Chapter 883 Emperor, Supreme Emperor
In October, Liaodong outside the border, red maples are like fire, and mountains are silent. [Absolute Power]
The city of Liaoyang, which lives on the bank of Liaodong, was a few years ago when it was a city fortress used by Goguryeo, Liaodong to attack and sweep away the tribes of Liaodong and resist the attack of the Central Plains dynasty. It was occupied for more than 500 years without falling. More than 500 years of operation allowed the Great Sui Iron Armored Army, which once swept across the world, and failed to fall four times, with millions of slaughtered sand, blood stained Liaodong, and countless people were piled up.
However, in just a few years, this fortress city that once made countless men in the Central Plains fear like tigers had already become a prosperous and commercial city outside the Fortress. As one of the capitals of Dachen, it was also the first base for Dachen. Over the years, Chen Kefu has been continuously strengthening the construction of this city. Countless people in the Central Plains have moved, and more people from the Liaodong tribes have joined in. The original pure military fortress has now assumed more of the obligation to accompany the capital, and has long become the center of the entire Liaodong, western Liaoning, and even the Sanhan Peninsula and the entire northern desert grassland.
When the Central Plains was withered and countless cities were destroyed, Liaoyang, which had been in the aftermath of the war for a long time, had already recovered and recovered. Now, 50,000 troops were stationed in the entire Liaoyang City, plus the soldiers who hoarded fields outside the city, their families, as well as workers, merchants and so on from major workshops in the city, etc., the population of the entire Liaoyang City has exceeded 500,000, reaching nearly 600,000.
Although as early as the early years of Daye, Xijing'an and the eastern capital Luoyang both had a population of one million, and even Jiankang City in Jiangnan had once exceeded 500,000. But that was all the past. Since Daye, wars in the Central Plains have been ongoing. Luoyang, the center of the world, has been burning several times, and only 300,000 to 400,000 people were left. Although the population has recovered nearly one million, the city is not as prosperous as before. As for Jiankang in Jiangnan, it was only one year after two wars. It was only broken a lot by the Chen army not long ago. It is now damaged everywhere. It is impossible to restore the prosperity of the past without three or five years. Only Xijing'an has remained stable without the war. However, many people have left big cities like Xi'an due to difficulties in life and went to other places to make a living.
To be honest, it is like today. Although the population of Liaoyang, Tokyo is not the largest city in the world, even Luoyang has to surpass it in terms of prosperity.
Compared with famous cities such as Luoyang, Chang'an and Jiankang in the Central Plains, Liaoyang City is more peaceful.
The war has been away from Liaoyang City for several years. Due to the painstaking efforts of Dachen, this place has always been regarded as the last base of Dachen, so all aspects of construction have been exhausted.
In the early years of Daye, Liaoyang was the forefront of the struggle between Goguryeo and the Sui Dynasty, and it was also the center of the gathering and trading between the tribes in Liaodong. Therefore, although this place was strong at that time, it was not prosperous. But now, Goguryeo has long been destroyed. The rebellious Maru tribes and Khitan tribes that were rebellious in the past surrendered to the Great Chen Dynasty. It was a feudal state for ministers, and Shi Wei became the prefecture county of Chen, and even Silla and Baekje were all alliances.
Although the country, Xi State and the Jing tribe have no subordinates, they have signed an agreement with Da Chen to not attack each other. Chen Kefu even married the princesses of their tribes. The Tiel Khanate in the north of the Mobei region has now married Da Chen. In the entire Liaodong Mobei region, except for the Turks who are almost the same as the grassland, there is basically no mutual attack and killing in the past. Liaoyang, the center outside the frontier, has been peaceful and prosperous for a long time.
People all think that Liaodong is bitter and cold. In fact, Liaodong is not poor. In the past, people in the Central Plains looked down on Liaodong. The most important thing is that Liaodong is the many tribes. Even those tribes of the same sex and between large tribes have been constantly attacking and defending over the years. The frequent wars are the real reason for Liaodong's bitter and cold.
But now, as the base camp that Dachen has been operating for several years, this situation has long disappeared. Without war, endless looting and attacks, the black soil of Liaodong immediately revealed their fertility.
The land of the western Liaoning Corridor, the Liaodong Peninsula and even the Fuyu Road is actually a fertile Northeast Plain. This fertile plain is surrounded by the Greater Xing'an Mountains, the Little Xing'an Mountains, the Yanshan Mountains, and the Changbai Mountains. The plains inside are not much different from the Central Plains, but the climate is just a little colder. However, the fertile plain and the countless logs, ores, medicinal materials and other resources on the major mountains are extremely rich, and the convenient seaports ports on the peninsula and the western Liaoning Corridor can quickly transport these materials out of Liaodong.
You can sprout fish by hitting a stick with a roe deer and scooping a piece of chopstick.
It can be seen that the fertility of the land in Liaodong is that under the strategies of military hoarding, immigration, and large-scale distribution of land, this land used to be like a farmer who relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, guard the fertile land of Baishan and Black Water, but can only live a nomadic hunting life. It has changed a long time ago.
