Liu Jixing stood quietly by the lake, which can be regarded as the edge path of the imperial city's West Lake. After the death of the late emperor Liu Sheng, with Liu Jixing's consent, West Lake Yaozhou became the place where Master Tang Shang practiced. Of course, Ma Min, who was favored by Liu Sheng that day, was also moved over later. She chose to follow Tang Shang to practice Taoism. Liu Jixing did not interfere with her, nor did he put pressure on the Ma family of Prince Xing's palace.
Liu Jixing did not let anyone disturb them, nor did he want to disturb their so-called practice. After all, there was too much room to live in the imperial city, and he did not lack that space. Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter in the south. Liu Jixing has to deal with too many things every day and is involved in many things. He is almost always busy. Today, he had a little time to avoid a lot of people and went out to relax. walk.
In fact, Liu Jixing wanted to take a good look at the series of plans he had carried out during this period, and clearly analyze the huge net he had cast, and see if he could catch it now, or whether he could pull it back and forth at any time. Heart.
One is the maritime operations and power expansion, which basically achieved what they wanted. In later developed eras, many countries have developed navies that are beyond their capabilities, let alone in this era without mechanical power. Under his own ideas and instructions, Wu Yanrou, the captain of the Han Dynasty, was conducting experiments, which were things that even he himself had never dared to imagine.
Although there were complex power groups along the coasts of the East China Sea and the later Yellow Sea, due to the overall level of this era, the navy could only operate in offshore waters. Under the powerful firepower of his own ships, his own fleet, led by Captain Jike, continued to attack, and had wiped out the remaining forces at sea, large and small. The fleet of the Han Dynasty has truly achieved the status of maritime hegemony. Although this power cannot be fully disclosed yet, Liu Jixing believes that this day will not be too long.
On the relatively large islands along the East China Sea, under their clear route guidance and purposeful attacks, the navy disguised as pirates basically forced a landing or openly occupied them. The fleet and navy even took the main initiative and deep-water harbors on the coastlines bordering and owned by Goryeo, Zhou, Tang, Wuyue, and Fujian. It can be of great help to your actions at any time.
If it were before, Liu Jixing would never have believed that he could afford such a huge fleet, navy and various warships. But facts have proven that he solved this major problem by using the principle of spending all the money of the Liu family and the strategy of using war to support war and using war to support people. Moreover, the navy team has received greater training. Not only has a large number of navy generals been trained, but the actual combat capabilities of the navy have been greatly improved.
Then there is the development of the South China Sea, which can be said to have achieved gratifying results. The Han Dynasty now not only completely controls the indigenous peoples of Hainan Island, but also developed the waters around the South China Sea Island, and has great prospects for development in its exchanges with the countries in the South China Sea. Now these small countries not only know how powerful the Han Dynasty is, but also want to rely on the Han Dynasty.
Of course, in the development of Hainan Island, Liu Jixing received strong support from one person. This person was another king of the Han Dynasty with a different surname, the contemporary King Xue Li Weisu.
Speaking of King Xue, many people in Prince Xing's Mansion may know it. But when it comes to King Xue Li Weisu, not many people may know his name. Because, in Prince Xing's Mansion, King Xue is a symbol, a royal family of the previous dynasty. As for who King Xue is, probably not many people know him.
Because, decades ago, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the current Xingwang Mansion had not yet been established. At that time, it was collectively called Guangzhou Mansion. At that time, the current Xingwang Mansion was still under the jurisdiction of the Lingnan Jiedushi. Because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and because it is a barbaric land, almost no one in the court is willing to come here and leave the town, let alone the royal descendants who are nobles of the royal family.
On that day, Liu Chonggui, the military governor of Lingnan in Guangzhou, died of illness. This year happened to be the second year of Qianning (895), the reign of Emperor Zhaozong in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court was completely incapable of governing the world, and the warlords in various places were in charge of their own affairs. However, the royal family had developed many branches over hundreds of years. For the sake of the future of the Li dynasty, the emperor solemnly sent Li Zhirou, the younger brother of Emperor Xuanzong and a descendant of Xue Wang Li Longye, to serve in Guangzhou. This had never happened before. Passed.
On the one hand, this can show the court's favor to the clan, and on the other hand, it is naturally incapable of showing the power of the court. Although there may not be anyone who will betray the royal family, at least no one is stupid enough to openly oppose the imperial court at this time.
So, as a descendant of the clan, Li Zhirou picked up a good fortune and traveled all the way from Chang'an to the barren Lingnan to replace the deceased Liu Chonggui. The real power prince.
