Wu Nian has a strong personality.

At the beginning, it was the enemy of the whole world. The north competed with Meng Yuan, wanting to expel the Tatars and recover Liaodong. Dong fought against Goguryeo.

Nan and Chu fought each other. Compete with the Fuso people for sea power at sea.

It could have been done without this.

It's just that he is arrogant and unconvinced.

We're such men. If you want to fight, I will fight. Chu State, Goguryeo, Mengyuan, Fusang, come on, kill happily.

Now Fusang and Goguryeo have been defeated.

The neighboring countries that directly bordered the Han State were also simple and straightforward.

Northern Mengyuan, Southern Chu State.

Now the state of Chu has proposed to coexist peacefully with the state of Han. Of course, you can promise hypocritically that you will stabilize the Chu State first and destroy Meng Yuan.

Of course. You can't put your hopes in the promises of others.

It should be guarded against. Xiong Wuself is not an idle person.

But. If.

The state of Chu really did not send troops because of this, which greatly relieved his military pressure.

Wu Nian bowed his head slightly and said, "What Lord Chen said is true. Since ancient times, it is better to settle grievances than to settle them. For various reasons, the widow and the state of Chu became enemy countries by mistake. ”

"In the heart of the widow, he actually doesn't want to be an enemy of the Chu State."

"Besides. The widows have now conquered Goguryeo and Fuso. The territory is huge. It's very laborious to get to grips with it. If you are not careful, Fuso may be out of the control of the widows. ”

"The widows have neither the ability to attack the state of Chu. Even if he invaded the state of Chu, he would not be able to control such a large territory. ”

"And if the Han State and the Chu State can coexist peacefully. Then the ginseng and fur of Liaodong and the silk, porcelain and other commodities of the Chu State can be transported by land and exchanged with each other. It's good for both parties. ”

Wu Nian's attitude was surprisingly mild, showing the willingness of the two countries to reconcile.

Chen Ding bowed and saluted: "What King Han said is extremely true. The two countries have commercial and trade exchanges, and cooperation is beneficial to both countries. ”

But in his heart, that's not what he thinks.

As Liu Zhixing expected. He entered Liaodong with a microservice, and stopped and stopped along the way before arriving in Jiang County. He saw many.

Within the territory of the Han Kingdom, the people were rich. There are few people in ragged clothes and thin muscles.

In every city, the walls are tall and strong, and they look new.

In each city, there are soldiers guarding thousands of households. The soldiers were quite well equipped, physically robust, and had high morale.

Such a Han state.

It's like a beast of prey.

Beasts of prey naturally want to eat people. Either send troops to the Northern Expedition, or send troops to attack the state of Chu.

Dead friends do not die poor.

If you can. Let's let the Han Kingdom attack Meng Yuan.

But what if the Han State annexed the Meng Yuan? This Han king, who now swears that he wants to reconcile with the Chu State, is afraid that he will not hesitate to wave his troops south.

When the time comes, a war will still be inevitable.

We'll just talk about it then.

Even if there is a chance that it can be reconciled with the Han Dynasty. Then the state of Chu has to choose to repair it.

The state of Chu, Goguryeo, Mengyuan, and Fusang united and fought the Han state for so many years. Not only did there be no progress, but Fusang and Goguryeo were destroyed.

Now the national strength of the Han State is so strong again.

It is already impossible to destroy the Han Kingdom.

As long as the two sides can be reconciled, they can really coexist peacefully.

Open a border market, and kiss, and give New Year's coins can be.

The two sides hit it off.

Wu Nian asked Gongsun Sang to take Chen Ding down and agreed on the opening of the border market.

"How. Do you think that the outnumbered people sent troops to Meng Yuan. Can the state of Chu resist not sending troops? Wu Nian raised his head and asked everyone.

Liu Zhixing stood up and saluted Wu Nian: "Probably can." It seems that the state of Chu has realized that Xiong Wuself cannot destroy the Han state. ”

"Hmm." Wu Nian snorted, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile.

Today's events are really interesting.

The Slavs and the envoys of the state of Chu arrived in Jiang County together.

The Slavs wanted to unite with him and send troops to the state of Chu.

The envoys of the state of Chu hoped to reconcile with him.

To use a not-so-good analogy.

He's like a street hooligan now, and he's not easy to get along with.

Thinking of this, Wu Nian shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ma Youguang stayed. Let's go back to the rest. ”

"Yes." Liu Zhixing led the officials to bend down and salute, and then left the Yin'an Hall in an orderly manner.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ma Youguang, standing alone in the huge Yin'an Palace, a little pitiful.

Ma Youguang is thin and small, and his appearance is very ordinary, and he looks like he is wearing an official uniform, which is quite a feeling of being a monkey and a crown.

But he's very capable.

He is one of the old brothers of the Beishan Fort era in Wu Nian.

There are many things going on in Han at present, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are especially busy. For example, Wu Nian is a person who believes that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

He ordered the Ministry of Engineering to open up new roads in Youyan and Liaodong, repair old roads, and build Caoyun.

For example: Wu Nian handed over some of his knowledge to the Ministry of Industry. Let the craftsmen do the research.

Just like before, Wu Nian built a blast furnace to make steel.

There are some things that the Ministry of Industry has been studying for many years, but I am still confused. Something has progressed recently.

"Master Ma. Has there been any recent progress in cement and steam engines? ”

Wu Nian asked.

"Returning to the King. According to the king's requirements, the cement has been qualified. It's just that the yield is a bit low. As for the steam engine. ”

Ma Youguang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

What the hell is that?

The Ministry of Engineering has studied it for countless years, but it can't be done.

"Check it out." Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to stand up from the throne and wave his hand.

He's a traverser.

But it doesn't mean that you can do everything, and there is no computer to search for information. Only a few ideas can be provided.

Whether it can be made or not depends on the will of God.

And it just so happened. Cement and steam engines are all very important things.

In the current situation, cement can build roads, fortresses. Concrete walls are much stronger and more durable than earthen walls.

If Mengyuan is captured in the future, some cement towns can be repaired on the border. Used to defend against the attacks of the Slavs.

It will be of great help to stabilize the Northeast region.

The steam engine, that's the Industrial Revolution. Let alone.

And from pragmatism. If you build a train, a steam ship. No matter how large the territory is, it can be under the control of the imperial court.

Fuso, an overseas island, is also as solid as a rock.

And from a military point of view. If you use a train to transport food, soldiers and horses.

A lot of problems will be avoided.

Soldiers can avoid the fatigue of the march.

Grain and grass can be avoided and can be reached from the place of departure to the destination. Ten catties of grain and grass, there is only one catty left, or even fewer problems.

Transported by train, there is no need to consume food.

Just use coal.

Wu Nian took Luan Yu out of the palace, and together with Ma Youguang, he walked out of Jiangxian County along the main road, and came to a building complex affiliated to the Ministry of Industry outside the city.

The complex is very large, with many people coming and going, and it is heavily guarded.
