Chapter 652 Emperor Wu of the Han Confronts Overlord of Western Chu

Ouyang Shuo's letter was sent to Shanhai City, causing a lot of waves.

After reading the letter, Xiao He and other ministers looked excited. Undoubtedly, after leading his troops to capture the star country, the ocean-going fleet led by Junhou won another key battle and achieved fruitful results.

"Since when did the territory's influence spread across the world?"

No one can answer this question definitively, but they can all truly feel that Shanhai City is actually making steady progress towards "the most influential territory in the world".

Before the ocean-going fleet went to sea, the world in the eyes of Xiao He and other literati was the vast land of China. It was only when the ocean-going fleets received good news that they woke up. It turned out that the "world" is so vast.

Ambition and ambition, ignite again!

"We can't hold back either." Xiao He sighed with emotion.

Sitting opposite Xiao He was Zhang Tingyu, Director of Civil Affairs. Xiao He was able to chat with Zhang Tingyu so heart-to-heart, which showed that the Director of Civil Affairs had completely integrated into the circle of the Southern Border Protectorate.

The two worked together for several months, and Xiao He really admired Zhang Tingyu. This quiet colleague not only has rich experience in government affairs, but also has unique insights. When faced with some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he often speaks to the point.

What's even more rare is that Zhang Tingyu is humble and never competes with others. When he disagrees with the other party's point of view, he will not immediately refute, but smile lightly.

It is such a smile that often brings great pressure to the other party. In many cases, Zhang Tingyu didn't need to argue, and the other party directly surrendered.

"Director Zhang's smile" once became one of the major killers of the Protectorate.

Perhaps it was because we were in a special era like the Qing Dynasty, where the Chinese, Manchu and Han ministers were fighting everywhere, and there were thorns all over the place. The biggest characteristic of Zhang Tingyu's handling of government affairs is that he is stable and can coordinate the interests of all parties well.

This is especially praised by Xiao He.

Unlike Zhang Tingyu, Xiao He has both the name and the reality of a prime minister in history.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He was the veritable number one minister in the court. His power made the prime ministers of later generations sigh with emotion, wishing to be born in such a beautiful age.

This also allowed Xiao He to develop a shortcoming, that is, he likes to be arbitrary. If it was in the Han Dynasty, such shortcomings would be harmless, after all, no one could compete with Xiao He.

But now in Shanhai City, not to mention the lord and hero, he is a master who is rare in the world.

It is a group of officials in the territory, especially the other three directors, which one is not a famous minister in the world? ! The lineup of the Southern Border Protectorate is several times more luxurious than that of the Han Dynasty.

Furthermore, the important ministers in Shanhai City are basically on the same starting line, and no one has any merits in support or founding meritorious deeds. How can Xiao He's prestige in Shanhai City be compared with that of the Han Dynasty? !

It was so inevitable that there would be some small frictions between Xiao He, Fan Li, Wei Yang and other directors due to disagreements. Especially when Jun Hou is not in Shanhai City, the situation is even worse.

At this time, Zhang Tingyu is the best lubricant, able to coordinate the contradictions of the four departments very well.

The cooperation between the two can be described as close.

...

Hearing Xiao He's emotion, Zhang Tingyu smiled and didn't answer, turned around and took out a list of officials, and began to brew and discuss with Xiao He the list of officials to be transferred to Friendship City.

Since the lord has ordered it emphatically, the two of them naturally have to treat it seriously.

The general process of selecting and dispatching officials in a territory is that the Office of Officials first draws up a demand plan for officials, and then submits it to the Four Major Administrations for recommendation, and then the Office of Officials conducts a screening.

Officials from the county magistrate are directly decided by the director of administration, Xiao He. For officials above the county magistrate, Xiao He needs to call the other three directors to discuss and decide together.

It can be seen that Xiao He and Zhang Tingyu have the most say in the appointment of officials. Under normal circumstances, even Ouyang Shuo would respect the decision-making of the Office of Officials and would not interfere recklessly, maintaining the authority of the Office of Officials.

In addition to the Administration Department, the three major intelligence agencies, including Honglu Temple, have similar talks.

On the day when the secret letter was received, Shanhai City started operating quickly. In less than three days, the recruitment of personnel was completed, and the second ocean-going fleet officially set sail.

There are more than 200 merchant ships traveling together this time.

There is no doubt that they will be the first batch of people to eat crabs in the territory, or even in the ocean trade in China. If all goes well, it will create wealth myths of getting rich overnight.

*************

During the period when Ouyang Shuo went to sea, the China region was not peaceful.

First, after the ice and snow melted, Chunshenjun, Piaolinghuan, Dichen and others tried to expand their influence to the Central Plains province and take over the land left by the Zhang Chu regime that was wiped out last winter.

He even said that he wanted to capture Chen County in one fell swoop and completely wipe out the Chen Sheng uprising army group.

At this moment, the situation changed suddenly.

Chen Sheng, who had lived for a whole winter, died suddenly. Xiang Yan, who was stationed in Chen County, took over Chen County and blatantly brought a county around Chen County under the rule of the Western Chu regime.

