The Three Kingdoms

Now that the imperial court is successful, but wants to abandon Jinling City and move the capital to Chang'an City, many people will think that the imperial court is a little bit overjoyed.

At the same time, today's Jinling City is a huge city with nearly 500 million people. Once the capital is moved, it will have a great impact on Jinling's people's hearts.

As for the imperial court, the structure centered on Jinling has stabilized. Once the capital is moved to Chang'an, it will also cause many battles in the imperial court because of the transfer of the capital.

Many problems are intertwined, and it may really cause a chaos in the Wu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, although Chang'an City is good, Jinling City has already become the capital that the people of Great Wu yearn for. Once His Majesty wants to move the capital of Great Wu, it will inevitably cause chaos in the government and even shake the foundation of the country!"

Zhuge Jun glanced at Sun Quan, gritted his teeth, his eyes burst into a resolution, risking his attitude of offending Sun Quan, he also persuaded: "This matter is not worth the gain, and I do not agree with it!"

"That's right, you're right. It's true. Once the capital is moved, it will inevitably cause chaos. But we can't just focus on the present. The court can afford and bear the losses in front of us, but it is related to future development. But you can't take half a step back, Ziheng, when you are in your position, you have to take a long-term view, we have to look at the future!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan took a sip of tea and smiled slightly. Instead of getting angry, he said in a somewhat harmonious voice: "Chang'an City is now a place where east and west meet. It is a sure thing. In the next hundred years, even if there is another step in shipping, To form an alternation of sea areas and connect the eastern and western territories, but to achieve the idea of ​​substituting sea routes for land routes, I guess it’s a bit mysterious, and it’s the right way to do it, so the Silk Road is still the center of Wu’s connection to the west. Once we win this battle The Roman Empire has conquered the western land, and Chang'an City will usher in another grand feat!"

He paused, took another sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued: "The most important thing is that the current location of Jinling City is no longer suitable for becoming the capital of the Great Wu. Chang'an is the best place to be the center of the town. Living in the east of the Yangtze River, if you only command the Central Plains, it’s okay, it’s harmless, but commanding the whole world, commanding the eastern and western territories, is really not enough!”

Jinling City was the best capital city in the Jiangdong era, and it could barely support it in the era when Sun Quan was king, but in the era of Tianquan, it was already a little powerless, unable to take care of east, west, north, south.

This can be seen from the operation of the government.

Sun Quan's desire to move the capital was not a sudden fever.

He is considered.

Moving the capital to Chang'an is beneficial for the imperial court to control the western territory, and at the same time, it can also take into account the Central Plains territory. The most important thing is that Chang'an was also the capital city in the past. As long as it is built, once the Grand Canal is fully opened, the traffic will extend in all directions, and it can be worthy of the Great Wu Dynasty. capital.

He has already considered that once Rome is defeated, he will adopt a system of enfeoffment of princes handed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty in the territory of the Roman Empire, and seal off all these unreachable territories.

What he wants is not territory.

Just a history.

A history of conquest of the Western European continent.

And the main territory of the Great Wu Dynasty has been stabilized, the land of the Central Plains, and the six states in the west, as long as these territories can be stabilized.

So Chang'an City has become the most important link.

Only when the capital of the imperial court is located in Chang'an, can the six western states be completely suppressed, and the six western states will not be left out of the mystery.

"It is true that what I am considering is not as far-sighted as His Majesty's, but I believe that even if this matter is feasible, it needs to be delayed!" Zhuge Jun pondered for a while, but he could not refute Sun Quan's words, so he could only offer a piece of advice.

"I understand that this matter cannot be rushed!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded, thinking that Zhuge Jun's consideration was very solid, and he said in a deep voice, "I asked you to come today, not to start moving the capital right now, but to tell you that I have already planned to hand over the matter of moving the capital to you." You handle it, you are the governor of Yongzhou, shepherding Yongzhou and suppressing Chang'an, it is most appropriate for you to do this!"

