Chapter 219 The battle for the new capital

Qianyuan City.

Ever since Jing Yi followed Zhou Yuan to Qianyuan City, everything here was extremely new to him.

Although he is not young anymore, he has never left Dajing to go to other dynasties.

The customs and scenery here can be said to be completely different.

Of course there are some things that are similar.

This made him less worried about being on the road before.

At least you don't have to worry about not being able to adapt to life here.

Everything he saw here was completely different from what he imagined.

You must know that in his previous imagination, although Daqian was lucky to have several strong men in the country.

However, Qianyuan City in Daqian must be extremely dilapidated and has no atmosphere of a great nation at all.

After all, just a few years ago, Dagan was a weak dynasty that could be bullied by everyone.

Not even considered by the big scene.

But now, what he saw was the neatly renovated streets and the clean city.

Although Qianyuan City can be said to be extremely small compared to the capital of Dajing.

But even so, it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Of course, since it is a sparrow.

After all, it is still not as good as their Dajing capital.

And fresh after some days.

Some news gradually reached his ears.

For example, Daqian is going to be called a great country!

The moment he heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears.

How can the word "Shangguo" be exported at will?
What's more, between dynasties and dynasties.

Although he has not had much contact with politics, he is also very clear that once such a situation occurs, there will be other consequences to intervene.

If it is unable to withstand the pressure, then the entire Daqian may fall apart as a result.

Although it is said that their Dajing has become a vassal state of Daqian.

But such a high-profile development strategy is completely different from what they had imagined before.

At first he thought it was just some speculation, but as he learned more about it, he finally discovered that it turned out to be true.

No wonder General Xue Rengui and General Xue never looked at him again after Zicheng entered Qianyuan City.

He originally thought that General Xue had given up and he no longer wanted to accept him as his disciple.

But now it seems that it is clear that the matter of Da Qian's establishment of the country is too big, so he simply cannot spare the energy to take care of him.

Even if he knew, Daqian should have sent someone to inform his father.

But he still wrote a letter and sent the news to his father.

And in addition to this, another point is that in the Daqian Dynasty, the status of literati seems to be very high.

You know, there are many national scholars in Daqian.

Although it is said that many dynasties emphasize civility over military affairs, in this world, strength has the final say.

So for most dynasties.

There is no way to compare the status of literati with those of powerful generals.

Having participated in the battle of An Shen King before, he also knew that the Right Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, although a literati, already possessed the power of a national scholar.

But in his view, this cannot change the status relationship between civil and military forces at all.

The reason is very simple.

No one knows better than those who have personally experienced that battle how terrifying the generals of Daqian are.

Not one general, but many generals, all of whom were terrifyingly powerful.

Even a strong man like Big Python An Shen Wang.

In the hands of these generals, there is no big advantage.

not to mention.

Your Majesty Daqian, that move shocked him even more.

Apparently he was also a warrior.

Under such circumstances, how could the status of a scholar be the same as that of a general?
But that's how it happened.

Not even just equal.

For some literati, even those who are as powerful as the national scholars, they all respect them extremely.

He had seen it once.

The extremely unruly General Lu Bu actually took half a step back in front of a scholar.

Then he asked the man's name.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng.

A mere minister of the Hanlin Academy.

Such a status is naturally not low, but in any case, it is not too high.

Incomprehensible.

He really couldn't understand.

With this thought in mind, Jing Yi carefully studied Da Qian's various relationships.

And in the middle of the court.

Zhou Yuan held a small meeting with the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers, and many important officials of the court.

"Tell me, everyone, do you have any suggestions for the new capital?"

Qianyuan City has been established for a long time.

But compared with today's Daqian.

Apparently it’s not enough anymore.

Not to mention a majestic city like the capital of Universiade.

Even compared with Dali Kingdom, it is half a point behind.

There are no less than 10 cities like this in today's Daqian territory.

It's really unreasonable to say that the capital is like this in a grand country.

For these, everyone has obviously already made plans.

After all, it’s about the new capital.

Not to mention now, someone was already considering it as early as when the Great Yuan was won.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhao Yan immediately spoke:
“Your Majesty, I believe that the matter of establishing a new capital is inevitable.

