On the eighth day of November in the winter of the second year of Yuande, Chang'an entered a short period of warming, and the sun dispelled the continuous rain and snow of the past few days.

Liu Che took his brother Liu Yan, who had just entered Beijing for the Hajj, and the two brothers rode horses in the hunting ground of Shanglin Yuan.

I haven't seen him for nearly a year, Liu Yan has matured a lot, and a shallow beard has grown on his lips, and he has a little look when he speaks and acts.

On top of that, he's still alive and kicking, and he shows no signs of dying soon.

This made Liu Che quite pleased.

There is nothing more rewarding for Liu Che than seeing a person's fate changed.

"Liu Yan's fate has been rewritten...... Liu Che raised his horsewhip and thought to himself: "I will also change the fate of more people, tear that inherent history into pieces, and make it unrecognizable!" ”

With this in mind, Liu Che has become much more active than before on his safari today.

In half a day, three deer, two pheasants, and one and a half large wild boars have been hunted.

As for the more powerful beasts?

I'm sorry, before the emperor hunted, there were already cavalry clearances, and any beast that might threaten the emperor's life had already been strangled first.

The safety of the Son of Heaven is not something that can be joked about and sloppy.

When the first emperor, Jia Ji went to the toilet and was suddenly attacked by a big wild boar, many people know, but what most people don't know is that that time, the three Northern Military Academy captains who were in charge of the security work of the first emperor, more than a dozen team leaders, all committed suicide and apologized.

Of the officers present at the time, the only one who survived was named Zhidu.

With that bloody example, henceforth. No one dares to take it lightly when it comes to clearing the field.

Liu Che also attaches great importance to these things.

As a matter of fact. At present, Liu Che travels, safaris, and even moves in Weiyang Palace, responsible for his safety. All of them are absolutely loyal and reliable Yu Lin Wei or Tiger Ben Wei.

Now, or in the future, Liu Che may only trust these two armed forces that he absolutely trusts.

After Yizong took away Yu Linwei, it was Hu Benwei who was responsible for Liu Che's safety.

However, Yu Linwei will soon return triumphantly.

Around the beginning of next month, they will return to Chang'an.

If possible, Liu Che even planned to send Hu Benwei out to experience the experience.

It's a pity that now look around, the Han family now. There is a state of confusion when he draws his sword and looks around.

Southwest Yi, a place of poor mountains and bad waters, all kinds of small tribes are scattered, that is, to launch a campaign of conquest of the southwest, Liu Che estimates, there is no need for Hu Benwei, and the county soldiers of Shu County can solve it independently.

As for Mitsukoshi......

The old fox Zhao Tuo is still alive, and Liu Che is 100% sure that this old fox will only be alive. will do everything possible to restrain the country and desperately kneel and lick Chang'an.

As for Minyue and Don'ou, you can do something......

Liu Che's eyes were burning and he waved at Liu Yan. He called him to his side and asked, "The emperor's brother is in Jiangdu, Dongou and Minyue." How is the royal brother doing? ”

Guangling City has always been the big brother of Mitsukoshi.

The former King of Wu Liu Wei is, and the current King of Jiangdu Liu Yan is even more!

Originally. Liu Bang's original intention in setting up the state of Wu was to suppress the south.

The fleet of Han ships stationed in Guangling went down the river. You can attack any of the three koshi at will.

The three tsukoshi joined forces, and naturally they could resist the current Jiangdu garrison. Even the fleet of the State of South Vietnam was able to do this alone!

But the problem is that it can block Jiangdu, but not Chang'an.

Now who in the world doesn't know that the king of Jiangdu is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and he has always been the closest to him.

provoked Chang'an, as soon as Wang Shi arrived, wouldn't he become a fan?

When Wu Chu rebelled, Sanyue each sent thousands of servants to join Liu Bi to fight, after Liu Bi was defeated, these cannon fodder ran up, and after they fled back to China, in order to hide their cowardice, of course, they desperately advocated the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

This made the countries of Mitsukoshi have an erroneous assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty.

In other words, Liu Yan has now replaced Liu Bi's position in the past and has become the emperor of Sanyue.

Of course, this is the result of Liu Che's instigation and connivance.

In the past year, most of the information about Mitsukoshi that Liu Che had obtained was from Guangling.

