Chapter 166
Chapter 166
In history, although Daqin had a sailor, it was more like a logistics transport fleet, only responsible for transporting grain, and did not participate in direct combat.
The boats needed were all built temporarily, and the boatmen collected them directly from the people.
After the end of the war, the recruited boatmen would return to the village, and most of the boats were left unmaintained and quickly damaged.
Previously, Fusu spent a lot of effort in order to recruit the operators of the five-tooth giant ship.
However, fortunately, Daqin is a centralized system, and there are no rules and regulations for the prohibition of the sea, and if you want to prosper the development of the sea, you only need to let the people understand the benefits of opening the sea.
Not to mention, when the sailor goes out to sea for training, he only needs to carry out a fishing by the way, bring back a large number of sea fish, plus the publicity of the newspaper, it is enough to shake the entire Daqin.
Merchants who see business opportunities will naturally flock in, and various shipyards and fishing teams will follow suit.
The influx of marine fish, while allowing merchants to earn enough money, will also reduce the fish and shrimp on the market to a low enough price for ordinary people to eat.
After the people can consume, the demand will increase, and the enthusiasm for fishing will be higher, forming a virtuous circle.
In the end, the merchants made money, the people had cheap fish and shrimp to eat, their lives improved, and the imperial court could collect taxes to the delight.
And Fusu can also guide the Great Qin people out of the near sea and march to the far sea on this basis.
Finally opened, exclusive to Daqin, the Age of Discovery.
"I can't imagine that there are so many benefits in this sea!"
Ying Zheng said with a look of relief: "Fusu, you have taught your father another lesson in this ocean!"
With a wave of his hand, Ying Zheng continued to be the shopkeeper as always.
Anyway, the future of Daqin belongs to Fusu, and it is just right to temper Fusu.
Ying Zheng only needs to wait to see Ne Shi Teng cheerfully report that the treasury revenue has increased again.
In the way of employing people, Yingzheng has always been very decisive.
Suspicious people don't need it, suspicious people don't need it, this is the fundamental reason why the entire Great Qin Dynasty inside and outside the court, the whole army, is completely focused on Yingzheng.
The first emperor's belly and wisdom in employing people are definitely at the level of the first emperor of the ages.
......
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Fusu began to sort out the plan of Daqin to open the sea.
With the efforts of Fusu, today's Great Qin, the prosperous era has quietly come, after successively defeating the Xiongnu and the Dayue clan and Donghu, it has become the world's first military power without a doubt, with the continuous development of commerce, the comprehensive strength has gradually opened up with other empires.
In this era, it can be compared with the Great Qin, that is, the Mauryan Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Alexander Empire split to form Macedonia and other kingdoms, and the Carthaginian Dynasty.
Among them, the Peacock Dynasty has the largest population, but its combat effectiveness is the weakest, and it is still in the midst of civil strife, just one Donghu is enough to make the Peacock Dynasty anxious, not to mention that Zhang Liang and Han Xin are already on the way to Donghu to supervise the war.
With these two historical-level sages and soldiers, Fusu basically doesn't need to worry too much in the direction of the Peacock Dynasty.
Alexander's empire, since Alexander's death, has also fallen into a long period of civil strife, divided into several major powers, among which the Macedonian kingdom is the most powerful, but due to the expansion in Illyria and Asia Minor, there have been many conflicts with the Roman Empire, and now it is in the first Roman-Macedonian war, both sides invested a large number of troops, but failed to achieve a decisive victory.
The Carthaginian Dynasty, which originated in the Mediterranean, relied on its monopoly on the maritime trade in the western Mediterranean, occupied many city-states on the edge of the Mediterranean, and had an extremely strong navy, and now it is also at war with the Roman Empire for maritime trade.
According to Fusu's memory, in a few decades, the Macedonian Kingdom and the Carthaginian Dynasty will be destroyed by the Roman Empire and enter the heyday of the Roman Empire.
And this is the best opportunity for Fusu.
Don't look at the fact that the Roman Empire was finally victorious in history and entered its heyday, but the Romans, who are currently at war on both fronts and have suffered heavy losses on both fronts, are actually struggling with each other.
Moreover, these Western powers were still in the period of slavery, more like an alliance of city-states, a bit similar to the Xiongnu kingdoms on the steppe before, all supported by the prestige of the monarch.
If it really starts, this kind of loose city-state alliance is definitely not the opponent of the centralized and united Great Qin.
It's just that in history, Daqin II died, and then Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, abandoned his martial arts and was overwhelmed by the Huns, so he missed this best opportunity to expand westward.
Now, due to the Fusu reason, the grassland threat no longer exists, and the caravan of Great Qin has followed the Silk Road opened in advance all the way to the west, and the farthest has crossed the Mauryan Empire and entered the Seleucid Empire created by Seleucus, Alexander the Great's subordinate Seleucus after the division of the Alexander Empire.
According to the pigeon's report, Antiochus III was shocked by the existence of such a powerful empire in the East, and had made up his mind to ask for help from Daqin after repeated battles with Rome, and the envoy led by Prince Seleucus IV was already on his way to Xianyang City.
This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Fusu.
It is possible to better understand the opponent and better consume the strength of Western countries.
Anyway, with Donghu, the biggest cannon fodder, Fusu is not worried about losses at all.
And Zhang Liang and Han Xin, the golden partners, can also get more experience and enter their peak state earlier.
This also reminded Fusu that Daqin could no longer miss the opportunity to open the sea.
Fortunately, the first batch of five-tooth giant ships are about to be launched, which is converted into about five or six hundred tons in later generations, and the five-tooth giant ships that have been systematically optimized to improve their speed and navigation performance are definitely giants on the sea, and with the catapult and the god arm crossbow, they can definitely make the navies of Rome and Carthage fearful.
Moreover, these Western powers are also the best targets for Great Qin to trade.
The Silk Road opened up in advance, as well as the Maritime Silk Road that Fusu is planning, will inevitably become a source of profit for Daqin.
"Whether it is interests or the fulfillment of the great dream of the empire on which the sun never sets, the sea is the focus that Great Qin must conquer, if one day, there are 10,000 giant ships sailing freely on the sea, and the whole world will belong to Great Qin!"
Fusu writes an uplifting sentence at the end of the volume as a conclusion.
"Your Highness, why haven't you rested, what are you writing?
Yushu walked in early with a plate and said prettyly.
Fusu realized that it was already dawn, and he actually wrote all night.
"Would you like to take a look at what you have to say about the sea?"
Fusu smiled.
"Hmm!"
Yu Shuqian sat down beside Fusu, opened the manuscript and began to read.
After reading two pages, Yu Shu exclaimed: "It turns out that we actually live on a round ball, and there are so many powerful countries. "
Yushu's heart has already been completely tied to Fusu, and he has great trust in what Fusu said, and there is a hint of worship in his big eyes.
"Today's Daqin is already in a leading position, although these countries have good military strength, but the culture and economy are much worse than ours. "
Fusu smiled proudly.
With him, Daqin's comprehensive strength is definitely outstanding.
This must be a, belonging to Daqin, the best era!
