As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Su Yonglin personally came out to talk to local and foreign businessmen, talked cordially, and talked about the business policies of the Ming Dynasty, etc., which had a very important influence on the businessmen in this area.
Su Yonglin did this for the long-term consideration of the Fujian region.
The mountainous areas of Fujian have less land and more people. As the saying goes, the land is not even three feet flat. It is difficult to get a few kilograms of grain throughout the year, and the agricultural potential is limited.
When the current population size is limited, a fairly stable agricultural situation can be maintained. However, as the population increases, in the next 20 to 30 years, the contradiction between less land and more people in Fujian will inevitably become prominent.
There are more people, but not enough land. The land cannot support that large population. When the time comes, overseas trade links that can accommodate a large number of employed people will be the panacea to absorb this part of the surplus agricultural population.
It is Su Yonglin's habit to take one step at a time and see three steps ahead. Especially since Su Yonglin has opened his eyes, he will also take into account the future development of the situation when considering the future. In this way, he can draw a pretty good conclusion.
Sometimes Su Yonglin would sigh, if he didn't know the development of the world situation in the future and some well-known world trends, then how should he take every step in the face of the current situation in Ming Dynasty?
Without knowing anything about historical development, how can we carefully lead this country and its huge group of people to take every step without making mistakes?
It is estimated that only gods can do it.
But there are no gods in the world.
Therefore, no one can avoid making mistakes, and no one can steadily lead the country forward without setbacks.
Strictly speaking, Su Yonglin is an absolute exception among human beings, so what he is doing now - leading the Ming Dynasty forward without making any mistakes, has accumulated a wealth of wisdom within the Ming Kingdom that is comparable to that of a god. of prestige.
He has repeatedly emphasized that there are no gods in the world, and there is no such thing as an emperor, but no matter what he says, people who are willing to believe in him will always believe in him. No matter how much he denies it, the facts are before their eyes.
He just doesn't want to exercise such sweeping power, but he can do it if he wants to.
This state is very necessary for the current situation. Su Yonglin needs to help the country when it is not able to move around well.
But this state is not normal. Su Yonglin believes that he must leave an inheritance law for this country that can operate normally, and this is also a problem comparable to carrying the revolution to the end.
Su Yonglin could only lament that some people try their best to pursue the supreme cult of personality but fail to do so. Some people do not want personality cult, but cult of personality follows them everywhere and runs through it all.
But the road has come to this point, and he has no way out, and he doesn't want to have any way out.
He must put the country on the established track, create new production relations, break the shackles of productivity development, and prevent the country from retreating into an unstoppable abyss.
If people are willing to regard him as a god, then they should treat him as a god. It is better to believe in him than to believe in those bloodthirsty and greedy ghosts and snake gods.
At least, he will not ask for anything from his people, nor will he threaten his people into falling into the abyss if they don't believe in him.
While Su Yonglin was winning on the Fujian Road, Zhao Yucheng and Zhang Yuejing were also making rapid progress.
They are launching a resolute struggle against the official forces of the Song Dynasty and the local centrifugal forces on Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road.
Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road belong to the Lingnan area in a broad sense. If the Lingnan area is further divided, Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road will be divided.
This land was a truly wild land for a long time before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After many wars and population migrations, it was finally recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty as an important and indispensable piece of land.
During the two Song Dynasties, the Jin soldiers went south, Jiangbei collapsed, and Jiangnan was turbulent. Due to the obstruction of the Five Ridges, the society in Lingnan was relatively stable and stable, and it became a refuge for a large number of people from the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
This wave of population migration brought advanced production technology and cultural knowledge to Lingnan.
It’s funny to say that every civilizational leap in the Lingnan region in ancient times seemed to be due to the war in the Central Plains. The civilized people in the Central Plains had no way to go and fled to Lingnan to avoid the war, thus causing Lingnan to develop passively.
Few monarchs in the past dynasties during peacetime were willing to invest resources in Lingnan.
