What was Liu Bang's attitude towards the six Kanto countries in the early Han Dynasty? Why did he move more than 65,438+people to Guanzhong?

In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's attitude towards the six countries of Kanto was to control, strictly control and weaken. The reason why more than 65,438+10,000 people moved to Guanzhong was because it could weaken their clan power and eliminate their threat to the Western Han Dynasty.

The so-called "six countries in Kanto" refers to six of the seven vassal States except Qin at the end of the Warring States period. These six vassal States were all destroyed by the state of Qin. Qin destroyed the six countries, and before it began to suppress and punish the nobles of the six countries, it perished. So the nobles of the six countries still have strong strength and great appeal in the local area. In the anti-Qin war, the war would not have ended so quickly without the full support and extensive launch of the nobles of the six countries. The existence of such a powerful force in Kanto is a great threat to Liu Bang's regime, so Liu Bang made up his mind to suppress the nobles of the six countries.

The best way to restrain it is immigration. No matter how powerful a nobleman is, he has no appeal in a new place, let alone the so-called clan power. As for why we moved to Guanzhong, there are three reasons:

First, Guanzhong is the capital of Liu Bang, and moving the capital here is conducive to Liu Bang's management and control of the aristocratic strongmen of the six Kanto countries. Close at hand and far away, it must be easy to manage under your nose.

Secondly, after the rebellion at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Guanzhong area was economically ruined and sparsely populated, but the land was fertile, and immigrants could enrich the local population and develop fertile fields.

Third, Guanzhong is far away from the Xiongnu in the north, only a few hundred miles away. If the Huns invade, they can ride into Guanzhong area day by day. Noble immigrants from the six countries enriched Guanzhong and defended Xiongnu. On the other hand, weaken the clan power of nobles and heroes in the six countries. If the Kanto governors rebel, these immigrant nobles can also lead these people to crusade.
