Chapter 45: Assumptions

Looking at the simple sand table map in front of him, Liu Jixing put the small red flag in his hand and planted it in one place after another. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The place where the info is inserted is the fastest good news that he has just received from the secret party, and it is the area newly occupied and mastered by his special forces.

Now, in every place there, the army and civilian officials of the Han Kingdom have worked together to not only actively establish a solid base area, but also win the full support and strong support of the local people.

Liu Jixing knew that the ruling experience of later generations that he had learned from would definitely be effective in this era. Although he needs to plan more carefully, the absolute influence of the imperial power in this era, as long as everything is under his control, he is not afraid that all this will deviate from his own vision.

Although in this era, as the influence of commanders in each army increases, there will always be people with different intentions, Liu Jixing is sure that the brainwashing course of commanders at all levels under his control is basically successful. And I am confident that no matter what is abnormal and thoughtful in the senior commander of that army, someone will supervise him, and he is not afraid of getting out of control afterwards.

Liu Jixing is very relieved and very happy, not that the territory of his Han Kingdom is constantly expanding. Although there has not been a major change in the overall pattern of the country's land area now, these people trained by his subordinates are full of vitality and want to make contributions to themselves. It is clear that they have already played an active role in their respective positions. If everything goes well as this development, Liu Jixing is fully confident that he will carry out his grand plan.

Historically, there have been five generations of several small imperial courts for decades, and the Hunan forces of Chu land were spent under the struggle of several warlord forces after the death of Ma Yin, the lord of Chu, until it was conquered and annexed by the Song State. Therefore, the population of Chu in the late Five Dynasties was only a little more than that of the Northern Han Kingdom, which was next to the Zhou State. It was the small land of Jingnan next to it, which was actually five or six times smaller than it, but later the population was more than twice as large.

Later, in the hands of Zhou Xingfeng's son Zhou Baoquan, Zhou Guo could recover Chu like autumn wind sweeping leaves, just because there was no one in Chu at all. Therefore, after more than ten years of war, the originally prosperous Chu Land can really be said to be a big place with ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

Chu has always been rich in land and abundant products, and Liu Jixing, who was born in Chu in his previous life, naturally knew that this was a treasure land, and it was also the land of fish and rice in later generations. If the rulers can manage it well, it will be another prosperous and prosperous in less than ten years.

Liu Jixing naturally coveted this piece of fat, not to mention that he was as close to Chu as Nantang. The Southern Tang Dynasty could occupy the entire Chu land for a long time that day, obviously it had a geographical advantage, and also because the Southern Tang Dynasty had a group of soldiers who were good at fighting and a group of excellent generals. Of course, the most important thing is that the people in Chu are disheartened, and they don't resist much at all.

Back then, the Great Han Kingdom and the Tang State fought each other for the sake of Chu, and today's Chenzhou was in the hands of Liu Sheng, and a few generals who were good at fighting were snatched from the mouth of the Tang State. So now Liu Jixing feels that he must find a way to swallow this piece of fat, and he must establish his own solid base in Chu as the center of his advance. Of course, it was also to prevent the Southern Tang Dynasty from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, and to take advantage of the situation with Zhou Guo.

Fujian has been torn apart by the defeat of the ruler Wang and the invasion of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Not only did the Wang family no longer exist, but Wu Yueguo, who had always been mild-mannered, took a share of the pie in Fujian. As a close byside himself, Liu Jixing understood Liu Sheng's thoughts that day, although he had always used it as a buffer against the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yueguo, he also wanted to eat it, but the time had not yet come.

On that day, the remote Lingnan Han Kingdom did not have the troops of the Tang State, and Liu Yan and Liu Sheng, father and son, did not dare to trust the generals, so they could only keep in Lingnan. But now he has a good and accurate agreement with Chen Hongjin, a famous conspirator in later generations. Although he can't easily break the contract for the time being, of course, Liu Jixing has not considered further development. But he can also unite with the Qingyuan Army, which can not only prevent the Southern Tang Dynasty from taking over the government and cutting into the coast, but also prevent Wu Yueguo from developing southward, and the most important thing is that the Qingyuan Army has been compressed to the worst in history, and it will not die and cannot develop in the best state for itself.

