Chapter 314 Golden Powder Imperial Capital

It was also said that while everyone was laughing at me, the high gorges on both sides of the straits in front of the Jinfan boat came to the face.

Su Su smiled and said, "Here is here, Li Bai's famous poem "Wang Tianmen Mountain". The sky gate interrupts the Chu River, the clear water flows eastward and returns here. The green mountains on both sides of the river are facing each other, and the lonely sail comes from the sun."

Only then did Wang Qiang understand: "I learned it in elementary school, and it turns out that Tianmen Mountain is here in Wuhu."

Su Su smiled and said, "As the commander, you should look at the mountains, not the mountains, not the water. Brother Qiang knows what the poem's clear water flows eastward to this end?"

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Can water turn back?"

Su Su smiled and said, "When the Yangtze River reaches Wuhu and Nanjing, it does not rush eastward directly, but turns northward, so this area is not called Jiangnan, but Jiangdong! Because the water turns here, and the river surface is wide, the water situation becomes much smoother. What does it mean from a military perspective?"

Zhou Tai also said: "Nanjing is Jianye, where the Lord Gongsun Quan built his capital. You will arrive after a hundred miles."

Wang Qiang immediately understood: "It means that once Wuhu is thrown away, the enemy will go directly down the river and attack Nanjing, and it will be particularly easy if the water is not in a hurry?"

Su Su smiled and said, "The terrain of Nanjing is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is not particularly easy. However, as long as Hefei is lost in Chaohu, Nanjing will be over. Or if Anqing is lost in the upper reaches, Nanjing will be over. Therefore, a large-scale battle in ancient China, where the small one wins more, the battle of Feishui was a famous general named Xie An, who was determined to be the capital of Nanjing, sent 70,000 elite Northern Prefecture troops to take the initiative to attack to the Shou County area of ​​Hefei, and defeated them in one fell swoop when Fu Jian of the Former Qin Dynasty had not yet arrived at the time of gathering."

Wang Qiang was also happy: "Brother knows that Fu Jian, who threw the whip and broke the flow, is known as the originator of the map flat stream."

Su Su smiled and said, "It still verifies what General Gan said last night that if you want to win with less, you should take advantage of the opponent's first day before you even entered the state. Fu Jian unified Xichuan in the northern Central Plains and had a huge momentum. The horse-surgeon army and civilians set out from Chang'an and the Xichuan navy went downstream to 70,000. But this is not the dense warships gathered together in the interstellar war, but the logistics line and troop transport line are thousands of miles long, and there are dragging supplies everywhere. As long as you have the courage to go deep into the enemy's back, there are flaws everywhere. At the beginning, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was frightened. I still wanted to rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend it. Can I defend it?"

Wang Qiang is already an advanced player: "When Xichuan is lost, it is equivalent to Wei and Shu fighting Wu together. With the water situation in Jiangdong, it will definitely not be able to defend."

Su Su sighed: "The reason why famous generals are famous generals is that they can make the most correct choice when determining the survival of the nation."

Speaking of this, Su Su sighed again: "Then let's talk about Nanjing in front. Nanjing is known as the capital of the thousand-year imperial capital. From the Jianye of Sun Quan, to Jiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Before Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, in the Republic of China, it was indeed prosperous for hundreds of years. Its influence on Chinese civilization for thousands of years was second only to Xi'an. Its military terrain was excellent, surrounded by mountains on three sides and relied on water on one side, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The economic location is better, and the territory is connected to San Chu and controls grain-producing places such as Sanjiang. However, the most controversial thing about Nanjing is the Feng Shui emperor spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is said that Nanjing tigers are in the dragon plate, the blue dragon, white tiger, black trunk and vermilion bird are all in place, which is the best place for Feng Shui emperors to build capital. Why are there many disasters and difficulties? Then, various unfathomable metaphysical explanations are given. What does Brother Qiang think?"

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "What's the matter with Feng Shui? We have all said that the barrier of Xichuan is lost, the Central Plains is lost, and the north is cleared down the river and the north is easy to defeat the whole way. This is a strategic disadvantage."

Su Su smiled and said, "That is, Nanjing's capital is actually the only choice to live in Jiangnan when China is not unified. At that time, there was no Shanghai and Guangzhou. So those Feng Shui masters should not mess around. They cannot see the general trend of the world, and the global general trend is limited to one place. It is as ridiculous as discussing why Hainan Island is not hot in the Ice Age."

At this moment, Yang Guang also sighed: "Speaking of this, my father also believed in Feng Shui. He believed that before the Jinling King's spirit was exhausted, he razed Jinling to the ground as a vegetable field. It's a pity."

Wang Qiang remembered something: "Since Nanjing is the preferred place for peace, why is the capital of the Song Dynasty placed in Hangzhou?"
