Collapse, surrender to me!

Not to mention the first emperor's standardization of the wheel gauge.

Even in the previous Warring States period, roads were well connected.

After Gongsun Zan and his men got off the boat, they began to have a headache looking at the jungles in all directions. They spent the next few days cutting through thorns and bushes, building roads across mountains and bridges across rivers, and their life was like trying to survive on a deserted island.

Fortunately, they had horses with them, so they were not short of supplies.

But it is indeed very uncomfortable.

If you don't build roads, what roads will the carriages take? What about the cavalry? How will the army march? How will the supplies be transported? Will each person just walk with a few steamed buns in his pocket?

Gongsun Zan thought about it for three days and three nights, but still couldn't figure it out.

Not to mention that there was Liu Yu next to him who kept chattering.

Gongsun Zan felt that his temper had improved a lot. If it were in the past, he might not have been able to control himself and take action.

Ever since Emperor Gexian ascended the throne, basically no one has the desire to be independent.

No use.

When Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu met in battle later, it was already a situation where there was no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Now it is just a question of how to deal with foreign races.

It’s almost like Gongsun Zan is Fahai, and monsters are monsters, kill, kill, kill.

Liu Yu is the Tang Monk in A Chinese Odyssey. Not all monsters are bad, there are good ones too, and they can keep chattering.

"General! We have discovered the enemy's vassal states!"

At this moment, a young general in a white robe announced the good news with excitement on his face.

"it is good!"

Gongsun Zan was also excited.

After so many days, I finally saw someone.

After all, the Weinu State was equivalent to a state. Dozens of vassal states might sound like a lot, but they were not so easy to find when they were scattered.

Gongsun Zan led his army over and was stunned when he looked at the enemy's city.

Originally he was still thinking about whether to build some siege equipment.

It doesn't seem to be necessary now.

"Who is willing to lead the army to break the city?"

"Zhao Yun, please!"

"it is good!"

At this time, Gongsun Zan still regarded the other side as regular army.

However, when Zhao Yun led his army to the opposite city and the other side didn't even fire an arrow, he began to doubt his life.

what?

No one is guarding the city? Then what is the meaning of this city?

We can't just put this earth wall here and prevent troops from other countries from coming in.

Gongsun Zan slapped his face. He felt that his IQ had dropped significantly since he came here.

However, Zhao Yun had already started to break down the city gate, so he naturally would not delay and led the rest of the men to rush forward.

From a tactical point of view, cavalry entering the city does not have any advantage.

Once street fighting breaks out, the cavalry's advantages cannot be fully utilized.

Gongsun Zan naturally thought of this and covered the horses with a layer of light armor.

However, all his preparations were of no use.

Zhao Yun went in and out of the city seven times and defeated the enemy.

"General Gongsun, can you let me teach this place?"

Liu Yu was afraid that Gongsun Zan would kill all these people.

Liu Yu didn't think of sending these people to mine. He really wanted to educate them.

"Good good."

Gongsun Zan now just wanted to throw away Liu Yu, the buzzing fly, and continue to capture cities and territories.

He quickly left behind a hundred volunteers and fled with the rest on white horses overnight.

……

"Don't be afraid."

Liu Yu was not worried about Gongsun Zan. He summoned the leaders of this small vassal state and asked an interpreter to explain.

The first sentence is——

"We, the Han Dynasty, have been a country of etiquette since ancient times."

"Ah, yes, yes."

The king nodded quickly.

The ceremony was so grand that a thousand cavalrymen went in and out of his territory seven times.

If he could defeat Liu Yu, he would have sent him a gift like this.

Even if all their vassal states were combined, they might not be able to gather so many cavalry.

If Gongsun Zan's people were tall and strong, then their people were short and the horses were thin. Their combat capability was really not that good. Usually, the main general would ride a horse to show off his status.

After all, if you don't know how to ride, shoot, or do horsemanship, it would be more likely for you to get into trouble.