And now not only can the territory of the Qingyuan Army, as a buffer zone between Wu Yueguo and Tang Guo, let himself have more time to develop, and he can not worry about the problem of the northeast, but he can also vigorously support Chen Hongjin's personal charm, so that he can have more say in the future of the Qingyuan Army, which is conducive to his own goals.

Although Chen Hongjin did not clearly express his support for himself, Liu Jixing was absolutely sure, with the help of Shiwu and Yang Jiong, he had the support of the Daozun lineage, as long as he developed and made progress smoothly, there was no difference between Fujian and his own back garden.

Now the development and operation of the sea is undoubtedly smooth, and with the strong help and support of Daozun, his own naval special forces under the leadership of Shao Tingcheng have completely taken the Penghu Islands of Taiwan in later generations as a stronghold, and the Penghu Islands are as solid as an iron barrel, and can be transferred to fight between Wu Yueguo, Tang State and Zhou State at any time, and provide supplies and support to their heart's content. Of course, the biggest secret is that Liu Jixing is building the largest port base in Penghu.

Now, just waiting for those literati to give full play to their talents on Ryukyu Island (Taiwan) and build the wild man-filled Liuqiu Island into their own backyard and base. Let yourself not only enjoy the four seas, but the most important thing is that you can become a big killer weapon to deter Zhou and Wu Yue, and even the successor of Zhou and Song.

And the development of Qiongzhou Road can be strengthened to the fullest, because Jiaozhou is not only the pain of the Liu family in Lingnan, but also the thorn in Liu Jixing's own heart. The Central Plains region of the Five Dynasties was divided into two major separatist forces and countries, one is Dali, and the other is Jiaozhou, Annan. Although today's Jiaozhou still recognizes the Great Han State, the Wu regime cannot last long.

Later, the Dali Kingdom did not deviate from the Chinese national unity, but Jiaozhou is very different. In later generations, not only did they separate themselves from the regime, but some of the countries established in later generations have always regarded the Central Plains as their opponents. Therefore, Liu Jixing wanted to choke Qionghai and continue to harvest Jiaozhou back into his name.

Liu Jixing had the number of giant ships doubled, not only controlling the coastal sea lanes in the south and the sea, but also getting closer to the coast of Jiaozhou. Nowadays, the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is constantly increasing every day because they play the role of pirates, constantly harassing and attacking various forces and subduing pirates.

Moreover, the success of the development of gunpowder and the flexible use of weapons have also made their chances of victory on the sea greater and more abundant. Liu Jixing naturally knows that by making good use of the resources and geographical advantages of the sea surface of Qiongzhou Road, he can not only completely deter the entire South China Sea region, but also actively control the situation in Jiaozhou, Annan.

On the surface, Jiaozhou now belongs to the Great Han State, but in fact it is no different from autonomy. Liu Jixing's continuous training in mountain warfare and the navy is to deal with the thorn in Jiaozhou's side. Of course, it is also to prepare for the future to get closer to the Central Plains.

At least, this problem, which was not solved in the hands of Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan now, and the problem that Liu Sheng left to be left to his shoulders, will be solved with one blow when the time comes. Of course, for Liu Jixing, the more significant significance is that in the future, all the merchant ships in the South China Sea will be under his control.

Of course, the development of the forces and sea vessels in Qiongzhou Road is obviously much smoother than that of Liuqiu Island. Although the two places are now dominated by uncivilized aborigines, after all, during the Tang Dynasty, there were many exiled officials developing the Qiongzhou Road, and the local residents were already somewhat unavoidable and did not dare to resist. Therefore, it didn't take long for the army of the Great Han Kingdom to take full control of this area, and now he just needs to go with the flow.

In particular, to constantly strengthen their prestige in the territory of Qiongzhou Road, all the thoughts and actions of the garrison must be within their control. The basic policy adopted by Liu Jixing is to be close to the people, unity, and development, and all actions must not be based on repression unless there are special circumstances.

Because Liu Jixing deeply knows that the development and integration of this place are indispensable. At present, the development of every group army in the Great Han Kingdom is inseparable from talents, and Liu Jixing certainly does not want to cultivate another group of warlords who are separatist, so it is necessary to control the loyalty of the army and officers, and ideological education is the first step. And the navy is the focus of the Great Han State now, because the development and advance within the territory must be supplemented by the navy, and even in the future, against Wu Yue and Zhou or the successor Song State, the sea attack will be their nightmare.

