Gao Yuan arranged an independent courtyard for Wang Jian on the shore of Dayan Lake, and the guards inside were responsible for the guards brought by Wang Jian himself, and the periphery was responsible for the Meihua Department of the Young Guards, if the current Han is the cleanest, it is undoubtedly Dayan Lake, due to the open national policy, other cities in the Han Dynasty, even if it is Jicheng, is also a place where spies gather, but Dayan Lake is here, because there are many important people living there, but the guards are the most thorough, not far from Dayan Lake, There is a battalion of Han soldiers stationed on guard, and in the surrounding villages, I don't know how many secret agents Cao Tianci has installed, and it is really impossible for Qin Chu's spies to settle down here to find out.

In the small hall, Wang Jian's expression was calm, but Huang Ming was a little anxious, and after the initial meeting with Gao Yuan, he told Huang Ming all the results. Huang Ming is a rare figure under Wang Jian who is both civil and military, not only proficient in military affairs, but also quite a set of cultural governance.

"General, I don't think it's feasible to do this trade matter, have you forgotten how Daqin's economy collapsed? If we allow them to dump low-priced goods into our territory, we are afraid that it will also deal a devastating blow to the economy of our territory. Huang Ming said solemnly.

"If the merchants of the Han Dynasty are not allowed to enter our territory, then why should the Han Kingdom support us? Our military industry is so poor that now we can't even do the armor of all the soldiers, and the bed crossbow we made ourselves can't even reach the level of Daqin before, and there is no iron mine in any part of our place. Copper mines, weapons are hammered out by blacksmiths, such low efficiency, how can we maintain the strength of our army, how to resist the enemy's attack? Wang Jian looked at Huang Ming, "If you lose, you will gain." Since we want to get military support from the Han Dynasty, we naturally need to pay the price. ”

"But this price is likely to lead to our demise in the end." Huang Mingdao: "In the military, we already have to rely on the Han, if we can't maintain self-sufficiency in the economy, then how can we stand?" How do you maintain your integrity? ”

Wang Jian was silent for a moment, "Huang Ming, do you think we can maintain integrity?" ”

Huang Ming looked at Wang Jian for a long time, and finally sat down.

"The power of the black-clothed eater. Even if we only see the tip of the iceberg now, do you think we can resist it now? ”

Huang Ming shook his head.

"You know the power of the Great Han very well, and it is not something we can stop." Wang Jian smiled bitterly, "We are sandwiched between two giants, if you have to choose one to rely on, which one will you choose?" ”

"Do you still have to choose?" Huang Ming smiled bitterly, "If I have to choose one, I will naturally choose Dahan." After all, we must be of the same species, and those black-clothed eaters are too barbaric. They have no intention of coexisting with us, and the army of black-clad food that has invaded my territory is nothing but a defeated army, but when they came, their only purpose was to kill us all so that they could take over the land. ”

"You're right. Our strength is too weak, so we have to rely on one side. Wang Jian stood up, "And Dahan is undoubtedly our choice." So. I have decided that not only will I allow the merchants of the Han Dynasty to travel freely in our land, but I will also allow them to set up factories in my territory and invest in any industry on our land. ”

"Although I will build the country independently, I will present my letter of state to the Han Dynasty, be willing to be a subject country of the Han Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year."

"Now my child is still very young, when he is a little older, I will send him to Dahan to study and live, not only me, but also you generals, so as to show Dahan that we are willing to submit to them."

"General!" Huang Ming said with some pain.

"Huang Ming, the first thing we have to do is to survive, the Han is too powerful for us, it's not that they don't have the ability to clean us up, but now they can't take care of cleaning us up at all, Gao Yuan said very frankly, their current focus is on unifying the Central Plains, and after the unification of the Central Plains, digesting this huge territory will also consume more of their energy, so for a long time, the Han is actually no threat to us. But when the Han stabilizes, then it may be said, so our attitude will determine our fate in the future, or the fate of our next generation. Wang Jian took a deep breath.

