Inside Chang'an City.

Su Shandongchang directly slaughtered many envoys of Goguryeo, this matter spread throughout Chang'an City at the fastest speed, if it was in the past, such a matter of ignoring the etiquette of a great country, directly slaughtering the envoys, it would definitely cause many courtiers or literati to criticize and write, but now, the entire Chang'an City, but a piece of stability.

No one, not even any rumor, objected to or questioned the massacre.

The people in the imperial court, after dealing with the Goguryeo envoys for a period of time, coupled with all the movements of the cabinet, people already knew about the alliance between Goguryeo and the Aberli savages and the islands of the East China Sea, although they did not know the deeper purpose, but they also understood that the other party was not good.

Now, after years of development and cultural openness, the people of the Great Wei Dynasty have already formed a spirit of pragmatism that is almost rooted in their bones, the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, which are all told to their own people and friends, as for the enemy, if they talk about these things again, they are stupid.

If you are a guest, I will sweep the couch and prepare wine to welcome, if you are an enemy, I will have no eyes for swords and guns, and I will never recover from killing you.

Therefore, no one has any dissatisfaction with this matter, on the contrary, there is a feeling of great joy, does a small country like Goguryeo dare to provoke the majesty of our Great Wei Dynasty?

Then let them know what a great country is, what is prosperity, and what is a strong army.

Even, with the spread of the news, some people in Chang'an City, businessmen, etc., have begun to take the initiative to donate, support the imperial court, and even take the initiative to ask for enlistment, although this sign is not particularly obvious, but it also reflects the pride of today's Chang'an people, today's people of the Great Wei Dynasty.

At this moment, in the slightly dimly lit hall of the Dongchang Mansion, Su Shan was sitting on the main seat, sipping tea while discussing the next plan with Qin Ding'an.

"Governor, southern Yunnan, Shandong, Guanlong, yesterday has already come to the news, the soldiers and horses of all departments are in accordance with your orders, start to act, and they are all fast horses, according to this speed, Guanlong army to Liaodong, only need about five days, plus to Liaodong after rest, preparations, at most ten days. ”

The look on Qin Ding'an's face was a little solemn, but he didn't have much fear, and said in a low voice,

"And the armies of Shandong and southern Yunnan will reach Guanlong in half a month at most. ”

"As long as there are no problems during this period of time, there will be no problems within the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Anxi Protectorate can also maintain stability and continue to build step by step. ”

"As for Liaodong, even if the savage tribes of Goguryeo and Aberli really make some moves, I believe that Yuan Tianzhi and the Liaodong Army will be able to deal with it temporarily, so, in general, everything is still under our control, as long as the Guanlong Army completely reaches Liaodong, Goguryeo and other projectile lands can be easily taken. ”

"Hmm. ”

Su Shan nodded slightly, but the look on his face was not much easier, he hesitated for a moment in silence, and said in a solemn tone,

"The situation in Liaodong may be controllable, and Goguryeo does not need to be afraid, but the savage tribe of Aberli should not be underestimated. ”

"The savages are good at fighting, but the weapons are too poor to exert their real combat power, if the Bulon Empire sends them new weapons from the ocean, I am afraid it will become the most serious threat to the north of the Great Wei Dynasty, in case, the weapons of the Bulon Empire are more advanced than our Great Wei Dynasty......"

"The consequences are unimaginable. ”

"The Overseer thinks so. ”

Qin Ding'an heard Wei Zhao's words, and a trace of solemnity and worry flashed on his face, he was actually thinking about these things these days, but because the Great Wei Dynasty did not have the slightest understanding of the Bulon Empire at present, no matter how he thought about it, it was useless and ineffective.

And these days, he has also urged the academy many times, wanting them to crack the books brought back from Goguryeo Xiancheng as soon as possible, but there are really too few people who can understand the script of the Bulon Empire, and even if they understand a little, they are only half-understood, so the progress is quite slow.

The combination of many factors makes this even more troublesome.

