Liu Ling's palace in Jinzhou was actually the general's yamen of General Meng Hu of Youweiwei in Jinzhou. The residence of General Youweiwei, Liu Ling, was assigned to the Supervisory Yuan. That place was wider than the deserted yamen courtyard.
There are many, and they are much more luxurious. However, Liu Ling doesn't really like the excitement. He prefers to sit quietly under the window and read a book, or walk with his women in the small garden.
There are three yamen in Jinzhou City. One is the general yamen where Liu Ling's family currently lives, the second is the yamen of the state government, and the third is the yamen of the patrol army and horse department. Before the city of Jinzhou was destroyed, those who could escape
Almost all the officials of the Zhou Dynasty have fled. Today, a large part of the officials in Jinzhou are people selected by Liu Ling from the army. Some are sent from the Han Dynasty, and some are selected from Jinzhou.
Liu Ling returned to Jinzhou. After hundreds of officials welcomed him into the city, they followed him to the Supervisory Yuan because the place was big enough. In fact, except for some major officials, most of the officials arrived at the Supervisory Yuan and Liu Ling comforted him with a few words.
After that, they dispersed to perform their own duties. After all, Jinzhou is now a transit point for the Han Dynasty. In terms of role, it is more important than Luoyang, Xijing, which was just conquered. It is even only stronger than Taiyuan. Jinzhou passes through Mongolia
After several years of operation, Hu's city defense is no less strong than Taiyuan Prefecture. But in terms of regional security, it is much stronger than Taiyuan Prefecture. After all, Datong Prefecture in Xijing of Daliao is too close to Taiyuan.
Well, there are now no less than 100,000 troops stationed in Datong, Xijing.
This time Liu Ling transferred Zhou Yangong and Hou Shen to Jinzhou to prepare for moving the capital. Taiyuan Mansion can be used as a military town, but it is no longer suitable as an imperial capital. Liu Ling had an idea before, and now it is possible
It’s time to implement.
In the large living room of the Supervisory Yuan, Liu Ling sat at the top and took a sip of the fragrant hot food. The fatigue on his body was diluted a bit. The tea was brewed just right, and some salt and spices were added. Not only did the tea leaves not become
The original aroma is masked, but the aroma of the tea soup is more mellow. Making tea is a craft, and it is not just about boiling a pot of water.
"Gong Zhou Yan, Hou Shen, since you two have arrived in Jinzhou, you should establish the imperial organization as soon as possible. The matter of moving the capital is imminent. Since the matter is serious, you two should consider it."
Hou Shen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, although the city of Jinzhou is strong, it is too small. Now the yamen of the imperial court have not been moved here and it is already a bit crowded. If we wait for the imperial court to move here, I am afraid it will be difficult to move around.
Wei Chen still suggested moving the capital to Luoyang. Luoyang has been extremely important since the Han Dynasty and is more suitable to be the capital than Jinzhou."
Zhou Yanggong said: "I don't think so. Although Luoyang was the Western Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the old capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the city has long been in disrepair. If it was still suitable to be a capital, the center of power of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not be in Kaifeng.
Luoyang has been abandoned for too long. The new capital must have a new atmosphere and not be contaminated with the old smell. Although Jinzhou is small, it should be enough as a transitional temporary capital. I think... the prince will not
By setting the capital here forever, the prince's vision should be set further."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Whether it's Jinzhou or Luoyang, neither is a long-term solution."
When he said this, Zhu's words about the emperor coming to the country suddenly sounded in his mind again, and his heart was shaken for no reason. Ever since Shi Jingtang, the biggest scum in the Central Plains, dedicated the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitans, the Central Plains
Without the Yanyun barrier, the Han people had to face the invasion of foreign cavalry on the flat land of the Central Plains and were helpless. The Central Plains army had more infantry, while the northern nomads had more cavalry. Fighting in the plains, the Central Plains army was always at a disadvantage. Liu Ling knew
, the historically powerful Central Plains Empire will inevitably have a powerful cavalry to deal with the nomadic people in the north who have never been honest. Such as the heroic cavalry of the Han Dynasty, the tigers of the Sui Dynasty, the flying tigers of the Tang Dynasty, and later the first military general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu
Da, Chang Yuchun, the first pioneer through the ages, has a cavalry that is good at fighting.
However, generally speaking, the Han people in the Central Plains are still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the northern nomads. Since the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was included in the Khitan territory, this disadvantage has become more obvious. Therefore, Liu Ling will
Determined to build a powerful cavalry team. But his original intention of building the cavalry was not for passive defense, but to one day take back the prosperous Sixteen Provinces territory from the Khitans!
Historically, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who accomplished this great event. After Shi Jingtang dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans, it took more than four hundred years before they were recaptured by the stunning Xu Da and his army. But Liu Ling is now
He didn’t want to leave this matter to Old Zhu Tou. He had to take back the Yanyun Sixteen Provinces. At the beginning, the Yanyun Cavalry was unparalleled in the world, and the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry had the power of eighteen men.
Sweeping across the grassland, there are unpredictable ghosts and ghosts. Liu Ling will reproduce his glory and make the cavalry that the grassland people rely on tremble in front of the Han people's cavalry!
