Chapter 557 South and North!
The battle to pacify Jiangnan has begun for nearly a month, and the news of the war has naturally spread to the capital.
The remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty in northern Xinjiang were in chaos, and the news of Mongolia going south was also widely spread in this capital.
If in the past, such a war would have caused panic, and even a large-scale escape of the people and gentry was normal.
This time, in this capital, and even in the major border towns facing the grassland soldiers, they all seemed extremely peaceful and were not affected too much by this war.
After all, in the past Ming Dynasty, and now, except for the three years of Zhaowu, there have been a battle every year, whether it is external, internal, difficult to fight or easy!
The final result is the same, that is, victory after victory, a brilliant triumph!
The glorious victory after a series of forging the faith of Daheng’s soldiers to be invincible, and naturally, it made the people of Daheng, especially those in the north who were previously deeply affected by border troubles, feel honored.
If you are so proud, you will naturally be confident in the military power of Daheng.
No one would think that this Daheng, who seemed to be at its peak, would lose!
Lin Danhan, who fought repeatedly, was even more mocked. The opera troupe and storyteller were ridiculed happily.
In addition to the fact that the internal court's business has coordinated and balanced market prices, the war has so far not had much impact except for the people on the streets and alleys.
Compared to the indifference of the people, in the court, the reaction to this war was obviously much greater.
In the Qianqing Palace, the military officers of the General Staff Department were busy, summarizing the military situation in various places and arguing endlessly.
Before the military information map, the ministers and ministers of various departments stood, and beside them were the military honors of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and several first-class military staff officers of the General Staff.
The debate between civil and military officials over this military public image was red and red, and the intensity was not inferior to the debate in the pseudo-Ming Dynasty.
The emperor sat in the side hall, but he was savoring the tea slowly. As for the arguments between civil and military officials, he seemed to have not heard at all.
The root cause of the problem between civil and military affairs is very simple.
The war between Jiangnan and northern borders was unscrupulous, and he wished he could blossom from all directions and fight to the earth.
The civil servants who had just come into contact with the Daheng military affairs were very cautious, fearing that there would be any mistakes or problems.
With such a debate, the emperor naturally had no intention of participating in it, and even was happy to see it happen.
Today, Daheng's generals, in the victory after a series of great victory, seem to be arrogant. At this time, it is obviously a good thing to be able to pour cold water on the rudder.
Otherwise, the emperor would have no doubts. If he really had a fight, he would probably not attack the south and defend the north.
That is, the two sides bloom and the war begins in full swing.
Thoughts flashed, the emperor put down the teacup, turned the chair, and looked at the Daheng map in the side hall.
The foundation of the Southern Ming Dynasty was never the weak Nanming Guards, but the navy.
The existence of the navy gave the Nanming the confidence to attack and retreat and defend, but when the Nanming Navy could not be curbed, it would undoubtedly be difficult to capture Nanming in one fell swoop.
It is obvious that the recapture of Penghu and the annihilation of the Penghu Navy in the Southern Ming Dynasty will have no suspense in this pacifying war.
The pseudo-Ming Fujian Navy was squeezed on the coast and lost the most important maneuver power of the navy.
All that remains is the horizontal push on the land. The ending is already destined. The only unknown is to pacify the Battle of Jiangnan and when will it end?
And, the rule of Jiangnan was destined to be difficult.
Looking at the land in Jiangnan, the emperor's eyes subconsciously looked at the ocean on the map.
Penghu...Taiwan...Luzon...Chancheng...Sumatra...More Thorns...
It is no different from Southeast Asia in later generations, but without exception, there are traces of Western barbarians.
There is no doubt that before humans fully set foot in the starry sky, the ocean is the future of mankind.
Whether it is the humiliation of later generations or the grand career of today, Daheng obviously has a certain demand for these places.
The focus of the future Daheng will inevitably be on the ocean!
Only in this way can Daheng never be self-confidence!
Only in this way can we have enough wealth to support the people of Daheng!
There are undoubtedly two worlds different things about the wealth of a country, raising the people of a country, and swallowing the wealth of the world, raising the people of a country!
He wants to make this sea area the inland sea of Daheng!
Who has recorded history for the past five thousand years? The glory of civilization will always be in this land of China. In the future, the Han people will lead the direction of the world.
Thoughts flowed, and the emperor's eyes were frozen on the city of Nanjing.
If we follow his strategic layout in his mind, Beijing, the capital, obviously cannot support such a strategic layout.
Stepping into the ocean and swallowing the world's wealth means that Jiangnan's commerce and trade will develop rapidly with the times.
If the court is still in the north, the phenomenon that the late Ming Dynasty would be unable to control Jiangnan and the local wealth would be difficult for the court to use it will inevitably appear again!
Moreover, commercial maritime trade is developing rapidly. If the court cannot contact and understand it in time, it will inevitably lead to backwardness in commercial maritime trade policies, resulting in various institutional loopholes and accumulating huge problems!
Furthermore, the importance of maritime trade lies in the navy and the ocean navy. The imperial court has been in the north for a long time, and its control over the navy will undoubtedly be greatly reduced!
Not to mention Taiwan and Luzon, these are quite far away from the Yangtze River and the seas, not to mention Beijing, which is still in the northern capital. After half a year, there is no effective rule at all!
Nanjing is undoubtedly an excellent choice. Its connecting rivers and seas and radiating to the north and south is undoubtedly of great benefit to Daheng’s strategic layout of the ocean. It can also support Daheng’s exploration of the ocean!
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything.
Moving the capital to the south will inevitably lead to weak control of northern border towns and will inevitably make the north unable to develop. At the same time, it will inevitably be impossible to maintain such extreme disaster relief. Of course, there are the most important grassland border troubles!
It will also cause the court to fall into prosperity, thus losing its fighting spirit, being stable and stable, and having weak combat power...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Various disadvantages will inevitably appear.
The emperor's eyes flowed between Tibet and grasslands, and then they were frozen between the north and south rivers and roads.
If it is a problem, then there is a solution. If there is a cement road connecting the two capitals of the north and the south, even if the means of transportation have not changed at all, the traffic speed on the land can be increased by at least ten times!
For example, repairing rivers and strengthening maritime trade, and using rivers and seas can also strengthen the connection between the north and the south.
For example, if the grassland border is affected, a thorough pieting hole sweep will be enough to severely damage Mongolia and achieve peace for more than ten years. When the technology development is developed, the real generation gap of guns will appear. If you pieting hole sweep holes a few times, suppress it with iron and fire, and win over trade, Mongolia will naturally complete the transformation from being unruly to singing and dancing.
The only thing that needs concern is the control of Tibet, but as long as the court has the determination, it can also be evolved with time. Moreover, to completely solve the grassland problems, Tibet must be pacified.
Otherwise, the troubles of the grassland will never be eliminated.
As long as new learning flourishes, science and technology prospers, and industry and commerce are developed, all problems can be solved slowly.
However, these problems in the north must be solved before moving the capital, otherwise, when the politics, military and economic centers are all in Jiangnan, it will not be so easy to solve the problems in the north at that time.
"Ten years...twenty years?"
The emperor muttered to himself, but his heart became more and more urgent.
He is no longer young, and he is at his prime, although he is in his prime, but his average life span in this era is only about fifty years old.
Even though he is successful in martial arts and has strong qi and blood, who can guarantee that he can live a long life!
But what he wants to do, the great cause he wants to create, has just begun.
And only he can accomplish these things!
No matter how wise the king of later generations is, he can only repair it in the framework he sets!
If he doesn't do too many things, no one will ever do them before he suffers a big loss!
