In September, the Great Zhou, the Qing Dynasty, and the Jin State, which had just formed an alliance, finally made a move.

According to the information from the Shanhaiwei office in Kyoto, recently, a large Zhou caravan arrived in Kyoto, apparently to carry out ordinary trade, but secretly to transport weapons and equipment for the Qing Dynasty.

A large number of armor and weapons were disguised as ordinary commodities and smuggled back to Dazhou.

After getting the news, Ouyang Shuo immediately sniffed out the unusualness, "With the strong military industrial strength of the Great Zhou, do you still need to buy weapons and equipment from the Qing Dynasty?" It simply doesn't make sense. ”

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

The follow-up information from Shanhaiwei confirmed Ouyang Shuo's inference.

It turned out that this batch of weapons and equipment was not transported to Handan City at all, but turned south, directly to Haijin Port, and disappeared into the vast sea under the personal escort of the Handan fleet.

At this point, Ouyang Shuo basically figured out the enemy's intentions.

"Does the curve save the country?"

If Ouyang Shuo's expectations were correct, this batch of weapons and equipment from the Qing Dynasty should have been sent to the Jin State, and Da Zhou was just playing an intermediate carrier in it.

You must know that Jin Guoke also has a seaport, and it is indeed unaware of it when taking the sea route.

After taking Goryeo and annexing it to the Northern Xinjiang Province, the scope of activities of the Bactria Coastal Fleet was no longer limited to the Bohai Sea, and the Yellow Sea and the Dongying Sea were also the scope of activities of the Coastal Fleet, and the horizon was broadened.

Relying on the two counties of Goryeo, the coastal fleet has been able to compete with the Handan fleet of the Great Zhou.

However, in order to maintain the Pacific maritime trade routes shared by Great Xia, Great Zhou, and Great Jin, and to ensure the common interests of the three parties, the Great Xia Seaside Fleet did not assert its existence too strongly.

The sea area as a whole is relatively neutral.

Now it seems that Emperor Chen has made some inchs of progress, and even used the loose shipping routes to engage in smuggling for his allies, directly touching the core interests of Great Xia.

"It's time to teach Da Zhou a lesson!"

If the Handan fleet wanted to transport weapons and equipment to the Jin Sea, it had to pass through the Goryeo Strait. At present, the strait is jointly taken over by Great Xia and Great Zhou.

Because of the occupation of Kyushu Island, the Great Zhou had a certain say in the passage of the Goryeo Strait.

After the Handan fleet entered the Dongying Sea, it could only be at the mercy of Great Xia. Daxia, which occupies the two counties of Goryeo and Yingju counties, has absolute control over the East Yinghai.

Ouyang Shuo immediately ordered the Coastal Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to deploy defenses in the Dongying Sea in the name of a joint exercise, and to conduct a routine search of passing ships to ensure the safety of the exercise.

Its real intention was to detain the merchant ships transporting weapons and equipment in the Great Zhou, and as long as he got the key evidence of the Great Zhou's involvement in the Great Xia War, Ouyang Shuo would have his own plans at that time.

…………

The Great Xia Army has always been resolute.

With Ouyang Shuo's order, the Great Xia Navy immediately took action.

The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Fleets of the Coastal Fleet, and the Second, Third, and Fourth Fleets of the United Pacific Fleet are all active in the Dongying Sea, weaving a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for the Handan Fleet to take the bait.

A sudden collision came in an instant.

Now it depends on whether Di Chen is mentally prepared in the face of such a situation.

…………

Handan City, the royal palace.

After ascending the throne, Emperor Chen built the palace magnificently. is different from Ouyang Shuo, as a child of a family, Emperor Chen has feudal poison in his blood, and he once had an imperial dream.

The surname of the emperor can be seen.

In the imperial study, the peerless elegance of the Great Zhou Senior Minister's Pavilion, who had been promoted to the rank of Palm Seal University Scholar, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "I always feel that this thing has been done a little recklessly. ”

Emperor Chen was dressed in a purple Rolling Dragon King robe, and his demeanor was dignified, "What's so reckless?" Isn't it a strategy we have long set to subsidize the Kingdom of Jin to restrain the expansion of Great Xia in the Northland? ”

"That's right. But Dongyinghai is the territory of Great Xia in the end, and the Handan fleet is so arrogant to break in, aren't you afraid of causing a misunderstanding in Great Xia? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chen became angry.

After a battle of Dongying, Da Zhou lost the hearts of the people, not to mention, survived in a hurry, and only got two small islands, and the largest piece of fat was swallowed into the stomach of Da Xia.

What made Emperor Chen even more uncomfortable was that as the Great Xia Coastal Fleet walked out of the Bohai Sea, the sea control of the entire surrounding sea area was redivided, which made the Handan Fleet, which had previously enjoyed this sea area very uncomfortable.

Emperor Chen's arrangement of the Handan fleet to escort him this time did not mean to compete with Ouyang Shuo.

"What about breaking in? The old fox just wants to save face, does he dare to take the risk of taking the initiative to provoke infighting and take the initiative to start a war with us? Di Chen's expression was full of playfulness.

I have to say that Di Chen really captured Ouyang Shuo's mind this time.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Chen had the courage to provoke Great Xia without a trace. "As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke infighting, then Da Zhou will be safe." Emperor Chen judged so.

On this point, Xiongba and others also agree.

Although they agreed, they felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts, "When did it start that the safety of Great Zhou actually depended on Great Xia's charity?" It's ironic. ”

Although it is ironic, it is also necessary to swallow this bitter fruit.

Da Zhou, which has just been established, not only has limited external expansion space, but also has many hidden dangers internally. Wu Hou Xiongba, Qi Hou Wolf Warrior and Chu Hou Chun Shenjun, the three are entrenched in one side, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

With the end of the battle, there were also the Great Song Dynasty of Xiangyang and the Ming Dynasty of Jianye in the territory of the Great Zhou, and the two dynasties were entrenched. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, they are stronger than the Shu Han and the Great Sui in Great Xia, which makes Di Chen and others quite a headache.

If it weren't for Da Zhou taking the initiative to show favor to Daqing, I'm afraid the situation would be even more difficult.

Moreover, the bad performance of the Great Zhou in the Battle of Dongying finally brought bitter fruits. Recently, there has been a brain drain in the territory of Dazhou, although the number is not large, but it is enough to arouse the vigilance of Emperor Chen.

This shows that the trust of Chinese players in Da Zhou is gradually disintegrating.

"The brain drain is a call for the decline of a dynasty." In order to stabilize the situation, Dichen had to increase support for domestic talents and give more preferential residence policies.

Again, this is a big expense.

After the end of the Battle of Dongying, the strong intervention of Great Xia and Great Jin in the Pacific Sea Passage has already had an impact on the foreign trade of the Great Zhou, and the profits have shrunk.

It was under such a circumstance that Emperor Chen withstood the pressure and made the strategic decision of Lianjin to resist Xia, in order to eliminate the northern provinces of Great Xia and give Great Zhou a broader strategic space.

Think about it, once the Great Zhou Dynasty brings the Northern Xinjiang Province of Great Xia under its rule, it will open the sea and the sky. At this moment, someone outside the door suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from the Handan fleet!" ”

Di Chen's heart trembled, and he immediately had a bad premonition.
