Zhao Ding looked at everyone with a smile, then put his avatar on the map of various countries hanging in the center of the room, and said: "I understand the old master's concerns, but the current situation forces us to make a choice. Before saying Before talking about the benefits of this move, let me ask you a few questions. What will happen if I don’t take any measures now? Can the iron ore that I am lacking be able to get back from the negotiating table? Once Wen Ziheng stands firm Heel, Shaoping Nanchen, what will happen next for the old ministers who are now loyal to the previous dynasty? How can a rebellious monarch convince the public? Is he willing to be Yu's puppet on strings, or should he establish a career to stabilize himself? His own position? If he wants to consolidate his position, where is the breakthrough point? Should he attack the hero who helped him rise to power, or should he attack the enemy country that already has enmity with him like me? If that happens, I will do it. How to deal with yourself?" Zhao Ding said every word.
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, many of the ministers present, including Master Yang Fu, frowned deeply at this moment.
The answer is not obvious, but they know it deep down. But the problem is that today's situation in Daqian is somewhat of a dilemma.
If you advance, you will easily offend the big Yu behind Nan Chen, if you retreat, you will create trouble. In such a comparison. It is not impossible to arm a few Mobei alien tribes.
The only trouble is that he may be laughed at by the other four countries of the Central Plains, and at the same time, he must beware of the Mobei alien race.
Zhao Chongyuan stood aside quietly, looking at Zhao Ding who was standing in front of the map and talking. The look of satisfaction in his eyes became more and more obvious.
Zhao Ding didn't care about this, and continued calmly: "At the moment, although the five countries and we are not fighting each other, it is actually another kind of competition, especially at this time, the Nanchen incident suddenly broke out and the situation became more tense. All opportunities were fleeting. Instead of thinking about what might happen in the future, it is better to think about how to solve the current matter. As for whether the Mobei aliens will have two ends, I can This guarantees that they won't dare!" As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Zhao Chongyuan could not help but look thoughtful in his eyes. However, he did not speak or open his mouth, and still allowed Zhao Ding and the several big humerus present to communicate.
This is actually another way to tame and win people's hearts.
"Since you all know the details of our current situation in Youzhou, you should naturally be able to understand why our Youzhou can grow in the cracks between Nanchen, Beiliang and Mobei foreign races. Since I can develop Youzhou under such a crack At this point, there are naturally ways to suppress the foreign tribes in Mobei. It is absolutely guaranteed that before I become stronger, those three tribes will be my playthings!" At this point, Zhao Ding's face revealed for the first time There was a look of disdain.
It was an aura that looked down on the world, which was completely different from the laziness of the past. Seeing the look on Zhao Ding's face, everyone present was shocked again.
Even Xu Tiande couldn't help but look at Zhao Ding twice.
"The same thing is said. Since I can make the Mobei foreigners, who have been unruly since ancient times, sit down and do business calmly, I naturally have ways to make them afraid. The so-called armed forces are naturally under my control. Armed, even if they become stronger, I will not be afraid!"
"Okay, that's well said. My Daqian prince should have such a spirit!" Before anyone could say anything, Zhao Chongyuan applauded him. After speaking, he added: "With you, I would have been very impressive." Zhao Chongyuan. Ding rolled his eyes.
This person is shameless, he is really quite good! Ye Liancheng cupped his hands and said, "May I ask Lord Yan, how do you scare the foreign tribes in Mobei?"
"There's no need to talk about this." Zhao Ding directly rejected Ye Liancheng's question without comment.
His so-called method is naturally to use repeating crossbows, especially military crossbows, and a series of large-scale siege repeating crossbows and the Shenwu cannon he just made.
And over the years, he has painstakingly arranged for people to be inserted into the three major tribes. With the presence of these people and the necessary precautions, he can ensure that the Mobei foreigners cannot cause any trouble in his hands, and they dare not cause any trouble.
Of course, this is not a long-term thing, and no measure can be guaranteed to be complete and without even a single flaw.
But Ai Gong has something to say. Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon. Only when Da Gan is strong enough can he conquer all things with his power, and he must have the necessary means when necessary!
After all, opportunity waits for no one.
"It's true that I'm being rude when I lower my rank. I hope Prince Yan won't be surprised." Listening to Zhao Ding's words, Ye Liancheng also realized that what he just said was indeed a bit rude.
The facts are already in front of us, so why bother trying to figure out how to do it. Especially since he is still a civil servant, he should not ask too many questions about things that he should not ask.
"Then I dare to ask Lord Yan, if this matter comes out one day, how will I, Dagan, gain a foothold among the five Central Plains countries?" Yang Fu still seemed to have not turned the corner and still asked with his hand.
