In addition, there are already expedition ships that have begun to explore the lands of the South Seas and draw nautical charts. It is believed that in the near future, the Nanyang Islands will appear on the territory map of the Chinese Empire.

As for Du Fuwei, after now attacking Li Zitong's territory, his power has become stronger and stronger, and he has entrenched the land south of the Jianghuai River, resisting Dou Jiande's southern expedition in the north, and in the southwest, he is looking at Li Zitong.

Li Zitong is also a capable person, a few ups and downs, can fall down and get up again, after being cleaned up by Du Fuwei, Li Zitong fled east to Taihu Lake, packed up stragglers, got 20,000 people, attacked Shen Faxing in Wu County, and defeated Shen Faxing. Shen Faxing took hundreds of his relatives to abandon Wu Juncheng and fled. When Li Zitong's army became strong again, he moved the capital to Yuhang, and took over all the territory of Shen Faxing, east to Huiji, south to Wuling, west to Xuancheng, and north to Taihu Lake, all of which were owned by him.

Now in the face of Du Fuwei, who is becoming more and more powerful, Li Zitong is also very clear that he is no longer an opponent of Du Fuwei's equal strength, and has already sent envoys to Xiao Mill of Liang State, hoping to join forces with Xiao Mill.

And after Xiao Mo got the news, he was quite happy, maybe in his eyes, it was indeed a blessing to be able to unite with Li Zitong, at least he only needed to be attacked on three sides at present. However, this guy's move was strongly opposed by Cen Wenwen.

First of all, Li Zitong is definitely not a good bird, and he is extremely familiar with betraying the alliance, and Li Zitong's opponent is Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei has already surrendered to the Chinese Empire, that is to say, uniting with Li Zitong will inevitably offend the most powerful enemy of the Chinese Empire, which is definitely not good news.

Especially for the Liang State, which was attacked on all sides, the Huaxia Empire at least maintained a certain amount of goodwill towards the Liang State, but now, Xiao Miao's approach will inevitably make these goodwill disappear without a trace. Then, when the Chinese Empire entered the customs, it was the period of the fall of the Liang State.

His words were very reasonable, and even I, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help but applaud Cen Wenwen's words.

"It's a pity, Xiao Mian is short-sighted, jealous and jealous, although Cen Wenwen's words are golden and jade words, but ......" Fang Xuanling also commented with a regretful face.

"But Your Majesty, since the Liang State has formed an alliance with Li Zitong, should we say something?

I nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is natural, otherwise, Xiao Mo may really think that I am weak." Tell Zong Luosui to let him take the entire territory of Badong County within a month, and I want to see how Xiao Mo will react. ”

"Your Majesty Nuo rest assured, the minister will go and tell General Zong, I believe that General Zong will not disappoint Your Majesty." Wei Yunqi raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently.

"Well, I also believe in General Zong, by the way, how is the road in the land of Bashu repaired?" I nodded, and my eyes fell on the samurai in charge of road construction.

The samurai stood up and took a thick copy of information to read and report on the other side: "The cement straight roads of those counties in the Bashu Basin of Your Majesty have been completely unobstructed by the end of spring this year, and in addition, the cement straight road from Chang'an to Jiaozhi is still more than 700 miles away from it. The cement straight roads in other counties are very difficult to construct because of the difficult mountains. But at present, most of the projects have been completed by more than half. ”

Shu road difficult, difficult to go to the blue sky, this is the ancients said, don't say it is the ancients, even if I was born in the twentieth century, I also have a deep experience, especially in the eighties, most of the roads, is still the kind of climbing road, climb the mountain, sometimes, in order to go around a mountain, even spend several hours, and if it is a hole, at most it is a matter of ten minutes.

And Ben Gongzi naturally wants to play ruthlessly, and if he can make holes, he will try to make holes and walk. It's rare to climb a mountain or something, so this kind of road construction even makes me feel like an ancient highway.

And because it is in the mountainous area, such road construction, it is indeed increased difficulty, but it doesn't matter, in this way, the road is straightened a lot directly, reducing a lot of detours, although the cave will have a certain danger, and there is a certain difficulty when the carriage and horses travel, but it is always much better than going around the mountain and the water.

Therefore, I can understand the difficulties raised by the samurai, and fortunately, thanks to the war in the Central Plains, I was able to make this son have unexpected labor for these things. Although road construction is dangerous and kills, the number of deaths is drizzle compared to fighting.

At most, there are two years to go, all the counties in the land of Bashu can be fully connected, and just a cement straight road from Chang'an to Jiaozhi through Shu makes a lot of Shu products can be more convenient to transport, and also drives the trade, industry and commerce of the land of Bashu.

