The talented man really didn't expect that Lao Zhu would be so ruthless and play such a big role.
Moreover, I don’t know which bastard came up with the idea.
I have to say, this move is really cruel.
The southwest is hilly and rich in various resources, but there are not many fields. The development of the southwest has attracted countless businessmen and people. It is really difficult to be self-sufficient just by planting in the southwest.
This is because of sweet potatoes, otherwise it would be impossible.
Food is the most important.
This problem must be solved, and it must be solved quickly.
Fortunately, sweet potatoes have been spread over a large area, and there are many greenhouses in the southwest, and there are still many reserves.
If that doesn't work, there is Qinzhou, an outlet to the sea.
Lin Bai had to be thankful at this moment that he had decisively captured Qinzhou, the only outlet to the sea in the southwest. Without this outlet, the southwest would have been really trapped. It was surrounded by Dali on three sides, with Dali in the south and the corner of the southwest. There is also an area bordering Vientiane.
There have been wars with these two countries before, so it will definitely not be easy to get resources from these two countries.
To be precise, it is basically impossible.
It was too late for them to cause trouble.
Qinzhou now became the only channel that Lin Bai could control, and the passage to the outside world. The outlet here could lead directly to Changjin County, the Wu Dynasty, etc.
If you have food problems, you can buy them from Changjin County and Wu Dynasty.
However, when sailing on the sea, there is also Zhu Kang, a birdman. This guy will definitely not miss such an opportunity and will definitely take advantage of it.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lao Zhu's move immediately put Xinan into trouble.
The only good thing is that Qinzhou's first warship has already launched into the sea.
With its powerful armaments, it can escort shipping to the southwest.
However, only one ship is still too few after all, and Longfor Shipyard must be accelerated.
Moreover, this was the last resort. After all, the journey to transport food from the Wu Dynasty was too long, with too many variables, and it was only limited to food.
Grain can be purchased in large quantities in the name of the palace, but it is not so easy to sell the goods produced in the southwest.
Of course you can also go to Qinzhou, but there are too many small workshops and it will become extremely complicated.
Veteran Logistics can bring them together.
But again, the Southwest Navy is too weak to protect Southwest cargo.
The talented man frowned, took out the Kanyu map and looked at it, looking for a way out to the southwest.
Don't worry about the other three sides. They are all the territory of Lichao. If Lao Zhu does this, there will naturally be no escape route. Besides Qinzhou, there are only Dali and Wanxiang Kingdom.
etc!
The great talent inadvertently looked at the other corner of the Kanyu map, the Western Region.
The Western Region is known as the Thirty-six Kingdoms, and the Hexi Corridor is completely controlled by Dayue and Jingjue. Passing through the Xirong tribe and entering the Hexi Corridor from Biandukou, one can directly access the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Region.
The most important point is that the great talent is known as the Son of God in the Western Regions.
Very popular.
At present, only this section is left. As long as this section is opened, the goods from the southwest can enter the Western Region Thirty-six through the Hexi Corridor.
Lin Bai looked at that section, which was Sichuan.
It is still Lao Zhu’s territory.
"This old Yinbi made me angry and brought down Sichuan and Shu."
Lin Bai complained in his heart.
Of course, just think about it, for the sake of the two ladies, Lao Zhu cannot be unkind and bear it!
It’s nothing more than a detour.
If you don't go through Sichuan and Shu, you can only change the route to Wanxiang Kingdom, then enter the Xirong tribe from Wanxiang Kingdom, and then enter Biandukou directly to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. In addition, you can also enter Tubo from Wanxiang Kingdom, and then enter Thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
The talented man immediately expressed his thoughts to several beautiful ladies.
The girls' eyes suddenly lit up and they praised their husbands for their intelligence.
Yan Ruxue said: "Husband, what should we do with Wanxiang Kingdom? Southwest has only fought with them before, I'm afraid..."
The little goblin interjected: "If you don't agree, just knock down the territory."
This girl is very confident now.
Although the Southwest is not big, the Southwest Alliance cannot be underestimated. Her husband even brought the Netherworld Cavalry, and the eldest sister is still tinkering with powerful weapons. She also knows a little about it, so she is even less timid.
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, he was also a person who only took pleasure in the fun and did not take it too seriously.
The main reason is that my husband's record is too brilliant and tough.
Opening up the Hexi Corridor and sweeping across the grassland gave several beautiful ladies strong confidence.
Su Mingyue said: "If possible, don't fight. The southwest is developing at a rapid pace. Once war breaks out, the consequences are hard to predict. Wanxiang Kingdom and Dali have always advanced and retreated together, and there are still people behind us..."
Once Southwest really goes to war with the Vientiane Kingdom, then Dali is very likely to join the war.
If this is the case, it is hard to say whether Lao Zhu will make any move.
Although the great talent has explosives, if he really faced off against the three neighboring countries, it would definitely not be a joke.
Lin Bai also meant the same thing. Fighting is really not fun. If one person is not good, many people will die. It is not good for everyone to make money together, so why fight and kill.
Lin Bai immediately said: "That's it, my husband will talk to Wanxiang Kingdom first."
"In addition, the Qinzhou warship has been launched into the sea. General Shen has been training the navy for a long time. Let them go to sea and become familiar with the route from Qinzhou to Changjin County to avoid the exchange of goods in the future."
Gu Ling'er nodded, "Okay!"
During this period, the Iron Lady has been leading Yan Ruxue and Gu Ling'er to jointly govern the southwest, including the government.
Qin Kexin and Song Qianqian are temporarily raising their children and only occasionally taking care of business or family matters.
The great talent is like a mascot. Whatever comes to mind, he just needs to explain it to the three ladies. It's really very comfortable.
But after Lao Zhu did this, Southwest fell into trouble, and the talented man had to go into battle himself.
the next day.
He summoned Lu Zhendong and other officials, as well as major chieftains.
Lu Zhendong was the governor of Guinan appointed by the imperial court. Yan Gang once proposed to replace him. In his own territory, great talents have this right, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
This was to save some face for Lao Zhu, and Lu Zhendong didn't find anything holding him back for the time being.
As for the chief toasts, they are also given a certain amount of respect.
In fact, the major chieftains in the southwest already had great trust in the great talents, and even more so after the Battle of Hexi.
Lin Bai did not hide anything from everyone and explained the situation again.
You can't hide this kind of thing.
In the future, businessmen will realize that something is wrong one after another, so they might as well confess directly.
Luo Xingchen asked in confusion: "Why did the imperial court blockade the southwest?"
Lin Bai smiled, "Because of me."
Tian Jiye glanced at Lin Bai and asked, "Your Majesty, are the rumors outside true? They said you were rebelling against the Qing Dynasty. Is it because of the imperial court that they want to blockade the southwest?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the talented man.
