Chapter 201: Concession
"Prince, you have no way back now." Zhang Beichen reminded.
Only then did Zhu Jian react, he broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for reminding me." It's just that I'm weak, and I ask Mr. to help! ”
Zhang Beichen said: "After all, I am a native of Qi State, and it is inconvenient for me to participate in the affairs of Yue Guo. But if the prince needs money, food, and weapons, he is willing to help! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Zhu Jian was overjoyed, as long as he had money, food, and weapons, he would naturally be able to find people and equip soldiers.
……
[You secretly sent money, food, and weapons to Lumi and Zhu Jian, and both sides were plotting to rebel. 】
[Three months later, Lumi took control of the Janissaries in the capital, and controlled the King of Yue, and the crown prince Zhujian escaped from the capital. 】
Lu Mi had not yet killed the king of Yue at this time, and he was enlisting the support of the nobles of Wu and Yue.
However, Zhu Jian was not willing to flee, and he also gained the support of a group of nobles and began to raise troops to attack Yuedu.
Taking advantage of the civil strife in Vietnam, Zhang Beichen didn't care about anything else, and first sent troops to garrison the port of Vietnam.
Whether Lumi is the king of Yue or Zhu Jian is the king of Yue, he will actually garrison here. As long as there is a military port, the army of Qi can directly enter the hinterland of Yue!
[Half a year later, Zhu Jian led his soldiers to break through the Yuedu, kill Lumi, and besiege the Yue Palace. 】
In the palace of King Yue, King Yue Lu Ze was lying on the hospital bed, coughing violently.
"Father, please abdicate!" Zhu insisted on stepping forward with his sword.
"Rebel, this king is not dead...... Ahem! King Yue scolded angrily.
Zhu Jian was unmoved, and said, "Isn't this how my father's throne came about? ”
Yue is often despised as a barbarian by the Central Plains countries, because it has almost become a tradition to kill his father and his ministers to kill his monarch in Yue!
Zhu Jian's father also did something similar, so the prestige of King Yue was not enough to suppress the whole country.
Zhu Jian ordered the people to write the edict of abdication, and forcibly pressed the handprint according to the hand of King Yue.
[King Yue "died of illness" in the palace, and the crown prince Zhujian succeeded to the throne and became the new King of Yue. 】
Zhang Beichen sent people to congratulate Zhu Jian.
"My king, this Qi country has occupied the port of my Yue country, and they have openly sent troops to garrison it!" The courtier reminded, "If you let this happen, I'm afraid it will bury hidden dangers!" ”
Zhu Jian naturally knew that this matter was not good, but at this time he didn't have the time to care about Zhang Beichen: "Now that this king has just ascended the throne, there are many disobedient people in the country, and it is not appropriate to be an enemy of Qi at this time." Wait for this king to calm down the domestic turmoil, and then take him to the knife! ”
Zhu Jian ignored Zhang Beichen's actions, and Zhang Beichen became even more presumptuous, expanding the scope of the port and the number of garrisons.
As for Zhu Jian's desire to pacify the country, Zhang Beichen naturally would not sit idly by and watch this happen.
……
Zhang Beichen came to the land of Wu in Yue and visited the old nobles of Wu here.
In the lobby, there were a group of old nobles of the Wu Kingdom.
"Qi Xiang came here, what is the so-called?" A nobleman asked.
Zhang Beichen said: "There are two things in this place. First, trade with you and exchange markets. ”
"We also intend to exchange markets with Qi country!" The nobles of Wu did not reject this matter, and immediately agreed.
"Second, I want to help you survive in the country of Vietnam!"
"What do you mean by Qi Xiang?" The nobles asked knowingly.
Zhang Beichen said: "As far as I know, after Zhu Jian took office, he tried his best to suppress the nobles of Wu Land, so that all of you were in danger!" ”
"The Yue people are the Yue people after all, although the Yue King ruled the Wu land, he still didn't worry about you. King Yue's ultimate goal is to wipe you all out! ”
"Do you want that?"
"I naturally don't want to wait!" The crowd said, "What does Qi Xiang think?" ”
Zhang Beichen said: "Zhu Jian killed his father to seize the throne, and the people of Yue were not convinced. How can such a rebellious person be qualified to sit on the throne! ”
"In my opinion, you can support a new king of Yue. The Yue people can be the king of Yue, and now the land of Wu also belongs to the Yue country, why can't the Wu people be the king of Yue? ”
"If you are interested, I, Qi Country, am willing to help!"
Of course, these old nobles of Wu knew that Zhang Beichen's move was to split the Yue Kingdom, but for them, they never recognized themselves as Yue Guo people, but thought that they should be Wu Guo people!
