In addition, some expedition ships have begun to explore and draw sea charts in the South China Sea. I believe that in the near future, the islands of the South China Sea will appear on the territory map of the Chinese Empire.

As for Du Fuwei, after he has captured Li Zitong's territory, his power has become increasingly stronger. He is occupying the south of the Jianghuai River and Jiangxi, resisting Dou Jiande's southern expedition in the north, and looking at Li Zitong in the southwest.

Li Zitong was also a capable man. After falling down, he could fall down and get up again. After being cleaned up by Du Fuwei, Li Zitong fled east to Taihu Lake, collected scattered soldiers, and obtained 20,000 people. He attacked Chen Faxing in Wujun and defeated Chen Faxing. Chen Faxing took hundreds of followers and gave up Wujun city and fled. Li Zitong's troops became stronger again, and moved the capital to Yuhang, took over all the territory of Chen Faxing, went to Kuaiji in the east, Wuling in the south, Xuancheng in the west, and Taihu Lake in the north, all of them were his.

Now facing Du Fuwei, who is becoming more and more powerful, Li Zitong also knows that he is no longer a rival of Du Fuwei's equal strength. He has sent envoys to Xiao Xian, the Liang Kingdom, hoping to join forces with Xiao Xian.

After Xiao Xian received this news, he was quite happy. Perhaps it was a blessing to be able to unite with Li Zitong in his eyes. At least he only needs to be attacked from three sides at the moment. However, this guy's behavior was strongly opposed by Cen Wenben.

First of all, Li Zitong is definitely not a good person, and the matter of taking the alliance is extremely familiar. Moreover, Li Zitong's opponent is Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei has already surrendered to the Huaxia Empire. In other words, if you join forces with Li Zitong, you will inevitably offend the Huaxia Empire, the most powerful enemy, and it is definitely not good news.

Especially for the Liang Kingdom, which was attacked from all sides, the Huaxia Empire at least maintained a certain kindness towards the Liang Kingdom. However, now, Xiao Xian's actions will inevitably make these kindness disappear without a trace. Then, the time when the Huaxia Empire enters the pass, it will be the period of the destruction of the Liang Kingdom.

His words made a lot of sense. Even though I was thousands of miles away, I couldn't help but cheer for Cen Wenben's words.

"It's a pity that Xiao Xian is short-sighted and jealous of talented people. Although Cen Wenben's words were good words,..." Fang Xuanling also commented with regret.

"But Your Majesty, since Liang State has become an ally with Li Zitong, should we make some statements?

I nodded deeply and said, "This is natural, otherwise, Xiao Xian might really think I am weak. Tell Zong Luosui that he would take over the entire Badong County within a month. I want to see how Xiao Xian will react."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will tell General Zong now. I believe General Zong will not disappoint His Majesty." Wei Yunqi raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently.

"Well, I believe in General Zong, by the way, how have the roads in Bashu been repaired?" I nodded and looked at the warrior responsible for road traffic construction.

The warrior stood up and took a thick piece of information to report on that side: "The cement straight roads of the counties in the Bashu Basin of Your Majesty have been completely unobstructed by the end of this spring. In addition, the cement straight road from Chang'an to Jiaozhi is still more than 700 miles away. Although the cement straight roads in other counties are very difficult to construct because of the dangerous mountain. However, most of the projects have exceeded half of the completion volume."

The road to Shu is difficult, it is harder than climbing to the blue sky. This is what the ancients said. Not to mention the ancients, I have a deep understanding even when I was born in the 20th century. Especially in the 1980s, most roads were still the same kind of mountain climbing roads, and they would climb when they encountered a mountain. Sometimes, it would take several hours to surround a mountain, and if you dig a hole, it would be at most ten minutes.

Of course, I will play hard when I want to play, and try to dig holes if I can. I rarely go up a mountain or something. In this way, such road construction even makes me feel like an ancient expressway.

Because it is in a mountainous area, such road construction does increase the difficulty, but it doesn't matter. This way, the road is straightened a lot and reduces a lot of detours. Although caves have certain dangers and there are certain difficulties in driving, it is always much better than circling mountains and water.

Therefore, I can understand the difficulties raised by the warriors. Fortunately, the war in the Central Plains allowed me to have unexpected labor to do these things. Although road construction is dangerous and people will die, compared to war, the number of people who died was simply drizzle.

