God-level Great Hunjun System

"You said."

Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Fleet is powerful, but now that we have newly recruited the Qiongyi Second Dao, we must disperse our troops to garrison. In this way, the strength of the Nanyang Fleet can only be enough to defend the South China Sea. If your majesty The territorial requirements are limited to this, but it doesn’t matter, but if His Majesty wants to make progress..."

Yan Hao pointed to Jiang Ziya and said, "Grandpa, don't you know what I'm thinking? What I want to achieve is a great cause that lasts forever, so how can I stand still!"

Jiang Taigong nodded: "Since this is the case, where is your Majesty's future direction?"

Yan Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you grandpa, you still have to test me! Okay, then I will analyze it."

Yan Hao stood up from the dragon chair, took two steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "The direction of Wei's progress is different from east to west, north to south."

"Among them, going north is the first option to rule out. Because of the strength of the Golden Horde in the north, and the distance from the Central Plains, if you want to develop with them, the military expenditure and manpower consumption alone are incalculable. Yes. And we have to pay a heavy price if we want to win the battle!"

"What's more, the bitter cold land in the north is not as rich as the Central Plains. The imperial court is too busy to develop the four Lingbei roads. What's the use of the land further north?! Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to conquer the Golden Horde Khanate."

"As for the west, it's worth talking about. The Tubo in the west has always been at odds with our Great Wei, and it was my Great Wei who stepped on a fence in the west. It's okay that we didn't take the Western Regions before, but now we have pacified the Western Regions and established Anxi Dao just happened to surround Tubo's territory from both sides. Tubo can harass our border both north and east."

"It can be said that Tubo is a thorn in my side, a thorn in my flesh! Therefore, if we can take Tubo, it will be of great significance from the perspective of national defense, security and strategy!"

"After talking about the west, let's talk about the east. In the east are Koguryo and Dongying. Dongying is strong and Goryeo is weak. The civilization of the two countries is similar to that of the Central Plains dynasty and has a large population. If they can be included in the territory, it will be a great benefit to our strength. Good addition."

"What's more, Dongying's wolfish ambitions have often harassed Yan Hao in the southeast of our country since ancient times. If Dongying is put down, it will be a great thing for our country's coastal defense."

"Finally, let's talk about the south. The special thing about the south is that we have two directions to choose from. If we choose to attack from the sea, the opponent will be the three kingdoms of Sri, Kartu, and Java. If we attack from the land, we will The first opponent to bear the brunt is the South Vietnamese country."

"Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. If Wei can conquer the three countries of Nanyang from the sea, it will be equivalent to controlling the entire Nanyang in his hands, and will further control the sea of ​​the entire Mengyuan Continent forever. It will also greatly benefit the development of trade with Western countries in Lanyu Continent. .”

"But the difficulty lies in the fact that the three Nanyang countries have been operating the South China Sea for a long time. Although there are internal disputes, once they encounter external forces coveting, they will always be united and form a monolithic one, making it difficult to start."

"On the other hand, if we can conquer the Nanyue Kingdom, it will be tantamount to solving the problem of periodic harassment from the Nanyue Kingdom, and we can open the passage to the central and western parts of Mengyuanzhou from the south."

After Yan Hao's methodical analysis, Jiang Ziya nodded slightly.After these years of tempering, Yan Hao has changed from the stunned young man back then to a resolute and thoughtful emperor today, who judges the situation sharply and has far-reaching strategies.

Chapter 491 Eastward Strategy

"Then, Your Majesty, since the east, west and south have their own advantages and disadvantages, how do you make a choice?" Jiang Ziya asked.

"Grandfather, I have already said so much, please take care of it next!" Yan Hao said slyly.

Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, as if he had expected Yan Hao's words, he said: "The strategic planning of a country should not only consider the gains and losses of a moment and a place, but also consider the overall situation."

"Looking at the overall situation, taking Tubo means that the last buffer zone between our Great Wei Treaty and the Saracen Empire has disappeared. The western border of our Great Wei and the Saracen Empire will be completely separated from the Saracen Empire. coincide."

"Although we have already signed the Zenaz Treaty with Saracens, the reason why the Arabs are willing to negotiate peace with us is simply because they are attacked by Persia and Tubo, and they have no intention of provoking Wei. But once Tubo is destroyed, we are quite If Yu takes their place, it will naturally arouse the hostility of Saracen, and then the peace between the two countries will no longer be guaranteed."

"In this way, if Tubo is destroyed, but you have to deal with the stronger Saracens Empire, isn't it picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons? Therefore, I think that the way to go west is not advisable."

Jiang Ziya was really old, and after speaking this passage, he had to pause to clear his throat, Yan Hao hurriedly asked someone to give Jiang Ziya a table and tea.Only Jiang Taigong, who is the head of the military department and the Duke of the county, is entitled to such treatment.

Jiang Ziya took a sip of tea and continued:

"Similarly, if South Vietnam is destroyed, we can certainly avoid a major disaster in the south, but we will directly face the Maurya Dynasty, which is many times stronger than South Vietnam. Our country is now powerful, so naturally we are not afraid of coming from any country. However, as the saying goes, accumulating food widely, building walls high, becoming king slowly, and making too many enemies is not conducive to the development of the country."

In fact, Yan Hao already understood most of Jiang Ziya's meaning by the time he said it.

"Then according to the Taigong, conquering Korea and Dongying eastward is our best choice at present?"

Jiang Taigong said: "Your Majesty, I think this is not only the best solution, but also a necessary decision."

"Oh? What's the meaning of this?"

