Liu Heng is no longer the elegant scholar he once was.
The long beard he grew made him look extremely majestic, with a resolute look and firm eyes. Even Zhao Shi, who was complaining about his behavior just now, did not dare to look at him and moved unnaturally under his gaze.
When he opened his eyes, he didn't look as thin as before. He was broad and majestic.
After seeing Liu Chang, his eyes softened a lot.
"His Majesty."
"Fourth brother!!!"
Liu Chang happily walked to Liu Heng's side and took his hand. Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes and felt a hint of displeasure in his heart.
Liu Heng frowned, "When Your Majesty wanted to personally conquer the body poisoning, I wrote a letter against it. I didn't want Your Majesty to put himself in danger, but now His Majesty has returned by sea. The danger of the sea route is far higher than that of the land route. Is this what your Majesty really means?
Do you despise the world? The world cannot last forever!"
Faced with his brother's reprimand, Liu Chang was not afraid and just patted his chest.
"I have destiny, why should I be afraid of it?"
"The crusade against Shendu this time was a great success. I fought all the way to the Butte Kingdom. Even the Daxia people's army was defeated by me. Shendu was completely defeated. I no longer dare to resist!"
Liu You said in a low voice: "This guy really wants to be your lieutenant. If you think he is not bad, why not just keep him to be your lieutenant? I am a kind-hearted boy."
Naigong is so strong!
Of course, although the nominal territory is large, the actual control area is much smaller than the territory. The Han Dynasty cannot actually control many areas. The distance is too far, so it can only be governed by vassal states, or in the form of nominal ownership.
But Liu Chang is not worried. Once Chen Tao and others get the steam train out, these nominal territories will become actual control territories!
When Liu Heng explained his territory, Zhao Tuo's face turned even darker.
Liu Chang stayed in Changsha for a few more days, and finally took the Youzi with him and left Changsha.
The soldier looked at the Wuguan in front of him and nodded, "Your Majesty, it has indeed been transformed. Although the original Wuguan was majestic, it was not as majestic as it is now. Now this Wuguan can be called the most dangerous pass in the world."
"Father!!"
Liu Chang nodded approvingly, "I heard in the past that the King of South Vietnam only knew how to fight and not govern the country. Now it seems that this statement is not correct."
After hearing these words, Xia Wuqie felt a lot more at ease.
When Liu Chang entered the checkpoint, the soldiers hurriedly came to see him.
Liu Chang was stunned. As soon as Nai Gong left, you started building checkpoints around Chang'an? What the hell do you mean?
Liu Chang led the people and continued walking forward. Finally, when he approached Chang'an, everyone came to greet him.
"This medical office has just been established and the specific matters have not been completed yet. How can you leave at this time?"
Combining the inspiration from his dream, he suddenly discovered that the fourth brother had expanded his territory to an incredible extent.
After that, there are the ministers of the DPRK. Zhang Cang and others are all well.
Liu Chang pointed to Chang'an City in the distance and was suddenly stunned.
"Father!"
I can't run away this time. I can only hope that His Majesty will let me go because I am busy with business.
"My father always talks about you. Why didn't you let us send troops when you went to Shendu this time? I wrote a letter asking to join your army, but they said they only wanted to recruit doctors. I said I could be a doctor, but they didn't agree.
He kicked me out."
Officials from various places came out to greet him one after another, and news flew to Chang'an like snowflakes.
Liu Heng shook his head gently. Liu Chang's work style was completely opposite to his. Liu Heng always insisted on being steady in everything he did. Unless he broke his guard, he would always be as steady as an old dog. Whether he was running the country or going on an expedition, he would always be as steady as an old dog.
The first thing he considers is the consequences of failure, but Liu Chang is different. He does things erratically. While there are huge benefits, they are often accompanied by huge dangers. Liu Heng does not agree with Liu Chang's style.
, but there was no way to persuade him to change.
Liu Heng never even glanced at Zhao Tuo, and used his words to say directly: "It's not that the King of Nanyue lacks talents, it's just that the country of South Vietnam is vast, and the King of Nanyue is old and lacks energy. At this age, the King of Nanyue still does everything himself.
