After going around the construction site of Tanggu City, taking in two Venetian brothers by the way, and publicly announcing the religious policy, Chen Dexing and Zhao Fu returned to the "Thunderbolt" together. Because he was going to Liaodong soon, Chen Dexing put his Chinese army on the battleship.

The campaign to conquer Liao actually began 10 days ago, and Land Rover led a division to Jinzhou on a sea ship. When Chen Dexing returned to the "Thunderbolt", the good news had already arrived.

Seeing Chen Dexing and Zhao Fu walking in while talking, Zhang Shijie smiled and greeted him with the document of Land Rover's victory: "King, the evil tiger has gained a firm foothold in Jinzhou, and there are no birdmen there except for a few fishing and hunting tribes. As soon as our ships arrived, they were all taken. Now Land Rover has set up a stockade on the Great Black Mountain and blocked the entrance to the Golden State. ”

There were no Mongol fortifications in Jinzhou - even if they did, it would not be possible to stop the Land Rovers with artillery and thunder, so it was better not to defend them. However, the absence of defense does not mean that the Mongols will be indifferent and will not fight back after learning that Chen Dexing is going to build Jinzhou as their first national capital.

"The name of Golden State was given by Jurchen, so we can't use it." Chen Dexing was very satisfied with Land Rover's report, the topography of Jinzhou is a peninsula, and an isthmus less than 10 miles wide south of Daheishan is the entrance to the Jinzhou Peninsula. Hold there, the more than 1,000 square kilometers of Jinzhou Peninsula is Chen Dexing's lair.

"That piece of land was called Suzhou in the Liao Dynasty." Chen Dexing pondered and said, "But this name is also from Tartar, so we can't use it." ”

"The land of Jinzhou was once under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty, and it belonged to Duli Town, Jili Prefecture." Liu Yang has been studying the materials of Liaodong and Jinzhou these days. Among them, there is a situation about the Tang Dynasty Andong Protectorate.

"Anton......" Chen Dexing still shook his head, "For Datang." Liaodong is already the far east, but for me it is not so. To the east of Liaodong, there is still a vast land. The land of the Golden State is not suitable for the name Anton. Why don't you call it Mingdufu? ”

As the name suggests, Mingdu is the capital of the Ming king! Chen Dexing meant that he was ready to establish a capital in the land of Jinzhou.

Of course, this capital is only temporary. In the future, when Chen Dexing reigns in the world, it is impossible to build a capital in Dalian in the future. But for Chen Dexing, who is backed by the sea and competes for Goryeo and Liaodi, this piece of land with land antennas and natural harbors on the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula is really very good.

"With the Golden State as the capital?" Zhao Fu walked to the map table. After staring at it for a while, he nodded, "If the sea is the frontier, Jinzhou is a place where the capital can be built." Backed by Liaodi, facing the sea, relying on Yanyun on the left and Goryeo on the right, it is possible to build the business of the king. It's just that with Jinzhou as the capital, this sea will have to spend a lot of effort to control zhì......"

Zhao Fu means that Chen Dexing has invested too much at sea. The army can only fight in the field, but the navy has a two-ocean fleet! This time, he grabbed 20 spinnales under construction in Haijin Town, and it is estimated that the size of the navy will soon double -- by that time, there will be more than 40 galleys alone, and I am afraid that there will be no less than 30,000 officers and men! And even if the upper, middle and lower armies of the army are built. Counting some troops directly under the Military Affairs Department and the General Staff Department, the number is only 40,000. If you add the officials of the Northland Recruitment Division, the craftsmen of various ordnance institutes and shipyards. There are also cadets of the Northern Expeditionary Military Academy. There are more than 80,000 people in the entire Mingwang system who eat public meals! Compared with the population base of up to 300,000 Han Chinese, 80,000 is not a minority. If it weren't for the fact that nearly 50,000 people were pulled up on the ground in the Southern Song Dynasty before Chen Dexing arrived in Goryeo. With 300,000 people, it is impossible to raise such an army.

But here's the thing. 80,000 people is almost the limit that the Northern Expeditionary Army can reach at present. If we want to expand, it will be difficult to support it with a population of just a few hundred thousand.

With the total number of troops temporarily peaking, the Northern Expeditionary Army seems to have faced the problem of not being able to maintain a large navy and a large army at the same time. And to possess Liaodi and Goryeo, a large army is needed. However, to set the capital of Jinzhou, it is necessary to take the sea as the frontier, and a strong navy is a must......

Therefore, before and after Chen Dexing led the army to leave Ganghwa Island for the expedition, there was a debate about "sea and land" in the Northern Expeditionary Army system. Zhao Fu, as Chen Dexing's adviser, naturally participated in it.

"It is necessary to control the sea, without this sea...... There is no way for the food and equipment of the 780,000 Northern Expedition soldiers, so what kind of development can we talk about? ”

Chen Dexing's attitude is very simple, sea power first, land power second! Sea power is the lifeline, and land power is the line of development. Without life, what kind of development can we talk about?

"But in the future, the army will leave at least one army in Goryeo, and Yanyun will have to keep at least half an army here, relying on one and a half troops with less than 20,000 people, how can we create a foundation in Liaodong?"

