Chapter 17: Armageddon Prologue

In 202 AD, more than a year has passed since Liu Xing defected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The United Han Empire was completely stabilized, and its control over the extraterritorial states was further strengthened. I have to say that Liu Xing learned a lot of things from Li Yu, and after these things were digested and absorbed by him, they were quickly put into use.

Today, the United Empire of the Han Dynasty has become an extraterritorial arbiter, and it is up to the empire to decide whether the two countries should wage war between them, and even to what extent the war will be fought. At the same time, the cultural invasion has also been further strengthened, and more and more people have begun to learn Chinese, and even the customs of the Han people, and before they know it, Chinese has become the mainstream language of the world.

The Roman Empire expressed regret for Cao Cao's death, and at the same time sent a large number of amends. However, according to the latest information from the Empire, the Roman Empire is still planning to expand further to the east.

More and more people in the country have put forward opinions that the Han Dynasty has taken away too much of their wealth, and since they are so rich there, why not turn it into Roman territory? The rest of the empire in the east is no longer a concern, but it is just surviving under the protection of the Han Dynasty, if it continues to the east, except for the Han Empire, the Roman Empire will no longer have enemies!

Through the exchanges with the Han Dynasty, Rome also learned a lot of things, and also sent a lot of caravans to the Han Dynasty to trade. When the caravan returned, it described the Han as a country of gold, full of gold, and even the walls were paved with silver.

In fact, as ceramics began to appear, tiles were naturally produced. People with good living conditions bought a lot of tiles and laid them on the walls. Over time, many buildings in China have lost a little bit of antiquity and a little more modern sense of art.

Regarding this change in Huaxia, Li Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Huaxia is originally a country that evolves in absorption and integration, and the Chinese people are also a nation that is constantly evolving.

Sometimes Li Yu feels that the so-called pure-blood theory in later generations is actually an idea only owned by some guys who drill the horns of the bull. The Chinese civilization is not afraid of integration at all, or even takes the initiative to integrate, which is the fundamental reason why it has been able to persist for 5,000 years without decline, and those so-called ancient civilizations that maintain pure blood have basically perished.

Of course, this integration is not a passive fusion, Li Yu still has a bit of national feelings, in his opinion, the integration of the Chinese nation should be our men actively integrate women of other races, rather than waiting for others to kill all the Chinese men, and then complete the integration through the women of China...... This is somewhat machismo, but Li Yu thinks so!

The prosperity of China, as well as the mountains of gold and silver described by those merchants, also further stimulated the nobles and emperors of the Roman Empire, human nature has a greedy side, let alone face such a big temptation. Confuse.

Roman emperors were also mortals, not to mention that the emperors of this generation were still active in foreign expansion. Therefore, after weighing it, they finally decided to declare war on Huaxia!

Not only that, but they also co-opted the Magadha kingdom in India and attacked the Han on both sides. As a result, in less than five months, they were defeated by Cao Ren and Cao Hong respectively, and tens of thousands of troops were reduced to prisoners, and finally sold by the Slave Games Han United Empire.

The Roman Emperor fell in battle, and his son Caracalla ascended the throne; The lord of Magadha also announced his absence, and the prince ascended the throne, and offered the savings of the royal family over the years to appease the anger of the Han Dynasty.

A large amount of money was transported back to the United Han Empire, and of course, it was also gathered into Li Yu's hands through the intelligence system. After learning about this, not only Li Yu, but even many officials were a little eyed by the gains of the United Empire. They had almost nothing to lose, and they got the equivalent of a year's financial revenue of the Huaxia Republic!

At this moment, the population of the Chinese Republic has reached 150 million, not counting those minors and the elderly over 50 years old, there are also 80 million laborers, and the wealth created is naturally even more considerable. Rao is like this, the income from a war on the other side is worth their efforts for a year, which of course makes people blush.

Not to mention that the United Han Empire also occupied the Northern Silk Road, and also had a high prestige in foreign countries, which made them very unhappy. You must know that the Republic of China, doesn't this also occupy the Southern Silk Road?

After nearly two years of investment, many roads have been built, and even the railway is working overtime to lay a railway from Buwei to Yunnan, from Yunnan to Guchang, and finally from Guchang to Wanwen County, the state has invested 300,000 construction workers, and seventy percent of the country's steel output has been here.

In the nearly two years of construction, about seventy percent of the construction progress has been completed, the railway from Wanwen to Guchang has been opened, a large number of materials can be transferred through Panyu, and further transported to the front line to pave the road after being transported here, if not, the progress can not be completed so quickly.

Large-scale construction, as well as subsequent immigration, also led to the development of the South Central region. Many villages have become small towns, and small towns have become county seats. Within a year, Guchang had changed from a county to a city, and its development speed had surpassed the so-called Shenzhen speed.

In the final analysis, the development of Nanzhong still maintains the basic state of development and construction, and there are no high-rise buildings to be built. The tallest building is only three or four floors. It is precisely because of the reduction in the difficulty of construction that the construction speed here has been greatly improved.