Everywhere under the rule of Honkoko, the development of industry and commerce was extremely rapid. The rapid development of industry and commerce has brought about more frequent trade and trade exchanges, and in the same way, frequent trade and trade exchanges have made the revenue of the state treasury grow rapidly.

It also made many civil and military ministers and people of insight who opposed and supported the workers silently shut their mouths, because, seeing is knowing, looking at the smiling faces of the people under the rule of this prosperous Chinese empire, they knew very well that even if they opposed it again, it was useless.

Because the facts are already in front of us, the development of industry and commerce, far from hindering the development of agriculture, has led to an almost complete cessation of land annexation. Because the fair and just tax income of the Chinese Empire is felt by everyone, although such fairness can only cover the majority of people, but it is already many times greater than that of the previous dynasties.

From the emperor to the commoners, all pay taxes according to the rules, who has anything to say? The Son of Heaven has accepted it, are you embarrassed to have the face to oppose it, and you can't do it if you don't pay taxes?

In addition, the establishment of national studies in various counties and counties has begun, and many literati who had no aspirations in the past are willing to come out of their homes and come to these schools to teach the children of these merchants, peasants, and workers knowledge, so that they can understand that the country they live in is called the Chinese Empire.

The script they used was called Chinese characters, and they all had the same bloodline, and they were all the people of the proud Chinese Empire.

The cohesion of the country is to cultivate it from an early age, so that they can understand the name of the land in which they live and reproduce, the name of their race, and the future of their life.

A large number of retired soldiers have also joined the education team, and the courses they teach and the ideas they advocate have stimulated the enthusiasm and yearning in the hearts of these teenagers, and they have told these teenagers how big the world is and what kind of dangerous environment the Chinese nation lives in.

And at the gate of each county school and county school, such a couplet is written: family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned, the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, and the sound of the sound are in the ears.

This couplet, which only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, appeared a thousand years earlier, and will be deeply engraved in the hearts of countless generations of Chinese students. In the future, they will all understand the truth of this couplet.

Li Yuan was silent, or rather, under such a crisis, his ambition to dominate the world had fallen into confusion. But silence also represents discontent and rebellion. But at least, it's much better than the explicit opposition of the past.

And Li Shimin, this time completely torn his face, he wanted weapons, equipment, food, everything, perhaps, this stubborn and excellent young man still wanted to make a last stand. I want to see if it will change this day.

For Li Mi's betrayal, Li Yuan was so angry that he wanted to single-handedly carry a knife and go to Shijun to ask Li Mi why he did this, Li Mi sent a letter, and the letter was very emotional and explained the reason why he would run to honor Jieli Khan.

Very simply, the 50,000 troops under his own command have been crippled and scrapped, except for the more than 20,000 dead, the rest are wounded, even he, Li Mi, has lost a few hairs. However, if you want to increase your troops, you Li Yuan will stop you Li Yuan from doing so and that.

What's more, your eldest son Li Jiancheng was so arrogant and domineering when he came to the labor army, and he didn't take the hard-working master Li in his eyes at all, and in desperation, he Li Mi had to make this decision and took refuge in Jieli Khan.

In this way, Li Mi also became a lackey of Jieli Khan along with Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, well, spokesperson, in this way, the probability of conflict between several parties was greatly reduced, so that he, Li Mi, could defend the northwest frontier of Shanxi for Li Yuan for a longer time with fewer troops.

The words are quite beautiful, as for the other things such as increasing troops privately, exchanging territory with Liang Shi, and secretly making peace with Liu Wuzhou, many other things have all been forgotten by Li Mi.

Yes, it's just his good. After Li Yuan received this letter, although he was eager to tear up the letter and devour it, but in the end, in order to ensure the safety of Jinyang, Li Yuan could only force a smile and write back a letter with the same emotion, in which he expressed the noble sentiment between two brothers surnamed Li who were a family five hundred years ago

In addition, he expressed his indignation at his son Li Jiancheng's behavior, and told Li Mi that he would definitely clean up this disobedient stinky child who dared to be so arrogant. In addition, I hope that Li Mi will see that he Li Yuan once reached out to help him and rescued him from the sea of suffering when he was in the most danger, and he must guard the north of Shanxi, and in the future, our brothers may be able to share the world equally.

In the letter, there was a lot of peace, and the two of them expressed their goodwill to each other, but Li Yuan would rather believe that Li Mi really thought so.

In this regard, Li Shimin wrote to complain that his father did not know if he fell off the horse during the battle some time ago, which caused the sequelae of taking the biased words seriously.
