After several days of meetings, Sun Quan was almost tired like a pug.
It's not easy to be the king of a country.
Especially at the end of the year, when the entire dynasty is busy, it is a bit too much work to summarize the achievements of the past year and plan the direction of the coming year.
And everything is inseparable from Sun Quan, the emperor.
"Ziyu, what are you doing in the afternoon?"
Sun Quan sat in the imperial study, rubbing his temples.
"Your Majesty, in the afternoon is the strategic deployment meeting of the Military Aircraft Department on the battle against Rome in the coming year, you must attend" "Okay" Sun Quan stood up and looked at the sky: "Go to the Military Aircraft Pavilion" "No" A group of staff officers and clerks in the imperial study nodded and took the order.
When Sun Quan arrived at the Military Aircraft Pavilion, the military aircraft ministers were already sitting majestically in the circular conference room in the Military Aircraft Pavilion, waiting for the meeting to open.
"Your Majesty" "Your Majesty" Seeing Sun Quan walk in, one by one the ministers of military aircraft hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Cheng Shouzun, you can start" Sun Quan sat down and said indifferently.
"Yes" Cheng Pu nodded, and then began to start this strategic discussion: "Although we have been fighting against Rome for two years, in fact, we don't know much about the situation of the Roman Empire, and the Roman army seems to be as many as one million at first, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, we will fight a bloody battle with them in the coming year."
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible" Sun Quan squinted slightly, and glanced at Li Ru: "Wenyou, Jinyiwei has few achievements in the west, this is not good."
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has worked very hard" Li Ru attended the meeting in the name of the Governor of Jinyiwei, and he said with a wry smile: "But the people in the western land and our people from the Central Plains are very surprised, this is not only the surprise of language, but also the surprise of the appearance outside, the difficulty of our spies to get in is too high, and at present, we can only use some Sabbatians and captured Romans to detect the news, so there is not much news."
"I don't care about this, Jinyiwei is in charge of news investigation, before starting the war, you must figure out the number of the Roman army, the main general, the troops, the deployment, etc., this is very important for our campaign" "Wechen does his best" "It's not about trying, it's about doing it" "No" Li Ru reluctantly agreed.
"The three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, Sun Ben, the logistics department has to work harder" Sun Quan looked at the boss of the logistics department, and said in a deep voice: "The cabinet is already building the Silk Road, I know that whether it is a sea route or the Silk Road, thousands of miles away, this long supply line will make the logistics department breathless, but the front-line soldiers are about to fight hard, and the logistics cannot but be guaranteed."
"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion" "Say" "Your Majesty, at present, the development of Guishan Prefecture and Xizhou is very smooth, they will have a large number of grain taxes and so on back to the Central Plains every day, I wonder if it is possible to use the alternate way, the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet coordinate, the Logistics Department takes over this part of the tax, counts a number, and then makes up for it from the Logistics Department back to the Cabinet, and this part of the grain and taxes will be exempted from the trouble of transportation and sent directly to the battlefield."
Sun Ben said.
The Wu Dynasty has gradually formed a clear court rule of military and political distinction, which is a good thing, but it is not a little flexible enough for the land of the Western Regions "Yes, but you have to discuss it with the Cabinet, and this matter must not become a dispute between the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet."
"No," Sun Ben nodded.
"Your Majesty, this is the deployment of troops for the next year's war" Lu Bu handed over a troop map.
"The Sea Eagle Legion, the Guanzhong Legion, the Snow Leopard Legion, the Bashu Legion, the Flying Tiger Legion, the main forces of the five legions, plus the main forces of the three armies of the Flame Legion, nearly 730,000 main forces."
Sun Quan looked at it and asked, "Where are the Bashu Legion and the Flying Tiger Legion stationed, have you figured it out?"
"After the Chinese New Year, the Bashu Legion will go west, enter the northwest border of the former Sabbath Empire, and confront the Roman army in northern Mesopotamia, and in March, the main force of our Flying Tiger Legion will join them" "Very good" Sun Quan nodded: "In this way, after the Flying Tiger Legion and the Bashu Legion meet, the second western theater will be established, Fengxian, you will personally lead the commander of the theater, as for the chief of staff of the theater, Gongjin, how about you go on a trip in person."
Zhuge Liang is in charge of the first western theater, and the second western theater is mainly responsible for the battle in the north, and it also needs to have a staff general who can hold it steady.
"No" Zhou Yu's eyes were bright.
He also wanted to participate in this war against the Roman Empire, which would be the most glorious battle for the Wu army, and he was unwilling to give up the first battle.
"That's right" Sun Quan quickly threw a depth charge at the generals: "In the first battle next year, I plan to drive the battle in person and break the enemy in one battle."
Sun Quan thought about the matter of the royal conquest for a long time, but he knew that his current identity was difficult to procure, so he did not release it at the court council, but held back until this moment before saying it, and caught them off guard.
He wanted to defeat Rome with his own hands, he wanted to go to the city of Rome to see.
See the ancient Roman Empire, see the world-famous Colosseum, and see Western Europe in this era That's what he wants.
