Chapter 879: Blockade
In the following time, Ye Qing would appear in the council hall every day to read and discuss internal and external affairs.
After receiving the report, Ye Qing immediately summoned the cabinet members, pacing and sighing: "Lone finally lives up to the Han family, but the situation is a little bad, the latest report, you have all read it, discuss the matter, if you have knowledge, say it casually, don't be formal!"
"Lord, this is inevitable!" Lu Shangjing is the chief cabinet minister, and he wants to speak, seeing Ye Qing looking at himself, he bowed slightly on the pier, and said calmly and humbly: "The minister is not clear about foreign affairs, but he is familiar with the system and reaction of the Cai Dynasty, and the network of various states has not been connected on a large scale, according to the recent influence of astronomical tides and magnetism, it is estimated that half a month is not enough for the news of the southernmost Chu State to be transmitted to the north, and the news of the East China Sea to be transmitted to the west of the Xia...... But it was almost a back and forth transmission of information from Yingzhou to the imperial capital. ”
"Although the change in dragon qi is mysterious, this kind of big change can't be concealed if you want to. ”
"Therefore, it is also a matter of course that the rapid deterioration of the shape of the two states of Xiang should be, if before, the suppression and blockade of the Cai Dynasty were still a little hesitant, but now it is iron-hearted. ”
"But it's okay, this also covers up the secret alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise, the situation of the Hanhou Mansion will be even more unfavorable. ”
Ye Qing nodded when he listened: "What I said is that this news has not been leaked until now, although it can't be concealed for much time, it would be better to have one more day!"
Except for the ministers who followed at the earliest, most of them were Han ministers, and they were stable in terms of people's hearts and interests, and they would not leak secrets to the Cai Dynasty, but for the sake of insurance, they had made a plan, and they were waiting to face the anger of the Cai Dynasty in case of leakage.
Now it seems that King Wei has not leaked the news at all, and the two have a tie in this regard.
Cao Cao was full of energy, his body was owed, and he continued: "This is a helpless thing, but the lord's system is promulgated, and due to the advance preparation, it is calm and smooth, and this is the blessing of the lord." ”
"When the minister became the minister, he knew that the internal industrial expansion was in full swing, and the production capacity had increased several times, which was really gratifying!"
"All things are included, and those who are determined are not chaotic, and any threshold can be passed. ”
Ye Qing pondered for a long time and looked at the center of the council hall: "What you said is right, but once the Han system is promulgated, it will almost be a rupture, and the external situation is deteriorating rapidly, not to be underestimated, let's seriously discuss the military situation!"
"Yes!"
There is a cyan conch placed on the ground, which radiates light and shadow, presenting a huge three-dimensional virtual sand table in the air, showing the nine counties of Yingzhou, the three counties of northern Hunan and the three counties of central Hunan in the jurisdiction, a total of fifteen counties of economic, political, military, ground network, and weather information, all of which are presented in a three-dimensional dynamic situation.
One of the light and color information dyes the mountains, rivers, and cities into various colors, which is complex and regular, which is a masterpiece made by the rain and hated clouds after returning from the earth, and an upgraded version of the cloud and water map of the past.
Because of this intuitiveness, when Ji Caizhu summarized the military situation, he was also cautious in the brief description: "The reactions of all parties are a little different, after the royal first fleet let the lord lead the homeless fleet to break through, the strategy of locking the dragon on the waterway and cutting off Yingxiang was declared a failure, so in the past few days, it began to withdraw to the middle reaches one after another, and it is said that it is knocking other princes." ”
"The Royal First Fleet is very strong, and they have options. Ye Qing frowned when he looked at it: "King Qingjun instructed Sun Xinbo to personally lead the Xiangzhou Navy Division to continue to block the merchant ships coming and going from Yingzhou?"
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, compared with the first fleet of the royal family, King Qingjun doesn't have much choice, this person doesn't even want his own reputation as a woman in order to regain Xiangbei, and now he can't even get his hands on Xiangzhong, this county is equivalent to a ruined boat, and if he doesn't win, he will die, even if he loses both, he can only fight with him Ye Qing to the end.
"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?"
Jia Xu listened to it clearly, sneered, and had to admit that the damage of the trapped beast was still very great: "It's a bit troublesome to blockade merchant ships...... The transportation of displaced people is related to the operation of the Taoist industry, and the lord has to personally escort it, and every time the large fleet is carried out, it is also labor-saving, and it is not delayed to cross the river to send it, but the merchant ship trade is relatively scattered, and the lord cannot escort it every time. ”
Ye Qing nodded, in fact, even if it is a large fleet, it is impossible to escort the whole process of the long route upstream and downstream, which is unrealistic, which gives the blockade of merchant ships space: "From this point of view, Sun Xinbo, a slippery loach, is still very good at picking tasks." ”
He said it very easily, but with the confirmation of this military situation, Shocking Rain stepped forward to cast a spell on the central light and shadow sand table, changing the color of the waterway between Yingzhou and Xiangzhou, Qingbi turned red in a blink of an eye, and the monthly trade volume of the water trade route that was originally virtually marked was 2.3 million taels, but it was cleared to only 300,000 taels.
Seeing this, even if Han Chen was magnanimous, his face twitched...... The so-called killing parents and cutting off people's financial routes are mortal enemies!
"On land, the Cai Dynasty also established a special northern army, according to the imperial capital's notice, there are 30,000 central troops entering the downstream, belonging to the Xinjun Wang deployment, and its movement is ......"
