Chapter 460 The Age of Adults Has Changed

Fu Su's beautiful brows were furrowed for a while, she looked at Bai Su with a serious expression, and couldn't help asking: "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Rest in peace with Rome..."

Bai Su tapped his fingers on the table lightly. He was just a little surprised by the sudden news, but not too surprised.

According to the original historical progress, with the development of trade on the Silk Road, four empires would be born along the way.

They are the Central Plains, Guishuang, Anxi, and Rome. These four empires control the east, middle, and west end of the Silk Road.

To put it simply, the original financial maintenance method of these four empires was that the Central Plains served as the source of trade to export tea, silk and other world hard currencies.

Guishuang, Anxi as a middleman, after the Central Plains merchants came to the local area, they doubled the sales to Rome in exchange for higher profits.

And Rome, through war, plundered slaves, gold, and silver everywhere, and used these things to buy commercial goods from the Central Plains through the hands of rest, and flow gold and silver all the way to the east.

Anxi, and Guishuang rely on being a middleman to make the difference between the two ends, and the situation is flourishing for a while.

Between the Central Plains and Anxi, there is Guishuang, and there is no direct threat from the two sides. No matter how strong the Central Plains is, Anxi is not worried at all.

Coupled with the need for Central Plains merchants to make money, Anxi's attitude towards Central Plains envoys under such circumstances can be described as very friendly.

But it's different now.

Da Yuezhi, which originally established Guishuang, was annexed by Daxia early on.

The soldiers and horses of Daxia went all the way to the west along the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and occupied Bactria and the Maurya Dynasty.

Even, the place where Han Xin stationed his troops directly bordered on the Anxi border.

This is where something goes wrong.

To the west of the Parthian Empire is the newly-emerged Rome, and to the east is the country of tigers and wolves, which has defeated an army of more than [-] in just a few months.

They were caught in the middle. Once Great Xia and Rome signed a non-aggression treaty in private, they would rest in a buffer zone and be easily attacked by two fronts, and then the country would perish.

In order to prevent this situation from happening, Anxi will definitely find a way to unite the weak against the strong, and form an alliance with Rome to target Daxia together.

It is best to expel the forces of Great Xia from the area around Bactria.

After all, it took only a few months for Daxia to flatten a big country with more than [-] soldiers, and now they are still stationed next to them.

This is like a thorn on the back. If the thorn is not pulled out, the resting monarch will not be able to sleep at night.

But with the power of their own country, they really have no idea if they want to defeat Daxia, so joining Rome is naturally the best choice.

The two countries joined forces and wanted to force Da Xia to withdraw his troops and return to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The Roman army could carry out plunder and gain wealth.

On the other hand, Anxi created a buffer country in the east, avoiding direct contact with Daxia, avoiding the situation of fighting on two fronts, and obtaining geographical security.

In this way, a western alliance against Great Xia was formed.

Fu Su looked at Bai Su with beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "Should we continue to send missions with heavy gifts to negotiate with Anxi?"

Bai Su shook his head slightly: "Bactria, where Han Xin is stationed, is a strategically important place. It connects the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Maurya Dynasty. It can be called an important hub on the Silk Road. It is absolutely impossible for us to back down half a step. .”

"If we don't let go, then in the eyes of Anxi, we will be a huge threat from the east. No matter how many gifts we give, they will never let go of their hostility towards us."

"It's just a matter of time before conflicts break out between each other in the future."

Fu Su's slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she couldn't help but said: "Then...then what should I do."

Although Han Xin led [-] to [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Bactria. These soldiers and horses are well-equipped and capable of fighting well, but they can still deal with some small-scale conflicts.

Once Anxi and Rome, such a huge opponent, launch a large-scale war, it is impossible to defend it with Han Xin's troops.

And the Central Plains is too far away from the local area, and I want to send an army of hundreds of thousands across three continents, fighting all the way to Anxi and Rome.

Not to mention whether we can win or not, the astronomical daily logistics consumption alone is enough to drag down the court's finances.

You must know that when the Maurya Dynasty was crusade against the Maurya Dynasty, the accumulation of the court for many years was almost exhausted, and the finances were in deficit.

Now it is necessary to crusade against the farther and stronger Anxi and Roman alliance, no matter how you think about it, the finances will not be able to support it.

But it won't work if you don't fight.

After all, for the Central Plains, the Peacock Dynasty is a super big granary, which is related to the existence of the country's destiny, and it is impossible to lose it anyway, so the troops will withdraw and return to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Bai Su stroked his chin and said, "Actually, there is no other way, as long as we defeat them in a way that doesn't cost too much money."

Fu Su smiled wryly: "Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not been moved, and food and grass go first. Every time an army is dispatched, it costs a lot of money. How can it be possible that the financial consumption is not large?"

