    (Thanks for the support of Mouse Love mm, thank you. ¡ð) Since Gao Jiong cannot be dismissed for the time being, let him be the commander of the Southern Expedition Army and temporarily transfer him out of the court.  Yi Feng moved very quickly. On that day, he worshiped Wang Bao as the marshal of the southern expedition against the bandits, and appointed Gao Jun as the marching commander. He also transferred more than a dozen generals such as Qin Qiong, Lai Zheng, Wang Bodang, and Dou Jiande, from Beiya Seven Guards and Ten.  The army mobilized 60,000 Han infantry and cavalry and 40,000 Turkic light cavalry, for a total of 100,000 troops to form the Southern Expedition and Pingtai Army.  Early the next morning, he swore an oath to fight under Jin Yong City.  Gao Jun, Wang Bao and others led 100,000 soldiers and horses southward. Yi Feng still had 80,000 soldiers and horses left in Henan. The army entered Luoyang that day.  Luoyang is also known as the State of Kings, the birthplace of Chinese civilization.  Since the Xia Dynasty, eight dynasties including Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, and Northern Wei have established their capitals here. In addition, Yi Feng has designated Luoyang as the eastern capital.  It can be regarded as the capital of the Nine Dynasties. It can definitely be called the earliest city to have a capital in China's history, the most dynasties to have the capital, and the longest time to have the capital. There is no other city in the world, and there is no equal in the four seas.  Luoyang was called Luoyang and Yuzhou in ancient times. It is located in the west of Henan and the middle reaches of the Yellow River. It was named because it is located in the Yangtze River.  Luoyang has been regarded as the home of Emperor Weihan and the Kingdom of Heluo in the world since ancient times.  It has been the political, economic and cultural center of the world for a long time, and is also a transportation hub with roads extending in all directions.  The last time Luoyang prospered was as the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the last time it was destroyed was during the Mangshan War between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties more than sixty years ago.  Twenty years ago, Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty built Luoyang Palace for the last time and mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources.  But the project only lasted a year, and Emperor Xuan died.  Yang Jian took charge of the government and succeeded Zhou.  Only half of Luoyang City has been built, and only the Luoyang Palace City has been completed.  Yi Feng and hundreds of officials from the Taiyuan imperial court entered Luoyang under the protection of Beiya officers and soldiers. After more than twenty years of cultivation, away from the flames of war, Luoyang city regained its vitality. Surrounding the south of Luoyang Palace built by Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, there are a large number of squares.  , according to the following report, these Lifangs were completely slowly expanded without overall planning.  There are actually more than three hundred.  The Luoyang Palace is more than 200 feet from east to west and more than 300 feet from north to south.  There are also three extremely lively commercial markets in the lively and somewhat chaotic Luoyang City. The small market in Xiguo is a specialized cattle, horse and livestock trading market.  As well as Sitong City in Nanguo, also known as Yongqiao City among the people, most of the fish caught in the rivers near Luoyang are sold here.  Also because Yongqiao City is located south of Yongqiao, Luoshui Floating Bridge, water transportation is convenient.  Therefore, a large number of foreign merchants gather here. ????????????????????? Dongguo City is eight miles in circumference, so it is also called a big city. There are two miles of trade and goods to the east of Dongguo City.  The people inside are all skilled in craftsmanship.  He makes a living as a butcher and has a fortune of tens of millions. There is also a tuner and a tuner in the south of the city.  The people inside sing songs of silk and bamboo.  There are many wonderful tricks in the world, and there are two li of Tui Feng and Zhi Shang in the west of the city.  Most of the people here are engaged in wine making. There are Cixiao and Fengzhong li in the north of the city, and the people in the area are engaged in selling coffins.  The prosperity of Dongguo City has even led to the development of handicrafts and commerce in the surrounding eight villages, forming an economically prosperous area with Dongguo City as the center.  The population of Luoyang City has even exceeded 200,000. Although it is inferior to Chang'an and Taiyuan, it is no longer the huge population of 109,000 households in the city during the Northern Wei Dynasty.  But it is still quite remarkable, especially since this place is located in the Central Plains, the center of the world, close to the Yellow River, and the logistics from all over the world pass through, which leads to the unusual prosperity of business here.  Looking at Luoyang City, which lacked long-term scientific planning but still developed naturally, Yi Feng was also very emotional.  Now that he has become the prince of the country, he controls six provinces and hundreds of states, and has made Luoyang the capital. He can plan and manage Luoyang well and make it the real center of the world.  In Yifeng's opinion, Luoyang, as the center of the world, is more suitable as the capital than Chang'an.  Especially now that Guanzhong has a large population and serious land annexation, the output is simply not enough to supply the capital, and a large amount of food and materials need to be transported from the Guandong region, which increases a lot of unnecessary consumption and is not conducive to the imperial court's rule over the vast Guandong region.  Especially because the north and south were divided for hundreds of years and finally unified, there is still a huge gap between the north and the south. Choosing Luoyang as the capital at this time is more conducive to communication between the north and the south.  At the same time, from another perspective, to the west of Guanlong, there are areas such as Tuyuhun and Tubo. Those places have no development potential at all.  It is precisely for this reason that since the Han Dynasty, when the dynasty with its capital in Chang'an became strong, it could only expand to the Western Regions.  However, there are many fatal flaws in expanding to the Western Region. There is only a narrow Hexi Corridor connecting the Western Region. Once something happens, the operation of the Western Region will be completely destroyed.  