Chapter 283 Eastern World
Taoist Guanyun left, his figure was bleak, sad and heavy, more helpless and angry.
After his figure disappeared, Zhang Hao and Zhao Huaiyun, the Crown Prince of the Jinyang Kingdom, looked at each other. Their eyes shone sharply. There was vigilance and... admiration in both eyes! And the "enemy" is engraved in the eyes
This is the second meeting and the second confrontation between the two, and the first meeting was when Zhang Hao went to the Kingdom of Jinyang.
After staring at each other for a while, Zhao Huaiyun sneered: "Minister Zhang, Young Master Zhang, I admire you. Gu missed it at the time. I didn't expect you to be able to kill someone with a single word."
Zhang Hao smiled: "Your Highness is wrong, I didn't ask you to kill people, I just asked you to prove something. For example, you can capture the other party. But Your Highness... tsk tsk, the method is really cruel, and I also borrowed My words kill.
I really admire it! "
The two looked at each other again, and Zhao Huaiyun smiled: "Maybe. Then, let's say goodbye. Your country's friendship... is really precious!"
"Because you are expensive, you are sincere. In this way, the friendship between our two countries will not be easily shaken. What do you think, Your Highness?"
The corner of Zhao Huaiyun's mouth twitched: "...it's really... so reasonable. But please, we have finished the negotiation now."
Zhang Hao nodded: "Yes, we have finished the negotiation. Then Huaishan Pass already belongs to the territory of Qixia Kingdom. So please, Your Highness."
Zhao Huaiyun's complexion quickly collapsed, and finally he snorted coldly, and ordered the surrounding officials and generals to retreat. More than 300,000 legions are preparing to withdraw from the West.
But after leaving the general's mansion, Zhao Huaiyun's eyes suddenly flashed coldly: "Zhou Chengde, the general of Zhenxi, and Ma Kui, the guard of Huaishan Pass, I order you to lead the army south immediately and attack the country of Danyang!"
"Ah..." Everyone was shocked, Prime Minister Pang Chong was a little surprised, Your Highness, are you confused?
"Lonely awake!" Zhao Huaiyun's expression flashed decisively, "The Qixia Kingdom has just signed a treaty, and said that the friendship between our two countries has been restored.
Of course I know this is nonsense, but one thing is certain, Qixia Kingdom will not attack casually again.
In fact, they don't have much strength to attack. Recently, Qixia Kingdom is attacking to the north, supporting the soon-to-be-destroyed Zhoushan Kingdom to resist Yanyun Kingdom. The country of Yanyun is somewhat unexpectedly powerful, enough for the country of Qixia to be busy for a while.
And I studied the recent national policy of Qixia Kingdom. They seem to be building up credibility now. Even the queen's title is 'Xinde', which sounds like a posthumous title.
Therefore, now is our best chance to attack the country of Danyang. And in the West, we will not need to defend! "
He Dongkui next to him was also thoughtful: "I agree with His Highness's suggestion. Taking advantage of the fact that the Danyang Kingdom doesn't know the situation here, we will directly lead the army to the south. As long as we can capture a county, we will have an account for the country. Yes. If we can capture two counties...then Qixia Country has nothing to say!
After all, he said just now that the Qixia Kingdom has a firm friendship with us!
It's time to put our friendship to the test. "
When everyone heard it, they nodded immediately. Yes, it's time to test the friendship between our two countries.
So the army did not return to the country of Jinyang at all, but went directly south to attack the country of Danyang.
This is the second attack of the Kingdom of Jinyang. Compared with the first attack, this attack is equally sudden and more sudden. No one would have thought that the Kingdom of Jinyang would be so crazy.
He was trembling from being beaten by the Qixia Kingdom just now, and immediately came to attack the Danyang Kingdom. But having said that, the country of Danyang is in chaos now, and it is really not the opponent of the country of Jinyang.
So more than 300,000 legions marched southward with anger. They were filled with anger at being bullied by the Qixia Kingdom, but they did not dare to fight with the Qixia Kingdom's army. But they didn't hesitate about the Danyang country in the south.
Hmph, I can't beat Qixia Country, can't I beat your chaotic Danyang Country!
Then, something weird happened. These legions that withdrew from the Qixia Kingdom (no problem, this is already the territory of the Qixia Kingdom) attacked the northwest of the Danyang Kingdom in one fell swoop with lightning speed.
After a few days, the Danyang Kingdom reacted, and when the Qixia Kingdom received the information, the Jinyang Kingdom had already conquered two counties! Then the Kingdom of Jinyang curled up resolutely, stopped attacking, and began to consolidate its occupied area and digest the fruits of victory.
