Li Yan is indeed moving the capital.

In fact, Li Yan had long wanted to move the capital.

However, before this, Yan Yun had not completely recovered, so even if Li Yan wanted to move the capital, he could not move the capital.

Then why did Li Yan move his capital to Yanjing? It is because the land of Youzhou is surrounded by the sea on the left, Taihang on the right, Juyong on the north, Heji on the south, and Chengtianfu on the country?

This is of course one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason why Li Yan wants to move the capital.

The main reasons why Li Yan moved the capital from Kaifeng to Yanjing were as follows:

First, Yanjing is a country of Tianfu, and is very suitable for being the capital. This has been proven by history, so there is no need to say more.

Second, this is the most important. Although Li Yan has driven the Jin people to the north, Li Yan did not relax his vigilance at all. The Mongols who have not yet shown their mountains and waters are also a big concern for Li Yan. In addition, not only the northeast and the northeast, but also the Qiang people in the northwest, that is, the Xixia, have to be careful, so the capital must focus on the radiation to the north. The Yan land, the dragon coiled tiger occupies, the northern control of the Guandong Plain and the Mongolian grassland, the westward connection between the Yun land, and the Shuo Desert can radiate very well to the entire northern region.

Third, unlike the previous Central Plains dynasties, the Dazhong established by Li Yan also had Goryeo. More than a dozen states in Japan. Kaifeng was too far away from those dozen states and could not radiate to those dozen states. Yanjing was relatively much better. It was connected to mountains and seas in the east and adjacent to the Bohai Bay. It had convenient transportation and could better control Goryeo and more than a dozen states in Japan.

Fourth, Yan land is not only in the northernmost part of the North China Plain, looking down at the entire Central Plains, controlling the Jianghuai River and Huai River in the south, and supplemented by developed transportation, the control of the south may not be much worse than in Kaifeng.

Fifth, the Yanyun area has been under the control of foreign tribes for hundreds of years, and the personnel composition of the area is extremely complex. Khitan, Xi tribe, Bohai, Mongolia, and people from all tribes have, that is, the Han people in the area are not traditional Han people, but Han. Therefore, the people in the Yanyun area have an ordinary sense of belonging to the Central Plains, which is also one of the main reasons why the Northern Song Dynasty lost Yanyun and finally perished. In this case, Li Yan sent a few capable officials and officials to manage the Yanyun area, and could not change this status quo in a short period of time. Only when Li Yan turned it into the capital and the center of the country, can the people there find a sense of belonging immediately and let the people there find a sense of belonging.

Sixth, in the Central Plains after Emperor Wu of Han, the wealthy clan began to develop vigorously. This wealthy clan went through the Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, and even the Northern Song Dynasty. Not only did it not perish, but it became stronger and stronger.

How strong are these wealthy families?

They were so powerful that they could control the imperial power and even overthrow the imperial power.

Looking back at history, there are many such examples, so I will go into details here.

During the process of establishing Dazhong, Li Yan destroyed countless wealthy families. It can be said that the wealthy families were Li Yan's biggest opponent in the rise.

When he obtained Goryeo, Japan, Central and Southern China, Li Yan used his iron-blooded skills to kill all the rich families in these areas, so Dazhong's rule in these areas was so stable.

But after arriving in the Central Plains, Li Yan did not kill him due to various concerns.

So much so that after less than two years, these wealthy families were in a trend of rising again, and even intended to influence Dazhong's policies. The time when they forced Li Yan to change the candidates for the editorial ceremony was actually their work.

Li Yan has always been very strong, so how could those rich people point fingers at him?

The key is that Li Yan, who is familiar with history, is too clear about the harm of these wealthy families.

Therefore, Li Yan will never allow these powerful clan forces to rise up!

The area where these wealthy families are more concentrated is Kaifeng, the former capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are hundreds of wealthy families of all sizes gathered here. They are firmly tied together through means such as forming clans, marriages, alliances, mutual benefit, and mutual benefit. Even Li Yan would be very difficult to completely break this bond.

Moreover, these wealthy families have now begun to attack the civil and military officials in the middle school, trying to tie them together with the civil and military officials in the middle school to form a new wealthy family.

Faced with this situation, migration is a very good solution to at least relieve it.

Yan land has been repeatedly warned over the years, and the local wealthy forces have been severely damaged, especially when Li Yan controlled the Yanyun area, the wealthy families there were too many purges.

Therefore, the powerful forces in Yandi were so small that they could almost be ignored.

Therefore, if the capital of the country is moved from Kaifeng to Yanjing, it can control the power of the rich.

Seventh, the Northern Song Dynasty has been operating in Kaifeng for more than 200 years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although Li Yan and Dazhong have won the hearts of most people in Kaifeng, there are still many brainwashed people who hope that Zhao Song can restore the country, and the people in Yanjing have no sense of belonging to each other, so this situation does not exist.

Eighth, if Dazhong announced that he would lead the capital from Kaifeng to Yanjing, he would be able to numb the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who were always guarding against the Central Army crossing the river to attack the Song Dynasty.

Ninth, from the perspective of strategic defense, Kaifeng is not much safer than Yanyun. If Yanyun is lost, it will be difficult to protect Kaifeng. The two golden men went south to prove this very well.

Tenth, if you move the capital to Yanjing, as long as you promote it well, you can add a lot of political points to Li Yan.

Eleventh, from Li Yan's personal emotions, there will always be only one in Kyoto, that is, Beijing in later generations and Yanjing in present.

For these eleven reasons, how could Li Yan not move the capital?

Not long after, three things suddenly broke out that were both unexpected and reasonable.

The first thing is that because the national boundaries are not clearly divided and because the two countries have accumulated too much hatred, the Central Army and the Jin army have had a large-scale friction on the border.

The second thing is that a Tatar tribe led tens of thousands of cavalry to the front of the pass, claiming to borrow food from Dazhong to spend the winter - Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu and others analyzed that this may be the Mongolian tribes testing Dazhong's attitude towards them.

The third thing is that the Han people in Yanjing repeatedly bullyed the Han people in Yanjing, which finally caused the Han people in Yanjing to attack the Han people in Yanjing. A large-scale fight broke out between the two sides, killing and injuring dozens of people.

Shortly after these three things happened, it was the winter solstice.

As usual, the Dazhong court also held a ceremony to worship the sky.

At the ceremony of worshiping heaven, Li Yan faced the civil and military officials, the people of the world, and his more than 400 children, and said loudly: "I will pacify the Dongyi, determine the Southern Barbarians, drive the Northern Di, seek the Central Plains, regain the Yanjing and Liaozhou, and continue the orthodox China. Today I will worship the ancestors of the Li family to report the matter. Furthermore, I will set a rule for the descendants of the future generations: I will not be in harmony, do not pay compensation, do not cede land, do not pay tribute, the emperor will guard the country's borders, and the king will die in the country!"

While Li Yan's words made many people feel excited, they were also a little confused. They didn't quite understand what Li Yan meant?

Li Yan did not make these people wonder for too long, and soon announced: "After careful consideration, I decided to move the capital...! I decided to move the capital from Tokyo to Yanjing..."