, I love my ministers very much, and I don’t want to burden the ministers sent by the temple. It is really shameful. I respect you very much."
Several children surrounded Liu Chang excitedly. Liu Chang looked at Liu An. Liu An had completely lost his original childishness. In Liu Chang's absence, he also completed his transformation and his whole person became
He is more stable and dignified. At first glance, he actually looks a bit like the fourth brother. Liu Chang's face gradually showed relief. He boldly handed over state affairs to Liu An this time, just to let him take on the responsibility of being a big man on his own and further hone his skills.
He now seems to have achieved his goal.
Liu Heng took out the map and carefully explained the islands they had discovered. Liu Chang fell into deep thought as he listened.
Liu Chang didn't know that in another timeline, Liu Piqiang, who had a good reputation, succeeded his brother's throne and received a reluctant posthumous title of King Zhao Wen.
Liu Chang said seriously.
"Is this what Wuguan is like?? Why does it feel a little wrong??"
Xia Wuji took a deep breath, feeling a little desperate.
The other young masters also hurriedly paid their respects.
Caravans line up here to be interrogated.
Several people entered the city, and Zhao Tuo immediately held a banquet to entertain them all.
He first discovered the treasure island, explored the Indochina Peninsula, and occupied the future Singapore. Zhou Shengzhi's fleet passed through the Strait of Malacca, and the Wu people discovered the Malay-Indonesian Islands on the opposite side from Singapore. They even began to circle the islands.
Exploring, the latest news is that another large island has been discovered. And Liu Chang could see clearly that it seemed to be the Philippines. The entire Southeast Asia was divided up by the three vassal states of the Han Dynasty. Liu Chang secretly thought about the current situation of the Han Dynasty.
Territory, he couldn't even calculate how big his territory was.
Liu Sui was as thin as his father, and his sickly look made Liu Chang worried.
Looking at these children, Liu Chang had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. He just nodded silently.
The two brothers chatted enthusiastically, and Liu Chang told many anecdotes about body poisoning.
Liu Chang patted Liu An's shoulder gently, "Shuzi, you did a good job. You will keep Chang safe while I'm away."
Xia Wuqie's face was pale and his eyes were filled with fear.
Liu An said calmly: "My father came back by sea."
From now on, the state affairs can be left directly to Liu An, and he can go out to play and inspect the public sentiment.
Your Majesty is using graffiti to harm people again!
He looked at the next victim with pity.
Liu Chang laughed, stretched out his hand, and grabbed someone with one hand, "The King of Nanyue has rich experience, is familiar with the place, and is deeply respected by the people there. The King of Wu has extraordinary talents and good policies and good governance, making the place prosperous and the people rich in the south of the Han Dynasty."
With two people in charge, what else can I worry about?"
Liu Chang left here and went directly to the Kingdom of Changsha to meet his sixth brother Liu You.
Ten years ago, Liu Chang set up shipyards in various places, summoned famous shipbuilders to shoot and build brand-new ships. The coastal princes also followed suit, among which Wu State achieved the best results. They developed
There were many new ships. After making a huge breakthrough in the shipbuilding industry, Wu State began to explore the outside world. This was not something ordinary people could do. It required extremely strong logistics and unswerving goals. King Wu obviously had such conditions.
Liu An looked at him seriously and said, "Please don't worry. My father is not so fussy."
The second son, Liu Piqiang, was different. He looked quite tall, taller than his father and brother. He had a ruddy complexion and was powerful. At this moment, he was looking at Liu Chang excitedly, with a smile on his face.
Liu Heng was the first prince to discover the benefits of sea trade, and he was also the first to send a fleet to explore. The princes and kings who have just begun to react now are several steps behind him. Just because of the quality of the ships,
The two sides are not on the same level. Wu State did not keep its own design plans secretly. Instead, it generously gave them to various princes and encouraged them to go to sea together. Liu Heng wanted to create a prosperous maritime trade circle. He hoped that there would be more
The princes can participate, but no matter how good the design is, if the craftsmen are not good enough, the quality of the ship will still not be very good. And the best craftsmen in the south are all in Wu State, and others can't dig them out even if they want to.
