Sun Ke and Ye Qing walked side by side. They got on the royal chariot and entered the prince's mansion from the northeast of the city. Seeing the ministers and guards greeting them, Sun Ke ordered the ministers behind him to go to the main hall first. He waved and said: "You go to the main hall and wait while I wait."
I’ll say a few words to the King of Han along the way—you will accompany me to protect him.”
"Yes, I will spare you the trouble." A guard general responded, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of guards dispersed far away.
Warm spring is coming, and there are green flowers along the way. Ye Qing and Sun Ke get out of the car and take a walk in the garden. The flowers are in full bloom at this time, and they are blood red in the sun. There are only butterflies and bees, but there is no sound except them.
"King of Han, I have received the notice from Qingmai." Sun Ke was a little dazed, looking at the scenery for a long time, looking at Ye Qing and said.
Ye Qing smiled and glanced at Sun Ke: "I have also been informed by Qingmai. This alliance is not so much promoted by me as it is the integration of Qingmai. This is the general trend. You and I are both Qingmai princes.
Smart people, if you have anything on your mind, we are here, so you might as well say it directly."
"You must have had the same intention when you dismissed the ministers just now - Qingmai is already declining, and internal disputes should be exposed as little as possible in front of the ministers and outsiders.
Sun Ke paced and thought, and finally felt that instead of talking in circles, it would be better to speak directly, so he sighed: "The Qingmai has been declining for a long time, and it is rare to have a hero like the King of Han. It is natural and imperative to form an alliance. Since the unification of the King of Han
I am ready for Donghuang, and I am willing to accept the King of Han as the leader of the alliance."
"Oh?" Ye Qing suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with surprise: "Sun Hou is willing?"
Sun Ke stared at Ye Qing with a cold expression: "I don't want to, but I have to listen. As soon as the King of Han ascends the throne, the Qing court will follow. Although it is not an order from the emperor, everyone can see the meaning."
"Sun is a member of the Qing court, so he can't resist, but that's all. You can be the leader of the alliance, but you can't call him a minister. If you want to call me a minister, the King of Han will unify the nine states and receive the destiny. At that time, I will call myself a minister, and I will kneel and kowtow three times.
, offer this Qingzhou”
"Refreshing, what a hero." Ye Qing smiled: "With your words, everything will be easy to talk about."
"The main hall is in front of you. You are the master, please go first."
Sun Ke no longer hesitated and stepped forward.
Went in in the morning and left in the afternoon. Ye Qing came out and returned to an elegant courtyard. It was still some time before the night banquet, so he could take a rest.
Qianqian couldn't leave Donghuang, so she didn't accompany her. She was accompanied by Cao Baijing. She didn't appear in the men's meeting just now, but accompanied by Liniang, she had a very happy conversation with the two immortal ladies of Qinghou. At this time, there was no one around.
She turned around and asked, "How was the conversation with your husband?"
"The alliance has been roughly negotiated. Sun Ke expressed his willingness to support me as the leader of the alliance, and also agreed with trade connectivity. Both key goals have been achieved, but when it comes to deeper military and political cooperation, the other party has some concerns... It's normal. Change it to
I will also be worried."
"Look at the specifics." Ye Qing pointed his fingers, and Cao Baijing saw a dragon roar, and yellow gas emerged from the void. The yellow gas gathered into a ball, which was very good. It was being absorbed by the green dragon, and it was slightly larger.
"Is this the spirit of alliance?" Cao Baijing was a little surprised: "It seems that there is a county, or most of the county is as big as this."
"It's almost the same. Although the leader of the alliance is not a monarch, the order is strict and there are distinctions between top and bottom. Since Sun Ke recognizes me as the leader of the alliance, he wants to offer his luck, which is almost the amount of a county."
"This is not just Qi, but also actual people's hearts, influence, orders, etc."
"But no matter how much it is, it will be difficult."
Ye Qing smiled as he spoke. The subtext behind the so-called heroes cherishing each other is - they all rose up at the same time, and no one knows who is who.
