Chapter 1213 Maritime Transport and Migration
Zhao Zhen didn't expect the Jurchens to be defeated so quickly, if it could continue, if it could still maintain this situation, the feint attack of the Great Song Dynasty would be able to gain even more, at least open up the passage from Shanhaiguan, take Liaoyang Mansion, and go straight to Liaodong.
But all this became impossible with the rout of the Jurchens, in fact, even the Liao people did not expect the Jurchens to be defeated so quickly that the Liao Dynasty regretted it just after drawing troops from Huanglongfu.
The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty retreated so quickly that they could even give up the captured Bei'an Prefecture, but the original Bei'an Prefecture was completely finished, and the Song army almost destroyed everything here before leaving.
By the way, he also took away a large number of Han people, Zhongjing Road is the closest to Yanyun, and most of the people who were originally evacuated from the land of Yanyun settled in Zhongjing Road, so these Han people finally returned to China, and after the Song army captured Bei'an City, they became the Shunmin of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is no wonder of them, but should be "thanked" for the injustice of the Liao Dynasty, the contradiction between the Han and the Khitan has long been increasingly prominent, and the rulers of the Liao Dynasty do not care about this, in the habit they have regarded the Han people as "enemies" and "aliens".
How is it possible to give them fair treatment under the guidance of this situation? The increasingly intensified contradictions and conflicts made these Han people quickly find a sense of belonging after seeing that "the king has arrived" and mobilized their relatives and friends to join them with great fanfare.
In the end, the 200,000 army led by Peng Qi brought more than 100,000 people after returning to the dynasty, which was a big blow to the Liao Dynasty.
And Xiao Tzuli had no choice but to give an order to comfort Zhang Jian and reprimand the courtiers.
What Zhao Zhen is thinking about now is another issue that is very important, even more important than the attachment of more than 100,000 Han people, how to deal with Liaodong............
He had always believed that the Liao's jurisdiction over Liaodong was a wrong way, and that it was an extremely unwise choice to govern the Jurchens with Jurchen autonomy, and that he should at least send a large army to garrison it, and if so, Shi Yuansun would not easily take Liaodong.
But Zhao Zhen forgot one thing, the Liao Dynasty was not the Great Song Dynasty, there were not enough troops, and there was not enough national funds to spend so extravagantly.
Manpower and financial resources are the most essential differences between the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty. Today's Great Song Dynasty has completely surpassed the peasants in terms of taxation, you must know that the peasants of the Great Song Dynasty are all over the place, and there are not many immigrants to Lingnan and the South China Sea, and there are countless grains transported from the south every year, otherwise how to support the needs of this huge empire?
Now it's time to immigrate again, Zhao Zhen still has to send the people of the Great Song Dynasty to Liaodong, it's not enough to just take the labor, but also someone to run it and build Liaodong, otherwise how is this different from a wasteland?
Don't forget, there are huge treasures buried in the land of Liaodong, but these treasures need to be excavated, and the Great Song Dynasty did not need to take Liaoyang Mansion, so an important transportation channel is missing.
To put it simply, Liaodong was an enclave of the Great Song Dynasty............
How to build an enclave has become a problem for Zhao Zhen, if he can't rule effectively and bring benefits from this land, the consequences are unimaginable.
Even Zhao Zhen could imagine the reaction of the Great Song courtiers with his heels, and they would think that this was a wrong and flashy decision.
But fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty took control of the Wa Kingdom, and this island country gave Zhao Zhen a huge springboard, and the East China Sea between Liaodong and the Wa Kingdom became the inland sea of the Great Song Dynasty............
So the plan to reopen the Heishui Protectorate was put on Zhao Zhen's desk, now the environment of the Great Song Dynasty is stable, the foreign war is also a victory, the Liao people are weak is an indisputable fact, for the plan to emigrate to the land of white mountains and black waters, the courtiers gradually changed their attitude, and they also had to change their attitude, otherwise the money spent and the sacrificed soldiers will be wasted.
The East China Sea Jurchens led by the Wanyan Department are finished, and the dependence between these Jurchens and the Liao Dynasty is not so clear, so it is not very heartbreaking after the loss, but the Liao people know that they pay more attention to making up for the dead.
Liaoyang Mansion is the Tokyo of the Liao Dynasty, and it is also an important component of the direct control of the Mature Jurchen, and the Changbai Mountain Department is the largest branch of the Mature Jurchen, and it is also the one firmly controlled by the Liao Dynasty by various means.
For this reason, the Liao people did not hesitate to marry the royal women of the clan, in order to control the mature women, so that they rarely had estrangement, but instead relied on the Liao Dynasty. This was undoubtedly successful, at least more so than the means of dominating the fertility of the Virgins.
Only when the Liao Dynasty was powerful and in the middle of the day, could it effectively rule the Jurchens, but once the Liao Dynasty was weak and suppressed by the Song people, it was not so easy to govern the Jurchens, especially when the Liao Dynasty began to squeeze them, and the trade with the Song people was the best proof.
Of course, there are many people in the Liao Dynasty who think that the Great Song Dynasty has removed a hidden danger for the Liao Dynasty, and the combat power of the Shengnuzhen is amazing, and the Khitans have suffered a lot of losses when they crusade against them, and now the Song people have defeated the Shengjurchen, and Liaodong is an enclave for the Song people.
Although this land is of little use to Da Liao............
Now, the Liao people still feel that the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Jurchens in order to seize a piece of the military road to attack the Liao Dynasty from the south.
Zhao Zhen took the route of encirclement, the great leader once surrounded the city with the countryside and created a new China, and Zhao Zhen planned to follow the gourd and draw a scoop, encircle the alien races with the Han land, and eventually eliminate or annex them.
The integration of nations is not bad, at least there will be fifty-six in later generations! However, Zhao Zhen believed that it was the Han people who had to occupy the absolute number and domination in order for this integration to succeed in the end.
Because most of the Han people are suitable for tolerance from ideology to doctrine, although they are high with feudal interest, it does not affect the integration between ethnic groups, which is not possessed by the Liao people.
If you want the people of the Han family to reproduce in Liaodong, the most important thing is to form a connection with the Central Plains, even if the road is not smooth, there must be a way to get in touch, and the Heishui Governor's Mansion at the end of the Tang Dynasty is similar to the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that the Great Song Dynasty has a transportation capacity that surpasses that of the Tang Dynasty, including shipping!
Don't underestimate the shipping sector, this is a big step for a feudal dynasty to the world, the shipping capacity of the Great Song Dynasty has exceeded this era, because of the need, so development, because of the interest driven, so more and more powerful.
The technology of the Great Song Dynasty has already reached an unprecedented height, which is the valuable experience gained through decades of trade overseas, not only the physical navigation such as the compass and the magnetic compass, but also the astronomical navigation led by the astrological art, and after years of summary, the Great Song Dynasty has a navigation chart, mastered the knowledge of ocean tides, geographic navigation, monsoon navigation and so on and a variety of navigation techniques.
The Chinese people's hard-working habits and good at summarizing and inheriting have become the priceless treasure of the Great Song Dynasty shipping.
