The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1206

After Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, he immediately began to carry out various agitations in Yizhou and the northwest region.And Liu Chan himself also left Jiangling City, first in Jingzhou, then into Jiangdong, and later into Jiaozhou, constantly preaching his neo-conservative theory, and soon united the hearts of the whole country. .

Originally, Liu Chan wanted to enter Yizhou directly from Jiaozhou.However, after everyone's dissuasion, he could only give up such an adventurous idea after all.Not to mention the extremely long journey from Jiaozhou to Yizhou, the road is even worse.

Liu Chan weighed it himself, and finally gave up on this plan. In the end, he returned to Jiangdong by boat to check the specific situation of the navy commanded by Xu Sheng.

Then, Liu Chan stopped in Moling for a while, met with some scholars in Jiangdong and local wealthy businessmen again, and continued to win their support for the Shuhan regime.

In fact, it is worth mentioning that it was actually when Liu Chan was in Jiaozhou that Liu Chan had an alliance with the ruler of Funan Kingdom for the first time.The two sides agreed again on the further reduction of tariffs on commodity trade between the two sides.

At the same time, Liu Chan naturally had to explain to his most important ally that the Shu Han would soon conduct a domestic unification war.The two parties immediately agreed that Xu Sheng's fleet stationed in several port cities along the southern coast of Funan would transfer two-thirds of its forces back to Jiangdong and Liaodong.This matter will be gradually completed in the next two years.

After all, stationing troops overseas is actually a very expensive thing to do.If the Shu Han wanted the Northern Expedition, they had to prepare sufficient finances, and military expenditures should also be concentrated on the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, after Shu Han's fleet retreated back to the country, the gap left must be filled by Funan Kingdom.In fact, Shu Han and Funan Kingdom have already formed a joint fleet, which has been in charge of patrolling the South China Sea.

However, in fact, the number of ships built by Funan Kingdom is very small.Therefore, Funan Kingdom must start building a large number of warships this time.Moreover, the supreme commander of this joint fleet must still be held by Shu Han.

Moreover, the construction technology of Funan's ships is definitely not as good as that of Shu Han.On the one hand, the shipyards on the Shuhan side can build ships and sell them to Funan, on the other hand, they can also send personnel to build shipyards directly in Funan.

In this way, it is actually very beneficial to Jiangdong's shipyard.

Moreover, Liu Chan also made a request to Funan Kingdom to send an army of at least 4 people to enter Jiangdong by sea or temporarily station on Yizhou Island.Once the Shu Han's Northern Expedition started, they could go directly to Liaodong or enter Jiangdong to help the Shu Han army fight.

International politics is actually a compromise of interests between countries.

The quantity and types of commodities that Liu Chan can export are several times higher than that of Funan Country. If they lower the tariff for you, it means that your shops in Shu Han can be sold to Funan Country at a cheaper price. The wealth of Shu Han has been increased.From this point of view, mercantilism is actually correct.

This also means that Funan Kingdom has reduced domestic wealth due to importing too many Shu Han goods.Of course, people will not be willing to suffer such a loss.

Therefore, the Shu Han must give others compensation measures.For example, more goods from the Shu Han should enter Funan for transshipment, which actually increases part of the tax revenue of Funan, and then merchants in the country can also get a certain percentage of profits from it during the process of entrepot trade.

At the same time, as a condition for sending troops to help Shu Han, Funan Kingdom also requested that when Funan Kingdom sends troops to Tianzhu in the future, Shu Han must also send troops to help.Tianzhu at this time is actually just an area on the Indian subcontinent.Moreover, Tianzhu does not just refer to a country, it is a region composed of many small countries, just like the Western Regions in this era, there are many small countries distributed in it.

Liu Chan must agree to these conditions, and the two parties signed the document immediately.Originally, for people in this era, the so-called alliance is mostly killing a chicken, dripping a few drops of blood, and drinking it with wine.But with Liu Chan's personality, he never believed in such things, so the covenant signed with Funan Kingdom at this time became the first covenant of allies in history.

At the same time, Liu Chan also warmly invited Funan Kingdom to send more young people to study in Shu Han to study in Shu Han.

In fact, in the surrounding areas of the Shu Han, many noble youths from nomadic tribes on the northern grasslands have entered the territory of the Shu Han to study, and the educational institutions of the Shu Han are very willing to accept these people.

Why is this happening?

Of course it's not because they are not from the Shu Han. When outsiders come to the Shu Han, they have to do their best, even if they don't have enough to eat, they will let the fools who serve the guests make pies.This is because these people who came to study in Shu Han received the education of Shu Han, and many of them will definitely return to their hometowns in the future.

These people may become pro-Han factions in the future, and they can bring back what they have learned from the Shu Han. If they become the leaders of one party in the future, they will definitely feel close to the Shu Han, and the relationship between the Han people and the grassland should also slow down. Improve slowly.

Such things can actually be applied to Funan Kingdom as well.

