Chapter 236: The Weak Attitude of the Great Qin Empire
"Yes, Your Majesty, for the Maqi Khans, importing food not only costs a lot of money, but is also easy to make by people, Bi Xili and Lei Juetian are both far-sighted people, and they must have seen this. The only way to solve this problem is to think of another way. โ
"The surrounding countries rich in grain, except for my Great Qin Empire and the Milan Kingdom, there is only the Jemero Kingdom, not to mention my Great Qin Empire, although they are developing rapidly, they are far from enough to compete with my Great Qin Empire; Although the strength of the Milan Kingdom is not as good as theirs, it cannot be underestimated, not to mention that the Milan Kingdom has a close relationship with our Great Qin Empire, if we use troops against Milan, our Great Qin Empire will never sit idly by, so the target is only the Jemerlot Kingdom. โ
"And my Great Qin Empire does not border with the Kingdom of Jemero, and the relationship is average, as long as special measures are taken to quickly solve it and create a fait accompli, the Maqi Khans probably think that we will not make a big deal about it, and other countries cannot pose a threat to the Maqi Khans at all."
In the end, Zhao Nanxing sighed and said, "The minister thinks that according to the current actual situation of our Great Qin Empire, we should adopt various ways and means to negotiate with the Maqi Khans and force them to withdraw their troops. โ
The last few words, Zhao Nanxing himself felt too weak, but the actual situation of the Great Qin Empire was there, although the Southern Military Region had 500,000 troops, but it was not ready for war at all, not to mention that there was a big trouble within the empire of the Lin family of Sanjiang County, and the Tiannan Lang family was also unpredictable, which was incomprehensible, and the Maqi Khans had 400,000 troops, in addition to the 200,000 troops who went out, there were 200,000 troops including 100,000 elite royal guards stationed there, once a war was provoked, the consequences were really unpredictable.
Zhao Youxiao also heard Zhao Nanxing's voice, as the emperor of the empire, he didn't understand the current situation of his country. If you want to use force to solve or threaten the Maqi Khans to retreat, I am afraid it is difficult to achieve the goal, the Maqi Khans are deliberately using various means to achieve the occupation of Ankun City and the Kingdom of Jemero, now that the wood is in the boat, it is indeed difficult to make them spit out the fat in their mouths again.
But if the empire turns a blind eye to the matter. It is equivalent to giving the green light to the aggressive behavior of the Mache Khan, then it is very likely that the Mache Khans will be more rampant, and the surrounding countries will suffer from their aggression, and the prestige of the Great Qin Empire in this region will no longer exist, which the empire will never tolerate.
"Ye Aiqing, what do you think should be done now?"
Zhao Youxiao's eyes fell on Ye Xianggao, although there was an omission in the intelligence bureau of the military department this time, Ye Xianggao had a certain leadership responsibility. But he is responsible for the operation of the entire empire, and he is the chief assistant of the cabinet of the empire, and it is impossible to cover everything in every detail, and it is really impossible to talk about specific responsibilities, not to mention that there are more important things that need to be solved now.
In fact, when His Majesty the Emperor asked Ye Xianggao, Ye Xianggao was already thinking about how to deal with this sudden change in shape, and it must be quite difficult to take military action. But if it is only to take other means, such as diplomacy and economics, let alone let the Maqi Khans withdraw their troops. It is difficult to say whether the Macken Khans will not continue to use troops against their neighboring countries, and this is indeed a bit difficult.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor asked about himself, Ye Xianggao hurriedly stepped out, "Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers agree with the opinions of Lord Zhang and Lord Zhao very much. At present, the army of the Maqi Khans has basically occupied Ankun City and most of the territory of the Jemero Kingdom, and it is believed that the fall of Jemei City will be a matter of time. Exactly where they are going is unclear. โ
"We're not ready on all fronts, so we need a buffer. The diplomatic corps of the Maqi Khanids has arrived in the capital and paid a visit to our Ministry of Rites, indicating that they still have scruples about our country. โ
Therefore, the following measures can be taken. First, the Ministry of War immediately protested and issued an ultimatum demanding that they immediately stop military operations; secondly, the Southern Military District immediately entered a state of emergency, intensified military preparations, and put pressure on the Macekhans; Third, we can get in touch with the Kingdom of Milan, the South Seas Alliance, the Grand Duchy of Mahad, etc., and ask them to also cooperate in military preparations, and I believe that they do not want to see such a big change in the political pattern of the region. โ
"Fourth, Sanjiang County and Tiannan County can also be ordered to carry out military mobilization and cooperate with the imperial court to exert pressure on the Maqi Khans; Fifth, all customs offices were ordered to immediately stop exporting grain, medicines, cloth, weapons, armor, and other military strategic materials to the Macedhans. In addition, His Majesty could also send an envoy to the Macedian Khanate to visit Wรจn and hold specific talks with Bi Xili and Lei Juetian. Ye Xianggao did it in one go, and explained his coping plan and inventory.
