Chapter 1403: The Time Has Come
Zhou Wuzong's victory at the mouth of the Baijiang River caused huge damage to Dongying, so that its warships were destroyed, the navy was annihilated, and even the army suffered heavy casualties.
It has been more than 100 years since then, but Dongying understands that they still do not have the strength to invade China, unless they enjoy the benefits of fishermen.
But the defeat of the Turks has made Dongying retreat.
The reason why the Baijiang Estuary was recaptured was because the monarch of Dongying wanted to reopen this safe route, and the ultimate goal was actually to facilitate trade between the two countries.
However, Awata Kenyong did not have such a vision, this powerful minister, what he valued was the prestige of the family, in his eyes, the successful rescue of his nephew Awada Mayang back to China was the top priority, and the king of Toei was worried, so he arranged for Aoki Ziya to supervise.
After all, the Awata family was the biggest contributor to the Battle of Shiraekou, and it was impossible for the emperor to oppose Awata's request for an envoy, but if Waita would not obey the emperor's edict and damage the interests of the monarchy, then the emperor would have an excuse to punish the Awata family and undermine their prestige.
Although Aoki was the deputy envoy, he had the emperor's secret decree in his hand, so when the Empress of the Great Zhou openly announced the break, he could only show the secret decree and threaten Awata Kenyong to hand over power.
But will Awata be willing?
Of course not!
Don't say that if you can't rescue your nephew, it will definitely cause the Awata family to lose face, and they will be robbed of the right to negotiate, and they will return to the country in disgrace, which will lead to a great loss of prestige! All the credit goes to the Aoki clan, and Awata Kenyu's envoy this time has been in vain to offset the merits of the Battle of Shiraekou.
However, Awata Kenyong also had helplessness, because his personal guards could not follow the mission into Beijing, and many subordinate officials could never violate the emperor's secret decree.
He could only lose his temper at the staff: "Make your own decisions? The source is clearly acting according to orders, but he was beheaded by the Great Zhou on the execution ground, and was abused and humiliated by the people of Zhou, the source is a son of my Awada clan, and I am a minister of the pillars of Japan, how can the emperor damage the prestige of the empire so much! ”
Even though there was a show of weakness by Aoki Ziya and others, the queen withdrew the five-day limit order and promised to negotiate again, but she did not withdraw the edict to execute Awata Mayang, and still escorted him to the execution ground and beheaded him in public, which caused tens of thousands of onlookers, and the people of Chang'an City even rushed up to cut the body of Awata Mayang with thousands of knives, and even saved the funeral.
And Chang'an City, which has lifted the curfew, has been lit up for several nights, and it is more lively and festive than the Shangyuan Festival.
Although Aoki Ziya, on behalf of the monarch of Dongying, admitted the crime of "negligence", and did not admit that the emperor they claimed to be the mastermind, they promised to pay compensation, promised to pay tribute every year, and the Great Zhou court announced that all the tribute of Dongying would be paid to the families of the victims who were slaughtered by the Turks after the fall of Chang'an.
Moreover, Dongying's merchant ships will pay more taxes than those of Dashi and other countries in the future, which is equivalent to a euphemistic admission of Dongying's losses.
Moreover, Shi Niang also asked Dongying to withdraw troops from the mouth of the Baijiang River, but hoped that Silla would allow Dongying merchant ships to enter the Zhou through this route, but they could levy taxes on Dongying.
For the last one, Aoki Ziya has no right to agree, and Eleven Niang allows him to return to China to report to the monarch of Dongying, but he does not sign an agreement for a day, and Dongying merchant ships are not allowed to land on the shore on the big Monday.
Awata Kenyong scolded the Empress of Zhou for being arrogant and the Aoki clan for being incompetent, but there was no other way.
And Wei Haichi has of course heard about this major event, and snorted coldly: "The Liu family really dares to say that he is not ashamed, if he wants to make a profit, he should be lenient to Sutian and horse raising, and now he has killed people, and he actually whimsically forced Dongying to withdraw his troops from Baijiangkou, who does she think she is?" ”
If the queen succeeds, then without wasting a single soldier, she can maintain diplomatic relations between Dongying and Silla, and also make the national prestige of the Great Zhou spread far and wide. Wei Haichi deeply thought that the queen was just delusional.
Even He Zhan expressed doubts: "The last one, Dongying should not agree." ”
However, Eleven Niang insisted very much: "The ambition of the Dongying people is no less than that of the Turks, and if the development of aviation and trade, our country must strengthen the navy, Silla borders the Great Zhou, if you sit back and ignore its attack by the Dongying, it will inevitably become a hidden danger, if you can't suppress the Dongying at this time, you are only afraid of raising tigers in the future." ”
Although it is not appropriate for the Great Zhou to start a war with Dongying, if Dongying is unwilling to surrender, then an economic and trade blockade can be implemented to limit the strength of Dongying, and although the Great Zhou is unwilling to lose troops to intervene in the disputes of other countries, it is necessary to maintain diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.
Compared with Dongying and Silla at this time, the Great Zhou is still strong after all, and all that is needed is to form a strengthened naval army and further improve the construction of warships.
The prosperity of the Wuzong Dynasty is not only the rationality of the tax law, the clarity of politics, the indestructible navy and cavalry, and the soldiers of wisdom and courage are the most powerful guarantee of the Great Zhou Empire, otherwise it can only be a piece of fat, which will sooner or later cause all countries to covet.
Cowardice is even more undesirable, because peace is never won by compromise and concession.
