The soft south wind blows along the southeast direction with gusts of warmth, the clothes are blowing, making people feel the full spring, although the spring has just passed, but the south has begun to enter the busy season of spring ploughing, and the fertile fields on both sides of the river are already a busy scene. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Juetian, have you noticed, their vice minister Su Qin on the Tang side led a large number of important cabinet members such as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Commerce to visit Milan, and they also want to visit Andako and Mahad, hehe, they are Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. Bi Xili is proud of the use of his last Tang idiom just right.

"Well, it seems that Datang is also very sensitive to our contact with Milanese, otherwise we would not have sent such a high-level delegation to visit the three Milanese countries. However, it is not easy for them to resolve the doubts of the Three Kingdoms, the Milanese are already under pressure, and Datang is sparing no effort to develop the navy, Datang's navy may not be as mature and refined as Milan, but it has the strength to surpass the Milanese in terms of scale, once the naval strength surpasses the Triple Alliance, the only psychological advantage of the Milanese will be gone, do you say that Louis X and Bedolici will have no ideas?" Lei Juetian stood on the river bank and looked into the distance, the canal project has been fully started, the Yuejing section is progressing very smoothly due to the topography, although it has slowed down because of the busy spring ploughing, but the current progress has been quite satisfactory, he seems to have seen the bright prospect of connecting the hinterland of Yuejing and Maqi Khan.

"Juetian, we can't take it lightly, whether it's the Milanese or the Triple Alliance, they are afraid that they won't and won't dare to tear their faces with Datang easily, right? What's more, they and Datang already have common interests in dealing with the Japanese people, doesn't Datang now want to repair the shadow on their relationship because of the wanton expansion of the army?" Bi Xili is not as optimistic as Lei Juetian.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, the attitude of both sides on the issue of dealing with the Japanese has long been inseparable. The Japanese are very smart, they have changed their strategy after discovering that because of the bandits' attack on the coastal areas of the Great East Ocean, the Tang Dynasty and the Triple Alliance have formed a united front, those bandits are now only attacking the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty, and completely stop the attacks on Milan and the territory of Andako and Mahad, and change to official and private trade to break through the relationship between them and the Triple Alliance, it is said that the Japanese are still willing to negotiate on the losses caused to the Triple Alliance, although now the Triple Alliance is forced by the pressure of the Tang Dynasty and does not dare to openly support official trade, but the private trade has not been restricted much, Milan is still doing some articles on the surface, covering up, but Andako and Mahad's side, there is not much influence at all, it is extremely prosperous, the Tang Dynasty has adopted a trade embargo on the Japanese people, which has cheapened the Triple Alliance, and the merchants of the Triple Alliance want to take advantage of the favorable opportunity to monopolize the trade with the Japanese people. Now the Japanese people not only control the Japanese land, but also control the treasure island, Kamchatka and the Ryukyus, plus the Crescent Peninsula of the original Doton people, production and trade are quite active, the merchants of the Triple Alliance want to get a spoonful of the soup, driven by interests, it is not so easy for the Tang Dynasty to pressure the official action of the Triple Alliance, which will only arouse the resentment of the Triple Alliance. Lei Juetian said lightly.

"Well, I think this time Su Qin led the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Commerce probably to solve this problem, I heard that Datang is now also frantically expanding its naval forces on Ludao, and it is estimated that it is to resort to force when the Triple Alliance still does not abide by the agreement they originally reached. Bi Xili said thoughtfully while strolling: "I just don't know what Su Qin's results are this time." ”

"Your Majesty may be wrong this time, Datang will not tear up with the Triple Alliance at this time, their main purpose is to deal with us, and now we need to mend the relationship with the Triple Alliance, which is gradually estranged and cold, to prevent the Triple Alliance from falling to us, the reason why such a large delegation is now formed to visit, on the one hand, to show the importance of the Triple Alliance, on the other hand, it is also to want to negotiate economic and trade relations, but it will definitely not be because of the Triple Alliance and the Japanese in terms of trade and collusion, that is not to push the Triple Alliance to our sideAt this point, the politicians of the Tang Dynasty are very sober and will not make such a decision. Lei Juetian shook his head and did not agree with his Great Khan's opinion.

