Qian Song

Chapter 361 Five years! (Ask for a monthly pass!)
...

Hongwu 13 years.

That is, the fifth year when the Daqian Dynasty completed the unification.

Harem, Huining Palace.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the Huining Palace in the Yanfu Palace in Bianliang City, Tokyo, but the Huining Palace in the Forbidden City, a newly built imperial palace in Nanjing Jinling City.

Three years ago, that is, the tenth year of the founding of the Dagan Dynasty, Li Cun ordered to move the capital from Tokyo back to Nanjing.

There are many reasons why Li Cun moved the capital again.

First of all, the Forbidden City in Nanjing, which has been built for ten years, has finally been completed.

The Forbidden City is located in the center of the central axis of Jinling City in Nanjing, centered on the three halls of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony. It covers an area of ​​about 190 million square meters, with a construction area of ​​about 39 square meters. There are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine houses, which are much larger than the palaces of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the two are not even comparable.

Li Cun now has more than 3000 women. The narrow palace of the Zhao Song Dynasty is not enough for Li Cun and his own women to live in, but it has obviously become crowded three years ago.

The point is, three years ago, a large number of Li Cun's sons were about to grow up, and they were no longer suitable to live in Li Cun's harem, so they had to be released from the palace.

Similar to the small palace of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the imperial city of the Zhao Song Dynasty was also small, and it was not enough for Li Cun's many children and grandchildren to live in.

As for the newly built Forbidden City in Jinling City, Nanjing, at the beginning of its construction, Li Cun asked the Ministry of Industry to build 99 rooms according to the Forbidden City in his memory, and specifically told the Ministry of Industry to build a larger one. There are many, and I have many children, too small to live in.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry may have been frightened by Li Cun's strong fertility. They not only built a palace that was more than twice the size of the Forbidden City in history, but also built a huge imperial city covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers. .

For this reason, the Ministry of Industry expanded Jinling City twice (one after Li Cun unified the entire southern region, and the other after Li Cun completed the unification), making Jinling City cover a terrifying area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers , It is more than six times that of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and it can even accommodate tens of millions of people without any problem.

This is because the Ministry of Industry considers that the big city is not easy to defend, and is limited by the terrain environment, otherwise the area of ​​Jinling City may be even larger.

With such a scale, Jinling City is more suitable as a capital city than Bianliang City in terms of the city itself.

Of course, the reason why Li Cun chose to move the capital from Tokyo to Nanjing is definitely not the only reason.

Geographically speaking, Bianliang City in Tokyo is really not a good capital, at least it is far from being able to compare with Jinling City in Nanjing.

Tokyo Bianliang City is located on the flat land of the Central Plains. As long as an enemy crosses the Yellow River, there will be no natural dangers and passes to defend. One day at a fast pace, you can come to Tokyo Bianliang City and threaten the safety of Tokyo Bianliang City. The history of the Northern Song Dynasty And the demise of the Kingdom of Jin are the best evidence.

Furthermore, although the Central Plains area also produces grain, the output is far inferior to that of the large granary in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the capital is in Yingtianfu, Nanjing, and the core area of ​​the Daqian Dynasty certainly does not need to worry about food anymore.

People may definitely ask, why didn't Li Cun choose Beijing as the capital like the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in history. "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country" sounds so crazy, cool and shocking, and can inspire people's hearts?
First of all, the national policy of the Dagan Dynasty was different from that of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The reason why the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties set their capital in Beijing was because these three dynasties wanted to control both the Central Plains and the grasslands, so Beijing was their best choice as the capital.

What's more, the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties never thought of establishing a sea power empire through the outward development of the sea, and some even practiced seclusion.

Under such circumstances, there was really no need for the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to locate their capital in the south.

But the Daqian Dynasty was different.

Under Li Cun's leadership, the Dagan Dynasty has developed towards a sea power empire. No, to be precise, the Dagan Dynasty walked on both land and sea. In other words, the national policy of the Dagan Dynasty is not only To become a great and powerful country with land power, it must also become a great and powerful country with sea power.

In this way, Tokyo and Beijing, which are relatively north and have far less developed waterways leading to the ocean than Nanjing, are obviously not as suitable as Nanjing to be the capital of the Daqian Dynasty.

Speaking of this, some people inevitably want to ask, then the Dagan Dynasty did not want the grasslands, and let the Jin and Xia countries in the north and the Mongolian tribes that had not yet been unified continue to threaten the frontier security of the Dagan Dynasty?
how is this possible.

