Chapter 1342: Han Banner World (32) Meeting
In front of Wang Xiao's tomb, Wang Jian cried loudly and fell to the ground. Scenes from a few years ago flashed before his eyes. The Qin army had been blocked from retreating, and tens of thousands of Qin people were crowded into a small area. With no reinforcements, no way to the sky, and no way to the earth, his father ordered him to lead the last elite into the desert to escape. In order to cover himself, he launched a desperate attack on the Han army, and finally died on the battlefield. And the grave was built for him by his enemies back then.
A few years later, he once again returned to the battlefield of the past, but his enemies had turned into friends, and he needed the support of the big man.
The tombstone was engraved very simply, with the words "Tomb of Qin General Wang Xiao" and "Gao Yuan Jinli" simply written on it, but it could be seen that it was all a few years ago. The tombstone was very clean, and obviously There was always someone taking care of him. After three bows and nine kowtows, Wang Jian stood up, turned around, and faced Gao Yuan, clasping his fists with both hands, and bowing to the ground. .
"Thank you very much, King Gaoyi of Han, for keeping my late father's body in check for the last general, so that it would not be exposed in the wild and be eaten by wild beasts. The bones of the body are intact. Wang Jian is extremely grateful."
"General, there is no need to be polite." He helped Wang Jian and Gao Yuan said: "The two armies are fighting, and each has his own master. No one on the battlefield will be merciful, but after the war is over, these things are what we should do. Although our Han army is fighting against General Wang Xiao, we still admire General Wang very much. I am worthy of being a famous general for being able to find a way out for you in such a desperate situation. This achievement is primarily due to General Wang’s decision back then.”
Wang Jian choked and nodded.
"General, do you really want to take General Wang's body away for burial?" Zhou Yuan came over and looked at Wang Jian: "Although the General has decided to establish a country, it is not his hometown after all. After we old guys die in the future, I will be buried here, and General Wang will not be lonely under the spring. Gathering with old guys like us who have been enemies and friends all our lives, there will definitely be endless things to talk about and endless fights to fight. Isn’t it better? Where would it be better for you to move it?”
"Brother Zhou is confused." Tian Dan shook his head and said: "General Wang has decided to establish a country, so it is natural to re-establish the ancestral temple. In the future, General Wang will spread his branches in foreign lands. The incense is endless, so General Wang can also enjoy it Of course it’s good to go there for the sacrifices and incense of our children and grandchildren.”
"Yes, I'm a little bit reluctant to leave it. In the future, if I want to offer another stick of incense or a glass of wine for Brother Wang, it will be difficult. The desert is vast and it's impossible for us old guys to go there!" Zhou Yuan was somewhat agitated. sad.
"Thank you all, sir!" Wang Jian clasped his fists and bowed to the people around him. At this time, everyone around him was once a powerful figure on this continent. "Everyone is welcome to visit us at any time."
After the memorial ceremony, Gao Yuan took Wang Jian back to the Jiang family's residence. The two sat opposite each other on a short table.
However, Jiang Jiaquan was with Zhou Yuan, Tian Dan and others. I picked up the fishing rod and brought the fishing basket. I leisurely went fishing by the lake.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to establish a country." Wang Jian bowed slightly and said to Gao Yuan. Along the way, the strength of the Han Kingdom has far exceeded his knowledge, compared to a few years ago. The Han Dynasty has already climbed several steps, from Mengchi to Dayan County, from Dayan County to the bank of Dayan Lake, everything you see, hear, feel and think. Everything made Wang Jian feel horrified. In particular, the Han Kingdom easily built supply camps every hundred miles in the desert, which made Wang Jian clear that if the Han Dynasty wanted to deal with him, it would not be too difficult. What I once thought was the natural danger of the desert was nothing in the eyes of the other party.
"General Wang went on an expedition alone and conquered a large territory in foreign lands, which shows the power of Greater China. Gao Yuan also admires him very much." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This world is very big, and there is room for you and me to coexist. I don't know what the name of the country was when General Wang founded the country. what is it then?"
Gao Yuan smiled and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Wang Jian.
"The country's name is Qin!" Wang Jian blurted out.
Gao Yuan's smile faltered slightly, "Why Qin?"
"The king clearly knows that Wang Jian must have been born in Qin, and the Qin Kingdom in the Central Plains will soon be in the possession of the Han Dynasty and will no longer exist. Wang Jian only has a thought. I hope your Majesty will realize that it’s not that Wang Jian is thinking about something else!”
Gao Yuan laughed heartily, "It doesn't matter, whether it's Qin or Han, it's just a name after all, but that area is not peaceful!"
Wang Jian nodded, "At first, I thought it was a paradise, but the sudden arrival of the army in black clothes made Wang Jian truly realize how big the world is. When he was in Qin State, he only thought that the Central Plains was big enough. If you really don’t step out, you will never know that you are a frog in the well!”
