Chapter 3 Moving the Capital?
"Move the capital?" King Han looked at Zhang Ping and Fan Sui in front of him with a puzzled face.
As we entered August, the world was completely calm. South Korea is intensively planning the reform of Hedong, Hanoi, Dongjun, and Dangjun, and is very busy. Prime Minister Zhang Ping and Imperial Historian Fan Sui jointly wrote at this time and asked King Han to move the capital to Luoyang.
"This new Zhengcheng is fine, why did the two Aiqing suddenly think about moving the capital?" King Han asked with interest.
Zhang Ping and Fan Sui glanced at each other, and finally Zhang Ping spoke: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, we moved the capital of South Korea to Yiyang and Yangzhai on the one hand to avoid Qin, and on the other hand, to destroy Zheng and expand our power in the Central Plains. and Zheng was destroyed, and the capital was moved to Xinzheng in order to dominate the Central Plains and even dominate the world. The so-called one who wins the Central Plains wins the world, and now, the king is wise, and South Korea is already the hegemon of the Central Plains, and it is also the first power today. The Central Plains was established, and the king wanted to dominate the world, when the north competed with Yan and Zhao, the west contended with Qin, the east and Qi competed for hegemony, and the south wrestled with Chu. What does the king think? ”
King Han smiled and nodded, South Korea is now based in the Central Plains, and it is taking the road of fighting in the south and the north, and fighting in the east and west. Although it has not yet been determined in which direction to expand the territory, a major war is inevitable. What Zhang Ping said is true, except for one sentence! South Korea's move of the capital to Xinzheng was not to dominate the Central Plains, but more to avoid the Qin state, and at the same time to prevent the Zheng state from resurrecting like the Zhongshan state. It's just that this strategy may not be very clever in the eyes of later generations, the Central Plains was originally a place of four wars, and the limited national strength and Wei and Chu were maneuvered, and the little effect of South Korea's Shen Bu Harm change law was also exhausted. What South Korea really needed to do at that time was to go south. It's just that King Han naturally won't break this point.
Zhang Ping said again: "The minister heard that the establishment of the state and the capital is all based on dangers. Mountains and rivers, the dangers of the sky are also; The City Builder. The dangers of people are also. The city must be strengthened by the mountains and rivers. Luoyang is the center of the world, according to the north of the mountain, the south of the Yique, Luoshui runs through it, the east according to the water pass, the west control of the Hangu pass. Surrounded by mountains and majestic passes, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Where this great cause lies! But please move the king to Luoyang and dominate the world! ”
King Han was silent on the surface, and nodded secretly in his heart, Luoyang has a long history as the capital. Since the Xia and Shang periods, it has been used as the capital. It's just that at that time, Luoyang was still called Xunxun and Xihao. Geographically speaking, the Luoyang area can be said to be pressed by Jianghuai in the east and Guanlong in the west. The north leads to Youyan, and the south is Jingxiang. It's just that the matter of moving the capital is a big deal, and King Han doesn't want to make a decision to move the capital easily. After all, South Korea has been running Xinzheng for more than 100 years. Xinzheng's grass and trees, King Han knows it well. Moreover, if the capital was moved hastily, without a few years of operation, Luoyang is not as strong as Xinzheng!
Fan Sui took the opportunity to speak. Said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Luoyang is a good place to build the capital. Korea now has 12 counties. Luoyang is close to Sanchuan and Hedong in the west, Shangdang in the north, Hanoi and Dongjun in the east, and Yingchuan, Nanyang and Runan in the south. And now the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Qi are just forced to give in to the form for the time being. There will be a big war in the coming days, and it is most convenient for the king to pass through the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Qi and send troops from Luoyang. ”
In fact, as Fan Sui said, Xinzheng is now more convenient than Sanchuan, Runan, Nanyang, Dongjun and Dangjun. It is indeed inconvenient to go to Hedong and Shangdang. Shangdang is better, but Hedong is an eventful place. It is bordered by Taiyuan in the north and internal history in the west, sandwiched between Qin and Zhao, and is the most vulnerable to pinching! If Korea moves its capital, then Hedong can easily get reinforcements from Luoyang in the event of an attack.
King Han was noncommittal, but said with a smile: "The widow has heard that the country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers. However, if you want to talk about the danger of mountains and rivers, Xinzheng is afraid that it will not go to Luoyang. There is Xuanyuan Pass in the west of Xinzheng, there is Shankou (Mountain) Fortress in the southwest, there is Putian Daze in the northeast, and there are many cities around it, which can be completely planned! And the Wei State was initially decided, and the people were uneasy, if the capital was moved to Luoyang, I am afraid that something would be inappropriate! ”
As soon as Fan Sui heard this, he knew that King Han was a little lax about Qin and Zhao, and King Han was afraid that he thought that recovering the hearts of the people of Wei and preventing the restoration of Wei was the most important thing! In other words, King Han did not forget the danger of Qin and Zhao, but only thought that within three or five years, it would be enough to collect the people of Wei for his own use, and it would not be too late to talk about moving the capital at that time!
"How long does the Xinzheng agreement last?" Fan Sui asked.
