Yanghe Road East Road, General Mansion.
After three full days of deliberation, Yang Shanlu finally made a decision... That is to say, he basically agreed with his father Yang Sichang's opinion-then be an emperor! After all, I have to fight for my two sons!
But in the direction of the founding of the country, he had his own unique view, that is, Yang Sichang only focused on the surrounding areas of Daming, such as the Mongolian prairie, or the Liaodong area previously occupied by Tarzi, but Yangshanlu was looking towards it. Farther away... That is the island of Kalimantan (also called Borneo) in the middle of the ocean.
Kalimantan Island is south of Daming, about a thousand nautical miles south of Liuqiu Island (Taiwan/Wan Island).
The benefits of choosing Kalimantan Island are many. For one thing, the distance between the two parties is enough (a distance of two or three thousand nautical miles from Daming. If an ordinary person wants to walk from Kalimantan Island to Daming capital, he must go. In the last year or two).
With such a long distance, the two sides have sufficient buffer space, so that even if a new kingdom rises, the two sides can be in peace.
In addition, the territory of Kalimantan Island is also large enough. It is the third largest island in the world, covering an area of more than 700,000 square kilometers, which is almost equal to 20 Liuqiu islands. Therefore, it is vast enough to support it. Build a powerful empire (in later generations, there will be three countries on this island, India/Nepal, Malaysia/Lexia, and Brunei/Lessia)
And even better, after the establishment of Kalimantan, there is still a lot of room for development. Because of the unique location of Kalimantan, as the third largest island in the world, it is located in a series of islands, the Malay Archipelago. between.
And the entire Malay archipelago is composed of more than 20,000 islands, with a land area of about 2.5 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to six small days of land, so such a large area... wait until After occupying Kalimantan Island, and then developing around, the future prospects are unimaginable...
The third advantage of choosing him is that Kalimantan has a pleasant climate and rich products.
Even to what extent are the products on the island rich? Yang Shanlu has heard of such things in later generations. For example, the aboriginal people on the island are very lazy. They don’t do farming. They usually sleep on banana trees when they are tired, and eat some bananas and bananas when they are hungry. What, but this can fill your stomach and live comfortably, so you can imagine how rich the local products are! How fertile the land is!
And if such a good place is in the hands of the industrious and capable Han people, what kind of brilliant wealth can it create? Therefore, such a treasured land is like it was specially reserved for him by God... God does not take it, but takes the blame.
Of course, the world is so big, and there are many places to choose from. For example, Yang Shanlu is in many novels in later generations. I saw many people choose farther places, such as Australia/Australia and even North America where the country was founded.
But can those places be bad? But Yang Shanlu felt too far away. In any case, his roots are still in China, in the ancient East! So after he has taken Kalimantan Island, he can look at each other from the motherland across the sea, and he will have a sense of solidarity and a sense of blood connection.
And if Kalimantan is taken, there is a bigger advantage, that is, the previous generations of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, their kind of rebellion, change of dynasty, is just the Great King Banner of the city head, meaningless to the entire Chinese nation, or It doesn't make much sense.
But now it's different. With such an outlook, it will open up a larger living space for the entire Chinese nation and open up the territory for China. That is the real meaning! Only in this way, Yang Shanlu is willing to fight for it!
(And one more thing, later generations have a vivid metaphor for our motherland, that is, he is like a big rooster that announces the dawn, and Qiongzhou Island and Liuqiu Island are his two chicken feet.
But now? Yang Shanlu is about to turn Kalimantan into a big golden egg he laid! This greatly enhances the right to speak in the ocean! Expand the territory for my Han Chinese!
And by extension, didn't the subsequent generations of Annan monkeys always chirp about certain islands and reefs? And now that there is this big golden egg laying in the sea, if the Annan monkey wants to chirp, he doesn't have to be the mother of the motherland. With this big golden egg, he will be able to teach the Annan monkey to be submissive! So the benefits...)
And now on Kalimantan Island, it is very easy to take him down. Although Kalimantan Island is large at this time, the population on the island is not large.
For example, after various favorable conditions in later generations, there were only one to twenty million people on the island. Therefore, in this era three hundred years ago, it was estimated that there were only three to four million people.
And they are all local aboriginal peoples, Dayak/Korean people, Malay/come people, and there are a small number of Han people (Han people have migrated to the island in the Western Han Dynasty), so Yang Shanlu believes, Under such circumstances, he can absolutely control this place by immigrating five or six million people and letting the Han people occupy a dominant position! And wait until this place is really taken...
So after careful consideration, the next three people held a secret discussion. Yang Shanlu told the two of his thoughts. Then Yang Sichang and Wu Yunna were very surprised after listening. They didn't expect Yang Shanlu's eyes all looked so far away.
Among them, Yang Sichang is a little better. In other words, he is also the cabinet's second assistant, in charge of world affairs. He has heard of this place, but Wuyunna is miserable, and has never heard of this place!
However, after Yang Shanlu introduced Kalimantan to them in detail, the two of them were still very satisfied, and they were even pleasantly surprised... Unexpectedly, there is such a treasure!
And just like what Yang Shanlu said, this is a new start, and second, even after the founding of the People's Republic, he and Daming are thousands of miles away, and the two sides can definitely get along well.
