Hangzhou is too far away from the north to the north, which is not conducive to controlling Youyun, Henan, Shandong, Hedong and other places. At this time, it is necessary to transfer the central institutions to the north and accelerate the reconstruction of the north. Otherwise, the speed of fast horse transmission is too slow, which is not conducive to message transmission, and it is easy to cause the division of feudal towns.

"Your Majesty, please return all Bianliang!" At this time, Wan Qiqi said.

"It's all Bianliang!?" Zhao Pu immediately felt a sense of thunder, "Everyone, do you want to return to Bianliang?" ”

"Your Majesty, Hangzhou is southerly, and it is acceptable to be the capital for the time being, but it is not a place to stay for a long time, please return to Bianliang! Living in the middle of the world and controlling the world, so as to ensure the peace of the Great Song Dynasty! A minister said, advocating that the capital should be returned to Bianliang.

"Your Majesty, the north has been in ruins after a long war. And the Bianliang local palace, is seriously damaged, at the moment is still Bianliang, need to build a large number of buildings, build the palace, this is not conducive to the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, please Your Majesty, temporarily slow down the relocation of the capital to Bianliang! ”

Another courtier objected.

"No, it's better to act late than to act early. Although our dynasty has recaptured the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the situation on the front line is still unstable. The Jin army is eyeing the border at any time and invading the Great Wall. At this time, the danger is extremely extreme, and His Majesty needs to return to Bianliang in order to calm the people's hearts and minds, which is conducive to consolidating the border defense. Second, Western Xia threatens the northwest, and our dynasty has to guard against it! ”

An official of the Ministry of War analyzed from a military point of view and from a strategic point of view.

"Bianliang, located on the edge of the Yellow River, is surrounded by few mountains and dangers, which are conducive to attack and not conducive to defense. If we are still in Bianliang, we will inevitably stage the shame of Jingkang again! Rather than all Bianliang. It's better to move the capital to Luoyang! Zhao Ding said.

"The time is not as good as the earth, and the location is not as good as the people! Only I have a strong army in hand and take the initiative to attack. Kill the enemy army outside the fortress, how can the barbarians be ruined! Shi Hao said.

As he spoke, the ministers quarreled over where the capital should be.

On the eve of the second north, the ministers wondered if they could win. If it is defeated, how to mitigate the loss.

And at this moment, the Song army won a big victory. A decisive victory was achieved, and within the Great Wall, most of the territory of the Song Dynasty. It's just that a new question has arisen, where to set the capital. Hangzhou at this time. The role of the temporary capital has also disappeared. It was inevitable to move the capital and strengthen the control of the north.

It's just that when the capital will be moved, where it will be, and there will be different quarrels.

Until the end of the early dynasty, there was no quarrel.

…………

After the early dynasty, Zhao Pu has been thinking about where to set the capital.

In the initial scenario, the best place to set the capital should be Youzhou.

Youzhou is the Beijing of later generations.

The establishment of Beijing as the capital is conducive to strengthening national defense. There is the color of the Son of Heaven guarding the country. Once something happens in Liaodong, Mongolia and other places, you can attack quickly. The autumn wind sweeps away the leaves and nips the danger in the bud. And the wind and frost in the north are also conducive to honing a strong will, otherwise in the warm wind of the south, you will not be able to endure hardship, and you will not be far from extinction.

In later generations, Japan's invasion of China and the independence of Outer Mongolia were due to the fact that the old Chiang set the capital of Nanjing, which caused the northern defense to be weak. Even if he lost the Northeast and Outer Mongolia, Lao Chiang could not feel a sense of crisis, so he gave Japan and the Soviet Union an opportunity to take advantage of it and cause a catastrophe.

It's just that, at this moment, you really can't set the capital of Youzhou.

Youzhou is too far north, which is not conducive to the control of Jiangnan, and it is easy to cause national division. In the Ming Dynasty, when the north was fighting with the Manchus and the peasant army, the south was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, without a sense of crisis, and as a result, the north was finished, and the south was also hanging; In the Qing Dynasty, a Wuchang uprising resulted in the independence of the south, the whole country fell apart, and the warlords continued to divide it.

