Liaodong Special Economic Zone.
A dossier.
Placed in an antique study room.
Xie Chengqian, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, watched quietly with his brows furrowed.
As the contemporary emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he knew what kind of impact this special economic zone would have on the entire Southeast Asia once it was successfully developed.
too big.
The impact is too great.
This branch of the Xie family, known as the "Desire of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", grew from scratch to greatness. It relies on maritime trade. Rubber, oil palm, coconut, burnt hemp, agarwood, and various other assets were sold to Long Yan in exchange for Datang's military spending. Step by step, their family developed the territory of Nanyang into an increasingly larger area.
all of these.
Naturally, it cannot be separated from the cooperation with Long Yan's country, the scholar-bureaucrat group, and those Jiedushi.
At least for now.
Longyan is also a major consumer of these goods in Nanyang.
Xie Chengqian is also a heroic ruler.
His eyes were also set on the West. It's just that the development of ships in Nanyang has encountered a bottleneck. Nanyang's low social productivity was unable to produce warships that could span several continents. Of course, Nanyang's goods can also be transported by sea to Putu Port to earn some first-line profits.
But...
Obviously this is not what Xie Chengqian wants.
He wants more.
Before, he wanted to obtain more benefits and dealt with Long Yan's scholar-bureaucrats and Jiedu envoys.
But the problem he faces now is that he may not even be able to get the remaining shares.
Once the dragon flames, sea trade opens.
For these smuggling groups, the blow is undoubtedly significant.
Although……
At this time, it seems that the chance of Liaodong, a crying place, being developed is very slim.
But still, he got Xie Chengqian's attention.
"Your Majesty, you are still watching..."
A thin woman appeared next to Xie Chengqian and asked softly.
"Hahahaha, Guanyin is here just in time, come and take a look."
Xie Chengqian laughed and stood up to greet him.
The woman is Xie Chengqian's married wife and eldest grandson Qingrong. Although the Nanyang Tang Dynasty was not as big as Long Yan, the internal competition was equally fierce. If it weren't for the strong support of Changsun Qingrong's brother, Xie Chengqian would have been killed by several of his brothers. Therefore, he still respects his eldest grandson Qingrong.
"Liaodong?"
Changsun Qingrong frowned slightly when he saw the file.
"What do you think, Maid Guanyin?"
Changsun Qingrong pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, we should strike first!"
"What does Guanyin Maid mean?"
Xie Chengqian was shocked: "We can't defeat Long Yan now!"
"What I said is..."
"Seize the Japanese port!"
"What?"
Xie Chengqian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
…
"I'm furious!"
"I'm furious!"
Along the way, Masashige Mizuno harmed countless women and killed countless men!
During this trip to Long Yan, he was feeling aggrieved and crushed in every way!
He didn't get anything he wanted!
I also posted a piece of the best ambergris!
shame!
This is definitely a shame for their great Japanese country!
"General, general..."
"General, calm down!"
Mizuno Masashige was so angry that he said angrily: "How can I calm down my anger? Come and tell me how I can calm down my anger! Huh?"
"General, the Longyan Dynasty is beyond the reach of the whip after all... When we should attack the Li Dynasty, we will attack the Li Dynasty... The land of Liaodong, haha, I'm afraid they can't even control the weather. How can they control us?"
"Yes! General, and in Liaodong, we can also send people to secretly participate..."
"The reason why you are so popular is because of that Liu Zheng!"
"Fuck him!"
"You mean, we also go to Liaodong to have fun?"
Mizuno Masashige's face turned gloomy upon hearing this.
"exactly!"
"Hahahaha, what a great idea! By the way, report the matter about Long Yan back to China immediately!"
"yes!"
…
"You...want to go too?"
Zou Sheng was incredible.
Zhai Shiqing smiled softly: "Yes, as a military scribe, it is authorized by General Qin!"
"marvelous!"
Zou Sheng almost jumped up.
"Then... we'll see you tomorrow?"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Looking at Zou Sheng, he jumped away.
Zhai Shiqing's smile never faded.
"Small……"
"Um?"
"No, sir, I am furious about your going to the battlefield. This..."
Zhai Shiqing smiled lightly: "Why, in this realm of Liangzhou, does this old man think he has more say than General Qin?"
"this……"
The servant was sweating coldly.
Zhai Shiqing smiled and said: "It's authorized by General Qin, do you understand? It's authorized!"
After saying this, Zhai Shiqing jumped off the carriage and jumped up and down like Zou Sheng.
The servant had a dark look on his face.
What kind of charter...
Didn't you take the initiative to ask to serve in the army?
Hey, what happened...
The next day.
The 50,000 Liangzhou army has been ordered.
Qin Changfeng personally led the team, and three hundred reserve generals who had trained in Liangzhou set off with the team.
With great momentum, the people bid farewell.
I vow to rescue General Zheng!
Even if he can't be saved, he still wants to show some color to the Naputu Kingdom.
…
"It's over, it's over..."
"It's over, it's over!"
Omar has dark circles under his eyes.
He couldn't sleep for several days and angrily scolded the ministers in front of him: "Did you hear that, Liangzhou sent troops! Liangzhou sent troops! And you, for so many days, you haven't even found a piece of clothing! You're a bunch of trash! waste!"
One person gritted his teeth and said: "Sir Sudan, this Liangzhou Army has gone too far! Isn't this insulting our Putu Dynasty? It's only 50,000, fight back!"
"that is!"
"Fight back!"
"We have an army of 300,000 in Putu. Are we still afraid of them?"
"shut up!"
Omar's face darkened: "Is this a matter of fighting back? Huh? If I can fight, am I still afraid of them?"
A bunch of sticks!
We can definitely fight a war, and Putu is not afraid of the 50,000 Liangzhou Army.
but……
What happened after the fight?
Does the Silk Road still exist?
What if it doesn’t exist?
Liangzhou doesn't have much influence. He can completely bypass Loulan, but his kingdom will be over!
No money!
Don't look at the Putu Kingdom, which is known to be strong. Only they understand that without the Silk Road, they will starve to death! There is no talk of arrogance or extravagance, no talk of enjoyment!
In Central and Western Asia, apart from the Ottoman Empire, there was also the Kingdom of Putu.
There is another powerful enemy of the Putu Kingdom, and that is the Mughal Empire!
When the Mughals were at their most powerful, even the Putu Kingdom belonged to their territory. Fortunately, the top building of the Mughals was Islamic, but the basic masses were Hindu. After that, the Putu dynasty took advantage of the ambitions of the Marathas in the Mughal Empire and began to struggle to become independent.
Although the Mughal emperor is now fatuous, the internal governors are self-reliant, and the Marathas are ambitious, they are still a powerful empire.
If the Silk Road took a detour through the Mughals, the feud between the Putu Kingdom and the Mughals would probably no longer have the chance to stand firm in Central and Western Asia.
this……
Is it about war?
waste!
A bunch of rubbish!
"That……"
"what should we do?"
"Lord Sultan!"
A group of ministers also had no idea.
Omar took a deep breath: "Don't set up defenses, do you hear me? Don't set up defenses, come with me to meet the Liangzhou army, and apologize!"
"What?"