At that time, Liu Chonggui had two tooth generals, Lu Ju and Tan Hongqi, who did not know who this Xue King Li Zhirou was? He didn't really want to obey the emperor's orders. Of course, the main reason was that Lu Ju was reluctant to give up the power in his hands. They boldly used the excuse that there was no place to live in the city and turned away Prince Li Zhirou, the governor of Xue. This situation might only occur in this era, let alone in remote Lingnan.
Lu Ju and Tan Hongqi worked together to control the civil and military power in Lingnan, and even ignored the indignation of some of their colleagues around them. First, Lu Ju personally ordered the defense of various places in the name of Liu Chonggui. Of course, it was a means of intimidation from far and near, and Tan Hongqi was asked to guard Duanzhou and defend Guangzhou.
The glorious Tang Dynasty was gone, and as a prince in the last days, he was really pitiful. After Lu Ju refused to let him in, Li Zhirou really just lived outside the city. Because there was definitely no way to go back to Chang'an, and he was unwilling to leave, Li Zhirou could only wait pitifully, waiting for God to open his eyes.
At that time, Liu Jixing's great-uncle, Liu Yin, the later Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was the governor of Fengzhou and the governor of Youdu. He had been responsible for the military defense in the Hejiang area. When he heard this, he knew his chance had come. It seems to have nothing to do with you, but there are often things that are an excellent opportunity for some people.
At the end of the third year of Qianning (896), Liu Yin, who was ready, took the initiative to raise troops and marched east along the Yujiang River (Xijiang) to directly attack Duanzhou. Tan Hongqi had long heard of this young man's reputation, not to mention that Liu Yin had more than a hundred ships and tens of thousands of troops. Tan Hongqi naturally did not want to fight with Liu Yin. Seeing that Liu Yin was young and promising, he wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Yin to stabilize Liu Yin.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yin also took advantage of his plan and led his men into Duanzhou at night, successfully captured and killed Tan Hongqi, and after completely occupying Duanzhou, he went straight down the river to Guangzhou Prefecture. Lu Ju became anxious as soon as he saw it. He defended Guangzhou in an attempt to wear down Liu Yin, but Liu Yin broke through and killed him within a few days.
Then Liu Yin swaggered and became the Sima of the Lingnan Rising Army, and then sent people to welcome and contact Li Zhirou, the frustrated King of Xue. He told Li Zhirou openly and deceitfully, and welcomed Li Zhirou into Guangzhou Mansion. As a result, the actual controller of Guangzhou, as well as all military, political and financial power were in the hands of Liu Yin. Li Zhirou enjoyed happiness in the city of Guangzhou, holding the title of Prince Jiedushi and living a good life, but no one listened to him. Liu Yin also respected King Xue very much, since the power was in his own hands anyway.
But because of the Lingnan War in Guangzhou at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and because Guangzhou was the largest town in Lingnan Jiedu, its strategic significance is self-evident. It laid a solid foundation for Liu Yin to gain a foothold in Lingnan, and established a solid foundation for the establishment of the Liu family dynasty. gained prestige.
Li Zhirou was sitting in Guangzhou enjoying the blessings, and he was still the legitimate prince of the Tang Dynasty. Although Liu Yin was giving orders from behind, at least King Xue's name was on the official documents. Over the past few years, the two people had a good relationship. It can be said that everyone gets what he needs, and naturally both the host and the guest are happy.
But at this time, some people were jealous. The first was Zeng Gun, the governor of Shaozhou. At the end of the first year of Guanghua (898) in the late Tang Dynasty, he became the leader of the warlords in the Lingnan states and sent his troops south to intimidate. There was also the participation of Wang Liao, the tooth general of Guangzhou, who also mobilized the navy to cooperate with Zeng Fanli. Liu Yin had seen the world, and he was not only prepared but also not afraid at all.
Historical materials record this action concisely and effectively: "Destroyed in one battle!"
The heads were taken, the territory was easily taken over, and the territory was naturally expanded. Liu Yin was very unhappy, and it also made Li Zhirou understand the truth that it would be impossible to survive in Lingnan without Liu Yin. What's more, as a prince, he seems to be much stronger than those princes in the capital. The people around him all know that it is Prince Xue who is sitting in Guangzhou City, and the world still belongs to our Li family, although this territory is a bit remote.
In December of the third year of Guanghua (900), Li Zhirou died of illness and took office. The shrewd Liu Yin naturally took the initiative to report to the court and wanted to appoint a son to accompany Li Zhirou to Guangzhou. But Emperor Zhaozong, Comrade Li Ye, didn't know what he was thinking. He actually did not agree to the request of Liu Yin, a powerful warlord. Instead, he expressed condolences to Comrade Liu Yin tactfully and sent Xu Yanruo, the Secretary of Tongping Zhang, to take over.
