"While annihilated Ah San's army, only a few enemy warships were able to escape?"

Liu Yan received the battle report from the front only one month after the end of the war. He didn't feel any surprises about the result. He had dispatched such a huge fleet, if it weren't for a natural disaster like a sudden storm, he did not feel any surprise. Winning is a matter of course, the difference is how much to lose and how much to eliminate.

In the battle report, Huan Wen gave a detailed introduction of the navy's battle history, and pointed out the navy's lack of experience in port warfare, but Liu Yan knew exactly why.

The crossbow ships produced by the system are originally long-range arms, and the situation would be even worse if they hadn't arranged for non-system soldiers to board the ships.

There is no perfection in everything. Liu Yan already has this kind of heaven-defying golden finger. I really can’t expect more. Let alone the horrible battles, even if they are at a disadvantage in long-range mutual attacks, what they can do is to use them. The number will pile up the opponent, everything is only because of the loss.

[That’s why we have to encourage sailing! Liu Yan knows that conquering the sea is not an easy task. It takes a long time to train sailors. The training time of the navy needs more time: [The system crossbow ship cannot be said to be a transition, but the future does not belong to them. 】

In the two naval battles, 67 ships were sunk directly by the Han army, and nearly a hundred ships lost their combat power and needed to be repaired. Judging from the scale of dispatching 2,000 warships, less than 10% of the battle damage seems to be nothing, but the enemy forces they fought are only less than 300, which is a big problem.

Ships produced by the system have these and other shortcomings. The ability to sail far is an advantage. If there is no ship produced by the system, Han will not be able to play happily even in the nearby Indochina Peninsula, not to mention sending troops to Asanyang.

No kidding, the production of the system can be said to be cheap and beautiful. A man-made warship, even a medium-sized warship, usually takes at least three months. The total cost of labor and materials is about 300,000 yuan. One or ten seems to be nothing, but the more the number, the more it will cost. It is not that you can build as many as you want. At least there are not enough craftsmen to build them.

The ship produced by the system is different. Although it also takes time, it is much less time-consuming than manual manufacturing. It does not require labor costs. It only consumes materials and is self-provisioning crew.

Liu Yan has such a fleet that he will not face any opponent. As long as the resources can keep up, he can be tough even in naval battles with all countries in the world. The difference is whether he feels that it is necessary.

Obviously Liu Yan thought it was unnecessary in the early days, but it is necessary at this stage.

"The enemy's fleet has been frustrated again and again, and I will not dare to take the initiative to attack again." Xu Zheng is not familiar with naval battles. The report shows that most of the losses are 10%. Victory re-blocked the sea and territories, and the minister thought it was feasible."

That naval battle was to eliminate the threat of the Ping Barbarian colonel, or to concentrate on preparing for the enemy on the land. Victory at sea is naturally to make persistent efforts, and what Huan Wen should do next is to destroy the allied forces on the land. .

The battle report was just a little talk about land warfare. Huan Wen had already given a detailed report on how to fight land warfare before. If the situation does not change, it would be nothing more than to lure the enemy to go deep without achieving direct action.

"The jungle environment is complicated..." Xu Zheng paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued after a short while: "The minister thought, maybe we can recruit more troops from the Wa Islands?"

Liu Yan is naturally indispensable. The Han country has a strong control over the Wa Islands. The nobles on the top are very eager to be attached, and the bottom is willing to do anything that might become a member of the Han.

The Han was based on the mentality of waste utilization, but did not feel that the Japanese should be treated well if they obeyed. The young Japanese were either sent out to serve as servants or transferred to various mines. Basically, they felt that the Japanese were bleeding and sweating for the hegemony of Han. Of course.

"If it goes well, I will land on Asan's homeland next year." Liu Yan felt that he had taken a lot of steps after thinking about it, but he also believed that it should be like this: "At the time, allied forces of various countries participated in the war, but the territory of Asan was too big. It is reasonable to mobilize the Japanese expedition."

Landing on Asan’s homeland had long been related to the plan. From the beginning, I didn’t want to invest too much in the standing army.

Putting down the battle report from Huan Wen, Liu Yan picked up another memorial on the case, and the topic of discussion changed.

Another memorial was written by Li Kuang. It introduced what happened on the way to the Western Regions. After nearly two months of marching, they had reached the Bailongdui fifty miles away. They temporarily paused for the necessary rest before the war.

