Chapter 1551 The conflict between civil and military
At this point, although the Han Dynasty can only control the area north of Hengshan and the coastline south of Hengshan, it is only a matter of time that the rest of the area falls under the control of the Han Dynasty, especially the Linyi royal family headed by Fan Fanzhi
The destruction left the remaining local officials and nobles in Linyi without a leader. Without the courage to start a new business, all they could do was obediently obey the orders of the big man.
At least now that the big man has just become the master of Lin Yi, his help is indispensable.
In particular, the Han Dynasty has not yet fully determined the governance measures for Linyi. This is mainly due to the fact that the Han Dynasty still lacks understanding of the basic national conditions and people's conditions in Linyi. Therefore, of course, these local gentry may not be able to deal with the actual situation of Linyi.
Calling these people chiefs is more appropriate and more valuable.
For them, it doesn't actually matter who is on top of their heads. The original Fan family is not a pure local Cham, but a Han with Cham blood. Now it is directly re-attached to the Celestial Kingdom, which is dominated by Han people.
It's not a big deal either.
In their view, this war was more like a master who was dissatisfied with the domineering subordinates and simply replaced them. However, both the subordinates and the master were Han people, and this world was originally Han people.
It doesn't matter who is the boss, as long as the Han people don't take away a third of an acre of land from them, it doesn't matter who is the boss, it can be changed every day.
Therefore, the Han Dynasty should be able to quickly establish its rule over Linyi, and in terms of administrative divisions, Linyi land will also form Annan Prefecture together with the previous Jiaozhi, which Li Xinchen has already arranged.
Of course, he would not wait until the South was pacified before preparing to take over many matters in the South.
Even before that, young backbones drawn from various state capitals were ready to go south to reinforce the newly formed Annan State, establish a stable order as soon as possible, and promulgate policies that were fine-tuned to the special local conditions.
The only way to win people's hearts is to stabilize the chaos and promulgate new policies.
Stabilizing the chaos can make the people trust and rely more on the court, and promulgating new policies, especially those that are beneficial to all levels of society, can truly make all sectors of society be grateful and loyal to the court.
With the experience of entering Jiangnan and Guanzhong before, Li Xingchen and the various ministries of the imperial court were already familiar with the journey.
There is no need for Li Xingchen to worry about these. What Li Xingchen is really worried about is the division of interests after this big victory.
With the promulgation of Li Xingchen's policies and the implementation of the imperial examination system, the factions formed by aristocratic families in the court were no longer very obvious, and even gradually disappeared. However, as long as there are people, there will be contradictions, especially as an emperor.
, Li Xingchen needed to maintain the existence of such contradictions and conflicts in order to maintain the stability of his imperial power.
What is more prominent in the court now is the conflict between the military and civilian officials. This time the direct conflict between the navy and the army has been resolved. The navy and the army have completely changed from fighting separately to becoming a large unit. This
It is also reflected in the mutual cooperation between generals at all levels below. For example, the cooperation between Luo Yi and Qi Xin resulted in the Han army's great victories from Xianglin to Lurong.
The temporary disappearance of internal conflicts in the military has caused the military's attention to begin to shift externally, and those civilian officials who are always thinking about reducing military expenditures are naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Throughout the ages, it is not unusual for civil and military officials not to deal with them, and it is even inevitable, so there is nothing surprising about it.
During this southern expedition, the civil servants and military generals naturally also wanted to finally seek benefits in this battle.
The so-called seeking benefits is actually more about establishing cooperation with other departments and strengthening ties between allies, so that they can have more say and be more united in subsequent direct or indirect conflicts in the court.
Therefore, such conflicts are directly reflected in the division of various aspects of Linyi.
To give a direct example, Xianglin, as the largest port in Linyi, has naturally attracted the attention of all parties. It was originally an important terminal on the Nanyang trade route. Now it is under the control of the Han Dynasty, and it is destined to become the place where the Han Dynasty controls the entire Nanyang.
At the same time, starting from Xianglin, one can enter the inland to the west and pass through the entire Southeast Asia to the east. Therefore, how to plan and manage Xianglin has become an important issue.
As early as when the Han army had just captured Xianglin, the navy had clearly proposed to turn this deep-water port into the navy's foothold in Nanyang. For this reason, the Ministry of Commerce, which had always been on the same side as the navy, clearly expressed dissatisfaction.
For the Ministry of Commerce, once the navy occupies a port, even if it is only half of the port, it means that the flow of merchant ships will be restricted. In particular, the navy will inevitably strengthen its review of merchant ships for security reasons, which will seriously affect Xiang Lin's ability to perform his duties.
It serves as an important port on the trade route.
For the rest of the civil servants, the military's occupation of Xianglin Pier also means that the military will become a force that cannot be ignored in Xianglin. As long as there is an army, everything must be done by the army first. This is what everyone knows.
It is clear that the civil officials do not want the military, represented by the navy, to enter Xianglin. This will seriously affect the promulgation of various policies of the court and the development of Xianglin, especially the development of commerce and trade.
In the imperial court's plan, Xianglin will be the largest city in Annan after Jiaozhi, playing the role of guarding southern Xinjiang. Without commerce, Xianglin would not have its current scale, and without commerce, this southern wilderness near the sea
The town will be useless, let alone become an important town in the south? Even Lu Rong may replace it.
Therefore, it is rare for the civil servants to reach an agreement with the Ministry of Commerce, which smells of copper, and they stand on the opposite side of the military. Even the Ministry of Industry, which wants to build a large shipyard in Xianglin, has wavered in its position. After all, the navy's arrival means that the industry
The construction of civilian ships in Xianglin will be tied up.
And the orders for military warships alone will definitely not be able to match the orders for commercial ships in the short term.
It was rare for the six departments of the imperial court to stand together this time, which forced Li Xingchen to intervene. There were also many similar conflicts, and the two sides almost came to blows over whether the military role was more important or the civil affairs role was more important.
Although these civil servants are thin and weak, you must know that the Confucianism that people believe in in this era is not the Confucianism that was castrated in later generations. The six arts of a gentleman, regardless of whether they are proficient or not, can be mastered. Even in the Han Academy later, swordsmanship was still
It is a very important subject.
Therefore, if it is really one-on-one, the civil servants who have good personal fighting skills are really not afraid of these generals, so they must not lag behind others in terms of momentum!
If it weren't for Li Xingchen's reputation, they would have started fighting long ago.
