Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "It is not difficult to transfer from the south of the Yangtze River to the open sea, we have not explored Fusang and the South China Sea for a long time, mainly because of the war in Kyushu and the insuitability of the ships." But these legendary places do exist after all. ”

Qi Xin realized that Li Xinchen was not joking with himself, and his expression became serious, the territory of the Han Dynasty had reached Jiaozhi and Rinan, but according to records, Rinan had not yet reached the south of the sun, and there was still a large area of land to the south, where the sun and rain were abundant, and it was also an out-and-out land of fish and rice.

Not to mention that there are legendary sea fairy mountains such as Penglai and Fusang to the east.

Now it seems that the civil war in China has not ended, but Li Xinchen's eyes are obviously no longer limited to this.

It's just that I don't know what Li Xinchen is doing in such a hurry to plan overseas?

If you take a boy and a girl to find the elixir, Qi Xin will resolutely not do it, this is originally an ethereal thing, when Qin Shi Huang swept Liuhe, didn't he get the way to immortality in the end, this kind of task that is destined to be unfinished, of course Qi Xin will not be stupid to carry it out, not to mention that behind this is indispensable to work and lose money.

As if seeing through Qi Xin's thoughts, Li Xinchen smiled and said: "The tomb has no interest in immortality, and the lifespan is originally destined by God, and it is impossible to ask for it at all." Seeking the elixir of immortality is something that would not be done. ”

As a later generation, Li Xinchen certainly does not believe in this nonsense.

Seeing that Qi Xin breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xinchen had a few more praises for this person, and then said: "The Han Dynasty perished because it was too strong, and in the end, the country was divided and foreign invasions were made, so that we have today. Now that we have brought these 300 years of war to peace again, we must think of a solution to this problem for a long time. What's more, even if we can take Jiangnan in a short time, we still need to find a suitable way to obtain cheaper labor and more food supplies in the long run. ”

Qi Xin vaguely guessed something.

Business!

His Royal Highness the King of Han attaches great importance to commerce and trade is unprecedented, and it turns out that it is precisely because of his attention and encouragement that the commerce and trade of Shu Han are booming, and even in turn promoting the development of agriculture, which makes many people slander Li Xinchen while deviating from the norm, but also have to admit that His Royal Highness the King of Han has indeed found a new way to govern the country in the troubled times.

If you want to completely avoid this kind of tragedy from happening again, you must think of a way to make the country strong but not divided because of the strength.

At least what Li Xinchen is doing now gives people a good idea.

Clearly, Li Xinchen is setting his sights on the open sea, or to be more precise, on the East and South China Seas, in order to develop commerce and trade through shipping.

In Qi Xin's experience, this is not impossible.

But Qi Xin also knows that with the current ships and navigation technology, it is inevitably a little difficult to reach the places Li Xinchen wants to go smoothly. There are very few records in history before.

This must not be a year or two of effort, but if there is strong support from the imperial court, it is not impossible.

Listening to Li Xinchen's meaning, it seems to ······

Li Xinchen smiled and said, "This time in the big battle, General Qi is already tired, right?" Now the shipyards in the southern county and Ba county are studying to build new sea ships, in order to improve the problems of the original sea ships and building ships, so that our warships can easily sail on the sea, no longer afraid of wind and waves, General Qi is the most experienced sailor general under a certain command, I don't know if I am interested in going to see? ”

Qi Xin was stunned for a moment, and his heart was suddenly ecstatic, his current position is undoubtedly a little embarrassing, if he returns to the army, then he will face a group of subordinates who betrayed him, and he will have to be on an equal footing with Wang Chang, who was once clothed, and may even have to obey Wang Chang's orders, which is of course difficult for Qi Xin to accept.

But if you want to really disarm and return to the field, how much is he unwilling, and he has come all the way, and he is inevitably a little aggrieved.

Now that Li Xinchen has adopted such a method, it obviously gives him a chance to rest for a while, but he will not really leave the army.

Qi Xin wants to avoid the embarrassment of his current identity, and Li Xinchen also needs an experienced general to guide the construction of the new warship, which is obviously a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Especially now that the construction of new warships has encountered some empirical difficulties, it is necessary for people like Qi Xin to exist, these new sea ships can not only open the maritime Silk Road in advance, bring enough wealth to Li Xinchen, but also can be used as one of the means to attack the Central Plains in the north.

Li Xinchen knew the tactics of the U.S. imperialist landing at Incheon, and he had to admire Lao Mai. MacArthur was arrogant, arrogant, and even selfish, but this did not prevent him from giving full play to the advantages of US imperialism, whether it was the island hopping operation or the Inchon landing, the industrial superiority, strategic projection superiority, and precision strike of US imperialism were brought into full play.

Li Xinchen did not expect to be able to stage a perfect Inchon landing in this era, but if he could carry soldiers to attack Shandong or Hebei directly, then it would be equivalent to gaining a foothold in the enemy's rear, which would definitely be beneficial to the war in the north.

This war has been carried out to this point, and all that is left of Nan Chen is to resist stubbornly, so it is necessary for Li Xinchen to start preparing for the next war.

"If General Qi has no opinion, he can leave for Ba County in the next two days." Li Xinchen said with a smile.

Qi Xin solemnly arched his hand: "Obey the order, my subordinates will definitely create a sailor for His Highness who can crisscross the sea." ”

"No," Li Xinchen interrupted him in surprise to Qi Xin, looking at Qi Xin, who didn't know where he was wrong, Li Xinchen laughed, "It's the navy." ”

Qi Xin was stunned for a moment, this name was something he had never heard before.

The Navy, the Navy, the army born for the sea, has been aiming at the sea of stars from the moment it was born!

At this moment, Qi Xin no longer doubted Li Xinchen's determination to develop maritime power.

Seeing Qi Xin turn around and leave, Li Xinchen took a deep breath, and Li Ping knocked on the hatch at this time: "Your Highness, the queen asks to see you." ”

Li Xinchen responded, Li Ping hurriedly opened the door, Lechang slowly approached, the maidservant behind him was holding the soup pot, looking at Li Xinchen with a tired look, Lechang couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but it was not good for outsiders to come forward.

Noticing Lechang's tangled expression, Li Xinchen was angry and funny, waved his hand, and the guards and the maidservants retreated very well, and Li Xinchen grabbed Lechang's hand: "What's wrong?" ”
