As an emperor and a member of the Han Dynasty, Li Xingchen must be prepared for danger in times of peace, and everyone in the Han Dynasty must also have this awareness.
The Han Dynasty is what it is today because of hard work and struggle, but the world is still very big and there are still many threats. If the Han Dynasty just indulges in pleasure, it is destined to become another short-lived dynasty.
As the founder of the Han Dynasty, Li Xingchen must be extra careful. Threats from internal and external sources may at any time stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and eventually lead to turbulent waves that will directly lead to the destruction of the Han Dynasty.
And as ministers of the Han Dynasty, Yang Su and the others cannot take it lightly.
"His Majesty's words, if Hong Zhongda Lu is heard, I will listen to the thunder. After today, I must work harder." Yang Su said solemnly.
Li Xunchen nodded slightly, acknowledging Yang Su's small flattery: "The war in the south cannot be delayed for too long. Once Li Xun breaks through Hengshan, the main towns in the south will be under the control of the Han Dynasty. The subsequent reclamation and immigration must be steady
Advance, with the Nanzhong and Lingnan tribes as the vanguard, to occupy the land and forests of the Linyi people as soon as possible. At the same time, the army's military reclamation must also be promoted simultaneously. It is necessary to completely transform Linyi into the land of the Han Dynasty within three years!"
The ministers and ministers of the departments such as the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Commerce, which needed full cooperation in this matter, all agreed.
Linyi is now a huge experimental field for Dahan. The promulgation of policies, cooperation between various departments, etc. all need to prove its feasibility through the experimental field of Linyi. Because in the future, Dahan will
We will inevitably face such problems. After all, it depends on local conditions, and the same policy will naturally be different in different places.
Naturally, the newly conquered lands cannot be governed in the same way as the previous places. In the future, the Han Dynasty will inevitably expand to the north, south and west, and even continue to explore the oceans to the east. These new lands will be treated in this way
, is destined to be a difficult problem. The imperial court needs to explore a path suitable for the current situation of the Han Dynasty through the conquest and governance of Linyi.
Yang Su and others resigned one after another.
It was already getting late, and Li Xingchen just pointed out a direction for them. They would definitely have to discuss and implement it later. If they didn't leave, they wouldn't have to sleep tonight.
Li Xingchen stretched out, and the lights next to him suddenly became brighter.
He tilted his head slightly and suddenly trembled.
A little girl in white with disheveled hair stood beside him. If she hadn't been yawning sleepily and swaying, Li Xingchen might have thought that he had seen a ghost.
"Ning Yuan, do you want to scare me to death and leave you a widow?" Li Xingchen rubbed his eyebrows, and he had to say that he was really energetic after being scared like this.
Ning Yuan fell directly into Li Xingchen's arms: "I want to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
Li Xingchen reluctantly reached out and picked her up. She was no longer a little girl, and she was so heavy: "Okay, let's go to bed."
"Together."
Li Xingchen hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "I promised your sister today."
"Sister, it's not convenient for her." Ning Yuan suddenly became energetic, wrapped his arms around Li Xinchen, and leaned close to his ear, "But it's convenient for me."
"Why do I remember that your sister is not the same as these days?"
"That's because Your Majesty remembered it wrong." Ning Yuan's face turned slightly red, and then he said calmly, "Maybe it's because little Canghai wants to sleep with his mother today. Anyway, anyway."
"Okay, I understand, but I don't care if your sister spanks you tomorrow." Li Xingchen was a little helpless. It was rare for him to cut off his hair like a rogue.
Ning Yuan blinked immediately, looking pitiful: "Then your Majesty will protect my concubine, right?"
"That depends on your performance."
"What kind of performance?" Ning Yuan suddenly pretended not to understand.
"you guess?"
"That's it anyway!" Ning Yuan said with a red face.
Li Xingchen immediately laughed, hugged her and walked towards the back.
Although Hengshan is long, it is not without gaps in the middle.
In the middle of Hengshan Mountain, northwest of Lu Rong, there is a main passage. The valley is narrow, but it is still passable. Fan Fanzhi set up the camps of Lin Yi's army here. There are three camps, one in the middle of the valley, and the other two.
One to the left and one to the right, they formed an angle with each other, completely blocking this most important valley.
With the successive losses of Lu Rong in the south and Jiuzhen in the north, there is no doubt about the importance of this valley. It can even be said that with the geographical advantage here, Fan Fanzhi only has one chance to confront the Han army.
.
If he cannot defend even here, then Fan Fanzhi will have no choice but to retreat into the dense forests farther west, but that also means that he will lose control of all the rich lands in the east, whether it is daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, or
Things needed for combat such as swords, guns, swords and halberds will lose their sources, and the battle is destined to be doubly difficult.
For Fan Fanzhi, even though he knew that such a battle might be able to continue to delay the war and balance the huge gap between the Han army and Lin Yi army in a certain battle situation, he had been pampered for many years.
In fact, I have inner resistance to going deep into the jungle and eventually becoming like a savage.
And he also knew that the nobles in Linyi definitely did not want to accept this. If the big man's goal was not very clear, that is, to chop off their heads and divide their family property, I am afraid they would have turned against them long ago. Who would
Will they still follow Fan Fanzhi, who is doomed to fail? No matter how fat and rich the nobles who have been able to rise to power in this country with a clear gap between the rich and the poor and have been in high positions for many years, there is no one left behind.
.
Of course, this ability refers to their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances.
When Fan Fanzhi really wants to become a savage and fight against the big man to the end, these nobles will probably have to think about it. If they hand over all their property, they may still have a way to survive. If they become a savage, then they are really asking for abuse.
.
Therefore, Fan Fanzhi was not inclined to retreat into the dense forest with his troops unless absolutely necessary.
Staying at Hengshan now is Fan Fanzhi's last ditch effort.
"According to reports from scouts, Fan Fanzhi's left and right armies have already attacked southward, preparing to recapture Lu Rong, so we can only take a defensive stance towards the north." Li Xun stood in front of the sand table in the Chinese army's tent and said in a deep voice, "But
Even so, we cannot take it lightly, because the Hengshan Valley has a dangerous terrain, and Fan Fanzhi has been operating it for many years as the real gateway to the north. It is definitely not that easy to pry open this door."
"Don't worry, general, I've already made preparations before waiting." Du Qi and Feng Pu said at the same time.
