Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 313 Air Trade Military Mansion
The wind and snow were still beating randomly, Zhao Si finally nodded his head when he looked at Shi Huangdi with unquestionable eyes.

"Actually, there's nothing to say. If Daqin wants to radiate the offshore area, he must hit it." Zhao Si rubbed his brows.

Maritime affairs can barely be regarded as Zhao Si's major. The most important thing is that there are a large number of crew members in the expedition fleet that Zhao Si used to serve.

"Moreover, if I predict correctly, the war will have already started when this military letter is sent out."

The distant sea is not as good as the nearby land, and the transmission of information is too slow. If you have to wait for military orders to start a war, you will have been pushed back countless times.

"Actually, this military memorial is not important. If Your Majesty doesn't want to fight, you just need to send an order from Fusang to cut off the supply. The important thing is that the maritime affairs must be managed by a coordinating department. The sea is too far away, and the situation It’s too complicated, Daqin has to contact countless countries, and the information transmission is too slow, if you don’t establish a formal maritime affairs department, given the slow transmission of information due to the distance, there will be big problems sooner or later.”

The First Emperor nodded. It seemed that the establishment of the maritime department could not be delayed any longer.

"War is inevitable. After all, it wasn't Daqin's sea-going ships that took the initiative to provoke. I can still trust Jing in this. Daqin must also go through a war to build his reputation in China. Diplomatic negotiations will always be just a continuation of war. There is no war. , Peaceful negotiations are also difficult to carry out, the key point is how to fight this battle and to what extent.” Zhao Si paused for a moment and motioned for the soldiers to fetch the map.

After a while, the map was fetched.

Zhao Si put his finger on the land of Sumatra Island and Java Island.

"This is Ye Tiao."

"With such a distance, judging from the current number of sea ships in Daqin and the soldiers suitable for landing in sea battles, there is no need to think about conquering cities and looting land. At present, the battlefield can only be placed on the sea."

"This battle, in the short term, does not have much actual benefit, but it does not mean that there is no benefit in the long run."

"The four poles are blocked, and Great Qin is trapped in a corner, with almost no reputation. Objectively speaking, this is the first contact between neighboring countries and Great Qin. The first impression is very important.

Not only Ye Tiao, there are countries here, here, and even here, and there are exchanges with each other. This is the first time that Great Qin has shown its strength here, so this battle is not only for Ye Tiao to watch, but also for Call neighboring countries to see. "Zhao Si said.

Ye Tiao was just a tool for Daqin to build up his reputation. Zhao Si's real purpose was to make Daqin famous in the Indian subcontinent.

From the land, after breaking through the Western Regions, more and more countries will be influenced by the culture of the Indian subcontinent. Not to mention from the sea, the geographical location of Daqin is too good, but it is too difficult to go out, but Zhao Si knows the future of Daqin It is necessary to step out to the four extremes of the world, and we cannot just stay in the East Asian circle and be content with life and death.

When Daqin's sea ships continue to improve, the number of ships will increase, and navigation exchanges and trade will become more frequent, which will naturally lead to more frequent contacts between Daqin and the world, and a large number of contacts will inevitably lead to conflicts. In the final analysis, Hard power is fundamental.

There is no doubt about the hard power of Daqin. All the surrounding countries can be beaten by Daqin. No country is not afraid of the overwhelming army. But the problem is that Daqin's prestige is limited to East Asia.

Go out, have to go out!

"How long?" Shi Huang asked.

"If you want to gain the prestige of Daqin, then you must get Ye Tiaoguo to take the initiative to negotiate peace talks!"

The First Emperor rubbed the space between his brows. This was another considerable expense, but now that the food production has increased and the territory of Great Qin is improving, it will not be stretched because of a naval battle.

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about expenses. The Iwami Ginzan and Sado Gold Island in Fusang are still being mined, and a lot of gold and silver have been hoarded for more than a year. The cost of this naval battle is limited to the gold and silver that has been mined so far." The number is estimated to be about the same.

What's more, after the implementation of the Qiangui Order, Daqin will be able to generate a large amount of usable wealth. "

Shi Huang nodded and waved his hand.

"Study ink to draw up a decree, you go get the tiger talisman."

Although Jing has already started the war, the process that should be followed is the same. The sea is no better than the land. When the tiger charm is delivered to Jing, the grass on the grave will be three feet high.

"If only there were phone bugs..." Zhao Si thought for no reason.

The war with Ye Tiaoguo was only secondary, and Zhao Si's real sights were on the Indian mainland.

There are people in that place, there is political power, the navigation technology is acceptable, the political situation is barely stable, and it is relatively far away from civilization.

This means that the entire Indian subcontinent is completely ripe for leeks.

This is not the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there are only so many places where we can obtain benefits from the sea.

Indian Subcontinent, Europe...

As for other places, most of them are barren lands with no decent civilization.

"India is also one of the origins of cotton. At present, it is impossible to travel to India from the Western Regions. You can only go through Indonesia..."

"Dumping, trade, colonization..."

"In the end, we have to feed back to the country. It is said that wool textiles have to be put on the agenda. If you want to develop sea trade, your products must keep up. Silk is fine, but it is a luxury product... The same is true for porcelain, wool textiles and textiles. Cotton spinning is the thing that can really earn innumerable benefits, by the way, there are also tea, obsolete weapons and armor..."

Zhao Si's vision is not limited to making money.

Between countries, money is second.

"In the final analysis, I still have to go back to Xianyang as soon as possible, go to work, go to work, anyway, I can't get away from this pile of stalls.

I don't know what kind of name Shihuang intends to give the maritime agency. "

Zhao Si mentioned a lot of names before, but this matter was suppressed by the First Emperor. If nothing else, it was because of Zou Feng.

Including the actual preparation of the maritime department, it has not yet started. Zhao Si is not a fool. Regarding maritime affairs, the first emperor made it clear that he was waiting for him to take office after returning to Xianyang.

……

The cold wind is getting colder and colder, but the heavy snow has stopped...

The first emperor's car drove forward as usual until it parked in Dongjun. The place where the first emperor was assassinated was also the place where a strange stone fell from the sky, engraved with the place where Zulong died this year.

The drive stopped.

It's not that I can't go anymore, but I can't go.

On the first day of October, the Daqin New Year is coming.

Zhao Si also finally received the news that the name of the maritime department had been finalized.

"The name has been decided..."

"Air Trade Military Mansion?"

If nothing else happened, Zhao Si would be the first head of the Air Trade Military Mansion.
