Chapter 543: Eastern Expedition to Fusang
Han Yan was in pain.
After landing, progress was rapid. But the Fuso counterattack was also very fast.
The attacks of these Fusang people who were not afraid of death at the cost of their lives made the Han army very tired.
When this kind of report reached the court of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che also had a headache.
After all, the people there are not familiar with the place, and when they encounter such a thing, they can only encroach and attack little by little.
In the court, the result of the ministers' discussions was inconclusive.
Some people even think that there is no point in attacking such a small place across the sea.
Nowadays, in the Han Dynasty, road construction, economic reform, compulsory education, everything is used for money.
Expanding outward, with the army, this cost is already very large.
It is not surprising that some people have raised objections.
Liu Che was a very ambitious emperor.
At first, he thought that the Han Dynasty was the center of heaven and earth, surrounded by small dependent countries.
But Yanming told him that after the earth was round, Liu Che's mind came alive.
He wanted to see how big the earth really was, how powerful those who lived with their heads down.
As a king, the greatest goal is expansion, infinite expansion.
Territory, territorial waters, airspace, these are the scope of expansion.
Now, the navy of the Han Dynasty has taken its first step, and it has encountered the obstruction of Fuso.
Liu Che wanted the ministers to give a reasonable attack plan.
But apparently, these ministers were not ready for this.
The reasons for not wanting war are varied.
But none of this is what Liu Che wants. So he was very dissatisfied.
Actually, the ministers are right, it doesn't have to be expansion. War is a game of the dead, and the end result is a lose-lose situation.
For the group of people in Fusang, Yan Ming also thinks that it can be fought for now.
Because their culture hasn't taken shape yet. Most of their languages are still the language of the Han Dynasty.
It is not an exaggeration to say that such people are descendants of the Han people.
Of course, the indigenous people of the island need to be assimilated.
War is never the best solution to problems.
The most powerful is the cultural invasion.
Once a nation or country develops a sense of identity with your culture and actively learns about it, it will quickly assimilate.
However, if you want to assimilate culture, the first means must be war.
When it comes to war, there are not many people Liu Che trusts.
Wei Qing was in Dingbei City at this time, constantly clearing the remnants of the Xiongnu and stabilizing the great north of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Quzhi has courage and strength, but he is still young. Crossing the ocean is unreliable.
Liu Che thought about it, but still hit Yan Ming's body with the idea.
Only Yan Ming, now in New Taipei City, is the most leisurely.
The matter of building roads and bridges is done by Hu Deyong and Dou Wen.
"Send an edict to Yan Ming, let him set off from New Taipei City, replace Han Yan as the commander, and attack Fusang." Liu Che said.
When such an edict arrived in New Taipei City, Yan Ming smiled bitterly and had no choice but to obey the order.
Mo Zheng and Da Lao Chen put down the matter of studying the van for a while. The details of the construction of the train have been worked on.
After all, the construction of a railroad has already begun there, and the train should also start to be studied.
Yan Ming didn't hide his secrets, and sorted out all the machine tool principles he came into contact with into drawings and gave them to Mo Zheng and Da Lao Chen.
As long as the machine tool comes out, the matter of machining is simple.
But only if there is electricity.
Sometimes, Yan Ming really feels anxious for a while.
In this era, the development of anything will be restricted.
Relying on tender water, the resources for hydropower generation are already available.
What is missing is a fine machining machine tool to make parts.
The question of chickens laying eggs or eggs and chickens, there is no question of the people of New Taipei City.
With amazing perseverance, Da Lao Chen led those craftsmen to start making various parts by hand.
This reminded Yan Ming of the Ferrari sports cars of later generations, many of which were handmade by designers and engineers.
The affairs of New Taipei City, Yan Ming is destined to be unable to take care of it.
Because Liu Che's edict has arrived.
This time, Liu Che asked Yan Ming to bring all the boats left behind. Including the transport ship, it is temporarily under the command of Yan Ming.
Yan Ming also heard about Han Yan's side.
Now in addition to the song, there is also a handwritten letter from the emperor to Yan Ming.
It explains Han Yan's situation in more detail.
Yan Ming knows that Fusang is not an easy place to fight.
It is not for nothing that this small country has become the largest economy in Asia and the world's largest technological power in later generations.
Although Huaxia eventually surpassed this island nation.
However, in the history of 5,000 years, the figure of this island nation is like a tarsal Gu, appearing in the history of China in various guises.
"It's time." Yan Ming sighed.
Now, he doesn't know much about the situation in Fusang, everything is from Han Yan's words.
However, compared to Han Yan's statement, Yan Ming already had a rough plan in his heart.
If you want to take down this country, it can't be as easy as fighting Wei's North Korea.
Wei's Korea, which was built by the Qin people in the past, has not been connected to the mainland for too many years, and is not very independent.
And Fusang Kingdom, although there is a legend of Xu Fu and the shadow of mainlanders, there are more indigenous people after all.
Even their language has begun to change, and it is about to produce a civilization of its own.
The most important thing is that their geographical location is far from the mainland, which makes them have an independent presence in their bones.
For these, Yan Ming has long considered it.
If you want to really take Fuso, it will take a long time and cultural erosion.
Yan Ming replied to Liu Che with a note.
He asked Liu Che to prepare some manpower for him in Penglai Port.
The best are farmers, people who are good at farming.
And then there are the literati. In the land of Qilu, there is no shortage of literati.
Liu Che was stunned.
Ordinary generals fight wars and want mighty armies. But Yanming wanted something completely different this time.
He actually wanted a farmer, a literati, and a doctor.
Seeing such a request, Liu Che couldn't figure it out.
However, he has an advantage, that is, he does not doubt the use of people.
Yan Ming said that he needed these people, and he immediately agreed without hesitation.
Although many ministers in the DPRK and China think that Yan Ming's approach is similar to nonsense. But no one dared to say anything more.
After all, Yan Ming's past was too glorious.
Even now, in Chang'an City, there are still people who call Yan Ming Yan Immortal.
This is a real worship.
Yan Ming set sail from New Taipei City, and Yan Poyu and Yan Yunzhong saw them off on the shore.
Both children are now sensible.
"Study hard, when I'm not at home, you're a man." Yan Ming said.
The two children nodded.
Liu Ling has been in poor health recently, and he is always nauseous, thinking that he is happy.
At this time, she looked at Yan Ming, and what she hoped most was that Yan Ming would be by her side.
Yan Ming held her face and smiled, "Wait for me to come back." ”
Liu Ling blushed rarely.
