In other words, this is the plan that the military, Baipao and His Majesty had planned long ago, and now it is just an act.
The officials headed by Tang Yishun had to admit that the acting skills of His Majesty and Chen Yu were still very good. Unfortunately, things progressed so smoothly that the civil servants did not even come back to their senses. The matter was completely finalized.
Came down.
Anyone with a little political sense will naturally realize that something is definitely wrong and that this is completely a trap. But at this point, even if they know it is a trap, they can only admit it through gritted teeth, not to mention that the military is not
There was no consideration for the civil servants at all. At least it gave them benefits and satisfied their short-term needs for Annan.
Of course, if the military does not consider anything for the civilian officials, Li Xingchen will definitely be dissatisfied without the civilian officials having to speak.
The military cannot appear too powerful, as this will arouse Li Xinchen's alert. What Li Xinchen needs is a military that can briefly gain the upper hand over civilian officials in a short period of time, especially before the war in the north is over, because
This way, when the war in the north breaks out again, we can respond quickly by relying on the military's weak advantage in the court. However, this does not mean that Li Xingchen will sit back and watch the military become stronger.
Why did the prosperous Tang Dynasty fall? It was because of the separatist rule by warlords.
At least Li Xingchen himself will not make the same mistake again. As for future generations, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
The civil servants all agreed, and Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. At least now that he was here, there would be no quarrels in the court.
Li Xingchen was still a little worried about the conflicts between civil and military officials, because the current Han Dynasty had just completed the transformation from the hereditary system of aristocratic families to the ordinary bureaucratic selection system. This was also the time when the entire Han court was most vulnerable. Through the imperial examination system and academy selection
The new system that supports it is not yet complete, or even fully established. The senior officials in the Han Dynasty are mainly selected from the original ninth-grade Zhongzheng system.
In this case, some mistakes are most likely to occur. Historically, in the Tang Dynasty, military commanders took over power, and then in the Song Dynasty, the precautions against military officers led to civilian officials holding heavy power, which ultimately led to the Song Dynasty being the weakest among all dynasties.
In fact, it was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the complete improvement and solidification of the imperial examination system, that the contradictions and conflicts between civil and military officials gradually became less direct and intense.
The balance between civil and military forces must be carefully maintained, especially in this sensitive period.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too confident and ended up playing with fire.
Li Xunchen defeated Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, but he didn't want to become Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty in history. That would be too funny.
As for the selection of the port in Annan, of course Li Xingchen had already received some information from Pei Zilie, Chen Yu and others. Even Wu Ping from the Ministry of Industry and Tang Zhengliang from the Ministry of Commerce had received some information in advance.
The sound of wind.
The Ministry of Industry needs to know this because the Ministry of Industry even needs to be consulted on the choice of port. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has always worn the same pants as the military, so it naturally has the right to know.
The military proposed such a configuration. Of course, it was not about building a tall building from the ground. According to the previous exploration done by the Ministry of Industry, it was the most important stepping stone for the Han Dynasty in the future in Southeast Asia. After taking Xianglin, the craftsmen accompanying the Ministry of Industry were already escorted by naval ships.
The following is a complete exploration of the coastline to the south and north respectively. At the mouth of a huge river south of Xianglin, there are natural ports and plains. This is almost necessary for building a large city. More importantly,
It is further south and deeper into the southern ocean.
For the Han Dynasty, one disadvantage of Lu Rong, Xiang Lin, and even Jiuzhen and other places farther north is that they are too close to Zhu Ya. It would only take a few days to cross Zhu Ya with a large navy ship.
Now the Han Dynasty has begun to develop and construct Zhuya as a haven for ships traveling to and from Nanyang, as well as a transfer station for Panyu and directly to Xiangjun and Yulin counties. Originally, Zhuya is already a little far away from Panyu.
However, Zhuyasheng is a large place and rich in products, so it is not a big problem to use it as a safe haven and transit station.
In contrast, both Xiang Lin and Lu Rong have their own shortcomings.
Or the place is narrow. For example, the sea outside Xianglin is blocked by mountains hanging out of the sea. As a result, although it is a haven, the number of ships that can berth is actually not very large. Not to mention, there are also certain requirements for the operation of the helmsman on the ship.
Before this, many ships collided with light and dark rocks on the sea, and even two ships collided and sank.
Or the place is large, but the sea conditions are not good. For example, the sea outside Lu Rong is shallow and it is difficult for large ships to enter and exit. This time the navy attacked Lu Rong Pier, which used small boats to transport people to and from the outer sea, so there was a lone army hanging in the sea.
Such dangerous matters on the dock, if Du Fuwei and others were not very determined, I am afraid that the troops who came ashore would have been driven into the sea by the elephant soldiers.
Therefore, these two flawed places, which are relatively close to Zhuya, are not completely suitable as commercial ports. However, before that, Xianglin was the southernmost point that China had ever reached, and Linyi did not have a complete
The basic system and the cities used are all left over from the past. Although there are better ports in the south, Linyi cannot use them.
With Lin Yi's national, financial and material resources, it is already very good to maintain the current territory and rule. To build a new city to the south, even if Fan Fanzhi has this ambition, Lin Yi does not have the power.
But the big Han people are different. Lin Yi doesn't have the ability to build tall buildings from flat ground, but the big Han people do.
As long as the financial and material resources are available, the Han Dynasty can indeed build tall buildings from low ground, especially since this is an important link in promoting the development of commerce and trade.
According to the military's conception, the peripheral sea area is relatively narrow, but the Xianglin is more concealed, and is of course more suitable as a military port. The newly discovered deep-water port is naturally more suitable as a commercial port for the Han in the south, and of course in the north.
Lu Rong, Jiaozhi and other places can also play a role in interlocking and supporting each other.
Li Xingchen did not object to this. According to the description in the Ministry of Industry report, he already knew that the newly discovered port should be Saigon in later generations, which is where Ho Chi Minh City is located. Historically, this was the most prosperous place in the entire Annan region.
Firstly, it takes advantage of the geographical advantages of the river mouth, and secondly, it takes advantage of its superior geographical location facing Nanyang, and finally becomes a key point connecting the interior of Southeast Asia with the outside world of Nanyang and even the entire Asia.
The estuary delta is not the best place to build a port, but further upstream from the estuary, the river surface is wide and the water flow is gentle, making it an excellent inland port choice.
