A pivot point.
This is a question that Liu Zheng needs to consider now.
As his sphere of influence grows larger and larger, his eyes will definitely be on the entire world.
Europe.
That's what he needs to pay most attention to.
Perhaps because of his own time travel, the world began to become complicated. These big guys from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries all appeared in the world at the same time. Although Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, has died, as time goes by, a more terrifying existence will emerge, and that is Napoleon.
Liu Zheng had a headache.
Perhaps because it promoted the historical process, Britain's Industrial Revolution has naturally entered a mature stage. At this time, many top talents emerged in Britain and began to promote the development of science and technology in various fields.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
Fortunately, he was prepared for this. Wangbei Academy has now become a place for him to cultivate scientific and technological talents. He has also introduced many talents from the West. Rhodes has made outstanding contributions in this aspect.
all in all.
Liangzhou's technological capabilities are now slightly ahead of Britain's.
This is true whether it is agricultural technology or social technology, including military technology.
but.
The difference shouldn't be huge. At the beginning of the first industrial revolution, the speed of human technological development began to increase quite rapidly. In this regard, Liu Zheng still needs to think more and invest more money.
funding.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng smiled bitterly again.
At this time Jiang Xuan came over and took over his guard duty. After Jiang Xuan led his members of the Dark Night Legion and successfully showed their faces in front of so many vassal kings, he was temporarily appointed by Xie Tianyao as the deputy commander of the cavalry for this funeral. Feeling that Liu Zheng was worried, he naturally wanted to take on more responsibilities so that Liu Zheng could take a break.
But this seems a bit embarrassing.
Because Liu Zheng didn't give himself a carriage in the first place. In this situation, even the old fox Zhu Zhen is walking. With his identity and level, how dare he have any car?
"Here, here!"
Xie Chan, on the other hand, didn't care about this. She stuck her head out of the car window and waved at Liu Zheng.
ah?
Liu Zheng looked confused and smiled bitterly.
He felt that the moment Xie Chan shouted out, many eyes were looking at him at the same time. In these eyes, there was envy, jealousy, and malice...
Like a thorn in the back.
Although the two have had physical intimacy, they are not married yet... Xie Chan is now Xie Tianyao's favorite Princess Longyang, so in full view of everyone...
But looking at Xie Chan's expectant look, Liu Zheng still came over.
"your Highness……"
Liu Zheng still hesitated.
"Why, do you still want to run away and be with that vixen Gu Jin?"
Xie Chanxing stared at him.
Liu Zheng immediately begged for mercy and quickly got into the car.
The fragrance immediately hit her nostrils. Looking at Xie Chan at this time, after she truly became Liu Zheng's woman, she already had some real charm that belonged to a woman. After two and a half days of busy work, Liu Zheng was also very excited when he saw this atmosphere of a beautiful woman. Feeling sleepy came over me. Since he was here anyway, he didn't care about anything else. He just sat on the bench in the carriage and laid his head on Xie Chan's soft thighs.
"Ah, what are you doing!"
This shocked Xie Chan.
The maids serving Xie Chan nearby also blushed and suppressed laughter.
Regardless of anything else, Liu Zheng sniffed the fragrance of Xie Chan. It seemed that only this woman could give him a moment of peace.
"You, you, you...you all get out, get out!"
As a young woman, Xie Chan could not withstand such a scene. She was still scolding Liu Zheng at first, but soon, she kicked out the two palace maids.
Because she suddenly felt sorry for her man.
He was really tired.
Close your eyes and look like you're about to fall asleep.
Xie Chan couldn't say anything she wanted to curse.
He is really tired.
How could she not know what kind of person Liu Zheng was. He always wants to arrange everything in every aspect. Liangzhou, Liaodong, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Regions, Central Asia, and even the entire Longyan...
He is ambitious.
But not ambition for the throne.
But the ambition for the world, the ambition for the people of the world. He wants them to live a better life, and he wants the entire Chinese nation to be on top of the world.
Think about it this way.
It seems that my man has not gone back to play house for more than a year.
Xie Chan suddenly became gentle. She lowered her head and slowly stroked Liu Zheng's slightly bearded face with her hands. This is what women are like. When she truly falls in love with a man, she has some maternal aura around her. of. How she wished that she was his home, how she wished that she could give him some comfort.
Fulcrum...
Although Liu Zheng felt sleepy, he was still thinking about this issue in his mind.
In his last life, the various war strategy games he liked had developed to the end. The most prominent problem was that the battle lines were too long. The transportation of grain, grass and baggage, as well as the mobilization of weapons and equipment, including troops, are not very convenient. This is a very real and important issue.
For example, if we launch a war against Sichuan and Sichuan from Liaodong, the 300,000-strong army will only eat hundreds of thousands of dan of food and grass along the way... However, the food that these armies can carry is only a few tons. One hundred thousand stones... This means that as soon as they arrive in Sichuan and Shu, they will face the dilemma of having no food and grass.
If you want to be able to fight, you must equip more grain and grass troops, but in this case, you will be easily exposed and give the enemy an opportunity to attack the grain and grass troops.
Warfare is a profound knowledge.
Liu Zheng had to consider arsenals, granaries, and barracks before moving closer to Europe.
He needs a fulcrum ahead.
Suez?
Obviously not.
Once the Suez Canal is opened, there will definitely be a huge number of merchant ships and caravans traveling between European countries. Such a chaotic environment is not suitable for this fulcrum.
Australia.
So.
There is only one choice left.
Australia's geographical location is pure and simple enough. Similarly, it is not very far from Asia, Africa, or Europe.
Think of this.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly again.
He felt like he wanted to sneeze loudly.
Australian development is another huge sum of money...
I guess Zheng Yueru is going to yell at her behind her back again, right?
Think of this.
He immediately turned over.
Xie Chan seemed to be used to Liu Zheng's behavior. She suddenly became excited and quickly called the two palace maids in to prepare pen and paper.
He already knew that Su Qi and Xie Fang had obtained Australia from Britain.
The army led by Qin Changfeng is also on the way.
Xie Fang, since I no longer want to come back...
That myself.
Still have to give him a big gift.
