Volume 4 Chapter 6 A Day in the Life of His Majesty the Emperor[2]
"Your Majesty, Xindu City is congenitally insufficient, the plain land located in a flat river is not dangerous to defend, and the limited flow of Hengshui is not enough to feed a large number of people......"
Zhongling Zhicai held the tooth wat and talked eloquently. This matter has been discussed many times, and he doesn't need to look at the cheat sheet on the wat board, he can also say that he is not far from ten.
Zhang Han was high on the steps, leaning forward slightly, his eyes blazing.
The matter of moving the capital has been said many times, but the ministers have different opinions, and Zhang Han can't make up his mind for a while. As we all know, Shinto is not suitable as the Kyoto of the Great Qi. The crux of the issue at present is not whether to move the capital or not, but where to move the capital. Roughly speaking, there are three cities to choose from: Luoyang, Chang'an and Linzi.
Luoyang and Chang'an have become the Kyoto of each dynasty many times, and they have their own advantages. The terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and the proximity to the great rivers is rich in water, and there is a large plain in Guanseri, with many canals above it, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles, enough to support millions of people. These are their strengths. Moreover, Luoyang lives in the world, although the palace houses in the city have been burned down, there is a foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the conditions are still good; Chang'an lives in Guanzhong, the terrain is condescending and overlooking the Central Plains, it was the Kyoto of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also strategically advantageous.
However, Guanzhong has been war-torn and dilapidated, sparsely populated; Luoyang is slightly better, and has not recovered so far. Moreover, Zhang Han also knows that the center of gravity of China will shift to the east in the future. The lake is wide and ripe for the world, this saying is familiar to everyone in later generations, and the Northeast Plain is also an important grain producing area.
Nanjing and Beijing in later generations have not yet developed, so Zhang Han thought about it and gave up.
The conditions in Linzi are also good. Qingzhou is long and narrow, facing the sea on both sides and the river on one side. At this moment, it is still where the natural danger lies. Zhang Han has been working hard for 20 years, Qingzhou has developed rapidly, and it is fertile for thousands of miles, and it is rich in products. There are the benefits of fishing salt, rich in ceramics, sugar and Pu Tao wine and other things, and the road is convenient for transportation. It is faintly the commercial center of the world.
In addition, it is difficult to get around at this time. People have a strong sense of vernacularity. In addition to Zhang Han's descendants, most of the important ministers in the court came from Qingdao, Hebei and other places, and now the Zhang family has moved to Donglai, Qingzhou, and it is the land of Longxing. So. Linzi's voice is also very high.
In this way, it seems that Linzi is more appropriate. But, except for the vast savannah. The Western Regions is also a key target of Zhang Han's business. Next, the Northwest is also a top priority. If Linzi is the capital, this tossing and turning will not be less than 10,000 miles. Thinking about the land in the middle of the mountains and rivers and the hundred and two Qin passes, it is also a difficult problem to hand it over to who can feel at ease. Zhang Han naturally has the confidence to control the ministers, but what he does at this time is the rule of future generations, and if one is not good, there will be endless troubles, and it will not work if he is not careful.
Unfortunately, Kyoto will have to be built on a large scale, and it will not be able to be relocated...
These miscellaneous thoughts swept by, Zhang Han hadn't made up his mind yet, but Xi Zhicai Lake had come to an end:
"What Xi Qing said is extremely true, since the letter is unbearable for Kyoto, what is Xi Qing's opinion?"
"The ministers and others have thought about it again and again, and they all think that Chang'an is better, although Luoyang has this solidity, the small ......"
Xi Zhicai did not hesitate and immediately gave an answer. It has been more than two years since the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the location of the capital has not yet been determined. Speaking of which, it's a joke, and I don't understand what Zhang Han is hesitating about. Although he knew that Zhang Han must be thoughtful, but after delaying for so long, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhang Han was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help it. It seems that the prime ministers are in a hurry, and even the words of Liuhou to persuade Han Gaozu have come out. This Liuhou is the ancestor of the Zhang family in Wu County, and this is indeed reasonable, Zhang Han can't refute it, and he can't refute it.
Dong Zhuo burned down the palace dwellings, but the city walls, roads, and even drainage facilities in Luoyang were still well preserved, and the original planning and layout could also be used. Zhang Handong welcomed the emperor, and many people from Ruoyang moved back to their hometown. In addition, Luoyang is the hub of transportation in the world, and it has gradually become prosperous without war for five years. If there is a move to the capital, it will inevitably regain its former prosperity in a short period of time. This is Chang'an incomparable.
