Valley Emperor

When Li Xuan pointed at the map and said this, the admirals who were sitting on the rectangular table stood up directly, their expressions all excited, and some even flushed with excitement!

​​

It was the first time that they heard Li Xuan express his strategic vision for overseas expansion in the future, and they didn't even want it. Their majesty, Li Xuan, the sage of all ages, was so ambitious!

​​

Although Li Xuan has not disclosed his governing philosophy in public in the past, everyone is not stupid. From Li Xuan's many reform measures, most of them can guess that Li Xuan wants to carry out a thorough investigation of the old society. Reform is not just as simple as unifying China!

​​

The Son of Heaven, he wants to deeply reform the drawbacks that have lasted for thousands of years, completely end the old era, and create a new era for the people of Huaxia Dawn!

​​

This can be seen from the military specifications, the emphasis on science and technology, the emphasis on the people's livelihood economy, the reform of the official system, the education system, and so on.

​​

Although the present Tang Dynasty is still an imperial power dynasty, it is a dynasty with a high concentration of central imperial power, encouraging the development of science and technology, and encouraging the development of industry and commerce. It is a completely different product from the previous dynasties.

​​

These, they can all be seen as courtiers, and they can also guess the ambition of the Son of Heaven.

​​

Holy Son of Heaven, he wants to create peace for all eternity, and this is not just rhetoric, but he really did it, and he did a good job.

​​

But today, they saw a completely different Holy Son of Heaven. They thought that the Holy Son of Heaven they had guessed was great enough, and its ambition was huge enough, but they never thought that their Holy Son of Heaven, The wise and great emperor, who is greater than the sun, wants to build an empire where the sun never sets!

​​

What kind of ambition, what kind of daring!

​​

With such ambition and spirit, countless emperors in China have never had it since ancient times, but their Holy Son of Heaven did, and they really planned to do it.

​​

If it is done, even if only a small part of the goal is achieved, its achievements will definitely be unmatched by countless emperors in China since ancient times!

​​

And as the servants of the Holy Son of Heaven, the heroes of this era, they will definitely be remembered in history!

​​

Mingjun and worthy ministers, the Son of Heaven is naturally a Mingjun, and these ministers are naturally worthy ministers! !

​​

When the courtiers were excited, Li Xuan looked at the admirals again and said slowly, "In the next few years or even decades, the Navy must formulate relevant development strategies with this goal in mind!"

​​

"I hope that in the future, the strength of the imperial navy can reach the sum of the naval forces of other countries outside the empire!" Li Xuan was still talking, pointing to the huge world map behind him: "The two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, must be located in the empire. In the complete control of the empire, with the ocean as a barrier, it controls and defends the hinterland of the empire, and in the Atlantic Ocean, the imperial navy must make a sound that matches the status of the empire, and do a good job of interfering in Europe at any time. Strategic task!"

​​

Hearing Li Xuan talking about the combined strength of the navies of other countries, and the need to completely control the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and even take a strategic advantage in the Atlantic Ocean, all these admirals took a breath.

​​

These admirals also know the power of other countries. Although they have never been to Europe, or even to the South Seas, from the mouths of foreign businessmen, they can also know the current situation of the countries in the world.

​​

Today, in terms of naval strength and even colonies, Spain is the well-deserved leader, while the Portuguese are the second. These two countries can be called empires on which the sun never sets. Their colonies are all over the world, and the navy The strength is also quite huge.

​​

Although they haven't seen the Spanish Armada with their own eyes, they know that they have hundreds of warships. If you count armed merchant ships, there are even more.

​​

The Portuguese's navy is weaker, but that's only relative to the Spaniards.

​​

You are welcome to say that the current Portuguese naval strength is much stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty!

​​

However, the Son of Heaven said that in the future, the imperial navy should not only surpass one country, but reach the sum of other countries and control the global ocean. What does this mean?

​​

This means that the Tang Dynasty will at least maintain a huge scale of hundreds of warships in the future, and these warships cannot be ordinary ships. The main force must be battleships, and the auxiliary ships are those cruisers and frigates.

​​

It's a pity to see that the Datang Navy doesn't even have a single battleship yet. There are only two semi-finished, unfinished battleships on the slipway, and they are only third-class battleships.

​​

However, in this era and the European navy in the following decades, the main ships of other navies are battleships. A battleship is a first-class battleship with ten or even hundreds of naval guns, and that is the core backbone.

