7. Lu Jiu moved the capital
Gao Yue’s plan to carry it out in public is as follows:
The resolution of the Xuanwu Army involves two major separatist towns, Wei Bo and Zibo, and Zibo, so the speed must be fast. They must be handled with decisiveness before the other party reacts. In short, from now on, a capable bureaucratic team must be prepared, as well as a careful military plan, and a detailed aftermath must be carried out.
The ultimate goal is to transform the Xuanwu Army, which had been semi-separatist for a long time, into the critical area of Bian and Song dynasties, into the "confidential Secretariat" of the court.
As for the excuse to open up the trouble, it is naturally that the Secretary of the Central Committee forced the acquisition of Bozhou, which now belongs to the Xuanwu Army, and wanted to classify it into the newly established "Huaixi (Huaicai) Province" to anger the Xuanwu Army.
"There is also a backup account, which can be done in both ways," Gao Yue added.
That is the Weigong Cao Canal that he dug in Jiminggang, Luzhou. After entering Huai through Shouchun, he walked through Yingshui and Caishui, but in the end he was still at the Pipagou in Tongji Canal in Bianzhou, and then into Heyin Transportation Courtyard to connect the Yellow River waterway. It was a different path with the Tongji Canal in Bian Song (i.e. Bian River). Then he could mobilize the imperial soldiers and horses of the Dongdu, Heyang, Zhenghua and Chenxu areas to build a new military barrier at Pipagou.
New construction in Kanto, or even just repairing the fortress, can touch the most sensitive nerves between the court and the town. If you want to turn against each other, this is the most convenient way for either party.
Henan Road was the hub for the Tang Dynasty to maintain the entire canal transportation system. During the Anshi Rebellion, it became a fierce tug-of-war between the government and the rebels. For a long time, rebellions and disputes were on the rise and fall. In the end, the Tang Dynasty compromised. All prefectures and counties were not allowed to pay, and all tax and personnel power were handed over to the governors of Henan in exchange for the comprehensiveness of the canals. He also hoped to use the powerful army of Henan Road to fight against Heshuo in the north and Jianghuai in the south. However, the facts proved that this was just wishful thinking: especially the Xuanwu army, which guarded the Bian Song Dynasty, soon became a domineering existence that surpassed the Tianxiong Army (Weibo) and Ping Lu Army (Ziqing).
Therefore, if the Xuanwu Army was solved and the provincialization was transformed, the imperial court would have no worries about the national economy. In this way, it would be natural to further suppress the Tianxiong Army, pacify the Lu Army, and then pacify the German Army, and Lu Long Army, so as to unify the world again.
At the same time, the provinces in the core of the hinterland were properly fragmented so that they could not resist the central government's forces, and slowly brought the provincial leadership to the central government's control and eliminated the source of military chaos.
To accomplish all this, there must be three major conditions.
First, the central and local prime ministers and parliament have strong implementation power. As long as it causes obstacles, whether it is imperial power or local separatist regimes, they must be ruthlessly eliminated;
Second, the prime ministers have to work hard and be the most powerful elites of this era to achieve such a extraordinary feat without being restricted;
The third is that the elite prime ministers have to formulate a set of perfect and self-consistent regulations, and long-term grasp of political system, which is arriving in later generations. According to the standards set by Gao Yue, this system is "the era of peace can allow relatively mediocre governance to be carried out, and it can also guide China to develop and expand; and in the era of turmoil, it can also enable the talents of heroes to be displayed and save China."
But whether this system will eventually be destroyed in the storm of the alliance between heroes and populist heroes with great ambitions is that Gao Yue has no time to care about. Even if it lasts for two or three hundred years, as long as this system has been achieved, then the "people's expectations" of the Chinese people in a world of great changes will eventually have hope and a template that will not stop sinking or be numb.
This is exactly what Gao Yue tried hard to do. Whether he fought or compromised, he was sincere and he was hypocritical.
But the road ahead is quite difficult. Wars, ideological changes, political system reforms, etc., all require Gao Yue to trek through all obstacles. He needs to long for allies, even the centrists.
"Everyone, what we want is not only a comprehensive discussion between the Prime Minister of the Secretariat and the Xingzhongshu Provincial Committee, but also a quick communication. As long as the Xuanwu Army is solved, it will be divided and assigned to different Xingzhongshu Provincial Committees, and completely smash any attempt to rely on the grain transportation. In addition, we must quickly dredge the Zhanqu that went northeast of the Bian Song Dynasty, and it will be in parallel with the Yongji Canal, which is the basis for us to eradicate the Lu Army and the Tianxiong Army in the future."
There is no need to say much about the Yongji Canal. As for the Zhan Canal, it was dug by Wu Zetian. It was introduced into the Bian River and flowed eastward into Juyeze (it was very huge at the time). This canal was also the predecessor of Guangji Canal of the Song Dynasty, with the purpose of transporting the rent and taxes around Yanzhou.
Now Gao Yue wants to use Zhanqu as a supply line to support the war against the Pinglu Army, so he has to solve the Xuanwu Army first.
因为“据取道淄青的日本请益僧(天海)秘密传回的蜡丸书所言,李师古虽窃据河南东道十二州之地,可真正能供应他平卢军所需的,便是兖,郓,曹,淄,青,濮这六州,六州农田富集,织造发达,且有盐,铜,铁等矿冶,兖,郓,曹,濮都是环绕巨野泽的,而青,淄则沿永济渠入海,而登,莱,沂,海这些州郡,按天海和尚所述,他从我淮海楚州山阳渎往登州前行,沿路全是山坂旷野,草木高深,蚊虻如雨,须行得七八十里,才能见到数户人家.”所以高岳的战略规划便是,数路出军,直指巨野泽,迫使李师古不得不据此和官军决战,随即将其歼灭.
After you all dispersed one after another, only Lu Zhi remained, and it seemed that he had something to say to Gao Yue.
On the autumn night, Lu Zhi's expression was very subtle. He roughly thought about why the emperor chose Gao Yue when Dengfeng was released, and Zheng Zhi. If it were still in the past, the emperor should trust him more than Zheng Zhi.
But nothing can be saved. Since the Pei Yanling incident, there have been irreparable cracks between him and the emperor.
Gao Yue seemed to see Lu Jiu's thoughts, so he was ready to persuade him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Zhi spoke first and asked Gao Yue, "Yi Song, now you and I work for the world. Since I was appointed as the prime minister, I have always adhered to this concept. I am not afraid of being trapped by my personal relationship with the Lord, but I am worried about you..."
These words left Gao Yue speechless.
After all, in private, I was too involved with the emperor and even the emperor's family.
Lu Zhi went further, "I don't know what did you and Zheng Wenming say on the Circular Mound a few days ago?"
Gao Yue was even silent and did not answer. He knew that it was impossible for Lu Zhi to ask Zheng Zhi to ask, so he could only ask himself.
Lu Zhi did not investigate it thoroughly, but his next words shocked Gao Yue even more: "There is no need to know anything. Yisong, you want to divide the Taoist system and the political system and do their own things. This should be the best prescription to solve the problem, but it is not enough to just divide the reason, and you must also divide the division into the bureau. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of calming the Bian Song Dynasty and conquering Wei Bo and Ziqing to move the subordinates of the Secretariat in the form of a shogunate to the east and move to Luoyang!"