The master father is currently in charge of the infiltration and operation of Mitsukoshi.

"Back to His Majesty, since he was ordered, he didn't dare to slack off, Lai Majesty Xià trusted, the ministers worked hard, and now they have planted a lot of eyes and ears in the Sanyue Kingdom, and the things they know are much more detailed than in the past......" Liu Yan hurriedly reported when he heard this: "As far as the ministers know, in the past year, Minyue and Dongou have had many small-scale firefights, and even the two princes of Minyue have been on the front line to command, Dongou has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and lost his division and land, and his brother was ordered by His Majesty to sell 500 pairs of iron armor and 1,000 crossbow machines, 1,500 halberds were given to Dongou to stabilize their positions......"

Liu Che nodded.

Between the three koshies, they hate each other, but they are three-legged.

Dongou was the smallest and weakest, and if it had not been for the support from China, it would have been annexed by Minyue or South Vietnam.

The successive lords of Dongou also knew this.

Therefore, the kings of Dongou in the past dynasties were basically powerful figures who unconditionally knelt and licked China.

In the beginning, their umbrella was Wu Qi, and then Liu Wei.

In particular, Liu Wei is not thin on Dongou and has sent envoys to mediate the wars of Minyue and South Vietnam against Dongou many times, and even sent troops to maintain the survival of Dongou at the expense of himself.

This point made Liu Che agree very much.

The Yue people must not have a unified country!

Even in the future, after the return of Sanyue to Chang'an, Liu Che intends to completely disintegrate and eliminate the national consciousness of the Yue people.

In the land of China, only one nationality is enough.

This matter of selling arms to Dongou was naturally instructed by Liu Che.

Without Liu Che's consent, Liu Yan couldn't even mobilize a pair of iron armor in his mansion treasury!

Because of Zhou Yuan, the internal history, and the middle doctor, the master and father, are all Liu Che's confidants!

This is also the premise that Liu Che dared to give Liu Yan the power including salt, navigation and supervision of the three koshies.

Without this premise, Liu Yan is at most a Liu Fei from his previous life.

Of course, Liu Yan will not know this. You don't need to know any of this.

He just needs to do his job well and help Liu Che get rid of Mitsukoshi. Then change to a comfortable and comfortable place with many beautiful women, and continue to call it lonely.

As far as Liu Che knows. Liu Yan is indeed planning to do so now.

Liu Che looked at Liu Yan and nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Huang is doing a good job!" Mitsukoshi is like a three-legged tripod, maintaining their respective evenly matched is the national policy for the next three years! ”

Liu Che scratched his head as he spoke, and said, "The East China Sea Kingdom is a little weaker...... In this way, after the emperor's brother returned to China, he sent a tribe to disguise himself as the East China Sea army to assist the East China Sea in defending against the attack of Minyue! ”

"No!" Liu Yan nodded when he heard this.

This is not a strange thing either. If it had not had all kinds of support from China, the Dongou Kingdom would have perished long ago.

And this support, of course, includes the military.

The Han army from Changsha or Guangling, dressed as the Dongou army, participated in the war, not once or twice.

Otherwise, the total population of Edongou is only three or four hundred thousand, and what can be used to compete with Minyue and Nanyue, which are thousands of miles away and hundreds of tribes large and small. Can there be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight against a large country?

Putting down this problem, Liu Che dismounted, and immediately an attendant stepped forward and led the war horse.

Liu Yan naturally followed and dismounted immediately. The two brothers walked slowly on the grass.

"Let's talk about that 'poison' person......" Liu Che said casually.

Liu Yan immediately replied: "I was about to report to His Majesty." The younger brother has preliminarily learned from this mouth the sea route of the poison to go, and has drawn a sea chart......"

When Liu Che heard this, he finally got right. "Where are the charts?" ”

Although as a traverser, Liu Che naturally knows. How to get to India by sea is nothing more than to set sail from Guangzhou (Panyu) or Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Crossing the South China Sea and entering the Indian Ocean.

But the problem is that the ocean is not land, and it is not accessible by knowing the direction.

At least for now, if the Han family wants to sail such long distances, it needs to upgrade ship technology and navigation skills.

At the very least, the sextant and sail technology have to keep up.