It is a good time to establish a kingdom and declare all countries. As for the new capital, it can be set at the old site of the capital of the Wei Dynasty. "

Seeing that everyone was thinking, he continued:

"The capital of the Great Wei Kingdom is much more stable than our Qianyuan City, and the Great Wei Kingdom is rich in iron ore, so its importance to me, Da Qian, is self-evident.

Plus its location.

It is surrounded by Dazhou and Dayan.

Da Zhou has already surrendered to me, Daqian, and Dayan, if Daqian is my enemy, can be my next step to attack Daqian. "

As he said that, Zhao Yan's eyes flickered.

"His Majesty once said that the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the gentleman dies in the country.

Hearing His Majesty's words, I felt very moved.

The general's capital was established on the old site of the Wei Dynasty, which was exactly what he said. "

After speaking, he saluted Zhou Yuan to indicate that he had finished speaking.

Although he is a wallflower, it does not prevent him from still having some abilities.

And he was not worried that His Majesty would be dissatisfied with him because of this.

After all, although the Great Wei State is indeed above the national border.

But neither Dazhou nor Dayan poses any threat to Daqian.

And Da Qian established his country.

The country must expand.

Not to mention Da Zhou, dynasties such as Dayan that once confronted Da Qian gave them a reason to invade.

If you don't take this piece of fat, you won't take it for nothing.

At that time, His Majesty has fulfilled his previous promise and will not let his capital stand on the border for a long time.

Nature is an excellent choice.

Wu Yong nodded upon hearing this.

He also thinks so.

It's a pity that Zhao Yan said it first.

Not to mention them, even Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

This is indeed a good middle-of-the-road approach.

And there is no need for him to offend anyone, so it naturally has no meaning for him.

Zhou Yuan's face was expressionless, and his fingers were lightly clasped on the table.

Situ Xuanran suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that we must practice the principle of the emperor guarding the country and the gentleman dying for the country.

The capital of the Great Wei Kingdom is just a cover.Today's Dayan can be captured with only one elite cavalry.

After that, should I seize the capital and then move the capital? "

He curled his lips in disdain.

He could understand Zhao Yan's thoughts, but as a military general, he would never tolerate such thoughts.

Zhao Yan was not angry, he just smiled and said:

"Master Situ's words are different.

His Majesty established the capital on the site of the former capital of the Wei Dynasty, which not only fulfilled his promise.

the most important is.

The capital of the Wei Kingdom was originally a majestic city.

Coupled with its good geographical location, it would cost very little to transform it into a national capital.

But it is to build a capital on your own.

That would cost a lot. Now that I am working hard, my military expenditures are extremely high.

It is precisely because of His Majesty's wisdom and prowess and the support of huge military expenditures.

Only when I have a large army can I be able to conquer all odds and maneuver among many dynasties.

But if all the huge funds are invested in building the national capital, then how can we maintain sufficient deterrence to the outside world? "

This is true, although Situ Xuanran is the Minister of the Ministry of War and does not know much about the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But he also knew that the funds of a dynasty were limited.

If you want to maintain a combat effectiveness superior to that of the army, you will naturally have to make corresponding reductions in other aspects.

Today's Daqian can be said to be militaristic.

Just because His Majesty pulled out secret armies.

Not only are these armies extraordinary in combat prowess, but they are also incredibly loyal.

more importantly.

No one knows where His Majesty's funds for training these elites come from.

But they can't put everything on His Majesty's small treasury.

Even in this current situation.

Jia Xu also went up to talk to them about the problem of the national treasury deficit.

Build another new city.

Naturally, the national treasury, which was not very wealthy, once again made matters worse.

Therefore, Situ Xuanran kept his mouth shut.

He was persuaded.

But it was obvious that although he had been convinced, there was still a bit of unwillingness on his face.

Lu Wenhan took a deep breath and then said:
"Your Majesty, I think that although the Great Wei State is an option, it is not a good choice and is at most a mediocre move.

Other things can be done in a moderate way, but the establishment of the capital is the most important thing for me.

It can only be fooled by the golden mean.

