Destiny Only Han

Chapter 789 Liu Ying: In what age, are you still defending the city in the traditional way?

Under the simultaneous development of prefectures and states in the early Han Dynasty, there were regulations on the population at the county level.

A county with [-] households is a small county, and the highest officer is called the magistrate, with a yellow ribbon on the copper seal and a rank of six hundred to five hundred stones. From [-] shi to [-] shi, if the population of the county exceeds [-] households, it is necessary to relocate and collect the population of other counties, and re-establish a county in a nearby place.

This regulation is especially aimed at the vassal states.

Therefore, in this vast and sparsely populated environment, the Central Han Court re-established the former four counties of Qidi on the Shandong Peninsula under the rule of Qi.

That is, Jibei County, Linzi County, Jiaodong County and Langya County.

Especially Langya County.

This place has the benefits of fish and salt. It has been very rich since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, with a large population. The large population base means that the population is growing fast, and the fast population growth means that the central government of Hanting is encroaching on this place.

It's just that under the strong protest of Liu Fei and finding Liu Bang to judge, Qi State kept the most prosperous coastal city, Langya County.

Well, it is the place where the first emperor went on a cruise, where Xu Fu went to search for immortals, and where the stone carvings of Langya are located.

Under Liu Bang's mediation, Xiao He, who was then Prime Minister, had to take a step back and moved the seat of Xinlangya County to the north, to a fishing village on the plain at the foot of Mount Lao.

Well, roughly, it moved from the West Coast New District of Qingdao to Shinan District.

Therefore, Liu Fei returned with satisfaction.

After all, what counts most in Qi is the coastline and ports. If Xiao He wants it, give it to him. Anyway, compared to the prosperity of Linzi and Licheng (Jinan), what are a few small fishing villages (Qingdao) worth...

But there's always someone who's going to make an inch of it.

For example, in the northwest direction that is now renamed Qing County, among the lush and lush Laoshan Mountains, Liu Bang looked at a stone tablet in front of him with a face full of bewilderment, opened his eyes for a long time, and then asked weakly:

"Why does Naigong think that this thing shouldn't appear in this place..."

Liu Bang was "squeezed out" by Fan Kui... To be precise, he felt that being with Fan Kui was not fun, so he gave the command to Fan Kui. road:

"Yes, shouldn't this stone be in Langya?"

Behind the two of them, Liu Fei, who was climbing the mountain panting heavily, almost burst into tears.

The stele pointed by Liu Bang is the one bearing "Langya Stone Carvings".

When a pair of eyes came together, Liu Ying turned her face aside as if nothing had happened, and whistled until Liu Bang couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ouch……"

"What did Naigong ask you? Blow, blow it again and see Naigong!"

Liu Ying covered her head and explained with her mouth flattened amidst Liu Fei's expression of vengeance: "I moved the stone tablet from Langya Terrace here."

"Well, according to legend, when there were no stone carvings to suppress, the port of Langya County was sometimes stormy and stormy, and the sea water poured in, but after it was in place, the river was clear and the sea was quiet, so Qing County naturally needed stone carvings to guard it!"

"Not only the stone carvings, but there are also two iron oxen on the Jiaozhou Bay side, also to calm the waves..."

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, unable to laugh or cry: "You moved the stone carvings here, what about Langya County?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "The one here is not that one, it's an imitation, the same as the one on Langya Terrace, I found a master craftsman to make it later, it is absolutely fake, let alone the Sea Dragon King who doesn't know a lot of big characters, just Didn't even Dad and Uncle Lu see it?"

Lu Wan was silent for a while, and asked, "Is that true?"

Well, he actually already had an answer in his heart, but he just wanted a clear answer.

Liu Ying said with a smile:

"Of course it has already been transported to Chang'an! I plan to wait a while to build a royal museum in Chang'an City, which will specialize in exhibiting some historically significant things."

"Like stone carvings."

