11.12 West and East
September 13, 659 in the electrical calendar.
The friendship between the Taiyun Empire and the Jingchuan Empire for forty years was broken because of a "small thing".
A mineral expedition from the Taiyun Empire was detained by the military police in Jingchuan. Clashes broke out between the two sides, resulting in the disappearance of fourteen people in the Taiyun Empire's expedition.
This 'little thing' is not a big deal in the eyes of the Jingchuan Imperial court. After all, the two countries have been friendly for decades, and the current Taiyun Emperor's mother is also the princess of the Jingchuan royal family. This kind of small turmoil simply cannot last.
But the entire upper echelons of Jingchuan were wrong, and the friendship between the royal families of the two countries, which they had originally been worried about, seemed to have been eliminated overnight.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Taiyun Empire ordered Jingchuan to release its men and stop its military invasion of Taiyun in Tongchuan.
Fourteen hours later, the ambassador of the Taiyun Empire handed over a credential. And above, there is a 218-year-old delivery contract.
The Jingchuan court was in an uproar.
[To tell the story behind this, you have to start from three hundred years, no, you have to start from five hundred years ago]
Five hundred years ago, a family of mechanics fled from the territory of the Taiyun Empire and came to the territory of Jingchuan. At that time, the Jingchuan Empire gave the fief of Tongchuan to this mechanic family.
Based on this, this family of mechanics has increased the scale of Jingchuan's military industry by twenty times in hundreds of years, updated the relatively backward military technology of Jingchuan to the first-class of the times, and increased the original scale by six times. As a result, the national strength of the Jingchuan Empire doubled.
Since the national strength is strong, Jingchuan has begun to 'do'. Invaded Yuqun to the north and Zhejiang-Ning to the east, and fought for many years, consuming national strength.
In the end, after the profligacy of three generations of kings, Jingchuan's domestic and foreign contradictions finally began to erupt. That is, 230 years ago, Zhening began to attack Jingchuan. Zhejiang's army won seven battles and seven victories, and reached the capital of Jingchuan. And when the Jingchuan Empire lost more than half of its territory, it lost two-thirds of its productivity.
Countries are happy to see the decline of Jingchuan. When Jingchuan was isolated, only the Taiyun Empire agreed to military assistance, however, the condition was Tongchuan.
Yes, for hundreds of years, Taiyun has been staring at the west of Jingchuan, silent when Jingchuan was strong, but Jingchuan declined, and naturally began to look for opportunities.
And the prime minister of Jingchuan at that time was precisely the wealthy family whose fief was in Tongchuan. So Taiyun is not so much asking for a fief from Jingchuan as it is re-recruiting this family.
The prime minister, named Rong Beixing, led the signing of Taiyun at that time and invited rescuers. However, just after Jingchuan successfully restored the country, Taiyun waited for Rong Beixing to rejoin with his people.
After the restoration of the country, Jingchuan's side suddenly changed. Rong Beixing was impeached and removed from power because he was "carrying" the empire.
At that time, the emperor of the Jingchuan Empire wrote a touching letter: "The land of ancestors dare not be ceded. Then send an emissary to Taiyun, seeking to compensate Taiyun for reinforcements with other economic benefits.
Taiyun suddenly felt that Jingchuan was unreasonable, and the Taiyun Emperor at that time, Chaoming Juju thought: "You can not give me the land, but you have to give it to me!" Since the Rong family violated the national law of Jingchuan, then the Rong family was demoted and sent to Taiyun to offset the grace of this military dispatch. ”
But here in Jingchuan, here is grinding again.
In the end, Taiyun understood. Feelings, behind all this, are directed and acted by the Rong family themselves.
Rong Beixing didn't want the family to return to Taiyun at all, so after inviting Taiyun's soldiers, he asked the Jingchuan royal family to belittle him alone, making the signed regulations on borrowing troops ineffective.
Emperor Taiyun could not bear this humiliation, and he immediately sent troops to attack Jingchuan.
