Chapter 333 I don’t want to be faced?

Ning Wang is also a clever guy. With a new fief, he did not rush to get a vassal, but instead took out all his possessions and made a lot of money in the stock market.

Just when everyone sighed that Prince Ning had a unique vision and courage, he used another big move.

That is to divide part of the railway bureau's business from the court.

He took the third phase of the railway planned by the imperial court. On the one hand, the railway construction transaction was stable and profitable, and on the other hand, he was to prepare for his own vassal.

Think about it, if you really lead troops to fight in places like Uszang, with mountains and high places, even if you can win, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.

If there is no convenient transportation, whether it is logistics supplies or reinforcements from the court, the problem will be serious.

Therefore, his strategy is not to rush to get into the vassal state and build roads first!

The imperial court's railways were connected to the two capitals. The second phase was built from Nanjing to Jingzhou, and it had already begun.

As long as you extend the section from Jingzhou to Chengdu, and then extend it to the direction of Uszang, then it will be wonderful to take the train to the vassal state?

If the war ahead is together, there is no need to prepare at all. In just a few days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will come directly. How dare you think?

What’s even more terrifying is logistics supply. Now that there is a railway, the front line only needs war, and the supply from all over the country can be transported to you, and it can also consume the opponent to death.

I have to say that King Ning is really strategic.

As long as this railway is built, Uszang will become a treasure.

But others are not fools.

Now the Ming Dynasty is building roads and mobilizing people, so there must be some major moves later.

In response, Uszang also began to assemble troops and gather towards the Sichuan border, intending to put pressure on Mingting.

This is the news that Yu Qian brought back. He inspected the reform of the military camps nationwide. When he arrived in Chengdu, he found that something was wrong there, so he rushed back to the capital.

However, what Zhu Qizhen didn't know was that Yu Qian's first reaction in Chengdu Prefecture was to fight with Uszang.

However, his troops were not strong enough, so he came back to the capital, but he was actually here to move the troops...

Zhu Qizhen expressed dissatisfaction and said, "I built my own railway in the Ming Dynasty, what's wrong with them?"

This is true. Not to mention that Uszang is also the land of the Ming Dynasty. If you take a step back, you have not built the road in your Uszang. Why are you anxious?

Yu Qian replied: "Go back to the emperor, Uszang did not mention the road construction. They have sent someone to submit a letter of state. I think it will be there in a few days. As far as I know, the request they made was that the court had not supported Uszang for too many years, and now they asked the court to give money and food."

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Why should I give him money and food? Did they make any contributions to the Ming Dynasty?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "What I mean, if this matter is not handled well, it will be difficult to end. If you really want to use your weapons, I hope the emperor will prepare early."

Uszang is making excuses now. After all, the Ming Dynasty was building roads at his own home. If you don’t let others build them, you always have to find some reason.

Therefore, they asked for money and food. They knew that the current Ming Dynasty was arrogant and without the restraint of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they would never give it.

Otherwise, I will give you money if you want it. How shameless will I be?

This is why there is a reason to start a war. Although we know that the Ming Dynasty has strong troops and advanced firearms, Uszang is extremely high at an altitude and thin air, so it is difficult for ordinary people to adapt. It is still unknown who will win a battle here.

Geographical advantages are also Uszang's only trump card. Otherwise, it would be even more unfavorable for me to build the railway when the Ming Dynasty built it.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it and asked again: "What do you think?"

Yu Qian was a little confused: "What?"

"I ask you, should you fight this battle?"

"I think... can be beaten!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly: "Do you have confidence in this battle based on what your family means?"

Yu Qian bowed and said, "The old saying goes, war is a bad thing! But some wars are inevitable. Since the implementation of the new policy of the Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty has developed extremely well, but some people cannot stand the good of others. We develop ourselves in order to strengthen the national strength, while others think that they have threatened them, and they have obstructed them in every way, provoked right and wrong, and even made arrogant demands. I think that for such people, we should give a tough response to them, so that they know what the king's army is, the wrath of thunder!"

These words stunned Zhu Qizhen and said in his heart, isn’t this my word?

You said everything, what did I say?

"Actually, I think... I should be cautious about fighting things..."

Yu Qian thought he had heard it wrong, so why are you still cautious?

At the beginning, he ran to Nanjing without saying hello.

As a result, Nanjing was in full swing, and the court knew nothing!

Moreover, I was just a small Uszang. If I hadn't been for the lack of military strength in Chengdu Prefecture, I would have taken it to him on the spot!

When Zhu Qizhen saw Yu Qian in a daze, he continued, "What I mean is... Is there a solution to both sides? For example, it is not necessary to fight, and it can solve Uszang's troubles. If you really can't think of it, it's not too late to fight again."

Yu Qian lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I can't think of any plan to achieve both sides. Unless the court can agree to the other party's request, ask for money and grain, we can avoid war."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen looked dissatisfied and said, "What's wrong with giving them some money and food?"

"Your Majesty, this is not some money and food, it's...face!"

Yu Qian was a little anxious, so the Ming Dynasty naturally didn't care about some money and food, but this was not just some money and food, but the face of the court.

The Southern Song Dynasty occupied a prosperous land in Jiangnan, but because of its weak national strength, it had to pay tribute to neighboring countries for silver and cloth. Although it gained a huge advantage in the trade war, in the eyes of future generations, the Southern Song court had no backbone.

If you win a trade war with others, it means you are smart and others are stupid.

But what should you do when people react and no longer play economic and trade with you, and roll up their sleeves and beat you up?

Without strength, you will always be in a passive situation.

For example, a very famous saying in later generations, "No" and "have but not use" are two different things!

There was nothing in the Southern Song Dynasty. When faced with real swords and guns, they could only be destroyed.

In Yu Qian's opinion, the Ming Dynasty today must not repeat the mistakes of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Uszang was nominally the land of the Ming Dynasty. In theory, it would be better to pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty. Now, it is better to ask for money and food. It is simply outrageous!

Yu Qian's tone was firm and continued, "I think the emperor cannot agree to Uszang's request. Otherwise, where will the majesty of my Ming Dynasty be placed?"
