Chapter Thirty Overview
The next morning, when Zhu Bingkun left the city, he met Zhang Xin and his sister again.
Both of these brothers and sisters were holding tall horses. As soon as they saw Zhu Bingkun, Zhang Xin smiled and said, "I have a good relationship with Brother Zhu."
Zhu Bingkun laughed: "It's really not shallow."
Then he said, "I am the brother and sister who are going to leave the city?"
"Brother Zhu is also going to leave the city?" Zhang Xin smiled and said, "My brother and sister have an appointment with a friend, and they went there today."
"So that's it." Zhu Bingkun smiled and said, "I plan to walk around Jiang Yang to see what the situation is."
Zhang Xin's expression moved: "Brother Zhu is planning to gain a foothold in Jiang Yang?"
"It's not impossible." Zhu Bingkun said.
Zhang Xin said: "Brother Zhu has been in the Western Region for more than ten years. After all, Middle Earth is the root. Now Mingzhou is in chaos, so it is good to have a foothold here. Jiang Yang is the key to the upper reaches of Yangjiang River, and the feng shui is good."
"I hope so." Zhu Bingkun clasped his fists: "I won't disturb your brother and sister. Brother Zhang, there will be a date later."
"There will be a date later." Zhang Xin and his sister turned over the horse, and they had already left with the sound of horse hooves.
Zhu Bingkun looked at the backs of the two, and said to a brief armored man beside him, "Follow them and don't miss their whereabouts."
"Here!"
Leading the horse away.
"The horses in this world are much better than those of the horses before the empire's improved breeds." Zhu Bingkun also turned over and jumped onto the horse's back: "The world is different, and many things are also different."
Then he said: "Let's go back to the stronghold."
This horse is not cheap, Zhu Bingkun bought a hundred horses at one time, after all, he still needs some means of transportation here for the time being.
Back to the stronghold, it was probably noon.
Zhu Bingkun first sent the situation back to the empire, and then suppressed the waiting.
...
After watching the picture, Ying Yi was slightly moved when he moved. The second world is an ancient world, with low productivity and backward combat power. With the current power of the Great Xia Empire, it is not difficult to conquer it. However, thinking of the previous plan, Ying Yi slightly suppressed it.
Changes in the morning and night are not beneficial. Grand strategies cannot be changed, and they cannot be said to be released one by one.
Furthermore, the exploration of the second realm begins. After all, I don’t know if there is any wonder. It may not be better to be impulsive.
For the time being, the five hundred soldiers brought by Zhu Bingkun should be enough. However, like the first world, the stronghold must be established first, and the corresponding production lines must be sent by craftsmen early.
As for building the corresponding portal, there is probably nothing we can do now. Wang Yulong's group, who has construction experience, is still in the first realm. In general, it still lacks foundation.
After thinking for a while, Ying Yi consumed millions of human energy and asked the Heavenly Eye to send a message to Zhu Bingkun. Then he ordered Zhang Ming to send an edict to the Ministry of Works to organize craftsmen to prepare the production line and transmit it to him within three days.
...
Zhu Bingkun quickly received the order and took a picture after reading it, he knew it. Now he was just waiting for the reward of the soldier who had been scattered.
In the next half month, the soldiers who had been scattered came back one after another, bringing a lot of news within 500 miles of the surrounding area.
First of all, Zhu Bingkun had a certain understanding of the geography of this world. The Li family and Sui Kingdom had a very large territory in name, which was much larger than the Ming court of the previous dynasty of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Li family and Sui Kingdom had fifty-six paths in the world, each of which was broad, no less than the imperial state-level region.
For example, Mingzhou is one road. Yangnan belonging to Jiangyang is also one road, bordering Mingzhou Road.
Secondly, I have a more detailed understanding of the current situation in the Li family and Sui Kingdom. Zhu Bingkun also knows the so-called three cross-sea battles and the cross-land canal.
The three cross-sea battles were three cross-sea wars from the third year after the Li family became the country and ended in the tenth year. In each war, the number of troops used exceeded 500,000 and the number of civilians exceeded one million. The target was a continent on the other side of the Mirage Sea.
Zhu Bingkun didn't know the entire geography of this world. Perhaps even the natives of this world didn't know it. However, the continent on the other side of the Mirage Sea had already communicated with Middle-earth eight hundred years ago. The Mirage Sea was narrow and long, and it was tens of thousands of miles from the south to the north, but its width was only one thousand miles on average.
The second generation of Li family set up a large army and set sail to conquer the eastern land. The losses were huge three times, but the results were difficult to make up for. Three times, one and a half million troops, and at least 60% of them were lost in the cross-sea war, and only occupied a land equivalent to the east.
Such a huge loss caused turmoil in the Sui State. The loss of a large number of young and strong laborers caused rapid reduction in productivity. The loss of elite troops made it difficult for the Sui State to suppress the hostilities around the country, and even could not control the internal forces.
Corresponding to the three cross-sea expeditions is the Cross-land Canal. There is a huge Neihu in the east of the Sui Kingdom. The rivers flowing west and east of the Sui Kingdom eventually pour into this Neihu. There is only a narrow and long land barrier between the Neihu and the sea.
However, the main rivers of the Sui Kingdom were north-south. Nei Rivers that were east-west and west-west were not large, which was not conducive to water transportation. Therefore, Li II decided to start from this Neihu, called the East China Sea, to build a canal that runs across the east and west, connecting three major rivers north-south, and end at the imperial capital.
The canal is 2,800 miles east-west, and has used more than five million civilians. It was just completed a year ago.
This huge project was not underestimated even in Daxia. However, it was realized in such a world with backward productivity. Even if this Li family II was not good, its courage was worthy of praise. However, the three battles across the sea and the canal across the land, and the two superimposed on each other exhausted the last potential of the Sui Kingdom.
Now the entire Sui Kingdom is full of war. Not only Mingzhou, but also the fifty-six paths in the world, except for the twelve paths in the Western Regions, half of the other forty-four paths have already rebelled.
Yangnan Road where Zhu Bingkun is located is still peaceful. Although there were small-scale rebellions, they were all suppressed by the road platform of Yangnan Road.
In addition, Zhu Bingkun also gained an in-depth understanding of the historical evolution of this world from the books he collected.
It has been four thousand years since the civilization of Middle-earth in this world. During this period, the Sui Kingdom was the tenth dynasty. There were five emperors and nine emperors in this world, and there were also hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and Dharma and Mo Nong.
The mainstream of today's era is the aristocratic family. The roots of aristocratic family originated from various schools of thought, and then devoted themselves to military and political affairs, monopolized cultural knowledge, and formed the skeleton of one dynasty and one country. The aristocratic family became large and was in the Daliang Dynasty of the previous dynasty of the Sui Dynasty. The Daliang Dynasty was destroyed due to the chaos of aristocratic family.
The Li family of Sui State itself was a big family. The establishment of the Sui State was supported by other families. Therefore, the Second Emperor of Sui State moved the aristocratic family and his country could not be preserved.
