Country and Beauty

Being as hasty as fire was the most obvious characteristic of Zhou Yang. After Zhou Yang received the order, he immediately ordered the various departments to set off for the acanthopanax. At the same time, he was also holding a meeting with all the high-ranking officers on his flagship Hanwu Emperor s.

Zhou Yang went straight to the point, "His Majesty has ordered us to head to the Central South Peninsula to fight against the The Republic of Korea, but you all must understand one thing. His Majesty had once said that war did not fight for war. The ultimate purpose of war was still for peace and stability. It is a system of violence that serves the purpose of promoting peace. "

Zhou Yang looked at all the generals and saw that they were all listening intently, so he continued, "If the Great Qin wants to go to the world, regardless of whether we open a maritime trade route with America or Europe, it is necessary to maintain the absolute control of the Central South Peninsula. This time our enemies are not the backward Native Americans, nor are they the newly deformed barbarians of the Pirate State. It is a super empire with the same long history and civilization as our Great Qin. The The Republic of Korea has already controlled the South Asia subcontinent, its territory is comparable to our Great Qin, and their army and national strength are even stronger than ours. According to our intelligence, the acanthopanax and the southern region of the Central South Peninsula are both under the control of our The Republic of Korea. His Majesty had also said that whoever took control of the sea first would control the world. The The Republic of Korea will not give way to us, so in this battle, our army must use our Qin Army's most powerful aura and might, and let the The Republic of Korea see the flag of our Great Qin and retreat. Only by beating them into submission will they obediently do business with the Great Qin, and will not have the intention of taking advantage of our Great Qin! "

The former commander of Jin Army's stonewall army, Shen Chong, had now become the newly adapted chief of staff and vanguard officer of Qin State. Jinshu Liecheng 68th "recorded:" The less the military books, the more heroic in the village. " This was another intelligent general who was being consumed in the internal strife of the Jin Dynasty. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms' generals were like the clouds, and their schemes were like the rain. In fact, throughout the dynasties, Yang Jian had established the Great Sui Dynasty. Were there not many notable generals?

Not necessarily? Even in the history of the weakest Song Dynasty, there were many generals who could fight. But it was destroyed by the internal conflict.

Shen Chong stood up and said: "We, Great Qin and The Republic of Korea are both superpowers, and we both have vast territories and immense war potential. However, the The Republic of Korea is definitely the hegemon of the South Asian sub-continent, and the strength of their oceans far surpasses our armies. The Great Qin had to face up to their existence if they were to develop maritime transport. Although the The Republic of Korea is almost directly on land with us (in this era, the Himalayas are still uninhabited), it is almost impossible for us to start a large-scale war on land. For a war with the The Republic of Korea, our navy is the main character.

"Because of the length and distance of the battle, no one has the ability to harm the other. If war continued to waste money, perhaps other countries would try to fish in troubled waters instead. Thus … This war is about to reach a new level. We have to beat them up in fear, but we can't place any unfathomable hatred on them. At the very least, it should be like this for now. "

The general of the Qin Army Navy had no objection to this mission, but at this moment, someone stood up and was about to make a statement. Shen Chong looked up and was slightly displeased. Last week, after history's execution, the eldest son and second son both died early, and the third son, Zhou Zha, inherited the title of General Jian Wei Zhou. Zhou Zha had conferred the title of Marquis to the East, his nephew Zhou Mao was a Marquis of the Clear Stream Pavilion, Zhou Jing was a Marquis of the Wu Kang County, Zhou Jin was a Marquis of the Du Family, and Zhou Xie was a Marquis of the Wu Cheng County.) In this world, Qian Feng did not become Zhou Zha's general. At the same time, he was very close to Shen Chong.

When Qian Feng heard this, she pondered for a while and said, "Master Shen, it seems that we still have to fight this war. We just have to minimize the number of casualties, so as to leave room for escape in the future."

Shen Chong nodded his head, "Indeed!"

At this time, Zhou Yang took the chance to say: "The less we kill, the less we kill, but the condition is that we have to take the initiative to attack, and only then will we be able to use force to suppress them. But if our army does not cooperate, and stubbornly resist until the end, then we must use a strong method to deal with them. His Majesty had once said, "The worst is the worst." At times like this, although killing is not a highly recommended method, it is still a necessary way to gain absolute power in a war! "

Xie Fei was now standing at the edge of the Yangtze River, as the surging waves were constantly hitting the huge rocks on the shore. In this war against the The Republic of Korea, Xie Fei originally wanted to take charge personally, but he was not qualified to do so in the sea, and there were too many factors involved in battles in the sea. Even if he won, he would be able to return with victory, there was no guarantee that there would be a hurricane, and it was possible that the entire fleet would be annihilated. Even later generations, when they encountered a hurricane, even a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier would have no choice but to retreat to the harbor to avoid the wind. Not to mention the wooden battleships of this era, in front of typhoons that exceeded level 10, these battleships were no different than toys.

