To be honest, the royal hunting ground in Shanglinyuan is really not much fun in winter.
The entire hunting ground was almost completely silent, and except for deer, there was almost no other prey to be seen.
But then again, even if it wasn't winter, there wouldn't be much fun in this hunting ground.
The war between man and nature has always been about man advancing and nature retreating. Shanglin Garden is a large place, but after fifty years of development, all the beasts in this garden have been driven away.
The remaining ones are either wild boars and rabbits with strong survival ability, or deer that have economic value and are protected and cared for.
others……
In recent years, even migrating birds have rarely flown over Shanglinyuan...
As a result, the Shaofu now needs to go to other places to shoot birds such as wild geese to meet the needs of the royal family and various yamen.
Now, if you want to see tigers, leopards, wolves and other beasts in Shanglinyuan, it is not impossible.
The Shaofu specially built animal pens in several places in Shanglin Garden and kept many jackals, tigers and leopards as a zoo for the emperor's entertainment.
Sometimes there are even good shows of duels between humans and animals.
Don't think that only ancient Rome had gladiatorial arenas.
In fact, thrilling sports like human-animal confrontation have always been the favorite of human nobles in the classical world.
Historical records and Han books record many relevant clips of emperors observing duel performances between humans and animals.
For example, the Han Dynasty records that Emperor Yuan was once frightened by an out-of-control black bear and wet his pants.
The Han Dynasty has always had a tradition that courtiers or ministers who offended the royal family would be thrown into the animal pen to fight.
Liu Che once witnessed Empress Dowager Dou going into a rage and throwing Yuan Gusheng into a wild boar pen.
However, Liu Che has not felt much about these things so far.
If you can't hunt wolves, tigers and leopards in Shanglin Garden, then you can't hunt them!
It’s not like I’ve never seen it before!
Even for future generations of cute and stupid national treasures like Gungun, Liu Che could catch ten or eight of them and raise them as mascots at any time if he wanted to.
What about animal protectionism? Even before time travel, Liu Che didn't catch a cold very much. What's more, in an era where creatures are infinitely diverse, even tigers and leopards are pests and need to be cleaned up from time to time to avoid endangering the safety of people's lives?
Anyway, before the industrialization of human society, the impact of humans on nature was just that.
The total damage caused may not be as much as the impact of a small glacier.
However, Liang Wang Liu Wu was quite concerned about this kind of thing.
"Pa!" Liu Wu drew his bow, aimed at a wild deer that was grazing, shot it down, then put down the crossbow, and said to Liu Che with some regret: "Your Majesty, everything in Chang'an is good, but there is no such thing as Shanglinyuan.
It’s a pity that tigers and leopards can be hunted..."
Liu Che glanced at the imperial uncle from the corner of his eyes and shook his head inwardly.
That’s what happened to the Han clan!
Before, there were outstanding figures like King Chu Yuan and King Chu Yi who knew how to be considerate of the people and live frugally.
King Wu Liu Bi would also be such a person if he had not rebelled.
But after Liu Bi's death, the Han clan really became a concentration camp for cheating.
How do later generations evaluate the thirteen kings of Jing in history: Lu Gongguanshi, Jiangdu Qing, Zhao Jingxian, Zhongshan Yin, Changsha lonely, Guangchuan silent, Jiaodong dim, Changshan proud. The unique sacrifices of the Four Kingdoms, He
He was a wise man, practiced rituals and music well, and became a hero of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che couldn't help but touch his chin, feeling deeply that he was indeed destined for destiny!
If those funny brothers were to take the stage, they would probably be even worse than Piggy!
As for the clan, it seems that only Liu Ci is reliable now.
But for Liu Ci's next generation, Liu Che was a bit embarrassed...
Another professional orthopedic patient…
Therefore, Liu Wu can be regarded as the best general among the dwarfs, the one who stands out among the clan...
It’s just that this level and vision are just that!
After becoming emperor, Liu Che's vision became much higher.
If you look at the problem from different angles, your conclusions will naturally be different.
Liu Wu was just a vassal king, he didn't need to care about the people of the world or the people of the country, as long as he was happy.
