After Lu Qian listened, he was silent for a moment, then walked to the map and started looking at it.
"After the Yanmen Pass was broken, their army was like a dragon entering the sea, sweeping the plains. First mobilize the troops in northern Henan! This is our hinterland of Daxia. Zhang Bao brought all the Shenji Army over, and they even robbed our firearms. Their ammunition and gunpowder are limited, and their skills and tactics are no match for ours!" Lu Qian said to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao nodded.
Lu Qian said to Chen Qi, "The troops who were sent from the Western Regions to reinforce their troops have been mobilized to the Northern Territory. We cannot let such a tragedy happen again. I'm afraid that Beiliang will have two minds after knowing the current situation..."
"Have the artillery on our Haiwang warship been tested?" Lu Qian continued to ask Chen Qi.
Chen Qi shook his head and said, "This is the first trial... However, it has not been tested on a large scale."
"Divide the Sea King's army into three waves, and then go to Beiliang's dependent countries near the sea to practice. Let them know our national strength! Let Beiliang know that if he dares to invade our northern border, we will dare to attack by surprise. They. Let their country never have peace. Pay attention to the incursions of those countries in the South and South of Japan... I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to cause trouble this time."
Lu Qian ordered
Chen Qi said to Lu Qian, "Master, how about you come with me... I'm afraid..."
Lu Qian looked at Chen Qi and said, "I have passed on all my secret knowledge to you. What's wrong? I don't have confidence in myself... Xia Yan and the others are still in Kyoto, and I'm a little worried about him. Our new emperor has just ascended the throne. If there is a fire in the backyard, then we will really be surrounded on all sides..."
After listening to Lu Qian's words, Xia Wenzhi said, "Sir, leader, if not, I can lead the expedition myself, which can also boost the morale of the soldiers. Anyway, I have you in Kyoto, so I can rest assured."
Lu Qian shook his head and said, "No need. This time, I'm afraid it won't be that simple!"
Looking at Deng Shoutian from the household department, he seemed to have something to say.
Lu Qian looked at Deng Shoutian and said, "Teacher...Teacher...Teacher, if a full-scale war breaks out, the military expenditure will be a huge expense. Now that there is another Sea King Army, once a full-scale war starts, I'm afraid, There is a problem in the economy. We in Daxia, taking the lead through the He Chamber of Commerce, and following your policy, Lord Leader, are carrying out industrial transfers. More than half of the income of our household department comes from exports."
"So once the war escalates to a full scale, the fine salt, white sugar, and Taimao liquor we produce and a series of luxury goods will not be sold. This will have a heavy impact on our economy. Once we lose these export products...then, we will We cannot support the start of a total war!"
Lu Qian looked at Deng Shoutian and said, "Don't worry, how long can the Tobe Ginliang support an all-out war?"
Deng Shoutian said, "It can be guaranteed for one year in the worst case scenario!"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, that's enough. And they are begging us to buy these things. We are not begging to sell them to them... They have blocked us, and we already have a navy that dominates the sea." ..With this Navy King Army, it is enough to open up maritime trade! I will inform He Xun. There is no need to wait for Louis to come. Let’s trade with those countries in Southeast Asia first, and take a look at the situation in those countries. .”
With that said, Lu Qian carefully planned Da Xia's response measures and made a detailed plan.
...
After working until early in the morning, Lu Qian went back.
He returned to Chaohuang Palace without waking Xia Nihuang.
Lying on the bed and falling asleep.
I slept until the next day, at noon.
When she woke up in a daze, she saw Bai Zhi, Xia Nihuang and the others eating in the palace.
Xia Nihuang saw Lu Qian and said
"I heard that you came back almost early in the morning, so I didn't wake you up."
Lu Qian smiled and said, "It's okay. Is anyone coming to see me?"
Xia Nihuang nodded and said, "The little eunuch next to Your Majesty told you to go to the Nourishing Heart Hall after you wake up."
"Didn't you say anything?" Lu Qian asked Xia Nihuang.
Xia Nihuang shook his head and said, "I didn't say, but you shouldn't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, just let me wake you up..."
Lu Qian nodded, looked at Bai Zhi and said.
"Get used to it when you come back." Lu Qian said to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi smiled and nodded and said, "I'm used to everything! After all, this is the place where I grew up. How could I not be used to it...Master leader..."
Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, Lu Qian smiled faintly and then said, "Don't call me the leader. It was the two bastards Xia Yan and Ulda who called you here again... What do you want to do this time?"
When Bai Zhi saw what Lu Qian said, she looked slightly embarrassed and looked at the person next to her.
Lu Qian said to Bai Zhi, "Don't worry, everyone here is trustworthy... I have told Nihuang about your matter."
It is also true that after Lu Qian came back to the people in Chaohuang Palace, he asked the three Tianzhu sisters to test them out.
There are no problems.
Only then did Bai Zhi understand, because he came to Huang Palace yesterday.
In fact, she had long heard of Xia Nihuang's fiery personality, so she was still a little wary of coming to Chaohuang Palace.
However, Xia Nihuang was very enthusiastic towards her when she first arrived, and seemed to regard Bai Zhi as her own sister.
Bai Zhi once thought she had admitted the wrong person.
Only now do I understand that it was Lu Qian who told Xia Nihuang about himself.
Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly and then said to Lu Qian, "Yes, they want me to come and find out what you think of this battle and whether you will leave Kyoto. Let's see what your plans are."
After finishing speaking, Bai Zhi said to Lu Qian, "Mr. Lu, since the last time they went to Tianxing Restaurant to meet someone, the two of them have been discussing something in secret. You have to be careful about them."
Lu Qian nodded to Bai Zhi and said, "Okay, I understand. I will live here from now on and don't go back."
Before Bai Zhi could refuse, "Bai Zhi, listen to me this time. Don't go back... I will take action against them sooner or later! You are very important to me. If they kidnap you and threaten me, bad things will happen..."
Bai Zhi felt warm after hearing this. Before she could speak, Xia Nihuang said, "Sister, what Lu Qian said is right! Just stay. Don't be controlled and abused by them. Lu Qian is no longer what he used to be." Yes, he is capable of protecting us! You have already paid a lot for him."
Bai Zhi glanced at Lu Qian and said, "Then if I don't go back, will they suspect..."
Lu Qian said to Bai Zhi, "Just go back and tell them this..."
Lu Qian leaned close to Bai Zhi's ear and said something, and Bai Zhi nodded repeatedly after listening.
After having a meal with them, Lu Qian went to the Yangxin Hall.
After Xia Wenzhi saw Lu Qian, he quickly stood up to greet him, and said to Lu Qian with a gloomy expression, "Prime Minister Lu... someone from Da Zhou has sent you a gift."
The best emperor master
