Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
"Your Majesty, the Tanghe people's envoy has been waiting outside the palace for a long time." The attendant quietly approached from behind, whispering to remind His Majesty the emperor who seemed to be intoxicated by the rain and fog outside the railing. It seems a little inappropriate to choose this time to appreciate the rainy scene in Lensk. The autumnal scene in the garden should be more beautiful when the autumn is clear and clear. The current rainy and foggy appearance does not seem to be worthy of His Majesty's fascination.
"I see, is the Prime Minister here yet?" Without turning his head, Philip V asked calmly.
"Return to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived and is now talking with the Tanghe people's special envoy." The attendant shrank his head and replied cautiously.
"Well, in this case, you go and inform the prime minister, and invite him to come here after his conversation is over. The special envoy of the Tanghe people asked him to go back to the post house first, saying that I am not feeling well today, and I will not see any visitors for the time being." Philip V pondered his words, "Please invite him into the palace tomorrow morning, and I will formally meet him tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The attendants quietly withdrew, leaving Philip V alone in the colonnade.
If one wrong step is made, it may lead to a big mistake. Philip V didn't care about being cautious. This is the second wave of Situ Tai's envoys. He urged troops to be dispatched and countless good promises. This is what these envoys brought. There was nothing new about it, and there was a wry smile on the corner of Philip Wuju's mouth.
Walking back to the stone table of the colonnade, surrounded by exquisite and beautiful small shrubs, lush and green, without feeling chilled by the approach of autumn, there is already a hint of coolness on the stone drum, but Philip V feels I felt a little stuffy in my heart.
It was not easy to get a chance to rest and recuperate. Seeing that the economic consolidation of the empire has obviously had some effect, it has surpassed this year. The economic momentum of the Empire will definitely be better next year. Business exchanges with Western Xinjiang have increased significantly, and livestock products on the Tengger Grassland are also pouring in. Domestic mining, iron smelting and other industries have begun to increase on a large scale. The demand for products is far beyond imagination. Now that there is a competitor in Xijiang, according to Pokaninski, there is no need to restrict the export of iron products to the Tengger Grassland. In turn, this can also greatly promote The development of these basic industries of the empire.
Finally, the food crisis has been overcome. Although this season's food production has not yet returned to normal. But compared to the season at the beginning of the year, it is much stronger, and it is even more different than last year's difficult season. As long as the current situation continues and agriculture, industry, and commerce advance hand in hand, it will not be far away for the empire to return to its former glory.
But, however, however, all these good ideas were disrupted by Li Wufeng's crazy offensive in the Tanghe Empire. The empire signed a peace treaty. And provided the empire with a large amount of cheap food to help the empire stabilize food prices, and the empire should even support any actions of the western Xinjiang side, as long as they do not harm the interests of the empire. But now the actions of the people in Xijiang seem to have nothing to do with the empire and the countries of Liberia. The Puer people and the Doton people were asking for trouble when they got involved in the civil war of the Tanghe Empire. The western border did not directly endanger their interests, but is this matter really that simple?
The words of special envoy Situ Tai cannot be said to be unreasonable. A Tanghe Empire with great ambitions and crazy expansion goals is a disaster for the Tanghe people and all the nations and countries in the entire Eastern Continent, and Li Wufeng's aggressive military seems to be heading towards This goal is advancing, and a large empire with a larger territory and more population than the previous Tanghe Empire is quietly forming. In name, although Li Wufeng is only a prince of the Tanghe Empire, and his jurisdiction is nothing more than a local vassal in the name of the Western Border Protectorate, but in fact Li Wufeng's control area has spread to more than half of the Tanghe Empire, and it also includes a large area of the original Tanghe Empire. An area that the forces of the Tanghe Empire have never set foot in. Such as the middle mainland and the southern peninsula.
But can the intervention of the empire change the current situation? Philip V was skeptical about this. What's more, if Li Wufeng truly unified the Tanghe Empire, he would have to spend a longer time digesting the results he had gained in a short period of time, three years, five years, ten years. Even longer, it is easy to establish a new dynasty, but it is not so simple to stabilize the rule of this huge empire. After ten or twenty years, does Li Wufeng still have that ambition? What's more, the Machi Khans in the south are still constantly challenging his authority. All this seems to buy the empire more time to prepare for development. Philip V believes that what the Liberians should do now is not to challenge Li Wufeng's authority , but should actively make friends with Li Wufeng and gain more time to develop and grow himself. When Li Wufeng really wants to be an enemy of all Liberians, then it is not too late to fight again.
