    New people such as Feng Tang, the commander of the CRRC, Wei Shang, the governor of Hexi County, Zuo Ji, the imperial censor, and Lei Ban, the cavalry general, were promoted one after another, which suddenly broke the original official system of the Qin State, and this new structure also allowed  More young people who want to prove themselves have seen Qin's meticulous approach to recruiting talents.  While reforming the domestic political situation, Li Yuan also accelerated his control of the newly occupied areas in the West. In addition to Xin'an City, Dongyang City, Xiyong City and other seven-star connected cities, two new places in Egypt and Siberia were established in the province.  The method was formally established, and Li Zhongxiang and Han Xin, as the first officers, became the dominant princes.  Divide the kings.  This was the main method used by the Western Zhou Dynasty to rule the world during the Spring and Autumn Period.  After the establishment of the Qin State, the system of counties and counties directly under the central government was mainly promoted.  However, with the expansion of the territory, the shortcomings of this direct-administration system have also begun to be exposed, that is, because the territory is too vast, the handling of some affairs, especially emergencies, will cause long-term problems due to the long transmission time on the road.  Can't be solved.  From this point of view, granting autonomy to distant border areas is a feasible and reasonable approach, and as the central court, what it has to do is to grasp this degree.  In other words, you can¡¯t let it go, and you can¡¯t tighten it too tightly.  The vast empire will one day fall apart. This is the inevitable development of history. What Li Yuan needs to do now is to inject the heritage of Eastern civilization into the lands under his jurisdiction, so that no matter how many years it goes,  No matter how many generations, it still endures.  ¡ª¡ª.  The sixteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, spring.  After a winter of hibernation.  It was a rare occasion to spend a festival with his family in Chang'an City, and Li Yuan felt a deep sense of warmth.  I also began to miss my old brothers who were fighting abroad.  "The battlefield that belongs to men is in the west, not in the gentle countryside." "The men of the Qin Dynasty should march westward with their swords in hand, kill generals and seize the flag, and show the power of our great country." In January, Li Yuan once again promulgated the Western Proclamation in Chang'an  The mobilization order covers the vast Central Asia, the Middle East, eastern Europe, and northern Africa.  More soldiers and more new immigrants were needed.  This is the third time that Li Yuan called on the people of Qin to support the Western war. The first time, only the most loyal subordinates accompanied him; the second time, it was the speculators who had benefited from the Western Conquest.  Joined in, and this time, answered the call.  They are the vested interests of batches of new immigrants, as well as their relatives and friends.  Longxi County, Didao.  The Li clan is holding a clan meeting. The Li clan has become more and more prosperous in recent years with the strength of the Qin State. Although the surname of Li Yuan is not Didao Li, but Shangcai Li.  But this cannot cover up the pride of people with the surname Li. What's more, Li Zhongxiang, the famous general in the Western Conquest, came from Didao Li.  The elder clan member with white beard and hair is still Li Zhongxiang¡¯s clan grandfather in terms of seniority.  Sitting in the ancestral hall, facing a group of descendants.  The old man looked excited. Li Zhongxiang could only guarantee the status of the surname Li for a period of time.  Just like Li Xin back then, he only allowed the Li family to be famous for more than ten years.  Therefore, if they want to become a truly wealthy family, the Li family needs more young people to step forward.  There are more than ten young people named Li in the hall who are about to follow in the footsteps of the Western Expedition. Some of them may never come back, and some may be buried in a foreign land, but as long as one or two succeed, the Li family will become a wealthy family in Longxi.  The opportunity has come.  While the clan meeting of the Li family in Longxi was being held, in other places in Guanzhong, in Guandong, Shuzhong, Hedong and other places, the famous clans were also nervously discussing whether to join the expedition or to be conservative.  Do not participate in order to avoid the destruction of the entire clan elite.  The Li family chose to follow. The Hedong Sima family, who was also from a wealthy family, chose another direction in this choice. What is regrettable is that Sima Yin, a great master of the Qin army, died of illness a year ago.  After his early death, the real power of the Sima family changed hands, and the successor Sima Tan was more focused on the affairs of the Salt Lake in Hedong and was not very interested in expanding his power.  