The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 659

"Form the Western Military Region."

Chen Ziming's final decision was to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​chasing and suppressing Cao Pi. Now that the big man doesn't have enough food and grass to support a big battle, if he wants to attack Cao Pi, he must send at least one legion.

However, the environment in the southwestern region is harsh, the transportation is inconvenient, and the expedition of the army is full of difficulties. Now the big Han is using troops to the Western Regions, and Pang De and Gao Lan are about to start conquering Funan, and they all need a lot of food and grass.

More importantly, the migration of millions of people to the three states in the west required not only a lot of money, but also a lot of food and grass. After all, they had just passed away, and there would be no harvest for a year or so. The food needed to be provided by the court.

The big man is indeed very rich now, and there is a lot of food, which can support the migration of millions of people and has reached the limit. There is really no more food and grass to support a conquest, and Cao Pi can only live for a while.

As for Cao Pi's tail, is it possible? It's better than Cao Cao being wiped out. If Cao Pi's juniors can make any troubles, let him explore the way for the big man. After the big man's parties are stable, he will slowly deal with him.

"The scope of the Western Military Region is the five states in the west. While ensuring that the big man controls the five states in the west, the defense line will slowly move westward until it reaches the Himalayas." Chen Ziming pointed to the newly named Himalayas and drew a large circle.

After discussing with Liu Bei, Chen Ziming decided to ignore Cao Pi for the time being, and wait until the war in Funan and the Western Regions is over, or wait until the five western states are completely in control. The big man needs time to digest these territories.

"The dark guard sent the situation of Funan."

Chen Ziming came to discuss with Liu Bei with the information he had just obtained.

"Oh." When Liu Bei heard this, he became excited. He had already ordered the secret guards to collect information about Funan, and now it finally came to fruition.

Chen Ziming smiled and said: "The founder of Funan was named Queen Liuye, and she married a gangster. Now the king is a gangster, the prince is a gangster, and [-] mercenaries are divided into each side. The leader is Fan Man. It belongs to the state of Chenla, with [-] soldiers, obeying Funan's dispatch, if it attacks Funan, Chenla will definitely send troops to help."

After hearing this, Liu Bei was silent for a while and said, "That is to say, in addition to Funan, there is also Chenla in the south, which are parallel to the east and west. If you attack one country, the other country will be saved..."

"Pass the edict." After Liu Bei thought for a while, he ordered: "Order Gao Lan to attack Chenla, Pang De to attack Funan, and give them three months..."

"Order the navy to go south, cooperate with Pang De to attack Funan..."

Now the navy is exploring the Hainan Islands. The terrain of Hainan is complicated and there are many hidden reefs. Similarly, there are many islands. With the exploration of the navy, a huge group of islands appeared on the territory of Dahan and is constantly extending outward.

According to the memory of Chen Ziming's later generations, Funan is probably the southernmost region in East Asia, including a part of Vietnam, a part of Thailand, and a part of Malaysia in later generations. Further south, I am afraid that it is Southeast Asia separated by the sea.

The big Han occupied Funan, and the development of the south would probably be at a stage. After all, Southeast Asia was separated by sea. Even with a powerful navy, it was still difficult to completely control Southeast Asia with the technology of this era.

Only wait for the big Han to control all the southern regions and develop them, then slowly infiltrate Southeast Asia. It should still be barren. After the big Han population reaches a certain number, then consider the matter of occupation.

Chen Ziming's goal is to draw the entire East Asia, North Asia, and Southeast Asia within the territory of the Great Han, so that there will be no enemies or obstacles to the east of the Great Han, and let the Great Han face the vast Pacific Ocean.

As for Central Asia and West Asia, it is a bit unrealistic to occupy them all. The cultural differences are too great, and the skin color is also very different, and they have their own ancient inheritance and beliefs. , On the contrary, the big man was dragged down by the constant rebellion.

Southeast Asia is better, it is almost blank, it is like picking up for nothing, what the big man has to pay is just a difficult adventure and facing the dangerous nature.

What troubles the rapid growth of the Han Dynasty now is the population problem. The migration of the five western states is already the bottom line of the Han Dynasty. In a short period of time, the Han Dynasty has been unable to move the population outward.

Not being able to relocate the population means not being able to fully control those places. What's the point of not being able to fully control those places after occupation. What Chen Ziming wants is not short-term expansion, but complete occupation and integration.

As soon as Chen Ziming walked out of Liu Bei's temporary palace, he met Meng Guang who was full of excitement. When Meng Guang saw Chen Ziming, he strode up to Chen Ziming, gasped heavily, calmed down his beating heart, and looked at him with burning eyes. With Chen Ziming.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"

Chen Ziming was full of doubts, wondering if Meng Guang had a second child, so excited.

"Prime Minister..." Meng Guang panted heavily and said excitedly, "Potato... Potato..."

"Mature...?" Chen Ziming heard the word "potato" and then looked at Meng Guang's expression, and he probably guessed the reason why Meng Guang came here.

"Yes." Meng Guang said excitedly, "It should be familiar..."

Now Meng Guang is a little uncertain, because how big the potatoes are to be considered ripe, and Meng Guang doesn't know, but they are not small now.

"Walk."

Excited Chen Ziming pulled Meng Guang into the carriage and headed for the plantation.

"Please look, Prime Minister." Meng Guang placed a bunch of potatoes that had just been dug up in front of Chen Ziming. Chen Ziming's eyes lit up, and there were four or five potatoes on a vine. They were of different sizes, and the largest one was bigger than an egg lock up.

"it is good!"

Chen Ziming looked up at a potato field, and became more and more excited. The potatoes had really been planted, and the problem that had been troubling the big man would be completely solved.

"Harvest again after a period of time, and then try planting again to expand the scale..."

"We also set up trial planting fields in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and sent people to take care of them carefully, carefully record them, and study the best planting methods..."

With the seeds, the next step is to promote and expand production. As far as Chen Ziming knows, the land has very low requirements for the growing environment, and it can even grow in the desert. It is simply tailor-made food for the northern land.

Chen Ziming knew that with this fetish, the problem of controlling the grassland would be completely solved. The land could grow in the grassland, and the yield was scary. It was not comparable to wheat, and no irrigation was needed.

With this potato, the people of the grassland no longer need to be nomadic for a living. In this way, the grassland can be better managed until they are completely integrated into the big man.

What is the most grassland, grass?No, land, endless land, land without a fixed source of water, land perfect for growing land.
