Chapter 522

Tragedy, the title of the chapter is wrong and can not be changed. It should be "thought is the expansion restriction".

... split... Cut... Line

The pace of external exploration in the Central Plains has been carried out in various ways, but it has never stopped. It will stop the pace of outward development. In fact, it is still a factor of geographical constraints.

For example, the unified Qin Empire was formed again after the Zhou Dynasty. The northern expedition reached the foot of Yinshan Mountain and the southern expedition faced the primitive jungle. The Han Empire overcame the difficulties encountered by the Qin Empire, but the pace of expansion was blocked by the plateau and desert in the west, the boundless grassland in the north, the sea in the South and ice and snow in the East. Therefore, many times, the Central Plains Dynasty did not encounter too strong enemies, but really did not know how to continue outward.

Liu Yan knows that he will certainly encounter the difficulties encountered by his predecessors in the future, and has long been thinking about solutions.

Later generations have proved that it is difficult to expand by land, and it will be relatively easy to expand after mastering sea power.

If the middle earth empire wanted to expand westward, it would be blocked by deserts or swamps beyond the western regions. Therefore, if it expanded simply by land, it would be a great trouble to face deserts and swamps, not to mention the transportation of logistics.

At present, Liu Yan has begun to send a fleet to explore the rising sea (South China Sea) and found what the Yu family call Funan and Lin Yiguo.

Funan state, also known as Funan state and Banan state, means "mountains". It is an ancient kingdom name that once existed on the Indochina Peninsula. Its jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to the whole territory of modern Cambodia, southern Laos, southern Vietnam and southeastern Thailand. It is the first Southeast Asian country in history to appear in the ancient historical records of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is also a Southeast Asian country that often appears in the ancient historical records.

Lin Yiguo is an ancient country located in the east of Indochina Peninsula. It is also a Linyi country. It is located in Shunhua, south of the present Vietnam. This place was originally the base of Cham. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was established as Xianglin County, rinan county. It was called Xianglin City, omitting the elephant, so it was called Linyi. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was known as Qu Lianzhe, who killed the county magistrate and called himself the king of Linyi.

Among the two countries, Funan is large and Linyi is small. Linyi has a land border with the Central Plains Dynasty.

According to some information, the living customs of the Han family are still left in Lin Yi's country. The ruling class speaks Chinese in Chinese characters, while at the bottom are a group of people with slightly dark skin and implement slavery.

The so-called slightly dark skin is the Kunlun Slaves often mentioned by the Central Plains Dynasty. They are probably low caste people in modern India. This race was short and generally thin. During a certain period, it was sold to the Central Plains Dynasty by slave traders and became a tool for dignitaries to show off. A small number of blacks transported from Africa to the Central Plains Dynasty are also called Kunlun Slaves, but blacks from Africa are much taller and stronger than those from Nanyang.

"Although Linyi is also the old land of the Han family, it is the land that I will take back. But......" Liu Yan continued after eating the meat kebab and swallowing it: "the Yu family is the first family to take the initiative to open up abroad. I don't mind letting them become the first family to get great benefits."

Yu Yi of the Yu family has become a Tingwei of the Han state. The family began to prepare for migration before the surrender of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At present, some people have gone to Penglai County, Dongmou County, Qingzhou.

Penglai county is one of the major fleet bases in the Han Dynasty. At first, it was used as a connecting island. Later, it became the main port of Qingzhou and Liaodong. Waiting for other ports to be developed, it decreased its strategic position and gradually evolved into the largest civil port.

In the Han Dynasty under Liu Yan's rule, system warships were the main combat power, but they did not completely give up the research and development of ships. Most of the main research and construction bases were close to Eastern Liaoning.

The shipbuilding base will be close to Liaodong, which is far richer in wood resources than other places in the Central Plains. Wars have been fought in all parts of the Central Plains. In peacetime, emperors built palaces. However, the thicker trees were basically either destroyed or cut down. Liaodong was still an area rich in wood resources until more than 2000 A.D. now we can find wood suitable for use everywhere without going too deep,

The Yu family got the performance contract from the state of Han, and the ships that arrived in advance have been used for training. What makes the Yu family feel depressed is that the ships they get are not the capital ships they imagined.

