The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

After the final discussion, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were sent out with the army. Zhuge Liang and Gao Lan attacked Jiaozhou, Pang Tong and Pang De attacked South Vietnam, and then jointly attacked Funan.

In fact, with the abilities of Pang De and Gao Lan, there is no need to send military divisions to assist in attacking these places, but Chen Ziming wants to train Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong well. This is a good opportunity to learn more about the situation in the south. No matter how much information you read, how much you can listen to It's better to go to the trough in person.

Chen Ziming is still watching these two apprentices take care of themselves, if they don't train them well now, how can they make him feel at ease in the future.

"Let the two generals Zhou Tai and Ding Feng go out with the army." Liu Bei suddenly thought of the Jiangdong generals who had already served him, because these people not only did not contribute to the big man, but instead they were guilty. Opportunity to lead.

Now is just a chance to give them a chance to make meritorious service. If they perform well, Liu Bei will use them. After all, they are all rare generals.

Chen Ziming nodded and said: "I think it's feasible. The two of you know Jiaozhou and Nanyue better, and most of the old troops stay in Jiaozhou and Nanyue. If the two go, there should be unexpected gains."

After the arrangements were made, Chen Ziming called Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong alone: ​​"The two of you are allowed to go out with the army to let you understand the customs, climate changes, living habits, etc. of various places in the south, and think about how to stabilize the south and how to govern the south. , making it a treasure land for the big man, not a drag for the big man."

The temperament and living habits of the people in the south are very different from those in the north, and most of them live in the deep mountains and old forests. Make changes according to the actual situation.

"After capturing Funan, should we continue to attack the country or return to the army?" Pang Tong was confident, and he was not worried about taking all the places in the south.

Chen Ziming listened to Pang Tong's words, pondered for a while, and then said, "Don't chop up the country for now, let's manage the south first. After the battle, you two may stay in the south for a while and take charge of the affairs of the south."

"promise."

Needless to say, the military talents of the two are also good in government affairs, but they need to be cultivated step by step.Governance in the south was their first step, and Chen Ziming wanted to see how far the two of them had reached in government affairs.

"Also." Chen Ziming said: "Let the two generals Gao Lan and Pang De go south to gather troops first, and you two will wait for a while before leaving."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other and nodded yes. With their intelligence, they immediately knew Chen Ziming's intention to keep them. The Western Mission would arrive in Luoyang soon, and Chen Ziming wanted them to meet the leader of the Western Mission.

Chen Ziming's intention to train the two is obvious. They arranged to go out with the army, then to govern one side, and now it is a matter of contact with diplomacy. When the two thought of this, while being moved, they were also very excited. With Chen Ziming here, the future of the two of them is inevitable. imagine.

Although the current Dahan has established three ministries and two courts, before Liu Bei let go, it was still Liu Bei's words. Under Liu Bei's order, various ministries took action one after another, many officials began to go south, and the battle to conquer the south was about to start.

At this time, Luoyang City was undergoing major construction projects. The entire Luoyang City was re-planned and rebuilt. Most of the houses were overthrown and newly built.

The relatively well-preserved aristocratic mansions in Luoyang City were requisitioned by the imperial court and became the temporary office of the Han court.

The court hall is no longer the kneeling style of the previous court, but has been replaced with seats, which are comfortable to sit on and prevent ministers from recording and stacking things.

However, today's imperial court is no longer a day-to-day court meeting. The various ministries of the Han Dynasty perform their own duties and have their own office locations. Liu Bei controls the military aircraft department and calls people from various ministries when he has something to do. The imperial court has become a symbol.

At this time, the court hall was full of ministers from various ministries, because today the diplomatic missions from various countries will meet Liu Bei here, which is a very grand event.

Jian Yong and Chen Zhen led the missions into the court hall. A group of missions from various countries in the west were dressed strangely and their skin color was very different from that of the Han people, making the people in the court all different.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"

Weird Chinese shouted from the mouth of the mission. Of course, it is impossible for the mission to bow down to Liu Bei. After all, they are not Liu Bei's courtiers. They just bend down and put their hands on their chests to show respect.

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

From Chen Zhen, Liu Bei knew a lot about these missions. After the members of the missions were seated, Chen Zhen began to introduce the missions of various countries to Liu Bei.

"Envoy of the Sasanian Kingdom, Earl of Morton, Bishop Elliott, Deputy Envoy."

From the materials brought back by Chen Zhen, Chen Ziming knew that the Sasanian Dynasty was ruled by nobles, and under the king were nobles such as grand dukes, marquises, earls, and viscounts. In addition to the central province, the other provinces of the current Sassanian dynasty are governed by The governor appointed by the king is in charge of the administration, which is similar to the state pastor of the Han Dynasty, with single-handed control of military and political power.

As for the bishop, it is a title of the church. The Sassanian Dynasty adopted Zoroastrianism as the state religion. According to Chen Zhen, the current ministers of the Sasanian Dynasty are actually head priests, that is, the head of the religion is the minister. The minister is equivalent to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

It can be seen how terrible the influence of religion was in the Sasanian Kingdom. Not only religious people served as officials, but they were also very important positions. As Chen Zhen said, in the Sassanian Dynasty, you may be able to escape by speaking ill of nobles, but if you dare to speak religiously Bad words, the chances of escaping are almost zero.

