Chapter 1073: The Battle of Jingxiang IV

As a traverser, after ascending to the throne of the highest power in the world, Liu Yi's expectations for the sea are far beyond all the monarchs in Chinese history, if you broaden your vision to the whole world, then the great development of modern human history is the Age of Discovery that began in Europe. Generations of adventurers opened a magnificent prelude with infinite passion for exploring the unknown world, and the Ming Dynasty, which could be called the most powerful empire at that time, although it had advanced navigation technology that was decades ahead of the world, but because of the policy of closing the country and the excessive strength of feudal forces, the germ of the development of the social system was strangled in the cradle. After that, China's advance rate lagged far behind that of Western Europe, and it also caused a history of oppression in modern times.

After all, although the feudal society from the Qin to the Han Dynasty was also highly developed, it was not as peak as the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations. You may not be able to influence the history of more than 1,000 years, but at least you can do your best to plant some seeds and lay some foundations.

What was the fundamental contradiction of feudal society? The analysis of modern Marxism-Leninism is quite accurate, and the increasing concentration of land in the hands of those big landlords and big families has made it difficult for the common people who occupy the vast majority of the population of society to own their own land. In addition, the imperial power is too centralized, although sometimes arbitrariness and arbitrariness have higher efficiency than the democratic system, but it is impossible for people not to make mistakes, and the price paid by ordinary people is most borne by themselves or their families, but if the Ninth Five-Year Emperor is at fault, it is the entire country and tens of millions of ordinary people who bear the consequences, and these examples are also common.

Knowing that these are only the prerequisites for solving the problem, even if Lang Sheng is now in power as the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to use too drastic means to change it, otherwise it will only cause social turmoil. Liu Yi's long-term method is to start from the system and the periphery and gradually extend inward, such an improvement cannot be completed in his lifetime, but he also has to change some of people's deep-rooted ideas! In this case, the Han law is a very effective means, in the form of law to limit the power of the landlord class and even the royal family, I am afraid that it is also the only feasible way, in the future, the important task in front of Liu Yi is to strengthen the status of the law in the hearts of all people.

The feudal era was based on a self-sufficient natural economy, and agricultural production was the greatest foundation, although there was no lack of thriving commerce in various dynasties, but the position of merchants was always at the bottom, which determined that they could not make a decisive voice to society! Liu Yi Xingshang is from this point of view and has achieved certain results, with the continuous development of the future, when their power is strong enough to become an independent class, they can naturally promote social change, even if it is the price of the collapse of the dynasty established by themselves, Lang Sheng does not hesitate, as long as the entire Chinese family can prosper, he will not care what will happen to the world, and almost every progress of the social system will also be accompanied by fierce social turmoil.

Industry and commerce are not separated, industry has an extremely important position in modern society, for the time being, there is no real industry in Dahan, but the development of the equipment and the gradual prosperity of the shipbuilding industry will make these handicraft workshops and larger shipyards develop, so the navigation industry has become Liu Yi must advocate the development, once the sea route is expanded, all kinds of demand will increase, and will in turn promote the development of various related industries in China.

Nowadays, the maritime affairs of the Han Dynasty are mostly used for military purposes, and they are mainly official, and this method will continue to be promoted in the future, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the power of the people, sometimes businessmen can do things that people can unimaginable for the sake of profit, and the great man said that the great power of war exists among the people, which promotes the creativity of society. Now, with the scale of Fangshan Dock, while ensuring the supply of the Flying Tiger Army, it can also have some spare power for others, of course, using the power of the people, Liu Yi also has to find a trustworthy person, and Zhao Hai has become the best choice.

Liu Yi was injured in the first battle, Zhao Hai thought of his brother who came to visit him thousands of miles away, and he was with Lang Sheng until he returned to Beijing during that time, and he also had a deep understanding of his friend Liu Yi, who could make friends on an equal footing, and there was no lack of passion for exploring the unknown in Zhao Hai. In the conversation, the world full of novelty and excitement depicted by Liu Yi also made Zhao Hai excited, he would definitely not doubt the truth of his brother's words, even if it was absurd and incredible, although he didn't know where Liu Yi's knowledge came from, but Zhao Hai's trust in Liu Yi was almost blindly obedient.