The country of Danyang has no way to attack, because the country of Danyang has long been too busy to take care of itself, and the two counties that were captured are still in serious chaos.
Helpless, the country of Danyang can only ask for help from the country of Qixia.
But Qixia Country is now just as the prince of Jinyang Country expected, the domestic power is a bit stretched.
This kind of stretch is not only due to the lack of military strength of the Qixia Kingdom, but also the fact that the Qixia Kingdom is resuming production in the country, which requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources and so on.
The compensation negotiated from the Kingdom of Jinyang, etc., has not yet arrived. In addition, they have to go north to support the Kingdom of Zhoushan, which has increased the burden on the Kingdom of Qixia.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Qixia rejected the request of the Kingdom of Danyang with the just-signed "Huaishan Pass Treaty".
However, the country of Danyang is not waiting to die. Since the west is not bright, let's go to the east. This point was something neither Qixia Country nor Jinyang Country expected.
Although in the past we were all six western countries, but since you are going to destroy the country, I am sorry...bye everyone!
On the day when the Kingdom of Jinyang captured the two counties of the Kingdom of Danyang, Song Shang, the great ancestor of the Kingdom of Danyang, stopped Fu Yun who was about to pass through the checkpoint.
"The Kingdom of Danyang will become a subsidiary country of the Kingdom of Canglan?" Fu Yun looked at Song Shang in surprise, and was a little dazed for a while.
Subordinate country, what a determination! Fu Yun was shocked by Song Shang's decision.
Generally speaking, as one of the six western countries, the country of Danyang will fully accept it as long as it is willing to form an alliance with the country of Canglan. Why do you still want to become a subordinate country now? Do you know what vassal state means?
Facing Fu Yun's series of inquiries, Song Shang smiled helplessly: "Fellow Daoists, don't you know the current situation in the Danyang Kingdom? Our current situation, even if we can keep the country in the future, we will not have the strength to develop.
Fellow Daoists have seen the changes in the Qixia Kingdom in the west. A constitutional monarchy, the king is under the law, industry and commerce rejuvenate the country, replacing traditional classes.
Fellow Taoists may not have been a monarch, so they are not too sensitive to these news. I want to tell fellow Daoists that a whole new era has emerged. The country of Qixia... will surely become the hegemon of the western world.
But we who are sandwiched between the country of Qixia and the country of Canglan don't have much choice. "
Fu Yun leaned on the carriage, thoughtful, "That's not right, you are also a Western country, why don't you join the Qixia Kingdom? Why don't you learn the Qixia Kingdom's strategy?"
"It's not that simple!" Song Shang smiled wryly, "In our country of Danyang, the traditional nobles and families are still the pillars and foundation of the country. In the country of Qixia, the essence of the country has been changed through a war.
They have been planning it for a long time; when we try to do it, it is too late. Domestic nobles, families, etc. have already become vigilant. The massacre in the Qixia Kingdom... terrified them! "
Fu Yun frowned suddenly: "You mean, the massacre in Qixia Kingdom is actually a deep conspiracy?"
"That's right! The Qixia Kingdom's crazy killings, on the surface, seem to clean up the domestic nobles, families, etc. But in fact, it has completely intensified, made it public, and bloody the conflict between the traditional aristocratic families and the new industrial and commercial class. Let the two parties lose the possibility of final reconciliation!
This is a conspiracy.
Because of the crazy massacre in Qixia Kingdom, we can't change at all now. And all the big families are also strangling the industrial and commercial class, either explicitly or covertly.
And the royal family... at least the current royal family of Danyang Kingdom is the representative of the aristocratic family. We cannot change ourselves!
So we have no choice but to choose the Land of Canglan.
In addition, the current Danyang Kingdom is empty, and it is difficult for us to recover independently. I can only ask the Land of Canglan for help. "
After all, Song Shang looked at the convoy behind Fu Yun...a total of 4,000 carriages!
Back then, exactly sixteen days ago, Fu Yun led his team to set off from Qixia Country; but in the end, they wandered on the ground of Danyang Country for so many days. In half a month, Fu Yun's fleet increased from 2,000 to 4,000!
Fu Yun was a little embarrassed looking at Song Shang's eyes. But still bit the bullet and said: "I didn't take the initiative to rob, but they took the initiative to come up."
"I know..." Song Shang asked the sky speechlessly. You are a master in the stage of transformation, hiding your cultivation and running around, you have the nerve to say so. You have lost all the face of the god transformation stage!
