Otherworldly Castle Era

When Changsun Sheng and the Kingdom of Ice and Snow came to make Benedict Keogh agree on the details of the loan, they reported his “success” to Yang Song in the Privy Council.

“Very good.” In the Privy Council, after listening to the negotiation process described by Chang Sun Sheng, Yang Song nodded happily: “At least ten years of silver mining rights and tariff rights will allow us to control the ice and snow kingdom for at least ten years. The lifeblood of his economy.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty.” Changsun Sheng was very pleased with Yang Song’s affirmation. He preached with a smile on his face: “As far as the minister knows, based on the economic conditions of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, if the other party has not changed, Ten years later, I will not be able to repay this loan, and even if the other party completes the repayment within ten years, the other party’s economic lifeline has already been controlled by China for ten years, and my country’s influence may have already penetrated its domestic and foreign countries. Up.”

Yang Song was very satisfied with Changsun Sheng’s words. As a result, their Great Xia Empire had harvested a puppet state in the north of the mainland, which was quite beneficial to the development plan being implemented by Xia Guo.

Moreover, even if Xia Guo released the loan, it would only turn from the left hand to the right, and it would definitely not let the people of the Ice and Snow Kingdom handle it.

Yang Song instructed Zhang Juzheng on the other side: “The specific price will be adjusted after the results of the support, and we will evaluate and formulate a tariff policy that is beneficial to China.”

“Chen Zongzhi!” After Zhang Juzheng learned of the gains after sending troops, he now no longer opposes sending troops, but responded happily. He can be regarded as seeing another way to improve finances.

Yang Song then asked Li Jing who was also involved in the meeting: “How is the support plan done?”

“Enlighten Your Majesty.” Li Jing replied with a fist, “According to the intelligence, the minister has drawn up a draft of the support plan.”

Yang Song nodded and said, “Tell me a little bit.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Li Jing led the order: “My Daxia Sea is more than 830 kilometers away from the southernmost islands of the Snow Kingdom, and it is more than 1,220 kilometers away from the battlefield of the Snow Kingdom, and There is a federation of princes between the two countries on land, so if you want to send troops to rescue you, you can only go by sea.”

Li Jing first talked about the distance between the two countries in detail, and then reported: “Your Majesty, the minister plans to send the navy fleet and marine brigade to the Kingdom of Ice and Snow for emergency rescue, and then make a decision based on the battle situation.”

“Yeah!” Yang Song heard that Li Jing’s plan was to let the Ice and Snow Kingdom survive the current wave, and nodded to confirm Li Jing’s plan, and then asked: “How many warships does the Navy plan to send?”

“My Majesty, because the exploratory fleet has just set out to sea, our waters in Daxia still need to be escorted by warships.” Li Jing gave a specific answer after discussing the current situation of the navy: “After discussing with General Li Bao, the minister decided to send it out. The defensive fleet’s super battleship Apocalypse, Tianqi, Shanhai, three cruisers and three destroyers, all nine supply ships.”

Yang Song thought for a while. Li Jing said that all the super battleships and battleships of the defensive fleet were sent out, leaving three fast battleships, three cruisers, three destroyers, and all twelve frigates that were not conducive to long voyages. Down.

If it were just offshore patrols and defenses, relying on the tattered goods of the princes federation, it was already completely enough, but in this way, there would be no sea attack force.

“It seems that the plan for attacking the fleet is on the agenda!” After Yang Song calculated, he deeply felt that Xia Guo’s current sea power was insufficient, and he was a little bit helpless.

Since the establishment of the defensive fleet, Xia’s navy has not been expanded again, and the ocean offensive fleet planned a long time ago has been put on hold indefinitely because of the strength of Xia’s navy.

The territory of Xia Kingdom is wide enough now, and the coastline is not as few as one thousand kilometers. The newly occupied pass alone has a coastline of more than one thousand two hundred kilometers, not to mention that there is a wide and long one. The boundary river exists.

Therefore, Xia’s current defensive fleet is not enough. Just like sending troops to support the Ice and Snow Kingdom this time, it can only send three battleships, three cruise ships, and three destroyers. This adds up to less than ten. A battleship went to sea to fight.

The more he thought about it, the more Yang Song had the urge to build an offensive fleet immediately, but the impulse could only be impulse.

“Oh~!” After Yang Song sighed in his heart, he instructed Li Jing: “Let’s do it like this. The mobilization of the Marine Brigade and the recruitment of the transport ship will begin!”

“Zunzhi, Your Majesty.” Li Jing clasped his fists to take his orders.

“Enjoy your majesty.” Seeing that Yang Song gave the order, Zhang Juzheng suggested at this time: “In fact, there is no need to send extra troops to support the Ice and Snow Kingdom. The minister suggested that a batch of weapons can be sold to the Ice and Snow Kingdom, or more profits can be made. .”

Zhang Juzheng had thought of increasing Xia Guo’s finances from arms trafficking. In addition to increasing benefits, his proposal can also be reduced. It is precisely from the idea of ​​increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

“Sell weapons?” While Yang Song was still meditating on Zhang Juzheng’s suggestion, Liu Ji, who had not spoken, said at this time: “Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Zhang Geshou’s words.”

“Selling weapons to the Kingdom of Ice and Snow can increase the income of the country.” Faced with Yang Song’s eyes, Liu Ji explained in detail: “Secondly, I don’t need to spend more troops, materials, and manpower in Daxia.”

“If you are worried that the Kingdom of Ice and Snow will still lose to the Kingdom of Northern Cold after getting weapons.” Liu Ji said to Li Jing at ~www.wuxiax.com~, “Or you can ask my Daxia generals to train and command operations for them.”

“Your Majesty.” After hearing the suggestions of Zhang Juzheng and Liu Ji, Li Jing’s eyes lit up and agreed: “The minister agrees, if the Ice and Snow Kingdom still loses to the Northern Cold Kingdom at that time, we will send an army to eliminate this stubborn enemy in Daxia. It’s okay.”

Yang Song heard the words of one of his important ministers and thus completed the plan to support the Ice and Snow Kingdom, and nodded in satisfaction.

Just as Yang Song was about to approve the order to make a decision, Yang Song suddenly remembered the special geographical location of the Ice and Snow Kingdom and the Northern Cold Kingdom, and asked Li Jing: “Pharmacist, can the soldiers keep warm items? Qi?”

Because the two countries are located in the north of the mainland, unlike Xia State in the south of the mainland, Bingxue Island is in the ice age for nearly half of the year under the perennial temperature, and even more northerly. Frozen all year round.

In addition to the snow and ice in the northern part of the Xia Kingdom, most of the other seasons are biased towards warmth, not to mention the perennial high temperature south of Tianchuan Pass. One of the reasons why the capital was built in the seaside basin located in the middle.

So now when Yang Song mentioned the army’s preparations to keep out the cold, he surprised many ministers who were in the Privy Council. Xia Guo is now in the mid-autumn festival.

Li Jing was also a little surprised at Yang Song’s full thoughts, but he still replied: “My Majesty, the cold protection is already available, if it is not enough, the minister will let the rear guard increase.”

“Very good. In that case, let’s implement it!” In the end, Yang Song finally made a decision with satisfaction.

“Chen Zunzhi!”…
