Chapter 354: The battle to move 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. dragon. altar. Book. net
However, what made the ministers find it incredible was that originally the three princes and nine ministers were basically opposed to moving the capital, but after private discussions this time, they all tacitly agreed to move the capital.
How is this going?
Why are all the adults messing around with His Majesty?
The officials who were not left behind couldn't 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. They can naturally see whether the "Gaozu's plan" is feasible. Although the risks are high, for the current Han Dynasty, it is indeed the last glimmer of hope, so how can they oppose it.
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 is the same whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Yellow Turban. The reserves of ordinary people are basically expropriated, and only basic rations are allowed to be retained. Necessary labor will also be forcibly recruited.
Doing this will lose the hearts of the people 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 is the use of having the hearts of the people 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 court did not build the grain depot in Luoyang seemed to be because they had a premonition that 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 biggest impact was not on ordinary people, but on the Luoyang aristocratic family.
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 people did not have the ability to go alone, so if the court did not force migration, the people would 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. After going to Guanzhong, they will definitely be jointly exploited by the local aristocratic families.
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 had already been on the Yellow Turban death list. Once Luoyang was captured, only death awaited them, so they could only go to Chang'an with the court.
The imperial court originally did not want to make a big move this time, but with the addition of aristocratic families, the migration team also became larger.
Sili is composed of Guanzhong and Heluo. Heluo is Sizhou and has four counties, namely Henan Yin, Hanei, Hedong and Hongnong.
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 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 the world's aristocratic families, including not only the Kansai aristocratic families, but also the Guandong aristocratic families. 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 look like a fool's errand to everyone 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, don't worry. 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 when it reached 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 went so far as to attack 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 capital relocation.
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 of the four princes including Qin Wen of Hulao Pass 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 if this decision was right, but it had to be done.
Once 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 defended?
This is a dead end with no solution.
As the saying goes: Blessings come from disasters, 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, the big man would not be in the current 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 immediately surprised and said: "Your Majesty, this is good news. The champion Hou Qinhao defeated Huang Chao's 200,000 army in Kaifeng, killing more than 100,000 enemies."
