As an emperor, seeing that his land is decreasing, Liu Wei must be angry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But as a monarch who began to be influenced by the Huaxia Republic, he had to think about more issues.

What's in it for him to get the South Four Counties back? The mountain people have been almost migrated, in other words, the demographic advantage is gone; The four southern counties are not a developed place in the first place, and the Han people in the four counties are slightly more in the north of Changsha County and Wuling County, and the rest of the country is basically a situation where there are no people for hundreds of miles.

The economy is underdeveloped, the transportation is underdeveloped, and the population is not large, if it weren't for this, Sun Jian would not have been so easy to knock down the land of the four counties, and the Xiahou brothers would not have to retreat to Nanjun because of the follow-up weakness.

Hit it down, no problem! With the current military strength and scientific research strength of Shu Han, not to mention the gunpowder, they have begun to research it, and even cast a cannon out of copper, which is not as powerful as the mountain cannon of the Chinese Republic, but it is also much more powerful than the catapult, and it is a real artifact for conquering the city.

What about after the fight? Will the Chinese Republic get involved here? What about Liu Yan? The four counties have been hit by several successive military disasters, and there is no way to recover from them for at least five or six years, and at the same time, they also have to consider the resettlement of refugees and the recovery of local areas.

Under various factors, Liu Wei did not directly intend to launch an attack on the four southern counties. He directly issued a holy decree and appointed Sun Jian as the Taishou of Changsha County, Han Dang as the Taishou of Wuling County, Cheng Pu as the Taishou of Guiyang County, and Sun Jing as the Taishou of Lingling County, which was regarded as an acknowledgment of Sun Jian's control over these four counties.

In fact, behind this, there is another strategy of differentiation, people always have desires, at first under Sun Jian, but when Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and even Sun Jingce become equal to Sun Jian, will they always be at ease under Sun Jian? Besides, aren't they worried that it will arouse Sun Jian's suspicions?

This is the strategy that Xun Yu argued for Liu, since he could not forcibly annex it, then cut the meat with a soft knife, on the one hand, to prevent all the goods from flowing into the four southern counties, and on the other hand, to prohibit the goods from the four southern counties from flowing into Jingbei. First of all, from the economic point of view, weaken Sun Jian. Then, by dividing the generals under his command, he divided the hearts of the people under his command, so as to facilitate the division and division of his own army.

Of course, in the end, it was not to seize it by force, but to let Sun Jian surrender and directly serve Shu Han. As long as he admits the separation of military and government, and accepts the system of supervising the army and the training system of officers, then over time he will change from a prince to an ordinary soldier, then the national strength of Shu Han will be able to reach a higher level, and a war and a lot of troubles will be avoided.

"The military is the continuation of politics, so it ......" It was only at this time that Liu Wei clearly understood this sentence. This is what Li Yu has been talking about, and naturally it has also flowed out to other forces, as for how others see this statement, it is benevolent.

By this time, the matter had come to an end, the war had completely stopped, and there was no war in the land of China except for Cao Cao's efforts in the Western Regions. Everyone hopes to get a respite, and they don't want to continue fighting, and this kind of peace can last for at least two or three years.

It's just that the general trend of the world, since Dong Zhuo's death, has begun to become a little weird.

The Republic of the Han Dynasty is still the most extensive power, covering the seven states of Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Sizhou, and it also occupies the Central Plains, which can completely exist as the orthodoxy of China.

Shu Han rose in the line of fire, started from Yizhou, and has occupied the land of Guanzhong, and even took over Jingzhou.

The Huaxia Republic is obviously not a Han sequence, but it also rose rapidly and occupied the original four counties of Yangzhou and Jiangdong. Recently, in a real sense, the so-called Lujiang Autonomous Region has been annexed, and the territory has expanded to the north of the Yangtze River.

Jiujiang County and Xuzhou also have a military government, and Lü Bu is now completely disillusioned with the family and has taken a completely revolutionary line. It's just a serious lack of officials and resources that brings him closer to a ridiculous situation like a colony. Both economically and politically, it is largely dependent on the support of the Huaxia Republic.

To the south, Liu Yan's era has passed, but Liu Zhang also intends to implement his father's will and intends to be neutral for 10,000 years. Jiaozhou has no population, but fortunately, Liu Zhang is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, relying on the local family and some old courtiers, he has incorporated a lot of mountain people, and the population problem has been alleviated, and he can be regarded as a master.

The four southern counties became Sun Jian's territory, and nominally Sun Jian took refuge in Liu Yan, and now he continues to take refuge in Liu Zhang. But he also had the canonization of Shu Han, and his definition was very vague, and it became a buffer zone similar to Shu Han and Jiaozhou.

In fact, whether it is Sun Jian, Liu Zhang, or Lu Bu, they are all similar to the existence of a puppet regime, of course, the Huaxia Republic is also called a puppet regime by the Republic of Dahan, but the problem is that Shu Han has begun to establish diplomatic relations with it, in other words, it is a recognized regime.

Of course, the puppet regime will not be recognized, unless they will also reach a level where the world will recognize them, as is the case with the Chinese Republic. Otherwise, no matter how much they jump, they will only be surviving.

