Chapter 930: Yang Guang's Request
This time, Daxia was blacklisted, as well as the two royal cities of Dali and Chengdu.
Dali, Chengdu and Daxia are all hostile relations, Ouyang Shuo was not polite, and directly cut off the idea of taking advantage of the two royal cities.
As soon as the news came out, the caravans of the two royal cities were also anxious.
With the opening of the great shipping route, the proportion of ocean trade in China's trade has increased month by month, and has accounted for more than 30% so far.
Missing out on this free trade would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Caravan of Wangcheng.
When Dali and Chengdu Chamber of Commerce were anxious, news came from Shanhai City, saying that Daxia welcomed the Chamber of Commerce to move to Shanhai City and enjoy special treatment.
Everyone knows who this news is aimed at.
According to the grapevine, it is said that when Emperor Liu Bei of Shu got the news, his face was obviously red with anger, and in order to maintain the image of a humble gentleman, he pretended to be nothing, which is really interesting.
Fortunately, Guan and Zhang, who will find fault with Liu Bei, are no longer there, otherwise it will be another wave.
As for what kind of treatment the Quanzhou caravan will enjoy, Ouyang Shuo, the king of Xia, has already released his words: "Let the Great Sui send someone to Shanhai City to talk!" ”
I also want to know that Daxia is going to sit on the ground and start the price.
Handan City, Lord's Palace.
Soon after Great Xia blacklisted the [Yanhuang League] caravan, Di Chen and the others gathered together to discuss matters.
"It's just too deceitful!"
It was Chun Shenjun who spoke, Danyang City, which started with commerce, and took advantage of the convenience of the Yangtze River waterway to gradually begin to expand ocean trade.
It's no wonder that Chun Shenjun messed up.
Emperor Chen and the others pretended not to hear it, what Chun Shenjun said was too much of a bastard, and Daxia didn't owe [Yanhuang League], the two were mortal enemies, where was there bullying.
"This time, the old fox is going to completely tear his face with us." Di Chen's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and he looked at everyone present one by one, "We have no way out. ”
“……”
Xiongba and the others were silent, and their hearts were heavy.
Previously, Great Xia was passive in accepting moves, and they didn't feel anything, but this time Great Xia took the initiative abnormally, and the [Yanhuang League] was overwhelmed.
Only then did Di Chen and the others feel that Great Xia had become so powerful that it was simply suffocating.
"Since there is no way, let's fight against the water!"
It is a male bully who speaks, and the fighting spirit in his eyes is undiminished, and he has a heroic demeanor.
All of you here, the three of them didn't talk much, such as Killing the Army, Drifting Illusion and Feng Qingyang. The three of their territories are located in the northwest region, but they have no connection with ocean trade, and the impact of this round of banning on them is almost zero.
Not long ago, Feng Qingyang finally ended his retreat.
After leaving the customs, it was no surprise that he took charge of the Swordsman City again, and let his sister Feng Qingyue, who had done a good job, leave the scene gloomily, which was very embarrassing.
The Feng family's tradition of "patriarchy" is by no means something that can be changed in a day or two.
Chun Shenjun glanced at the three of Xiongba, Emperor Chen, and Wolf Warrior, and said leisurely: "Didn't the three of you also form a fleet of sailors, whether it is a mule or a horse, it is time to pull it out and slip away." Great Xia can open up European routes with an ocean-going fleet, why can't we? ”
Last year, Ouyang Shuo entered Europe with only one fleet, and it has long been rumored that it is a god, which has made countless adventurers worship. Who here doesn't know?
Chun Shenjun is using the method of agitation.
"You mean, open up the Pacific shipping route and do business with the Americas?" Di Chen asked.
"What's not to do?" Chun Shenjun was born in a merchant family, and when he talked about ocean trade, his eyes lit up, "The American market is by no means inferior to the European market, and there is a lot to be done." ”
"If we really want to get through, we can also block Great Xia in turn."
Chun Shenjun is still uneasy in his heart.
Xiongba nodded first and said, "I think I can give it a try." Since the fleet of Liberty City can reach us, it proves that this route is not a problem. ”
"If you want to go well, you can contact Jack directly and ask him to send me a nautical chart. Jack is a proud person, he will never let the old fox dominate, and he will definitely agree. ”
Xiongba's words finally moved Di Chen's heart, nodded and said, "Then it's decided, I'll contact Jack later." Our side also needs to prepare and form a combined fleet. ”
"No problem."
Xiongba and Wolf Warrior both nodded at the same time.
Ouyang Shuo's beating unexpectedly made the [Yanhuang League] go to a different path from the previous life, and the route from China to the Americas had to be opened up at least a year in advance.
August 15, Shanhai City.
In response to Ouyang Shuo's request the day before yesterday, less than two days later, Da Sui sent a high-level envoy delegation to Daxia to discuss free trade.
Yesterday, the Great Sui Embassy in Daxia had officially sent a note to Honglu Temple.
Ouyang Shuo got the report and arranged for Jiang Shang, the first assistant of the cabinet, to be responsible for receiving the envoys, which was considered to have given the Great Sui enough face.
At this point, Ouyang Shuo will not be abrupt.
Inspired by the Great Sui Quadrangular Pavilion, Ouyang Shuo ordered people to build a Quadrangular Pavilion near the royal city, which was specially used to receive envoys from various countries, but the scale was even grander than the Great Sui Quadrangular Pavilion.
It is conceivable that the future of Great Xia will be the coming of all nations.
