Volume III Chapter 630
Hidden Dragon Mountain is located in the west of Wancheng, that is where the ancestral temple of Jin Guo is located, the founding ancestors of Jin Guo and the monuments of the kings of the past generations are in Zanglong Mountain, and now Hidden Dragon Mountain has collapsed, this is not only a question of how much loss, but a great bad omen!
The first to come back to his senses was the great uncle Liu Tang, the old man stood up like a spring, but as soon as he stood up, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes were dark, and he fell straight back.
Liu Tang was fainted on the spot, and the civil and military ministers on the left and right gathered around him, held up the unconscious Liu Tang, rubbed his chest, beat his back, and called out repeatedly: "Uncle Dazong! Wake up, wake up!"
After the old man came to his senses, his mouth opened, and he couldn't help crying loudly, and the other ministers were not much better, one by one, like frosted eggplants, and their heads were all pulled down.
The Hidden Dragon Mountain has collapsed, and the ancestral temple is gone, isn't this a sign of the death of the country?
At the same time, rumors spread in Jinguo, some people said that Zanglong Mountain was collapsed by thunder, and some people said that it was collapsed by heavy rain in the past few days, anyway, no matter what the reason for the collapse, people agreed that the national fortune of Jinguo seemed to be coming to an end.
One wave of rumors has not yet dispersed, and another wave of rumors has risen, and this rumor is about the dream that Lin Haotian had.
Linking Lin Haotian's dream with the sudden collapse of Hidden Dragon Mountain, it is natural to think that the national vein of the Jin Kingdom is changing, and Wancheng is no longer where the national vein is. And the national vein has also shifted to the south.
The people believed that the national lineage of the Jin State was moving south, and even the ministers of the court, including the great uncle Liu Tang, thought so, and the matter of moving the capital, which would not have been mentioned to the court at all, became necessary at this time.
And all that. It was all Zhang Hui's idea for Lin Haotian.
If Wancheng is the symbol of the Jin country, then the Hidden Dragon Mountain is undoubtedly the symbol of the Wancheng City, as long as the Hidden Dragon Mountain is destroyed, people will believe that the national line of the Jin Kingdom is no longer in Wancheng.
But how could a huge Hidden Dragon Mountain be destroyed in such a way as to be inexplicably destroyed? Zhang Hui thought of blowing up the entire mountain with gunpowder.
There was no gunpowder in the Jin Kingdom, but there was no Muguo State, and Lin Haotian appointed Zhang Hui as a secret envoy. The envoy to the country of wood is to get gunpowder.
When Zhang Hui returned from Tia, he not only brought back gunpowder. He also brought back a group of Muguo people who knew how to use gunpowder, and it was under the command of these Mumen that Zhang Hui sent people to secretly arrange explosives in Zanglong Mountain, taking advantage of the heavy rain for several days. Blow up Hidden Dragon Mountain in one fell swoop.
In fact. Whether the mountain collapsed naturally or was blown up by explosives, if you put it now, it is easy to judge, but at that time, people did not have the concept of explosives in their minds, and they had never even heard of the name explosives, so how could they associate the collapse of Zanglong Mountain with artificiality.
In short, Hidden Dragon Mountain is collapsing. The rumors of the transfer of the Jin country's lineage were also secretly spread by Lin Haotian, and the current Jin country has made people panic. Without anyone instigating it, the people have already begun to think that now the Jin State should immediately move its capital and conform to the national fortunes.
It is believed that the national line is moving southward, which has created great convenience for Lin Haotian to move the capital to Jiankang. As the rumors became more and more popular, the voices from the people moved the capital became higher and higher, and on this day, Lin Haotian finally publicly proposed the move of the capital in the court, and the location of the capital was set in Jiankang.
At this time, there was no longer a lot of opposition in the General's Mansion to move the capital, but there were still people with different opinions.
Zhang Xin looked left and right, stepped out of the ranks, and said to Lin Haotian: "My lord, my country has just annexed Chiguo, and now we will move the capital to Chidi, right...... It's too hasty, what's more, Jiankang was originally the capital of the Red Kingdom, and it was an ominous place, so I hope you will think twice. β
Some other ministers supported Zhang Xin's views and said: "What Lord Zhang said is extremely true, moving the capital is not trivial, and the prosperity of the national fortune is important, you must be cautious!"
