Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Section 72 of Dingding has a lot of problems

It’s hard to imagine, everything needs to start from the most basic, and now everything in front of me has surfaced, and it seems that everything is difficult and difficult to decide. He has already formally had a showdown with Xiao, Tang, Su and Qin, made it clear that he will make Angel his queen, and that there is no room for discussion on this issue, and that the two of them should immediately express their attitudes to the outside world through different channels, and actively help him appease those opponents in the empire. A dissenting gentry noble of Angel bloodline.

Both Xiao Su expressed different degrees of worry, especially as Yanyun and the emperor finally joined, although the anti-Wufeng forces finally came to an end, the conservative forces attached to the Wufeng camp got the favor instead. Yanyun and the imperial capital have always been places where conservative forces gather. Now they have clearly recognized the legitimacy of the Wufeng New Dynasty, but they have also joined forces with nobles and gentry from Kansai, Beiyuan, Wuhu and other places. Get up, fight from a political perspective to defend their so-called superior interests, the military struggle has come to an end, but the struggle for political interests has just begun, everything will come down to the struggle from the inside out, maybe there will not be so much violence and Bloody, but the intensity of the struggle may be more violent than real swordsmen. They recognized the dynasty that Wufeng was about to establish and planned to join in, but they didn't approve of all Wufeng's actions. It is impossible not to arouse a strong backlash from the new empire where the He people occupy an absolute dominant position.

But Wufeng no longer wants to entangle and compromise on the issue of Lihou, nor does he intend to show a vague and perfunctory attitude to the outside world. When Situ Yutang left Hanzhong, Wufeng once had a relationship with Situ Yutang. We had a heart-to-heart exchange on this issue. Wufeng could see that although Situ Yutang felt a little sad and lost in her heart, she had to admit that some subtle factors had to be considered when the new empire was established. Her own special identity and status were indeed not suitable for Wufeng's new queen. Wufeng also made it clear to Situ Yutang that he would never disappoint Situ Yutang's wishes. This finally gave Situ Yutang some comfort in addition to being sad. Both inside and outside, Wufeng believes that even if there are some twists and turns in this problem, it will eventually be realized according to his own intentions. He also wrote letters to the governors of the counties, especially Wang Zongxi, Su Minshun and He Jing, asking them to strengthen cooperation with local governments. The gentry's communication skillfully expresses his point of view.

This is a war that requires both sides to make a compromise, and Wufeng has also instructed Xiao Tang and Su Qin that apart from the question of the empress, even the imperial concubine and the candidates for the imperial concubine can be brought up as a compromise. This is also Wufeng's helpless move. If he can't appease the forces of all parties on this issue, he is afraid that once his new empire is established, he will fall into this endless and boring quarrel.

The problem of setting the capital is another problem that bothers Wufeng the most. Breaking down the old and removing the new, it seems that Zhongzhou is no longer suitable as the capital of the new empire. What's more, the territory of the new empire is not limited to the middle of the eastern continent like the original Tanghe Empire. Now the new empire has included the entire peninsula. And it also has more important maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. The sphere of influence in the west goes straight to the depths of the Indian region. Even leaving aside those so-called spheres of influence and special interest areas, the territory of the new empire already includes Northern Luzon, and the Western Regions already includes the East Tengger region. Ulan, Yanji, and Shuangdui in the west, as well as the newly included Pamir, are much farther away from Zhongzhou than from Zhongzhou to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, at least four to five times the distance. In terms of the current situation, the capital of an empire should also consider its location in the empire. If it deviates too much from the central area, it will inevitably reduce the administrative efficiency of the entire imperial bureaucracy, and transportation and connections are still restricting the empire. An important factor in the reach of the executive order.

Moreover, Wufeng also has his own ideas on the issue of establishing the capital. As the interests of the sea become more and more important, Wufeng originally intended to locate its capital in a port city, but the reality forced Wufeng to give up this idea. Whether it is a seaport on the Great Eastern Ocean or a port city on the Southern Ocean, it is obviously not enough. It may be accepted as the capital of the empire, and the constraints of the seaport cannot be changed at present. Wufeng can only bury this regret in his heart, although this cannot change Wufeng's determination to vigorously accelerate the pace of expansion on the ocean.