In addition, it is necessary to understand the currents, reefs and storm patterns of the relevant sea areas.

If you go to sea in a foolish and rash way, and encounter a storm or a reef, it will be the end of another Mengyuan expeditionary fleet!

Speaking of which, Liu Che really admired the luck of the Europa people in the Age of Discovery!

It's a miracle that they crossed such a vast ocean without encountering reefs, storms, or thunderstorms, and safely reached the Americas and even Asia.

And the fact that the 'poison' man was able to provide a detailed navigation chart was undoubtedly a surprise for Liu Che.

The wealth of the future Indian colonies could only be transported back home by sea at minimal cost.

Liu Yan replied honestly: "Your Majesty, the younger brother will carry the chart with him, His Majesty wants to see it, and the younger brother will take it out......"

Liu Che nodded.

Liu Yan then knelt down and presented a silk book from his arms.

Liu Che took it, put it on the ground, and spread it out.

The silk book used very superficial painting techniques to depict a map that Liu Che looked at with a headache.

Liu Che looked at it for a while, and barely understood the places marked on the map.

However, the geographical terms on the map are completely different from those known to later generations.

What Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, simply cannot be found on this map.

It's a bunch of dense, all kinds of strange and strange, according to the transliteration of the name of the country densely spread on the map.

After a superficial count, Liu Che found that there were more than a dozen countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

There are still names for this, and there are no names, God knows how many?

However, this is also normal, there are many small tribes of two or three thousand people in the southwest, which is known as a country.

There are also hundreds of people in the Western Regions, and occupying an oasis is called Wang Jianguo's wonder.

The allusion of later generations, Yoro's arrogance, although it turned out to be only a means for King Yoro to paralyze and protect himself, can also somewhat reflect the thoughts of these ignorant people who are outside the civilized world, between primitive and slavery.

But Liu Che's focus is not on these.

He looked at it for a moment and asked, "Why aren't there any signs of currents and reefs?" ”

It's a matter of life and death!

At least half of the wealth that Spain brought back from the colonies was lost at sea.

Beneath the calm ocean, there is a threat that can engulf any fleet.

Liu Yan was stunned.

See this. Liu Che also smiled and patted Liu Yan on the shoulder. Said: "As I said, the imperial brother doesn't have to take it to heart......"

Let a royal family live on land. Know what the dangers of the ocean are? This is indeed difficult for strong people!

However, Liu Che looked back at the chart, sneered twice at the corner of his mouth, and scolded secretly: "Profiteer! ”

Since the South China Sea, the chart has become an alien world in fantasy novels.

Liu Che never passed the geography exam.

But Indonesia and Malaysia still remember.

But Indonesia and the Malaysian peninsula, which were supposed to be stored outside South China, have disappeared out of thin air.

However, in 2,000 years, nature should not have such a miracle!

So the answer is, of course, that businessman either simply doesn't know that there are Indonesian archipelago and Malaysian deposits, and casually scribbles, or yes. He wants to monopolize and keep the secret of the route!

Liu Che feels that the latter is more likely.

Otherwise, why does the situation on the Indochina Peninsula still belong to the earth, and as soon as it comes out of the Indochina Peninsula, it becomes a different world?

And there is no mention of a reef, currents, or storms on the chart!

If this person didn't have the idea of monopolizing the shipping route, it would be hell!

Since ancient times, there have been no merchants and no traitors, how can anyone who can do ocean trade be an honest person?

Liu Che remembers it very clearly. Whether in the East or in the West, the original maritime merchants were all ruthless people who could become pirates at any time.

Businessmen for profit, let alone deceiving people. It's just to kill his own father, and he doesn't blink an eye.

It's a pity that this thing ran into Liu Che. I can only say that my fate is not good!

Liu Che got up and commanded Wang Dao: "Pass on my order, let the embroidered guard go and pick up the poisonous merchant." I don't care what means the embroidery guard uses, three days later. I want to know the origin, name, and knowledge of this person! ”

"No!"

Liu Che said to Liu Yan again: "In terms of translation, I also ask the emperor's brother to help ......."

"Edict!" Liu Yan kowtowed.

Whether the poisonous businessman is dead or alive has nothing to do with Liu Yan.