"For at least one or two generations, there is no way for us to get rid of our dependence on the big Han. But the Han will not always be strong, and we may not always be weak, and when we are still very weak, what we have to do is to study desperately, to absorb the advanced things of the Han, their factories, their systems, we attract what we need, remove those that are harmful to us, and we will slowly become stronger. ”

Wang Jian turned around, took the globe from the big case behind him, and put it in front of Huang Ming, "This is given to me by Gao Yuan, here, is where our land is, you come to see, our outside, there is a broader world, we can rely on the powerful Han State, with their support, desperately expand outward, I see what Gao Yuan means, he is also happy to see us do this." Our territory will grow bigger and bigger, our people will grow more and more, and we will become stronger and stronger, and one day, either our sons or our grandchildren, we will be able to stand side by side with them. ”

"This is a long-term plan, this is my dream, Huang Ming, what our generation wants to do is to survive and make us grow stronger in a longer time, and this dream of mine is counting on our next generation, the next generation to do it, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, Huang Ming, are you willing to be this person who planted trees?"

Huang Ming's expression was excited, and he slammed to the ground: "General, Huang Ming is willing." ”

"Great, you and me, what brothers haven't come, as long as we work together, we can definitely do a great job." Wang Jian reached out and held Huang Ming's hand, "For the sake of the future, we must bend our knees now." ”

"My subordinates understood."

"Go and draft a letter of state according to my wishes." Wang Jian said with relief, "In the next few days, Gao Yuan will take me to see the most advanced weapons of their Han Dynasty, and I hope that when we go back, there will be hundreds of carriages, and the carriages are carrying what we need." ”

"Also, Gao Yuan gave me a complete set of various laws of their Great Han, you can take a look at it and study it when you are fine, Gao Yuan said that the reason why the Great Han is so powerful now is rooted in these laws." Patting the thick, almost half-human-tall book beside him, Wang Jian said.

"Yes, the Admiral will definitely study it carefully. Only by getting to know them as much as we can and understanding them will we do better than them. Huang Ming said seriously.

Twenty miles away from Dayan Lake, the soldiers from Dayan County have completely imposed martial law here, and no one is allowed to step into it, and in the inner enclosure, there is the second cordon of the Young Guards.

"Wang, the first item to show is the latest generation of arm crossbow produced by the Hu clan in Jishi City, the crossbow weighs five catties, which is one catty lower than the arm crossbow currently used by our army, with a range of 200 meters, effective killing and wounding of 100 people, and effective armor piercing of 80 meters." Gao Quan, director of the Military Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Construction, said loudly.

Gao Yuan nodded, turned his head and explained in a low voice to Wang Jian, who was sitting beside him: "My Han has opened many military products to civilian production, and this Hu Clan's military workshop has purchased the production technology of the arm crossbow, and they have been working on improving this product for the past two years, and it seems to be working well." What's more, he has reduced the cost by nearly 20% compared to our own production before. ”

"Military products are open to private production, and it is a sharp weapon like a crossbow, and only a big man dares to do this!" Wang Jian sighed.

Gao Yuan laughed, "It's good if you don't treat the people as enemies, but our dynasty in the Central Plains has always seemed to defend against the people and even against external enemies, in fact, I just did some normal things, but in such an environment, it seems abnormal, general, let's see how powerful he is!" ”

More than a dozen targets were placed at a distance of 100 meters, ten soldiers held their arms and crossbows, and an officer stood on one side, and with the small red flag in the officer's hand, the bodies of the ten soldiers fell back slightly, which was the recoil of the crossbow. Ten bolts flew towards their target with a whistling sound.

A moment later, ten armored straw men were brought to the two of them, their crossbow arrows digging deep into their armor.

"Didn't you just say that you can break the armor within 80 meters, and this 100 meters away, the armor has already been broken." Wang Jiancha looked at the damage of the crossbow arrow and asked with some surprise.

"This is a boutique made by them, specially for us to inspect, naturally stronger than the ordinary, but if it is produced in large quantities, it will definitely not be able to achieve 100-meter armor piercing." Gao Quan, commander of the Military Industry Bureau, explained, "So we set it as 80 meters of armor piercing, and the Wu Military Workshop is not different." ”

"It's a weapon, indeed." Wang Jian held this arm crossbow and couldn't put it down.

"In fact, the biggest improvement of this crossbow bolt is not in the range and power, but in the speed of the winding." Gao Quan took a crossbow with an arm, skillfully twisted it, and then put the crossbow arrow into the arrow slot, closed his hand, Kaka sounded twice, the crossbow arrow was ready, and Gao Quan presented the crossbow arrow with both hands.

If the previous range only surprised Wang Jian, but such a fast winding speed shocked Wang Jian, if there is such a winding speed, then the infantry is simply the scythe of death when dealing with the cavalry charge. (To be continued......)