This truth is so simple, but Wei Haichi, who was once in power, did not understand, she only saw the greed for pleasure of Yingzong and other emperors, and firmly believed that the empire was still strong, such as Wuzong and Mingzong periods to be able to dominate the four seas, her fists were only used in internal fighting, in the Daming Palace, one side of the court, and later even the Daming Palace and Chang'an City were handed over, but she still firmly believed that relying on the Yangtze River, she could be partial to Jinling.
For the gradually rising alien race, for the increasingly corrupt internal affairs, she chose to close her eyes, she was deeply moved by her achievements, and thought that she had far surpassed Queen Wen, and until this time, she still did not accept the end of defeat, still deceived herself, as if the road to the end of the road, with her eyes closed, she could really win the willows.
She thought that if Dongying refused to negotiate peace and insisted on going to war, Dongying's powerful navy would give the Liu family a hard lesson, if the war broke out again, even He Ye would lose his prestige, and the subjects of the world would miss the peace of her reign, they would question the fallacy of the current emperor and queen, and they would raise their arms and appeal, and she would still listen to the court, everything would be back on track, He Ye could rely on the people's desire and the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and she would definitely be able to rely on the prestige and popularity of the people.
But Wei Haichi didn't pay attention, this obsession was even ridiculous to the point that even Xie Ying and Ren sneered.
The two shallow female streamers she looked down on from beginning to end were also contemptuous and sneering at Wei Haichi's whimsy at this time.
Wei is crazy, and the desperate situation has completely destroyed this woman in her last years - this is the determination of Xie Ying and Ren Yaoguang.
It's just that compared to Ren Yaoguang's numbness and dazedness, Xie Ying's heart moved.
She realized that the time she had been waiting for had come, but it was fleeting.
Therefore, she began to echo Wei Haichi: "What the Queen Mother said is that as long as Dongying declares war on the Great Zhou, He Ye and the Liu family will be questioned, and then the Queen Mother will come out to clean up the mess and save the people from the war, won't she win the hearts and minds of the people?" But the Queen Mother can't just expect the lord of Dongying to be the lord, she must create an opportunity. ”
Her plan was to collude with Awata to assassinate Prince Silla.
If the crown prince of Silla was killed in Daejo, the king of Silla would definitely believe that this was a private agreement between the Yoo family and Dongying, so how could the king of Silla swallow his anger? There will definitely be a war with the Great Zhou, wouldn't Dongying be able to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Silla? The Awata clan is a powerful minister of Dongying, and if he makes meritorious deeds, his prestige is bound to rise sharply, and he will secretly help the Queen Mother to seize power again! ”
Such a self-righteous proposal is exactly what Wei Haichi wants.
"Only the crown prince of Silla is in Chang'an City, guarded by the forbidden army, only relying on Yili and other Turkic warriors, it is difficult to succeed in assassination, only when the prince of Silla leaves Chang'an, to prevent loosening, it is easy to start, in order to ensure that the plan is smooth, it is necessary to reach an alliance with the Dongying Mission, covered by the Dongying Mission, Yili and others can ensure that they leave Chang'an City and ambush the Crown Prince of Silla."
Wei Haichi has no available manpower, so he can only rely on the Turkic dead soldiers in Xie Ying's hands, but it is impossible for Xie Ying, who has lost his family, to persuade Awata Jianyong to form an alliance with him, which requires Wei Haichi's handwriting to contact Awata and lobby for an alliance.
So in Xie Ying's hands, he finally got the evidence.
And Awata Jianyong was originally unwilling, when Wei Haichi, the waste empress dowager, was "summoned", and was willing to make a desperate bet, waste all his mind to get rid of his ears and eyes, meet Wei Haichi, and place the more than ten Turkic dead soldiers in the Dongying Mission, and when the Silla Mission said goodbye and left Beijing, they finally set off to return to China.
Wei Haichi's series of actions naturally failed to hide Eleven Niang, and it was impossible for Awata Jianyong to get rid of his ears and eyes, and this plan was doomed to fail.
However, to catch thieves and stolen goods, Eleven Niang did not startle the snakes, and let those disguised dead soldiers go out of the city smoothly, but secretly laid a net.
Unexpectedly, before Yili and the others could act, Xie Ying had already withdrawn his salary.
Wei Haichi was not completely defenseless against Xie Ying, when Yi Li and the others infiltrated the Dongying mission and left the city, she locked Xie Ying in a room, and only let Ren send food and drink every day, and Xie Ying, who was completely alone without the power of a chicken, could not "break through" alone, but she had already observed Ren's despair for Wei Haichi, as well as her confusion and panic about the future, she was sure to persuade this once ambitious "ally" who obeyed her words again.
"A-Yao, don't hope for Webster anymore." Xie Ying took Ren's hand, her face was sincere, but also serious: "She has reached the end of her rope, and I dare to guarantee that since I came to take refuge, the queen must have known that the reason why she did not move was to put Wei to death!" ”
Ren's hand shook fiercely, and the food box almost fell to the ground.
was caught by Xie Ying steadily, took it, and put it aside: "I gave advice to Wei, in fact, I wanted to win a way out for myself, Queen Liu is a person who understands, and knows that the two of us are not a disaster to her, and we should not be killed, as long as you cooperate with me, there is still a glimmer of life, and I am not afraid of no firewood to burn, as long as I am not buried with Weishi this time, there will still be glory and wealth to be expected in the future." ”
Ren Yaoguang's confused mind only clarified all the dead ends, she didn't know how to get out of the desperate situation, and at this time, she could only obey Xie Ying's words.
So this room was not locked on this day.
And Wei Haichi, who now lives in this house, suddenly burst into flames.
