The capital ’s requirements for traffic conditions, since ancient times are all important conditions for choosing a capital. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, the three capitals of Qin Country, Yongyang, Liyang and Xianyang, are all arranged on the northern bank of the Weihe River, mainly because of the Weihe River. There is a flat east-west avenue in the north, which can directly lead to Jin, which was more developed in economy and culture at that time, but the road in the south of Weishui does not have these superior conditions.

The same is true of Imperial Capital in later China. The reason why Imperial Capital can become Imperial Capital is because Imperial Capital’s location is a transportation hub, which can connect the Northeast Plain, the Mongolian Plateau and the Shanxi Plateau. The hub has an extremely important strategic position.

In ancient times with relatively backward technology, the use of rivers for water transportation was the most convenient mode of transportation and the largest volume of transportation. However, due to the constraints of practical conditions, the capitals of many small countries were difficult to choose near the main river In this way, in order to facilitate the transportation of materials, Imperial Court often uses huge manpower and material resources to dig canals to make up for the lack of natural transportation capacity.

For example, in the Warring States period, the second year of King Wei Hui of the Wei Country moved to the capital of Liang, he mobilized 2 surnames to dig the gulf to communicate the main water channels between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. Then the Tongji Canal and the Grand Canal were excavated, so that the boats could be launched into Luoyang, into the Yellow River and Huaihe River, and even directly to the Jiangnan water town.

The fourth point of choosing the capital is that there are mountains and water around it, which is convenient for defense. In order to ensure the safety of the capital, it will not be captured by the enemy with no difficulty. The dynasties have required the area where the capital is located to be a dangerous place. Therefore, it has become the longest ancient capital in ancient times, and the Guanzhong area where it is located is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is obviously one of the reasons that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Not only that, the all around of the city is best to have dangers, so as to fund the final resistance. Built in the ancient capital near Chang’an, Feng and Hao in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty, Chang’an in the Western Han Dynasty, Northern Dynasties, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty, the city site did not cross the Ba Shui because the reason is to “Linhe thinks it is the abyss”. Because the main threat of these dynasties came from the east, the Bahe, which flows from north to south, is undoubtedly a natural barrier. The east capital Luoyang built by Sui Dynasty, Yique in the south, Mount Mang in the north, Linshui in the east, Jianhe in the west, and Luoshui in the west. Obviously, the need for defense has been taken into consideration when selecting the site.

If you do n’t have the geographical advantage of being surrounded by mountains and rivers, you have to station heavy soldiers around the capital and rely on the Great Wall of Flesh and Blood. This will greatly increase the demand for food and materials in the capital.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the reason why the ancestor planned to relocate Luoyang or Chang’an, in his words, was to make redundant soldiers according to the victory of the mountains and rivers, and follow the Zhou Han Story to settle down the world. He was worried that the capital would be opened in Kaifeng, and the heavy troops stationed there must inevitably increase the people’s burden of transporting grain and grain. In less than 100 years, the world’s civilian power is exhausted. This kind of worry cannot be justified.

Fifth, the region’s economic must is developed. Since the capital city is the most populous city in the country, it consumes huge amounts of food and daily necessities, and ancient long-distance transportation is so inconvenient. If the area where the capital is located is economically developed, it can reduce the dependence on the outside world.

Therefore, the seats of ancient capitals are often economically developed areas. Before the middle of the Great Tang, the economic center of gravity of the Huaxia region was in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in the north, so the capital city of the unified dynasty was located in Chang’an and Luoyang. Later, the economic center of gravity moved south, forcing the capital to move eastward and southward. Kaifeng, then simply moved to Nanjing in Jiangnan.

As far as the overall economic structure of China is concerned, the capital needs to be located at or near the most developed area in the country. As far as the second-level region is concerned, the location of the capital should also be a relatively economically developed region within the region. During the Warring States period, Qin Country moved its capital from Liyang to Xianyang, mainly because the area where Liyang is located is salty and alkaline, without long-term development and transformation, and the economy is backward. The Xianyang area is densely populated and developed early. Mount Zhongnan is rich in products. , Inexhaustible. Later, the capital city of Beiping in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties was not an economic center of gravity, but its location was also a relatively economically developed area in the north. At least all the surrounding cities could not match Beiping.