Pedantic. Zhao Ding rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still said extremely calmly: "Before answering the question of Mrs. Yang, let me ask Mrs. Yang first. I dare to ask Mrs. Yang. Now Dayu is interfering. Regarding the matter of Nanchen, do we and the five surrounding countries dare to say a word?" As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present could not help but fall into silence. Even Zhao Chongyuan couldn't help but be silent for a moment. Seeing this, Zhao Ding continued: "After talking about the disadvantages, let me talk about the advantages! One: Using the Mobei aliens to harass Dayu at the border can distract Dayu in a short period of time, even if it cannot implicate Dayu. Most of the troops, but at least it can ensure that they will not be able to send troops out of the sky to clear the pass in a short period of time. In this way, if we continue to support the old forces and tie up Wen Ziheng's troops to quell the chaos, they will not be able to quickly Unifying Nancheng into one can, on the one hand, weaken its national power, and on the other hand, it can also gain us more advantages at the negotiation table that are beneficial to our Dagan. The biggest drawback of our Dagan today is the lack of enough iron ore. The smelting technology is also relatively backward. But these Nanchen and Beiliang can provide enough supplies. As long as I can get the high-quality iron ore that we are in short supply, by the way, through this marriage in Beiliang, I can make up for the smelting problems. Insufficient. With this, more weapons and armor can be built. In this way, my great power will be strong, so why should I be afraid of those so-called rumors? Here, I answer Yang based on a sentence once said by the previous sage. Old master. Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the crossbow! Instead of waiting, it is better to seize the time to develop. Face is just a piece of paper, so why should you care?" Zhao Ding said every word. Said from the bottom of everyone's heart.
It echoed in the hearts of everyone for a long time.
"Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the crossbow? Okay! Okay! Okay!" Zhao Chongyuan carefully savored what Zhao Ding said just now. At the end, he couldn't help but clap his hands and shout. Say three!
Since ancient times, exchanges between countries have followed the law of the jungle. There is no fairness and justice. National strength is always the strongest foundation of a country!
If there is no national power behind it, any words of honor or nice words will be empty. Big fists are the last word!
Not only Zhao Chongyuan, but also Xu Tiande and Qian Song looked at Zhao Ding with somewhat different eyes!
Only Yang Fu, Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan looked a little unnatural. But to be fair, what Zhao Ding said does make sense.
When the country is strong, the people are strong; when the country is weak, the people are weak. And only when the country is strong can they seize the greatest benefits from the dealings of other countries!
"I have gone into a misunderstanding. I hope Prince Yan is not to blame." After thinking for a long time, Yang Fu finally bowed to Zhao Ding.
And Zhao Ding didn't take any credit or be arrogant. When he saw Yang Fu bowing, Zhao Ding also bowed and bowed back: "Old Master Yang, you are too polite. I just accepted the baptism of some predecessors' thoughts and discussed the principles of governing the country. In the way of politics, we should learn more from Master Yang." Zhao Ding was neither humble nor overbearing. He accepted Yang Fu's courtesy and also flattered Yang Fu quietly.
After all, if we talk about age. Yang Fu can be regarded as Zhao Ding's grandfather. People of this age still have to give face.
And listening to Zhao Ding's words, Yang Fu's old face couldn't help but look strange. He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ding again.
However, Zhao Ding didn't care and continued:
"The second benefit is that it can bring enough benefits for my great work, and at the same time, it can give me enough time to accumulate strength. Now that Wen Ziheng has just ascended the throne and the throne is unstable, he is in great danger. Support, but the Nanchen Yuan family has been operating in Nanchen for two hundred years, and there are still many old and young people who are loyal to the previous dynasty. If Wen Ziheng wants to wipe out these people, it will conservatively estimate that it will take about a year and a half, but if there is We are secretly supporting those old and young, so this time is enough to extend it to another three or even five years. And making good use of these three to five years is enough to seize more benefits at the negotiation table and exchange for more South Chen's unique high-quality iron ore and Beiliang's smelting technology, after smelting and processing these iron ores, will be enough to create a truly capable fighting force for me in five years! Time and space are available , Why should I worry about not being strong? Why should I be afraid of rumors?" Listening to Zhao Ding's words, everyone present could not help but feel excited.
Contain left and right, seize benefits, and develop secretly. If it is implemented smoothly, it will indeed be enough to buy him enough development time!
Maybe even with this, the great power of the country can sweep away the decadence of the previous dynasty and reach another peak!
"Okay! Good! Good!" Zhao Chongyuan clapped his hands and said "good" three times in a row. Among the people present, no one knew more about those things in Youzhou than he did. Once they were built in batches, how huge the increase in his national power would be!
Cough cough cough---Zhao Ding cleared his throat and said: "But before that, there is still a big move to be made."
"What big chess game?" Zhao Chongyuan was stunned and couldn't help but ask. Even other people present couldn't help but look over curiously.
Look at Zhao Ding. Zhao Ding grinned and said: "That is to come up with a painful plan, such as demoting me back to Youzhou!"
