    At this moment, Zen Master Hongye and Zhang Lu both believed that Liu Zhang was really the reincarnation of the Red Emperor.

    Liu Zhang directly placed a curse on his descendants. Regarding opium, Liu Zhang did not hesitate to curse himself and his descendants, because this was indeed unreasonable. This curse was meant to be left to his descendants to wake them up, and it must not be allowed to happen.  Opium appeared in Han Dynasty.

    "Not only will my Liu family be punished by God, but the people of the Han Dynasty will also suffer great disasters. Therefore, holy objects cannot appear in the Han Dynasty. If anyone wants the descendants of my Liu family and the people of the Han Dynasty to be punished by God, I and my descendants will never show mercy.

    During my lifetime, Liu Zhang, whoever distributed "sacred objects" to the common people of the Han Dynasty would be killed by the whole family or even the entire clan. Monks and foreigners were no exception, no matter how far away they were, they would be killed.

    I will also pass on this prohibition, the two masters must remember it.  "

    "Remember it."

    "Amitabha."

    Zhang Lu and Zen Master Hongye made their solemn promises at the same time.

    Liu Zhang nodded slowly.

    In fact, Liu Zhang had never worried that opium could not be promoted in the Japanese slave country. Even if Buddhists and Taoists did not bring it to the Japanese slave country in the form of "sacred objects", as long as someone in the past discovered the addictive effects of opium, it would definitely become popular.

    During the Ming Dynasty, opium was introduced to the Ming Dynasty as a tribute, and soon became an item used by the emperor. The emperor relied on it for fun and entertainment, and even took it as a lip medicine, making him feel like he was in a fairyland.

    In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, smoking cigarettes while playing with women became a high-end enjoyment for the nobles.

    As long as someone tried this kind of thing, people would follow one after another. It was just because Liu Zhang needed to get results as soon as possible to implement the next strategy, so he used the spread of Buddhism and Taoism.

    Opium is Pandora's box, but if Liu Zhang doesn't open it, someone will open it. If he doesn't open it now, someone will open it in the future, unless Liu Zhang can now lead his troops to the Mediterranean to exterminate the poppy, a plant with strong adaptability.

    Since this magic box will definitely be opened, why didn¡¯t the big man become the president of the East India Company, but let the ignorant and ignorant future generations eventually become victims of the Qing Empire?

    What¡¯s more, after opium takes effect quickly, Liu Zhang¡¯s next strategy will at least make the rulers of the Han Dynasty realize the horror of opium.

    The Wonu Kingdom is very rich in silver and gold mines, and opium can turn all Japanese into slaves. When a large amount of gold and silver are imported into the Han Dynasty, when the people of the Han Dynasty see the benefits of opium, they should also realize the disadvantages of opium, right?

    By that time, Liu Zhang will announce a ban to the world, prohibiting the entry of all derivatives of opium poppy, and at the same time popularize the disadvantages of opium poppy. Liu Zhang, a desperate speculator, cannot avoid it, but hasn't it also entered the mature period of banning smoking?

    With the tragedy of the Japanese slave country in front of us, at least we won't be as ignorant as the Ming emperor and the late Qing aristocrats, right?

    At that time, the Japanese slave country was deeply planted with opium, and the whole country was corrupted. It could not resist the Han Dynasty with force, so it could only continue to be enslaved. When the Han Dynasty's maritime transportation developed, the country's radiation power became stronger, and the Japanese slave country nominally belonged to the Han Dynasty.  , it is not impossible to completely become the territory of the Han Dynasty.

    "The Buddhism of karma, Taoism of purity of mind, and opium, if these can't destroy you from the bud, then it's unjustifiable."

    Liu Zhang knew that he took such measures when the Japanese slave country was still a barbaric period. It was a bit extreme and seemed more neurotic to people in the world. However, Liu Zhang would still do it. People from later generations will have different impressions of the Japanese slave country in their emotions.  It must be different.

    But what Liu Zhang didn't expect was that after this communication, Liu Zhang presented Hongye Zen Master as the reincarnation of the Red Emperor. The news of Zhang Tianshi's holy fruit spread like wildfire. Everyone thought of the original proverb "The reincarnation of the Red Emperor is destined to be the king." Liu Zhang's  Prestige reaches a new peak.

    What Liu Zhang didn¡¯t expect was that his original move to deal with Japan would usher in the glorious era of navigation for the Han Dynasty, which could also be said to be the era of colonization.

    As for the remote Japanese slave country that wanted to be incorporated into its territory, later Han people never doubted that it was Han territory, and its status was crucial because it was the largest starting base for the colonial fleet on the ocean.

    ¡­¡­

    Everything is going step by step. Fatty Jin¡¯s poppies are planted in Siyang County. Beautiful poppy flowers are blooming in every plantation. The army is closely guarding them. No one outside knows what is being done in Siyang County.

    This is just a temporary planting base for Liu Zhang, just to provide the missionaries with the first batch of opium. The future planting base will never be in Dahan.

