Chapter 591: Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life

The Jinshui River in the morning light is like a shining jade belt, so this river is also called the Jade Belt River. The water of this river is very clear, it comes from Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs, passes through Miyagi, exits the capital, and finally flows into the Tonghui River.

Liu Jun sat by the river, looking at this clear river water comparable to pure water, and couldn't help but sigh, it was almost impossible to find such a clear inland river water in the city in the future.

He even saw a water snake twisting quickly across the river, causing ripples behind him. Overhead, eagles streak across the sky.

Beneath the surface, there is even a school of fish swimming by.

It's like you're in a mountain stream rather than in the heart of a megalopolitan city of a million.

However, this is the Neijin River, which flows through the Wumen Gate. There is also a Jinshui River in Jingshi, called the Waijinshui River, which flows outside the Chengtian Gate. The outer Jinshui River is not as clean as the inner Jinshui River.

The Jinshui River is not only equivalent to the moat of the imperial city of Miyagi, but also the water for firefighting. The Jinshui River is the source of drinking water for the palace, so the protection of the river water is very strict, and the water of the Jinshui River is not allowed to be used by the people, and even washing hands is a crime.

There is also a wider tube river on the outskirts of Miyagi, with a water surface of 18 zhang wide and a half zhang deep. Just as the Jinshui River has inner and outer rivers, the Guanzi River also has internal and external, the outer part of the palace is the Inner Tube River, and there is also an outer Tube River outside the Imperial City. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the Outer Tube River only had three sides, northeast and west, and there was no South River.

This is just the opposite of the fact that there is only the southern city in the outer city of Jingshi, and there are no three outer cities in the east, west and north. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the outer tube river was newly built around the south of the imperial city.

It has formed the pattern that there are the outer tube river and the outer Jinshui river outside the imperial city, and the inner tube river and the inner Jinshui river outside the palace city.

Deep ditch and high base, impregnable.

After the Han dug the south of the outer tube river, it also fully dredging and dredging the tube river, and now the tube river is also surrounded by clear water.

It was cold, and the Jinshui River was frozen. Liu Jun likes to come to the ice these days when he has nothing to do, and even played a few games of ice hockey.

"The impeachment of the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate made the Marquis of Wuchang very angry, and I heard that he also dropped the teacup." Feng Sheng followed the emperor and skated slowly, reporting his work.

Liu Jian is busy with city management these days, and it is advertising space rental. It is also the naming rights of roads and bridges, it is the revitalization of land, and now it has launched a sponsorship plan for the imperial examination.

Shuntianfu got millions of entries all of a sudden, and he was full of energy. However, many officials couldn't sit still, and impeached Liu Jian one after another for competing with the people for profit, and so on.

Liu Jun has read all those bullets, and to put it mildly, it is to compete with the people for profit, what is the loss of the majesty of the court, etc., this kind of clichéd words Liu Jun didn't bother to reply after taking a look, and just threw it aside. All of them are left in the middle and not sent.

However, Liu Jian was young after all, and he was thinking about the court wholeheartedly, and the funds he got did not receive into his pocket, and a lot of them went into the public account, but those officials also impeached him, and he was so angry that he dropped several cups in a row.

"Marquis Wuchang is still too young, and he can't hold his breath when he is said a few words. Since you have to do things, where can you be afraid of people talking. If you are afraid of what people say, then how can you do a good thing? Liu Jun said a few words to his brother. He added, "In fact, I instructed Liu Jian to try the sponsor plan, and the court did not steal or rob, neither forced nor forced, and the businessmen were willing to bid, which shows that this is good for the businessmen." ”

"And the court cooperated with the merchants. Where has the majesty been lost? This is obviously a win-win situation, the court and the businessmen cooperate, the businessmen get the brand promotion, the court gets the actual money benefits, even those lifters. You can also get free food and board, so why not? ”

Although it is said that in the new Han Dynasty, the concept of the upper and lower has changed a lot. But there are still many people who hold an old concept and compete with the people for profit at every turn.

In the past, the royal store business under Liu Jun's name made them shout to compete with the people for profit.

However, Liu Jun also knew that the imperial court sometimes needed these flies, and he couldn't drive them all away because some places were unsatisfactory.

Although it was a temporary plan, the bidding was quickly held, and in the end a total of nine sponsors and 136 suppliers were bidd. The sponsorship fee of the nine sponsors totaled 1.8 million, each of which was 200,000 silver dollars.

What surprised Liu Jun was the suppliers, and in the end, a total of 136 suppliers were divided, and the sponsorship fee of each company reached an average of more than 10,000 silver dollars.

Although it was a hasty plan, it received nearly four million in sponsorship in just a few days.

If it is not too hasty, if sponsors can be recruited across the country, it is estimated that the sponsorship cost can be doubled.

"Suncheonfu is even planning to hold a martial arts tournament."

