Chapter 984

The far north of the Han Empire is still a land of ice and snow, but the South has long been blooming in spring.

Fu Wei, who had just returned from mainland A3, was a little confused by the pie falling from the sky. He became the protector of one side.

The Laofu family was invested by Liu Yan in the Han Dynasty during the difficult survival period of Changguang county. Unfortunately, there were no high-end talents in the family at that time, resulting in no ethnic group being able to get into a high position.

However, even without high-end talents, Laofu family still has some talents who can work. With the continuous expansion of the territory ruled by Liu Yan, he has gradually become a person at the prefecture level, that is, there has been no development in the military.

Lao Fu's family really entered the first-class family after Fu Wei became Jiangdu order.

Since then, Fu Wei has been fully supported by the old Fu family. However, the development track of Fu Wei is somewhat different from the expectations of the old Fu family. He has not transferred from the official position of Jiangdu order to the army. Since he became Jiangdu order, he has been labeled as a water army, and the development circle is limited to the water army.

Since ancient times, there have been "three services" in China, which originally meant infantry, chariot and cavalry. Later, the chariot army was gradually eliminated, and the Navy such as louchuan replaced the chariot army in the "three services".

Before Liu Che, the navy was basically a transparent person, but not many people would pay attention or care. At that time, Liu Che got enough attention because he had to fight against the southern countries.

With the collapse of Fujian, Vietnam and South Vietnam, the Navy once again entered a dispensable state, and even acted as a fishing fleet.

In a very long period of time, only when the country fell into the division between the north and the south, the navy of Zhuxia would be re valued. Generally, the Yangtze River was used as the battlefield, and it was unpromising to fight and kill in that small ditch until a victory or defeat was divided, and then the Navy became a dispensable role again.

Although the Han Empire at that time had not only played in inland rivers, but had initially shown its ambition for the sea, the long-standing concept and cognition still had a great impact.

The old Fu family is naturally very anxious that Fu Wei is limited to the Navy circle. What they expect is that Fu Wei can play a role in the army. It may be extravagant to climb to the general level of "Zheng", but there is still hope to climb to the level of Zhonglang general.

It turned around when the Han Empire decided to attack the Gupta empire across the sea.

Due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of water warfare among the direct line personnel of the Han Empire, many demobilized generals who originally belonged to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were re employed and reused. As direct line personnel and officials who knew water warfare, they were promoted like sitting on a rocket under their ass.

For more than two years, the war between the Han Empire and the Gupta empire was in the stage of sea duel, and a large group of talents in sea war emerged. They were continuously promoted because of their war achievements, which finally made those who had ignored the Navy understand that not only military achievements on land are military achievements, but also the titles and rewards that the Navy should receive for meritorious service.

As a member of his lineage, Fu Wei, who had played an important role, took over as the commander-in-chief of the fleet after the war of the Gupta Empire, and the original Li Mai and Wang niche were transferred back to China.

After the merit evaluation, there are generals from the Navy, including Fu Wei, Li Mai and Wang niche. The difference is that Fu Wei continues to be reused, while Wang niche and Li Mai are transferred to relatively less important positions.

At this moment, Fu Wei, who has become the protector of Nanyang capital, stood in the bow of the boat and looked at the rolling waves ahead. He still couldn't support himself.

There were only four protectors in the whole Han Empire.

Li Kuang and Si Hongzhuang were absolutely right. One of them was to wipe out the western regions before Xie an easily recovered the whole western regions, and the other was to participate in the war of destroying the Gupta empire.

Qian Jiantong is also one of the lineages. Just because he is a descendant of Xiongnu, no one will believe if he is not affected, but no one will mention it.

The xiqian family took refuge decisively before Liu Yan became rich. The owner of the family, Xi Qian Bai Liao, died in the state of Murong Yan. To some extent, it cleaned up the biggest obstacle that was still called xiqian Jian in officialdom at that time.

Qian Jiantong was one of the first Zhonglang generals under Liu Yan's command, but after reaching the level of Zhonglang generals, he seemed to have encountered an invisible ceiling. He was Zhonglang generals from the 7th year of Yuanshuo to the 13th year of Yuanshuo. He hasn't even moved his official position for six years.