Therefore, a lot of money and resources can be used to support hundreds or even thousands of literati and poets who may appear to be high-class on the surface, but in fact, apart from poetry and poetry, they have not contributed a dime to the country, society and nation.
He could even disregard the life and death of the people and imitate Chang'an, encircling hundreds of miles of land on the outskirts of Suiyang as his personal enclosure, raising and grazing various beasts for him to hunt and kill.
Even now, for the sake of his second son, Liu Wu was able to spend more than half of Liang's treasury savings and mobilize countless manpower and material resources to operate Liu Ming's North Korean feudal state.
For this reason, he even sent Han Anguo and Liang Yu to Chang'an, and half of his military power was handed over to the court.
But Liu Che couldn't.
The longer he was emperor, the more Liu Che felt that he was racing against time.
The latest alliance between Han and Huns has indeed released many constraints on the Han Dynasty, but it has also released many constraints on the Huns.
The war between the Han and the Xiongnu lasted for decades. Wasn't it just that the Han Dynasty was afraid of the Xiongnu attack?
The Huns were also on tenterhooks, fearing that the Han army would go out to retaliate.
The Han army deployed on the front line of the Great Wall numbered two to three hundred thousand and was well-trained. Relying on the Great Wall to go out, it was enough to sweep across the entire eastern region of the Xiongnu Empire.
For this reason, the Huns not only established the Left and Right Xian Kings, the Left and Right Guli Kings, the Left and Right Dadahu system, and implemented the double-headed eagle policy during the period of Laoshang Chanyu.
In addition to invading and harassing the Han Dynasty, the Youxian kings of the past dynasties also had the significance of gathering heavy troops in the east to alert and intimidate the Han Dynasty.
After all, as long as hundreds of thousands of troops are on the border of Chen Ge and the Xiongnu Chan Yuting is not stupid, they will definitely leave a corresponding force in the east to defend themselves in order to avoid being exploded.
In other words, the latest alliance and marriage liberated the Han Dynasty and also liberated the Xiongnu.
Maybe in the next two years, the Huns will still be wary and not be too lax. They will still keep elite tribes like Aries and Loufan in the east to deal with and monitor the Han Dynasty.
But as the peace continued, when the Huns discovered that the Han Dynasty would indeed not take the initiative to attack but would focus on unification.
The Xiongnu Shan Yuting was very likely to transfer tribes like Aries and Loufan who were originally deployed in the Hetao area to guard and monitor the Han Dynasty to the west.
How terrifying would it be to have a Hun Empire that was heading west with all its strength and didn’t have to worry about its chrysanthemums being exploded?
Just look at the Huns who were driven to Europe by the Han army in history.
The whip of God made the entire Western world tremble, and no grass grew where Attila's saber passed.
When a unified Huns Empire launched a war of conquest in the west, Liu Che was really worried that the countries in the Western Regions would not be able to support him in solving domestic problems and would cause trouble to the Huns.
And when that time comes, how terrifying will it be if there are all the Xiongnu from the Western Regions? Liu Che cannot estimate!
Not to mention other things, if the Huns took control of Dawan's bloody horses, the culture and knowledge of the local Greeks, as well as their technology and craftsmen, Wusun's horses and warriors, and Yarkand's plantations, what would happen to the Huns?
Even if it’s an upgrade from second-level technology to third-level technology.
What is even more terrifying is not that the Huns occupied the Western Region, but that after they occupied the Western Region, they discovered that their mortal enemies, the Yuezhi people, were actually on the Amu Darya River.
With the character of the Huns, they will definitely go to the Amu Darya River to eradicate the weeds. But when the Yuezhi people see the Huns, they are like mice who will run away when they see a cat!
Once the Amu Darya fell into the hands of the Huns, the gateway to India and West Asia was opened.
Once the Huns reached into India, it would be a huge disaster for the Han nation.
Think about it!
When the Han Dynasty was fighting with the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Chanyu shouted with his sword: Even if the last Indian dies, the Huns will never surrender!
This future is too scary!
Such a terrifying future made Liu Che understand that he must compete with the Huns.
Before the Huns occupy and rule the entire Western Region and eliminate all resistance, the Han Dynasty must first climb the technology tree, straighten out the country, and unify the four seas!
