Chapter 883: Emperor, Emperor Taishang
In October, outside Liaodong, the red maple is like fire, and the mountains are lonely. 【Absolute Power】
A few years ago, it was also a fortress used by Goguryeo in Liaodong to attack and sweep away the tribes of Liaodong and resist the attack of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it was held for more than 500 years without falling. After more than 500 years of operation, the Great Sui Iron Armor Division, which had swept all directions, had also failed to attack four times, sinking millions of sand with halberds, staining Liaodong with blood, and piling up countless heads in Beijing.
However, in just a few years, this fortress fortified city, which once made countless Central Plains men feared like tigers, has already become a prosperous and famous city outside the fortress and a commercial city. As one of Dachen's companion capitals and the first foundation of Dachen, Chen Kefu has consistently strengthened the construction of this city over the years. Countless people from the Central Plains have relocated, and more people from eastern Liaodong have joined in, and the original pure military fortress has now undertaken more of the obligation of accompanying the capital, and has long become the center of the entire Liaodong, Liaoxi, and even the Samhan Peninsula and the entire Mobei grassland.
The Central Plains world withered, countless cities were ruined, has been in the post-war, Liaoyang, which has not been subject to war for a long time, has already recuperated and recovered, to this day, the entire Liaoyang City garrison 50,000, plus the soldiers who hoard fields outside the city, and their families, as well as the workers of the major workshops in the city, merchants, etc., the population of the entire Liaoyang City has exceeded 500,000 people, reaching nearly 600,000 people.
Although as early as the early years of the Great Cause, the population of Xijing'an and Luoyang, the eastern capital, once exceeded one million, and the Jiankang City in the south of the Yangtze River once exceeded 500,000 people. But that's all in the past. Since the Great Cause, the Central Plains has been in constant war. Luoyang, the center of the world, has been burned by war several times, and once there were only three or four hundred thousand people left, although the population has now recovered to nearly one million, but the city is not as prosperous as in the past. As for Jiangnan Jiankang, it was only recently broken by the Chen army after two wars in one year this year, and now it is damaged everywhere, and it is impossible to restore the prosperity of the past without three or five years. Only Xijing'an, without the flames of war, is still stable. However, there are also many people who have left a big city like Xi'an because of difficulties in life and go to other places to seek a living.
Literally speaking, such as today. Liaoyang, Tokyo, although the population is not the largest city in the world, but in terms of prosperity, even Luoyang has to surpass it.
Compared with the famous cities of Luoyang, Chang'an, and Jiankang in the Central Plains, Liaoyang City is more peaceful.
The war has been far away from Liaoyang City for several years, and due to Da Chen's painstaking management, this place has always been regarded as Da Chen's last base, so all aspects of construction have taken great painstaking efforts.
In the early years of the Great Cause, Liaoyang was the forefront of the struggle between Goguryeo and the Great Sui, and it was also the center of convergence and trade between the various tribes of Liaodong. So at that time, although it was strong, it was not prosperous. But now, Goguryeo has long been extinct, and the unruly and unruly tribes of the Jin and Khitan tribes in the past are all subordinated to Da Chen, and they are the minister's subordinate feudal states, and Murwei has directly become Chen Guozhou County, and even Silla and Baekje are also alliance countries, although the two tribes of Xi and Jin have not yet been vassals, but they have already signed an agreement with Dachen not to attack each other. Even Chen Kefu married the princess and relatives of their tribe. The Tiele Khanate in Mobei has now also married Da Chen, and the entire Mobei of Liaodong, except for the Turks who are now almost unified in the steppe, basically no longer have the past mutual attack and killing. Liaoyang, the center outside the Saiwai, has also been peaceful and prosperous for a long time.
People are all bitter cold in Liaodong. In fact, in fact, Liaodong is not poor, in the past the Central Plains people did not look down on Liaodong, the most important thing is that there are many ethnic groups in Liaodong, even if it is between those tribes of the same sex in a large clan, it is also continuous attack and defense for many years, and too frequent wars are the real reason for the bitter cold in Liaodong.
But today's Liaodong, as the base camp of Da Chen's business for several years, has long been gone. Without war, without endless looting, attacking, and killing, the black land of Liaodong immediately revealed its fertility.
The West Liaoning Corridor, the Liaodong Peninsula and even the Buyeo Road are actually a fertile Northeast Plain. This fertile plain is surrounded by the Great Xing'an Mountains, the Little Xing'an Mountains, the Yanshan Mountains, and the Changbai Mountain Mountains, and the plains inside are not much different from the Central Plains, but the climate is a little colder. But the fertile plains and the countless logs, ores, medicinal materials and other resources on the mountains are extremely rich, and the peninsula's convenient ports to the sea, as well as the western Liaoning corridor, can quickly transport these materials out of eastern Liaodong.
Stick and scoop the fish with a roe deer, and insert chopsticks to sprout.
It can be seen that the fertility of the land in Liaodong, under the strategy of military hoarding, immigration, and large-scale land distribution, this land that used to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, guarding the fertile land of white mountains and black waters, but can only live a nomadic hunting life, has long since changed.
