Chapter 967: Moving the Capital

In fact, the issue of Yingchuan County, like the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi north of Luoyang, is no longer just a simple military issue, but a more complex political issue.

Or to be more precise, the family problem.

Zhuge Liang also did not let Zhang Xi take advantage of the situation to attack Yingchuan.

In these places, the big families will always be a topic that can't be avoided, even if they are forcibly recovered by force, if they can't settle these big families, they won't be able to recuperate with peace of mind.

Zhuge Liang would rather march slower and solve the problems of the family first.

For this reason, after Zhuge Liang occupied Luoyang and joined the armies of Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and others, his first order was to transfer Chen Yi and Fei Yi from Chang'an, Jiang Wan, Xi Hong and others from Nanyang to Luoyang to help him deal with government affairs.

These people, all of whom are children of the big family, have enough understanding of the big family, and can help him better deal with the problems of the big family.

As for local defense, Zhuge Liang was also a little uneasy, on the one hand, he arranged for Huang Quan to lead the naval army to enter Mengjindu to prevent the Wei army on the other side of the Yellow River from launching a counteroffensive, and on the other hand, he ordered Wei Yantun troops to be in Gongxian to contain Sima Yi in Hujiaoguan.

At the same time, Zhang Yi was transferred from Chang'an, Xiang Pet, and Hu Fensan to Luoyang to listen to the battle.

In this way, Zhuge Liang was still a little uneasy, and he wanted to transfer Guo Youzhi, Qian Zhou, and Dong Yun from Chengdu to Luoyang to handle government affairs.

Let Pang Tong persuade him.

You can pull it down, how long does it take to get from Chengdu to Luoyang?

Moreover, let's not talk about the first two, Dong Yun is at home at the funeral, and his official positions have gone, and now you suddenly let people come to Luoyang to listen to it. Do you want people to be called "unfilial", or "disloyal"?!

Besides, aren't you still in Luoyang, with your own help, can't you still stand up to those three?!

As soon as Zhuge Liang heard Pang Tong's words, he immediately squinted at Pang Tong's eyes. Are you in Luoyang?!

You shouldn't be in Luoyang at this time, you should go back to Chengdu.

Pang Tong wondered, why should I go back to Chengdu?!

Zhuge Liang didn't speak, but just handed Pang Tong a soothing piece for Pang Tong to see for himself.

And after Pang Tong watched this sparse performance, he didn't speak for a long time.

This is a piece that requires Pang Tong to carefully consider the pros and cons. Because the sparse music was written by Zhuge Liang and addressed to Liu Chan, the Son of Heaven.

There is only one thing in the content of the sparse music - please be the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty and drive Chang'an.

Yes, Zhuge Liang is going to move the capital, from Chengdu to Chang'an.

This is not a trivial matter, if Zhuge Liang plays it directly, I am afraid that Yizhou will fry the pot directly!!

When Shu Han came to the end of the road, the local families in Yizhou would of course dislike that the Shu Han regime belonged to a foreign regime, and they came to Yizhou to compete with the local families in Yizhou for living space.

However, today's Shu Han can no longer be called Shu Han, after the defeat of Luoyang, the Han really has the possibility of three Xing, then for the Yizhou family, Chengdu is the capital of the Han Dynasty, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

The interests involved in this are bigger.

Although these Yizhou families also know that Chengdu is located in the southwest and is certainly not the best choice to become the capital of a country, in the face of interests, the Yizhou families must also insist that Chengdu has a genius.

Not to mention anything else, when the first emperor set the capital in Chengdu, and after laying down Chang'an, he did not move the capital, are you, the son, about to overturn the decision of the first emperor so soon? !

To put it mildly, this is unfilial piety, and to say big, this is a big event that can cause turmoil in Yizhou.

Now Pang Tong understands why Zhuge Liang thinks that he should go back to Chengdu, if he doesn't go back to Chengdu and replace Zhuge Liang, even Fazheng will not stand on Zhuge Liang's side, and he will definitely firmly oppose the relocation of the capital.

However, with such a shrewd figure as Yifa Zheng, or the shrewdness of the representatives of the Yizhou family in the court, can these people not know that Chengdu is actually not suitable as the capital of the Han Dynasty? !

They know but they just have to object. Unless they can give the Yizhou family a satisfactory exchange of benefits, they will not easily allow the Son of Heaven to leave Chengdu.

And this is also Zhuge Liang's biggest headache now.

The reason why Zhuge Liang didn't go back to Chengdu in person and preside over the relocation of the capital was actually because Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out how big the appetite of this group of Yizhou families was.

