Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters move the capital
In mid-November, the latest issue of the Tang Dynasty Newspaper published news that shocked the whole world, that is, the Great Victory of Jianping!
The report said that under the wise guidance of the glorious and great Eternal Saint King Li Xuan, who was greater than the sun, my glorious and fearless Second Army of the Tang Dynasty fought bravely and won the Jiangnan Strategic Area with an absolutely overwhelming advantage.
Decisive Battle: Victory in the Battle of Jianping.
In this battle, our Second Army suffered less than a hundred casualties. It was an absolute advantage that completely annihilated the 100,000-strong army of the puppet Ming Dynasty. When the leader of the thieves was defeated with his flag, he was greedy for life and feared death, and even left the 100,000-man army and fled alone.
However, the sky net was very sparse, and in the end the king thief was caught up and killed by our heroic and invincible second army.
In this battle, the king's 100,000-strong army was wiped out in one day. No less than 40,000 people were killed or injured on the spot, and most of the rest were captured. During this period, nearly 10,000 righteous soldiers abandoned the Ming Dynasty and defected to the Tang Dynasty to resist the oppression of the puppet Ming Dynasty.
Revolt and defect to our country, the Tang Dynasty.
After this battle, in the land south of the Yangtze River, there is no longer a single soldier who can resist our Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty. Countless prefectures and counties even surrendered upon hearing the news and took the initiative to submit to my glorious and great Tang Dynasty.
The grace of the Holy King will spread all over the land of Jiangnan, and tens of millions of people who are trapped under the brutal rule of false Ming will usher in a new and beautiful life!
Long live the Tang Dynasty!
Long live the Eternal Saint King!
The first headline of this issue is about the Battle of Jianping. Of course, several chief editors from the Chaobao Department of the Ministry of Rites jointly wrote the article and revised it repeatedly. The sentences that talk about the specific events of the Battle of Jianping are roughly the same.
It only occupies one-tenth of the page.
And the remaining 50% of the words are repeated praises for Li Xuan!
There are about two-tenths of the words describing how the civil and military officials work hard under the leadership of Li Xuan.
There are about two-tenths of the words describing how the soldiers of the Second Army fought hard under the leadership of Li Xuan.
Well, if we count them all, the number of words related to Li Xuan accounts for at least 90%!
In short, it was Saint Lord Li Xuan who won this battle, and the others only made insignificant efforts.
In the follow-up report on the second page, there is more space to introduce this battle and its subsequent related impacts. Of course, the Tang Dynasty Newspaper will not publicly report the details of this battle. Those are all
Military secrets report only superficial things, such as reporting on a few typical examples of war heroes.
And more are reporting more follow-up impacts, especially talking about the positive impact and advantages that the army will have on the Tang Dynasty after occupying Jiangnan.
Finally, I did not forget to say a word or two, saying that the market in Jiangnan has been opened to the industrial and commercial circles. Whether we can seize the opportunity to make a fortune depends on whether everyone can act quickly enough.
In this issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily, half of the page reports were related to the Jianping Campaign and Jiangnan. Most of people's attention was attracted by the above, and they didn't care much about other content.
As soon as the court report came out, the world was naturally shocked, because anyone who has a little understanding of the world's situation can guess what the future will be like from this incident: the Tang Dynasty may really defeat the Ming Dynasty and unify China!
No matter what happens, the Tang Dynasty can still fight against the Ming Dynasty, and this situation can last for at least several decades, because no matter how you look at it now, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to defeat the Tang Dynasty in a short time.
.
Not many people care about what happened decades later. What they care about now is that the Tang Dynasty really ruled many areas south of the Yangtze River, and it actually shared the world equally with the Ming Dynasty.
Such a result can be guessed by many people. Even if they are not smart enough to guess, the many pages at the back of the Datang Chao Bao also discuss the impact of this battle from many aspects. Of course
, all had a positive impact on the Tang Dynasty.
The purpose of the Datang Chaobao is to let them know, or to tell them: Our Datang is very powerful and we will soon be able to unify China!
For those who followed us in the Tang Dynasty in the past, you will get more benefits!
And those who have not yet planned to follow our Tang Dynasty, if they don’t get on the bus quickly, they will not be able to buy tickets if they are late.
In short, the mission of the Reporting Department of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty is to use this victory to expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible and encourage people to have a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. Even if it doesn't work, don't let them shout against it every day.
Tang Dynasty.
And this was also the reason why Li Xuan established the Tang Dynasty Newspaper!
The people of Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces who have lived under the rule of the Tang Dynasty for several years are mostly smiling. Over the past few years, even if they still cannot have a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, they have actually become
There was an almost inseparable interest entanglement with Datang.
