In early spring, the weather in Jinling City is still very cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the spacious imperial study, there are several bronze tripod furnaces with a height of one person in several corners around, and each of them is burning with charcoal fire, the flame is burning very strongly, and the coldness in the air is also driven away by wisps of heat.

After Sun Quan and the others made a resolution, they hastily discussed it.

In about an hour, they can be regarded as giving a battle against the Rest Empire, and they only need four months to half a year to prepare well, and under the premise of not dealing with Rome, the Western Expeditionary Legion and the Sea Eagle Legion can join forces to fight another battle.

The chances of taking down the Empire of Sabbath are high.

Although the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army suffered a great defeat in Mesopotamia by the combined forces of the Roman army and the Sabbatarian army, the Wu army had already taken the Kushan region and dozens of small states around the Western Regions Protectorate.

In other words, the Wu army's foundation in the Western Regions battlefield has been firmly established, and even if it loses this battle, it will only withdraw from the territory of the Resting Empire.

The Western Expeditionary Corps did suffer a lot of vitality, but it was not difficult to recover.

"Tai Shici, before the war, the Western Expeditionary Corps must accept the reorganization of the Military Aircraft Department, and only after the reorganization can the restoration of combat effectiveness be completed, and the name of your legion must also be changed!"

Sun Quan raised his head, looked at Tai Shici's face, and said in a deep voice: "This battle has reached this point, and the matter of the Western Expedition is no longer just a matter of one of your legions, but a matter of the entire Great Wu!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Hearing this, Tai Shi Ci nodded, then arched his hands and said respectfully: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give you a name!" ”

"Name-giving?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan squinted slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, he strode back to the imperial case, spread out a rectangular piece of white paper, and then picked up the pen and ink, and wrote four words on it: "Tai Shici, the Western Expeditionary Legion is the ninth legion established by the Wu Army, most of the soldiers are Guishan soldiers and Han Sui's Xiliang soldiers, and there are Wusun Dawan people from the Western Regions, these miscellaneous people are fused into the legion, and it is a little difficult for us to extract special meaning from it to establish the life of the legion. Then we can only follow the previous custom of taking the name of the Great Wu Legion, most of them are named after animals, the Guishan people, the frost is snow, the Xiliang people, the snow is also cold, I named the Ninth Legion the Snow Leopard Legion! ”

"Snow leopard?"

When Tai Shici heard this, his eyes moved slightly.

"Snow Leopard Legion?" Zhou Tai and the others were also stunned.

"The snow leopard is a very fierce animal, they can fight bravely in the worst and most icy conditions, I hope that your soldiers can have their fighting frenzy like the snow leopard!"

Sun Quan handed over the white paper with the four words of the Snow Leopard Legion to Tai Shici: "When I go back, I will personally design a military flag as the military flag of the Snow Leopard Legion!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tai Shi Ci respectfully accepted this piece of paper.

That's an honor.

Honor of the Ninth Legion.

"Okay, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, you two have been in the Western Regions and the sea for many years, and it is rare to come back to Jinling City, so you can reunite with your family during this time, and I will allow you to return to Guishan after March to reorganize the army!"

Sun Quan said.

One of their two legions was adrift at sea, and the other had been fighting in the Western Regions for many years, and Sun Quan always felt a little indebted to these two people.

"Yes!"

Tai Shi Ci and Zhou Tai nodded in gratitude to Sun Quan.

Zhou Tai suddenly stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, there is still one more thing to report at the end!" ”

"Say!"

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Tai suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, do you know that there are many expedition and naval navigation teams under the command of our Sea Eagle Legion, and their main job is to explore the boundless sea territory, mark the sea navigation map, and establish sea routes!" Zhou Taidao.

"Of course I know, this is the sailing team that I personally ordered the Sea Eagle Legion to form!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded.

The Sea Eagle Legion is the first navy of Soochow and the overlord of the sea, but in fact, their understanding of the sea is not very thorough, so in addition to the main warships, the Sea Eagle Legion also has some detection warships, which do not participate in the operation, but only sail to explore the sea.

The contact with the world began with the work of some navigators.

Only by connecting the routes of the sea can we make a clear picture of the world.

"In October last year, our Sea Eagle Legion had ten sea exploration fleets, which set off from Yizhou and sailed eastward, and thousands of miles away, they found some scattered islands, among which there was a continent of extraordinary scale!" Zhou Taidao.

"To the east? Is that sailing the Pacific Ocean? ”

Sun Quan's eyes lit up slightly, and his strategy for the navy was basically to enter the west from the Strait of Malacca, and did not go through the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

It's too far to go from the Pacific to Western Europe, across the Pacific Ocean, and across the Atlantic.

