~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
??The founding of the Hua Dynasty was celebrated by everyone, and more good news came. The roads in Chengdu Prefecture have been officially included in the sphere of influence of the Hua Kingdom. The territory of the new dynasty suddenly expanded by one-fifth, which was really the best gift at the founding ceremony.
The rapid rise of such a huge empire in the Central Plains shocked the surrounding countries. Envoys were sent one after another to congratulate him, carrying ceremonial documents and state documents. They also hope to conclude an alliance, or to claim vassal status, or to demand equal treatment, each has his or her own needs. Chang'an, the former capital of the Tang Dynasty, which has been dormant for more than two hundred years, has faintly reappeared in the past when all nations came to visit and the sea was conquered.
After Di Lie decided to accept the persuasion, when talking about the capital issue, the courtiers proposed three locations for establishing the capital: Kaifeng, Taiyuan, and Chang'an.
Most civil servants tend to favor Kaifeng. The old capital of the Song Dynasty, the majestic Bianliang, the spring dream of Beijing, has been intoxicated for hundreds of years. Although time has passed and the characters have changed, it is still touching and haunting.
The military generals mostly tended to Chang'an - after the establishment of the Hua Kingdom, it was destined that the focus of military defense would be in the northwest for a long time to come. Establishing the capital in an area closer to the national border is more conducive to the central command and support of the border troops.
As for Taiyuan, it is a place that many old people from the original Tianshu era miss, and among the millions of soldiers and civilians of China, nearly one-third of the population is from Hedong. Therefore, among the lower-level officers and soldiers, there is also a call for the capital to be established. Quite high.
After repeated weighings, Di Lie finally decided to make Chang'an the capital.
Kaifeng is good. But it was a sensitive area that was enough to arouse the nerves of Song Chen who was crossing south. It doesn't matter if you occupy it, but if you build a capital. He made it clear that he wanted to be the enemy of the Southern Song Dynasty - you know, the Southern Song Dynasty court, which has moved its capital to Changsha, still calls Changsha "Xingzai", and its meaning is still not to forget the old capital of Tokyo. Although everyone knows that this Tokyo is destined to never come back, but in order to save face, everyone just needs to understand it tacitly. But if the capital is Tokyo, it will be tantamount to tearing up the face. It will definitely arouse the reaction and anger of the Southern Song Dynasty government and the public. The Southern Song Dynasty may not have the courage to challenge China, but public opinion is definitely very unfavorable to China. Those scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern Song Dynasty were not good with their hands, but they were very good with their words In order to avoid over-stimulating the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty and reduce the resistance encountered when unifying the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, this matter must be done carefully.
Establishing the capital in Chang'an was indeed what the generals had considered. Being able to quickly respond, dispatch, and provide support when a war starts - it should be noted that under the backward communication conditions in ancient times, the farther the center is from the border, the slower the response, the more rigid the dispatch, and the slower the support This will determine the outcome of the war. Undoubtedly fatal.
Why did the Ming Dynasty move its capital from Nanjing to Beijing? The true meaning of the emperor guarding the country. It does not mean that the emperor will not run away even if the enemy attacks (the second emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty is a lesson learned from this), but it means that the central decision-makers are closer to the border troops and the enemy's country. In this way, once there are changes, decisions can be made as quickly as possible and feedback can be quickly fed back to the border army generals. This enables frontier generals to implement the court's intentions and make correct decisions.
This is equivalent to the commander on the battlefield approaching the command.
Fighting. What is being fought is fighter planes, and fighter planes are often fleeting. The distance between the center (the emperor or the decision-maker of the court), to a certain extent, determines the outcome of a war.
The gate of the Ming Dynasty in later generations was in the north, while the gate of China was in the west. Therefore, making Chang'an the capital was the right choice in line with the current situation. As for the issues of food security and water transportation, they are indeed Chang'an's weaknesses. Perhaps after the northwest frontier troubles are resolved in the future, we can consider moving the capital to an offshore location
August is a busy season for the newly established country of China. First, the newly formed leadership team of the imperial court was announced: Left Chancellor Chen Gui, Right Chancellor Zhang Jiao, Minister of War Ling Yuan, Minister of Rites Yu Wenxuzhong, Minister of Personnel Zhao Si, Minister of Hubu Zong Ying, Minister of Punishment Zhang Xiaochun, Minister of Industry Stereotype (concurrently)¡
The state of China restored the system of three provinces and six ministries, so the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers constituted the middle-level power structure of the court, which was slightly different from the political structure of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao, two talented elders, are ranked as prime ministers on the left and right, and it is natural for them to do so. It was not unexpected that Ling Yuan, who had always been an important military assistant to Di Lie, was appointed Minister of War. Zhao Si, the head of the state, had outstanding diplomatic achievements and got the largest job among the six departments, which is what the title should mean. The minister of the Ministry of Industry is just a conventional temporary position, mainly providing guidance and giving ideas. A group of top craftsmen who are appointed as ministers and Yuanwailang are responsible for the specific work. Although Yu Wenxuzhong, the Minister of Rites, repeatedly caused trouble for Di Lie, Di Lie used his talents according to his talents and applied them correctly. His extraordinary charisma impressed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the sergeants of the capital. Zhang Xiaochun, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has a very old qualification and has made great achievements in the Taiyuan War of Resistance. Although he has the flaws of surrendering the enemy, the flaws are not concealed. As long as the emperor respects him, there is nothing wrong with being the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. As for Zong Ying, although she has less qualifications,?With his father, Yu Ze, and his experience of serving as a Kaifeng Prefecture official, Tongpan, and Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, he didn't have much objection.
