Chapter 582: Layout
"The prince is high, high!" Sharma gave Zhao Shuo a thumbs up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"I'm going to deal with this now. ā
With that, Sharma was leaving.
"Lord Xia, do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Shuo smiled and stopped Sharma.
Sharma slapped his forehead. "Oops. Look at my brain, there is indeed one more thing to discuss with the prince. ā
Zhao Shuo nodded, did not speak, and waited for Sharma to continue.
"Lord, I have heard about your reform in Madura, and I agree with this reform, but how to implement it, please make it clear to the prince. After all, Chola has a lot of area and a lot of mining, and if it is not handled well, it will affect social order, which will lead to the deterioration of the environment that has finally calmed down. Sharma looked at Zhao Shuo with a begging expression.
Regarding Sharma's remarks, Zhao Shuo really didn't expect it. In his opinion, what Sharma wants to talk about must be how to prevent reform, so Zhao Shuo thought about a lot of big reasons and was ready to persuade Sharma.
But when it came true, Sharma actually asked to learn how to reform, which really made Zhao Shuo scratch his head.
The gap between these two aspects is too big for him to turn around.
But Zhao Shuo is Zhao Shuo after all, and there are still contingency methods, and after confirming that Sharma really wants to learn how to reform, Zhao Shuo gave advice. "Reform, it's very simple, as long as you talk and count in Chola, the reform is carried out in the same way as in Madura, you just need to extend it to all the mining industries in Chola. Of course, if this mining is governmental, this is simple, but if it is personal, you can negotiate, they are happy, just do it directly, if they are not happy, try to buy their mining, don't let them lose. ā
"What if these people don't want to?" Sharma Drive.
"Not happy?" Zhao Shuo laughed. "They are not happy, I am already good for them, they are not happy, no one will work with them at that time, the mine in their hands will always be empty, and it will not be worth anything ......at all."
Saying this, Zhao Shuo shook his head. "These people are human spirits, they can't be so stupid. According to my speculation, many people who understand should choose to synchronize with the government as soon as possible, while others who are slower to respond may choose to wait and see, and once they find that some miners have left, they will inevitably follow the pace of reform immediately. ā
Zhao Shuo's words were full of admiration. Bowing to Zhao Shuo, Sharma left convincingly.
After Sharma left, Katsuyama came inside again.
"Something happened again?" Seeing Ge Shan, Zhao Shuo had a bad premonition and couldn't help asking.
"It's not the Great Song Dynasty yet, that damn Qin Hui actually attacked from the Gamo side, and then continued to invade the south, Bana couldn't withstand the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, so he could only keep fleeing south. In the process of the Bana people fleeing south, Qin Hui also instigated the soldiers to invade the Pala in the west of Bana, and after taking the Pala, Gamo will be completely separated from this continent, which shows that Qin Hui's ambition is not small. ā
After listening to Ge Shan's report, Zhao Shuo pinched his eyebrows before he said. "Is there any news from Zhao Ziyan?"
"Zhao Ziyan has persuaded Zhang Jun that after the fight against Angkor, Zhang Jun will personally command the army to come here." Katsurayama Road.
"What is Zhao Ziyan doing?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"After persuading Zhang Jun, he stayed by Zhang Jun's side, during which Zhang Jun gave Lin'an several letters, and it is unknown what was written." Katsurayama Road.
"Looks like it can't go on like this!" Zhao Shuo scratched his head. "Geshan, you immediately spread the news, and say that the Great Song Dynasty wants to unify this continent and establish a big city-state here."
"Lord, if that's the case, then our plan ......" Ge Shan looked worried.
"It's okay, when the time comes, Qin Hui will send someone to find me, and I will support him, but after Zhang Jun comes with an army of millions, it will not be for me to manage, and it will be up to them who will be in charge at that time." Zhao Shuo said unhurriedly.
"Lord Wang, this is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Awesome, awesome! Katsura said.
"Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? That's not good, Qin Hui is too weak now, if we don't help him, he doesn't have the capital to merge with Zhang Junhuo. After Zhao Shuo finished, the corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth rose and he laughed.
