Section 490 Competition
To be honest, the royal hunting grounds in Shanglin Yuan are really not much fun in winter.
The entire hunting ground was almost silent, and there was hardly any prey to be seen except for the deer.
But then again, even if it's not winter, there's nothing fun about this hunting ground.
The war between man and nature has always been a natural retreat of man, and the place of Shanglin Yuan is big, but it has been developed for 50 years, and all the fierce beasts in this garden have been driven away.
The rest are either resilient wild boars and rabbits, or economically valuable, protected and cared for deer.
Other......
In recent years, even migratory birds have stopped flying over Shanglinyuan......
So much so that Shaofu now needs to go to other places to shoot birds such as geese to meet the needs of the royal family and various yamen.
Now, if you want to see tigers, leopards, wolves and other fierce beasts in Shanglin Yuan, it's not impossible.
Shaofu specially established animal pens in several places in Shanglin Yuan, and raised many jackals, tigers and leopards in captivity as a zoo for the emperor's fun.
Sometimes, there is even a good show of a duel between man and beast.
Don't think that only ancient Rome had gladiatorial arenas.
In fact, the tense and exciting movement of man and beast against each other has always been the favorite of the human aristocracy in the classical world.
Historical records and Han books record many fragments of the emperor's observation of the duel between man and beast.
For example, the Book of Han records that Emperor Yuan was once frightened by an out-of-control black bear and peed his pants.
And the Han family has always had a tradition, and courtiers or courtiers who annoyed the royal family would be thrown into the animal pen to fight.
Liu Che had witnessed the Empress Dowager Dou going crazy and throwing Yuan Gusheng into the wild boar pen.
However, these things have not touched Liu Che much so far.
If you can't hunt jackals, tigers and leopards in Shanglinyuan, you can't hunt them!
It's not like I haven't seen it!
Even this cute and stupid national treasure of later generations. Liu Che now can catch ten or eight of them in captivity at any time as long as he wants.
Animal protectionism or something. Even before the crossing, Liu Che didn't have a cold very much. What's more, in an era where creatures are infinitely diverse, and even tigers and leopards are pests, which need to be cleaned up from time to time to avoid endangering the safety of the people's lives?
Anyway, before the industrialization of human society, the impact of human beings on nature was just that.
The damage caused may not add up to the impact of a single Xiaoice River.
However, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is quite concerned about this kind of thing.
"Smack!" Liu Wu pulled out his bow. Aiming at a wild deer that was grazing, shoot it down, then put down the bow and crossbow, and said to Liu Che with some regret: "Your Majesty, everything is good in Chang'an, it's just that there are no tigers and leopards to hunt in this forest garden, it's a pity......"
Liu Che glanced at this imperial uncle from the corner of his eyes, and shook his head in his heart.
That's it for the clan of the Han family!
Before, there was also King Chu Yuan. A person like King Chuyi knows how to be sympathetic to the people and cut down on food and clothing.
If Liu Bi, the king of Wu, did not rebel, he would also belong to such a person.
But after Liu Bi's death. This Han clan has really become a concentration camp for fun.
In history, the thirteen kings of Jing, how do later generations evaluate it: Lu Gong Pavilion, Jiang Duqing, Zhao Jingxian, Zhongshan Lewd, Changsha Lonely, Guangchuan Silent, Jiaodong is not bright, and Changshan is arrogant. Extinction in Shikoku. The river is wise, and the etiquette is repair. For Han Zongying.
Liu Che couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling that he was really destined to be!
Just those funny brothers. If he comes to power, he may be worse than a pig!
As for the clan, it seems that only Liu Ci is reliable.
But Liu Ci's next generation, Liu Che covered his face a little......
Another professional orthopedic patient......
Therefore, Liu Wu can be regarded as a short general, and he belongs to the outstanding one in the clan......
It's just that this level and vision are just the same thing!
After becoming the emperor, Liu Che's vision has also risen a lot.
If you look at the problem from a different angle, you will naturally come to a different conclusion.
Liu Wu is just a prince and a king, and he doesn't need to care about the people in the world, as long as he is happy.
Therefore, you can use a lot of money and resources to support hundreds or thousands of literati who seem to be lofty on the surface, but in fact, in addition to poetry and songs, they have not contributed a dime to the country, society and nation.
