The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 192 Da Sima Is Very Busy ([-])

The Wei, Jin and Chan Dynasties were major political events in East Asia's international political arena in the third century AD.

and then?there is none left.

Not to mention the Han and Wu countries, even the backward countries and tribes on this continent such as Goguryeo, Sanhan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Xiqiang.In fact, everyone has known for a long time that the Wei and Jin Dynasties are inevitable.So when it really happened, everyone just said "Oh" and said: It's finally over.

What should everyone do in the next few days?

However, when it comes to the Han and Wu countries, they are also a little confused.

In the past, Han and Wu were an alliance. Who was this alliance aimed at?Cao Wei.The ruler of this alliance is still masquerading on the map, dividing Cao Wei's territory in advance.For decades, towards Cao Wei, the policies of the two countries have been one word: fight!

But now Cao Wei doesn't exist anymore.What attitude should we take towards this newly born state of Jin?
Especially for Shu Han, a country that claims to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.Of course Cao Wei has nothing to say, the usurper must fight to the end.But it’s fine if the usurper hasn’t been eliminated on my own side. What is the state of Jin that has eliminated this usurper now?Is it a hero?Loyal minister?
Therefore, Liu Chan, who has been busy spending time and drinking in the harem since Guan Yi opened the mansion, finally walked to the front desk and presided over a grand meeting.

"Your Majesty, my minister Fan Jian thinks that an envoy should be sent to congratulate the new emperor of Jin. The two countries have ceased fighting and ceased their troops, so that they can form an alliance."

"Well, Shang Shuling means to form an alliance with the Jin State? But the land of the Jin State was divided between me and Dongwu in the past."

"Your Majesty, this is exactly the second meaning I want to say. After forming an alliance with Jin, our country will focus on defense to the north, and then turn the main force to the southeast."

As an old man from Jingzhou who came out of the residence of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in the past, Fan Jian used to be a moderate Northern Expeditionist, that is, the Northern Expedition was necessary, but it should not be done too frequently.But the great battle in the first year of Yanxing changed Fan Jian's thinking: Fortunately, Guan Yi turned the tide and wiped out the enemy.Otherwise, Shu Han will perish!Once the Shu Han subjugated, his old man would go to Luoyang to work as an apartment.In this way, the Fan family will be reduced to a third-rate family in the state of Jin, which is ruled by the ninth rank, and will not be able to stand up for life.

Is this okay? !So the top priority is to bring Jingzhou back!After taking Jingzhou back, the Jingzhou faction is not a tree without roots.Not to mention the guarantee of the construction of the talent echelon, even if the big man is gone someday, the Fan family can become a first-class family in Jingzhou...

It can be said that Fan Jian's thoughts represent the thoughts of a large part of the elderly in Jingzhou.They were really frightened by the great war the year before last—be it Cao Wei or Jin, they were all too strong.If there is a disagreement, more than 20 yuan will be thrown over.The key is that after losing more than 20 yuan, he was crowned king and usurped the throne.This, the opponent is really too strong!Therefore, taking advantage of the demise of Cao Wei and the obvious reduction of the political burden of the Shu Han, form an alliance with the Jin State, and then pick up the soft persimmons and attack Soochow.Dahan has not made an inch of progress in the north for more than 40 years, so it is better to develop in a different strategic direction.

"Your Majesty, the words of the Minister's order. I dare not agree."

The one who stood up to speak at this time was Zhongshu Shooting Condor (provided by book friend tangthuvien).This person is a descendant of the archer family of Fufeng County.His ancestors first served Emperor Xian of Han in Chang'an, and when he saw that Emperor Xian had no future, he ran to Yizhou to attach himself to Liu Yan, and when he saw that Liu Zhang was dying, he immediately surrendered to Liu Bei's support.

Although the character of Sheyuan is not very good, but the talent is leveraged (in modern society, if the company does not develop well, it seems that it is okay to change jobs and change companies).During Liu Bei's reign as King of Hanzhong, She Yuan was the number one servant under Shangshu Ling Fazheng's command, and he had more power than Zhuge Liang.Had it not been for the Shu Han's implementation of the Jingzhou No. [-] policy, the Archers might have become a big family of the Shu Han.

Even so, after all, they entered Sichuan early and accumulated a long time.As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.After Lai Min passed away, the descendants of the Wu family and the Lai family all took military posts and left the town.The Archer became the representative of the Dongzhou faction in the Shuhan court.

