The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 680
If it was a big man in the past, he was really stuck by the Guishuang Empire, and if he wanted to trade with the Sasanian Dynasty, he might have to detour to the north.

But it is different now, the southern peninsula was taken by the Han, and the Bay of the Han was already the bathhouse of the Han Navy. Chen Ziming remembered that the Sasanian Dynasty was close to the sea, not far from the Baicheng Dynasty.

The Baicheng Dynasty is the India of later generations, so things will be simple in the future. If a big man wants to go to the Sasanian Dynasty, it will save a lot of time by sea than by land, and it is much more convenient.

"Send people to negotiate with the people of the Sassanid Kingdom. We will ship the weapons to them. We will sell them as much as they want, but the price will increase by two levels..." Chen Ziming smiled slightly. There are too many, and if it is stored any longer, it will rust and take revenge.

Moreover, it is impossible for the Sasanian Dynasty to eat all the weapons. This is a million-level weapon. If the Sassanian Dynasty really had a million-strong army, not to mention the Guishuang Empire, I am afraid that even the Roman Empire would not be able to stop them.

Chen Ziming didn't know how many troops there were in the Sasanian Dynasty, but he knew that there were actually not many soldiers in the Roman Empire in history, at least not at the same level as China's.

Besides, what business is the most profitable, of course, is the arms trade. The big man has the technology to build weapons, so of course he has to use it to make money. Not afraid of anything.

Chen Ziming has decided to build a large arsenal on the southern coast, the main purpose is to forge weapons for all countries in the world, as long as there is money, the big man will have weapons.

Of course, Chen Ziming is not so kind. He wants to use the method of sending weapons to the world to destroy the weapon technology of all countries in the world, make them give up the research and development of weapons, and use money to buy the weapons of the big man.

Think about it, all countries in the world conquer each other. If you don’t have weapons, you come to the big man to buy them. If you don’t have money, you go to rob them.

Of course, Dahan doesn’t just collect money. For example, iron ore, coal mines and other mineral resources are collected, and they only need to collect these mineral resources, transport them to the seaside, and Dahan himself will transport them back. That's it.

Chen Ziming thought that if he really reached that point, the big man might really be able to control the war in the whole world. With countless money, he could control the trade of the entire sea, and the resources of the whole world would serve the big man.

"Maybe something should happen with Rome..."

Chen Ziming knew that the Roman Empire embraced both sides of the Mediterranean Sea. That is to say, the Roman Empire must have very high navigation technology. Even if there is no big Han powerful now, when the fleet of the Big Han appears in the waters of the Roman Empire, it may be the Roman Empire. When developing the navy.

Chen Ziming didn't want the Roman Empire, or European countries to enter the age of great voyages so soon, and the only way to prevent them from crossing the sea was to destroy the seeds of their voyages.

Not only the Roman Empire, but also other countries in the world cannot have the ability to sail on the sea in a short period of time. During this period, maritime trade must be the monopoly of the big man.

After making a decision, Chen Ziming came up with a series of schemes in his head, and began to calculate the huge Roman Empire.

"Brother, the Guishuang Empire cannot be defeated for the time being."

Chen Ziming found Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to give up the idea of ​​dealing with the Guishuang Empire. The big man has no intention of attacking the Guishuang Empire, so the Guishuang Empire cannot fall into the hands of others.

At least the Guishuang Empire must not fall into the hands of the Sasanian Dynasty, otherwise the big Han will directly face the powerful Sasanian Dynasty. If there is a conflict with the Sasanian Dynasty, it will not be something that tens of thousands of soldiers can solve.

"It's cheaper for them." After listening to Chen Ziming's plan, Liu Bei nodded slightly. Although he was a bit unwilling, but for the sake of the big man, he could only temporarily let the Guishuang Empire go.

Chen Ziming smiled and said: "That can't be so cheap for them. The Guishuang Empire has been passed down for hundreds of years and has countless gold and silver..."

Chen Ziming and Liu Bei reached an agreement that if the Guishuang Empire wanted to buy weapons, they would exchange them with gold, silver, cattle, horses and sheep, and the price was much higher than that of other countries. It will completely cut off trade with the Guishuang Empire.

Afterwards, Chen Ziming called for the Huns' envoy and said, "Go back and tell you Shanyu that the big man wants to open a trade route to the west, but the big man is not familiar with the countries in the west, so he is not very relieved, so."

"Chen Ziming said coldly: "So, as long as you Shanyu can ensure the smooth flow of the commercial road, the commercial tax on the North Commercial Road can be collected by your Xiongnu, and the goods of the big man can be sold to your Xiongnu first. . . . . . . "

The Xiongnu envoy's eyes lit up when he heard it. Of course he understood what Chen Ziming meant. The big man wanted to open the Beishang Road, and the Xiongnu was on the Beishang Road, so as long as the Xiongnu had the ability, the Huns would have a share of the profits from the Beishang Road.

What the Xiongnu had to do was very simple, to fight, the more territory they conquered, the more they got, and according to Chen Ziming, as long as the Xiongnu ensured the smooth flow of the northern trade road, then weapons and food would not be a problem.

The northern Xiongnu are inferior to everything, except for the Hun warriors and horses, they have to rely on looting for everything. Now the big man is willing to give them sophisticated weapons and food, and they just need to lay down more territory.

The envoy of the Northern Huns rushed back excitedly with the sincerity of the big man, and he wanted to tell their king the good news.

At the same time, the envoys of the Sasanian Dynasty also agreed with Chen Ziming's opinion that money is not a problem, as long as the weapons are sent to their homeland, and the sooner the better.

After reaching an agreement with the Sasanian Dynasty, Chen Ziming immediately ordered the construction of a trading port in the southern peninsula and a large arsenal at the same time.

After learning that the big man used sea ships to transport weapons, the envoys of the Sasanian Dynasty wanted to go back to the country together by sea ships. How could Chen Ziming agree to this request? The sea is still mysterious to the countries in the west. Chen Ziming thinks that the sea should continue to remain mysterious. as well.

At the same time, more laws were promulgated, all of which were to ensure the secrets of the sea. For example, no private maritime trade with western countries was allowed, sea ships were not allowed to dock on the shores of western countries without permission, and charts and navigation lines were not allowed to fall into the hands of others.

Not to mention that the sea ships of the Han Dynasty should not be lost to other countries, and no sea ships should be built or provided with corresponding technologies for any country. People from other countries are not allowed to board the sea ships of the Han Dynasty without the consent of the Han court.

All maritime trade with countries in the west must be supervised by the navy, and any violations of the regulations will be punished as treason.
