Sweep the World

Xie An has good swordsmanship and spear skills, but never considers himself a Titan. He is a person who has read a lot of books. Xianhan has already distinguished between the warrior and the war seeker, thinking that he should be regarded as a war seeker, not a brave warrior.

In the hypothetical background, the north of the Yangtze River was unified by the Husbands, but it was a new country where many ethnic groups did not trust each other. The king still treated all the different races equally. It can be seen how fierce the internal ethnic game should be. Know how many alien leaders are dormant and want to make trouble.

Dealing with a multi-ethnic country is nothing more than to provoke those ambitious peoples. First, they start with ethnic contradictions. There is no need to implement any special divorce schemes. There will be countless careerists who will make all kinds of troubles over and under the covers.

"The minister thought that Chief Hu needed a dignified victory to prove that he was destined." Xie An had already regarded a question and answer as a deduction, and said firmly: "Since Chief Hu wants to win an upright victory, the minister sends an envoy. Heading to the invitation meeting for hunting, Chief Hu was asked to retreat ten miles back because of the need to cross the river, as a hunting occasion, Chief Hu would definitely agree."

Liu Yan burst out laughing.

Fu Jian in history really wanted to win an upright victory and agreed to Xie An’s request to retreat. As a result, the Jin army shouted Fu Jian and was defeated. The former Qin army saw that Fu Jian’s Wang Qi was indeed retreating. It may be that he really thought that Fu Jian was defeated, or that the dormant careerists finally found a chance.

An 800,000 former Qin army that could throw a whip and cut off the flow did not fight in a decent battle, but was chased by tens of thousands of Jin army, and staged the largest defeat in history.

After this big defeat, Fu Jian didn't even have a chance to regroup when he returned to the rear. The tribes who originally appeared to be surrendered to cede their territories and relied on themselves, and the huge former Qin Dynasty collapsed in just a few years.

"With this big victory, can the Southern Army take the opportunity to expedition to the north?" Liu Yan smiled and asked: "Take this opportunity to recover the Central Plains?"

"Or can Yuzhou and Xuzhou be restored?" Xie An pondered for a long time and gave the answer: "I might not be able to restore the Central Plains."

Not only Xie An guessed it, but everyone who listened to it all guessed what was going on. Their understanding is that the so-called Southern Army should be the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the northern Hulu is one of the five Hus.

If the southern regime is something else, not the small Eastern Jin court, and 800,000 enemy troops have been defeated, the Hulu from all sides will fall into cannibalism. There is still hope for the Northern Expedition and the restoration of the Central Plains. The problem is that the Southern Army is the small Eastern Jin court.

They were all driven to the south to linger, but the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not appear to be united. On the contrary, the internal fighting was unprecedentedly fierce.

In the beginning, there were still many celebrities, aristocratic families, and scholar-officials who were determined to return to the Central Plains and made great efforts for this, but after Zuti and Liu Kun's Northern Expedition, everyone was disappointed.

Zuti’s Northern Expedition was the most likely to recover the Central Plains. At that time, he broke into Guanzhong and advanced into the Kanto area, but there were some people who didn’t want to see the situation get better, and the follow-up support did not keep up, and they even kept talking. On the hind legs, there was even a situation in which the insider secretly communicated to Hu Lu.

While Zuti's northern expedition army was fighting **** battles, the south was a scene of singing and singing day and night.

Then Zu Ti's army of the Northern Expedition was annihilated, and the day and night singing in the south did not stop, and the famous fight for wealth even took place in the middle.

No one cares whether the Central Plains can be recovered, and even the central government does not want the Central Plains to be recovered at all. It has become a strange number for the Northern Expedition army to wipe out the entire army, and those who have repeatedly called for the Northern Expedition have become the thorns of others.

The Yu family was one of the four main gates, and he almost surpassed Wang to become the first of the four gates. However, because of Yu Liang's repeated calls for the Northern Expedition, he really made actual actions for the Northern Expedition. As a result, the Yu clan faced continuous obstacles, both overtly and secretly.

Amidst the opposition from courtiers, Yu Liang led his army to the northern expedition.

Yu Liang led the army in amidst the sound of verbal abuse. Lucheng was lost before the battle was opened, because the Northern Expedition was difficult to carry out.