Sixth, mountains and rivers must be beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. The ancient emperors were proud of themselves, drinking sweet food, but also indulging in sensual dogs and horses, hunting in the fields. In this way, they did not live in vain in this life. They not only built a large number of palace pavilions, ditches and ponds in the city, but also built a large palace outside the city and a palace garden.

The Huaqing pond at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Xi’an, the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the western suburbs of Beijing, the famous tourist spots of ancient and modern China, were all places where emperors indulged in pleasure.

For this reason, when choosing the address of the capital city, the rulers of past dynasties often demanded that the capital city and its surrounding mountains and rivers be beautiful and the scenery was pleasant. It is said that the reason why Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty established Hangzhou was to covet the beautiful mountains and rivers around the West Lake. He even said: “The capital of Gaozong is Lin’an, but it is greedy for the prosperity of the West Lake.

These all are the basis for the ancient emperors to choose the capital. Of course, there may be other reasons, but these are definitely the conditions that must be considered when choosing the capital.

According to these conditions, Rahman I chose to locate the capital city in Moldova, which is a good location. After all, close to the Guadalquivir River, transportation is very convenient, and the 100 people live with water and the city ’s defense is also guaranteed. , The scenery must be good, so naturally there is no better location than here.

Gibraltar Harbor is close at hand. Li An and Fleet under his command will soon enter the port of Gibraltar. However, because Gibraltar Harbor is still some distance away from the Spanish capital, Li An has to rest after a few days in Gibraltar. Departure to Moldova.

To Moldova, you can go by land or water. Two roads can be chosen at random. The distance of land is relatively short, which is five-six hundred miles. The waterway needs to go west first, and then from Gwadar The estuary of the Kivir River went upstream and directly reached Moldova, the capital of Spain. The distance of this waterway is 2 miles away. However, because it only takes a boat to take the waterway, it is easier to take the waterway. If you take the land route, the consumption of resources will increase greatly. After all, fleet has so many vehicles, and the fuel consumption is a big amount of data.

Therefore, if Li An needs to travel to Moldova, he will definitely choose to take the water route instead of taking the land route in order to grab the approach.

But because Gibraltar is Li An ’s favorite place, it is natural to stay here for some time, and even some soldiers and ships still need to stay here to control this important Harbor.

The fleet entered the port soon, and a lot of people gathered at the pier at Harbor. This was naturally to greet the arrival of Li An. The local top officials also came, including Rahman ’s confidant. However, Rahman himself He was still in the capital city of Moldova because of physical discomfort, not at all heading to Gibraltar.

Li An doesn’t care about this either. After all, Li An is not abroad yet, and he doesn’t need the king to greet him personally, especially at the border Harbor, which is even less necessary. It’s good to be greeted in person when going to the capital.

This time met at Harbor at the heart of Rahman, however, the status and rank are much higher than the one who boarded the boat before, and the power he possessed is not comparable to that of the previous one.

Any ruler has many kinds of confidants, some are super powerful and have great power, and some are a very ordinary guard, or even just a cook.

After the fleet landed, Li An shook hands with the greeted Azim for a while, and then saw Azim stunned to see the Great Tang fleet landing and continued ashore. Surprised speechless. In his life, he had not seen these irons. For pimples, the surprise is hard to describe in words.

This Aqimu is a skillful bow horse general, and he is quite confident in the battle strength of the war horse. However, when he saw the armored convoy of the Great Tang Empire, he was still completely shocked. He is not a fool, just take a look. It can be found that the battle strength of these armored war chariots is far more than that of heavy cavalry, and even there is no comparability at all, and the size difference is too big.

Although he had long known that the Great Tang had an armored car, he walked faster than a warhorse, and the knife and gun could not hurt him, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he was shocked.

