The far north of the Han Empire was still a land of ice and snow, but the south was already in full bloom.
Fu Wei, who had just returned to his homeland not long after returning from the Asan Continent, was a little dizzy by the pie falling from the sky in an instant, and he became the protector of one party.
Lao Fu's family was Liu Yan's investment in the Han Department during the difficult survival period in Changguang County, but it was a pity that there were no too high-end talents in the family at that time, resulting in no clansmen being able to mix in high positions.
However, even if there are no high-end talents, the old Fu family still has some talents who can work, and with the continuous expansion of the territory ruled by Liu Yan, they have gradually become county-level figures, but there has been no development in the military.
The old Fu family really entered the first-class family after waiting for Fu Wei to become Jiang Duling.
Since then, Fu Wei has received the full support of the old Fu family, but Fu Wei's development trajectory is somewhat different from the expectations of the old Fu family, and he has not been transferred from the official position of Jiang Duling to the army, but since he became Jiang Duling, he has been labeled as a water army, and the development circle is limited to the water army.
Since ancient times, there have been "three armies" in China, which originally referred to the infantry army, the chariot army, and the cavalry army, and the chariot army was gradually eliminated, and the sailors such as the building boat replaced the position of the chariot army in the "three armies".
The sailor was basically the role of a transparent person before Liu Che, but there were not many people who would pay attention or care about it at all, or because Liu Che had to do something to the southern countries at that time, so he got enough attention.
With the fall of Minyue and South Vietnam, the navy once again entered a dispensable state, and even acted as a fishing fleet in the back.
For a long period of time, the sailors of Zhuxia will only be re-emphasized when the country falls into the division between the north and the south, generally using the Yangtze River as a battlefield, fighting and dying in that small ditch very unproductively, until a winner is divided, and then the sailors once again become a dispensable role.
Although the Han Empire at that time was no longer only playing in inland rivers and had already shown its initial ambition for the sea, the long-formed concepts and cognitions still had a great influence.
The old Fu family is naturally extremely anxious about Fu Wei being confined to the circle of sailors, and they are looking forward to Fu Wei being able to play a role in the army, and it may be a luxury to climb to the high position of a general at the level of the word "Zheng", but there is still hope for him to climb to the level of Zhonglang General.
Things took a turn for the worse when the Han Empire decided to launch an attack on the Gupta Empire across the sea.
Due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of water warfare among the descendants of the Han Empire, many generals who originally belonged to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were rehired and reused, and the officials who were descendants and knew how to fight water warfare were promoted like rockets under their buttocks.
The war between the Han Empire and the Gupta Empire was in the stage of naval duel for more than two years, and a large number of naval talents emerged, and they continued to rise to the rank because of their military exploits.
Fu Wei, who played a major role as a descendant, took over as commander-in-chief of the fleet after the Gupta Empire's war, and the original Li Mai and Wang Gong were transferred back to China.
Later, after the meritorious service was evaluated, there were generals from the navy among the marquis, including Fu Wei, Li Mai and Wang Gong.
The difference is that Fu Wei continues to be reused, while Wang Gong and Li Mai are transferred to relatively less important positions.
At this moment, Fu Wei, who has become the protector of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, is standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the constantly rolling waves in front of him, and he still can't control himself in his heart.
There were only four protectors in the entire Han Empire.
Li Kuang and Si Hongzhuang are absolutely right, one of them was to sweep the Western Regions in advance so that Xie An could easily recover the entire Western Regions, and the other was to participate in the whole battle of annihilation of the Gupta Empire.
Qian Jiantong is also one of the descendants, but because he is a descendant of the Huns, no one will believe it if he is not affected, but no one mentions the stubble.
The Xiqian family decided to take refuge before Liu Yan made a fortune, and the head of the family, Xiqian Bailiao, died as an envoy to Murong Yanguo, which to some extent cleared the biggest obstacle to the officialdom that was still called Xiqian Jiantong at that time.
Qian Jiantong was one of the first Zhonglang generals under Liu Yan's command, but after reaching the level of Zhonglang general, he seemed to have hit an invisible ceiling, he was a Zhonglang general from the seventh year of Yuan Shuo, and he was still a Zhonglang general until the thirteenth year of Yuan Shuo, and the official position did not even move for six years.