"Not only "Langya Stone Carvings", but also "Yashan Stone Carvings", "Taishan Stone Carvings", "Zhifu (fú) Stone Carvings", "Dongguan Stone Carvings", "Jieshi Stone Carvings" and "Kaiji Stone Carvings" , especially "Langya Stone Carvings", there is even a piece from Qin Shihuang's period, and a piece from Qin Ershi Hu Hai!"

"Exhibiting in the same row, increasing tourism performance and cultural value..."

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, too lazy to delve into the inexplicable words that Liu Ying said from time to time, he just put his waist on his back and asked very confidently: "What about Naigong's?"

Liu Ying gave a thumbs up: "Of course there are... Don't tell me yet, after the museum opens, Dad, you can go and see for yourself... Well, this is called keeping a sense of mystery!"

Liu Bang snorted coldly with disdain, and looked at the blue sea and blue sky in the distance with his hands behind his back.

After noon, a sailing battleship as huge as a city came into view on the sea level, riding the wind and waves.

"This is the flagship of the navy you mentioned? It's really not small!" Liu Bang nodded frequently, and suddenly frowned: "Why is it still a black flag? Didn't they inform them about the change of color?"

Lu Wan walked over and said, "Perhaps the ship is located in the sea, so the news is blocked..."

Liu Ying shook her head:

"No, I have notified them a long time ago, but I don't plan to let the navy fleet fly the red battle flag..."

"After all, when a boat is sailing on the sea, black is the main character of water, so it's more or less a lucky draw, and it's more auspicious than the red color of fire virtue..."

"Besides, don't you really think that under the blue sea and blue sky, black ships, black sails, and black flags have an inexplicable romance?"

"Romantic?" Liu Bang smiled and said nothing.

Lu Wan on the other side also made the same expression, just shook her head and said: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, you are now the emperor, and the ocean division has also been renamed the Royal Navy. Since it is the Royal Navy, then you can do whatever you want. ..."

Liu Ying put her hands on her waist and looked arrogant.

This is money ability.

Nowadays, ocean-going sailing warships are getting bigger and bigger, and a full-staffed giant warship costs hundreds of millions of dollars. Although the treasury has money, Cao Shen is not willing to spend at least half of his tax revenue every year to build ships.

Anyway, according to Cao Shen's calculations, relying on the current number of ships, it is enough to maintain Han's dominance in the ocean area!

As for the lack of capacity, it can be made up by merchant ships such as flying clippers.

Therefore, it is better to save the money in the treasury and use it for other purposes.

Such as railways.

With the opening of the Changjiu-Kowloon Railway, everyone has seen the changes brought about by the railway, as well as the wealth rushing like a tide accompanied by the roar of the steam train.

So several domestic railways started construction at the same time.

For example, starting from Chang'an, the Changji Railway leads to the northern country of Yan, starting from Chang'an, along the Sanchuan Tokaido to the Changhai Railway, and so on.

Although there are bonds issued at the social level, the bulk of the construction of railways still depends on funding from the treasury.

But in fact, most of the money in the treasury was taken by another group of people.

army.

After all, the Han Kingdom is a country with the tradition of the Continental Army. Although the pressure on the northern frontier defense is almost negligible today, the Western Regions Protectorate has already extended its tentacles to Turkmenistan in later generations. Today's Dayuan Kingdom, Southwest and Jiangnan also frequently Encircle and suppress the barbarians in the deep mountains.

Therefore, the standing army of the Han Dynasty expanded from the previous 30 to 50...

Coupled with some well-known reasons, the annual budget, the first thing to cut off is the funding for the navy...

Because of this, the sailors sailing deep blue were renamed the Royal Navy. Whether it was shipbuilding or recruiting sailors, all funds were allocated from the emperor's private funds in charge of the Shaofu.

Therefore, this is the reason why some concubines privately slander Liu Ying as a prodigal son...

But Liu Ying didn't care about this, especially when standing in the port and watching a huge monster moored in front of him full of oppression.