The loss of Lucheng is only a short record in the history books, but it has an embarrassing inside story. Under Yu Yi's later investigation, it was discovered that Lucheng was the result of deliberately caused by someone, and the purpose was to destroy the situation of Yu Liang's Northern Expedition. Even for this, they even decimated five thousand defenders, and threw the people of the whole city to the Hu prisoners for killing and torturing.

If there is a war that advances from south to north and finally succeeds, it will definitely not happen to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Perhaps it should be said that as long as the family and the family are not dead, a group of people who are still alive with only one mouth on the whole body are still in control of the government, and the situation of eventually dominating the world from south to north is impossible.

Liu Yan looked at Huan Wen who said similar views, and his surprise was not a little bit of surprise in his heart.

Indeed, in the long history of thousands of years, the only one who lives and develops in the south, but can send troops to dominate the world from south to north, is only the old Zhu family.

As for the principal? From the beginning to the end, he has not achieved true reunification, even in nominal terms.

"Qing meant..." Liu Yan asked curiously: "The Southern Soldiers can't stand the battle?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of this." Huan Wen was reluctant to carry this pot: "There are no soldiers who can stand up to war, only those who will kill the soldiers."

In fact, it will be clear after thoroughly speaking that the reason why the South was unable to dominate the world from south to north from the ancient times to the pre-Qin period until thousands of years later was nothing more than the merits of the elites in the north and south.

To take an analogy, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholars in the north wanted to dominate the world once again, while the scholars in the south wanted to separatize the rule. The elites in the two different regions have already distinguished the winners and losers from the level of thinking.

The group of people who want to defend their hometown, even if they have the opportunity to penetrate the north in terms of strength, but because only a few people want to penetrate the north, they will inevitably be more entangled and destroyed by the majority. In this way, it is considered very high if the same ten% of the strength can be used for half, usually it is not bad that ten% can be used for 30%.

It’s not just the case of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If you look through the history books, you will find that in the long history, ninety-nine percent of the elites in the south are "scumbags" or "conservatives." There are occasionally one or two enterprising people. , He will also become an outlier under the big environment, either succumbing to the big environment, or he will die young.

The same ethnic group has such a big difference only because of different regions, it is nothing more than life. To put it bluntly, the north is threatened by the grasslands at all times, but there is no enemy in the south. Human vision is all related to the growth environment, and the cultivation of ideas is naturally the same.

Liu Yan put forward a hypothesis in Palgong Mountain at the right time. There is nothing unexpected about military games, but he has to make the ministers think more.

The Han empire is also beginning to show differences between North and South. The more to the north, the place was either toxic by the war or was originally desolate, and the more to the south, the less devastated it was from the war.

In the generally comfortable South, even if there is turbulence, the living environment is still much better than that in the North. Without considering the restoration of war wounds, adapting to the times has become an inevitable development. The resulting phenomenon is the workshops and factories in the South. The number of new additions far exceeds that of the north.

The patrol team leaves Bagong Mountain and enters Huainan. It can be seen from many things that it is not a big town, and there is absolutely no shortage of small workshops. It is different from the north where the main energy is focused on farming recovery.

Arriving at the edge of the Yangtze River, it is indispensable to stop and see the scenery.

As the Yangtze River, one of the mother rivers of Zhu Xia, even without Liu Yan's intervention, the use of the Yangtze River is far greater than that of the Yellow River.

"It's not that the Yangtze River is suitable for navigation, nor is it that southerners are familiar with water." Sang Yu looked at the endless boats of the Yangtze River: "It's a difference in thought."

The northerners arbitrarily walk the beasts, and the southerners know how to ship. In fact, is it not caused by the living environment?

"The southern water system is criss-crossed, and the important aspect of using boats to travel far is car driving." Lu Yi thought for a while and continued: "It is difficult to obtain livestock in the South. Using water nets may not be a helpless move."

To a certain extent, it is really a kind of surrender with no choice. It is not because of the convenient water network. After all, people live on land. Whether they are on the road or transporting goods, there is always a need to go ashore using boats. At that time, it is not easy to load and unload with the current methods, and it is definitely not the final destination when it is landed.

The Jiangnan Shipyard, which belongs to Shaofu, has its main base in Kuaiji County (Hangzhou Bay), but there are several sub-bases, one of which is in Jiangdu.

The Jiangdu branch shipyard was the one who built the iron ship.

Jiangdu is very close to Jiankang, more widely speaking, it means facing each other across the river.

