This is also the reason why Liu Zhang must conquer Goguryeo, not only to seed poppies, but also because the Korean Peninsula is much closer to the Japanese slave country than the Han Dynasty itself.

If you occupy Baekje, you don't even need to develop a navy, even the current navy can pose a threat to the Japanese slave state at any time, and as long as you have this deterrent effect, it will be much easier to rule the Japanese slaves.

The first step is to import opium, the second step is to control the economic lifeline and develop the navy, and the third step is to assimilate into the inherent territory of the Great Han.

These three steps required Goguryeo, and the Han Dynasty also needed to be able to control the eastern part completely, which was one of the main reasons why Liu Zhang decided to make the capital of Beiping. The capital was Chang'an or Luoyang, and even Goguryeo could not control it, let alone the Japanese slave state.

Now, more than half a year has passed since the Xu family's expedition, and news has come back, and now the people of the Xu family have arrived in Yamatai, which has greatly increased the strength of Yamatai, and the war is going well, and the mission is also going well.

Of course, the import of opium was also carried out in an orderly manner, and the upper echelons of many small countries could not wait to ask for the holy fruit.

In this way, the first step is the beginning, and the next step is the second step, which is to open up Goguryeo.

When Goguryeo's port and the "farm" of the golden fat man are built, Goguryeo can become prosperous, as long as it is prosperous, and it is so close to Beiping, it will be much easier to control.

In order to achieve this goal, Liu Zhang doesn't mind giving Jin Fat some subsidies, Jin Fat wants to make money, Liu Zhang doesn't want him to make a scale quickly.

While Liu Zhang was thinking, Huang Yueying saw that no one came to toast for the time being, and finally said to Liu Zhang: "Lord." Why did the Queen Mother crown me, why did you King Yan? Why did the lord do this? ”

"Huh? Oh. You say this? Isn't it very clear in Fu Shou's edict? You've done a lot of work. Liu Zhang smiled. A little bit of wine in the mouth.

Huang Yueying pinched Liu Zhang's thigh under the table, and said, "Seriously, is the lord because he wants to hide people's eyes?" Cover up the construction of Youzhou? Let everyone think that it was built for Yueying? Also, is it to let Yueying be in Youzhou to help the Han control Goguryeo? ”

Liu Zhang didn't expect Huang Yueying to think like this, but there was no surprise, no matter how smart Huang Yueying was, she would never have thought that Liu Zhang was going to settle the capital in Beiping.

Perhaps Beiping is not as prosperous as Chang'an Luoyang, and it is not even as prosperous as Chengdu Yecheng.

But since ancient times. If you want to control the grasslands and the northeast, you must make Beijing the capital.

The northerners are strong, if the capital is the Central Plains or the south, the north is easy to evolve a strong force over time, and it is a force that cannot be tolerated by the Han Dynasty, then Liu Zhang's plan to control the grassland will be put to waste.

Not to mention controlling Goguryeo and the Uzun.

And the capital,It's not who is prosperous who is the capital.,You have to look at the value of an empire.,Although Beijing is far from the southwest.,But because of the degree of sinicization.。 The southwest will not get out of control.

The Western Regions, on the other hand, are inherently resource-poor. The population is sparse, and it is destined to be able to rule there, but it cannot be stable, rebellion cannot be created, stability cannot be stabilized, and the value is really not so great.

Beijing, the so-called Son of Heaven guarding the country, if the capital is the Central Plains or the south, the grasslands are fierce and there is no sinicization, it is easy to get out of control.

And if the descendants of the Han Dynasty did not have enough patience and felt that the grassland was a burden, and it was far away from the capital, they would definitely give up the territory there, which Liu Zhang did not allow.

With the resource advantages of the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula, it can be built into a prosperous place like the Central Plains, and Liu Zhang feels that the capital of Beijing is very rewarding.

But if he says this to Huang Yueying now, Huang Yueying will definitely not listen to it and will not approve of it, so Liu Zhang doesn't want to say it.

"My lord." Huang Yueying said to Liu Zhang: "The lord wants to control Goguryeo's mood, Yueying can understand, but Yueying feels that he should not be crowned king, this is too high expectations for the ministers in advance, the lord should not be such a generous person, or ask the queen mother to take back her fate, Yueying is willing to act as a pastor for Youzhou and take care of Goguryeo." ”

"Thank you, Yueying." Liu Zhang suddenly held Huang Yueying's hand, and was a little moved in his heart, this place in Youzhou is not as prosperous as in later generations, and it is basically called a bitter cold land by the people of the Central Plains.

In the past, during the Warring States Period, the prince of Qin was exiled to Yan State, and they all felt that it was exile, as if they were confiscated into the army.

Huang Yueying didn't know that she wanted to set the capital of Beiping, but she was willing to remove the throne, shepherd Youzhou, and manage Goguryeo.

Liu Zhang knew that Huang Yueying did not approve of his expedition to Goguryeo, but now he was willing to suffer himself and pay for Liu Zhang's "recklessness".

With such a military advisor and such a wife, Liu Zhang felt very satisfied.

Originally, Liu Zhang planned to wait until Cao Chong built Youzhou and Beiping to a certain extent. Come to a bully and force the capital of Beiping. But Huang Yueying's words made Liu Zhang feel that there was nothing to hide from her.

