The carriage continued to move forward, at this time, the road became more and more narrow and rugged, sitting in the carriage, Liu De was also turned his head and was almost dizzy, Chen Ajiao was even more unbearable, holding Liu De's neck tightly, her little face was pale, and she almost vomited.

There was no way, Liu De could only get out of the car with her and walk through this section of the culvert.

"Is this the Mountain?" When Liu De got out of the car, he saw that he looked up at the cliffs, the pines and cypresses that grew on the cliffs covered the sky and the sun, and the lush leaves blocked most of the sunlight, making the mountain road shady, and even making people feel a little cold.

Next to the road ahead, a stone monument stands, and the word 'Kunshan' is inscribed on the stone monument.

"Yes, Childe, this is Kunshan, where Mu Gong's hegemony failed!" Ji Di looked at the stone tablet and sighed with emotion.

More than 400 years ago, the hegemony of the Qin State under the rule of Qin Mugong was first established, and the princes of the world were threatened.

In the twenty-fifth year of King Xiang of Zhou, Mu Gong wanted to destroy Zheng, sent three generals, three hundred times, to attack Zheng Guo, but unfortunately was frightened back by Zheng State merchant Xuan Gao with a strategy to reward the army, when the Qin division returned, he was ambushed by the Jin army in Kunshan, and the whole army was destroyed, and Qin Mugong's hegemony has since collapsed.

Liu De looked up at the cliffs on both sides of the valley and the lush primeval forest, nodded and said, "This is indeed a good place for ambushes, and the Qin army is not unjustly defeated!" ”

Zhi Du was on the side, and suddenly said: "Now I can't repeat the story of the Battle of Kunshan anymore......"

Liu De nodded.

Indeed, more than 400 years have passed, and the methods of warfare have long since changed.

Chariot warfare has been swept into the dustbin of history, replaced by nimble and light cavalry groups and well-defended infantry groups. Again, like the Jin army in the Battle of Kunshan, use the road to paralyze and delay the enemy's chariots, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the strong with the weak. It's no longer possible.

Now, cavalry only needs a quarter of an hour to get through guò, which would have taken at least two or three hours to get through four hundred years ago.

Liu De looked at this mountain danger, and he suddenly thought of something.

Later, Liu Che moved east to Hangu Pass, which may not be the reason for Yang Fu, Yang Fu was just a small Lou Boat general, and he couldn't even catch up with Wei Qing and Huo Quai's hair. How can He De say that Liu Che can move east to Hangu Pass?

Bigger reasons. It may be that times are advancing, and the way of war has changed dramatically.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, car warfare was the mainstream, so. The rugged roads and steep terrain of Hangu Pass naturally hindered the chariots. make it ineffective.

But now, who cares about the chariots?

The Han family has already eliminated outdated car battles among the county soldiers.

Cavalry became the main force in the war.

For the cavalry, the current Hangu Pass, no longer like the past chariots can only go through the mountain road in the Hangu Pass, the cavalry is really not good, you can give up the mountain road, through the dense forest, over the Qinling Mountains. Appears unexpectedly behind the enemy's flank.

And with the art of war evolving day by day, the former is indestructible. Hangu Pass, which will never fall, can no longer play its role more than 400 years ago.

Liu De even felt that if there was a bold person who gave up attacking Hangu Pass and crossed the Qinling Mountains with light horses, he could ignore the obstacles of Hangu Pass, enter the pass directly, and march to Chang'an City

"Zhiqing ......" Liu De looked at the stone tablet of Kunshan Mountain, and suddenly asked: "You say, what if the imperial court moves Hangu Pass three hundred miles east to Xin'an County?" ”

Zhi Du felt that he couldn't keep up with Liu De's train of thought, and he was still talking about the battle of Kunshan and talking about the past and the present, according to the normal way of thinking, shouldn't he express his opinion on the collapse of Mu Gong's hegemony?

