Chapter 745: Waves
Guangling is also the economic and cultural town of Yangzhou in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with mountains and seas, and its prosperity is not under Jiankang.
In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was enshrined in Guangling and established the state of Wu, that is, the mountain casts money, boils the sea for salt, and the wealth of the country of Wu is the most in the world.
There is also a developed canal system here, the earliest canal ditch in China, in this place, connecting the Huai River and the Yangtze River, the key is still by the sea, standing in the Central Plains position, its geographical advantage is still on Jiankang.
It happened that Li Jian sent a watch from Stone Town, suggesting that Jiankang City be repaired.
Li Yue immediately vetoed it.
After more than ten days, Li Jian actually came to Jiangling in person to state the matter, "Jiankang is the key to Jiangdong, and the capital of several generations is here. Restoring the old city is not very practical, there are many prisoners in the army, and there are also displaced people in the locality, who can work for relief. ”
Li Yue didn't answer, "What do you think of Guangling?" ”
"Guangling?" Li Jian was unprepared for this abrupt question, looked at the map and thought about it, "This place is an important town in Huainan, looking south to Jiangdong and east to the sea, could it be that my father wants to use this place as the foundation of the navy?" ”
"You just said, Jiankang is Jiangdong to rush, get this place can be an Jiangdong, if it is a thief stealing, then the north and the south will confront each other, the north and the south have been confronted for decades, the most difficult thing to understand is not the north-south confrontation on the territory, but the division between the north and the south in people's hearts, rebuild Jiankang, it is better to expand Guangling, and control Jiangdong with Huainan!"
Jiankang was burned down, which is equivalent to breaking a barrier in the hearts of the people of Jiangdong.
Geographically, Guangling is naturally more inclined to the Central Plains.
The Sui and Tang dynasties also vigorously developed Guangling, and the suppression of Jiankang was also effective.
Emperor Wen of Sui also destroyed Yecheng.
Judging from the current situation, the destruction of Jiankang is not a bad thing, even if it is to be repaired, it will have to wait until more than ten years later, when Gangneung is developed.
In addition, Li Yue did this to prevent the rise of Jiangdong Haoqiang in the future, and once he infiltrated Jiankang, he would have the capital to confront the northern country.
Or in the future, someone from the old Li family will go south and occupy Jiankang, and the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty will be repeated.
Guangling is located in the north of the Yangtze River, looking at Jiankang in the south.
Controlling the Yingshui Canal is equivalent to controlling Huainan, then controlling Guangling through Huainan, and then suppressing the rise of local forces in Jiangdong through Guangling, forming a complete set of control chains.
"I see, my son has been taught." Li Jian quickly figured it out.
The game between the local and the central will always exist, and it will not be changed by people's will, and both sides have their own interests.
Haoqiang represents local forces, even if Li Yue erases all these Haoqiang now, as long as there are still people in the local area, Haoqiang forces will rise again and continue the hatred of the previous generation.
Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu, and the Chu State resists the Qin State most resolutely, and it is the Chu State that finally destroys the Qin State.
There was the Tang generation, and it was always the Hebei people who rebelled......
There are also problems that knives can't solve.
"Jiangnan has been decided, I will return to Luoyang first." Half a year after the southern expedition, Li Yue was also a little tired.
"Erchen has one more thing to do."
"What?" It's certainly not a good thing to stay until the end.
"Jiangnan celebrities were slaughtered, Jiankang was destroyed in the war, and officials came to the table one after another, demanding severe punishment of the Wuhui Hao clan and the sea ...... Enemy. ”
When it came to the last two words, Li Jian spit out.
Haikou is the navy, and although it is not explicitly stated in this dispatch, it cannot withstand the pondering of smart people.
This kind of thing has always been tacit.
Li Yue paced two steps and laughed, "These recitals are not given to me, they will be handed to you first, what do you mean?" ”
Li Jian hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Erchen...... The son and the minister trespass, and the father forgives the sin. ”
The older the child gets, the more restrained he becomes in front of him.
"I don't blame you, but someone is borrowing you to test me, the Shi clan is the same as the branch, and the Jiangdong Shi clan used to be the northern Shi clan." Li Yue knows too well the little abacus in the hearts of those people.
If the north and the south are reunified, the situation of struggle will change again.
These people were afraid that Li Yue would turn around and deal with them, so the trouble was led to Jiangdong Haoqiang.
Of course, they didn't really complain about the Jiangdong Shi clan by doing this, one was tempting, and the other was afraid that Daliang would vigorously use Jiangdong Haoqiang and divide their interests.
In recent years, a large number of Hanmen Shu clans have been enabled through the imperial examination, and many Guanxi scholars have also been promoted.
The Kanto clan naturally feels the pressure.
In order to protect their own interests, they will do everything they can.
"The retainers also guessed their intentions."
"If you guessed it, why bother bringing it up? Could it be that you also pity the Jiangdong clan? Don't agree with my methods? ”
These scholars have been famous all over the world for more than 100 years, and everyone looks up to them, and someone speaks for them and redresses their grievances, which Li Yue can understand.
However, Li Jian, who was the crown prince, was also on their side, and Li Yue was a little chilled.
"If the sons and daughters don't come, I'm afraid that they will have a backhand, which will cause a bigger turmoil, and these twists and turns have been sent to the sons, and the sons and daughters can't help but report to their father." Li Jian said calmly.
The relationship between the emperor and the crown prince was inherently delicate.
After he said this, Li Yue thought of a possibility again, it seemed that someone was stirring up the relationship between himself and the crown prince.
If Li Jian hides and does not report it, he will be poked out in the future, and Li Jian will not be a person inside and out, and he will remove the hidden danger in advance.
There will be no shortage of people staring at the crown prince's throne.
"You have handled this matter very well, things are done one by one, first deal with Jiangdong affairs, I will transfer a group of generals such as Xie Xuan, Zhu Yao, Huan Shiqian and others to your command, and then add Deng Yao, Liu Gaozhi, Zhuge Kan, etc., and the four states of Jiangning and Guangjiao will be handed over to you."
"Thank you, Father." Li Jian understood the deep meaning behind it, and his face was moved.
After pacifying the four states in the south of the Yangtze River, there are military exploits and so many old ones, and the position of the prince will become more and more stable.
Li Yue handed over part of the military power to him, which was a trust in him and made him feel at ease.
The relationship between the emperor and the crown prince is the foundation of the stability of the Great Liang.
"On weekdays, you have to wear a layer of armor inside, bring more guards, be on guard day and night, and pay more attention to your diet and daily life. Li Yue tirelessly advised.
Just like the confrontation between the center and the locality, the struggle for succession is inevitable.
Power is like a moth to a fire, knowing that there will be countless people jumping into it.
What's more, it is the supreme power in the world, and I don't know how many careerists are coveted.
The battle for succession is not only a private matter for the royal family, but various other forces will also be involved and push the situation forward.
"Erchen...... Erchen ......"
Li Yue patted him on the shoulder, "Remember, you are my son, the crown prince of Daliang, the future emperor, and you can't be controlled by others!" ”
"Sons remember the teachings of their father."
The unification of the North and the South does not mean that you can sit back and relax.
More challenges are yet to come, the heights are cold, the rapids are full of whirlpools.
