    Gao Yuan arranged an independent courtyard for Wang Jian on the bank of Dayan Lake. The guards inside were in charge of the guards brought by Wang Jian himself, while the outside was in charge of the Meihua Division of the Young Guards. If we say where is the cleanest place among today's big men?  , that is undoubtedly the bank of Dayan Lake. Due to the open national policy, other cities in the Han Dynasty, even Jicheng, are places where spies gather. However, Dayan Lake here, because there are many important people living there, is the most closely guarded.  Not far from Dayan Lake, a battalion of Han troops was stationed on guard. In addition, in the surrounding villages, I don't know how many spies Cao Tianci had planted. What situation did Qin Chu's spies want to settle here to find out?  It's really impossible.  In the small hall, Wang Jian looked calm, but Huang Ming was a little anxious. After the initial meeting with Gao Yuan, he told Huang Ming the full result of the disagreement.  Huang Ming is one of the few men under Wang Jian who has both civil and military skills. He is not only proficient in military affairs, but also has a good command of civil affairs.  "General, I don't think this trade is feasible. Have you forgotten how the Qin economy collapsed? The Han Dynasty has developed commerce, and the prices of any kind of goods are ridiculously low. If you let them go, they will  Dumping high-priced goods into our territory will probably cause a devastating blow to the economy within our territory. As time goes by, we will not be able to maintain our economic independence and will never be able to leave the Han Dynasty."  Huang Ming said solemnly.  "If merchants from the Han Dynasty are not allowed to enter our territory, then why does the Han Kingdom give us support? Our military industry is so poor that we can't even make all our soldiers wear armor.  There are no iron ore or copper mines in our area. We rely on blacksmiths to knock out weapons with such low efficiency. How can we maintain the strength of our army and resist the enemy?  Attack?" Wang Jian looked at Huang Ming, "Every loss must be a gain. Since we want to get military support from the Han Dynasty, we must pay a price." "But this price will probably lead to our demise." Huang Ming said.  "Military. We have to rely on the Han Dynasty. If we cannot maintain self-sufficiency in the economy, then how can we gain a foothold? How can we maintain our integrity?" Wang Jian was silent for a moment, "Huang Ming, do you think we  Can it maintain its integrity?" Huang Ming looked at Wang Jian for a long time.  Finally sat down slumped.  "Even if we have only seen the tip of the iceberg of the power displayed by that big food in black, do you think we can resist it now?" Huang Ming shook his head.  "You know the power of the big man very well, and it is not something we can stop." Wang Jian smiled bitterly, "We are sandwiched between two giants. If you have to choose one to rely on, which one will you choose?" "It doesn't matter.  "Want to choose?" Huang Ming smiled bitterly, "If I had to choose one, I would naturally choose the big man. After all, we are from the same culture and race, and those black-clad giants have no intention of coexisting with us.  , that black-clad army of food that rushed into our territory was just a defeated army, but after they came, their only purpose was to kill us all so that they could occupy this land. " "You.  That's right. Our strength is too weak, so we have to rely on one side. "And Dahan is undoubtedly our choice. Not only do we allow Dahan's merchants to come and go."  On our territory, I will also allow them to establish factories in our territory and invest in any industry on our territory. " "Although I will establish an independent country, I will submit my credentials to the Han Dynasty and be willing to become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.  "I will pay tribute every year and come to court every year." "My child is still very young now. When he is a little older, I will send him to the Han Dynasty to study and live. Not only me, but you generals will also do the same.  This is to show the big man that we are willing to submit to them." "General!" Huang Ming said with some pain.  "Huang Ming, the first thing we have to do is to survive. The Han Dynasty is too powerful for us. It's not that they don't have the ability to deal with us, but now they don't care about dealing with us at all. Gao Yuan said frankly that they  The focus now is on unifying the Central Plains, and after unifying the Central Plains, digesting this huge territory will also consume more of their energy, so for a long time, the Han Dynasty will actually pose no threat to us. But wait until the Han Dynasty.  Once it stabilizes, it's uncertain, so our attitude will determine our future destiny, or the destiny of our next generation." Wang Jian took a deep breath.  "At least for one or two generations, there is no way for us to get rid of our dependence on the big man. But the big man will not always be strong, and we may not always be weak. And when we are still very weak, what we have to do  , just study hard, ??Absorb the advanced things of the Han Dynasty, their factories, their systems, we attract what we need, and remove those that are harmful to us, and we will slowly become stronger.  " Wang Jian turned around, took the globe from the big case behind him, and placed it in front of Huang Ming, "Gao Yuan gave this to me. This is where our land is. Come and take a look.  , There is a broader world outside us. We can rely on the powerful Han State and with their support, we can desperately expand outward. I think Gao Yuan means it, and he is also happy to see us do this.  Our territory will become larger and larger, our people will become more and more numerous, and our strength will become stronger and stronger. One day, either our son or our grandson, we will finally be able to compete with them.  Stand side by side.  " "This is a long-term plan, this is my dream, Huang Ming, what our generation has to do is to survive and grow stronger over a longer period of time, and this dream of mine is counting on our  Next generation, the next generation should do it. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants can enjoy the shade. Huang Ming, are you willing to be the person who planted the trees?  Huang Ming looked excited and bowed his head to the ground: "General, Huang Ming is willing."  " "Great, you and I, and the brothers who are not here, as long as we work together, we can definitely do something great.  "Wang Jian reached out and held Huang Ming's hand, "For the future, we must kneel now.  " "My subordinates understand.  " "You go and draft a letter of credence according to my wishes.  "Wang Jian said happily, "In the next few days, Gao Yuan will take me to see their most advanced weapons. I hope that when we go back, there will be hundreds of carriages carrying what we need.  s things.  " "Also, Gao Yuan gave me a complete set of various laws of the Han Dynasty. You can take a look and study it when you are free. Gao Yuan said that the reason why the Han Dynasty is as powerful as it is is the root cause of these laws.  above.  "Patting the thick book next to him, which was almost half a person's height, Wang Jian said. "Yes, I will definitely study it carefully."  Only by knowing them and understanding them as much as possible can we do better than them.  "Huang Ming said seriously. "Twenty miles away from Dayan Lake, soldiers from Dayan County have put the place under complete martial law. No one is allowed to step inside, and inside, there is a second cordon of the Young Guards.  , Here today, Gao Yuan will show Wang Jian the powerful military power of the Han Dynasty. "Your Majesty, the first item to display is the latest generation of arm-opening crossbow produced by the Hu family in Jishi City. The crossbow weighs five kilograms and is more than 100 grams.  Our army now uses an arm-opening crossbow that is lowered by one kilogram, has a range of 200 meters, can effectively kill 100 people, and can effectively break armor for 80 meters.  Gao Yuan, director of the Military Industry Bureau of the Ministry of Construction, said loudly. Gao Yuan nodded, turned to Wang Jian, who was sitting next to him, and explained in a low voice: "I, a big man, have opened many military products to private production. This Hu's company  The Ordnance Factory purchased the production technology of the arm-opening crossbow. They have been working on improving this product for the past two years, and it seems to be working well.  More importantly, the cost has dropped by nearly 20% compared to when we produced it ourselves.  " " Only big men would dare to open up military and military products to civilian production, and they are also sharp weapons like crossbows!  "Wang Jian sighed. Gao Yuan laughed, "It would be nice if you didn't regard the people as enemies, but our dynasty in the Central Plains has always seemed to defend the people and even guard against external enemies. In fact, I just did some normal things.  But in such an environment, it seems abnormal. General, let's see how powerful he is!  "A dozen targets were placed one hundred meters away. Ten soldiers held crossbows in their arms. An officer stood on one side. As the small red flag in the officer's hand was pressed down sharply, the bodies of the ten soldiers leaned back slightly.  Suddenly, that was the recoil of the crossbow. Ten crossbow arrows flew towards the target with a whistling sound. After a moment, ten armored straw men were sent to the two men, and the crossbow arrows penetrated deeply into the armor.  "Didn't I just say that the armor can be broken within 80 meters? It has already been broken at a distance of 100 meters.  "Wang Jiancha looked at the damage caused by the crossbow arrows and asked in surprise. "This is a fine product they made, specially for our inspection. It is naturally stronger than the ordinary ones, but if it is mass-produced, it will definitely not be able to achieve 100% success.  Armor-breaking.  "Gao Quan, commander of the Military Industry Bureau, explained, "So we set it as eighty meters of armor-breaking, and Wu's Military Factory has no different meaning.  " "It is indeed a sharp weapon.  "Wang Jian held the crossbow with this arm and couldn't put it down. "Actually, the biggest improvement of this crossbow is not the range and power, but the speed of winding.  "Gao Quan took the arm-opening crossbow, skillfully pulled and twisted it, and then put the crossbow arrow into the arrow slot. He closed his hands and heard two clicks. The crossbow arrow was already loaded. Gao Quan raised the crossbow arrow with both hands.  Such asIt was said that the previous range only surprised Wang Jian, but such a fast winding speed shocked Wang Jian. If there was such a winding speed, then the infantry would be like the scythe of death when dealing with cavalry charges.  (To be continued)
