    The news of Liu Fang's death reached Luoyang. Yang Guang was very sad after hearing the news. He issued an edict saying: "Fang Sugu inherited the temple strategy, respected God's instructions, drank ice and rushed forward, and saw danger as if it were a fortress. The sharp front pointed directly, unexpectedly, and all the whale salamanders were killed.  , The lair is salty, the service is no longer hard, and the overseas countries are cleared. I have devoted myself to the king's affairs, and my achievements are commendable. I can give them to Shangzhu State and Lu Guogong."

    ??????????????????????? However, the king of Linyi regained the territory and the land of Linyi was gained and lost again, but Yang Guang couldn't accept it.

    For the ambitious Yang Guang, although Linyi was remote, it was his first expansion of territory after taking office. He had already announced it to the world and established prefectures and counties.  If this was done hastily, everything done before would be in vain, and it would be a huge loss to Yang Guang's face.

    Therefore, although Yang Guang at this time did not know how far Lin Yi was from Luoyang, he hated Lin Yi.

    ???????? King Fanzhi of Linyi is also stubborn and doesn¡¯t know how to deal with things. If he takes the opportunity to go to the court at this time and beg to be a vassal, which saves Yang Guang¡¯s face, the matter may just go away.  If you are lucky, you can expect to receive a batch of rewards from the Heavenly Kingdom.  But Fanzhi, who returned to Linyi at this time, was so proud that he had defeated the Sui army and could recreate the glory of his ancestors who defeated the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, he did not consider the face of the Sui emperor Yang Guang on the opposite side. How could Yang Guang not be angry.

    At this time, Yang Guang summoned Huang Mingyuan and others to discuss the matter of conquering Linyi again.

    Yang Guang really didn¡¯t know the situation in Linyi. He only knew that this place was south of Lingnan and the climate was extremely hot. Therefore, even if Yang Guang wanted to conquer Linyi, he couldn¡¯t do it, so he invited everyone to discuss it.

    Lin Yi, no one knows what place that is.

    However, no one suggested sending troops to Linyi again. After all, in such a remote place, even if the opponent is defeated, he cannot occupy the land. Why bother to waste people and money and go to war again and again.

    But everyone knew Yang Guang¡¯s temperament, and they couldn¡¯t let him down on this occasion, so no one dared to refute.

    Yang Guang then decided to send troops.

    At this time, there was another dispute about the generals and troops who sent troops.

    Some courtiers suggested that the government troops from Henan and other places should be recruited to conquer Linyi in the south.  Huang Mingyuan suggested to Yang Guang that Lingnan has a special climate, full of miasma and pests. Many northern soldiers cannot adapt to the special climate of Lingnan when they arrive in Lingnan. Therefore, every time the central government goes south for expeditions, countless people die from illness, far more than those killed in battle.  If it wants to completely occupy Linyi, the imperial court can recruit soldiers from Jiannan, Lingnan, Jingxiang, Jiangnan and other places, and organize them into troops nearby to conquer, so that they can adapt to the climate and march smoothly.

    Yang Guang did not want the northern army, mostly controlled by Guanlong nobles, to march south, so he immediately agreed to Huang Mingyuan's suggestion.

    Huang Mingyuan recommended General Zhou Fashang to Yang Guang as the commander-in-chief to conquer Linyi.

    Zhou Fashang was born in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and later defected to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.  After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Zhou Fashang successively served as the governor of Ezhou, the general manager of Yongzhou, the Lingnan pacification ambassador, and the general manager of Guizhou. He had long-term pacification of Lingnan Road and gained significant prestige.  Moreover, Zhou Fashang was well versed in navy and infantry affairs, so he was the most suitable person to conquer Linyi.

    Yang Guang was also very satisfied with Zhou Fashang, so he agreed to Huang Mingyuan's suggestion.  With Zhou Fashang as the general manager of the Huanzhou Road march, he attacked Linyi again.