"According to the dark information, Yu Fan has taken refuge in the king of Xinjun, and recently plotted to send troops, I don't know what the target is......"
With the further presentation of the military information, the shocking rain continued to change the information on the light and shadow sand table, and it was obvious that the imperial court took Anzhou and Xiazhou as the source of strategy, and initially established an encirclement in the west of Xiangzhou and Xiangzhou, and went to Lingzhou, Xiaozhou and other places, and ordered a complete blockade to prohibit the entry and exit of Yingzhou caravans...... The monthly trade volume of land trade is one million taels, and the same amount is cleared to less than 100,000 taels.
Everyone on the field had a painful look on their faces, and they could protest against the blockade, but the Cai Dynasty was nominally strictly testing to prevent foreign magicians from mixing in, but in fact, it was oppressing the entire caravan, so that no matter how good or cheap the products of Yingzhou were, they would not be able to sell.
In this strategy of water and land pun, you can feel the strength and confidence of the Cai Dynasty.
Ji Caizhu's voice became quieter: "In addition, I received news from Yingzhou this morning, and they said that they could no longer trade with us...... Now only Qingzhou still maintains trade, but everyone knows that Qingzhou is dominated by Qingde, but Qingzhou is the farthest, and the states in front of it are blocked, and there is no way to get the goods. ”
"That is, all trade with the inner state has basically ended?"
Ye Qing stared at the red mark on the map, and he didn't know who proposed this strategy, but he had to admit that it was indeed very lethal.
In the past half month, almost every two days, there will be a letter of apology from the governor or the governor of the neighboring state, "The pressure of the imperial court order is too great, and we have no choice but to abandon the previous agreement, and we are willing to return the liquidated damages...... Simply looking, it seems that all fools who don't make money at all.
As if feeling that the atmosphere was too depressing, Ji Caizhu quickly skipped this aspect and reported the following better news: "However, Lingzhou and Xiaozhou have communicated with several counties, and secretly communicated to us, saying that they can smuggle, and hope that we can discuss and discuss reasonable dividends." ”
"Take the channel to threaten us, and ask us to give up more benefits to the surrounding forces?"
Jia Xu's eyes froze, and his smile became a little sarcastic: "A good one can be smuggled, I guess this is the intention of the Cai Dynasty...... Probably now, except for the damage to our Hanhou Mansion, the rest of the parties have become winners, no wonder the blockade has been responded to from all sides...... This is a red eye for our previous success in trade smuggling in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and we want to divide up the well. ”
"This strategy should take into account the efficiency of the competition for foreign ships, avoid the immortal advantage of the lord, and fully give full play to the accumulated strength of the Cai Dynasty. ”
"It only takes five years...... No, three years can reverse the balance of forces among the forces in the North!" The poisonous man sighed twice, his eyes flashed: "This is already a yang conspiracy, if it weren't for the secret alliance between the lord and the king of Wei, it would really be too much for the Cai Dynasty to suppress like this...... At present, it is mentioned that Cai Chao can hold us down for three years. ”
"Three years?" Sima Yi shook his head when he heard this, and said firmly: "Half a year is difficult!"
"Oh, what did Zhongda say this?" Ye Qing looked over with great interest, he could judge that Cai Chao's good times were not long, but he also had the heart to listen to other people's opinions.
Listening is the only way to reduce risk.
Sima Yi had a rare opportunity to play, and he was slightly happy in his heart, and bowed down to salute: "Lord, the princes of all families are not idiots, just waiting for a thorn to jump out to attract the firepower of the Cai Dynasty, and wait for the Cai Dynasty to sweep down, and then it will be a comprehensive covenant." ”
"This prediction is also very likely to ......" Ye Qing nodded, thought for a while, and then asked Lu Shangjing: "What do you think?"
"The minister boldly calculated, even if it came to this point, the Cai Dynasty had no intention of breaking the net with us, after all, all the vassal states were originally implementing their own systems and separating from the Cai Dynasty. ”
"The Lord is crowned the queen of Han, and it is the same, we are just one step faster. ”
"Therefore, the Cai Dynasty should still be waiting for our reaction to this...... Generally speaking, we should see that the embattled desperate situation, smart people will not go all the way to death, the best choice is to admit defeat with dignity before the foundation is exhausted......"
Lu Shangjing paused, he felt that this was not good, and explained: "When this is a guess by the minister about Cai Chao's thinking...... After all, in the eyes of the Cai Dynasty, now the lord is still the first immortal marquis, and the role of setting an example for the people of the world is still very strong, and the current means are almost the same. ”
"It's just that in the future, if the second and third immortal marquis are born, the more the Cai Dynasty will not need us, and in this case, the means may be more ugly. ”
'So the pressure is high on us and we have to break through during this time. ”
"Break out......"
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, asked for some opinions, and gradually made up his mind: "The analysis of everyone is very reasonable, it is already like this, as long as we don't admit defeat, then it is not of great significance to negotiate with Cai Chao." ”
"There are still exchanges on the scene, but in fact, we don't pay attention to Cai Chao...... As long as the Cai Dynasty does not attack us directly, we will treat them as if they do not exist...... Don't do it if it's more intense, there should be a lot more anxious than us. ”
"It's too early to say about the breakthrough, the integration of existing resources is the right thing, and with the blockade of the Cai Dynasty, it is also a matter of course for us to increase trade with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and no one can blame it deeply. ”
"It doesn't matter if the trade is exposed, as long as the things are divided equally and the general part of the world is not leaked out. ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