The Song Dynasty was much more shrewd, with the capital of Bianliang, located in the middle, and controlled the south very well. Even after the Jingkang Revolution, he was able to quickly gain a foothold in the south and confront the Jin State, while the Ming Dynasty in later generations was much worse.

In addition, if it is the capital of Youzhou, food is also a problem.

In the later Ming and Qing dynasties, there was at least Cao Yun, which could transport grain through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. However, in this era, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was only transported to the Bianliang area, and there was no canal to the north. If it is a cloudy capital, it must be a shortage of food.

And the most important thing is that the sixteen states of Youyun, since Shi Jingjiao, have been isolated from the Han land for two hundred years and belong to the territory of the Liao State. The long-term isolation has led to a lack of identification with the central government among the local Han people.

During this attack on Youyun, it was met with strong resistance from the people in the Youyun area, and in some cities, there was even a massacre.

Although before the war, Zhao Pu repeatedly emphasized military discipline, but it was only for some time, and it was still difficult to avoid it, such as the massacre of the city.

War is evil, and when war starts, try to refrain and avoid immoral behavior as much as possible, but it still happens in the end. When attacking the city, the civilians defending the city are not much different from the soldiers, as long as they do not lay down their arms, they are all enemies, and they must be cut and killed.

And ordinary civilians naturally had to be pulled to defend the city, so they would inevitably become cannon fodder and fight fiercely with the Song army that invaded the city.

The people of the sixteen states of Youyun were very estranged from the Song Dynasty, and moved the capital to Youzhou, lacking the foundation of the group.

At this time, Zhao Pu somewhat understood why Zhu Yuanzhang did not move the capital to Beijing after destroying the Yuan Dynasty, just because there was a tragic massacre of the city when the capital was captured. And the people there have a very poor influence on Zhu Yuanzhang, where to gain a foothold, and lack a mass base.

Politically, it is not conducive to controlling the South; Economically, there is a shortage of finance and taxation, and there is a shortage of food; Strategically, if it is too far north, it will be attacked by the Jin army; At the grassroots level, there is a lack of mass foundation. Dingdu Youyun, it's really unreliable!

And the most unreliable thing is that none of the ministers will support the relocation of the capital to Youzhou!

If it is said that the capital is moved to Bianliang, some people support it and some people oppose it; The relocation of the capital to Youzhou did not have the support of a minister!

It's just that no matter how unreliable it is, moving the capital to Youzhou will benefit greatly in the long run.

moved the capital to Youzhou, politically strengthened national defense, and effectively cracked down on the northern nomads; Economically, the Northeast can be effectively developed.

In this day and age, land is the greatest resource. The lack of arable land in the Song Dynasty led to constant rebellions among the displaced people. The large number of people and the lack of land and the severe population pressure were one of the reasons for the demise of many dynasties. The hundreds of millions of arable land and fertile black soil in Northeast China can effectively alleviate population pressure.

After all, compared with the development of the Americas, Australia and other regions, the development of Northeast China is less difficult and more affordable.

"Yue'er, where do you say the capital, the most appropriate?"

Looking at the map, Zhao Pu asked.

"The decline of Chang'an is not suitable for Dingdu, and there are only three places suitable for Dingdu, Yingtianfu, Luoyang, and Bianliang!" Wang Wuyue said, "I think Luoyang is the most suitable. Luoyang has the danger of mountains and rivers, and it is located in the Central Plains, so it can effectively control the north and south! ”

"Luoyang?" Zhao Pu shook his head and asked, "How about Dingdu Youzhou?" ”

"What is the capital of Youzhou?"

Wang Wuyue was immediately stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, how can you have such an idea!" ”

It's hard to understand why the emperor has such a strange idea!

"Dingdu Youzhou, isn't it okay?" Zhao Pu said, and began to say the advantages and significance of Dingdu Youzhou.

It's just that Wang Wuyue still shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, the capital is Youzhou, no!" (To be continued......)