"Your Majesty." The humble voice of his prime minister and friend came from behind.
"Sit down, have you sent away the special envoy of the Tanghe people?" Philip V waved his hand to signal his close friend to sit down.
"Well, Situ Tai is putting all his eggs in one basket. The Kamanians rejected their invitation to send troops. His only hope now probably rests on us." Pokaninski has never been very interested in military affairs. This also led to the formation of a strange pattern in the government affairs of the Sithrow Empire, that is, His Majesty the Emperor personally took care of most of the military affairs, while the government affairs were under the overall control of the Prime Minister, and the two cooperated very tacitly.
"Then do you think we should send troops?" Philip V asked back.
"Hehe, Your Majesty has already made a decision, so why bother to ask the minister? Besides, didn't the minister and His Majesty already agree that the minister will not ask about military affairs?" Pokaninski said with a faint smile.
"Hmph, old slicker, how can we distinguish between military affairs and politics? Without financial support, even if I want to fight, I can't do it." Philip V also laughed, "It's because the Kamanians refused to send troops. As expected, they are still fiddling with the injustice of their own domestic affairs, so they don't have the mood to toss other things. Now their domestic southern aristocrats and northern aristocrats are fighting fiercely in the court. It is impossible to form a unified opinion Alas, it is a pity that the era of Gomez is over, and the glory days of the Kaman people will also become history.”
"If Your Majesty is determined to fight a war, I will try my best to raise military expenses for Your Majesty. Is it necessary?" Although he said that he was not asking about military affairs, Pokaninski's attitude against sending troops was fully exposed in his words.
"Hmph, you can't ask about military affairs, aren't you showing your attitude in disguise?" Although Philip V said so, there was no trace of blame in his tone, and there was even a sense of encouragement, " Xijiang's garrison in the south of us is indeed quite weak. If we send troops at this time, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for Li Wufeng, but I think Li Wufeng is not a fool. Isn't that Li Wufeng's instigation? Using this method to divert our attention is not clever, but it is very useful."
"It seems that Your Majesty has already made up his mind, and I am too worried." Pokaninski nodded with a smile, "It may be necessary to teach the Sykes a lesson, these guys are always a disaster, Li Wufeng We have never cut off our support for them, but since we have made it clear in the agreement not to interfere in each other's internal affairs, it seems that we don't need to inform anyone in advance of our military operations in our own country."
"Hehe, you still know my heart. The Sykes tribe is not only a scourge, but also a scourge that needs to be dealt with earlier. Although these guys can't compare with the Dole tribe in the territory of the Kamans, if given There is too much room for them to grow, it is hard to say what they will develop into. I think that now when Li Wufeng is powerless to intervene, we will concentrate on sweeping and eradicating them. Even if we can't achieve the goal of cutting grass and roots, at least these guys can't recover their vitality within a few years. Lest these guys jump out and make trouble when we are focused on developing the economy." Philip V had indeed already made a decision, and his prime minister's attitude undoubtedly supported his idea, "By the way, although the scale of this battle is not It will be huge, but you have to prepare well in terms of military expenses, I am going to send several corps to the battle, it is both a war and a training~IndoMTL.com~ Well, don’t worry, Your Majesty, the military ministers will guarantee this." Bo Kaninski was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Well, to be honest, the words of Special Envoy Situ Tai really moved me at the time. Li Wufeng's rising momentum is too fierce. Maybe he will really become the public enemy of our empire and even the entire Liberian people in the future, but It is really difficult for the empire to get involved now. Although we can cause Li Wufeng a temporary difficulty if we join in now, it can't really change the overall situation. It can no longer be stopped, and Situ Tai's strength in the south of the Tanghe Empire is too weak, and that Situ Biao is not worth mentioning. In this case, our joining will not only make Li Wufeng think that our Heathrow Empire is his big There is no benefit for the enemy to target us first." A wry smile crossed Philip V's face, "I really want to contain Li Wufeng, but the situation is not right, I have to consider the interests of the empire first."
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful, and I admire you deeply. It is not the best time for us to intervene. We still need some time to develop. I hope Li Wufeng can give us some time, and give the Liberians some time. I also plan to do it as soon as possible. Visit the countries of Liberia to exchange views on this aspect, and hope that they can accept our suggestions, preserve their strength, and avoid unnecessary sacrifices." Pokaninski also had a look of regret on his face. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Part 2, Swallow Thousands of Miles, Chapter 6, Conquering Hegemony, Section 89, Wise Men (1)
