Chapter 353 see you soon

Shi Yan thought very well, he really had no special ambition to be the emperor, he could do whatever he wanted.

More importantly, it feels like his father has finally found a state, which is the rhythm of being an emperor, and the attitude of being an emperor.

His father really wanted to do something for the people of the world. Now that his father has this heart, this opportunity, and this ability, he doesn’t want to waste time in vain.

Maybe things haven’t been pushed to him, he can still turn a blind eye and sweep the snow before his door. But today, his father has already started to do it, and he can’t stop.

Shi Yan is willing to help his father to fulfill his wish. For this reason, his father must always be in the position of emperor, and as a prince, in the future, he will not be able to have any conflict with his father because of the throne.

It’s a pity that this conversation ended soon, his father didn’t wait for him to finish his words, didn’t listen to his hype, he just told him in a very thoughtful tone: “Ayan, in this world, except for you, father Who else can you trust?

From my father’s heart, the things I am doing are too difficult, and the resistance I will encounter in the future will be a hundred times and a thousand times more difficult than I am now. Everything I do now is my father’s idea, what my father wants to do for this country and this world, and it may be said that my father is desperate.

Not yours.

You can have your own ideas without worrying about your father’s feelings.

It is true that Dad believes that one day, when Dad is gone, these things are handed over to you, and you can continue according to Dad’s ideas, even better than Dad.

But these are not your ideas, nor your original intentions.

Dad only wishes to do what he wants to do in his lifetime, and leave you with a good situation where you can achieve what you want. No one can restrain you, no one can threaten you, not even the family and the world.

When you sit on this throne, what you see is the prosperity of the world, the warmth of the four seasons, and you don’t have to work hard for too many things. ”

Of course, what the emperor didn’t say is that with him at the front, Shi Yan will always be the prince. If these things are successful, the prince’s credit will naturally be known to the world. carried by him alone.

Even now, the emperor at the front must be facing the greatest pressure, and the prince can be a lot easier when he hides behind him.

Shi Yan was moved by the love of his son, and the result that moved Shi Yan was that after a whole year of preparation, Shi Yan finally released the people from the Zhexian Clan from the dark guard camp.

This time, he will personally take these people to form his own army and go to war.

The target of the campaign: all the neighbors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty that Shi Yan is currently in is a big dynasty in the hinterland of the Central Plains. There are countless small countries around it. Some small people are sturdy and disobedient to discipline. Every year, they loot the people of the Zhou Dynasty at the border. The people live.

Some small countries are small, but their geographical locations are superior. The country itself has abundant natural resources. With almost no labor, countless grains can be produced in the mountains, and there has never been a famine.

Some countries are rich in mineral resources or rich in spice resources.

These small countries have a characteristic, that is, they hold the abundant resources needed by the Zhou Dynasty. By trading these resources with the Zhou Dynasty every year, they can make their country full from top to bottom.

Even because of the uniqueness of resources, they are always open to lions, and almost all the country is supported by the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Now, from the nobles to the common people in many surrounding countries, everyone knows that the people of the Zhou Dynasty are rich and generous. , The people of the Zhou Dynasty are very deceiving.

What they don’t want, they can pick two handfuls of them on the road, and the spices that pigs don’t eat can be exchanged for a small silver ingot from the Zhou Dynasty.

Before Shi Yan set off, he persuaded the emperor like this.

“Father, whether it’s your reform or the cultivation of the law, you need to have money as a foundation. We all know that this is an incalculable number, and this is one of the reasons why the courtiers are strongly opposed to it, because it can’t be reformed and can’t be repaired.

The silver taels earned by copying the entire martial arts are simply not enough in front of these reforms and revisions.

I have already read through the archives of transactions with Fanbang over the years, and it turns out that Fanbang is a vampire lying on my face to **** blood from the people.

And they raise the price year by year, we have no resistance. If this goes on, I will be dragged to death because of these scarce resources. ”

The emperor was also very worried about this matter: “It’s not that Dad doesn’t want to take care of these things, but there are priorities, let’s solve our internal worries first, and then find a way to eliminate external troubles.

