(ps: Today’s fourth update, welcome to watch...) Xun Chen first said: "My lord, the situation in the world has basically been determined. Our army Ma Teng, Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei have become emperors, and the Han Dynasty has completely collapsed.
. I thought
, the lord, with his mighty talent, conquered Hebei, and now he has pacified the Central Plains. Compared with the other three families who claimed to be emperor, he is far superior to them. His subordinates thought that the lord should be crowned the Ninth Five Emperors as soon as possible, so that he could be superior to others.
Above all other kings."
Since Liu Zhang and Liu Bei proclaimed themselves emperors, the news spread to the Yan State. Everyone in the Yan State seemed a little impetuous. In terms of strength, territory, economy, and population, the Yan State far surpassed them. If they did not proclaim themselves emperor, it seemed to be natural.
Things that cannot be tolerated. Therefore, Xun Chen’s views largely represent the aspirations of the entire Yan Kingdom.
Gao Fei remained calm, turned to look at Xun You, and asked, "What do you think of Gongda?"
Xun You said slowly: "Proclaiming the emperor is inevitable, but the top priority is not to proclaim the emperor, but how to solve the problems left after the war. Xuzhou and Qingzhou were not greatly affected, but Yanzhou was the main battlefield to destroy Wei this time.
Although it is said that our army won by luck and drove Cao Cao away in a short time, Yanzhou will inevitably
It is the place where Cao Cao made his fortune, and the power of Cao Wei was deeply entrenched here and it was difficult to heal it for a while. In addition, Runan, Chen County, Qiao County, and Liang County in Yuzhou all suffered from severe drought last year, causing the people to have no harvest and barely survive.
Japan, therefore, I believe that the top priority should be on how to restore production and regain people's hearts after the war."
Gao Fei nodded, expressing satisfaction with Xun You's answer.
Guo Jia then said: "In addition, the land of Luoyang and the capital from the west of Hulao Pass, to the east of Hangu Pass, to the south of Mengjin, and to the north of Xuanyuan Pass is still barren. My subordinates think that this
It was a place made in heaven, and now it has
Since all the money belongs to me, Dayan, we should try our best to restore its former prosperity. I think back then, Luoyang was extremely prosperous, but it was burned to ashes by a fire and the people were displaced. How to restore the prosperity of Luoyang is also imperative. "
Jia Xu finally said: "In general, there are three major events at present, one is to proclaim the emperor, the other is to recover after the war, and the third is to appease the people. The Central Plains has been a must-win area since ancient times. The right way is that whoever wins the Central Plains will win the world.
In addition, most of the Central Plains is plains and there are countless fertile fields. Once it is truly restored, it will inevitably become the country of Yan.
Another large grain-producing base. My subordinates believe that we should follow the policy of seizing Hebei and exempt the Central Plains from taxes for three years, encourage agricultural survival, build water conservancy projects, and reclaim wasteland. The army can also establish military camps, and appoint capable officials to important positions in various places.
Three years from now, the Central Plains will definitely have a new look."
After listening to the different opinions of the four people, Gao Fei felt that they were all useful, and these were also what he was thinking about.
This area of the Central Plains is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and was regarded by the Chinese nation as the center of the world in ancient times.
Dayu controlled the floods and divided the world into nine states, with Yuzhou as the center of the world, and then the large area of plains around Yuzhou was collectively called the Central Plains. The political, economic and cultural center for most of Chinese history was in the Central Plains area of the Yellow River Basin.
, Only by competing in the Central Plains can the world be established. Except for the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China, all
It was believed that the dynasty that incorporated the Central Plains into its territory was the orthodox dynasty of China. Later Mongol rulers and Manchu rulers believed that the dynasty that incorporated the Central Plains into its territory was the orthodox dynasty of China, rather than only ruling the old Mongolian lands or the Manchus (Jurchens)
The Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty that unified China were established respectively.
In other words, whoever wins the Central Plains will win the world.
Now, Gao Fei has completely occupied the Central Plains, doubling the territory of the Yan State. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yan State occupied the thirteen states in the world, Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou,
Xuzhou, Yuzhou and some of the Sili in the Luoyang capital area were so large that they dominated the world. Ma Teng, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Shi Xie who were far away in Jiaozhou could not catch up with them.
Gao Fei has been thinking hard. He doesn't need to worry too much about how to govern the Central Plains, because as long as he implements benevolent policies, he will be recognized by the people. In this era, agriculture is still the mainstay, and food is the most important thing for the people.
Without food, everything is just a fantasy. Therefore, the development of agriculture is inevitable and the most important. However, while developing agriculture, its industry should not be left behind. In addition, the military forces consumed after the war need to be replenished.
As well as a slight lack of talent, these things troubled him.
"Then, let's settle it like this first. To stabilize Hebei, we don't need too many troops. However, the Central Plains is different. We need more troops to guard it, and we need someone with an overall view to take charge here. I want to start from the four of you.
Let the four of you choose among them." Gao Fei thought for a long time before he said.
Xun You, Guo Jia, and Xun Chen said in unison: "We believe that the general military advisor is talented enough to take on this important task!"
Gao Fei glanced at Jia Xu and asked, "Commander, do you have any suitable candidates?"
"My lord, Wen He Mao has recommended himself." Jia Xu said without hesitation, clasping his fists.
