Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3061 The World Situation
The fierce battle in Liaodong is in full swing, and Chang'an is also in turmoil.

The various tribes of the Tuyuhun were ready to move, hundreds of Yazhang ran and screamed at the southern foot of Qilian Mountain, countless Tuyuhun tribes were gathered, and it seemed that a big battle was about to take place.

Although Tuyuhun's territory is in the south of Qilian Mountains, there are several mountain passes in the Qilian Mountains that connect the north and the south. Once Tuyuhun followed these mountain passes and crossed the Qilian Mountains, the place where their horseshoes stepped would be known as the "Hexi Corridor". Su, melon and other states.

Due to the nourishment of the snow and water in the Qilian Mountains, the Hexi Corridor is rich in water and grass and densely populated, and it is also a passage to the Western Regions. Once the Hexi Corridor is lost, it means that Guanzhong and the Western Regions will be blocked from it, and tens of thousands of Anxi troops will never be able to get supplies from Guanzhong. And Guanzhong also faces the danger of a strong enemy entering the bandit, facing the enemy's soldiers!

The capital is uneasy, and the government and the opposition are naturally facing a big enemy, and the atmosphere is depressed.

……

Pine Crane Tower.

In an elegant room facing the street on the second floor, Fang Jun, Xiao Yu, Ma Zhou, and Li Daozong sat at the table, waiting for the waiter to remove the leftovers and make a pot of fragrant tea, and the four of them sat at the coffee table by the window Drinking tea, the rain is dripping outside the window, and the breeze is cool.

Ma Zhou took a sip of tea, looked worried, looked at the rain outside the window and said, "There is too much rain this year, and it must be more frequent after summer. It's fine if it's light rain. After all, in recent years, the water conservancy in various places in Guanzhong has been improved." Repairs, but if it rains several times in a row, there will be floods.”

He is Jing Zhaoyin, and he is naturally concerned about the people's livelihood of the entire Jing Zhao Mansion.

Now Jingzhao Mansion has already become the economic and political center of the entire Tang Dynasty, and it is more than twice as prosperous as it was in the early years of Zhenguan?However, the principle of "agriculture is the foundation of the world" cannot be replaced by merchants.Once a flood occurs, it will seriously affect the grain production in Guanzhong.

Including Chang'an City, the resident population of the entire Jingzhao Mansion has exceeded three million. Once the grain production decreases, grain must be allocated from various places in the south of the Yangtze River. It hurts to think about it.

Fang Jun was not as pessimistic about it as he was: "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, how can we stop it? The empire is vast, and all kinds of natural disasters are inevitable. Now the canal connects the north and the south, and Guanzhong is even more watery." The network is dense, and the food in the south of the Yangtze River can only be arrived in ten months, and the left and right are just a little more loss, which will not affect the overall situation."

Xiao Yu on the side smiled wryly: "It's just that, I'm afraid I will have to add more gifts, and it will be hard for the people in the south of the Yangtze River."

Jiangnan is his root, so he naturally feels sorry for the folks in Jiangnan.Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiangnan has gradually become richer and more populous than Guanzhong. Therefore, almost every disaster in the empire requires food from Jiangnan, which invisibly puts too much burden on Jiangnan.

Of course, this is because Jiangnan is too rich, and the loss is more than enough to make up for the deficiency, and it is not without intentional weakening of Jiangnan, so that Guanzhong is firmly in the center of the empire...

It's just that no matter what the reason is, it is very difficult for Jiangnan people to accept. Who is willing to spend money and food to support others?So these things have to be handled by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. While ensuring the collection of disaster relief funds and food, they have to appease the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

If there is a slight delay, you will be warned by the court.

Most of the time, it's both ends of the air, and there are no people inside and outside...

Ma Zhou disagreed, saying: "It is the national policy of all dynasties to support the capital with the local area. Weak stems and strong branches are not a long-term solution. What's more, if there is a disaster in Guanzhong, it should be supported by all directions, and Jiangnan has enough money and food. Isn't it right that we should use it?" A helping hand, a generous helping hand?"

Xiao Yu smiled wryly, shook his head, and didn't answer any more.

The truth is indeed such a truth, but the problem is that the money and food of the people in the south of the Yangtze River come from the tide of the sea?The food that I worked so hard to grow was confiscated and sent to other places for disaster relief. I am afraid that anyone will inevitably feel unhappy.

This is also the fundamental reason why Jiangnan has been drifting away from the center. In the eyes of Jiangnan people, the empire never regarded them as their own, and spared no effort to squeeze them...

However, the richer Jiangnan became, the more worried the central government was and had to suppress it;

Almost became a deadlock.

