The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 585 Nansha
In the end, Chen Ziming succeeded in persuading Liu Bei, and with the support of Guo Jia and others, he decided to send envoys to the Northern Huns. The purpose was to persuade the Northern Huns not to mess with the big men, not to return to the grassland, and to continue to be their overlord in Europe.

Of course, persuading them not to come back is one of them, and the other is to establish a trade route with the Northern Huns. On this trade route, big men exchange sharp weapons for gold and silver. Although Europe is not strong now, there are many good things. More gold, silver and jewelry.

The most important thing is that Chen Ziming wants to collect some things through the Xiongnu who swept across Europe. Many food varieties are imported from Europe, but it is a bit powerless for the hidden guards to collect them, but the Huns will be different. As long as Europe has Yes, these Huns can get it.

Chen Ziming is not afraid of raising tigers, no matter how strong the Huns are, they cannot threaten the powerful Han, and there are big problems in the ruling system of the Huns, and there are great flaws in the barbaric Huns ruling system.

The biggest one is the issue of heirs. Once an accident occurs to the King of the Huns, the entire Xiongnu will be disintegrated in an instant, and civil strife will continue, which will be an opportunity for others to take advantage of.

Barbarians without historical inheritance will never last long, but then again, according to historical records, the ancestors of the Xiongnu were descendants of the Xia Dynasty, and they can be regarded as Chinese people. Let them make the last contribution to the rise of China.

With the support of Liu Bei and Chen Ziming, a mission was quickly established. The candidate for the mission was recommended by Xu Shu, his good friend Shi Tao-Shi Guangyuan.

Speaking of Shi Tao, I have to mention a few of his good friends. Xu Shu was the first to join Liu Bei. Now he is in a high position and has won Liu Bei's trust and reuse. His reputation has long been spread throughout the world.

The other is Meng Jian-Meng Gongwei, who became famous in the first battle in Liangzhou and became famous all over the world. Now he is the second in command of civil servants in Liangzhou, second only to Tian Feng, the top counselor, and he can be regarded as a party member.

Cui Jun-Cui Zhouping made great contributions in governing Yizhou, and now he is the head of Yizhou's civil servants, governing one side independently, and his status is not lower than that of Meng Jianlai.

However, as their good friend, Shi Tao, who is also a great talent, is still unknown today. He is just a county magistrate in Jizhou, and he can't get on the stage at all. The main reason is that he has no chance to show himself.

Xu Sheng was guarding the northern states, and his main enemy was the alien race in the grassland, but the alien race in the grassland had been scared by Chen Ziming for a long time.

Xu Shu felt that with Shi Tao's talent, being a small county magistrate was a bit buried, and he guarded the north all the year round, had a lot of contact with the grassland aliens, and had unique insights into the grassland aliens, so when Liu Bei asked for candidates, Xu Shu thought of his friends Shi Tao.

After Xu Shu's nomination, Chen Ziming remembered that there was still such a great talent under Liu Bei who had not been employed, so he readily agreed and quickly sent Shi Tao back to Linzi.

Shi Tao had mentioned the purpose of calling him back this time in Xu Shu's letter, and he came here on the spur of the moment. He had the confidence to complete such a task.

After investigation by Chen Ziming and others, they felt that Shi Tao was indeed qualified for this envoy, so they sent Shi Tao to the Northern Huns far away from the Tianshan Mountains.

After Shi Tao set off with a large number of entourage and samples traded with the Northern Huns, another order came out. After receiving the order, Zhao Yun, guarding Liangzhou, dispatched [-] elite troops to Guohuang. Chen Ziming was fully prepared. The Xiongnu negotiations failed, and the northern Huns insisted on returning to the grassland, so Chen Ziming would definitely wipe them out in the Mobei area, and these ten thousand soldiers and horses were the vanguard.

Once things changed, the soldiers and horses guarding Liangzhou, Di tribe, and Beidi were all transferred to Guohuang to participate in the battle of the Northern Huns, and quickly defeated the invading enemy with absolute superiority.

Of course, if the peace talks between Shi Tao and the Northern Xiongnu were successful, Chen Ziming, the ten thousand soldiers, was not going to be transferred back. The vast territory of the Western Regions had not yet been guarded by the Han army. Since it was the territory of the Han, how could they be left alone.

As for the issue of food and grass for the [-]-strong army, if it was in the past, it would have been very difficult, but now, the easiest thing is to hand over this task to merchants in Liangzhou or Yizhou, and the military department will buy from them. They are responsible for the delivery to the destination.

Don't underestimate them, as long as the profit is high enough, the long distance can't be hard for them. They have a lot of ways, and there are also caravans in Liangzhou and other places that travel with the Western Regions, especially with the support of the Han Dynasty, such caravans have been in recent years. More and more, more and more huge.

The imperial court of the Han Dynasty encouraged foreign trade, and transported the goods that the Han Dynasty had in excess to other countries in exchange for a large amount of money and rare things from the Han Dynasty. The silk, porcelain, glass products, tea, rice paper, etc. of the Han Dynasty were very common in the Han Dynasty, but it was very common for people from outside the Han Dynasty. It is simply a luxury.

The farther these things are from the big man, the more valuable they are, so it is logical that many big clans and big merchants began to organize huge caravans, starting with the Silk Road.

As countless caravans came out of Dahan and went around the West, they brought back not only a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but also Dahan's understanding of the world. The situation of the countries in the west was gradually collected by Dahan.

Of course, corresponding control is indispensable. It is impossible for weapons and food to flow out of the big man casually, and various advanced technologies and advanced machines are strictly controlled.

The most important thing is that the dark guards of the big men are everywhere. In every caravan, chances are there are dark guards. In addition to following the caravan to collect information, they also have the task of monitoring the caravan, in case the caravan Some of them betrayed the technology of the big man, colluded with foreigners, etc.

Many ministers in the DPRK and China opposed the opening of trade routes and trade with foreign countries. What they worried about was that the good things of the big man would be revealed, which would in turn pose a threat to the big man.

This kind of worry does exist, but in Chen Ziming's view, it is completely unnecessary. Human progress will not stop, it's just the difference between fast and slow. As long as the big man keeps walking in front, no one can threaten the big man.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, this is the southern sea chart sent by the Fourth Fleet of the Han Dynasty." Gan Ning came to see Liu Bei with a roll of sea charts, his face full of excitement.

"Southern sea map!" Chen Ziming was overjoyed. He had ordered the navy to investigate the southern sea area and draw a southern sea map, and now the result finally came.

"Development quickly!" Liu Bei also came to the spirit. Since the mining of offshore minerals has brought Liu Bei huge income, Liu Bei has become more and more interested in offshore expansion.

Soon, a vast sea map slowly unfolded. It was the Nansha Islands that Chen Ziming was quite familiar with. However, this map was still very different from the Nansha Islands in his memory. The deviation was large and the number of islands was also small. Many, Chen Ziming feels, the navy has not fully explored the Nansha Islands.
