Chapter 341: The Battle for the Dingdu
Thanks to the angelic kamikaze brothers for the two monthly tickets, thanks, Messiah. Two monthly tickets voted by brothers!
The original idea of the Yongle Emperor can undoubtedly be regarded as successful from the final decline of the Mongols, but it is precisely because of this that the Ming and Mongolian countries have been fighting endlessly for more than 200 years, which shows that the upper echelons of the dynasty and Mongolia have always focused on each other, which gave the Manchu Qing a chance to rise.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty can be said to be very favored by God, not to mention that at the beginning of their army, the Ming and Mongolia were greatly injured because of the long-term continuous war, but they couldn't see it on the outside.
Later, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Wu Sangui was voted into the Central Plains, not to mention, Li Zicheng's army, and inexplicably got the plague, and the army was able to fight less than one in ten, and finally lost to the Manchu Qing in a stone, and the Han nation has been handed over for three hundred years.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Beijing was positioned as the capital, one of which was because this was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the banner played by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the early days was to avenge the Ming Emperor.
Second, like the Mongols, Beijing was very close to the three eastern provinces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if something went wrong, the Manchus could evacuate from Guannai as soon as possible and return to their hometowns.
Third, that is, after the establishment of the development of the Mengyuan and Ming dynasties, Beijing can be said to be the economic center of gravity of the entire north, and its prosperity can be said to be unique in the north, so the three points are the reasons why the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally decided to be the capital and Beijing.
The three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties set up their capital in Beijing, which can be said to have their own political and other considerations, but what about Cao Cao, what did he do in Beijing, there were no Mongols who still ruled the entire grassland outside Beijing at this time, but surrendered to the Great Wei and became the lackeys of the Wei State Xianbei Budugen and the three Wuhuan, as well as the northern capital protectorate set up by Cao Cao himself. It is not at all appropriate to make it the capital.
At this time, the capital of Beijing was undoubtedly the most unwise choice, and after the most famous capital on the land of China was crossed out in later generations, Cao Cao really did not know where to serve as the capital of a country.
It is not for nothing that this era is the most suitable for being the capital. For example, Luoyang and Chang'an, these two cities were the capitals of the Han Empire for more than 200 years, and it can be said that it is very good to serve as the capital of Wei.
However. Not to mention that Luoyang is the only place left by Emperor Han Xian now, and it does not belong to Cao Cao in name, Cao Cao really can't force Emperor Han Xian to give this place to himself because of Luoyang.
In this way, the appearance of eating is too ugly, which is too embarrassing for the Chinese people who already regard themselves as people in the civilized world, such a move can only be done by those barbarians in the north, Cao Cao does not want to be pointed at his back and scolded by barbarians in the future. He still attaches great importance to his identity as a civilized person.
Well, in fact, the real reason for Cao Cao to give up is that Luoyang is too dilapidated, as the capital of a country, the current Luoyang is not suitable at all, if Luoyang is really forcibly positioned as the capital, then it is inevitable to spend huge financial resources to renovate it, in this matter, even if Cao Cao wants to oppose it, he has no reason. There is no way to object.
After Luoyang was kicked out, Cao Cao thought of Chang'an, Guanzhong Plain, Guanzhong at this time was not the place where yellow sand flew all over the sky. At this time, Guanzhong, said that the green trees into the forest is a little too much, but it is absolutely not too much to say that the fertile field is thousands of miles, the Qin Dynasty has ruled for hundreds of years, and Guanzhong can be said to be very well repaired, and Guanzhong is Bashu at this time. It is the foundation of the real emperor.
After all, the Qin Dynasty relied on the grain produced by these two lands in the past, and waved troops to unify the world, plus Guanzhong Chang'an has the risk of three passes, and the blessing of Longshan can be said to be the best advantage.
In addition, Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, and the identity of the Guanzhong people has undoubtedly improved, you must know that since the Warring States Period, although people all over the world clearly understand that both Guanzhong people and Kwantung people are Chinese people, and they are all of the same nation, but some prejudices still exist.
For the literati of Kanto, they have some looks down on the warriors of Guanzhong in their hearts, if Cao Cao sets the capital of Guanzhong, as a person from the capital, the identity of the warriors in Guanzhong can be compared to the literati of Kanto no matter what.
The strength of the Western Han Dynasty, in Cao Cao's view, is partly because the civil and military forces in the Western Han Dynasty were equal in terms of status and status, and the civil and military disputes were not too fierce, otherwise no matter how majestic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, the first thing he had to do was not to go north to conquer the Huns, but how to calm down the civil and military disputes within his court.
The civil and military battles in the Western Han Dynasty are not too intense, but the Eastern Han Dynasty is not, due to the Dingdu Luoyang, the Guanzhong warriors who have lost the identity of the capital, their status is inevitably reduced, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the eunuchs and relatives, the battle between the civil and military is more intense, just like the old days, after hearing that Dong Zhuo's identity is the martial artist of Xiliang, these civil ministers, the first feeling in their hearts is disdain and disdain.
Dingdu Chang'an, it can be said that he has obtained the advantages of geography and people, however, when Cao Cao said the words of Dingdu Chang'an, what he got was not consent, but fierce opposition.
"Your Majesty, Chang'an is still in the midst of war at this time, how can the capital of a country be disturbed by the flames of war, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to set the capital of Chang'an!"
"Your Majesty, although Chang'an is good, but at this time it is still in the midst of war, plus the king is the king of Wei, and the country built by the king is the Wei state, according to the minister's view, according to the ancient teachings, the capital of Wei at the time of the Warring States period is Liang, that is, the Chen capital at this time is the capital of my Great Wei!"
"Your Majesty, Chen Capital is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by all directions, plus the king has been running Chen Capital for a long time, and Chen Capital is the country of Wei during the Warring States Period, the king is the king of Wei, and the country established is the Wei State, with Chen Capital as the capital, it is the best choice!"
Cao Cao set the capital of Chang'an, for these scholars, they absolutely do not want to see, during the Western Han Dynasty, the status of the warriors was compared with the literati, and sometimes even surpassed the literati, which is absolutely intolerable for these scholars, the Western Han Dynasty, but there can be no two!
"Hmph, although Chen Du is good, but not to mention the Han Tianzi in Chen Du, just say that Chen Du himself, although he is in the Central Plains, but it is precisely because of this that Chen Du is a place where soldiers must fight, plus the Central Plains are all flat land, there is no danger to defend at all, and Chang'an is different, whether it is the danger of the three passes or the blessing of Longshan, it is all a place where a husband can not open a thousand people, the king, according to the last general, the capital of Chang'an, Fang is the best choice!"
Wenchen is reluctant to set the capital of Chang'an, but the generals are different, it is related to the status of the generals in the future, as the head of the generals, Cao Ren, a colleague of Cao Cao's same clan, personally went into battle. (To be continued.) )
