The afternoon sun is so warm, but Jia Xu's heart has never calmed down, although he is Liu Hong's cronies, but since Song Ling'er died, Jia Xu has become more and more unable to understand Liu Hong's thoughts.

In the past few years, Jia Xu knew what Liu Hong was planning, but he couldn't judge it at all, so Jia Xu was very helpless.

If Liu Hong knew this, he would definitely tell Jia Xu that it was not that Jia Xu's intelligence was not as good as Liu Hong's, but that his vision was different, Liu Hong could really be said to have become a loner after Song Ling'er's death, and in the middle of the night, Liu Hong was even more lonely.

For this reason, Liu Hong used all his experience in political struggles, Liu Hong wanted to be like the rest of the traversers, quickly stabilize the state power, and as soon as the king's hegemony came out, he immediately made all the families good.

However, the fact that Liu Hong encountered was that the family obstructed himself openly and secretly, all of which showed that the dynasty was the emperor and the scholars competing for power, but he didn't know that before the Yuan Dynasty, the hundred officials did not kneel to the emperor, and there was a period of sitting and discussing politics.

Although Liu Hong tried his best to make the family dare not obstruct his own policies openly, but the Han world, ten officials and eight families, this is unchangeable.

Liu Hong wants to tour the world this time, which is to give the family the heaviest blow, so that the family can no longer compete with the emperor for power.

Liu Hong put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said, "Wenhe, the great dragon of me has been completed, I don't know if Wenhe can be cracked?" ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his mind returned to the chessboard, thinking back to Liu Hong's words, Jia Xu always felt that what Liu Hong said was not just on the chessboard. So Jia Xu asked tentatively, "The big dragon has become a dragon." The minister has no power to return to heaven. However, the chess game is not scored! ”

Liu Hong pushed the chessboard with a smile, stood up and said meaningfully, "You don't have to tell the winner, you just need to suppress your arrogance." ”

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Your Majesty, although Your Majesty has implemented education and opened up the imperial examination, eighty percent of the people who study in the world are still from a family. At this time, His Majesty promoted newspapers so that everyone in the world could publish articles, isn't this a great benefit to the family? ”

Liu Hong smiled, smiled very happily, people who have not been in the future will not understand how great the power of public opinion is, when all public opinion is one-sided, and for a long time, even the state power has to compromise.

Maybe Jia Xu is right. This seems to give the family a chance, but it is not. After all, Liu Hong has the final say on what is published in the newspaper.

"Wenhe! I hold a sword in my hand, but let the unarmed Wen He take the sword to attack, am I really mediocre? ”

As soon as Jia Xu heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Hong meant, and immediately felt ashamed of his lack of wisdom.

Liu Hong's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply, "Hmph, the Western Regions are too happy, I am fortunate to visit the world this time, just to let the Han not drag the Western Expedition back, I will not only take the Western Regions this time, but also fight to the extreme west, I want to see, is it the great army of a hundred battles in the extreme west, or my Jin Ge Iron Horse is invincible." ”

Jia Xu opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, if you are fighting in the extreme west, the supply of grain and grass, and the number of troops will be too great. ”

"Don't worry about these Wenhe, I have my own considerations!"

Then it was really as Liu Hong expected, no matter how much the family wanted to influence public opinion in the newspaper, it could not compare to Liu Hong's great achievements in conquering the north and south, for the people, Liu Hong is the absolute saint, and now the saint wants to come to see his life, how can he not want to.

So Liu Hong's plan to go on patrol was thus decided, during which Liu Hong ordered that the money spent on the trip should be borne by the royal family, and the palace should not be built in various places, which deepened the burden on the people, which made the people even more happy.

Half a month later, Liu Hong came to Qingzhou under the escort of the army, Liu Hong in addition to the royal expedition, this is the first time to patrol the world, and this Qingzhou has become the first stop, naturally Qingzhou officials are happy, Cao Cao has become Liu Hong's entourage.

After Liu Hong came to Qingzhou, the first place he went to was the military port in Qingzhou, which was also Cao Cao's greatest achievement.

Dozens of warships, large and small, of different types are moored on the docks. Cao Cao pointed to one of the largest warships and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is a 500-material fortune ship that has just left the factory in Qingzhou Shipyard, and only one has been completed so far, and it is also the largest fortune ship that has been built so far!" The hull of the No. 1 Fu is 35 meters long, the draft is about 4 meters, and the displacement is 250 tons. ”

"The fortune ship is as tall as a building, can accommodate a hundred people, its bottom point, its upper width, its head is raised and the mouth is open, its tail is towering, set up the tower three times on the top, its side are guarded plates, Yang to thatched bamboo, stand like a wall, its sail mast two, the middle is four floors, the lowest layer is uninhabitable, but the solid earth and stone to prevent the trouble of light drifting, the second layer is the soldier's resting place, the floor is hidden, must be stepped down from the top of the ladder, the third layer of the left and right sides of the six doors, the middle water tank, is the place where the sail cooks also, the front and rear of each set up a wooden block, tied to a brown cable, the lower block is this floor, the top layer is like a terrace, must go up from the third layer of cave ladders, the wings on both sides are like railings, people lean on it to attack the enemy, the arrows and stone artillery are overlooking and fire, the enemy boat is small and the plow sinks when they meet, and the enemy is difficult to attack on the back, and the sharp weapon of the sea battle is also. However, it can be carried in the wind and tide, and it is inconvenient to maneuver, and it is not possible to force the shore to berth, so it is necessary to take the ferry by a fake sentinel boat! ”