"Barrett, the envoy of Guishuang Kingdom, Ross, the deputy envoy, Bowen Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism."

The Guishuang Empire can be said to be an empire connected to the Great Han. You must know that the Western Region is the territory of the Great Han in a sense. It is within the territory of the Great Han and connected to the Guishuang Empire. The management of the five tribal chiefs of the five great Yue clans is the so-called five tribes.

Later, Qiu, one of the five tribes, unified the five tribes and established the current Guishuang Empire. After years of external expansion, the current Guishuang Empire spans the huge empires of Central Asia and South Asia, and is juxtaposed with the other three world-class empires.

Guishuang Empire seems to be powerful, but its problems are not small. Most of its territories are invaded and composed of many forces. If the national power is strong, it is okay. Once the monarch does not have enough strength, he will definitely lose control of local forces. ability to rule.

Because the Guishuang Empire does not have a long history like the Han Dynasty, does not have the same ancestors, does not have the same cultural heritage, and cannot achieve a unified thinking like the Han Dynasty.

Chapter 662 Going on the road and preaching

This is also the biggest problem facing the Guishuang Empire today, and with the rise of the Sasanian Dynasty, the Guishuang Empire can be described as internal and external troubles.

As for the other three empires in the same period, let alone the big Han, the history of Rome is not much worse than that of China. After several wars, Rome still stands. As for the Sasanian Dynasty, it can be said to be the continuation of the Persian Empire. It is also as old as the Guishuang Empire, which is not a mere foreign country.

"Yarman, the envoy of the Kang Ju Kingdom...started

"Dawan Kingdom Envoy Ackerman..."

"Onios, envoy of Turan Kingdom..."

"Bactrian envoy..."

"Messenger of Mokran..."

"Balmi Grain Messenger..."

. . . . . .

A total of thirteen national envoys, including most of the countries in Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe. Of course, there are more than these countries in Asia today, and there is not a single country in Southeast Asia, but the Han army will soon go to find them. them.

There are also countries in South Asia. The most powerful one now should be the Baicheng Dynasty, and its territory is large enough. It can block the expansion of the Guishuang Empire, which shows its strength.After the big Han conquered the Chop Kingdom and Southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that it will be connected with the Baicheng Dynasty.

As for Europe, being blocked by the Sasanian Dynasty, the Han mission could only stop here, but it still brought back several missions from small countries in Eastern Europe, barely contacting Europe.

After that, the missions from various countries sent gifts to Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty. Most of them were some very precious gold and silver jewelry, ivory inlaid with gold, etc. There were all kinds of things, but I have to say that they were all precious things and worth collecting.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Han." After the gift, Earl Morton, the envoy of the Sasanian Dynasty, stood up, bowed to Liu Bei, and then said: "Our empire wants to reopen the trade route with the Han Empire, and we hope that His Majesty the Emperor of Han will allow it."

At this time, Chen Ziming stood up and said: "The Great Han has also restarted the Silk Road, and communicated with the western countries. At the time when the envoys of all countries are here, we will discuss the matter of reopening the trade route, and hope that all countries will publish their own opinions. view."

Reopening the trade route is not a one-sentence matter. It requires the cooperation of various countries. They need to open the road, they need to send troops to clear the horse bandits on Xiaoqing Road, and all countries need to guarantee the interests and personal safety of the merchants.

Moreover, business taxes also need to be negotiated carefully. Opening up business routes, in addition to exchanging needs, there is also the need to bring tax revenue to the country.

"Our Guishuang Empire agrees to reopen the trade routes and guarantee the safety of merchants from all over the empire..." Barrett, the envoy of the Guishuang Empire, immediately expressed his support.

You must know that the Guishuang Empire is the only place that connects the east-west business routes. I don’t know how much wealth the Silk Road once brought to the Guishuang Empire. Now, of course, they support the opening of the trade route. It is only good for the Guishuang Empire, and there is no harm. .

The Han Empire, the Guishuang Empire, and the Sasanian Dynasty all agreed to reopen the trade routes, and the three empires happened to be connected to each other. After that, it can radiate from the three empires to all directions.

As for the Roman Empire, Chen Ziming couldn't help it. The Sassanid Dynasty blocked the way, and it might take a lot of effort to connect to Rome.

Forcibly forcing the Sasanian Dynasty to give way, Chen Ziming felt that it was quite difficult, at least the current big Han did not have this ability, even though the Sassanian Dynasty had just been established, but its predecessor was the Persian Empire, just like the relationship between the big Han and Qin.

What made Chen Ziming think the most was that the emperor of the Sasanian Dynasty was Ardashir, who was known as the King of Kings in history and the founder of the Sasanian Dynasty. Now it is expanding in all directions, and the Guishuang Empire is also being persecuted by Ardashir. retreat.