Liu Jun smiled, Shuntianfu had just received millions of inputs, so it was naturally full of momentum. With today's imperial court system, Shuntianfu's performance this time is so outstanding, not only can the upper and lower assessments be praised, but also there will be actual material rewards, how can everyone be unmotivated.

"They want to use the martial arts competition to replace the martial arts sponsorship fee that the imperial court lost due to the cancellation of martial arts." Liu Jun shook his head and chuckled, although Liu Jun still insisted on the imperial examination and expanded the scale of admission to the imperial examination, but he had a completely different attitude towards arming.

Even if Liu Jun was also a martial arts student at the beginning, he thought that the Han Dynasty was a standing army plus a professional soldier, and he trained professional military talents with a special military academy, so there was no need to select military attachés through the martial arts examination.

The martial arts have been officially abolished, and officers are trained through various military academies.

Liu Jian had just repaid the sweetness from the sponsorship of the imperial examination, and he was naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity as the martial arts. But the martial arts have been canceled, so he thought of another plan and wanted to hold a martial arts competition.

Liu Jun thought about it, holding a martial arts competition can indeed attract many people to come, and popularity means economic effect. However, Liu Jun still felt that the competition was not suitable, although now the imperial court had forbidden the people to hold ordinary swords and guns, but it was forbidden to have crossbows, guns, armor, etc.

However, Liu Jun still didn't want to get it, and the people of the world all came to Beijing with knives and guns to compete.

"His idea is good." Liu Jun thinks about it, he can make the martial arts competition a sports competition. When the time comes, there will be more projects, and the whole people can participate.

Running, horseback riding, archery, weightlifting, etc., are to change the situation of the Olympic Games in the future to the name of the martial arts competition. Well, you can also divide the competition area by province first, conduct the preliminary round, and finally select the official contestants one by one. Then the provincial teams will be formed to come to Beijing for the final and martial arts competitions.

Through the preliminaries in the province, you can also stir up the atmosphere in advance.

A large-scale martial arts competition can be participated by the whole people, and at the same time, it can also entertain the public, and even guide the people to strengthen their physical fitness.

Of course. The official organization of such a big event can attract many people to watch, and it also creates business opportunities. At that time, the sponsor program will be introduced, so that businessmen can sponsor the competition, and the government will get the sponsorship fee and make a lot of money. Businessmen get the opportunity to promote their brand, increase their visibility, and even get bonuses for those who participate in the competition, while the people are entertained.

Think about it. The various sporting events of later generations are not full of money.

Thinking about it again, the entertainment life of the people in this era is actually very small, and it will not be unpopular to have an event like a martial arts competition.

The military might be able to use such a competition to select some special talents such as sharpshooters from the conference.

has the opportunity to make money, or such a win-win and mutually beneficial way, Liu Jun is very happy. He was going to turn around and find someone to start preparing, and it happened that this year was the year of the imperial examination. After the excitement, there will be another martial arts competition next year. Another year of excitement.

"Have you figured out what's going on in Myanmar? Do you know why the Burmese have never sent troops north? ”

Liu Jun changed the subject.

The end of the year was approaching, but the Han army was still stationed in the south, and even tens of thousands of horses had crossed the border and seized a large part of the territory originally controlled by the Burmese.

But the Burmese have not responded, which makes Liu Jun a little worried.

A war thousands of miles away is still fought within the enemy's borders. You have to be careful.

Due to the rapid war, Jinyiwei was not able to grasp the intelligence of Myanmar at the first time.

This was a dereliction of duty on the part of Jin Yiwei, and Feng Sheng made every effort to mobilize people to make up for this mistake during this time. Today, when the emperor asked again, Feng Sheng hurriedly replied, "I was about to report this matter to Your Majesty." The Burmese are now too busy to take care of themselves, and they can't afford to go up to the northern border. ”

"Why?"

"Not long ago, the Ayutthaya Kingdom launched a large-scale attack on Burma, and the two sides continued to fight fiercely, and the Burmese did not have the upper hand."

Liu Jun knew that the Ayutthaya Kingdom was later Thailand.

Between Myanmar and Vietnam, there are many smaller countries, among which the more powerful ones are the Ayutthaya Kingdom and the Champa Kingdom. The Ayutthaya Kingdom is an old kingdom on the Indochina Peninsula, and it has been nearly 300 years since its founding.

On the Indochina Peninsula, the Ayutthaya Kingdom has a much longer history than the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma.

After the fall of the Bagan Dynasty, a powerful king in Burmese history, Myanmar was divided into several small kingdoms. The Taungoo Dynasty was a dynasty founded by the Burmese, and there were also the Ava Dynasty established by the Shan people and the Baigu Dynasty established by the Mon people in the north. However, after years of war between Ava and Mon, Taungoo, who lived in the south, took the opportunity to rise, and finally destroyed Awa and Baigu and unified Burma.