The one who was most disappointed was not the battle-loving Xie Gai, but the normally most quiet Ran Min instead.

Ran Min pleaded with difficulty from behind: "Foster father, can you allow this son of yours to participate in the battle!?"

Xie Fei laughed, "War at sea and war on land are two entirely different concepts. War is not child's play, we have already let Ran Zhan down, we cannot let you personally take the risk!"

Ran Min was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, he did not know about naval warfare, he had joined the imperial guards since he was young, and the imperial guards were the training grounds for the Qin State generals. However, Ran Min stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, this humble subject knows that regardless of whether it is riding or walking, or fighting in the sea, they all have something in common. "In a place where it is advantageous, make the best use of the advantage of the enemy. In a place where the enemy is advantageous, make the enemy as good as you can, and make the enemy as good as you can."

That, and then the meridian, are exactly the same! "

Xie Fei waved his hand: "We have already made our decision, so there is no need to say anymore."

Ran Min opened his mouth, but no words came out. He knew that once Xie Fei made a decision, no one could change it. He lowered his head dejectedly, appearing to be in low spirits.

"At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from behind, as if someone had pinched his throat and was speaking." If we want to see the emperor, who dares to stop us? "

When Xie Fei heard this, he did not even need to turn his head to know that this was Sima Chi's most trusted servant, Chang De. Xie Fei said to the guards outside: "Let him in!"

Chang De took small steps as he jogged in front of Xie Fei. After that, he kowtowed nine times as he said, "Your Majesty, Master Hou has awoken. Master Hou wishes to see Your Majesty!"

The Master Hou that Chang De spoke of was the former emperor of the Da Jin, Sima Chi. This was the same reason that the Zhao Clan gave Li Yu the title of disobedience. This was just a fake title; it only had a salary, not real power. Xie Fei allowed Sima Chi to live a carefree life on Penglai Island.

Xie Fei wanted to say: "Announce him as an audience." But then he thought, after Sima Chi consumed the poison, he just went around the gates of hell and his body was not as good as before. If he went back and forth like that, he might not be able to take it. Xie Fei said: "Forget it, I will go and see him!"

On the day that Sima Chi surrendered, the Jianye Imperial Palace was retracted by Xie Fei, and became the same as the palace in the Luoyang. At this time, Sima Chi was living in the Jianchun Sect's Xiao Yao Hou Mansion.

This was originally Jin Chen's Liang Dian's residence. Back then, when Liu Zhong impeached Liang Dian, Sima Chi allowed it to be played, and even confiscated the Liang Dian's family property to the public. This mansion was then used by Xie Fei to temporarily settle Sima Chi down.

Xie Fei spurred his horse forward quickly, and in a moment, he was already in Jian Ye City. Under Chang De's lead, Xie Fei went straight to the Xiao Yao Marquis Manor! Xie Fei walked straight to the back of the house. At this time, Sima Chi was lying down, clothed in bed. However, this ordeal was also hard for Sima Chi to take.

When the imperial physician saw Xie Fei had arrived, he quickly kneeled on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Master Hou had the will to die. If not for the Emperor's miraculous antidote, the immortals would not have been able to save him!"

A death wish? Xie Fei coldly snorted, the meaning behind the Imperial Physician's words was that Xie Fei intended to force Sima Chi to death. If it was before, Xie Fei would definitely beat him to death with a punch, but now, his qi was much stronger than before.

Although Xie Fei didn't want to argue with a mere imperial physician, when he opened his eyes, the Imperial Physician was so scared that his clothes were drenched in cold sweat. He must not have experienced too much. How could he withstand Xie Fei's terrifying killing intent?

At this time, Sima Chi felt that something was amiss. Seeing Xie Fei walking over with a dark face, he screamed in fear, "Don't come over here, don't kill me!"

Other than the imperial physicians, the empress, imperial concubines, and a few others remained in the bedroom. Sima Chi's words confirmed the truth that Xie Fei wanted to kill him.

Xie Fei was so angry that he almost wanted to pinch Sima Chi to death.

Xie Fei suddenly said coldly: "If we want to kill you, if we don't go in front of you, we can also achieve our goals.

