Within two days, the news that Luo City had returned to Dashang spread throughout the world.
The princes from all walks of life were horrified!
Luo City was originally the foundation for the establishment of the Great Shang Dynasty. Its location was in the center of the Central Plains and could be said to be the core of the world.
The surrounding waterways are developed and densely populated. There is a large river and natural chasm in the north, and there are mountains as barriers in the remaining three directions. It can be said that it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.
The most important thing is that Luocheng is one of the richest cities in the world.
No matter which vassal state it is, as long as it takes Luo City, its national power will be greatly improved.
Zhao Rui was leading a group of people in the square in front of the Luocheng Palace. They looked at the huge nine cauldrons placed there and couldn't help but sigh.
When the Great Shang Dynasty was founded, the first generation of Great Shang Emperor ordered the skilled craftsmen from all over the world to forge this Jiuding, which represents the nine states in the world.
It is a pity that the descendants of Dashang were unfilial and were driven all the way to the northern border. The Nine Great Cauldrons and even the entire Luocheng City fell into the hands of others.
Now that he has returned, he can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of Dashang.
This is also the reason why Zhao Rui did not redesign the imperial city when he was planning the infrastructure construction of Dashang.
He is just waiting to capture Luo City again one day and move the capital of Dashang here.
"Your Highness, the land in Hexi has completely stabilized, and the handover of household registration has been extremely smooth."
"The Nine Ministries have sent officials at all levels into Hexi, and the Ministry of Industry has also begun to build straight roads and galloping roads there!"
...
News came one after another, and relief gradually appeared on Zhao Rui's face.
Next, he only needs to follow Luo City, all the way south, and eat the entire Liang Kingdom one bite at a time.
"Order!" Zhao Rui suddenly turned around: "Tell the Ministry of Industry to immediately send skilled craftsmen to Luo City to repair the palace. Before His Majesty moves the capital, I will make this the first imperial capital in history."
Although this order was given to the ordering soldiers, the civil and military ministers nearby all knelt on the ground and said "obey".
They are all ministers of Dashang, so they naturally have that pride in their hearts.
At this moment, Nangong Yi suddenly stood up and came to Zhao Rui's side.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, I have to say something! Today among the powerful vassal states in the Central Plains, no country has the strength to devour other countries alone. Once one vassal state annihilates another, it will inevitably be attacked by the other vassal states.
Attack it."
Zhao Rui immediately calmed down. Nangong Yi is truly a strategist and has a thorough understanding of the changes in the situation between countries.
There are fundamental differences between the various princes and powerful countries in the Central Plains and the small countries in the north.
Many forces in the north are, at best, just a larger tribe, and if they are swallowed up, they will be swallowed up.
Even though Northern Zhao and Dongliang both have official state titles, they give the impression that they are small countries with few people, desolate and cold places.
No one wants these places at all.
As for Northern Yan, after the coalition forces of several countries failed to attack Jicheng, the king of Northern Yan, Murong Xuan, personally issued an edict to merge the territory of Northern Yan into Dashang.
In this way, it would not be considered the Great Shang annexing Northern Yan, and the other vassal states would have no excuse.
But Liang Guo was different. It was a powerful country in the Central Plains in the true sense!
