Chapter 190: Da Sima is Busy (1)
The Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties were major political events in the international political arena of East Asia in the third century.
And then what? Without.
Not to mention the Han and Wu countries, even the backward countries and tribes such as Goguryeo, Sanhan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Xiqiang on this continent. In fact, everyone has long known that the Wei and Jin dynasties were inevitable. So when he really happened, everyone just said "oh" and said: It's finally done.
What should you do in the next few days?
However, when it comes to Han and Wu, they are also a little confused.
In the past, Han and Wu were allies, but who was this alliance aimed at? Cao Wei. The ruler of this alliance is still on the map, and he has divided Cao Wei's territory in advance. For decades, the policy of these two countries towards Cao Wei has been one word: fight!
But now Cao Wei doesn't exist. What attitude should we have towards this newborn Jin Kingdom?
Especially for Shu Han, a country that claims to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family. Of course, Cao Wei has nothing to say, the usurper thief must be fought to the end. But if you don't eliminate this usurper on your side, what is the Jin Kingdom that has eliminated this usurper now? Is it a hero? Loyal and righteous?
Therefore, Liu Chan, who has been busy drinking in the harem since Guan Yi opened the mansion, finally came to the front desk and presided over a big court meeting.
"Your Majesty, the minister Fan Jian thinks that he should send an envoy to congratulate the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and the two countries will cease fighting and stop their wars, and exchange alliances."
"Well, Shang Shuling means to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom? But the land of the Jin Kingdom, in the past, my Han and Eastern Wu were divided. β
"Your Majesty, this is exactly the second meaning that the minister wants to say. After forming an alliance with the Jin State, our country focused on defense in the north, and then turned its main force to the southeast. β
As an old man from Jingzhou who came out of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's mansion in the past, Fan Jian used to be a steady Northern Expedition faction, that is, the Northern Expedition was needed, but not too often. But the battle in the first year of Yanxing changed Fan Jian's thinking: fortunately, Guan Yi turned the tide and wiped out the enemy army. Otherwise, Shu Han will be destroyed! Once Shu Han died in the country, his old man would go to Luoyang to be an apartment. In this way, the Fan family will be reduced to a third-rate family in the Jin Kingdom, which is in the middle of the Nine Grades, and will not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives.
Is this worth it?! So the top priority is to get Jingzhou back! After taking back Jingzhou, the Jingzhou faction is not a rootless tree. Not to mention that the construction of the talent echelon is guaranteed, even if the big man is not there one day, the Fan family can become a first-class family in Jingzhou......
It can be said that Fan Jian's ideas represent the thoughts of a large number of Jingzhou old people. They were really frightened by the big war the year before last - whether it was Cao Wei or the Jin Kingdom, they were all too strong. If you don't agree with each other, you will throw more than 200,000 yuan over. The key is that he lost more than 200,000 yuan and was crowned king and usurped the throne. This, the other party is too strong! Therefore, take advantage of the good opportunity of the demise of Cao Wei and the obvious reduction of the political burden of Shu Han, form an alliance with the Jin State, and then pick up the soft pinch of the persimmon and attack on Eastern Wu. For more than 40 years, the Han Dynasty has not been able to advance an inch in the north, so it is better to change the strategic direction of development.
"Your Majesty, Shang Shuling's words. The minister did not agree. β
At this time, it was the Chinese book who stood up to speak, and it was the Chinese book that shot the eagle (provided with the help of the book friend tangthuvien). This person is a descendant of the archery family of the Fufeng County clan. His ancestor was the first to go out of Chang'an to present the Han Emperor, and when he saw that the Emperor Xian had no future, he ran to Yizhou to attach himself to Liu Yan, and when he saw that Liu Zhang was not good, he immediately surrendered to Liu Bei's shooting.
Although the character of the shooting aid is not very good, the talent is leveraged (in modern society, it seems that it is nothing to change jobs if this company does not develop well). During Liu Bei's reign as the king of Hanzhong, shooting aid was the first servant under Shangshu Ling Fazheng, and the power in his hands was greater than Zhuge Liang. If it weren't for the later implementation of the policy of being the first in Jingzhou by Shu Han, the archery family would not have been a big family of Shu Han.
Even so, after all, people have entered Shu early and accumulated for a long time. As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. After Lai Min died, the Wu family and the descendants of the Lai family hung up their military posts and left the town. The shooter became the representative of the Dongzhou faction in the Shu Han court.
For the Dongzhou faction, the big battle in the first year of Yanxing was also too scared. Once the Shu Han perished and Yizhou implemented the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system, they would also be relocated back to their hometowns - they had been away from home for sixty or seventy years. I'm a scum when I go back! And unlike Jingzhou, which is close at hand, the ancestral homes of the Dongzhou faction are scattered all over the country. So at this time, the Dongzhou faction became a staunch supporter of the Northern Expedition: Jingzhou was defeated, and the Dongzhou faction had no one to accompany and accept all kinds of dislikes from the Yizhou people!
