Chapter 579: Three Counties (Second Shift)
After explaining this, Xiao He and Chen Ping retreated, and after looking at their retreating backs, Ying Gao couldn't help laughing, because for him, this matter was really what he wanted.
After going to the Peacock Dynasty for a while, he probably still has a good idea of the development of the Peacock Dynasty, but there is one thing that he can't worry about the most, that is, the Peacock Dynasty needs a navy.
Although in this era, Yinggao's thinking is progressive, although this time he relied on Lu Jia's mountain to find a shortcut, but in the future, the war between dynasties and dynasties will not only rely on his legs to walk over, but the waterway is the king.
Inco knows that 70% of the entire planet is the sea, which is undoubtedly unknown to people in this era.
In other words, if you can have a team of sailors that surpass this era, then first of all, you are equivalent to being invincible, which is also undoubted, so not using it now does not mean that you will not be able to use it in the future, your navy is strong, and there is no place in the world that you can't go.
But judging from the current situation of the Peacock Dynasty, coupled with the assassination he suffered in a city not very far away from Hua City, Ying Gao can only put this matter aside for the time being, and dispatch the concentrated forces to Meng Tian, otherwise, once the troops are divided to build a naval army, Meng Tian's command will directly lose tens of thousands of people, and there is also the task of guarding Hua City, in case it is used by the ill-intentioned dynasty, it will not be a good thing.
Now that he has come back for a few months, Yinggao believes that the large and small cities of the Peacock Dynasty should basically be in the hands of Lu Jia and Meng Tian, and there should be at least no blatant opposition to them in the territory.
In this era, after all, there is no fast means of transportation, land transportation requires great manpower and material resources, in comparison, if you can build a stable cargo ship, coupled with skilled sailors and accurate charts, the risk of sea transportation will be greatly reduced, and the heavier the cargo, the more cost and time will be saved by waterway transportation, this truth Chen Ping they don't know now, but Yinggao knows.
Originally, Yinggao was still a little hesitant about how this matter should be arranged, although Peng Yue and Sima Xin were okay to fight and train the navy, but the two of them Yinggao already knew quite well, they were not all-rounders, and what they could do was limited.
If you want to go hand in hand with the development of naval and shipping, shipbuilding, you can't do it without a person who can really do it, and in the end it can only be a mess, and you don't understand anything.
But as soon as Chen Ping brought it up, this problem was naturally solved, because Chen Ping was such a talent, but Yinggao didn't want him to go before, if he gave him the entire coastal places of the Mauryan Dynasty to manage, and finally formed a mature channel between Daqin and the Peacock Dynasty, it would be just around the corner.
Although Chen Ping didn't understand Yinggao's idea very well at the time, but after returning to the mansion, Chen Ping has been sketching the map of the Peacock Dynasty and Great Qin by himself, when the large ocean between the Peacock Dynasty and Great Qin was presented in front of him, he suddenly seemed to understand Yinggao's meaning a little, so he remembered every word that Yinggao had said to him in Xianyang Palace before, and secretly decided that after arriving at the beach of the Peacock Dynasty, he would study the waterway from Daqin to the Peacock Dynasty.
In the second month after Chen Ping went to the Peacock Dynasty, Yinggao issued an edict in the entire Great Qin, dividing the part of the Mauryan Dynasty that had belonged to the Great Qin into three counties with a large area, namely Linxi County, Linzhong County and Linhai County.
From the point of view of naming, although it is a little more casual, but it is also quite direct, but everyone began to realize from this time that the previous Peacock Dynasty did not exist, and they had already become the three ordinary counties on the territory of Daqin, in addition to the large area, no matter from which point of view, they were indeed ordinary.
Meng Tian, Lu Jia and Chen Ping have undoubtedly become the county guards of these three counties, but although they are delaying the county guards, except for Chen Ping, who is responsible for the major affairs of Linhai County, Meng Tian and Lu Jia are still stationed in Hua's City, where they are in charge of the overall situation.
Chen Ping's arrival took away Peng Yue and also took away 50,000 sailors, although the 50,000 sailors were not much, but they also made Meng Tian feel distressed, after all, he knew how difficult it was to transport a sergeant, and now there are only so many sergeants in the Peacock Dynasty, and if he takes away 50,000, it will be 50,000 less, and in his heart he also disagrees with Yinggao to engage in any navy at this time, Meng Tian has always thought that it is better to destroy the Seleuc and other small dynasties first with so much spare time. It doesn't hurt to have more territory, isn't it?
The change brought about by the Mauryan Dynasty becoming three counties was not only in name, when their name became a county of Great Qin, almost all the people of the Mauryan Dynasty who lived in the cities occupied by Great Qin had already registered their identities and transmitted the information to Fahrenheit City, and then copied and passed it to Great Qin.
This also marks that the people of the Mauryan Dynasty have officially become the people of Daqin, they have Daqin's hukou, and they also carry Daqin's test and other things when they go out, and the language has gradually begun to use the language of Daqin, and the things left in their bodies and hearts by the Mauryan Dynasty are becoming less and less.
At the same time as the counties were demarcated, the passage from the Mauryan Empire to the Western Regions and even to Great Qin was officially opened to the people of the Mauryan Empire.
According to the regulations, if a person from the Peacock Dynasty wants to go to the territory of Great Qin, first of all, you must have an identity and have a test approved by the local officials, that is, you need a legitimate reason, even if it is to do business.
Then there is the language, there is a place in Fahrenheit City, which is a place dedicated to testing the level of the people of the Mauryan Empire to learn the language of Great Qin.
Here, participants will be given a test to choose five answers from the questions personally presented by Yinggao, as long as they can understand most of the daily Daqin language, and can speak some simple Daqin language, they can pass the test.
