Chapter 574 Moving the Capital
As of now, among the three alternative capitals, Daxing Prefecture has been brought under the control of the Xinghan Alliance.

This is also the reason why Liu Xinqi considered the capital.

If you move the capital early, you can plan and develop the capital early.

Penglai is located at the edge of the peninsula. On land, it is just a corner.As for the coastline, it is surrounded by sea on three sides, so there is no danger to defend.There is no possibility of becoming a capital city. Building large-scale political buildings here is a waste of resources.

In the past two months of working in the League Department, the offices of each department have been very crowded, so crowded that it has affected the normal office order and efficiency. It is urgent to change to a more spacious and convenient office location.

In addition to office work, there is also scientific research.

Large scientific research institutes must be close to the capital, and Penglai's location in the field determines that it is not suitable for scientific research. One quarter of the year is affected by typhoons, making outdoor activities impossible.

As the capital, Daxing Prefecture has a cultural heritage and status established in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In later generations, it was used as the capital of the new country. In addition to its geographical and industrial advantages, it was also because it was peacefully liberated and the city had experienced little war. Save intact.

But for the current period of time, Daxing Mansion is unfamiliar as the capital, and it is a fresh attempt.

Several senior officials of the academy disagreed.

They are more inclined to build the capital in Kaifeng or even Damingfu.

A small number of officials agreed with Liu Xinqi's proposal of Luoyang, and others proposed establishing Chang'an as the capital.

As for Jiankang Prefecture, the impact of the Yangtze River floods caused it to be unpopular with officials.

Liu Xinqi stood in front of the map and looked at the Daxing Mansion on the map. There were waterways crisscrossing Wanping City (Guo Fucheng). Although there were no big lakes, this plain was still very suitable for building a capital.

"The leader is considering moving the capital again?" Xu Zhong walked in from outside: "You didn't even hear me knocking on the door."

"Well, this matter should be done sooner rather than later." Liu Xinqi did not turn around, but continued to look at the map and replied: "The name Xinghan League is no longer suitable for our current development momentum. If it is unknown, it will not go well. It is time to find a Feng Shui treasure land and officially Establishing a capital and establishing a name will also benefit our Xinghan League's future development plan."

"I understand that you are more inclined to build the capital in the south, but before the Jin Kingdom is eliminated, Southern Zhao cannot move. As for when Jiankang Mansion will be captured, no one can say for sure." Xu Zhong is Liu Xinqi's The intelligence chief was the confidant among his confidants, so he knew more clearly what Liu Xinqi wanted: "But now the capital relocation cannot be delayed any longer."

In other words, either march westward to regain Henan Prefecture from the puppet Qi and make Luoyang, the capital of Xijing.

Either make Daxing Prefecture the capital directly. As the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, Daxing Prefecture has much better infrastructure than Penglai, and it is not considered a construction from scratch.

"I don't want future generations to say that the capital I chose has limitations hundreds of years from now." Liu Xinqi said helplessly.

But nothing in the world is perfect.

"The State of Zhao has five capitals in the southeast, northwest, and middle, and the State of Jin has six capitals in the southeast, northwest, and middle. Since you are more optimistic about Jiankang Prefecture, why not use Daxing Prefecture as Beijing?" Xu Zhong asked.

One country, several capitals, Liu Xinqi, who came from later generations, really cannot accept it.

He was confident that wired telegraphy would be developed within ten years, so long-distance communication would not become an obstacle to rule. There was no need to build several deputy capitals.

But reality is always cruel, and everything cannot be done as one wishes.

"It makes sense. Five or six capitals are too unrealistic, but it is still acceptable to have a deputy political center." Liu Xinqi replied.

As mentioned before, Jiankang Prefecture is located in the south, which is not conducive to ruling the northern territory. Daxing Prefecture as Beijing can well make up for this shortcoming.

just!One Nanjing and one Beijing have returned to their destined place names.There is some destiny that brings these two names back to their right places...

"Then it's decided to move the capital to Daxing Mansion?" Xu Zhong asked in confirmation.

If you plan to move the capital, preliminary intelligence work must begin. As the head of the internal intelligence department, you must keep a close eye on the surroundings of Daxing Prefecture.

"It's settled, there's no point in worrying about it. There are pros and cons to each choice. In this case, make good use of the advantages, and find ways to solve the disadvantages." Liu Xinqi raised his hand and rubbed his face, and spent this time struggling. The problem comes to an end.

In later generations, the sandstorms in Beijing filled the surrounding area with trees and wiped out the entire desert.

In later generations, when Beijing was short of water, it diverted water from the south to the north, costing hundreds of billions.

Besides, this will all happen decades or hundreds of years later. It doesn’t matter whether I will be there or not at that time.

Isn't there a famous saying in later generations: "After I die, I won't care about the flood behind me."

Liu Xinqi comforted himself for a while, gathered his thoughts, and found that Xu Zhong was still waiting next to him.

"Is there a problem?"

"Information from the south indicates that the Southern Zhao court has made another move." Xu Zhong replied.

"What action?"

First, they assassinated the Emperor of Southern Zhao, and then kidnapped a large grain merchant. The Xinghan League made waves in Hangzhou, and made the forces in Hangzhou truly aware of the Xinghan League.

Some more flexible families have begun to invest in both directions, leaving themselves a way out.

This made the Xinghan League's intelligence work in the Southern Zhao court much smoother.

The court that was completely closed to Zhao Nan in the past is now open. Zhao Nan can get a record of everything discussed in the court of Nan Zhao afterwards.

"It is estimated that the last kidnapping of grain merchants made the Southern Zhao officials realize their precarious situation. Recently, they have had close contacts with several countries around our Xinghan Alliance." Xu Zhong replied: "We captured some envoys and found out that Nan Zhao was in the country again. Together vertically and horizontally.”

Since the last time Zhao Nan caught people's tongues on a large scale, the Xinghan League has become much more aggressive with Nan Zhao's intelligence work. They arrest people at every turn and then release them after questioning them without fear of Nan Zhao's anger.

Correspondingly, as soon as Zhao Nan's soldiers go out, Nan Zhao's spies will follow them, blatantly, and after one wave, there will be another wave.

Relations between the two parties are now tense.

"Tell me more specifically," Liu Xin said.

"Nan Zhao contacted Jin, Mongolia, Xiliao and Xixia, as well as Goryeo and Japan, and introduced them to the threat of the Xinghan Alliance. He proposed to establish an anti-Han alliance. As long as our Xinghan Alliance attacks any force , other forces must be dispatched together to threaten the rear of the Xinghan League, so that the Xinghan League has to retreat."

This is intended to be a siege.

"How did these countries respond?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"I have received replies from the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo. These two countries are more inclined to agree. The other countries have not intercepted the information, and I don't know what the status is yet. But I think Xiliao will not participate, he is too far away . I can’t say for sure about Xixia and Mongolia. Our Xinghan Alliance has not yet had contact with these two forces."