There will be such a situation, it may not be that there is any suppression, at that time, the northern Xinjiang should have been destroyed, there are not too many large-scale wars, and there is a lack of meritorious opportunities, and several other Zhonglang generals, that is, Li Kuang, are lucky to have the big battlefield of the Western Regions, like the Zhonglang generals in the south and the east, lack the opportunity to obtain military merits, and the official position and title have not been promoted.
"It's my first time at sea."
Qian Jiantong and Fu Wei are in the same boat, I don't know when they came to Fu Wei's side, and said with emotion: "The sea is really as rumored, vast and boundless."
Fu Wei is going to take office, and Qian Jiantong is also going to take office, but the final location is in Malacca, and the other is going to Fahrenheit.
Not only them, but there is another capital protector on the ship, that is, the capital protector of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.
They all went back to Chang'an to accept official positions, and went through the procedures to receive their official robes and related seals and tiger talismans.
To get to Malacca, Pingman, and Fahrenheit from the Han Empire, all three locations could be reached by land, but the most convenient way was by sea.
To get to Malacca and the peaceful barbarian city, you have to go overland into the primeval jungle in the southwest, and cross the mountains and mountains in a place full of poisonous insects, fierce beasts and poisonous miasma.
From the mainland of the Han Empire to Hua's city, you either have to go to the Western Regions and then turn south, and you need to pass through seven or eight countries including Hunnette, the Jidoro Dynasty, and Youtheia; Either choose to go up to the plateau, flip through the world's highest peak, and enter the boundary of the three places.
Taking the road is not the best option, and the time it takes is impossible to be sure, not to mention the danger.
It's different by sea, you can take a boat from Jiaozhou Bay, you can also take a boat from Jingkou, cross the Yizhou Strait all the way, and then enter the South China Sea, Fu Wei can land when he arrives in Malacca, Si Hongzhuang can land through Malacca and enter Asan Yang, and Qian Jiantong also needs to sail through the Bay of Bengal in the southwest bay to land.
If you take the sea route during the monsoon season, it will take more than a month to get from Jingkou to Malacca, and it will only take about two months to reach Cuttac on the Asan side.
Without the convenience of the monsoons, it usually takes twice as long or twice as long, but it's still much faster than by road.
The three of them all protect the same ship, if something happens, the hostile navy will not fight, and no one can control the weather disaster, so the Han Empire should re-select the protector.
The center didn't warn them, they themselves were aware, but no one was too worried.
"I know what you're thinking."
Fu Wei has a full sense of superiority over Qian Jiantong, who took a boat for the first time: "The big ship under our feet is the latest style of gunboat.
With a total length of 170 meters, a width of 42 meters, and a draft of 9 meters, it is not an exaggeration to call it a moving sea fortress."
Liu Yan has provided the concept of tonnage to the current navy, but most people still recognize ships based on intuitive length and width, and draft data.
As the flagship of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, it was started in the eleventh year of Yuanshuo, and it was launched at the beginning of this year, and after three months of sea trials, it was supposed to be delivered to the Navy, but at that time, the center was already discussing the division of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the delivery was delayed.
The center named this giant ship "Linzi", and she is now a well-deserved giant ship of the sea, and no other ship is on the same level as it.

Fu Wei can understand that naming the battleship after the name of the city really doesn't understand how he chose Linzi.
The Han Empire now has three megacities, they are Chang'an, Jiankang and Linzi, the first sea giant ship is to serve in the South Seas, many people think it is appropriate to name "Jiankang".
At the beginning, the center did want to name it "Jiankang", and then Liu Yan directly intervened before finally deciding to name it "Linzi", but like Fu Wei, no one knows why Liu Yan made such a choice.
Liu Yan will have that choice, in fact, there is nothing else, if there is a super city in Liaodong, he will choose a big city in Liaodong to name the new giant ship, the key is that there is no one in Liaodong.
There is no need for Liu Yan to explain this kind of "fun" to anyone, he is just because there is no super city in Liaodong, and because Linzi is close to that side, he simply named the new giant ship "Linzi".
"The naval establishment of the Tianzhu Protectorate does not have gunboats, and the scale of ships for combat purposes is only 320."
Qian Jiantong looked at Fu Wei very jealously, and said with a taste: "The Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate alone has eighty percent of the original gunboats, and there is such a huge ship, with a ship size of more than two thousand. ” Fu Wei was also jealous that there were three standing armies in the Tianzhu Protectorate.