    The lips were opened, and the first batch of rattan armor was produced. Within half a year, the rattan armor was produced in batches. At the same time, the 40,000 rattan armor made by soaking were formed. Liu Zhang selected 40,000 elite soldiers to dress and train, and the 10,000 rattan armor produced later were sealed in the treasury for future use.  .

    ? 20,000 long-range compound bows were produced, forming a force of 20,000 horse archersli arms, Su Lan integrated the original archers into the new unit to serve as generals and trained them personally.

    Strong crossbowmen, single-shot sniper crossbowmen, and strong archers have all entered the training stage.

    The Dayuan horses from the Western Regions were transported back through the post station, and the loss rate was far lower than Liu Zhang expected. The Dayuan horses were originally thousand-mile horses. Emperor Xiaowu could not transport the Dayuan horses back through the Xiongnu grasslands, but could only go through the hinterland of the Western Regions with complex terrain. Of course, the losses  a lot of.

    But returning from the northern grasslands of the Western Regions, the losses were minimal. Liu Zhang even thought that even if there was no post station, these Dawan horses should be able to be transported back.

    However, Liu Zhang has no intention of abandoning those stations. Even if all the Dawan horses are brought back, he will never abandon them. Those stations can effectively control the Western Regions and even threaten the Kushan Empire. Not only will they not be abandoned, Liu Zhang plans to expand them again when funds are abundant.  .

    The Dayuan horses formed a powerful light cavalry, and Liu Zhang assigned them to Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Wang Shuang and other cavalry generals for training. The galloping momentum of the Dayuan horses shocked the elite cavalry who participated in the training.

    The heavy cavalry expanded to 20,000 people, and veteran Huang Zhong trained on 5,000 heavy cavalry.

    Various arms are ready to fight, just waiting for the war to break out.

    Red potatoes and pumpkins were harvested, but the government did not pay compensation for production reductions because they were not needed.

    Farmers began to worry that these crops would not yield any profits. After all, their livelihoods were at stake and they were unwilling to try planting new crops. It was not until the government promised to pay equivalent compensation if production was reduced that farmers had no worries, so they began to try planting new crops.

    Now after the harvest, the farmers were almost stunned. They saw mountains and mountains of red potato pumpkins being harvested at home. They could hardly believe that they had never seen so much food except in the landlord¡¯s warehouse before.

    At this time, they have not yet adapted to this kind of harvest. They are just thinking about how many years they will need to eat so much food.

    But Liu Zhang knew clearly that after this output exploded, commerce and animal husbandry would inevitably rise.

    Liu Zhang had already made certain preparations for this. In order to avoid waste, the government began to purchase a large amount of excess grain for planting in government pastures.

    Liu Zhang had no shortage of livestock. After the Xianbei grassland was occupied by the Di and Han people, there was a large surplus of cattle and sheep, and there were many lambs and calves.

    After seeing the business opportunities, businessmen from all walks of life came out one after another to purchase grain for their own livestock farms. They originally thought that such a bumper harvest could lower the price.

    But when bank president Zhang Song issued a price limit order, the merchants discovered that the price limit order would not only prevent them from selling at high prices, but also prevent them from purchasing at low prices.

    With the government devouring a large amount of excess production, the prices of crops such as sweet potatoes and pumpkins have remained at reasonable levels.

    "This brought countless money to the farmers in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army. The bank's coin-minting workshops were working day and night and could barely cope with the demand, so they had to expand the coin workshops.

    After farmers got money, they started to buy all kinds of daily necessities and farm tools that they had to make themselves, and organized weddings and weddings, and business immediately prospered.

    Since the Battle of Guanzhong, both the expansion of the Cao Cao family and the huge compensation from Jiangdong have severely damaged the economies of Hebei and Jiangdong. The people in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army are already better off than the people in the two places.

    ¡°But now, two places and several streets have been thrown away almost overnight. Even if the family strictly blocks it, it cannot prevent the news from intruding. The people in Hebei and Jiangdong are already restless.

    ??Especially in Hebei, they were already dissatisfied with the political structure in which the aristocrats controlled Cao Cao and continued to resist. Coupled with the efforts to nourish alien races and increase taxes, dissatisfaction reached a critical point. Instigated by Sichuan military spies, sporadic rebellions began to arise.

    The government facilities in the Hetao are still under construction, but a large number of businesses have moved in. In the mainland, the processing of sweet potatoes and pumpkins is booming, while in the Hetao, the processing of animals is popular.

    This can not only supplement the meat diet of the Han people, but is also popular among the grassland people.

    Now that the Han people have money, of course they want to eat meat, and they also want to wear warm animal skin clothes. There is no need to worry about the lack of market for meat-eating animal skins.

    As long as there is no disaster, grassland herdsmen will still have surplus meat to sell, which can bring them money to buy other daily necessities and improve their lives.

    What's more, Liu Zhang asked Xun You, the general of the Western Grassland Protectorate, to do one thing, which was to try to change the herdsmen's eating habits. Eating meat every day is too wasteful. Can you eat some rice?

    This is not something that can be accomplished in a short time, but after exchanging meat for rice, you will definitely be able to eat more securely, and it is impossible for the herdsmen to sell all the meat. They will still mainly eat meat, which does not completely change their eating habits.