By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Lingnan region had actually experienced a considerable degree of development, and a series of infrastructure construction such as water conservancy projects were still quite large-scale. Therefore, the Lingnan region was more than self-sufficient in food and had reserves, which could even be sold to Fujian and Vietnam.
Going forward a few hundred years, if Su Yonglin wants to win Lingnan, it will really cost Su Duoduo tens of billions of subsidies, and various fiscal transfer payments will be needed to develop and construct Lingnan.
But nowadays, conquering the Lingnan region is not a tens of billions subsidy for the Ming Dynasty, but a good thing that comes and goes. The Ming Dynasty can still get a lot of benefits from the Lingnan region.
In particular, Lingnan can be used as a logistics base for the Southeast Asian region. This is the same as the southern region of Sichuan and Sichuan. In Su Yonglin's strategic plan, those are places that can be developed more and used as a logistics base to attack in all directions.
In essence, this is no different from the Han Dynasty's strategy of immigrating to the border areas. They were both policies aimed at making the border areas a logistical base for military attacks.
But in the Ming Dynasty, it became different because of the emergence of different ideas.
It is a pity that Su Changsheng has worked very hard, but he still did not have time to expand the Renaissance organization to Guangdong and Guangxi before the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Southern Song Dynasty. The current Renaissance organizations in Guangdong and Guangxi were all transferred and developed after Guangzhou was ceded.
However, the physical strength of the Ming army cannot be easily stopped.
Beginning in August of the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhang Yuejing and Zhao Yucheng's troops began to move with thunderous momentum, quickly heading south through the Five Ridges Passage they controlled to enter the Lingnan area.
Zhang Yuejing led the elite main force of the First Corps southward from Quanzhou, broke through the strict pass, and entered Jingjiang Prefecture. From Jingjiang Prefecture, the troops divided into three groups and swept across Guangnan West Road.
On the other side, Zhao Yucheng led the elite main force of the reorganized 7th Corps from Nan'an Prefecture in Jiangxi Province into Nanxiong Prefecture, and then attacked Shaozhou. Then he divided his troops into two groups and began a fierce and sweeping attack on Guangnan East Road. .
In September, the main elite of Zhang Yuejing's First Corps had captured Jingjiang Prefecture, Rongzhou, Yizhou, Zhaozhou, Liuzhou, Xiangzhou, Xunzhou and other state capitals, and captured nearly half of Guangnan with lightning speed. East Road, wipe out all the local Song official forces.
Local Song officials put up a certain degree of resistance, but the intensity of the resistance was relatively low. Moreover, the local cities and military facilities were generally dilapidated and short, and their defenses were seriously insufficient. Facing the powerful attack power of the Ming army, they were defeated one after another.
However, due to the vast area of Guangnan West Road, Zhang Yuejing did not move so quickly.
In comparison, the actions of Zhao Yucheng's 7th Corps were very gratifying.
Thanks to the help of the Nanhai Marine Corps stationed in Guangzhou, Zhao Yucheng led the main force to break through Shaozhou and easily broke through Yingde Mansion. He easily killed two thousand Song troops in Yingde Mansion, and then opened up contact with Guangzhou and obtained With the help of materials transported by the Nanhai Navy from the waterway, we received more abundant material support.
With the help of the Nanhai Navy, at the end of October in the eighth year of Hongwu, the Seventh Corps almost won the victory on Guangnan East Road in a sweeping manner. In the end, it only encountered the more stubborn local Song army and landlord armed groups in Xunzhou. resistance.
Then they were bombarded with artillery by the Shenji Battalion, which was assisting in the battle in the Seventh Corps.
The Song army was defeated like a mountain, while the Ming army was sharp and powerful.
In early November, the army reached Chaozhou and successfully joined forces with the main force group led by Su Yonglin personally at the Sanhekou Salt Fields in Chaozhou.
After Su Yonglin's troops experienced a bitter battle in the mountainous areas of Fujian, they launched support to Guangnan East Road and entered Chaozhou at the end of November.
