Chapter 233: What Does He Want to Do?
Trade must be opened in the West Sea!
The trade of the four seas is related to the livelihood of the world, the West Sea connects the north through the south of the Yangtze River, and was originally the most important trade area for the rich merchants in the north, but now, because the West Sea is blocked by fog, the trade between the north and the south has come to a standstill, which is very unfavorable to both sides.
The north lacks salt, iron, all kinds of silk and tea, and the south lacks horses, grain, and special cotton from the north, not including the trade of luxury goods between the two sides.
In wartime, these resources are even more important, and the troubles caused by the stagnation of trade not only puzzle the Northern Wei Guogong and his gang, but also the current Her Royal Highness the eldest princess
The 300,000 army is very short of food, and she can't always rely on Chen Qing to help, Chen Qing and her temporary alliance to supply food, but now Chen Qing has the ability to protect himself, he can run out of food at any time, he has to guard, it is imperative to expand his own grain route, and in the West Sea, relying on sea grain is the most economical and cost-effective.
"How's the movement going on at the court?"
The eldest princess lay on the chair tiredly and asked Shen Wuye, who was standing respectfully opposite.
"According to the information I left over there, the imperial court sent troops ten days ago, and it was Wei Chipeng who led the team, and most of the people who dispatched this time were light horses, according to the foot range, there is a high probability that they have already handed over to Chen Qing!"
"Light riding?" The eldest princess frowned, and then took a deep breath: "Those people in the imperial court are still so arrogant and ignorant, Chen Qing can force me away, why do they think that 50,000 light horsemen can take Chen Qing?" ”
"Your Highness thinks the imperial court will lose?"
"What do you think?" The eldest princess said with a smile: "When Chen Qing came to take over the Nanming Mansion that day, you also saw the formation, what do you think?" ”
Shen Wuye was silent.
He didn't expect that in just one year, Chen Qing would be able to have such military strength!
He still doesn't understand how Chen Qing did it, at that time, the army close to Nanming Mansion was at least 200,000, and he could see those soldiers clearly, all of them were incredibly strong, their qi and blood were more pure and powerful, and they were even comparable to the elite combat power of Jin Longwei.
Two hundred thousand. Leaning on Jiangnan, it seems to have appeared out of thin air!
"But with Wei Chi Peng here, it is difficult for Chen Qing to win Lisuo." The eldest princess sighed: "The key is that the pressure from the imperial court is too small, if Wei Chipeng retreats this time, he can't persuade the imperial court to transfer more troops, Chen Qing has no pressure, I'm afraid he will have ideas for me." ”
"The Imperial Court. Now the troops are tense" As the former secretary of the military department, Shen Wuye is very clear about the current situation of the imperial court: "The battle situation in the north is said to be scorching, the flying dragon guard in Yundu cannot be moved lightly, and the golden dragon guard has been swallowed by our plan again, and the black dragon guard is now almost wiped out, and the only thing that the imperial court can move now is the barbarian dragon guard in the west!" ”
"Westside?" The eldest princess frowned, the barbarian dragon guard in the west mainly defended the southern barbarian land, where there was the most troublesome ancient wilderness country in the eight wildernesses, collectively called. Ten Demon Kingdom!
Unlike the orthodoxy of the Central Plains human race, those countries believe in demons!!
Relying on witch sacrifices, with human heads and human blood, to worship the gods they believe in, is a more barbaric and terrible existence than the north.
If it weren't for some of the arrangements of King Qin back then, it would have been impossible for Nanban to be calm for so many years, and it would have been impossible for the Xiao family to sit firmly in the Central Plains for so many years.
Now although the ten kingdoms are fighting endlessly, they can't look east, but the court's laxity there has not been reduced, and the Barbarian Dragon Guard may not be the strongest, but it is the largest number and the most loyal!
The imperial court, even if it is a flying dragon guard, it is estimated that it will not dare to move the barbarian dragon guard.
After all, those barbarians are released, and it is really infinitely poisonous!