    With vigorous promotion, some poor and small tribes began to accept it, which is more conducive to commercial exchanges between the mainland and the grasslands.

    Various merchantsProcessing workshops, craftsmen's workshops, and businesses settled in Hetao. Xun You presided over the construction of roads from Meiji City in Hetao to Chang'an and other cities.

    In order to speed up the progress and smoothen the logistics, many businessmen donated money and materials. Construction of various sections of these roads was almost at the same time, extremely fast.

    With the military as a guarantee and integration as the main policy, the control of the grassland has made a good start. In the autumn, the first grassland official examination was held. Although there were only a few candidates, only some upper-class nobles from the tribe came to take the symbolic examination.  Not fully recognized.

    But as long as the official examination of the four civil servants begins, as long as fairness and authority are guaranteed, it will surely ignite the struggle of the lower class people. When the herdsmen begin to learn Han culture, they will see the words "I am a Han Chinese" every day, and finally from these  Select officials from among the people.

    One day the grassland will be completely under the control of the Han Dynasty.

    Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong deserved to be called Crouching Dragons and Phoenixes. Pang Tong commanded the border troops and stationed them in the Dayuan Kingdom, and cooperated with Du Wei, the Protector of the Western Regions. The Western Regions were at least stable, and the Kushan Empire took the initiative to send ambassadors to make good relations with the Han Dynasty and recognized Dayuan.  country and the entire Western Region.

    Zhuge Liang, Cai Ming and Zhu Rong together, the Han Dynasty's control over Dianzhou increased. Now the king of Roasted Hammer Xianzhidong, the king of Mulu Banadong, the Wutugu Kingdom including Yang Feng Yinyedong who had submitted before, Meng  Jieyin, potholes, etc., is not a territory, but is at most equivalent to a small princely state.

    The Han Dynasty¡¯s control over Dianzhou increased significantly.

    Jiaozhou was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty. After all the noble families were emptied, the economy declined sharply. However, after Jingzhou and Yizhou mobilized supplies to enter, Zhuge Liang and Cai Ming completely stabilized Jiaozhou.

    Luo Yue and other countries in the south hurriedly sent envoys to Chang'an to express their submission to the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhang did not give a clear statement, which meant that Zhuge Liang would take care of it.

    Without destroying the stability of Jiaozhou and Dianzhou, take advantage if you can, and don¡¯t worry if you can¡¯t.

    The border is stable, the military is strong, and food is sufficient. The time has come for the Sichuan Army to launch a unification war.

    With the current situation in the world, the family controls Hebei and Qingzhou in the name of Cao Cao. Yanzhou and Xuzhou are nominally under the Wei army. In fact, in front of the Sichuan army, the Wei army has no intention of guarding and has already withdrawn its supplies to Hebei.

    Sima Yi made a futile move and sent Wu Jun's former military advisor Zhou Ce to the east of Yuzhou in an attempt to defend the Yingshui defense line. Unexpectedly, the resourceful Zhou Ce agreed.

    Liu Zhang felt he didn¡¯t understand, but he was not afraid of any conspiracy. In the face of absolute strength, there was no conspiracy.

    Jiangdong is still in a dilemma. The clan troops are guarding the outside, and Sun Quan is staying in the Wujun area. They are cooperating internally and externally. Only Yu Jin and Jia Xu's naval forces are in an awkward position. After the Hebei coup, they don't know who they should belong to, so they can only wait until the Sichuan army attacks.  Time, let it pass.

    The speed of building ships is much faster than the speed of training the navy. The explosive power of the Xu family, the largest family in the world, is amazing. In one year, they built a fleet enough to carry eight thousand people.

    When Liu Zhang and Xu Zhaoxue got married, Liu Zhang used two battleships as betrothal gifts and handed them over to the Xu family. The Xu family's entire fleet carried 12,000 people, 8,000 Xu family descendants and loyal servants, and 4,000 missionaries.

    Of course, these four thousand missionaries are not all from Buddhism or Taoism. To be precise, there are many fake monks and Taoists among them, all sent by Liu Zhang.

    These fake monks and Taoist priests are not monitoring the Xu family, but promoting preaching. Liu Zhang needs the "Holy Fruit" to be quickly promoted and popular in the Japanese slave country.

    A year later, Xu Zhen, a descendant of the Xu family, led a huge fleet across the Yangtze River estuary without encountering any obstruction. It loaded with 8,000 soldiers, 4,000 missionaries, and a large amount of opium produced and processed in Siyang County and sailed into the Pacific Ocean.

    In the autumn of 208 AD, after the autumn harvest, Liu Zhang ordered the Yingshui Defense Line, the Hulaoguan Defense Line, the Bingzhou Defense Line, the Jiangxia Defense Line, and the Chaisang Defense Line to launch an all-out attack on the Wei and Wu armies.

    He personally led various new-style troops out of Hangu Pass, passed through the Heluo area, passed through Bingzhou and entered the north of Hebei. There were more than 400,000 grassland soldiers, pointing their swords at the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies that had been stationed in Youzhou for nearly a year.  To be continued.  )