Such a situation may not exist. At that time, the northern Xinjiang that should have been destroyed had been destroyed. Without too many large-scale wars, there was a lack of opportunities for meritorious service. Several other Zhonglang generals, Li Kuang, were lucky to have the great battlefield of the western regions. Like Zhonglang generals in the South and the East, they lacked opportunities to obtain meritorious service, and their official positions and titles were not promoted.

"This is my first time at sea." What is the simultaneous interpreting of Qian Jian and Fu Wei? When he came to Fu Wei's side, he said with emotion, "the sea is as vast as a rumor."

Fu Wei is going to take office, and Qian Jiantong is going to take office, but one final location is Malacca, and the other is going to Fahrenheit city.

Not only them, there was another capital guard on board, that is, the capital guard of Annan's capital guard house.

They all went back to Chang'an to accept official positions and went through the procedure to get their official robes and related printed ribbons and tiger amulets.

To travel from the mainland of the Han Empire to Malacca, pingman city and Fahrenheit City, although all three places can be reached by land, sea is the most convenient way.

To go to the peaceful city of Malacca, you have to enter the primitive jungle in the southwest, climb mountains and mountains, and go to a ghost place full of poisonous insects, beasts and miasma.

To go to Fahrenheit city from the mainland of the Han Empire, or go to the western regions and then turn south, you need to pass through seven or eight countries, including hunit, tidoro Dynasty, youdhia, etc; Or choose to go to the plateau, read the world's first peak and enter the A3 boundary.

Taking the land route will not be the best choice. Without mentioning the danger, the time spent alone can not be sure.

The sea route is different. You can take a boat from Jiaozhou Bay or Jingkou. You can cross the Yizhou Strait all the way and then enter the rising sea (South China Sea). Fu Wei can land in Malacca. Si Hongzhuang can land in the A3 ocean through Malacca. Qian Jiantong also needs to sail through the southwest Bay (Bay of Bengal) to land.

If you travel by sea in the monsoon season, it will take more than a month from Jingkou to Malacca, and it will only take about two months to reach ketak on the other side of ah San.

Without the convenience of monsoon, it usually takes twice to twice as long, but it is still much faster than taking land.

All three protect the same ship. If something happens, it won't happen if the hostile Navy comes to fight. No one can control the weather disaster. It's time for the Han Empire to choose another person to protect the ship.

The center did not warn, they were aware of it, but no one had much worry.

"I know what you're thinking." Fu Wei has a full sense of superiority over Qian Jiantong who took the boat for the first time: "the big ship under our feet is the latest style of gunboat. Her hull is 170 meters long, 42 meters wide and 9 meters deep. It's not too much to be called a mobile sea fortress!"

Liu Yan has provided the Navy with the concept of tonnage, but most people still recognize ships based on intuitive length, width and water depth.

As the flagship of the Nanyang capital guard, it started in the 11th year of Yuanshuo and was launched at the beginning of this year. After three months of trial voyage, it was supposed to be delivered to the Navy, but at that time, the center was already discussing the division of the capital guard, and the delivery was delayed.

The center named this giant ship "Linzi". She is now a well deserved sea giant ship, and no ship is at the same level.

Fu Wei can understand naming warships after the city, but he really doesn't understand how to choose Linzi.

There are now three super cities in the Han Empire, namely Chang'an, Jiankang and Linzi. The first sea giant ship is to serve in Nanyang. Many people think it is appropriate to name it "Jiankang".

At the beginning, the center really wanted to be named "Jiankang", followed by Liu Yan's direct intervention, and finally decided to be named "Linzi", but like Fu Wei, no one knows why Liu Yan made that choice.

Liu Yan will have that choice. In fact, there is no other choice. If there is a super big city in Liaodong, he will choose a big city in Liaodong to name the new giant ship. The key is that there is no one in Liaodong.

Liu Yan didn't need to explain this kind of "interest" to anyone. He simply named the new giant ship "Linzi" because there was no super city in Liaodong and Linzi was close to there.

"The Navy establishment of the tianzhudu protectorate has no gunships, and the scale of ships for operational purposes is only 320." Qian Jiantong looked at Fu Wei jealously and said, "the Nanyang capital guard house has 80% of the original gunships alone, and there is such a huge ship, with a ship scale of more than 2000."