All of Azim’s men were also shocked, and everyone was stunned by the iron turtles who were able to walk automatically.

In such a scene, Li An has seen it countless times. Every time you go to a place, as long as the equipment is exposed, it will attract such exaggerated attention, and every time you look at these unsophisticated villagers, Li An and the soldiers under your command can Have a very proud feeling.

“General Aqimu, haven’t seen these armored cars! It doesn’t matter. I have a chance today. Let’s take a look!”

Li An said very politely, and let one of the cars stop by the roadside for Azim to visit for himself.

Azim said excitedly: “Many thanks Minister Li, it’s really amazing that such a big iron pimple can go so fast.”

When he was finished, he walked to the armored car.

Li An laughed, pulled a scimitar from the waist of an Arab soldier, and then slashed to Tank before everyone responded.

“Dangdang…”

Due to the excessive force, the blade collided violently with the armored car, which not only made a lot of sparks, but also made a loud noise, which shocked everyone around.

Naturally, Qi Mu was also taken aback, but he soon realized that this was Li An’s performance showing the defensive power of the armored car, so he immediately relaxed.

But when he saw that the scimitar in Li An’s hand had been rolled, his heart was still very shocked. The elite soldiers under his command had the best weapons, but they could face these iron knots. There is no point in using it.

Aqimu quickly looked towards the Great Tang Tank being cut, and found that a not-so-deep knife mark appeared in the cut position, and the depth was almost negligible.

Obviously, the scimitar not at all caused serious damage to the armored car, but the scimitar itself was damaged by the armored car. If these armored cars attacked his soldiers, his soldiers would not be able to fight back. force.

“Azimu, do you want to cut a few times, try the hardness of our Great Tang armored car.”

Li An handed the machete to Azim, said with a smile.

Aqimu took the machete with a smile, opened the mouth and said: “No need, I have seen it just now, hehe!”

After talking, hand the machete to the soldier behind you, and then tap the tank with your fingers to feel the thickness of the tank.

The reason why he didn’t hack himself was naturally because he believed that he couldn’t hack, maybe he chopped with too much force, and would also cut off the machete, so he was ashamed.

In addition, the Great Tang Tank has been painted. After Li An’s chop, he has left another ugly scar. If he can not tell good from bad and cut a few knives, he will leave a few more tanks. A scar, which is not so good.

With a few taps with your fingers, you can really feel the thickness of the armor, and it will not damage the newly painted paint on the tank, which is more ceremonial.

“The sound is thick and powerful, and it seems to be very thick. It can’t be hurt by the sword! What a great thing.”

Envious of Azim’s face, he was very shocked and frightened that the Great Tang army could be equipped with such a powerful weapon. Such a powerful army is simply not what they can fight, even if it is to gather all the soldiers and horses under his command. Not the opponent of this Great Tang Iron Armored Corps.

“It’s just average. Do I have more powerful weapons in the Great Tang? Go, go in and see.”

Li An said very generously.

After all, there is no possibility of stealing teachers. No one can learn the manufacturing technology of the armored cars of the Great Tang Empire. The engine alone is a barrier they can’t pass, and rubber tires are not something they can build.

“Many thanks Minister Li, how to get in here.”

Azim was very happy. He walked around the armored car. Although he found a door-like position, the door was closed, so he could not enter.

Li An opened the mouth and said: “Open all doors and windows.”

Upon hearing the order, the main hatch of the tail section, the emergency entrance at the top, and the driver’s entrance at the front left were all opened. Suddenly, the internal structure of Tank was exposed to everyone.

Azim and his subordinates were shocked when they saw the complex structure inside the car. Such a complex structure made them unimaginable. They could not believe that there would be such a complicated mechanical structure under the sky.

Because the pilot’s door and the emergency door at the top are relatively small, only the large rear door is the most suitable for access.

Li An beckoned to signal that all the soldiers except the driver got out of the car, and then personally took these guys to Tank.

Because he had never seen these things, after entering the vehicle, Azim was too scared to touch any parts, for fear of causing an accident.