"Your Majesty, whether it is Wei or Jin, its national strength is much stronger than that of my Han and Eastern Wu. In today's world, the one who can pose a threat to the survival of our Han Dynasty is by no means Eastern Wu, but only the Jin Kingdom. Even if the Jin State is willing to form an alliance with our country to jointly take Eastern Wu. What about after Soochow was taken down? β
"What does the book mean?"
"Send an envoy to reaffirm the alliance to Soochow. Then continue to unite against the Jin state. β
"Well, then...... Oh, I almost forgot. Liu Chan patted his face self-deprecatingly: "Hey, why didn't Da Sima come today?" β
"Father Qi, Da Sima went to the Sword Pavilion last month. He has not returned. β
Yes, Guan Da Sima, as the chairman of the State Military Commission and the premier of the State Council, was quite busy.
As a time-traveler, he never believed that he could get real data and understand the real situation while sitting in his office. Therefore, since the third year of Yanxing, after the various new policies (in fact, there are only three, household tax, salt mine sales, and copper mine trading rights) have been rolled out in Shuhan counties, he took Huo Zai and pounced.
Of course, in addition to understanding the livelihood of the grassroots people, Guan Yi has another very important thing to do. This matter, he expected that Yanxing would initially start the experiment in the second year, and Yanxing would be fully rolled out in the third year. By the time Yanxing is five or six years old, it will be basically completedβat that time, it will be time for the Northern Expedition again.
This is a major project that covers the whole country - on a main road that stretches from Hanzhong in the north to Nanzhong in the south, which is more than 1,500 kilometers long. Wherever there is a mountain barrier, all the ziplines or reinforced plank roads are erected!
There are too many mountains in Shuhan. While the reckless mountains provide security for Shu Han, they also seriously restrict the domestic transportation of Shu Han. As mentioned above, the grain produced on the ground in Chengdu had to be transported to the front line of the Northern Expedition at least more than 70%. With Shu Han's national strength, this kind of attrition, even if he, a traverser, keeps hanging on Shu Han, he can't afford it. In order to prevent his own Northern Expedition from being sad in the future, he will "retreat from the army" again after running out of food. Then before the Northern Expedition, he had to solve the problem of excessive consumption of grain in the north.
Without a shield machine, this era is not to think about digging holes in the mountains. What Guan Yi can do is to erect ziplines and reinforce plank roads everywhere in the vast mountains of Shu Han.
The so-called zipline is made in three steps.
The first step is to make a hole in the mountain of Mt. A and Mt. B, and this hole is to be played vertically, and when it reaches a certain level, it will be extended horizontally to the left and right. The skeleton is then woven with wire in this space. Then cement is injected β like a large expansion screw in the mountain. The cable is then erected between the two expansion screws.
In this era, there were no high-strength steel wires, so the production of cables was also very troublesome. First of all, the branches of various vines and plants should be soaked in tung oil, and then repeatedly wound and tied with iron wire and bamboo wire, and then soaked in tung oil repeatedly for a long time before a cable is completed.
The third step is to erect the cables. This is the least technical, but also the most labor-intensive: tie one end of the rope and then throw the other end down the mountain. The people at the bottom of the mountain took turns to relay the other end of the rope to the other hill little by little, and bound it to the cement expansion screws that had been laid at the top of the mountain. Then, the zipline between Mt. A and Mt. B is set up.
This thing originated in the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest region. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the entire Hengduan Mountains were full of such ziplines. Even in modern times, in a few areas with limited accessibility, ziplines still play an irreplaceable role.
As for reinforcing the boardwalk. This is also because of the cement Guan Yi to do this.
What did the plank road of Shu Han look like in the past? First, people were sent down from the cliff ropes, and the people hung in mid-air to punch holes in the mountain, and then inserted wooden stakes. Then lay planks on top of these wooden piles - such plank roads, in the humid environment of the southwest region, which need to be maintained and repaired at all times. And even so, the weight of such a plank road is very limited.
Guan Yi's current method is to insert long prefabricated slabs made of cement into the bottom of these plank roads on the premise of maintaining the original plank roads as much as possible, and use them to make new load-bearing beams. The planks on the deck of the trestle are then glued together with cement. After that, a guardrail is built on the outside of the boardwalk (cliff side).
There is no doubt that this is an extremely huge project that requires a huge amount of money. It is very much in line with the traverser's left-handed in and right-handed out. Try not to leave a lot of cash in your hand.