"But husband, there is no grassland on the island..." Of course, for the princess Uyunna, there is a slight flaw in that the tropical rain forest climate there is mostly no grassland, so it seems impossible for her people to pass, but As long as her son can become emperor, this flaw is irrelevant.
(But Yang Shanlu would say that if you are willing, you can artificially create a small grassland of several hundred acres. After all, there are African savanna in such hot places in Africa. Of course, it is a savannah climate, but as long as you work hard , Small ones are still possible).
And after hearing this answer, Yang Sichang, let alone... The excitement was all in tears on the spot! So he can become the emperor? You must know that his original wish was to be a famous minister through the ages, just to get a posthumous posthumous title.
But now? Can you become an emperor when you are old? Or even the founding emperor of a generation? Although this throne was earned by his son, his efforts are also part of it! So such joy...
Just looking at the two very excited people in front of him, Yang Shanlu remained calm... Because he knew very well that making a decision is easy, but there is still a lot of work to do if it is implemented. After all, such a big thing is not He nodded.
Take the Xuan Jia army that he relies on as the foundation, he will have to find out his subordinates... After all, not everyone is willing to go far away.
Of course, Yang Shanlu is not Zhu Chongba, and he would never do anything like him... Even if someone is unwilling to follow him, he won't raise a butcher knife against them. They are all brothers. It's okay. Get together well.
So next, now that the decision was finally made, the three of them started to act separately... And Yang Shanlu, waiting until the day before the new year, is to summon his brothers, that is, the generals above the defense, a total of about 20 Many people, come to the General's Mansion for a casual feast.
Of course, the external name is to celebrate the Spring Festival, but since this time I want to test the attitude of these people, it is natural to make some arrangements. Although it will not be a horse, but it can also be used to see their reaction.
So after the generals arrived, at this banquet, Yang Shanlu ordered the chef to make a dish, which was the only dish in the Ming Dynasty—and its name was called Yitongjiangshan!
And this dish was originally available in later generations, but Yang Shanlu has made improvements now, that is, in a huge earthen jar, filled with a variety of delicacies in a pot, such as sirloin, beef louver , Ham meat, sea cucumber, flower mushrooms are such good things.
Then the dish was served, of course it was fragrant, but this was not the point. Faced with this unique dish in Daming, Yang Shanlu gave a warm introduction in front of many of his staff and emphasized this dish. The name of the dish is called Yitong Jiangshan!
Then in the next step, Yang Shanlu was in the stunned eyes of everyone. He took a spoon in public and put it in his bowl, and after tasting it, he repeatedly applauded, thus showing his attitude.
Then, in the gaze of Yang Shanlu, everyone's performance was different.
However, among them, the first to set an example was Liu Dabangmae, the personal commander of Yang Shanlu, who was an official position in the thousands of households.
In fact, with Liu Dabangma’s IQ, he doesn’t quite understand the meaning, but for him, as long as Brother Yang asks him to do it, he will do it without hesitation! So now that Yang Shanlu has set an example, of course he immediately followed up without thinking about it.
Then I saw Liu Dabangmao set an example first. Yang Shanlu’s old brother, the only two remaining in the five-member group, Han Wu, Qian Lanzi (also Liu Dabangmai), also unified one by one. Jiang Shan put it in his own bowl... As the two old brothers who have followed Yang Shanlu for ten years, there is no doubt about the degree of loyalty.
Then I saw someone taking the lead, and soon there was a third person, and the fourth person began to follow up. I have to say that the people who can achieve this position are basically Yang Shanlu's confidants, the old brother who has followed for nearly ten years! All can be entrusted to the back!
The reason why they didn’t immediately express their position at the beginning, but they just haven’t adapted... After all, as Yang Shanlu’s confidants, they all knew vaguely that the general they followed had no ambitions, so now they suddenly came here. …
It’s just, that’s great... Even after these people have made a choice, there are sparks of excitement in their eyes! And this is also very obvious. The so-called rising tide, if Yang Shanlu was only willing to be a loyal minister, their career career in this life would have almost reached the top, but now, if Yang Shanlu can ascend to the throne, they will have room for ascent. Can be greatly expanded.
So in this way, most of the more than 20 generals present had eaten this unifying country, but among them, there was still one person sitting motionless! Just looking at Yang Shanlu with doubts and puzzled eyes—and this person is the number one general under Yang Shanlu, Qi Zhenzong.
Even at this time, Qi Zhenzong's face was already obviously angry... How could this be! Do you want to rebel
As for the reason Qi Zhenzong has such an attitude, it is also very obvious... After all, who is he? He is a descendant of Qi Shaobao! After a generation of military gods, how can you be a prosecutor and a thief! Even if he and Yang Shanlu are relatives! (Yang Shanlu's cousin Sun Huiniang married Qi Zhenzong as his wife).
So, seeing a conflict is about to break out!
In addition, Qi Zhenzong’s identity is still extraordinary. As Yang Shanlu’s top general and minister of military training, almost all recruits have been trained by him when entering the camp, so he has extremely high prestige in the Xuanjia Army. If people are in conflict... (End of this chapter)