But Fu Yun also has his own considerations - the Canglan Country is also very scarce now, and after being taken away by the Langya Country, the Canglan Country will go from bad to worse.
What Huang Shaoxian, the left minister of the Canglan Kingdom, told Zhang Hao before, was very watery. First of all, the Land of Canglan has no "resilience".
Western countries have been in a state of shortage of cultivation materials such as pills all year round, and everyone is used to it. I'm used to being poor!
But the Land of Canglan is different, everyone has always lived a life of luxury, you suddenly let them save money, they can't do it! Coupled with the consumption of war and so on, the domestic pressure of Cang Lan Zhi is extremely high, and there is a possibility of disintegration at any time.
With the ability to bear pressure under the scarcity of resources, it can be said that the country of Canglan doesn't have much resilience at all.
Once upon a time, the Land of Canglan could not only obtain cheap pills, but also exploit a large amount of resources from the western countries. But after their port was taken, they lost this source of luxury.
So Fu Yun is very aware of the situation in the Land of Canglan, and this time he also wants to take the opportunity to get back some resources.
But I didn't expect that Song Shang would propose to be a subsidiary country of the Canglan Kingdom at this time, which made Fu Yun feel a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, Fu Yun is not a thick-skinned person after all, and with his self-esteem in the stage of transformation, he still left the two thousand carts of supplies to Song Shang. However, there are some precious spiritual materials, medicinal materials, etc., which naturally will not be spit out.
Then Song Shang led people to move all the supplies back to the imperial capital; and sent envoys to follow Fu Yun to the country of Canglan to prepare for negotiations.
…………
When the country of Danyang was about to seek refuge in the east, the country of Qixia was thriving. Wu Fanghai of the Northern Expedition led an army of 100,000 to help the country of Zhoushan stabilize the line of defense and advance layer by layer. At the same time, it began to unite with the country of Zhongshan to jointly check and balance the country of Yanyun.
Yanyun Kingdom's dream of wanting to dominate was finally shattered.
However, when the wind was surging in the north, a brand new change had begun in Qixia Country.
The contracting system has brought together the national level and the industrial and commercial level of Qixia Country closely. The abolition of the aristocratic system and the emergence of a society ruled by law provided opportunities for the explosive development of the industrial and commercial classes.
The emergence and implementation of the patent law has allowed technology to gradually dominate the development of the country of breath.
In just three days after Zhang Hao returned from negotiations, Dayang Group licensed technology and sold hundreds of complete sets of industrial equipment, involving more than 20 commercial firms, and assisted more than 20 new commercial groups to complete industrial transformation.
Among them are mainly mining, smelting, magic weapon forging and other industries. The Zhang family mainly provides industrial machinery. The power of the machine began to roar across the land of Qixia Kingdom.
Today, the court hall of Qixia Kingdom is very lively. During this period of time, everyone has planned the development of the country with unprecedented enthusiasm. There are quite a few people entering the court hall now, even Zhou Shuhai has entered the court hall, under the name of "dealing with politics". That is, you can freely come and go to the court, and you have the right to make suggestions.
And there are many people with such names. For example, several representatives of the Dayang Group, as well as some new representatives of the industrial and commercial class who already had a certain influence, also came to the court to discuss issues.
Although there are not many officials, everyone's enthusiasm has not diminished.
This is a new country, a country that can be its own master. What a constitution brings is an unprecedentedly active state.
Of course, under Zhang Hao's suggestion, Liu Xinyu focused on increasing the punishment for breaking the law. Zhang Hao is very clear that although the industrial and commercial class has many advantages, the inherent greed of intelligent life will also be magnified in the process.
A few days later, two pieces of good news came in succession.
The envoys to the East returned with news from the East.
The first wave of envoys went to the east, mainly the country of Langya, to explore information on maritime transactions. What was brought back was the huge maritime trade system in the Far East.
Merchant ships coming from the east, including the ships from the east of Fertile Island, Kunlun Island, and the northeast of Taotu Island in the south, and even a very small number of ships from the Morning Earth Island in the Far East. It took several years to reach the Emerald Sea.
As for many caravans coming from the ocean, they don't care who they trade with, they only choose the most "valuable" commodities. Most of these commodities are precious medicinal materials, scarce spiritual materials, etc.
The messenger brought back a box of transaction lists, including thousands of medicinal materials and hundreds of spiritual materials; there was also a lot of information about the Eastern world.
After purchasing this information, an oriental and civilized world has emerged in front of everyone.
