Chapter 355: The Battle of Chang''an and Kaifeng
Chapter 354: The Battle of Chang''an and Kaifeng
After the court meeting, the three dukes and nine ministers and some ministers stayed to discuss whether to move the capital or not, and whether Emperor Gaozu''s strategy to defeat the enemy could be feasible.
However, what made the ministers incredible was that the three dukes and nine ministers were basically opposed to moving the capital, but after this private discussion, they all agreed to moving the capital tacitly.
What''s going on?
Why are you all messing around with His Majesty?
The officials who were not left behind couldn''t figure it out, and the officials who stayed were also puzzled.
No one naively thought that the plan of Emperor Gaozu mentioned by Your Majesty was really a dream for Emperor Gaozu. But who came up with such a bold plan to His Majesty?
The important officials of the Han Dynasty were not stupid people. Naturally, we can see whether the "Gaozu''s plan" was feasible. Although the risks were great, for the current Han Dynasty, it was indeed the last glimmer of vitality, so how could we oppose it?
After obtaining the consent of the court officials, moving the capital was also foregone conclusion.
This capital was different from the past. In addition to the relocation of administrative agencies, the Luoyang imperial court moved the most was grain, and then the relocation of major families.
In wartime, in order to win the war, all state institutions must serve the war, and food is naturally strictly controlled.
Both the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turban are the same. The reserves of ordinary people are basically collected, and only basic rations are allowed to be retained. If necessary labor is spent, they will be forced to be recruited.
Doing so will greatly lose the people''s hearts, but this is the case. After all, if you lose the battle of gambling countries, you will be defeated. What''s the use of asking people''s hearts at that time?
The Han Dynasty built two super-large grain warehouses in Sili, one in Sizhou and Yongzhou, each in Chang''an and Hongnong.
The reason why the court did not build the grain warehouse in Luoyang seemed to have a premonition that if the Si Li could not hold it, it would be more convenient to transport grain and grass from Hongnong to Guanzhong.
After the capital relocation order was issued, the most affected were not ordinary people, but Luoyang families.
The court did not force the people to follow the capital, nor did it force the aristocratic families to follow, but the aristocratic families had to go to Chang''an.
The people do not have the ability to go alone, so if the court does not force the migration, the people will naturally not leave the land where their ancestors live.
The big family is different, they have the ability to migrate.
Luoyang has gathered most of the aristocratic families in the world, and they who abandoned their property and came to Luoyang were already seriously damaged. After going to Guanzhong, they would definitely be jointly exploited by local aristocratic families.
So it is still difficult to go to Chang''an, but it is not enough not to move.
They who fled to Luoyang have already been on the list of deaths of the Yellow Turbans. Once Luoyang is captured, the only thing waiting for them is death, so they can only go to Chang''an with the court.
This time the capital was moved, the court did not want to make a big move, but with the addition of the aristocratic families, the migration team became huge.
Sili is composed of Guanzhong and Heluo. Heluo is Sizhou and has four counties, namely Yin of Henan, Henoi, Hedong and Hongnong.
Qianli Guanzhong is Yongzhou, with three counties, namely Jingzhao Yin, You Fufeng and Zuo Feng Ling.
Today''s Yongzhou is no longer Guanzhong in the Qin and Han dynasties, and its political, economic and population is far less than that of Sizhou.
But with the increase of refugees, the court moved all refugees into Sizhou into Guanzhong. In addition, the entry of aristocratic families in the world has made the population of Yongzhou almost exceed two million in a short period of time, and the economy has gradually become prosperous.
If this trend continues, Guanzhong will probably become the most complex region.
Because this place is about to become a gathering place for all the aristocratic families in the world, not only the Kansai family, but also the Guandong family. If there are many aristocratic families, some simple things will become complicated.
…
In July of the second year of Zhongping, the Han Dynasty officially moved its capital from Luoyang to Chang''an.
Liu Hong''s move to Chang''an was different from Dong Zhuo, and did not cause any damage to Luoyang. The major institutions of the court had been relocated within half a month, and the aristocratic families were naturally slower to take their families. Chang''an, Weiyang Palace.
This palace that witnessed the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty has 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 in Guanzhong been driven to the present?"
Liu Hong knew that his move to the capital might be a foolproof move in the eyes of the people of the world, but he knew in his heart that this was the only way to save the man, and that person''s plan would never go wrong.
"Report to Your Majesty, 50,000 reinforcements from Guanzhong have arrived in Luoyang, and 100,000 Yizhou''s army has also entered Guanzhong." He Jin stepped out and reported in a deep voice.
"Yizhou is now empty, no chaos has happened, right?" Liu Hong asked worriedly.
"Don''t worry, with the two generals Liu Yan and Liu Ji here, Yizhou is as stable as Mount Tai."
Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, he saw a member of the investigation and rushed into the hall.
"Report to your Majesty, Xiaopingjin... is lost."
This news was like thunder when it reached everyone''s ears.
"What?"
Liu Hong stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
The court suddenly became chaotic, and all kinds of discussions continued.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Yellow Turbans have been constantly increasing their troops to Xiaopingjin, and Xiang Yu has also attacked fiercely day and night. In order to capture Xiaopingjin, he even did not hesitate to attack the city himself. General Yuan was unable to bear it and has now led 20,000 remaining troops to retreat to Luoyang."
The reason why Xiaopingjin failed so quickly was that he was ultimately affected by the capital movement.
The emperor ran away, and the soldiers ahead still had the confidence to keep going?
Xiaopingjin''s fall also caused all the efforts made by the four major princes including Qin Wen of Hulao Pass to wasted.
"Transfer the order to give up Hulao Pass and defend Luoyang with all his might."
Liu Hong didn''t know if this decision was right, but he had to do so.
Once Xiaopingjin was lost, the Yellow Turban could have directly mobilized a large army to attack Luoyang through the waterway, and it was meaningless to make Qin Wen''s death in Hulao Pass.
But once Hulao Pass is given up, Zhang Jiao and Xiang Yu will join forces. At that time, a million troops will come to Luoyang. Can Luoyang really defend it?
This is an unsolvable death.
As the saying goes: Good fortune is where misfortune depends, and misfortune is where good fortune is to be hidden.
The Han Dynasty was constantly bad news on the front battlefield, and when everyone was pessimistic about the Han Dynasty''s destruction, good news finally came from the front line.
"Report..."
Liu Hong raised his head weakly and said with a slight sarcastic expression: "Who was defeated again? Zhu Rong? Or Huangfu Song?"
Liu Hong was extremely dissatisfied with these ministers in the court, and even believed that if it weren''t for them, the Han Dynasty would not have reached the current situation, but Liu Hong did not consider his faults at all.
Zhang Rang took the order and said surprise after seeing it: "Your Majesty, this time is good news. Champion Hou Qinhao defeated Huang Chao''s 200,000 troops in Kaifeng and killed more than ten thousand enemies."
?It’s not that Liu Xiang broke his promise, but that something really delayed yesterday, otherwise how could he make up for it at night? Liuxiang said before that it will definitely be updated steadily this month, and at least one update will be added. All one updates should not be considered a breaking promise, right? There are two updates today, and the second update will be released in the evening. The decisive battle is about to begin and will be summoned again soon.
