Valley Emperor

The autumn of the 24th year of Xuanping was very important for the Tang Empire. The opening of the northern railway line to traffic, the reform of the Datang Western Trading Company, etc., all had a great impact on the internal development of the empire.

And this effect is not temporary, but long-term!

The opening of the entire northern railway line means that the land traffic between the north and the south has been completely opened up. It is an exaggeration to say that as long as Li Xuan is willing, the guard troops deployed in Jinling City will be able to kill Kaifeng within a few days, and it will take a few more hours. You can kill Tianjin in a few days, and in a few days, you can kill Shenyang or Heishan City.

This is vital for the Empire to maintain **** of the North!

Not to mention the economic impact.

The reform of Datang Western Ocean Trading Company is also the same. After the reform of the company, the opening of Western Ocean trade has made many domestic trading companies collectively flock to India and even West Asia and Africa, which is a huge benefit for the empire's overseas trade.

In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Xuanping, the domestic customs statistics found that starting in the autumn of Xuanping twenty-fourth, the import and export volume of the empire not only recovered to the level before the war with the Portuguese, but even increased slightly.

This means that the empire has completely got rid of the Portuguese overseas trade channels, not only got rid of their control, but also developed more rapidly, and the domestic industry has obtained even greater profits.

Because many of the profits from overseas trade in the past were actually earned by the Portuguese, but now, without the Portuguese to share, the profits are all earned by the merchants of the empire.

This further proves that the Empire's choice to start war against Portugal was correct.

However, these economic developments are nothing to Xuanping's twenty-four years. More importantly, after the Fusang Islands were established as provinces, the Son of Heaven also adjusted for the localization of the Nanyang region.

Changed Luzon Prefecture to Luzon Province, Banten Prefecture to Banten Province, the areas under its jurisdiction have not changed, they are still the original places, but the act of establishing a province is to declare that the above-mentioned areas are no longer. What is the overseas territory, but the local area of ​​the empire.

With the establishment of these two provinces, the Holy Emperor Li Xuan made adjustments to the fiefs of several princes as the Spring Festival approached.

Among them, the fiefdom of the eldest prince has changed from the previous Dayu County to the entire Beihai Province!

This does not mean one county and one prefecture, but the entire Beihai Province.

The fief of the second prince should belong to the entire Banten Province. It is worth noting that the Banten Province of the empire includes Australia, but does not include the state of Malacca. The state of Malacca, which is the area on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, is still an empire. direct jurisdiction.

The fiefdom of the third prince is the entire Luzon Province.

The fiefdoms of these three princes were changed, many people had expected before, but after the real change, it still made many people incomprehensible.

Because the canonization of princes is somewhat different from those of ordinary nobles. The fiefdoms of these princes are too large. Even if the population and economy of these places are not very good, after development, they can receive salaries. But there are so many.

And most importantly, although the Son of Heaven still does not allow the conferred princes to intervene in the government affairs of the fiefs, in order to protect their safety, troops were specially drawn from the Guards and arranged for these three princes to act as guards.

Although there are not many people, each prince has only arranged a guard of 2,000 people, and these guards will be rotated from the Guards unit, and they will be uniformly commanded and dispatched by the Guards Staff, and they are not directly Under the command of the prince, they just accepted the order of the Guards headquarters and were ordered to protect the prince.

But this still aroused the concern of many ministers. They were worried that after these princes who were entrusted to the outside world had guards, they might use these guards to further expand their military power, and then trigger a rebellion.

Li Xuan also understood the concerns of the courtiers, but he still chose to do so.

His overseas enfeoffment policy was not simply enfeoffment, but more importantly, he wanted to completely turn these areas into the territory of the Chinese people, the kind that has been around since ancient times.

How to put it, he wanted to put many eggs in different baskets. Even if the royal family in the empire fell in the future, there would still be royal branches overseas anyway.

Maybe a few hundred years later, the Li royal family in the empire's native country is finished, but the Li royal family in North America will still rule North America, and that would be good.

As for the rebellion, he estimated that it would not happen in his lifetime.

As for the prince who succeeded to the throne after his own death, and then the princes who were entrusted overseas wanted to rebel against the guards and fiefs of thousands of people, and if the prince could not suppress the rebellion by relying on the empire itself, then the prince deserved to be overthrown. .

Now that Li Xuan's prestige is too high, he has decided the division of the three princes and the distribution of the two thousand guards, and the courtiers cannot interfere.

However, the three princes and princes who are the parties have different ideas.