For more than 100 years, the Donghu Dynasty swept across the entire Indochina Peninsula and stood out from the crowd. Even in several wars with the Ming Dynasty, they defeated the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty's Yunnan border Tusi, taking away a large area of Ming territory.

However, Myanmar's main rival on the Indochina Peninsula is the neighboring kingdom of Ayutthaya.

While still in Bagan, the Ayutthaya dynasty invaded the Mon kingdom in southern Burma.

By the time of the Taungoo Dynasty, Burma had been using troops against the Ayutthaya Kingdom for many years, and the war between the two countries continued.

The Taungoo Dynasty army even twice captured Ayutthaya, the capital of Ayutthaya, the capital of Ayutthaya, and the Ayutthaya Dynasty became a vassal of Burma for a time.

However, one of the three great emperors of Siam, the legendary black prince Na Li Xuan revived the Ayutthaya dynasty.

After the capital of Ayutthaya was destroyed for the second time, Na Li Xuan was taken to Burma as a hostage, and Ayutthaya became a vassal of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma.

In 1571, Na Lixuan was released and made a prince upon his return, after which he began to lead the Siamese army against the Burmese army. Later, he defeated the Burmese army and restored the kingdom of Ayutthaya. After that, he defeated the counteroffensive of the Burmese army and succeeded to the throne.

After he succeeded to the throne, he led an army to invade Cambodia and defeated the Burmese army that invaded again, killing the Burmese prince who commanded the army. After that, it invaded Cambodia again, captured its capital, and seized most of the Malay Peninsula from Burma.

After that, the Thai army took the initiative in the war and repeatedly sent troops to attack Burma, and Na Lixuan even led the army to besiege the Burmese capital twice.

It was not until more than 20 years ago that Na Lixuan led his army to invade Burma again and died of illness in battle, and the Thai army retreated. In the more than 20 years since then, the Burmese and Thai armies have fought fiercely in southern Burma and northern Thailand, attacking and defending each other.

Although the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma is now claimed to have just been revived, in fact, after a short period of revival, it began to weaken again. Thailand, on the other hand, began to weaken after the death of the legendary Emperor Na Lai Xuan, and the two countries continued to fight, both scarred and defeated.

It was at this time that Liu Jun, in order to recover Liuwei, deliberately drove the rebel Tusi rout in the southwest to Burma. There were quite a few of these defeated soldiers, and there were no less than 100,000 people with their families.

Originally, Liu Jun wanted to make a good show and drive more chaotic soldiers across the border, and he also happened to enter in the name of chasing and suppressing the rebels. If there are fewer rebels, it will not be directly solved by the Burmese army, and there will be no excuse to enter the country.

Second, Liu Jun also intends to drive these rebels as a precursor, so that they can use the rebels to cause some destruction in northern Myanmar.

But by mistake, Liu Jun miscalculated the situation in Myanmar at this time.

The Burmese army was fighting fiercely with the Thai army in the south, and as a result, a large number of southwestern rebels rushed into northern Burma, burning and looting everywhere, and the remaining Burmese army and Turkish soldiers were unable to defeat these rebels.

The defeated Tusi army in the southwest was vulnerable to the Han army, but when they arrived in Burma, they defeated the officers and soldiers and native soldiers in northern Burma.

These rebels burned all the way south, and now they have actually laid siege to Awa, the capital of Burma. It is clear that these toasts want to occupy the magpie's nest and are ready to start again in Myanmar.

When Jin Yiwei found out about this fact, he couldn't believe it.

Isn't the Burmese army very strong, didn't it once defeated the Ming army, didn't it take away a lot of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it called Zhongxing, why is it so weak.

The Burmese army should not have been so weak, but it was caught off guard.

Myanmar has also experienced internal rebellion in previous years, as well as a counteroffensive by Thailand, and it is no longer as strong as it was in the past. At one point, they lost half of the country, and only one of them remained in Upper Burma. Had it not been for Anahualon's bravery, his recovery of Burma, and the defeat of the Portuguese, they would have almost perished.

It is now the era of King Taloung, but it has been weakened again due to the years of war with Thailand.

While the routed troops in the southwest were driven into northern Burma by the Han army, the main Burmese forces were fighting the Thai army in the southern region. The north was empty, and it was caught off guard for a while, and it was directly besieged by a group of rebel Tusi in the southwest of the Han Dynasty.

This is the third time in decades that the capital of Myanmar has been under siege.

The first two times were besieged by the army of the Thai Emperor Na Li Xuan, barely lost, but now they are besieged by a group of defeated soldiers of the southwest Tusi.

Hearing such a result, Liu Jun's eyes showed two surprises. He was still speculating about what kind of conspiracy this Burmese was engaged in, and then wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but he didn't expect it to be such a fact.

In this way, what is there to hesitate about, take advantage of his illness and ask for his life!

"Back to the military plane!" Liu Jun said impatiently. (To be continued.) )