During the period of the late emperor, someone proposed to start trade with the Fanbang country, and several groups of envoys were sent to discuss the matter. But those countries are not stupid, they know what is best for them.

Doing the only business in the whole world, the price is set by them, and they don’t want to have unnecessary transactions with us. ”

Shi Yan then said: “It’s not that we don’t want to pay for their country’s property resources, but that over the years, the prices have become more and more outrageous. If this continues, after all of our country’s tax revenue flows into Fanbang, apart from the accumulation of poverty Weak, the country is destroyed, is there any other ending?

Dad, all justice is beaten with fists, stained with blood, and stepped out with iron hoofs. There is no real justice in this world. Let my son try it. Weeks hit a fair trade opportunity.

My army is light and simple, and the number of people is not large. I have already prepared the supply of food and grass, and there is no need for the court to worry about it.

Even if it fails, it doesn’t matter in the overall situation, but if it succeeds, it is a major event that will benefit the present and the future. ”

Of course, what Shi Yan didn’t say is that the above is indeed the reason why he wants to fight, but the most important one is to transfer the main domestic contradiction.

With him jumping around the border, the courtiers’ attention would not be focused on his father’s reform and practice, and the pressure would be much less.

The emperor was very moved by his son’s heart, but he did not agree with his son’s statement: “It really doesn’t matter in the overall situation, but for you personally, a great reputation cannot be removed.”

Shi Yan said very freely: “Who is my son? The number one expert in the world!

Where did this name come from? They were killed in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and the people who died in the son of a swordsman could have as many as two mountains in a pile.

Even now, the big guys don’t say it on the face, is there no more murderous label?

What’s the difference between a great joy and a murder? ”

The emperor was speechless for a while. Although his son was very good in his heart, he couldn’t stop his son’s achievements.

But he was still worried: “This master of the rivers and lakes, and leading troops to fight are two different things, why don’t you think about it again?”

He has long thought about it, he doesn’t understand leading troops to fight, but isn’t this someone who understands?

“Isn’t General Wang, who was kicked by his son, suspended for a year? Go back and let him be suspended for another year, so I will borrow it first.”

What Shi Yan really wanted to do, the emperor couldn’t stop him.

So in a sunny and sunny morning, the ministers had long been ready to fight the emperor for 300 rounds, and they would carry on the fight to the end. Who would have guessed that as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he announced expressionlessly. a message.

The prince led his troops to the border to fight against the small country of Fanbang!

It’s been three days!

Specifically, which direction is north, south, east, and west? I don’t know!

Which country should you target first? I don’t know!

Which soldier was used? The Ministry of War said that there has been no soldier mobilization recently!

Where is the food mobilized and sent to? I don’t know!

Who is the general? Who is the vanguard? Who will coordinate? What is the marching route?

Totally don’t know!

The emperor only told them indifferently: “Take it as a secret rush march, you only need to know that there is such a thing, you can do what you should do now, let’s continue to discuss the prohibition of folk women’s foot binding mentioned yesterday. matter.

All women have their feet bound, and they need help even when standing. Do the fields in this world depend only on men? ”

The minister below thought: Your Majesty! Since when, do you still have the heart to care about other women’s feet binding?

This is burning ass!

Don’t we know how dangerous the surrounding states are to our dynasty?

Do not! We know it better than anyone!

But why don’t we fix it?

Of course because it can’t be solved!

Do you know why those Fanbangs can have no fear, and the lions open their mouths to do business with us?

It is because the terrain they are located in is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the desolate Gobi Desert, our army soldiers will get lost when they break into it, and they will die of thirst and starvation. What about fighting?

The forest is full of miasma. Our soldiers will get sick if they enter. Malaria alone is so contagious that it can kill an army.

There are also those countries on small islands that go to shore once every two months. In the vast sea, there is no experienced person to lead the way, let alone finding other people’s islands, I am afraid that it is common to get lost in the sea. How long does it take? Going to the sea in the moon, and resolutely not to go out for a few months, all have to be particular about it.