Today, the emperor’s patrol team appeared on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the bureaucrats who knew in advance naturally waited for the reception early, and the people who only knew later came out.

Of course, the people knew that they could not walk close to the emperor. They looked far away and found that the patrol team was not going to cross the bridge into Jiankang City. While wondering and disappointed, they were curious about where they wanted to go.

The military value of Jiangdu declined with the reunification of North and South. However, because Jingkou became one of the two major trading ports of the Han Empire, the military value of Jiangdu was reduced but not abolished.

One manifestation of the reduction in military value is that Jiangdu no longer has Jiangdu orders and is just a garrison.

Jiangdu, who had learned that the emperor would come early in the morning, had no shortage of preparations. Naturally, it would not be the garrison who was in charge of meeting him. The chief greeter was the supervisor of Jiangnan Shipyard, and the deputy greeter was Jiankang Ling.

First, the Forbidden Army drove in to conduct various inspections, and then took over the key points. When Liu Yan and Baiguan entered, he saw a clean place where there were no weeds on the ground.

"Farewell to my emperor!"

Supervision made the horse club take the lead in saluting.

Jiankang Lingyu and follow him.

Then there are a group of officials and outstanding craftsmen selected by the Ministry of Etiquette.

Although they are all kneeling, they are not kneeling, but worship. It's like sitting on your knees, not kneeling.

"Flat body." Liu Yan glanced over and found that there were more craftsmen than officials, and a smile appeared on his face: "Zhuqing, where is the ship?"

The boat is naturally in the dock, waiting for the emperor and Baiguan to come, first go up for a visit, and then move to the slide, waiting for the final launching ceremony.

There are sixteen docks on Jiangdu, and there is almost no chance of being vacant, one after another, and the new keel will be laid on the upper one as soon as the construction is completed, and the construction of new ships will follow.

The docks are not in the open air, nor are they concentrated in one plant. The smallest of the sixteen docks is to build inland watercrafts, accounting for eleven of them, and the remaining five are dedicated to building sea-going ships.

"Jiankang is one of the big cities in Han Dynasty, so you must not make a mistake."

With Yu Yi in front and Yu He in the back, the two nephews and uncles did not deliberately avoid others.

As an uncle, Yu Yi is very optimistic about Yu He, who can be a Jiankang order, as long as there is no mistake in the appointment, he can generally be reused later.

Yu He is Yu Liang’s third son. His elder brother Yu Bin was killed in the Su Jun Rebellion. His second brother did not serve as an official for some reasons. Yu Liang’s line was his early official career. First he went to the county to serve as a senior official at the county level. He became the county magistrate again, and became the new Jiankang order after Wang Meng left office.

"Your Majesty is here this time, you can't do superficial things." Yu Yi taught in earnestly: "Abiding by one's duty is the way to be an official. Health is based on stability, and there is no need to forge ahead."

There is nothing embarrassing for Yu He, and it is a blessing to have an uncle willing to speak so clearly.

As one of the two major trading cities of the Han Empire, Jiankang really needed nothing radical. Maintaining stability was the most correct way of governing governance.

When everyone came to the dock where the iron ship was placed, they saw a three-masted ship that was twenty-four meters long and eight meters wide. It was not carried by a wooden structure, but placed on a concrete pier.

The biggest impression of the iron ship is that it has a clear assembly line. A large part of the appearance is borrowed from the flying shear ship, but the hull is not long but has three masts, which looks crowded. Some.

Liu Yan looked at the black iron ship and knew it was painted. He deliberately asked, mainly about the fit of the skeleton, and it was not surprising that he learned that it was a joint.

Zhu Xia’s smelting process may not be the most advanced in the world today~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but he has mastered the welding technology early, such as many cold weapons need to use the welding technology.

"Have you tried sailing?"

"Back to your Majesty, yes."

Liu Yan nodded. He is about to come to inspect. How could the relevant personnel not prepare beforehand? It is inevitable to try to drop the ship into the water. Otherwise, if the iron ship sinks directly into the water, the trouble will be more than that. The joke is so simple.

"What is the maximum speed?"

"This... the maximum wind speed is only three knots."

Liu Yan nodded again. He thought he could run one or two quarters by the wind, but he didn't expect to run three quarters?

"The minister thought that it was unreasonable for the iron ship to be driven by wind. The minister had seen new warships and thought that mechanical drive must be the trend."

Liu Yan stopped and looked at the talking horse club, his eyes full of scrutiny.