Xichu, who had been dormant for more than half a year, finally showed his fangs.

Chen Sheng's sudden death, Xiang Yan's decisiveness, everything seemed unusual.

At the same time, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, personally led his troops to the Northern Expedition, intending to annihilate the [Ludong city-state] in one fell swoop, occupy the entire territory of Eastern Lu Province, and lay an immortal foundation for Western Chu in the wilderness.

In this way, the land of the Central Plains was once again filled with gunpowder.

The most chaotic one is the Central Plains Province. After Western Chu suddenly intervened, Di Chen and the others had doubts about what Chu Overlord Xiang Yu thought about other territories in the Central Plains Province.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had just entered Luoyang City, made a move.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly announced that a county around Luoyang would be brought under the rule of Luoyang Wangcheng, and any foreign lords were prohibited from getting involved. At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very dissatisfied with Xiang Yan's occupation of Chen County.

The battle between Chu and Han was staged again in the wilderness.

The province of the Central Plains suddenly became a place where the two giants confronted each other, with undercurrents surging.

This made Dichen and the others even more terrified and in a dilemma. On the contrary, Feng Prisonhuang led his troops to withdraw from the Central Plains province very simply, and made it clear that he did not plan to get involved in it any more.

Feng Prison Huang's strategic goal is to strive for the unification of Taiyuan Province in Gaia for three years.

In fact, it is not only Feng Qiuhuang who has this ambition.

Gaia has owned a province for three years, and it seems that she has become the first choice for the giants. After all, with the dazzling achievements of Shanhai City in front of them, it is too shabby to occupy a county.

Dichen and the others are exerting their strength and starting to be aggressive, constantly attacking the city and occupying the territory, trying their best to expand the territory of the territory. The China area is full of gunpowder and wars, and the peaceful pattern is once again completely broken.

The others are fine, but the weirdest one is the Kansai province.

Because of a Kansai province, there are two "giants" of Shapojun and Piaolinghuan. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the battle between the two will become increasingly fierce in Gaia's three years.

In the end, one person must be eliminated.

...

In addition to the Central Plains and the northern land, the southern region is also not peaceful.

After the Huangchao uprising army was wiped out by Zhanlang and Xiongba, the southern province of Anhui once again fell into chaos. There are forces supported by Wolf Warriors, Xiongba and others, as well as newly rising families.

Yes, it is the family. The aristocratic families in the south continued to appear in the wilderness and began to participate in the competition in the wilderness. The Southern Anhui Province, which is in a gap period, is naturally the best choice.

In the end, it was a mess.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the competition for Yizhou Island.

After Shanhai City captured Xingguo, the coastal lords realized the strategic role of the navy. In this way, Yizhou Island, which had been hanging alone overseas, immediately entered the field of vision of the lord player.

Such an important strategic location is still barren.

The lords realized it all at once, and their eyes suddenly became hot. Among them, the most powerful contenders are Xiong Ba and Xun Long Dian Acupuncture.

Of the two of them, one occupies Jiangnan Province and the other occupies Southern Fujian Province.

Since there is contention, war is inevitable.

After all, no one is a gentleman, and will voluntarily give up this piece of fat.

Just a month ago, the navies of Overlord City and Xunlong City had a battle at sea. In the end, Xunlong City relied on the warships previously supported by Shanhai City to win by a narrow margin.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, the situation suddenly changed again.

After Xiongba's defeat, he did not give up, led a navy, quietly detoured, and landed on the east coast of Yizhou Island. As for the landing site of Dragon Search City, they chose the west bank which is closer to the coast.

As a result, the two territorial armies began to shift from naval confrontation to land combat on the island. Until now, the battle situation is still in a stalemate.

During this battle, because they did not receive instructions from Ouyang Shuo, Shanhai City remained silent.

In China, where gunpowder is everywhere, Shanhai City is eerily calm. The three major armies of the territory, all of them are training silently in their respective jurisdictions. The only activity is the military competition.

The main tone of Shanhai City at this time is development and construction.

Millions of dollars have been invested, and the infrastructure construction of the territory is advancing at lightning speed. Under the organization of Su Zhe, basic education and basic medical care are also developing in an orderly manner.

Territory trade is constantly setting new records.

Shanhai City is working hard, resting and recuperating, practicing internal skills, constantly consolidating the foundation of the territory, deepening the foundation of the territory, and accumulating enough strength for the next big outbreak.

The silence at this moment is just to surprise the world again in the future.

It has to be said that Shanhai City is really "unique", and it can be described as thriving in China.

Of course, the premise is that the ocean-going fleet is not counted.

The ocean-going fleet, which has been out to sea for less than a few months, has often made big news, constantly reminding Di Chen and others who are still fighting desperately in China that their opponents have not really stopped.

In this way, it is full of motivation.

If Ouyang Shuo knew that even if he traveled far away, he could still spur the lords in the country, I don't know how he would feel, maybe he would just smile a little.