Money, where to spend it!

..............................

Liaodong County, Chengnan Campus.

The drums are rumbling, and the killing sound is loud!
Fan Kuai stood on the commanding platform, waving the command flag in his hand, and commanded the soldiers drawn from various vassal kingdoms to practice formations.

At this moment, he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, the North Route Army he commanded was all troops from the Fan Kingdom, otherwise he would definitely make a big fool of himself in front of Liu Bang and Liu Ying!
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, the army led by the princes and kings was forbidden to possess firearms, so the tactics and tactics of the soldiers drawn from them were still completely in the era of cold weapons.

The phalanx advances and fights close to each other. While paying attention to orders and prohibitions, it pays more attention to the soldiers' personal martial arts level.

But the army directly under the Han State is completely different.

After all, no matter how good your kung fu is, no matter how thick your armor is, you can't resist the bombardment of muskets and artillery.

Therefore, when fighting, it is necessary to expand the front as much as possible to make it easier to take advantage of the lethal advantages of muskets and artillery. The coordinated operations between infantry, artillery, and cavalry are also different from before.

Invisibly, this eliminated traditional military generals such as Fan Kuai.

"Sure enough, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the back waves beat the front waves to death on the beach...Liu Yingcheng did not deceive me!"

Fan Kui sighed softly, regardless of his age, he is not very old, so he can start over and study hard.

But some people, if they are too lazy to fight, they will be doubled.

For example, Fan Kui at this moment is thinking about when to invite Han Xin to give a lecture to Mrs. Fan...

Fan Kuai knew very well that compared to him, Han Xin was a poor man who raised a large family, so he would easily bow down for five buckets of rice...

Well, if five buckets of rice is not enough, just one stone...

This is the reason why Fan Kui still respected Han Xin even after Han Xin publicly despised him and expressed his unwillingness to be in the same rank with him as a dog.

Of course, Fan Kuai's guilty conscience was more of a concern.

After all, Fan Kui had already remembered that the Chu soldier who was sent flying out with a shield at the Hongmen Banquet, snatched the sword and taunted him a few times, is now the Marquis of Huaiyin...

........................

Southern Liaoning Peninsula.

In early summer, people here should be busy with farming, but the haze of war hangs over everyone's heart.

Especially those refugees with a family and a mouth, with a disheveled face.

They were the people who had been robbed of all the stored food, clothes and bedding by the soldiers sent by Weiman.

However, although Jizi North Korea has lived in a corner for nearly a thousand years, the vast majority of them have accumulated some survival wisdom.

For example, the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Just like the famous quote in the movie "Dark Knight".

Farmers are the most cunning, they don't give rice when they ask for it, and they don't have it when they ask for wheat. In fact, they have everything, everything!Lift the floor and look, if it is not underground, it is in the storage room, and you will definitely find a lot of things, such as rice, salt, beans, wine... Go to the depths of the valley to see, there are hidden rice fields.

Therefore, when the soldiers who plundered and left satisfied disappeared, they found the cloth, food, and salt hidden in the cave far away from the village, and then fled with their families.

To the north, work in Yan country in the north.

They have already heard that the Yan Kingdom in the north is extremely rich, with vast farms, a lumberyard that is always short of people, and a super-large workshop that can accommodate tens of thousands of people!

Oh my god!
Tens of thousands of people gather together, how many wild vegetables and steamed buns to eat every day...

The men and women who migrated to the north kept swallowing their saliva, imagining the deliciousness of wild vegetable steamed bread with kelp soup, and trekking hard.

Another group of people chose to migrate south.

Although the south is also very cold, but I heard that there are many plains, so that they can continue to cultivate the land. The important thing is that there is the Chen Kingdom, a country with a loose tribal alliance.

It is well known that in such a country there is no question of taxation.

Because either you don't hand over a single grain, or you hand over all the grain, as well as your own body...