As soon as they finished speaking, Liang Yun, a military advisor, stepped forward and said: "The Red Country died in Jiankang, it can be said that Jiankang is the death place of the Red Kingdom, but for our country, Jiankang is precisely the blessed land of our country, if we say that Jiankang is an ominous place, isn't it a comparison between our country and the dead Red Kingdom?"
Hearing this, the ministers who spoke were so frightened that they shrank their necks and silently retreated to their positions, Zhang Xin's face changed slightly, he glanced at Liang Yun with squinted eyes, and hated in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and said: "The military advisor is high, and the subordinate has been taught." β
"Lord Xiao is polite, I am also on the matter, if there is any gaffe, please ask Lord Xiao to be surprised. β
"Hehe!" Zhang Xin chuckled and said: "The matter of moving the capital is very important, and this matter is still decided by our Jinren!" The implication is that Liang Yun is a special person, an outsider, although he is now a military advisor, but he is not qualified to intervene in such a big matter as moving the capital.
He said this to Liang Yun, but he included all the ministers who were not from Jin, and it also caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers from non-Jinren background.
Lin Haotian sighed secretly, this Zhang Xin really has nothing to do, and the special meeting has extraneous branches, and he originally discussed the matter of moving the capital, but he had to have something to do with the Jin people and not the Jin people.
He said in a deep voice: "All the ministers present are the ministers of my Jin country, and they are all the pillars of my Jin country, and they are all qualified to participate in the discussion of the relocation of the capital.
Zhang Xin's body was shocked, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said urgently: "It's the official's mistake, it's the official's gaffe." β
Lin Haotian waved his hand, motioned for him to get up and retreat, then looked around at everyone present and asked, "Let's talk about it, is it good or bad to move the capital to Jiankang." β
"My lord, Jiankang is thousands of miles away from Wancheng, the road is far away, once the capital is moved, it is difficult to safely transport the materials from Wancheng to Jiankang!"
"The relocation of the people is also a problem! Millions of people inside and outside Wancheng have all moved to Jiankang, how should they be resettled?"
"Also, my lord, Jiankang is near the water, the climate is warm and humid, I am just afraid of ...... I'm afraid that my Jin people will be very uncomfortable in the past!"
Hearing the doubts raised by everyone, Lin Haotian answered them one by one with a smile. He said: "Our million-strong army can reach Chidi, and our Dajin naval fleet can be transported into Jiankang by land, so why is it difficult to transport some supplies? It is indeed not easy for the Jin people to adapt to the climate of Jiankang, so the people of Wancheng should not move to Jiankang, and stay in Wancheng, and our country only needs to move the imperial court to Jiankang. β
The ministers looked at each other, and it sounded as if the adults had been prepared for the relocation of the capital.
Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and asked, "What about the king, does the king agree?"
"Of course!" is such an important weight as Zhao Yu. How could Lin Haotian rest assured that he would stay in Wancheng? he had to be placed by his side, so that he could take care of it nearby, so that he would feel at ease.
"Migration. Your lordship should also consult the king. Xiao Xuan said with a frown.
Lin Haotian looked up and laughed and said, "My opinion is the king's opinion, my decision." It will inevitably be the king's decision. Lord Xiao has lived in Chidi for too long, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the imperial court!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers present couldn't help but laugh.
said that it was the king, but it was just a puppet in the palm of the adult's hand, and how dare the king not listen to what the adult said?
Xiao Xuan looked at the smiling ministers around him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He is not fake, but the same. He is the king's people, he is loyal to the Jin country and Lin Haotian. But the ultimate object of his allegiance is still the king, which is what makes Xiao Xuan different from other Jin Chen.
Xiao Xuan didn't continue to say anything, he was upright, but he was not a dull person, he knew very well in his heart that what he said would only cause disgust to adults but would not cause death, and what he said would make himself and even the whole family fall to the ground immediately.