However, the topography of Chang'an is incomparable to that of Luoyang. The original words of Liuhou to persuade Han Gaozu are as follows:
"Although Luoyang has this solidity, it is small, but it is only hundreds of miles, the fields are thin, and the enemy is attacked on all sides, and this is not a country that uses force. Fuguan in the left of the letter, the right of Longshu, fertile thousands of miles, the south of Bashu Rao, the north of Hu Yuan's benefit, blocking three sides and guarding, with one side of the east to control the princes. The princes are stable, the river Wei Cao is the world, and the west is given to the capital; The princes have changed, and they go down the river, which is enough to entrust and lose. This so-called golden city is thousands of miles, and the country of abundance is also. ”
The fields around Luoyang are only one-fifth of Guanzhong, and this field is the source of food, population, and soldiers. Moreover, the terrain of Luoyang is far less dangerous than that of Guanzhong, and the southern Xiongnu rebelled in the state, and the rebel cavalry reached the big river, less than fifty miles away from Luoyang. This is a far cry from the four stops in Guanzhong.
As for Linzi, there are many people who are in favor, but several ministers in the political hall don't take it to heart. In terms of topography, scope of influence, and importance, Linzi is far behind. To put it bluntly, if there is a rebellion in Qingzhou, troops will be dispatched from Chang'an, and they will go down the river for thousands of miles in a day, that is, a matter of ten days and a half months. If you try it the other way around, you won't have two months to reach Chang'an. In other words, it is easy for Chang'an to control Qingzhou, and it is difficult for Qingzhou to control Chang'an.
Zhang Han was very depressed, he knew that later the climate changed, the northwest became more and more arid, and the grain in Guan Luo was gradually insufficient for self-sufficiency, and later relied on the supply from the southeast. After the invention of ships and trains, the influence of the downstream and counter-current was greatly weakened. However, these words cannot be said. I can't say that I knew it for 3,000 years and 2,000 years later, and no one will believe it, and I can't use it as a basis.
But the capital is northwest, and Zhang Han is reluctant. The world of the future is the world of the oceans. Whoever controls the ocean controls the world, and this is a well-known truth. At present, Qingzhou is close to the sea, has the world's most developed shipbuilding and navigation industry, can build a million stone giant ships, the fleet has been sailing to Tianzhu. To put it mildly, Zhang Han even has a steam engine (model), and he has all the conditions to control the ocean. Zhang Han intentionally or unintentionally ignored the sealing problem of the steam engine. Without rubber, the sealing performance of the lamb steam engine is very poor.
In this case, if Zhang Han wants to give up the ocean, it is absolutely unwilling!
With a frown, Zhang Han suddenly thought of something, and made up his mind in his heart. After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Zhang Han smiled and praised: "Xi Qing is really troublesome......"
Zhang Han praised him a lot, and when Xi Zhicai heard it, he immediately raised his vigilance, and every time he delayed it like this.
"But I have a question that I don't know anyone can answer?"
Zhang Han paused deliberately, and the ministers immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively, who doesn't want to impress the emperor?! There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, and Zhang Han is afraid that he will not be able to recognize them all.
"I set Liaodong in the north, Ping Sanhan, Hao, and all the secretaries, which army has the greatest credit?"
Zhang Han originally wanted to mention Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, but when he swept his eyes, he saw Sun Ce and Shixie standing below. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back again, and now they are all courtiers, and they still have to save face.
The courtiers took turns to speak, each expressing his own opinions. Zhang Han smiled and said nothing, obviously unable to agree. Five or six courtiers were wrong, and gradually no one came out. Zhang Hanzheng asked for Liu Wenbiao's name.
Guanglu Doctor Sun Ce stood up: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." The minister thinks that the navy has the greatest credit! ”
If it weren't for the navy, Sun Ce wouldn't have surrendered so easily. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Han said it, he already understood. looked at Zhou Yu, and it happened that Zhou Yu was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both of which knew that the other party had guessed it. The two of them pushed back and forth for a moment, and when they saw that Zhang Han was about to speak, Sun Ce stood up and answered.
Today, Sun Ce is Zhang Han's sister-in-law, but his wife is Zhang Han's cousin. is not as important as Zhang Chao's daughter. As soon as the official system was changed, Sangong completely became Rong Street, and Jiuqing simply canceled it. And. Relatives are not allowed to hold prominent positions. The six military headquarters of the three provinces have lost their places. Now, Sun Ce is just a Guanglu doctor from the third grade. The rank is not low, but there is no real job. Zhang Chao gave up his royal identity, and he made a mistake. He is much worse than Zhou Yu.