"Well, then we have to be cautious, continue to pay attention to their performance in the Triple Alliance, and don't let the Milanese pull them over to the Tang Dynasty. Bichley was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, if the Triple Alliance has made up its mind to form an alliance with Datang, it is not that we can change their position by doing some work, it is precisely because of Datang's aggressive expansion momentum in several directions that all the neighbors around us are jealous, it turns out that the Milanese people have always thought that we are engaged in expansion? Anjie, Yuejing, and Ronnesia, but compared to Li Wufeng's performance in the peninsula region, the southwest region, and the Central Continent, our behavior is nothing? What's more, the Milanese also know that we Maqihans actually have no existential threat to them, at most it is just a battle of will. ”

"And what about Datang? Hehe, to put it mildly, with the strength of the Triple Alliance, if Datang really makes up his mind to take it, I'm afraid it will be a matter of three or five months, they know very well what is at stake, because of this, as soon as our olive branch was raised, their hands stretched out, Your Majesty will not think that the Milanese have always had a bad relationship with Datang, right? At the time of the Tang Empire, the Milanese felt that they had the power to fight back and could maintain a friendly relationship, but now that the situation has changed, they have to consider other ways to deal with it. Of course, they won't tear their faces with Datang, after all, it is best to avoid direct conflict with Datang head-on, but I reminded them that no matter how much Datang raises a butcher's knife against any of our southern sides next, it will in fact be a declaration of war against our entire south. The current Tang Dynasty is not the Tang River in the past, and it can still get along in harmony, Li Wufeng has the entire continent in his chest, not Situ Mingyue, a mediocre man who can be compared, and now he has such a powerful armed force in his hands, if we want to survive, we can only join forces. Lei Juetian patiently explained.

"Well, I'm afraid those idiots in Milan don't understand this. Bi Xili showed a sad look for the first time, this is so many years Lei Juetian has never seen the other party show such a face, always with a look of high confidence, but this time Bi Xili looked a little dignified.

"Your Majesty seems to be a little worried that the Milanese will rebuild the old friendship with the Tang Dynasty?" Lei Juetian knew what the Great Khan was thinking.

"Well, with the combination of grace and power, I am afraid that the Milanese may not be able to resist. And Mahad and Andako are the only ones in Milan, if they really get involved with Datang, the situation we are in will be a bit bad. Bichley did not hide his worries, and he had to think twice about doing the same in this situation.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate Louis X and Bedorić, the Milanese will not be so short-sighted, maybe they will maintain harmony with the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but deep down the seeds of fear and fear of being swallowed up will sprout once planted, for the strong Milanese of the Tang Dynasty is not without a defensive mentality, the Milanese have been expanding their army strength to prevent our threats for more than a year, and now the fourth army corps has been formed, and the army strength has expanded from 200,000 ten years ago to more than 400,000 now, is it really to guard against usHmph, that's not just using us as a shield, I'm afraid the real target will still be Datang. Datang also knows this well, so it will do everything possible to appease it, but is this useful? Raising one's own military strength is an internal affair, and Datang's military strength has already reached 17.8 million, so will other countries not be allowed to increase their military strength? In this kind of extremely asymmetrical situation of strength and weakness, no one will believe those empty promises. Lei Juetian comforted Bi Xili and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, under this situation, Datang will never be able to win the friendship and trust of the Milanese, especially since Datang's continuous wars on all sides have made the Triple Alliance sit on pins and needles, and I am afraid that Datang will point the blade at them one day, and in order to protect themselves, they will have to go to the same road with us." ”

Bi Xili didn't say anything for a long time, he seemed to have aged a lot this year, maybe it was the crazy expansion of the Tang Dynasty that made him feel great pressure, and he said after a long time: "Juetian, how do you think we can make us invincible now?" To be honest, Datang is so strong now, although I am a surname who is unwilling to admit defeat, but now I still have to admit that it is impossible for us Ma Qihan to compete with Datang, but looking around, thinking hard at night, I always feel that I can't find a better way to deal with the current critical situation. The last time we took the initiative to retreat on Sanjiang to avoid war, but Datang recovered Sanjiang, and now it has won a victory in the southwest region, we are now firmly locked in this cage by Datang, watching the Tang Dynasty power flourish, I can't sleep at night. ”

Sighed lightly, Lei Juetian is not like this, Datang is too powerful, even if he draws out a part of his strength, it is enough to make any neighboring country unbearable, although Ma Qi Khan has some foundation after so many years of development, but there is no chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation with Datang, no wonder Da Khan is anxious in his heart.
