In the fifth year of Zhenguang, the Han Dynasty recovered the Liaodong Peninsula

The whole of China recuperated under the unification of Liu Tai, if there is a project, it is only Liu Tai who keeps throwing money and grain, and keeps building, but it is a road that cannot be built.

In contrast, all the large and small rivers from Xingyang to Yuhang were opened, and it took only three years for the Yongji Canal in the north to be connected, but it took five years for the communication of the southern rivers to be connected.

Of course, in the past five years, it has not only been the construction of water canals, but also more or less with the help of this incident, so that the tax bureau can carry out large-scale punishment of the areas south of the Yellow River, and the land that breeds corruption again.

In particular, the wealthy families along the canal have really suffered a blow to the political iron fist and contributed a lot of encroached land.

With the political clarity and abundant food, Liu Tai began to take Zhao An as the commander and Tian Yu as the deputy commander to recover the Liaodong region.

Because Liu Tai's banner is to recover the lost land of the Han family, if the local alien race is willing to belong to the Han people and rule it with the Han system, Liu Tai is also happy to accept the alien race, and give the Han surname to show his virtue.

Duan's Xianbei had long been infiltrated, and there was almost no resistance, and even Duan Shujun, the leader of Duan's Xianbei, and Duan Wenyuan took the lead in merging into the Han family, so this Xianbei was easily annexed by Liu Tai.

But Murong Xianbei chose to resist.

And Liu Tai's army, because Liu Tai has sufficient supplies and neat armor, is more or less infected with some not very good habits, that is, he likes to fight head-on, because he is strong enough, and he is the easiest to kill the other party.

In the face of Liu Tai's attack, Murong Diao took advantage of the terrain to fight against Zhao An and Tian Yu a little.

After all, Murong Diao himself has been preparing for this day for a long time, and at the same time, both Murong Hao and Murong Han can be on their own.

The Murong tribe faced the attack of the Han army on both sides, although the farmland was burned and the pasture was destroyed, but in the end it was difficult to survive until the snow season.

Liu Tai did not force Zhao An to continue fighting, but decisively chose to withdraw the army, but this only gave Murong Clan support for about four months.

After replenishing the food, the soldiers and equipment of the Han army came again, even if Murong Hao was a famous general and Murong Han was the god of war, but in the face of the Han soldiers who were dressed in armor and re-replenished, this time there was no longer any resistance.

Liu Tai directly said that Murong Xianbei refused to accept Wang Hua, Murong was a Zhu clan, the men entered the steel mill to serve hard labor until they died of old age, and all the women were slaves.

Because their leaders did not submit to the king, they were inferior to the slaves who were purchased into China through human trafficking.

Those slaves can also learn Chinese and Chinese characters, and slowly obtain the household registration of the Han people, leaving their current identity, but these Murong Xianbei who refused to become Wang Hua lost this qualification.

Liu Tai wanted to completely cut off Murong Xianbei's vein, so as to set an example for other alien races.

In the seventh year of Zhenguang, the Han Dynasty recovered the Hetao Plain and reorganized the Yinshan defense line.

Zhou Ping, the general of the expedition to the north, was the main general, and Li Gu, the guard of Yanmen County, was the deputy general, leading an army of 100,000 to conquer the Hetao, successfully seizing the Hetao Plain in the hands of Yuwen Xianbei, and smoothly reorganizing the Yinshan defense line, so that the Hu people north of Yinshan did not dare to go south easily.

At the same time, animal husbandry technology began to develop in the Hetao Plain, and spread to the grassland from the Hetao Plain, Liu Tai intended to transform the grassland people from nomadic to animal husbandry, and maintain trade with the grassland for a long time.

At the same time, because of the promotion of Liu Tai's policy, the north and south of Yinshan have held mutual markets many times, and a large number of grassland specialties are traded with China, especially salt and tea, which are the necessities of the grassland people.

Because of the long period of trade and the mastery of animal husbandry technology, the originally wandering steppe nomads began to live around a grassland, although they were still a grassland civilization, but began to transform into a semi-agricultural civilization.