Liu De jumped to the migration Hangu Pass all of a sudden.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhi Du was also stunned.

Hangu Kanto moved three hundred miles east to Xin'an?

Although Xin'an has no danger to defend, the road is open, but the Hangu Pass moves three hundred miles eastward, which is equivalent to doubling the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, for the emperor of the Han family, Guanzhong is the fundamental, and the territory of Guanzhong has expanded, and the fundamental land has also expanded.

In terms of politics, the eastward move of Hangu Kanto is really desirable!

It's just that militarily, the eastward shift of Hanya Pass is undoubtedly a failure!

In any case, once Hangu Guandong moves, Guanzhong will lose its barrier, and if something happens in the future, Chang'an will have no danger to defend!

"Then what is the barrier in the pass?" Zhidu asked: "Once the princes of Guandong have something, but there is no danger to defend in Guanzhong, how can the temple be peaceful?" ”

Liu De laughed and did not answer.

As a traverser, if you don't know the famous Tongguan, it would be really a waste!

"When I ascend the throne, I will move east to Hangu Pass, and then set up Tongguan in the pass, and the town key pass!" Liu De thought in his heart, this idea is good, the Tongguan in later generations, which is known as a one-man pass, is well adapted to the needs of war in the new era, and can effectively prevent cavalry raids, as the gate and barrier of Guanzhong.

And the eastward movement of Hangu Guanzhong will immediately expand the territory of Guanzhong, which is not only conducive to strengthening centralized power and expanding the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, but more importantly, this is a political achievement!

Since ancient times, which emperor has been able to reap political achievements as soon as he came to power?

Don't think that the emperor doesn't need political achievements.

For the emperor, the more political achievements, the more stable the rule, the stronger the authority, on the contrary, the emperor with too little or no political achievements, will be weak, and even controlled by the powerful ministers.

For example, Emperor Hui didn't know how to brush up on his political achievements, and was reprimanded by Cao Shen like a three-year-old child.

"Let's go......" Liu De waved his hand, hugged Chen Ajiao, and walked forward under the protection of several guards.

Half an hour later, Liu De, who was tired and out of breath, finally climbed out of Kunshan Mountain, Hangu Pass, and appeared in front of them.

When he arrived at Hangu Pass, as a scholar of the Huang Lao School, Ji Di inevitably proposed to visit the spiritual holy place of the Huang Lao School-Wangqitai.

Liu De naturally readily agreed.

The master ran to see the rooster crow.

Liu De took the rest of the people and wandered around Hangu Pass, looked here and there, and visited the places of interest in the pass. By the way, water and food were replenished, so that the horses could be recuperated and the vehicles could be overhauled.

That same evening. The group found a quiet and elegant house to rest in Hangu Pass - Youzhi is here, this is a trivial matter, and the identity of Zhonglang General allows him to mobilize all the resources of Hangu Pass.

The next day, Liu De and his entourage, who had finished resting, continued to go on the road, and after leaving the customs, the road became wider again.

Follow the straight road of Qin Shi Huang's southern tour. All the way forward, after crossing Hongnong County, the Taotao Yellow River appeared in front of Liu De's eyes.

At this time, the Yellow River was very intact because of the soil and water conservation in the upper reaches. The Hetao area is lush with vegetation and has not experienced the aeolian desertification of later generations, so the water quality is crystal clear. At this time. The Yellow River is not called the Yellow River, but the world calls it a big river.

"Your Highness, there is Caoyang Pavilion in front, and since Caoyang Pavilion crossed the river, it is the territory of Hedong County!" Zhi Du came over to report and instruct: "In Hedong County, there is a record of bandits haunting, and this generation has done all kinds of evil, please be more careful!" The ministers will also be vigilant! ”

Liu De nodded. The bandits at this time were not the thieves who fought petty in the Celestial Empire in the later generations.

That's a real robber who kills people and sets fires, and robs houses!

