"Is there really no one in Wu Dynasty?"
Sitting on the seat, Fang Fang pursed his lips, his eyes filled with contempt.
Lao Pu smiled back and said, "It's not that the lady wants to hide you. Could it be that you want to be dragged directly into the Documents Department for analysis?"
Giving Lao Pu a middle finger, Fang Fang sat upright and said, "First of all, I want to make it clear that I don't understand military matters. Asking questions is in vain. I can only give you a reference direction!"
The basic geographical framework of Kyushu in Another World has not changed, but the specifics have changed. The mountains have become higher, the water has become deeper, and the entire world has been enlarged several times.
This amplification did not affect people much, but the specific geographical conditions were completely different, and the geographical chasm also changed accordingly.
Think about it…
Originally a river of dozens of steps, it suddenly became several times wider and turned into a big river. In the past, crossing the river only required a pontoon bridge, but now crossing the river requires building bridges and paving roads.
On a small hillside, the cavalry used to be able to charge to the top of the hillside with a single charge, but now they can also charge up there. After the charge, the horses are so exhausted that they can't even lift the sword!
Again, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei sneaked into the Shuhan's Yangchang Trail, and the altitude suddenly rose to a height lacking oxygen. This is nothing to refer to!
Therefore, we will not touch military matters, even if we are given the opportunity.
Lao Pu nodded, "You don't need to think about military affairs. All you have to do is analyze the possibilities. For example, what will the Ming Dynasty do? Will it focus on suppressing the riots and seeking stability, or will it be bold and aggressive, and send troops to suppress it? If it sends troops, there is a high probability that it will What direction should we take? There is also an alliance. The two countries are too far apart and the news is inconvenient. There is no guarantee whether the alliance has been signed or not. You have to analyze one possibility in turn as a reference for the next step!"
"First question, the Li brothers and I just guessed that the Ming Dynasty will definitely fight back. No matter who is behind it, the Ming Dynasty will definitely go to war against Song Dynasty, and this action will be very fast. In which direction will the troops be sent? , the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, and Pengcheng, Xuzhou have the largest ones!”
"in accordance with!"
"Based?" Fang Fang sneered, "Are Zhengde's life and style enough?"
"enough!"
Why is it not enough? Zhengde is not a king who just follows the routine. Anything can happen to Emperor Zhengde.
"It doesn't matter whether the covenant is signed or not. It's up to me to continue signing it. Don't have any thoughts of taking advantage of the fire during the signing process. In the short term, the Ming Dynasty needs the help of the Wu Dynasty, but in the long term, we still need the Ming Dynasty. Taking advantage of the fire may be able to destroy the covenant." Sign it, but this covenant is worse than waste paper. When it comes to the covenant, we must adopt the mentality of making friends, show our enthusiasm, and build up our credibility!"
"Wouldn't this look...weak?"
The Wu Dynasty was in a difficult situation. The warriors still believed that the alliance between the northern powers should be reciprocal. Even if they did not intend to take advantage of the situation, they should not lower their status too low.
"weak?"
Fang Fang asked rhetorically, "I don't know what made you think this way. Everyone knows that a covenant is waste paper and can be torn at any time. A torn covenant is worse than toilet paper, but its duration is the greatest justice and name." , Wu Dynasty has been separated from Kyushu for too long, so as long as it does not involve losing power and humiliating the country, anyone can sign this covenant, because by signing it, we will not only get an opportunity, but also release our attitude to the outside world, a positive and open attitude!"
“People need this attitude to look forward to the future and form a vision, so as to reduce troubles during the relief-for-work period and at the same time strengthen people’s hearts!”
"Hushi needs this attitude to intimidate the grassland externally and appease the business groups from various countries internally!"
"Perhaps we can exchange for more valuable physical objects through the alliance, but if the alliance exists for one day, the hidden value will help us get out of the diplomatic and commercial blockade of various countries!"
The act of seclusion would cause too much internal damage. Fortunately, the Wu Dynasty was passive and could open to the outside world at any time. Of course, it was impossible for the military people to take the initiative to block it due to their character.
The Ming Dynasty is now the strongest in Kyushu. Once it accepts the return of the Wu Dynasty to the Central Plains in the form of an alliance, its impact will be far greater than the current Lianghuai riot, and the so-called blockade will also be self-defeating.
"The theory of the Six Nations has trapped us for forty years, and this covenant is our counterattack!"
Fang Fang's eyes swept across the face of the captain of the Office of Documents.
It's a pity that they all wore masks. Under the thick fur coats in winter, they couldn't distinguish their figures, let alone their voices and expressions. If they hadn't watched people get in, these people would have felt like dead people.
Lao Pu turned Fang Fang's head away and said, "If the Ming Dynasty sends troops, food will be the biggest problem that the Ming Dynasty will face, and the difference will be huge!"
"Short of food?" Fang Fang said casually, "Then give him food and exchange sea food for river food!"
"What, give them food?"
Lao Pu's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.
Are you kidding me?
In this world, there are rich people who help the poor, but there is no such thing as the poor helping the rich in return.
Why did the covenant need to be signed? Was it because the Wu Dynasty wanted to get rid of the shackles of the Song people and buy back the missing grain from the Ming people?
Now that Mingren has not even put a grain of rice into the warehouse, he has to take it out to outsiders. Are you kidding?
"What the Ming Dynasty lacked was not food, but transportation capacity. In winter, land transportation was difficult and the sea route had little impact. If we are willing to take a different approach, we can not only solve our own food shortage problem, but also facilitate Emperor Zhengde's dispatch of troops and completely defeat the enemy. Countries are taking their attention away from us!”
"You're thinking……"
Lao Pu looked at Fang Fang in astonishment and exclaimed in his heart what a good guy.
As soon as his thinking changed, not only did things come to pass, but he also caused chaos for the people of Song Dynasty.
No matter who came up with the idea, the current situation will inevitably lead to a war between the Song and Ming dynasties in the near future. However, the scale of this war is limited by manpower and material resources, and it cannot be fought even if it is too large.
But if the Wu Dynasty followed the equation, it would be equivalent to adding a supply line to the Ming army, and this supply line went along the canal. Theoretically, the Wu Dynasty could send as much as it had in its warehouses to the Ming army. , the amount is large but the time to full is short.
War is full of uncertainties. When resources are sufficient, the upper and lower margins cannot be controlled. A small war may turn into a big war, a big war may turn into a state war, and a state war may turn into a national war.
Fang Fang smiled and nodded, "Of course, Ming Dynasty has to mention it first. We can't take the initiative. After they mention it, I can also clear the inventory. The most important thing in the process is to change positions!"
"If it's just about replacing old grain with new grain, this won't be the key, right?" Lao Pu also said with a smile.
"The layout is too small!"
Pinch your index finger and thumb together, "Changing warehouses not only changes the grain in the warehouse, but also changes the location of the warehouse. It takes a lot of effort to transport Qingzhou grain to the north by land, while the Ming Dynasty ship only takes three or four more days to travel. We are completely The terminal point of the sea transportation can be set near Yuyang County and Bohai County!"
Among the three states of the Wu Dynasty, Jizhou was seriously short of food.
Qingzhou has good geographical conditions. It can satisfy itself and also supply to Jizhou.
The environment in Bingzhou is similar to that of Jizhou, but the population is also relatively sparse. If you put a little effort into digging for food in the fields, you can always fill yourself up.
As far as grain storage is concerned, Wu Dynasty's grain storage is mainly scattered on both sides of the canal. It is transported north on weekdays and south during wartime. Combined with the Grand Canal, Wu Dynasty has no worries about logistical supplies.