"What" "The Imperial Expedition" The generals were suddenly blown up by Sun Quan's depth charge, and their eyes widened, looking at Sun Quan's gaze a little weird.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Quan's eyes swept over, and he asked lightly: "Can't I drive the expedition?"
"Your Majesty, the Western Regions are far away, the road is far away, whether it is the sea route or the Silk Road, there is a great danger, it is really not suitable for you to work hard" Cheng Pu whispered his objection.
"What the First Lord Said Is True" "At this time, if Your Majesty drives the expedition in person, won't the court that has just stabilized be in chaos again?"
"This must not happen" All the generals did not agree with Sun Quan's imperial expedition.
"This matter has been decided, there is no need to discuss it again" Sun Quan had a resolute attitude, and said in a deep voice: "This Roman Empire, I want to defeat it personally, I have been fighting in the south and the north for many years, and it can be regarded as a long-term battlefield, and it is only dangerous, what are you afraid of?"
In the face of Sun Quan's unusually resolute attitude, the generals had some headaches.
"This is the end of today's meeting, you continue to discuss the preparations for this battle, I still have business" Sun Quan stood up, took a few staff officers from the imperial study behind him, and left the Military Aircraft Pavilion directly.
"What do you say you should do?"
"I know what to do."
"Otherwise, we will jointly oppose and force Your Majesty to cancel the decision of the royal driver" "Get out, the joint opposition to you is against it or forcing the palace, if you don't make it, the military aircraft department will be bleeding."
"Then you can't let Your Majesty go to danger."
In the conference hall of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, the ministers of military aircraft and the giants of the Military Aircraft Department all had sad faces.
"Bo Fu, why don't you go and persuade Your Majesty" "I persuade him like this, he is now His Majesty, not my brother Sun Zhongmou, if I say the wrong thing, I will also be beheaded" Sun Ce smiled bitterly.

"I said that the queen still needs to do this" Li Ru came gloomily.
"Queen" Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and the others glanced at each other and had an idea.
In the evening, Sun Quan returned to the imperial study.
"Ziyu, do you say that I can drive the expedition in person" Sun Quan took a sip of tea, then looked at Zhuge Jin and asked.
"Difficult" Zhuge Jin spit out a word.
"Fengxiao, what do you think" Sun Quan looked at the other staff member of the imperial study on his left hand.
"If Your Majesty insists on wanting to conquer in person, they can't stop it" Guo Jia said calmly.
He could clearly feel the majesty of Dao Sun Quan in the Great Wu Dynasty, which was absolutely the same.
"If you force it, you can do it" Sun Quan smiled: "But I don't want to, although I am the emperor and the king of Great Wu, I also have to properly accept the opinions of the courtiers, and the listeners listen to it in the dark, I don't want the Great Wu Dynasty to have a voice, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty is Wise" Guo Jia suddenly understood that Sun Quan's ability to restrain this unique control was really extraordinary, worthy of being able to defeat Cao Cao's existence, he thought about it: "The minister has a way to make them agree."
"Tell me about it" "Your Majesty, if you take the initiative to bring up this matter, both the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet will oppose it, but if you can get the people from the Military Aircraft Department to oppose it, and then bring it to the Imperial Court and Council for discussion, maybe it will be feasible."
"Why" "The opposition of the Military Aircraft Department, for the cabinet, is to agree, if the cabinet is on your side, I am afraid that if you want to drive the expedition in person, no one can stop it" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"I understand, you mean to let me take advantage of the contradiction between the cabinet and the military aircraft department to fish in troubled waters" Sun Quan thought for a while, a little puzzled: "But will the cabinet be so easy to use, whether it is Zhang Zhao or Kuai Liang, they are all smart people" "The authorities are obsessed" Guo Jiadao.
"Haha" Sun Quan laughed: "I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, I want an answer" "No" Guo Jia nodded.
Zhuge Jin didn't say so, and he couldn't object to Sun Quan's decision, but he looked at Guo Jia's eyes becoming more and more unkind, this slanderous minister, really a lot of bad water, should not be underestimated.
In the early spring of the third year of Tianquan, under the slight breeze, it arrived as scheduled.
This Spring Festival, not only Jinling City, but the entire Central Plains is very lively.
The Great Wu Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the economic development is changing with each passing day, and with the promotion of the Department of Agriculture, many new varieties are planted, and basically few people have no food.
In the past, the people did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, could not live in houses, and there were countless displaced people, but now under the management of the imperial court, it is not considered to be a very good life, at least there is no threat of war, at least they can eat enough.
Everywhere has begun to equalize the land, and basically every household has been allocated a field, and with the field, there is a crop to grow, and a stable life can be made.
Such a court can make the people return to their hearts.
Even the people of Cao Wei's territory back then have gradually begun to accept the title of the people of Great Wu.
Within a few days of the Spring Festival, the court began to get busy again.
On this day, Sun Quan wore an ordinary brocade robe, and walked out of the palace with two imperial study staff officers on the left and right.
"Rickshaw" "A few masters, where to go" "Ministry of Engineering Academy" "Okay" Sitting on the rickshaw, Sun Quan looked at the streets and alleys of Jinling City, which were full of rickshaws and bicycles, and he couldn't help but feel that he had returned to the era of the Republic of China.
