Move the capital to Hangzhou!

Wang Boyan threw out an astonishing opinion.

"Move the capital to Hangzhou!" Zhao Pu's face flashed with surprise, dazedness, and overwhelm, but his heart was extremely bright.

This is the civil official group, put forward the idea of moving the capital!

Wang Boyan is the head of civil officials. The opinions he put forward not only represent his own views, but also represent the views of most literati in the court.

Wang Boyan said: "Your Majesty, the Jin army was defeated and retreated in this battle, Jiangnan suffered a catastrophe, only by moving the capital can we calm people's hearts, this is one of them; Second, Jiangnan is the foundation of our Great Song Dynasty taxation and the foundation of the Northern Expedition, and there is no room for negligence, and the relocation of the capital can be used for fiscal and taxation; Third, Jiankang is too close to the Yangtze River, once the Jin army crosses the river, it is in danger, and Jiankang is lost in this battle, which means that Jiankang cannot be the capital; Fourth, only Hangzhou is located in the center of the south of the Yangtze River, and can calmly control the ............ of the south of the Yangtze River."

Wang Boyan said a lot of reasons, which were a bit far-fetched, but Zhao Pu didn't refute it, just listened quietly.

Kings need too much listening, not too much arguing and arguing!

After the last, Zhao Pu said: "The matter of moving the capital will be discussed tomorrow!" ”

………………

"Move the capital, Hangzhou!" Back in the dormitory, Zhao Pu was still thinking about what had just happened.

Where is the capital?

To some extent, determine the national policy of a country.

The capital of Chang'an is conducive to controlling the Western Regions and the Silk Road, and at the same time forming a strong deterrent to the Central Plains, Hebei and other places, and sending troops to quell the rebellion at any time. In the past dynasties, Chang'an, the capital was to a large extent to form a strategic deterrent to the powerful families in the east, and a military deterrent to the grassland peoples in the west and north;

The capital of Luoyang and Bianliang is in the center, which is conducive to the domination of the Central Plains, and can also be when the Central Plains Dynasty is weak. Avoid the sharp edge of the northern ethnic minorities;

The capital of Jiankang and Hangzhou is conducive to controlling finance and taxation and ensuring the wealth of the central government;

The decision to make Beijing the capital is conducive to controlling the northeast and suppressing the ethnic minorities in the north; The disadvantage is that it is not conducive to controlling the south, and it will cause the south to form a feudal town.

And no matter where the capital is, no one is in Xiangyang.

As the saying goes, neither east nor west, not things!

All dynasties have seen the importance of Xiangyang. However, no one has ever moved the capital to Xiangyang, because Xiangyang is only suitable for the division of feudal towns, but not for controlling the world.

Zhao Pu asked: "Wu'er, you say, is it appropriate to be in Xiangyang?" ”

"Not good!" Wang Wuyue on the side said. "In the past dynasties, there has never been a fixed capital of Xiangyang. The capital is Xiangyang. Most of them are secessionist regimes, and their life span is not long! ”

"It's just that Xiangyang can't do it, and there is that place again!" Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "Jiankang, feng shui is not good. The dynasty of Jiankang, the capital of Dingdu, has always been short-lived; It is not possible to set the capital of Hangzhou, it seems that there is only Wu Yue. The capital is Hangzhou, but it has strong financial resources, but it surrenders without a fight. In short, Jiankang and Hangzhou, I am not optimistic, they are both short-lived dynasties; Only Xiangyang is the most suitable, but Xiangyang is too close to the front line, as long as the Jin army has a surprise attack, a few days of rushing, you can kill under Xiangyang City, and the day is not safe! ”

I like Xiangyang the most, but Xiangyang is too close to the front line, and safety is not guaranteed.

Just like last time, there was no sign at all, and the Jin army killed Xiangyang and began to besiege the Martial Arts Academy. If he hadn't prepared properly, he would have died on the spot.

The capital, the first element, is stability!

There are reliable barriers that can stop enemy troops. Otherwise, only near the capital, hoarding a large number of troops, just like Bianliang.

Xiangyang, located in the central zone, is a transit station and a strategic fortress of Haolu, but it is not the capital of Haolu.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter where you are, it's the people who are planning things, it's the people who are important!" Wang Wuyue persuaded.