Therefore, the Sifang Pavilion of Great Xia is not a simple pavilion, but a whole building complex, which is divided into five major areas: east, west, north, south, and middle according to the direction.
The West Garden is the European Pavilion, the South Garden is the African Pavilion, the East Garden is the Asian Pavilion, the North Garden is the American Pavilion, and in the middle is a nine-storey World Building, which is the meeting place of envoys from various countries.
The Great Sui envoys were placed in Dongyuan, which was also the first batch of envoys to be ushered in after the completion of the Sifang Pavilion.
……
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Shang rushed to report on the contact with the Great Sui envoys.
In the imperial study, Jiang Shang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you would never think of who the head of the Great Sui envoy group is. Since serving as the first assistant to the cabinet, Jiang Shang has become close to Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo followed with a smile, "Gao Ying or Su Wei?" ”
"Neither." Jiang Shang shook his head, "It's Yang Guang, the king of the Great Sui and Jin Dynasty." ”
"Poof! Who do you say? Ouyang Shuo didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth.
No matter what Ouyang Shuo thought, he would never have imagined that Emperor Sui would arrange for Yang Guang to lead a team to envoy Great Xia, is this emperor funny?!
For such an important foreign affairs event, an unpopular prince was arranged to lead the team.
Jiang Shang said: "According to the observation of the old minister, Yang Guang took the initiative to apply for an envoy, and I don't know how many means and how many relationships were used. ”
Among the princes of the Sui Emperor, the most special thing about Yang Guang, the king of Jin, is that Yang Guang is a generation of emperors in history, even if he appears in the wilderness, there are a number of famous ministers and generals to follow, such as Yu Shiji, Zhang Jin, Lai Hu'er, etc.
Even the important ministers of the Sui Emperor period, such as Yu Shu, Su Wei and others, also had a friendship with Yang Guang, and they cannot be completely said to be the people of the Sui Emperor.
Of course, some of the military generals under Yang Guang were already from Great Xia, such as Pei Ju, the governor of Somalia Province, Pei Yun, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Interior, and Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, and Luo Shixin among the generals.
As for the fierce general Shi Wansui, he was purely a general during the Sui Emperor period.
Speaking of which, Great Xia and Great Sui still have a lot of origins.
To get back to the point, it is precisely because Yang Guang has someone to follow, and after appearing in Quanzhou, even if Emperor Sui does not like it, Yang Guang can still speak in the current Great Sui court.
"There's no way, there's someone in the court."
This is something that the crown prince Yang Yong can't compare.
Yu Shiji and the others were not fools, knowing that even if they didn't follow Yang Guang, they would be suspicious of Emperor Sui. With the suspicious character of the emperor, he will never reuse them, the former ministers of the Jin king.
Rather than this, it is better to fight for the right to speak.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was not surprised that Yang Guang was able to find an opportunity to send to Great Xia.
Ouyang Shuo was surprised, why did Yang Guang come?
In any case, it has absolutely nothing to do with free trade. At present, the Great Sui is still the Emperor of Sui, and Yang Guang can't worry about it.
"Did Yang Guang say anything?" Ouyang Shuo asked Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang nodded and said, "Yes, he quietly handed a note to the old minister, hoping to talk to the king alone, saying that there was something important to discuss." ”
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed, thoughtful.
Leaning slightly, he said, "In this case, you can arrange it tonight." ”
"No!"
Ouyang Shuo wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Yang Guang's gourd.
…………
It's night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the east garden of the Quartet Pavilion.
In an inconspicuous room in the southwest corner of the East Garden, Yang Guang finally met King Xia.
When the Sifang Pavilion was first built, the Building and Construction Department took into account the need to meet privately with some members of the delegation at some times, so it designed several secret locations.
This room is one of them.
In the evening, according to custom, Jiang Shang represented Daxia to entertain the Great Sui envoys in Dongyuan. During the banquet, Yang Guang came out under the pretext of taking a breath and was quietly taken here by the guards.
"King Xia, it's been a long time!"
Yang Guang is a person who has been an emperor and has an extraordinary bearing.
Ouyang Shuo also smiled and said, "King Jin is okay." ”
Because he was leaving halfway, Yang Guang could not stay for a long time, so as not to attract the attention of other members of the envoy group. Emperor Sui was suspicious, and even if he reluctantly agreed to Yang Guang to lead the team, he also planted a lot of eyeliner in the envoy group.
The two exchanged pleasantries slightly, and Yang Guang went straight to the point and said, "Please also ask King Xia to help me get rid of Yang Yong." ”
Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed, and the secret path was indeed so.
Since learning that Yang Jian's sons had all appeared in Quanzhou, Ouyang Shuo vaguely guessed that Da Sui was afraid that there would be another battle for succession.
Yang Yong and Yang Guang, a pair of rival brothers, will eventually have to fight.
Unlike history, Emperor Sui firmly stood on the side of the crown prince Yang Yong this time, and during the negotiations with Great Xia, Emperor Sui even had the idea of sending Yang Guang to Shanhai City as a hostage.
No one knows how crazy Yang Guang was when he learned the news from Shanhaiwei's secret agent. In short, Yang Guang completely lost confidence in Emperor Sui.
This also made Yang Guang have no room for performance, so he can only rely on external forces.
What Yang Guang can think of is Da Xia, he is very smart, and he knows that Da Xia's last "overture" must have a reason, so he tried every means to get the opportunity to lead the team to Da Xia.
