Li Xingchen approved the memorials of Yu Wenxin and Pei Zilie.
Whether it is the former or the latter, Li Xingchen emphasized that he should first use trade as a reason to find out the details of the other party, and try his best to place his own people in the other party's important towns and other places. It is best to understand the other party's social contradictions and so on, and take advantage of the situation.
This is an opportunity to develop a group of people who have a good impression of the big man, and when needed, they can cooperate internally and externally.
The end of the Northern Expedition does not mean that Baipao has nothing to do.
There is much more work like this to investigate the enemy's situation and even directly penetrate into the enemy's interior.
In fact, the previous Northern Expedition was just a training exercise for Baipao.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties have been fighting for so many years. If you really know everything, there is no problem. There are even many families between the two dynasties who are in conflict with each other, so there are not a lot of secrets between them.
The main task of the white robe is actually not to collect intelligence, but to create trouble for the Northern Zhou Dynasty behind the scenes, or to stir up chaos in the city when the Han army arrives.
Although these things did effectively attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty's management in various places, no matter how you look at Baipao's actions, it seems that he used the most elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty to do some internal things.
In fact, in Li Xingchen's original idea and in the White Pao's purpose and plan, it was clearly emphasized that collecting information, instigating enemies, and even directly subverting the regime were the White Pao's main tasks.
It's just that between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, most of the news did not require the white robe to come forward. Everyone exchanged information privately. The Han Dynasty even directly founded newspapers and periodicals, so that if Yu Wenxian wanted to know what happened to the Han Dynasty, he only had to read the newspapers.
You know, from the latest national policies to trivial lawsuits between neighbors, everything about the big man is so innocently displayed for everyone to see, without any taboos.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty did not mind if outsiders learned these things, nor did he worry that others would discover his weaknesses. He was confident enough to hold the dynasty in his hands and let it stand proudly in the East.
Yu Wenxian once doubted this, but it was easier said than done. When he wanted to imitate the Han system to implement reforms in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he discovered that there was pressure from the old nobles and aristocratic families, and from the conflicts between Xianbei and the Han people.
Contradictions and so on make Yu Wenxian's confidence look so ridiculous.
Until the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, what Yu Wenxian accomplished was actually just the integration of domestic industry and commerce in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The former, he just tried to keep it in the hands of the Yuwen family to ensure the smooth development of science and technology. The latter,
It seems that the aristocratic families of the Northern Zhou Dynasty cooperated with the royal family to conduct business in an orderly manner. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a big man behind this.
The Han Dynasty was sucking blood from the Northern Zhou Dynasty in this way, and the trade network that had been established would be of great benefit to the Han Dynasty in the future to quickly take over the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and spread its own policies.
Therefore, in Li Xingchen's view, Yu Wenxian is like the Qing Dynasty in later generations. It guarded a dynasty with extremely sharp ethnic conflicts and social class conflicts. It wanted to do something, but had no choice but to start with the development of industry.
, that is, the "Westernization Movement", but little did they know that the aging of the system and ideas meant that no matter how much time was given to this dynasty, it would never be able to stand on the same level as the Han Dynasty.
Of course, not everyone can see this clearly.
For example, Zhang Xutuo, who was sitting downstairs at the moment, was sorting out the military report, and Yan Bi and others who were responding to the report in turn according to Li Xingchen's instructions. In their opinion, His Majesty's methods were better than Yu Wenxian's, so Yu Wenxian became
The defeat of His Majesty's men is not a disaster.
If he could defeat His Majesty, that would be great.
Li Xingchen's eyes had already passed through the window and looked outside.
After the chasm was reopened, this was Li Xinchen’s first experience.
He once attended the opening ceremony of the canal, but at that time the battle to cross the river was in full swing, so Li Xingchen came in a hurry and then headed north again.
Now he finally has the opportunity to return to the south of the Yangtze River along this new north-south artery of the Han Dynasty.
The Honggou Canal was opened for the Northern Expedition, connecting the two major river systems of Dajiang and Dahe. The Dajiang and the Pearl River water system in the south were originally connected through the Ling Canal. Therefore, it can be said that from the south of the Dahe, China has become a
A whole.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Li Xingchen also found this sentence very interesting if understood purely in a literal sense.
Rivers may be an obstacle to communication between two continents, but they are the best medium for communication between east and west, south and north, and between various regions.
Therefore, as long as we do not regard nature as a savage beast, but strive to integrate into nature and utilize nature, then a civilization can naturally develop and progress and coexist with nature.
He ignored the busy secretaries and walked straight out of the cabin.
Several civil servants on the deck were talking about something. When they saw Li Xinchen, they hurriedly saluted.
Among them were Chen Shushen, the Minister of Hubu, and Shen Jungao, the Minister of Punishments.
Li Xingchen first leaned on the railing and looked out. On the canal, ships of all sizes were retracted in the piers and harbor branches on both sides to make way for the dragon boat. Even though most of the sails were furled, what he saw was still
There are endless masts and masts. Normally, it is almost unimaginable what the scene would be like.
This canal has been praised as the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty since its birth, and it is no empty talk!
The scenery on both sides of the canal is even more intoxicating.
The vast wilderness looks barren in winter, but you can imagine how lush it will be in the coming spring.
The towns and villages that appeared from time to time on both sides of the strait were each larger than the last. Many people were eagerly watching the fleet of dragon boats passing by the river. When the dragon boats passed by, people one after another fell to the ground.
Expressing their highest respect for the Han Emperor and the man who brought all this.
Originally, Li Xingchen felt a little ashamed and asked the officials if this was a bit exaggerated. This kind of matter involving etiquette and law should be the work of the Ministry of Rites, but Li Xingchen finally decided to listen to the opinions of the officials.
After all, Mr. Jiang... is simply His Majesty's special tool who has no sympathy for anyone. I'm afraid that as soon as Li Xingchen asked if something was wrong, this guy would just disperse the people.
In fact, Li Xingchen just felt that wherever he went, people would kneel down and worship him, which was unnecessary.
But in the end, Shen Jungao, the Minister of Justice, who was standing next to His Majesty, said: "The common people kneel down to receive the Holy Emperor, which is the admiration from the bottom of their hearts, and it is also in line with the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. Your Majesty's meritorious service is high, and the whole world knows it, so he deserves it."
All the people of the world bow to you."
Naturally, Li Xingchen couldn't say anything else, otherwise it would be too pretentious.
At this time, he silently looked at the bustling markets, the dark crowds, and the endlessly flowing canals.
Perhaps this is the feeling of He Qing Haiyan and peace in the world.