It's all his masterpiece.
He made the rickshaws and bicycles made by the Ministry of Engineering Academy to replace most of the horse-drawn carriages and horseback riding tools in major cities, which should be more convenient and faster.
"The Ministry of Engineering Academy has arrived" Sun Quan stepped out of the rickshaw, Guo Jia and Zhuge Jin also got off the other two rickshaws one after another, and then Zhuge Jin dropped a silver dollar, and several rickshaw drivers dragged the car away with a smile.
One silver dollar is a lot of income for many people, after all, the development of the entire Great Wu Dynasty is just beginning, and the monthly salary of a better person is only about ten silver dollars, even if it is an official, it is only thirteen or fourteen silver dollars a month.
"Your Majesty, the development of this Jinling City has become a little unknown to me," Zhuge Jin sighed.
"Don't talk about you, I don't know you anymore" Sun Quan stood at the door of the Ministry of Engineering College and said, "This is the credit of the Ministry of Engineering."
Although this academy is not as famous as Jiangdong Academy, Jinling Academy, and Lumenshan Academy, it has an irreplaceable effect on the development of the entire Dawu.
"Weichen Liu Ye, see Your Majesty" Liu Ye has been waiting at the gate of the academy for a long time, his face is very thin, and the whole person is a little haggard, it should be that he has not come out of the corruption and fraud case in September.
Among the big cases, the first to bear the brunt is the Ministry of Industry.
And although he was not involved, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he had the main responsibility, for which he also lost the position of cabinet minister, but retained the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
"Ziyang, you haven't breathed a sigh of relief yet" Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder and said bitterly: "Do you think that you have done nothing wrong, but you have been punished too unjustly?"
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't think so" Liu Ye shook his head: "The minister is just a little self-blamed, he doesn't know people, he damages the court, and humiliates the Ministry of Industry."
One of the squires of the Ministry of Industry selected by him actually became the leader of this corruption and fraud case, so that the entire Ministry of Industry almost couldn't raise its head in the court.
"You choose the people yourself, and you are responsible for the whole responsibility" Sun Quan said calmly: "I believe in your ability, you have surpassed many people in terms of craftsmanship, but it is undeniable that as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the first point is to learn to use people, this time you use the wrong person, I must give you a lesson" "Wechen has failed His Majesty's expectations" Liu Ye lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"It's impossible for people not to do wrong things" Sun Quan shook his head: "I don't mind if you do something wrong, as long as you can change it, the Ministry of Industry is the most important part of me, I don't have you to let me remove the position of the Ministry of Works, you should know what I expect from you" "Wechen must be careful in the future, and he will never let His Majesty down" "Okay" Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder: "Take me to see the latest results of the laboratory" "No" Liu Ye took Sun Quan and walked to the most secret area of the Ministry of Industry Academy.
"Kan Ze, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live" A young man in his early thirties, with dozens of elites from the Ministry of Industry, was studying a giant object.
"No need to be polite" Sun Quan looked at the ancient locomotive, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Steam engine, steam engine, you are about to be born" The study of the steam engine began on the day the Shoin was established.
In a few years in a row, nearly tens of millions of silver dollars have been invested, the power elites of several academies have been mobilized, and even Sun Quan has participated in countless researches, and now it can be regarded as a prototype.
This would be the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Dawu.
"Your Majesty, it still doesn't work" Kan Ze said a little dejectedly.

He is currently the person with the best weight in the entire Great Wu Dynasty, and the weight is Arabic numerals, which means that he is the best mathematician in the entire Great Wu.
"What's the problem?"
asked Sun Quan, walking around the entire giant steam engine.
"A lot of problems" Kan Ze has the crazy energy of later inventors, in the research topic, he can not care about Sun Quan's status as the emperor, there is a sentence: "You said that the use of steam expansion to push the piston to do work, but we have done a lot of research, but we can't make steam power" "Is there something wrong?"
Sun Quan was not an inventor, he proposed a principle from some knowledge known by later generations, and he himself could not guarantee whether he could make a physical object based on this principle.
"I've checked it countless times, and I guess there's something we haven't found a problem yet," Kan Ze said.
"Keep researching, no matter how many times you fail, you can't give up, I must see the steam engine" Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "I will give you another year, and in this year, I will continue to invest three million silver dollars from the treasury of the palace, so that you can concentrate on research, and whatever you need, you can come up with it."
"No" Kan Ze nodded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, this is" Guo Jia stood beside Sun Quan, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the giant object in front of him, he was inevitably a little confused.
"Don't underestimate this thing, this will be the future of my Da Wu" Sun Quan's turquoise and transparent eyes exuded a bright light.
The Central Plains has been unified, and the battle for the Roman Empire is only a battle to open up the territory, and no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will not affect the Central Plains.
Now war is no longer the theme, in Sun Quan's heart, development is the theme of the future of the Great Wu Dynasty.
If they want to develop and transcend the times, then they must overcome the hurdle of the industrial revolution.
Sun Quan didn't mind breaking out this revolution ahead of time. t1706231537:
