Chapter 651(1/2)
In Wang Chong's view, friendly relations with neighboring countries are of course commendable, but this must be based on reciprocity.
The Sha Kingdom appears to have a good relationship with him, Da Yan, and the mainland is ambitious. It would be fine if he didn't come to give him aid at this time, but he actually wanted to provide assistance.
The key is to threaten without giving aid.
Isn't this clear that I want to make a fortune?
Wang Chong was not a good person, and he had a plan in his mind in an instant.
You want assistance, okay, I will talk about it again and again.
"That's how it seems that the people of your country are living a miserable life. Since that's the case, I will naturally give you some assistance." Wang Chong said lightly.
Some ministers on both sides showed doubts. When did the emperor be so easy to speak?
More often, there was a little indignation. Everyone was playing and making trouble, but when dealing with outsiders, they were consistent with the outside world.
The words of the envoy of the Sha Kingdom clearly threatened. They couldn't figure out what the emperor would do to provide assistance at this time.
"Yelusha, I wonder how many things I brought to me this time?"
"One thousand pieces of cowhide and sheepskin each."
Damn it, I really treat him as a beggar.
Wang Chong said, "Very good, your leader is generous. Since that's the case, I must not be generous and send orders to prepare for 30,000 cattle and sheep and 10 million taels of silver to the Kingdom of Sha to show the precious friendship between our two countries."
"this…………"
Yelu Sha himself was stunned.
I have seen the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty as generous, but I have never seen such a generous person.
No, this is not generous, it is a bad pen!
I was so happy that I thought to myself that after I went back, the leader would definitely reward him heavily.
But on the surface, Yelu Sha, the old world, still showed hesitation.
"Yelu Sha, what else should I say?" Wang Chong said lightly.
"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your gift to our country, but in addition to these, several neighboring countries in our country are eyeing us, so my leader asked the emperor to send a surprise weapon to help."
Wang Chong waved his hand: "Isn't there a hundred thousand soldiers guarding the border? I'll borrow you for three months, how about it?"
Yelu Sha was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."
"But it's okay!" Wang smiled heavily: "Yelu Sha, don't be polite to me. My friendship with your leader is stronger than that of Jin, and I don't need my mother-in-law and mother."
Yelu Sha smiled and said, "Actually, this is just a small matter. It's like this. In recent years, the birth rate of women in my country has been declining year by year. Even men in China cannot find a wife. When the leader heard that all the women in your country are beautiful and gentle, he asked me to ask if he could let ten thousand girls marry into my country......"
"Bang!"
Wang Chong slapped the dragon throne, which scared Yelu Sha: "Emperor..."
Wang Chong's eyelids twitched in anger. This guy was getting more and more presumptuous. He even said the girl who recruited him Da Yan.
If this is known to the people of the world, he will be scolded by the people.
However, this is not the time to get angry.
"Yelusha, I think your proposal is very good. There are indeed many girls in our country. Let's do this, don't have ten thousand. How can 10,000 girls show the friendship between our two countries? 30,000. If it is not enough, just mention it."
"Enough, of course enough."
Yelu Sha was very happy and thought that 30,000 was already a lot. If they continued to add more, their small Sha Kingdom would not be able to support so many people.
"My dear leader Yelusha, on behalf of my respected leader, thank the emperor for his gifts and wishes forever prosperity forever."
Wang smiled and said, "Yelu Sha, don't be polite to me. This is just a drop in the bucket for my Da Yan Dynasty. However, I also have a few small requests, hoping that the leader of your country will agree."
Yelusha immediately stated: "Your Majesty, you have given so many gifts. If you have any requests, please give me all your strength. Our Sha Kingdom will definitely do our best."
"Okay, I'm very pleased after hearing what you said. It's true. I've been fighting recently. You know that although our country is extremely powerful, it's urgent to lack war horses. Your country is a country on the grassland with countless war horses. So if it can, can you give it some?"
Wang Chong has already promised so many good things, so Yelu Sha is naturally hard to say no. Anyway, they make a big profit compared to this.
So he asked respectfully on the spot: "Master, I wonder how many war horses you need?"
"Twenty or thirty thousand, of course, the more the better." Wang Chong said.
"Uh... Emperor, I will go back and report this to the leader truthfully. I believe that with the friendship between the leader and the emperor, he will definitely agree to it." Yelu Sha said.
"It's so good, without further ado, you will set off today and go back to collect the war horses. When you bring the war horses here, I will gather the things you need in your country. I will take them with you when I go back." Wang Chong said with a cheerful smile, thinking in his heart that he would get out of here quickly. Staying here will also waste food to receive you.
After Yelu Sha thanked him, he immediately took people away and went back to report his life.
As soon as he left, the court suddenly became a mess.
Li Mingcai knelt down on the spot: "Your Majesty! You... How could you promise to give so much aid to Sha Kingdom? Our country is now suffering from internal and external troubles. How can we take out so many supplies at once?"
Another minister knelt down: "Emperor, giving 30,000 girls is a major problem, which is very likely to arouse public anger. Please think twice."
"There is too much assistance of 10 million taels of silver. Now the two dog thieves, Gao Yan and Xu Luye, are eyeing our country. If so much silver is out, it is very likely that our country's military salary will be insufficient. Please think twice..."
"Please think twice!"
"The Emperor thinks twice..."
Looking at the kneeling ministers, Wang Chong had no expression on his face and even wanted to laugh.
He did not explain carefully, because there were too many people in the court, and he could not guarantee that all of these people could trust. If the news leaked, he deliberately fooled the Sha Kingdom, and maybe the war horses would not be sent.
So he shook his hands and said, "Don't say much, I'm determined! I'll leave the court."
"Retreat the court..."
He Tai's loud voice came out.
……………………………………………………………………
"Hahaha……"
the next day.
Dayan facing the main hall.
When Gao Yan heard that Wang Chong promised to send so much aid to Sha Kingdom, he smiled and said, "Idiot, it's true that I'm an idiot. I've actually helped so much at once, and I've sent 50,000 troops out, hahahaha..."
"The emperor's plan is indeed powerful. The emperor's son of the Great Yan Dynasty is really vulnerable."
"After the assistance is delivered, we only need to make some noise so that the people can know what the emperor's children they support are."
"Haha, that's natural. At that time, I have the support of the people, and it's the destiny of heaven. I can easily take it down in the Da Yan Dynasty!"
"Congratulations to the Emperor!"
On the other side of Sha Kingdom.
After Yelu Sha returned to the country to report, the leader of Sha was a little unbelievable, but Yelu Sha said it again and again, this was what the emperor said in person.
The emperor agreed to the so-called golden words and jade words, and there was basically no problem.
For this reason, he also inquired and heard that after he returned, the emperor really began to prepare cattle, sheep, and silver, and even arranged for officers and soldiers to go to the countryside to ask who was going to marry.
After knowing this, the leader of the Sha Kingdom was overjoyed.
Although I feel sorry for 30,000 war horses, the benefits I get are worth hundreds of thousands of war horses, and the transaction is cost-effective.
"Yelusha, you have done a good job. Now I order you to take your war horses to the Great Yan Kingdom and bring the aid back smoothly."
"Yes, leader, I promise to complete the task."
Yelu Sha was full of confidence. This time, because he completed his mission well, the leader gave him a lot of rewards.
It took a lot of time to come so many war horses, especially a lot of food and grass along the way, which cost Yelu Sha a lot of brains.
As for Wang Chong, these are nothing to do with him.
These days, I have been studying the terrain of Sha Country, because I will definitely turn against Sha Country later, so I might as well catch them off guard.
The Dayan Dynasty and the Haiyan Empire have been calm recently, and they are probably people who suppressed the Dayan Dynasty court in their territory.
In addition to these things, Wang Chong had another more important thing, building a large ship.
The role of the ship can be said to be the most important at the moment.
Not only can you obtain the resources you need from overseas, but you can also allow soldiers to move quickly.
You should know that whether it is Xu Luye’s territory or Gaoyan, there are troops close to the seaside.
If you can attack them suddenly from the sea, you will definitely be caught off guard.
This is a secret plan. For the time being, Wang Chong will focus on seizing time to build muskets.
At the same time, in order to increase the number of troops, Wang Chong introduced the conscript system.
As long as there is one person in the family who serves in the army, the family can be exempted from tax for three years.
This condition is very tempting for ordinary families. After all, it is not only tax-free, but also money can be obtained when joining the army. Many people have begun to join the army enthusiastically.
The court's expenditure on financial resources has been very large recently, which has indeed made Wang Chong difficult, but the plans in all aspects have been completed.
Now, not only are there money and food, but overseas trade is also extremely smooth. We just wait for the people of Sha Kingdom to come with 30,000 war horses. By then, his cavalry brigade will be greatly expanded.
To be continued...