How could Li Cun be such a short-sighted person?
In fact, one of the reasons why Li Cun moved the capital from Tokyo to Nanjing was to paralyze the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes and prepare for their subsequent extermination.

You read it right.

Li Cun planned to wipe out all the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes.

Correct.

It means literally, not simply convincing or expelling.

Li Cun's goal is to wipe out all the Jin people, Xixia people, and grassland tribes who did not submit to Sinicization, and then build cities in the Northeast and Mongolia regions in later generations, and move the Han people to live there.

Some people may say, this is not right, since Li Cun's goal is to wipe out all the Jin, Xia and Mongolian tribes, why did he move the center of gravity of the Dagan Dynasty to the south? Isn't this the opposite?

It is indeed a bit of a polar opposite.

But for one thing, after the capital was moved from Tokyo to Nanjing, the Dagan Dynasty's control over the sea must have been strengthened a lot. For this reason, it is not unacceptable to sacrifice a little control over the grassland area.

Second, if Li Cun hadn't moved the capital from Tokyo to Nanjing, and assumed that he had no intention of fighting over the grasslands, the Jin, Xia, and Mongolian tribes might have huddled together to fight against the Daqian Dynasty.

In the eyes of the Jin, Xia and Mongolian tribes, the Dagan Dynasty was too powerful, and it was simply not something they could defeat.

Therefore, with the Dagan Dynasty watching them from the sidelines, the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes would only be wary of the Dagan Dynasty's annexation of them and would not fight among themselves.

In this way, it will be much more difficult for Li Cun to destroy the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes.

But vice versa is different.

After the Dagan Dynasty shifted its center of gravity to the south, the tense heartstrings of the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes will relax.

After the Dagan Dynasty negotiated peace with Jin and Xia, under the instruction of Li Cun, the Dagan Dynasty opened several large-scale negotiations in the border area to trade with the Jin, Xia and Mongolian ministries. needed.

Later, there were some frictions between the Dagan Dynasty and the Jin and Xia countries as well as the Mongolian tribes, and there were even partial wars.

However, under Li Cun's instructions, the Dagan court did not use force to solve the problem, but used political means or economic sanctions to solve the problem, which made the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes mistakenly think that the Dagan dynasty really didn't want to expand to the grassland. Focus on developing within your own Central Plains, or develop outward through the ocean.

There were contradictions between the Jin and Xia countries and the various tribes of Mongolia, and there were very big contradictions.

At the beginning, after the Liao Kingdom was annihilated by Qian and Jin, a vast unclaimed land appeared in the west of Liaoning.

These unclaimed lands were scattered and occupied by various parts of the grasslands formerly belonging to the Liao Kingdom.

Jin and Xia, especially the former, are countries with aggressive ambitions.

After the Daqian Dynasty closed the way for the Jin Kingdom to invade south, the Jin Kingdom naturally developed to the left and right.

Goryeo on the right, faced with the sudden rise of the powerful Jin Kingdom, can only be forced to seek peace and surrender to the Jin Kingdom, paying tribute every year, and congratulating every year, and is willing to be the lackey of the Jin Kingdom and send troops to cooperate with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Daqian Dynasty And conquer the tribes of the grassland.

In this way, Jin Guo also seriously interfered in Korea's internal affairs.

Wanyan Wu Qimai asked Wang Kai to abolish his original queen Gongrui and Empress Dowager Ren and marry Wanyan Wu Qimai's daughter Princess E instead.

Goryeo is actually not willing to do gold.

This is mainly due to the huge gap in the reversal of the subordinate relationship.

From the Jurchen tribe’s submission to Goryeo in the past and Goryeo’s sense of superiority over Jurchen (it is said that Wanyan’s family also came from Goryeo), to the Jin Dynasty and Goryeo during the reign of Emperor Ruizong of Goryeo, and now Goryeo has become Jin Dynasty. The DPRK's vassal state will naturally make the Korean people's psychology seriously unbalanced.

Just like the opinion expressed by Minister Yin Yanyi: "Jurchen is originally a descendant of my dynasty, so I am a servant, and I am the next to the sky. People who are close to me have belonged to my dynasty for a long time, and my dynasty is safe, but I am a minister!"

But Jin Guo is like a delicate little girl like Gao Li, who doesn't care about Gao Li's feelings at all, and puts on a posture of "If you don't follow me, I will beat you".

Goryeo couldn't beat it, and it didn't make sense when it was reasonable, and it didn't dare to resist.

In the end, Wang Kai could only accept the canonization that Wanyan Wu begged to buy, as Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhu Kingdom, and King of Koryo.

At the same time, Goryeo began to use the reign title of the Jin Dynasty and officially followed Jin Zhizhengshuo.

