Chapter 627 New Changes in Bian Country
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Yuanming and Sima Xuan came to the simple hall "intimately".
After sitting down, Sima Xuan didn't make any detours, "Mr. Li, we are old acquaintances too, if you have anything to say, just talk about it."
Li Yuanming is confident, "I have a plan that can bring prosperity to the Sima Kingdom. If it goes well, in at most three years, the Sima Kingdom will be able to earn 500 million taels of gold a year. Even if there are some bumps, it can achieve 300 million taels of gold." Annual income."
"Oh...is there such a good thing? Why doesn't Shang Kingdom use it himself?" Sima Xuan's face was full of distrust.
"I know King Jin is skeptical. But Shao Guo is a successful example. This plan is basically two words: investment.
Many enterprises in the Kingdom of Shang can invest in the Kingdom of Sima, solve a large number of refugees for the Kingdom of Sima, and even train a group of technical talents for the Kingdom of Sima, etc., laying the foundation for the development of the Kingdom of Sima.
King Jin, don't rush to refuse. Today, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, under the influence of the Shang Kingdom, all countries are building industrial systems. But the current Sima Kingdom is a blank slate, without even a single decent talent.
At the time of disasters such as wars and droughts, if the Sima Kingdom developed entirely on its own, it would be too late.
Therefore, the best way is to develop the military with the help of Shang Kingdom's technology, capital, and talents, and form a strategic advantage as soon as possible.
And as long as there is a strategic advantage and a sufficient foundation, the Sima Kingdom will be able to catch up with the latecomers. "
What about the late comers? Li Yuanming didn't say it, but everyone is smart, and if they get ahead, of course there will be a war! In this chaotic age, there is nothing more profitable than war. Of course, it is also war that loses everything.
War is a game for the strong and the wise.
Sima Xuan frowned and thought. I have to admit that Li Yuanming was right. Under the current situation, the Sima Kingdom simply has no time to develop industry and commerce from scratch. Obtaining resources from Shang Kingdom is inevitable.
But there is one thing, Sima Xuan sarcastically said: "You Shang Kingdom is not a good man of ten generations. Tell me, what do you want?"
Li Yuanming smiled: "It's very simple, two words: interests.
First, the Sima Kingdom and the Shang Kingdom formally established diplomatic relations.
Second, continue the previous "mutual assistance" agreement signed by various countries, and cancel tariffs between countries.
Third, the Sima Kingdom must guarantee the interests of merchants in the Shang Kingdom.
Fourth, the agreement (a large number of unequal treaties) signed between Jin State and Shang Kingdom will continue to take effect! "
Sima Xuan was not an idiot, his first reaction was to refuse. But thinking of Li Yuanming's analysis just now, etc., Sima Xuan still hesitated. After hesitating for a while, Sima Xuan had to sigh, "It's a pleasant cooperation."
"Happy cooperation!" Li Yuanming and Sima Xuan shook hands to make peace.
Li Yuanming was very happy. Sima Xuan was helpless. The new Sima Kingdom was not only blank, but also weak and sickly. And the support from Shang Kingdom is a good medicine. It's just that Shang Kingdom's "a good medicine" is also a bait for fishing.
But Sima Kingdom had to close his eyes and bite the hook!
The two decided to cooperate, and the details will naturally be negotiated. But it is conceivable that before long, a large number of enterprises, groups, and firms from the Shang Kingdom will land in the Sima Kingdom.
…………
When Li Yuanming and Sima Xuan officially shook hands and made peace, the war in the east of Yingzhou was already in full swing.
After Zheng Guo got the support of Tang State, he went crazy and attacked Chen Guo. Under the crazy attack, Chen Guo finally couldn't stand it anymore. Originally, half of the land of Chen Guo was invaded by Cai Guo, and it was already a little bit powerless.
And Shao Guoyou came to add insult to injury. Seeing that Chen Guo could no longer withstand Zheng Guo's attack, Shao Guo suddenly sent troops to attack Chen Guo, calling it rescue.
Yes, people are saved, but land is occupied at the same time.
Wu Guo was in a fight with Zhu Guo, and couldn't draw his hand. He watched Chen Guo being wiped out bit by bit, and Zheng Guo and Shao Guo gradually became stronger.
As for Cao Guo, although he harassed Shao Guo with the support of Zhu Guo, Shao Guo now has the support of Shang Kingdom, but he defeated Cao Guo steadily.
Although Xing State quarreled with Shao State because of the river issue; but politically, the two countries were surprisingly consistent: they jointly blocked the Shang Kingdom internally and expanded externally.