This was true in the Han Dynasty, and it was also true in the Tang Dynasty.  No matter how powerful they are, after all, in this era, the Tubo Plateau and grassland nomads are stubborn diseases that are difficult to completely solve. With them, the management and development of the Western Regions will always have fatal problems that are difficult to solve.  And by establishing the capital in the Central Plains in this way, all four sides can be taken care of, especially the Yellow River and the Jianghuai River.The rich water network greatly alleviates the pressure on water transportation.  And the eastward movement of the political center is not just that. If the capital moves eastward, the imperial court can also develop the Liaodong region in the northeast, and the Zhejiang and Lingnan regions in the southeast. The development of these places is definitely better than the development of the Western Regions.  In short, the benefits of moving the capital eastward don¡¯t stop there.  In some respects, Yi Feng still agrees with Yang Guang. At least he moved the capital to Luoyang and dug canals with a long-term strategic vision. It's a pity that he was too eager for quick success.  Yi Feng warned himself that he must not follow Yang Guang's old path.  However, some things still need to be done.  After entering Luoyang, Yi Feng's first decree was to establish Luoyang University in Luoyang.  At the beginning of the year, he just established Northern University in Youzhou, attracting many students.  Now, Yifeng plans to establish an institution of higher learning in Luoyang to recruit scholars from the Central Plains.  Yi Feng invited his teacher Wang Tong, a great Confucian from Hedong, to serve as the sacrificial wine minister at Luoyang University.  After the first batch of students from Youzhou and Luoyang universities graduate, he will have a large reserve of superior officials and teachers.  At that time, we can greatly enrich the ranks of lower-level officials, expand the ranks of teachers in state and county schools, further promote education, and break the monopoly of the privileges of the noble families on Confucian classics and culture.  The second decree issued by Yi Feng was to announce the announcement to various places, asking for talents, and inviting local scholars and scholars to come out and work for the imperial court.  After these people were invited out, Yi Feng arranged a simple test, and then offered jobs based on the results. This was also regarded as a test to obtain a scholar, a disguised form of the imperial examination, or a warm-up in advance.  After Yi Feng's order to seek talents was issued, the response from various places was very enthusiastic, especially those from Shandong and Jiangnan, as well as many ordinary Han scholars who had no chance to serve as officials. They were even more delighted and rushed to Luoyang one after another.  In a short period of time, Yi Feng has attracted a large number of scholars. Although a large number of them are just scholars and not outstanding talents, it is good to at least be arranged to serve as assistants and assistants. Now  Yifeng controls six provinces, hundreds of states and hundreds of counties, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. In particular, it is planning to establish schools at all levels in various states, counties and townships and vigorously promote education, which requires a large number of scholars.  In addition, Yifeng is also preparing to develop business and revitalize the economy in Luoyang, which also requires many scholars.  Nothing can be achieved with a pool of stagnant water, and it is equally boring to perform a one-man show by oneself. What Yi Feng wants is to mobilize everyone.  The third decree issued by Yifeng is to have more than 400 counties in six provinces, 100 states and more than 400 counties immediately carry out a large-scale population census.  It not only checks the registered population, but also measures land, registers and checks shops, workshops and other economic entities.  Only by understanding these details can we make appropriate development plans based on this information.  Every day, Yi Feng would spend half a day to conduct on-the-spot inspections of every village in Luoyang City. Every day at lunch time, he would summon an elder from a village to talk with them while eating. They would not talk about any major national affairs, but only some important matters.  The changes in each neighborhood over the years, the specific people's livelihood and other matters underneath.  These days, Yifeng has established two new departments, a Propaganda Department and a United Front Department.  The purpose is very clear, which is to publicize the many new decrees and measures of the Luoyang court to the people as much as possible, and at the same time control public opinion. For example, it is necessary to explain to the people that Yang Xiu is a traitor who killed the emperor and usurped the throne, and Yang Guang proclaimed himself emperor arbitrarily.  Emperor Yang Yong was the former crown prince, the crown prince for nineteen years.  In addition, it is necessary to publicize how Prince Yang Lin was favored by the emperor in the first place, and how he was specially appointed as the emperor's grandson. In short, he must activate the propaganda machine to help the court win the hearts of the people.  At the same time, Yi Feng asked the Hanlin Academy to draft an imperial edict and announce it to the world, honoring the late emperor with his posthumous title and the title of Gaozu in the temple.  Yifeng also asked the Propaganda Department to preside over the publication of the imperial court's first official report, the Royal Daily, to publish public news such as some of the imperial court's decrees and personnel appointments and removals.  The Propaganda Department was very high-profile when it was first established, but the United Front Department was relatively low-key when it was established. This department is actually dedicated to uniting the front, uniting all those who can be united, and even buying them off.  Yi Feng was busy every day in Luoyang, and good news came frequently after Gao Jiao and Wang Bao went south.  Along the way, the Southern Expedition army was overwhelming and unstoppable. Wherever it went, the defenders from all over Huainan basically surrendered, and no one could hold it back.  Yang Guang advanced to the west and took away almost all the soldiers and horses. This resulted in Huainan having no soldiers at all. Coupled with the strong soldiers and horses of Gao Jiong and others, they were really blocked.  Early that morning, Gao Jiong sent another piece of great news.  "The Southern Expeditionary Army has recaptured Yangzhou!"