"What Sun Qing said is extremely true!"
Zhang Han nodded approvingly and didn't say anything. Today, Sun Ce can't afford to make big waves. I saw that Sun Ce had a depressed look between his eyebrows. Zhang Han was vaguely apologetic. But no matter what. He would not let Sun Ce lead the troops. The Jiangdong Tiger has only been a kitten in his life.
Zhang Han smiled slightly, and brought a map of the whole country and showed it to the ministers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, Luoyang is in the world. However, look at it from the sea. How is Linzi not in the world? ”
Not long after the new map came out, it was about a foot square, and the shape was very similar to the maps of later generations. Not only the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are depicted in great detail, but also the land of Qiurong in the north, the wild land in the south, the overseas islands, and even the Dongyi, the Western Regions, and Southeast Asia are depicted. Naturally, these areas are a lot rougher.
When the ministers saw it, they were all amazed, and many people had such an intuitive understanding of the surrounding situation of Daqi for the first time. Sure enough, on the map, Qingzhou is located in the center of Liaodong, North Korea, Guanluo, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou and other places. Considering sea transportation, Linzi is indeed another kind of world.
However, when a few people saw the map, they were secretly surprised.
What is a map?
That's a strategic resource! It's not casually mapped, it often represents a kind of covetousness. There is no covetousness, and no one is going to spend a lot of money to map it. Don't......
It's unbelievable that these people automatically stopped imagining and traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to seek it.
Immediately, the ministers reacted, and Zhang Han showed his tendency. There was a commotion in the Taihe Hall all of a sudden, and those who were in Linzi were not important people. Those who have insight laughed at it as "whimsical". Strategically significant, Linyi is far from being comparable to the other two cities. Even Ruoyang is much stronger.
……
After Zhang Han finished speaking, he found that people lacked the awareness of sea power at this time, so the reason was very insufficient, and of course he could not convince the ministers. In the midst of the group of opposition, Zhang Han had no choice but to say in a loud voice: "Let's talk again!" Talk again! "It's kind of prevaricating the matter for the time being.
The future is worrying!
Zhang Han glanced at his ministers and couldn't help but sigh secretly. It is conceivable that many ministers are holding back their strength and are preparing to persuade him to "not do such an absurd act" in the big belly. This is the prophetic trouble!
With a long sigh of silence, the courtier had already moved on to the next topic. Tobe Shang Xiangfeng began to report on the progress of the relocation of the Haoqiang family.
"Your Majesty, according to the reports of the local officials, the Kong clan of Luguo, the Chen clan of Xuxian, the Li clan of Xiangcheng, the Li clan of Hanzhong, the Yingyin clan, and the Yang clan of Hongnong...... The people who have relocated to the 300 clans have already set off......"
Most of the courtiers are from everyone, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. However, this matter was personally designated by Zhang Han, and his sinister intentions are well known, and no one will be stupid enough to oppose it. There was no sound in the Taihe Palace, only Xiang Fengdi's voice was echoing.
Hear the news. Zhang Han let out a sigh of relief.
This time, Zhang Han forcibly moved the surname of the powerful people in the world to weaken the local powerful forces. These people in the relocation area are all famous families in the world, or the heroes of the border counties, and none of them are good at stubble. However, in the face of the supreme imperial power, these people are nothing. Officials everywhere have taken this as a priority, using both hard and soft measures, sitting at home and urging them, and must let the designated people wait for them to go on the road before the specified deadline.
At the same time, the army was assembled, ready to be suppressed, whenever and wherever it was needed, to suppress a possible rebellion. When the world is unified and the people are at peace, it is not easy to rebel. People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads. Since the rebellion can't be done and can't be delayed, then the only way to do it is to obediently go on the road. Immediately, the local officials who had been prepared for a long time quietly filled the power vacuum after the departure of these families.
In fact, Zhang Han wants to migrate more than three hundred. According to the information provided by Sparrow, Zhang Han delineated a total of nearly 2,000 clans and Haoqiang who wanted to migrate. Most of these people have big families and large populations. After excluding unimportant figures such as branch branches, the number of people who needed to migrate was close to 200,000. Counting the slaves and the like, I'm afraid a million can't stop. Zhang Han saw that the impact was too great, so he divided it into several batches of migration.
Anyway, Zhang Han is only in his early forties, and he has time, so he would rather spend a few more years to ensure smooth progress.