When Cao Cao introduced, he looked very proud, because this kind of big ship is more powerful than the building ship, and this is under his leadership, built, according to the current situation, the name of this shipbuilder must be him Cao Cao, that is to say, as long as the lucky ship is still in one day, his Cao Cao's name will be remembered for a day.

However, Liu Hong did not have the slightest sense of happiness, because this kind of ship is invincible in the near sea, but not in the far sea, but Liu Hong is not discouraged, after all, the current technology is too backward.

Liu Hong just wanted to take down the Ryukyus this time, there are a lot of good things on the Ryukyus, looking at the warship in front of him, Liu Hong secretly thought, this kind of wear to the Ryukyus should be no problem!

Immediately, Liu Hong looked at the mighty warship and asked, "How is the sailor training and naval construction?" ”

"Your Majesty, you should be fully trained, and last year even conducted a sea trial, according to Your Majesty's instructions, escort the merchant to the Hanzhou area, where to replenish, then make a detour to return home, in order to see the adaptability of the warship on the sea.

There the fleet discovered an island nation, and the people of that country called themselves Tamna! Your Majesty, you say it's ridiculous, there are still people on this island of only a few thousand people who claim to be the king and hegemon! Sure enough, it's the arrogance of the barbarian! Saying that, Cao Cao and the others couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the name of Tamna, Liu Hong's heart moved, he always felt that this name had been heard in later generations, and then thought carefully before he thought that it was estimated that this island would be Jeju Island in later generations!

The earliest records of the Tamna Kingdom were found in Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of Wei? The Biography of Dongyi", but Chen Shou recorded it as 'Zhou Hu State'. Chen Shou in "Three Kingdoms? Wei Zhi? The "Legend of Dongyi" makes the following record of 'Zhou Hu': "Zhou Hu is on the big island in the west sea of Ma and Han, and its inhabitants are short and small, with a beard (shaved hair), like the Xianbei tribe, like to raise cattle and pigs, and their clothes are up and down, similar to [***], and they travel to and from China and Korea by boat for trade." ”

Jeju Island hangs in the East China Sea on the southwestern side of the Korean Peninsula. It is adjacent to Nagasaki County across the sea in the east, 261 nautical miles away from Shanghai in the west, and 333.7 nautical miles away from Qingdao in the northwest.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong couldn't help but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, originally this time he came to check the navy, and then take down the Ryukyus as a base to open up the sea, but he didn't expect that now a Jeju Island actually appeared, does this mean that God let himself defeat the Japanese country?

Then Liu Hong asked, "Have you ever encountered danger when you go to sea this time?" ”

Cao Cao hesitated slightly, then said truthfully, "Your Majesty, after passing through the country of Tamluo, I encountered a storm, but fortunately, the fleet found it in time, dodged in time, and did not suffer losses, and then the fleet returned." ”

Liu Hong nodded, and said with great satisfaction, "Yes, the temporary retreat is not cowardice, but the navy of my Han is still too weak to withstand any losses!" Especially in non-combat attrition, our Han has no losses. ”

Suddenly, Liu Hong remembered an important thing and asked, "Have you ever recorded the hydrology along the way?" ”

It is important to know that in ancient times, whether it was an ocean-going expedition or a navy conducting long-distance operations, the completeness of hydrological and geographical data was an indispensable condition.

"Please rest assured that the hydrographies of all the places where the fleet went have been recorded in detail, and many copies have been transcribed so as not to be lost."

After a while, Cao Cao said with some hesitation, "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear!" ”

"What?"

"Why did my big man build the navy so hard? The amount of money spent on these warships is really a huge amount of money! Cao Cao said with some puzzlement.

Liu Hong looked at Cao Cao with a puzzled face, and a group of officials, and sighed deeply, Liu Hong knew that they were only building warships because of their own orders, but what could Liu Hong do now? Tell them that there is no limit to wealth on the sea?

If Liu Hong didn't know this kind of thing in the later life, he wouldn't believe it himself, so Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "You will know later, at this time, you just need to do what I tell you." ”

"No!"

In the next few days, Liu Honghong watched the navy's acting, and even visited the shipyard, which made outsiders understand how much Liu Hong attached importance to the navy.

After that, Liu Hong went deep into the people and talked cordially with the people, just to create an image close to the people, of course, among those people, nine out of ten are Jinyiwei, and the last one of the people's nine family members are under the control of Jinyiwei.

Therefore, Liu Hong's proximity to the people this time is just a show.

However, after the newspaper published Liu Hong's measures in Qingzhou, it caused an uproar. (To be continued......)