He can even ignore the life and death of the people, imitate Chang'an, and circle hundreds of miles of land in the suburbs of Suiyang as his personal forbidden belly, raising and grazing all kinds of fierce beasts for him to hunt.
Even now, for the sake of his second son, Liu Wuneng took out more than half of the savings of the Liang State treasury and mobilized countless manpower and material resources to operate for Liu Ming's Korean feudalism.
For this reason, he even sent Han Anguo and Liang Yu to Chang'an, and half of the military power was also given to the imperial court.
But Liu Che can't.
The longer he became emperor, the more Liu Che felt that he was in a race against time.
The latest alliance between Han and Hungary has certainly untied many shackles for the Han family, but it has also untied the shackles for the Huns.
The war between the Han and the Xiongnu for decades was not just that the Han family was afraid of the Xiongnu attack?
The Huns were also not without fear, fearing that the Han army would retaliate.
The Han army deployed on the front line of the Great Wall, as many as two or three hundred thousand, and well-trained, relying on the Great Wall to go out of the fortress, is enough to sweep the entire eastern region of the Xiongnu Empire.
For this reason, the Huns not only set up the left and right Xian Wang, the left and right Gu Li Wang, and the left and right big household system in the period of Lao Shangdanyu, but also implemented the double-headed eagle policy.
In addition to invading and harassing the Han Dynasty, the right sages of the past dynasties did not have the significance of gathering heavy troops in the east to be vigilant and deter the Han family.
After all, hundreds of thousands of troops on the border of Chen Ge, and the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting, as long as their brains are not stupid, will inevitably leave a corresponding force in the east to guard against it, so as to avoid being blown up by the chrysanthemum.
In other words, the latest alliance and peace between the two liberated the Han dynasty and the Xiongnu.
Maybe in the next year or two, the Huns will still be afraid and will not be too lax, and will still keep elite tribes such as Aries and Lou Fu in the east to deal with and monitor the Han family.
But as peace continued, when the Huns found out, the Han dynasty would indeed not take the initiative to attack but focus on unification.
It is very likely that the Xiongnu alone will transfer tribes such as Bai Yang and Lou Fu, who were originally deployed in the Hetao area to guard and monitor the Han Dynasty, to the west.
How terrible is a Hun Empire that goes all out to the west and doesn't have to worry about the chrysanthemum being blown up?
Just look at the Huns who were driven to Europa by the Han army in history.
The whip of God made the entire Western world tremble, and Attila's saber passed through nothing.
And a unified Xiongnu empire launched a war of conquest to the west, Liu Che was really worried that the countries of the Western Regions would not be able to support him to solve domestic problems and go to the Xiongnu for trouble.
And at that time, how terrible will it be to have all the Xiongnu in the Western Regions? It's not something that Liu Che can estimate!
Not to mention anything else, Dawan's sweat and blood horses and the culture and knowledge of the local Greeks, as well as the technology and craftsmen that have been preserved, the war horses and warriors of Wusun, and the plantations of Shache, if these are mastered by the Huns, then the Hun Empire will be upgraded from two to three.
And what is even more terrifying is not that the Huns occupied the Western Regions, but that after they occupied the Western Regions, they found that their sworn enemies, the Yueshi people, were actually in the Amu Darya.
With the character of the Huns, they will definitely go to the Amu Darya River to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the Yueshi people will definitely run away when they see the Huns, just like a mouse seeing a cat!
As soon as the Amu Darya fell into the hands of the Huns, the gateway to India and West Asia was opened.
Once the Huns put their hand into India, it would be a great disaster for the Han people.
Think about it!
When the Han and the Xiongnu were at war, the Xiongnu Shan Yu held his sword and shouted: Even if the last Indian is killed, the Huns will never give in!
Such a future is terrible!
Such a terrible future made Liu Che understand that he had to compete with the Huns.
Before the Huns occupied and ruled the entire Western Regions and eliminated a qiē resistance force, the Han family must first climb the science and technology tree, straighten out the whole country, and unify the four seas!
And Liu Wu, the king of Liang, has become the key to this qiē. (To be continued......)
