The Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Jun took office as the treasurer of the Great Wu Bank, and controlled the world's currency transactions. In the first month of this year, he broke out his courage and directly joined forces with the Ministry of Commerce to launch a business model other than national debt in the current imperial court. The bonds, with the Dawu Bank as a guarantee, collected a full [-] million silver dollars from private merchants.

In the Wu Dynasty, since Sun Quan personally led the business war, the development of business has leapt up. With the development of the Silk Road and the maritime trade route, the merchants of Great Wu are the wealthiest people in the world of Great Wu.

Now the Great Wu Bank is the guarantee for many money transactions. With the Great Wu Bank as a guarantee, many merchants trust it, and they have paid out their silver one after another. Soon, the Great Wu Bank has collected [-] million silver dollars.

Last year, the tax revenue of the Great Wu Dynasty was only 6000 million silver dollars, and the tax was increased by two points at once, which allowed the court to overcome the most difficult moment.

At the same time, it also allowed the cabinet to stabilize and appease the hearts of the people of the world.

Once the cabinet stabilized in this regard, people's hearts naturally began to stabilize, and at this time, the military also quickly stabilized.

After Zhao Yun came to power, he took drastic measures to rectify military discipline and let the army recuperate.

In January, the Xiongnu Legion left Jinling City, headed straight north, and rushed to the grassland to recruit recruits to supplement the strength of the Huns.

In February, Chen Dao led the Bashu Legion to return to the southwest to recruit soldiers. In mid-February, the Jiangdong Legion and the Sea Shark Legion divided up the Dongzhi Legion established by Sun Ce to surrender troops.

In late February, Lu Lan, the heroine of the Great Wu, was decreed by Sun Quan to be named the third-rank Duke and Suzaku Duke.On the same day, the Military Aircraft Department appointed her as the commander of the Flying Tiger Army. Three days later, she led the Flying Tiger Army to Chang'an and stationed on the Shu Road to the south of Chang'an City.

Then the Guanzhong Army rushed to Guanzhong to station on the Baqiao in the east of Chang'an City, followed by the Skeleton Army going north along the Grand Canal, entering the Luoshui River, and looking at Chang'an City in the distance.

The soldiers and horses in front were just resting and recuperating, but many people couldn't understand the series of soldiers and horses mobilization of the next few legions.

However, many people in the DPRK could feel the wind and rain coming. When they thought of the Cao Wei faction's proposal to move the capital to divert the pressure from the Jiangdong faction, many people understood it all at once.

The army has also temporarily stabilized, and in terms of Yushitai, after Lu Dai took office, he began to clean up the teams left by Zhang Hong, and completely controlled Yushitai. Among them, the four major inspectors of Yushitai, except him In addition to his own position, he also won two, four went to three, and a big change came directly.

Lu Dai, who is known in history as a good old man in Jiangdong, has nothing to do but becomes a blockbuster, completely revealing his iron and blood killing side, telling the officials of the court that he can afford a pen and a butcher knife, and it is best not to be planted. in his hands.

All of a sudden, officials at all levels of the imperial court felt a sense of crisis, and they became cautious in their usual actions, not daring to give Yu Shitai a chance to catch him.

This triggered a new round of incorruptible actions by Dawu officials.

As the Great Wu court got on the right track, the pain left to the people due to the civil strife in the court last year, especially on the Jiangdong land, was gradually dissipated.

Of course, there is a small episode in the middle.

The second prince, Sun Han, who was unwilling to participate in the competition for the position of the crown prince in the East Palace, seemed to want to open up after being captured in the battle of Jinling City. Soon after the beginning of the new year, he directly reported that he was willing to enter the court as an official.

After the opening of the dynasty in the first lunar month, Sun Quan personally decreed that Sun Han was a doctor of the Ministry of Commerce and an official of the fifth rank.

Now the position of the crown prince of the East Palace is vacant because Sun Shao took the initiative to enter the imperial tomb to guard the tomb.

Sun Han's initiative was considered by many to be the intentional crown prince position, and this speculation directly triggered the silent battle for the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. Whether it was Sun Sheng, the great prince who had settled down in Yingchuan Academy, or Sun Sheng, who had accumulated strength in silence, Dong, or Sun Shao, who was living in the imperial mausoleum, began to act secretly.

However, after Sun Shao gave up the position of Prince of the East Palace, Sun Quan once said that he would not choose the position of crown prince within three years, but this storm was still undercurrent under the calm sea, and it took a long time to break out.

In March, this is a month when spring comes after winter. With such a fine weather, Sun Quan also took his family to Zhongshan for an outing. They had a good time for a few days, and it was a way to relax the depressed mood during this period.

After the outing, Sun Quan began to invest in the future planning of the Great Wu Dynasty.

