Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

?Next page

　　 In the winter of the four years of Siheung, the sea in the old land of Southern Han Dynasty is still sunny and the temperature is high. The high white sails on the sea reflected the sunlight, and the waves crashed on the ship's side.

　　 This is a fleet of five light boats. On the middle warship, Wang Defang, commander of the Jiaolong Army, stepped onto the deck and looked at the horizon beyond the sea for a long time. Soldiers and sailors also stepped onto the deck and looked into the distance together. The black shadow on the horizon was the land!

The people who have spent countless days on the boundless sea did not cheer when they saw the land, but each breathed a long sigh of relief. Their faces tanned by the sun were a bit complicated...because of this fleet. At the beginning of this year, there were 21 warships when they set off from Haizhou Port (Lianyungang).

　　The commander of the dragon army and the army, Wang Defang, took 21 ships with him. After losing more than half of the crew, he finally returned.

　　 "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Dong Ding…" Oncoming Xu Jun's offshore warship, which was waving the red flag of King Xing's Mansion, soon two small boats rowed closer.

　　 The people on the boat looked up at the gun muzzle of the black hole on the side of the ship and the man in the imperial armor on the deck, and even shouted, "Xingwang Port is not far away. Can your army be on the shore?"

　　 A civil official next to Wang Defang responded: "Please lead the way by Xing Wangfu battleship!"

　　 The people on the boat asked to understand the number of this army, but even if it was rowed back, they didn't even board the deck... Those guns and equipment were only available to a large number of forbidden troops, and they were undoubtedly their own.

　　The local warship then led the fleet belonging to a large number of forbidden forces to the nearby Xingwang Port.

　　 After the ship broke down, the soldiers left the sea in batches and went ashore. Wang Defang remained in the cabin. He was very depressed, so he lit the lights and wrote memorials to play Tokyo that night.

　　 Listening to the sound of the waves in the harbour, night has gradually fallen, but the shore is brightly lit; whenever merchant ships and warships come to shore, it is always when wine shops and kilns are busy. The sound of the rhythm and the stray laughter were also faintly heard in the cabin. Wang Defang looked at the sea chart and a few packets of seeds he brought back, and pondered for a long time, hoping that the only things he had could spare him...

　　 Waiting for the soldiers who disembarked to return, Wang Defang only heard about the serious illness of the emperor this year and the domestic chaos, and he felt a little for a while. After one year of voyage, I feel the vicissitudes of life, and the dynasty that almost gave rise to this voyage no longer exists.

During this voyage, Wang Defang lost 16 warships, thousands of elite soldiers of the Dragon Army, and sent out a large amount of silk porcelain and jewelry, which cost countless military expenses. Compared with the Dragon Army’s large amounts of silver mines from Japan| Almost nothing!

　　 It was really not going well. They first went west with the food fleet, and they passed through Malacca as the official said, and arrived at Chula Kingdom (India). They presented credentials and gifts to the Kingdom of Chula and received some gifts in return. However, when returning to the voyage, the fleet encountered wind and waves, and several warships hit the reef and were overwhelmed. The big cannibal guide was also killed.

　　 Then Wang Defang lost his way and found the Strait of Malacca after wandering for more than a month. When he passed through the strait, he wanted to replenish water on the island and repair the ship. At night, he was attacked by the Chula people at night and burned a warship. After dawn, Wang Defang was so angry that he led his troops to ransack the two stockades, but he was afraid of the danger of being alone, so he hurriedly crossed the strait and headed north.

　　 After several twists and turns, the turbulent waves and reefs threatened Xu Jun’s fleet. When they finally returned to China, there were only more than two hundred people and five boats left.

　　... As far as Tokyo, Wang Defang received the imperial decree summoned by the emperor, and the memorial approval: the evil is in the present, and the merit is in the future.

　　 He quickly packed up and entered the palace miansheng. After passing the towering palace, Wang Defang came to the Yeezheng Hall. In the bright winter light, the highest ranking civil servants of the imperial court stood on both sides and cast their eyes on Wang Defang's face.

　　 The emperor solemnly summoned him in person, and Wang Defang stepped forward and knelt to the ground, saying: "You will be entrusted by your majesty, please come down!"

"Flat body." Guo Shao sat on it calmly, full of breath, and there were no signs of serious illness in the rumor. "Those major events that do not see benefits for the time being but have long-term benefits are the duties of the court, such as building water conservancy projects. , Open up the border and expand the land. The king has entrusted the following soldiers to cut through the thorns and open up new territories, and the achievements will be for the future. I make an decree to give compassion and reward to the sailing soldiers."

　　 Wang Defang said: "Thank you for your kindness."

　　 The ministers were silent, and even the privy envoy Wei Renpu did not praise Wang Defang, and the atmosphere was a little dull. However, Guo Shao's idea is obviously different. The ability to reach India by sea in the tenth century is a feat in itself, and it is not measurable military expenditure.

Guo Shao picked up the cotton seeds on the imperial case and spread it to the officials, and said: "Silk is exquisite, sparsely produced, and not strong, but linen cloth is too rough and not cold-resistant. Only cotton cloth is suitable for mass production, while Western cotton should be insufficient. It is limited to planting on the northwest border. Cotton cloth in the Western Regions is more expensive than silk. If the seeds that Wang Defang brought back can adapt to a wide range of climates, this is one of the great benefits of HNA."

　　 After hearing this, everyone had to shout: "Your Majesty is wise!"