Seeing that Xiao Xuan and Zhang Xin, who had always been the most persistent in opposing the relocation of the capital, no longer spoke, Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, he took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "If you all have no objections, then the matter of moving the capital to Jiankang will be decided." I know that many of the people in the rank have placed their family business in Wancheng, and once the capital is moved, the loss will be not small, and I will try my best to make up for this. β
"Thank you, sir!" everyone knelt and kowtowed.
Lin Haotian stood up and said, "After you go back, start preparing as soon as possible, and the matter of moving the capital to Jiankang must start as soon as possible." β
"Yes, sir!"
After the court discussion, Lin Haotian finally got his wish and gave the matter of moving the capital to Jiankang, and he also sighed a long sigh in his heart, in the future, he lived in Jiankang, and then fought in the south, it would become much easier, and there would be no need to travel thousands of miles.
After the Jin Dynasty decided to move the capital, Lin Haotian immediately set off and went to the palace to meet the king Zhao Yu.
He didn't go to ask Zhao Yu's opinion, but to inform Zhao Yu and let him be mentally prepared in advance, if he didn't live in Wancheng in the future, he would change to Jiankang.
Suddenly hearing that Jin Guo was going to move the capital, Zhao Yu felt very different, he asked Lin Haotian: "Aiqing, this king lives very well in Wancheng, why did he suddenly move the capital to Jiankang?"
Lin Haotian almost laughed out loud on the spot, whether Jin Guo moved the capital or not had nothing to do with whether you were used to living in Wancheng or not, Zhao Yu really took himself seriously.
Thinking so in his heart, of course Lin Haotian would not say this, he forced a smile and said: "Jiankang has a better climate than Wancheng, and living there is definitely much more comfortable than living in Wancheng, so the king should hurry up and get ready!"
Zhao Yu sighed lightly, touched the table in front of him, and said with emotion: "Although Wancheng is a cold place, this king has lived here for several years, and he has some feelings, and now he wants to move the capital, and he is really reluctant!"
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yu is still very happy about moving the capital to Jiankang, after all, no matter what, Jiankang is much more developed than Wancheng.
The relocation of the capital of the Jin State began to be in full swing, but fortunately, now Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu are both in Jiankang, so they can deal with the affairs of Jiankang in a timely manner, and make all preparations for the imperial court that is about to be relocated.
Since the imperial court was going to move to Jiankang, this required Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu to build a royal palace in Jiankang City in the shortest possible time.
In the past, the Red King Palace must have been left for the royal family to live in, and Lin Haotian's General Mansion could only be built separately, but now the treasury of the Jin Kingdom is very rich, even if it is not difficult to build another palace with the same scale as the Red King Palace, but time is a little tight.
In order to build the General's Mansion, a large number of construction projects were carried out in Jiankang City. There are thousands of households of the Red people who have been relocated by the order alone, which shows the scale of their general's mansion.
A general's mansion that is almost exactly the same size as the Red King's Palace, under the supervision of Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian in turn. It took just over four months to complete.
The interior is also very luxuriously decorated, not only are there all kinds of rare treasures, but even the walls, pillars, railings, etc. are inlaid with gold and silver, and even the rockeries used for decoration in the gardens are used to carry the real mountains as much as possible.
When the Jin Kingdom moved its capital to Jiankang, the Red people were both expectant and vaguely frightened, and they did not know what kind of rule the Jin Imperial Court would exercise over the Red Land after entering the Red Land. Is it loose Huairou or cold iron blood.
But most of the Chi people are still optimistic, since the Jin country must be in Jiankang, it means that they attach great importance to Chidi. If you want to manage Chidi well, it is unlikely that the bloody case not long ago will be repeated.
Two and a half months later, a large number of materials from Wancheng had been transported to Jiankang first, at this time. Lin Haotian finally ordered. Move south.
The large-scale Jin imperial court and the central army corps of the Jin State with a peak military strength left Wancheng, the capital of Jin, which had a history of more than 1,000 years, and went south in a mighty way, heading straight to Jiankang, the new capital of Jin.
When the imperial court left Wancheng, almost all the people of Wancheng went out of the city to see each other, and the scene could be described as a sea of people, and there was no edge at a glance.
When Lin Haotian drove out of the south city gate, the people who had already gathered outside the city knelt on the ground one after another. Many people burst into tears on the spot, and the sadness soon spread to many more.
