Chapter 1716
Early the next morning, when Zhu Bingkun was out of the city, he met Zhang Xin siblings again.
The two siblings are both holding a tall horse. When they see Zhu Bingkun, Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Little brother and brother Zhu are not tied."
Zhu Bingkun laughed:" It really is not shallow."
plainly said: "The two of your siblings are going out of the city?"
"Brother Zhu is also going out of the city?" Zhang Xin said with a smile: " My siblings have an appointment with a friend, and we are leaving today."
"so that's how it is." Zhu Bingkun said with a smile: "I plan to go around Jiang Yang and have a look Situation."
Zhang Xin expression moved: "Brother Zhu is planning to establish a foothold in Jiangyang?"
"It's not impossible." Zhu Bingkun said.
Zhang Datong: "Brother Zhu has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years. After all, Central Plains is the root. Now that Mingzhou is chaotic, it would be nice to have a foothold here. Jiang Yang is where the upper reaches of the Yangjiang River lies on both land and water. ."
"I hope so." Zhu Bingkun cup one fist in the other hand: "I won't disturb the expensive siblings. Zhang virtuous brother, we'll meet again some day."
"we'll meet again some day." Zhang Xin siblings turned on his horse, and he was gone with the sound of horse hooves.
Zhu Bingkun looked at the back of the two, saying that an Armored Soldier beside him said: "Follow them, don't miss their whereabouts."
"Here!"
Lead the horse away.
"The horse in this world is much better than the horse before the Empire has not improved the horse breed." Zhu Bingkun also turned and jumped on his horse: "The world is different, and many things are different."
then said: "Let's go back to the stronghold."
This horse is not cheap. Zhu Bingkun bought a hundred horses at once. After all, we still need some transportation for the time being.
Back to the stronghold, it was about noon.
Zhu Bingkun first sent the situation back to the empire, and then waited.
...
After Ying Yi watched the photo, she felt a little emotional as her heart turned. The second world is the ancient world, with low productivity and backward battle strength. With the power of the Great Xia Empire today, it is not difficult to conquer. However, thinking of the previous plan, Ying Yi pressed it down a bit.
The change of order and order may not be beneficial. The grand strategy cannot be changed.
The exploration of the second world only started, after all, I don’t know whether it’s also amazing. Being impulsive may not be good.
For the time being, the five hundred Armored Soldiers that Zhu Bingkun brought should be enough. However, like the first world, a stronghold must always be established first, and the corresponding production lines and craftsmen must send a batch of them early.
As for the construction of the corresponding portal, it is probably helpless now. The group of Wang Yulong who has construction experience is still in the first world. Generally speaking, they still lack the foundation.
After thinking for a moment, Ying Yi consumed a million Human Dao Fate to make Sky's Eye send a letter to Zhu Bingkun. Then Zhang Ming told the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to organize craftsmen and prepare the production line, and send it over within three days.
...
Zhu Bingkun quickly received the order, and after reading the photo, he had a good idea. Now only waiting for the Armored Soldier to return.
In the next half a month, the Armored Soldiers that were scattered came back one after another, bringing a lot of news within five hundred miles of the surrounding area.
First of all, Zhu Bingkun has a certain understanding of the geography of this world. The Li Sui Kingdom is nominally vast, much larger than the Ming court of the Great Xia dynasty. There are fifty Six Paths in the Li Sui Kingdom, and each path is broad, not inferior to the imperial state-level governing area.
For example, Mingzhou is one. The Yangnan to which Jiang Yang belongs is also one, bordering Mingzhou Road.
Secondly, I have a more detailed understanding of the current situation in Li's Sui Kingdom. Zhu Bingkun also knows exactly what the so-called Three Seas Expeditions and the Henglu Canal are going on.
The three cross-sea wars are the three cross-sea wars from the third year to the end of the tenth year after the reign of King Lee II. In each war, more than 500,000 troops are used, and more than 1 million civilians are used. The goal is a continent on the other side of the mirage.
Zhu Bingkun does not know all the geography of this life. Maybe even the natives in this world don't know. But the continent on the other side of the mirage had already produced a talisman tablet with Central Plains 800 years ago. The mirage is long and narrow, tens of thousands of miles from south to north, but its width is only a thousand miles on average.
Lee II put up all his troops and set sail to conquer the eastern soil. He suffered huge losses three times, and the results are harder to make up for than the losses. Three times with a hundred million troops and more than 3 million civilians, at least 60% of them were lost in the cross-sea war, and only the equivalent to one piece of land was occupied in the East.
Such a huge loss caused turbulence in the Sui country. The loss of a large amount of young and strong labor has caused a rapid decrease in productivity. The breakage of the elite army made it difficult for the Sui State to suppress the surrounding hostilities, and even the inside could not be controlled.
Corresponding to the three cross-sea expeditions is the Yokolu Canal. There is a huge inner lake in the east of the Sui State, and the rivers flowing from the west to the east of the Sui State eventually poured into this inner lake. There is only a long and narrow land between the inner lake and the sea.
However, the main rivers in the Sui state run north-south. The east-west rivers are not large and are not conducive to water transportation. Therefore, King Lee II decided to build a canal from this inner lake named Eastern Sea that traverses east and west and connects three major rivers from north to south, ending at the Imperial Capital.
This canal is 2,800 miles long and used more than 5 million civilians. It was just completed a year ago.
This huge project is located in Great Xia, which should not be underestimated. However, it was realized in such a world with backward productivity. Even if the Lee II is not good, his courage is worthy of praise. However, the three cross-sea levies and the Henglu Canal were superimposed on each other, exhausting the last trace of the Sui State's potential.
Now the entire Sui country is full of flames. Not only Mingzhou. There are fifty Six Paths in the world, except for the Twelve Paths in the Western Regions, which are negligible. Half of the other 44 Paths have already been rebelled.
The Yangnan Road where Zhu Bingkun is located is fairly peaceful. Although there were small-scale rebellions, they were all suppressed by the roads of Yangnan Road.
In addition, Zhu Bingkun also has a deep understanding of the history of this world from the books he has collected.
Since the civilization of this world, Central Plains has been around for four thousand years. During the nine dynasties, the Sui Dynasty was the tenth dynasty. In this world, there were five emperors and nine emperors in ancient times, and there were hundreds of scholars in the Middle Ages, such as Ruism, Buddhism and Daoism, as well as Famonong.
The mainstream of today's era is the Aristocratic Family. The roots of the Aristocratic Family originated from the hundreds of scholars, and then joined the military and government, monopolized cultural knowledge, and formed the framework of a dynasty and a country. The Aristocratic Family sits in the big dynasty in the Liang Dynasty before the Sui Dynasty. That Liang Dynasty was destroyed by the Aristocratic Family.
The Li family of the Sui State itself is a big Aristocratic Family. The establishment of the Sui State is supported by other Aristocratic families. So Sui II moved the Aristocratic Family, and his country could not be kept.
From the collected news and books, Zhu Bingkun can see the essence of this life at a glance. Sui II might not be a Ming prince, but the Sui Kingdom’s Aristocratic Family was deeply ingrained. If he wanted to centralize power, he had to fight with the Aristocratic Family. However, it finally got off and formed the current situation.
