After the affairs of the Great Dynasty Meeting were all over, I immediately called Zhang Han over.

The two of them stood in front of the map, and I was still quite worried when I thought about the current situation.

"Although Daqin is thriving, other countries are not idle, and they must create a safe environment for Daqin as soon as possible."

Zhang Han thought so: "Now the threat outside is only Guishuang." ”

I was noncommittal and said, "No matter what, we have to solve the problem of Guishan first." ”

I pointed to the Kunlun South Peninsula: "And to contain the Kushan, the Kunlun South Peninsula is the key!" If it's just a unified Guishan, there's nothing to worry about, but with the granary of the Kunlun South Peninsula, it's very different. ”

Then he complained: "I thought that the Peacock Dynasty would be able to survive for a while, after all, there is such a big territory, who would have thought that they would be so useless." Ah San is really magical, anyone who goes can rule them......"

"Ah San?" Zhang Han said curiously: "Is the Peacock Dynasty still called Ah San?" ”

I suddenly smiled: "When you take the Kunlun South Peninsula, you will change the name of the local natives to the Asan tribe!" ”

Zhang Han looked confused......

I waved my hand: "What happened to the newly expanded soldiers of the Ganquan Battalion?" ”

"I just arrived, and I haven't started training yet, and the musket has already arrived."

"It's too slow!" I said in a deep voice: "I can't wait, immediately transfer 5,000 people to Panyu Port!" Another 500 people will be transferred to Langya Port and Panyu Port with the Dafu ship! ”

Zhang Han was a little worried: "Xiqi Gu has already transferred 20,000 people, and now there are only more than 10,000 well-trained musketeers in the Ganquan battalion, and the newly recruited 20,000 people may take a year and a half to form a combat force. ”

I shook my head: "The soldiers of the Ganquan Battalion are all carefully selected, and there are a lot of supervising troops, and there are more than 30,000 people in the northern and southern armies, so don't worry." ”

Zhang Han didn't say anything more: "Obey!" ”

"Don't transport the grain and grass you need from Guanzhong, but directly transfer it from Lingnan Cang and Dacang on the Qinnan Peninsula."

"Yes!" Zhang Han paused for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, with the Dafu ship, Qin Nanyang only has thirteen warships, which can only transport 2,600 people at a time, not counting grain and grass, and it will take more than two months to set off from the Qinnan Peninsula to the Kunlun South Peninsula." Now I don't know the situation on the Kunlun South Peninsula, and I am worried that the follow-up reinforcements will not be able to keep up. ”

I sat down and frowned, "That's a problem. ”

After pondering for a long time, I raised my head: "Call Sima Li." ”

Not long after, Sima Li came in a hurry.

"How many merchant ships have been built in Panyu Port?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there are 20 large ships, more than 40 small ships, and five more under construction."

I nodded: "When will the construction be completed?" ”

"It's been about three or four months." Sima Li raised his head and said, "Your Majesty wants to?" ”

"I'm going to requisition these merchant ships in January!" I said in a deep voice: "This matter is top secret, don't talk about it for the time being, send a competent person to Panyu Port in early January to handle this matter." ”

Sima Li didn't ask any more, bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After Sima Li left, I asked, "With these boats, it shouldn't be a problem to squeeze them." ”

Zhang Han has a big head, it's no problem to squeeze, the key is that it's a little too crowded......

But there is no other good way, Zhang Han echoed: "Probably it should be fine." ”

"That's right." I slapped my head: "I almost forgot about the big thing." Call Sima Li back. ”

As soon as Sima Li walked to the front hall, he came back with another question mark.

"Taking advantage of the fact that the snow has not yet fallen, Kuaima ordered the three counties of Lingnan to buy unripe citrus, dried fruits, dried vegetables, all vegetables, and the most important thing is citrus."

Sima Li knew that it might have something to do with the ship's requisition, so he didn't ask much, but just bowed down to answer.

Seeing Sima Li leave again, Zhang Han was puzzled: "Your Majesty, what are you buying these citrus fruits and vegetables for?" ”

I smiled and explained, "Do you know what you are most afraid of sailing?" ”

"Uh...... Of course, it's the storm and the waves, and secondly, the soldiers' homesickness, right? ”

I nodded in agreement, "Of course this is one of them, but there is another danger, which is scurvy. ”

Zhang Han was a little puzzled: "What is scurvy?" ”

"Vitamin C is particularly important for human health, human beings are one of the few organisms that cannot synthesize vitamin C by themselves, and can only be supplemented from the outside, and the higher vitamin C content is unripe citrus, vegetables are also very important, can provide many people with other elements that the body needs."

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Is this element important?" ”

I said solemnly: "Don't underestimate this element, once people can't get vitamin C for a long time, the body will become extremely fragile, teeth will fall out, skin bleed, and then cause infection and scurvy!" It's going to die! ”

Zhang Han realized the seriousness and said solemnly: "The minister understands! ”

I slowed down: "But don't worry too much, the most people who get scurvy are long-distance fleets, and they can't see land for a year and a half." Like this expedition to the Kunlun South Peninsula, they are all sailing offshore, and the vegetables and citrus they bring can last for a while, and even if they finish eating, they can also find wild fruits or supplies from those indigenous tribes along the way. ”

"And now with alcohol and military medical officers, infections can be treated in a timely manner, and there shouldn't be a problem. I'm just doing this just in case. ”

Legend has it that Zheng He once used bean sprouts and tea to solve this problem, which is most likely fake.

Not to mention how much vitamin C is contained in the bean sprouts and fried tea, and how much you have to eat to get the necessary nutrients, the fresh water needed to sprout beans is a huge amount of heaven, and where does so much freshwater sprouts come from at sea.

The most real possibility is that Zheng He is also sailing in the offshore sea, and he can get supplies at any time, so he doesn't have to think about this matter at all - you must know what Zheng He went to the West for, that is, to promote the prestige of the country, and ask those barbarians to ask for vegetables and fruits will not be denied......

Zhang Han nodded: "Your Majesty's knowledge is as vast as a sea of smoke, and the minister can't see what happens!" ”

"No need to be a sycophant." I quipped, "I heard that you have been very diligent in going to the Great Qin Military Mansion recently?" Studying went? ”

Zhang Han smiled embarrassedly: "When the minister went to the Ganquan camp with Xi Qigu and Ying Yan that day, he happened to talk to Xi Qigu about leading the troops to fight, and when he heard Xi Qigu's views on Daqin's current use of troops, the minister was really ashamed of himself. Now that the ministers are generals, if they don't want to forge ahead, how can they be worthy of His Majesty's trust, and how can they be responsible for the soldiers who are fighting ahead! ”

"Well, it's good that you can have this realization." I praised: "It is precisely for this reason that the Great Qin Military Mansion was established in the first place, you have been busy with political affairs, but you don't have time to study, and now you have time to study more, which is a good thing." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, let's go get ready. After all, there are many dynasties on the Kunlun South Peninsula, and the development of civilization is also very fast, if you want to succeed in a war, you must be fully prepared! ”

Zhang Han said solemnly: "The minister understands! Retire! ”