[The nobles of Wu Land promised to cooperate with you. 】
[A few months later, the nobles of Wu claimed that Zhu Jian had killed his father and usurped the throne, which was a great rebellion. And supported the son of Zhu Jian, and Chaozhi became the new king of Yue. 】
[Zhu Jian was furious and sent troops to conquer Wu Land. 】
……
"Why did it happen to me?" In a simple palace of the king of Yue, the "king of Yue" who was temporarily supported was frightened.
Unlike others, he has no ambitions, he just wants to be a rich and noble prince, eating in his own fiefdom and waiting for death.
Unexpectedly, because he was too wasteful, he was supported by the nobles of Wu to become the puppet king of Yue.
Of course, Ranzhi knew that none of the previous kings of Yue had a good end!
He, the puppet king of Yue, will definitely not live for a few years!
"No, I must escape, stay here, my life is gone!" Ranzhi just wanted to escape, but he couldn't find a way out of it because he was surrounded by soldiers who were strictly guarded by soldiers.
At this time, someone appeared in his bedchamber.
"Who?" Ranzhi's face turned pale with fright, for fear that he had come to assassinate him.
"King Yue, don't be afraid, I am the prime minister of Qi State, Zhang Beichen!" Zhang Beichen revealed, now that he had reached the Holy Realm, it was easy to sneak here.
"Help me!" Before Zhang Beichen could say what he meant, Ranzhi rushed to the doctor and begged him to save his life.
He said with a handful of snot and tears: "Qi Xiang, I don't want to be this Yue King." Help me escape to the country of Qi! I am willing to go to the country of Qi as a proton! ”
Zhang Beichen was speechless, he finally knew why the nobles of Wu Land were willing to support the chaotic branches, because this person was a waste material and easy to control.
Zhang Beichen patted him on the shoulder and said, "King Yue, don't worry, my Qi country is willing to help!" ”
[You take the messy branches away overnight and go to the port of Yueguo. 】
Zhang Beichen did not bring the chaotic branch back to the Qi State, but stayed in the port under his control.
When the nobles of Wu Di learned of this, they sent someone to find Zhang Beichen to ask for someone.
Zhang Beichen directly shook the pot, saying that it was not the person he robbed, but the chaotic branch who took the initiative to escape to him and refused to leave.
As long as the other party asks for someone, he agrees, but repeatedly delays, just doesn't give it.
At this time, the nobles of Wu had to face Zhu Jian's conquest army, and there was nothing they could do about him.
[Under your various actions, the civil strife in Vietnam has been continuing, the civil turmoil in the country, and the people are miserable. 】
At this time, Zhang Beichen continued to expand the scope of his "concession" and also provided shelter and work for the displaced people.
For a time, a large number of Vietnamese people fled to the concession.
The land of the concession has become the most prosperous place in the Yue country!
……
[Three years later, because of dissatisfaction with Zhu Jian, the nobles of Yue assassinated Zhu Jian, supported the new king of Yue and continued to fight with the nobles of Wu. 】
This time it was not Zhang Beichen's hand, and now he doesn't need to do anything at all in the chaos in the country, and those who want to compete for interests will jump out and do things themselves.
[For another three years, because of the perennial civil strife, the national strength of the Yue country has decayed. The nobles of Yue and Wu were also greatly damaged. 】
Seeing this, Zhang Beichen asked Jiang Chan, the king of Qi, for an order to conquer the Yue Kingdom.
[The king of Qi agreed, and she sent 150,000 troops and 50,000 sailors to fight against the country of Yue in the name of helping the king of Yue. 】
……
Concession port, early morning as usual, sailors are preparing for today's work.
There was some fog on the sea this morning, and there seemed to be some dark shadows in the fog.
"Looks like something is coming!"
"It can't be a monster, right?"
The sailors were alert, but when the things approached, they exclaimed in surprise: "God, there is such a big ship!" ”
In front of them were large ships more than 100 feet long, with several stories of wooden buildings on board, loaded with cannons!
"Quick, go tell the prime minister!" The people hurried back to report the news.
When Zhang Beichen came to the port, the first warship had already entered the port.
On the bow of the boat, a young girl jumped directly from the high bow of the boat, and Zhang Beichen hurriedly caught her.
Jiang Chan looked at Zhang Beichen with a smile and said, "Zhang Beichen, this king is here!" Surprised! ”
"Surprise!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile.
"Wow, you've made this a military port too!" Jiang Chan looked around curiously.
It is heavily guarded, with orderly entry and exit of ships, and has become the second largest port in the world.
"This time, this king wants to defeat the Yue Kingdom in one fell swoop!"
……
[The offensive of the Qi army was very smooth, the Vietnamese army fought all year round and was already exhausted, and many Yue nobles submitted to the king of Qi. 】
[In just half a year, most of the land of Yue has been conquered by Qi. 】
At this time, those nobles in Wu couldn't sit still.
Seeing that Yue Guo couldn't hold it, they came to the concession in a group and surrendered to Jiang Chan.