If you really feel that you are number one in the world, don’t you put people in the world in your eyes?

Besides, Your Highness, you waved your sleeves and took people away, leaving us to fight face-to-face with Your Majesty every day, and none of us can fight the mud in the middle. This degree must be re-mastered!

Also, Your Highness, you left without saying hello. We used our old noses to kill you before, and to separate your father and son, isn’t it all wasted effort? Did you say how long are you going to be away? So that we have a spectrum in our hearts!

The courtiers thought a lot in their hearts.

The emperor clearly felt that the courtiers had lost a bit of energy when they were fighting with him today, and the fighting power was collectively reduced.

It made him feel a little less tormented as an old father who was worried about his son, and even put forth 12 points of strength to fight against these old guys. This is an opportunity that my son finally won for himself. I’m sorry if I don’t grasp it. The son who eats the wind and drinks the sand outside, is sick and climbs the snow.

“Eat the wind and drink the sand, fall ill and climb the snow? Impossible.”

Wang Datou, General Wang, who was led by Shi Yan holding a loudspeaker all over the capital, was lying in the house specially prepared for the Prince of Yipin County in Yuelin Kingdom, enjoying the service of beautiful women.

When he was comfortable, he just wanted to sigh, thinking that after so many years of fighting, I really only had this time, and it was the most unique and insightful! I thought that when I came, I would be able to show off my skills and let the crown prince know what we were capable of. After returning to Beijing, it would be just around the corner.

Who would have thought? !

Who would have thought that our people disguised themselves as businessmen who traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, ate the medicine prepared by His Highness in advance, and brought the medicine bag, and actually successfully passed through this vast no-man’s land and arrived at the capital of Yuelin Kingdom.

As the steward of the caravan, His Royal Highness, because of the tribute, was valued by the king and was summoned by the king.

Later, I don’t know what His Highness said to the king. I heard that it was to give the king a special spice, and then the king’s insomnia was cured.

Then, His Royal Highness the dignified Zhou Dynasty Crown Prince became the first-grade county king of the Yuelin Kingdom, and was entitled to enter the palace to meet the king every day.

Recently, these people have been lying in His Highness’s county palace during the day, drunk and dreaming, looking like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. At night, they are all night owls, incarnated as loyal servants who are loyal and optimistic about a certain prince, and who are dedicated to the prince, tell them:

“Our county king has extraordinary medical skills. Recently, he served the king’s side and found out that the king’s life is not long! The king’s heart is biased towards you, and he thinks that only you can lead our Yuelin Kingdom. Prince, you should have made plans earlier! ”

As for whether it is really not long, according to His Highness, yes.

Whether it’s true or not, the **** knows! Anyway, His Royal Highness said that it will be soon, and it will be a long time to make it appear that the prince and princess can see the evidence.

Wang Datou sighed in his heart: “After living for a long time, I can see everything in the mother’s way!”

Thinking like this, Shi Yan, the king of the county, was carried home in a sedan chair by eight people. Shi Shiran passed by Wang Datou and gave him a vague look. Wang Datou was shocked, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued. Enjoy the service of the maid.

So that night, there was a splendid forced palace drama in the Yuelin Kingdom’s palace. All the eight sons and five daughters of the king were dispatched to fight in the palace in a dark and chaotic manner.

In the end, the ninth who appeared out of nowhere, the son of the first queen, who had grown up long ago, took advantage of it, and used iron and blood to clean up a bunch of brothers and sisters, and successfully ascended the throne.

When the throne was not stable, the first thing he did was to send his father’s “favorite minister” Shiyan County King to the Great Zhou Dynasty to discuss trade matters with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When the court received the news that Yuelin Kingdom, represented by Shiyan County King, came to discuss trade matters, all the courtiers’ mouths were open enough to stuff two salted duck eggs.