However, there are some things that can make Qin Ding feel more comfortable, that is, the news of the Chang'an City Arsenal and the news of Shandong Port, he took a deep breath, and he arched his hand,

"Even if the Arberly Savages really have any weapons, we are not without the power to deal with them. ”

"Last night, from the Chang'an Arsenal, there was news that someone had developed a machine that could be driven by steam according to your prompts, although it could not be used on a large scale on the battlefield, and there were still some drawbacks, but if it was tried on a small scale, it should also have a miraculous effect. ”

"I went to see it all night last night, and I have this confidence. ”

"Also, there is good news from Shandong Port, the first batch of naval warships has come to an end, according to the current speed, five large-tonnage warships, thirty small-tonnage warships, can be completely completed and launched into the sea within two months, according to our estimates, when the time comes, these warships will have no problem dealing with the entire East China Sea islands. ”

"As for the Bulon Empire, according to Lao Fu, they are not coming with a large-scale fleet now, and they should not have that ability, so in a short period of time, the conflict between the Great Wei Dynasty and them should not break out. ”

"Now, as long as the turmoil in Liaodong is resolved, the Great Wei Dynasty will still have enough time to prepare and fight them head-on in the coming days. ”

Both of these are good news. ”

Su Shan heard Qin Ding'an's introduction, and the nervous look on his face finally relaxed.

The appearance of simple steam locomotives and the basic formation of naval warships are indeed a great good thing for the Great Wei Dynasty at present, and it can also help a lot in dealing with the current situation.

"As for the steam locomotive, you can urge the arsenal to do some more, and provide them with some funds, and strive to build a prototype as soon as possible according to our family's previous plan. ”

After thinking for a moment, Su Shan commanded in a deep voice,

"If the steam locomotive can be built on a large scale and paved with that kind of railroad track in the entire territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, then the speed of both the army and the commercial transportation will be greatly improved, and at that time, the Great Wei Dynasty will enter a period of development. ”

"The ability to deal with the outside world will also improve a lot. ”

"The most important thing is that the speed of the deployment of the army will also be greatly improved, whether it is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate or the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, if anything happens, it can also be dealt with as soon as possible, and it is more likely that more troops will be dispatched to Liaodong to deal with the Aberley savages. ”

"The old man understands. ”

Although Qin Ding'an hadn't really seen the kind of steam locomotive that Su Shan said, he also saw the amazing power that steam and machinery combined together last night, and he could imagine that what Su Shan said was not a fantasy, but something that could be realized.

After returning to the cabinet, the old man immediately transferred silver taels from the treasury to support the arsenal, and then transferred some students from the academy to help them, and tried to complete the affairs of the steam locomotive as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. ”

Su Shan nodded lightly and said,

"This governor still believes in you, all these years you have been sitting in Chang'an City, and there have never been any accidents in the affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty, everything is in order. ”

"Go ahead and do what you have to do. ”

"The governor should also prepare to go to Liaodong, Yuan Tianzhi and Hu Lingyu, the two veterans met there, if there is no governor's seat, it may not be so easy to run in, after all, the teams on both sides are not weak, they are arrogant, and about the affairs of the Aberley savages, the governor also wants to know more. ”

"Prepare for dealing with them in the future. ”

"Yes, Wechen retired. ”

Qin Ding'an didn't say anything more, respectfully arched his hand to Su Shan, and then withdrew from the hall, when his figure disappeared completely, the atmosphere in the hall also became quiet again, Su Shan slowly got up, came to the window, gently pushed open the window, his gaze looked at the already red sky.

Dusk is coming, and the afterglow of the sunset dyes the entire Chang'an City dark red, giving people a particularly low feeling, but in this gloom, there is no depression, but there is still a faint vitality, diffuse.

It symbolizes the world's first heroic city, prosperous and prosperous.

"Goguryeo, Aberli savages, the kingdoms of the East China Sea, the ...... of the Bulon Empire"

"I thought that this battle for world dominance would go very well, but in fact, it seems that it is not so simple. ”

Su Shan was silent for a long time, and then said to himself,

"However, it's too simple, it's not interesting, only real chess opponents, there is a feeling of joy and dripping with tricks, I hope you don't let me down too much. ”

"The Great Wei Dynasty in my hands, but when it is full of vitality, the future is even brighter, I don't know if you can also have this confidence......"

