Chapter 4 Strategy (Medium)
The Liao land that Ji Kang said just now is a caged bird, and he also felt it.
In Ji Kang's previous life, since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has built the Great Wall in the north as the boundary.
Caught in the lack of concept, geography, and understanding, I always think that the place outside the border is a barren land.
In the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, that is, the Qin, Han, Wei, Sui, Tang and other dynasties, they still attached importance to Liaodi. For this reason, troops were sent outside the customs many times. The Sui Dynasty also suffered a great loss of national strength and even the destruction of the country because of the three conquests of Goryeo.
But for Liaodi, it is not carefully cultivated and developed like the current Yan Kingdom. I didn't realize that this place was a treasure and its significance to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Since the Song Dynasty, it has been even worse, because the sixteen states of Yanyun have been taken away by the northern nomads.
The Dangxiang clan in the west also established the Western Xia.
Since the Qin, Han, Tang and other dynasties, the Central Plains Kingdom has worked hard to open up the Silk Road, and even the Western Regions and the Northern Regions have all fallen.
Since then, the Central Plains portal has been opened.
Especially in the era of cold weapons at that time, due to the fall of the north and west, the Song Dynasty lacked extremely powerful strategic materials - war horses, and the mobility and combat power of the army were greatly reduced.
Since then, the kingdom established by the northern nomads has been condescending and constantly invading the Song Dynasty.
And the rulers and interests of the Song Dynasty, relying on half of the Analects, began to govern China, which was simply pedantic to the extreme. The emperor and even the scholars and doctors of the court despised the soldiers who fought bloodily and defended the country to the extreme.
Under these circumstances, the Song Dynasty had no ambition to recover, and the territory of the northern and western regions that had fallen was constantly shrinking under the blows of the Liao, Jin, and Mongolian kingdoms established by the northern nomads.
In the end, the Song Dynasty actually ran to the south, divided the river and ruled, biased to the south of the Yangtze River, until it died.
Of course, in the eyes of Ji Kang's "brick scholars" in his previous life, this is the inevitable way of national integration.
After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was established.
Guanwai and Liaodi, since then, have returned to the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, the Ming Dynasty adopted the policy of "governing the country with raze" in the northeast, and finally cultivated the "freak" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the "Battle of Sarhu", the Ming army was defeated, and since then it has given up its rule over the northeast.
The Ming Dynasty built a fortified city in Jinzhou, which is now Tuhe County, a county in western Liaoning, under the jurisdiction of Ji Kang, and resisted the Manchu Qing Dynasty for decades. Later, because the Jinzhou guard Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and changed the dynasty.
During the Republic of China, the Northeast fell. The Japanese invaders descended from the northeast, and the entire Chinese nation reached the most critical moment of national extinction, resulting in the "War of Resistance against the Japanese Invaders" in China for 14 years, with huge losses.
In the dynasty of Ji Kang's previous life, the army of Taizu and the army of the previous dynasty fought a general battle outside the pass, which was known as the "Battle of Liaoshen" in history.
As a result, Taizu's army took the lead in occupying Tuhe County (Jinzhou) in Liaoxi County, blocking hundreds of thousands of troops from the previous dynasty in the northeast and achieving a decisive victory.
Since then, Taizu's million-strong army has swept south from the northeast, swept through the Central Plains, and fought until the southernmost Hainan Treasure Island, completing the unification of the Central Plains.
It can be seen that the Northeast is the Central Plains of the Central Plains Dynasty, especially the Liaoxi County.
It can be said that if the Northeast exists, then China will survive; If the Northeast dies, then China dies.
Thinking of the various situations that happened in history in his previous life, and then looking at the huge map of Liaodi hanging on the wall in front of him, Ji Kang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Ignoring the four gentlemen who were seated, he said to one of the attendants waiting next to him, "Bring me pen and ink." ”
"No." The squire hurriedly agreed.
After the attendant brought the pen and ink, he was under the gaze of the four gentlemen.
Ji Kang used a beautiful line of calligraphy, using the "Yayu" font commonly used in the Zhou Dynasty and currently used in Liaodi, and wrote on the side of this well-made map of Liaodi: "If Liaodi exists, then Huaxia exists; If Liaodi dies, then Huaxia dies. ”
After writing these fourteen words, Ji Kang solemnly signed his name on the back: Ji Kang. A line of small characters was added to the back, and in the thirteenth year of King Wucheng, the two counties of southern Liaoning and Hancheng were set up.
The four old gentlemen, Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Su Dai, all lowered their heads and pondered after seeing the two lines inscribed by Ji Kang.
After a while, they all understood, stood up together, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Childe, we have been taught." This map, with the inscription of this passage written by the son, has become a national treasure and should be passed on forever. ”
After listening to the words of the four gentlemen, Ji Kang turned around and bowed deeply.
In the side hall, Ji Kang continued to expound his strategy for the future of Liaodi.
"The navy must not only find out the situation of the surrounding counties near the sea, but also, along the estuary of the Heihe River and the Songhua River in Xingdong County, and explore the water passages of Heihe County, Liaobei County, and Xing'an County in the interior of our Liaodi."