Some people are following, and some are lagging behind.  Amidst the ups and downs, time has arrived in the early spring in a blink of an eye. It is not far from the day when Li Yuan decides to set off, and one hundred thousand soldiers from all over the Qin Dynasty are also ready to go.  Group after group of Western Expedition soldiers are like fresh blood injected into the bloodstream, which can give the greatest comfort to the soldiers fighting on the front.     February.  Spring is warm and then cold.  Thick snow lay on the road like layers of blankets. The third batch of expeditionary Qin troops followed the snow road and began to move towards the unknown front.  In the position of the central army, the school captains Lei Quan and Li Shang were ranked next to Li Yuan, and they were able to get Li Yuan among the many applicants.?The opportunity to serve in the Guards Battalion is like a dream to them.  ¡ª¡ª.  Troy.  The Mediterranean westerly wind in February blew at this long-quiet harbor. At the port, dozens of warships with three-layer oars have been painted with bright olive oil. This oil can protect the seams between the planks on the ship.  The gap is not soaked by sea water, and the collision angle equipped with iron ship protection is even more daunting.  Gan Yong stood steadily on a tall Mengchong ship. The skin on his face was purple-red, but his figure was thinner. Compared with half a year ago when he had to be supported even to stand, Gan Yong  It seems to have adapted to the sea environment.  To the left and right of Gan Yong's flagship are the boats of the two generals Hu Zhe and Luan Bu. Their adaptability is much stronger than Gan Yong. Although the rivers and lakes are different from the sea, for a group of men who are eager to make meritorious deeds, no matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is,  Difficulties are nothing? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out  This is the current top priority of the Qin Army. Unlike land warfare, the establishment of a navy is much more complicated. It requires not only experienced sailors, excellent fleet commanders, but also generals in charge of each ship. In addition to these,  There must also be a sturdy warship that can suppress the opponent in multiple functions.  This Qin army fleet currently has eleven naval ships, twenty-six auxiliary supply ships, and fifty-seven small paddle boats. Except for the newly built naval ships, the other ships are Greek and Jewish.  , provided by the Egyptians, and in the process of building sea ships, Greek Gemetheus and students from the Lyceum Academy played an important role. Their precise insights into mathematics allowed Qin craftsmen to feel the advancement of Western civilization for the first time.  The blend of technology is mutual. The building technology from Eastern craftsmen also surprised Westerners, especially the group of thieves brought out by Ju Yeze under Luan Bu's hands. For them, shipbuilding was originally  Now that I have returned to my current job, this kind of technical skills is very easy to do.  Since winter, the situation in the Mediterranean has become more complicated. Affected by the increasingly clear political situation in Rome, Crassus's fleet became active. Under the banner of skeletons, they attacked Jews and Greeks between the Adriatic Sea and the Aegean Sea.  merchant ships, robbed their supplies, killed the sailors on board, and turned themselves into a frightened pirate fleet.  ¡°If Great Qin cannot protect us, then all talk of alliance and cooperation will be empty talk?¡± The merchants who lost all their money cried bitterly.  David, the Jewish king, and Dikar, the leader of the Greek merchants, had been putting pressure on the Qin army one after another during these times, asking the Qin State to send troops to severely punish the pirate murderers, even though they had long known that the pirates who robbed them in the Mediterranean were not pirates at all, but Romans.  fleet.  "As the sovereign state, we have the obligation to protect us." This is the idea of ??the Jews and Greeks. For the profit-seeking Westerners, this is a matter of course, but they will not think about the fact that in the past year, they have gained from the Qin State.  How many benefits have been gained from conservation.  In the face of interests, human nature is ugly.  But no matter how selfish the Jews and Greeks are, one thing is correct. If Qin wants to open up the complex situation in the Mediterranean, it is crucial to break the Roman naval blockade.  Therefore, during these days, Gan Yong was under great pressure.  Whether he should go to sea in the near future or whether he should look for Crassus's skeleton fleet and fight in a battle, this made Gan Yong feel the difficulty of the choice. As the commander of the fleet, all he can do now is to train hard and strive to control the fleet.  The combat effectiveness is adjusted to the optimal state.  PS: I have a severe stomachache today. I don¡¯t know why, so I can only update it once.
