The husband and wife talked for a while, Liu Ze had lunch, took a nap, and rushed to the military plane. Chen Qunxin entered the military plane, was on duty, saw Liu Ze, hurriedly greeted, Liu Ze chatted with Chen Qun for a few words, looked at the huge map hanging, and said with a smile: "The Han soldiers are already in Rome at this moment. ”

Chen Qun said: "In terms of time difference, this should be the case. ”

Liu Ze saw that the route of the Han army's attack had been marked on the map, and said to Chen Qun: "Kong Ming arranged his troops, was cautious and strict, advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and this battle could be expected. ”

Chen Qun was about to talk, when Liu Zhen also rushed over. Liu Zhen saw that his Lao Tzu was here, and hurriedly saluted, Liu Ze said: "Get up, in your opinion, when will the war in Rome end?" ”

Liu Zhen has been concerned about this battle for a long time, and has discussed it with his staff in private, and replied: "Father, the Roman region is distributed along the Mediterranean Sea, with a vast territory, and there are many mountains and rivers in it, which can be described as complex terrain; Rome controlled the soldiers with a legion system, cooperated with each other, was well-organized, and had good combat effectiveness; In the Mediterranean, the Roman navy cruised with warships, and its warships were no less powerful than the Han navy. Therefore, in the opinion of the retainers, it will take at least five years to conquer Rome. ”

Liu Ze glanced at Chen Qun, and Chen Qun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just entered the military plane and knows very little about the details of Rome. ”

Liu Ze said: "In my opinion, in less than two years, Rome will surely perish. ”

Liu Zhen hurriedly asked, "How does my father know about it?" ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "I have been a big man for many years, and Rome's national strength has been seriously depleted; The real ruler of Rome was Julia. Misa, not the young emperor of today, acted according to his personal likes and dislikes, although shrewd and capable, the political situation was turbulent at the turn of the old and the new; The Germanic people in the north of Rome are getting stronger and stronger, and they have long coveted Rome, and the Germanic people will take the opportunity to attack when the Han Dynasty sends troops; Although the Gauls were vassals of Rome, the desire for self-reliance was still there, and if Rome was attacked from three sides, the Gauls would take advantage of the situation to become independent; In order to deal with the Roman elite cavalry, I have ordered Hua Xin to manufacture a large number of partial vans and gunpowder weapons in the Western Regions, and use the partial vans to block the charge of the enemy cavalry, and wait for their morale to fail, the Han cavalry is prominent, although the Roman cavalry is elite, it is difficult for our Han to attack; The keel of our naval warship is solid, the bottom of the warship is triangular, the draft is deep, there are wind and waves, such as walking on the ground, on the other hand, the Roman navy, the warship is flat-bottomed, in the event of wind and waves, the bumps are severe, and the standing of the soldiers is still a problem, how to fight? Our naval warships are equipped with slapsticks, stone-throwing carts, bed crossbows, and repeating crossbows, assisted by gunpowder, and how can the attack power be that the Roman warships can resist? With the above points, our army will not be able to capture Rome, although it will not be able to break through, and it will not be far away. ”

Liu Zhen said: "My father thinks long-term, and my son is ashamed. ”

Chen Qun said: "The emperor's words made Weichen suddenly. In this way, the day of the fall of Rome will be the day when the Han army will return home. ”

Liu Ze said: "The beauty of Rome is like a cloud, I wonder if my big man is obsessed with this place?" Don't think about the return date. ”

Liu Zhen said with a smile: "The people of the Han Dynasty have taken root in Rome, which is beneficial to the governance of the place. ”

Liu Ze said: "Changwen, inform the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department that if there is a report of the battle in Rome, no matter when, it will be reported to me. ”

Chen Qun hurriedly replied yes.

Since then, Liu Ze has continued to see the Roman war report, the Han army has advanced extremely smoothly, and the Roman army has resisted and retreated. Later, the Germans and Gauls took the opportunity to attack, and the Roman Empire was full of holes, and Misa was in a mess. Eight months later, the good news came, the Roman capital was captured, and the Roman princes and ministers were captured by the Han army, and now they are being sent to the Han Jingshi to ask the emperor to decide.

Liu Ze received the news that the city of Rome had fallen, and the day of the fall of Rome was not far off. Liu Ze began to think about abdication.

A year and eight months later, the war in Rome was declared high, the Gauls surrendered to the Han, and the Germans were also crippled by the Han army and retreated to its hinterland, which had now crossed the Rhine and Danube rivers and was advancing.