In fact, Emperor Zhaozong also understood that if Xu Yanruo came, it would be in vain, and his surname in Guangzhou must have been Liu. But at that time, Liu Yin still wanted to use the court to improve his prestige, and he still did not dare to fall out in front of the world. Sure enough, Xu Yanruo arrived in Guangzhou smoothly, and Liu Yin still entertained Xu Yanruo and his party very politely.
As soon as Xu Yanruo arrived and saw the situation, he cooperated very well and never caused trouble for Liu Yin. He often met with Liu Yin by appointment, not only visited Li Zhirou's son, but also wrote to Emperor Zhaozong to promote Liu Yin to the deputy envoy of Jiedu. , and by the way, he also took care of Li Zhirou's son who didn't leave, recommending him for employment, etc.
Emperor Zhaozong naturally wrote a bad check. Not only did he promote Liu Yin, he also made Li Zhirou's son a county prince and did not invite him to return to the capital Chang'an. Liu Yin didn't have a large territory at this time, and the forces around him were eyeing him. Fortunately, Xu Yanruo only stayed for a year and left like Li Zhirou. Before his death, he spoke kindly to Liu Yin in front of Emperor Zhaozong and allowed Liu Yin to serve as the governor of Lingnan. Liu Yin was only twenty-eight years old this year.
Later, things happened just like the development of history. The Tang Dynasty came to an end due to Zhu Wen's interference. A descendant of Li Zhirou stayed in Lingnan and escaped the disaster but was not exterminated by Zhu Laosan, and the title of King Xue remained unchanged.
Later, brothers Liu Yin and Liu Yan took control of Lingnan and wiped out the surrounding forces, large and small. After Liu Yin died early, his younger brother was Liu Jixing's grandfather. Liu (Yan), the younger brother of Liu Yin, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, continued to treat the Li family's descendants well. When he ascended the throne, he did not forget to worship Li Zhirou's grandson Li Zhen as King Xue. He became one of several kings with different surnames in the Han Dynasty.
Although, now decades have passed, the throne has also passed into the hands of Liu Jixing. However, the Li family as a king with a different surname did not disappear, and Li Weisu, the contemporary king of Xue, was very smart. In the hands of Liu Sheng, he only served as Prince Taiping, and he opened many trading firms to make money according to his wishes. Among them, one-third of the Han Dynasty's shipping business belonged to Prince Xue's palace. But what is even more unexpected is that two-thirds of the income of Prince Xue's mansion goes into Liu Sheng's pocket every year.
In maritime trade all the year round, Prince Xue's control over Hainan Island and the South China Sea is still very strong. Especially after Liu Jixing accepted Abbas to be responsible for shipping, Prince Xue Li Weisu cleverly cooperated with Liu Jixing and allowed Liu Jixing to gain a foothold in Hainan. .
Liu Jixing made a positive return to Prince Xue's Mansion, that is, after he ascended the throne, he took the initiative to let a few discerning courtiers match up, and welcomed into the palace Princess Xianning, the direct son of Prince Xue's Mansion, who he liked, and He also expanded the profits of Prince Xue's maritime trade.
The specific reward from Prince Xue's Mansion was that in just two months, Liu Jixing's navy was able to establish the naval port bases Liu Jixing needed throughout the Hainan Island ring. It not only developed the ports but also established ship supply bases, reaching the level Liu Jixing needed. need. It has also gone deep into various rivers on the island to establish in-depth power and development depth to make better preparations and needs for Liu Jixing's maritime base.
These preparations are naturally for the future and Liu Jixing's subsequent development. In fact, Liu Jixing is not worried at all about the current strategy of Jiaozhou Bay and the future strategy for Jiaozhou. With his strength and preparation, all this will not be a problem.
The South China Sea that Liu Jixing cares about is under his control, and the impact of the special products and resources of the South China Sea countries on the Han Dynasty. With the help of Prince Xue's Mansion, and the continuous growth of his navy. Of course, Liu Jixing is still exploiting and squeezing ordinary local people, but the changes brought to these people's lives are rapid, just like the later British who entered the western United States to develop.
Although it will definitely have an impact on the indigenous people and local people, compared with development and progress, Liu Jixing believes that with his participation, the historical process of the people of the South China Sea and surrounding countries will be accelerated.
Moreover, what Liu Jixing cares most about is the sound development of his maritime power. The huge maritime resources for his ideal will make the Han Dynasty develop faster and better. Liu Jixing is now looking forward to it, and he is also full of strong hopes for the generals he has trained to control the current maritime power.
