Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hangzhou is too far away from the north, which is not conducive to controlling Youyun, Henan, Shandong, Hedong and other places.  At this time, the central institutions must be transferred to the north to accelerate the reconstruction of the north.  Otherwise, the speed of fast horse transmission is too slow, which is not conducive to the transmission of messages, and it is easy to cause the separatism of feudal towns.  "Your Majesty, please return the capital to Bianliang!" Wan Qigao said at this time.  "Return the capital to Bianliang!?" Zhao Pu immediately felt shocked, "Everyone in the Qing family, do you also want to return the capital to Bianliang?" "Your Majesty, Hangzhou is located in the south. It can be used as a capital temporarily, but it is not a long-term stay.  Your Majesty, please return the capital to Bianliang! Only by living in the world and controlling the world can we ensure the peace of the Song Dynasty for thousands of years!" A minister said, advocating returning the capital to Bianliang.  "Your Majesty, the north has been in war for a long time and has been reduced to ruins. The local palace in Bianliang has been seriously damaged. At this moment, Bianliang is still in the capital, and it needs a lot of construction and palace construction. This is not conducive to the stability of the Song Dynasty. Please  Your Majesty, temporarily slow down the move of the capital to Bianliang!" Another minister objected.  "No, it's better to act early than to act late. Although our government has recaptured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, the situation on the frontline is still unstable. The Jin Army is eyeing it and wants to invade the border and invade the Great Wall at any time. The danger is extremely high at this time. Your Majesty needs to return all the troops.  Liang can calm people's hearts and help consolidate border defense. Secondly, Xixia threatens the northwest, and our country has to defend it!" An official from the Ministry of War analyzed from a military and strategic perspective.  "Bianliang is located on the edge of the Yellow River. There are few dangerous mountains around it, which is conducive to attack but not conducive to defense. If our capital is returned to Bianliang, it will inevitably stage the humiliation of Jingkang again! Instead of returning the capital to Bianliang, it is better to move the capital to Luoyang!" Zhao Ding said.  "The weather is not as good as the land, and the geographical advantages are not as good as the people! As long as our country has a strong army in hand and takes the initiative to attack and kill the enemy outside the fortress, how can the barbarians invade the border?" Shi Hao said.  "As he said this, the ministers quarreled over where to decide the capital.  And quarreled.  On the eve of the second war in the north, various ministers were thinking about whether they could win and, if defeated, how to reduce the losses.  At this moment, the Song army won a decisive victory.  Within the Great Wall, most of it was Song Dynasty territory.  It's just that a new problem has arisen, where to decide the capital.  At this time, Hangzhou's role as the temporary capital also disappeared, and it was inevitable to move the capital to strengthen control in the north.  It¡¯s just a question of when to move the capital.  There was disagreement over where the capital should be.  Until the end of the morning, there was no quarrel.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After the morning court, Zhao Pu has been thinking about where to decide the capital.  In the preliminary idea, the best location for establishing the capital should be Youzhou.  Youzhou is the Beijing of later generations.  Making Beijing the capital is conducive to strengthening national defense and has the color of the emperor guarding the country.  Once something unexpected happens in Liaodong, Mongolia and other places.  You can strike quickly, nipping danger in the bud like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.  The wind and frost in the north are also conducive to tempering a strong will. Otherwise, in the warm wind in the south, you will not be able to endure hardships and will be destroyed.  In later generations, Japan invaded China.  Outer Mongolia became independent because Chiang Kai-shek made Nanjing his capital, which weakened the defense of the north.  Even after losing Northeast China and Outer Mongolia, Chiang Kai-shek could not feel the slightest sense of crisis, which gave Japan and the Soviet Union an opportunity to take advantage of it and cause a catastrophe.     only.  At this moment, it¡¯s really not possible to make Youzhou the capital.  Youzhou is too far north, which is not conducive to controlling the south of the Yangtze River and can easily cause the country to split.  In the Ming Dynasty.  