As for the old people who held various important positions in Tianshu City and even during the Tianping Village period, such as Hou Fangjing, Wang Youzhi, Liu Erping, Zhou Dewang, Lu Dacheng, Zhou Aji, etc., they were not qualified to hold such important positions due to their own reputation, ability and structure issues. He is the head of the department, but he can still be a deputy. For example, Hou Fangjing was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs; Wang Youzhi was a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs; Liu Erping was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs; and Zhou Dewang and others were appointed as supervisors, junior supervisors, etc., most of whom were fourth or fifth grade officials. At that time, this was considered a high-ranking official, but for them who came from humble backgrounds, they were already very satisfied.
After the leadership team was established, new administrative divisions were promulgated, and the roads in the Chinese territory were renamed "Tao", and some names were changed. For example, the original Northern Song Dynasty's Jingji, Jingxi, and Jingdong roads needed to be changed because Kaifeng was no longer the capital. The roads in the capital and west of Beijing were changed to Henan Road; the roads in the east of Beijing were changed to Shandong Road; the Yongxing Military Road where Chang'an was located was changed to Gyeonggi Road; Qinfeng Road was changed to Gansu Road, etc., which basically conformed to the names of geographical regions in later generations of China.
Each province has a general manager who takes charge of military and political affairs, and is assisted by a chief minister. This is also the time when any dynasty is newly established. Even later generations of New China, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. All must go through a period of transition from military control to centralized governance.
When it comes to fighting, Di Lie admits that he still has two tricks to spare, but administration is not his specialty. Fortunately, there are many talented people at his disposal, so he doesn't need to understand, as long as someone does it and can do it well, that's enough. And what Di Lie has to do is to be a good balancer - balancing the court, balancing interests, balancing the power structure, and even balancing the harem just this one job. It was enough to keep him busy for several years.
Although the world is stable, the trauma of the war is before our eyes. From south to north, stretching for thousands of miles, the cities are broken, the villages are destroyed, and the population is lost. All businesses withered. All of this requires long-term and long-term heavy investment from the court to restore.
In September, the Chinese court issued an edict instructing states and counties to clear out ownerless wasteland and recruit scattered people to cultivate it. The government provides grain seeds and agricultural tools. This measure must be completed before the spring of next year. The quality of the completion will be used as a performance evaluation of local officials and will become an important measurement indicator for future investigations.
at the same time. The imperial court issued a decree to reduce taxes and food for two years in Hebei and Liaodong, which were the most severely burned, most devastated, and most destitute people's livelihood. Let the people cultivate themselves and live a healthy life. As soon as this decree came out, there was great joy inside and outside Shanhaiguan, so in the land of Liao, people's hearts became more stable.
The first thing to build a country is to build an army. Tianzhu Army - now we will call it Hua Army. This standing army, with a total number of more than 300,000, was relatively chaotic in its organization before. There are both main integrated mixed divisions and brigades, as well as auxiliary independent divisions and brigades, and the numbers are not standardized, such as Qin Feng Army, Eight Character Army, Tianbo Division, Bohai Division, Baima Division, Five Horse Division, Supplementary Division, Fushan Brigade and so on. After the founding of China, they were uniformly compiled.

The total number of land and sea standing armies in the country is approximately 300,000. Together with the local troops from various prefectures and prefectures, the total strength of the country reaches 500,000.
Five hundred thousand soldiers and horses sounds like a lot, enough to account for one-half of the original Northern Song Dynasty's million-strong army. But when it was spread to all parts of China, it was not that big. After all, the territory of China is far beyond the Song and Jin Dynasties.
The three hundred thousand standing army is the main force of the Chinese army. How to ensure the normal supply of weapons, ammunition, food and military pay for this army is the top priority for maintaining the stable development of the new empire. It is also the next test of the new empire's ability to govern. ¡¯s first level.
" However, if a country has too many standing armies, or more but not enough troops, it will definitely bring a huge burden to the national finances. In the long run, having better troops and simpler administration is the only way to revitalize the country. However, looking around, the surrounding area of ??Hua Kingdom is still quite unquiet, far from the time when the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse and the horses are released in Nanshan.
And the test of the new empire came faster, more suddenly, and more violently than the Chinese emperor Di Lie and his ministers expected!
In December of the first year of Tianjian, a piece of news came back from the northwest, triggering a battle to conquer the west. (To be continued.