Anyone who has watched the Water Margin will not forget it. One hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan, before going up the mountain, the heroes who opened a human meat bun shop and a chaos shop!

Although the bandits in this world are not as exaggerated as Liangshan, human trafficking, kidnapping and ransom are common.

"There is Lao Qing's family!" Liu De nodded.

Although it is unlikely that those bandits will have the ability to impact the heavily guarded Liu De's convoy, they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid that if the scandal of the dignified son being held hostage by the bandits comes out, it will really be a shame to be thrown to grandma's house!

When they arrived at Caoyang Pavilion, a large warship was already on standby in front of the dock.

This is a relatively common building ship at this time, about three floors, several feet high, can carry hundreds of soldiers, is a common warship in the big rivers and the Yangtze River, usually used for patrols and troop transportation.

However, with the increase in the risk of Wu Chu's rebellion, the Han family's building ship was also relatively improved, and the ship began to be equipped with weapons for water warfare.

For example, the warship that came to pick up Liu De was loaded with crossbows and spear machines used in water warfare, and a female wall was set up to protect the enemy's attacks.

Chen Ajiao saw this kind of huge and magnificent artificial warship for the first time, and she was very curious, and as soon as she got on the boat, she ran around non-stop, and even wanted to climb the sail on the top of the ship.

Liu De hurriedly took this little girl closely, and ordered someone to take her back to the cabin and not let her out, but he himself stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the magnificent river and the boat at his feet, and his heart was full of reverie.

The shipbuilding of the Han family was very developed and scientific.

The big ship at your feet is proof of that.

Farther afield, Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls to the sea in search of immortals, and later generations say that Xu Fu eventually arrived in Japan, and later Japan even had a commemorative site for Xu Fu's eastward crossing.

It's hard to know whether this is true or not.

But, in any case, this shows that the shipbuilding industry at this time could build ocean-going ships.

Liu De remembered that the shipyard under the command of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, even built a jaw-dropping super ship that could carry dozens of carriages at a time.

In the later period of the Wu Chu Rebellion, Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, even had plans to flee to sea.

This qiē illustrates a fact to Liu De - the current Han shipbuilding technology and ships are capable of carrying out ocean-going voyages over a certain distance.

Later, Liu Che attacked South Vietnam and Minyue, and used a huge fleet of sailors and ships, and even fought naval battles with the sailors of South Vietnam.

Thinking of this, Liu De's cheeks began to get excited.

The Han family did not need to sail or explore the unknown world far from the coastline.

As long as a certain level and scale of offshore fishing fleet can be developed, it is enough to give birth to a technological revolution and change under the feudal social system.

The sea is a treasure house given by God to mankind, and the fishery resources in the ocean are simply an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver at this time.

Liu De feels that now basically as long as someone dares to go to sea for large-scale fishing, as long as the luck is not too bad, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

And if the resources of this treasure trove can be put in the hands of the government, then it is equivalent to opening up a new source of revenue.

Not to mention, with the development of offshore resources, the development of maritime and marine technology will inevitably be born.

"As long as I become the emperor, these are all things that can be done......" Facing the strong wind, Liu De thought in his heart.

As a traverser, if you don't develop and use the resources of the ocean, you are a fool!

Of course, in order to do this, it is necessary to select a group of talents who understand the sea.

"Ming Chengzu can have Zheng He, who has been to the West seven times, why can't I have a general who can lead people around fishing and whaling?" (To be continued......)

PS: Well, I think it may be YY to want to sail in the Western Han Dynasty, but if it is only active in the near sea, it is not too much of a problem.

Especially in China, basically whatever the emperor wants to do, he can do it successfully.

Qin Shi Huang's construction of the Great Wall, Yang Guang's digging of the Grand Canal, etc., are all clear proofs.

By the way, I apologize to everyone, today's update is a little late, the main thing is that my wife is currently playing with a child's temper, cough cough, you know!

Well, there will be an update later, maybe 1 more, maybe 2 more ~ it depends on the situation ~
