I’m The King

Zao Wou-ki was very angry. In a short period of time, he had dropped a few cups in succession, pacing around the house like a sleepy beast, his eyes were so round and scary that he seemed to choose someone to eat. .

Zao Wou-ki has no reason not to be angry. As the lord of the kingdom of Zhao, he humbly came to Jicheng and bowed his head to Gao Yuan, a nouveau riche. Yes, in Zao Wou-ki's heart, Gao Yuan was a nouveau riche. In his heart, Even if Zhao Guo is facing difficulties now and has fallen, shouldn't Gao Yuan give him the etiquette that a king should have?

He sent a book of courtesy, left himself in the post, and then ran away in a hurry.This kind of naked humiliation made Zao Wou-ki almost want to flick his sleeves and leave Jicheng.

Just when Zao Wou-ki thought about it and became more angry, Zhou Changshou hurried in.

"My lord, I've heard!" Zhou Changshou said: "The person I sent out has returned. Today, there happened to be an expedition team from the Dahan Kingdom. This team has been on the expedition for two years."

"Two years on the expedition? Where did they go?" Zao Wuji was taken aback. He never thought that Gao Yuan had sent an expedition team despite the fact that he had not stopped fighting for these years.

"Overseas!" Zhou Changshou's face was solemn." The Great Han Kingdom sent an expedition team of thousands of people and sailed out to sea on hundreds of ships. It has been more than two years since this trip. They just returned to Jicheng today, and they won a big victory. And Gui, brought countless trophies, including dozens of large monsters that we have not seen."

Zao Wou-ki sat down slowly, and the hostility on his face disappeared a lot in a blink of an eye, "Changshou, you have friendship with many generals in the Han army, you can ask again, when will Han Wang see me? "

"Yes, the minister understands!" Zhou Changshou bowed, walked a few steps, and then stopped again. "The king, Da Zhao is in a bad situation now, the king still..."

"Go, I understand." Zao Wou-ki sighed and waved his hand to signal Zhou Changshou to leave. "I hope to see King Han as soon as possible. Now you and I have both left Handan. Yang Shu and Meng Guang used to have too low positions. I'm worried that they won't be able to suppress the scene."

"Don't worry, Wang Shang, I'll go find a way right away!" Zhou Changshou nodded repeatedly.

And when Zhao Wang and Zao Wou-ki were angry, entangled, worried, fearful, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together, eating no food, and having trouble sleeping, Kou Shuguang was sitting in the palace of Qinzheng where Gao Yuan usually criticized and read official documents. Gao Yuan and several Yizheng reported some things that were not suitable to be said at the Great Court.

At the Great Dynasty Meeting, Kou Shuguang offered things for face, for example, dozens of horse-drawn carriages of gold and silver, a full of millions of taels of silver, almost turned the Hubu Shangshu over to Le on the spot, high-end estimates. At that time, Wang Wudi's blood was on her head and her face was red, her blood pressure at least soared to more than two hundred, but in this era, everyone definitely didn't know what blood pressure was.

Except for the silver, the animals that are not in the Central Plains, and the places where they fought on the road, some so-called kings expressed their surrender. But for these, Gao Yuan dismissed it. The letter of credence sent by the people on the island or even with several kings on the island is really worthless. He can't beat you and express surrender to you. Once you leave, he will do his own thing and be capricious, but he can't take it seriously. .

However, many officials in the court care about this very much.Even Jiang Jiaquan is smiling.

After the face-saving work is done, the dynasty will dissipate, and Kou Shuguang has come to this Qinzheng Palace where Gao Yuan usually works, which is what Gao Yuan really values.

"How many people were killed along the way?" Kou Shuguang, who had a lot of iron and blood on his body, asked Gao Yuan. Kou Shuguang used to be a general of the Supervision Institute, because he had some knowledge of naval masters, he was assigned at the beginning. When he arrived at Zhou Yuan's hometown in Fenzhou, he formed a navy and became the first navy leader.At that time, he had not been on the battlefield, and naturally he did not have the murderous aura that can be accumulated on the battlefield.

Kou Shuguang smiled, "In the past, Li Yizheng was mainly engaged in business, and sometimes they had to be bullied by them. We started to set them off. We first docked with real merchant ships. When the natives thought they bullied us as they did in previous years, the warships would appear, land, and then iron and blood.” He looked up and thought about it. ,"Not too much, there will always be more than one hundred thousand people!"