With those things, and then pass the test, you can go to the Western Regions or the territory of Great Qin, but if you don't go back after the deadline, their hukou will be eliminated, and the hukou is the pass of Daqin, Yinggao believes that there will not be a serious common people of the Mauryan Dynasty who want to lose their hukou.
These demands seemed to almost all the people of the Mauryan Empire. That's not too much, even for themselves, if they really don't understand the language, they don't want to go even if they let them go, and they don't have to want to go if they don't understand the language, basically it's either treachery or theft.
It was also in the spring of this edict that the Mauryan Dynasty arrived, on the seashore that had just been named Daqin Linhai County, warships gathered in different directions, and finally docked neatly in a dock by the sea that had been abandoned for a long time.
This is the place where the relics ordered to speed up the production of warships, although in the past two years because of the changes in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, this place is no longer what it used to be, but Chen Ping still found this place not long after arriving here, he observed along the coastline of the Mauryan Dynasty for nearly half a month, and his heart was still very admired by the craftsmen of the Mauryan Dynasty who built ships here.
The place they chose was really very scientific, it was a natural protrusion on the originally flat coastline, and the warships, whether they had just been built or docked in this place, could be lined up along the coast, rather than just placed on the shore in a mess.
So, this place was directly designated by Chen Ping as the barracks of the Great Qin Navy in Linhai County, for this decision, Peng Yue was also very supportive, when Chen Ping arrived, he also had a letter written by Yinggao himself to Peng Yue.
In the letter, Yinggao also put forward several requirements for Peng Yue, the first of which is naturally to train the navy, but the other two have basically nothing to do with combat, one is to improve the existing warship under the same quantity, to see how to make it more solid, more able to adapt to the route from Daqin to the Peacock Dynasty.
In addition, it is necessary to refine the existing charts according to their previous experience, and then send warships to take this route repeatedly until they find the safest and shortest distance.
Peng Yue was also a little confused about Yinggao's request at the beginning, and said in his heart that you asked me to develop a naval army for the sake of war, Daqin has already reached the Peacock Dynasty, what is the point of you repeating it?
But after he informed Chen Ping of his question, Chen Ping woke him up with a short sentence: What the king wanted was to send supplies from the Peacock Dynasty to Great Qin, not to fight.
In this era, there was no concept of merchant ships in China, and there were very few ships on the sea to transport supplies.
Peng Yue knew that this was definitely a difficult bone to gnaw, but at least he had a lot of directions now, such as remembering how long before they sailed and the storm they began to encounter, where the reef knocked over a few ships, and where there seemed to be a few small islands.
With these directions, Peng Yue didn't have to worry about having nothing to do, and after Chen Ping woke up Peng Yue, he himself immediately threw himself into endless busyness.
All the cities in Linhai County were occupied by the officials of Daqin at the end, and the people here were the least, because many of them ran to the cities near Hua's City before, and because this was far away from Hua's City occupied by Daqin, many cities were occupied by high-ranking castes before, and then they didn't know where to go, so there were several empty cities alone.
Not only that, but most of the people who stayed for Chen Ping were old and weak, but Chen Ping was not in a hurry about these, he just asked the translator he brought to lay a good foundation for the language of the people here as soon as possible, and as for the rest, Chen Ping knew that it would be solved sooner or later.
The complete disappearance of the Mauryan Dynasty has attracted the attention of some forces, including the Seleuc Dynasty and some surrounding small forces who have been keeping an eye on the Mauryan Dynasty, as well as Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, who are on the border of the Seleucian Dynasty and have not dared to make any moves for a long time.
After two or three months of cultivation, Zhao Hu, who had been asked for almost half a life by Yinggao with an arrow in his sleeve, relieved himself, and after recovering, he became more reticent, but for the news of the Peacock Dynasty, Daqin, or Yinggao, he was particularly concerned, Hu Hai and Zhao Chengdu knew that Zhao Hu must be holding his breath in his heart, and the last defeat hit him a little hard.
"Great Qin actually divided a Peacock Dynasty into three counties, it seems that the Great Qin Emperor's appetite is really not small!"
After hearing the news, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai sat together, Zhao Cheng sighed slightly, of course, the sigh was also full of helplessness.
"This brother of mine, how big his appetite is, you must not guess, in his heart, this world seems to have no end."
After listening to Zhao Cheng's words, Hu Hai sighed slightly, he was really smart when he was young, and he could basically know what kind of person was standing in front of him with a little look, but he had seen Yinggao wrong before.
"Now that he has divided the Peacock Dynasty into three counties, I'm afraid what plans will he have in the future! In my opinion, it will not be long before the cavalry of Great Qin and the Xiongnu will roll in, and we will have to find a way back for ourselves, otherwise, once the Seleu is broken, there is no need for the Seleu monarch to be caught by the generals of Great Qin, and a few of us will definitely bear the brunt. ”
Zhao Cheng obviously felt that the situation was not very good, and even had the feeling of wanting to run away again, and now he felt that Yinggao was probably already sharpening his knives against the Seleuc dynasty, and when the army of others really came, he couldn't run if he wanted to.
"It doesn't matter, Seleuc's strength is not much worse than Daqin's strength in the Peacock Dynasty, although Daqin also has an ally Xiongnu, but they are just a gods-on-the-other appearance, if they really send troops again, in my opinion, it is unlikely that they will unite, and this Seleuc is just in Xiang Yu's land, so Daqin's cavalry should not come, and only one Xiang Yu, why are we so afraid?"
Zhao Cheng listened to Hu Hai's words again, and his heart was a little relieved, and he thought about it carefully, in the current situation, except for the Seleucid Dynasty, which had already made enemies with Great Qin at the beginning, which other dynasty that did not open his eyes dared to touch them.