Gao Yuan smiled and took a globe he made from the desk behind him, placed it between the two of them, put one hand on the top of the globe, and turned it around a few times, "General Wang, please take a look."
"What is this?" Wang Jian looked at the thing in front of him, somewhat confused.
Pointing to a place on the globe, Gao Yuan said: "Here is our big man, this yellow place. And the place where General Wang is should be right here."
"This is a map. Why is it made into a sphere?" Wang Jian stepped forward and asked with some confusion.
Of course Gao Yuan would not spread the knowledge to Wang Jian that the earth was originally a star in the universe. He just smiled and said: "This seems more convenient and does not take up space."
"That's true. In this case, if you turn around and look, it will be very clear." Wang Jian nodded. "It's just that the big man is so big, why is there only such a small space on this ball?"
Gao Yuan circled the earth with his fingers: "We big men are not big. You see, I call this large area Yazhou, and we big men are one of them. Of course, we are already the biggest one." Well, other places are much smaller than us, and this one, I call it Europe, there are many countries there, and they also have very powerful political powers, but they are all white people, with tall noses and deep eyes, and Our appearance is very different. And this area, I call it Africa, but the people here are all black, even the skin is black. There should also be this area, I call it America. Brilliant culture, and I call this area Oceania.”
Wang Jian was stunned, "How does the king know these places?"
"It's very simple!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "I sent out the navy of the Han Dynasty, wandering around the world, and naturally found these places. All these blue things are the sea. Look, no matter where these places are, They are all connected to the sea, so my navy can naturally find them."
Gao Yuan, who was making nonsense, blamed all the discoveries of these places on his navy. In fact, at this time, his navy had never been to these places at all, and the Han navy had only reached Persian control at the farthest. area. As for Europe, the United States, and Africa, they are all still symbols on the map, and Gao Yuan himself drew them randomly based on his memory.
"The world is so big!" Wang Jian's voice was trembling. He looked at the yellow area representing the big man, and then at the other large tracts of land of different colors. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yes, the world is very big." Gao Yuan pointed to a piece of land, "General Wang, this piece of land is the area currently controlled by Dashi. Although I have never seen the Dashi people, I know a little about them. , the current Dashi should be divided into two countries: the white-clothed Dashi and the black-clothed Dashi. They are constantly fighting each other, but the strength of any one of them is not something you can compete with. Yes, what you encountered is a big food in black clothes.”
Wang Jian's face changed slightly, "Just a black-clothed big food is no longer something I can resist. If they complete the reunification, wouldn't they be able to easily destroy me?"
"Theoretically, that's the case, but I'm afraid it's not easy to tell the winner between them, so General Wang doesn't have to worry too much. Besides, General Wang used to be isolated and helpless on the other side of the desert, so it was naturally difficult to resist him. But now that General Wang has decided to form an alliance with me, how can we just watch them bully you? Although Dashi is strong, I, the man, have not taken them seriously yet."
"Will the big man help us?"
"Of course." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "But General Wang, we are now at a critical moment in unifying the Central Plains. It is impossible for me to send troops to help you, but we will vigorously provide you with weapons. Whatever you want Weapons make you worry-free.”
After hearing Gao Yuan say that it was impossible to send troops there, Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, this aid cannot be given to you in vain. We can only trade. If you buy it with money, we will give you a discount on the price." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"We are in a remote and remote area. Is there anything worthy of your attention, Your Majesty?"
"No, no, no, everywhere has its own specialties." Gao Yuan shook his head like a salesman: "For example, your place produces gems and jade, and the quality is high, which we can't compare with here, and there are , The grapes you have there are excellent raw materials for making wine, and Wu’s wine industry is coveting them. As soon as they heard that I was going to form an alliance with you, they eagerly wanted to send people to buy them, or buy land to grow them themselves! "
Although Wang Jian is a leading general, he has been leading an army for the past few years, so he certainly doesn't know anything about people's livelihood. Listening to the meaning of Gao Yuan's words, he couldn't help but pondered: "Does the king mean that both sides should open up trade?"
"Of course, the business exchanges between the two sides will make the people rich and we can also collect taxes. This is a matter of mutual benefit." Gao Yuan smiled and quietly extended his claws. Under Wang Jian, the military industry was extremely If they fall behind, the Han will freely supply the ordnance industry that is far ahead of them, which will inevitably restrict Wang Jian from developing his own arsenal industry to the greatest extent. Over time, Wang Jian's lifeline will be in the hands of the Han, and the business of the Han will be The large-scale invasion will slowly control the economy of that region. In this way, Wang Jian's Great Qin will only become a professional thug of the Han Dynasty in the future. (To be continued...)