Originally, in history, Yuan Shu ascended the throne as emperor with the jade seal of the country, but all the vassal states in the world did not recognize his dominance, and he himself did not have the ability to defend this regime, so even if he had orthodoxy, he was just a puppet regime. The so-called state itself is built on the basis of national strength, not under the name of orthodoxy.

The matter is over here, everyone is just silently digesting the results of the war, just like Liu Bei wants to consolidate his military and political position, the Republic of Han wants to find a way to settle the refugees in Qingzhou, Shu Han wants to find a way to open the Silk Road, and the Republic of China wants to find a way to solve the financial problem......

Banks were finally set up and new currencies were issued. The new currency is divided into three types: gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, but the front is not engraved with Li Yu's head, but the iron-blooded dragon flag, and the back is engraved with the six characters of 'Chinese Republic of All Nationalities'. This makes these currencies both a trading equivalent and a propaganda tool.

Originally, the first set of currencies intended to engrave Li Yu's portrait on the front, but he himself rejected this idea and said: "The country is the country of the people, not the country of a certain person!" ”

Guan Ning sincerely admired Li Yu's morality, and went back to modify the front to the national flag, and the back was engraved with the six characters of the Chinese Republic according to Li Yu's meaning. If the currency is transmitted to other places, it can even let outsiders understand the concept of the Chinese Republic.

Of course, all this can only be implemented through the adoption of the congress. However, the benefits are so obvious that there is no objection at all, so it is natural that it will be passed smoothly. Nowadays, many people's congress deputies have become accustomed to this kind of meeting to participate in national affairs, and even for being able to participate in the promulgation of state decrees, the formulation of laws and external discussions, they are sincerely excited, this is the regime in which the people are the masters of the country, unlike other places, either the emperor has the final say, or the family has the final say, and most of them, the people's congress deputies from the bottom, have no right to speak at all in other countries.

People are like this, after getting used to the administrative model of the Chinese Republic and their own status here, it is difficult to adapt to other places. Even, in order to maintain their existing dominance, they must unite all the forces they can unite to defend the rule of the Chinese Republic. In this way, they will have more power, more benefits, and no need to worry that one day, their power will be lost.

The new currency is about to be released, which is actually the first step in the promotion of Momen, and the people are happy to learn that their country finally has its own currency. Many people are already waiting for the release of the currency.

With the issuance of currency, many people used the original gold, silver and copper to go to the bank to exchange, which made the bank short of manpower for a while, and finally completed the exchange. Through depreciation, conversion and re-minting, the bank made a lot of money, and the key is that many people changed the money and finally deposited the money in the bank, which made the principal quickly withdrawn, at least not in the case of a run.

The mint was included in the military exclusion zone, and only a few people were able to enter. And the second phase of the factory has begun to prepare for expansion to accommodate the huge exchange market. Three currencies began to circulate in the market, and one copper coin was equivalent to a penny before, small but very beautiful; A silver coin is equivalent to a hundred copper coins, and gold coins are also converted in this way, which is intuitive, and because the specifications and quality are the same, there is no depreciation problem.

At present, these three currencies are still only circulating in the Huaxia Republic, and there are still relatively few people who hold gold coins, but one day they will flow with the caravans to all parts of the world, and even abroad, to promote the Huaxia Republic.

At the same time, in the distant Xiliang, another good news came back.

Cao Cao finally opened up the entire Western Regions and began to establish diplomatic relations with Dawan, and even helped Dawan resist the invasion of Wusun and gain their friendship. Dawan also needs Dahan's goods, and has taken out a large number of sweat-and-blood BMWs, which are actually Akhal-Tejin horses for trading.

This made Cao Cao very satisfied, and sent a lot of cotton cloth and silk and other local products, and the two sides were also suitable for guests. At the same time, it was also promised that Han merchants would do business in Dawan, and even pass through Dawan to do business, and Dawan would undertake protection work.

After the trade routes were cleared, Cao Cao continued westward and opened the road to India. He didn't understand whether this was the legendary Great Qin Kingdom, but the exotic customs also fascinated him. The key is that he is not a big civil war, but to help the country expand its territory and publicize the strict authority of the lord to the outside world, which makes him sincerely satisfied.

After staying away from the domestic deceit, he was proud of his profession as a qualified general of the expedition to the west.

He also intends to continue westward, as long as the supplies are sufficient, he intends to look at the ends of the world, to see those exotic landscapes and people, to see those different countries and peoples. He wants to convey the prosperity and majesty of the Great Han to the end of the sea on the other side of the sky!

As the news that Cao Cao had opened up the Western Regions was transmitted back to Shu Han, Liu Wei also happened to announce his official accession to the throne in Chang'an, changing the Han Dynasty to the Han Empire! He is no longer the king of Shu Han, but the real orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty, the real king!

Hearing the news that Cao Cao had opened the Western Regions, he also quickly organized manpower, established more than ten caravans, and began to advance towards the Western Regions. For the time being, he doesn't see the benefits, but he knows that these caravans can bring him benefits in a steady stream! (To be continued.) )