The news that the Great Song Dynasty was going to establish a big city-state spread far and wide, which made those city-states that had not been captured suddenly panicked.
Originally, the Mongol war in the northwest kept them awake at night, and Zhao Shuo's army quickly captured the two northwestern states, isolating the Mongol army from the city-states of the subcontinent. In the eyes of many city-states, not only did they not feel the crisis, but they felt that it was a good thing.
In addition, Zhu Luo took refuge in Zhao Shuo, and Zhu Luo enjoyed a high degree of autonomy, but only handed over military and diplomatic powers, so that the entire country was preserved.
In the eyes of many city-states, this is an acceptable situation.
But the Great Song wanted to establish a large city-state in the subcontinent, which they could not accept under any circumstances.
The Great Song Dynasty launched military occupations in Angkor and Bana, as well as in now Para, and the king of Bana is said to have become a refugee and is constantly fleeing south. And the king of Para is now ready to flee, because Para has been defeated repeatedly, and he is unable to stop the army of the Great Song.
If they are occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, it is better to take refuge in Zhao Shuo, at least, they can live, they can continue to live a luxurious and depressed life in their respective city-states, and they don't have to worry about being invaded, because Zhao Shuo is here, no one dares to do anything to them.
After having an idea, the first to act were Karachuli in the south of Para and Gahadavara in the west of Para, two city-states that were deeply aware of the disaster that had befallen Para and were the most vulnerable to being captured by the Great Song army, because the Song army was too close to them.
The two city-states began to send envoys to Madura, Chola, who, like Chola, wanted to be Zhao Shuo's subordinates.
As the envoys traveled south, new city-state envoys were constantly joining, and by the time they arrived in Madura, there were already nine city-state envoys.
These nine city-states are all larger city-states, plus in Zhuluo, as well as the city-states in the northwest of the subcontinent occupied by Zhao Shuo, it can be said that the entire subcontinent is almost completely controlled by Zhao Shuo, except for the two small city-states attacked by Qin Hui.
But this time, Zhao Shuo chose a decision that no one expected - refusal.
This is pie in the sky, but Zhao Shuo refused.
Zhao Shuo's courtiers are okay, after all, they all know that Zhao Shuo never suffers losses, and there must be inside information when making such a decision.
But the envoys of the city-states did not do it. They came with the only hope, and if Zhao Shuo refused their request, then sooner or later, their city-state would have to face a military disaster and be annexed by the Great Song Dynasty one by one.
In the face of these chattering messengers, Zhao Shuo shook his head and sighed, and after a while, he spoke a little helplessly.
"You should also know that I have an uncle-nephew relationship with the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and I, the prince, am still sealed by my uncle, and I can't go against him......"
Before Zhao Shuo finished speaking, an envoy raised an objection.
I have to say that these city-states sent envoys this time, it was carefully prepared, they knew that Zhao Shuo belonged to the Song people, spoke Song language, and during this time, they continued to study, and even inquired about everything about Zhao Shuo.
And Zhao Shuo is not stupid, he has long thought of the situation in front of him, so he secretly sent a lot of soldiers to the rest of the city-states, as a businessman, to cover up, teach the people of these city-states to learn the Song language, and then spy on the intelligence of these countries.
The envoys of these city-states learned the Song language and understood Zhao Shuo, and the people sent by Zhao Shuo gained the trust of these city-states and obtained a certain amount of news, so to speak, this is a win-win situation, but it is Zhao Shuo who controls everything behind the scenes.
"Lord Wang, your uncle has killed you many times, is such an uncle still worthy of your respect?" These envoys are not stupid, they understand Zhao Shuo, and they know that everything Zhao Shuo said is shirk.
This kind of prevarication is the hardest to refute, which is why they retort so palely.
"I save the people of the Great Song Dynasty, death is the ghost of the Great Song Dynasty, even if my uncle is sorry for me, but I will spend my whole life finally the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Shuo said something that he didn't even believe.
"Lord Wang, I heard that you have always advocated the equality of all people, I wonder if there is such a thing?" The emissary of another country stepped forward.
"All the people are naturally equal, but there is a priority in development, in my control area, I will do my best to do this, but in other places, this king is also more than enough and not enough." Zhao Shuo said.
