In Kangrao, the royal city of Shu, in an office on the side of the magnificent parliament hall, an incredibly beautiful woman sat next to Speaker Liu Jing, and the two were chatting and laughing about something.
No one knew the origin of this woman, but she was so beautiful that she left an indelible impression on the waiters.
Many officials who usually boast that they are knowledgeable and have tasted countless beauties, after passing by this woman, frankly accepted the cruel fact that they had no knowledge.
After bringing in two cups of black tea, the waiter, who was so excited just because he said thank you, had just walked out of the door, was asked by several people about the woman in the room.
But he didn't know anything, because he really only dared to take the tea cup in, put it on the coffee table in front of the woman, and then hurriedly backed out after hearing the woman say a nice thank you.
Yes, it sounds nice... He thought about it for a long time, and only such an ordinary word came to mind: that woman's voice was really nice, the kind that made him tremble with excitement.
In the room, seeing the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, Liu Jing coughed slightly and started the topic again: "Our interests are the same, at least in terms of hatred towards the Tang Empire."
After the Shu Kingdom lost a large amount of land in the north, its national strength must have been greatly reduced. Liu Jing also knew very well that he and those greedy and lustful Shu legislators would probably never get back their homeland of Shu in this life.
Being able to serve as the speaker of the Shu Kingdom, Liu Jing is naturally not a fool. Not only is he not a fool, he is also a smart man. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hurriedly plan a visit to the Tang Empire before. If he was really allowed to go to the Tang Empire,
Tang and Shu may be in a much better situation now.
Since Liu Jing is a smart man, he can certainly analyze what role the Tang Empire played in the recent series of turmoil.
Recently, because Chu State has begun to occupy a large territory in the northern part of Shu State, diplomats from the Tang Empire are also operating in Shu State. Idiots still can't understand that the whole incident is not only planned by the Datang Empire, but also definitely approved by the Datang Empire.
.
Therefore, a demonstration against the Tang Empire broke out in the Shu Kingdom - but the effect turned out to be very mediocre, making the people of Shu themselves feel embarrassed.
That's right, the Shu people who took to the streets discovered that their cars were made of parts from the Tang Dynasty Empire, and their houses were made of cement manufactured by the local cement factory built by the Datang Empire Company.
If there were no things from the Tang Empire, they would almost have to return to the era of living like hair and drinking blood: because their past life had been completely penetrated by the technology of the Tang Empire.
You said you want to live in a wooden house? The logging equipment is all produced by Datang Group. You said you want to eat food from the past, then do you use the MSG soy sauce produced by Datang Group?
The machines used to manufacture domestic products in the factories opened by Shu merchants were all imported from the Tang Empire. They had just been purchased at a huge price, and you destroyed them with just one sentence? Are you kidding me?
What's more, boycotting the products of the Tang Empire is in conflict with the already formed global industrial supply chain. As the provider of advanced technology in the world, the Tang Empire is basically the same as wielding a knife in the palace.
There is no difference.
Sophia came to Shu when Shu was troubled by foreign troubles and suffered successive defeats on the battlefield. She had been working secretly, hoping to promote an anti-Tang alliance on the western continent.
However, this kind of activity achieved little results, because the previous anti-Tang alliance itself was defeated, and the Dahua Empire itself was the country that suffered the most losses. Zhao Kai had lost confidence in confronting the Tang Empire head-on.
At the same time, the area that the Tang Empire secretly attacked also happened to be the Great China Empire, so Sophia's activities here have been suppressed by the intelligence department of the Datang Empire. She did not dare to expose it at all, because of the absolute gap in strength.
There, she had no way to reverse it.
Subsequently, the civil war broke out in the Great China Empire, and the Qin State invaded the Shu State. The anti-Tang alliance could no longer be implemented and had to be aborted.
But Sophia still seized the opportunity and came to Shu to seek a more reliable and powerful ally: Shu, who was also placed on the dining table by the Tang Empire!
Sophia heard Liu Jing's words, smiled charmingly, and agreed: "We must unite. All people in the world who oppose Tang Mo and Tang Mo's persecution of the old upper class should unite! We must let Tang Mo
Mo saw that our power was enough to swallow his power!"
Of course she knew that many of the old merchants and old aristocrats in Shu were naturally opposed to the established national policies of the Tang Empire. According to Tang Mo's policy, all the existing old bureaucrats, old aristocrats, old merchants and all the landlords and gentry in Shu were
To be purged and eliminated.