After all, the higher productivity of animal husbandry than nomadism has brought more people to the tribe to survive, which is enough to make many nomads who originally lived on the grassland begin to get closer to the Han people, who also have mastered farming techniques.

Of course, the only difference is that the Han people cultivate grain, while they cultivate pasture.

However, it was precisely because their place of residence began to be fixed that the Han culture began to penetrate into their customs and culture

In the ninth year of Zhenguang, the Han subdued the four counties of Hexi.

Liu Tai has been building roads since he got Xiliang, and this road has been repaired all the way from Chang'an to Tianshui.

Originally, it was completed in the sixth year of Zhenguang, but because of the outbreak of the war to conquer the Hetao, the stone of Li Ju's westward expedition was first pressed.

But this momentum did not last long, and after a year of recuperation after the war to conquer the Hetao Plain, Li Ju played a campaign to conquer Baiqiang and recover the four counties of Hexi, which Liu Tai allowed.

Although the so-called Baiqiang is numerous, in the face of the war machine that has been started, although they resist in every way, but in the face of the Han Dynasty, they will either be dogs or migrate, because all enemies who stand in the way of the revival of the Yan and Han will be crushed to death.

Even so, the footsteps of the Han army did not stop, and Li Ju re-became the protector of the Western Regions who had been suspended for a hundred years, and he was also the first protector of the Western Regions of the Liu Tai dynasty.

Liu Tai has only one order for Li Ju, that is, to tell the countries of the Western Regions that the Silk Road, which has been closed for a hundred years, is going to be reopened, and your Han father is back, you are not moved, and you are not surprised.

Surprise, in order to thank Dad for his return, you are willing to take the initiative to contribute money and efforts to build the Silk Road, right?

Well, I know that these half-sons are very filial, and if you are willing to follow the Han Dynasty, let you eat the dividends of the Silk Road, if you are not willing to follow the Han Dynasty, you naturally do not need to appear in the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence.

After that, Li Ju was completely stationed in the Western Regions, and it took almost twenty years to finally complete the Han family's re-rule over the Western Regions.

The symbol is that the Han dynasty worked together with these Western Regions countries to build a physical Silk Road from Chang'an to Daqing Pond, which is now Issyk-Kul Lake.

From then on, he began to communicate with the Sassanid Empire of Shapur II on this silk road.

There has been a long period of peace between the two sides, and there have been wars with more than 200,000 people.

Because sugar, tea, silk and porcelain circulated in the East were hard currencies that circulated to the West, small countries that grew up on the Silk Road were often very rich.

This makes Sassanid countries simply want to plunder the small countries on the Silk Road to make up for and transfer their own domestic contradictions, after all, victory and wealth can solve the contradictions in many cases.

Also for Yan Han, with the loss of territory due to the rebellion of the late Han Dynasty, all the territory was recovered in the hands of Liu Tai.

There were no more enemies of sufficient size around the Han Dynasty, and those families who wanted to divide the feud responded very strongly to the Sassanid Kingdom, and in this constant collision, the small countries continued to be broken and integrated into the Chinese territory.

In the face of the long-term suppression of the Sassanids, the countries of the Western Regions decisively chose to integrate into the Yan and Han dynasties, and the actual control of the Chinese forces gradually became where the Silk Road was built, and where the Chinese sphere of influence was derived.

Although it is only a sphere of influence, Liu Tai has also imprinted the imprint of Huaxia as much as possible in this entire sphere of influence.

The Great Han Kingdom of Baikal in the north, Indonesia in the south, Daqing Pond in the west, and Fuso in the east appeared on the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Before his death, Liu Tai had ordered that nine maps be carved with huge stones, one in Chang'an City, one on the top of Mount Tai, and one in his own tomb.

The other six are cast in the six famous lakes in the world, if the Han Dynasty is destroyed in the future, there is a new unified dynasty, Yan Huang will not be extinguished, and China will not be extinguished, so as to inspire the later imperial court, the country has not yet been unified, and the future generations need to work hard.
