September, Great Zhou, Great Qing, and Jurchen Khanate, which have just formed an alliance, have finally taken action.
According to Information from Shanhai Guard's Capital office, recently, there was Great Zhou business team arrive Capital. It was clear that for ordinary trade, it was secretly shipping Weapons and Equipment for Qing Dynasty.
A large number of armor and weapons were disguised as ordinary goods and smuggled back to Great Zhou.
When I got the news, Ouyang Shuo immediately sniffed out the unusual one. "With the powerful military works strength of Great Zhou, do you still need to buy Weapons and Equipment from Qing Dynasty? This simply doesn't make sense."
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
The subsequent Information from Shanhai Guard confirms the Ouyang Shuo's inference.
It turned out that these batches of Weapons and Equipment were not shipped to Handan City at all, but instead went south and were directly shipped to Sea Ferry Port. They were escorted by Handan Fleet in person and disappeared into the vast sea.
At this step, Ouyang Shuo basically figured out the enemy's intentions.
"Can the curve save the country?"
If Ouyang Shuo's expectations are good, this batch of Weapons and Equipment from Qing Dynasty should be given to Jurchen Khanate, and Great Zhou just plays an intermediate carrier in it.
You know, the Jurchen Khanate also has a harbor, and it ’s true that you do n’t even know it.
seize Goryeo (Korea), after its merge into Northern Border Province, the range of activity of Great Xia Coastal Fleet is no longer limited to Bo Sea, Yellow Sea and Dongying Sea are also the range of Coastal Fleet.
Based on the two counties of Goryeo (Korea), Coastal Fleet can already compete with the Great Zhou Handan Fleet Chamber.
Nevertheless, in order to maintain the Pacific Ocean maritime trade channel shared by Great Xia, Great Zhou and Great Jin, and ensure the common interests of the three parties, Great Xia seaside Fleet did not announce its existence too strongly.
The entire sea domain is relatively neutral.
Now it seems that Di Chen is some get an inch, want a foot, and it has used loose air routes to engage in smuggling for its allies, and directly encountered the core interests of Great Xia.
"It's time to teach Great Zhou!"
Handan Fleet If you want to ship Weapons and Equipment to Jurchen Khanate seas and oceans, you must cross the Goryeo (Korea) Strait. Currently, the strait is jointly taken over by Great Xia and Great Zhou.
Great Zhou has a right to speak on the passage of the Goryeo (Korea) Channel because it occupies Island of Kyushu.
After Handan Fleet enters Dongying Sea, you can only follow the mercy of Great Xia. Great Xia, occupying Goryeo (Korea) counties and Yingzhou County, has absolute control over Dongying Sea.
Ouyang Shuo immediately ordered Coastal Fleet and Pacific Fleet to conduct joint searches on Dongying Sea under the name of a joint exercise to conduct a routine search of passing ships to ensure the safety of the exercise.
The real intention is to deduct the merchant ship of Great Zhou and Weapons and Equipment. As long as the key evidence of Great Zhou involvement in the Great Xia war is obtained, Ouyang Shuo will have its own consideration at that time.
…………
Great Xia Army has always been extremely popular.
With the order of Ouyang Shuo, Great Xia navy immediately acted.
Coastal Fleet third, fourth, and Fifth Fleet, combined with Pacific Fleet second, third, and fourth Fleet, simultaneously is active in Dongying Sea, weaving a heavenly net, and waiting for Handan Fleet to hook.
A sudden collision is coming soon.
Look now, in the face of this situation, has Di Chen been mentally prepared?
…………
Handan City, Royal Palace.
After ascending the throne, Di Chen will build Royal Palace as Fuli Majestic. Unlike Ouyang Shuo, as a child of Aristocratic Family, Di Chen had feudal poison in its blood, and once had Emperor-King dreams.
The last name of Emperor is evident.
In Imperial Study, Juedai fenghua, who has been promoted to Great Zhou High Court Pavilion Great In-Charge Wielder, frowned slightly, worried, and said, "I always feel that this is a bit reckless."
Di Chen is wearing a purple Dragon King robe with a good look. "What is reckless? Funding Jurchen Khanate to restrain the expansion of Great Xia in the Northland, isn't it a strategy we have set for a long time?"
"That's right. But Dongying Sea is Great Xia's construction site. Handan Fleet broke into it with such carelessness, you are not afraid to cause misunderstanding of Great Xia?"
Speaking of which, Di Chen is angry.
A War of Dongying hit, Great Zhou lost morale, not to mention, he survived a meal, only got two small island, the largest piece of fat was swallowed into the stomach by Great Xia.
What makes Di Chen more uncomfortable is that as Great Xia Coastal Fleet stepped out of Bo Sea, the sea domain's sea control right came to be re-divided once, making Handan Fleet, which had previously enjoyed this film sea domain, very uncomfortable.
Di Chen escorted by arranged Handan Fleet this time, it might not mean to compete with Ouyang Shuo.
"What about breaking in? Old Fox is dead face, does he dare to take the initiative to provoke internal strife and take the initiative to fight with us?" Di Chen's expression was full of drama.
I have to say that Di Chen really caught Ouyang Shuo's's mind this time.
It is precisely because of this that Di Chen has no fear and dares to challenge Great Xia without any trace. "As long as we don't actively provoke internal strife, then Great Zhou is safe." Di Chen judged so.
Xiong Ba and others agree on this point.
Although they agreed, they didn't feel like it. "When did Great Zhou's safety depend on Great Xia's charity? It's ironic."
Although ironic, this bitter fruit must be swallowed.
The newly established Great Zhou not only has limited external expansion space, but also has hidden dangers inside. Marquis of Wu Xiong Ba, Marquis of Qi War Wolf and Marquis of Chu Lord Chunshen, the three of them converged, leaving them alone for now.
With the end of military campaign, Great Zhou also has Great Song of Xiangyang and Great Ming of Jianye, and two King Dynastys are trading. Both Song and Ming were stronger than Shu Han and Great Sui in Great Xia, which caused headaches for Di Chen and others.
If Great Zhou did not take the initiative to show Great Qing, I am afraid the situation will be more difficult.
Finally, the poor performance of Great Zhou in War of Dongying finally brought bitter results. In the recent period of time, the loss of talented people has occurred in Great Zhou. Although the amount is not large, it is also enough to cause Di Chen to be vigilant.
This shows that Huaxia player(s)'s trust in Great Zhou is gradually disintegrating.
"talented people outflow, but a call for the decline of King Dynasty." In order to stabilize the situation, Di Chen had to increase support for talented people in the country and give more preferential living policies.
This is another big expense.
After the end of War of Dongying, Great Xia and Great Jin strongly intervened in the Pacific Ocean waterway, which has already affected the foreign trade of Great Zhou and the profits have shrunk. At this time, increasing expenditures is tantamount to pouring fuel on the fire.
Under such a circumstance, Di Chen withstood the pressure and made a strategic decision of Lianjin to resist Xia, with a view to eliminating Great Xia Northern Border Province and giving Great Zhou a wider Strategic Space.
Think about it. Once Great Zhou includes Great Xia Northern Border Province, it will open the sea and the sky. At this moment, someone suddenly reported outside the door: "beginning report Your Kingship, Handan Fleet urgent dispatch!"
Di Chen within heart fluttered, and immediately had a bad feeling.