They had only one standing army under the establishment of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, but it was split into three divisions, which were stationed in various garrisons and then split piecemeal.
The largest station is also two songs, to whom to cry "It's the same as the Duhu Mansion, and there are at least countries around the Tianzhu Duhufu" Fu Wei didn't hide his jealousy at all: "The Great Han is definitely going to conquer the entire Asan Continent." ” Qian Jiantong also thinks so.
He is a little pitiful Fu Wei, there are no countries around the South Seas at all, some are the sea and islands, even if it is a meritorious service to discover a new island, but can it be compared with military merit, there is a point, he is not a marquis now, but Fu Wei is already a marquis.
"What are you talking about" Si Hongzhuang went to the bridge first, and when he saw the two of them at the bow of the boat, he came over.
He kept looking at the ships around the flagship, and said with emotion: "In less than eight years, Dahan has a navy of this size. ” The two people who were still talking, I don't know what kind of mood they were in, they looked at Si Hongzhuang's eyes with pity.
There are a lot of countries around Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, and Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate has the task of exploring the maritime frontier, and Annan Metropolitan Protectorate is the character who is wrapped in the middle.
What the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate can do is probably to touch the deep mountains and old forests to catch savages, and then to monitor the fiefdoms of various families, there is really nothing else to do.
Si Hongzhuang was a little uncomfortable by the eyes of the two, and he didn't understand what the reason was at first, but when he came back to his senses, he didn't care at all and said: "It will take a long, long time for the local grain-producing area of Dahan to take shape.
Prior to this, the Annam Prefecture was the largest producer of grain to the mainland.
If the two major local grain-producing areas are formed, will the status decline?"
In terms of jurisdiction, the Annam Prefecture is currently the largest of the four major prefectures, and in terms of area, it is almost one-fifth the size of the mainland.
Because of the equatorial relationship, that side has also been developed by those families for many years, and has always taken on the great responsibility of delivering food to the homeland, and the political status is not low at all.
There is no object to fight against is not a matter at all for the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, and Si Hongzhuang also knows very well what kind of task he has as the Metropolitan Protector of the Annam, ensuring the delivery of food is the primary task, and then it is necessary to keep an eye on those families.
As long as there is no mistake in the important task of transporting grain to the local area under the jurisdiction of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, Si Hongzhuang knows that even if he doesn't do anything, waiting for the term of office to be transferred back to China, a position of Shangshu is definitely not a matter of running.
"Tianzhu Duhufu also has a grain-producing area" Qian Jiantong didn't want to quarrel with Si Hongzhuang, with full longing: "I heard that the output of the Ganges River basin and the Indus River basin can feed 10,000 people" At this moment, Fu Wei's heart was stuffed.
The Han Empire had successively introduced national policies to encourage childbearing, and only idiots were to some extent unaware of what that meant.
In order to increase the population, the environment is generally peaceful, not the first element, in fact, the most important thing is to ensure that there is enough food.
Whether in recent years or for a long time to come, the political position will not be shaken if a place can provide a large amount of food.
"There's seafood in the sea."
Si Hongzhuang smiled and said to Fu Wei: "When you are exploring the sea frontier, fishing is also an entry. ” Fu Wei rolled his eyes and said nothing.
The Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the Rising Sea and even further seas are not unfamiliar to the Han people, and there are still Han fishing boats in the fishing season "It's not like there's nothing else to do besides fishing."
Qian Jiantong felt that in the future, he would still need the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate to provide maritime support, and he would not learn from Si Hongzhuang to fight Fu Wei, and said: "Didn't the exploration team find copper mines in Luzon, Dahan has always lacked copper, you can start with this." ” Fu Wei rolled his eyes again.
He still doesn't know that Luzon has been explored for a super-giant copper mine It's one thing to have a copper mine, it's another thing to be in charge of it, Fu Wei, as the protector of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, has been told that it will return to the Shaofu over there, otherwise he will be depressed.
"Don't be complacent."
Fu Wei hid his depression and pretended to be extremely energetic: "We will definitely find Nanchanbuzhou, and you want to compare the credit with me when the time comes."
If you accept the opinion, it will be called Nanchanbu Zhou