Wang Kai informed the Taimiao and the mausoleums of previous kings about this matter.

This marks that the relationship between the Jin Dynasty and Goryeo is on the right track.

But then again, because of Goryeo's absolute surrender, up to now, Goryeo's ancestral temple has been preserved.

Of course, this is mainly because the Kingdom of Jin has focused its development on the vast land of western Liaoning.

Since the Daqian Dynasty moved the capital from Tokyo to Nanjing, Jin Kingdom finally let go of the wariness of the Daqian Dynasty, and then the Left Marshal's Mansion headed by Wanyan Zonghan and the Right Marshal's Mansion headed by Wanyan Zongjun continued to invade and develop westward, conquering One steppe tribe after another.

At the same time, Xixia also took this opportunity to expand to the northwest and wiped out several grassland tribes.

Because Li Cun killed Yelu Dashi, who established Xiliao in history, the dragons in the western Liaoning area had no leader.

The Kingdom of Jin and Xixia split up and attacked them, and both seized a considerable amount of territory in Xiliao, especially the former, which almost reached the Xinjiang region of later generations.

During this process, both the Jin Kingdom and Xixia had many wars with the grassland tribes, and there were even frictions between the Jin Kingdom and Xixia due to territorial grabs.

This caused huge casualties in the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes, and it can be said that all three lost.

The point is that because of the mutual wars, there was a huge hatred between the Jin, Xia and Mongolian tribes, and it was impossible to unite again.

The key point is that without the threat of a powerful foreign enemy, the Daqian Dynasty, since Wanyan Xie also died, the seeds of internal strife planted by the Kingdom of Jin due to the dispute over the Crown Prince began to sprout, and it was only waiting for the situation to be barely under control. Once Wanyan and Wu Qimai died, the internal strife in the Kingdom of Jin would definitely escalate into killing each other immediately, and then abolish their martial arts.

Now, Wanyan Wu Qimai is dying of illness, the opportunity that Li Cun wants to destroy the Jin, Xia and Mongolia tribes is finally coming.

At this time, in the Huining Palace, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who looked exactly the same as Zhu Lian was standing in front of the mirror dignifiedly. Girls become women's buns.

This beautiful girl is Princess Roujia, the daughter of Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian.

Tonight is a good day for Princess Roujia to go to bed for Li Cun, so the mother-in-law Zhu Lian will personally make up and comb Princess Roujia's hair.

in fact--

Princess Roujia could have waited another two years to serve Li Cun.

But as soon as Zhao Huan had a chance, he would entrust someone to send a letter to Princess Roujia, asking Princess Roujia to go to bed early, and then begged Li Cun to reward Zhao Huan with something, so that others would no longer dare to despise Zhao Huan, let alone clean up Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan was stupid, ungrateful, and self-willed, which caused the royal family and clan of Zhao Song Dynasty to be wiped out by Li Cun. All the men were imprisoned and all the women were reduced to Li Cun's playthings. Children are still very good.

Princess Roujia clearly remembered that when Zhao Huan was the crown prince, she wanted stars, but Zhao Huan would never give her the moon and loved her very much.

Later, after Zhao Huan became emperor, in order to stabilize his own imperial power, he soon made Zhao Chen the prince, and at the same time made Princess Roujia the princess.

In other words, just like Yelu Yuliyan was the last princess of the Liao Empire, Princess Roujia was also the last princess of the Zhao Song Dynasty in this era. If future generations write novels, Princess Roujia must be an important daughter. One of the protagonists.

While helping Princess Roujia comb her hair, Zhu Lian said, "Why are you in a hurry? Although you are an adult, it will be better for you to wait two more years to attend bed."

No, but Princess Roujia said firmly: "Could it be possible for my daughter to escape this incident two years later?"

At the beginning, the daughters of the royal family and the clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty who were sent to Li Cun's harem included not only adult women, but also many underage girls, and some even in their mother's womb. The most typical examples are Xing Bingyi, Zhu Fengying, and Zhao Fujin, the emperor of Xunde. They all entered Li Cun's harem as pregnant women, and all of them later gave birth to daughters.

Although Li Cun has never clarified the identities of these underage girls, but according to the lessons learned from the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, and the royal family and clan of the Liao Empire, all the underage girls became Li Cun's concubines after they became adults. It is clear that as long as these underage girls from the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty become adults, they must all become Li Cun's concubines.

Is it difficult to accept?
This is the victor, the prince, and the loser, and the daughters of the royal family and clan cannot choose.

Furthermore, that is, the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Daliao Empire and Zhao Song Dynasty were destroyed, otherwise they would be admired by thousands of people when they were born, and they could enjoy the glory and wealth without working all their lives.

That's fair?
Furthermore, compared with the men in the Li Dynasty, Champa, Daliao Empire, Zhao Song Dynasty royal family and clan, these women in the Li Dynasty, Champa, Daliao Empire, Zhao Song Dynasty royal family and clan are really lucky too Too much, because men who belong to the royal family and clan of the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Daliao Empire, and Zhao Song Dynasty may be thrown into the four kingdoms as a prisoner as soon as they are born. They will never have freedom in their lives, absolutely It was dark.

Moreover, there are many such men in the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Daliao Empire, and Zhao Song Dynasty royal families and clans. After all, the captured royal daughters and The daughters of the clan can't all have daughters, can they?
Some saints may say, is it too cruel and wicked for Li Cun to do this, and they are just children? !

Then switch places.

Even if only one of these subjugated royal families and clans ran out, they might spend their entire lives trying to find a way to avenge Li Cun, or be used by those who wanted to use his name to rebel.

No matter what it is, it will definitely bring turmoil to the Daqian Dynasty.

In that case, more people would die.

So Li Cun must not be soft-hearted.

This is the pain of dynasty change, which must be experienced.

In fact, Li Cun was very kind if he didn't kill all the royal families and clans of Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Daliao Empire and Zhao Song Dynasty.

As for the former underage girls of the royal families and clans of the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Daliao Empire, and Zhao Song Dynasty, honestly speaking, Li Cun really does not lack a thousand or eight hundred women in their area. If Li Cun is willing, Li Cun can definitely accept more girls. More and better women.

But in order to maintain stability, Li Cun could only accept them all as ordered.

In fact, some people also suggested that Li Cun could reward his son with some women of the right age from the royal families and clans of the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, the Daliao Empire, and the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

But Li Cun considered that his sons might not be able to control these women who had hatred of destroying the country and killing relatives with Li Cun.

Also, if some of these women who have hatred for destroying the country and killing relatives with Li Cun have a scheming plan to provoke the relationship between Li Cun and his son, then maybe Li Cun will have a father and son here. The tragedy of cannibalism.

Moreover, it is not a good thing to forcibly accept these women who were wiped out by Li Cun and killed their relatives as their playthings. Li Cun does not want his son to bear these karma.

Therefore, Li Cun finally kept all the royal daughters and clan daughters of the Li Dynasty, Zhancheng, Daliao Empire, and Zhao Song Dynasty by his side. If there is retribution, I, Li Cun, will take them all and never keep them for myself. offspring.

Based on Li Cun's thoughts, Princess Roujia is right. From the moment she entered Li Cun's harem, even if she was only six years old, she was destined to become Li Cun's woman sooner or later, unless she Be an old maid for the rest of her life, otherwise she will serve Li Cun sooner or later.

Zhu Lian was very clear about this, so she sighed leisurely, and did not persuade Princess Roujia anymore, but continued to comb Princess Roujia's hair.

Seeing that Zhu Lian was not in a good mood, Princess Roujia persuaded Zhu Lian instead: "Your Majesty, don't worry about your daughter, she is very willing to serve the official family."

Fearing that Zhu Lian would not believe her, Princess Roujia explained: "My daughter never wants to experience the Jingkang change again. Only a woman who becomes the strongest man in the world can rest easy for her life, and the official family is undisputedly the most powerful man in the world." He is a strong man, so if he goes to serve the officials, his daughter will have no complaints or regrets."

After a pause, Princess Roujia continued without hiding anything: "And my father's life in Siguo City is indeed not good. He has been waiting for me to grow up for so many years. I can't let him wait any longer."

Hearing what Princess Roujia said, Zhu Lian was relieved, and then she said to Princess Roujia: "Your father is too cowardly, he was the emperor, and he was so miserable in the city of the four countries. ability!"

Princess Roujia helped Zhao Huan and said: "People in the clan hate my father for letting them go through the Jingkang change. In addition, my father did not take care of him in the palace. Many of them have a caretaker in the palace. Naturally, they don't take my father seriously. Waiting for an opportunity to avenge my father."

Now Zhu Lian really doesn't want to bring up Zhao Huan, the wimp who disappointed her so much and has to rely on her daughter to protect her, so she changed the subject and said: "I have already asked the officials, and the officials will definitely take pity on you." of."

Zhu Lian once again told Princess Roujia: "Remember, after lying down, just follow what I taught you, the first time it will definitely hurt a little, don't be afraid, bear with it and it will pass..."
