Wu Nian has a strong character.
At first, the whole world was an enemy. The North competed with the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, hoping to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong. East war with Goguryeo.
Nan and Chu were fighting each other. At sea, they competed with the Fuso people for sea rights.
It could have been unnecessary.
It's just that he is aloof and disobedient.
That's the kind of guy we are. If you want to fight, I will fight. Chu, Goguryeo, Meng Yuan, Fusang, come on, kill them.
Now Fuso and Goguryeo have been defeated.
The neighboring countries that directly border Han are also simple and clear.
Northern Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, Southern Chu Kingdom.
Now Chu State has proposed that it wants to coexist peacefully with Han State. Of course, you can agree falsely. First, stabilize Chu State and destroy Meng Yuan.
certainly. Don't place your hopes on other people's promises.
You still have to be on guard. Xiong Wuwo is no ordinary person.
but. if.
Chu State really did not send troops because of this, which greatly relieved his military pressure.
Wu Nian nodded slightly and said: "Master Chen is right. Since ancient times, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Due to various reasons and a combination of circumstances, I and the Chu State became enemies."
"In my heart, I actually don't want to be an enemy of the Chu State."
"Besides, I have now defeated Goguryeo and Fusang. The territory is huge. It is very laborious to control it. If you are not careful, Fusang may escape from my control."
"I don't have the ability to attack the Chu State. Even if I invade the Chu State, I won't be able to control such a large territory."
"And if Han and Chu can coexist peacefully, then Liaodong's ginseng, fur, and Chu's silk, porcelain and other commodities can be transported by land and exchange what they need. It will be beneficial to both parties."
Wu Nian's attitude was surprisingly mild, showing the willingness of the two countries to reconcile.
Chen Ding bowed and said in salute: "What the King of Han said is absolutely true. The trade between the two countries will benefit both countries."
But that's not what he thought in his heart.
Just as Liu Zhixing expected. He entered Liaodong incognito and stopped and stopped along the way before arriving at Jiang County. He saw a lot.
Within the territory of Han, the people were prosperous. There are few people who are ragged, sallow and thin.
The walls of every city are tall and strong, and they look new.
Every city is defended by soldiers guarding thousands of households. The soldiers are well-equipped, physically strong and have high morale.
Such a Han country.
Like a ferocious beast.
It is natural for ferocious beasts to eat humans. Either send troops to the Northern Expedition or send troops to attack Chu.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
if it is possible. Let the Han Kingdom attack the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
But what if Han annexed Mongolia and Yuan? This King of Han, who now vows to make amends with Chu, will probably send his troops south without hesitation.
By then, a battle will still be inevitable.
Just let’s talk about it when the time comes.
There is even a 10% chance that we can reconcile with the Han Dynasty. Then Chu State must choose to repair it.
Chu, Goguryeo, Meng Yuan, and Fusang united to fight against Han for so many years. Not only was there no progress, but Fusang and Goguryeo were both destroyed.
Now Han's national power is so strong.
It is no longer possible to destroy the Han Dynasty.
As long as the two sides can repair each other, they can truly coexist peacefully.
You can open a border market, get married, or give Sui coins.
The two sides hit it off immediately.
Wu Nian asked Gongsun Sang to take Chen Ding down to discuss the opening of the border market.
"How is it? Do you think that I will send troops to Meng Yuan? Can the State of Chu resist sending troops?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked everyone.
Liu Zhixing stood up, saluted Wu Nian and said, "Probably. It seems that Chu State has realized that Xiong Wuwo cannot attack Han State."
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled.
What happened today is really interesting.
The Slavs and envoys from Chu State arrived at Jiang County at the same time.
The Slavs wanted to unite with him to send troops to Chu.
The envoy of Chu State hoped to make peace with him.
Not a good metaphor.
He is now like a gangster on the street, difficult to get along with.
Thinking of this, Wu Nian shook his head and said, "Ma Youguang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stays. The rest of the people can go back."
"Yes." Liu Zhixing led the officials to bow and salute, and then left Yin'an Hall in an orderly manner.
Ma Youguang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood alone in the huge Yin'an Hall, looking a little pitiful.
Ma Youguang is thin and average-looking. He looks like a monkey wearing a crown while wearing official uniform.
But he is very capable.
He is one of the old brothers from the Beishanbao era in Wu Nian.
There are a lot of things going on in Han State at the moment, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are especially busy. For example, Wu Nian is a person who firmly believes that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads.
He ordered the Ministry of Industry to open up new roads, repair old roads, and build water transportation in Youyan and Liaodong.
For example. Wu Nian handed over some of his knowledge to the Ministry of Industry. Let the craftsmen study it.
Just like before, Wu Nian built a blast furnace to make steel.
The Ministry of Industry has been studying some things for many years, but is still confused. Some things have made progress recently.
"Master Ma. Are there any recent developments in cement and steam engines?"
Wu Nian asked.
"Report to the king. According to the king's requirements, the cement has passed the standard. But the output is a bit low. As for the steam engine."
Ma Youguang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
What the hell is that.
The Ministry of Industry has been studying it for countless years, but can't figure it out.
"Go and have a look." Wu Nian's eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to stand up from the throne, and waved.
He is a time traveler.
But that doesn’t mean you know everything, and you don’t have a computer to search for information. I can only provide some ideas.
Whether it can be created or not depends on God’s will.
And it just so happens. Cement and steam engines are very important things.
In the current situation, cement can build roads and fortresses. City walls made of cement are much stronger and more durable than earth walls.
If Meng Yuan is captured in the future, some cement towns can be repaired on the border. Used to defend against Slavic attacks.
It will be of great help to stabilize the Northeast region.
The steam engine was the industrial revolution. Not to mention.
And start from pragmatism. If trains and steamships were built. No matter how big the territory is, it can be under the control of the imperial court.
Fuso, an overseas island, is also rock solid.
And from a military perspective. If you use trains to transport food, soldiers and horses.
It will avoid many problems.
War soldiers can avoid the fatigue of marching.
Food and grass can be avoided from the starting point to the destination. Ten pounds of grain and grass, only one pound, or even less, is left.
Transporting it by train does not require the consumption of food.
Just use coal.
Wu Nian took the Luan Yu out of the palace, and together with Ma Youguang, walked along the main road out of Jiang County City and came to a building complex belonging to the Ministry of Industry outside the city.
This building complex is very large, with many people coming and going, and it is heavily guarded.
