Chapter 730
Is it still Chang'an or Luoyang? It's a really complicated issue.
When Liu Bangding, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, set the world, the first choice in his heart was Luoyang, not Chang'an. Liu Bang felt that the Qin Dynasty was set to be the capital of Guanzhong, but it fell so quickly. It's a bit of a bad life. And Luoyang is also one of the largest cities in the world. It is also the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Zhou Tianzi has lived here for hundreds of years, which is a good sign, compared to the short-lived Qin Dynasty, I don't know how much better it is.
Most of the people in Liu Bang Group also support Liu Bang's opinion and think that it is good to set Luoyang. Guanzhong is unlucky. As a result, just when Liu Bang was about to make a decision, the two of them changed Liu Bang's opinion.
The first is Lou Jing. Lou Jing said that Luoyang is not good, although Zhou Tianzi has been here for hundreds of years, but when it is strong, the princes come to the court; When he was weak, the Zhou family could not control the princes. Guanzhong is different. "Qindi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the four stoppers think that they are solid, and there is an emergency, and millions of people can have it. Because of Qin, the land of wealth is very beautiful, and this so-called Tianfu is also. Your Majesty enters the customs and the capital, although Shandong is chaotic, the hometown of Qin can be all and ......"
The meaning of the words is that it is better to set the capital of Guanzhong, in case there is something in the world and Shandong rebels, and he can also hold the basic plate of Guanzhong, and then try to fight back.
Liu Bang hesitated, so he asked his think tank Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang also agreed with Lou Jing's opinion: "Although Luoyang has such a solid land, which is small, it is only hundreds of miles, the fields are thin, and the enemy is surrounded by enemies, and this is not a country that uses force." Fuguan in the left Kuohan, right Longshu, fertile thousands of miles, the south has the Rao of Bashu, the north has the benefits of Hu Yuan, blocking three sides and guarding, only one side of the east system of the princes. The princes are stable, the river Wei Cao saves the world, and the west is given to the Beijing division; The princes have changed, and they go down the river, which is enough to entrust and lose. This so-called golden city is thousands of miles, and the country of abundance is also, Liu Jing said yes. ”
As soon as Liu Bang heard this, he decided to make Chang'an the capital without hesitation. Since then, the Western Han Dynasty has been here for more than 200 years. By the time of Emperor Guangwu, it was still the capital of Chang'an or the capital of Luoyang, which became a difficult choice again.
In the end, after repeated trade-offs, Liu Xiu did not choose Chang'an, but decided to set the capital Luoyang. This is considered from the political, economic, military and other aspects.
Liu Xiu started in Nanyang, and most of the hero groups around him are Wanluo factions, so people naturally don't want to enter the customs, but want to be on their own territory. Liu Xiu's basic plate is in Nanyang and Luoyang, so he is emotionally biased towards Luoyang. Moreover, Luoyang itself is a big city, and it also existed as a companion in the Western Han Dynasty. There is no political obstacle to choosing Luoyang, the capital of Ding.
In addition, after the great turmoil in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an has been ruined, the rich and the common people have fled, and Guanzhong is almost in ruins. Liu Xiu Group has just pacified the world, and it is very poor at hand, so it can save a little bit, where is it willing to spend a huge amount of money to rebuild the Chang'an Palace. Moreover, Luoyang is in the middle of the world, and there are big rivers and Luoshui to transport the world's materials, which is conducive to the economic development of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The most important thing is that the newly established regime is still relatively weak, and defending Luoyang has more advantages than Chang'an in terms of strategic defense.
Liu Xiu is also a famous lord of a generation, known as the son of the plane. He also made the decision after repeated weighing and calculation. Undoubtedly, this decision is relatively correct. If you really choose to set the capital of Chang'an, I am afraid that you will immediately fall into the quagmire of foreign wars.
Now, this question is Liu Bei's turn to make a choice. Liu Bei's heart is actually more inclined to Chang'an. But he felt that if he listened partially, it would be dark, and if he listened to both, it would be clear. The more serious the problem, the more you can't just go your own way. When it comes to the fortunes of the country, he naturally has to be cautious.
Jia Xu thought about it for a while, and said: "Luoyang is in the center, blocking the valley in the west, looking at Jingshan in the east, looking at Shaoshu in the south, and there are three rivers in the north. Its rivers and mountains are arched, and the shape is better than the world. If the king has his capital here, he can control the world remotely. It is actually the choice above the imperial capital. However, Chang'an has a river blocking the mountain, hanging thousands of miles away, and after the king is King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, and Chang'an, it is also right. ”
Liu Bei understood, Jia Xu meant that Luoyang was very good, and Chang'an was also very good. Luoyang saves trouble and money. However, Liu Xiu of Luoyang, the capital of Dingdu, is the first line of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, and you Liu Bei is the first line of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, if you want to fight for your ancestors, it is not bad to go to Chang'an. Dingdu Luoyang is also OK, and the reason for Dingdu Chang'an is also sufficient enough for no one to stop, where to go, you can do it yourself. It's like talking a bunch of nonsense, what an old fox.
Xun You considered it from another angle, and still suggested that Liu Bei return to Luoyang: "Chang'an is broken, and there are Qiang Hu in Hexi. When the Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang. ”
Liu Bei sighed in his heart, and then took his eyes to look at the two cheap sons-in-law.
Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's eyes, raised his hand, and said calmly: "Lord, according to the minister's opinion, you should return the capital to Chang'an!" Since Huan Ling, the world has been in turmoil, first there is a yellow scarf, and then there is Dong Zhuo. The princes are chaotic and divide one side. Not by the order of the Son of Heaven for a long time. If there is no lord, the world does not know how many people are called emperors and how many people are kings. The main Han clan relatives, with their own strength, continue the Han Dynasty. When the capital is returned to Chang'an, in order to sue the high temple.
And the Son of Heaven guards Chang'an, the elite soldiers will guard the left and right, Qianghu will be harmless, and Liangzhou will be completely peaceful. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes lit up, Kong Ming deserved to be Kong Ming. Let yourself return to Chang'an, from a political point of view, it has propaganda significance. Let the world know that it is he Liu Bei, not Liu Xiu's descendants, who is stabilizing the world. In addition, Qianghu is also an important issue.
Xun You wanted to prevent Qianghu, but Zhuge Liang wanted to completely cut off the harm of Qianghu. Since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang chaos in Guanzhong and Liangzhou has been completely out of control. Someone once said that the Eastern Han Dynasty died in the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion, although it is biased, but it is not completely unreasonable.
Looking at the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, we can see that the records of the use of troops in Liangzhou Qianghu are frequent, as well as the money over the years, which is hundreds of millions at every turn. Later, some ministers even directly suggested that the emperor give up Liangzhou. This huge military expenditure, the imperial court really can't afford it, this Liangzhou is a barren land anyway, so let it be left to Qianghu. Fortunately, there are clear brains and strongly oppose it, otherwise such a large piece of land will really be thrown away.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war against Qianghu was fought intermittently for more than 100 years. In the Western Han Dynasty, there is no such problem, why? It's not because the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, and the elite forbidden army guards the vicinity, and Qiang Hu Danfan is a little moved, so he was immediately suppressed.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhuge Liang is necessarily better than Xun You. Xun You is almost thirty years older than Zhuge Liang, and he tends to be more conservative in thought. And Zhuge Liang is in high spirits, and his personality is, of course, more aggressive.
Liu Bei's thoughts kept spinning, and his fingers were unconsciously hitting the table. He hummed and looked at Lu Yi again with an expressionless face.