[The king of Qi accepted the surrender of the nobles of Wu and took control of the entire territory of Yue. 】
[The concession port was renamed Yuegang and became the second largest port in Qi and the world. 】
……
It took less than ten years for the State of Qi to annex the Kingdom of Yue without much cost this time, and it became one of the few powerful countries in the world!
After these days, the situation in the world has changed.
Wei's attack on Chu encountered extremely strong resistance and consumed a lot of national strength.
After the Qin State annexed Bashu, it developed water conservancy projects to make Bashu a country of abundance, and then sent troops to attack Wei, Wei was defeated, and finally the king of Wei hanged himself and died, and Wei perished.
Korea took advantage of this opportunity to attack the state of Chu and occupy a large area of land, and only some nobles of the state of Chu were left to resist.
And Yan Guo is a little unlucky, although this game is trading with Qi State, increasing strength, and pacifying Donghu. Who knew that this time King Zhao actually sent someone to persuade the Xiongnu Shan Yu to let Mao Tai attack the Yan State.
King Zhao took the opportunity to pick up the leak and annexed the Yan Kingdom.
In this way, the current hegemony in the world is the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Korea and Qi.
……
It's developmental time again.
The queens of all countries know very well that after a period of development, they will usher in the final time for supremacy!
In order to increase the development speed of Qi faster, Zhang Beichen decided to give full play to his advantages as a "navigator" and go to the sea to find treasures.
[You led the fleet from Yue Gang to the sea, this time, you came to Yingzhou Island! ] 】
Of course, this Yingzhou is not the legendary fairy island, but a treasure island with abundant products.
[You migrated people to Yingzhou Island to cultivate and plant, and brought back some brand new crops. 】
[Five years later, you go to sea again. This time you've made it to the Southern Isles, which you've easily conquered with your navy, leaving your soldiers to take care of the natives, and bringing back some crops and animals. 】
Within the territory of Qi State, it has become extremely prosperous.
Trade brought profits and supplies from all sides, and some of the indigenous tribes living in the south were recovered by the Qi state.
The natives are inconvenient to manage, but they can help the Qi country grow some crops, or hunt and fish.
At this time, the countries could no longer hold back and decided to wage a war of unification.
Who will do it first and to whom it will be done has become a question.
……
"South Korea must be eliminated first!" Zhao Yun has always regarded South Korea as his confidant, and the same is true of Qin.
Although South Korea occupies a large part of the territory of the Chu State, the core economic and political region is still in the same place!
Caught between the states of Qin and Zhao.
The most important thing is that South Korea develops firearms, which is too much of a threat to various countries.
[King Zhao decided to send troops to conquer Korea, she contacted Qin and invited King Qin to send troops together, and King Qin agreed. 】
[King Zhao appointed Shinnan as a general and sent 200,000 troops to attack Korea. 】
[King Qin appointed Yingmeng as a general and sent 200,000 troops to attack Korea. 】
[The king of Zhao and the king of Qin sent an invitation to the king of Qi to form an alliance, asking the king of Qi to join forces to attack Korea. 】
[The king of Han sent a request for help to the king of Qi, asking the king of Qi to send troops to aid Korea. 】
……
In front of Jiang Chan, there were many choices.
[Option 1: Together with Qin Zhao, attack South Korea. 】
[Option 2: Send troops to rescue South Korea.] 】
[Option 3: Send troops to attack Qin. 】
[Option 4: Send troops to attack Zhao. 】
[Option 5: Ignore it and continue to develop the Qi country. 】
Jiang Chan thought about it carefully, in the last game, it was because of South Korea's firearms that she failed to unify the world, since this is the case, it is better to kill South Korea first!
[You decided to send troops to conquer Korea. 】
[You appointed Zhang Beichen as a general, led 200,000 troops, and attacked South Korea. 】
[South Korea was caught between the three countries, and it was difficult to support it alone. 】
Even though South Korea's firearms are very powerful, countries have mastered certain firearms technology after years of simulation.
The three-way army attacked, and Korea began to slowly fall.
[Two years later, Xinzheng of South Korea was attacked, and King Han committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine. The states of Qin, Zhao, and Qi divided the lands of Korea, and Korea perished. 】
[Three points in the world! 】
……
After the three-way world, the countries continued to develop.
[You persuaded the King of Qi to migrate a large number of people to the southern coastal areas and vigorously develop the coastal areas. 】
Because the Qi State conquered the territory of Yue and Korea, in order to facilitate management, it happened that those people migrated to new areas, which not only reduced the risk of regional unrest, but also opened up new planting areas.
[There is sufficient rain in the south, and rice is harvested twice or even three times a year, which has increased the grain production and population of Qi State. 】
[Eight years later, Qi has become the largest country in the world. 】
[The kings of Qin and Zhao met on the border and decided to join forces against the state of Qi. 】
Ying Yin and Zhao Yun knew very well that if they didn't join forces, they would definitely be broken by Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan one by one.