Sima Chi did not pretend to be crazy nor did he pretend to be stupid, what Xie Fei said was not wrong, he was the lord of the world, even if it was a sentence, with everyone as a god, if Xie Fei wanted to flatten Mount Tai, there would still be people willing to do it.

Looking at Sima Chi's dumbstruck expression, Xie Fei felt both angry and amused. He continued to speak: If we kill people, who can stop us? Do not think that a reputation of being narrow-minded would cause me to stop in my tracks. Since when has I not respected my reputation? In the battle of rami cordis, I have slaughtered millions of soldiers and civilians, why should I care about such a cruel and bloodthirsty name? I have initiated the war in the Western Regions to bring all the kingdoms within the Western Regions under my Great Qin's jurisdiction. In order to harm the north for a thousand years, it was I who uprooted all of them, and left the Huns with no place to stand on in the Central Plains. I who slaughtered all the races that killed my compatriots in the Han Dynasty to death, when have I ever held back from the name of being bloodthirsty and easily killed? "

Xie Fei turned around and said leisurely: "I don't care about my name, but what about the people of this world? I have suppressed the entire family, and the entire underworld. Other than that, they have also given me a few private chatters. When have they ever dared to rebel against me? I have created paper, created printing techniques, created an examination system, brought all the cold warriors of the world back to their hearts, all to my use. I do not lack talented people, if I leave the hereditary valve, I will still rule this world. In the eyes of some people, I am a heinous demon. I am a killing demon king, but in the eyes of the common people, I am comparable to the Holy Lords of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. "Reputation is nothing more than a name for nothing. I will not care about reputation if I am born without bringing it with me. A title like that is nothing more than the passing clouds in my eyes."

Sima Chi hesitated for a moment, he looked at Xie Fei and asked: "You're not going to kill me?"

Xie Fei laughed: What are the benefits of using makeup?

Sima Chi was startled, a cold light flashed past his eyes, and he sighed, then said honestly: "I was once the lord of the world, I am alive, the people who were loyal to my family must have thoughts about me, for the stability of the world, to sever the uneasy hearts of those people, I must die!"

Xie Fei laughed at the sky. After a short while, Xie Fei said coldly: "We were initially a Death Soldier from the Yang family, with just over a thousand Death Soldiers, we were able to build this foundation. At that time, you were sitting on the eighth or ninth seat in the Thirteen Regions.

Xie Fei continued: "Even if you are still the emperor of the Jin State, it would still be hard for you to escape defeat. This is historical fate, regardless of whether you believe it or not, the Da Jin was destroyed in the hands of you and your brother."

Sima Chi's eyes lit up, from Xie Fei's words, he heard some meaning. To put it simply, even if you were the lord of the world, I still wouldn't be afraid of you. This way he could live on. In fact, Sima Chi did not want to die either.

Sima Chi said: "Why is the emperor not afraid, the tiger returns to the forest, and the fish enters the ocean?"

Xie Fei stared at Sima Chi and said: "If Zhuge Liang has any ability, Ah Dou will always be Ah Dou. He will never be able to become Liu Bei's Emperor Auction."

In truth, Sima Chi was much stronger than Ah Dou. If he met a Prime Minister who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhuge Liang, he would not become the King of the Kingdom of Death.

Xie Fei was not interested in continuing the conversation between him and Sima Chi. He turned around and said, "Penglai is about a thousand miles away, it's a paradise on earth, four seasons are like spring, you should go and spend your last years in seclusion!"

On the main street of Zhengyang Gate in Jianye City, there was a magnificent house with two characters written in large characters, "Gu Mansion", written on a board in the middle of the house. At this moment, the Gu Estate was bustling with traffic and heads were swarming in front of the gates. Many Gangnam Royals and scholars were waiting at the gates.

The owner of this Gu Residence was the current Patriarch of the Gu Clan, Gu Rong. There was no end to the open rivalry and covert strife. The northern clan was led by the Director Wang, and below them were the famous scholars of the northern clan, Wen Qiao, Yu Liang, Wang Cheng, Bi Wan, Chen Yu, etc., while the Jiangnan Dynasty was led by Gu Rong, Ji Zheng, He Shu, and the others. Gu Rong, on the other hand, was the grandson of Gu Yong, one of the three great nations' scholars. In Jiangnan, there has always been a reputation, known as Jiangnan Wind Reputation.

As the head of Jiangnan Dynasty, Gu Rong had always been the wind vane of Jiangnan Dynasty.

