Gusts of river wind blowing away the heat of summer.
Xiao Ming and Fijian went up to heti on both sides of Xiaoqing River and pondered for a while. He said, "since this is the day, we will continue to cooperate with the king of Chu. As Fei Ge said, the biggest threat to our king is king Zhao, King Liang, King Yan and barbarians. At present, we should stabilize the northern rivers and mountains."
"Yes, your highness, since ancient times, all the founders of the country have been fighting from the north to the south. The king of Chu will let him be free for a while." Fiji is also a resourceful man.
Before this incident, he also told Pang Yukun that Pang Yukun also supported his idea, because he thought that the feudal state was indeed isolated and had many enemies. Now we should seize this opportunity.
After all, for the king of Chu, all he wanted was land south of the Yangtze River.
"Well, in that case, I will go back and accept it." Xiao Ming's brows spread.
The barbarians, the Japanese, the Koguryo, the king of Zhao, the king of Liang and the king of Yan were the main enemies Xiao Ming faced at present. Except for the Japanese at sea, the rest of the forces were in the north, and none of them were good enemies.
In particular, the barbarians were a prairie empire across East Asia to Central Asia. In the west, the barbarians were even at war with the Ottoman Empire, which showed their vast territory.
For the barbarians, the state of Dayu is just a corner under its territorial coverage. In other places, the barbarians still have more land to fight for.
It must be a long and lasting war with such a great empire. If Xiao Ming's land and resources were used up, it would be enough to drag him down.
Therefore, for whatever reason, he had to unify the north, and then he had enough manpower and material resources to completely defeat the barbarians.
Thinking all the way, Xiao Ming and Fiji go to Qingzhou City.
Back in the palace, Xiao Ming meets the messenger of the king of Chu.
"Your Highness." The envoys of the king of Chu were respectful when they saw Xiao Ming.
This time, in addition to the envoy of the king of Chu, Li Wei was also there. Li Wei, who has been in charge of artillery trading in Qingzhou, also played a lot of roles in this alliance.
During this time, Li Wei has been playing the role of undercover with Xiao Ming's money in Chu. Unconsciously, he has cultivated a group of officials who are close to Qingzhou.
Thus, in any era, the charm of money is endless.
"Please sit down, Mr. Feige has already told the king of Chu what he means. After thinking deeply, the king thinks that the king of Chu has a good idea."
This time, the emissary sent by the king of Chu had a very high position in Chu. It was Chai Lingfei, the son-in-law of the king of Chu. It can be seen that the king of Chu attached great importance to this alliance.
When Xiao Ming came in, Chai Lingfei became nervous. The difference was that the king of Wei was fearless and ignorant. The king of Chu had seen the strength of the Dutch. After being beaten by the Dutch in the Qiantang naval battle, the king of Chu decided to focus on the development of firearms.
Because of this, the king of Chu was very worried about Xiao Ming's tearing up the original trade agreement because of his independence. This time, he rushed to ask for an alliance.
"Your Highness is wise. The king of Chu feels that it is very difficult for his highness to fight alone in the north. The emperor also has a feeling of brotherhood. If his highness is willing to make an alliance, they can learn from each other." Chai Lingfei was very excited.
After a pause, Chai Lingfei continued: "Your Highness, the emperor has said that if your highness agrees with this alliance, we are willing to continue to purchase 50000 muskets. This matter is also discussed by Li Weilai and his highness about the specific details."
"Fifty thousand muskets, Chu's land is rich. It's such a big hand." Xiao Ming said with a faint smile.
Now the steam engine drilling machine has replaced the hydraulic drilling machine, and the production speed of the torch has reached a new level. Moreover, the torch has a simple structure and is extremely easy to manufacture.
Thinking that the firerope gun is very easy to copy, he felt there was no need to refuse the deal, because Li San knocked out another piece of information from Yang Zhen, which made him very unhappy.
When Xiao Wenxuan was seriously ill, Wang Xi had found the forging technology to imitate the torch. Even though this forging technology was slow to produce the torch, the technology was imitated.
Instead of letting the king of Chu try to imitate it, he might as well sell the firerope gun, which can not only make money, but also make the king of Chu feel that there is no need to imitate it.
Chai Lingfei said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Ruyang and King Huainan seize the opportunity to invade the royal land, and King Zhao covets the land of Shu. For the sake of the native land of Chongqing, the emperor has no choice but to do so."
The smile on Xiao Ming's face became more and more intense. At first, Chai Lingfei was talking about the king of Chu. Later, he moved out the third prince.
Now the king of Zhao in Chang'an has set up an emperor, and the king of Chu in the South has set up an emperor. He, the real heir to the throne, has become the one they are trying to win over.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming felt more and more right that he didn't publish the imperial edict to the world. It's more important than a title to have his own right.
But even so, Xiao Ming would not submit to the third prince. He said, "in this case, I will do it."
Chai Lingfei felt relaxed. This time he came to Qingzhou to realize the purpose of his trip.
After adding some polite remarks, Xiao Ming called Fiji and Pang Yukun to formally sign a treaty with Chai Lingfei in Fuya. The treaty stipulated that the two parties would not infringe on each other, and that the trade between the two parties would not be affected.After drawing up the agreement, Xiao Ming officially signed it and sealed his seal, and Chai Lingfei also sealed the seal he had brought.
When the agreement was reached, Chai Lingfei said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, I hope your highness can give more support to firearms in the future. Of course, we will not let your highness suffer."
Among many vassal kings, the king of Chu had the deepest feeling about Xiao Ming's strength. Because of this, he put down his face and wanted to win over Xiao Ming.
Of course, this time the king of Chu also seized the right time. It was when he saw the current predicament of Qingzhou that he sent envoys in time. Sure enough, as the king of Chu expected, the treaty was successfully concluded.
Xiao Ming gives the covenant to Pang Yukun for him to keep. He sighs a little in his heart. The cruel reality really teaches him how to play with the strategy of making friends from afar and attacking at close range.
It's no wonder that the contemporary maozi army is so powerful that they have to ask the rabbit family for money. They are forced by money. No matter how many advanced weapons are not supported by money, they are just a pile of scrap metal.
When Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty expelled Xiongnu, he sent Zhang Qian to attack Xiongnu, and finally won the war.
"Since the covenant has been signed, the king will not violate it, and he hopes that the king of Chu can abide by it." Xiao Ming said with a faint smile that in this way, he basically completed the first step of long-distance and short-range attack, and he also had less constraints on the war of Wei.
After signing the agreement with the king of Chu, Xiao Ming suddenly had a bold idea, which was the same purpose as Zhang Qian's going to the frontier.
