Chapter 2153 Dahan has its own national conditions
The minerals and other minerals discovered by the Han Dynasty are just a drop in the bucket. They can meet the current needs, but they will definitely not be able to meet the long-term needs in the future.
This is what everyone sees.
Therefore, exploration, conquest and immigration have now become one of the important foreign strategies of the Han Dynasty, gradually replacing the original vassal system.
The Han Dynasty did not need to block the feudal vassal, but needed to take all the manpower and material resources on this land as its own.
This does not mean that the previous dynasties' policies of appeasing foreign countries were completely rejected. The reason why each dynasty chose to do this was not because the emperor really had no ambition to annex these small countries or even small tribes, but
Because annexing these barbaric lands will only increase the burden of garrison guards on the court.
Qin Shihuang once made a big move that shocked the world. He stationed 500,000 troops in Lingnan. Although the Lingnan area was quickly populated and developed, the price paid was also heavy. The center of the Qin Dynasty lacked 500,000 troops to conquer the war.
Faced with the rebellion of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, the army could hardly do anything but parry.
The same was true in the Han Dynasty after that. The Western Regions Protectorate and the like were established, and they often only controlled most countries in the Western Regions from a distance and punished those who refused. They did not say that they would directly destroy all these countries like in the Tang Dynasty. Until
When Ban Dingyuan conquered the Western Regions, there were still many remaining countries in the Western Regions for this historically famous boss to gain experience.
In the final analysis, it’s not that they don’t want to. As long as an emperor has a little ambition, who doesn’t want to be able to expand the territory and leave his own illustrious name in the history books?
I just don’t have the money to open it; and even if I open it, what use will these barren lands have to this dynasty? Once the barbarians counterattack, will they defend or not? The Central Plains Dynasty once appeared in the control of Jiaozhi.
this problem.
Boss Cao's phrase "tasteless, tasteless!" may be the most appropriate way to describe it.
So it is better for all the nations to come to court and show their prestige. Although it is not as nice as opening up new territories, it is still better than doing nothing!
However, this was the actual situation when the small-scale peasant economy was dominated, but it is not absolutely inconsistent with the current rapid expansion of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty, which has now achieved preliminary industrialization, is like a gold-swallowing behemoth. It requires too many resources, too many manpower and material resources. Under such circumstances, it is no longer possible to let those barbarian tribes live freely.
, the Han people need their land to obtain resources and their people as the cheapest labor force.
Therefore, there is no need for Li Xingchen to give more instructions, immigration, and expansion are all inevitable.
He also wanted to shout that I, a big man, have my own national conditions and are different from you!
After that, it was logical to immigrate to the Western Regions, and Li Xingchen was confident about it.
The rich minerals in the Western Regions and the Silk Road flowing with gold were enough to drive countless Han people crazy.
Therefore, Li Xingchen is more looking forward to the peaceful evolution of the Western Regions. When the economies and even people's livelihood of the countries in the Western Regions are under the control of the Han Dynasty, and national defense and security need to rely more on the breath of the Han Dynasty, they will naturally become
A state capital of the Han Dynasty.
The most taboo thing about this is naturally to make people in the Western Regions feel disgusted or hostile to the Han. If the Han's products are not accepted and their culture is rejected, how can we achieve assimilation into the Western Regions?
But having said that, Li Xingchen is also worried that if the Han Dynasty is too tolerant to the countries in the Western Regions, these guys may not take the Han Dynasty seriously, and then they will still be independent. Although this may also achieve Li Xingchen's influence through subtle influence.
Purpose, but who knows when that will happen, and at that time, what changes will happen in the Western Regions, and what changes will happen west of the Western Regions, who knows?
Moreover, Li Xingchen could not guarantee that his descendants would be able to implement his strategy consistently, so the Han side itself was not a given.
So Li Xingchen himself is still hesitating.
He wants the Western Region to become a part of China forever.
This is definitely not something that can be implemented and put into effect just by having an idea.
This requires careful consideration, and it requires careful consideration by many people.
Li Xingchen is at least very fortunate that those around him can be called outstanding people in the world.
Such a long-term plan must be completed in this lifetime.
This experience cannot be in vain.
————————————-
June 23, the fifth year of the New Year.
The weather is already very hot, but Luoyang is close to the north, and coupled with the influence of the Little Ice Age, there is still a bit of coolness in the wind. If you are in Jiankang Mansion at this time, I am afraid that the ice stored in the ice cellar will start to burst.
It was consumed in a hurry.
Li Xingchen stood in the main hall, wearing a yellow robe, an emperor's crown on his head, a sword hanging from his waist, and holding his hand on his belt.
In fact, Li Xingchen himself prefers the black red dragon robe. Black has its own majesty and solemnity, and the red dragon is a symbol of the big man. In comparison, this yellow dragon robe is really eye-catching, with golden light.
It's gleaming, rich and powerful, but it lacks a bit of domineering air.
But I like it, but Li Xinchen doesn't dare to wear that thing under the hot sun. Black is inherently heat-absorbing, and the clothes are thick. If I walk around, I'm afraid I'll be so hot that I get soaked all over. But before I even walk, Li Xinchen already feels that
The heavy Emperor's Twelve Necklaces were like lead weights weighing on the top of his head.
As for reaching out to support the belt, in his impression, many portraits of emperors in later generations had this posture. It seemed that the belt would be loose and would fall off at any time if it was not carried by hands. This made Li Xingchen somewhat strange.
And after putting on this set of crowned dragon robes that he had actually not worn for a long time, Li Xingchen realized that this belt was really heavy. Although the gold and gems inlaid on it were not a lot, they were full of weight to show that
The status of His Majesty the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, the white jade pendant hangs on one side of the belt and the Longyuan Sword hangs on the other side. These two guys are not very balanced. The sword must be heavier than the jade pendant, so the belt always has to be higher and lower. Li Xingchen can only stretch out his hand.
Just press it to avoid this embarrassing situation.
At this time, the ring robes were ringing, and Lechang, who was dressed in fine clothes, also came over with the support of the maid.
Seeing Li Xinchen's somewhat embarrassed look, Lechang couldn't help but cover his lips and chuckle: "Your Majesty, you should let the chamberlain and maid support you, it is not embarrassing."
With someone supporting him, he could naturally put his hand on Li Xinchen's waist to hold his belt, and at the same time, Li Xinchen could also have a place to borrow strength.
Li Xingchen had no choice but to obey.
Although I feel that it would be a bit embarrassing for an emperor in his prime to do this, but it is better than accidentally falling down.