Zhao Fu shook his head again and again, he also knew that the sea was important, but it was also a reality that there were not enough soldiers in the Northern Expedition. Now there are a few points in Goryeo and one point in Yanyun, and they all have to stay and garrison. How many people can be left for Liaodong and Liaoxi? Not to mention the various Tartars in Liaodong and Liaoxi, there are no less than 800,000 people in the Mongolian headquarters, and there are 150,000 who can fight, and they are all cavalry! Rely on the 20,000 of the Northern Expeditionary Army to settle down?

"20,000 people is enough!" Chen Dexing sneered, "How many people are there in Temujin's begging department?" Don't unify Mongolia as well? Even if he unified the Mongol tribes, it was only 95 thousand households, and the total number of the four kings of the host who came to Liao was only 30 thousand households, and the Mongols used 30 thousand households to bulldoze the Jurchen's nest and slaughter millions of people outside the country. I have 20,000 elite soldiers, and strong ships and artillery, so why can't I drive the Mongols away? ”

"Didn't the king have a clever plan?" Zhao Fu asked with a smile. It's really a shame to say, he, a fan-shaking strategist, doesn't have as many ideas as Chen Dexing most of the time.

"It's not a clever plan, it's just the old way - edification! Educate all kinds of Tartars in Liaodi! ”

"Enlightened Tartars?" Zhao Fu frowned and didn't speak, but Zhang Shijie on the side shook his head and interjected: "King, the Tartar is afraid of power but not virtue, and it is not easy to educate!" ”

"How could it not be easy?" Chen Dexing smiled and said, "In the past, we were not very successful in educating all kinds of tartars, and that was because we didn't find the right way. Grace and power, I finally forgot a teaching word! Without teaching, how can you turn Hu into a man? Do you want to talk to Tartar about the great teachings of Confucius and Mencius? Do you understand? ”

"This ......" Zhao Fu shook his head with a wry smile, "What the king said is reasonable, that is, there are a few Tartars who can understand the way of Confucius and Mencius, and it is difficult for them to become Han people." ”

The matter of turning Hu into Han is generally a failure! Chen Dexing, who was 56 and others in his previous life, has a deep understanding of this. Whether it is a combination of will, two less and one wide, the final result is that the Han culture is at a disadvantage. First it was defeated in the Western Regions of Central Asia, then it languished in Southeast Asia, and finally it could only be trapped in the fundamental land of East Asia. In contrast, Celestialism and Christianity appear to have been very successful.

And the biggest weakness of Han culture, towards Heaven and Christ, is that there is no strong religion, and there is no effective immortal. The Han family uses Huairou to influence morality, while others use immortals to fool, those who believe are indoctrinated, and those who do not believe are rejected or even physically eliminated! Compared with the two, the superiority is immediately divided.

It seems quite correct to say that the Han family emphasizes virtue and despises ghosts and gods -- religion always has superstitious elements, which is not conducive to social progress and scientific discoveries (but most of the scientific discoveries on this planet belong to God-believing peoples), and it seems to be quite weak.

But atheists never think that religion is actually an instrument of struggle! A tool of struggle to unite oneself and educate others!

Fortunately, Chen Dexing now has the Heavenly Daoist Sect and a rather effective immortal.

……

"Heavenly Dao envoy, Tongtianqiu has been moved on the ship, and the general affairs who know Mongolian and Jurchen have also arrived."

When the goddess stick boarded the "Taiyi Sacred", all the preparations before departure were ready.

As soon as she received the news that the Northern Expeditionary Army had landed in Liaodong, she packed her bags, took a few Tongtian Spheres and Goryeo Tongshi, and boarded a three-masted ship "Taiyi" belonging to the Heavenly Taoist Sect. There were also ten purple-clothed Taoists, twenty yellow-clothed Taoists and thirty Tsing Yi Taoists who set off with her.

These Taoists are all members of the Heavenly Daoist Sect. Tiandaoism was born out of the Mingjiao and Taoist Shenxiao sects, which were originally very secular. The teachers can marry wives and have children, and there are not too many disciples who enter the temple to practice. Under Chen Dexing's control, Tiandao Sect has taken another step forward on the road of secularization. Not only can the clergy marry wives and have children, but there is no longer any content of alchemy and immortal cultivation, and there is no longer any content of becoming a god in the flesh, only emphasizing becoming a god after death and the soul ascending to heaven.

Moreover, Chen Dexing's own Ming King, in the "Taiyi Light Sutra" being compiled by the Heavenly Taoist Sect, is a demigod who is ordered by the Taiyi God to descend to earth, that is, the soul is a god and the body is a human. And his inventions and creations are not magic, but the application of the knowledge that Chen Dexing's soul learned in the Taitian Court in the world.

The exploration, discovery, and creation of science are all regarded as the inquiry into the truth of the One God, who has taught mankind the method of exploring science, in the hope that human beings will explore and discover on their own.

And Chen Dexing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, came up with all kinds of inventions and discoveries just to sweep away the darkness - in fact, he knew much more than he showed to the world!

After the Truth, the Immortals, and the demigods as the sect leader were all in place, the great spread of the Heavenly Dao Sect was put on the agenda. Unlike Taoism, which focuses on personal cultivation, Tiandao does not cultivate, only explores and learns, and at the same time regards preaching and preaching as the most important mission.

This time, Mo Yingniang personally went out to spread the Heavenly Dao in Liaodong and use the Heavenly Dao to educate all kinds of Tartars! (To be continued......)
