Chapter 765: The First Problem of Lingnan Development
It’s so good to fry, it’s so good to fry!
The Japanese navy has been wiped out. It is estimated that the small country and the few people have gathered more than 40 warships to bring together. There is no obstacle to this, and it can fully bomb with force.
At this moment, the entire ocean was filled with fire, but the screams slowly disappeared. The armored warship suddenly accelerated and rushed directly through the battlefield filled with fireworks.
Stay to save people?
If it doesn't exist, it's better if you all die.
From here, we reach the Tokyo Island Kingdom, the distance is only thirty or forty nautical miles at most. The speed of the iron-clad ship is really nothing. After only half an hour, we have seen the coastline.
The Dukes on the ship, together with the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin, all the important figures gathered in the captain's room, staring at Han Yue with excitement on his face and constantly pointing at a large map with his hands.
"Here, here, here, and here, there are thirteen harbors in Japan, of which seven belong to the royal family, and the remaining six are the people's mouths to go out to sea, but both the royal family and the people's ports are very backward!"
Han Yue stopped slowly when he said this. His tone was unprecedentedly fierce, and he shouted: "Jing'er accelerated the ship and used the maximum speed. We will take five days to tour and blow up all these harbors..."
The depressed things in his heart for thousands of years have been completely calmed down today. Although he is fighting against a backward era, Han Yue only feels that his thoughts are clear.
This blowout must be cool.
In the early winter of the 13th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, a warship came from the Tang Dynasty. It took five consecutive days to rush around Japan and shine. Without further ado, it fired a cannon...
All thirteen ports in Japan were devastatingly hit by artillery fire, the royal estuary was scrapped, and the civilian estuary collapsed.
The entire Japan was shivering under the deterrence. The Emperor personally led the people to the coast to ask for prayers. However, when the Japanese royal family led the ministers to arrive, they only saw an extremely powerful iron-clad ship moving far away.
The sea breeze whistled, and countless pieces of paper floated in the sky. The Emperor of Japan was shocked and picked up a piece to watch, only to find a line of blood-red words written on the paper:
"The ocean is my fief..."
The handwriting of the signature is a bit crooked, and it is obvious that he has not practiced the calligraphy very much. However, the Emperor of Japan was full of horror. Looking at the signature, he felt a sense of fear.
It’s just because the signature clearly contains nine words: King Zhao of the Western Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yue, Xuan!
Nine words, thirteen harbors.
The Emperor of Japan suddenly felt his knees weak and he fell to the ground. "How could this be like this? How could this person be eyeing Japan..."
No one could answer. The ministers looked at the ironclad ships away with fear. A sunset gradually set in the sky, and the hideous shadow of the ironclad ships was dragged out from the sea.
...
Fifteen days later, the southern waters of Datang Lingnan.
The ironclad ship slowly sailed into this place, and its speed began to slow down. For more than twenty days of sea navigation and combat, everyone on the ship was already eager to board the land and return. That morning, Li Shimin got up early and led a group of dukes to stand on the bow of the ship.
Because Ren Jing had already issued a notice, she could dock this morning.
Sure enough, land gradually appeared in the distance. As the ironclad ship slowly moved forward, you could slowly see the faint trees in the green mountains.
Li Shimin looked at the coast with a bright look, and suddenly sighed, saying, "The mountains are green and the logs are green. The scenery is really beautiful and charming. I didn't expect Lingnan to look like this. It's said that Lingnan is a place of suffering. I just feel that I'm right now. Hahaha, this place is good and suitable for elderly care..."
Han Yue rolled his eyes quietly beside him and couldn't help but remind him softly: "Father, don't be anxious to sigh, don't say whether to support the elderly or not. We are facing the first problem that must be solved. If we can't handle it, everything will be empty talk."
Li Shimin was a little curious, and couldn't help but turn his head and look over, and smiled: "It's really something that hasn't happened in many years. Yue'er told me what happened to make you like this. Don't deceive me. You rolled your eyes and frowned just now. I guess my feelings just now were really inappropriate. Tell me, what's the problem..."
The Dukes next to them all laughed kindly, and as Li Shimin joked with Han Yue a few words, unfortunately, everyone's jokes lasted for a while and disappeared without a trace, and their faces changed slightly and their eyebrows frowned.
Just because Han Yue said something slowly, the sentence added up to only two words. He said with a serious face: "Eat!"
Have a meal!
The most unavailable topic throughout history!
Li Shimin's pupils shrank significantly, his face was serious and nodded slowly, and he said solemnly: "Eating is indeed a big problem. For thousands of years, countless sages and kings have been doing in their lives. In fact, it is just the word "eating". Eating yourself is not considered eating, but eating people is called full. My son should indeed frown. You have indeed raised a real big problem."