Therefore, most of the people who migrated to the south were relatively wealthy and could eat at least one meal a day. Although they were not tall, they had strength.

Armed begging for work, that's all they want.

..............................

Wang Dangerous City.

Weiman walked along the city wall from east to west, from north to south, from west to east, from south to north, and finally stopped on the tower, looking at the slowly flowing water flowing by the city. nod.

It became.

Immense!

The biggest miscalculation of the Han army lies in their arrogance and self-proclaimed state of etiquette!

Before the war, it is necessary to issue a call to arms and submit a letter of war.

pedantic!

Could it be that the little emperor of the Han Dynasty didn't know what it means to be quick in soldiers, and to be cunning in soldiers?

From this point of view, the Han Kingdom is nothing more than that!
Wei Man sneered, especially when he turned his head and looked at the row of trebuchets hidden behind the tall city wall, he was full of confidence in defeating Han!
These big guys, known as gravity trebuchets, were learned by him when he was under the command of Yan Wang Zang Tu.

He hid it for more than 20 years, in order to seize the country and then build it for his own use!
Ji Zhun, that old lady really thought that if she stripped herself naked and rolled into a burrito, and put it on her bed, she would treat Ji Zhun as her own son?

Innocent!

But now that I think about it, it's a bit of a pity.

Although the old woman is old, she actually has a special charm. It's a pity that the old woman was not in the city during the mutiny, otherwise it would be very good to keep her here...

As the crescent moon rises, Wei Man stands on the top of the city, thinking of defeating the Han country here, forcing the Han people to agree to become the vassal state of the other party, and handing over the old woman...

As a result, Wei Man's blood boiled suddenly, he suddenly untied his robe, tore off his trousers, and pointed a bean sprout to the sky...

....................................

Langya County, Qing County Wharf.

In the distance, there are crowds of people, gongs and drums are blaring, and groups of soldiers of the Han army in the port are boarding the ship one after another.

Although their faces are full of sorrow...

The main force led by Liu Ying is [-] armored cavalry from Guanzhong. They are particularly good at the dangerous way of fighting, galloping and shooting, but they have a fatal weakness.

Afraid of water.

They laughed at themselves while trembling.

A man who grew up on the Loess Plateau would be dizzy at the sight of a bathtub on weekdays, but now he is really promising, and he actually wants to board a boat and fight across the sea...

That's the sea, the misty waves are vast, and there are those big fish that are not much smaller than the house!
Although the emperor said that whales are not fish, it was funny, do you think they are stupid?

What is swimming in water but not fish?
dog?

In the silent complaints, the Guanzhong men led the horses onto the big ship in an orderly manner, and walked into the pitch-black cabin under the guidance of the crewman Lou who kept rolling their eyes.

Here is where they will live next.

"Hmph, it's a good thing that these guys with gills on their faces have a conscience. They dug holes in the ground early on, and fixed them with iron rings and chains..."

"Really? Then after I go to sea, I will tie myself to it..."

"Over there, hang a butt curtain on the horse's buttocks. If the horse's boat gets on the board, I'll let you lick the ground clean!"

..............................

Mount Mangdang.

On the deck, the crewman wearing a black sea soul shirt was busy, raising the sail that was much wider than the hull, and adjusted the angle according to the captain's order, so that no matter which direction the sea wind blows, it can be used as a big ship Forward momentum.

Liu Ying stood at the bow of the ship, her body fluttering in the wind, she sighed and shook her head.

I knew that I should just bring a woman out from the harem, so that after the big ship goes to sea, I can stand on the bow and cosplay Jack and Rousi...

But he changed his mind and decisively rejected the last idea.

Ominous.

"Bah bah bah..."

"What are you doing... ouch..."

Zhang Buyi wiped the saliva on his face full of grievances, and glared at Liu Ying with disgust.

Liu Ying turned her head, and Quan asked as if nothing happened: "You are not staying in Guanzhong, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Buyi shook his head and said: "Zhiyang said that you are the most cunning, let me come over to supervise you to fulfill your promise, so as not to be deceived by you again this time..."