"If the prince is really unwilling to take in our city-states, please give us an idea, so as not to be destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty and bring ruin to the people." A messenger offered a new perspective and put the people first.
"Since the envoy said so this time, well, this king will say a way, you listen to it first, whether it is feasible or not, you make your own decision." After Zhao Shuo finished speaking, all the envoys looked at Zhao Shuo, and the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"Actually, it's simple, it's that you city-states join forces to form a big city-state and gather all the armies together, so maybe there is a chance of victory." Zhao Shuo said.
"Lord Wang, our weapons are backward, and the soldiers are not as abundant as the Great Song Dynasty, even if we concentrate the armies of all the city-states, I am afraid it will not be enough to stop the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty!" This time it was the messenger of Gahadavara who spoke. They have seen the combat effectiveness of the Great Song army.
That kind of power would never be intercepted by the armies of their city-states.
"Lord Wang, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty still has a million troops in Angkor, and there are millions of troops in the country, so many troops, with the soldiers and horses of our city-states, it is really difficult to win!" This time it was the envoys of Karachuri who spoke, they were in the north with Pala and Bana, and the Song army continued to move south, and they saw the Song army's fighting methods more realistically than Gahadavara.
"If that's the case, then you should surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, in this way, it will be better for the people, what do you say?" Zhao Shuo said another way.
"Lord Wang, if Da Song is the same as Lord Wang, we naturally don't have anything to say, who can't beat others? But the Great Song army was extremely brutal, killing people whenever they could, and they didn't accept surrender, they wanted a complete occupation! "It's still Karachuri's messenger who speaks." Lord Wang, if you don't help us, we really won't have a way to live. ā
"Uh~!" Zhao Shuo looked embarrassed.
"Lord, please be merciful, and help our city-states......" The messenger of Karachuri was the first to kneel, and then the messengers of the other city-states also fell to the ground. At the same time, he begged Zhao Shuo for help.
This time, the drama is almost done, and if you are pretending, there will be something like that. Zhao Shuo let out a long sigh and put on a rather embarrassed expression. "Since the adults have said so, then the king will be a peacemaker. Now in the north is Qin Hui, he is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he has been an envoy to Chang'an, and he has some personal relations with this king, so I will go to discuss with him and let him treat the city-states well. As for you, go back immediately and discuss with your city lord, and let them hand over the military power and diplomatic power, and this military power and diplomatic power will be handed over to Qin Hui, so that this king may be able to persuade him with this three-inch incorruptible tongue, so that your city-states can also be saved. ā
Zhao Shuo stated his ultimate purpose, and this suggestion was also approved by the messengers.
For them, as long as they can keep the rule of the city-state, who they turn to is no different from Ben. Now take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, one day the Great Song Dynasty will not work, and start a war with Zhao Shuo, if Zhao Shuo is strong, they will not hesitate to throw themselves into Zhao Shuo's arms.
The envoys were sent away, and Zhao Shuo let out a long breath and sat down.
"Lord Wang, isn't it too cheap to do this, that Qin Hui?" Jerop asked.
"Cheap Qin Hui?" Zhao Shuo looked at Yelupu quickly.
"Yes, wouldn't it be cheaper for him to give up such a large amount of land to him?" Jerop finished quickly.
"The religion here is complex, the ethnic groups are diverse, and now they can huddle together when there is something going on, but after peace and quiet, the contradictions in various places will be exposed again. Originally, I wanted to hand it over to you to manage, but you already have Xiliao, and also, this king is really not at ease when it is handed over to you here, after all, this place is not easy to get. Zhao Shuo shook his head slightly.
"Then it's not for nothing that outsiders are cheap!" Although I can't control it, what if I give birth to a son in the future? Zhao Shuo doesn't have the power of the prince now, so in the future, Yelupu will have a chance to give birth to a son who is born quickly. Since this was the land that might be her son, she certainly didn't plan to give it up so easily.
Zhao Shuo pointed to Yelupu quickly. "Let you learn all the way, you have learned all the way in vain, more narrow-minded than my uncle, this is not good, sooner or later something will happen, change it well."
