Chapter 1401 King of Zhenbei
Under Mount Tai, by the Wenshui River, Bocheng.
The rain finally ended for several days, the blue sky was as clear as the sky, and golden light fell.
The Fengshen man wore a black soft-legged head, a leather strap on his waist, a horizontal knife tied around his waist, and black leather boots under his feet, tall and handsome. He was just thirty years old and looked at the mountains in front of him and smiled slightly.
The young man in brocade clothes beside him was python robe and jade belt, and I don’t know what my brothers laughed at.
"The people say that Fifth Brother, you are far away from Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and now you are on Mount Tai and Fengshan, and you deserve it."
The emperor who traveled east from Luoyang to the foot of Mount Tai just shook his head slightly. He curled his smile. Luo Cheng, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, who had just celebrated his 30th birthday, did not expand.
He knew that he had been in power for less than ten years, so he could not be said to be far superior to Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
"Xiao Liu, I just think this time I went out for a walk and saw many folk scenes that I couldn't see in the capital in the past. I was very happy to see that everyone was living a good life."
Xiaoliu Bohai King Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Fifth brother is the emperor of the Kaiyuan Shenwu Sheng Wentian of the Qin Dynasty. Although you are just over thirty years old, you started your business from scratch. Not only did you end the chaos in the Central Plains, but you also fought eastward and westward, defeated the Turkic in the north and destroyed Goguryeo Baekje in the east, destroyed Tuguhun Dangxiang and Gaochang, Yanqi, and the Western Turkic. Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty has never been as strong as ever. Even if there are emperors posthumously named Wu, who can compare with the martial arts of the fifth brother?"
Kaiyuan Shenwu Saint Wentian Emperor, the emperor's title has been added two more words than a few years ago, and it has become longer and longer. All officials asked to report that the emperor should add the title of honor to pacify the world and gain power. The emperor did not agree, but the emperor still extended the title of emperor again.
At the age of thirty, he was not the crown prince and crown prince. He started from a short time, but he could endure the riots and pacify the world. He could conquer all the surrounding countries in such a short time and make the people of the Central Plains live a good life. This is the sincere praise of all the people today to the emperor.
The Qin Emperor unified the world, but the world suffered from Qin. When the Han and Wu defeated the Huns, the population was reduced by half, and the people were living in poverty.
The Sui Dynasty unified the Central Plains, but the war against the Turks, Goguryeo and others was repeatedly used to fight but could not conquer them, and the people were struggling to fight.
"Xiao Liu, what's the situation in Haidong now?"
The emperor pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and looked at the distant mountains. In the early winter, it was not so cold after the sunlight.
Luo Shixin, the king of Bohai, is only twenty-six years old this year. He is tall and mighty, and he can no longer see the short and thin appearance he was back then. After Luo Shixin was granted the title of Haidong in recent years, he began to lead an adventure merchant fleet and began to sail in Haidong. He established many trade points along the east coast of Haidong and established friendly relations with many local indigenous people.
Even along Heishui River (Heilongjiang), Wuzi River (Usuli River), Songhua River (Nan River), Sumo River (Xihua River), Beiqinhai (Xingkai Lake) and other rivers, they have established many trade points.
It can be said that although Luo Shixin's fief is from Xingkai Lake to Vladivostok, the source of the Ussuri River, Luo Shixin has the greatest influence in Haidong now.
He had the most powerful and brave Vladivostok fleet, and also had brave warriors from the tribes of the Marine tribes. Among the emperor's brothers, Luo Cheng was particularly favored by this youngest brother. Cunxiao, Siye and others were either in Anxi Yili or in Lijiang, Yunnan, and they were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without an imperial edict, but Luo Shixin received a special order to lead his fleet, warriors, and sail freely on the North Sea, and even sailed several times to the Eastern Wilderness Continent (Alaska) and the Beimang Continent (Siberia).
Shixin was the pioneer of the imperial court in the Northern Wilderness. Although the imperial court has set up a new North Sea Fleet, which is specifically responsible for the routes on the coast north of the Korean Peninsula, in the north, Shixin's power is still dominated by Shixin's power.
There are even some rumors now that Luo Shixin, the King of Bohai, is actually the king of the north to the Baishan Mountain and the king of frost. The tribes of the Marine Mountain and the Black Water in Baishan, and the barbarian countries further north, only know Luo Shixin, the King of Bohai, but not the Emperor of Qin in the Central Plains.
However, although the emperor knew about these rumors, he still had no change in his trust in his brothers.
"Fifth brother, in recent years, outside the Northeast Pass, the nine counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong and Liaobei have been established in the nine counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong and Liaobei, Suishan, Ning'an, Suihua, Dongning, Fuyuan, Liaoxi, Liaodong and Liaobei, which are the chief counties of the imperial court, and are under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Road. The other six counties have been established in recent years. The number of immigrants in our Han Dynasty is mainly based on the throne, and they are also enfeoffed by the princes of the court to establish a country."
Although the imperial court actively explored the vast area of the Marine tribes north of Andong, Liaoning, it was too far away. Now the imperial court mainly focused on stabilizing Liaoning and Andong, and immigrants tried to send them to these two places as much as possible. The places further north are now mainly feudal princes, followed by local Marine leaders and nobles who were granted titles, and then merchant trade points and some criminal exile sites.
Along the rivers or coastal areas, many fiefs of princes and trade markets have been established one after another. These castles and trade points are not large, but they are gradually taking shape.
There are also more and more Han people coming over, including merchants who purchase goods, merchants who go to sell merchants, fur hunters who go to hunt, herb collectors who pick ginseng medicinal materials, etc. Of course, there are also merchants who sell slaves.
Luo Shixin has made a lot of money in the trade of fur and medicinal materials in recent years. Therefore, although he was enfeoffed in the wild northern land, he quickly built three castles with the advantage of relying on the sea, along the river and lake, including Vladivostok City by the sea, Shuangcheng City by the Suifen River, and Beiqin City by the Beiqin Sea.
Vladivostok is a non-freeze port, so many of the ships traded in the north are now replenishing supplies and wintering, so they are developing very fast. Now there are thousands of people in the city all year round. Shixin also recruited thousands of people from the Marine tribes to the nearby cities.
Shuangchengzi and Beiqincheng also have more than 1,000 people each, and can be said to be the largest strongholds of the Qin Dynasty in the north.
Because of the rapid development of Vladivostok, the imperial court established Dongning County here and made it the seat of Dongning County. After the establishment of the Beihai Fleet, Vladivostok Port was also used as its home port.
The court has begun to invest heavily in Vladivostok. Luo Cheng has planned to send an additional regiment of 2,000 troops to Vladivostok to defend this military port and protect the pioneering base camp.
The Royal Escort Province also plans to build a new shipyard, a ship material processing plant, etc. Once these are in place, only two thousand new troops will be added, plus their families, and more than 10,000 people will be added. After the shipyard and ship material factory are established, there will inevitably be logging factories and other supporting ship sailing, cable and nailing anchor factories. The workers and their families will undoubtedly take another big step immediately.
Luo Cheng's strategy for the Northeast was very obvious, which was to go to sea first, then along the coast, then go deeper along the rivers, connect one by one to chain, and finally complete control of the entire Northeast region. For the natives here, they were first detained and enfeoffed, and then traded. Finally, when the number of immigrants in Han Dynasty increased and the number of fortresses increased, the army could gradually increase its dispatch, and eventually annexed the entire area and achieve land transformation.
Now Vladivostok's ability is really barely enough to support two thousand soldiers, but with the support from the sea, it can still be maintained. As long as you persist now, the situation will be opened.
