"The first step for overseas colonization is to develop Taiwan. Taiwan is relatively close to the south of the Yangtze River. It only takes two days to reach it. It only takes half a day from Fujian!" "And Taiwan Island has fertile land, suitable for farming, and can be developed. Three million acres of land can be used to relocate millions of refugees. In the initial stage, banks will provide loans for cattle, seeds, and rations, and they will be repaid in installments!" As he spoke, Yu Yunwen talked about specific colonial strategies. At this moment, the main energy of the Song Dynasty was to prepare for war and the Northern Expedition, and only a small amount of energy could be used to develop colonies. Areas that are too far away cannot be developed for the time being, and Taiwan, which is relatively close, has become the first choice. The colonial policy was implemented for the first time. No one has experience, so they must cross the river by feeling the stones, experiment step by step, advance step by step, and then find the best strategy. At this time, Taiwan became the guinea pig. ??First Taiwan, then Hainan. "Overseas colonization is far away from the mainland and requires naval protection. The navy is not only to fight against the Jin Dynasty and land in Liaodong; it is also established for overseas expansion. The size of the navy will not shrink, but will only continue to expand. Navy expenses will be drawn from overseas colonial income! "The emperor said that overseas colonization can be divided into two steps. In the early stage, we mainly used private ships to sail overseas to exchange what we had, and used our country's silk, porcelain, medicinal materials, tea, etc. to exchange gold and silver from overseas. It will be used to satisfy the treasury and provide funds for the Northern Expedition; in the later period, it will be necessary to vigorously develop the land, build towns and villages in some areas, and develop agriculture. " "The biggest problem in overseas development is that our country will interact with the indigenous people in other places. Disputes. This can establish the Nanhai Protectorate to gradually manage the affairs of the South China Sea. Some of the land can be purchased by our country and the navy will not mind sending troops to conquer it! Although the country is in decline, it will take at least five years to drive the Jin army out of the Great Wall; and it will take at least twenty years to restore the north. In these twenty years, it will be too difficult to rebuild only by relying on blood transfusions from the south. Blood transfusions from overseas can alleviate the pressure in the South!" Yu Yunwen said. Somewhat persuasive. The colonial strategy is about promoting Confucianism and Taoism, but it is about purchasing land. Slow down conflicts with the indigenous people, but conflicts, even wars, will inevitably occur, and they will inevitably be bloody. And all this. For Li Gang, who was born in Confucianism. It's unacceptable. Li Gang has always been opposed to it, one of the reasons for colonial strategy. In addition, the colonial strategy was very risky and expensive, which was another reason for Li Gang's opposition. This is one of the reasons why the emperor emptied Li Gang's power. Li Gang expressed his worries: "The Kingdom of Jin went south, looted the Song Dynasty, and burned, killed, and looted our country. But now, our country uses its powerful navy to burn, kill, and loot some small countries in the South China Sea. It destroys the country at every turn. This is inconsistent with What's the difference between the Jin people?" "The emperor said it politely, but we are not fools. Once colonization begins, all ethics, justice, and integrity will be lost. People will fight for profit, and merchants will fight for profit. If the music is destroyed, the country will not be a country! " "But once colonization begins, a large number of people will inevitably go to the countries in the South China Sea. At that time, the countries in the South China Sea will be far away from our country. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. , I don¡¯t know what the trap is going to be!¡± ¡°If our dynasty is strong, it can control the countries in the South China Sea; but once its power is weakened, it will inevitably fall apart. Is it inevitable that it will come from the sea and cause harm to our country?" Yu Yunwen's heart sank, this is inevitable. It¡¯s just that what Li Gang said is right, but it is not suitable for today¡¯s Song Dynasty. If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance. Sometimes, knowing the cliff, knowing death is certain, knowing the mistake, we still have to move forward. You must have great courage to overcome all difficulties and open up a new path. Blindly defending the city and blindly adhering to Confucian benevolent governance are not suitable for troubled times. Vaguely, Yu Yunwen felt that Li Gang's twilight energy had declined and he no longer looked like the high-spirited person he was when he returned to Bianliang! "During the Han Dynasty, the Protectorate of the Western Regions was established. In order to compete for control of the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty fought fiercely with the Xiongnu and small countries in the Western Regions. In the Tang Dynasty, the Protectorate of Anxi and the Protectorate of Beiting were established, and they continued to fight with the Turks, Tuyuhun, The battle