Therefore, even though the Tang Dynasty was established for more than [-] years, Jiangnan has never been able to integrate into the imperial system. Chang'an is wary of generals, and Jiangnan lacks recognition of Chang'an...

Fang Jun also shook his head and remained silent. There is almost no solution to this matter, and it has been a big problem in all dynasties.

Unless the Tang Dynasty deposes the capital Chang'an and moves the capital to Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River...

This is naturally impossible, at least under the current domestic and international situation, it is absolutely unworkable.Although Jiangnan is rich and has more potential than Guanzhong, which has reached its peak, even if its economic, population and other indicators completely crush Guanzhong, it is basically impossible to replace Guanzhong as the core of the empire.

Without him, the terrain is too bad.

The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is flat, and there are no tall mountains around it, so it is absolutely weak in terms of geographical defense.The cavalry from the north to the south only needs to cross the Dabie Mountains to reach the Jianghuai River. The Yangtze River can indeed stop the cavalry, but the long Yangtze River can hardly be used as a natural barrier to resist the full attack of the northern cavalry, because it is too long!

No country can lay out an impenetrable line of defense along the Yangtze River. It only needs to be broken through a little bit, and the northern cavalry can reach the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, which is irresistible.

Even as long as they occupy Bashu and have the advantage of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, they can go down the river and sweep the entire Jiangnan in an instant.

When the Tang army attacked Xiao Xian, who was entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, it was Li Xiaogong's navy that flowed down from Kuimen, completely crushed Xiao Xian's navy, and captured Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

Even in the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolia fought bitterly in the Southern Song Dynasty for decades without victory. It had to destroy Dali first, then attack Sichuan and Shu, and then conquer Xiangyang. It completely controlled the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Han River Basin. In the end, the Battle of Yashan ruined the ancestors of the Han people, China was extinct, and the Shenzhou land sank.

And the shape of Guanzhong is better than that of Jiangnan.

Since it is impossible for Jiangnan to become the capital of the country, the richer it is, the more it will arouse the fear of the central government, and it is inevitable to suppress the balance...

But of course there is no need to worry too much at the moment. If Jiangnan wants to challenge the status of Guanzhong, it will take at least 100 years of development.Even in the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan's economy, culture, and population had reached the peak of feudal society, and it took hundreds of years to challenge Beijing's status.

It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the Donglin Party and the Central Committee were able to fight against each other. At that time, every family in the south of the Yangtze River was very rich, and the aristocratic families were rich in gold and silver. In Sheji, civil turmoil is raging everywhere like beacons, but there is no money, money or food to quell the rebellion and defend the enemy.

As a result, the big families in the south of the Yangtze River finally proved their status, and the foundation of Huanghuang Daming was broken by them, and it collapsed.

They themselves were trembling and shivering under the iron hooves of Jiannu. They were killed until their blood flowed into rivers and their corpses piled up like mountains. In the midst of this, she kept her head and shaved her hair, and obediently became a obedient citizen of "My Great Qing Dynasty"...

History always has inertia, and it is impossible to change the trajectory caused by the inertia accumulated over thousands of years just because of the birth of a person.

Can the Tang Dynasty get rid of the disaster of subjugation caused by the Anshi Rebellion, the old empire fell apart, and the Central Plains China was torn apart?
Will the Hu tribe outside the territory still invade the Central Plains, separatist Yanyun, and break the barrier of the northern border of the Han family as in history?
Will the Golden Family still be able to dominate the grasslands, ride a machete and shoot armor across the world, punish Europe like a whip in the hand of God, and kill Yingye?
Can the slaves outside the pass rise up in the chaos, break into the pass, steal Shenzhou Jinxiu Rivers and Mountains, and then start hundreds of years of darkness, making the descendants of Yan and Huang lag behind the barbarians of Taixi, and finally be knocked open by strong ships and sharp guns, and open the dolphins? The era of dog-like lingering, throwing away the brilliant civilization created by the ancestors?
……

History is always too heavy.

Fang Jun felt a little bored, got up and said, "Someone goes out to have a rest."

Everyone was speechless, Xiao Yu said irritably: "I'm drinking tea, you just need to say it, why are you so vulgar? It's so vulgar, you can't be a son of man!"

They are all elegant people, and they are drinking tea right now, so why don't you explain something, are you still educated?

Li Daozong also frowned and said: "The house minister is gentle and gentle, hasn't he taught you how to avoid taboo?"

Fang Jun chuckled, got up and walked out, and said with a smile: "Don't gentlemen pee?"

Ma Zhou was speechless, and waved his hands in distaste: "Go and come back quickly, such vulgarity is really abominable!"

Fang Jun turned around and walked out of the room, unexpectedly, just as he took a step, he was almost hit by a person outside the door...

I was shocked in my heart: Is someone eavesdropping?