Liu Jixing has always believed that everyone is a talent, and after understanding his strengths, as long as he is given a suitable platform and a right opportunity, everyone will give full play to their personal abilities. People say that in troubled times, there will be heroes, in troubled times, there will be geniuses, and in troubled times, there will be famous characters in history, because they have the opportunity! But in this world, there are a few people who can clearly see and know the particularity of their time.

Liu Jixing's advantage is that he knows history and knows the general trend of history than these people, so he can give more people more opportunities.

Success and defeat have been known since ancient times! Even if he is the role of a loser, it is undeniable that he is also a vigorous and famous history. And if it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, this person's behavior may be just a small ruffian. And in this era, an insignificant little person may be the key figure who changes history.

Liu Jixing knows that he is creating a group of heroes, a group of characters who will definitely affect the history of future generations. Liu Jixing couldn't help but be even more excited, but also looked forward to and excited.

Today, from the South China Sea to the East China Sea, the entire coastline is basically under its own control. Now Shao Tingcheng has established a huge prestige in the navy, and his fleet is now not only rampant on the coastline of Wu Yue and Tang Kingdom, but also close to the scope of Zhou State. With his own strong support, Liu Jixing knew that as long as his fleet could open through the coastal defense line of the Zhou State, he could really rest assured that he would develop an offensive inland.

Because of any action he launched, if the Zhou State or the successor Song State wanted to go south to threaten him, he could attack their territory from the sea recklessly. Even he can take the initiative to attack them now.

This is not a hypothesis, but a fact! In this era of underdeveloped information and lagging communications, its own intelligence system has been ahead of the surrounding forces and hundreds of years ahead of this era. What's more, the combat effectiveness of his naval corps, in addition to the weapons cannot be compared with later generations, various skills are already the same as later generations, and because of the particularity of this era, the fighting may be more powerful than later generations.

Of course, there is also the successful use of gunpowder, and with the strong support of Guan Miao, he has made all kinds of mines more useful. It also makes its musket team more powerful, and the most obvious is naturally the use of artillery on the building ship, which is simply a nightmare for the opponent.

When he thought of this, Liu Jixing couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic. Of course, a war is not a simple occupation, Liu Jixing naturally understands this truth, so Liu Jixing did not act. Just like the land of the Southern Tang and Zhou States close to the coastline, they can attack them at any time, and this sudden attack may deal a fatal blow to them. But will you be able to keep up with your own subsequent supplies and reassurance? This is what Liu Jixing is thinking about the most at present.

At this time, the most powerful of the major vassal states is naturally the Zhou State, which has always regarded itself as orthodox, it has always been deeply threatened by the Liao State and the Northern Puppet Han, as long as it controls most of the Chu land before it, all its plans will change. As for Nan Tang and Wu Yueguo, it is even less worth mentioning and worrying, Zhou Guo can become their nightmare, and he will be the master of their destiny!

Liu Jixing also doubted himself that day, and he also doubted what the real history was like, but now things are developing in the direction he envisioned. Liu Jixing knows that now he has to change some of the day's strategies. You can also develop a strategy that you dare not implement that day, because hope is ahead!

Under the leadership of Guo Jing, a lucky general, the direction of advancing into the Central Plains was smooth, and the army of the Lingnan Han Kingdom of impostor bandits was encroaching on Chu and getting involved in Shu day by day. The establishment of the award state base is the best proof of this, Liu Jixing knows that he has to deal with Zhou Xingfeng, who has always been known for his scheming, and now it is just a matter of needing an opportunity.

Propaganda and instigation are Liu Jixing's successful strategies, and they also come from the successful experience and skills of later generations of great people. Of course, the increase in the cadets who are constantly being trained by themselves from the military academies they founded has also increased their confidence.

At present, it can be said that the cadets of these military academies are all from the best of the best, and most of them come from officers and men who have returned from the war to make meritorious contributions, and there are also officers and men who have been continuously promoted and tested. Now, under their own personal intervention and accurate training, these cadets are just like the martial arts halls of the major military academies in the early years of the Republic of China, and they are also rapidly transforming into independent talents.

