Chapter 304 Dare to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new sky (2)
"I have learned a lot from you. Please continue to give me your guidance."
"Xuanming, after Ping Liao, where do you think the military center of our dynasty is?"
"In Yanjing!" Changsun Moli replied after thinking for a moment.
"Tell me what you think." Zhao Si said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I have reviewed the history books and found that since the rise of the Xiongnu, Mobei has become an important foreign invasion in the Central Plains. Since the rise of Xianbei, especially after the rise of the Khitan, the foreign invasion in the northern part of the Central Plains has shifted from Mobei to the northeast. Although our country recovered Yanyun and moved the Northeast
and Mobei are included in the territory, but if we want long-term peace and stability, we must find ways to completely integrate Northeast China and Mobei."
"I believe that your Majesty has already made plans in this regard, but no matter what, these will take time, and it will not be a short time. Twenty years, thirty years, fifty years. During this period, our court must be in Yanshan,
Heavy troops are stationed on the front line of Yinshan Mountain to prevent unexpected events. Therefore, Yanjing will naturally become the military center of our dynasty in the next fifty years."
"Is there any more?" Zhao Si asked eagerly.
Changsun Moli thought for a while and continued: "Your Majesty, just now you said that the regional economic center is actually the transportation center of the region. Yanjing has inherent advantages in terms of geographical location and transportation, being connected to Mobei and Northeast China.
It is close to the sea and can transport a large amount of materials by sea. It can be connected to Mobei and Northeast China through a straight road. Compared with Hedong, Shuofang and other places, it has incomparable advantages. It can easily become a hub that includes Hebei, Mobei and Northeast China.
a large regional economic center.”
Zhao Si happily waved his riding whip up and down in the air, making a crisp sound.
"Yes, you are right, Xuan Ming. The military center, coupled with the large regional economic center, does not overlap with the political center. We can predict how big of a problem this will cause."
Changsun Moli nodded.
Indeed, it is true that a military center plus a large regional economic center, in history books, means that this place has an imperial atmosphere and has the capital to compete for world hegemony.
Then you don’t have to worry about who you send to garrison, for the same reason as mentioned above. But Yanjing must succeed in its business. If it succeeds, the Song Dynasty will never be able to get rid of the troubles from the north, and it will be free to develop its domestic economy and move eastward.
, water and land expansion in three directions: south and west.
If it fails, Mobei and Northeast China will once again become a serious threat to the Central Plains, and its harm will far exceed that of the Xiongnu, Turks, Xianbei and Khitan. Because the tribes in this land, especially the Northeastern tribes, are in contact with the Central Plains
During the war, they learned advanced political and military knowledge as well as a large number of manufacturing technologies, and their strength far surpassed that of the Huns and Turks.
Faced with such a dilemma, moving the capital was the best choice. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally sat in charge, and the political center and military center overlapped. It also showed great determination to govern and integrate Mobei and Northeast China, and was able to devote all the efforts of the country to it.
This is a magnificent project.
"Xuan Ming is right to the point."
Changsun Moli's words aroused Zhao Xi's interest.
"I have made plans to move the capital slowly. We will first carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in Yanjing and the Yanjing area. Tianjin Port, the Beijing-Tianjin Canal based on the east branch of the Sanggan River, and the Sanggan River are prone to flooding.
The disaster-stricken rivers must be managed, and straight roads leading to the east, west, north, and south must be built..."
"I also plan to build a canal, going south to Cangzhou, Nanpi, Dezhou, Linqing, Yuncheng, and directly to Juyeze, connecting the Central Plains. Then continue south to Xuzhou, connecting to the Central Canal in Chuzhou, and connecting to the Yangtze River. There are straight roads, canals
As well as shipping, Yanjing will soon show its advantages and quickly become a large regional economic center. By then, they will have no worries about food, housing and clothing. If they still refuse to move the capital, I will let them go to Sanfo
Qi went to open up territory for the Song Dynasty."
When Zhao Si said this, he laughed confidently.
The eldest grandson Mo Li also laughed, it seemed that His Majesty indeed had a perfect plan.
At this point, he also fully understood why His Majesty supported Yelu Dashi and other Khitans, and the Xiren nobles to purge Zhang Lin, Li Yan and other Han family forces in Yanyun states.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Since it was decided to move the capital to Yanjing, these local forces in Yanyun that had been attached to the Khitans for hundreds of years would naturally be uprooted and completely eliminated.
A herald came galloping towards him on horseback. He was stopped by Han Jia, the captain of the bodyguard. After checking his identity card, he accompanied him.
"Your Majesty, an urgent report has been sent from the Yanjing front line."
"Your Majesty, after the people of all ethnic groups in Yanjing City circulated our army's announcement, they hated Zhang Lin, Li Yan and other traitors for taking the opportunity to make money. They gathered a crowd and rushed into Li's house. They arrested Zhang Lin, Li Yan and other twenty people who were gathering at the party.
One person was beaten to death... Some of the people shouted, saying that Xiao Puxiannu was the backstage of Li Yan and others, and they wanted to eliminate all evil deeds, so the people rushed into the imperial city again..."
"The Han army in the imperial city did not dare to take action, and the common people rushed into the imperial city. Seeing the emergency, Xiao Puxian's daughter hanged herself. More than a hundred of her party members died in the chaos. Later, Yelu Dashi, Yelu Diligu, Xiao Ximai, Xiao
Chengqian negotiated with the Han officials and Han generals Zhang Jue, Ma Zhi, Zhong Yaoshi, and Wu Cunzhong, and worked together to suppress the chaos and maintain order. At dawn, he handed over the letter of surrender from the Prince of Liao and went out of the city to ask for surrender."
"General Liu ordered our army to first take over the city defenses, and then ordered the Liao army's Khitan, Xi, Han, and Bohai troops to go out of the city to be reorganized.
, Zhong Yaoshi, Wu Cunzhong, Gao Xianshou and other generals led their troops out of the city. Then our army entered the city in batches and formally took over the entire city of Yanjing."
After Zhao Si listened quietly, he turned to his eldest grandson Moli and said, "A century-old wish has finally come true today."
The eldest grandson, Moli, quickly dismounted and, together with the surrounding guards and soldiers, shouted in unison: "I am waiting to congratulate Your Majesty for your unparalleled achievements. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that you have revived the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Si listened to the cheers that were like the sea waves, and rode on the horse like a mountain. He stared into the distance, the vast North China Plain, like a welcome blanket, waiting for the arrival of the king.
At this historic moment, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers held their breath and concentrated their attention. There was an emotion that condensed and lingered between heaven and earth, and then swam into Zhao Si's heart. It was not joy, but a kind of relief; not excitement, but a kind of solemnity.
The sun at this time is scorching and dazzling, driving away the gloomy ghosts that have lingered on this land from the past to the present; the gentle breeze at this time is clear and gentle, soothing the heroic souls of the souls who have suffered from the sorrows of the past and the sufferings of the years.
Ten years of gathering and ten years of hard work have finally changed the direction of history. The humiliation that a nation has hated for thousands of years will no longer happen. Civilization can finally defeat barbarism.
Zhao Si raised his head and looked at the sky. It was a deep blue, as if he had been to the North Sea and washed his heart.
The road ahead is still long and may never end.
"Commanders, our target now is Yanjing, let's keep going!" Zhao Si raised his whip and said loudly in the sun. This chapter has been completed!