King Han frowned and said in a deep voice: "There should always be three or five years of time!" Doctor Yu Shi must be worried about the turmoil in Dongjun and Dangjun, Xinzheng is restless, right? ”
After all, the influence of Wei was very great, especially in the two counties of Dongjun and Dangjun. Now Xinlingjun is taking refuge in Linzi, and he deliberately does not mention this matter, on the one hand, he is unwilling to force the Qi State too tightly, and on the other hand, he is also afraid of Xinlingjun's good name. If you really catch Xinlingjun and use it, don't worry. It's a pity to kill it. It's better to leave it to the Qi State, and let the Qi State support Xinling Jun. According to the caution of the Qi State, Xinlingjun is bound to be tied up in the Qi State, just like Meng Weijun in the Wei State, but it is just an ornament! What he has is time for the people of Wei to taste the benefits of the new law, and when he has collected the hearts of the people of Wei, even if Xinlingjun sneaks back to Wei, it will be difficult to make a big difference!
Fan Sui first shook his head, and then nodded, which made King Han very puzzled. Fan Sui smiled bitterly: "Hedong and Hanoi Wei have not worked hard, and it is not difficult to implement the new law. But the new law is definitely not easy to implement in Dongjun and Dangjun! The minister received a report from the imperial history of the two counties, and many local heroes raised private soldiers and plotted against them! The new law is a land division that is strictly based on titles, and these places are powerful and only wealthy, and they will definitely not be willing to hand over the land. Even if they did not dare to contend with the king's army on the surface, they would secretly cause trouble and sow discord between the people and the local officials. The king must know that the relationship between these powerful people in the local area is intricate and intertwined. Now that the people's hearts have been decided, if the king uses a large army to make an example, it will only make the situation more tense. If you want to truly achieve a stable country, and run Dongjun and Dangjun airtightly, three or five years is definitely not enough! ”
"And", Fan Sui paused slightly, and said: "I'm afraid that we won't even have three or five years in South Korea!" ”
Zhang Ping also sighed and echoed: "Your Majesty, the reason why we can easily destroy the Wei State this time is not that the Wei State is not strong, and the Korean national strength is unstoppable, but that the timing is right!" Wei offended Chu in the front, betrayed Han and Zhao in the back, and the Qin State of Hope, and returned defeated, and after the king sent troops to attack Wei, the only one willing to reinforce Wei was just Qi State! Waiting for the Korean army to win three battles and three victories, the soldiers surrounded the Liang, and the princes and countries were afraid that Korea would take advantage of the situation to annex Wei, but at this time, King Qin Zhao and King Qi Xiang collapsed, and King Zhao Huiwen had not been in control of the sky for a long time, and no country would use swords and soldiers! It can only be swallowed up by our Korea! ”
Although the king preserved the society of Wei and allowed the Marquis of Wei to have a hundred miles of land to worship his ancestors, it also relieved the princes of the world to be wary of Korea. But that's just a little bit of a solution! South Korea has a population of more than one million (households), and it does not take five years to recruit a million troops. The prosperity of Korea today is no less than the Qin State more than ten years ago, and the king is younger than King Qin Zhao! It is true that the kings of Qin, Qi, and Zhao were young, but it was precisely because of their youth that they knew that state affairs were difficult. When they sit on the throne, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not unite, and at that time, South Korea will be attacked on all sides, so what can they do? ”
King Han looked at the anxious eyes of Zhang Ping and Fan Sui, and knew what they were worried about! The five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Yan will not allow Korea to digest Wei cleanly! Because once digested, South Korea will be even more invincible! Maybe a year later, or two years later, the five countries will gather a large army and attack Korea from four directions: south, east, west, and north. South Korea's vast territory means that the forces are dispersed. At that time, the power of Wei will definitely resurge, and the Wei army from Dongjun and Dangjun will go straight to Xinzheng. In this case, it is better to move the capital to Luoyang than to use Xinzheng as the capital. At least, Luoyang is farther away from the front line, even if it is to exchange space for time, South Korea's chances of winning will be three points more!
The Qin State has 800 miles of Qinchuan, whether it is the princes of the Five Kingdoms or the army of the Nine Kingdoms, the Qin State only needs to guard the Hangu Pass, and the allied forces of the Shandong countries can return with a feather. And South Korea, located in the Central Plains, Xinzheng is even more critical, and it is obviously impossible to keep the enemy out of the country! It is very likely that Xinzheng will be surrounded by the armies of the Five Kingdoms, and at that time, once the poorly commanded Korean army is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Luoyang is naturally suitable as the capital, but Luoyang is too small after all, and it will take a lot of time to renovate it!" King Han raised his concerns.
Seeing that Han Wang's tone was relaxed, Zhang Ping and Fan Sui were all relieved. As long as King Han does not insist so much on Xinzheng as the national capital, then it is easy to say. Xinzheng is really too close to Dongjun and Dangjun, if Qi and Chu are united, they will definitely attack from this direction, and when Xinlingjun raises his arms, Dongjun and Dangjun will definitely not be able to hold on. In this case, it is better to sacrifice Yingchuan County, and the Korean army will drag the Qi and Chu coalition forces in Yingchuan, and then gather a large army to counterattack!
"Now that the cement reserves in the treasury are sufficient, it will be a cold winter soon, and the king can just recruit young and strong, and the palace in Luoyang City can be used after a short rest. If 100,000 young people work together, Chen believes that it will be enough to build a brand new Luoyang City within half a year! During this time, Wang Shang can still use Xinzheng as the accompanying capital to repair the city defense of Xinzheng and be prepared! Fan Sui immediately spoke.
King Han nodded silently and said, "This matter will be handed over to the court meeting tomorrow for discussion!" (To be continued......)