In order to support Guo Jing's development and process, Liu Jixing is sending a large number of trained commanders to learn from him, and he has also sent a large number of commanders at various grassroots levels.

Of course, Liu Jixing pursues a comprehensive action and plan, and this Guo Jing is of course only a part of his plan. However, because of the appearance and opportunity of Guo Jing's character, a group of outstanding military talents have emerged from all walks of life. Liu Jixing knows that his power will soon develop in an all-round way, and the people of the world will gradually understand himself.

Now, in the Lingnan Han Dynasty, Pan Chongche is definitely an unruly talent, although he was suppressed in the hands of Liu Sheng, but with the kindness of his superiors to him, he is obviously moving closer to himself now. Although I believe in his ability and loyalty, all this information undoubtedly comes from only a few sources. One is his own investigation and understanding of him in this life, and of course, there is also the faint description and evaluation of him by later history.

Liu Jixing will not completely believe the nonsense of history, but the description of him by Song Shi at least lets him know his approximation. What's more, this big man of the Southern Han Dynasty did not return to the Song Kingdom until the end because of Liu Gang's unreasonableness, which shows that he is still relatively loyal to the Liu family.

However, Liu Jixing will never relax his grasp of his various scales, after all, he also surrendered to Zhao Kuangyin in later generations. If he is allowed to develop to his heart's content, if there is no control of the moderation, then no one knows what kind of accident will happen. The separatist forces of this era are local warlords, who have a lot of power, so they cede their own land or survive and take risks. Now it's just for him to quickly train a group of generals who can be used immediately, which is where his current value lies.

In addition, it is naturally a tune, Liu Jixing believes in him so much, but he also implements his own rules. Liu Jixing is not a suspicious person, but there are no absolute things in this world. Quju's grandfather was the king of Jiaozhou who dominated one side back then, although he was later subdued by Liu Yan, but the children of the Qu family were inevitably mixed.

To appoint people, you must trust, this is Liu Jixing's principle, Liu Jixing does not believe in any rules, but it is good to be more prepared. Therefore, Liu Jixing cultivated Qu Quji, and he is the real follower of Qu Sentence.

Liu Jixing has actually always admired Liu Yan, after all, there was no division of feudal towns in the Song Dynasty hundreds of years later, and most of the credit came from Liu Yan's strategy. Liu Jixing then asked more than a dozen young generals who were loyal to him and served the imperial court to follow the song to learn and progress. And the song is also showing that he is working hard and enterprising on the front line for the blueprint he drew for him.

Someone also told Liu Jixing that Wu Yanrou is now in charge of the navy and the family. Liu Jixing naturally understands that this may be something that some people can't watch. Everyone is very much in favor of Shao Tingcheng's division of power, and they can't wait for someone to share the responsibility. There are also worries about Wu Sihu and Wu Zhonghan from the Wu family, they are both in high positions now, and they both have heavy troops on one side.

But Liu Jixing was not particularly worried, because although the army now has the highest commander, it looks no different from the previous pattern. However, there is a clear division of labor among officers at all levels, and there is a role in mutual restraint. Under their own teachings, they have learned to think, and they will not blindly listen to prejudice and blind actions; Second, the military leaders in the various base areas do not have the final say, and although the commanders have the final decision, they are based on correct action. And at present, the basic strategy is to decide by yourself, and all kinds of actions are basically done after reporting yourself.

Liu Jixing never intervened in the actions of the commanders of all sides, and decided to consult with the staff officers of the army at their own discretion. Liu Jixing's strategy is undoubtedly similar to that of the later armies, and has greatly improved the combat capability and flexibility of the army.

And as Wu Yanrou's current identity, Liu Jixing does not doubt his pursuit at all, because he gave him more than just a shock, it can be said that he is completely a generation of senior generals trained by himself.

Of course, Wu Yanrou is still Yang Jiong's apprentice, and Liu Jixing's trust in Yang Jiong is also the main reason. He was full of hope for the future of the Great Han Kingdom, and he himself saw hope in Liu Jixing. In less than two years, an ignorant young prince has transformed into a far-sighted king. Wu Yanrou is full of hope for her future. Because the cake that Liu Jixing painted for him was too big, Wu Yanrou never dared to imagine the pie.

Silently chattering in his heart, Liu Jixing looked at the sand table in his eyes, and felt passionate in his heart.