Ye Xianggao's plan immediately won the unanimous support of almost all the ministers present, and Zhao Youxiao also nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Ye Aiqing, your plan is very realistic, I agreed, as soon as I agreed, I will handle it according to your opinion, and all departments will immediately arrange the deployment, and there must be no mistakes." In addition, Chen Yue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, served as my special envoy and immediately visited Ma Qi Khan. โ
Although the court meeting was dispersed, Ye Xianggao did not let go of the stone in his heart, Lei Juetian is not a mediocre person, he must have considered all aspects before acting, since he dared to implement it, it means that he must have also thought about how to deal with the possible consequences, and now he can only take one step at a time.
"Princess Sophia, please calm down, His Majesty the King has already gone, I hope you can mourn by the way."
In a palatial mansion in the center of Siem Moon City, the capital of the Siem Kingdom of the Nanyang Alliance, here is the villa of Xihe, a famous member of the Siem State of Siam, talking is a well-dressed young man, next to a middle-aged gentleman with extraordinary bearing standing aside, looking at the chestnut-haired girl who is sitting on a delicate rattan craft chair and crying with a regretful look on his face.
"Mr. Nishiga, are you sure that the news of my father's death is true?"
After a long time, the chestnut-haired girl stopped crying, and her mood gradually stabilized, looking up, this is a dizzying devil-like face, delicate white and tender hungry skin has no flaws, a pair of clear blue eyes under the willow eyebrows, but the eyelashes are a little curled, as if there are a few drops of dew hanging on it, the root of the nose is towering, and the red lips are slightly blooming, so a beautiful and moving appearance.
Rao is a middle-aged gentleman who is used to seeing beauties from all over the world, and he is still distracted, not to mention the young man next to him, who is completely lost and stunned, forgetting where he is.
Sophia is used to seeing this kind of scene, coughed lightly, the middle-aged man has come back to his senses, and sighed in his heart, the ancients are cloudy, red face and trouble, honest do not deceive me, this Sophia is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and waiting for another two years is not to make the world crazy, he can't help but worry about his son.
The young man did not consider his father's worries in the slightest, and he made up his mind before answering on his father's behalf: "Your Royal Highness, this news is absolutely reliable, and it was brought back from Jemei City by our intelligence department, and it is possible that the surrounding countries have already known this bad news. โ
The middle-aged man also nodded, "Your Royal Highness, please rest assured of the authenticity of the information, and your mother and other members of the royal family have been taken to Sanglin City, the capital of the Maqi Khanate, by the Maqi Khan's army." โ
"So what do I do now?" Sophia muttered to herself, "Is there no one in the surrounding neighboring countries to react and let the invading army of Maqi Khan ravage?" โ
The middle-aged man also felt a little fever on his face, and after a pause, he said: "We, the Nanyang Alliance, the Great Qin Empire, the Kingdom of Milan and other countries, have already lodged the strongest protest to the Macede Khanate, demanding that they withdraw their troops and restore peace in this region. โ
Although Sophia is not very old, after all, she grew up in the court, has been exposed to it for a long time, and still has a certain understanding of the intrigue between countries and mutual intrigues.
But such a painless diplomatic protest may not be able to force the Makkhans to retreat, as Sophia also understands, and the middle-aged know even more.
"However, Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't have to worry, my father and I have already made arrangements for His Highness's long-term life here, you can rest assured, my father and I are very welcome for Your Highness to stay here for a long time."
The young man hurriedly picked up, he had been coveting this girl who made all men in the world fall in love for a long time, and he couldn't ask for the opportunity to have long-term contact.
Sophia's mood has gradually calmed down, she is in a foreign country, it turns out that she has come here as a foreign princess, but now that her country has perished, it is really difficult to predict what attention these seemingly obedient men will pay in their hearts. She is now a young single woman, and she has lost the aura of a princess, will these people have different intentions, thinking of this, Sophia shuddered.
"Thank you Mr. Xihe and Mr. Xilua for your kindness, but this is not my hometown after all, and I can't live here for long." Sophia said with a faint sigh.
"But now that the Kingdom of Jemero has been controlled by the Maqi Khan army, Her Royal Highness the princess is going back now, which is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger." The young man was a little anxious.
"Although my country is now occupied by the Mackenates, I believe that there is still a place in the world to make sense, can the invaders run amok with such impunity? Mr. Xihe, your Nanyang Alliance also let it go? โ
Although Sophia's tone was angry, she couldn't hide her weakness, the strong in this world are respected, and those who can uphold justice are those who have strength, and what country is willing to go against the Macederan for the sake of her, who has already died? (To be continued......)