A few years have passed, and Liaodong has now become the largest grain production area in the world. When the people of the Central Plains were busy with war and still couldn't eat enough to grab grain everywhere, Chen State relied on the fertile land of Liaodong to greatly alleviate the food gap. The countless workshops in Liaoyang City have reserved countless equipment and gold and silver for the war in Dachen.
Paradise.
This is the first time Chen Shen, who has suffered a bit of thinness, has felt after following Chen Kefu into Liaodong. Emperor Chen, who has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, did not choose to stay in Jiankang or Luoyang, but took the initiative to come to Liaoyang City.
Perhaps the first time I took the initiative to come to Liaoyang was to avoid suspicion. After all, even if Chen Kefu is his son, Chen Kefu is now the emperor, and the relationship between father and son is sometimes very complicated in the face of the emperor's rights.
Chen Shen once stayed in the remote Hexi County, Luhan County, for more than 20 years, and was used to living in the border area. Before coming, he thought that the future might not be very comfortable. But after he arrived in Liaodong and inspected Liaodong with Chen Kefu, he had to be surprised to express such a feeling as paradise.
"The paradise is absolutely paradise. I have always heard of the bitter and cold Liaodong, but I didn't expect that your Majesty had completely changed Liaodong in a few years. Liaodong has been in the territory of our Central Plains dynasty for more than a thousand years, although Liaodong has long been within the territory of our Central Plains dynasty, few dynasties can truly manage it. But I didn't expect that Your Majesty actually managed this place outside the border so well. This is truly turning a barren land into the land of China.
.It is comparable to the teaching of sages. It must be recorded in history and praised by countless descendants since then. This is a great achievement." Although Chen Shen did not have amazing martial arts, he was considered a great scholar. In his opinion, even if his son Chen Kefu unified the world in the future, he could not be considered a great achievement. However, his Liaodong management was equivalent to turning Liaodong, a place outside the frontier, into a land directly under the Central Plains. This was a great achievement, which was almost comparable to Hanwu defeating the Huns and managing the Western Regions.
Chen Kefu, who was standing on one side of his golden armor and pressed the Red Sword with his hand, smiled and stood on the tower of the east gate of the nine gate town of Liaoyang City, smiled and pointed to the boundless and vast land, saying, "Your Majesty is so serious. Liaodong has been my Chinese world since ancient times. Everything I have done now is just a mere merit, and the achievements are overwhelming by my predecessors. But it is not my arrogantness. Your Majesty, please wait and see here. As long as I give me three or five years, I will definitely unify the world. By then, I will be able to free up my hands to completely conquer the entire Liaodong tribes and countries, and let them belong to my Chinese."
While speaking, the passion arose naturally and the momentum was not convinced by a person like Chen Shen.
"Not only that, in the future, I will conquer the grasslands, conquer the Western Regions, and even the far west, at the end of the ocean. By then, where the eagle flag is flying, the iron hooves of the Great Chen will step on, and they will all be my Great Chen territory."
Hearing Chen Kefu's next few words, Chen Shen felt mixed feelings. He didn't know how to understand the words his son had just said. Is it confident or arrogant? After all, even if it was Qin Emperor and Han Wu, no one dared to make such amazing words.
A peerless emperor like Emperor Wu of Han, who spent his whole life and reduced his leniency in the world by half, was only defeating a Hun.
Today, the Turks, who had already unified the grasslands, are no worse than the Huns of the Han Dynasty. Even the Sui Dynasty, which had been extremely powerful at the time, had been divided for hundreds of years and unified the Central Plains, could not directly face the unified Turks, and could only fight against the strong with the weak. Can the Chen army now really defeat the Turks head-on?
What's more, the Chen Dynasty had not only one Turk. Although he had ignored the affairs of the court and was at ease to be a Supreme Emperor, he had long heard that the other seven countries in the Central Plains were now ready to move, and even heard that the envoys from various countries had gathered in Xijing'an. He heard that the seven countries and the Turks were in Chang'an and wanted to form an alliance between the north and the south to attack Da Chen.
With one's own strength, we will face the whole world
Should this be called courage or ignorance?
Chen Shen's heart was full of worries. The hero could not resist the wolves and lost to four hands with both fists.
"Emperor, I heard that the seven countries in the Central Plains have formed an alliance with the Turks. With the power of one country, Da Chen wants to deal with the seven countries in the Central Plains and a unified grassland. Is this really a fight?" Chen Shen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes it is the right way to bend and stretch, but it is easy to bend too hard. It is also for the purpose of stretching behind you for a moment."
Chen Kefu just smiled when he heard this. He has heard this many times recently. He is too stubborn and arrogant to listen to others' aspects. Of course not, but sometimes, the direction of things is not something that can be achieved by compromise. All the progress of things is the result of his careful consideration. In the world today, all countries have long been willing to destroy him. At this time, where can he retreat?
When he had no choice but to retreat, there was only one battle. Chen Pojun, the least feared thing was to fight. If he wanted to fight, he would fight, fight in the sky and the earth, and fear everything.
What's more, who said that his enemy is strong and will form an alliance? Could it be that Chen Pojun would not form an alliance to find allies?
Chen Kefu smiled slightly, it is unknown who will win. If his opponent thinks he is sure to win at this time, it would be a bit too early to be happy. To be continued.
