A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 312 Huns?Do you really think that King Wen is Bai Laila?

Guilin.

The imperial edict came quickly, followed by a large amount of supplies, master craftsmen and other technical personnel.The Daqian Dynasty has rich experience in constructing water conservancy projects. From Yong'an Canal to Dujiangyan, these difficult water conservancy projects have brought huge profits to the Daqian Dynasty.

The construction of the canal was not simple. Wang Cheng sent people to survey a large amount of terrain, and finally found the place where the Li River and the Xiang River were closest, and prepared to build the canal here. Fortunately, the distance between the Li River and the Xiang River was It happens to have no hills and mountains, so it is very suitable for digging canals.

Wang Cheng took advantage of the survey of the mountains and rivers to defeat the surrounding Shanyue barbarians and captured a large number of prisoners, who were kept for the purpose of building the canal.

With these provisions and craftsmen, Wang Cheng began to lead these people to dig canals to connect the Xiangshui River and the Lijiang River.Connecting the Xiangshui River and the Lijiang River is not a simple matter of digging a ditch so that the water can flow by itself.

It should be noted that water flows to lower places, and the water level of the Lijiang River is higher than that of the Xiangshui River. If you want to make the Xiangshui River flow to the Lijiang River, the water will flow to higher places. This is not something you can do casually.

Fortunately, decades ago, when Li Bing built Dujiangyan, he used diversion technology to raise the water level.Wang Cheng studied it when he was in the Academy, and later went to Dujiangyan to observe it in person.

After inspecting the Xiangshui River, Wang Cheng and several master craftsmen discussed a structure to divert the water through weirs and dams.By cutting off the Xiangjiang River waterway and building dams to raise the water level of the Xiangshui River.The dam then diverts [-]% of the water into the excavated canal ditch, and the remaining [-]% of the water is introduced into the Xiangshui waterway through another ditch.

In this way, two canals are excavated in the north and south. The south canal connects to the Li River, and the north canal connects to the Xiangshui River. The water source of the north canal can also be used for irrigation through the ditches.

In this way, this canal can not only be used to transport materials, but also irrigate farmland, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Under the leadership of Wang Cheng, tens of thousands of people began to dig a canal between the Li River and the Xiang River.At the same time, all data, environmental conditions, etc. of this canal will be recorded and eventually sent back to Jinling Daqian Academy for data preservation.

While building the canal, Wang Cheng also began to reclaim land in Guilin and prepare to grow food.The Central Plains is too far from Lingnan. At the same time, the roads are difficult and the climate is hot, so we cannot always rely on Dagan to transport grain.

Wang Cheng is preparing to immigrate to Guilin in large numbers, moving at least 20 people from the Central Plains, and turning Guilin into a base for the Central Plains to control Lingnan.

This is a long-term project, and Wang Cheng plans to relocate 20 people in five to ten years.After there are 20 Gan people in Guilin County, the land of Lingnan will basically be stable.

Next, we only need to implement the method of king transformation, and this place will become the land of Zhu Xia.

Daqian, Jinling, Changyang Palace.

Wang Luo is listening to the work report from Shangshu Ling.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has once again ordered that the construction of Luoyang, the Holy City of Labor Conscripts, is progressing faster than expected, and it is expected to be completed next year."

"560 miles of Chidao have been built this year. Handan, Daliang, and Xianyang have all been connected, and Linzi is in the process of being connected."

"Thank you for your hard work, Wei Qing."

"Your Majesty, we are reporting from the northern border that barbarians are invading Jiuyuan, Beidi, Yanmen and other counties."

Wang Luo immediately sat up and said in a deep voice: "Xu Qing, are the barbarians invading the north now?"

"Your Majesty, the news just arrived today. The Hu people went south to plunder. The number exceeds 20. They should not be underestimated." "During the period of the Xia Kingdoms, Yan, Zhao and Qin all went north to attack the Xiongnu. I didn't expect these Hu people to dare to go south to plunder. !" Wang Luo said angrily.

The Hu people in the north have always been the enemies of Zhuxia, but because the Central Plains developed faster, there were more people, and the weapons were more advanced.The Hu people in the north have always been no match for Zhu Xia.Just rely on the war horses to come and go like the wind and plunder.

And most of them are scattered, and their strength is not too strong.After Wang Luo unified the Xia, he didn't pay too much attention. He didn't expect that the Xiongnu could already assemble an army of 20.

In fact, when Da Qian unified the world, many defeated nobles from the Six Kingdoms and nobles who were unwilling to accept Da Qian's rule fled to the northern Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu's strength has also grown rapidly, and now they dare to go south.Moreover, the news passed back by the border troops showed that the weapons used by the Huns were better than before, and there were even many iron weapons among them.

This has to be taken seriously by Wang Luo. Since the unification, Wang Luo has been busy promoting the same text in books, the same pronunciation in language, the same track in vehicles, the same system, building the divine capital Luoyang, opening the Chi Road, and conquering Baiyue.It can be said that the entire country is developing rapidly.

Wang Luo desperately wants to realize all his ideals and ambitions.He wants to become a true emperor who can surpass the five emperors and the three emperors of derby.

He knew very well that when he used the Divine Artifact of Destiny, his life span was shortened. Therefore, he always had a sense of urgency and was worried that he would not have enough time. Therefore, the tax collection and labor levy in the country have been increased a lot in recent years.

Now these Huns came to cause trouble, disrupted the development of Daqian and affected Wang Luo's plan, which naturally made Wang Luo very angry.

If we follow normal history, the rise of the Xiongnu occurred during the Qin and Han dynasties. This huge Xiongnu empire once suppressed the new Han Empire and even forced the Han Dynasty to marry the Xiongnu and send money.

He relied on sending women to marry him to gain nearly a hundred years of development time for the Han Empire. Finally, he rose up during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and fought against the Xiongnu. In the end, he spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to defeat the Xiongnu Empire and completely established his reputation as a strong Han Dynasty. .

Now that Zijue is here, do we still have to go out and send money to the Xiongnu and his relatives?

Then didn’t my dignified King Wen, the Divine Emperor Zijue of Daqian Taizu, come here in vain?

Daqian unified the world, promoted the development of history, and made progress in various technologies, which also affected the Xiongnu.The rise of this steppe empire, which is also on the rise, will inevitably conflict with Daqian.

This world is too small to accommodate two powerful countries. The Xiongnu and Daqian are destined to fight.If he could not defeat the Xiongnu, what qualifications did Daqian have to unify the world, and how could he win the hearts of the people.

Wang Luo immediately issued an order: "Xu Qing, ring the Jingyang Bell and ask all the princes and princes of Jinling to come to Changyang Palace to discuss and prepare troops and horses for battle!"

The melodious bells rang, and groups of casual riders rushed to various places in Daqian. The nobles in Jinling City also rushed to the palace.

In the third century AD, descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties established the Huai Kingdom to unify the Xia, ending more than [-] years of disputes, and established the most powerful country in the world at that time - Daqian. It was also the most powerful farming civilization in the world. one.

In the north of the Zhuxia civilization, there has always been a nomadic people living since the domestication of horses.Also because of technological advancement, nomads are also rising rapidly.The newly born Qian Empire finally ushered in its destined opponent, the Xiongnu Empire, a nomadic tribal country established by a coalition of grassland nomads.

It is impossible for two powerful empires adjacent to each other to coexist. After discovering the threat from the other side, war is doomed to be inevitable. ——"Cambridge History of China·Farming and Nomadism"