Ordinary people had already received numerous benefits from the agricultural taxes and land policies of the Tang Dynasty, and they were unwilling to lose these benefits again.
As for the gentry class, although they suffered certain losses in agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, due to the Tang Dynasty's policy of supporting industry and commerce, many people have begun to transfer funds from pure land to industry and commerce, and have benefited greatly.
.
Everyone likes to make money. When a gentry makes a lot of money from industry and commerce, the ten or hundreds of gentry around him will follow suit and join industry and commerce, and then make money.
To put it bluntly, as long as they opened workshops and factories and made money in industry and commerce, they would basically be inseparable from the Tang Dynasty.
To open a factory, we need cheaper raw materials and a broader market. Let’s not talk about the raw materials for now. Let’s just talk about the market. Although the Tang Dynasty is vigorously developing sea trade, the goods are already sold to all parts of East Asia and even Europe.
, but to be honest, in this era, there is no better market for them than Jiangnan and the northern provinces, which are still under the Ming Dynasty!
For the army to conquer Jiangnan, many gentry who invested in industry and commerce, especially emerging industries, maintained a great welcome attitude, which can be seen from their actual actions.
Those bold merchants almost followed the army with their goods. When the army reached Jiangnan, their goods were also sold to Jiangnan.
Industry and commerce were only one of the close connections between the Tang Dynasty and the gentry. Another very important point was that the Tang Dynasty had been conducting examinations for several years, although the content of the imperial examinations was frequently criticized by old scholars.
Despite the criticism, there are still countless students who passed the imperial examination and became officials.
They not only had Jinshi, Juren, and Xiucai, because in the Tang Dynasty, even Xiucai could directly obtain the qualifications for official selection.
In modern times, behind every scholar is a family!
So many scholars served as officials in the Tang Dynasty, which represents countless gentry families!
Although nothing can be seen on the surface, in fact the development of the Tang Dynasty to this day has been tied up with the interests of countless people.
Therefore, countless people and gentry under the Tang Dynasty felt happy about this Jianping Battle.
In Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces that had just been brought under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, many gentry and other people under their rule began to seriously examine the feasibility of truly joining the Tang Dynasty.
And these are the functions played by the Tang Dynasty Newspaper.
If there were no reports from the Tang Dynasty, even if the Battle of Jianping was won, the impact would probably not spread to the whole world.
This issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily caused huge fluctuations, and the new issue also caused a shock, because the new issue of the Daily reported that the Second Army had officially conquered Jinling City, and emphatically mentioned
The civil and military officials of Jinling City led the entire city's military and civilians to voluntarily surrender.
There are a large number of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. Although they are all second-rate players in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the really powerful officials are in the capital, their grades are there and there are many of them.
, this is enough to prove the great martial arts of the Tang Dynasty.
However, although the capture of Jinling City also caused a sensation, many people could already guess when they saw the last issue of the Tang Dynasty Newspaper that it was only a matter of time before the second army captured Jinling City. Therefore, despite the sensation,
But it was not as big a sensation as the Battle of Jianping.
What people care more about is another thing, which is moving the capital.
You know, many of the senior civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty had heard with their own ears that Li Xuan had said that he would drink horses from the Qinhuai River and move the capital to Jinling one day. Therefore, the matter of moving the capital was not a secret in the Tang Dynasty, nor was it something that could not be discussed.
topic of.
Therefore, this time in the Tang Dynasty newspaper, there are also commentaries analyzing whether it is feasible to move the capital to Jinling City after conquering Jinling City, and if so, when to move the capital, etc.
There is no doubt that this was under Li Xuan's instructions, and he started to let the outside world know about the capital move in advance. After all, as an emperor, even if he wanted to move the capital, he couldn't say it himself first. His ministers had to explain it.
Soon, the information Li Chunjing sent from Jinling City was delivered to Zhaoqing, and Li Chunjing formally petitioned to move the capital to Jinling City.
However, Hao Bainian also quickly sent a memorial, saying that the capital should be moved to the old capital, which is Chang'an. Although Chang'an has not been captured yet, a branch can be established in Wuchang.
But soon some people started discounting, thinking that Zhaoqing is the best, so don’t go there, just stay in Zhaoqing!
In response to this chaos, Liu Bagou, the leader of the hundred officials, soon got into trouble, and his plan was more interesting. He requested to move the capital to Jinling, with Jinling as the capital, but at the same time, Zhaoqing was the southern capital, and the capital was the northern capital.
Make Chang'an the western capital.
Well, this directly regards all the capitals that have not yet been captured as the northern capital, and Chang'an as the western capital.
And it only takes a few east capital to get everything from southeast to northwest.