The following year, Taiyun's army seized half of the mineral veins in Tongchuan, but the equipment and population of the industrial area on the other side of Tongchuan were moved away by the Rong family.
The army occupies the veins that cannot be mined, it is useless, and Taiyun gets nothing.
The Liangzi of the two countries has completely come to an end, and the Chaoming family of the Taiyun royal family also understands the psychology of the Rong family not wanting to return to Taiyun.
Taiyun and Jingchuan then fought a cold war for a hundred years. Until a hundred years ago, Taiyun felt that it was not in line with Taiyun's strategy to remain hostile to the southern powers, so Taiyun sent envoys to take the initiative to ease relations with Jingchuan.
[Then Taiyun's strategy shifted to the north, and he fought against many countries in the north and won repeatedly, and finally defeated the vertical alliance in the north]
Before the Battle of Weishui, Taiyun's strategic pressure was extremely great, so he maintained good relations with Jingchuan, and the Tongchuan issue was put on hold.
However, after more than two hundred years, Jing Chuan also had the illusion that the Taiyun Empire had given up its claim to Tongchuan's territory in silence and acquiesced to the result.
But they were wrong. Taiyun has never admitted to giving up the Tongchuan issue, but is just preparing to make a name for himself with this division when his strength is strong enough, and he will make a big move against Jingchuan.
Today, Taiyun's national strength has surpassed Jingchuan, and he has successfully isolated Jingchuan diplomatically, so it is really good to come up with this excuse at this time.
On September 20, the uncle of the current Jingchuan Emperor, who is also the uncle of the Taiyun Emperor, was preparing to visit Taiyun in an attempt to ease the contradictions between the two countries with diplomacy.
The news came that Taiyun had thrown Jing Chuan's proton into a cell. Note: This kind of cell is only humiliating, in fact, food and drinking are also provided. After a few days, he will be placed under house arrest in a good place.
And this news came, which caused an uproar in Jingchuan. This is already a clear and unambiguous attitude towards war.
……
When the wind is surging on the mainland, the undercurrent is also surging in the southeast sea.
Zhao Xuanwei looked at the telegram from Zhejiang Ningguo and was speechless.
The elders of Zhejiang and Ning gave Zhao Xuanwei a bill of exchange of one million, and at the same time demanded that the sandstorm group withdraw from Qianao Island and not meddle in the southern seas.
And looking at this telegram with a light posture, Su Ying couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Carthage and Rome's script, hey, no, this is Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang." Hey, in fact, it's all the same, all the food in this ocean bath basin has always been eaten alone, and sharing is not allowed, you don't see the 21st century, the Pacific Ocean is so big, and a certain maritime hegemon country doesn't want to monopolize it? ”
When Su Ying sighed for a long time, Zhao Xuanwei stood up suddenly, he stretched out his hand and picked up the bill of exchange, and was about to tear it up-
Su Ying (Light Spirit): "Slow? What do you want? ”
Zhao Xuanwei said coldly: "Could it be that you collect this money like a beggar?" ”
Su Ying snorted coldly: "And then you tore this piece of paper and expressed your attitude so simply?" ”
Zhao Xuanyu was not angry and asked, "Then, what do you want to do?" ”
Su Ying: "If you tear up the bill of exchange, it is equivalent to showing your attitude." Tsk, do you know how valuable your statement is now? Hey, hand this bill of exchange to the Southern Consortium. And then, if you don't speak, they will come to you with money. ”
Zhao Xuanyu was stunned, then pursed his lips, and asked with a humble heart to hide his embarrassment: "Ling, how much money does that Southern Consortium have?" ”
Su Ying smiled: "Your family begged someone to do something, but I sent you over, and then I was going to marry your sister." Tell me how much money you will give for asking someone to save your life? ”
Zhao Xuanyu raised his hand to cover his forehead, pretending to think.
Su Ying exposed his cover-up: "Hehe, go make a list of military expenses!" ”