A few years have passed, and Liaodong has now become the largest grain producer in the whole world. When the people of the Central Plains were busy with the war and couldn't eat enough food everywhere, Chen Guo relied on the fertile land of Liaodong to greatly alleviate the food shortage. And the countless workshops of all kinds in Liaoyang City have reserved countless equipment, gold and silver for Da Chen's war.
Xanadu.
This is the feeling of Chen Shen, who is a little thin, after following Chen Kefu into Liaodong for the first time, Emperor Chen Guotaishang, who has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, did not choose to stay in Jiankang, or Luoyang, but took the initiative to ask to come to Liaoyang City.
Maybe the first time he took the initiative to come to Liaoyang, it was to avoid suspicion, after all, even if Chen Kefu is his son, but now Chen Kefu is the emperor, and the father-son relationship is sometimes very complicated in front of the emperor's power.
Chen Shen had stayed in the remote Hexi Caohan County for more than 20 years, and he had long been accustomed to living in Lianjiang, and before he came, he also thought that he might not be very comfortable in the future. But when he arrived in Liaodong and followed Chen Kefu to inspect Liaodong, he had to be surprised to sigh like a paradise.
"Xanadu, this is an absolute Xanadu. I have always heard of the bitter cold of Liaodong, but I didn't expect that His Majesty had completely changed Liaodong in a few years. Liaodong is bitterly cold, for more than 1,000 years, although Liaodong has long been within the territory of our Central Plains Dynasty, but few dynasties can really manage here. But I didn't expect that Your Majesty would actually govern this land so well. This is a real piece of barren land into the land of China. It is comparable to the sage's education, it will be recorded in history, and it will be praised by countless descendants since then, and this immortal achievement is also. Although Chen Shen has no amazing martial arts, he can be regarded as a great Confucian, in his opinion, even if his son Chen Kefu unifies the world in the future, it cannot be regarded as an immortal achievement. However, his operation in Liaodong is equivalent to turning Liaodong, a land outside the Sai, into a land directly under the Central Plains. This is a great achievement, which can almost be compared with the defeat of the Xiongnu by Han Wu and the management of the Western Regions.
Chen Kefu, who had a golden armor on one side and pressed the Chixiao Divine Sword in his hand, smiled slightly, stood on the tower of the east gate of the ninth gate of Liaoyang City, smiled at the boundless vast land, and said: "Your Majesty is serious, Liaodong has belonged to me since ancient times. Everything I have done now is just a small achievement, and the merit is in the past. However, if I am not arrogant, Your Majesty please wait and see, as long as I am given three or five years, I will definitely rule the world. At that time, I will definitely be able to free up my hands to completely conquer the entire tribes and countries in Liaodong and let them return to our China. ”
Between the words, that pride was born naturally, and that momentum was not even convincing for a character like Chen Shen.
"Not only that, but in the future, I will conquer the grasslands, conquer the Western Regions, and even the far west land, at the end of the ocean. At that time, where the eagle flag is flying, Da Chen's iron hooves will step on, and it will be my Da Chen's territory."
Hearing Chen Kefu's last few words, Chen Shen had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know how to understand his son's words just now. Is it self-confidence? Or hubris? After all, even if it was Emperor Qin and Han Wu, no one dared to make such an astonishing statement.
A peerless emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who spent his entire life and reduced the world's mouth by half, was just defeating a Xiongnu.
And today, the Turks, who have unified the steppe, are no worse than the Han Xiongnu. Even the Great Sui, which was extremely powerful at the beginning, was divided in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and unified the world, could not directly face the unified Turks, and could only combine the weak and attack the strong.
What's more, the enemies of the Chen Dynasty were not only Turks. Although he has ignored the affairs of the court and the central government, and is relieved to be the emperor, he has long heard that the other seven countries in the Central Plains are now ready to move, and even heard that the envoys of various countries have gathered in Xijing'an, and heard that the seven countries and the Turks will form an alliance in Chang'an, and they will form an alliance to attack and deal with Dachen in the north and south.
With the power of one, against the whole world
Should this be called courage or ignorance?
Chen Shen's heart was full of worry, the heroes couldn't stand the wolves, and their fists were invincible to four hands.
"Emperor, I heard that the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains have formed an alliance with the Turks, and Da Chen wants to deal with the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains and a unified grassland with the strength of one country, has this really been fought?" Chen Shen sighed and said: "Your Majesty, being able to bend and stretch is sometimes the right way, and if it is too rigid, it is easy to break." Temporarily bend it, but also for the sake of the later stretch. ”
Chen Kefu just smiled when he heard this, he didn't know how many times he had heard such words recently. Is it because he is too rigid and self-serving, arrogant and can't listen to others? Of course not, it's just that sometimes, things don't go in a way that leads to a better outcome. The progress of all things is the result of his careful consideration, in today's world, all countries have long been dead and his heart is not dead, at this time he retreats, where can he retreat?
When there is no way to retreat, there is only one battle. He Chen Pojun, the last thing he is afraid of is war. If you want to fight, you will fight, you will fight, you will fight heaven and earth, and you will be afraid of everything.
What's more, who said that his enemies would form alliances, wouldn't he Chen Pojun form alliances to find allies?
Chen Kefu smiled slightly, who killed the deer, especially unknown, at this time, if his opponent thought that the victory was in hand, it would be a little too early to be happy. To be continued.