​​

For the Tang Navy to reach the level of the Son of Heaven, it still has a long way to go!

​​

At this time, Li Xuan also seemed to see the doubts of the courtiers, so he also eased his tone a little: "Of course, India, America and the fleet must reach the sum of other countries, but the long-term goal of the empire is not ten years. It will take twenty years, if twenty years is not enough, we will do it in fifty years and one hundred years. At that time, we should never give up this goal!"

​​

"And as the starting point of the empire's next century's strategy!" At this time, Li Xuan pointed to Malacca again: "Melaka, it must be taken down!"

​​

Li Xuandao: "In the next few years, all the development plans of the Imperial Navy must follow this prerequisite, to be able to cover the landing of a large number of troops in Malacca, to be able to provide sufficient logistical supplies in a timely manner, and to maintain the safety of the maritime logistical line.

​​

More importantly, it is necessary to defeat the Portuguese fleet in this area and nearby areas, and at the same time, it must be able to resist the main force of the naval fleet drawn by the Portuguese from the Indian Ocean and even from the Atlantic Ocean, and ensure the sea **** along the coast of Southeast Asia, the mainland coast and even the entire South Ocean. ! "

​​

"When the navy is ready and confident, then it's the time of the empire's century-old strategy!"

​​

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he just didn't continue talking. In today's meeting, he has already said too much, from technological innovation, naval system, to future strategy, he has said enough. .

​​

Now that the words are finished, what to do next is naturally the matter of these courtiers!

​​

Therefore, after Li Xuan talked at length, he resumed his usual appearance again, sitting on the dragon chair and squinting and listening, basically not speaking.

​​

At this time, the admirals spoke with excitement one by one. Li Xuan's remarks just shocked them too much!

​​

They are not surprised when they hit Malacca. In the past two years, the Empire and the Portuguese have cooperated more and more closely on the trade route of Europe and East Asia, but the contradictions are also getting bigger and bigger. Considering that the Portuguese cannot stay in Malacca comfortably, relying on Malacca, the Portuguese can maintain a considerable maritime power in the South China Sea, and they can also get the Portuguese fleet in the Indian Ocean in time. support.

​​

If this foothold is destroyed, then the grape people will basically lose their foothold in East Asia and the South China Sea. They can come to trade in the future, but if they want to control this sea area, it is basically impossible. .

​​

But developing a larger-scale navy and controlling the world is something they never dared to think about before. Now that Li Xuan said it, and asked them to do this, how could they not be excited.

​​

This is definitely an opportunity for celebrities through the ages, this is definitely an opportunity to bring prosperity and wealth to oneself, to the family, and to future generations!

​​

Do it, you must do it!

​​

So everyone is making plans, how to better develop the navy, so as to achieve the grand goal set for them by His Majesty: to occupy the world!

​​

Well, before they can achieve this goal, they have to realize the small goal set by His Majesty in the early stage, that is, to win Malacca!

​​

This kind of thing is related to the overseas strategy of the empire, and it is related to the development of the Navy in the next few years or even decades. Naturally, it is not possible to get a complete system plan in a day or two. The Navy has to go through many internal discussions at least. , after repeated consideration, can submit a preliminary plan to Li Xuan.

​​

Then Li Xuan still has a great possibility of rejecting and asking them to make a new plan. This time, it will take a month at the earliest. If it doesn't go well, it is possible for a few months or even a year and a half. of.

​​

After the meeting on the navy side~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Xuan is naturally impossible to forget the army. When the army meeting was held, he also took out a huge world map and pointed to Central Asia and West Asia. , pointed to South Asia, pointed to the Americas and Africa, and said that those are the territories of the empire, and I hope to take them back.

​​

It also made the army's high-level generals stunned for a while, and then they all happily said something about His Majesty's wiseness.

​​

Of course, there are no large-scale wars on the navy side, and they are very busy, so they can start relevant plans now, but for the army, this is obviously not realistic, because they are now even domestic unification. Not quite finished yet.

​​

But Li Xuan told them for the first time that the empire's journey was far from over, and the unification of Kyushu was just the beginning.

​​

And what does this mean? This means that they finally don't have to worry about being cooked by rabbits and dogs and hidden by birds in a year or two! Ps: Book friends, I am raining when it rains.