Jiang Taigong stroked his beard and smiled: "On the issue of Dongying, Xue Liren, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, has studied it deeply. He and my ministers have already discussed it. Your Majesty is extraordinary after listening to his opinion."

"Xue Lijian, then tell me."

Hearing this, Xue Liren hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty, Shogo Numata, the shogunate of Dongying Kingdom, has unified the whole island. !"

Chen Lei also came out and said: "Your Majesty, Dongying Kingdom has been divided into pieces since ancient times. Numata Shogo was able to unify the entire island by himself. It is rumored that all the warriors under him disregarded life and death, and fought bravely like loyal dogs. According to the information collected so far, Dongying Kingdom We are already eyeing Koryo, if we don’t react in time, when Japan takes Koryo, its strength will increase greatly, and then we will be feeding tigers!”

After hearing what Xue Liyan and Chen Lei said, Yan Hao realized that the situation in the East China Sea was more severe than he had imagined, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Jiang Ziya added: "What the two adults said is very true. In the background of the rise of Dongying Kingdom, if we ignore the situation in the east and attack other directions, once Dongying Kingdom stabs us in the back, Wei will be attacked by the enemy. would be in a very disadvantageous position.”

"However, if we attacked Dongying first, the situation would be very different. Dongying and Koryo are the only two countries to the east of our great Wei Dynasty. The two countries go east to the vast and endless ocean. If we can annex these two countries, The territory in the eastern part of our Great Wei will remain peaceful forever, isn't this the safest way?"

"After conquering Dongpu, no matter which direction we go in the future, we will have no worries. In this way, Your Majesty's hegemony can be achieved!" Jiang Ziya said.

Chapter 492

After some discussions among the courtiers, Wei's next eastward strategy was basically established, but the specific action plan still needs to be further discussed.

Xue Lijian said: "Your Majesty, the Goryeo Kingdom has always been respectful to our Great Wei and worshiped it every year. If we forcibly captured it by force, our behavior would be a bit too domineering. In the future, I am afraid that other countries will be cut off from belonging to our Great Wei." thoughts."

"However, if we do not take Koryo, we will not be able to capture Japan and control the East China Sea conveniently. Therefore, it is necessary to include Koryo in our territory. This will put us in a dilemma."

Xue Liren's words made Yan Hao sink into deep thought. This young minister of Honglu Temple is indeed a person who has been engaged in diplomatic work for a long time, and he can see the crux of the problem at a glance.Although it is said that the national competition is the law of the jungle and the priority of interests, there is not much justice and moral judgment.But when someone treats you well as your little brother, but you occupy his land, this matter will always have an impact on the country's reputation.

If it gets out, relatively weak forces will no longer dare to attach themselves to Wei, for fear of being swallowed by this giant.If they dare not attach themselves to Great Wei, they will inevitably attach themselves to other powerful countries at the same level as Great Wei. If one goes up and down, the interests of Great Wei will be seriously damaged.

So Yan Hao asked: "What's your opinion on this, dear friends?"

All the officials were silent.

"Meng Aiqing, what do you think?" Yan Hao saw that everyone did not have a good strategy, so he had to ask his most important think tank for help.

Wang Meng stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult at all. We only need to secretly send a few soldiers into the territory of Goryeo, disguised as Goryeo soldiers, raid the garrison premises on the border, and leave 'physical evidence' on purpose. After that, we can do this." Attacking Goryeo aggressively for the sake of pretext, so that they will be unable to argue, and our side is understandable for self-defense."

All the officials agreed with Wang Meng's opinion, and most of them thought it was a very efficient way to enter the game.

Only Yan Hao shook his head slightly, not saying that Wang Meng's strategy was not good, Wang Meng's strategy was very practical and vicious.In history, the Liutiao Lake Incident that was brazenly launched by a certain country when it deliberately invaded China, isn't there a similar story but the same effect?But this kind of method is used too much, after all, it has a bit of insidious meaning, and it lacks some upright and kingly ways.

Yan Hao said: "We will discuss the matter of the annexation of Korea on what pretext. Now let's talk about the military plan."

"The Nanyang Navy uses its own strength to control and balance the entire South China Sea, and its military strength is already stretched. Therefore, I announce that the Dongyang Navy will be established immediately, with Ryukyu County as the garrison base, deployed to control the East China Sea, and lay the groundwork for the future capture of Dongying."

"After the establishment of the Dongyang Navy, Li Peizhen, the former deputy admiral of the Nanyang Navy, was promoted to the admiral of the Dongyang Navy. The organization of the Dongyang Navy was the same as that of the Nanyang Navy. There were 25 big-wing treasure ships, 200 tiger ships, 300 eagle ships, and 20 sailors. 200 elephant ships."

With one stroke of Yan Hao's pen, he will create a navy of the same size as the Nanyang Navy!

Lin Song said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, we have just established a large-scale Nanyang Navy and conquered Qiongyi and Yizhou. If we establish an Dongyang Navy again, will the burden on the treasury be too heavy?"

Yan Hao said: "The national treasury is under pressure. I am aware of this. Whether it is the migration and development plans of Lingbei and Kanto, or military expenditures, it is a severe test for the national treasury. Inappropriate. Regarding the issue of military expenditures, I will find a way to re-open the treasury, but the establishment of the Dongyang Navy must not be delayed!"

Those who are in charge of politics must have decisive determination. If they are timid because of some small problems, how can they become big things?What's more, there is a treasure trove of the system mall, Yan Hao still has 8 points in his hands, and he doesn't know any tricks to make money after upgrading to the system of Civilization II!

Under Yan Hao's determination and persistence, the establishment of the Dongyang Navy was confirmed in this way.