What's more, those who came to the Shu Han to study also had many skills and advantages that the Han people did not have. After the integration and trade-offs, there must be a lot of benefits for the Shu Han.

Even if the outstanding talents among them are willing, they can of course stay in Shuhan.In any era in this world, there can never be too much talent.Moreover, the most outstanding country will of course become the country that attracts the most foreign talents.

Judging from the number of students sent to study in the Shu Han, the grassland area is indeed the largest, followed by the Western Regions, followed by the Funan Kingdom, and finally the Fuyu Kingdom in the northeast of Liaodong. Many students from Cao Wei also passed through Liaodong, and then went south by boat to Jiangdong to study .

Fuyu State is also an important ally of Shu Han.Liu Chan once again asked Zhang Wen to take Luo Tong into Liaodong by sea, and met with the Lord of Fuyu at the border.The two parties agreed that once the Shu Han launched the Northern Expedition, the Fuyu Kingdom must dispatch cavalry to help the Liaodong Army fight.

The most difficult thing to do is Goguryeo.If this country has enough resources, Liu Chan really wants to be the first to level it up!This country is rebellious and rebellious, and it always wants to destroy Fuyu and seize the territory of Liaodong, dreaming of expanding its power to the Korean peninsula.There is now the territory of Sanhan, and they are all small tribes, and there is no unified nation.

One year later, there was turmoil in the eastern area of ​​Liaodong. Sanhan inexplicably began to invade the border of Liaodong, and was immediately defeated by the army of Gu Shao and Xu Sheng.

When Liu Chan was annoyed, he immediately dispatched Deng Ai into Liaodong as General Pingbei, commanding the Liaodong Army to fight against Sanhan, eliminating Sanhan, Liaodong's worries.At the same time, the Da Sima's government ordered the recruitment, and Zhang Ni, an expert in mountain warfare in Jingzhou, served as Deng Ai's army.After all, the Korean peninsula is really a barren land, and it still needs the assistance of experts like Zhang Yi.

At the same time, Xu Sheng's navy also transferred some of the reinforcements from the Funan Kingdom to the Liaodong battlefield. First, let these reinforcements go up for a trial to see if they are capable of fighting in the territory of Shuhan.At that time, Deng Ai must provide a relevant evaluation report to the Da Sima government office.

Deng Ai hadn't had the opportunity to display his skills for a long time, that is, the opportunity to enter the Da Sima's government office, which was later snatched away by Meng Xi, so naturally he had to work harder this time.

As a result, with the assistance of Zhang Ni, Deng Ai pacified the Sanhan area in only three months.

Now the Shu Han needs a lot of manpower, otherwise the Liaodong region has gone through wars and the cruel rule of Gongsun Yuan, which will lead to the decline of people's livelihood, and the population will also decrease sharply.Therefore, for the first time, Liu Chan did something that was not in line with the principle of freedom, and ordered the army to drive the population of the various tribes of the Three Hans into the Liaodong area.

As a result, the population of the Sanhan area became almost a vacuum, which gave Goguryeo a great allure.

Goguryeo's cavalry immediately stepped into the Sanhan area. No matter how history is rewritten, it seems that there will be similarities in the end.After all, Goguryeo is regarded as the ancestor of today's Bangzi Kingdom.

Liu Chan and Da Sima Fuya did not order Deng Ai to lead the army to attack Goguryeo's army.But just let Deng Ai guard the border, the poor mountains and bad waters like Sanhan, if Goguryeo wants it, just take it, and it will definitely look good to you in the future!
Then, Liu Chan also got a secret report from Xu Xiang.

According to intelligence, the high-level officials in Cao Wei's side have obviously noticed a series of actions by Shu Han.They didn't want to face the situation of being besieged on three sides by the Shu Han.At the same time, the relationship between Cao Wei and the Kebineng Department of the northern grassland has not been improved, and it is simply a dilemma surrounded by enemies.

Therefore, Sima Yi came up with a relatively wicked idea, which was to encourage Sanhan to invade Liaodong.After all, the Liaodong region is an enclave of the Shu Han isolated overseas. In fact, if they want to hold it, it will be very stressful for the Shu Han army.Otherwise, Liu Chan would not let Xu Sheng station a large part of the marines there.

Then, after the failure of Sanhan, Sima Yi continued to make suggestions and began to encourage Goguryeo to enter Sanhan.He felt that in this way, Goguryeo's power would inevitably increase.If the Shu Han couldn't tolerate it, they would definitely go to war.No matter who wins in the end, both sides must win miserably.Because Goguryeo is a military power in the north, and its power is much stronger than that of Fuyu.

At that time, Youzhou on the side of Cao Wei will be able to send troops to Liaodong again to capture it, and never break the three-sided encirclement of Cao Wei by the Shu Han.

In the end, although the Shu Han gave up Sanhan to Goguryeo, it still allowed some of Sima Yi's tricks to succeed, making Goguryeo's strength a lot stronger.

Such a result, of course, would make Liu Chan feel a little depressed.
