Chapter 354 Moving the capital to Chang'an Battle of Kaifeng
Chapter 354: The battle of moving the capital to Chang'an and Kaifeng
After the court meeting, the three ministers, nine ministers and some ministers stayed to discuss whether to move the capital, and whether Emperor Gaozu's strategy of defeating the enemy was feasible.
However, what makes the ministers find it incredible is that originally the three ministers and the nine ministers were basically opposed to moving the capital, but after private discussions this time, they all tacitly agreed to move the capital.
What's going on?
Why are all the adults messing around with His Majesty?
The officials who were not left behind could not figure it out, and the officials who were left behind were also puzzled.
No one naively thinks that the plan of Emperor Gaozu mentioned by His Majesty is really the dream of Emperor Gaozu. But who proposed such a bold plan to His Majesty?
The important ministers of the Han Dynasty are not stupid people, and they can naturally see whether the "Gaozu's plan" is feasible. Although the risks are great, for the current Han Dynasty, it is indeed the last glimmer of hope, so how can they oppose it? p>
After obtaining the consent of the court officials, moving the capital became a foregone conclusion.
This capital relocation is different from the past. In addition to the relocation of administrative agencies, the Luoyang court moved the most food, and then the relocation of major families.
During the war, in order to win the war, all national institutions must serve the war, and food is naturally subject to strict control.
It doesn't matter whether it's the Han Dynasty or the Yellow Turbans, the reserves of ordinary people are basically expropriated, and only basic rations are allowed to be retained, and necessary labor will be forcibly recruited.
Doing this will lose the people's support to a great extent, but it has to be done. After all, if we lose the battle of gambling for the country, the country will be destroyed. What's the use of having the people's support at that time?
The Han Dynasty built two super-large grain depots in Sili, one in Sizhou and one in Yongzhou, respectively in Chang'an and Hongnong.
The reason why the imperial court did not build the grain depot in Luoyang seemed to be because it would be more convenient to transport grain and grass from Hongnong to Guanzhong if Sili could not hold it.
After the capital relocation order was issued, the people who were most affected were not ordinary people, but the Luoyang aristocratic families.
The imperial court did not force the people to move the capital with them, nor did it force the aristocratic families to follow, but the aristocratic families had to go to Chang'an.
The common people do not have the ability to go alone, so if the court does not force migration, the common people will naturally not leave the land where their ancestors lived.
But big families are different, they have the ability to migrate.
Luoyang is now home to most of the world's aristocratic families, and those who abandoned their family property and came to Luoyang are already severely damaged, and they will definitely be jointly exploited by the local aristocratic families after going to Guanzhong.
So it’s still difficult to live in Chang’an, but it won’t be possible if we don’t move.
They who fled to Luoyang were already on the Yellow Turbans' death list. Once Luoyang was captured, they would only die, so they could only go to Chang'an with the imperial court.
This time the capital was moved, the imperial court did not want to start a big fight, but with the addition of aristocratic families, the migration team also became huge.
Sili is composed of Guanzhong and Heluo. Heluo is Sizhou and has four counties, namely Henan Yin, Hanoi, Hedong and Hongnong.
In the middle of Qianli Guanzhong is Yongzhou, where there are three counties, namely Jingzhaoyin, Youfufeng and Zuofengling.
Today's Yongzhou is no longer the Guanzhong of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and its political, economic and population are far less than those of Sizhou.
However, as the number of refugees increased, the imperial court moved all the refugees who flowed into Sizhou into Guanzhong. Coupled with the entry of the world's aristocratic families, the population of Yongzhou soon exceeded the two million mark in a short period of time, and the economy gradually
Become prosperous.
If this trend continues, Guanzhong will probably become the most complicated region.
Because this place is about to become a gathering place for aristocratic families all over the world, including not only Kansai aristocratic families, but also Guandong aristocratic families, and if there are more aristocratic families, some simple things will become complicated.
……
In July of the second year of Zhongping, the Han court officially moved its capital from Luoyang to Chang'an.
Unlike Dong Zhuo, Liu Hong's move of the capital to Chang'an did not cause any damage to Luoyang. All major government agencies and offices were relocated within half a month, and it was naturally slower for aristocratic families to bring their families.
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
This palace that witnessed the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty once again welcomed its new owner, Liu Hong.
Looking at the ministers in the hall, Liu Hong asked in a deep voice: "Where have the reinforcements from Guanzhong moved to now?"
Liu Hong knew that his move to move the capital might be seen as a fool's errand by the people in the world, but he knew in his heart that this was the only way to save the Han Dynasty, and that man's plan would never go wrong.
"Your Majesty, 50,000 reinforcements from Guanzhong have arrived in Luoyang, and 100,000 troops from Yizhou have also entered Guanzhong." He Jin Station reported from Shen Shenghui.
"Yizhou is empty now, no trouble happened, right?" Liu Hong asked worriedly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with the two generals Liu Yan and Liu Ji here, Yizhou will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, he saw a detective rushing into the hall.
"Report...to report to Your Majesty that Xiaopingjin...has been lost."
This news was like thunder after reaching everyone's ears.
"What?"
Liu Hong stood up violently and exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
The court instantly became chaotic, and various discussions continued.
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turbans have been sending more troops to Xiaopingjin, and Xiang Yu has been attacking day and night. In order to capture Xiaopingjin, he even attacked the city himself. In the end, General Yuan could not stand it, and now he has led 20,000 remnant troops.
Retreat to Luoyang."
The reason why Xiaopingjin failed so quickly was that it was still affected by the relocation of the capital.
The emperor has run away, how can the soldiers at the front still have the confidence to hold on?
The loss of Xiaopingjin also caused all the efforts made by Qin Wen of Hulao Pass and other four princes to be in vain.
"Send an order to Qin Wen to abandon Hulao Pass and defend Luoyang with all his strength."
Liu Hong didn't know whether this decision was right, but it had to be done.
As soon as Xiaopingjin fell, the Yellow Turbans could pass through the waterway and directly mobilize their troops to attack Luoyang. It was meaningless to let Qin Wen defend Hulao Pass.
But once Hulao Pass is abandoned, Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu's troops will be reunited. When a million troops arrive in Luoyang, can Luoyang really be able to hold it?
This is a dead end with no solution.
As the saying goes: Blessings come from disasters, and misfortunes come from blessings.
The Han Dynasty had constant bad news on the frontal battlefield, and when everyone was pessimistically thinking that the Han Dynasty was going to perish, good news finally came from the front line.
"Report..."
Liu Hong raised his head feebly and said with a hint of ridicule: "Who lost again? Zhu Jun? Or Huangfu Song?"
Liu Hong was extremely dissatisfied with these ministers under the court, and even thought that if it weren't for them, how could the great man be in this situation, but Liu Hong did not consider his own fault at all.
Zhang Rang took the order, and after taking a look at it, he was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, this is good news. The champion Hou Qinhao defeated Huang Chao's 200,000 troops in Kaifeng, killing more than 100,000 enemies."