"It's not the same lately." Shen Wuye said with a smile: "In the Ten Demon Kingdoms, the Shura Kingdom, which is now closest to the Great Jin, took the initiative to find an alliance with the Great Jin, saying that they were willing to marry each other's royal bloodlines and make a firm alliance!" ”
"Marry each other's royal blood?" The eldest princess was immediately happy: "Shura Country? ”
The Shura Kingdom believes in the evil god Asura King Rahu, and the people have become brave and fierce because of the anger of the Asura, and over the years, they no longer look like people, and basically the whole country is a half-demon appearance, and ordinary people basically do not regard the people of their Shura Kingdom as real human races.
The royal bloodline is even more exaggerated, all of them are like real Shura's four-armed purple skin, ugly and abnormal, who is especially willing to marry them?
"The court has allowed it!" Shen Wuye said.
"Oh Wenchen is in charge, sure enough, the bones are soft enough!" The eldest princess sneered.
Although she is far away in the West Sea, she probably understands the current situation in the imperial court.
Most of the princes are conquering in the north, and the prince of the prison country is young, and the queen who sits on the throne is hehe, although it is terrible, but it is not political, and the basic state affairs are now in the hands of Jiuqing!
It is also for this reason that the queen of the country can sit so peacefully, after all, this is the first time since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty that the situation in the imperial court has completely fallen to the civil official.
But I didn't expect that this group of literati had just taken power, and they were willing to exchange their royal daughters for alliances, which was really good, no wonder the Central Plains began to become weak after the civil officials took power completely in history.
"I'm curious, the princes are all young, who are the other parties going to marry?" The eldest princess laughed.
"It is said that she is a princess, she was born extremely beautiful, and she doesn't have to marry a royal family, let go of her words, her peers, if you can win her, you can marry her!"
"Look!" The eldest princess suddenly stroked her palms and laughed: "This is the child of the royal family!" ”
"And what about our side?"
"Several princesses on our side are said to have been stunned at that time, and they have not decided on a candidate."
"Is that so?" The eldest princess nodded: "In other words, there is really an alliance?" If that's the case"
After forming an alliance, it seems that the imperial court can indeed transfer some of the barbarian dragon guards over, so that the situation in Jiangnan seems to have new changes, and if the other party is more frustrated, such as letting the southern barbarians come to Jiangnan
To be honest, those Wenchen who have no bones are sometimes unable to do such things
"But no matter what, our own grain channel needs to be opened." The eldest princess said solemnly.
Shen Wuye nodded, relying on Chen Qing alone, the risk is too great, even if the imperial court can put pressure on Chen Qing so that Chen Qing has to continue to cooperate with them, but this way of cooperation is still too fragile, the eldest princess didn't expect Jiangnan to be taken by Chen Qing, and now they barely take the six cities of the West Sea, but they can't support the 300,000 army at all.
The evolution of high-level dependents requires more energy and more things, at this time, you can't delay the growth of your dependents because of the problem of food and grass, after all, once the Dragon Palace is opened, the Armageddon is inevitable, and the more advanced the living corpse on her side, the more things she can grab later.
"It's difficult" Shen Wuye sighed: "The Western Waiwai is occupied by that guy, we can only go from the north, the ancient desolate country in the north has grain, but it is the same thing to exchange it with us, and how can we bypass the group of Wei Guogong in the north?" ”
Eldest Princess: "."
Just as he was thinking, a tall black figure approached in the hall, at least three meters tall, and the black battle armor shrouded his body, like a moving steel fortress.
The eldest princess frowned and looked at it, and her family members rarely took the initiative to approach here.
Shen Wuye also looked over, two pairs of scarlet eyes looked at each other, Shen Wuye instantly knew the reason, and looked back at the eldest princess in amazement.
"What's wrong?"
"Wei Guogong is here!"
"Wei Guogong?" The eldest princess was a little stunned: "What is he doing here?" ”
Wei Guogong is now the focus of the war in the north, and he actually came to the West Sea at this time? What's to be done?
"Invited by Chen Qing, come with us to Nanming Mansion to discuss matters!"
Eldest Princess: "."