The people who migrated here have reclaimed a large amount of farmland, and at the same time, according to the needs of the front line, a large number of cement factories and steel mills have been established, and the ore or iron ingots transported from Panyu have been refined here for the first time, and the cement, sand and gypsum collected, as well as steel bars and even steel rails, have also been put into construction at the first time.

As a result, the cost of transporting materials from other places was greatly reduced, and the construction of the southern and central regions was accelerated, including the border positions and camps on the Yangtze River. Li Wenbu and Chen Tao's troops have been prepared and will go north here at any time to attack other areas of Yizhou.

At the same time, the Huang Zhong Department in Jiangxia County, the Guan Yu Department in Luoyang, the Xu Shu Department in Yanzhou, the Zumao Department in Qingzhou, the Zhao Yun Department in Changsha County, and the Li Dao Department in Nanyang, the Eight Army Corps have been prepared, and they only need the National People's Congress to officially announce the war against the Han United Empire, then they will drive straight into the country as soon as possible!

At the same time, new changes also took place within the United Han Empire. Liu Xie announced his abdication, saying that the Han Dynasty only needed one emperor, and Liu Xingnai was a relative of the Han family and the queen of Hejian. Resourceful and amazing, the key is to be calm and decisive, and to be a superior candidate.

After three attempts to concede, Liu Xing finally ascended the throne and became the sole emperor of the United Han Empire. After that, it was officially announced that the United Empire of Han was renamed the Great Han Empire.

In the past, the courtiers of the Han Republic had some opinions, but it could not be denied that the United Empire did not sound good, the key was that Liu Xie took the initiative to retreat, they had worked hard but had no skills, and in the end they could only admit this result.

Fortunately, Liu Xing did not change the original policy, and the people still have a high level of popularity. The lord power, the courtiers can also enjoy the original power. It's just that now that the emperor controls the military power and the internal affairs system, the life of these courtiers is not so easy.

With the support of the war reparations between the Roman Empire and Magadha, Liu Xing also carried out the preparation of the army for the first time. Equipped with a large number of artillery, a large number of pills and medicinal baths were also provided.

In the space of three months, the vast majority of the soldiers and soldiers have improved their cultivation to a small realm. Don't look at the lack of progress, you must know that most of the soldiers are already in the middle stage of external strength, and it is not easy to be promoted to the late stage. Not to mention that there are many existences that are still in the dark energy period, and it is even more difficult to improve a small realm.

New alloy steels were developed and fully redressed, and horses were cultivated with Pei Yuan Dan and special medicinal herbs. It can't be said to be the same as the kind of spirit horse that Li Yu exchanged, but it has also been very improved. And the pony born by this kind of horse is really a spirit horse, and after long-term training, it can gradually catch up.

This time, Liu Xingke is really a big gamble, all of a country's annual financial revenue is used for military arming. Although it has also driven a lot of economy, and even promoted the progress of many civilian industries, unless it is a country with certain doctrines in later generations, no one will really invest such a large amount of money in the military.

The news spread back to the Huaxia Republic, and suddenly there was a signal: Liu Xing was afraid that he would not be willing to settle for the existing territory.

This is not surprising, although Liu Xing's accession to the throne truly merged the former Han Empire and the Han Republic into one, but in general there was no change in the territory. It is obviously not advisable to move towards the western regions or towards the north, and the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and the farther west you go, the drier it becomes, and there are hardly any people living in these places except for a few areas.

As a qualified emperor, if you can't expand your territory, it is equivalent to a failed emperor, let alone a high-spirited founding emperor. Liu Xing obviously will not be satisfied with the territory of the Han Empire at this stage, and it is possible to recapture the Southern Silk Road in the south, or even launch a full-scale war, in the true sense of the word.

According to this news, Li Yu also convened a meeting of the people's congress as soon as possible, and announced at the meeting that the country had entered a state of readiness. Although the Huaxia Republic has no war plans for the time being, once the other party dares to test or even officially launch an attack, then of course the country will not admit it!

Naturally, the military has been waiting for this order for a long time, and it is naturally supportive of this. Officials such as Yuan Jian and Xun Yan couldn't help but be a little worried, considering the financial problems.

"I can understand your concerns, but please feel a little confident in me! Since the Führer has the confidence to conduct an all-out war, then naturally I have an arrangement!

In the past 12 years, more than eighty percent of the people in China have undergone enlightenment, and some have even studied on their own. However, most of the night schools, at least more than 60% of them, have us behind them!

In other words, in these 12 years, we have trained a large number of students, and we have also subconsciously made them understand the concept of surplus value and the nature of capitalists.

The Han Empire was essentially a capitalist state, and although there were trade unions, it mainly served the capitalists, making all workers resign themselves to their fate. Up to now, the Han Empire has even had very few people who farmed alone, and adopted a large farm system, and farming was also operated as a company!

In other words, at present, more than five to sixty percent of the people in the Han Empire are workers! Do you know what that means? The basis of a revolution, a proletarian revolution, has been prepared by us! Li Yu solemnly announced. (To be continued.) )