"Your Majesty has an order, and I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

Zhuge Jun trembled all over, his eyes were clear but bright.

Moving the capital may not be a good thing for the imperial court in a short period of time, and it may even damage some of the people's hearts that have just stabilized. As for the future, there may be a reason that he cannot see. His vision is not as far-sighted as Sun Quan's.

But it is undeniable that.This matter is definitely not a bad thing for Yongzhou.

If the imperial court moved the capital to Chang'an City, Yongzhou, a prefecture directly under the central government, would surpass Wuzhou, the first prefecture in the Great Wu, which had more than ten years of experience in the Great Wu Dynasty. This was also a great honor for him.

"I have made up my mind, moving the capital is imperative, but moving the capital is not a simple matter. Before I annihilate the Roman Empire, I will definitely not reveal a little bit about moving the capital to disturb the hearts of the people, but you must do this preparation work. Let's do it!"

Sun Quan put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head slightly, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and said quietly: "The scale of Chang'an City needs to be expanded a little bit, if it can't surpass Jinling City, it can't win the approval of the courtiers, but this matter But we can’t let Jinling City know in advance, this will affect the stability of the Central Plains, so I can only rely on you, relying on Yongzhou to make up for the shortcomings of Chang’an, from now on, you will secretly cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to expand Chang’an!”

"I understand!"

Zhuge Jun nodded, with a firm look in his eyes.

There is another unspoken meaning in Sun Quan's words, that is, if something happens to the move of the capital, he will be blamed for it, but he is willing.

If you want to be honored, you will inevitably have to take risks.

It is difficult to achieve great things if you are afraid of the head and the tail.

This is his opportunity for Zhuge Jun to fly to the sky. If this is accomplished, his official career will be smooth, and he will also stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin. People will no longer say that Zhuge Jun is the most ineffective child of the Zhuge family.

"Haha, very good!"

Sun Quan smiled, turned his head, and patted him on the shoulder: "If I want it, it's your momentum, but the arrival of the Great Wu's prosperity is not for you to slack off. Many people in the court have lost their energy to fight for the front. Among the civil servants, there are very few who can retain this kind of momentum. I am very optimistic about you. Even in the prosperous age, we still need some vanguards who will charge forward for the overall situation of the government. You are my vanguard!"

Sun Quan is still very satisfied with Zhuge Jun's way.

"I am extremely honored, sir!"

Zhuge Jun also smiled, starting today, he will enter the series of Sun Quan's confidants.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Cao Yang, the accompanying eunuch, walked in with small impatient steps from the outside, and hurriedly saluted.

"What's the matter?"

"Officer Pang has an urgent military request outside the hall!"

"Urgent military situation?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up: "Xuan!"

"promise!"

Cao Yang bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!" Zhuge Jun bowed his hands and saluted. He was now focused on the land of Yongzhou, and he was not very curious about the frontline battles.

"Go!" Sun Quan nodded.

"Chen Pang Tong pays homage to His Majesty!"

Pang Tong strode in, bowed his hands, and after saluting, he handed over a military report: "Report to Your Majesty, this is the military report sent by the third war zone, please take a look at it!"

"Report from the third war zone?"

Sun Quan took the military memorial, spread it out, and read out in a low voice: "Chen He Qi, Your Majesty, on May [-], the two main armies of our third war zone encircled Hadrian's Great Wall from left to right and attacked Hadrian's Wall. The Roman Gaul Legion fought to the death for seven days, and finally defeated them, but..."

*********************

Go back in time to a month ago.

Just entered May in the northwestern province of Britain of the Roman Empire. The climate here is very mild, and the spring is full of rejuvenation, and the ice and snow are melting everywhere.

Hadrian's Wall.

This is the most majestic building in the British province of this era, and it is also a defense line defending the northwestern territory of Rome.

Wu Jun, who was expelled from Britain in the past and is now making a comeback, and the Gaul Legion guarding Hadrian's Great Wall have been confronting each other in this Great Wall for more than a month. die.
