Chapter 289: Looking East
"These ships are so big, they are the same as small palaces, are all the ships built in the Far East such a big now?" The last stop is the Ryukyu Shipyard, where treasure ships are also being built, as well as some clippers.
This is different from the shipyards in Qiongzhou, where all efforts are made to build treasure ships, but despite this, the speed of shipbuilding in Qiongzhou is difficult to meet the needs of Far East trade. After all, the treasure ship is too big, and it will take a long time.
"No, there are also some clippers. Although this treasure ship is large, it is stable, and it has a lot of stuff. However, it takes a long time, and the speed is not as fast as the clipper boat, so there will be a lot of clipper boats produced here. ”
Li took a good look at the situation of the shipyard and explained to Chen Sanniang with a smile, although Chen Sanniang invested in the shipyard, she had never been to the shipyard, and this was the first time she had come to see the shipyard with Li.
"The main business here is Fusang in the east and Goguryeo in the north, and Datang is relatively familiar with this sea area than the Nanyang side. In addition, the business here will not be too big, both places are small places, and the time is short, and most of them are better to use clippers. ”
"Well, I don't know much about that. Is that the naval training ground you were talking about? Do we still need to use troops externally? "Chen Sanniang now says that the words of our Datang are much smoother than before, and obviously recognize the current identity.
"If you have this idea, it depends on how the emperor responds." Li Hao didn't hide it, he did have this idea. Li Hao, the country of Fusang, has never been pleasing to the eye, and since he knew that he had a chance to destroy this country, Li Hao has been thinking about it.
The best Fusang is to turn Fusang into a state, and Fusang Island is full of people from the Tang Dynasty. And Li Hao has now collected a lot of news from Fusang, and with the frequent business contacts between Lingnan Road and Ryukyu, Li Hao knows a lot about Fusang.
On the island side, it was the Asuka period, and the important events at this time were roughly Prince Shotoku and the Taika Reform. One thing Li Hao didn't catch up with the time, it happened in the Sui Dynasty. The other thing hadn't happened yet, and Li Hao was ready to kill Fusang before it happened. Because these two major events have a lot to do with the eastern side, and slowly make Fusang stronger.
In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, a remarkable figure appeared in the island country, and this was Prince Shotoku. This person is just a clown on the side of Datang, but he is a household name in the island country, and the words island country and emperor were coined by him.
Prince Shotoku was the nephew of the 33rd Emperor Suiko of the island country and the de facto ruler of the island country during the reign of Emperor Suiko.
He also changed the ruler from the Great King to the Emperor, and at the same time posthumously recognized all the previous Wa kings of the island country as the Emperor. Attempts were made to establish a centralized state system centered on the emperor. Prince Shotoku sent an envoy Ono Meizi (this guy is a man, Khan) to the Sui Dynasty to explain the reform measures of the island country and handed over the letter of state to Emperor Yang of Sui, which is also the reason why Li Hao and the Tang Dynasty people thought that this Prince Shotoku was a clown who jumped off the beam.
The national letter of the island country was in the hands of Lao Yang, and when Emperor Yang of Sui looked at it, his nose was almost crooked, and the national letter read: "The Son of Heaven at sunrise is not harmed on the day of the book." The island country was a courtier of the Great Sui at this time, and he dared to call himself the Son of Heaven, and he was also the Son of Heaven at sunrise. Emperor Yang of Sui is the Son of Heaven at sunset, doesn't this mean that the Great Sui is about to set.
Therefore, Emperor Yang of Sui was very angry, but it was inconvenient for him to have a seizure, so he just told his ministers not to let the island people come in the future. But Prince Shotoku, the clown who jumped the beam, did not give up, and after a few years, he sent someone over to deliver the credentials. This time it was even worse, as the national document read: "The Emperor of the East respects the Emperor of the White West."
This time, Emperor Yang of Sui almost fainted, the emperor of the east is called the Son of Heaven, and the emperor of the island country is called the emperor, obviously a generation higher. Horse, this jumping beam clown kicked his nose in the face, so Emperor Yang of Sui sent an envoy to negotiate with the island country, but because of the difficult and dangerous road, he did not go.
This is the biggest regret on the eastern side, although Lao Yang may not be able to capture the island country even if he finds it, but only the people of the island country can come and go to the east, and only a small number of people in the east can sneak over. This is really a very regrettable place, otherwise the island country would not have been able to develop freely for so many years, and the clown would not dare to humiliate Lao Yang so much.
During the Tang Zhenguan period, although Li Er was also very unhappy with the island people, the island country still sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty more than ten times to learn advanced culture and systems. After returning to China, these envoys planned a very important event in the history of the island nation, which was the "Dahua Reform".
This so-called Dahua reform has a very grand mark in the history of the development of the island country, and it is also an important period of transition for the island country.
The reformers assassinated Soga Irika, who held the real power of the island nation, and put an end to the Soga dictatorship. In 646 A.D., Emperor Kotoku of the island country carried out the "Taika Reform". On the basis of Prince Shotoku's reform, it was further advanced, and the Tang Dynasty's legal system was used as a model, referring to the old customs of the island nation.