This is intolerable to the Shu State, so by saying this, Sophia is tantamount to uniting the forces of the Shu State that are naturally hostile to the Tang State.
In order to win over Liu Jing, Sophia even used the title "we": "The expansion of Tang State must be curbed. The more and larger areas Tang Mo rules, the more people will accept his political ideas.
It’s bad for us!”
Liu Jing, who was sitting opposite her, also agreed with Sophia's view. He was also very dissatisfied with the way the Tang Empire acted: "The split of Dahua and the invasion of Shu by Qin. These living examples tell us that,
The Tang Empire cannot bring peace, it is chaos and a threat itself!"
From the perspective of the Shu Kingdom, a strong, or at least superficially strong, regional power is a good leader who can maintain regional stability.
The Dahua Empire is a very good "sovereign state". This suzerain state only needs to pay some filial piety, and then it can honestly become a heavenly kingdom, mediate the friction between the younger brothers, and act as a frightening referee.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Its existence should not threaten the existence of surrounding small countries, nor should it have ambitions for territory or population.
But the Tang Empire was not like this. Liu Jing could see that the newly rising Tang Empire was completely different from the decaying Great China Empire. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Mo, had an almost stubborn instinct for expansion and control. He hoped
In order to obtain larger territory, the courtiers of the Tang Empire were more willing to use this method to demonstrate their achievements.
Such an empire is dangerous, and Chu's Nanshan Port is an example: the act of replacing the land you want with the territory of other countries is itself a strong demand that makes surrounding countries disgusted and fearful.
Whether Qin or Dahua, no country in the world is afraid of the Tang Empire. It’s just that the Tang Empire is too powerful. It was so powerful that in the first anti-Tang War, one country single-handedly defeated the entire country.
world.
Although the countries in the Eastern Continent made little contribution to that war, the Tang Empire's powerful combat power indeed terrified all participating countries.
As one of the protagonists of the last war, the Dahua Empire lost a large area of territory and had its spine broken. It has not been able to get back on its feet until now.
The whole world has been "suffering" from the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but there is nothing that can be done. If there is really hope of overthrowing the Tang Empire, I believe everyone will give it a try.
This is also the reason why Liu Jing personally received Sophia: as long as they insist on opposing the Tang Dynasty, everyone is actually a natural ally. Except for people from the Tang Empire, no one in the world likes this country.
In fact, if you think about it, people in other countries may also like the Tang country - more accurately, they like to be Tang people... This is a bit of a slap in the face, so the nobles, landowners, kings and powerful officials of various countries will definitely not
admittedly.
When the two chatted to this point, Liu Jing shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Its technology is too powerful, and we can't get rid of its influence at all! The Shu Kingdom has been trying to find an independent path, but the greed of the Tang Empire destroyed it.
All our hopes."
He thought of the series of farces in the Kingdom of Shu in the past few days and said with emotion: "The Tang Empire even has many secret weapons that will only be used in war..."
This is also another main reason why a new anti-Tang alliance has been unable to be formed: Especially in the last anti-Tang alliance, the Tang Empire took out submarines and torpedoes, which directly defeated the huge anti-Tang alliance fleet.
At the same time, they brought out advanced aircraft and tanks, and pressed the seemingly incomparably powerful Dahua Empire to the ground.
Who can guarantee that in the next war, the Tang Empire will not come up with some new gadgets, and once again let all the countries in the world taste the taste of failure?
Therefore, even if they colluded secretly, an anti-Tang alliance could not be formed openly. Because no one wanted to become a tribute to the powerful military strength of the Tang Empire.
After all, many of the recent rumors about the Tang Empire are based on both the nose and the eye: some people heard the sound of dragon roars on the sea near Dragon Island; others claimed that they had seen the Tang Empire in places far away from the island where airplanes were unlikely to appear.
airplane.
In short, many countries speculate that the Tang Empire is manufacturing new war weapons on Dragon Island, and they do not want to be the first target of these weapons.
How many times have you thought you bought new equipment, thought you had evened the gap, and then were defeated by Tang Mo?
From breech-loading guns to breech-loading cannons, from airships to airplanes, from cars to tanks, the Tang Empire has recently come up with missiles and radar equipment, and even used ultra-long-range missiles to attack the capital of the Dahua Empire...how many times
Already? I’m afraid even fools don’t believe that the Tang Empire has no hidden tricks.