......

Three days later, in the early morning, the bright light illuminated the entire Chang'an City.

Now it is autumn, the autumn is high and cool, the world is blue, and the people outside Chang'an City are busy harvesting the crops in the field in the geography, and the wind and rain have been smooth for several years, coupled with the good policy of the imperial court, the people today are able to achieve the point that every household has surplus food.

And because the academy's investment in agriculture has increased a lot, in recent years, it has not suffered from insect disasters and natural disasters, and the output of grain has also increased significantly, almost twice as much as ten years ago, which makes the people of the entire Great Wei Dynasty, especially the farmers of this kind of field, happy from the bottom of their hearts.

And just when people were busy packing up the crops, in the distance of Chang'an City, there was suddenly a deafening roar, people raised their heads one after another, and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a team of mighty people and horses, roaring out of the Chang'an City, like a dragon.

At the front, there is a black carriage, behind the carriage hangs a hideous and fierce blood-colored flag, the flying fish is magnificent, fierce, it is the flying fish flag that represents the East Factory, and behind the carriage, the mighty, like the blood-colored river team, is also wearing the flying fish suit of the East Factory Servants.

It is as vast as a dragon and tiger, and people dare not underestimate it.

"Isn't that the team from Dongchang? This is going to Liaodong, right?"

"It should be, my nephew is on an errand in Dongchang, and I heard him say yesterday that the situation in Liaodong is a little troublesome, and the savages of Goguryeo and Abury seem to be going to make a move, and the Liaodong Army and the Guanlong Army are all ready. ”

"The past of such a large-scale East Factory must also be to deal with things over there. ”

"Savages, Goguryeo, just those guys, how can they be the opponents of our Great Wei Dynasty?"

"That is, our Liaodong Army, it took less than three months to destroy his Jurchen Dayan, and it only took two months for the Guanlong Army to destroy the entire grassland Xiongnu, and even their immortal days were captured by the overseer and raised as domestic animals......"

"That is, our Great Wei Dynasty, how can we care about these projectile barbarians?"

Bang!

Bang!

When the people were talking, the team of Dongchang had already come to the vicinity of this piece of world, and the mighty team, whistling by, was on this land, splashing a thick smoke and dust, which made people dare not look directly, and at this time, the people who were talking about it suddenly stopped.

Whoa!

Whoa!

As the team of Dongchang roared in the field, many people also knelt on the ground one after another, and then shouted in unison,

"Congratulations to the Overseer, the Great Wei Dynasty will win. ”

"Congratulations to the Overseer, the Great Wei Dynasty will win. ”

At the beginning, these sounds were not very violent, but as more and more people joined, the sound gradually became magnificent, pouring into the sky, and there was a particularly awe-inspiring momentum, erect, making the world a lot more powerful because of this.

"The Great Wei Dynasty will win...... Heh......"

The black carriage galloped between the fields, although it was bumpy up and down, and there was a violent roar of horses' hooves around him, but he still heard the shouts of the people clearly, stretched out his hand and lifted the carriage company, he turned his head and looked at the people kneeling in the field.

There was a faint smile on his face.

Over the years, although he is ruthless, ferocious, and unscrupulous when he does a lot of things, he also has a fierce reputation in the Great Wei Dynasty, and even many times, it is used as an example of children stopping crying, but at this time, listening to the cold of these people, and the word "victory", he suddenly had an inexplicable relief.

"It's a pretty good feeling. ”

After watching slowly for a long time, until all the figures were invisible, and those shouts could not be heard, Su Shan slowly lowered the curtain, and then returned to the carriage.

"It's really good. ”

Xiao Yu'er came to Su Shan's side, and while sending the dossier from Liaodong, she said with a smile,

"Actually, the slave maid didn't expect that we, in the Great Wei Dynasty, would have such cohesion......"

"Heh......"

Su Shan smiled lightly, a trace of inexplicability flashed in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time, and said,

"What the people want is nothing more than four things: first, stability, second, prosperity, third, human rights, and fourth, national strength. ”

"Bendo, now the first three have been given to them, and only this last one remains. ”

"Naturally, they should be happy......