As soon as he said this, several discussants took a breath. You know, Kou Shuguang only took 3,000 people out. In the past two years, they killed more than 100,000 people. On average, wouldn't it be going to sea? Everyone in has dozens of lives in his hands.

"Aquan..." Li Can on one side stammered a bit. When Li Quan was at home, he was just a scholar.

Kou Shuguang laughed. "Li Quan was a little uncomfortable at first, but as we went further and further, the casualties of the troops became more and more serious. He also had to carry a knife to battle, and beheaded for the first time. After the enemy, he lay on the boat for three full days, vomiting faintly, but he just got over it. Later, he killed more people than me."

The muscles on Li Can's face twitched, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

"A little more!" Gao Yuan let out a foul breath. "There shouldn't be many people on those island countries. Wouldn't some of them let you kill them?"

"There are also several extinctions. They are mainly stubborn to the end, unwilling to surrender, or cause us heavy casualties. In fact, the biggest kills are not in the island countries along the way, but in the end we found what the king said. The Fusang place in Fusang is bigger and denser. As the king said, this place is rich in gold and silver. At first we still wanted to trade normally, but the people here are very cunning and cruel, and they actually want to hit our minds. , Then we are not polite. I only left a few hundred people guarding the ship, and brought two thousand soldiers and some servants who had been conquered along the way to the shore. Where, we have fought with them for more than a year."

"Kill them all down?" Jiang Jiaquan asked.

"How is that possible?" Kou Shuguang smiled: "We are only two to three thousand people, but we defeated all the people in the southern part of Fusang, and then we helped some puppets to come to power and fight the northern part, precisely because of this. , It took too much time and made the king worried."

"What you did in Fusang is more correct. There are more people on this island, and they have their own traditions and culture. They can't kill them by killing them. Help a group, hit a group, and let them be in the process of internal consumption. Gradually consume power. This is a big strategy. When you turn back, you will discuss it with the Godsend of the Supervision Institute. We must control this island."

"Yes, the king, the subordinates will go to Dean Cao when they turn their heads." Kou Shuguang nodded.

"By the way, did you find the kind of tree I asked you to find?" Gao Yuan asked.

"I found it, the kind of rubber tree the king said. We had this kind of tree on an island. The natives on this island cut the bark and sap from this tree. The juice became a kind of soft leather-like thing, and it was still very strong. This time, we brought back a lot of this kind of leather, and also brought the best craftsman on the island to make this kind of thing. come back."

"How many of these things did you bring back?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Because the king values ​​this thing very much, so I installed a whole ship, this thing is not a rare thing with them." Kou Shuguang smiled.

"It's not rare, let's see where he used it!" Gao Yuan laughed, rubber tree, I found this thing, there are many places that can be used, not to mention anything else, only the carriage of the Great Han Kingdom is driving. Above speed, it will take a higher level. With the rapid development of the Dahanwang industry, new biological parts such as balls, tired shafts, bending shafts, and pulleys are bringing Dahan's military industry to a new stage, especially in transportation. On the road, the speed of the carriage has repeatedly increased with the appearance of these things. The only shortcoming is the wheels, whether they are made of iron or wood, they are too easy to damage. Now that they have found rubber, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look forward to installing tires. A scene of a horse-drawn carriage galloping on the gallop.

"My lord, I have inquired that this kind of tree cannot be planted in our place because of the climate, so I broke the idea of ​​bringing the plant back to transplant." Kou Shuguang explained.

"I know!" Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Are there many people planting this kind of tree over there?"

"Not much!" Kou Shuguang said: "We searched a lot of islands, and only found this kind of tree on two or three small islands."

"The next time you go, I hope there will be more places to plant this kind of tree. I think it won't be long before our demand for this kind of thing will reach a terrifying amount. Remember those natives Plant as much as possible, and we will purchase as much as we harvest, so that people there feel that it is profitable to plant this kind of tree, so as to attract more people to plant rubber trees."

"This is something that kills two birds with one stone!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said: "When all the people over there are planting this kind of tree, then they will not have more people to grow food, and they will not produce the necessities of life. So where did these things come from? Naturally, we shipped them and sold them. We collected their rubber and paid for it, but they eventually returned the money to us."

"With your people, spend a few days in Jicheng, and then let them have their long vacation. There is still a lot of time before the next trip to sea. Let the brothers relax. Next time you set off, the boat The training will be doubled, and the army will be doubled. Shuguang, the place you reach is far from the end of the sea. I hope you can go further." Gao Yuan stood up and patted in front of Kou Shuguang. His shoulders. (to be continued)
