Chapter 1893 Reality Problems
Regarding the set of reading materials "The Rise of the South China Sea", it is naturally not a rigorous historical biography. The real purpose of Haihan's official organization to write this nominal chronicle is to create a reasonable and legitimate reason for itself, so that Haihan A series of external expansion behaviors over the years can become justified.This is not only a textbook used to instill patriotic thoughts in the country's citizens, but also has the purpose of occupying the public opinion position in Ming Dynasty and other countries in the name of cultural export.
Although foreign young people like Li Luo have a high political status, their channels for contacting the outside world are relatively simple.You Yihan believes that there are only two main ways for the other party to understand Haihan. One is to piece together the image of Haihan by himself through the fragmented information introduced to North Korea through various abnormal channels; According to the detailed information provided by the official, this set of reading materials sold by Nanhai Bookstore belongs to the latter.
Compared with the little information about Haihan that Li Wei could get in the Gyeongbokgung Palace in the past, "Rising South China Sea" was carefully compiled by a large group of pens organized by the cultural and educational department. The amount of information and credibility of a person who served as a local high-ranking official in Ming Dynasty is far better than those groundless rumors.For foreigners like Li Lu who don't know the background of Haihan, it is easy to be attracted by the unheard of inside stories provided in the book.
For example, Haihan’s annexation of the Qiongbei area in the early years was described in the book as a high-sounding reason for “rescuing the people trapped in banditry”. In it, the army only played a poor supporting role in which the city was captured by the pirates and the outlying islands were driven away.Such a script is of course not objective, but Daming has always been ashamed to mention the fall of Qiongzhou Island at the beginning, after all, this is not something glorious.Haihan, on the other hand, stood from the perspective of the winner, made a new interpretation of this period of history, and dressed himself as the image of the savior.
The situation on Hainan Island was changing back then, and how Haihan changed from an armed gang living in a corner to a powerful force on one side. In fact, many insiders are still alive.However, there are really very few people who have the ability to stand up to question Haihan's statement and tell the public the truth. Either people will not believe what they said lightly, or they have already taken enough of Haihan's The good thing is that I take the initiative to seal this history in my mind and never bring it up again.
The information that readers can receive from this set of reading materials has been screened and screened by the relevant departments of Haihan. To put it bluntly, only the content that Haihan officials want readers to understand will appear in the book.Li Luo is interested in this set of books, and You Yihan is exactly what he wished for. If he can calm down and read all of this set of books, even if he is not completely brainwashed, at least he will have a new understanding of Haihan.
Just as You Yihan thought, Li Mo was immersed in the world constructed by this book at this time.How the hundreds of Haihan people who traveled across the sea to Hainan Island settled in the barren mountains and opened up a new world in the South China Sea is undoubtedly very special to him, who has been in contact with senior officials of Haihan recently. Appeal.
It is difficult for Li Lu to imagine the barren scene when the Hai Han people first landed in Sanya, but according to the book, there were only a few fishing villages in Sanya at that time, and the nearest county town was hundreds of miles away. Too much.But only ten years later, this place has become the capital of the Haihan Kingdom, and its prosperity is said to be the most prosperous in the South China Sea.Li Lue believes that the changes that occurred during this period should be recorded in this book.But he felt that as soon as he started to turn over the text, You Yihan sent someone to pick him up for lunch.
"Forget it, I'll study it later." Li Mo knew that it was not appropriate to refuse this dinner, and he really wanted to ask You Yihan some questions, so he could only put down the book at the moment.
"Master You, since this set of books is called the chronicle of your country, can I find the answer to your country's rapid rise in just ten years?"
Later in the private room of a certain restaurant in the urban area, You Yihan couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Wei's question: "The question raised by the prince is really too big. How will our country rise within ten years? It's really not something that can be said in a short while. To understand, there is actually no standard answer in that set of books. But since Shizi has considered this level of question, I believe that after reading that set of books, Shizi will learn something from it."
Li Lu felt a little frustrated when he heard this answer. He really wanted to hear You Yihan give him an affirmative answer, even if it was a hint, so that he could devote his energy to researching this set of books.But You Yihan's answer obviously did not reach a conclusion on this question. The only thing that is gratifying is that the other party still encouraged me to read this set of books, which may mean that this set of books does have research value, but it may not be as high as I expected. .
But he immediately thought, if the Haihan people wrote all their experience in governing the country into the book, and sold it to foreign countries, the Haihan people would not be so shrewd.Fortunately, You Yihan's answer reminded himself, so he didn't continue to follow this wrong train of thought.
You Yihan didn't expect Li Luo's thinking to be so biased, and his answer was just a matter of fact without taking a position.Haihan has never intended to teach other countries the secrets of governing the country, and even the promotion of political systems is not in the plan of the Executive Committee—the truly advanced things, whether it is technology or systems, Haihan will never let other countries spread out.
Young foreign aristocrats like Li Min who are very interested in all aspects of Haihan are not new to Haihan. For example, Zheng Zuo, the young prince of Annan, is one of the representative figures.But even though Zheng Zuo went to Haihan every year, and going to Sanya was like going back to his own home, the executive committee never sold this country's political system to him.It is good for these vassals to maintain the traditional monarchy in the countries around Haihan, and Haihan does not want their social system and government structure to undergo fundamental changes.
The situation in North Korea also has some similarities with the original Annan. They must rely on Haihan's support in the military to stabilize the domestic situation. The next heir went to Haihan to learn advanced experience in governing the country.Of course, whether it is Zheng Zuo or Li Wei, what they can learn from Haihan is only some administrative measures that Haihan designed to benefit themselves according to their national conditions and the relationship between the two countries, not what Haihan really used in own means of governing the country.
