Chapter 1620 The Maritime Silk Road of the Ming Dynasty

Gao Tianlu is a native of Hebei. He used to be a soldier. Later, he became a peasant association instructor and devoted himself to peasant work.

Later, he shined brightly in the land reform work, and made a lot of contributions in the land reform actions in Shanxi and Guanzhong. He gradually accumulated merits and was promoted to county magistrate and prefect, and finally became the provincial governor.

When it comes to land reform, Gao Tianlu is an absolute expert, and his work methods are not rude.

Compared with the brutal work method of shouting and killing, which was very common in those days, his work method is more gentle and rational, and does not take killing as the ultimate goal.

He believes that revolution is not a riot, and everyone is not a bandit leader Shanzhai king or something. Although you must be enthusiastic, you must not lose your senses. You must convince people with reason and establish a new set of rules, rather than simply destroying and leaving a piece of chicken feathers. .

So his work performance is very good, and the damage caused is very small.

Because of his rationality and calmness, he was valued by Su Yonglin. After his tenure in Hebei, he was transferred to Annan Central, directly under the jurisdiction of the General Administration, to build a base for Daming's national power to radiate to Southeast Asia.

His work in Annan is very good. He has initially built the Daming National Grain Reserve Base on the Red River Plain and built a large number of collective farms.

These agricultural achievements have greatly increased the annual grain reserves of the Ming Dynasty, so Gao Tianlu's political achievements are very conspicuous.

This time, letting him lead the team to support the post-war construction of the Champaign state can demonstrate the importance that Ming has placed on the Champaign state.

The series of work methods and precautions he proposed are unheard of by the top leaders of the new Champaign Democratic Republic.

Having noticed the difficulty of governing the country and the lack of talents to govern the country, Cha Quan decided to set up a government affairs team headed by Fan Wenba and Lin Qian to follow Gao Tianlu to study around the clock.

After the Champaign state was completed, Chaquan also wanted to organize some cadres from the Revival Society to follow Gao Tianlu to learn the knowledge of state governance. Now everyone can fight, but there is really no way to govern the state. .

Gao Tianlu is very happy with the curiosity of these young brothers. He does not hide his secrets, and he imparts some of the experience he has accumulated over the years to these young brothers without reservation, hoping that they can build a new brand on this land. democratic republic.

This was not only what Su Yonglin had instructed him, but he himself also wanted to see the establishment and prosperity of the Champaign Democratic Republic, because it would prove the feasibility of Su Yonglin's theory of world revolution.

Previously, regarding the theory of world revolution proposed by Su Yonglin, there were some doubts within the Revival Society. They felt that doing so would be of little significance to Daming, and it could not guarantee that a theory that could survive in Daming would also survive abroad.

However, Su Yonglin insisted, so he deployed revival organizations in Dali, Zhancheng, Korea and other places in advance.

In Dali and Goryeo, the results of the revival organization were limited, because they failed to mobilize enough arms in time, the establishment time was still short, and the Ming Dynasty started it, so it failed to reflect the feasibility of the world revolution theory. Not much help.

But Champaign is different.

Daming did not plan the activities of the Champaign Revival Association, nor did he give them an order to start revolutionary actions. The Champaign Revival Association has autonomy in its actions.

And they have been a political and military organization from the very beginning. They have mastered the armed forces from the beginning, and the development is very convenient, which is an advantage that the Renaissance organizations in other countries do not have.

Because of this advantage, the revolutionary action of the Champaign Restoration Association has relied on, and it is very decisive. Although Chaquan has some shortcomings, it has a big heart that ordinary people do not have in deciding problems.

Originally, Gao Tianlu thought that without the help of the Ming army, Chaquan could only defend the city and wait for the Ming army to come to aid in order to defeat Zou Yana's strong army, but they did not expect that they could defeat Zou Yana with their small number of troops and defeated Zou Yana. The battle made a name for itself.

So much so that the Ming government and the Ming army were impressed by this young team and thought they had a great future.

Su Yonglin was very happy after hearing the news, and instructed the Annan Central Government as soon as possible to do everything in its power to help the Champaign Revival Society gain a firm foothold, establish a democratic republic, and guide them to build a country, so that they could avoid detours.

Once the Champaign Democratic Republic has gained a firm foothold and established its nationwide domination, it will become the most direct result of Su Yonglin's theory of world revolution.

Their success will directly reverse the current lack of interest in the world revolution in the revival of the Ming Dynasty, making this theory no longer a theory, but a reality.

After the success of the Champaign Revolution, Su Yonglin will use resources to promote revolution in more countries, and the internal opposition will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Su Yonglin's expectations for the Champaign Democratic Republic are very high.

Now it seems that these young, promising and vigorous Champaign Revival members are indeed very organized and combative. As long as they can further enhance their professionalism and master the ability to govern the country, the development of the Champaign Democratic Republic will be obvious.

If the Champaign revolution is successful, Gao Tianlu feels that it will be a great encouragement for Daming, then the next actions for the Kingdom of Bagan, Chenla and Sanfoqi should not be a paper plan .

In the current Southeast Asian region, in addition to the land of Annan that was conquered by the Ming Dynasty and the Dali Kingdom that was wiped out, there are mainly three large-scale unified countries such as the Kingdom of Bagan, the Kingdom of Chenla and the Kingdom of Sanfoqi, and their other It subordinates some semi-independent small countries and tribes.

These three countries have a strong presence in the Indo-China Peninsula, the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea. The Daming version of the Guangzhou Tonghai Yidao, the Maritime Silk Road, which Su Yonglin advocated, was mainly built through the influence areas of these three countries.

Once the Maritime Silk Road is opened, it can directly lead to the Middle East, and then connect Africa and Europe.

From the current point of view, in the five or six years of Hongwu, Su Yonglin began to arrange manpower and material resources to travel to the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, trying to open up the Maritime Silk Road, and looking for transit stations along the way suitable for Daming to enhance Daming's national influence force.

And today, eight years later, this plan has indeed made great progress.

In the past few years, until the ninth year of Hongwu, this plan was still in the stage of exploration and drawing.

From the tenth year of Hongwu, the Daming National Navigation Department, which is affiliated to the World Liaison Department of the Renaissance Society, finally gave a detailed action report and began to carry out operations.

According to this detailed maritime report, the Maritime Silk Road in Daming still mainly started from Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and then passed through the land of Annan and began to reach overseas.

The main route is to first arrive at Champaign State, followed by Sanfo Qi State, Bagan State, Shina State, Selan State, Zhuyan State, Nanpi State, Gulin State, Gur State, Majia State, and then arrive at the final destination. Debesri country.

As for the names of these ancient countries, Su Yonglin didn't understand quite a few of them at first, but after comparing them with the maps in his hand, he roughly knew the "identities" of these ancient countries.

For example, the country of Shina, which is located in the area of ​​Bangladesh, is an ancient local country.

Selangor refers to the island of Sri Lanka.

The Kingdom of India is located in the southern and southeastern regions of India, and controls the southern coastal areas of India.

South Piguo is on the west coast of India.

The old country is located in the coastal areas of northwestern India.

The Gul Kingdom is naturally the Gul Dynasty that was beaten by Daming and then obedient, and their southern borders are also on the verge of the Indian Ocean.

Majia Kingdom, on the Arabian Peninsula near the coast of the Red Sea, seems to be a port city or country.

The final destination of Besri is in Egypt.
