Chapter 391 Moving the Capital
When the emperor of the Chinese Empire, the great emperor Zhang Shicheng, was still worried about the war in the north, he did not know that his brave general Chang Yuchun had completed the task of defeating the Tutars of the Yuan Dynasty.
Dadu has fallen into the hands of Chang Yuchun. Shangdu has also been taken down by him and went hundreds of miles away. He did not get the life of Tohuan Timur, but slightly destroyed the expansion Timur.
Now, in Jiangbei, there is no more power to compete with Zhang Shicheng.
If you want to say yes, there is also one, Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er.
Although Liu Futong is gone, because the Tatsars began to make internal trouble, Xiaomingwang, the fateful emperor, has lived until now, but his power has contracted sharply.
There are few counties and not many troops. Han Lin'er is essentially just a weak ordinary person. It was Liu Futong who helped Han Lin'er into the position. As soon as Liu Futong left, Han Lin'er was completely lonely.
And now, it is even more at the end of the road, and the tars have been killed by Chang Yuchun.
Will Chang Yuchun let himself go? Although Han Lin'er is naive, she also knows that her situation is very dangerous.
Han Lin'er is not stupid either. He knows that there is only one way to live: to hide his name and become an ordinary person.
So, in a late night, Han Lin'er and her mother, with gold and silver, left their dragon chair and the humble palace, and disappeared.
He was right. Less than ten days after he left, the army sent by Chang Yuchun had arrived at his base. Those ministers and others who were still kept were all taken away by Chang Yuchun.
Chang Yuchun knew that although the eldest brother was very dissatisfied with his killing, there were some things he had to do for the eldest brother, such as killing this inconspicuous regime. And those ministers were handed over to the eldest brother. He didn't want to touch anything else.
After returning to the capital, Chang Yuchun sent people to report all his actions to the southern regime.
Knowing that the north was flat, Zhang Yang was immediately very happy that the Tartars were destroyed so easily. Then, his Chinese empire really stood on the land of China. Looking around, no force could compete with him. He was already a well-deserved emperor here.
Zhang Yang immediately began to plan the relocation of the capital.
In Zhang Yang's heart, the north is the most important thing. Although the south of the Yangtze River is good, the north is the right choice to build the capital. He can definitely build most of the capital into Yanjing of future generations!
Unexpectedly, his idea was unanimously opposed by Liu Bowen and others.
Jiangnan has been the hometown of fish and rice since ancient times. The food here is very sufficient, and there is no danger of starvation at any time like the north. Moreover, most of them will face the invasion of nomads in the north at any time. Building a capital there is not as good as the south.
Zhang Yang has always insisted that he must move the capital to most of them! Moreover, most of them will be renamed Yanjing!
Zhang Yang knew what his subordinates meant, but this strengthened his determination to move the capital.
As the saying goes, business women do not know the hatred of the subjugation of the country, and they still sing ** across the river. The south of the Yangtze River is good. As the old saying goes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This is a prosperous place, and it is also the most easily addicted place for people.
Then, I'm afraid that when it comes to his next generation, he will be addicted to gold here. It is absolutely inappropriate for the country to be happy.
And the north has been the cradle of the Chinese nation since ancient times.
In ancient times, the Central Plains, the Yellow River Basin, did not belong to the north, but to the center. It is also the cradle of Chinese civilization.
Later, after the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wuhu was in chaos, and the capital was forced to move to the south of the Yangtze River for the first time.
At that time, the center of the orientation was the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin. After the chaos of China, the center of the economy began to migrate east and south, but the Central Plains still had great advantages. So later, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the center was in the Central Plains. Due to the repeated breaches of the Yellow River, it is not appropriate to build on the edge of the Yellow River.
And most of them are definitely a good place. To the east, it is Bohai Bay. Water transportation is convenient, and there are two peninsula arch guards. As long as you guard it firmly, you will not be afraid of a strong navy to invade.
Although the southern coast is developed, the strategic depth is too shallow. Zhang Feng knows that it will be the era of the ocean in the future, so he has been building a powerful fleet. Similarly, he also needs a strong coastal defense.
Of course, this reason cannot be taken out at present.
There are timber in the northeast, iron mines in Shanxi, and coal mines in Shanxi, and Yanjing is a very suitable place. It is Zhang Feng's greatest wish to use these resources to establish an industrialized country as soon as possible.
It is only in the initial stage to transform China into the most powerful country, so that the world is full of flags of the Chinese Empire, which is worthy of his identity as a person who has traveled through time!
Under Zhang Yang's repeated persistence, the officials had to pack their bags and prepare to move north.
Zhang Yang guessed it well. Although his officials were still relatively incorruptible, after coming to the big cities of Pingjiang, Hangzhou, they got used to the prosperity here and began to not want to live that kind of hard life. This is a bad signal.
Once you start to get used to this kind of life, it will slowly deteriorate in the future.
In March, the Bohai Sea had already thawed. Zhang Yang asked some officials to travel north. He was a warship for the navy, from the sea to Tanggu, and then to Dadu.
At this time, the navy has begun to replace the medium-sized treasure ship, and the large treasure ship has also begun construction.
In order to cooperate with large treasure ships, steam engines and new artillery, they have been successfully tested. After this treasure ship is launched, it can be said that even if it sails around the world, there is no force that can stop it.
Correspondingly, Zhang Yang has begun to explain the global knowledge to the navy, the land in the ocean, which is the richest, the South Ocean is only a small piece, and the Americas is a new continent to be developed, which can go around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern end of Africa to Europe, those white-skinned and blue-eyed foreigners.
The water army has slowly erected a global consciousness under his encouragement, which is also Zhang Yang's purpose, the whole world!
There are waves on the sea, and the fresh sea breeze is blowing. Facing the morning sun in the east, the water army is going north.
Chang Yuchun has managed most of the city in an orderly manner. Waiting for his arrival, the palace of the Tatars is also decorated with lanterns and is ready to welcome the arrival of the new owner.
At this time, in the shipyard, a woman with a big belly was directing the construction of the workers.
After the marriage of Zu Qing and Zhang Yang, they are pregnant, but they are still busy in the shipyard, looking forward to the large treasure ship being put into the water as soon as possible.
