Text: Imperial Hegemony_Chapter 426 Monarchs and Ministers Intersect
"Fengxiao, looking for you to say this, the Mongol Empire is now being very miserable? Then do we want to join forces with the Great Qin Empire! Xiao Chen frowned and became distressed.
Yes, I thought the Mongol Empire was so powerful before, and I planned to unite with the Great Qin Empire to fight against the Mongol Empire. Now that Guo Jia said this, can he still join forces with the Great Qin Empire? You must know that the first emperor Yingzheng, that guy eats people and doesn't spit out bones, if the two families join forces to destroy the Mongol Empire, then this game will not be playable. After the fall of the Mongol Empire, it was obvious that the Great Qin Empire was going to clean up the Beichen Empire, who made the Beichen Empire and Great Qin neighbors now!
It's also to blame ourselves.,Isn't it okay to take a look at the New World History Records given in the system.,Although that thing makes no difference to increasing national strength.,But it's a very big increase in your overall view.。 If he could see the strength of the Great Qin Empire earlier, Xiao Chen would not have chosen to be a neighbor with the Great Qin Empire. is still blindly like a stupid hat, screaming and joining forces with the Great Qin Empire to resist the Mongol Empire, it is really a shame to throw it to my grandmother's house.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, although the Great Qin Empire is strong now, if it doesn't have our help, they will have to wait at least a few decades if they want to destroy the Mongol Empire. After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is impossible for the Great Qin Empire to eat the Mongol Empire in one go. You must know that the territory of the Mongol Empire is so large, even if the Great Qin Empire comes to attack, they can't beat it, they can temporarily avoid the edge and run to the west, and wait until they have recuperated for a few decades, and then come back to fight against the Great Qin Empire, there is still no problem.
It's just that if you help with the Beichen Empire, it will be different. First of all, attack the Mongol Empire with the strength of the two empires, although the strength of the Beichen Empire is a little bit different, but no matter how you look at it, it is a winning situation. Moreover, with the addition of the Beichen Kingdom, the Mongol Empire would have suffered even more heavy losses in the war. They may avoid the West, but the time to recuperate will definitely last for decades, which is crucial. With the extra few decades, even the Beichen Empire is estimated to not be able to climb the revenge of the Mongol Empire.
Besides, if the Mongol Empire hid in the west, it was not necessarily safe. First of all, the Roman Empire and the Rest Empire, which had a life-and-death feud with them, would not give up this opportunity to defeat the water dogs. Secondly, maybe the Mayan Empire further west may also have nothing to do to go up and take a bite and get a little cheaper.
"Therefore, it is still necessary to carry out the matter of the union between our country and the Great Qin Empire. After all, although our Beichen Empire is not the weakest in this New World, it is also ranked last. Therefore, if we continue to expand our power and rely on ourselves to wage war, it will probably outweigh the losses. The best way is to unite with the Great Qin Empire, and then jointly bite off a large piece of fat from the body of the First Empire of the New World. ”
"And in this war, how much benefit we can gain has become the key to whether our Beichen Kingdom can resist the Great Qin Empire in the future. After defeating the Mongol Empire, it is estimated that our alliance with the Great Qin Empire will be completely broken in less than two or three years. When the time comes, if we are strong enough, or can make the Great Qin Empire feel that it can't eat us in one bite, it will be enough. There is also a resting empire to the west of the Great Qin Empire, although it was united by Great Qin and Mongolia before, but its strength still cannot be underestimated. ”
"What Feng Xiao said is true, but how can our Beichen Empire get the most profit from the war. It is impossible for us to compare with the Great Qin Empire in terms of military strength, and on the one hand, the military merits must be more possessed by the Great Qin Empire. Moreover, if we were to face the Mongol army alone, it would definitely cause losses in the meal. Who made the number of cavalry of our Beichen Empire small, and there was no way to confront the Mongol army on the steppe! Xiao Chen said with a wry smile.
From the very beginning of the founding of the Beichen Empire, cavalry was a shortcoming. Looking at the various empires in the New World, the Great Qin Empire has more than 4 million iron cavalry, the Mongol Empire is the cavalry of the whole people, and the Roman Empire, although the number is only more than 2 million, but almost all of them are heavy cavalry, which is quite frightening. There were no horseback cavalry in the Rest Empire, only camel cavalry, but in the desert, camel cavalry was much stronger than horseback cavalry, and there were five million in number. The Persian Empire had the least cavalry, only one and a half million. Egypt, like the Great Qin Empire, had four million. Babylon had about 1.5 million men like the Persian Empire, and even the weakest empire in the New World was more than the cavalry of the Beichen Kingdom.
And how many cavalry are there in Beichen now, 200,000 heavy cavalry, 300,000 light cavalry, 300,000 rangers, and then gone. Maybe with Zhao Yun's White Horse Yi from 100,000 in the future, and then recruit some more, it should be able to reach 1 million. However, that's only one million, look at the empires on the mainland, that one is not more than one and a half million.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we don't need to go against the Mongol Empire. We can discuss with the Great Qin Empire first, and the armies of the two countries will gather together and directly attack the capital of the Mongol Empire. As long as the capital of the Mongol Empire is destroyed, the Mongol territory north and east of the Mongol capital will be ours. The Great Qin Empire is south and west, and after the two countries are divided, they are not allowed to cross the line. ”
"The Mongol capital was ceded to them, and many of the good pastures of the Mongol Empire were ceded to them. We just ate the barren pastures north and east of the capital of the Mongol Empire and some large mountain ranges, and presumably the Great Qin Empire would definitely agree. Guo Jia said very confidently.
