Destiny Only Han

In the Qilu Plain in June, the sky is like a dome, clear and pure blue, like a piece of crystal clear blue crystal.

The only white cloud is standing in the middle of the sky, hanging alone, looking around the vast, quiet and desolate, but under this ancient silence, there is a scene of spears like forests and war horses neighing.

Today is the day when Liu Bang held a military parade in Qi.

People say that the army is full of thousands and boundless. At this moment, the army assembled here has as many as 12 people. Liu Ying is standing on the high platform, and as far as the eye can see, there are all black infantry phalanxes of thousands of people.

Amidst the rumbling of war drums, the infantry phalanxes waved their flags, advancing or retreating, standing up or sitting up, and their actions were uniform, with a special aesthetic feeling.

In the infantry phalanx, cavalry centurions galloped back and forth, shuttling endlessly.

A good fighter has no great achievements, and the ancients never deceived me... Liu Ying nodded secretly, gaining a deeper understanding of Cao Shen.

Then, he silently moved two steps to the outside, creating a distance from Liu Bang and the others.

The reason is very simple, the golden duo came back out of the rivers and lakes...

Liu Bang was still wearing the golden battle armor he had worn during the military parade in the Kingdom of Yan last time, and Lu Wan was also dressed in the same way.

Not only the two of them, but princes and kings such as Huainan Wang Yingbu, Liang Wang Pengyue, and Changsha Wang Wu Rui also have golden helmets and armor, shining with the light of local tyrants that people can't look directly at...

Well, it's a real rich man.

The armors on them are basically customized after the plate armor on Liu Bang, but what they pursue is not the best, but the most expensive!
Many parts on the armor are not gilded, but pure gold!

Therefore, in order to reduce weight, the armor on their bodies, not to mention being hit with heavy weapons such as axes and hammers, even a sword can easily break through the armor and hurt the fragile human body inside!
What surprised Liu Ying was that Lu Ze also appeared in the same golden helmet and armor, and even the helmet tassel on his head was particularly bright scarlet.

Perhaps, this is the legendary Mensao...

Liu Ying moved back a few steps again, only to feel that her calf touched something soft, so she stepped on it hard.

"Ow..."

Lu Shizhi held his feet and let out a miserable howl. He was watching Liu Ying's continuous movement, and wanted to stretch out his legs and trip Liu Ying...

Lu Ze turned his face away and frowned, his face full of displeasure: "I don't even look where it is, what are you shouting for?"

Liu Ying also crossed her arms and echoed: "That's right, uncle, you don't understand the rules too!"

Lu Shizhi glared at Liu Ying fiercely, and immediately stood up taking a breath, the words "harming others and ultimately harming oneself" welled up in his heart.

Liu Ying waited until Lu Ze looked away, leaned against Lu Shizhi, bumped him lightly with her shoulder, and said in a flattering, coquettish tone, "Uncle..."

Lu Shizhi shivered, feeling goosebumps all over his body, he shrugged his shoulders and rubbed his arms and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, disgusting!"

Liu Ying hugged Lu Shizhi's arm and whispered, "Is my uncle interested in becoming an official in Guanzhong?"

Well, since Lu Ze became the King of Lu, Lu Shizhi has been reading every day, and then went out for a stroll, fishing, and he has become a salted fish.

Therefore, Lu Shizhi shook his head and flatly refused: "No, I'm not interested!"

Liu Ying went on to say: "But what should I do if my mother misses you? Since my aunt got married, my grandfather followed my uncle and left Guanzhong, and my uncle also left... In such a big Guanzhong, except for me and my mother who just went to Guanzhong recently. Apart from Lu Tai, Lu Chan, etc., I have no relatives anymore!"

Well, he waited for little loli...

And his words are also deceiving Lu Shizhi, Lu Zhi is busy moving and training Qi Ji's thorny head now, even the cat is not so frequent, and he doesn't care about the so-called missing relatives at all...

Liu Ying's purpose was to fool Lu Shizhi into taking up the post of internal historian in Guanzhong.

Neishi is an administrative region composed of counties near Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State. It is in charge of the capital.

Although there is no Xianyang City now, the position of internal history still exists, and Zhou Ke, the doctor of imperial history, concurrently holds the position.

It's just that as the Han Empire gradually got on the right track, Zhou Ke, who was equivalent to the deputy prime minister and in charge of supervising officials, managing important national atlases and classics, and drafting edicts on behalf of the court, was too busy, so the position of internal history You need someone else to take care of it.

Liu Bang's idea was to transfer Zhou Changping, who was a lieutenant, to serve as the internal historian, and the original lieutenant position was handed over to Qi Ji, who is now the captain of the infantry.

Qi Ji is Qi Ji's biological father.

For the purpose of preventing problems before they happen, Liu Ying naturally does not want Qi Ji to take such an important position.

