The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 687 The North
Everyone remained silent. The alien races in the northern grasslands have always been the heart disease of the Central Plains. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, the alien races in the northern grasslands have never stopped. Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to completely eliminate the threat of the northern alien races to the final.

However, it is useless, as long as the Central Plains is weak, the northern aliens will surely come to plunder, and if the Central Plains is strong, they will flee far away.

"The weather is getting colder. I'm afraid that many people from the grassland alien race will freeze to death. In the spring of the coming year, I'm afraid they will come back and plunder the border areas. Let the northern soldiers and horses be careful." Liu Ye has been guarding the north for a long time, and he is very familiar with the habits of the grassland alien race. .

"They don't dare." Chen Ziming shook his head and said, "The northern Xiongnu dare not invade the frontier even if the Han is strong and powerful, let alone the mere Southern Xiongnu. But we can't let them grow, we should take this opportunity to completely eliminate these hidden dangers."

When the time was right, Chen Ziming decided to completely resolve the grassland issue. Now there was no one who could hold back the big man's attacking pace, it just depended on whether the big man was willing to attack or not.

The Baicheng Dynasty and the Guishuang Empire are not qualified to challenge the big man. If the big man has too many choices and has better goals, the Guishuang Empire and the Baicheng Dynasty can block the expansion of the big man.

"Let's wait until next year's spring." Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile. He thought it would be difficult to become the emperor of the ages, but now, there are no rivals around the big man, and the powerful Guishuang Empire is not on the same level as the big man.

The grassland aliens that have plagued countless generations of emperors dare not approach the border of the Han Dynasty at all. Any big Han can destroy the grassland aliens at any time. Invincible is really too lonely.

Liu Bei didn't even know if he would have the chance to personally lead the army in this life. He heard that there was a more powerful empire in the west, a powerful country no less than the Han.

Chen Ziming's mentality is different from Liu Bei's. Chen Ziming's pursuit is not invincibility, but to lay a solid foundation for the great man and gain the opportunity for the long-term prosperity of the great man.

If Chen Ziming wants to fight for world hegemony, his current strength is completely enough. He can lead the big men to sweep across Asia and Europe, learn from Alexander and Genghis Khan, and fight invincible all over the world.

But what's the point of this? It's just a legend. It doesn't help the big man's future. It's better to concentrate on laying the foundation and let the world tremble in front of the big man.

"The Government Administration reported that the expenditures in various fields were too large and the finances were tight. If you want to increase the tax rate, especially the commercial tax, you should increase it by one level or two." Guo Jia released a big bomb, and once again silenced everyone.

Everyone knows that Dahan's financial expenditure is very large, and it's not that they haven't thought about raising the tax rate, but in this way, the impact is too great, and it has a great impact on Dahan's vigorous development.

"No." Chen Ziming resolutely objected: "Raising the tax rate rashly may cause panic and discourage the enthusiasm of businessmen, which is not conducive to the development of Dahan's business."

The final result of the discussion is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, strengthen commercial publicity, strengthen policy guidance, relax factory construction requirements, etc., and provide technical support.

Anyway, just one sentence, as long as you have money, ambition, and want to make money, the imperial court will support it.

As for throttling, we can only promote thrift and oppose waste. Dahan is building in an all-round way. Whether it is local infrastructure construction or military campaigns, the money needed cannot be reduced, but continuous investment is required.

This is also the reason why the big man can't let go and fight the Guishuang Empire and the Baicheng Dynasty. Once the war starts, it is not something that can be solved by a hundred thousand soldiers, let alone a few months.

Whether it is the Guishuang Empire or the Baicheng Dynasty, they are countries with a long history and profound heritage. Once there is a war to destroy the country with the big man, they will definitely go all out. At that time, even if the big man defeats these two countries, he will not feel good.

A country with its own cultural heritage is not so easy to destroy.

The third year of the Han Dynasty passed quickly. Compared with destroying the Great Wei and winning the southern coast, Chen Ziming was more concerned about winning a large area of ​​the sea, and even controlling important islands like Adi Island.

The area of ​​Adi Island is not smaller than that of Taiwan, and now it is a state that has been transformed into a Dahan, named Nanhan Prefecture, occupying Nanhan Prefecture, which means that the entire Dahan Bay has become the inland sea of ​​Dahan, which contains countless islands.

The good news is that after several months of exploration, Dahan finally opened the sea route from Dahan to the Sasanian Dynasty, with the transfer in Namhan Prefecture, this sea route is very safe for Dahan.

The first batch of weapons was officially transported by sea to the Sasanian Dynasty, which also means that the Han Dynasty entered the era of maritime trade.

In order to better conduct maritime trade with the Han Dynasty, the Sasanian Dynasty established three huge ports according to the standards of the Han Dynasty, which belonged to three important areas of the Sasanian Dynasty.

The Sassanian Dynasty also had its own navy, but similar to the Baicheng Dynasty, it was still exploring the sea, and sea ships sailed in the near sea at most, which was far from the level of exploring the sea like the Han Dynasty.

Ardashir is very ambitious. In addition to growing the infantry, he also proposed to buy warships from the big man, and even wanted to buy the shipbuilding technology of the big man, and wanted to build a navy like the big man.

It's a pity that Chen Ziming had already expected this point. The big man didn't want a competitor to appear at this time, and of course he couldn't agree to this request.

However, it is clear that Ardashir is not a person who gives up easily. According to the news sent back by the hidden guards, the Sasanian Dynasty began to study warship technology and intends to develop sea power.

Chen Ziming smiled slightly and let him go. Warships are not so easy to research. The big man has Chen Ziming as a prophet, and he has spent countless time and money and accumulated countless experiences to have the current big Han navy.

However, Chen Ziming did not take it lightly, and ordered merchant ships not to go to the Sasanian Dynasty privately, and not to mention any technology about seagoing ship construction with the Sasanian Dynasty.

However, the Sassanian Dynasty is the continuation of the Persian Empire after all, with a profound foundation. If Ardashir spares no effort to invest, it is not impossible to establish the Sassanian Navy.

In this regard, Chen Ziming also said that it doesn't matter, the big Han has the upper hand, and when the Sasanian navy is established, he will find that the southern seas are full of the flags of the big Han, and the Sassanian can only be trapped in the near sea area.

At the end of the third year of the Han Dynasty, while the territory of the Han Dynasty was expanded, its own development did not fall behind. Various factories began to appear in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and caravans kept coming and going, and the Han Dynasty was thriving.

"According to the secret report from the secret guard, the secret talks between the Guishuang Empire and the Baicheng Dynasty failed, and the alliance between the two countries broke down.

Chen Ziming knew that it was not that the Guishuang Empire did not want to fight anymore, but that it was unable to fight any more. With the rise of the Sasanian Dynasty, the pressure on the Guishuang Empire increased.