　　 How true these echoes are, I don’t know. Guo Shao couldn't convince the ministers, even he himself couldn't find enough reason... But he knew in his heart that, according to the insights of later generations, pioneering the textile industry was a bright road for the world. Opening up business routes and obtaining as many raw materials and markets as possible is also an important way to stimulate trade and production.

　　 He outlined his unique overall situation in a dossier, and the “industry” written at the top became a crazy and distant dream. Guo Shao couldn't build a steam engine, and no one could build it at this time, but it was a direction and vision.

　　Wang Defang again denounced Zhu Luoguo in the Palace of Political Affairs, received the gift and the certificate, but attacked the large fleet in the strait. But Zhuluo is too far away, and there is no way at this time.

　　...... The next day, Sitian Supervisor Gao Shouzhen presented the "Star-Leading Board", which was highly rewarded by Guo Shao and commended his achievement to be tied with Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty.

　　Astrology has appeared since the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Gao Shouzhen also used this technique to calculate the position by observing the stars, but it is extremely difficult. Only people who are proficient in astronomical phenomena can understand this technique; its usefulness is only in the boundless sea.

　　 Guo Shao spared no effort to invest military expenditures on HNA, let Gao Shouzhen guess the holy will, so he summarized and produced the stargazing technique, and made it into a kind of instrument, which was called the "star board".

　　 Guo Shao didn’t understand this object at all, but according to Gao Shouzhen’s description, he thought it was an ancient crude version of "satellite positioning" technology. This invention greatly increased Guo Shao's confidence, and deep down in his heart, he has begun to brew a second voyage!

　　 Not long after the dynasty, Guo Shao gave a reward to a group of people, and Gao Shouzhen was also in the forefront of great achievements.

　　 Guo Shao did not go to court with the queen when he went to court, but today it is Concubine Li Xian, who brought the party to go to court. Guo Shao canceled meeting with the ministers at Yangde Hall that day, and went to Wushan with Concubine Li Xian during the day, and now he seems to be more in love with Concubine Li Xian.

　　 Li Xian concubine was favored, and the party leader Li Yiyin was exempted from serious crimes, and was given the title of Qin Guogong and the Governor of Pingxia Province. Soon Li Yiyin will go to Xiazhou to assume the highest position in the Pingxia area, and recall his fugitives to live in Tokyo.

　　Many officials and people talked about the fancy name of party beauty Li Yueji, because her beauty made her whole family cute. However, the Central Minister believed that the cause and effect of this matter were reversed... It was precisely because the emperor wanted to stabilize the Pingxia party and used Li Yiyin to buy people's hearts, so he loved Li Yueji.

　　 Yang Ye, Gao Yanliang, and Liu Renzhan were directly received by Feng Kaiguo for their military exploits in the Hedong War, and Feng Jiye was also Feng Kaiguo for capturing Li Yiyin. Great joy is up.

　　Zhe Dehan, Li Yiyin and others are Guo Gong; Yang Ye and other talented people with great achievements Feng Kai Guohou are very happy...

There are actually two systems for the title of Daxu. One is the title of the previous dynasty. There are kings with different surnames (for example, Fu Yanqing is the king of Wei), place names such as Guogong (such as Qin Guogong, Xia Guogong). This kind of title is only high in status. It has a reputation, and the actual court does not give salaries, which is equivalent to a kind of honor; while another kind of military attache's title obtained through tangible military service is a large number of unique noble ranks. The Duke of the Six Nations, the Founding Hou, and the Earl, have generous salaries and are hereditary in different levels.

　　The founding Marquis position that Yang Ye and others got was the latter. This type of title has real benefits, and it can continue to be promoted through military exploits.

　　 After Li Chuyun's death, his son inherited the founding father, but after Luo Yanhuan's death, the position of the protector was still empty. One of the six hereditary princes, sharing the world with the Daxu dynasty, the generals are all staring at that position; the chance of directly enclosing the prince is too small, unless the war of annihilation, the first to become the founding prince... this is The main reason for the excitement of the generals.

　　 Then the royal family set up a celebration banquet in Jinxiang Hall, and the monarchs and ministers celebrated together. Cups and cups are interlaced, silk and bamboo orchestras, dancers dance briskly on the wooden stage, and the cheerful and lively atmosphere seems to have gradually wiped out the months of haze.

　　 Guo Shao drank a lot of wine in public and left the banquet to rest in the Yangde Hall. At this time Jingniang came in, she stepped forward and said with a fist: "Your Majesty, Wang Shijun (Wang Pu) asked his concubine to report an important news from Cao Si."

"Let’s talk about it." Guo Shao poured tea and sobered up, and said casually~www.readwn.com~Jingniangdao: "Xiao Siwen of Liao State resigned as the Secret Envoy of the Beiyuan and became the King of the Beiyuan; Yelu Xiezhen was the new Beiyuan. Envoy of the Privy Council."

　　 Guo Shao heard this and immediately put the tea cup down.

　　The most powerful official position in the Liao Kingdom is the Privy Councilor of the North Court, in charge of the national military; the king of the North Court, Qidan, is named "Yi Li Jin", which is only one of the four major courts, nominally the chiefs of several large tribes.

　　 The siege of Yanmen Pass obviously made it difficult for Xiao Siwen to get rid of the relationship, so he resolved the domestic conflicts by giving up the highest military leader.

　　 Guo Shao pondered: "This is not enough to return Xiao Siwen, but it is a good start."
