Qingji also had to admit that Fan Li advised him to move the capital to Wandi, probably with some selfish intentions.

After all, Fan Li was born in Wandi and is a native there......

Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

Are you sure?

I saw Wu Zixu sneering at each other: "Young uncle, it's not me saying you, the capital of the Xia Dynasty is Dengdi, not Wandi." If Deng Di has a king's spirit, what is Wandi? ”

"Besides, for so many years in the Xia Dynasty, there were too many capitals to migrate, and the list was too manufold. Don't say it's Wandi, I'm afraid that even Deng Di may not have 'royal spirit'! ”

“……”

Fan Li was speechless.

However, for a while, Fan Li was really hard to argue.

This part of Nanyang covers a large area, which is basically the place where the summer people lived.

As Wu Zixu said, the Xia Dynasty was still established in the form of migration, that is, the establishment of a transitional period.

Therefore, the Xia Dynasty did not have a fixed capital from beginning to end.

First of all, Yangcheng, the first capital of the Xia Dynasty, was mainly a dynastic system established in the era of Dayu's water control, and the capital was established later.

Secondly, the establishment of the second capital of the Xia Dynasty, that is, the establishment of the third dynasty of the Xia Dynasty, may be in the establishment of the second capital of the Xia Dynasty.

Finally, the third capital of the Xia Dynasty, Dengdi.

The Xia Dynasty had set up capitals in Deng on several occasions so that they could flourish their own state and tribes.

As for whether Wandi and Deng Di were the same back then, it's hard to say.

As far as Qingji knows, the current Wandi is hundreds of miles away from Dengdi, and it really has nothing to do with the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

Fan Li insisted on linking his hometown Wandi with his family Deng Di, and the two were confused together, and Qingji couldn't refute it.

After all, there are not many historical materials handed down from ancient times, and it is possible that Wandi is the national capital "Deng Lin" established by the Xia Dynasty.

The geographical location is similar, but I can't really be sure where it is.

"King, please Mingjian!"

Fan Li Zhengse said: "With the minister's degree, Wandi and its nearby cities can be the new capital of my Wu country." ”

"If the king has the ambition to go north to compete for the deer and dominate the world, he should move the capital to Yuwan to wait for the times to change!"

Regarding Fan Li's proposition, Qingji squinted his eyes and was noncommittal.

In fact, Fan Li's idea is good.

After all, the capital of a country is equivalent to a political center and a military center.

Nanyang is not only the birthplace of the Xia Dynasty, the foundation of Chinese civilization, but also the birthplace of Chu and Han culture.

In addition, Nanyang has fertile land and a relatively dense population, with a well-developed copper casting industry, silk and other handicrafts and commerce.

Finally, Nanyang has a superior position, surrounded by three mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, offensive and retreating, which is really rare.

As an important military town or a commercial capital, Nanyang East is qualified and has such a heritage.

It's just that using Nanyang as the capital of Wu State, Qingji is still a little hesitant.

Not to mention anything else, if you send troops from Nanyang, you will soon be able to reach the Central Plains.

Sending troops from Jinling, the current capital of Wu State, is otherwise.

Jinling is too far away from the Central Plains, especially Luoyang, which is located in the middle of the world, and it is beyond the reach of the whip.

In the case of an expedition, there may also be a situation of unadaptation.

And there will be more grain consumed in it, which is really not cost-effective!

Just like Fan Li said, if Qingji really has the heart to compete with the Jin State and compete in the Central Plains, it is best to move the capital to Wandi.

In this way, Wu Guo can really gain a foothold in the Central Plains and be invincible.

In all dynasties, the national capital was the political and military center, and the economic center was relatively secondary.

For example, in the state of Wu, the main army will be stationed near Jinling City in case of emergency.

Qingji can naturally take a step back and use Nanyang as a military town in Wu State.

But who will lead the troops?

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are just like the crisis of Wu monarchs and ministers not long ago.

If you are a little careless, the general who leads the troops will rebel, and Qingji will definitely lose his wife and his soldiers.

Qingji is a suspicious person by nature, and in fact, he doesn't want the general to lead troops all year round.

Because once the general rebels, the consequences are very serious.

"The king, the minister thinks that the king should think twice."

Wu Zixu lowered his head and said: "As the national capital, there are five conditions that must be met. ”

"First, the ground should be flat and open."

"Second, there should be plenty of water."

"Third, the transportation should be convenient."

"Fourth, it should be surrounded by mountains and rivers to facilitate defense."

"Fifth, the economy should be developed."

"As the center of the country, the capital has a huge demand for various supplies, and it needs a steady supply of materials,"

Qingji bowed his head slightly and agreed.

To find a place to be the capital, especially the capital of a large country, the conditions are very harsh.

The most important thing is that the terrain is flat, and it must be surrounded by mountains and rivers, which can resist the enemy's attack.

Like Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Kaifeng is flat, a plain with a radius of several hundred miles, invaded by the north, and crossing the Yellow River is directly exposed Kaifeng.

Historically, the Jin army arrived at Kaifeng without much difficulty, and the Northern Song Dynasty had almost no power to resist.

If Kaifeng is chosen as the national capital, the military is not strong enough to resist the enemy outside the country, it is purely death.

Wu Zixu looked at Fan Li meaningfully and asked, "Young uncle, I don't know what you think Wandi has the above conditions?" ”

“……”

Fan Li was speechless for a while, choked by Wu Zixu's words.

Wandi (Nanyang) is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is a basin, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is good everywhere, but there is a big flaw -

Cao Yun!

The transportation is not convenient enough, and it can be developed.

But this "luck" is fatal.

As the capital of the state of Wu, there must be at least a hundred thousand people, plus soldiers and horses, it may exceed two hundred thousand.

It is true that Wandi has mountains and water, but it is a basin, and its water source may be barely self-sufficient, but it cannot feed so many people.

The water traffic is very inconvenient!

The fear is that the enemy soldiers are coming to the city, and those trapped in the city will starve to death......

Although Wu Guo could dig several canals for irrigating farmland, it was not so easy to dig.

It takes time and effort not to mention, and it doesn't always pay off.

If it can't support a population of hundreds of thousands, Nanyang is not qualified as the capital of Wu.

"It is not advisable to use Wandi as the capital."

Qingji finally shook his head and said: "At this stage, the widow has no intention of competing with the Jin State for hegemony and competing for the Central Plains. ”

"The land of Wan and Shen can be merged into one Wan city, and when the widow bans Jing in the future, he can set up a Nanyang County."

"Wandi cannot be the capital of my Wu country, it is more appropriate as a military town."

"The king is wise!"

Wu Zixu and Fan Li hurriedly agreed.

If Qingji insists on moving the capital to Wandi, it can also be.

But there is no need!

He now only thinks that Wu can develop peacefully for a few years, and then wait for the times to change.

If there is a chance, Qingji can go north to compete for hegemony.

If there is no opportunity, Qingji can develop the national strength of Wu with peace of mind, and dismember other vassal states by various means to make profits......
