Under Mount Tai, by the Wenshui River, Bo City.

After a few days of rain, the sky was clear and the golden light was falling.

The Fengshen man wears a black soft-footed hood, a leather belt at the waist, a horizontal knife tied around his waist, and black leather boots under his feet, tall and handsome. He looked at the mountain in front of him and smiled slightly.

The young man in brocade next to him was wearing a python robe and jade belt, and he didn't know what his brother was laughing at.

"The folk say that the fifth brother, you are far away from the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and now you are on Mount Tai to seal the Zen, which is well deserved."

The emperor who traveled all the way east from Luoyang to Mount Tai only shook his head slightly, he restrained his smile, and the Great Qin Emperor Luo Cheng, who had just passed his thirtieth birthday, did not swell.

He knew that he had reigned for less than ten years, so he was far from being far superior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

"Xiaoliu, I just think that this time I came out for a walk, and I saw a lot of folk scenes that I couldn't see in Beijing in the past, and I was very happy to see that everyone was living a good life."

Luo Shixin, the king of Bohai in Xiaoliu, said with a smile, "The fifth brother should be, you are the Emperor of the Great Qin Kaiyuan Shenwu Shengwentian, although you have just passed the year of establishment, but you started a business from scratch, not only ended the chaos of the Central Plains, but also conquered the east and the west, broke the Turks in the north and destroyed Goguryeo Baekje in the east, and destroyed the Tuyuhun Dangxiang and Gaochang, Yanqi, and the Western Turks in the west. ”

Kaiyuan Shenwu Shengwentian Emperor, this emperor's honorific title has added two more words than a few years ago, and it is getting longer and longer. Hundreds of officials asked to play, thinking that the emperor pacified the four seas, and Weijiayu should be honored again. The emperor did not agree, but the following still lengthened the emperor's honorific title.

At the age of just thirty, he is not the crown prince and crown prince, he started at the end of the year, but he can calm the riots, calm the world, and conquer the surrounding countries in such a short period of time, and can make the people of the Central Plains live too well, which is the sincere praise of the emperor by everyone today.

Emperor Qin ruled the world, but the world suffered Qin. Han Wu defeated the Xiongnu, but the population was halved, and the people were poor.

The Sui unified the Central Plains, but it could fight against the Turks, Goguryeo, etc., but it was also repeatedly used but could not conquer, and the people were struggling to serve.

"Little Liu, what's the situation in Haidong now?"

The emperor pressed the hilt of the knife in his hand, looking at the distant mountains, the early winter sky, after the sunshine, it was not so cold.

Luo Shixin, the king of Bohai, is only twenty-six years old this year, he is tall and mighty, and he can no longer see the short and thin appearance of the year. In recent years, after Luo Shixin received the title of Haidong, he began to personally lead the adventurous merchant fleet, began to sail in Haidong, established many trading points along the coast of Haidong, and also established friendly relations with many local natives.

Even along the Heishui River (Heilongjiang), Wuzi River (Ussuri River), Songhua River (Nanhe River), Sumoshui (Xiliu Songhua River), Beiqinhai (Xingkai Lake) and other rivers penetrated deep into the interior, and many trade points were established.

It can be said that although Luo Shixin's fief is from Xingkai Lake to Vladivostok, the source of the Ussuri River, Luo Shixin's influence in Haidong is the greatest.

He had the most powerful and brave Vladivostok fleet, and he also had the brave warriors of the Tatar tribes under his command. Among the emperor's brothers, Luo Cheng was particularly fond of this youngest brother. Cun Xiao and heirs are either in Anxi Yili or in Lijiang, Yunnan, they are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an edict, but Luo Shixin has a special purpose, he can lead his fleet and warriors to sail freely on the North Sea, and even sail to the Eastern Wilderness Continent (Alaska) and the Beimang Continent (Siberia) several times.

Shixin was the pioneer of the imperial court in the Northern Wilderness, and although the imperial court has also set up a new North Sea Fleet, which is responsible for shipping routes along the coast north of the Korean Peninsula, in the north, it is still dominated by the power of Shixin.

There are even some rumors now that Luo Shixin, the king of the Bohai Sea, is actually the king of the north north of the White Mountain, the king of frost. The tribes of the White Mountains and Black Waters, as well as the barbarian states further north, only knew Luo Shixin, the king of Bohai, but did not know the Great Qin Emperor of the Central Plains.

However, although the emperor knew about these rumors, he still did not change his trust in his brother.

"Fifth brother, in recent years, outside the Northeast Guan, nine counties have been set up in Liaoxi, Liaodong and Liaobei, Sumo, Baishan, Ning'an, Suihua, Dongning, and Fuyuan, and the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Liaobei are the main counties of the imperial court, and they are under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Road. The remaining six counties have also been established in recent years, and the number of immigrants from the Han Dynasty is not large, mainly based on bondage, and also to build the country with feudal princes. ”

For the vast area north of Andong in Liaoning, although the imperial court is actively exploring, but after all, it is too far away, and now the imperial court is mainly to stabilize Liaoning and Andong, and immigrants are also sent to these two places as much as possible. Farther north, it is still dominated by feudal princes, then by the local chieftains and nobles who were conferred titles, and then by merchant trading points and some criminal exile points.

Along the great rivers or coastal areas, many castles and trade bazaars of the princes' fiefs have been established one after another, and the number of these castles and trade points is not large, but they are slowly taking shape.

There are also more and more Han people in the past, merchants who buy goods, merchants who go to sell merchants, fur hunters who go hunting, medicine pickers who collect ginseng medicinal herbs, etc., and of course, there are also slave traders.

Luo Shixin has made a lot of money in the trade of fur and medicinal materials in recent years, so although he is sealed in the wild north, with the advantage of the territory by the sea and the lake, he still quickly established three castles, including Vladivostok City by the sea, Shuangcheng Zicheng by the Suifen River, and Beiqin City by the Beiqin Sea.

Among them, Vladivostok is an ice-free port, so that many ships that trade to the north are there to supply and spend the winter, so the development is very fast, and now there are thousands of people in the city all year round, and Shixin also recruited thousands of people from the Ya tribes to the nearby city.

Shuangchengzi and Beiqin City also have a population of more than 1,000 each, which can be said to be the largest strongholds of Great Qin in the north.

Because of the rapid development of Vladivostok, the imperial court established Dongning County here, and also made it the seat of Dongning County, and after the establishment of the North Sea Fleet, Vladivostok Port was also used as the home port.

The imperial court has begun to increase investment in Vladivostok, and Luo Cheng has planned to send an additional regiment of 2,000 soldiers to Vladivostok to defend this military port and guard the base camp of development.

The Royal Ministry of the Interior also plans to build a new shipyard and a shipyard here, and as soon as these are in place, only 2,000 new soldiers, plus their families, will increase by more than 10,000 people, and after the establishment of the shipyard and the shipyard, there will inevitably be a logging yard and other supporting sailing ships, cable ships, anchor factories, etc., and the workers plus their families, there is no doubt that Vladivostok will immediately take another big leap.

Luo Cheng's strategy for the development of the Northeast is obvious, that is, first by sea, then along the coast, and then along the great rivers, with strongholds connected into chains, and finally complete the control of the entire Northeast region. For the natives here, first they were canonized, then traded, and finally when the number of Han immigrants increased and the number of fortresses increased, the army could gradually increase and station, and finally the entire region could be annexed and the land was restored.

Now Vladivostok's ability to support 2,000 soldiers is indeed barely enough, but with the support of the sea, it can still be maintained. As long as you hold on now, then the situation can be opened.