"In fact, in my opinion, it is good to be able to finalize the position of alliance leader, but it is still unrealistic to go further..."
The newly born Han Kingdom is now vast and sparsely populated. The total population of Yingxiang is only 30 million. It has just reached the passing line of a great country and can be compared with Zhang Weicun who unified Xiaoxiang and restored the ancient country in the previous life.
But Ye Qing now has a higher standard of vision and no longer bothers to compare with Zhang Weicun who has retreated to a corner of Xiaozhou: "I feel that I am far behind the direct population of Chu State of 40 million and Wei State of 60 million - Chu Wei
In recent years, I have not been idle, and I have quietly and peacefully integrated some small vassal states that have been married for generations. The population of each country has increased a lot compared to the past. This is the benefit of having full wings."
"The five meridians on the wings of the vassal state have their own strengths and weaknesses. Excluding the black meridians who do not participate in the struggle for the dragon, I will not talk about the yellow meridians of this generation who are the leader. The remaining white meridians and red meridians are much stronger than the green meridians. The Northern Wei and Southern Chu are the inheritance
The great vassal state, which lasted for more than a thousand years, had profound influence and broad radiation. Followers gathered at every call. There were a large number of vassal states in the north and south. They opened their markets, raw material production areas, garrison rights, and responded to edicts to expand these spheres of influence.
It will be even greater if the population luck is also taken into account based on the draw ratio.
Ye Qing found that this was the highly condensed voice within his own lineage - such as the traditional dominant position of Chu State. Although the King of Chu in his previous life was a loser, Zhang Weicun, who unified the two states of Xiaoxiang and restored the power of the ancient country, could not be shaken for a while.
King Jingzhuang of Chu seems to be very popular in this world. Ye Qing plans to let Zhangwei Village develop southward to create obstacles for Chu State, but it is hard to say how effective it is. It can only be said to be a nail in the road.
"Compared to Qingmai, Weihu thinks he is a standout. Unfortunately, the strength and qualifications of the newly established Han State are still weak. The immortal sects of the East China Sea Qingmeng can be peacefully integrated, but without historical precipitation and time, it is impossible for Qingmai along the coast of the mainland.
The princes bowed their heads and obeyed orders... The princes of the coastal states were not Qingmuzi who was born in a fairy sect. He developed his own dragon energy and used his power for his own use. He would not leave his master alone and sell his company at a low price to work as a waiter for others.
The principle of receiving salary based on people’s faces.”
Cao Baijing's eyes flashed when she heard this. She has an independent personality, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. In fact, if she were not a childhood sweetheart with Ye Ye, she would be more sympathetic to this independent development in her heart. But now that she is married and follows her husband, she is standing in the interests of her husband.
Thinking: "If the price offered is high enough, it can be negotiated, right? It is difficult to start a Qingmai Dynasty. It attaches great importance to internal coordination and resource concentration. The husband has received the highest priority of resource tilt. They will not feel that it is probably
Waiting for price?"
"Well, Sun Ke tested my voice and heard me say that there has been a lot of infrastructure construction in the East Wasteland recently and there is a shortage of resources. He said that he can provide full support and cooperate well on the other side of the sea... By the way, he can earn more heavenly merits for himself and try his best to achieve success.
Xianhou... I have made it very clear at this point."
Ye Qing said with a wry smile: "Actually, the struggle for supremacy between great powers is the same as the strife of capital. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. If you don't sell it cheap, you have to sell it expensive. The problem is that our own population in Han State is larger than theirs.
If it’s not twice the size, where’s the starting price?”
Cao Baijing thought about it and said: "If we can't breed in captivity, we can only breed in free range first... Anyway, we are all our own people, the good meat rots in the pot, we can slowly transition and wait until we have money to talk about it... And I always feel that the heaven is split."
Cai Chao Tianxia also hopes to cultivate a large number of Immortal Lords as soon as possible, and will not be too appreciative of such early annexation..."
