Just when Great Xia officially sent troops to attack the Jin Kingdom, news that was unfavorable to Great Xia came from overseas one after another.

On September 21, Bangalore City, the largest territory in Tianzhu District, was successfully promoted to the Mauryan Dynasty, and as soon as it was promoted, the Lion Kingdom adjacent to Tianzhu District announced that it would be attached to the Mauryan Dynasty and become a county under the rule of the Mauryan Dynasty.

The Lion Country, also known as Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is a tropical island country located in the Indian Ocean, at the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent, across the Pauk Strait and the Indian Peninsula in the northwest.

The country's biggest advantage lies in the mining and geographical location, it is a gemstone-rich island, one of the world's top five gem producing countries, known as the "gem island", ruby, sapphire and cat's eye are the most famous.

The Lion Country, which means "Promised Land" or "Land of Light and Abundance" in Sinhala, is known as the "Kingdom of Jewels" and "the Pearl of the Indian Ocean" and is considered by Marco Polo to be the most beautiful island.

In the 5th century BC, the Sinhalese migrated from Tianzhu to the Lion Kingdom.

In 247 BC, Emperor Ashoka of the Peacock Dynasty of Tianzhu sent his son to the island, and since then the Sinhalese people have abandoned Brahmanism and converted to Buddhism, and around 311 years, the Buddha's tooth was introduced from Tianzhu to the lion country.

It can be seen that the Lion Kingdom has a deep relationship with Tianzhu, and it is normal to choose to belong to the Peacock Dynasty.

Prior to this, the Lion Kingdom was an important supply point in the Indian Ocean section of the Great Voyage of Great Xia. Ouyang Shuo also tried to send a mission to establish a closer relationship with the Lion Nation.

It's just that the Lion Nation has not responded positively.

If he forcibly attacked the Lion Country, considering the Tianzhu District that was close at hand, Ouyang Shuo had a lot of worries. Unexpectedly, the Lion Kingdom had already made up its mind to take refuge in the Peacock Dynasty.

In this way, it is a big hidden danger to the great route of Great Xia.

Once the Lion Kingdom does not cooperate, or the Mauryan Empire shows hostility towards Great Xia, hundreds of merchant ships every day will not be able to obtain a stable supply point in the vast Indian Ocean.

It will be a major blow to the Great Xia ocean trade.

Just as Ouyang Shuo was about to send an envoy to the Peacock Dynasty to inquire about the other party's attitude, the Dawson Dynasty, which was far away from the ocean, finally bared its fangs and made a move against Great Xia.

September 23, an ordinary day.

On this day, the Dawson Dynasty, the Gondor Dynasty, the Romanov Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Arab Empire, the Persian Empire, the Germanic Dynasty, the Gallic Dynasty and the newly founded Mauryan Dynasty united more than 30 large territories to issue a joint declaration to form the "Global Trade Partnership", or TP for short.

Leading the way is Jack's Dawson dynasty.

According to the information disclosed in the declaration, in order to stimulate the growth of global trade and promote the globalization of trade, TP members will implement mutually beneficial policies such as zero tariff and visa-free.

There is no doubt that this is a global trade organization that overrides the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership Agreement, which were drafted under the leadership of Bactrian Bactrian .

Even more than half of the members of the two major agreements have joined the TP.

In particular, the Mediterranean coastal territories, although they do not dare to openly withdraw from the Trans-Mediterranean Trade Partnership Agreement, will spontaneously weaken trade with Bactria after joining the TP.

This was a fatal blow to the Great Xia ocean trade.

And with the Mauryan Dynasty joining the TP, its attitude towards Great Xia can be imagined, and Ouyang Shuo very simply canceled the envoy group that went to the Peacock Dynasty accurately.

A cloud of clouds, under the cover of the Great Xia, the wind and rain are coming.

…………

Shanhai City, Summer Palace.

In the imperial study, Jiang Shang, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Liang, the elder of the cabinet and the senior secretary of the Cabinet, Fan Li, the minister of finance, and Du Ruhui, the minister of military affairs, received the edict and gathered here to discuss major matters.

Ouyang Shuo said straight to the point: "There is no need to deny it, the facts are already in front of us, TP is a trade card played by the hand of silver to clamp us, it hits the point, and we need to deal with it carefully." ”

Thinking of the trade blockade of Great Zhou that had just ended in Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo smiled bitterly in his heart, "It's really a report and a report." As soon as Great Xia made a move, the Silver Hand counterattacked. ”

The Silver Hand can survive for hundreds of years, of course, is not simple.

With the intensification of the annexation of global territories, the silver hand, which Gaia has consciously divided into small independent units, is accelerating to coalesce together, forming a joint force again, bursting out with terrifying power.

TP is nothing more than an attempt by them.

In the future, with the help of members all over the world, the Silver Hand will definitely do other earth-shattering things, and no matter what the Silver Hand does, Great Xia will bear the brunt.

Because the current Great Xia has become an obstacle to the rise of the Silver Hand in the game world.

"For Great Xia, the daunting challenge has just begun." Ouyang Shuo judged like this, and when he thought of this, a wave of blood rose in his heart, full of ambition and pride.

Gaia's five years of Great Xia were invincible and invincible.

This seems to give people the illusion that Great Xia is already at the pinnacle of the game world, and no one can shake and surpass it. "It's time to wake up!" Ouyang Shuo looked at Jiang Shang and the others, and secretly admonished: "Recently, there has been a sense of arrogance in the court, which makes this king very worried. ”

Yes, Da Xia Lian Ke is a strong enemy, it depends on the fact that there is no opponent in the Huaxia District, and even the old opponent Da Zhou has been suppressed by Da Xia and can't raise his head, how can people not give birth to the heart of contempt for the enemy?!

Up and down the court, people's hearts are floating.

Jiang Shang and the others glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and then turned up together and saluted Ouyang Shuo: "Not being able to share the worries of the king is a dereliction of duty for us as courtiers, and I ask the king to punish him." ”

If the atmosphere in the DPRK and China is not right, the cabinet should take the first responsibility.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, Jiang Shang naturally cannot escape the blame, and the first one must be held accountable.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Get up." This unhealthy wind is not a day's work, and I also ask Zhuqing to be vigilant, usually pour more cold water, and don't let this wind blow down again. ”

This action of the Silver Hand was not all bad for Great Xia.

"No!"

"Let's get down to business." Ouyang Shuo's expression became solemn, "Ocean trade has become one of the lifeblood of the dynasty, and there must be no room for major twists and turns. At present, TP has just been established, and what impact it will have on dynastic trade remains to be further assessed by the Finance Yuan. ”

"The top priority before us is how to forcefully fight back against TP and declare and maintain the maritime supremacy of Daxia that cannot be provoked. This is the only way to keep allies and partners, especially those who waver, from joining the TP camp. ”

When hegemony is challenged, the best response is naturally war.
