The days after Chapter 492 are still long, let’s do it and cherish it(1/2)
The land of China has been full of martial ethics since ancient times.
The people of China have experienced many difficulties and obstacles to today's Chinese culture.
Before, he was constrained by Zhou Li and often died for others.
Later, it gradually evolved into the world, all for profit, and all for profit.
Now wealth is moving.
After the sea was opened, it seemed that killing a few savages was not a big deal, driven by huge interests.
If the official defaults, this behavior does not violate Qin's laws.
But indulging in this behavior will make those people even more taboo.
At present, the best way to solve this problem is to establish a navy.
In this era, the essence of Chinese civilization is in the Central Plains.
In fact, as early as the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, when Wu and Chu competed for hegemony, there were naval troops in China.
At the beginning, they established naval forces just to adapt to the local river-rich environment.
The navy at that time had mainly assisted the war, and the actual situation of frontal combat almost did not exist.
Only in the later Wu and Yue War truly developed a navy army that could fight head-on.
Moreover, as the battlefield extended, the dispute between the two countries gradually expanded to the sea, and the earliest navy of Chinese civilization emerged.
During the Warring States Period, coastal countries also tried to develop shipbuilding and build weapons for water warfare.
He even specially formed a fleet and established a naval army of a certain size.
It is precisely because of this foundation that Xu Fu went to sea to successfully make his trip.
However, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, all the related things about the navy were abandoned.
Only a more developed shipbuilding industry is left.
The service targets of the shipbuilding industry are not the navy army, but the first emperor himself.
Because the First Emperor wanted to seek immortals and ask for medicine, he built a tower ship that could go to sea.
As for why we don’t pay attention to the navy?
The main reason is that there are no enemies along the coast of Daqin, and there is no need to establish a navy at all.
Another reason that must be mentioned is the concept of north and south of China.
Chinese civilization originated in the Central Plains. Since the Zhou emperor conquered the world, the princes of the northern world have always looked down on the south.
Although the Duke of Chu comes from China, they are called out by barbarians all day long.
Later, the King of Chu also became cruel and simply called himself a barbarian.
This hostility has lasted from top to bottom for hundreds of years.
If you just want to pick up an old Qin man on the street now, ask him what he thinks about the navy.
He will definitely speak loudly.
If you say something about a real man, you should ride a horse and fight on the battlefield!
What is the Navy?
The reality of each period has its own time.
Under the transformation promoted by Zhao Kun, the Qin Dynasty has gradually shown signs of emphasis on both rural and commercialism.
Just like Europe in the sixteenth century.
Driven by commercial interests, the people of Daqin will definitely flock to the sea.
In the era of sailing with the arrival of the commercial tide, ordinary people could only make gold in the waters around the Qin Dynasty.
The huge expenses of ocean trade are not something that ordinary people can afford.
To solve this problem, Europe adopted joint capital.
The joint-stock company model that distributes income according to the investment ratio eventually gave birth to the so-called East India Company.
This method is not Zhao Kun’s best choice.
In the first five-year development plan, Zhao Kun had long put a layer of shackles on businessmen.
Because he knew very well that when a merchant saw the huge profits of maritime trade, he was like a bloody shark, which was difficult to control.
Therefore, when Hou Sheng's case happened, he thought of establishing a navy and even supervising the imperial department of the seamen.
Although merchants have the right to trade in the ocean, they must be under the control of the court.
However, if you want to curb these merchants, the imperial department with only administrative power is obviously not enough to see.
It has become a natural thing to establish a navy, protect the maritime interests of the Qin Dynasty, and intimidate seamen with ulterior motives.
What Zhao Kun needs to consider now is who to send to train and take charge of the navy.
Wang Li?
This guy's military talent is definitely not to be said, but he has some problems with his character and is not the best candidate for the commander of the first army.
Han Xin?
He is a talented general, but he has not had the opportunity to contact military affairs until now. He may not be able to let him train the new army rashly.
After thinking about it, it seemed that only Zhang Han, who was in Nanyue, was the most suitable to take on this responsibility.
Zhang Han has been in South Vietnam for a while and must have adapted to the climate and environment of South Vietnam.
In addition, Nanyue is in the South China Sea, it is considered a natural port.
When the trade between Guanzhong and Nanyue is completed, Nanyue will definitely become more developed. At that time, training the navy there can be twice the result with half the effort.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Kun turned his head and looked at Fusu: "Brother, I think this matter can be handled as a typical example. You can call up any chamber of commerce that is interested in going overseas to hunt for gold and discuss maritime administrative law together!"
"It is particularly emphasized that the Qin navy will crack down on illegal people and ensure their interests overseas!"
"good!"
Fusu nodded and asked again: "Who are you going to take responsibility for the Navy?"
"I prefer Zhang Han. Does brother have a suitable candidate?" Zhao Kun said openly.
Fusu thought for a while: "I think Wang Li is feasible. The Qiang people's place is really not suitable for him!"
"At the beginning, I also wanted to use Wang Li, but that guy is not steady enough, so he has to practice for a few years before talking about it."
"General Meng Tian has a steady personality. Do you want him to be General Meng Tian's deputy?"
Hearing this, Zhao Kun was stunned, then remembered something, and asked back: "What do you mean is to build two navy?"
"I will go to America in March next year. I think that when I am going to be in need of a navy..." Fusu said sincerely.
"If this is the case, then build two naval forces, one in the South China Sea and the other in the East China Sea. You can take away the South China Sea and the one in the East China Sea. I have other arrangements!"
"So great!" Fusu nodded with satisfaction.
Zhao Kun glanced at him and hesitated: "Then... Is there anything else for brother?"
"What?" Fusu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you welcome big brother?"
"It's nothing, isn't this busy! I don't have time to entertain you..."
"I don't need you to entertain, just stroll around, just go for yourself!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kun rolled his eyes in his heart, and then said with a strange look: "No, brother, do you have anything else to discuss with me?"
"Um....."
Fusu pondered and said, "Brother wants to ask you, what gift will the woman give her the most to please her when she celebrates her birthday?"
"Um?"
Zhao Kun was shocked: "Brother wants to find my sister-in-law again?"
"What does it mean again! Brother, am I the kind of fickle person?"
Fusu glared at Zhao Kun angrily, and then said in a faint tone: "Since you proposed to marry a ring last time, your sister-in-law often talks in front of your elder brother. My elder brother knows she is envious!"
"But you also know my brother's personality. I don't understand love or love at all..."
"Brother is not planning to take them to the Americas this time. He has to wait until there is stability before he will pick them up. Therefore, Brother wants to give her a special gift while your sister-in-law's birthday!"
Speaking of this, he paused and sighed: "A few years ago, your sister-in-law suffered a lot. My elder brother knew that he was very sorry for her. Now he wanted to make up for it, but he was at a loss. He was so ashamed..."
"Brother means, I want me to pick a gift for you?" Zhao Kun asked tentatively.
Fusu turned his head and nodded solemnly: "I hope Brother Kun can help my elder brother!"
"Sorry, I refuse!"
"ha?"
Fusu was stunned and seemed to have no reaction.