Therefore, I believe that the place where the capital of the country is established has two directions.

The first is to establish the capital on the edge of the Great Yuan. This place is close to the Great Scenery. Having the Great Scenery as an ally can reduce the danger of the new capital. If there is a change, it can also serve as a line of defense.

The reason why the capital was established here.

It's because it is closer to the python. "

"Bastard!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yan started to scold him.

He never thought that Lu Wenhan would be so radical and dare to build the capital directly on the border.

Naturally, he has some knowledge of that place.

Once the python comes to attack.

It would take less than ten days to reach the new capital city.

Even if the kings from all over the country were summoned, it would be too late.

Seeing Zhao Yan's attitude, Zhou Yuan said:

"I have already said this, speak freely and I will forgive you."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan could only shut his mouth helplessly.

This was completely different from what he imagined.

Lu Wenhan did not interrupt his thoughts because of the champion's words.

“The second option is to move the capital a hundred miles eastward and establish it at the original border between Dali and Daqian!
The existing Qianyuan City will be used as a companion capital. In this way, there is no need to abandon Qianyuan City.

The matter of the new capital can also be advanced slowly. "

Hearing this, Zhao Yan was even more shocked.

This Lu Wenhan really dares to say anything.

Compared to today's Daqian territory, that place was actually not that far from the current capital.

But if they were located further east, they would not be far from Dalong.

This proposal seemed to him even more terrifying than the previous proposal.

On the border of Great Yuan, what needs to be faced is the giant python.

But let alone the big taboos there, as a neighbor, they can cope with it, and it is difficult for the big snake to deal with the internal affairs of the big snake now, and they now have King Anshen in hand.

What's more, there is an endless war between Da Mang and Shangguo Jiuli, and there is simply no way to fight against Da Gan.

Therefore, for them, they already have more than one way to fight against the python.

But for big cashmere.

That's a completely different concept.

Even others showed surprise after hearing Lu Wenhan's words.

Chang Hongyuan, who had always been with the old god, looked surprised when he heard Lu Wenhan's words, and couldn't help but say:
"Master Lu, your second suggestion is really too radical."

Even Zhuge Liang glanced at Lu Wenhan one more time and then shook his head.

Sometimes ideas that are too radical can push you into the abyss.

So he did not support this matter.

Although he didn't speak, the fact that he didn't speak at this time actually represented his attitude.

Lu Wenhan's expression remained unchanged.

Of course he knew that his second suggestion would probably be difficult to accept.

But that's no reason for him not to make his own suggestions.

This is a very dangerous suggestion, but at the same time, it is also the most helpful suggestion for the development of Daqian.

Everyone discussed for a while but did not come up with any answer.

Some people support Zhao Yan’s doctrine of moderation.

There are also people who support Lu Wenhan’s first suggestion.

After a long time, Zhou Yuan looked at Jia Xu, who had never spoken.

"Jia Xu, what do you think?"

He could guess that Zhuge Liang would not support Lu Wenhan's second suggestion.

The reason is very simple.

What Zhuge Liang followed was a noble road.

He is an all-rounder.

Whether it is domestic affairs or military affairs, they can be managed in an orderly manner.

But being an all-rounder usually means that he is actually worse in some aspects.

At this time, he wanted to listen to the advice of Jia Xu, a poisonous man.

Because he was a little moved by Lu Wenhan's second suggestion.

That is indeed a very dangerous piece of advice, but at the same time it is dangerous and has the greatest reward.

For today's Daqian.

There is no room to retreat. Only by constantly accelerating one's pace can one surpass the constant threats.

In this case.

His ideas were radical.

Of course, that's assuming it's a normal thought.

Jia Xu looked at Zhou Yuan, then at Zhuge Liang and others.

Helplessly sighed.

What he hated most was opening his mouth at this moment.

"I think the second suggestion made by Mr. Lu can be implemented.

Our cadre needs development, and it also needs to unite people's hearts.

The emperor guarding the country can quickly unite people's hearts, consume less manpower and material resources, and have Qianyuan City as a companion capital.

Except it's a little dangerous.

Sir, I really can’t think of any other reason for rejection. "