Liu Chang left here with satisfaction. It seemed that matters at sea did not require him to spend much thought at all. Liu Heng could solve them by himself.
"Father!!"
Liu An said halfway, but found that he didn't even believe what he said, so he changed his tone again, "My father will not make it difficult for you. The affairs of the medical office are the most important. My father is also very concerned about this matter. He
Knowing that you are handling this matter, I will never make things difficult for you. Besides, there is my father here. If you want to ask questions, I will also excuse you. You can't hide from your father all your life, right?? Do you think you will do it in the future?
Aren’t you going back to Chang’an?”
At this moment, the eyes of the entire south are on those islands, and the ocean has obviously become a new battlefield for the princes and kings of the south.
"This guy is planning to rebel???"
Logically speaking, children from aristocratic families are usually taller because they do not suffer from hunger, but Liu You always looks like he is malnourished.
Liu Chang squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Do you want to know?"
The two kings quickly lowered their heads, "Wei."
Jiaozhi is now an important port city in South Vietnam, and it is also the bridgehead for their expansion to the south. Zhao Tuo has spent a lot of effort to manage it over the years. Although the land route is quite inconvenient, the increasingly developed maritime trade has given way to
There has been improvement here. Of course, the county seat is not as good as the Central Plains area, but at least it has the appearance of a Dahan county seat and has everything you need.
Maybe His Majesty will be so anxious to beat His Highness when he comes back that he won't bother to beat himself up.
During these days when His Majesty was away, His Majesty has come up with a lot of things, which will definitely make His Majesty jump to the point of anger.
At this moment, Liu Chang looked at the majestic checkpoint in front of him and looked at the soldiers beside him suspiciously.
Looking at their number, Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no decrease.
Liu You obviously liked this second son more than his eldest son. Unlike his father, his second son was enthusiastic, eloquent, and charming. He also cared about the people very much and often went around to help poor families.
He also assisted Guan Ying in formulating policies. In the new generation clan, there are not many capable people, and this guy is the only one. Listening to Liu You's explanation, Liu Chang looked at Youzi with approval.
Liu Chang stayed in the south for a while, mainly to check the situation in various places, meet with the ministers here, and also check the status of their ships.
There was a thorn in Zhao Tuo's words.
Zhao Tuo's complexion improved a lot, but Zhou Shengzhi on the side shook his head.
The leader is of course Liu An, Liu Bo, Liu Ci, Liu Liang and others standing beside him.
Liu Bo looks a lot stronger. Although he is not as exaggerated as Liu Chang, he still stands out among several young men. Liu Ci and Liu Liang have also changed from babies to teenagers, and they actually look somewhat handsome.
, Although Liu Chang hadn’t seen each other for a long time, he could still tell who they were at a glance.
"What?! His Majesty is coming?!"
Liu Chang asked about the situation of the checkpoints, and the general hurriedly replied: "Your Highness sent people to expand Wuguan and Tongguan, and built checkpoints at strategic locations in Chang'an. He sent troops to guard them."
Among the Liu Changzhu brothers, Liu You is the most easily overlooked. This is related to his personality. Liu You's personality is not like Liu Ying and Liu Bo. He is more like Liu Liang, taciturn and a bit autistic.
He doesn't like to deal with others, but of course, he is very happy to see Liu Chang. Liu You is the smallest among the brothers. He has been like this since he was a child, thin and short, and he can't be found in a crowd.
When he stood in front of Liu Chang, he looked even smaller. He couldn't even reach Liu Chang's shoulders when he stretched out his hand.
"Overseas is a huge treasure house with countless resources that can be benefited by the entire Han Dynasty. As kings, your eyes should not just be on this peninsula, but should be consistent with the outside world. Cooperate more, and the ships of both sides should take care of each other and explore the overseas together.
, there are enough things to make you rich at the same time. When I took the sea route this time, I heard someone say that you fight with each other, and when ships meet, you are as wary of each other as if you were encountering enemies. What's more, you actually don't let each other's
Ships entering their own ports”
They returned to Jiaozhi County together.
