Chapter 404: Plan Ahead

Xiao Jing looked at Shao Ning, who was sitting on the side yawning in Ge You's lying position, and shook his head helplessly.

This kid must have thought that he had just returned from a long journey, and that he would definitely be arrogant and lascivious when he returned home, so he was full of joy to "herd sheep".

As a result, the news of Xue'er's pregnancy was kept secret, Ziqian went out again, and Xiao Jing, who was stared at by the servant like a thief, could only go out to fight for her career, and Shao Ning, who was wishful thinking, fell into the pit by herself.

If Xiao Jing hadn't come to visit in person, he might still be holding his concubine to bed right now. Poor Shao Dagongzi was directly woken up by his father, and later was taken by the old man to clean up and wash up, and the idea of skipping work directly came to naught.

Therefore, he was full of resentment towards Xiao Jing.

However, it didn't matter at all, because President Xiao Da only glanced at him and then moved his gaze back to the other people.

The five of them were dressed differently and were full of exoticism. Xiao Jing got up and saluted: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, Xiao is tired of everyone, and I really don't want to go." ”

The five of them all got up and returned the salute, and a man in a big food and clothes said with a smile: "It must be a good thing for the prince to invite him, don't say that Yousufu is doing business in Xijing in Darui, even if he is far away in the extreme west, he will definitely come day and night." ”

The Korean man beside him nodded and said, "This is very true, Cui Zheyong has always been close to Gongzi before, and today he has the opportunity to listen to the teachings, how can he miss the opportunity?" ”

Others chimed in. Xiao Jing smiled and invited everyone to sit down, and said, "Xiao is not talented, isn't it for Beihu's business to work for you?" ”

As early as a year ago, the Mirror Newspaper set up overseas editions through various channels, publishing a monthly newspaper in Daeshi, Annam, Siam, Goryeo, Wakoku and other places, with local supervisors and their subordinates editing and writing articles.

Except for Yusuf, who could not publish a newspaper due to a special situation, and could only write the news into poetry and recite it among the princes and nobles, the mirror newspaper had already taken root in various places.

In those places, it is possible for people with a certain status to be literate. And the theme of the Mirror is very simple: in the small two or three pages, nearly half of them are "national news"!

In fact, two-thirds of the so-called news of various countries is the news of Beihu. In other words, the meaning of the existence of the overseas version is to tear Lu Chong apart.

The Beihu people have a strong military strength, the Beihu people are thirsty for killing, the Beihu people are untrustworthy, and the Beihu people have great ambitions...... These are for the feudal kingdoms around Darui that have a certain strength.

The grasslands of Beihu have the most fertile pastures, as well as endless cattle and sheep; There was honey flowing everywhere, and the beautiful girl was like a blooming flower...... These are for the mighty big cannibals.

The reports about Beihu seen by the former are basically negative, which makes people look at it and be afraid of the royal court on the northern grassland; The latter is the temptation of wealth and power, which will make many people want to move, and then give birth to some special ideas.

As we all know, the war of public opinion is also an extremely important part of the international game in later generations. If the media that can lead public opinion to hack a country to death, then the country will be yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants, and it is not but, so it is extremely important to compete for the position of public opinion.

Of course, Xiao Jing was also aware of the problem. There is no comparison between this year and thousands of years later, the political and trade ties between countries in his time were extremely close, intercontinental flights could start in the morning and evening, and wars did not take hundreds of thousands of people to catch up with a few months and a half to fight a war.

Only in such a political, economic, and military environment can public opinion warfare be able to exert its greatest effectiveness.

As for now......

Annan is thousands of miles away from the grassland, and unless Da Rui is destroyed, it is difficult for the Annan people to have anything to do with Lu Chong; The closest power to Da Rui is also in the western part of the Western Regions, and Beihu is just a country that only exists in concepts for them.

Will the meat eaters of these countries stop their dealings with Beihu or have friction with Beihu for the sake of a few fluttering words?

Of course not. Therefore, Xiao Jing's plan is likely to be useless.

Still, he wanted to try.

On the way back from the grassland, Xiao Jing received all kinds of unfavorable news. Obviously, Lu Chong cleaned up his hands as quickly as possible, and the weaknesses that he used to blackmail him before no longer existed.

Seeing that he is about to become the next target of others, he must do something.

Big Food is the most powerful country in the West. Once the situation in the Central Plains is not good, Xiao Jing can increase the intensity of advocacy, and then instigate or even instigate the nobles of the Great Food through other means. Once someone covets the fat of the east and marches eastward, they can effectively contain Beihu and carry out a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

However, this trick is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will be self-defeating and turn it into a tiger at the front door and a wolf at the back door, and he will not try it until he has to.

Although Annam is a small country, it is a force to be reckoned with in the south. This vassal state has repeatedly rebelled against restlessness, and if one is not careful, it will tear off a piece of flesh from the southern territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, for which there are many wars between the two sides.

It's a pity that the terrain of Annam is complex and rampant, and the successive dynasties have failed to take too much advantage of the several times when they have gone south to crusade against the ministers. Even if you win for a while, it will be difficult to form effective control on the ground, and in the end you can only leave in embarrassment, let the situation return to the way it was before, and accept the other party's superficial deference.

At the time of the fall of the previous dynasty, Annam seized the opportunity to seize several prefectures and counties, and it was not until decades later that the state of Darui regained these territories.

The horror of Beihu was instilled in the people of Annam, and in order to make people fearful, when Darui and Beihu fought in the future, they would have to think carefully about stabbing people in the back.

After the Central Plains Dynasty was destroyed hundreds of years ago, the Annam people also suffered a big loss from the Hu people, and almost poured all the strength of the country into not destroying the country and extinction, hoping that they could make a wise decision under the comparison of the two.

Goryeo and Wa were also restless. None of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers looked down on Beihu, but because they were not far from Beihu's sphere of influence, they could only keep eye-to-eyeing with the royal court. Although this contains the helplessness of "it is difficult to make a small difference between the two majors", this is very annoying and a major destabilizing factor at the border.

The ambitions of the Wa Kingdom were not small, not only regarding the peninsula as a bag, but also constantly harassing the southeast coast of Darui. In the future, once there is a war, it will inevitably intensify its desire to "get a piece of the pie", and it is better to let the Japanese people know as soon as possible that Lu Chong intends to dominate the world, lest they have nothing to fear because they are alone overseas, and they must know that the kamikaze or something is unreliable.

The seemingly calm world is actually like a pot with a lid on it, a pot of hot soup is already boiling, it's time to plan ahead!
