Worshiping the strong has always been a Japanese tradition. At that time, Li Xingchen can use the route they have explored to do something for this small country.
But this is all for later.
Now the Han Dynasty lacks exploration of the East China Sea, and does not have so much manpower and material resources to explore it.
Because the Marines of the Navy have always planned to land in Youzhou, the hydrological and geographical conditions along the East China Sea coast have been clearly understood by Bai Pao in cooperation with the Navy. If the sea route is limited to the eastern coast, it will be very safe.
"There are mostly tidal flats along the coast of the Two Huaihe Rivers, so it may not be that easy to find a suitable port." Li Xingchen said with a frown. The coast of the Two Huaihe Rivers was later known as the northern Jiangsu area. The large and small rivers that flowed through the two Huai River areas constantly brought sediment to the coastline.
Not to mention that the coastline continues to move eastward, and the coastline is mostly composed of accumulated mud and sandy beaches, making it impossible to build a port.
Of course, if you have enough money, anything can be achieved, but even later generations did not dig a port here, and Li Xingchen would not do such a stupid thing.
He doesn't have that much money now.
"I'm afraid it's not worthwhile to open a port in the Huaihe River, right?" Li Xinchen said after thinking, "Baipao has done a survey on the hydrological conditions along the Huaihe River before. I remember that I have seen it. This report can be sent directly to
Dai Cai. However, in addition to the Huaihe River, the hydrology in Qingzhou should be better, and we can consider opening a shipping port."
Historically, Dengzhou and other places on the Shandong Peninsula were important northern ports.
If they really want to develop maritime transportation, Li Xingchen thinks Qingzhou is a good choice.
The Han Dynasty will definitely attack Goryeo or even Fusang in the future. Qingzhou is the best springboard. When the Han Dynasty's navy is strong enough, the Army Division only needs to play a diversionary role in Youzhou. The navy can completely solve it.
Goryeo.
Historically, the reason why Goryeo became a headache for the Sui and Tang dynasties was because it guarded the choke points on land, and could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. If China ignored it, it would harass the entire Liaodong. If the imperial court controlled it, it would harass the entire Liaodong.
Not only would we have to go on an expedition, we might also be blocked by those fortresses, unable to advance or retreat.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suffered such a loss, and if Tang Taizong had not been stable enough in the country and his prestige was quite high, plus there were no Turks behind him to cause trouble, he might not have ended up much better than Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Go. Even as wise as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he almost came back defeated in Goryeo.
If Li Xingchen wanted to win Korea, of course he couldn't follow the old path of these two men.
The current shipbuilding technology of the Han Dynasty is not comparable to that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history. A cross-sea expedition is indeed more reliable than a detour on land.
However, Li Xingchen's ideas about Goryeo are still in his mind. He does not want to reveal too much about how to expand the territory after unifying the world. The expansion of the entire territory is gradual. If it is given up too early,
The civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty knew that the world was still so vast and the enemies outside were still so weak, so they would definitely be eager for quick success and would gradually lose sight of the enemies in the north.
There is no problem in strategically despising the enemy, but this does not mean that the enemy can be despised. In Li Xingchen's view, contempt and contempt are absolutely different.
The further we get to this point, the more careful we need to be.
The foundation that he has finally built must not fall apart just because he made a wrong step. Of course, Li Xingchen also knows that his foundation is no longer as weak as it was back then, and he will not be satisfied with just one adventurous move or failure.
All losses have been lost, but now is the time when the world is eagerly waiting for unification. On the one hand, his failure will greatly extend the time of unification, and on the other hand, it will also undermine the confidence of the government and the opposition.
The big man is like a chariot that has been fully started. Once it is started, it must crush everything in front of it. Once the chariot is overturned because of a small stone on the roadside, then you want to turn the chariot over.
, I don’t know when it will be activated again. At the same time, the enemy on the opposite side will not watch all this.
"Reporting to your majesty, the agricultural reclamation in Qingzhou is also recovering now," Bao Xing hurriedly replied while searching for the memorial. "In addition, the navy had planned to land in Qingzhou before to attack the Huaibei defense line. However, the Zhou people were defeated too quickly, so this plan was
Forget it, but the navy has indeed taken a fancy to several ports in Qingzhou. If it can choose one of them for civil use, it would be feasible. The revival of Qingzhou, with the help of Jiangnan, should be faster than it is now."
"That's it." Li Xingchen smiled, "In this way, goods from the south of the Yangtze River can reach Qingzhou directly by sea. Coupled with the waterways of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, the revitalization of the north will be just around the corner!"
Bao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing for the Han Dynasty now is to restore the economy and farming in the Central Plains. Li Xingchen's words just now are equivalent to pointing out a general direction.
The rest is a matter of small details.
Li Xingchen nodded to Bao Xing: "Aiqing needs to discuss this matter with the Ministry of Revenue, Lianghuai and Qingzhou. If necessary, the Ministry of Industry and the military should all know. Aiqing should not take the credit alone.
"
Bao Xing couldn't help but smile and cup his hands: "Your Majesty is so optimistic about your minister's appetite."
"The appetite shouldn't be too small. As a big man, if you don't have the appetite, how can you swallow the world for me?" Li Xingchen joked.
Bao Xing is also a smart guy, and of course he understands that Li Xingchen is reminding him that although he can't take everything on his side, he can't do nothing, leave everything to his subordinates, or even pretend to be powerful.
, using Li Xingchen’s name to assign tasks to other places. He must do what he should do, and it is best not to do what he should not do.
Bao Xing responded solemnly: "I obey your order."
There are all kinds of monarchs in history, some have perverse personalities, some are steady and majestic, and some are suspicious. At least the majesty in front of me has something to say and will not hide all his thoughts and even suspicions in his heart.
.
If you treat your ministers honestly and honestly, your ministers will naturally be willing to go to pieces with you.
Li Xingchen glanced at Yu Chizhen, who was sitting next to him, just waiting quietly for him to finish speaking to Bao Xing, and said in a deep voice: "My beloved, go discuss this matter with the ministries as soon as possible, and I will read the rest of the memorials."
Of course Bao Xing understood that Yuchizhen must have something to report to Li Xinchen about the inner palace. Although the various tasks the inner palace is doing are no longer limited to the palace walls, after all, the inner palace is His Majesty's small treasury.
I am not qualified to interfere with the flow of funds within the government.
In particular, His Majesty has obviously handed over some cultural, educational and medical services to the inner government, which means that education, medical care and other matters closely related to the daily life of the people should be taken into his own hands. This will naturally allow the people and the royal family to better
