Harwin? ”

Several ministers were unfamiliar with these two names.

Feng Sheng walked to the map and pointed at a distance from the northeast of Shenyang.

"Songhua River, Liaojin called Duck River, Yuan Dynasty was called Songwa River, to Ming Xuande began to be called Songhua River. Harwin. The meaning of the Manchu swan, in the early years of the previous Ming Dynasty, there was a thorn Lu Wei here. From Harwin to Shenyang, it is 1,200 miles. It is more than 2,500 miles away from Beijing, and even if Harwin goes to Lushun, it is enough to travel 2,000 miles. ”

"And Harwin. Winters are extremely cold, with at least five months of the year being extremely cold. ”

Liu Jun looked at the map and thought about it, isn't this Harwin Harbin.

Dolgon and Daishan had to move so far, he frowned. He immediately thought of a possibility, Dolgon and Daishan, an old fox and a little fox, both of whom were very cunning. Their move to Harwin could not be fearful, but rather a strategic choice.

Today's Qing Dynasty no longer has the advantage of Huang Taiji over the Ming Dynasty, between the Qing and the Han. is at a complete disadvantage, the loss of troops is broken, the people rebel and leave, and if it continues like this, it will definitely be destroyed by the Han army.

With the current strength of the Qing army, when the Han army attacks, it will definitely not be able to hold Liaoshen, once the offensive and defensive battles are fought. They estimate that they will really destroy the country and extinct the species.

However, the north and east of the Qing people are completely vast. Although many tribes lived, they had all submitted to the Manchu horse's hooves over the years.

In the past, the Jurchens did not fancy these places, and they have always put the direction of development in Liaodong and Liaoxi, hoping to invade the Central Plains.

But now, when the situation is extremely bad, the Qing people are seeking peace with the Han. On the other hand, they are preparing to move the capital.

"These two old foxes, they are cunning." Liu Jun sneered, he immediately saw through the plan of the Qing people.

It's about trading space for time.

In this era, limited by technology, transportation, etc., distance is the best defense. Distance is also the worst enemy.

The farther the distance, the higher the cost of the attack and the greater the supply pressure. When an army is fighting across thousands of miles, the logistical pressure on supplies will be extremely enormous, and it will have to use far more civilians than the army itself, not to mention the huge increase in food and other consumption.

Moreover, Feng Sheng also said just now that Harwin is an extremely cold place. There is a long winter every year, which is the place where the water really drips into ice, and if the war does not end in the summer and autumn, then for the attackers, the winter of Harwyn, it will be a deadly killer.

If one is not good, it will be the same as Gustav and Napoleon, who killed Teller and others who attacked Russia in history, no matter how invincible their army is in Europe, they will eventually be defeated by an unimaginable winter.

Historically, Yang Guang fought Goguryeo, and the distance of the attack was far less than that of Harwin, and the climate was not so difficult, but it still made the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion who had swept the Central Plains and unified the world return several times, and even made Yang Guang lose the world.

"The strong man gave up his wrist, but Dolgon and Daishan are so bold."

Liu Jun shook his head, and couldn't help but be a little amazed by their decisiveness.

Fu Shan, when they heard the emperor say this, they also understood.

Seeing everyone's solemn appearance, Liu Jun laughed for a while.

"Actually, it's not as powerful as you think, he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder. After the Jurchens moved north, although it did make our conquest a little troublesome, it was at most a little more troublesome. We don't need to fight a battle, we can advance slowly, recover Liaodong little by little, and then advance to Liaobei. ”

"As long as we gain a foothold in Liaodong and control Liaodong, then we can accumulate grain and grass, build castles, step by step to build our city fortresses and roads to the north, and calmly transport our reserves to the north. When everything is ready, even if the Jurchens move to the North Sea, we can still swallow them up little by little. ”

"Forget it, let them move, they take the initiative to move north, it's fine. When we free up our hands to go on the Northern Expedition, we will be able to take Liaodong more easily. Besides, the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River basin are not good places, and life will be very difficult to move there. ”

Liu Yunsheng proposed, "Why don't you send troops to the Northern Expedition to destroy them before the Tartars escape?" ”

"There's no need for that." Liu Jun waved his hand, "We have our pace and rhythm, so we don't have to worry about the tartars." Now is not the time to go all out to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and there is no hurry. Let them move north first, just let them help the Han Dynasty open the way, let them help the empire conquer Mobei, and then we will accept it together. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fu Shan and the others couldn't help but praise loudly. (To be continued.) )