After stabilizing the domestic order, his primary focus began to be on the battlefields of the Western Regions.

After the battle of the previous year, the two countries have maintained a calm confrontation. Both sides restrained their soldiers. Although there were small-scale battles, large-scale battles never broke out.

But everyone knows that the truce between the Great Wu Dynasty and the Roman Empire is only temporary.

Sun Quan will not be disheartened because of one defeat. Conquering the land of Western Europe is his goal. As long as he is still alive, he will continue to advance along this goal.

For the people of the Roman Empire, the Wu army's invasion was a disgrace, and only blood can wash away the shame of the Romans.

"What's the current situation in the frontier?"

In the military side hall of the Imperial Study, Sun Quan stood beside a giant sand table, looking at the territory facing the Byzantine city-state.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the bloody battles of the year before and the year before last have seriously injured the vitality of the imperial court and Rome. Although there is no parliament on both sides, the frontiers will suppress their soldiers and will not take the initiative to provoke. For the time being, it is still peaceful!"

Li Ru stood beside him calmly, and replied in a low voice: "However, when the snow melted in February, the Sea Eagle Legion and the Snow Leopard Legion tried to jointly attack Greece, but they returned in vain!"

"How is Tai Shici's mood recently?"

After hearing the report from the Snow Leopard Army, Sun Quan thought about it and asked.

"The follower can't see it, but it should be accepting the fact!"

Li Rudao: "At the beginning when he voluntarily stayed to guard the frontier, he may have already thought about what happened in Jinling City, and it was the best and worst plan, so even Sun Bofu's death did not arouse him too much emotion. !"

"The people staring at him should withdraw!"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "I don't want him to be burdened too much!"

"Your Majesty, although Rujun's Tai Shi Chi's mood is still calm, it is undeniable that his Tai Shi Chi and Sun Bofu have a friendship. He used to be Sun Bofu's right-hand man. In terms of Sun Bofu's personality charm, he can People who are loyal to him will be somewhat persistent, I think we need to observe and observe!"

"Something backfired!"

Sun Quan shook his head: "He is my general, the trust that should be given to him must be given to him. If he really rebels, it can only be considered that we are unlucky. Before he does not rebel, I will never force him to rebel! "

"Your Majesty said yes!"

Li Ru thought for a while, and agreed with Sun Quan's statement. The most important thing was that Sun Bofu's remnants were almost wiped out. A Tai Shici, who can't do anything alone, does not pose a big threat to the current court.

"Tell me about the situation in Rome!"

"promise!"

Li Ru nodded and said: "After Caracalla came to power, he used the power of the Senate more than Severus. He is not as strong as Severus, but he also knows the emperor's mind. In order to fight against Severus' old ministers, he used the Senate The power of the imperial aristocracy headed by the Academy is quite good at using the technique of balance. In the army, he directly controls the Jagged Legion and the Holy Angels Legion, but his relationship with William and the No.1 Chaks in the military seems to be It's getting stiffer!"

"Chaks is a general, a powerful general. William only surrendered to Severus back then. To put it bluntly, Caracalla was promoted by them. In their hearts, Caracalla is just a child!"

Sun Quan said indifferently: "They are loyal to the Severus dynasty, but they look down on Caracalla. Caracalla's character is not necessarily a submissive person, conflicts are inevitable!"

"It's still the same thing!" Li Ru said: "Caracalla's younger brother, Gaita, was imprisoned by Severus because he lost to Caracalla, but Severus was beheaded by His Majesty in Rome, Caracalla He led the army to pursue us, but he forgot to deal with Geta. Later, after he returned to the court, Geta had disappeared. I suspect that this person should be in the hands of Chucks or William now. It is a trump card they use to check and balance Caracalla. , if Caracalla doesn't listen to me, maybe they will change to another emperor!"

"And this thing!"

The corner of Sun Quan's mouth raised a playful smile: "Can you be sure that Geta is in their hands?"

"It's just a guess!" Li Rudao: "After the First World War in Rome, our secrets buried in the Roman Empire have been weakened a lot. This Hades is not simple. His death spies are our Jinyiwei's formidable enemy!"

"Hades, the king of Hades in Roman mythology?"

Sun Quan sneered, he glanced at Li Ru, and said coldly: "Old Li, you can't even beat him!"

"of course not!"

Li Ru said coldly: "In the territory of Rome, he is the master and I am the guest. Naturally, I have to be careful to let him in, but his tentacles have never dared to go deep into our Great Wu Dynasty. I will pull out all the tentacles that can get in." Lost, he is defending, I am attacking, if you defend for a long time, you will lose, as long as you give me a chance, I will get rid of him!"

"That's your business. What I want is detailed information on the territory of the Roman Empire. If you can't do it, the Jin Yiwei will be useless!" Sun Quan said indifferently.