Huang Yueying was stopped by Liu Zhang's hand and was stunned for a moment, she felt that she had analyzed, as if something was wrong, and felt that according to her own ideas, although the logic was smooth, it was not in line with Liu Zhang's character.

At this time, Liu Zhang held his hand, his expression was very solemn, and Huang Yueying knew that she had really guessed wrong.

"Yueying." Liu Zhang said: "Some decisions I have hidden from you, this time I asked Fu Shou to canonize you as the King of Yan, there are two purposes, after you hear it, don't get excited, listen to my explanation slowly, okay?" ”

"Excited?" Huang Yueying looked at Liu Zhang vigilantly, with a bad premonition in her heart, she was fed up with Liu Zhang's sometimes arbitrariness, even before she joined Liu Zhang, she already knew that Liu Zhang had this problem.

"You say it first, it's my business whether to get excited or not."

Liu Zhang said: "Two purposes, first, in fact, it is similar to what you expected, canonizing you as the king of Yan, I do want to cover up the project of Youzhou, but it is not for you to control Goguryeo in Youzhou." Instead, I plan to move the capital to Beiping. ”

"What?" As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, Huang Yueying stood up suddenly, attracting many guests around, all of whom looked at Huang Yueying in dismay, Liu Zhang hurriedly pulled Huang Yueying, and glared at the other civil and military forces fiercely.

The other civil and military thought that there was some conflict between the feelings of the two people, after all, this was a banquet not a military meeting, except for a few female dependents, everyone turned their heads and continued to eat and drink, and those who wanted to come to toast also sat back in place with interest, waiting for Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang to finish speaking.

Huang Yueying sat down slowly, and finally lowered her voice, but her tone was still full of surprise: "Lord, you're not joking, are you?" Dingdu Beiping? What is Beiping? It's so far from being loyal to the rule, do you know how much time it takes to travel from Yizhou to Youzhou?

And the most important thing is that most of the martial arts under the lord's command are from the western part of the Han Dynasty, and there are a few who are willing to move the capital to Youzhou, even those merchants, and no one is willing, does the lord know how big the hindrance is to moving the capital? ”

Of course, Liu Zhang knew that Beiping was not suitable for controlling the southwest and western regions, and he also knew how much obstacle it would encounter when moving the capital to Beiping.

In the end, Emperor Wei played a trick, saying that he was going to the south, and the domestic civil and military did not want to go south, and finally it evolved into either moving the capital or the south, and finally after the civil and military weighed, he had no choice but to move the capital.

The Northern Wei Dynasty needs to move the capital like this, of course, Liu Zhang also knows that the resistance to moving the capital is not small, so he thought of the overlord to make a bow, he doesn't want to slowly solicit opinions, soliciting opinions is equivalent to grinding his mouth, there are thousands of ministers, Liu Zhang only has one mouth, how can he say it.

"Yueying, tell you not to get excited, listen to me." Liu Zhang clasped Huang Yueying's shoulder and said.

"Then you say." Huang Yueying huffed.

Both of them knew that things could not be publicized, and their voices were very small, and the people at the other tables thought that Liu Zhang had offended Huang Yueying somewhere, and they were apologizing, and they were all surprised that a woman like Huang Yueying would be petty.

But such a beautiful woman, even if she looks angry, is just as good-looking.

The man who apologized to the woman was the most faceless, afraid that Liu Zhang would be embarrassed and angry, and all the civil and military officers did not dare to look at this side, and continued to eat and drink rationally.

It's just that there is a person outside the window who is very dissatisfied, Latia pointed to Liu Zhang, who carefully explained to Huang Yueying, and said to Guan Yinping: "Look at him, he is really spineless in front of other women, hateful." ”

"Oh?" Guan Yinping also looked over, and smiled slightly when he saw the scene inside, "I think a person like King Shu is a good person, he is not confused about big things, and he can pull his face down in small things." ”

"It's what women like you are used to, like a man, it's good to see everything."

Latia returned to the stone table, disdainfully said, Guan Yinping sat down next to her, and said to Latiea: "That Latia girl likes a person, is she specifically picking fault with that person?" ”

"What's wrong? …… Yes...... What did you say? I'm not as stupid as you, and I don't like him...... Kindness? Didn't we say you came? What about me. ”

Lathia changed the topic and said to Guan Yinping: "Yinping girl, is what you just said true?" Do you really, like that person? ”

Guan Yinping hesitated for a moment, nodded, with a little blush on his face, and his hand rubbed the scimitar in his waist unnaturally.

"Then why don't you just tell him?"

"Huh? Straight to the point? Can you talk about this kind of thing? …… And. Guan Yinping suddenly said a little melancholy: "I don't know what he thinks of me at all, we have never had anything, and if there is anything, it is also because of acting." ”

"Drama? A man's play? He ...... you How can this be justified, so that he is not responsible? ”

Latia was suddenly furious, stood up and was about to enter the house, Guan Yinping hurriedly grabbed her, originally Guan Yinping said that he was acting in the Northland Zhelanying camp, but he didn't expect Latia to think crookedly, and hurriedly said: "It's not like that, anyway, now I have nothing to do with him except for the main minister."