After all, the lieutenant at this time was in charge of public security and law enforcement in the capital, managed the central arsenal, and also led the city defense army to guard the capital.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Lu Shizhi quickly figured out that Lu Zhi was wearing a bright red palace dress, a phoenix crown on his head, and holding a snow-white puppy in his arms. Although he was on a high platform, surrounded by thousands of people Among them, but there is a hidden feeling of living in isolation, with a lonely and unhappy image...

There are many types of sister-in-law, one is to force a tigress to be a Persian cat, and the other is to despise yourself, but if others say it is not good at all, you will kill it...

So Lu Shizhi clenched his fists, struggled for a while and made a difficult decision: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Liu Ying held back her smile, nodded heavily, and immediately left Lu Shizhi with a resolute face behind, and walked towards the other side.

There, at Liu Ying's call, King Sushen came across the sea with some worthless goods.

"His Royal Highness, my friend!" King Sushen opened his arms, hugged Liu Ying, and then pointed to the army in the distance and said, "It's so spectacular! It's just that it's not as shiny as last time..."

What he said was not bright enough, referring to the fact that the Qi army in this military parade did not wear iron armor, but leather armor after remodeling and reprocessing.

This is a strategy of strong stems and weak branches proposed by Liu Ying and unanimously agreed by Liu Bang and others.

Except for the field army directly under the central government of Han and the army guarding the pass, the rest of the army cannot be equipped with new-style armor such as infantry armor.

After all, if a heavy armored army that can compete with the central government of the Han Empire is formed in the local area, then a war that will spread to the world is very likely to happen again!

Facing King Sushen's doubts, Liu Ying just smiled without explaining, and changed the topic and said, "I remember the king mentioned last time that he saw someone dressed like me on a certain island in the sea? "

King Sushen nodded and said, "Yes, they are on the long island south of the island we often go to. If the wind is right, they can arrive there in four or five days!"

Liu Ying recalled that the island that King Sushen said they often visited should be Hokkaido in later generations.

But this is not surprising, King Sushen's territory is about east to Vladivostok, and the trade goods he brought this time are a lot of leather and kelp laver, as well as many strangely dressed slaves.

And those slaves should be Ainu people.

So it also verified Liu Ying's conjecture. He looked at King Sushen and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, those people should be my clansmen, so I invited the king this time because I want the king to lead my boat to that island and bring my clansman back!"

"Well, it's not for nothing, I will pay the king a sum of money as a reward!"

King Sushen's expression changed, and he said rather angrily: "You and I, friend! Help a friend without charging money! If you want to give me money, you just look down on me!"

It's so simple... Liu Ying said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I think so. Because my boat can't carry so many people, so I need someone from the king to help transport my fellows. Come back, more people will cost more..."

Well, in the previous Chu-Han War, Qin had none of the navy left behind, and even fewer sailed across the sea.

Therefore, Liu Ying needed a cautious person to lead the way. In this case, she might as well bring some more people to act as thugs.

If the mercenary dies on the road, he doesn't feel bad...

King Sushen thought for a while, and revealed his cunning side: "Friends don't need money! Your Highness just needs to accept all the slaves I bring next time!"

His idea is very simple, anyway, he has to cross the sea and land on the island, so why not capture some prisoners by the way!

Liu Ying thought for a while: "How many people and ships can Sushen dispatch?"

King Sushen patted his chest and said: "Two hundred boats, more than 3000 people! Friends are busy, go all out!"

Liu Ying bowed her head and said nothing. One of his big ships can carry more than 100 soldiers. If you count other flat-bottomed sea boats, there are always thousands of soldiers.

Calculated in this way, there are nearly 5000 guards to welcome the family back home.

Five thousand soldiers who are good at fighting will be enough to flatten that small island even in a few hundred years!

He patted King Sushen on the shoulder hard: "Okay! It's like this between friends, you help me, I help you, slave, as much as you want!"

King Sushen grinned, "Do you still want the kelp?"

Liu Ying nodded: "Of course, the more the better!"

What he said was half true and half false, and now he still needs the kelp brought by the Sushen people, anyway, it is cheap enough, a copper coin can buy a big bag, and after transporting it back to Guanzhong, the profit can be more than a hundred times.

After all, it's a monopoly commodity...

In particular, Liu Ying once spread rumors before selling kelp that if you don't eat kelp, you will get a big neck disease!
Well, the big neck disease is goiter, which is called gall disease at this time.

It's just that the kelp trade with the Sushen people will last for another two or three years at most.

Liu Ying has obtained live kelp from other sources and planted it in the shallow sea area of ​​Jiaodong Peninsula.

In this way, the scene in his childhood memories of every family buying several packs of kelp during the festival will soon appear in the Han Empire at this time.

The trade of a penny and a sack will also be cut off.

Well, just like the high-priced dragon fruit and other tropical fruits that were sold in later generations, when Guangxi, Hainan and other places began to grow in large quantities, the dragon fruit in the supermarket changed from a dozen yuan a catty to ten yuan and eight ...