The main ships of the Han Dynasty are all system products, and the civilian built ships are only in the preliminary stage. Compared with the warships produced by the system, they will appear relatively small, and the force is definitely better than the warships produced by the system. It should be noted that there is absolutely no building ship for HNA.

The core ministers of the Han Dynasty all knew Liu Yan's importance to the sea. In fact, they did not fully understand why Liu Yan attached importance to the sea, but simply thought that they wanted to maintain the smooth flow of the Central Plains and Eastern Liaoning.

"The king had thought about this for a long time..." Ji Chang said to explore Malacca. After recovering the old land of the Han family, he continued to expand westward by sea and land. He thought for a moment and asked, "if there are other families willing to open up, is it like Yu?"

The Yu family wanted to invade Linyi and would not establish a state after the elimination of Linyi. It was again granted by Liu Yan, making Yu a vassal guarding Linyi, the territory of the Han family. Their vassal obeyed the state of Han both in name and in fact. Some differences were that Yu Yi was in charge of the local area. That is to say, although the local officials of Linyi still took the central appointment route, they followed a process. At the same time, Yu also had local private troops.

Ji Chang was incomparably opposed to Liu Yan agreeing to the request of the Yu family. After several persuasions, Liu Yan insisted on performing the contract. Although he still firmly opposed it, he endured it.

Of course, Liu Yan knew that this model of the Yu family was a hidden danger. There could also be private troops in local governance. What was appropriate was a local strong vassal like the Shang Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty. He would agree that it is only for one reason to leave room for some people's ambitions. It is to go out to attack barbarians, not to do things in the Central Plains Dynasty.

As a person who has passed through later generations, Liu Yan knows how the sun never sets empire was formed. Does it not allow domestic nobles to invade abroad on their own? After the nobles occupy the land, they report to the royal family. The occupied land belongs to the state on the territory. In fact, nobles can build troops and govern themselves in the occupied territory?

What Liu Yan firmly believes is that if the central government is strong, there is no need to worry about local retaliation. The expansion in the form of the state alone can not meet the expansion speed, and the development must be carried out simultaneously between the state and the people. He also firmly believed that as long as the Yu family tasted the benefits, there would be no fewer attracted individuals or families. At that time, as long as he repeatedly acknowledged the development of individuals or families, not to mention the repeated expansion of the territory of the Han country, the Miao descendants of the Han family would also multiply outward.

"What's the matter? If yu's family is honest, it's best. If there's anything wrong, just destroy it directly." Xu Zheng really said carelessly: "Whoever doesn't even need to go out to develop has any crooked brains. The center will find a reason to destroy it and return the land management right to the state."

For a moment, Liu Yan was stunned.

"There should be a time limit to restrict a set of effective laws, such as how many generations later they will be nationalized, or violate any law to deprive them of governance." Ji Chang said with complete approval, narrowed his eyes and continued: "there is no problem for them to want money and money, and it is not impossible to govern places. Develop force... Ha ha!"

Come on, this is the Middle Earth thought of centralization, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It says that "I am the country". Every trace of power should belong to the emperor. It is a sin for ministers to develop their own force.

Liu Yan also fell into meditation. Great unification and centralization of power have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Some things don't seem so simple.

In fact, Yu Yi only said to invade Linyi with family power. He talked about some discussions on local governance, but he didn't mention the matter of guarding with family private army. Those are some psychological preparations made by Liu Yan.

"Your Majesty..." Xun Xian suddenly appeared. When he came, he saluted first, and then said, "Captain Ting, please see me."

Liu Yan had no reaction. Ji Chang and Xu Zheng looked at each other and smiled.

Yu Yi was led by someone behind him. He saw Ji Chang and Xu Zheng on the field. The three kings and ministers sat around the grill and barbecued by themselves. After being stunned, he was shocked by the friendship between Ji Chang and Xu Zheng and the king.

"Add a seat to Yu Qing." When Liu Yan finished, he called Yu Yi close to him and asked, "why hasn't Yu Qing changed his imperial clothes?"

After dispersing the dynasty, Yu Yi immediately set foot on the road of returning home, walked to the door but turned back. Naturally, he had not changed his imperial clothes. He has been thinking about the future of his family recently, especially after he became a Tingwei of the Han state.