Fu Wei is also jealous that there are three standing armies in Tianzhu Prefecture.

They had only one standing army under the Nanyang Prefecture guard, but they were divided into three divisions, which were stationed in various stations, and then were divided sporadically. The largest station is two songs. Who are you crying to?

"It's the same capital protector, and there are at least countries around the Tianzhu capital protector..." Fu Weisi made no secret of her jealousy: "the big man must fight the whole a'san continent."

Qian Jiantong thinks so. He is a little pitiful to Fu Wei. There are no countries around Nanyang. There are seas and islands. Even if he makes contributions to the discovery of new islands, can he compare with military achievements? For one thing, he is not a marquis now, but Fu Wei is already a marquis.

"What are you talking about?" Si Hongzhuang went to the bridge first and came when he saw two people in the bow. He kept looking at the ships around the flagship and said with emotion: "in less than eight years, the big man has a navy of this scale."

The two people who were still talking didn't know what kind of mood they were in. They looked at Si Hongzhuang with stingy eyes.

There are many countries around the Tianzhu protectorate. The Nanyang protectorate has the task of exploring the sea, and the Annan protectorate is the role they wrapped in the middle.

What can Annan do? It's probably to touch the mountains and forests to catch savages, and then to monitor the fiefs of various families. There's really nothing else to do.

Si Hongzhuang was a little uncomfortable by their eyes. At the beginning, he didn't understand what it was because of. He looked back and said carelessly: "it will be a long time before the local grain producing areas of the Han Dynasty take shape. Before that, the area under the nanmandu protectorate was the largest grain producing area for transporting grain to the local region. If the two local grain producing areas take shape, will their status decline?"

In terms of the area, the Annan protectorate is the largest of the four major protectorates at present. In terms of area alone, it is almost one-fifth the size of the mainland.

Because of the equatorial relationship, the other side has also been developed by those families for many years, and has always undertaken the major responsibility of transporting food for the mainland. To say, its political status is not low at all.

There is no one to fight against. It's nothing at all for Annan's protectors. Si Hongzhuang also knows what kind of task he takes as the protectors of Annan's protectors. Ensuring food transportation is the primary task. The next thing is to keep an eye on those families.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the important task of transporting food to the mainland under the jurisdiction of Annan's protectorate, Si Hongzhuang knows that even if he has done nothing, waiting for his term of office to be transferred back to China, a post of minister will never run away.

"There are also grain producing areas in Tianzhu Prefecture..." Qian Jiantong didn't want to quarrel with Si Hongzhuang, with full vision: "I heard that the output of the Ganges River Basin and the Indus River basin can feed 100 million people?"

At this moment, Fu Weixin stopped.

The Han Empire has issued a series of national policies to encourage fertility. Only idiots don't realize what that means to some extent.

In order to increase the population, the environment is generally in peace, which is not the first factor. In fact, the most important thing is to ensure adequate food.

Whether in recent years or for a long time to come, where can provide a large amount of food, then the political status will not be shaken.

"There is seafood in the sea." Si Hongzhuang smiled and said to Fu Wei, "when you explore the sea, fishing is also an input."

Fu Wei rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Fishing at sea has long been no stranger to the Han people. The Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the rising sea... Even farther away, can there be less Han fishing boats in the fishing season?

"It's not that there's nothing to do except fishing." Qian Jiantong felt that in the future, he still needed the Nanyang capital guard to provide maritime support. He would not learn from Si Hongzhuang to attack Fu Wei. He said, "didn't the exploration team find copper in Luzon? The Han Dynasty has always been short of copper. You can start with this."

Fu Wei rolled his eyes again. Can he still not know that Luzon has been explored into a super giant copper mine?

It's one thing to have a copper mine, and it's another thing to whom to manage it. Fu Wei, as the protector of Nanyang Prefecture, has been told that it will belong to the Shaofu Prefecture, or he'll be depressed.

"Don't be complacent." Fu Wei hid his depression and pretended to be very excited: "we will find Nanchan Buzhou. Then you want to compare the credit with me?"