"In this way, all the nine counties of my Liao region, in addition to the land route, have re-established a connecting channel through the great rivers, the great rivers and the sea."
Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Su Dai looked at each other and nodded.
In Ji Kang's previous life, the three northeastern provinces, except for Liao Province, which had sea routes, Hei Province and Ji Province were all land provinces, and their economic development was slow.
Why? Because the estuaries of several major rivers are occupied by foreigners, and there is no sea passage, you will definitely not develop as fast as the coastal provinces and cities.
But at this time, these places at the mouth of the sea have all returned to the territory of the Central Plains Kingdom, under the jurisdiction of Ji Kang. In this way, a complete cycle of sea passages can be established, and Ji Kang feels very relieved in his heart.
Ji Kang's hand pointed to the Wa archipelago in the east, at this time the Wa Island has not yet been truly unified, in the "Book of Han" "...... The Japanese are divided into more than 100 countries. It is a true portrayal of Wajima at this time.
Ji Kang's voice resounded in the ears of the four gentlemen including Ju Xin: "Wadao is currently divided into more than 100 countries, and I don't have time or too much energy to pay attention to Wadao now, so let's talk about it later!" ”
Then, the young prince's hand pointed to the sea in the northern part of Qi and the southern part of Liaodong County, and to a sea area on Shira Island (Jeju Island) in Seoul-gun.
To Ju Xin and the other four, he said slowly: "The reason why the navy is important and we must vigorously develop it is not only to complete the sea passage of our Liaodi counties, but also to focus on the future and even the future. ”
Speaking of this, the young prince turned around and said cautiously to several important ministers: "Four gentlemen, my Huaxia clan will not only be a land power in the future, but also a sea power in the future. ”
"The kid thinks that after I unify the world in China, I will inevitably develop to the ocean. Everyone has also seen the globe made by the Westerner. This world is very big, and I only occupy a very small part of it. ”
"I, the Chinese clan, can't blind my eyes and not see the dense forest in the distance. The future of our Chinese people lies in the land, and the future lies in this vast ocean. Whoever controls the ocean controls the entire Kyushu of the world. ”
"This is a question of fundamental direction and strategy for my Chinese family. Four gentlemen, even in our generation, did not do that. But we have to tell our descendants, tell our children and grandchildren, that they will do this. ”
"We want to tell our descendants that the outside world is big and exciting. Tell them not to rest on their laurels and settle for the status quo. There is no more land, and we go outside to seize it; There are no resources left, and we have to look outside. ”
"The four gentlemen have all told the boy, my Huaxia clan, I am ordered by heaven and favored by heaven. Therefore, my Huaxia family cannot live up to God's love and trust for my Huaxia family. ”
"We, the Chinese family, can not relax at any time, can not stop our pace of progress! This is something that our Liaodi and Huaxia clans, and even our children and grandchildren will always remember. ”
After listening to Ji Kang's words, the four gentlemen of the drama Xin were flushed, and their moods were as excited as Ji Kang.
Jun Xiangjuxin stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said, "Follow the words of the prince." This is the teaching of my descendants in Liaodi and even in China, and they will not forget it in the future. ”
Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Su Dai also stood up and collectively bowed to Ji Kang.
Ji Kang bent down and saluted back.
Then, Ji Kang pointed to the map and said: "Our navy has occupied Shiro Island, by the way, this island will be renamed Ji Island in the future!" In the navy's planning, Jidao is to be used as a base for our navy to go south to the Central Plains, and it is necessary to speed up construction. ”
"You can set up this island as a separate county, let's call it Ji County! From now on, it will be under the jurisdiction of Seoul-gun, and a monument will be engraved on it. ”
Everyone nodded, and they all recognized Ji Kang's name for Ji Island.
Ji Kang's hand then swiped and pointed to the southern end of Lushun in Liaodong County, a sea area in the north of Qi State, and said to the four people:
"Our navy has found out that this Salmon Island, which is surrounded by island barriers, is a natural harbor. Although the state of Qi has included it in its jurisdiction so far, it has not carried out actual and effective management. ”
Ji Kang turned around and looked at the four of them, focusing on Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian.
He clicked on the map and the sea area around Shamen Island, and said slowly: "In the next step, I will send people to infiltrate this Shamen Island and several nearby inhabited islands, and carry out effective and practical management without alarming the Qi State."
The kid thought that if there was a conflict between my Liao or Yan and Qi in the future, or they would occupy Qi. Here, it will be my Liao Land and even the Yan Kingdom, where we can gather troops, and it is the best place to strike at the Qi Kingdom. ”
After listening to Ji Kang's words, Jun Xiangju Xin sat still and was expressionless; And Mr. Su Dai, who had a deep hatred for Qi Guo, touched his beard under his chin, smiled, and nodded lightly.
And Mr. Zou Yan and Mr. Lu Zhonglian, who came from Qi State, stood up at once.
Then, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian, the two old gentlemen, looked at each other, shook their heads, and sat down again.
