Fan Li is so bold!

Dare to instigate Qingji to move the capital to Wancheng?

What is Wancheng?

That was Fan Li's hometown.

If Wu moved its capital to Wancheng, wouldn't Fan Li be honored?

It's just that Sun Wu and others have to admit it.

At this time, it was not impossible for Wu to choose to move the capital.

"Hong'er, Fan'er, what do you think?"

Qingji did not express his opinion, but set his eyes on his other two sons.

Wu Hong first pondered for a moment and then said: "Father, the son thinks that it is not appropriate to move the capital. ”

"My Wu country has set the capital of Jinling, but for more than ten years, all the projects are complete."

"And Jinling has a royal spirit, the dragon is entrenched, and the shape is also a place of beauty."

"As Brother Xi Shicai said, the king is the foundation of the country and cannot be moved."

"The foundation of my Wu country is in Wu County, if the capital is moved to the land of the old Chu, of course, you can conquer the people of the old Chu, coordinate all parties, and wait for the opportunity to go north to fight for hegemony."

"However, if the people of Chu do not cooperate, or there may be civil strife, I am afraid that my father will be in a dilemma at that time......"

Wu Hong's concern is not unreasonable.

In ancient times, kings moved their capitals to strengthen their military defenses, and others because they were in a hurry to choose their capitals.

When the country stabilizes, it is necessary to find a place with good topography in all aspects to be the national capital.

As long as you choose, you will not easily move the capital.

Unless it is forced, because moving the capital is a great risk and pressure.

The cost is not low!

For any dynasty, moving the capital is a matter of great importance.

In all dynasties, there were at most only one or two places that were once set as capitals or capitals.

However, the Shang Dynasty can be said to have moved the capital like eating, and the Shang Dynasty has moved the capital more than a dozen times in history.

The Shang Dynasty people always seemed to be busy moving, and each time they moved the capital, they often only moved more than ten years apart.

Under these circumstances, how should the Shang Dynasty develop its internal affairs and economy?

In fact, if it weren't for the king of Zhou, the state of the Shang Dynasty would have lasted for hundreds of years.

The Shang Dynasty moved its capital frequently, but it was able to ensure political stability......

The biggest problem in moving the capital is the relocation of a country's political and military centers.

After more than ten years of unremitting efforts from top to bottom of the Wu State, Jinling has become the premier military, political, economic, and even cultural center of the Wu State.

Because the largest school in Wu and the largest school in the world, Jixia School Palace, is located on the side of Jinling.

"Father, son-in-law thinks that moving the capital is understandable."

Wu Fanwan smiled and said: "If my father wants to move the capital, my son will push Ying." ”

"Yingdu has become a beautiful place in the whole country of Wu."

"Yingdi controls Bashu in the west, connects Xianghan in the north, leads the rivers and lakes, and refers to Wuyue, which is also the key point for the Central Plains to communicate with Lingnan!"

"If the capital is set in Ying, Wu Guojin can plot against the Central Plains, and retreat can suppress the rebellion of the Quartet."

“……”

Why does Wu Fan have such an opinion?

Because Gongzi Fan's biological mother is Meng Huan.

Meng Huan was originally the princess of the Qin State and the wife of the Chu State, and won the hearts of the Chu people.

As a result, above the court of the Wu State, the ministers from the Chu State would generally support Gongzi Fan to become the prince.

Once Qingji chooses to settle in Ying, the most unique is Gongzi Fan.

Because Qingji will inevitably take into account the factors of the Chu people when choosing an heir.

In fact, it is exactly what it is.

Wu has become a multi-ethnic country, and Qingji, as the king of a country, must take care of the interests of all parties as much as possible.

Otherwise, not to mention whether the localities will be dissatisfied and then lead to rebellion, and rejoice in their own arbitrariness, they will not be able to convince the people......

Of course, in order to celebrate the prestige of today, life and death are not a problem at all.

"Sun Wu, Wu Yuan, Yang Hu, Bo Kuo, do you have any opinions?"

Qingji asked the other four ministers who had not yet expressed their opinions.

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu glanced at each other, and there was deep meaning in their eyes.

Sun Wu said slowly: "Great King, the minister thinks that whether to move the capital or not, in fact, the time is not yet ripe. ”

"The king may set up a general in Zhenxi in Wancheng or Yingdu, increase the rank of governor, and send heavy troops to control the remnants of the old Chu."

Wu Zixu and Bo Yan followed: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

When it was Yang Hu's turn, Yang Hu just smiled wryly and said, "The king, the minister also seconded it!" ”

Relying on his political achievements in Wu in the past few years, Yang Hu has been trusted by Qingji.

However, on the issue of moving the capital, where did Yang Hu dare to express his opinions casually?

"The matter of moving the capital will be discussed later."

The stakes are very high, and it is impossible for Qingji to make a choice at once.

……

Back in Jinling's Qingji, as always, a large court meeting was held, and all ministers with an official rank of more than 600 stone in the court must participate.

It's just that this time the court meeting is destined not to be peaceful.

Because there are too many things waiting for Qingji to solve, there are enough for Wu Guojun's ministers to have a headache.

First of all, Qingji asked two chamberlains to bring a screen with a sheepskin map hanging on it, pointing to the vast territory of Wu now.

Qingji said loudly: "The second and third sons, and now the Chu State and the Yun State have been annexed by my Great Wu. ”

"Yundi, Hanzhong County, the land of Chu, half of Wuling County, half of it is assigned to Nanjun and Nanyang County."

"At the same time, from the four counties of Nanjun, Nanyang County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County, a Hengshan County is divided......"

On the question of how to divide the counties of Wu State, Qingji was carefully considered.

It turns out that the hinterland of Chu is in the area of Nanjun and Nanyang County, which is the Nanyang Basin and the Jianghan Plain, which is fertile and belongs to the land of anointment.

Naturally, Qingji should be divided to maintain a balanced development of each county.

In this way, it can ensure that the status of Kure County as the first economic county of Kure is not lost.

In the final analysis, the foundation of the Wu State, the most important place is still Wu County.

Qingji must take care of the emotions of the old Wu people, and it is impossible to really be desperate and hurt their interests.

This time, the state of Wu destroyed the state of Chu and the state of Yun in one go, and added three counties.

They are Hanzhong County, Wuling County and Hengshan County.

At the beginning, Qingji originally planned to merge the land of Shangyu into Nanyang County.

It's just that after dividing the entire Nanyang Basin, Qingji also considered that Nanyang County was rich in land and had a large population, which would threaten the status of Wu County as the "first county of Wu Kingdom".

Therefore, the land of Shangyu was divided into Hanzhong County, and by the way, it also occupied part of the Jianghan Plain......

In this matter, Qingji admits that he is selfish.

Just, understandably!

At this time, Wu already had nineteen counties, namely: Wu County, Huiji County, Jiujiang County, Surabaya County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, Guilin County, Nan County, Nanyang County, Yuzhang County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, Jiaozhi County, Hanzhong County, Hengshan County, and Wuling County.
