Chapter 10: Laid out
Compared with the Eastern Slave Empire, the area of the Western Slave Empire is a little smaller, but compared to other countries in the northwest, the Western Slave Empire is an authentic ...... Behemoth!
However, the Western Slave Empire is much more chaotic than the Eastern Slave Empire, and there are many large and small tribes in it, and almost all of them have their own small calculations, so the power structure of the entire country is extremely loose, and most of the energy is spent on internal friction.
In the face of this unfortunate situation, Murong Bazhuo, who had just become a khan, of course, wanted to change very much.
However, it has been like this for hundreds of years, and it is obviously not that he said that he will change, then he can change immediately, if Murong Bazhuo acts recklessly, then he will definitely cause the common dissatisfaction of all the tribes.
At that time, whether Murong Bazhuo can keep his throne and the dominance of the clan he belongs to is a ...... , a very serious problem!
Therefore, it is not only necessary to take it slowly, but also to have a good opportunity.
Murong Bazhuo's luck is very good, not long after he inherited the throne, he immediately ushered in a good opportunity, that is, to unite the two countries of rabbit rice and rabbit mushroom rice...... , attacking the Northern Liang of the Great Sui Dynasty.
However, it is a pity that after nearly a year of fighting, the Three Kingdoms Alliance was crippled by Cheng Yaojin in one fell swoop, causing the Western Fierce Slave Empire to withdraw from Northern Liang in disgrace.
However, this seemingly bad result is also a ...... for Murong Bazhuo , a great opportunity!
Since the country has lost the war, then someone must stand up and take all the responsibility, so Murong Bazhuo is extremely justifiable, and under the banner of accountability, he cleaned up a large number of weak and small tribes, so that the power structure of the entire empire ...... , a little more concentrated.
However, no matter how concentrated it is, it is still the same bird, after all, the West Fierce Slave is indeed super chaotic, and Murong Bazhuo will not be brain-dead, so he will directly clean up half of the tribe.
Therefore, after Murong Bazhuo tasted the sweetness in this matter, he has always looked forward to it so well...... , do it again!
However, the other clan leaders are not stupid, and they will wait for Murong Bazhuo to clean himself up.
Therefore, after withdrawing from the Northern Liang, the whole country immediately issued a beautiful call to resist the war and look forward to peace, which really annoyed Murong Bazhuo...... , there is no temper at all.
However, with the gradual development of the situation in the entire northwest, when the entire Dasui Empire and the Eastern Slave Empire blocked their respective borders at the same time, raising all import and export tariffs to a terrible height, which was equivalent to completely cutting off trade exchanges, the original call for peace in the Western Slave began to weaken more and more.
Why this is so, in fact, is very simple, just a sentence...... , everyone's interests are drastically decreasing!
Before the border was blocked, the import and export duties of Osui were almost zero, and the tribal leaders of the Western Slaves took horses, livestock, medicines, and exotic materials ...... , and other goods sold to the two states of Youzhuo, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of gold coins and materials, so that the people within your tribe can live a comfortable life.
But now, one aha, the customs duty worth two ahamas, which is simply madness...... , shameless to the extreme!
As a result, all the goods of the Eastern Fierce Slave Empire immediately became a sky-high backlog, and it was impossible to sell one in the two states of Youzhuo.
If that's just the case, then forget it, all the clan leaders of the Western Fierce Slave can barely endure it, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the implementation of this mentally handicapped import tariff policy by the Dasui Dynasty will obviously not last long.
Therefore, what really made all the tribal leaders completely unbearable was that the Dasui Dynasty even mentioned the tariff on exports...... , outrageous degree!
If you want to leave the customs for a piece of cloth bought in Dasui, you must pay a tariff that is three times the value of the cloth itself, and the rest of the tea, ironware, exotic materials, and daily necessities...... And so on, and so on, and so on, all of which are the same, and then there is no commodity that is less than three times the export tariff.
Is there any essential difference between this and the open fire fighting for money, obviously there is no difference at all, it is really ...... , all of them are going to be annoyed by the tribal leaders.
As a result, in the face of this weak-minded policy of cutting off trade, a large number of smuggling syndicates began to appear in the entire northwest region.
And among them, a Youyue merchant group that suddenly rose half a year ago is the largest one in the entire northwest region...... , super smuggling syndicates!
Outsiders don't know how big the Youyue Merchant Group is, but ninety percent of the smuggling trade in the entire Northwest Region is all in the hands of this group.
And according to reliable sources, within the Youyue Business Group, there are peerless masters in the Eight Achievements, if anyone dares to compete with the Youyue Group, no matter how powerful the tribe is, the next day, they will all be killed...... , the terrible end of the chicken and the dog not staying.
Therefore, there are many smart people, and they all speculate that in fact, this so-called Youyue merchant group is basically the northwest region of the Dasui Dynasty, and the bigwigs are ...... , just a vest!
However, many people who have seen the Youyue Merchant Group know that most of the armed guards of the Youyue Merchant Group are wandering warriors from various countries, although there are also Spike warriors among them, but there are obviously very few.
Therefore, the rumor about the vest gradually disappeared, and no one mentioned it anymore.
In short, anyway, in a word, the situation in the entire northwest is simply terrible.
In the face of the mentally retarded provocation of the Dasui Dynasty and the deteriorating quality of life of his own clan, all the tribal leaders of the Western Fierce Slave Empire have reached the ...... , to the extent that it is completely unbearable!
Therefore, as the cries for peace slowly diminished, another, completely opposite cry, began to be more and more ...... throughout the Western Slave Empire , shouted.
That is, a strong soldier...... , destroy the rabbit rice empire in the south!
Hey, this is interesting, it's obviously Dasui's mentally retarded tariff policy, which violates the interests of the nobles of the entire Western Fierce Slave Empire, why does the Western Fierce Slave Empire not start a war with the Great Slave Dynasty, but wants to destroy it...... , what about the unlucky rabbit rice empire?
The reason is very simple, in a war with the Dasui Dynasty, the winning chance is only fifty percent at most, but if you go south to destroy the Rabbit Rice Empire, it will definitely be ...... , nine out of ten things!
Not only that, as long as the rabbit rice can be destroyed and all the land west of the Great Sui can be swallowed, then the national strength of the Western Fierce Slave Empire will not only increase greatly, but it will also be equivalent to threatening the entire west of the Great Sui Dynasty in essence...... , all territories.
At that time, if the Dasui Dynasty continued to implement the current provocative and mentally retarded tariff policy, then the Western Fierce Slave Empire would dare to plunder...... , the entire Dasui Youzhou!
Therefore, if there is no chaos within the Dasui Dynasty, and Wukong does not carry out that super mentally retarded military exercise, is it ...... the Western Fierce Slave Empire , won't they attack south?
Of course not, from the day Wukong left Daxing and sent Mu Daoren, Western Buchen and others to secretly leave Youzhou, he had actually made a ...... , throwing bricks and attracting jade, watching the fire from the other side.
Therefore, the Western Fierce Slave Empire wants to pretend to be cowardly all the time, and it is impossible to take a step out of its own country, without any possibility of making any moves...... , fundamentally zero!