"A continent of extraordinary size?" Sun Quan muttered in his heart: "Could it be the American continent?" ”

He didn't expect that after the navy was replaced with ironclad warships, it would be able to sail so far and cross the entire Pacific Ocean.

"Is there anyone on the island?" Sun Quan came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Tai, and asked.

"Yes!"

Zhou Taidao: "According to the discovery of our navigation team, there are many indigenous people on this continent, and our landed soldiers were attacked by the local aborigines, ten sailing teams, except for four who were destroyed in the sea voyage, and five were left on the New World, and only one came back!" ”

"Native Americans, that's supposed to be Indians!"

Sun Quan thought about it carefully: "At this time in the Americas, the northernmost part was the Inuit, and the Mayan civilization of the Indians in the south!" ”

As far as he knows, the Americas are one of the continents with the shortest history of development on Earth.

Before 1492, the Americas were unknown in the East and West.

After 1492, the advent of the navigator Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas and connected the Americas with Europe.

Of course, Columbus was not the first to discover America, he only promoted the entry of Europeans into the Americas and the development of the Americas.

At this time in the Americas, although there are indigenous people on the continent, whether it is population or cities, they are not as good as the Far East and Western Europe, at most they are just some city-states where slavery exists, and the threat to the Great Wu Dynasty is not high.

As long as you enter the Americas, with the ability of the Wu army, it should not be very difficult to take the Americas.

"Zhou Tai, it is not easy for the Sea Eagle Legion to take care of the west at present, the matter of the new continent, I will let the Flame Legion follow up, since we have found out, we have to find a way to sail into this new continent and take this new continent!"

Sun Quan pondered for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, this was discovered by our Sea Eagle Legion, why give it to the Flame Legion, we can also send troops to take the New World!" Zhou Tai was a little unhappy, let He Qi pick the fruit, wasn't he busy in vain?

"Zhou Youping, you have a big appetite, but can you eat it?"

Sun Quan glanced at him and said coldly: "Your strength is already very tight now, can you send a regiment or a division to land in the New World?" ”

"This?"

Zhou Tai also knew that his current strength was very surprised, and when the battle against Guishan began, his troops would be even more nervous, and he would definitely not be able to draw troops, but he was still unwilling.

"Zhou Youping, I said that you were a pig's head, and I really didn't say anything wrong about you!"

Sun Quan looked at him, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "The New World was discovered by the navigation team of your Sea Eagle Legion, and the first credit is indispensable to you, and He Qi wants to enter the New World, do you want your sailing team to lead the way, you won't discuss it with He Qi, and it is a matter of time before the Flame Legion enters the sea, and you want to take all the credit on the sea in the hands of the Sea Eagle Legion, you are not afraid of smashing yourself, such a large sea, you are a Sea Eagle Legion, can you take care of it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general knows that he is wrong!"

When Zhou Tai heard this, he was all over, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

Sun Quan's words made him feel like an initiation.

After the reorganization of the military this time, the Flame Legion will be the second army of all-naval officers, and it is impossible for the Seahawk Legion to monopolize it.

At this time, it is not very generous, then the next will only be the infighting between the two legions, how to fight, and in the end, it is they who will suffer, let the land legion see the joke.

"Get out!"

Sun Quan said angrily.

"Yes!"

Zhou Tai and Tai Shi Ci walked out of the imperial study in a gloomy manner.

……

In the imperial study, Sun Quan calmed down, he walked out of the imperial case and walked to the table in the front hall: "Fengxiao, Yuan Zhi, spread out a big map for me!" ”

"Yes!"

The two spread out a large map on the table.

"It's all now!"

Sun Quan took up the pen and added a heavy stroke to this map of the world that he had written, and this stroke was the American continent in the Pacific Ocean.

With the addition of the Far East and Western Europe, and the addition of an American continent, this map of the world is complete.

"Your Majesty, we take the Central Plains as the core, expanding east and west, Rome in the west, and the New World in the east, the sea is endless, east and west, we can't see the end at all!"

Xu Shu looked at the map and couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

He never knew that the world was so big and so vast.

"How big is this world?"

Guo Jia's gaze also had an incredible color, after he entered the core of the Great Wu, he was more and more shaken by the secrets of the Great Wu Dynasty, and some emotions he felt more and more light.

"Huh!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly smiled involuntarily, put down the pen in his hand, and said faintly: "In fact, the territory of the world is not as complicated as you think, no one knows where the end is, maybe one day, we will meet inexplicably in the east and the west soldiers, this is not sure!" ”

Their current shock was just looking east and west from the map and expanding in two impossible directions.

Actually, they don't know a thing.

The earth is always round, as long as you walk in a circle, the east and west will eventually meet! (To be continued.) )
