Chapter 136: Changes in Sichuan (Part 2)

The ministers left behind in Sichuan were absolutely loyal to Shu Han, and Yang Xi, Fan Jian, Qiao Zhou and others were all important officials left by the Zhuge Liang period. Although the crown prince Liu Zhan fell ill, the country and government affairs were still the same as usual, without any impact.

Huo Yi, the General of the Cavalry, led more than 10,000 troops to Baidi City earlier, which was a means to deal with the increase in troops from Jiangdong Baqiu.

Developing internal affairs well and supplying the front line is the main task of Sichuan, but it is not enough to do this alone. The territory of Shu Han has expanded, and the two prefectures of Yongliang need a group of local officials from Shu Han to serve. Among the surrendered officials and generals of Wei State, some of them will be selected to stay in the local area and continue to serve, while the other part will be transferred to Sichuan to serve.

Medical clinics have also been set up in central Sichuan to treat ordinary people, and the people only need to pay some of the medicinal materials. After Liu Chan's vigorous promotion and support in central China, the doctor industry has gradually gotten rid of its humble position in the past and has become popular instead.

In the past, doctors who were well-known among the people were recruited by government officials in various places, either gave them fixed houses as teaching and practicing medicine, or provided them with special talismans according to their preferences so that they could enjoy them everywhere.

Get the convenience you deserve. There are a large number of students in every prefecture, county, township and county, who are taught medical skills and collecting medicine and practicing medicine.

After Ma Jun entered Sichuan, the status of craftsmen suddenly increased, and Liu Shao, who was in the Hu Leique, became his introductory disciple. Ma Jun is old and has limited energy. Although he still looks older and stronger, he still focuses on cultivation at this age.

Many famous craftsmen in Sichuan came here to learn from the country, and when they were used by the country, they became a magic weapon for promotion. Being able to learn Ma Jun’s two or three points is enough to live a worry-free life; those who learn four or five points can be called masters; those who learn everything like Liu Shao are the national treasures.

Craftsmen are indispensable in all walks of life. These people have been improved and valued, so they are more focused on their own industries. Invisibly, from infrastructure to all walks of life, they have begun to show signs of being incompatible with this era.

A small invention or even just a change has brought great help and transformation to life, the country, and the people. The more and more small changes, it has led to a qualitative leap. Ma Jun conceived many things, but no one paid attention to them and could not be done with his own strength.

Now in Shu Han, I have received the support of Liu Chan's rights and needs money and people. The ideas in my mind can finally be put into practice. I can express my ideas before I can do it, so naturally some people are willing to try it.

In particular, Ma Jun led a group of disciples to Nanzhong and made a lot of attempts and improvements in the mining and training of iron ore. After several months of hard work, from exploration methods, to refining tools and facilities, to forging techniques, the purity of weapons and armor made through new forging techniques is much higher than that of the swords, guns and armor being used.

The sharpness of the weapon is enough to cut off any existing weapons and armor without any hindrance, and the toughness of the armor can also prevent attacks in the general sense. The significant upgrade of the military has given Shu Han a new killer weapon in future battles.

In the process of iron smelting and forging equipment, the success rate is only 30% or 40% of the usual ones, which is the result of months of hard work. At the beginning, there were not enough hardware facilities, so I could only use new technologies to forge new tools, and then gradually improve and stabilize efficiency.

There are more and more people moving from southern countries to Nanzhong. Most of them are foreigners who have difficulty living and are proficient in Chinese. They come to Nanzhong thousands of miles away to survive. Huleque's personnel have long developed to southern countries, tempting, recruiting, and threatening elites from all walks of life. Then they are sent to the country through the caravan situation. These are things that Liu Chan had already planned when he was in Sichuan.

Digging feet is also a science. Through observation and inquiry, we can understand their personality preferences and family background. Then we gradually get closer and find opportunities to try various means, and bring all these talents to Shu without disturbing the governments of various countries.

Some people completed the task well, but some people did not do it well or were lucky. The southern countries gradually discovered that their talents were lost, but the countries themselves were hostile. If they wanted to mention this matter to Shu Han, they had no confidence and could only endure it. However, they kept collecting evidence in secret and even sent people to obstruct them.

At first, both sides were alert and very sensitive. Once they found that something was wrong, they would stop. Shu Han were experienced personnel conducting secret activities. Most of the southern countries sent their own guards and warriors. Some were irritable, some were reckless, and some were greedy for merit. There were dragons and snakes and birds.

Finally one day, a chaos broke out, and two Huleque members were killed by local troops in the downtown area. Huleque members were all acting secretly, and they were all merchants and tourists on the surface. Therefore, except for the senior management of both sides, ordinary people seemed to have just died two people, and nothing special.

The local personnel stationed in Shu Han did not dare to make a big deal, so they could only send the news to Ma Cheng and wait for instructions. Seeing that the Han people had no action, the king of this small country couldn't help but take care of Waiwai, so he found an excuse to start seizing the Han people's warehouses and property.

