Eight hundred and nineteenth chapter linkage
"Bacheng!" Dou Wei pointed to Yizhou, "Bacheng is adjacent to our Yizhou, and is in the mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Your Majesty moves the capital here, the three kingdoms of Wu, Nanliang and Nanping will be connected together and can take care of it in time."
"Bacheng?" Liang Kai suddenly coughed several times.
Since joining the East Turkish Alliance and Wu has reached a contract with the King of Yan in private, Wu has had a relaxing life.
But during this relaxing period, the Wu army was not idle.
After taking away Xiangzhou, which Nanliang once occupied, he continued to fight westward and attacked Bazhou, adjacent to Yizhou.
This Bazhou is the smallest state among the twenty-one states of Dasong, with only one county, called Ba County.
There are four mountains on both sides of Bazhou, extending five or six hundred miles in a north-south mountain range. Bacheng is located in the middle of the southern end of the Sidao Mountain range.
The mountains are the natural walls of Bacheng.
But Bacheng is not blocked because Jiujiang passes through four mountains and continues to flow eastward through Bacheng, and can flow downstream through Jiujiang.
Therefore, although Bacheng is not rich in Dasong, it can be ranked among medium-sized cities.
Another very important point is that the Jiujiang River from the section from Bazhou to Xiangzhou has steep mountains on both sides, and the waterway is also very narrow, with the narrowest point being only four or five hundred meters.
As long as you choose a section, set up a fort on both sides of the straits, and shoot from a high place, the King of Yan's fleet will also fail.
If the shipwreck is here, it will be more perfect with the cross-strait artillery.
Bazhou is so easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is also a state controlled by the royal family.
Nanliang naturally refused to let go of such a treasure land.
So after the Jinling Incident, Nanliang has been attacking Bazhou.
But to this day, Nanliang has not taken Bazhou.
When the Wu Kingdom advanced westward, it naturally had to attack Bazhou, but it was also delayed.
On the contrary, after the Xie family surrendered to the Wu Kingdom, they borrowed the imperial edict of the eldest prince and obtained Bazhou effortlessly.
It is because the governor of Bazhou was supported by Xie Duan.
This is equivalent to Wu Guo picking up this cheapness for nothing.
"That's right, it's Bacheng." Dou Wei emphasized again, "Your Majesty does not have to worry about your own safety when he arrives here. Even if I am evil in Nanliang, I am afraid that I will not be able to capture Chincheng."
Liang Kai's eyes gradually lit up.
He once considered Bazhou, but compared to Changcheng, Bazhou is remote and not as prosperous as Changcheng.
Furthermore, at that time, he believed that under Luther's leadership, the 600,000 troops around Jinling could withstand the King of Yan for at least a year and a half.
But unexpectedly, Jinling was conquered in just a few days, which disappointed and worried.
Nowadays, Changcheng is no longer safe, and the safer Bacheng naturally becomes his consideration.
"Brother Dou's idea really coincides with me." Liang Kai laughed, "Just just need to stock up on this Bacheng, and no matter how strong the King of Yan has the ability to conquer the chin city."
Dou Wei took the opportunity to say: "The problem of food and grass is Nanliang, which is naturally not a problem. Yizhou has been a country of Tianfu since ancient times, with a fertile land of thousands of miles and a huge amount of grain. Nanliang, I, is willing to sell grain to the Wu Kingdom at a low price."
On the way he came, Brooke revealed to him that Britain was developing the same musket as the Yan King's army.
In order to resist the King of Yan, Britain was willing to sell these muskets and British field artillery to the tribes.
But since it is for sale, it will naturally cost money to buy it.
According to Brooke, such a musket costs about eighty taels of silver.
One hundred thousand muskets cost eight million taels, which does not include field artillery and auxiliary ammunition.
Although during the Jinling Rebellion, their Dou family robbed a huge amount of wealth worth 70 to 80 million taels in Jinling.
But losing Jingzhou also greatly damaged their vitality, and they had to save this amount of money.
Therefore, the current cooperation is cooperation, and the alliance between the three companies will not delay business.
They cannot give the food and grass that the Wu Kingdom needs for free.
After all, as the British said, they were just temporarily accorded to the three allies under the British and the Ross.
The British and the Ross were the leaders.
The wealth of Wu Kingdom is immeasurable, and it is fair to trade with food and grass for silver.
"I am just thinking this." Liang Kai was happy.
At present, the most common thing in Wu State is gold and silver, but if you can't buy these silver, it's dead.
If you can buy the supplies you need from Nanliang, you will naturally be happy.
Then, Dou Wei and Brooke looked at each other, and Dou Wei talked about Britain's imitation of King Yan's musket.
Liang Kai was even more ecstatic and agreed to buy such muskets.
At present, their muskets are too inferior to those of the King of Yan’s army.
If there are new muskets and British artillery, Bacheng will be even more unbreakable.
"In the future, we will transport muskets and cannons to Nanping through Jiaozhi controlled by the Franks, and then to your Nanliang and Wu through the Nanping. The King of Yan cut off our sea passage, but could not cut off this land passage." Brooke punched the table with a heavy punch, looking confident.
The matter of selling muskets and cannons was also requested by the Governor Bolt.
With such muskets, there is no need for Britain to hide.
It should be exported to the enemy of the King of Yan and cause trouble for the unified process of the King of Yan.
Of course, there is also a very important point.
The muskets and cannons they sold to the Shi tribe are all very expensive.
Normally, it only takes twenty taels to imitate the muskets of the same Yan King army, but they just sell for a high price of eighty taels.
This is equivalent to selling muskets and cannons, and they indirectly plundered the wealth of the Dasongshi clan.
Even if the generals, Dasongshi tribe, failed to resist the King of Yan, they made a fortune in Britain.
In short, in this great sang civil strife, Britain will not suffer any losses, and it will make a big profit.
Tiemu Tower smiles without saying a word.
He knew the British were damning the ghost inside.
When he was in Tubosa City, Brooke explained the matter thoroughly with them and the Ross.
In addition to agreeing to the Ross sphere of influence, Brooke also shared the secret of the King of Swallow Musket with the Ross to show sincerity.
This made Ivan let go of his last bit of defense and decided to act with Britain.
In order to show sincerity, Ivan allowed them to open up a trade channel with India and obtain muskets and artillery from Britain.
On the one hand, after the Rus State imitated the muskets of the King of Yan's army, they could also obtain such muskets and cannons from the Rus State in the north.
But unlike the Dasongshi clan, they only cost thirty taels of silver to buy a counterfeit musket.
Taking this advantage, he looked at Dou Wei and Liang Kai, naturally as if he was looking at a fool again.
But he couldn't show it too obviously.
At present, all forces need the powerful clan to hold back the King of Yan and gain more reaction time for themselves.
Their vitality was severely damaged after the Battle of Beidiningjin.
Although during this period, they recruited many Beidi men over thirteen years old to join various tents, and their troops were restored.