"Again?" Liu Ying was full of indignation, and accused loudly: "You feel your lack of conscience and think about it, how many good things my sister took away from me? Isn't it just a few horses, as for sending someone here?"

"Thirty horses." Zhang Buyi corrected him, and immediately said with a smile: "Zhiyang said he asked me to supervise you, but in fact he asked me to protect you. After all, you are his only younger brother..."

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, a little moved but not much, and said with a straight face: "I ride a thousand horses, and I need your protection? Take ten thousand steps back, and in all fairness, when something happens, who will protect the other?" ah?"

Zhang Buyi was stunned, and said stiffly: "They both carry a head on two shoulders, who is worse than the other! Last time I was not prepared, if there is a next time, I will never lose!"

Behind him, an old Peisi accent sounded.

"Then are you ready now?"

In an instant, Zhang Buyi shuddered like a mouse seeing a cat, and hastily turned around and bowed to salute: "I have seen the Supreme Emperor..."

"The Supreme Emperor?" Liu Bang became more and more dissatisfied, and accused: "The first hero of the Zifang, how could you have such a useless son? When I was young, I thought you were smart and quick-witted. How did you become like this when you grow up?"

No nonsense, he didn't marry your daughter when he was a child... Liu Ying curled her lips and complained silently.

Liu Bang is still outputting: "Should I say that you are only tall but not capable? Or are you living your age like a dog..."

"It's almost done..." Liu Ying finally couldn't help but came out to smooth things over: "My sister said something, Zhang Buyi ran from Guanzhong to Langya all the way, without credit or hard work? As for the nagging?"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "Little bastard turned against you! Why, do you think that Naigong on the boat can't stand firmly, so he really can't catch up with you?"

Try it... Liu Ying swallowed the words that were about to blurt out, and said with a smile: "There is an old saying in Guanzhong that a son-in-law is half a son. Dad, you also said that father and son are soldiers in battle. Now it seems that the words have come true..."

"That's right! Naigong raised the three-foot sword to take over the world, but he still has no destiny on him?" Liu Bang puffed out his stomach proudly.

In Zhang Buyi's relief, Liu Ying gave Liu Bang a thumbs up, and then walked slowly over, half snuggling and half supporting Liu Bang, pointing to the distant sea and said:
"It's near the sea, and the water is still not clear enough. I heard from the boatmen that if it is a little farther from the coast, and the sea is blue, even this kind of giant ship is like a flat boat. It really makes people feel daunted and yearning..."

Liu Bang was silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh: "No matter how yearning you are, it has nothing to do with Naigong... It is your young people's business to go to unknown places to find out..."

Liu Ying smiled: "Don't say such depressing words, although you don't have the power to explore, you can enjoy the success! It's like the dancers from the Western Regions who were filial to me by the King of Kucha. Didn't you tell me to go away?" ..."

Can this be said?Be good... Zhang Buyi's eyes widened, he wanted to sneak away but couldn't find the right angle.

Liu Bang's face darkened suddenly, he kept muttering about the color of your eyes and the color of the things you see, he is an old man who is sitting upright, watching songs and dances is just admiring the beauty...

Liu Ying didn't question this, after all the tiger penis wine in Shaofu's warehouse was all new, not even a bottle of old...

Liu Bang muttered for a while, and suddenly realized that he had already discussed this matter with Lu Zhi, and gave Liu Ying a bitter look, planning to beat him up again for wearing a hat.

So Liu Bang was in a good mood immediately, and his eyes wandered around the deck until he saw a big guy wrapped in oilcloth.

"So big?"

"That's right..." Liu Ying glanced down subconsciously, and immediately looked at each other with Liu Bang who was stunned for a moment, and laughed twice.

"Well, the [-]-pound naval gun of this ship is a gift I prepared for Weiman."
