Chapter 285 The Safest Province

Tianmu has not given an answer yet, but the ancients have already started to speculate.

Ying Zheng: "A place that is not contested by military strategists?"

"Could it be Shandong, the homeland of Qi?"

"After all, during the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world, there really wasn't much war in Shandong."

"It wasn't until the very end that we finally won it."

Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang also said with some doubt:

"Although the Han Dynasty is large, no inch of its territory is redundant. Every piece of land must be conquered through bloody battles."

"But although each province is important, when compared internally, there is naturally a ranking of importance and the severity of the war."

"Could it be that the land that is not fought over by military strategists is the one in Yunnan?"

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin gave his guess: "A province that is not contested by military strategists?"

"Could it be Jiangxi Province?"

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang guessed:

"This place of uncontested military strategy should be located at the border, but it is not the border that guards the country's border."

“Could it be Fujian Province?”

As Zhu Yuanzhang guessed, the sky curtain continued.

[This legendary place where military strategists do not fight for. 】

[It is the coastal province in southeast my country! Fujian Province! ]

[Why is Fujian the safest province in my country that has not experienced a major war for more than 2,000 years? ]

【It is mainly determined by the geographical environment of Fujian. 】

【First, let’s look at the location of Fujian Province. 】

【Fujian Province is located on the southeast coast of my country. 】

[The provinces adjacent to Fujian are Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Taiwan Province across the sea. ]

[Although Fujian is located on the coast, it is a mountainous province. ]

[The western part of Fujian is the Wuyi Mountains, and the central and eastern parts are a large area of ​​hills represented by Taimu Mountain, Jiufeng Mountain, Daiyun Mountain, etc.]

[The highest peak in Fujian Province is the main peak of Wuyi Mountain, Huanggang Mountain, with an altitude of 2160 meters. ]

[These two mountain ranges form the main framework of Fujian's terrain. ]

[This also means that 80% of Fujian Province is mountainous or hilly.]

[Plus the extremely high forest coverage rate and the rivers that run through it. ]

[You can imagine how difficult the road is. ]

[There is a saying in Fujian: The road to Fujian is more difficult than the road to Shu! ]

【Complex and rugged terrain.】

【It seriously hindered Fujian's external traffic.】

[Roads in Fujian Province are difficult to navigate, and it was very difficult to directly rule Fujian during the Qin and Han dynasties.]

[Not to mention the large-scale deployment of troops in Fujian.]

[It is difficult to use troops, and the cost of military operations is extremely high. ]

[If we insist on fighting Fujian, what will the benefits be? ]

【First of all, Fujian Province was not a major transportation route in ancient times. 】

[Whether it is attacking the Southern Dynasty regime located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. ]

[Or attacking the regime that controls Sichuan and Shu, there is no need to go through Fujian. 】

[So is Fujian's agriculture developed? Is it suitable as a logistics base for the struggle for world domination? ]

【Fujian's terrain is mountainous and arable land is scarce.】

[Commonly known as eight mountains, one water, and one field. ]

[We fought hard to attack Fujian, but the benefits after taking it were not high. ]

[A geographer in the Qing Dynasty once said: Fujian is located in a remote corner of the sea, and its terrain is difficult and dangerous. If you want to use Fujian as a base for the struggle for world hegemony, it is completely insufficient in terms of population, military force, money and food.]

[So if we occupy Fujian and don't think about conquering the world, but just want to establish our own territory, is that okay? ]

[Yes, but there is no future. ]

[In ancient times, if the northern dynasties wanted to unify the south, they would first try to conquer the Bashu region.]

[Then follow the Yangtze River, go downstream to attack Jingzhou, and finally go straight to Jiangdong! ]

[In this way, the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been taken. ]

【The rest further south have no ability to resist. 】

[Many times, when the northern dynasties took over the Yangtze River Basin, there was no need to fight for provinces in the south such as Fujian. ] [They could just issue an order to decide. ]

[Even if the separatist forces within Fujian have great ambitions, it is difficult to drive them out. ]

[It is neither a major transportation route nor a major food production area.]

[It is not suitable as a base for separatist forces.]

[However, this kind of military separatism has its disadvantages. ]

[In many cases, it is actually an advantage. ]

【In its more than 2,000 years of history, Fujian has rarely been the forefront of fierce military conflicts. 】

[It has become a place of no contention among military strategists in our country and one of the safest provinces. ]

[However, Fujian was a place that was not contested by military strategists in ancient times. ]

【But in modern times, the main military threat has shifted from the northern land to the sea. 】

【Therefore, Fujian's strategic position is also further improved. 】

【At the same time, Fujian is also the largest naval province in my country. 】

【Since the establishment of the modern navy in the modern Qing Dynasty. 】

[Fujian has produced more than 700 naval generals, accounting for the vast majority of naval officers.]

……

"Danmu: Fujian is too remote. In ancient times, one had to occupy the Central Plains to have the capital and confidence to compete for the world."

"You can tell it's Fujian just by looking at the title."

"Lin Bei is lazy and calls Rigasa Saidi Tao!"

"In ancient times, not fighting meant proving that you were not important, didn't it?"

"Fujian: I am not worthy of it."

"There are too many mountains. They are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are not many resources."

"Isn't it better not to fight? When you are competing for supremacy, you don't have to be displaced, your family will be torn apart, and when you settle down, you have everything you need to celebrate your return. Why would you need a bicycle?"

"I am from Henan and I think: Whoever controls the Central Plains controls the world. I feel a headache when I hear this!"

"I envy my friends in Fujian: I'm in Jinzhou, this place is extremely poor, but if there is a war, we might even have to eat mushrooms."

"The worst was in the Huaihe River Basin, where the army marched north and south, and the situation was turbulent. "

"Fujian is a blessing in disguise because it has too many mountains."

"It is difficult to travel by land in Fujian. In ancient times, Fujian students who wanted to go to Beijing for the imperial examinations would first travel by sea to Zhejiang."

"Emperor Wu of Han also attacked from both land and sea fronts."

"It's really hard to get into Fujian. When I was a kid, it took me three hours to drive to the city."

"Once the fight is over in other places, just notify Fujian."

"Is the Great Fujian Province referred to as the one that is determined by the order of the day?"

Although Fujian is a place that military strategists do not fight for, it is a place that immortals must fight for.

"Only when the Japanese were having fun, I really didn't hear much about fighting in Fujian at other times."

《It used to be an uncontested place, but it is not now! 》

And the ancients watched this video.

Basically everyone agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Looking at the history of China."

"This Fujian region is indeed a place that is not contested by military strategists."

"Chen Youding, who was entrenched in Fujian at the time, was a loyal henchman of the Yuan Dynasty and was loyal to the imperial court."

"And it only took me three months to take Fujian by land and sea, which was considered easy."

"But if what Tianmu said is true, the main threat in the future will come from the sea."

"Then Fujian's strategic position will be greatly improved."

"But let's talk about it."

"Although China is vast, is there any place that is truly uncontested?"

"The so-called uncontested land is actually just a relatively low priority, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking.

Content about the places that military strategists must fight for and the places that military strategists should not fight for.

At this time, a new sky appeared.

A man with a noble look appeared on the sky.

He has a resolute face, deep eyes that reveal his dominance, a thick beard, and extraordinary majesty.

In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang's full attention was attracted by this person.
