Chapter 194
Above the court, the officials all had thick smiles on their faces.
Because the crown prince of Great Qin, His Royal Highness Fusu, is finally about to return triumphantly.
"Haha, my Fusu is finally coming back!"
"This carrier pigeon is really a good thing!"
"If it was before, Xianyang City was almost 10,000 miles away from Fusang Island, and there was no way to keep in touch at all!"
"Now it's delivered in two days!"
Ying Zheng said with a smile.
The implementation of the county system of Daqin, Xianyang City and the communication of various places are the core elements.
To this end, Yingzheng deliberately built gallop roads and straight roads, and also set up countless pavilions and posts, and implemented a maximum of 800 miles of fast horse system.
At the border passes, beacon towers and wolf smoke were also used.
In order to be able to get news from all over the country as soon as possible, and strengthen the centralized control.
However, even if the war horse does not want to run, it will always be limited by the geographical environment.
It is said that it is 800 miles, in fact, in most cases, even if you change horses without changing people, it is difficult to gallop day and night.
It takes several days to arrive at Xianyang City from the border pass.
And this delay of several days, in many cases, is fatal.
However, with the carrier pigeons brought by Fusu, everything was different.
The carrier pigeon flying high in the air is basically not limited by the environment, and the speed is much faster than that of a war horse running on the ground.
One day is enough for a carrier pigeon to fly two or three thousand miles away, and the speed is several times that of a war horse!
And the communication distance is also extremely long, even across the vast sea!
Fusang Island is thousands of miles away from Xianyang City, and carrier pigeons can fly back accurately!
Nowadays, all the post houses in Daqin have added pigeon cages, and all the post men are learning how to raise and take care of carrier pigeons.
This not only does not increase the cost, but saves a lot.
Because compared to war horses, even dozens of carrier pigeons can't consume much feed in a day.
Daqin even issued a special law that those who shoot carrier pigeons without permission will be punished with heavy punishment, and those who treat carrier pigeons and send them to the government will be rewarded by the government.
Moreover, in order to decipher the confidential content, the Daqin version of the ciphertext was also specially developed.
It can be seen how important the carrier pigeon is to Daqin.
"If I'm not mistaken, the new batch of Wuyalou ships should be launched, right?"
Ying Zheng said.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
Nesteng was surprised.
"That's good, pass the order, let the sailor get ready, I will personally go to this Bohai to meet the triumphant division of Fusu!"
"So I can see with my own eyes, this sea is so big!"
Ying Zheng said with a happy face.
On his previous tour to the east, although he had arrived at Huiji County, he had not really arrived at the seaside.
As for Xu Fu going to sea, what he sent to him was only the county guard, and it was impossible for Yingzheng to go out in person.
Therefore, until now, Ying Zheng has not really seen the sea.
For the magnificence of the sea depicted by Fusu, I have long been yearning for it.
After such a huge achievement in Fusu, he couldn't sit still at all.
......
"Father is already on his way to Songhai City?"
When he received Yingzheng's handwritten reply, Fusu was slightly surprised, and then smiled a little more.
It seems that the huge harvest of the conquest of Fusang Island has made Yingzheng and the civil and military officials completely realize the importance of the sea to the future of Great Qin.
Ying Zheng is going to take the opportunity to welcome the triumphant division to experience the feeling of the sea.
This must be a great thing for Daqin.
As the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, Xianyang City has many advantages, such as being close to the border pass, the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the core of the Central Plains, which is convenient to control.
The biggest flaw is that it is too inland and too far from the ocean.
For this reason, Fusu built the Grand Canal, which is to pass through the Grand Canal and shorten the distance between Xianyang City and the seaside.
As a traverser, Fusu is well aware of the importance of maritime strategy.
The marine economy is definitely the mainstream of Daqin's next development, and it is also the only way for Daqin to realize the empire on which the sun never sets.
Otherwise, even if you can lay a huge land, you can't maintain enough influence, and it will be difficult to hold on for a long time.
And now it is still in the era of B.C., and many of the rich continents of later generations are still wild lands.
As long as it can be discovered by Daqin, it can completely belong to Daqin.
It is definitely a great harvest of great profits, and it is also the hope of Daqin in the future.
Despite these, Fusu has also been emphasizing in the court before.
But after all, Xianyang City is too far away from the sea, and Yingzheng and the officials can never have an intuitive feeling.
I always feel that the sea is too strange, too far away, full of unknowns and uncertainties.
This is certainly not very good news for Fusu's great navigation strategy.
Obviously, Ying Zheng also realized this and took measures directly.
That is to say, it is better to do it, directly take the important ministers of the court, in the name of welcoming the triumphant division, to the seaside, and let Fusu teach them another lesson.
is worthy of the first emperor, this strategic vision and pioneering courage far surpass the rest.
......
The entire Great Qin was boiling again.
If it is said that the imperial court announced part of the harvest of Fuso Island before, the influence was mainly concentrated in the common people and merchants driven by interests.
This time, Ying Zheng personally led hundreds of civil and military officials from Xianyang City and followed the river to the seashore thousands of miles away to meet Fusu, which means that Daqin's emphasis on the sea has reached a new height, and even a strategic transformation.
From expanding the territory of a separate land, to joining the maritime strategy, go hand in hand!
Ying Zheng personally went to the seaside, one is to highlight the importance and commendation of the Fusu Great Navigation Strategy, and the other is to inspect the sea frontier and blue territory of Daqin!
At this moment, all the powerful and wealthy families couldn't sit still.
Countless people set off from the counties and counties of Daqin to Songhai City, the estuary of the Great River, wanting to witness this great change involving the entire Daqin.
It also included many envoys from various countries stationed in Xianyang City.
Especially countries with coastlines.
Great Qin's great voyage, these foreign countries by the sea, are the most empathetic.
They have personally witnessed the sheer size and energy of the Wuyalou ship.
During this time, I saw the crazy launching speed of the Wuyalou ship.
Moreover, it is said that Daqin also has a super giant ship that is several times larger than the Wuyalou ship, which is under construction.
Once successful, the entire world's oceans will belong to Great Qin.
And who else can escape the influence of Great Qin after monopolizing the entire ocean?
"The future of Seleucids can only rely on Great Qin!"
"Replying to His Majesty Great Qin, we agree to all the conditions proposed by His Highness Fusu before!"
Seleucus IV sighed and said with a lonely expression.
In this era, it is already Daqin's!