After asking “Shiyan County King” to take the envoy of Yuelin to the post house to rest, there was a complete quarrel in the courtroom.

“First entering the hinterland of Yuelin is a life-threatening problem. Without the pills made by the people of Yuelin, it was difficult for us to enter the core area and we would die. I wonder how Your Highness did it?”

“Secondly, as a foreigner, how to win the trust of King Yuelin is another problem. I wonder how His Highness did it?”

“Again, King Yuelin is in good health. It’s too difficult to provoke his children to fight. I wonder how His Highness did it?”

A group of courtiers surrounded the messenger sent by Shi Yan, each one asked a question, and the heads of the people who asked were big.

Credible messengers know very little! Wang Datou only knew about some things, but only Shi Yan and his cronie Hang Yunsan knew the details. He could only say what he knew and what Shi Yan told everyone.

“His Royal Highness said that his current identity is the first-grade county king of Yuelin Kingdom, representing the interests of Yuelin Kingdom and negotiating with the Great Zhou Dynasty about the opening of commerce. The bottom line of Yuelin Kingdom is this… If we exceed this bottom line, we will… It is acceptable to fluctuate in the number…you have to figure it out!”

Yuelinguo: Are you a spy sent by the enemy?

Great Zhou Dynasty: Well done!

It was clear to everyone that the Prince Yan of the Yuelin Kingdom who appeared in front of them was no longer their Highness. As for where is their Highness now?

He was in Mogan Kingdom, a sandy country away from Yuelin Kingdom.

This time, they were merchants from the Yuelin Kingdom, and they came to sell the unique spices of the Yuelin Kingdom.

The spices of Yuelin Country are famous far and near, and they are very rare. It has always been the countries next to them that take the initiative to do business with their family. How can you take the initiative to sell spices?

Shi Yan explained it to people like this: “Three months ago, there was internal turmoil in our country, staged a drama of fourteen kings forcing the palace, and finally the third prince born to the first queen came to the throne, vigorously suppressing other brothers and sisters.

Our master is the sixth prince from the second queen, and the third prince hates the most.

Those who were suppressed in the country had almost no room for survival, the environment was difficult, and it was impossible to move an inch, so my master ordered me and other loyal servants to privately bring domestic spices to seek foreign aid. If the king can help him regain the throne of the king, he is willing to use Yuelin Half the country’s spices in exchange! ”

Shi Yan also took out the identity certificate that he had asked for when he rebelled against the Sixth Prince, and took out the household registration document given to him by the king at that time, which proved his identity and was thoroughly recognized by the king.

The king was very moved after hearing this, but he also knew that Moganguo and Yuelinguo were thousands of miles apart. It was obviously not a wise move to send troops to help the sixth prince at this time, but he didn’t want to give up those spices.

So he said to Shi Yan: “I, Mo Qianguo Erlang, are all brave and strong, with one enemy a hundred, and put them outside. I don’t have the temperament of being under the personal command of this great king and not accepting anyone, and others may not be able to instruct them to move them.

But as the great king, I naturally cannot lead troops to help your sixth princes quell the rebellion.

Otherwise, this is the case. The sharpest combat weapons produced in our country can provide you with 3,000 pairs. This king does not want much. After this is done, I will ask for a quarter of the spices in your Yuelin Kingdom. ”

Shi Yan’s face was full of grief, indignation, and pain. He was greatly humiliated, and could not wait to fight with the king of Mogan Kingdom.

Finally, under the persuasion of the loyal servants of the six princes of the forest country behind him, he gritted his teeth and negotiated conditions with the king of the Mogan country: “Three thousand pairs are too few, at least six thousand pairs!”

The king only hesitated before agreeing.

In the end, Shi Yan signed the unequal treaty with trembling hands.

After signing the contract, looking like I’m sorry for the Sixth Prince, I’m sorry for Yuelin, “I am a sinner of Yuelin”, I can’t wait to apologize to my death, and rush back to Yuelin with 6,000 pairs of the sharpest and most advanced weapons at the moment. Country, went to help their beloved Sixth Prince.

