After Lu Ji, Gu Shao and other bachelors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences left, Yizhou immediately launched a massive development and construction project.

With the assistance of gunpowder, they could cut mountains and dig roads extremely quickly, which was simply an artifact of engineering development.

In addition to the development and construction of Yizhou, the secret passage between Yizhou and Shan State is also being explored in full swing.

With the assistance of hot air balloons, the Yizhou Army can send soldiers to overlook the ground from high altitude. Searching with this kind of vision is simply getting twice the result with half the effort.

It took half a month and hard exploration to finally open the secret passage between Yizhou and Shan.

When they looked at the undeveloped tropical rainforest and the few primitive tribes, they felt like crying with joy.

In fact, in later generations, a certain county in Yunnan had a direct road to Xiandian, separated only by an iron mesh, and there were still commercial transactions between them.

However, this is the Han Dynasty, where the later generations of Xidian are located. Today's Guojia is the Shan Kingdom, which has not yet been fully developed and constructed, and everything is in a tribal state.

Facing the arrival of the Yizhou Army, the foreign people from the Shan tribe were all a little surprised, and they all took out local specialties in exchange for things.

——This is actually how the powerful families in Yunnan, at the southern end of Yizhou, made their fortunes.

There are jade and other minerals here in the Shan country. You only need to use more ordinary items such as food and daily necessities to exchange for more expensive jade by taking advantage of the information gap.

They didn't know that all the powerful families in the southern end of Yizhou had been killed by Zhuge Liang and his Yizhou army.

In the past few months, no trade had been carried out, and everyone was a little worried. Now after seeing these Han troops, they were not surprised but happy, and gathered around them one by one.

This made the Han army a little embarrassed. They didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only deal with it and pass the news back to Yizhou.

When the news came back to Yizhou, Zhuge Liang and others held a high-level meeting.

After final discussion, it was decided to garrison the Shan Kingdom and exchange food for the support of the local people.

Communication pigeons were used to deliver the message back and forth, and the soldiers on the front line immediately followed suit.

These people are very realistic. Whoever can give them a bite of food and make them have enough food and clothing will follow whoever they want to work for.

Of course, there were some strong backers, all of whom were local tyrants and landowners in the Shan country. However, under the strong suppression of the Han army, they either died or surrendered.

It didn't take long for the entire Shan country to fall into the hands of the Han.

After the front line was stabilized and absolute rule was achieved, Yizhou civil servants and generals immediately widened this"business road" and even used gunpowder to dig out mountains and finally lay cement roads.

Their main goal was not to rule the Shan Kingdom, but to find opportunities to advance westward.

According to their current topographic map, if they can reach Shan State, they can continue to move westward to attack Shendu State.

The country of Shendu is actually the location of Yindu in later generations.

There is the fertile Ganges Plain, and it can also enter the Indian Ocean through the Bay of Bengal, and then trade with Western European countries.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong troops captured the countries in the Mekong River Basin, which has opened up the strategic points for the Han Dynasty to march into the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

This allowed the Han Dynasty's Maritime Silk Road to no longer need to pass through the Strait of Malacca and not be restricted by the local Guo Jia.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis in the Strait of Malacca.

If their Yizhou army can seize Shendu State, they can also open up another land passage from Yizhou and open up the road between Nanhai and India to cross the ocean.

There are many advisers in the Yizhou Army, such as Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others, who are all top advisers.

In the original history, there was no such detailed world map, so it was naturally impossible to understand the important strategic significance of the location of Indu.

What's more, in the original history of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony, the Han Dynasty's domestic heroes competed for hegemony in the Central Plains and had no energy to consider overseas.

Several dynasties in later generations always focused on the country of the Han Dynasty, but did not look to the ocean, thus losing the opportunity of the age of navigation.

Coupled with the Qing Dynasty's seclusion and Yelang's arrogance, the Chinese civilization, an ancient country that had been ranked first in the world for five thousand years, gradually declined step by step.

After Liu Chen unified the Han Dynasty and ended the situation of the heroes fighting for hegemony, he wanted to bring the Han Dynasty to the whole world and draw the attention of those in the Han Dynasty to the world!

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Once you have experienced the majesty of the world, you will never feel at ease confined to East Asia.

With the tens of thousands of years of civilization inherited by the Han people, and with the strong strength of the Han people today, it is easy to conquer the world.

Coupled with Liu Chen's reforms in medical treatment, knowledge, technology, etc., the big man will only steadily become stronger!

And that knowledge will not change incorrectly because it is not guided correctly, or it will not end because it is difficult to explore.

——In fact, a lot of mathematics and physics knowledge in later generations had already appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and several dynasties in later generations also corrected and filled in the gaps.

Zhuge Liang and other Yizhou advisers understood that the end of Liu Chen's ten-year rest plan would be the beginning of his global conquest.

Therefore, they understood the importance of the location of Shan Kingdom (northern Xiandian) and Shendu Kingdom (Yindu).

This is the reason why they spent so much manpower, material and financial resources to explore the secret trade routes between Yizhou and Shan.

If the strategic location of Shendu Country is captured, it will be a springboard for the Han army to march into the West in the future, making it even more perfect.

Now that they have finally broken through the Shan Kingdom, if they can seize the Shendu Kingdom, it will definitely be a great achievement.

It is not at all inferior to the military achievements of Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong troops in conquering the countries in the Mekong River Basin.

The Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, from top to bottom, will surely rise to heaven and be promoted for their service!

So.

After the frontline soldiers stabilized the Shan Kingdom, Zhuge Liang and others immediately arranged the construction of roads between Yizhou and Shan Kingdom.

If you encounter high mountains and dangerous areas, you can directly use gunpowder to dig a road through the mountain. If even gunpowder is difficult to solve, you can directly choose to take a detour or even cross the mountains.

If you encounter a poisonous jungle, just draw an isolation zone and set it on fire.

However, the humidity in the tropical rainforest is extremely high, and burning is extremely inconvenient. The smoke and dust are billowing, so fire attack is obviously the next best option.

The soldiers even carried saws and cut down the trees one by one.

Any difficulties and obstacles will not change their determination to move westward.

It was with this united effort that after several months, they finally built a cement road from Yunnan in the southern tip of Yizhou to Shan State.

The Yizhou Army also entered the Shan Kingdom in large numbers.

This is actually the northern part of Shidian in later generations.

If you want to continue southward and look towards the Bay of Bengal, you need to cross the Irrawaddy River, the Arakan Mountains, and many large and small mountains and rivers.

Only in this way can we reach the southern part of Xiandian.

Only by stationing in the south of Xiandian to serve as a springboard and supplementing logistics can we continue to advance westward to attack Shendu Country.

It can be said that for the Yizhou Army, opening up the road between Yizhou and Shan State is just the beginning of their westward march.