Another point is that Zhao Hai didn't expect that his brother would transfer nearly thirty percent of the Liu family's business to him, and now Zhao Kuangyin is definitely not the gentleman who robbed the people's daughters back then, his business has grown from small to large, and it has almost reached the level of the six major merchants, behind these three layers of business is tens of millions of wealth, but in Liu Yi's mouth, it is so easy! Zhao Hai was very grateful for this, but naturally insisted on not accepting it, his brother gave him too much, Lang Sheng bitterly said that he had no result for a long time, and he had to use a tough attitude, and said that this thirty percent business was not given in vain, and he couldn't get out, and there were many ideas that Zhao Hai needed to complete on his behalf, so the latter could bear it.

In the following decades, the Zhao family has become a banner of the Han navigation industry, and has also made a slight contribution to the exploration of the sea area in the Han Empire and even the entire era, and its influence is unprecedented in a wide range, and the people in the Han Empire mention the Zhao family as the name of the seven seas, and the Zhao family of the seven seas will be talked about in the history books thousands of years later!

The sea route was handed over to the Zhao family, and Liu Yi was also ready to take the Zhang family as the leader of the exchange with the Quartet on the land route, and he wanted to further expand the influence of the Silk Road, so that the Han Dynasty could expand its horizons while gaining more support and development momentum, and the Western Regions Mission had laid the foundation for this, and the safe path to the surrounding countries had also been explored, and the commercial exchanges would not only make the Han Dynasty's economy more prosperous, but also provide enough information for the later Han army's soldiers.

"The Central Plains is a Zhen, the Tao is the guard, the seven seas have Zhao, and the thousands of miles see Zhang." This is the later Han people's summary of the four major merchants, the Central Plains generation is rich in minerals, and the Zhen family, which is dominated by the foundry industry, naturally wants to take this as the foundation, and it is also the most central part of China; Seeing the Tao is what Wei said is the Wei family's achievements in transportation construction, almost where there is an official road, there is the shadow of the Wei family, the Qihai Zhao family does not need to say much, this thousands of miles to see Zhang is talking about the Beiping Zhang family who has made the foreign business prosperous, and it is the caravan that can see the Zhang family merchants who travel thousands of miles away. Liu Yi hopes to add some strength to the changes of future generations by establishing a few large businesses, and whether this goal can be achieved will be left to a hundred years later to see its after-effects, and it is difficult to describe the advantages and disadvantages at this time.

The Son of Heaven took the lead in diligent government, and a group of civil and military officials did not dare to have the slightest negligence, and the new emperor's accession to the throne was often the time of his authority, and no one wanted to appear as a negative example at this moment. The Qinzheng Hall in the palace is now Liu Yi's office, and its guards are stricter than those in the previous Yan Wangfu and the state capital, that is, the crown prince Liu Huan has to follow the procedures before he can ask to see his father, even if Lang Sheng did not mean this, but this is also the rule of the royal family for hundreds of years. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and there is one person who is allowed to enter and exit at any time, and that is Xi Zhicai.

Even if there are many important things to be done at hand, the process of the battle of reunification is still the focus of the moment, the reason why Liu Yi did not drive the expedition is because he has just ascended the throne and everything is complicated, and when he has a little clue and everything is on the way, he will still personally lead the troops south, Yangzhou Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who has been his enemy for more than ten years, will give them an ending with his own hands! Therefore, although the battle of Jingxiang is thousands of miles away, the daily military information must fly pigeons to report to Beijing, these military information will first be analyzed and summarized by Xi Zhicai and the wolf people, and then the former will personally enter the palace to face the details to the Son of Heaven, although Guo Jia is not in Beijing at this time, everything should also be managed by Xi Zhicai.

Cao Ang and others were forced to retreat by Zhao Yunqin led the army in Shouchun, and Cao Yingzhong's generals and more than 100,000 Cao troops evacuated from Yanzhou also withdrew to Xiangyang, which undoubtedly enhanced the strength of Cao's army in Jingxiang, but correspondingly, after the return of King Changshan, the Liaodong Army of the former general Gao Shun and the Beiping Army of the former general Tai Shici, the two main forces were also liberated, and Gao Lan's Swift Wind Army was to cooperate with King Jinghai to build its solid three-dimensional defense line in Xuzhou, Yuzhou.

Time into September, the autumn harvest is in full swing in all places, the main force of the repair and rest is also roughly completed, in the hands of Zhao Yun, the king of Changshan in Shouchun, can be used more than 100,000 mobile troops, it is with Jia Xu Guojia Group to cooperate with the general attack on Jingxiang, at this time they are still waiting for the Son of Heaven to launch a general attack order, and Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai are waiting for the news of Liu Yun and Sun Ce's communication, September 15 will be the deadline!