The Yu family wanted to move out and invade Linyi. The background was that they were pushed out by the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At the same time, they hesitated to take the Ju family to the state of Han and didn't want to bear the reputation of being a traitor.

Now, because of the disturbance of the Huan family, no matter how much strength the Yu family made in the battle of Jiankang, the rebellious thief and the rebellious Minister Yu family are actually determined.

After many things have become established facts, Yu Yi has been thinking for a long time, and even regrets that he once said that he wanted the family to move out. If he couldn't talk back, he really didn't want to do it.

"The minister came to see the king for the family's invasion of the forest city." Yu Yi had already saluted the king and his colleagues one after another. Before taking his seat, he was polite and considerate. He waited for him to kneel down completely and continued: "I thought some things... Had to be agreed by the king."

Liu Yan and other three people were just talking about this. What they didn't expect was that Yu Yi would come back.

Xu Zheng still casually barbecued, and even asked the maid to get more Beef Kebabs, as if all his attention was on delicious food.

Jichang was holding a wine pot to drink grape wine. After a pause, he seemed to inadvertently look at Yu Yi. He saw Yu Yi's firm expression and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Invade Linyi?" Liu Yan put down the things in his hand, listened, and said, "Yu Qing, come."

Yu Yi introduced the family's preparations, such as supplies and private soldiers, in great detail, as well as the navy in training, After talking for a long time, I pointed out: "I thought carefully that although there would be trouble invading the forest city, occupying the forest city will become a fact. I thought that the imperial court should send officials to accompany me. After conquering a place, I set up counties and wait for the forest city to be destroyed. I begged the king to reward the local land of the war heroes so that they can thrive there."

Plainly speaking, the Yu family paid money and worked hard to destroy Lin Yiguo, and the local governance power would not be needed. The private army would also be dissolved. How much land they laid down was still centralized and unified. Local officials were appointed by the central government, and the local garrison was also the National Army.

"Tingwei Gaoyi!" Ji Chang spoke loudly with full admiration: "Duke Yu will be famous in history, and the Yu family will be rich for hundreds of generations!"

Liu Yan glanced at Ji Chang with some blame. He didn't even speak, but Ji Chang set the tone first. What's the matter.

Yu Yi said with a bitter smile, "the Hu people have been raging in the Central Plains for decades. We are incompetent and have not expelled the Hu prisoners. We just want to atone for our sins and do our part for the reproduction of the Han family."

Liu Yan knows what Yu Yi is thinking. The Yu family must have discussed it again and again and come to the conclusion of "don't kill yourself". It's simply to continue to destroy Linyi with the power of the family. What will be rewarded depends on the magnanimity of the king.

"Chang thought that after the destruction of Lin Yi, yu should have a large fief to enjoy the preferential treatment of tax exemption, and Yu Gong should be granted a marquis." Ji Chang looked at Liu Yan with a full face of pleading. He only said that the Yu family had made concessions. Liu Yan would stop making any more moths and asked eagerly, "what does the king think?"

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of ideology. Liu Yan is not afraid that the outward opening-up family will bite the central government. He has not thought about the pattern after his death, but believes that if future generations are incompetent or angry, it is certain that the imperial dynasty will be overthrown, whether it is overturned by local forces or destroyed by external feudal officials.

The Millennium empire is not without, but it is really too few. Liu Yan is completely uncertain whether the system can be inherited. He is fully prepared. He deeply feels that the imperial dynasty can not be destroyed by other races if it is to perish. At least, it is best to replace the same Miao people in the pot.

"I know." Liu Yan didn't want to make a statement at all. He had to think about it well, waved his hand and said, "today I won't talk about political affairs any more. You can relax with me."

I don't know when it's snowing outside. Snowflakes fall from the sky. If there's nothing bothering, it's actually a good enjoyment to watch the snow while eating barbecue.

With their own thoughts, the four people in a circle will keep talking. What they say is not so distracted, and sometimes they will fall into awkward silence.

"My Lord." Xun Xian appeared again. He saluted strangely and told him: "Marquis meiyang and Marquis Xinping are fighting..."

"..." of course, Liu Yan knew who the two Hou were and asked in surprise, "ran min and Huan Wen... Who else, why did they fight?"