Moreover, Liu Yan is not stupid, when he heard his brother's tone, he still didn't understand that he was being tricked!

Liu Che also sighed.

This businessman, if he weren't a traverser, I'm afraid he would have been fooled!

As for the others, it is estimated that they will be tricked!

The IQ of the ruler is actually not high at all!

is like a little pig in his previous life, he was fooled by Fang Shi.

If you want to say that it is planted on the elixir of immortality, then forget it, after all, people are afraid of death!

But the biggest heel of the little pig is not immortality, but 'alchemy', which is inferior to water to oil......

If this happens to the little pig, Liu Che estimates that the little pig will probably be played to death......

But......

"Two thousand years later, the elites of the Celestial Empire, the high-ranking officials, and a lot of characters with various academic qualifications such as masters and doctors, aren't they also amused like monkeys by the so-called masters of a few charlatans?" Liu Che sighed in his heart.

I can only say that meat eaters despise, and the ancients did not deceive me!

Liu Che looked at the distant Wang Dao, and silently mourned in his heart for the so-called 'body poison' businessman who didn't know the origin.

In the hands of the embroidered guard, if he was smart, he would probably only be frightened.

But if he still wanted to fool him, the jailer of the embroidered guard would be happy to teach him what it meant to be honest.

However, this is still his luck, it is not that Liu Che still wants to use him to fool the courtiers and public opinion, he is already a dead man now!

Thinking like this, Liu Che instructed one of the attendants beside him: "Go and sue the king, don't kill people......"

……………………………………

Three days later, Liu Che got a report from Wang Dao: The poisonous man has been recruited!

At this point, Liu Che was not surprised at all!

As the highest political power in the known world civilization, the Han dynasty has thrown hundreds of streets on the earth in terms of culture and technology, and naturally ranks first in the world in terms of punishment and torture.

Even a person like Zhou Bo entered the Han prison and became a worm, not to mention a mere Yidi businessman?

Taking the report sent by Wang Dao, Liu Che glanced at it, and then laughed: "Sure enough, it's not a poisonous person......

"But what the hell is Lang Ji?" Liu Che scratched his head, not quite understanding the name of the country or place.

Then he threw the idea into Java.

According to the businessman's confession, the 'Lang Qi Country' where he is located is thousands of miles away from the legendary body poison, separated by more than a dozen countries.

Comparing the nautical charts redrawn by this person, Liu Che guessed that he was probably from Sri Lanka or the Bengal Peninsula?

The charts are still very badly drawn, and Liu Che can't tell them.

However, the several reef locations and the storm months marked on the chart made Liu Che quite happy.

At least, it's not a fool.

Liu Che is not afraid that he will deceive people!

After a year and a half, send someone to take him to the sea to find out.

If he had something to hide, Liu Che believed that he would know what the consequences would be!

It's just that after a slap, it's time to give a sweet date to comfort and comfort.

The so-called Stockholm syndrome Liu Che still has some research, maybe, can he raise a loyal dog?

Regardless of whether the man named 'Si Demo' came from Sri Lanka or the Bengal Peninsula, he was always located closer to India than the Han dynasty itself.

If the Han family wants to carry out the colonial cause in the future, it will be inseparable from all kinds of loyal slaves and dogs.

Even for the sake of the stability of the colony, the Han family had to share many benefits with the upper nobility of the colony.

Thinking about colonization, Liu Che couldn't help but set his eyes on the Korean Peninsula.

Next month, Yizong will return to Chang'an with Yu Linwei and the tribal kings of the Korean Peninsula, such as Canghaijun, Zhenban, and Ma Han.

Liu Che planned to experiment with the colonial policy of Jinban, Mahan, and other countries on the Korean Peninsula to see if the policy he had made up in his mind was feasible by combining the advanced experience of Britain, France, Spain, and other colonial powers.

If it's possible, that's fine, and if there's a problem, it's fine.

At the same time, it can also take this opportunity to train a group of future colonial officials.

As for Mahan Zhenban and other countries, it is not appropriate to forcibly annex them at present, and it is also morally untenable.

Although morality is scum for the country, there are still some things that cannot be done too blatantly.

Moreover, in the case of the Sinicization Cheng dù of countries such as Zhenfan and Ma Han, sooner or later they will take the initiative to attach it. (To be continued......)
