Jiangxi Province referred to as "Gan" for short, because the Ganjiang River flowing from south to north, was known as Ganshui in the ancient times.There are two sources of the Ganjiang River. Xiyuan is Zhangshui, which originated from the junction of Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong. Dongyuan is Gongshui and originated from the Wuyi Shanxi side of Jiangxi and Fujian.Zhang Shui from west to east, Gongshui from east to west, converging in the current Ganzhou urban area, and then mighty north.What is the name of this river?The ancients were lazy enough. Zhang Jiagong was called Ganjiang.
The Ganjiang River basically runs through the whole border of Jiangxi Province.Fujian, in the northeast, connects Zhejiang, connects Guangdong with Daling Ridge and Jiulian Mountain in the south.In the ancient unification dynasties, even if the country was set in Changan or Luoyang, the court still attached importance to its operations on the south.From Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas have always been economic and cultural towns.If we put the historical perspective in this area, the strategic position of the Ganjiang River is more prominent, and Jiangnan is stable and unstable. First ask the Ganjiang River to be stable and unstable.
In the southeast, there was a threat in the southeast, located in Fujian and southern Fujian Vietnam (also known as East Vietnam).
King Fujian is the descendant of King Yue Yue Goujian in the Spring and Autumn Period.During the hegemony of Chu and Han, the hegemony Xiang Yu did not seal the king of Fujian and Vietnam.After Liu Bang became the emperor, of course, he had to report to the peach, and he had no one to be the king of Fujian and Vietnam.
Fujian is known as the indisputable place, because its terrain is too dangerous, only a few valleys such as Minjiang can be used.This terrain in Fujian is easy to defend.Foreign enemies attacked Fujian from Jiangxi. The difficulty was very difficult, and it was difficult to fight in the Fujian Vietnam.
The rule of the Han Dynasty was in the Central Plains, but still attached importance to the south bank of the Yangtze River.At that time, there were three major counties in the southeast of the Han Dynasty. Danyang County centered on Nanjing, Hueiji County centered on Suzhou, Yuzhang County centered on Nanchang.From the perspective of the Ganjiang River, Nanchang is to keep the portal towns in Nanjing and Suzhou.The biggest difficulty of the Han army to keep Nanchang is just in the Ganjiang River.
If Fujian Yue people turn over the Wuyi Mountain into the Ganjiang River, along the north of the Ganjiang River, after passing through the narrow valley of Ganzhou, in the thousands ofNorth of Anxian is a relatively vast plain area, which is conducive to the use of Fujian and Yue people.Once the people of Fujian were killed to Nanchang, and even the Jiujiang River on the banks of the Yangtze River, the two major towns in the southeast of the Han Dynasty (near Nanjing) and Hueiji County (governing Suzhou) would be seriously threatened.If the people in Min and Vietnam are west, the direction of Jingxiang will also be seriously threatened.If the people in Fujian occupy the entire Yangtze River Basin, they will become the second Chu country, forming a north -south opposition with the Han Dynasty.This is impossible for Emperor Hanwu, who is expanding.
The terrain of Fujian and South Jiangnan is very complicated. If the Han army enters Fujian eastward from the south of Jiangxi, it must go down the south of the Ganjiang River.However, the problem is that the Ganjiang River is in the Wanan County to Ganzhou section. There are too many beaches. There are strange stones everywhere.This section of water is called Ganshi, also known as the eighteen beaches of the Ganjiang River.
The Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran has a "Lower Gan Stone", "Gan Stone Three Hundred Miles, along the Qianqian room.Live, the potential is also gurgling. The foam fish dragon boils, the vine ape climbing.At the end of the Southern Dynasties, the general Chen Ba first went north to the north of Hou Jings chaos, and was blocked in the eighteen beaches of the Ganjiang River. It was said that "there are twenty -four beaches on the old Ganshi (not contradiction with the eighteen beaches), and the beach is many boulders.Chen Ba Xians hair, a few feet of water storms, and three hundred miles, there are no boulder. "
This difficulty is also a difficult problem in front of Emperor Hanwu.Chen Bas first went north along the Ganjiang River. Without the need of Emperor Hanwu, he had to raise a large number of shipping vessels from the south of the Ganjiang River.The Han armys grain vessels were blocked on the eighteen beaches of the Ganjiang River. Time was actually on the side of Fujian and Vietnam.At that time, the strength of the Min and Vietnam nations at that time could not be compared with the Han Dynasty. East Vietnam was quickly destroyed by Emperor Hanwu.However, Emperor Hanwu still had a lot of heart, and said: "East Vietnam (relying on the land) dangerous obstruction (rebellion), for future generations." Then the East Vietnamese people moved between Jianghuai and Huai.district.At this time, it was 110 BC, and in more than 300 years after this, Fujians development was very slow. It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Fujian under the rule of Sun Quan slowly had a vitality.
In the Southern Dynasties, the two most important states at that time, Yangzhou based on Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Jingzhou based on Hubei and Hunan.EssenceOnly the emperors brothers and sons are qualified to be the history of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and the cousins cannot. It can be seen that Erzhou has a pivotal position in the Southern Dynasties.Jiangzhou, which is sandwiched between Erzhou, exists as a buffer. Jiangzhou is the current Jiangxi and Fujian, and the focus is in Jiangxi.From this perspective, stabilizing the Ganjiang River can stabilize Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and the stable trend of the entire Southern Dynasties can hold it.
The situation of the Ming Dynasty is similar to that of the Southern Dynasties.center.In the sixth year of Zhengde (1511 AD), Emperor Zhengde set up a governor of Nannan and was appointed by Wang Yangming.After Wang Yangmings chaos, the policy of stabilizing Jiangxi was also surrounded by the Ganjiang River.Taking Ganjiang as the central axis, the Ming army can reach their destinations relatively conveniently.To stabilize the Ganjiang River, you can stabilize the basic market of Jiangnan. The fiscal heads of the Ming Dynasty were supplied by Jiangnan.
Although the Qing Dynasty entered the customs from the northeast, it was designated in Beijing, but the fiscal head still came from Jiangnan.Among the Governor of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Zhili had the highest status, and then Governor of Liangjiang.This two rivers refer to Jiangnan Province (Anhui, Jiangsu) and Jiangxi Province.The basic logic of the stable south of the Qing Dynasty is similar to that of all ages: Ganjiang Registered Jiangxi Ding, Jiangxi Dingzhi Jiangnan Ding, Jiangnan Ding is the world.