Right now, Xie Fei was unifying the world, with one ruler and one official. After Sima Chi established his nation in the East Jin, he was recommended by Sima Rui to accept Gu Rong, and appointed him as a common rider.

Although Gu Rong was currently bedridden, all the Jiangnan Dynasty who did not know where to go came over to ask for advice. Gu Rong was the head of the Southern Scholars, and only he could direct the movements of the Jiangnan Dynasty.

Gu Rong said powerlessly while lying on the bed: "I know the reason for their visit, and only if they were to give up on it first will they get it! The general trend was unstoppable. There was only the ability to adapt and survive! "If you want to develop, you can only learn from the Yang family!"

In the Gu Residence's guest hall, countless reputable figures from Jiangnan were like ants on a hot pan; they were extremely anxious. With the descent of Jin, with the unity of the world, Jiangnan would be like the Jiangbei Qin State, and the end of the clan would come.

There were no longer traditional Scholars in Jiangbei. The advantages of land, culture, and privilege, these three typical hereditary valve s, would all now be in the hands of the emperor and Jiang Nan would also be subjected to the same kind of transformation. They should make a new way out!

"Brother Siyuan!" Ji Zhe's calligraphy) What does Brother Yan's words mean? " He Shun couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the leader.

"His eyes are bright and full of spirit." It was unstoppable! This is clearly telling us, do not go against the Qin State, Xie Fei is not Sima Chi, and the families of the provinces are the examples of this. He, the Demon King for Killing, is not called as such for nothing, if we go against him, it would not be the fall of a single clan, but the annihilation of our entire Jiangnan Dynasty! "

Everyone present was the head of the family, or perhaps one of the most important figures within the family. They all nodded, agreeing with Gu Rong's idea. The richer people were, the more they were afraid of death, and the more afraid they would be of it.

"It would be better to follow the example of the Young's." Ji Xing then continued: "Young's is not a family from the start, they are a merchant, and their wealth can be said to be comparable to a country in Qin State, but as a relative of the Young's, there has never been anyone in the who could be considered an official in the capital. In other words, it means that in the future, we must never try to interfere with the government and become a rich man!"

He Shun said in distress, "We are of the underworld, not those lowly merchants."

"There are three schools in Qin State, and their officials are selected from among the top three schools. If we, the children of influential families, want to be officials, it's not impossible, but we no longer have the right to recommend them. We can only be like those poor scholars and take part in the Imperial Examinations, and after we pass the first few levels, we will have the chance to do so. Thus, the path of an official became more and more difficult. Even if all of our descendents don't participate in the political affairs of the Qin State, there are still people who can rule the world. Right now, the political and military affairs of the Qin State are concentrated in the hands of the Emperor, this is the biggest difference. We have the right to have soldiers and generals. It's impossible for us, the disciples of Confucianism, to reason with those elders. They won't listen either! "

He Mu said, "Even if they do business, the Yang family has a title in the Jiangbei region, and even Jiangnan has many businesses. They have too many businesses, and we don't have any opportunities to compete with them!"

Hearing this, Ji Xin smiled, stood up and said: "Of course a family can't compete with the Yang family, but what about tens or hundreds of families joining all the manpower and financial resources? This way, he would be able to contend against the Yang family. To the south, north and south, regional differences are our advantage. Suzhou embroidery, silk, tea, these are all places where we are better than the Yang family. This is our advantage, we can transport the top-grade tea leaves, top-grade silk, exquisite embroidery and Jiangnan specialties to the north, producing great benefits. "

"It's not impossible to unite. However, how should we unite and how should we distribute the benefits?"

Ji Zhuo laughed and said, "That's easy! "We used 100 net worth of money and made 10 slots. If I paid 50 net worth of money, then I would have 5 slots. The amount of money invested and the benefits generated would be distributed according to this method!"

At the time of unification, the first large joint-stock enterprise in Chinese history was established.

According to the records of "Qin Guan", in the fifteenth and fourth month of Taiping, Jiangnan Merchant Union was established in the construction industry, and more than one hundred and thirty hereditary valve were formed. They included the Gu Clan, Ji Clan, Zhou Clan, He Clan, and more than one hundred and thirty other hereditary valve. In the end, the Jiangnan Merchant Union's overall strength surpassed the Young's's. In order to compete for the market, a fierce war broke out between Young's and the Jiangnan Merchant Union, who lost the war, while the latter, together with Liang, Peng, Hu Xie and eight others, formed a northern group, which started a fierce confrontation with the Jiangnan Merchant Union.

Later on, in the clash between the Qin State and the Roman Empire, the Jiangnan Merchant Union played an important role.
