No matter how difficult it is, they can't rob our Qi country's supplies! Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "What Marquis Tian said is not wrong, how difficult are the people of this Sulu country, he can't rob my Qi country's materials!" ”

"My Qi country inherits the orthodoxy of the empire, and the surrounding area is barbarian, he Sulu is a barbarian country, and he dares to rob my Qi country of resources, this is simply a declaration of war on my Qi country!" Qi Xiaobai looked at everyone and said.

"Your Majesty, although the Sulu State is only a small country, it is a country of the Asian Island Alliance, if we rashly attack the Sulu State, it will be a war with the Asian Island Alliance!" Guan Zhong stood up and looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

In the days of Qi Xiaobai's reign, he also knew that the Asian Island Alliance was an extraordinary international organization, and when united, it was comparable to the empire at its peak, which Qi could not compete with today.

Of course, the Asian Island Alliance united, it was a Big Mac, but it was a loose alliance, because the Asian Island Alliance also had quite serious internal struggles.

Moreover, this kind of internal struggle is more serious than the ruling Chu State, which has a co-ruler Chu State clan 'Xiong Family'.

But the Asian Island Alliance has four leaders, and these four leaders are fighting each other with the surrounding small nations.

However, the purpose of the formation of the Asian Island Alliance was because there was a strong empire in the north, and when the empire was strong, it wanted to expand the steppe in the north and conquer the barbarians in the south, and at that time, there was a Dutch merchant alliance on the sea and the Spanish Empire competing with each other, and the small island countries in the south, which were unable to be involved alone, could not compete with the powerful Dutch merchant alliance and the Spanish Empire, and they had many strong enemies, in order to jointly resist the strong enemy, this alliance was established.

In the early days of its establishment, it did have an effect, first blocking the expansion of the empire in the south, so that the empire did not dare to go south again easily.

Although their sea power was inferior to that of the Spanish Empire and the Dutch merchant alliance, they fought on their own soil, with many ships and men, and finally defeated the Spanish Empire and the Dutch merchant alliance in one fell swoop, and stabilized the entire southern part of Asia, without the interference of strong enemies, this alliance gradually loosened.

And the ambitions of the four initiators of the alliance have gradually been exposed, and they have fought against each other, and many internal wars have broken out.

"I heard that this alliance doesn't seem to be very united, if we destroy the country of Sulu and the continent of Asia, will we have to make a big move against us?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong and asked.

Guan Zhong was silent for a while, then looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Your Majesty, the Asia Island Alliance was established to fight against our empire, if we send troops to it, we may destroy a Sulu country, but it will inevitably attract the attention of the Asia Island Alliance, and then we will be the enemy of the entire Asia Island Alliance!" ”

"Now that we haven't even pacified Kyushu, how can we be able to face the more powerful organization of the International Alliance of Asian Islands?" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"Shall we let this Sulu country take away our supplies?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong and said, there is a lot of poverty in his heart.

If he was robbed of materials by a country stronger than himself, Qi Xiaobai was willing to be unlucky, but if he was robbed of materials by a country weaker than himself, he couldn't speak out, which was simply a shame.

At this time, Tian Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although we can't confront the Asia Island Alliance, but we don't destroy the Sulu State, just punish him, I don't think the Asia Island Alliance will stand up and say anything!" ”

Qi Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and wanted Tian Ji to continue.

"Your Majesty, the upper kingdom of Sulu is the East Indies, the allied country of the Asia Island Alliance, we sent envoys in advance to give East Indies a heart, telling them that I don't want to peep into their ambitions, just because Sulu has robbed my Qi country's materials, we will teach them a lesson and let them not interfere!"

After Qi Xiaobai listened to Tian Ji's words, he then looked at Tian Ji: "What do you mean, we will withdraw our troops after defeating the Sulu Kingdom?" ”

"Your Majesty, destroy the Sulu Kingdom and send it to the East Indies as a sign of our friendship, so that we will not attract the attention of the Asian Island Alliance!" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"After we take the country of Sulu and give it to others, isn't this helping others to fight?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and said.

"Your Majesty, this is theoretically true, but we can plunder the wealth of the Sulu country, although the Sulu country is not a rich country, but they have a pirate land, where many pirates are stationed, and these pirates have a lot of wealth!"

"And the minister's intention is not to conquer the entire territory of Sulu, but to conquer this pirate land and give it to the East Indies!" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

With the strength of the Qi State, although the Sulu State can be destroyed, but the expedition is far away, and it requires a huge navy, the Qi State is now busy with the war between the Kyushu continents, developing the army, how can it be possible to expand the navy in order to destroy a distant Sulu State?

Therefore, Tian Ji only suggested that Qi Xiaobai go to fight the pirates, which was revenge by the way, and at the same time handed over this pirate land to the East Indies and let it mediate the war, which is what Tian Ji really thought.

If the war starts completely, it will be extremely difficult for the Qi State to go to the south to do business and sail, so Tian Ji finally conquered this pirate town, with two purposes, one is to make the East Indies and the Asian Island Alliance not feel the ambition of the Qi State, and the second purpose is to mediate the war and prevent the war from expanding.

The East Indies is the supreme state of Sulu and one of the four major allies of the Asian Island Alliance, and has the right to mediate the war within the eastern part of the Asia Minor Island Alliance, and even order an armistice.

As long as the war does not expand and the pirates are eliminated, the commercial operations of the Qi State in the southern region will be safer in the past, of course, Tian Ji also knows that such a thing as piracy cannot be broken.

But it can be three to five years without pirates, which is already the success of this military operation.

Qi Xiaobai looked at Guan Zhong, waiting for Guan Zhong's reply, he wanted to see what Guan Zhong had in mind.

Guan Zhong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Tian Xiangguo's meaning, there is no shortage of good ways to exterminate the pirates, give the Sulu country a disadvantage, and at the same time, when the war is about to expand, immediately let the East Indies mediate the war!" ”

Everyone in the world knows that pirates are the official of the Sulu State, but they themselves do not admit that fighting the Pirate Country is actually a declaration of war against the Sulu State.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "The widow also thinks that Mr. Tian Ji's strategy is very good, it can give the Sulu country a dismount, it can exterminate the pirates, let us recapture the resources taken away by the pirates, and more importantly, the war is under control." ”
