"Those countries around ......"

The old man's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Where do you start......

After a moment of silence, the old man said, "Actually, the surrounding countries I am talking about here are mainly divided into two categories......

"One is the original vassal states of our Great Song Dynasty, such as the Goryeo Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, the Nanyue Kingdom, etc., but in recent years, the situation has been turbulent, and they have also begun to act and collude with some other forces...... Among them, the Japanese state is especially arrogant, and frequently sends pirates to invade the ...... along the East China Sea."

"But for the time being, they don't dare to tear their faces, it's just a temptation."

Feng Shiyan pursed his lips disdainfully, this little Japan really can't change its eating, in short, it just hasn't stopped.

"There is also the Russian and Saudi countries in the north, as well as the surrounding beautiful countries, the empire on which the sun never sets, etc., all of which have begun to move!"

"Wait!"

Feng Shiyan looked surprised, "Beautiful country? The sun never sets on the empire? ”

"Hmm!" The old man nodded, "The name sounds strange, but when it came, it was like this...... It is said that the two countries speak the same barbarian language, and in our Great Song Dynasty, few people understand their language. ”

"Isn't it the United States and the United Kingdom?" Feng Shiyan said subconsciously.

"You even know these two countries?" The old man looked surprised, "Some people do call them the United States and the United Kingdom!" ”

"Know...... A little bit. Feng Shiyan knew that he had accidentally said something, so he hurriedly added: "I have seen some in a book, so I have some impressions. ”

"It's just that these two countries are still 108,000 miles away from my Great Song Dynasty, why do they become a threat to my Great Song Dynasty?"

Feng Shiyan was a little dazed, the appearance of these countries was too abrupt...... It stands to reason that when the Song Dynasty appeared, these countries had not yet been born!

If it is said that it is Russia and Saudi Arabia, because it borders China, it will become a threat, and it is barely reasonable.

But the appearance of Britain and the United States is too weird!

The old man couldn't help but look at Feng Shiyan with admiration, "I can't imagine that you, a person from the mountains and wilderness, also have a certain understanding of the general trend of the world." ”

"Like you said, the empire on which the sun never sets and the beautiful country are indeed far away from my Great Song Dynasty."

"It is said that the sun never sets on the empire, in the west of my Great Song Dynasty, and this beautiful country is also separated from my Great Song Dynasty by a vast ocean......"

"However, this was a long time ago, especially in the past few years, these two countries have undergone crazy expansion, and gradually opened up the path to my Great Song Dynasty, and formed a joint encirclement of my Great Song Dynasty!"

"Although they haven't torn their faces with each other, the situation is already on the verge of breaking out!"

This is a confrontation between the general trend and the general trend!

And it is not easy for Da Song to persist until now.

However, what Feng Shiyan cares about is what level of development these countries have reached now.

At least as far as he knows, the Great Song Dynasty is still in the era of cold weapons, and if the sun does not set, the empire and the beautiful country have already begun industrial revolution. It's fate...... Except for those who are in the so-called transcendent realm, no one else can be the opponent of that gun.

Even...... Whether or not the people of the transcendent realm can withstand the might of guns and cannons is still unknown.

"The good thing is...... My Great Song Dynasty still has something commendable in terms of force, so it can barely compete with other countries, but I don't know when this fragile balance will be broken. ”

The old man sighed.

Feng Shiyan also breathed a sigh of relief: The good news is that the other party is still in the era of cold weapons, so if the Great Song Dynasty can enter the industrial age in advance......

It's just that Feng Shiyan is also a scumbag, and he doesn't even know that industrial leather. What the hell is life.

"In this way, my Great Song is really at a critical juncture of survival?"

The old man nodded, his face full of dejection.

"Isn't there a solution?" Feng Shiyan couldn't help but be a little anxious, "If you want to go outside, you must first settle down, no matter what, you should stabilize the inside first, so that you can better consider how to deal with the outside." ”

"If you go outside, you must first settle ...... inside"

The old man repeated Feng Shiyan's words in a low voice, and his eyes suddenly lit up, but it didn't take long for it to dim again, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, it's not easy to talk about it......"

"Then talk about the conditions." Feng Shiyan looked indignant, "They always have a demand, right?" As long as it is reasonable, even if it is too much, promise them first, or divide them! ”

"That Liangshan is definitely not monolithic, especially these stragglers, who are gathered together purely because of their interests, and they are attracted to some of them, suppressed some of them, and eliminated some of them...... Are you afraid that they can turn over some storms? ”

Feng Shiyan subconsciously replied that all this was just based on his understanding of the Water Margin.

Indeed, although it is a gathering of righteousness, Liangshan is still a kind of gathering of countless small groups, and the leaders of various mountains gather together, saying that it is not for their own interests, is it possible?

Some of them may just be trying to get enough to eat, some may be for power, and many of them are even forced to go up the mountain out of desperation.

Although this era may not have an intersection with reality...... But judging from the previous confrontation with Liangshan, there are still many problems within Liangshan.

Take Zhang Qing as an example, although he is also a leader of Liangshan, it is impossible to say that he really works for Liangshan...... Therefore, if you want to divide Liangshan, there must be a way.

This trick really works for such a rabble.

The old man's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he looked at Feng Shiyan deeply, as if he wanted to see him through.

Feng Shiyan couldn't help but be a little flustered, many of his words were just casual words, and he didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction from the old man.

"The little brother's words made the old man pause." The old man twisted his beard lightly and laughed heartily, "If I didn't have any wine, I should have a drink with you." ”

Feng Shiyan thought of the wine of this world...... Similar to the pungent feeling of industrial alcohol, if you take a sip, it is estimated that people who are not used to it can directly overrise.

However, he gradually realized that this old man should not be a simple character...... Just by his understanding of the situation!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy, he didn't expect that he had just been separated from Gao Yu's thigh, and in a blink of an eye, he hugged the other thigh.

We chatted intermittently, and as I saw it, it was getting dark.

"Master, Suzhou Mansion has arrived."

The strong man sitting in front of him and driving the horse raised his whip and pointed ahead, and a majestic majestic city appeared in everyone's sight.

"What time is it?"

"It's about time, it's about time to get closer."

"But you have to hurry, my old friend said, because of the bandits, Suzhou Mansion will usually close the city gates when it is closed."

"Hmm!" The brawny man turned around and whipped it down.

Along the way, you can gradually see countless ragged people gathering from all directions, rushing towards Suzhou Mansion, some of them walking together, some dragging their families, but there is only one goal, that is, Suzhou Mansion.

The old man sighed helplessly, "Since the last time I came, there have been a lot more people fleeing. ”

"I don't know what has happened to Liangshan recently, frantically invading the surroundings, it is said that ...... There are many counties around the ......"

"It's better to leave people than to be peaceful." Looking at everything in front of him, Feng Shiyan sighed.

"You...... What did you say? The old man's eyes widened, and he looked at Feng Shiyan in a daze.