Hundreds of years later, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun could use cavalry to defeat the Mongolian cavalry, which was known as the best cavalry in the world, on the frontal battlefield. Then why couldn't Liu Ling do this? Outside Taiyuan City, Xu Da used 50,000 cavalry to defeat them.
The cavalry defeated the 100,000 cavalrymen of Wang Baobao, the first Mongolian general in the late Yuan Dynasty, in one battle. How majestic it was!
Every time he thinks of these things, Liu Ling will be fascinated!
The Han people are not weak, but their servility has become stronger after thousands of years of feudal rule. Even so, when the Han people faced an existential crisis, their resistance was absolutely powerful. When the Mongolian cavalry swept across the world, it took two years to destroy Xixia
Twelve years, it took twenty-three years to destroy the Jin Kingdom, the largest country in the world at that time, and it took more than fifty years to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty. This was once the most difficult thing for the Mongolian ruling class to understand. They have never been able to understand.
The Jin Kingdom, which was as strong as the Mongols and had millions of cavalry, was simply destroyed. Why did the seemingly weak and powerless Han people have such a strong fighting spirit? Moreover, in the war to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols
We also lost a great Khan!
The Han people do not lack fighting spirit, but they need someone to awaken them.
Liu Ling already had the best address in the capital in mind, so how could he give up so easily?
Whether it is Jinzhou, Luoyang or Kaifeng, they are just stepping stones. Liu Ling firmly believes that one day he will personally lead the army to the north and snatch the rich land of the sixteen states back from the Khitans! Then,
Let Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty's sentence about the emperor's imperial gate become plagiarism rather than originality. However, Liu Ling is not sure what is the relationship between the world he is in now and his previous life. Maybe this is just a parallel space? And
Or has the gently flapping wings of this little butterfly arrived and changed the original appearance of history?
In any case, whether this is the world he is familiar with or not, Liu Ling thought, since he has the chance to live another life, why not realize all his ideals?
Liu Ling said: "The unification of the Central Plains is inevitable, and the location of the capital cannot be decided casually. Jinzhou is just a springboard, Kaifeng is the next stop, but it is not the end. Don't consider Luoyang, instead of spending a lot of money
Instead of using manpower and material resources to repair the city, it would be better to spend our energy on the decisive battle with the Zhou army. Once the German army Zhao Tieguai and the Ding'an army Pei Zhan have a winner, they will inevitably target our big Han. The Dangxiang people and
The war between the Khitans will not last long, so we do not have time to spend time and effort rebuilding Luoyang City."
"While neither the Khitans nor the Dangxiang people have a chance to free up their hands to seize territory in the Central Plains, we must capture the entire territory of Dazhou as soon as possible. I plan to let Chen Yuanshan lead the Shenfeng Camp after you two are ready to move the capital.
Escorting the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor, and all the civil and military officials, we have temporarily established our capital in Jinzhou. We have mobilized a strong army to gather and guard Taiyuan to resist the Khitans. This way I will have no worries. I will not be hindered by the Khitans in a decisive battle with the Zhou army."
Hou Shendao: "The foundation of Jinzhou is still too poor. Even as a temporary capital, there are many inconveniences. The Six Ministries and Jiuqing, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Fu Yamen, and Zhou Yamen all need places to resettle, and Jinzhou does not have them.
The emperor's palace and the residences of the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor are not easy to accommodate."
Liu Lingdao: "In fact, in terms of basics, Luoyang is stronger than Jinzhou. But Luoyang is the Xijing of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Whether it is Zhao Tieguai or Pei Zhan, as long as they free up their hands, the first thing they will do is to attack Luoyang and regain Xijing. Luoyang will not
It's stable, so even if the foundation is better, it can't be used. Don't worry, Jinzhou is just a temporary springboard. As long as the imperial court moves here, I have no worries, and it won't be long before Kaifeng belongs to me."
When he said this, the faint confidence on his face infected everyone present. The few people staying in the Supervisory Yuan to discuss matters at this time were all Liu Ling's confidants. Civil servants Zhou Yangong, Hou Shen, and military generals
The reason why talents such as Zhao Da and Mao Yuan were able to gather together was because of Liu Ling's confident and unique personality.
Zhao laughed. He knew that as long as the prince thought about it, he would definitely be able to do it. In troubled times, there is nothing more exciting than being able to follow such a wise master and create a prosperous age with him.
What? The Supervisory Yuan was founded by Liu Ling. As the commander of the Supervisory Yuan, Zhao Da knew how much hope Liu Ling had for him. He did not disappoint Liu Ling's hope. He captured Luoyang so easily this time.
, the influence played by the Secret Agents of the Control Council should be the main contributor!
And when Liu Ling set his sights on Kaifeng, Zhao Da knew that the polished knife of the Supervisory Yuan was about to be unsheathed again.
And just as they were discussing the matter of moving the capital, good news was already on the way.
General Yang Ye led 30,000 troops out of Tangzhou and headed southeast. Wherever he went, he was unstoppable. Within a month of Liu Ling's arrival from Tangzhou to Luoyang and then back to Jinzhou from Luoyang, 30,000 Han troops captured Guangzhou unstoppably.
, Huangzhou, Xinzhou, Shuzhou, four cities in a row, Yang Ye’s invincible reputation became famous in the southeastern area of the Great Zhou Dynasty! (To be continued)