Gao Fei said: "Hebei is stable and has formed a custom. Some things have been agreed upon and become customs. Moreover, the harm caused to Jizhou when Zhao was destroyed has been made up for. What I mean is that the four of you stay in the Central Plains together.
Let’s work together to restore the Central Plains, with the military advisor as the leader and the three of you as assistants, each governing a state. What do you think?”
After the four people looked at each other, they replied in unison: "I will definitely do my best!"
Gao Fei said: "Very good, then... Jia Wenhe will be appointed as the governor of Yanzhou and the governor of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou. Guo Fengxiao will be appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, Xun Youruo will be appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, and Xun Gongda will be appointed as the governor of Yuzhou. In addition, Zang Ba will be appointed as the governor of Yanzhou."
As the general of Zhendong, he will command Qingzhou. All the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou will work together to serve Qingzhou and serve as filial piety. If you are a friend, you will jointly govern Qingzhou and Xuzhou."
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei turned around and said to the secretary Chen Lin behind him: "Draw up the document immediately and make it public."
"No!" Chen Lin waved her ink like rain without hesitation, and her pen moved like a dragon and a snake.
Gao Fei then said: "In addition, I have one more important thing to talk about, which is the matter of moving the capital..."
"Move the capital?" Everyone present could not help but be startled.
"Well, the north is stable, and Jicheng is too far away from the Central Plains to rule the newly occupied area. In order to strengthen my rule, I decided to move the capital to the Central Plains." Gao Fei said this after careful consideration.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was located in Jicheng, Youzhou. From a geographical point of view, in today's Beijing area, it is far away from the newly occupied areas, which is not conducive to the stability and development of the Central Plains region. It is also located in a frontier. Although Gao Fei's early preparations,
It invigorated the economy of the northern area and made Jicheng a place with relatively developed commerce. However, it was still in a remote location, so it was imperative to move the capital.
So where to move?
This is more critical. There are several cities in Gao Fei's heart: first is Xu County. Following the example of Cao Cao in history, he built Xu County as his capital and made Xu County his capital.
Especially in the current situation of capturing Yuzhou, establishing Xu County as the capital has the following advantages. First, the capital is located in front, which is conducive to defense, such as the historical move of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty to move the capital to Beijing, and Xuchang is located on the three fronts of the Yan State.
In the middle stage, Wenpin successfully captured Nanyang Wancheng, which basically opened up the depth of the frontier strategy for Xu County, greatly increasing the possibility of Xu County becoming the capital.
The second is Yecheng. From a geographical point of view, Yecheng is actually not far from the Yellow River to the south, and through Yuan Shao's management, it has become the first strong city in Hebei. It is also in the center of the entire Yan State's current territory, with good radiation in all directions, which is conducive to
Business.
The third is Luoyang. Luoyang has an advantageous geographical location and is considered the land of Longxing. In addition, there were two Central Plains Wars instigated and launched by Gao Fei, both of which surrounded Luoyang. Therefore, in Gao Fei's heart, he felt very ashamed.
People in Luoyang area.
Moreover, Luoyang is blocked by passes on all sides. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. To the west, it can deter the Qin army in Guanzhong, to the south, it can form a confrontation with the Han Dynasty in Jingzhou, to the north, it can suppress the Huns who are not yet stable in Bingzhou, and to the east, it can
Overlooking Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou, it is the first location.
In doing so, Gao Fei followed the example of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He took Hebei as the base and Luoyang as the imperial capital, and sent powerful generals to conquer the world. Moving the capital was conducive to stabilizing the Central Plains, and was conducive to future domination of the world, so that the imperial decree could be quickly implemented
spread to all directions.
After hearing this, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You and Xun Chen all looked at each other. They saw Gao Fei's confident look and understood everything.
"I wonder if my lord has any suitable place in his heart?" Jia Xu asked first.
"I'm going to move the capital to Luoyang."
"Luoyang is dilapidated and has been reduced to ruins. However, its geographical location is very advantageous. If the capital is to be moved to Luoyang, a city must be built on top of the ruins. Otherwise, why would Luoyang be the capital?" Xun Chen said.
"My lord, you can imitate Jicheng and order Sun Rui to build the imperial capital in Luoyang. With Sun Rui's experience in building the city, you will definitely be able to build a magnificent imperial capital again," Xun You said.
"Yeah, very good."
After the meeting, the basic doubts have been lifted. As for when Gao Fei will proclaim himself emperor, no clear date is given, which undoubtedly makes the civil and military officers quite puzzled. Logically speaking, proclaiming himself emperor is inevitable, but Gao Fei just doesn't say anything.
, he is completely different from the Gao Fei who was the first to become king in the past.
On the third day of August, Gao Fei took his troops from the Central Plains. He said he was a squadron, but in fact he only took more than a hundred cavalry. He left all 300,000 troops in the Central Plains to carry out drastic reforms and preparations for the Central Plains. At the same time, in order to stabilize the border
, Gao Fei transferred Han Meng back to Bingzhou and continued to serve as the governor of Bingzhou. He also asked Han Meng to send troops to occupy Hedong County, firmly controlling half of the "Ji"-shaped Yellow River.
Half a month later, Gao Fei returned to Jicheng with a tired heart. Once he arrived at the boundary of Jicheng, he didn't even enter the city. Instead, he asked a captain guarding the city gate to take him to Gongshu Fei.