between Tubo and Tibet was fierce, but no one dared to look down upon me, the Han people. We were the real rulers of China at that time!" Yu Yunwen said, nostalgic for the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. "In the past few years, I have been in the army and fought against the Jin army. I also understand a truth. Dignity is gained by fighting. After playing several wars to destroy the country, dignity will be there; blindly giving away New Year coins, blindlyPeace will only ruin the destiny of the country! " "Back then, when the Khitan army went south, destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, and captured Bianliang, it was so powerful. But our Central Plains was divided into four parts. There was the Northern Han Dynasty in the east of the river, the Shu Kingdom in Sichuan, the Southern Han Dynasty in Guangdong, the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Jiangnan area, and Nanping in the Jingzhou area. At that time, we were divided into four parts, but the Khitan army still could not destroy our Central Plains! Had to go back. But when we came to our dynasty, we were defeated first by the Khitan, then by the Xixia, and were almost destroyed by the Jin Kingdom! Just because I despise force, always think about peace talks, and always think about sending New Year coins! " "Only through force can we gain dignity and destroy the Kingdom of Jin. Don't say that you will die if you fight for a long time. It is better to perish if you fight for a long time than to be destroyed by others. I would rather be a wolf and die fighting a powerful enemy than be a sheep and be eaten! " "The Han Dynasty could open the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty could open the Protectorate of Anxi and the Protectorate of Beiting, why can't our dynasty open the Protectorate of the South China Sea. Don't talk about suffering. Shouldn't we do it if there is suffering? " Yu Yunwen said, feeling that the distance between him and Li Gang was getting farther and farther. When he was young, he followed his father and asked Li Gang for advice. At that time, he admired Li Gang to the extreme, but at this moment, he felt extremely strange! " There was no speculation, and the food was not interesting. Soon after, Yu Yunwen stood up and left. "Your Majesty, this is the beginning of the Han and Tang's foreign conquests. In the future, war is inevitable, whether it is a blessing or a curse! " Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emperors have mostly focused on defense, focusing on governing from the top down, and there have been few external wars. Even wars were mostly caused by invasions by foreign enemies and forced to fight back. Only Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was determined to forge ahead and thought of external conquests. , thinking about destroying Xixia, destroying the Liao Kingdom, and trying to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was too ambitious and talented, and the appointed Wang Anshi was too radical, and the policies that benefited the people often turned into policies that were harmful to people. National strength, but there is no progress. But the current emperor Zhao Pu is different. He personally created a strong army to resist the Jin army's attacks. He also defeated the Jin army many times and forced the Jin army to retreat step by step. ZTE is hopeful. And the most terrifying thing is that he employs loyal ministers, treacherous ministers, villains, gentlemen, and hypocrites, as long as they are talented, and he doesn't care. These ministers are playing tricks and playing tricks. It's just that rules have been set up, and merit and punishment will be determined according to the rules. Merits will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. No matter what your party is, just do things well. The worst is Zhao Pu's simple and direct personality, and he is domineering. Even though his ministers have all kinds of tricks. There is no choice but to be obedient and obedient. In the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties, war is inevitable; after the prosperous age, prosperity and decline are inevitable. ! "Li Gang smiled bitterly, feeling that he was getting old. "Only old people think too much! Now the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom have not been destroyed. They are far away from ZTE, and I don't know how far away from the prosperous age. They are far away from their peak and then decline. I don¡¯t know how far away. It may be a hundred years from now, but it may be two hundred years from now. He is not Yuan Tiangang or Li Chunfeng. He doesn¡¯t need to predict the fate of the country. It¡¯s so far away, so why worry about it in a few days. Li Gang died without any illness "Why is Li Gang dead?" " Zhao Pudao, a trace of sadness flashed across his face. "Your Majesty, this is the letter left to Your Majesty by Jia Fluoride before his death! "Li Gang's son handed over the letter. Zhao Pu opened the letter and read it carefully. "In the letter, there are no national policy suggestions, no strategies on how to eliminate money. It just tells your majesty to take care of yourself, not to worry too much about government affairs, and not to fight in battle. The hope of the Song Dynasty lies in your majesty. No one can save money except your majesty. It is like a father telling a child. Zhao looked at it. Tears flowed from Pu Bujue's eyes, "Another minister has left! "(To be continued)