Reforms were carried out in the economic and political aspects, abolishing the monopoly system of the wealthy clans, stipulating a centralized feudal state system, and making the island country enter a feudal society from a slave society. The emperor's assumption of real power was the starting point for a turning point in the rise of the island nation.
For about 200 years, the emperor was the supreme ruler of the island country, but from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the island royal family began to decline, and the real power fell into the hands of the Fujiwara clan. The Imperial Family, known as the "One Lineage of Eternity", has since embarked on the road of decay and has been manipulated by others.
Li Hao wanted to use troops against the island country at this time, so he naturally saw the right time. Grab ahead of the so-called Dahua innovation, knock it on the spinal cord when the island country rises, so that they will never be able to get up, just worried that Li Er will not agree!
At this time, it was a period of serious social crisis in the island country, and the exchange students sent to the Tang Dynasty during the Tuigu Dynasty returned to China one after another. In 632, Nanyuan asked An and Gao Xiang Xuanli to return to the island country in 640 and are running around the island country for this country.
They exchanged with the Tang Dynasty for twenty or thirty years, experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties, absorbed rich cultural knowledge and ruling experience, and actively spread it after returning to China, which had a strong influence among some nobles, and attracted many people to respond to them.
Under the influence of the feudal system of the Sui and Tang dynasties taught by returned students, new forces emerged in the royal family and aristocratic class that advocated reform, and their representatives were the eldest brother of the middle brother and the prince and the middle minister Kamazu.
The eldest brother is the son of Emperor Shuming. Zhongchen Kamazu was born in a family of hereditary priests, was studious and well-read at an early age, studied in the monk Min, and was taught in Nanyuan with the eldest brother and the prince. The eldest brother and the middle minister Kamazu both hated the tyrannical Soga Ezo and Iriru father and son, so the two conspired to defeat Soga Irishi, overthrow the Soga clan, and seize the power of the imperial court.
The elder brother accepted the suggestion of Nakatomi Kamazu, and first won over the famous doctor Soga Ishikawa Maro, who had a contradiction with Irika, to divide the forces of the Soga clan, and then united with the anti-Soviet nobles to form a reformist faction.
On June 12, 645, the reformers took advantage of Emperor Gokugoku's meeting with the envoys of Samhan in the palace and killed Soga Irishika on the grounds that "Kurasaku (Soga Irishika) will destroy the Heavenly Sect and will tilt the throne of the sun." The royal family and most of the nobles sided with the eldest brother, and Soga Ezo saw that the general situation was gone, so he burned the house and committed suicide the day after Irishi was killed.
That's why Li Hao wrote to Li Er at this time, saying that the emperor of the island country was called the emperor, which was disrespectful to Li Er. Moreover, the people of the island country calculated the Tang Dynasty everywhere after stealing the Tang Dynasty from the Tang Dynasty, and even had the action of secretly invading the Goguryeo Peninsula and other crimes.
On the other hand, Li Hao also sold a lot of armor eliminated by the Tang Dynasty to the reformists and the Su family, and revealed some things about the reformers to the Su family, which triggered a battle between the two sides in advance, so that the island country is now in a scene of two mutual fights.
And Li Hao did not let go of the Xiaoliuqiu Islands, the fleet on the Lingnan Road side has now completely occupied the Xiaoliuqiu Islands, and built a large number of bases, and at the same time the footsteps began to move in the direction of the island country, everything is waiting for Li Er's will.
This is also the reason why Li Hao came to Quanzhou Mansion at this time, this is a war to destroy the country, and it will also be a relatively protracted war, so he needs to come here to plan well, and the generals in the army should also train their concepts well.
Li Hao himself couldn't leave Lingnan Road to personally conquer Fusang, whether it was the eastern front or the southern front, there would be a war next. Therefore, Lingnan Road needs someone to preside over it, and at the same time be able to pay attention to the advance of the two lines, Li Hao naturally can't leave here.
The generals on this side of Lingnan Road have changed another batch after the year, and the generals who fought with Li Hao before and the students of the Royal Military Academy have all gone back to be promoted with merit, and then they have been assigned to other places, and now they are a new batch of students selected by Li Er.
Some of Li Hao's students still joined, even if the Royal Military Academy also had Li Hao's students, so that his influence in the army would not be hollowed out. However, now that he wants to use troops on two fronts, Li Hao naturally wants to come over and learn about the situation with these people.
Whether it is the southern front or the eastern front, there will be no major defeats in the battle on both sides, because Li Hao has made complete preparations. But he didn't worry about these new students, and he didn't allow a small defeat, although these people were the elite of the younger generation in the Tang Army.
Li Er's purpose in sending these people over is that Li Hao doesn't know, these people just came to share Li Hao's military power, so that Li Hao will not use his own troops when the time comes. Sometimes Li Hao himself feels very helpless, as if he did something to dig a pit and bury himself.
The Royal Military Academy is actually Li Hao's idea, which was originally a place for Datang to train young generals, which is a good idea. Now the young academy that came out of it has become the best flag that Li Er uses to prevent veterans from supporting their own dignity.
