Jiangdong Army's refusal to surrender by Lin Yiguo and other barbarian rebels also caused the fighting atmosphere that had temporarily eased to become tense again.

Barbarians such as Linyi State and Jiaozhi County, as well as foreign tribes such as Luzon, have joined forces to prepare for the Jiangdong Army's attack.

They also understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth!

Jiangdong Army has top-notch advisers such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su. There are also powerful generals such as Sun Ce, Huang Gai, and Gan Ning. In addition, more than 100,000 Jiangdong troops were watching eagerly.

With the multiple increases in ability bonuses, Jiang Dongjun's personal power is very powerful. What's more, their overall strength cannot be underestimated.

Under this premise, Jiangdong Army advanced by land and water and directly attacked Jiuzhen County.

In terms of land warfare, after just one confrontation, the rebels were defeated and retreated to Rinan County, which is Linyi State.

In terms of water warfare, Luzon was also known as the unruly soldier of later generations. Even though he had sent warships to help, he was unable to fight against the Jiangdong Navy.

The final result was that Lin Yi State was directly crushed by Jiangdong's army, and the rebels could only flee toward Funan and other countries in the west.

After losing Rinan County decades ago, Jiaozhou finally returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty. Really unify the entire Jiaozhou area.

Until this time, Zhou Yu finally ordered all his troops to rest and recharge their batteries.

After fighting one after another, even if they have the bonus of abilities, they are still a little exhausted. Moreover, all generals need to be switched to defense.

Replace the soldiers within the Jiangdong Army with the troops fighting on the front line.

This move not only allowed the soldiers on the front line who were engaged in successive battles to retreat and recuperate, but also allowed the soldiers in the rear of Jiangdong to get actual combat training.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

When Jiangdong Army changed defenses, it also sent this good news back to the capital.

Liu Chen already knew it through the system prompts.

However, when Guo Jiaxunyu and others presented the news, he still pretended to be surprised.

There are actually some surprises.

According to the speed of Jiangdong Army, in time, not only Jiaozhou will become the territory of the Han Dynasty, but even the Fuyu Kingdom and other places beside it will also fall under the control of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chen knew these places, such as Jian simple village, Yue Nan and other places in later generations. This place belongs to the tropics and food is available three seasons a year.

If you think about the tropical rainforest nearby, you will know that the environment in this place is warm and the land is fertile.

Of course, it is still not fully developed today, which also means that miasma and disease are rampant.

But Liu Chen believed that with the added ability of the soldiers and today's technological level, they would be able to fully develop and construct places such as the Golden Triangle.

If this area is opened up, the Golden Triangle can be used as a springboard in the future to attack other countries from the Indian Ocean via waterways.

Just as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were immersed in the good news of Jiangdong, time came to February unknowingly.

The imperial examination is about to begin.

Those scholars who passed the provincial examination have also arrived in the capital one after another.

The examination needs to be held in the capital.

Scholars from the more remote areas of Yunnan and Guizhou set off directly after the rural examination.

Even with the birth of Liu Chen in this life, road transportation and water transportation are very convenient.

But for the scholars in the Yizhou mountainous area, it was still difficult to cross thousands of miles to reach the capital of Jizhou.

Some accidents happened on the way, illness, headache, brain fever, etc. delayed the journey, so they had to leave early.

But fortunately, Liu Chen dug and opened the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in this life. Scholars in the Yizhou mountainous area only need to leave Yizhou and can transport by water, go south from the Yangtze River to near Wujun, and then transfer to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal route. Go north.

For the successful scholars to participate in the examination, all transportation expenses on these roads were borne by the imperial court.

That is to say, there is a public boat transfer. , but the route of the public ship is relatively fixed, and it does not stop at the port for too long.

Therefore, scholars who have some spare money usually choose to travel by themselves, travel around the mountains and rivers with their friends, stop and go, and then head towards the capital all the way.

For example, Zhuge Liang and other scholars from Nanyang, Jingzhou, went to the capital in this way.

When we got closer to the capital, we could see the majestic city wall from a distance.

Even Zhuge Liang and other well-informed scholars were amazed by it!

They were not shocked by the tall city walls of the capital, but by the speed of transformation of the capital!

The capital is located in the Yuan clan of Changshan in Jizhou.

Although Liu Chen was the king of Changshan at the beginning, he developed and constructed in Changshan and built the base camp into a monolithic one.

But Changshan's city walls and other facilities were only renovated after Liu Chen ascended the throne as emperor.

This situation was only four or five years old, and the capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an were slightly behind.

Wangshan is a dead horse.

Zhuge Liang and other friends saw it from a distance and thought the capital was close at hand, but it still took more than an hour to finally reach the city gate.

Today's Changshan Capital City, after many expansions, has long exceeded its original scope and includes surrounding villages.

There are four lines of defense in the entire capital, respectively guarding the outer city, inner city, imperial city, and palace of the capital.

In other words, if you want to invade the palace of the capital and capture Han Emperor Liu Chen alive, you need to pass four heavily defended checkpoints.

Zhuge Liang and other friends looked up at the city wall. It was at least ten meters high and could be called the most majestic city in the world.

Generally speaking, the height of the city walls in the capital is only about five or six meters. Even in important capitals such as Luoyang and Chang'an, the height is only seven or eight meters.

"Since the advent of such magical things as cement, the speed of construction has become faster and faster, and the adhesion is much stronger than that of the three combined soils of the past. Pang

Tong looked up and down the city wall and marveled.

Many scholars around him also nodded and praised. After queuing for a long time, they finally entered the capital after numerous inspections. At this glance, they could only be described as blooming flowers. It was enough to make people happy.

There were eight carriages running side by side on the cement road, with rows of houses on both sides, and dense crowds of people.

After they walked all the way to the market, they saw a sea of ​​people, and it was very lively.

This was just the outer city, most of the They are all ordinary people living here. There are no wealthy and powerful families here. You can already feel the happy atmosphere of living and working in peace and contentment. You can see it from the inside.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said:

"If we had not opened up overseas trade and restarted the Silk Road, with His Majesty's speed of development and construction, the country would have soon fallen into the dilemma of being unable to make ends meet."

It's no wonder that even Zhuge Liang lamented that Liu Chen's stride was too big.

It is not true that there were no such emperors in the original history. In the end, they often broke their eggs because of their too much stride, which led to the destruction of the country and the family.

But Liu Chen did not agree at all. Pay attention to this possibility.

His soldiers have a six-fold increase in ability, and his country's food production has also increased six-fold.

Coupled with sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other artifacts, the Han Dynasty has truly achieved the point where there is no starvation in the world.

And those The development of science and technology, in addition to domestic trade, also involves external exports.

These allow Liu Chen to have enough capital and foundation to fully display his ambitions, allowing the Han Dynasty to lead the world in scientific and technological development for hundreds and thousands of years.

"People make money and spend money, and the country develops and builds. This is actually a virtuous circle. Pang

Tong smiled, changed the subject and said:"If I can take the high school examination, I don't know whether I will be allowed to work in politics, or I will stay in the capital and become a prime minister in the future.""

"No matter what, as long as I am at the top, I believe that Your Majesty will not treat me badly."

"After all, this is the first imperial examination, so I am still a little worried about the unknown arrangements. We can be considered as experimenting in advance for those who come after us."

"Hahaha……"

After everyone changed the topic, Zhuge Liang also put away his emotions and joined in the chat with his friends.

A few Jingzhou Nanyang scholars strolled around for a while and then headed towards the inner city.

The imperial examination was held in the inner city. Although there were still more than ten days left, they still needed to rent a house, become familiar with the examination venue, and adapt to the capital.