After leaving the borders of Mogan Kingdom, Shi Yan asked all his brothers to put on the armors of “enduring humiliation and bearing the burden” and “forfeiting power and humiliating the country”, facing the map in his hand, and saying to Hang Yunsan and Wang Datou.

“Let’s follow the previous plan, Wang Datou, you bring 3,000 men and horses to put on recruits and go to the east of Mo Yuguo for help, saying that Moganguo was ambushed by the envoys of Yuelinguo, and let Moyuguo defenders let you in. Make it clear.

Haven’t checked the Moganguo dialect that you practiced before? The relationship between the two countries is good, there is no entanglement of interests, and they have always been defenseless against each other. It should not be difficult to enter the city.

Bring along the household registration documents that you specially found to prove that Wang Datou and your generals are likely to be able to enter, and it is not a big problem whether the people next door can enter, as long as Mo Yuguo believes that you are people from Moganguo next door.

Remember, we are short on time, and we have to make a time difference before Mo Ganguo finds out the problem, and this move can’t go wrong. ”

Then he turned his head and said to Hang Yun who was eager to try: “Wait for Wang Datou to go in for an hour, then you will bring the remaining three thousand people to wear Mogan’s army armor, and cooperate with him to perform a show of cooperation between the inside and the outside.

If there is a chance to fight both inside and outside, if not, just act according to the opportunity, and make Mo Yuguo believe that Mo Ganguo has murderous intentions towards them. ”

Wang Datou and Hang Yunsan nodded solemnly.

Moganguo’s fine iron forging technology and Mo Yuguo’s charcoal are all important strategic materials, all of which are scarce in Dazhou. Dazhou wants to develop, and it is impossible to lack these.

Shi Yan’s move is to muddy the water, but the ultimate goal is to trade. Between countries, soldiers never tire of deceit, that’s how it is, and it’s quite boring to say it thoroughly.

Things went very smoothly at the beginning. Wang Datou successfully entered Mo Yuguo’s territory. Then, when he was cooperating with Hang Yun, he had an accident. Because he could not understand a common saying of Mo Yuguo of other generals, he was discovered by others. As a clue, the last few people fled the city in embarrassment with the help of Hang Yunsan.

After escaping from the city, 6,000 soldiers dressed in the armor of the Mogan State joined together and fought a guerrilla war with the pursuers on the Gobi Desert.

The slipping posture is very skilled, it can be seen that he is used to it.

At night, a group of people were grilling meat on a fire in the Gobi Desert, Hang Yunsan patted his thighs and excitedly said to Shi Yan: “Dad, Mo Yuguo and Mo Ganguo have fought, and now Mo Ganguo may have discovered our clues. .

Do you think he will fight with Yuelin Guo? ”

Shi Yan didn’t speak, and looked at Wang Datou on the other side.

General Wang fiercely took a bite of the roast lamb shank, a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat, and shook his head happily: “Mo Ganguo will not let himself be attacked by the enemy, he will only hold his breath temporarily and wait for the settlement after the event, this matter… tsk, It’s fun to watch!”

Shi Yan reminded them: “Hide your tail and don’t set yourself on fire.”

The fire is indeed the fire, but it is not himself that is burned.

When the weather enters the twelfth lunar month, the coldest season of the year comes, and Mo Yuguo and Moganguo in the north are on guard against each other and do not trust each other. The decades-long good neighbor relationship has a huge crack. There were several fights, each with a winner and a loser.

Looking for foreign aid.

The two sides collectively set their sights on the Great Zhou Dynasty with a large population, abundant food and gold and silver.

Both sides thought about each other: What advantage do I have to make Da Zhou turn towards me and hostile to each other?

In the end, Mo Ganguo came to a conclusion: Fine iron forging!

Mo Yuguo came to the conclusion: the best carboniferous!

Two countries: trade! trading!

After the emperor and ministers in the capital received the envoys from the front and back of the two countries asking for trade again: “!!”