All of a sudden. Crying and mourning shook the sky.
In such a scene, Lin Haotian couldn't sit still in the carriage, knowing that this was a farewell to the capital, and those who didn't know could be considered to be his own funeral!
He greeted Shao Lin outside the car and asked the carriage to stop, and then, he walked out of the car, raised his eyes and looked around, well, he didn't see anything else except people.
"Don't cry anymore, everyone!" Lin Haotian took a deep breath, raised his voice, and said in a loud voice: "The relocation is a happy event, everyone is crying and crying like this, doesn't it turn the happy event into a funeral? Hurry up and get up!"
"General, we are reluctant to let the adults go......" A nearby citizen shouted at Lin Haotian in a trembling voice, and kowtowed forward as he spoke.
Although Lin Haotian is belligerent, although he has used troops for many years, so that the Jin people have been killed and injured countless times, and there is even a panic about the gap between the young and strong population, but in the same way, he also brought no glory and strength to the weak Jin country at the beginning, and the people still love and respect Lin Haotian as the commander in their hearts.
Listening to the cries of the people, the hard-hearted Lin Haotian also felt sad. He jumped down from the carriage, separated the many guards around him, walked directly to the people, stretched out his hand, first pulled up the people closest to him, and then waved to the people around him: "Get up, get up, everyone get up quickly, even if the capital is moved to Jiankang, Ben Shuai will often go back to Wancheng to visit your fathers and fellow villagers." β
After a pause, he sighed softly and muttered: "What virtue and ability does this handsome man have, can he bother so many villagers and elders to go out of the city to send ......" As he spoke, he took half a step back and bowed deeply to the people in front of him.
"Plop!"
The people who had just been pulled up by him fell to their knees again, and those who had not stood up in the first place would not stand up, and people returned the salute with kowtows, and the crying at the scene was not weakened, but even higher, and even worse, they were directly crying and fainting on the spot.
"Adults, let's hurry back to the car! If you drag it out like this, you won't have a head!" Zhang Xin leaned over to Lin Haotian and persuaded in a low voice.
Being sent off by the people of Wancheng, Lin Haotian was really reluctant to leave, but the move of the capital was imperative, and now he couldn't help but regret it.
He turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, turned around, jumped into the carriage, and sat down in the carriage.
"My lordβ" Listening to the calls of the people outside the car, Lin Haotian closed his eyes expressionlessly.
If he really lays down a vast country in the future, he is still willing to return to Wancheng and spend the rest of his life here. He has no roots in this world, but Wancheng is where he started, and he thinks that Wancheng should be regarded as his roots.
Fallen leaves, after all, have to return to the roots.
Moving the capital is not a march to war, dragging families with mouths, and there are many sundries, and its speed is much slower than that of a simple army. From Wancheng to Jiankang, if it is an army march, it will be enough to arrive in a month and a half, but this time the capital was moved, but it took more than three months.
On March 20, the spring equinox, the Jin Imperial Court officially entered Jiankang.
On this day, the liveliness of Jiankang can be described as unprecedented, outside the city, in the streets and alleys, there are people everywhere, the people of Chidi do not want to miss this once-in-a-century event, they have rushed to Jiankang to see the liveliness, even many gold people, wooden people have come to Jiankang all the way.
Along the way, Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu had already made arrangements, and when the team of the Jin Imperial Court had just entered the Jiankang City Gate, the petals in the sky poured down from above the city wall.
The red flower rain is flying all over the sky, and the red tassels above the heads of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom form a red ocean, and the beauty of the scenery is majestic, making people feel as if they are in a dream.
"Jin, Jin, Dajin, Dajin-" This situation also infected the Jin army who had traveled a long distance, and the soldiers shouted in unison, chanting the name of the Jin country, and the shouts were bursting out, one round stronger than the other.
The passion of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom soon made the surrounding onlookers excited, and even the red people, many of them followed and chanted the name of the Jin Kingdom.
The deafening shouts at the scene made Shang Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu, who had worked hard for months to prepare for the relocation of the capital, finally breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts at the mention of their throats also fell halfway.
Such a lively welcome scene should be regarded as a great success!(To be continued......)