Together with Li Kuang’s memorial, envoys from various countries from the Western Regions were sent back to the country. The countries they represented would not be unfamiliar to the Han Chinese who understand the general situation of the Western Regions. The strange thing is that the countries participating in the alliance against Han also sent envoys. .

The envoys of the Western Regions who came to Chang'an did not receive Liu Yan's reception after they arrived, but were arranged to the post house together.

"The envoys are roughly divided into two types. Those who dare not resist the king's master, and those who come to take tricks." Lu Yi feels that there is no difference in fact. Regardless of what attitude and goals they came with, the fate of the Western Regions countries has long been doomed. . He said: "The Kucha envoy has repeatedly asked for an interview, saying that he came to reopen the Silk Road."

The Silk Road on the road has a long history, but in fact, as the production of silk, Zhu Xia did not make much profit. On the contrary, some countries in the Western Regions and Central Asia made a lot of money as a second trader.

Nothing is wrong at all. Silk may be very valuable, but Zhu Xia, the only one who can make silk, hasn't made much profit in this trade from the beginning. He clearly has the only advantage to make money by hand.

The Silk Road was not opened by Zhu Xia at the beginning. In fact, it was the Huns who brought silk to the Western Regions, and the Western Regions sold them to Central Asian countries. Central Asian countries that had contact and trade with the West sold them to Western countries. It multiplied, but no matter how many times the price of silk rose, it had nothing to do with Zhuxia.

"In the past, the Xiongnu profited first, and Loulan, Shache, and Chess took turns. It is not surprising that Qiuci has this idea." Ji Chang has a say in this aspect. He is on the Maritime Silk Road. After the reopening, I made a special understanding, only to realize that the price of silk has skyrocketed with the increase of distance: "The people of Qiuci are whimsical!"

The Han country is a bit strange to the Western Regions, but some things that should be known must be known, including this time the Western Regions formed a coalition to resist the restoration of the old soil by the Hans. It was led by Qiuci, and the King of Qiuci was also regarded as the leader.

On the way those envoys from the Western Regions came, the court had a discussion about what attitude should be adopted. There was no shortage of remarks that wanted to kill the Qiucians. The envoys who participated in the coalition to resist the king should be killed. The ancient traditions of Zhu Xia played a vital role in keeping those guys alive.

"Xu'er Xiaoguo hasn't been awarded by the Great Han thorns." Xu Zheng's meaning could not be simpler and clearer: "Because of this, it only arranges the post house, not the Hongheguan reception."

Although Zhu Xia has moved towards rituals from the Warring States Period, some facade projects have never been abandoned, especially on facade projects in some countries, even if the etiquette may seem strange, there should be some, such as receiving foreign envoys. Dispatched the staff of Hongxuan Hall.

Beginning in the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to the enemy countries, the country’s leaders in the surrounding countries of the Central Plains dynasty needed to get the thorn seal from the emperor. Any country that did not get the thorn seal from the emperor would not be recognized, and it was even a must. country.

The countries of the Western Regions have legal status only after the Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty. Otherwise, even the people of the Western Regions would not recognize the legal status of the sovereign. This practice was maintained until the collapse of the Western Jin regime, even the former Cao Wei in the separatist regime still maintained the order.

After the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhu Xia no longer had any restrictions on the Western Regions. After the reconstruction of the Han Kingdom, they had not extended their hands to the Western Regions. At present, the leaders of the Western Regions were self-reliant? It belongs to the kind of unrecognized grass head king, not to mention that it does not recognize its legal status, even if it is eliminated, it will be able to scream openly: if it is not a Hanchen concubine, it should be eliminated.

A matter of course! Didn’t Zhu Xia plainly publicize "Is it not the king's soil in the whole world, and is it the king's court that leads the land"? This sentence just bluntly roared that any inch of land in the world belongs to Zhu Xia, and anyone who needs to breathe is Zhu Xia's subject. Anyone who opposes this should be eliminated.

Those envoys have not been killed for the time being, because the Han country has begun to pay attention to it. How can non-mortal enemies maintain the tradition of not killing envoys, and then think that those small countries are targets that can be killed with a finger, and then come back to enemy countries that feel threatened. Consider whether to follow tradition.

The Western Regions have a history of being ruled by Zhu Xia, and the time is not too short. Then there is a very interesting phenomenon. For example, many envoys from the Western Regions came this time. Their purpose was to plead for the thorny seal.