The second, of course, is external expansion. History is always written by the victors. This is true and true historical logic! No matter what the actual state of the original history is, no matter how the original history has changed and distorted, no matter what kind of authenticity there is. At this moment, in the South Han Kingdom in Lingnan, which was far away from the Central Plains, it seemed to have a slight deviation because of the anomaly Liu Jixing.
At least, from the perspective of the separatist forces in the Central Plains, these unexpected deviations in the distant Lingnan Prince Xing's Mansion are normal to them, because they have no idea what kind of person Liu Jixing is. Many people are still confused about this young emperor.
To the northeast is the Fujian Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty. Liu Congxiao in the Fujian area no longer dares to make trouble because of his strength. According to the information Liu Jixing received, Chen Hongjin has indeed become popular in the Qingyuan Army. As for how far he can reach, history has determined it. Whether there will be deviations depends on his anomaly. Liu Jixing believed that as long as he made no mistakes and the current garrison did not retreat, he should be able to convince him if he marched north.
He has a relatively thorough grasp of the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he has no time to care about his own development now. As the largest military force in the south that day, now under the suppression of Zhou State, it has lost its ability to compete. My methodical layout, erosion, and penetration into Southern Tang are now taking effect. What he had to guard against was naturally the growth of a new generation of generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Liu Jixing was planning how to infiltrate them.
What's more, with the help of Pan Chongche, a veteran, no one among the new generation of generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty can compete. Under the construction of Qu Quji, Suizhou is gradually becoming a huge base and a place for cultivating talents.
What Liu Jixing needs most now is talents, and this rapid talent growth plan is to train in actual combat just like the great men of later generations. In addition, Wu Sihu's men are also dismantling and carving up the borders of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Every local government close to the border of the Han Kingdom can say that it is not a problem to go hundreds of miles at any time as long as it needs it. This may be because the Southern Tang government cannot Things to imagine.
According to reliable information, the current Tang leader Li Jing is just like Liu Sheng back then. What's more, the Southern Tang Dynasty has not developed enough in the south direction close to Lingnan. Although they were afraid of Zhou's control, they were said to move the capital. Later history confirmed that they were afraid of Zhou's attack, and the country's chief ministers also really suggested moving the capital together, but without Lingnan's own power The range is still far away.
As for Guo Jing's development in Chu Territory, Liu Jixing believed that he had given Chu Territory to him for development, which was a complete success and he had unearthed a unique talent. If he can successfully penetrate the entire western Hunan and Chu, the natural chasm connecting Wuling and Chu will be connected, and then whether he attacks Chu or Shu in the future, it will be just around the corner.
The elderly Dragon Elephant Marquis Wu Xun has been stationed in the southwest. His elephant army is undoubtedly the best weapon to deal with the mountain peoples. Of course, Liu Jixing sent dozens of young generals to learn from him. Firstly, it can control the abnormal movements in Dali, secondly, it can intimidate and aid Jiaozhou, and thirdly, it naturally echoes the tunes stationed on the border of Jiaozhou.
Wu Xun's position naturally allowed him to attack Chu and Dali, echoing Quju in Jiaozhou, because Quju was a general of the younger generation after all. However, Liu Jixing's policy is to make good relations with Dali, which is naturally the best strategy at present. Therefore, the focus on the Dali border is not just prevention, but the border with Jiaozhou is not easy to worry about. There should be no war in the short term.
The use of generals like Quju is not the focus of Jiaozhou at present, it is just a training ground. Qu Ju will definitely develop in the Central Plains in the future, but now he must train himself a group of new commanders who can be independent in the future. Of course, Jiaozhou has been claiming to the outside world that it still claims to be a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. If there is no strong opposition to him, Liu Jixing feels that he does not need to take the initiative.
The current governor of Jiaozhou is Wu Changjun, the son of Wu Quan. When Liu Sheng was in power that day, he had no control over Jiaozhou. He could only pretend to be a fat man and sent an order to Li Yu, who was involved in the incident. He used the banner to attract Wu Changjun to the court. Of course, it was also I never thought that he would actually come to Xingwang Mansion.
However, he did not expect that the forces in Jiaozhou were also constantly conflicting. Wu Changjun had just inherited his brother's title, and his foundation in the country was not stable. Seeing that the Han Dynasty court was paying attention to it, they also hoped that Liu Sheng would acquiesce to his embrace, and actually agreed to Li Wei's request. The group arrived in Baizhou in great force. Who knew that he was too sensitive and the people around him turned a deaf ear. He was actually afraid that Liu Sheng would kill him, so he lied about there being pirates in Baizhou. During the twelfth year of Qianhe's reign, Liu Sheng had never thought that he would come. On the surface, he comforted him, so he let it go.