But at this time, Xiao Chen was a little unhappy. Was the capital of the Mongol Empire so easy to fight? It's better to say that the loss is light, after all, there is a very extensive land compensation. But if the losses are heavy, the barren land occupied will be useless!
Looking at His Majesty's bitter gourd face, Guo Jia naturally understood what His Majesty was thinking! So he continued: "Your Majesty, the so-called one who has a mountain must have copper and iron! ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Xiao Chen's eyes immediately lit up. That's right, why didn't you forget, the New World is completely based on the earth in the real society, it's just a lot smaller. To the east and north of the capital of the Mongol Empire are the three eastern provinces and the eastern and central Siberia of Russia. It's very rich, but it's just very cold. Except for Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, the three eastern provinces, and the surrounding areas such as Vladivostok, which can adapt to human survival, 80 percent of the rest of the places are incapable of survival.
But these are small things, after all, the area is so large, it is still very simple to find some settlements suitable for human survival. The most important thing is that the materials are abundant, and Xiao Chen of Ma'anshan Iron Mine remembers it clearly, and the reserves of iron ore are not small. In addition, in the future, after the Beichen Empire became a dynasty, the era evolved into the age of firearms, and the coal and iron here, as well as various rare materials rich in Central and Eastern Siberia, were all profitable and loss-making transactions, but it took a little long.
"Okay, then it's decided first, by the way, Fengxiao, who do you think I will let serve as an envoy to the Qin State?" Xiao Chen asked suspiciously.
The Beichen Empire has no shortage of fierce generals on the battlefield, and there is no shortage of commanders who command large armies, but there are too few people who govern the country and give advice, or can speak well.
As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia was also stunned, who would be the envoy? Isn't there a suitable candidate in the Empire, and is the Ministry of Rites all waste? Well, Guo Jia really guessed it, the Ministry of Rites is full of pigs in captivity in the empire. The monarch and the ministers used various expressions to express the embarrassment of the empire.
In the end, Guo Jia reluctantly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am still the envoy to the Qin State!" ”
"That's not going to work!" Xiao Chen immediately refused, and continued: "You still have to marry Shangguan after a while, let you leave Shangguan Sister and the queen and you won't have to split me alive!" No, absolutely not! ”
\\\ The official's shout, Li Xiangyun also turned around and saw Xiao Chen, so he stood up and walked over.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is healthy!"
"Hehe, okay, between our husband and wife, where do we need so many courtesies!" Xiao Chen laughed and continued, "Min'er, why don't you see this girl? ”
Li Xiangyun frowned and said, "Min'er's girl went back today, it seems that Uncle Wu is sick, and Min'er is not lightly scared!" ”
Xiao Chen was also stunned, and asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't Old Man Wu very tough, he was still alive at the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens a while ago, why did he fall ill after not seeing him for a few days? ”
\\'" Back to Your Majesty, this concubine is not very clear! Li Xiangyun pursed his lips and said.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I will take some time to go over tomorrow, no matter what Old Man Wu says, he is also a great hero of the empire!" ”
"Your Majesty should indeed be like this, although the concubines have lived in the deep palace for a long time, they always know more than Your Majesty, who has been fighting all year round. Now many people are talking about Your Majesty, saying that Your Majesty has forgotten the old ministers! As soon as Li Xiangyun's words came out, Xiao Chen was immediately stunned.
This kind of thing, how dare anyone talk about it? The rumors that can reach the harem must be done by officials in the DPRK and China. And if the rumors are spread, Xiao Chen can know which party in the court is a person after thinking about it.
"The old minister, the old minister! It's not that I've forgotten them, it's that for the sake of the Empire, I have to keep them from being as prominent as they used to be. The power of these old ministers in the empire is so great that it is unimaginable to me. The military won't say much, if it weren't for me letting Pengju stay in the army for so many years, the prestige of Old Man Wu and Wang Ping is estimated to have a deep impact on the army. “
"Then Your Majesty isn't worried about Marshal Yue?"
"Of course I'm worried, otherwise why would I make such a big four marshals! They are fictitious, not real. It's the time of war, so I've told them to moderate their camps. If the world is peaceful in the future, the four generalissimos will naturally become vain. In addition, I let Yue Fei, Xun Yu and Zilong be Zhao'er's teachers, why don't I want to further strengthen the imperial power! “
"Zhao'er is young, and when they are old, Zhao'er has grown up, and her prestige is enough. With the identity of the crown prince, plus the students of the military head Yue Fei, the head of the political party Xun Yu, and the students of the tiger general Zhao Yun in the Praetorian Guard, these identities will make Zhao'er's appeal reach the extreme, completely unify the military and political forces of the empire, and achieve the goal of extreme concentration of imperial power! “
Li Xiangyun is a smart person, so he naturally understands that Xiao Chen's concentration of imperial power in Chen Zhao is not just to strengthen the imperial power. I'm afraid it's more to pave the way for Chen Zhao, and then directly cut off the minds of other princes, so that there will be no cannibalism within the royal family.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangyun was naturally very moved, and said, "The concubine thanked Your Majesty!" “
"Hehe, what's this, there are virtuous people in the world, this sentence is good. If Zhao'er has such strength in the future, and can still be intimidated by his younger brothers to the position of crown prince, I will not give him another chance. You know, the empire needs really talented people, monarchs who can lead the empire to a strong one. The so-called virtuous person is nothing more than a capable person! “
