The rise and fall of a country and a nation will be affected by many factors.

Where the capital is built is also one of the important factors affecting the rise and fall of the national fortune and the strength of the nation.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital from Jinling to Beijing, controlling the four razors and controlling the world, it was out of military considerations, because the northern border was often threatened by foreign races, the capital was in Jincheng, the country's political and military center was also in Jincheng, and most of the country's forces and troops were concentrated in the national capital, which was extremely unfavorable to resist foreign enemies.

If the national capital is moved to Beijing, which is close to the outside of the country, the political and military center of the country will also be moved to Beijing.

In any respect, it is very advantageous to resist foreign invasion.

If the emperor and the Manchu civil and military were hiding in Jinling City, only knowing the wind and snow and not seeing the strength of the foreign enemy, if they might feel the pressure, how could they make the country's strength gather to resist the invasion of the foreign enemy.

Luo Zheng is not proficient in history, but he also knows a general idea.

The Southern Song Dynasty in history is an example, the emperor and the civil and military officials hid in Hangzhou for pleasure, only knowing that they blindly ceded land and sued for peace with the powerful nomads in the north, but did not know how to rise up to resist, and eventually became slaves of the country.

Luo Zheng thought about this issue seriously, and he felt that the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty may also include these factors.

The Western Han Dynasty was very strong, especially during the period of Emperor Wu, even if the people were not able to make a living, and the people could not eat enough, at least the army of the Han Dynasty was very strong, and the nomads outside the country did not dare to be too arrogant.

The reason for this is inseparable from the national integrity and strength of the Han people.

Actually, to put it bluntly. It's cohesion.

Comprehensive national strength is of course the key to whether a nation is strong or not, but the cohesion of the nation is the core.

Han Chinese at that time. Because of the influence of Emperor Wu's great meritorious service to the Xiongnu in the north, the court deliberately guided it, and the education received was that the Han people were the strongest and largest nation in the world, and even if the country was chaotic, it would not tolerate foreign invasion.

This kind of popular aspiration is actually a symbol of the strength of a nation and a country.

However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation changed somewhat.

Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, since the revival of the martial arts, the Han people have been invaded by foreign people.

The Han court had no way to deal with foreign races. The nomadic tribes outside the Cyprus will become more and more aggressive.

Luo Zheng has always felt that Luoyang is a cage. Because the geographical location is located in the center of the Han Dynasty, no matter how chaotic the world is, Luoyang rarely has military disasters, which is good for the stability of the regime. But there are downsides.

That is, after a long period of peace, people will lose their sense of crisis and enterprising.

During the Zhongping period, the world was already full of water, but the bureaucrats and aristocrats in Luoyang City were still singing every night.

It is precisely because of the peace for so long and without pressure that the rulers will be fascinated by wealth and prosperity.

As long as Luoyang is not chaotic, it doesn't matter if there is occasional chaos in external strife, just put out fires everywhere.

If you are a person, you have bad roots, and it has been peaceful for a long time. Everybody thinks like that.

Luo Zheng has also been thinking about it recently, and he can't let his children and grandchildren be too comfortable. If you have the ability, you will expand the territory. If the children and grandchildren are not angry, it is nothing to change the dynasty, and let the world sit on others.

As for the eternals, forget it!

History has proven that there is no such thing as a dynasty that lasts forever.

Luo Zheng is a modern person, and he will not have such a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is very open to the change of dynasties.

Chang'an is also a heart geographically, but it is far from the Western Regions, Xiqiang, Mobei and other places. It is much closer than Luozhi, and if the center of the Xiliang military group, or the capital of the future empire, is set in Chang'an, it will inevitably bear pressure from foreign races.

This kind of pressure is not good for the stability of a regime.

But if you think about it from another angle, it is not a spur.

As long as the nation and the state are strong enough, what is the value of those foreign races.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty was in Chang'an, but its national strength was unprecedentedly strong. No foreigner dares to be arrogant.

Luo Zheng disagrees with the idea of avoiding pressure, he still prefers to let his children and grandchildren have more pressure, and only with pressure can people make progress, so as not to lose the strong foundation of the Han people in the Jiuchi Meat Forest, and they can't even raise their heads when they are bullied by other races.

The Li Dynasty can create the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the Xiliang Army can also do it.

The current prosperity of Chang'an has long surpassed Luoyang when the Eastern Han Dynasty was at its strongest.

Now the Xianbei people on the prairie have all been reduced to slaves, and which alien race dares to run to Guanzhong to plunder.

Luo Zheng felt that the military reforms and changes made by Jia Xu's gang were good, and that linking the expansion of territory with military merits could stimulate the army's enthusiasm for grabbing territory, thus creating a huge interest group.

At the heart of this interest group is the land and population grabs.

With this core, I believe that in the future, all the people on the chariot of the Xiliang Military Group will spare no effort to support the state's continuous external expansion for the sake of great feats and more benefits.

From the perspective of the Han nation, this phenomenon is good.

As far as Luo Zheng is concerned, he is also willing to see the iron hooves of the Han cavalry walking all over the world, and it would be better if future generations would compete for courage and plant the royal flag of his Luo family on the castles of Europe. You must not become a slave of nomads like the Song Dynasty.

Even if you are poor and can't afford to wear pants, you have to stand up straight.

This kind of thinking is a bit extreme and extreme, but it is the truest portrayal of Luo Zheng's heart.

The Han people can be poor, and the country can be chaotic, but they can't be bullied by other races.

If it were more extreme, if it was possible to spread the Han seed all over the world, Luo Zheng would definitely strongly approve of it, and would put it into action to support this great plan and desire, which he had already done.

Family planning is good, but it does not curb the population, but encourages childbearing.

The more Han people, the better, if one day the population is so large that the land of China can not fit it, then go to change the territory.

Now the Xiliang military group's sense of invasion is slowly forming, and under the temptation of huge military merits and interests, no one will oppose foreign invasion and expansion in order to get the rewarded pastures and fertile fields.

There are more and more meritorious soldiers, and there are fewer and fewer grass and farm houses to be rewarded.

What to do?

It's easy to do, send troops to rob it.

It's a good sign, and it's important to keep it up.

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng stood aside, waiting for Luo Zheng to decide.

Luo Zheng paced back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, and countless thoughts were spinning in his mind.

After pacing for half an hour, when Jia Xu and Fa Zheng's legs were a little sore, and they were about to fall asleep, they said: "Luoyang, as the center of the Xiliang Army, although it has advantages, it has more disadvantages. Let's take Chang'an as the center! ”

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng were stunned at the same time, and they both frowned and thought about it.

Both of them were resourceful, and they quickly figured out Luo Zheng's intentions. (To be continued) R580