For the Dongzhou faction, they were also terrified of the great battle in the first year of Yanxing.Once the Shu Han is destroyed and Yizhou implements the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, they will also be relocated back to their original places-they have been away from home for 70 to [-] years.It's a scumbag when you go back!And unlike Jingzhou, which is close at hand, the ancestral home of the Dongzhou faction is scattered all over the country.So at this time, the Dongzhou faction became a staunch supporter of the Northern Expedition: after Jingzhou was defeated, the Dongzhou faction would have no one to accompany them to accept all kinds of disgust from the Yizhou people!

"Your Majesty, whether it is Wei or Jin, their national power is much stronger than that of our Han and Soochow. In today's world, it is definitely not Soochow that can threaten our survival, but Jin. Even Jin my country is willing to form an alliance with our country to jointly take Soochow. So what happens after Soochow is taken?"

"Then what does Zhongshu mean?"

"Send envoys to reiterate the alliance to Soochow. Then continue to fight against Jin."

"Well, then...heh, I almost forgot." Liu Chan patted himself on the face mockingly: "Hey, why didn't Da Sima come today?"

"Report to my father, Da Sima went to Jiange a month ago. He hasn't returned yet."

Yes, Guan Da Sima is quite busy.

As a traveler, he never believed that he could get real data and understand the real situation by sitting in the office.So from the third year of Yanxing, after various new policies (in fact, only three, household tax inspection, salt mine sales, and copper mine trading rights) were rolled out in all counties of Shuhan, he took Huo Zai on the front line. go down.

Of course, in addition to understanding the livelihood of the grassroots, Guan Yi has another very important thing to do.For this matter, he predicted that Yanxing would initially start experiments in the second year, and that it would be fully rolled out in the third year of Yanxing.It will be basically completed in the fifth or sixth year of Yanxing—at that time, it will be time for another Northern Expedition.

This is a large project across the country - on a main road stretching more than 500 kilometers from Hanzhong in the north to Nanzhong in the south.Wherever there are mountains to block, all set up ziplines or reinforce plank roads!
There are too many mountains in Shuhan.While the vast mountains provide security for the Shu Han, they also seriously restrict the domestic transportation of the Shu Han.As mentioned above, at least [-]% of the grain produced on the ground in Chengdu was consumed when it was transported to the front line of the Northern Expedition.With the national power of the Shu Han, this kind of loss, even if he, a traveler, kept cheating the Shu Han, he couldn't afford it.In order to prevent his own Northern Expedition in the future, he will do another "retirement when the food is exhausted" sadly.So before the Northern Expedition, he had to solve the problem of excessive consumption of grain transported north.

Without a shield machine, in this era, don't think about opening holes in the mountains.What Guan Yi can do is to set up ziplines and strengthen plank roads everywhere in the vast mountains of Shuhan.

The so-called flying rope, its production is divided into three steps.

The first step is to drill holes in the mountains of Mount Jia and Mount B. For this hole, first drill vertically, and then extend a little horizontally to the left and right when the hole is drilled to a certain extent.Then weave the skeleton with wire in this space.Then inject cement - like driving a large expansion screw into the mountain.The cable is then set up between the two expansion screws.

There is no high-strength steel wire in this era, so the production of cables is also very troublesome.First, the branches of various vines are soaked in tung oil, then wrapped and tied repeatedly with iron wire and bamboo wire, and then soaked in tung oil for a long time, and a cable is completed.

The third step is to set up the cable.This is the least technical, but also the most labor-intensive: first bind the cable at one end, and then throw the other end down the mountain.The people at the bottom of the mountain take turns to move the other end of the cable to another mountain, and bind it to the cement expansion screw that has been laid on that mountain.Then, the zipline between Mount A and Mount B is set up.

This thing originated in the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest region.In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such ziplines were everywhere in the Hengduan Mountains.Even in modern times, ziplines still play an irreplaceable role in a few inaccessible areas.

As for strengthening the plank road.This is also because Guan Yi has cement to do so.

What did the plank roads of Shu Han look like in the past?First send people to hang ropes down from the cliff, hang in mid-air to punch holes in the mountain body, and then insert wooden stakes.Then lay wooden planks on top of these wooden piles - such a plank road needs constant maintenance in the humid environment of the southwest region.And even so, such a plank road has a very limited load-bearing capacity.

Guan Yi's current method is to insert long strips of prefabricated cement slabs at the bottom of these plank roads under the premise of maintaining the original plank roads as much as possible, and use them to make new load-bearing beams.Then use cement to glue the wooden boards on the plank road surface.Then build guardrails on the outside (cliff side) of the plank road.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely large project that requires a huge amount of money and food.It is very suitable for traversers to enter with their left hand and exit with their right hand.Try not to keep a lot of cash in your spending habits.