Let Pang Tong go back and play on his behalf, then there is at least some room for turning around in this matter, after all, he did not come forward in the end, and this kind of thing of moving the capital is not something that can be done in a day or two. In doing so, you can at least test the attitude of the Yizhou family first, and then adjust the strategy of moving the capital according to the attitude of these families.

But. Pang Tong still felt that Zhuge Liang was a little too hasty.

In fact, Pang Tong did not object to moving the capital, and he also believed that it was not a good choice for the Han Dynasty to place the capital in Chengdu in the southwest.

The communication efficiency of this month is too low, the farther away from the capital, the weaker the imperial court's control over the local area, if the capital of the Han Dynasty is in Chengdu, then the Qingxu Erzhou by the East China Sea, Hebei, and even Jiangdong are too far away.

However, these places are the places with the most rapid development and considerable population density in Dahan today.

If the imperial court does not have sufficient control over these places, it will inevitably lead to local dominance, and if there is a rebellion in the event of a rebellion ignoring the policies of the central court, the cost of counterinsurgency will increase indefinitely.

Therefore, Pang Tong was in favor of moving the capital.

But in Pang Tong's view, moving the capital to Chang'an is not a good choice.

After four hundred years of development in the Han Dynasty, the population distribution and land resources of the world have a clear tendency to expand to the southeast.

Yes, Pang Tong hopes that even if the capital is moved, it should be moved to Luoyang, not Chang'an.

Luoyang is located in the heart of the world, whether it is connecting the north and south or connecting the east and west, its geographical location is very superior.

And in terms of the degree of development, the development momentum of the Heluo Plain has far exceeded the Guanzhong Plain, and during the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the family basically developed around the Heluo Plain, whether it was Guanzhong, Jingxiang, the Central Plains, Hebei and other places, the family family spread out around the Heluo area.

Luoyang, the capital of Dingdu, can not only better control local rights, but also better control the development and growth of the family, so that there will not be a situation where the family is big and the court knows nothing.

Therefore, Pang Tong believes that Luoyang should be the most suitable capital of the Han Dynasty.

This, in fact, Zhuge Liang does not deny it, but the problem is that now the Han has just conquered Luoyang, not to mention important areas such as Hedong and Hanoi, even Yanzhou next door has not been taken.

At that time, not to mention Cao Wei, I'm afraid that even Dongwu will try his best to enter the Heluo region. This is the best chance to destroy the Han in World War I.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's idea was to let the Son of Heaven move to Chang'an first, wait until Heluo's side was completely pacified, capture the Tiger Prison Pass, and then let the Son of Heaven set the capital Luoyang after the troops left Yanzhou.

After all, as the Son of Heaven, he can't stay in Chengdu all the time, which is not good for the prestige of the Son of Heaven in the army.

In this way, if the Northern Expedition is successful in the future, the people of the world will only think that it was him Zhuge Liang, or Zhang Xi and other generals who beat him down, wouldn't the Son of Heaven have no prestige at all? !

One more. If the Son of Heaven does not move to Chang'an, he will fight eastward in the future, and this route for sending troops and the supply line of grain and grass will be too long.

It's okay to say that the supply of grain and grass is good, after all, Jingzhou and Heluo have large plains, and they can also support the grain and grass needed for the Northern Expedition, but the transfer of troops is a problem.

The Northern Army of the Han Dynasty is the most elite army of the Han Dynasty today, and it is impossible for the Northern Expedition not to use this army.

But the problem is that the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, so this army should stay in the capital in peacetime and set off from the capital only when there is a combat mission.

You can't call the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty every time you want to go on an expedition, you have to transfer troops from Chengdu. This has to go to the Year of the Monkey.

Of course, Zhuge Liang also knows that it is best to be able to move the capital of the Son of Heaven to Luoyang in one step, but the problem is that it is not without this condition now, but the situation forces him to go to Chang'an first, and he will do it at once.

Pang Tong was a little speechless at this statement.

Moving the capital to such a big thing, where is there a saying that you move the capital from Chengdu to Luoyang, it is a one-time matter, and it will be solved if it is solved, and the exchange of interests is just a one-time thing.

But you moved the capital from Chengdu to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Luoyang, you never thought about the possibility of the Chang'an family not doing it?!

Zhuge Liang said that he was really not worried. Chang'an family?! Now there are a few mature big families in Chang'an?!

The really influential family in Guanguan had already followed Cao Wei's army and entered the Sili region when they were full of favor and relocation, and now they have all become the Sili family.

Today's Chang'an is the world of a large number of tuntian institutes and Yizhou families who went to Yongzhou to develop the family's secondary industry.

It's good that these people can eat the land dividends in their hands, how can they have the time to think about Chang'an and Luoyang, who is more suitable as the capital?!

So, let's move the capital to Chang'an first!!