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "In the past, it was transported by horses and horses, and the logistics pressure was really too great, but it's different to go by sea."

"Relying on Daxia's fleet today, each large treasure ship can carry two to three thousand soldiers, and the small one can carry more than 1000 people, and in the cabin, it can completely store supplies needed for several months or half a year."

"In addition to the sea route, the speed is faster, and the journey along the way is only one or two months away, so there is no logistical pressure at all.

"Relying on the fleet of the Central Plains, we can transport [-] to [-] soldiers to various places in a short period of time, as well as sufficient supplies, and launch a war far away from the Central Plains, which will not consume much money."

Fu Su's beautiful brows were slightly frowned, and she said with a wry smile: "Rome and Anxi have joined forces, and the total force exceeds 70 million. If you rely on a mere [-] soldiers and horses, let alone win with this force, I'm afraid even a little spray will be splashed." I can't get up."

With a mysterious smile on Bai Su's face, he said, "The ordinary 6 to [-] troops are of course useless, but my [-] to [-] soldiers, if each of them has inappropriate courage, can easily defeat the enemy many times over. Woolen cloth?"

Fu Su glanced at Bai Su in surprise, and couldn't help but asked, "Could it be...you can turn beans into soldiers, but can't you send down heavenly soldiers?"

The corner of Bai Su's mouth couldn't help twitching, he couldn't help crying and said, "I'm just a mere mortal, how can I know any fairy art?"

"Then you mean..."

"Although I don't know how to turn beans into a soldier, it's not difficult for a soldier who has been trained to have the strength of a thousand horses."

After pondering for a while, Bai Su smiled and said, "Have you heard of a flintlock gun..."

Chapter 460 Eat Ice Cream

Fu Su couldn't help being stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Flintlock, what is that?"

Bai Su picked up the teacup and took a sip, said with a smile: "This is a weapon that crosses the ages, and the way of fighting is fundamentally different from today's cold weapons."

"An army of thousands of people armed with flintlock guns can easily defeat an enemy army that is several times or even ten times larger than itself."

After finishing speaking, he took out a blueprint from his pocket and placed it in front of Fusu.

This is the blueprint he got through the lottery system when he returned to the voyage.

Although the system can draw a lottery once a month, due to his non-chief's luck, he has never been able to draw anything useful, not small toys, but snacks, uniforms and the like.

Until, we met frankly with the Mohist giant and went to Wushan together.

I don't know if holding a beautiful woman in his arms improved his luck and finally got a complete set of blueprints.

Fu Su's white jade hands raised the black hair scattered between her eyebrows, revealing her white and attractive collarbone. She reached out to pick up the drawing and looked down curiously.

I saw something that I had never seen before on the blueprint. It looked a bit like a long fire stick. The upper end of the tail was like a crossbow trigger.

Her slender black eyebrows could not help but slightly frowned, and she asked suspiciously: "Are you sure, this fire stick can really defeat an enemy army that is several times larger than yourself?"

No wonder she was skeptical, this thing felt enough to kill a rabbit, how could it defeat a brave enemy on the battlefield.

Bai Su smiled and said, "Have you forgotten Hong Tianlei?"

Fu Su couldn't help being stunned, and suddenly appeared in his mind, an inconspicuous black clay pot, as the fuse burned out, it made a loud noise like thunder.

She bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth, and said, "If this thing is as terrifying as that thunderbolt, then it really cannot be judged solely by its appearance."

"It's just that since you have such an artifact, why didn't you donate it earlier?"

Bai Su put down the teacup in his hand, coughed lightly, and said nonsense: "To manufacture this thing, a large number of top craftsmen who are skilled in gunpowder are needed, and the level of smelting steel is very high."

"In the past, there were only a handful of people in the imperial court who knew how to make gunpowder. In addition, the annual steel production was very limited. How could there be spare energy to make these?"

Fusu Zhu's lips parted slightly, and she sighed lightly: "From this point of view, I can't blame you."

She didn't have the slightest doubt about Bai Su's words.

After all, the court's previous understanding of gunpowder was completely blank. Under Bai Su's suggestion, the court asked the Mohists to use gunpowder to dig canals.

Through repeated use, this has cultivated a group of talents who can skillfully produce and make gunpowder.

Under the circumstances at the time, it was indeed a bit whimsical to want to make a flintlock gun with a more complex structure.

Fu Su handed the blueprint to Bai Su, and asked, "How long will it take to get into actual combat?"

Bai Su took back the blueprint, pondered for a while, and then said: "Now that we have a steam engine, as well as sufficient iron ore and coal, with the Mohist's current level of craftsmanship, it won't take long to make it."