Zhuge Liang wrote to Liu Ze and asked the imperial court to appoint officials to go to Rome. Liu Ze discussed overnight with the Military Aircraft Department and decided to divide Rome into 36 provinces, each of which referred to the Han official system, with one chief executive and four deputies; There is one military commander, who is in charge of the provincial army, two deputies, and one and one deputy missionary lang. The main officials of each Roman province were appointed by the imperial court, and the provinces were divided into counties, and the presiding officials of important counties were also appointed by the imperial court. In this way, the personnel power will be firmly in the hands of the central authorities, and the localities will not be able to make their own decisions. The term of office of each provincial governor is five years, at which time he is rotated or transferred from the locality.

Another month later, when the Germanic region was pacified, Liu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately sent letters to Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, asking them to stabilize the place, wait for the officials sent by the imperial court to arrive, and after stabilizing for a period of time, they could return to the court and wait for the imperial court to reward them.

For the officials sent to Rome, Liu Ze did not participate too much, and let his son Liu Zhen arrange it. Although there were garrisons in each province, for the whole of Rome, the garrisons of the provinces were more than enough to deal with local military affairs, and in the event of a major war, it was necessary to have a hundred elite soldiers to ensure that there would be no major chaos. Liu Ze thought twice and suggested that Liu Zhen take Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, and Huo Jun as the main commanders, and each led a large army to be stationed in Rome for the purpose of deterrence.

One morning, Liu Ze faced the ministers and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been on the throne for 20 years. I wanted to come from a humble background, I wanted to help the world with medical skills, but unexpectedly, the first emperor paid me a heavy responsibility, and had to be the Taishou of Liaodong, for decades, the north chased Xianbei, the south set the three Hans, and put the Fusang Islands as the territory of the Han Dynasty, and then conquered the world, so that there is today's territory. The power of my Han is inviolable, and anyone who offends my Han will be punished even if he is far away; Our Han Dynasty's ambition to dominate the world is unquenchable, and all my Han people, firmly remember this ambition and pass it on to future generations. I am sixty-six years old this year, my health is not as good as before, Liu Zhen is strong, I am determined to pass on the crown prince Liu Zhen, and hope that all the ministers will help and protect him. ”

Liu Ze abdicated, only a few important ministers of the Military Aircraft Department knew, and when the other ministers heard it, they immediately exploded, because over the years, they have been accustomed to working smoothly under the leadership of Liu Ze, and suddenly heard that Liu Ze was also going to pay tribute, panicked in his heart, and was not very suitable for Liu Zhen, and secondly, he still had some doubts about his ability.

Liu Ze saw the appearance of the ministers and shouted: "Be quiet." The alternation of the old and the new, the principle of nature, you are familiar with the scriptures, don't you know this? I have made up my mind, come here, arrange the succession ceremony. ”

In the cool autumn season, a long convoy drove out of the capital and quietly rushed towards Yumen Pass. On a gorgeous car, Liu Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, all the leaves fall back to the roots, you are so old, you are full of children and grandchildren, and you are not in Beijing, why did you accompany me to the land of thousands of miles?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The emperor can give up everything in front of him, what can't I give up?" Besides, how can the island of England that the emperor said be uninhabited? If you and I want to go to this island, I am afraid that there will be a battle. Lian is quite old, can he still eat? Let's see our monarchs and ministers are pretentious, occupy this island, and carve stones and set up monuments, so that future generations will know that this island is the land of my Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Ze laughed and sang loudly, and in the car behind, the piano sounded, and it was Cai Wenji who played the piano and harmonized. After singing the song, Liu Ze and Jia Xu looked at each other and laughed. Amid laughter, horses galloped, and the long convoy was bathed in sunlight and sailed westward.

postscript

After Liu Zhen ascended the throne, she was sad for a while, but fortunately, Ma Tiantian was thoughtful and thoughtful, which made Liu Zhen smile on her face.

After Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were in charge, the land occupied by the West recruited troops on the spot, and a large number of generals of the new generation were used to lead troops to defend it. Soon after, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Xun You, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong specially invited Zhishi, and Liu Zhen agreed, so Zhuge Liang was the prime minister and Zhou Yu was the captain to form a core team. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others are old, and there is no war in the country. The top ten generals, the top ten generals, and the thirty-six generals were all named liehous. At the same time, it is stipulated that those who are generals cannot open up territory for the country, and they are not allowed to be feudal lords from now on.

Liu Ze and Jia Xu came to Gaul, Lu Xun was in charge of the Han Mediterranean Fleet, Liu Ze proposed to borrow 300 warships and 5,000 naval troops, which scared Lu Xun and trembled, everything in this Han is your emperor's family, how can you say that the word borrowing?

Three months later, Liu Ze and Jia Xu teamed up to set foot on the island of England, building houses, guiding farming, and encouraging soldiers to marry local women. The island of England became a paradise.