The three princes who were encapsulated were naturally maddened by surprise. They originally thought that they were just like other nobles, and at most they hired some guards from the bodyguard company. To them, although they also know that these guards belong to the Guards, they do not command.

But this is only now, as long as there is enough time, they will slowly infiltrate the two thousand guards and completely control the two thousand guards. In 2009, if they find another opportunity, it is very possible to establish an armed force directly belonging to them.

This also means that they will have their own direct military forces in the future, which is very important.

If they have any ideas in the future, for example, if there is a change in the country, they can directly bring the guards back to the country to compete for the throne of the emperor.

As for the imperial prince Li Hao, he was naturally a little worried, but only a little worried.

He is different from the other brothers over the years. Other princes cannot follow Li Xuan's **** every day, nor can they participate in government affairs, while the imperial prince Li Hao follows Li Xuan every day and even directly participates in government affairs. , even if only to listen without expressing any opinion.

But this is enough to let him understand the powerful strength of the empire's homeland and the strength of overseas fiefs.

In the future, if that brother of his wanted to emulate Zhu Di of the former Ming Dynasty, Li Hao had the absolute intention to thwart their conspiracy.

This is confidence in the mighty power of the Empire's homeland.

In the twenty-fourth year of Xuanping, after the canonization of the three princes came to an end, it also announced the arrival of Xuanping's twenty-five years.

Relatively speaking, the 25th year of Xuanping was much calmer than the 24th year of Xuanping. Basically, nothing major happened. The only thing worth mentioning was the Indian and African Expeditionary Forces, which successively conquered the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean. Numerous colonial strongholds along the coast.

No way, the Imperial African Expeditionary Force has already captured South Africa, and the Indian Ocean Fleet has directly hoarded dozens of warships here, completely blocking the Cape of Good Hope. Without the permission of the Imperial Navy, one ship should not be able to pass the Cape of Good Hope.

The Portuguese, who had been cut off from their sea supply lines, could not hold on to their colonies on the coast of the Indian Ocean.

It is logical to be conquered one by one.

As a result, the empire also took over all the Portuguese colonies and ports along the Indian Ocean coast.

There is basically nothing to stop the empire's merchant ships sailing and trading in the Indian Ocean waters.

Of course, although the empire accepted the Portuguese colonies and ports in the Indian Ocean coast, it did not mean that the empire ruled India, West Asia, Africa, etc. In fact, the current empire is the same as the Portuguese before, but only in Some areas occupy ports and set up trading posts.

There has not been a large number of immigration and localization in the above-mentioned regions as in the Southeast Asia region.

The empire's activities west of Malacca are currently dominated by overseas trade, supplemented by colonization. As for localization, it is too difficult and cannot be done in a short period of time.

Compared with large-scale immigration to Indo-Western Africa, the upper echelons of the empire are now more inclined to large-scale immigration to North America.

Because the geographical environment and climate of North America are more superior, and it is also more suitable for the survival of the people of the empire, and the various local resources are extremely rich, so that the high-level empires of the empire are coveted by the Americas.

That is, the distance is too far, otherwise, the empire would have immigrated millions of people to occupy the entire North America.

It's a pity that the distance is a pain!

In the twenty-five years of Xuanping, for the Tang Empire, it was generally calm, and internal development was the main body. Although there were foreign expeditions, they were all small and medium-scale wars, and they were not on the table.

In the whole year, Li Xuan has not even held a military meeting in front of the royal family...

But this kind of calm is only for the huge Tang Empire!

And for many, it has been a rough year!

For example, for Ying Yikang and Bi Zhian!

They were in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year of Xuanping, that is, they were transferred to serve in the Fifth Northwest Army!

Ying Yikang served as the commander of the 18th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Infantry Division under the Fifth Army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After the Battle of Fusang, he did not stay in Fusang for even two more days. After being transferred back to Jinling City, he still served in the staff. After half a year in office, he was transferred to the Northwest, and his rank was also promoted to lieutenant colonel.

Through his relationship, Bi Zhian was also transferred to the northwest and served as the captain and deputy battalion commander under his command.

Bi Zhian performed well in the Battle of Fusang, and he was also injured heroically. After the war, he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and he was also successfully promoted to captain of the army.

Under Ying Yikang's command, although he was a deputy battalion commander, his battalion commander was a son of a nobleman, and he was an old fritter with no self-motivation. Back to the Central Plains to enjoy the kind of happiness.

So even if he is only a deputy battalion commander, it is no different from directly in charge of a battalion.