"It's just that this thing is the same as cavalry. If you want to train a soldier who can master it proficiently, it will take as little as three months and as much as a year and a half."

"It's just that the first batch is the most time-consuming when starting from scratch. Once a mature workshop system is established, there are skilled craftsmen and experienced soldiers."

"You can promote them to serve as low-level officials to teach other newcomers, and then the efficiency will be much faster..."

Fu Su nodded and said lightly: "I'll leave it to you. As for the diplomacy with Anxi and Rome, I will try my best to stabilize these two countries for the time being, and try to delay it for you for a year."

Although she doesn't know the vocabulary of the workshop system, but because of the years of getting along with her, she is full of trust in Bai Su.

After all, the man in front of him may be laughing and joking on weekdays, he doesn't have a proper shape, and he doesn't look like a Daliang Zao at all.

But once the man in front of him became serious, with all kinds of long-term visions and plans for governing the country, even the mother would sit upright and listen carefully, never missing a single word.

Although she hated this rascal on weekdays, she still admired Bai Su's talent from the bottom of her heart.

A smile appeared on Bai Su's face, and he looked at Fu Su in front of him: "Then the business is over, it's time to talk about personal matters."

Fusu's dark eyes blinked, and he asked with some doubts: "Personal matters, what do you want to talk about, wait, what are you going to do..."

Under her surprised gaze, Bai Su pressed his hands on the table, and approached him whole body, the two of them looked at each other, their noses almost touched.

Two people can clearly see their own reflection in each other's eyes.

With a smile on his face, Bai Su stretched out his hand to lift her black hair, approached her delicate ear, and whispered: "I have helped you solve all the troubles your Highness encountered in daily life, but instead of being grateful, His Highness gave you I add trouble, which is a bit unreasonable."

Fu Su looked at Bai Su's handsome cheek, which was so close to him, and felt the scorching breath, spit on the sensitive skin of his neck.

She only felt that her body was a little weak, and her heart was beating violently. She turned her head shyly and said in a low voice: "How can I..."

Bai Su played with her hair with her fingers, and said, "No, you first threatened me with the matter between me and His Majesty, and you also used Xiao Yinman and Hu Yan as hostages to threaten me, and you want me to call you Dad, don't you think it's too much..."

As he spoke, he curled Fusu's hair with his fingers, and gently slid across her fair collarbone.

Fusu's fair and pretty face was blushing, and she stammered, "Yes...it's my fault, why don't I apologize."

Faced with Bai Su's sudden and domineering appearance, she was a little confused for a moment, and she was a little overwhelmed, not knowing what to do.

Bai Su snorted softly, and said, "If an apology is useful, then what's the point of arresting?"

"Then tell me, what should I do..." Fu Su raised his head slowly, looking at Bai Su with misty eyes.

Under the moonlight, her body became more and more alluring.

The curves are plump and graceful, and the white skirt seems to be shimmering under the moonlight. Her vermilion lips are slightly parted, and her breath is like orchid, just like the beloved Luoshen.

Gives a stunning feeling.

Bai Su's big hand reached down and touched Fusu's slender willow waist. He said with a smirk, "This is a mistake, so of course it will be punished."

"I...I know."

Seeing Bai Su's scorching gaze, Fu Su's fair and pretty face flushed, as if she understood something, she did not stop the big hand that was making trouble on her body, but bit her red lips lightly with her bright teeth, apparently acquiescing.

How could Bai Su hold Fusu's hot body in his arms, how could he hold back, he took Fusu's small head in his hands, and gently kissed her pink lips, and his fiery big hands became unscrupulous .

While Fu Su and Bai Su were kissing deeply, a pair of small hands squeezed the clothes on Bai Su's body tightly, and then let go.

Her face gradually turned red, her breath gradually became short of breath, she was always powerless to resist Bai Su's attack.

After kissing deeply for a long time, Bai Su let go of Fu Su's small mouth.

Fusu was panting heavily, Xiafei's cheeks were flirtatious, and there was a touch of charm on that pure little face, which was extremely lethal.

Fu Su suddenly remembered something, she bit her red lips lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Who do you think is better in figure, my mother or me?"

Hearing this obviously dangerous question, Bai Su's eyelids couldn't help shaking, he coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "This...the swallows are thin, the rings are fat, each has its own merits, just like a hundred flowers blooming, who is more beautiful."

Fu Su raised her head slowly, looked at Bai Su, and asked softly, "Then which one do you like better?"

Bai Su coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Children only have to make choices, adults... want everything."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists as if he was in control.

Fu Su glared at Bai Su shyly, gritted her teeth tightly and said, "You...you are just a bastard, a traitor, a traitor, a traitor, one day I want to eat your flesh, sleep Rupi..."

Bai Su scratched his cheek and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to change another day, today is fine."
