Chapter 1802

With Jiang Shiwu's laughter, Jiang Fu, Jiang Meng, Jiang Tao and other sons were stunned. They were all stunned. After dozens of breaths, Jiang Fu said, "father, you have thought of going to Qi Tang?"

For a long time, thanks to the rapid development of the general's house, the people under the rule had enough to eat and wear, and the hearts of the people belonged to the Jiang family. All the sons of the Jiang family also had the ambition and confidence to create a Jiang Dynasty.

There is no need to worry. In order to compete for the next throne, Jiang Meng and Jiang Fu competed with each other and secretly calculated with each other, thus bringing down the Jiang Group due to internal strife.

They are not stupid, and their vision is far from so shallow.

Where am I now? Even if you really become the leader of the new country near the island country of the great Shang Dynasty, the biggest threat is still the Shang empire. The great enemy is nearby. Who will easily make the decision of self mutilation? If you do, even if you become the founder of the new dynasty, you will quickly become a scum like the state of Zhou. A royal family is all puppets.

Before he Jian ZTE, wasn't King Zhao's office all puppets?

In addition, there are many countries in the ocean. Even if you have many heroes and heroes, you don't need to use internal fighting to consume. More recently, Ren Wei, Zhou Qi and the four countries are competitors or planning goals.

Far away, the island of Zhao can reach the Roman continent all the way to the West. There are also island countries in this sea territory. Zhao has sailed to the southwest for more than three months, which is the location of another island country, Lu.

The state of Lu is also the most ideal resting place between Shang and Rome. The significance of the state of Lu is the same as that of Qi for the Shang Tang waterway.

However, the state of Lu itself has only three big islands comparable to Shandong Province. The three big islands bring many small islands to form an island country. The territory and strategic depth are far inferior to the islands of Zhao. Similarly, there are no heroes like Jiang Renmei to change the state form.

Therefore, at present, the state of Lu is in a state of exploitation by high-level businessmen and Rome, in which the authority of big businessmen is more important. The state of Lu originally has more Chinese blood heritage. The population of the country is more than 6 million, of which more than 60% are Chinese Miao, 20% are mixed race, and more than 10% are Roman white.

Ethnic groups are different. Even if the people there are also exploited, they are more interested in big businessmen, and big businessmen treat them... For the same reason, even for recruitment, the treatment of Chinese blood heritage is higher than that of whites.

Once the top leaders of Jiang's group also imagined that once they could really do it, they would replace he's, king of Zhao, and make the whole state of Zhao as strong as the state of Qi? Well, it's not that you can't plot the state of Lu.

Even if that would further touch the interests of the business empire, it is not impossible.

Although the big businessman has a big physique, the chassis he needs to suppress is too big.

It is not only necessary to deal with everything in the Shang Empire, but also to maintain the rule over Ren Zhou and other countries. Even if the state of Zhao moves the state of Lu, it is difficult for the Shang Empire to pull out much strength to fight.

Do big businessmen really dare to do that? Do you believe that the state of Qi will send troops to the state of Zhou immediately? The overall naval strength of Dashang is not much stronger than that of Qi. It belongs to the naval system of Shang emperor, with only 200000 troops and various corresponding top naval guns.

It's not that the Shang Emperor didn't want to raise more troops. It's not necessary in peacetime. The Shang emperor wanted to suppress the powerful gentry in China again and again. There were frequent capital forces and political disputes, and some people in China lived in hardship.

In peacetime, the Shang emperor was able to maintain the Empire. The 300000 army, 200000 Navy and various corresponding military funds were already very strong. Don't forget that this era is not a purely cold weapon era. The firerope gun, three-stage shooting, bronze gun guarding the city, attacking the city, and even battleships have gradually transformed the army into a hot weapon form.

Then there is no need to maintain too many troops when there is no war.

You might as well turn all the cold weapons in the empire into hot weapons instead of more troops.

Qi has 150000 elite navies in the East China Sea of the Shang empire. Even if Zhao moves Lu in the future, Shang can't send too many troops to do things.

The state of Lu is only a goal that the state of Zhao can develop. It has sailed to the Northwest for more than four months. Where is an island country Liu. Liu Guoti is very weak. There are more than one million people in the country, 90% of them are Chinese and Miao, and less than 10% are mixed race or white.

National strength? Talking about national strength, if Gao Zhen leads the elite to leave the state of Zhao and go to the state of Lu, he can easily fight Liu Guochen's clothes. However, Gao Zhen has no political talent in that regard, so he has been entrenched in some ZTE islands under the command of the state of Zhao and is carefree among the small islands.

If Jiang's group continues to move westward, it will encounter some small island countries with more than half or even all of them white.

Therefore, there are so many targets outside. Even if they had the ambition to replace he Zhao Dynasty in the past, none of their outstanding generals had the intention of internal struggle. On the contrary, they are all ambitious and want to expand their territory. After fighting the native land of Zhao, they continue to fight outward.

Now, suddenly heard that Jiang Shiwu, who started the Jiang Group, had the idea of surrendering to Qi or Tang? There's no way not to shock them.

Jiang Shiwu also knew the feelings of Jiang Fu and Jiang Meng's sons, and immediately comforted them, "it's better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. Of course, I have such ambition, so surrendering Qi or Tang means that our Jiang family will consider it after the defeat of the state of Zhao."

"In the current general situation, if there is no miracle, the prospect of Jiangshi is not very thrifty no matter how we look at it. It's also strange for our father. If the base area we chose was not the Huatai mountains, but the Linzi plain, everything would be different."

"But when the situation comes to this stage, we have no choice. If we should fight, we should fight. If there is a conspiracy, we should also do our best. If we lose, we have nothing to say."

…………

Small villages and large valleys along the rivers between the Huatai mountains can be treated as county towns, but at the top of the sky, it is to raise 8.9 million people.

Linzi plain, which is similar to the plain in Central Sichuan on earth, is surrounded by mountains and steep mountain roads. As long as the key gate card is well guarded, there are many dangerous obstacles for 1000 people to block 30000 soldiers. Internally, the vast plain raises thousands of children.

This is also the key reason why he Jian could survive even if the Shang emperor sent troops to Zhao. Even if several dangerous passes into Linzi were lost, even Linzi was lost. He retreated backward in advance and guarded other dangerous passes. Relying on geographical advantages, a large number of Shang army had no choice but to take him Jian.

But when Jiang Shiwu occupied the base area, he didn't go to Linzi plain, but chose Yunzhong city here in Huatai mountains. There was no way. How many people were he? More than 10000 people and most of them are miscellaneous soldiers. If they really go to Linzi plain, they will face a steady stream of troops controlled by the gentry.

The plain itself has millions of people. In contrast, the area around Yunzhong city is vast and sparsely populated. The powerful gentry's army wants to dispatch, and they have to March hundreds of miles every time

If the city in the clouds were not far away from the heart of the state of Zhao, he would fight down and defend once or twice, but he would lose more than ten times.

Now Jiang Shiwu wants to smile bitterly. With an opponent of He Jian's level, he is really successful and defeated.