The local Han people were weak and could not resist. They believed that they were caravans, so they let these foreigners deal with it. Ma Cheng signed an alliance with the king of this small country, and the Han people were confident that this matter would be resolved peacefully.

However, things often go against your wishes. You can easily get so much wealth. The king was so angry that he began to question the Han people, but he also contacted other countries to prepare to plunder the wealth of the Han people.

These countries were also in a state of war and did not dare to accept this inexplicable invitation for a while. They waited until the sent people came back to inquire about the news and realized that this was true. This was an opportunity to get rich. Moreover, the Han people were tampering with each other, so it was not too much to do so. So several countries that colluded with each other attacked the Han people in their own country.

Ma Cheng and Zhang Yi received the message almost at the same time. If such a major event is not handled properly, the good situation of hard work will be ruined.

Ma Cheng traveled to various countries with knowledge and Zhang Yi was in a key position and resourceful position. At that time, Zhang Yi rectified his arms and went to rescue everyone. Ma Cheng sent envoys to various countries to explain the reasons and asked all countries to unite to fight against these small countries that did not keep their promises.

The far away is only support, but the closest countries are eager to try. Everyone has heard of the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers. They fight with the Han soldiers and are coalition forces of various countries. Such a beautiful thing is like a pie falling from the sky.

Just when the kings of several small countries were proud, Zhang Yi's five thousand barbarians and Ma Cheng's 40,000 coalition forces came together. The disparity in power made Zhang Yi, Ma Cheng and others easily break through these small countries. Not many Han people rescued, most of them died tragically in torture during interrogation, and most of them survived were tortured.

In a fit of rage, Ma Cheng and Zhang Yi executed all the royal families of these countries to serve as a warning. Generals of various countries in the coalition army had seen the combat power of the Han army. Compared with the Han army for 40,000 people on their side were simply a mob. After being rage, Ma Cheng took back his own property and plundered the treasury of several countries. The land was divided by the countries that formed the coalition army in accordance with the agreement, and the money was divided by the Han army and the coalition army.

The matter soon spread throughout the southern countries. While shocking the Han people's military power, the countries envied several countries that benefited. Usually, they could not gain any advantage after fighting for three or five years. Now they get a large area of ​​land and resources in a battle with the Han army. Why did such a beautiful thing not fall on themselves?

Some countries also secretly thanked that the personnel they sent did not do anything excessive, otherwise they would anger the Han people. Not to mention these craftsmen and craftsmen, their heads fell off first. It would be more stressful to stop the Han people from plundering the population, because this little thing made the country destroyed and the people died.

That being said, but how many craftsmen are there in my country? If the Han people continue to dig like this, I am afraid that the country will not be far from destruction. The Han people are too strong to provoke, but other countries are not short of weak ones, and they have to pick up the persimmons.

After Shu Han showed his powerful force, some smart kings sent envoys to negotiate with Ma Cheng, hoping to get the support of the Han army to attack other countries.

The Han people did not participate in the struggles between countries, which was clearly stipulated at the beginning, and there was nothing to talk about. Ma Cheng refused everyone. The envoys from various countries had made careful preparations when they came, so they offered various favorable conditions, including manpower and resource reserves that were rarely sold to the outside world.

After all, countries that have come to know each other are not fools. When many countries go to the Han people for assistance, they are not willing to be with the help of others. How can we survive with the help of the Han people? We all have different strengths, but it is not very different. If you can take advantage of it, I will double it. At this time, you can't feel sorry for your capital. Once you get the help of the Han people, it is not easy to conquer cities and territory.

For a time, envoys from various countries kept visiting Ma Cheng, which made Ma Cheng overwhelmed. Seeing the situation in the southern countries, Ma Cheng and Zhang Yi discussed it and found it profitable, so they sent an envoy to send the documents to Chengdu and asked Chengdu to hand it over to Liu Chan, who was fighting in the north.

When Liu Chan learned that his beloved son was sick, he had no intention of dealing with political affairs. After discussing with his ministers, he stayed with Jiang Wei to govern Yong and Liangzhou, and Liao Hua guarded Chang'an. He brought more than a thousand people back to Chengdu quickly.

Liu Zhan is the only seven sons of Liu Chan, which makes Liu Chan feel guilty, and he has had feelings for his sons for many years. Wei, Shu, and Wu have entered the stage of cultivation, and there will be no war in the moment, so he took the opportunity to return to Sichuan.

Liu Zhan's condition, Empress Zhang and her beloved son who had not seen each other for half a year were both in Chengdu. Liu Chan returned home without stopping along the way and finally arrived in Chengdu.

The deployment of the Shu army in Chang'an and Yongliang could not be concealed by the Wei people. It was less than a month since they lost this vast land. The Wei people wanted to take it back at all times. When they heard that Liu Chan returned to Sichuan and Jiang Wei guarded Yongliang, Sima Zhao was secretly happy, so he summoned civil and military officials to discuss the issue of sending troops.