Let me talk about Liu Yu.

The king is right, yes, yes.

If Gongsun Zan were here, he would die of laughter on the spot.

Then learn this trick at the speed of light.

I won’t be afraid of Liu Yu’s nagging anymore.

But soon, Liu Yu also realized that something was wrong.

The person opposite was obviously being sincere and perfunctory.

Back and forth, it's just, hi, search, yo, sago...

Liu Yu can now understand what the other party is saying without the need for translation.

Damn it.

"You translate for him and say if you flatter me again, I'll get angry."

Then, the king of the opposite country immediately knelt down.

He said a lot of gibberish.

The translator also explained with difficulty.

"What he meant was that he was sincerely praising you and had no intention of offending you. The Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so please don't punish me."

"..."

Liu Yu was numb.

However, he is a capable person who manages the affairs of a state and handles them in an orderly manner.

He soon figured out why things were like this here.

In the final analysis, it is because I have no sense of identification with the Han people.

In Youzhou, he could open trading ports with the northern nomadic peoples, establish stable markets, allow everyone to interact in a friendly manner, and establish order.

The fundamental reason.

This is because many tribes outside the Great Wall have admiration for the Han Dynasty.

It itself has been heavily influenced by Han culture.

Firstly, they had been beaten many times by the Han Dynasty and were afraid of its strength. Secondly, as they bordered the Han Dynasty, they could naturally experience the unique prosperity of the Central Plains civilization.

Not to mention that Emperor Gexian is ruling the world now.

There are even tribes that regard Emperor Gexian as the god of immortality.

Liu Yu firmly resisted this.

This is clearly the fate of the Han people, and we cannot compromise on this.

"These people have never seen the prosperity of our Han Dynasty, nor do they share a border with our Han Dynasty. So now they only fear us in terms of strength, but not in terms of cultural identity. It is very difficult to educate them in this way."

The difference between Liu Yu and others is revealed.

People like Ju Shou never thought about educating people.

Instead, they treated these people like animals, beat them into submission, domesticated them, and sent them to carry out mechanical mining.

Liu Yu was different. He felt that humans were humans, not animals, and that they were intelligent. They could be domesticated for a while, but not forever.

Of course, even if these people awaken and resist, it will be of no use.

But killing these people would do no good at all, except to make the Han more notorious, and it would also reduce the number of miners.

"I want to educate the people here and turn them into lower-class Han people first."

Liu Yu thought about it and said.

"The first step is to make everyone in this vassal state learn Chinese characters."

If you want to change, of course you have to start with words.

We must gradually promote the Han language and writing to become the official language of this island nation.

Once this step is achieved, everything else will come naturally and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

After all, only after learning the language can he teach these people what etiquette is, what laws are, what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are, and what it means to be the invincible Emperor of the World.

"Tell me first."

Liu Yu spoke kindly to the leaders of the princes.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

The king immediately tried hard.

"Xixi Dancer, Wei Junjie!"

Chapter 489: General Attack, but Oscar Night!

Although Liu Yu was not very satisfied with these people's accents.

But at least it's easy to learn.

That's good.

He thought about it and sent a memorial back to the court, stating his thoughts.

As a major mining area, we should send more scholars to educate the people.

Know what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are.

Of course, Liu Yu’s most important contribution was to propose a grading system.

All the people of the Han Dynasty are first-class Han citizens. Those who have made great contributions can be promoted to second-class Han citizens. For example, the people of the Weinu Kingdom, who have been educated, are third-class Han citizens.

With the hope of promotion, the chances of causing trouble will be greatly reduced.

Here, Liu Yu was thinking about how to defend his territory.

The eighteen generals have gathered at the city of Yamatai.

Compared with other small vassal states, the city walls of Yamatai at least look much better. What is eye-catching is the prominent landmark building in the city, the castle tower.

After the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Castle Tower.