While the north was fighting endlessly with the Manchus and peasant armies, the south was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight without any sense of crisis. As a result, the north was finished and the south was defeated. In the Qing Dynasty, a Wuchang uprising resulted in the south becoming independent one after another, and the entire country fell apart.  Warlords continued to divide the country.  The Song Dynasty was much smarter. It established its capital in Bianliang, located in the middle, and controlled the south very well.  Even after the Jingkang Incident, it was able to quickly establish a foothold in the south and confront the Jin Kingdom. However, the Ming Dynasty in later generations was much worse.  In addition, if the capital is Youzhou, food will also be a problem.  In the later Ming and Qing dynasties, there was at least water transportation, and grain could be transported through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.  But in this era, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal only transported goods to the Bianliang area, and there was no canal leading to the north.  If the capital is Youyun, there must be a shortage of food.  The most important thing is that the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures have been isolated from the Han Dynasty for two hundred years since Shi Jingtang and belonged to the territory of the Liao Kingdom.  The long-term isolation has caused the local Han people to lack identification with the central government.  When they attacked Youyun this time, they encountered strong resistance from the people in Youyun area, and massacres even occurred in some cities.  Although Zhao Pu repeatedly emphasized military discipline before the war, it was still unavoidable at certain times, such as the massacre of the city.  War is evil. When a war starts, try to exercise restraint and try to avoid immoral behavior, but it will still happen in the end.  WhenWhen entering the city, there is not much difference between the civilians defending the city and the soldiers. As long as they do not put down their weapons, they are all enemies and will be killed.  And ordinary civilians will naturally be recruited to defend the city. In this way, they will inevitably become cannon fodder and fight fiercely with the Song army that invades the city.  The people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were deeply estranged from the Song Dynasty. They moved their capital to Youzhou and lacked the foundation of a group.  At this time, Zhao Pu somewhat understood why Zhu Yuanzhang did not move the capital to Beijing after destroying the Yuan Dynasty. It was only because of the tragic massacre that occurred when Dadu was captured.  The people there had a very bad influence on Zhu Yuanzhang. Where he could gain a foothold, he lacked a mass base.  Politically, it is not conducive to controlling the south; economically, there is a shortage of finances and taxes, and food shortages; strategically, if it is too far north, it will be attacked by the Jin army; and at the grassroots level, it lacks a mass base.  Dingdu Youyun is really unreliable!  And the most unreliable thing is that no minister will support moving the capital to Youzhou!  If we say that some people support and some oppose moving the capital to Bianliang, then no minister supports moving the capital to Youzhou!  However, no matter how unreliable it is, moving the capital to Youzhou will have great benefits in the long run.  Moving the capital to Youzhou will strengthen national defense politically and effectively combat the nomads in the north; and economically, it can effectively develop the Northeast.  In this era, land is the greatest resource.  In the Song Dynasty, there was a shortage of cultivated land, which led to constant rebellions among the refugees.  There were too many people but too little land, and serious population pressure was one of the reasons for the demise of many dynasties.  The hundreds of millions of arable land and fertile black soil in the Northeast can effectively alleviate population pressure.  After all, compared with developing the Americas, Australia and other regions, developing the Northeast is less difficult and more affordable.  "Yue'er, where would you say is the most suitable place to set the capital?" Looking at the map, Zhao Pu asked.  "Chang'an is in decline, so it is not suitable to be the capital. There are only three places suitable to be the capital, Yingtianfu, Luoyang, and Bianliang!" Wang Wuyue said, "I think Luoyang is the most suitable place to be the capital. Luoyang is surrounded by dangerous mountains and rivers.  The land of the Central Plains can effectively control the north and south!" "Luoyang?" Zhao Pu shook his head and asked, "How about making the capital Youzhou?" Wang Wuyue was immediately stunned and asked,  "Your Majesty, how could you have such an idea!" It is very difficult to understand why the emperor would have such a weird idea!  "Isn't it possible to make Youzhou the capital?" Zhao Pu said, beginning to explain the advantages and significance of making Youzhou the capital.  But Wang Wuyue still shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, you cannot make your capital Youzhou!"