Zhao Pu said: "Everyone in the world says that the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people." In fact, if it is bad, the people's will can be bought, and people can be fought for, but the disadvantage in terms of geographical advantages is extremely difficult to make up, and if it is forcibly made up, it will also pay a heavy price; And to redeem the time and the general trend of the world is tantamount to going against the sky. Against the sky, it would be good if one out of ten succeeded. The world attaches great importance to people and despises the geographical advantages and natural times, which is just self-deception; There is no time, there is no location, and people are also trees without roots and water without roots! ”

At this time, Zhao Pu was a little hesitant and a little confused, all of this fell in Wang Wuyue's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, and said, "Why don't you ask the cabinet?" ”

"The Cabinet can't do it!" Zhao Pu vetoed it, "Cabinet, it's okay to handle some government affairs, but if you discuss moving the capital and quarrel for more than ten days, you may not be able to quarrel with a result!" ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Qin Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" Wang Wuyue said again.

Zhao Pu's expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart, and asked quietly, "Qin Hui?" What do you think of him? ”

Wang Wuyue said: "The great talent of the country! Lord Qin, only slightly not inferior to Wang Jinggong, Sima Guang! ”

Zhao Pu nodded, Qin Hui's talent is indeed not inferior to Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and is the top talent, but it's a pity that this person lacks principles. Without principles, excellent talents are not only unprofitable, but even harmful!

"That's it, only Qin Hui can solve it at this moment!"

Although he didn't like Qin Hui, and although he was jealous of Qin Hui, Zhao Pu had to admit that Qin Hui was very capable, whether it was speculating on people's hearts, national politics, etc., he was a world-class talent. Counting the talents of the Song Dynasty, there are really few who can be compared with him. It's a pity that Qin Hui has always lacked principles, and unprincipled means difficult to control.

…………

"What do you think of moving the capital to Hangzhou?" Without superfluous words, Zhao Pu got straight to the point and asked.

"Your Majesty's ......" Qin Hui had a feeling of shock, because this emperor was too unreasonable to play his cards.

The average emperor always likes to dress himself up unfathomable, likes to disguise himself, and seems to be incalculable.

But this emperor is different, his personality is calm to the extreme, and when the Jin army attacked Xiangyang, he did not panic at all; When the Jin army retreated, and there were praises everywhere, they were as calm as ever; He is simple and direct, pointing to the essence of affairs, not fighting with his courtiers at all, playing conspiracy, everything is straightforward, seemingly reckless, but the most terrifying.

Such an emperor can only confess his heart, what to say, it doesn't matter if he is wrong; But if you are scheming and constantly fooling, you will be unlucky.

Don't threaten with false fame, this emperor values practical interests and doesn't care about the so-called fame at all.

If he can achieve great benefits, this emperor is willing to leave a stench for 10,000 years!

"Qin Hui, what do you say?" Zhao Pudao: "What do you think of moving the capital to Hangzhou?" ”

"Your Majesty is here, and you can only move the capital to Hangzhou!" Qin Hui gritted his teeth and said.

Zhao Pu said: "For what? ”

Qin Hui said: "This is the only choice!" ”

"The only option!?" Zhao Pu said, "For what? ”

"All dynasties and dynasties, but all the Dingdu Jiankang has a Huai River barrier, and the north is fighting endlessly, so you can take the opportunity to peep into the Central Plains. At this moment, the Song army lost the Huai River defense line, as long as the Jin army sent troops, it could hit the city of Jiankang at any time, and there was no need to attack the city, just a few circles under the city, it was enough to make the people panic. And Xiangyang can't, hanging alone north of the Yangtze River, once the Jin army is heavily besieged and cut off from all four connections, it is enough to wipe out the whole army! Qin Hui said: "Xiangyang, too close to the Jin army, can be reached day and night, which is not conducive to defense; As the saying goes, guarding the river must guard the Huai, and now the Huai River is lost, Jiankang is already under the Jin army, and it cannot be defended; Only Hangzhou is suitable, there is no second choice! ”

Zhao Pu nodded, a little disappointed.

This is not a multiple-choice question, but a mandatory question, and I can't find a second suitable place except for Hangzhou.

Looking at the emperor's lost appearance, Qin Hui said unconsciously: "Your Majesty, with Hangzhou as the capital, you can peep into the Huai River and seize the Central Plains; You can also retreat and rule the river and recuperate! “

"Recuperate!" Zhao Pu sneered, "If you're not afraid of slowness, you're afraid of standing, standing down, deflated, everything is over." Cultivating life and recuperation is equivalent to lying down, which is certainly conducive to restoring the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty, but after a long time of cultivation, the people have forgotten their hatred, the army has forgotten their conquest, the king has forgotten their shame, and the scholars are addicted to wine and live a good life, who will go on a northern expedition. If you don't have the capital of Hangzhou, once you settle in Hangzhou, you will be able to recuperate for ten years, and your blood will be eliminated, and there will be no possibility of victory in the Northern Expedition!
