Chapter 108: The Art of Closing
"Silk and pearls must account for the majority of the coins, and this is the condition of trading with me." Song Che added.
"I'm afraid the matter of the year's coins can't be as Aunt Song wishes." Gao Chen said.
Song Che frowned: "Why?" β
Gao Chen said: "It's not that Gao can't take out these bargaining chips, but that the Great Liang Dynasty will no longer humiliate and pay tribute to its neighbors." β
Song Che said: "Lord Gao is a privy envoy, so he is naturally the main battle faction. If it is the Lord and the faction, there must be a different statement. β
Gao Chen's voice grew colder, "Do all the merchants want the Liang to bow down to Dijon and eat a mouthful of imperial grain?" If that's the case, it's okay not to do it. β
With that, he got up and left.
"Don't misunderstand, if Song really wants to make a fortune, why did he write the "Preface to Wangjiang Pavilion"?"
Song Che stopped Gao Chen, walked out of the counter, and said meaningfully: "My wife once said, 'Without a country, how can there be a home, without a home, how can there be a business?'" 'Although Song is far away from the rivers and lakes, he still cares about his family and country,"
He turned his head again and asked Gao Chen: "Lord Gao can know that now the Great Liang Dynasty is surrounded by wolves and tigers, showing a declining trend, if you insist on fighting again, the country and society will be in danger." β
Gao Chen came to the window, opened the window, and let the wind and rain hit his face, sonorous and powerful: "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, Dan's heart will never change, beard, Tartar, widows, Miao slaves, deceive me too much, even if I fight to the last drop of blood, what will I do!" β
"My generation of Han people have never lost their integrity, but you see, just the coastal plague has displaced tens of thousands of people, if the country is divided and the land of China is dominated by foreign races, will tens of thousands of people become the cattle that can be cooked?"
Throughout the official history, the chaos of China, the changes in Jingkang, and the domination of China by aliens will all be nightmares for the Han people.
Gao Chen was sad and helpless, "What should I do?" What can it be?"
Song Che said lightly: "For today's plan, Taoguang is obscure." β
Gao Chen shook his sleeves and snorted: "I'm afraid you don't know, the four words 'Taoguang Yanghui' have been said rotten by those timid and fearful poor and rotten Confucians in the court - what is Taoguang Yanghui?" Nod your head? Humiliating New Year's Coin? Compensation for land cession? Or even send a woman? I really don't know where the blood of the Daliang people is lost! β
"Lord Gao doesn't need to worry, I have a plan, which can be called a peace between the two sides, can make Dijon stop the war, and can make Daliang breathe."
"Oh?"
Gao Chen almost pounced, holding Song Che's arm, his eyes lit up: "Uncle has a clever plan, why don't you say it quickly?"
Song Che returned to the counter, took a pen and paper, first drew three connected circles on the paper, wrote "Dijon" in the upper circle, and wrote "Daliang" in the lower circle, and then pointed to another circle that had never been written and asked: "Lord Gao, you might as well guess which country is this?" β
Gao Chen thought and said: "The west side of Dijon, the northwest side of the girder, borders the Dijon girder...... It's Xiqiang! β
"How is the strength of Xiqiang better than Dijon?" Song Che asked again.
Gao Chen shook his head, "Xiqiang, the barbarians, the farming, salt and iron are backward, and they live on nomadism, although they have learned the Han system in recent years, they have not been able to be strong, and they are definitely not as good as Dijon." β
"What about the girders?" Song Che asked again.
Gao Chen shook his head again: "Except for being naturally stronger, everything else is not as good." β
Song Che wrote the word "Xiqiang" in the circle and said: "Then you can unite it to fight Dijon together!" β
Gao Chen was startled at first, and then his eyes lit up, looking at the three circles on the drawing, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Song Che said: "Combining vertical and horizontal, linking the weak and carrying the strong, this is the 'art of shutting down', and listen to my analysisββ
Yongliang in the northwest is a barren land, there are Lianghe, Gobi, Wanchuan danger, just grasp the fortress, stick to the battle, it will not be long before the Hu people will attack weak, do not worry;
In the southwest of Miao Jiang, the Miao people have no lofty ambitions, they only seek a piece of peace, both soft and hard, and fight and retreat, it is not difficult to appease;
Although the coastal pirates are getting bigger and bigger, after all, across the vast sea, we will at most be bitten off a piece of meat and hurt for a while;
Dijon in the north, if it is allowed to break through the pass, there will be no danger of mountains and rivers, and the Dijon cavalry will be brave and drive straight into the Central Plains, and the dynasty will be in danger;
To sum up, it is clear who is the primary enemy of the girder;
Dijon rises in the north, it is the strongest overlord outside the Guan, let me ask, even the Great Liang is afraid of Dijon, how can Xiqiang, who has lower national strength, not be afraid?
The so-called 'two fists are hard to defeat with four hands', if you can persuade Xiqiang to send troops to attack Dijon from the east, and then attack from the north, under the attack from both sides, you dare not say that you will defeat Dijon, and you will be able to stabilize the battle situation first;
stabilized Dijon in the north, and the girder was able to catch his breath, and then turned around to clear the Japanese invaders;
Once the sea calamity is eliminated, the national strength is restored, the military service is extensive, the army is strengthened and the army is rejuvenated, and when the wrists are stiff and the strength is sufficient, will it not be easy to get back what has been lost?"
"Listening to Aunt Song's methodical analysis, Gao is full of admiration, but," Gao Chen said suspiciously: "Although Xiqiang borders Daliang, there are very few negotiations, and the Xiqiang tribe is scattered, how can we persuade them to carry Dijon together?" β
Song Che smiled: "That's not easy, give it sweetness, and listen to my analysis-
Xiqiang is backward in agriculture, lack of salt and iron, nomadic herding, strong horses, Qiang people eat cattle and mutton to grow up, limbs are developed, temperament is strong, brave and good at fighting;
Our Liang Liang has money and technology, and we should not be too stingy to help them farm, teach them to make iron, give them some money, and exchange business with them......
Where have these barbarians seen any silk jewelry? Let's really help, even if they don't look at the situation, they have to look at the money to send troops, right?
In addition, send a delegation of envoys to lobby the major tribes of Xiqiang, and be sure to explain the pros and cons of forming an alliance;
The reason why Dijon did not destroy Xiqiang and came to attack Daliang was because Xiqiang was too poor and worthless, and if Daliang was destroyed, Xiqiang would sooner or later fall under the iron hooves of Dirong;
As long as the person in power is not a fool, Xiqiang will agree to form an alliance. β
Listening to your words, Gao Chen was speechless in admiration, and only shook his head and sighed: "Aunt Song's talent, dragon and phoenix unicorn, unparalleled national warrior!" β
"Don't give me a high hat, I will offer this plan with you, not only for the peace of the world, but also for my own interests," Song Che said with a smile:
"My Shen family must take the lion's share of the New Year's coins for Xiqiang in the coming day, and as for other businesses after the exchange of trade, my Shen family must also taste this cup of soup first."