After all, Haihan's political system is too special, far beyond this era, and many of Haihan's corresponding governance measures are formulated based on this, and other countries will not be able to learn it for a while.
In which direction the executive committee wants to take North Korea, You Yihan, who is overseas, is not too clear about the plan of Victory Fort, but he knows that as long as he receives Li Min according to his past experience, there will be no major problems. mistake.
As for how many ways Li Luo can see from this set of books, that is not a problem that You Yihan needs to worry about. When he arrives in Sanya, most of the channels have a subtle influence on Li Luo. Whether there is such a link is not particularly important.
Li Yan finished the meal with a lot of thought, and was about to ask You Yihan to resign for the afternoon arrangement. You Yihan took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, do you want to continue reading in the afternoon? Why don't you go back to the guest house? It's more comfortable than sitting in the bookstore." , let the book be sent over.”
Seeing that the other party broke his mind, Li Min replied calmly: "I'd better go to the bookstore. There seem to be many interesting books there. It would be good to read a few more."
You Yihan had no objection to Li Mo's insistence, so he sent Li Mo to Nanhai Bookstore in a carriage.He had indeed arranged more visits for Li Luo, but since the other party is now interested in this set of books, he is also happy to be at leisure, and he doesn't have to hang around with Li Luo anymore.
Li Wei sat in Nanhai Bookstore for another afternoon, and finally read most of the first volume of "The Rise of South China Sea".At the end of this book, it has been written that Haihan assembled armed men to prepare for war, and prepared to cross the sea to Annan to assist the Annan court to put down the southern rebellion.At this time, it was less than a year since the Haihan people arrived in Sanya.
There are two things that impressed Li Mo the most after reading it. First, the Haihan people were able to organize an armed force capable of crossing the sea in such a short period of time. No wonder they were able to fight all over the South China Sea without rivals; It is Haihan who had experience in providing military aid to other countries across the sea as early as ten years ago. Therefore, it seems that there is a reasonable explanation for the hasty dispatch of troops to North Korea this year and the ability to do all kinds of pre-war preparations with ease.
Of course, in addition to outstanding military performance, Haihan's infrastructure projects and foreign trade during this period are also worthy of special mention.A series of important large-scale projects such as Shengli Fort, Tiandu River Hydropower Station, Tiandu Industrial Zone, Shengli Port, etc., almost all completed the first phase of the project during this period.During this period, Haihan sent two colonizers to Daming and Annan at the same time. One went to Daming Guangzhou to establish trade routes, and the other went to the north of Annan to open up the black soil port, a coal mine resource.
At the same time, Haihan also introduced a large number of immigrants from Daming and Annan to meet the needs of its own rapid development.This kind of operation of expanding the base while rapidly increasing the population may seem quite risky in retrospect, but Haihan has passed this dangerous period relatively satisfactorily, laying a solid foundation for future development.
However, these contents are difficult for Li Lu to understand the situation at that time, because he has never been to Sanya, and he has no idea about the key large-scale infrastructure projects mentioned in the book, so he cannot imagine Haihan's life at that time. How difficult it is to be long and go in to accomplish these goals.As for the voyage distance between Heitu Port and Guangzhou and Sanya, Li Lu did not have a precise understanding, otherwise he might not only be amazed by Haihan's military achievements.
Li Lu closed the book, thinking about a question silently in his mind-what reference value do these measures and means of Haihan's early fortune have for his country?
However, based on his experience, it is still difficult to understand why Haihan engaged in so many large-scale projects at the beginning of his foothold.He can understand the construction of ports and fortresses, but he has no idea about the functions of hydropower stations and industrial areas, and he doesn't know the significance of Haihan people's construction of these facilities.And at that time, Haihan didn't even occupy the nearby counties, so it was eager to open a branch overseas. This move also made Li Wei puzzled.
So back to reality, can North Korea follow Haihan's way of expanding abroad?The answer is clearly no, at least not for the foreseeable future.Several countries around North Korea have higher levels of force than North Korea, and none of them can be provoked by the current North Korea.If we follow the example of Haihan and go to Japan or the Qing Dynasty to occupy a piece of land to build a port and open mines, it will inevitably lead to war.As for Daming, not to mention, Li Wei didn't even take it into consideration.
Li Lue can only attribute this gap to "insufficient strength". He believes that Haihan has sufficient military strength as a guarantee, so that he can confidently skip the stage of insignificant development in situ and start performing overseas directly.And this unique way of expansion has won Haihan a large number of immigrant labor and trade channels, thus obtaining more resources for development.
But thinking about it this way, the problem seems to be back to a dead end. Haihan's measures are all based on the guarantee of force. To follow this rapid development method, you must first have a strong military strength, and Haihan's military strength seems to be Born, no one knows how they have so many powerful weapons and advanced tactics, they have been very powerful since the moment they appeared in the South China Sea.
Haihan has always strictly controlled the export of ordnance technology. Li Wei also knows that the munitions that his country can buy from Haihan are not the models with the best performance. There is a relatively large gap, and it is still difficult to emulate this method.
If Li Lu had more military knowledge, he would have realized that the gap in military strength between the two sides is not only reflected in the combat effectiveness of the combat troops, but also the gap in logistics supplies cannot be ignored.For the North Korean army to follow the Haihan army's combat style, it is not enough to have weapons and equipment. The combat style of firearms troops is more dependent on logistics than cold weapon troops. The North Korean army still lacks sufficient understanding and preparation for this. If the battle line is extended overseas, it will immediately show its original shape.
After thinking about it, Li Luo felt that all kinds of problems were finally attributed to military strength, but this problem seemed to be unsolvable, which really gave him a headache.