"A country of capriciousness has nothing to do with thorns." Ji Chang's attitude is straightforward: "Except for the country, govern the counties and counties, and eliminate the future troubles forever."

For the slightly older people, they will not forget how the Western Regions jumped up and down after the Han family lost their Guozuo, and they will not forget the flattery of the Jie people in the Western Regions. Even if it is just because the ancestors of the Jie clan came from the Western Regions, it is only because of this that the people of the Western Regions are considered unforgivable. That's why they simply ignore the favor of some of the Western Regions' envoys.

In addition to the above reasons, didn't Han want to send its people out of the Western Regions? Since the Western Regions are all cut to reduce the pain caused by natural disasters, and then to thorny seal the countries of the Western Regions, don't they regard them as "in order" again, how happy to play!

Ji Chang is at least clear that if he recognizes the legal existence of the Western Regions, the military will not be the first to agree. Whoever dares to speak like that will not only face the military's anger, but also those who rush to Yangguan to wait for military merits and merits. People who get rich will also jump their feet. When that happens, not only will they be evil to the military, but they will also be scolded to death by the people.

"Great goodness, except for the country, rule it by counties and counties!"

Regardless of whether he felt indifferent or waited for a bite, Ji Chang's statement received a warm response.

Xu Zheng even said: "Quci doesn't know the number of days, and if you dare to fight for glory with the sun, you should cut off its envoys, and if you encounter the city, you will destroy the country."

It is already a big rebellion for the Kucha people to gather coalition forces to resist the king's master, and they dare to be the leader of some kind.

That's the Alliance! Look at the people who can take the lead in the alliance in Zhuxia history. In the past, those people were called hegemons, that is, those who respect the king and fight the barbarian. After Qin ruled the world, they became the reserve soldiers who challenged the status of the emperor. If he wants to kill his whole family, but if he doesn't kill the whole family, can both cats and dogs challenge the authority of the emperor?

It is not a trivial matter to make the dignified lieutenant shout "Yucheng Kezhi".

In the war of Zhu Xia, whenever encountering "Kecheng", it is the rhythm of razing to the ground after the capture, and the practice of not sealing the sword for a few days is absolutely indispensable in the process. Although Kecheng was not as **** as a massacre, the people who were killed by Kecheng would definitely not be better off, and the fate of becoming a slave was indispensable to survive.

Liu Yan also heard another meaning: Kucha people are very rich. Since it is the city of Kecheng, the process of razing the city to the ground is indispensable for screening of materials. Can those wealth be taken for granted?

To put it bluntly, Kecheng has sounded the clarion call for legal robbery. People in the city are either killed or become slaves to the victor. No one can call wrongs at all.

Xu Zheng dared to shout "Kecheng". That was Liu Yan's confidence. Who made Liu Yan not hide anything from the beginning. Since he went to the Western Regions to reduce domestic losses, of course he would grab whatever he encountered. Property is property, and people can also be sold for money~lightnovelpub.net~ For the current Han country, to some extent, the key to the capture of talents is that the national project desperately needs slaves, and the people also find that the government encourages the enslavement of foreign races. In order to clarify his political ideas, Liu Yan restored the old practice of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the "slave official calculation".

The so-called "slave official calculation" is a characteristic of the Western Han Dynasty, and anyone with a slave needs to pay taxes. After Liu Che fought the war, he was crazy and poor. Apart from tax increases for various names, he did not forgive the levy of slave taxes.

Liu Yan made improvements based on the Western Han Dynasty’s "Slave Official Accounts", clearly announced to the world and formed laws, with the "Han Five Accounts, Hu Yi Accounts" as the system, that is, every tax quarter, Han slaves need to pay 60 Money, but foreign slaves only have twelve dollars.

Since there is no way to completely eradicate Han Chinese as slaves, taxation can be used to increase the cost of using Han Chinese as slaves. Liu Yan can only do this at best. If he completely put an end to Han Chinese as slaves, he seemed to be a great Han Chinese, but he really couldn't survive and couldn't find a livelihood, would he starve to death?

The Han Dynasty had to accept all the wealth, land and population of the Gupta dynasty, and it was especially eager to obtain enough slaves. The population of the Western Regions was not as small as that of Asanduo, but no matter how thin the legs of a mosquito were, it was meat! .
