Chapter 463

The fall of Panyu City represents the fall of Jiaozhou, and represents the loss of the last land of Kyushu by the State of Wu, and from then on it can only live in a corner of Yizhou and act according to the face of the Central Plains Dynasty.

After the Han army took over Panyu, it quickly advanced to other coastal counties in Nanhai County and swept away Wu's strongholds on the coast.

With the exception of a few small islands that did not border the mainland, all coastal counties and larger ports were occupied by the Han army.

The naval army of Eastern Wu had already quietly moved to Yizhou and abandoned the military port of Panyu.

And because the Han army had already occupied Zhuyazhou, the Wu army of Hepu County, Zhuya County, and Gaoliang County could only flee to Yizhou at the near and far, and those who could not be transferred by sea could only withdraw to Jiaozhi County.

The Han army made rapid progress, Cangwu County and Yulin County were recovered by the Han army one after another, and the entire Jiaozhou, except for the southernmost Jiaozhi, Rinan, and Jiuzhen counties, the rest of the counties were recovered by the Han army.

And it was not the Wu army that occupied the three counties of Jiaozhi, but Liu Bei, who was in the name of Wu and actually supported the army.

Liu Bei has been forbearant in Jiaozhou for several years, but he has not been idle in private, he has worked hard to manage Rinan County and Jiuzhen County, leaving a way out for himself in the future.

And in the south of Ninan-gun, there is a country called Lin-eup, which was originally a county of Ninan-gun, originally called Xianglin County, and later became an independent kingdom called Lin-eup.

There is an old enemy in the west of Linyi, that is, Funan, Funan is strong and Linyi is weak, so he is bullied.

Liu Bei has had a lot of contacts with this forest in the past few years.

Although Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly in the Central Plains, the Han people's military force was still much stronger than that of these Nanyue people.

Liu Bei quickly conquered Lin Yi, and Lin Yi was also happy to have a strong force that could protect him.

Pang Tong used a little means to command the combined forces of Liu Bei and Lin Yi to defeat Funan's army, so that Funan did not dare to develop eastward.

However, at this time, the entire coastal region of Southeast Asia was under the control of the Han navy, and Liu Bei did not dare to confront the Han army, so he also maintained the independence of Linyi on the surface and supported the puppet regime.

Because of this, Linyi gained the right to do business and trade at sea, and with the help of his superior geographical location, it was very prosperous.

It also secretly brought Liu Bei a lot of economic income and urgently needed raw materials.

Because the battle line was too long, the Han army did not immediately recover the entire territory of Jiaozhou, but occupied some of the most important counties and began to govern.

Many reserve officials came to Jiaozhou from Chang'an and held official positions in the counties and counties of Jiaozhou.

Lü Bu appointed Xu Shu as the assassin of Jiaozhou and Zhao Yun as the assassin of Yangzhou to pacify the old department of Wu, pacify the people, and eliminate the remnants of the resistance.

After all, the Sun clan of Eastern Wu has been running the counties of Yangzhou for 20 years, and the latent forces are not small, and there are many people who are loyal to the Wu State.

However, no matter what, the land of Kyushu has finally been unified, and since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Kyushu, which has been divided for decades, has finally returned to great unification.

The Han Empire also completed the great cause of unification, and the state of Wu fled to Yizhou, trapped on the island, and could no longer pose a threat.

In June 212, Lu Bu led the civil and military ministers to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and offered his civil and martial arts to heaven and earth, and the good news that the world was finally unified.

After the end of the civil war, the country was full of singing and dancing, and the country and the people were safe.

Lü Bu began to encourage the people of the Guanzhong region and the Huanghuai valley to migrate south and develop the south of the Yangtze River.

During this period, the crown prince Lü Kang personally marched and led the Rong 1st Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the 2nd Cavalry Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, the Special Operations Division and the 4th Cavalry Division to expedition to Xiqiang and quell the rebellion provoked by the Tang Xuanqiang people.

He even went all the way deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, conquered the Faqiang people, and extended the rule of the Han Empire to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After the war in the south ended, except for a small number of troops stationed in the coastal areas of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou to prevent the remnants of Liu Bei and Sun Quan from stirring up, the rest of the troops returned to the north.

At the same time, the naval base and shipyard in Panyu were expanded, the South China Sea Fleet of the Central Navy was newly established, and Lu Su was appointed commander of the South China Sea Fleet to preside over the daily affairs of the navy.

At this time, the Central Navy had four fleets, the Bohai Fleet, the Yellow Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet, and the Indian Ocean Fleet, in addition to the two river defense fleets of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

The four major fleets, except for the Bohai Fleet, each of the other three fleets are equipped with an Imperial-class sail battleship as the flagship.

The weak Wu navy can only play hide and seek with the navy of the Great Han.

Occasionally, the warship of a lone man dares to come forward to provoke, and the rest of the time it is elusive.

The Han army attacked Kaohsiung, the home port of the Soochow Navy, twice, but to no avail.

The geographical conditions of Kaohsiung Port are very superior, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the batteries on the coast are also equipped with ten-inch guns, which have an extremely long range, and the Han warships can not easily get close.

The Wu army secretly established overseas colonies in the Philippines, and although they could not build such a galleon ship as the Empire, they could not afford to build shipbuilding technology and artillery technology.

However, it was still possible to build some 500-ton galleons, and they also engaged in sea smuggling, secretly opening up routes to Southeast Asia and even the Indian Ocean.

The maritime smuggling trade and the tax revenues from the colonies became the two most important sources of the Wu economy, supporting its survival.

At the end of the civil war, Lu Bu made certain adjustments to the national defense army, and it was imperative to streamline the army.

The cavalry units, in particular, were reduced in number and the infantry units increased.

Scientific and technological research and development has become the top priority, and the huge military expenditure has begun to tilt towards weapon research and development, and attempts to convert military to civilian use have begun.

The booming military industry and large orders from Central and West Asia have enabled these factories to produce at full capacity, especially some equipment that has been eliminated or is about to be eliminated by the Han army has found a suitable home.

The unremitting reform of the education system has yielded initial results, and all prefectures, counties and counties have established their own primary and secondary schools, and university halls have been established at the state level.

Almost all school-age children attend school, literacy efforts have been effective, and the literacy rate has increased significantly throughout the country.

Even in the grasslands of the north, Lü Bu insisted on opening schools for the children of herders, and military clerks served as teachers in hard-to-reach places where the Ministry of Education was hard-to-reach.

The nomads of the northern steppes became less and less, either enslaved by the Han Chinese or driven further north to the wastelands, and the slave privateers gradually lost their source of prey.

They have begun to move to Central and West Asia, where there are many new lands and new discoveries.

The Han government is also immigrating to these places in an organized and planned way to encroach on the whole world with population.

At any time, caravans came and went frequently, and all kinds of people were mixed into the caravans of trade between various countries and the Han Dynasty, and the Silk Road entered a golden period of great development.