Ye Qing nodded in agreement, annexation is never easy.
The first is the vassal state in the Eight Wastelands - the habit of outward expansion left by the Five Meridians Immortal Dynasty. Living in a turbulent new area, these pioneers risk their lives to develop and help the world digest new resources until
After maturity, it was merged into Neizhou.
Unification is the rule of the Nine Provinces, not the rule of the Eight Desolations. Even Chu, Wei, and Cai dare not say that they have the power to abolish vassal states, unless the early Chu State was destroyed by natural disasters, or the Cai Dynasty rose to a new state like the previous one.
During the dynasty, the originally remote and wild Cai State was now Caizhou, one of the six states in Xiaxi.
The second type is to leave the newly established princes in Kyushu. These are in line with the rules of fighting for dragons and annexation. However, now is the beginning of troubled times and there is no fierce annexation. The conflicts between the lines are greater than the conflicts within the line, and the more important thing is with the
Conflicts in foreign lands and the lifting of the ban on civil war caused even the Cai Dynasty in its prime to lose its temper. Ye Qing didn't think he dared to annex it by force. This was two different things from beating up the Qing prince's kid in Dongzhou.
The main purpose of Heavenly Court's suppression of the Cai Dynasty was not to allow direct sweeping. It should be to cultivate a group of immortal princes through the yangization of the earth in various states, the mainstay of the immortal kings. Until this strategic goal is achieved, it will not support the destiny of each prince.
The great changes have provided more or less guarantees, and green channels for rapid promotion have been opened. The civil war ban protects them, the seeds of the Immortal King.
On the one hand, the security value of the caves in each state is very important. If there is another turmoil like Xiangzhou Xiatu, where the old and new dynasties alternate, and the emperor of the old dynasty betrays and moves to other areas, not every state prince will be able to do the same.
Press down easily.
Ye Qing estimated that only after being fully enlightened and basically achieving the rank of Immortal Lord, he would allow a slightly gentler merger to promote the birth of stronger Immortal Lords among the various states and allow the better first-line Immortal Lords to become Immortal Kings faster, but a direct civil war would definitely
Not allowed - at least within Kyushu.
"But Old Qingzhou is the largest Qingmai power state. The population area of other states is smaller than that of Old Qingzhou. Sun Ke asked me to be the leader of the alliance. The other states include Jiangzhou, Ezhou, Sangzhou, Duzhou, Jizhou, and Tangzhou, one by one.
As ordered."
"The success of the Seven-State Alliance has actually given me the power of one more state. The overall formation of the Daqingmai District with a population of more than 60 million has greatly increased the power of Qingmai."
"And I must also shoulder the responsibility of improving and protecting this Daqing District."
"I think Qingmai will get a big piece, and I will get a small piece. The other princes will pay more, but they will get some benefits. The so-called neither increase nor decrease."
"But these are really the icing on the cake. Although they are not without benefits, their development is limited. If you want to become an Earth Immortal, you still don't have enough resources, which forces you to turn your attention to the earth..."
Having said this, Ye Qing shook his head and smiled, and refused to continue. This was Sun Hou's territory after all, and it was not very appropriate to talk about secrets.
Cao Baijing couldn't help but smile and pursed her lips: "My husband got an advantage and acted like a good boy. He got the position of leader of Qingmai Alliance out of thin air, and gained the luck of most of the state to one state out of thin air. This is already Qingmai's full help, don't you think so?
satisfy?"
"If you hadn't run the youth system and had a great future, would you have been so supportive?"
"But here's the problem. The establishment of the Qing system is an overall matter. There are seven states with princes, and the Qing system cannot be established... There are princes in the actual counties of Xuzhou, so how can there be a Qing system?"
"Now I get some advantages, but I also have a burden. This test is still difficult." Ye Qing said with a bit of depression. Although he did not have Qingzhi, he could still be industrial, but he was not as handy anymore.