As a result, the state of Wei, which was sandwiched between the state of Shao and the state of Xing, was in danger.
At the same time, a tripartite confrontation between Jin, Lu, and Liu was formally formed, and the Shang Kingdom reaped the benefits.
But at the same time, Bian's country is also full of wars. Under the influence of arms, Bian's country is also undergoing changes. A split is taking place in this magic cave in the east of Yingzhou.
How has it changed? Some Jiedu envoys took refuge in Jin, such as Yicheng Jiedu envoy. Some Jiedu envoys took refuge in Liu Guo, such as several Jiedu envoys who were close to Liu Guo.
But there were also Jiedu envoys who took refuge in the Kingdom of Shang.
Each Jiedu envoy used foreign weapons to fight and slaughter his own people on his own land. And they played happily one by one.
However, arms groups, enterprises, etc. from the Kingdom of Shang are making a lot of money.
Originally, there were many separatist regimes in the Bian Kingdom, and there were 33 of the top-ranked ones with a land width of more than 500 miles, including six "capitals" with a land width of thousands of miles: Shangdu, Zhongdu, Dongdu, Wudu, Youdu, Nandu.
In addition to the top 33 platoons, there are many, many small separatist regimes. Some may only be a hundred miles away, the size of a town.
It is conceivable that in such a chaotic Bian state, it is a "praise" to say that the people are in dire straits.
Just today, Ninghe Town, a small separatist regime that is not ranked well in Bian, is undergoing a catastrophic change. This catastrophe came very suddenly.
Ninghe Town is less than a hundred miles away, close to the east, sandwiched between Rongwu Jiedushi and Dongdu. Originally, Ninghe Town could survive by relying on the style of grass on the wall and swinging between Rongwu Jiedushi and Dongdu.
But with the influx of arms, the situation has changed! The attack range of the artillery shot directly across Ninghe Town. Then, naturally, under such circumstances, Ninghe Town lost the qualification to survive.
The powerful Rongwu Jiedu envoy in the north brazenly sent troops, and after only a few charges, Ninghe Town was completely lost.
"Master, let's go!" A general yelled, pushed Yuan Lin away, and took out another piece of beautiful jade and stuffed it into Yuan Lin's arms, "It's too late for gold, silver and treasure. Take this piece of beautiful jade and head southeast. The seaport at the Eastern Capital, take a boat to the Kingdom of Shang.
go! "
"Uncle Fang, where are my parents?" Yuan Lin looked terrified, with shells roaring above his head. The unprecedented changes in war made Yuanlin fear and tremble.
Fang Rong was angry, and slapped Yuan Lin on the head, "Go as soon as you are told, so much nonsense! If you delay any longer, more soldiers will die!
Remember, don't look back along the way. Go straight southeast and you'll be safe in port. "
"Uncle Fang, don't you want to go?"
"I fought side by side with your father. Xiao Xiao will entrust it to you. Don't bully her." Fang Rong said, changed the two of them into dirty clothes, and then smeared some dirty clothes on their faces. The mud, and then used a spell to completely cover up the aura of wealth on the two of them.
"Come on, remember, I have fought with your father for so many years, not for rights, but just to support the two of you.
But now the sky is falling. What we can do is to prop up an escape channel for you. Don't let our sacrifice be in vain.
Only if you leave safely can we escape for our lives. "
Yuan Lin bit his lower lip, traces of blood seeped out, but picked up Fang Xiaoxiao, who was unconscious next to him, and headed south.
In the rear, Fang Rong brought together a few hundred poor soldiers to resist desperately, and there was no hope of victory at all.
Yuan Lin couldn't help turning his head back, but what he saw was beautiful destruction. A shell exploded among the soldiers, and a dozen soldiers were immediately torn apart and their stumps scattered.
Let's go, let's go, can't help here! Yuan Lin felt his weakness for the first time. "Perhaps, everyone is insignificant in war!"
Such emotion suddenly flashed in Yuan Lin's heart, holding Fang Xiaoxiao's weak body, he walked quickly to the south.
The voice behind gradually faded away, but there still seemed to be screams lingering in my ears. Unknowingly, he had already walked more than a hundred miles, and the true energy in his body began to flow intermittently.
Yuan Lin gritted his teeth and headed south, the soles of his feet were worn out, and he didn't dare to stop. It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I'm afraid that death isn't worth it. So many people have used their bodies and lives to forge a way of life for themselves, and they cannot just give up like this.
What's more, there is a weak body in his arms.