But if Zhongzhou is not chosen as the capital, it seems that there are only Qingyang and Hanzhong to choose from. Hanzhong has been one of the three capitals of the Tang people since ancient times. It seems reasonable to choose this place, located in Hanzhong The basin is rich in production, surrounded by key passes, safe and sound, and a big river flows through it. It can barely be regarded as a port city, although it is only a river port that is not a big land. But there are also undoubted flaws here. This is the center of Kansai, where conservative forces are relatively strong, and Wufeng does not want the new capital to be built in a place with a strong conservative atmosphere. The difference, even Zhongzhou can save a lot of money for the construction of official residences of administrative departments at all levels. The traffic conditions in Kansai are also a constraint. Although Wufeng has spent a lot of energy to improve after Xijiang took over, the surrounding mountains are an unchangeable fact. This shortcoming has already begun to be exposed when Hanzhong was only the resident of the Qin Palace. If the capital is really located here, it will not only make officials feel content with pleasure, but also restrict people's thinking about expanding outward. This is what Wufeng does not want to see.

As for Qingyang, its advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious. It is located at the junction of the Middle East, with mixed ethnic groups and many immigrants from various places. Wufeng himself has a high prestige here and a solid ruling foundation. It is conducive to national integration, and it is connected to the Western Regions, Northern Luzon and Tengger, which can have a greater impact on the territory of the Central Mainland. It is also very conducive to the implementation of the strategic intention of the new empire to expand its influence westward. In addition, Western Xinjiang has been vigorously developing here in the past ten years. With infrastructure construction such as transportation and farmland water conservancy, Qingyang has fully met the conditions of a central city.

However, Qingyang also has unavoidable shortcomings. First of all, the geographical location is too west and north, which is not in line with Wufeng's idea of ​​prioritizing the expansion of ocean power. It is too far away, and East Samoa and Moro to the south are farther away, not to mention the Mawen Islands in the southeast ocean. This is the biggest fatal flaw.

Moreover, Qingyang's peripheral defense situation is not good. There is only Yinchuan Mansion as a barrier to the powerful enemy Sithrow Empire in the north. If the enemy invades from the south, it only takes two days for the cavalry to reach Qingyang City. This is also unavoidable. The problem to consider, although Wufeng is not afraid of the invasion of the Sithrows, but he has to consider the psychological endurance of the entire imperial dynasty. The generals may welcome the provocation of the Liberians to give them a better excuse for the Northern Expedition. But the civil servants and the people of the entire empire may not have such a good psychological quality. The news that the enemy cavalry invaded the capital will inevitably have a great negative impact on all parts of the empire, and even cause some unnecessary chaos.

In addition, Qingyang's industrial and agricultural foundations are too weak. Although the development in the past ten years has greatly improved, with the population growth, food can only be barely self-sufficient. Once it becomes the capital, the food problem will immediately become a big problem. Looking at Zhongzhou, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is an important agricultural area, but the annual amount of food purchased from other places is also an astronomical figure. You can imagine If the population of Qingyang continues to increase, it will have to buy food from other places, and Northwest County is not an important food production area, and it has to be transported from North Luzon in the west or Kansai or even Wuhu in the east~ IndoMTL.com ~ This is also a huge burden.

Wufeng has been thinking about this issue for a long time. He has even thought about the issue of the country since he entered the Imperial Capital to participate in the Three Kings' Meeting. pros and cons, but can not make a decision. And Wufeng also consulted Xiao Tang, Su Qin, Wang Zongxi and others intentionally or unintentionally, and even asked An Qier and Lin Yuexin for their opinions, but the public said the public was right, and the mother-in-law said the woman was right. In the end, even they He also couldn't come up with a convincing statement, which made Wufeng helpless, and this matter was dragged on like this, until now it was unavoidable.

The issue of establishing the capital is more complicated and important than it was after the establishment. This not only involves the interests of all parties, but more importantly, it is also the most important step for the entire new empire. There will be endless future troubles, and it will also have many negative effects on the next development of the entire empire. Wufeng is even considering whether it is necessary to hold a meeting to solicit opinions from all parties to comprehensively balance the pros and cons. It may be better for the debate on this issue to be made public, and even to intensify conflicts among all parties, to make a decision and let all the pressure be borne by oneself. However, it seems impossible not to consult the opinions of the subordinates and officials on the issue of establishing the capital. This is also unprecedented in history.