Within two years, all counties and counties in Bashu will be fully connected. Just a cement straight road from Chang'an and directly from Shu to Jiaozhi makes many Shu products more conveniently transported, and also drives trade and industry and commerce in Bashu.

In various places under my rule, the development of industry and commerce is extremely rapid. What the rapid development of industry and commerce has brought about more frequent trade transactions. Similarly, frequent trade transactions have led to the rapid growth of the treasury income.

This also made many civil and military ministers and knowledgeable people who opposed and supported the worker silently shut their mouths, because, as they saw it, they knew very well that even if they opposed it, it would be useless.

Because the facts are already in front of us, the development of industry and commerce not only did not hinder the development of agriculture, but also caused land annexation to almost completely stop. Because the fair and just tax income of the Chinese Empire made everyone feel that although such fairness can only cover most people, it is much more amazing than before.

From emperors to civilians, everyone pays taxes according to the rules. Who has anything to say? The emperor has accepted them all. Do you have the courage to object and will not be able to pay taxes?

In addition, the Chinese studies in various counties have begun to be established. Many literati who were unsuccessful in the past are willing to come out of their homes and come to these schools to teach them knowledge to the children of merchants, farmers and workers, so that they can understand that the country they live in is called the Huaxia Empire.

The words they use are called Chinese characters. They all have the same bloodline. They are all the people of the proud Chinese Empire.

The cohesion of the country is to cultivate it from an early age, so that they can understand what the land they live and reproduce is, what their race is, and where their future lies.

A large number of retired soldiers also joined the education team. The courses they taught and the ideas they promoted inspired the passion and hope in the hearts of these teenagers. They told these teenagers how big the world is and what kind of crisis-ridden environment the Chinese nation lives in.

Every county school and county school gate writes a couplet: Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned, the sound of wind and rain sounds, and the sound of reading is heard.

This couplet that only appeared in the Ming Dynasty appeared a thousand years ago and will be deeply engraved in the hearts of countless generations of Chinese students. In the future, they will all understand the truth that this couplet is about to tell.

Li Yuan was silent, or in other words, under such a danger, his ambition to dominate the world had fallen into confusion. However, silence also represents dissatisfaction and resistance. But at least, it is much better than the clear opposition in the past.

Li Shimin now completely tore his face, asking for weapons, equipment, food, everything. Perhaps, this stubborn and outstanding young man wants a last try. He wants to see if this day will change.

When Li Yuan was so angry that he wanted to carry his sword alone to Lishijun and ask why Li Mi did this, Li Mi wrote a letter, which told me in a very emotional way that the reason why he went to respect Jie Li Khan.

It's very simple. The 50,000 army under his own hands has been crippled and destroyed. Except for the more than 20,000 deaths, everyone else was injured. Even Li Mi lost several hairs. However, if you want to increase your troops, you, Li Yuan, stopped you, with one reason or another.

What's more, your eldest son Li Jiancheng was so arrogant and domineering when he came to work hard and did not take Li Dazhu, who was very hardworking and made great contributions, so he had to take advantage of this bad strategy and surrender to Jie Li Khan.

In this way, Li Mi, Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, generally became Jie Li Khan's lackeys. Well, the spokesperson, in this way, the chance of conflict between the several parties will be greatly reduced. In this way, Li Mi can use less troops to guard the northern border of Shanxi for longer.

He said it very beautifully. As for other things, he privately increased troops, and changed territory with Liang Shi. He secretly made an appointment with Liu Wuzhou and many other things were forgotten by Li Mi.

Some are just his goodness. After receiving this letter, Li Yuan wanted to tear the letter to pieces and swallow it, but in the end, in order to ensure the safety of Jinyang, Li Yuan could only force himself to laugh and reply to a letter with the same passion. In the letter, he expressed the noble sentiment between two brothers surnamed Li, who were a family five hundred years ago.

In addition, he expressed his indignation at the behavior of his son Li Jiancheng and told Li Mi that he would deal with this disobedient and bravely stubborn child. In addition, I hope that Li Mi, seeing that Li Yuan once extended a helping hand to save him from the sea of ​​suffering in his most dangerous time, must guard the north of Shanxi. In the future, we two may be able to share the world equally.

In the letter, there was a lot of thought, and the two of them expressed their kindness in their hearts inconvenient ways, but Li Yuan would rather believe that Li Mi really thought so.