    Zhou Fashang was the old subordinate of King Yang Jun of Qin. Therefore, although he had made many meritorious deeds since his surrender to the north, he suffered from the lack of a backer and his official position became smaller and smaller.  Later, seeing that Huang Mingyuan was becoming more and more powerful, he took the initiative to make friends with Huang Mingyuan and formed a marriage relationship with Huang Mingyuan.  The second son, Zhou Shaofan, married Huang Mingyuan's cousin Liu Niang of the Huang family.  Huang Mingyuan wanted to extend his tentacles southward, but he didn't have a suitable candidate, so he specifically recommended Zhou Fashang as the commander-in-chief.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s cousin Huang Mingcong was the Chariot General of Luzhou Chaiqi Prefecture at that time. During the campaign against the Suizhou Liaoren Rebellion, he and Zhou Fashang served as generals under Wei Xuan¡¯s tent.  This time, under Huang Mingyuan's instruction, Zhou Fashang specially transferred Huang Mingcong from Luzhou as a general and went to Linyi with him.

    The imperial court appointed Zhou Fashang as the commander-in-chief and Huang Mingcong as the general. In fact, the entire conquest of Linyi was controlled by Huang Mingyuan.

    But that was not enough, Huang Mingyuan also named Ganzhou Sima Shen Ying as the marching commander.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Yi.  Although everyone in the court thought that this place was a barren land, the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it.  But Huang Mingyuan knew that this was a geomantic treasure, a place that China could never abandon.

    In Huang Mingyuan's view, the problems in ancient China and the final collapse of the political power all originated from the land issue, which further extended to the issue of food. More specifically, the output of China's land has never been able to meet the growth of China's population, which has caused countless dynasties to  At its peak, it declined due to food problems.  Once the land issue is resolved, the people will no longer cause chaos, and the country's basic situation will remain stable.Certainly.  With China's strong internal repair capabilities, there is no need to worry about Hulu and barbarians.

    And China¡¯s mainland is so big. Even if it is developed to the extreme, plus sweet potatoes and corn, it will be enough to support a population of three to four billion. But the problem is that Huang Mingyuan does not have the ability to find South America.

    So the only solution is to expand the living space.  But China is too big, and everyone is really unwilling to let them go from the fertile Central Plains to the barren foreign land.  Therefore, we must let everyone see the benefits of development, and in Huang Mingyuan's heart, Linyi is the most suitable place.

    "Compared to the whole of China, it is not worth mentioning, but it has advantages that the Central Plains does not have, and it produces a lot of grain.  In 2017, Vietnam alone produced 45 million tons of grain. However, the neighboring Guangdong and Guangxi regions, with a combined area and population far larger than those of South Korea, produced only 28 million tons of grain, less than two-thirds of Vietnam's.  .  This is because most places in Vietnam are hills and mountains. More importantly, Vietnam¡¯s rice production is still very low.

    Linyi accounts for about one-third of Vietnam. With the current production level, even if it is only one-tenth of the output of later generations, Linyi can produce 25 million stones a year. Even if there is a difference, then  If you fold it in half, it¡¯s more than 10 million shi.  If Linyi could subsidize tens of millions of tons of grain in the Central Plains every year, countless people could be fed.

    Huang Mingyuan made up his mind and took Lin Yi in his hand.  Based on Linyi, it extends to the Jiaozhou area in the north and the Mekong Delta in the south. It is the most important grain-producing area and is also rich in coal, iron ore and copper resources.

    If he really wants to compete in the world in the future, Li Yuan will ask the Long nobles to provide him with talents and resources, but he will have nothing to rely on.  Especially since his base is north of the river, because the peasant uprising has almost completely destroyed him, only Lin Yi can give him a blood transfusion.

    Huang Mingyuan has long been interested in Jiaozhou, Linyi and other places, but his power is all in Hebei and has no roots in Lingnan.  How could I miss such a good opportunity this time?

    Huang Mingyuan is also planning to build ships here and in Jiangnan to form his own private maritime fleet.  If the world is in chaos, the Sihai Merchant Group he built in the Central Plains will inevitably lose most of its business capabilities due to the war. Huang Mingyuan certainly does not want so many talents to go to waste. If he takes the opportunity to turn his direction to the ocean and connect Jiangnan and Nanyang, the future will be  The Age of Discovery can also come early.

    No matter what the plan, Lin Yi is an indispensable part of his future development.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
