1619 The Maritime Silk Road of the Ming Dynasty
Gao Tianlu is from Hebei. He was once a soldier. Later, he transferred to the job and became a peasant instructor and devoted himself to the work of farmers.
Later, he shined in the land reform work, made many contributions in the land reform actions in Shanxi and Guanzhong, and gradually accumulated merits and was promoted to county magistrate and prefect, and finally became the provincial chief official.
In terms of land reform, Gao Tianlu is an absolute expert, and his work techniques are not rude.
Compared with the very common rough work techniques of shouting and killing back then, his work techniques are softer and more rational, and do not aim at killing as his ultimate goal.
He believed that revolution was not a riot, nor was it a bandit leader, a counterfeit king or something. Although he had to be enthusiastic, he could not lose his mind. He should convince people with reason and establish a new set of rules, rather than leaving behind a mess after simple destruction.
So his work performance is very good and the losses caused are very small.
Because of his rationality and calmness, he was valued by Su Yonglin. After serving in Hebei, he was transferred to Annan Central to govern the overall situation and build a base for the Ming Dynasty's national power to radiate to Southeast Asia.
His work in Annan has achieved great results. He has initially built the Ming National Grain Reserve Base on the Honghe Plain and built a large number of collective farms.
These agricultural achievements greatly increased the annual grain reserves of the Ming Dynasty, so Gaotianlu's political achievements were very conspicuous.
This time, he led his team to support Chameng's post-war construction, which demonstrated the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on Chameng's country.
The series of work methods and precautions he proposed were unheard of by the new senior leaders of the Democratic Republic of Chameng.
Because he noticed the difficulty of governing the country and the lack of talent in governing the country, Cha Quan decided to form a government affairs group led by Fan Wenba and Lin Qian to follow Gaotianlu to study around the clock.
After the Chameng Kingdom was completed, Chaquan wanted to organize some cadres within the Revival Association to follow Gao Tianlu to learn the knowledge of governing the country. Now everyone can fight, but there is really a lack of solutions for governing the country.
Gao Tianlu was very happy about these little brothers' desire for knowledge. He did not hide his own private interests and taught them some of the experiences he had summarized over the years to these little brothers without reservation, hoping that they could establish a new democratic republic on this land.
This was not only what Su Yonglin told him, but he himself also wanted to see the establishment and prosperity of the Democratic Republic of Chameng, because it would prove the feasibility of Su Yonglin's world revolution theory.
Previously, there were some doubts within the Revival Society regarding the world revolution theory proposed by Su Yonglin. They felt that this was of little significance to the Ming Dynasty and could not guarantee that the theory that could survive in the Ming Dynasty could survive abroad.
However, Su Yonglin insisted on it and deployed the Revival Association organization in Dali, Chameng, Goryeo and other places in advance.
In Dali and Goryeo, the achievements of the Revival Society were limited. Because they failed to raise enough armed forces in time, the establishment date was still short and the Ming Dynasty took action, so they failed to reflect the feasibility of the world revolution theory and did not help much in the results of this theory.
But Champa is different.
The Ming Dynasty did not plan the activities of the Chameng Revival Society branch, nor did it give them an order to take place when to launch revolutionary actions. The Chameng Revival Society's actions have autonomy.
Moreover, they were an organization that was united in politics and military from the very beginning. They had mastered the armed forces from the very beginning and developed very easily, which was an advantage that the Revival Society organizations of several other countries did not have.
Because of this advantage, the revolutionary action of the Chameng Revival Society was relied on and carried out very decisively. Although tea is insufficient, it has a big heart that ordinary people do not have in determining problems.
Originally, Gao Tianlu thought that without the help of the Ming army, Cha Quan could only defend the city and wait for the Ming army to come to support to defeat Zou Yana's powerful army, but unexpectedly, they defeated Zou Yana with a small amount of troops, and made a name for themselves in the battle.
So much so that the Ming government and the Ming army both looked at this young team with admiration and thought they were promising.
Su Yonglin was very happy after learning the news. He instructed the Annan Central Central Government to do its best to help Chameng Revival to gain a foothold, establish a democratic republic, and guide them to establish a country so that they can avoid detours.
Once the Democratic Republic of Chameng gains a foothold and establishes its rule across the country, it will become the most direct result of Su Yonglin's world revolutionary theory.
Their success will directly reverse the current situation where the Ming Dynasty's revival would lack interest in the world revolution, making this theory no longer a theory, but a reality.
After the Chameng Revolution was successful, Su Yonglin would use resources to promote revolution in more countries, and the internal opposition forces would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Su Yonglin's expectations for the Democratic Republic of Chameng were very high.
Now it seems that these young, promising and vibrant Chameng Revival members are indeed very organized and combat-oriented. As long as they can further enhance their professionalism and master the ability to govern the country, the development of the Chameng Democratic Republic will be obvious.
If the revolution in Champa is successful, Gao Tianlu feels that it will be a great encouragement for the Ming Dynasty, then the next action against the Bagan Kingdom, the Zhenla Kingdom and the Sanfoqi Kingdom should not be a paper plan.
In the current Southeast Asia, in addition to the Annan land conquered by the Ming Kingdom and the Dali Kingdom that was destroyed, there are mainly three larger and unified countries, namely the Bagan Kingdom, the Zhenla Kingdom and the Sanfoqi Kingdom, as well as some of its semi-independent small countries and tribes.
These three countries have a strong sense of existence in the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. Su Yonglin strongly advocated the Ming version of Guangzhou Tonghaiyi Road, namely the Maritime Silk Road, was mainly built through the influence areas of these three countries.
Once the Maritime Silk Road is opened, it can directly lead to the Middle East and then connect Africa and Europe.
As for the current perspective, during the fifth and sixth years of Hongwu, Su Yonglin began to arrange manpower and material resources to travel to the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, trying to open up the Maritime Silk Road, and find transit stations on the road suitable for the Ming Dynasty in various places along the way to enhance the national influence of the Ming Dynasty.
And today, eight years later, this plan has indeed made great progress.
Over the past few years, until the ninth year of Hongwu, this plan was still under exploration and drawing stage.
Starting from the tenth year of Hongwu, the Ming National Navigation Corporation, which belongs to the World Liaison Department of the Revival Society, finally gave a detailed action report and began to take action.
According to this detailed maritime report, the Maritime Silk Road was mainly based on Quanzhou and Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, and then passed through Annan and began to move overseas.
The main route is to first arrive at Chameng, followed by Sanfoqi, Bagan, Xina, Shilan, Zhunian, Nanbi, and Nanbi, and then arrive at the final destination of Besri.
Su Yonglin had a considerable number of the names of these ancient countries that Su Yonglin didn't understand at the beginning, but after comparing the map in his hand, he roughly knew the "identities" of these ancient countries.
For example, the country of Xina is located in Bangladesh and is an ancient local country.
The State of Shilan refers to Sri Lanka.
The Zhunian Kingdom controls the southern coastal areas of India in southern and southeastern India.
The South Via Kingdom is located on the west coast of India.
Therefore, Linguo is located in the coastal areas of northwestern India.
The Guer Kingdom was naturally the Guer Dynasty that was beaten up by the Ming Dynasty and then obeyed. Their southern territory was also bordered by the Indian Ocean.
Majiaguo seems to be a port city or country in the Arabian Peninsula near the Red Sea coast.
The last destination, Besri, is in the Egyptian region.