The Dukes next to them also nodded slowly, obviously Li Shimin's words resonated with everyone's hearts.
Han Yue glanced at everyone and exhaled slightly, "It's already difficult to eat in the Central Plains, but the people still have dynasties to protect them. If you know the current situation in Lingnan, you may feel that the word "eating" is even more troublesome..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly pointed to the distant coastline and said softly: "The vast desert of Lingnan is just a corner of the place. The reason why I chose this is because there are still people here. I have a warning to you first. For a long time in the future, we will suffer a lot."
His tone of speech was a bit serious. In recent years, people rarely listened to his tone. Both Li Shimin and all the Dukes were in awe. Old Cheng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Your Highness has been talking for a long time. You should give me a real truth. How poor is this place? It actually makes you, a natural genius, frown?"
Han Yue sighed softly, looked at the approaching land, and whispered: "Lingnan is vast and vast, and can be called a pearl given by God. Unfortunately, no one has developed it for thousands of years, so many places still have a semi-primitive appearance. Let me tell you this, this is the replica before the development of Baishan Black Water, but it is twenty times larger than Baishan Black Water..."
"Twenty times? That's so big?" Everyone was shocked again.
Among them, Changsun Wuji participated in Northeast development from beginning to end, so he had a deeper understanding of the pain of development. This old uncle of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but look at the coastline and subconsciously let out a few fearful sighs.
Li Shimin also stared at the distance with a bright look, suddenly turned his head and looked at Han Yue and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, where is this place in Lingnan? If you can choose this place to open from the vast Lingnan, I believe there must be a unique reason here."
Han Yue's depressed expression finally calmed down a little, and he smiled and nodded, "The father said it well, and there is a reason."
As he said that, he pointed to the coastline that was already very close, and his tone was indescribable, and he said softly: "There are people here and there are small towns that already existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. On the map of my Tang Dynasty, its name is Nanhai."
Nanhai, the Nanhai County established by the Qin Dynasty, has been using this name since then and has never been changed for seven or eight hundred years. This shows how lacking this place has a lack of presence.
The Central Plains Dynasty knew about this place and also classified it on the national territory, but after the allocation, it was left to itself and had never been supervised for hundreds of years.
The South China Sea is actually the famous bustling city in later generations. It has an alias called Yangcheng.
Li Shimin suddenly looked at him and said meaningfully, saying lightly: "If I remember correctly, Feng Ang seems to be in charge of the South China Sea. Although this person joined the dynasty in the fifth year of Wude, he never went to see him from beginning to end. Your grandfather once named him a Duke of Wu for the sake of face..."
As he said that, he pointed at Lao Cheng and others and said lightly: "Like these people, they are all founding dukes and Shangzhu Kingdom. What's different is that Cheng Zhijie and others have been rewarded by you for three generations without relegation, but Feng Gu's Duke of Wu was hereditary. It is said that this person has more than 30 sons, more than 20 daughters, and has so many descendants. It seems that he has married many wives. He is in Lingnan area, so he is probably the style of a local emperor."
Han Yue smiled, with such a deep smile. He looked into the primitive forest on the coastline and chuckled: "I enjoyed my Duke of the Tang Dynasty, but I was doing the business of the local emperor here, neither offering sacrifices nor paying taxes. I owe a lot of debts for so many years."
Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are my son's plans?"
Han Yue also flashed his eyes and said with a deep meaning: "It depends on how he performs!"
“What if it performs well?”
"use!"
“What if it’s not good?”
"beat!"
The conversation between father and son seems simple, but it has a deep communication. Lingnan's strategy has been established between questions and answers.
Not only targeting Feng Gu, but other forces are the same. Those who are obedient will use you and those who are disobedient will beat you up.
Li Jie, who came out from the crowd, bowed and reminded solemnly: "But have your highness ever thought that Feng Gu and others have been operating here for many years. We are not yet determined when we first arrived. Do we have to shout and kill each other when we meet?"
Han Yue looked firm and said in a deep voice: "I said that the first problem in developing Lingnan is the food problem of the people. If you want the people to have a full meal, you have to let the people listen to the hello. If you don't listen to the hello, how to develop people's livelihood and develop various industries. The indigenous forces in Lingnan are just the way to stop the people from listening to the hello..."
This passage is a bit difficult to say, and at first glance it sounds like a tongue twister.
But Li Jie still understood, but the British Duke still insisted on his previous ban and reminded again: "Your Highness should still think more, after all, he is a local snake."
Han Yue laughed, suddenly pointed his hand into the distance, and said with a deep meaning: "Duke British, look at what is there on that coast?"
Li Jie turned his head in shock and then looked happy.
