A large amount of gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials as well as Japanese women entered the Han Dynasty. This time, the princes Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, and Dou Jiande made a lot of money and looked at the world. The other princes are all jealous.
Moreover, this is only the first batch. Next, these things will be continuously transported from the Japanese country into the Han Dynasty. To be more precise, they will be transported into the rule of these princes.
Cao Cao and Chi You were not very wealthy themselves. After seeing Zhao Kuangyin making such a windfall, they became jealous and even discussed participating in this small alliance to conquer Japan, even at the expense of some money for it. Benefit.
Unfortunately, it was unanimously opposed by Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, and Dou Jiande.
First of all, Cao Cao and Chi You did not have naval strength. They had to use their warships to travel eastward to Japan. They took their ships and divided the gold and silver that should belong to them. How could the princes agree to this? matter?
Secondly, the cake is only one big piece, and the more people share it, the less each person gets. Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, and Dou Jiande, no matter who they are, do not want another person to share the cake!
Especially Zhao Kuangyin, he didn't want one more person to share the cake, and he didn't want the person to share the cake to be Cao Cao or Chi You.
The three of them are all competing for the land of the Central Plains. They are potential rivals. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are life and death enemies. If any one wants to unify the three states of Yan, Yu, and Xu in the Central Plains, the remaining two will definitely not be able to do so. The hurdles must be resolved.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhao Kuangyin be willing to let Cao Cao and Chi You share his cake?
If Zhao Kuangyin gets less of the cake, he will have to develop less. On the contrary, every time Cao Cao and Chi You share a piece of cake, they can take the opportunity to develop and grow.
If Zhao Kuangyin agreed to join Cao Cao and Chi You in this alliance to conquer Japan, wouldn't he be causing trouble for his future self?
Zhao Kuangyin predicted that after he finishes digesting the various resources obtained from Japan, its potential strength will definitely far exceed that of Cao Cao and Chi You now. By that time, his opportunity to unify the Central Plains will truly come.
On the Qin Zheng side, although he also had his own naval force, he was also very envious of the gains that Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, and Dou Jiande gained from the Japanese country. However, at this time, he was indeed distracted and exhausted.
First of all, Liu Bang had just been wiped out by him not long ago. He had just occupied the entire territory of Youzhou not long ago. He still needed some time to stabilize and sort out the place. Territory never ends when it is conquered by force. Even after it is conquered by force, it is only the beginning. Only by truly managing it can it truly help you.
Secondly, it is an old problem between Qin Zhengdong and Li Tang. Qin Zheng just blocked Li Tang's only expansion route, and Li Shimin could only keep chasing Qin Zheng. If he couldn't defeat Qin Zheng, he would have no chance to develop and grow.
Indeed, Litang borders the grassland to the north. However, when it comes to the grassland, it's okay to occasionally catch an autumn wind and snatch a group of war horses. With Li Tang's current situation, it is really unrealistic to occupy other people's territory.
In the final analysis, Li Tang, like the Han Dynasty, was a farming nation, not a nomadic nation, and a farming civilization, not a nomadic civilization.
Even if Li Tang could acquire some grassland territory, he would have to build a city if he wanted to stabilize this acquired territory. But wouldn't it cost money to build a city? How much manpower and material resources will be consumed in this process?
If Li Tang really did this, Qin Zheng would probably laugh out of his sleep. If Li Tang does this, the threat to the east of Qin Zheng will be directly reduced to the lowest point, and then he can safely plot to capture Jizhou.
Establishing a city on the grassland not only requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources in the process, but is also a thankless task. When these occupied areas can feed back the entire force, there may not be enough resources in the process. How long does it take!
Not to mention Li Tang, even Li Xiang would not attack the grassland before he calmed down the world! Taking the initiative to seize the grassland territory now is, in a sense, slowing down the pace of unifying the world!
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have not taken the initiative to compete with the grasslands for territory, but in battles with the grasslands, the costs are basically greater than the benefits, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, the Central Plains forces would take the initiative to attack the grasslands only under the condition of great unification. Otherwise, the Central Plains itself would be in a state of melee among the princes, and there would be no energy to attack the grasslands at that time!
Therefore, Li Xiang's strategic goal has always been to first eliminate all the Han people and then focus on solving the grassland problem. And only then will Li Xiang be able to mobilize sufficient manpower and material resources to solve the grassland problem.
Before that, if the grassland really dared to offend him, he would probably set a fire on the grassland!
Fortunately, the grassland forces at this time are also busy with their own affairs. Although the north is certainly not in a stable state, it is basically a small fight. The grassland people occasionally come to Dahan to fight in the autumn wind, and Dahan Occasionally, people are quietly sent to the grassland to snatch a group of war horses, but there are no major disputes for the time being.
In addition, another reason why Qin Zheng could not mobilize excess power to attack the Japanese country was Yuan Shao.
Before Liu Bang's demise, Yuan Shao was very calm at the time, and he was able to evade the persuasion of several of his advisers, and he truly managed to "sit firmly on the Diaoyutai".
But now, Liu Bang has been destroyed by Qin Zheng, and Yuan Shao is starting to get ready to take action. Although he has not sent out troops yet, a hint of gunpowder has begun to brew.
Of course, after Li Shimin learned that the Han princes had robbed a large amount of gold and silver from the Japanese country, he was also on the jealous side. However, at this time, he did not have the strength to compete with the five princes of the Han Dynasty for the Japanese kingdom!
The five princes of the Han Dynasty joined forces, not to mention Li Shimin and Qin Zheng, a rival. Even without Qin Zheng, he did not have the strength to defeat the five princes at once.
However, since he was not strong enough to directly rob the Japanese country with the Han clan, and Li Shimin was really jealous of the gold and silver, he simply did the opposite...