Faced with Liu An's questioning, Xia Wuji was speechless.
What else can be done?
Xia Wuji couldn't sit still. "Your Highness, I heard that there are still some problems with the medical clinic in Xiting Kingdom. I am going to go to Xiting Kingdom to have a look."
Liu Piqiang complained endlessly, and Liu Chang laughed.
He sent people to explore several times, but the other party always got there first and did not get any benefits.
Through many voyages, he investigated the surrounding situation and occupied many islands.
Zhao Tuo said calmly: "I have been in the south for decades and know all the places well. Although I have no ability to govern the country, I can achieve some results if I govern it carefully. Of course, it is still not as good as King Wu. King Wu worked hard to govern."
, to rule the country of Wu, even this enclave is managed properly. Compared with the King of Wu, I really don’t know how to govern the country."
What he said was even more serious. He directly said that Zhao Tuo was using the ministers sent by the temple to make his own decisions.
"Father Zhong!!!"
They did not take the road to Tongguan, but to Wuguan.
"If this happens again, I will tie you to the bow of the boat and swim around in public!!"
Zhao Shi reacted suddenly and shook his head hastily, "I am old and weak."
It was the right time to let Fourth Brother come here. He really brought prosperity to the entire south. With one person, he managed the development work to the extreme. It is not surprising to say that this man is
For someone who directly led the big men to run wildly, it was a bit humiliating to let him govern one-third of the big men. However, compared with the situation in history where he was restricted everywhere, had a serious lack of money, and had internal and external troubles, the fourth brother lived a very good life.
Shu Tan, with a large amount of capital investment from the temple behind him, and no strong enemies around him, can perfectly display all his talents.
Liu Chang's face was full of helplessness. At first, he felt that none of the princes and kings in the country could suppress Zhao Tuo, so he changed the fiefdom and asked the fourth brother to come here to suppress Zhao Tuo. At first, Liu Chang thought that Zhao Tuo was old, and so on.
The fourth brother was accustomed to the local conditions and could take over. Zhao Tuo had almost left, but now it seems that Zhao Tuo is still alive and kicking, and the fight between the two does not look like it is going to end at all.
Liu Chang happily expressed his support and recognition to his fourth brother and rewarded him with several sets of Chinese clothes. He looked at Zhao Tuo aside and whispered: "Don't worry, I will tell you a route from Wu to Wu."
If you go all the way south from the archipelagos discovered by the country, you can find a big island. The land of that big island is larger than the entire Wu Kingdom, several times larger, and ah. There are countless various mines on it, and there are many rare ones.
Animals, I guarantee you’ve never heard of them”
"I will draw a map for you later, and you can send someone to explore it! There will definitely be something to gain!"
Only Zhao Shi asked: "The bow of my Nanyue Kingdom's ship is pointed, how can I tie it up?"
Today's Han Dynasty seems to have expanded to a very terrifying level. The Yan Kingdom captured the Korean Peninsula, sent generals to manage the Japanese islands, and completely integrated the north into the Northeast. The Xia Kingdom occupied the vast grassland, the entire northern grassland and the barren land above them.
Strictly speaking, these lands are the territory of the Xia Kingdom. The Xiting Kingdom has expanded its power to several major Stans and can directly communicate with Butte (Afghanistan). The border area between the Peacock Kingdom and the Xiting Kingdom is the Han Dynasty.
Granted province (Punjab).
When Liu Chang came to his senses, he couldn't help but touch his chin.
"The ships of South Vietnam and the ships of Wu are all ships of my Han Dynasty."
"Why did he come back from the south?"
Liu An smiled again and said: "Besides, since my father left, so many things have happened to the big man. He doesn't even know that he has become the big father. Don't worry, he doesn't care about you at all."
Liu Heng began to report on the results achieved by Wu State in the recent past.
Liu An greeted him respectfully.
His two sons are both taller than him, the eldest son Liu Sui and the second son Liu Piqiang.
Liu Chang did not stop any longer and headed rapidly in the direction of Chang'an.
After completing the script of reviving the Wu Kingdom, he started a new script of conquering Southeast Asia without stopping.