Liu Jixing feels that Jiaozhou is not the focus now, although in the future, whether he is facing history or hating those white-eyed wolves in later generations, he will teach these people a lesson. At present, I have to rely on these people to train my troops. As long as I give myself a little time, I will be ready to attack after accumulating.
The overall situation in the Central Plains region has been changing, although there has been no change due to Liu Jixing's existence and intervention. There are even many people who have not heard of Liu Jixing and do not know the existence of this young emperor. This is Liu Jixing's advantage.
The Emperor of Zhou, Guo Rong, was in high spirits and was still carrying out his grand plans, but Liu Jixing was counting his death day by day. Meng Chang of the Shu Kingdom was still living and drinking, believing that his road to Shu was difficult and difficult to reach the sky, but Liu Jixing was thinking about his wife, Mrs. Huarui. Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty was still struggling with whether he should develop or join in, but Liu Jixing was thinking about why he wanted to rape Li Congjia, who was still traveling around.
No matter whether history will be biased or not, at least there have been no major changes so far, and Liu Jixing at least still has the advantage of predicting the future. Even though forces such as the Northern Han Dynasty, Wu Yue Kingdom and (Southern Han Dynasty) Fujian Kingdom were some thorns in the side, they would not cause major problems. Moreover, it seems that the other forces are not worth mentioning.
However, at this moment, under the control of Liu Jixing's devilish hand, great changes are already taking place in the central Sichuan region, the Chu region, and the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even Hunan, the Chu region that has been in turmoil, is experiencing and brewing a different storm. It is conceivable that in the near future, the overall situation of the Central Plains will inevitably undergo greater deviations.
Now, except for Liu Jixing, it seems that no one in these dramas knows what kind of historical deviations will occur. No one understands the purpose of the young emperor Liu Jixing in distant Lingnan.
But everyone in Lingnan understands and gradually understands it! At this moment, under the leadership of the young emperor Liu Jixing, the Southern Han Dynasty experienced some different changes. In this era of early personal maturity, Liu Jixing seems to be the same as his grandfather Liu Yan, a young man with outstanding courage. Everyone gradually recognized the fact that the remote Lingnan and Han Dynasties were breaking away from everyone's previous understanding, and seemed to be reviving the unfinished business of the Liu family back then.
Among them, the most melancholy ones are naturally the forces close to Lingnan and the Han Dynasty, that is, Zhou Xingfeng, a Chu country power that has just emerged from the disputes, and the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was just frightened by the Zhou Dynasty and ceded territory to the vassal state. Li Jing of the Dynasty.
The foreshadowing that Liu Jixing prepared in advance has now had a significant impact in various places. Although I don’t know what kind of situation will occur when Liu Jixing takes action, what kind of impact it will have on the Southern Han Kingdom in the future, and what kind of ending it will have. However, the current influence among various separatist regimes and the Southern Han State's control of intelligence in various places are obviously inevitable.
However, Liu Jixing also deeply understood that even with the intervention of his own variable, the current situation of the political power in various places has not changed. I only have a little more information and a little more power than Liu Yun in history. Although he is not as unethical and ignorant as Liu Yuan, as for the forces that divide the leaders of various places and political power, there is basically no change and conflict.
Although he can be regarded as the leader of a force, and he has been controlling the huge intelligence agencies and military, under his leadership, he is adopting militarized management for future generations. The country of Han is now hugging each other tightly under his own performance. However, no one knows whether there will be accidents or changes.
Everything seems to be moving on a normal historical track, but Liu Jixing is working hard to change and coordinate the uniqueness of this era. Many things cannot be changed overnight, but Liu Jixing believes that with his own intervention, at least The separatist regime in the entire south will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes. As for the Central Plains region, it will be a problem for the future. I don't care how big an earthquake my changes will cause.
Historically, after Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty and conquered Shuzhong and the Southern Han Dynasty, he once faced the territory of Dali, raised his arms and said helplessly: "This barbaric land is not what I want!" From then on, Dali and the Song Dynasty coexisted until the end of the Song Dynasty. , and was finally wiped out by Kublai Khan's army. Now Liu Jixing feels that even in his worst state, he can still rule according to the natural barrier of Wuling and Zhao Kuangyin.
It's not that Liu Jixing doesn't want to change history, but what he relies on now is his understanding and mastery of history. If he interferes in history too much, everything may change. Therefore, everything developed naturally for Liu Jixing, and he just acted as a pusher at the appropriate time.
History has its own trajectory!
