Chapter 118: The Kui Kingdom War (Continued) 2
At the end of the second year of Tianwu in the Great Wei Dynasty, Yang Kai, the former prefect of Anxi Tingzhou, arrived at the capital of Kui Kingdom for more than half a month. The governor Meditule personally went out of the city to welcome him. There are two purposes for this political visit to Kui Kingdom, one: to meet the current monarch of Kui Kingdom, Lulufu III - Kilang. Two: to talk to the newly appointed governor Meditule.
The two walked around the imperial city of Kui Kingdom. Yang Kai's eyes never left the Kui people who came and went. After the war, he could restore order to such a level in just over a month. This Meditule is very capable. A month ago, the military came to him to ask him for an official uniform or a position of governor, saying that he would send him to Kui Kingdom to the newly appointed governor. At first, he was both confused and angry. What he was confused was that Kui Kingdom had not yet surrendered to Anxi, so why did he say that the governor? What was angry was that Anxi had long been separated from military and political affairs. Why didn't he know about the appointment of a governor in a state? And when will the military headquarters have the right to appoint administrative officer? I can't ask the garrison, so I can't ask why. Since the military headquarters dared to appoint the governor to Kui Kingdom, Kui must have been under Anxi's control, so I just came to Kui Kingdom to take a look.
After wandering around the country of Kui for a long time, the situation among the people has returned to stability. "Mr. Tule, this official uniform is still suitable for wearing?"
Meditule laughed in his heart. How could he not understand what Yang Kai said? He smiled and said, "Mr. Gong, don't be confused anymore. He was originally a disciple of the Beggars' Sect's Monan branch. After reading for a few years, he was a member of Kui. He was assigned by the Commander and helped to take over Kui. This time he came to Kui and took office. He was also specially approved by the Commander."
Oh... So that's it. It's not surprising that Yang Chengyu appointed him. This kid is unique and has a very vicious vision. He has basically no mediocre people in his favourite position. He stopped and looked at Meditule. "As far as I understand, Lord Tule dismantled the support rate of the sixteen generals of the Left Office in the name of the former ruling son of Kui State. I wonder what explanation does Lord Tule have for this matter?"
"Haha! I don't want to answer this question, I just want to ask Lord Gong, do you want this matter to be true or false?"
Yang Kai naturally hoped that this matter would be true. If it was false, it would have a significant impact on the political situation of Kui Country if it was exposed in the future. He shook his head and replied, "No matter whether it is true or false, as long as it is beneficial to me, Anxi, even if it is false, it will always be true. But I still want to ask Lord Tule, what can you do to let Lulufu III announce his surrender to Anxi? You must know that the king is a symbol of a country. Without him, my Anxi government can only be in secret forever. This is very unfavorable to the civil cooperation between Anxi and Kui Country in the later period (xenophobia between nations)."
Meditule did not agree with his point of view very much, and shook his head and said, "Mr. The prefect is not saying this. Our desert countries generally focus on doing business. Merchants are seeking profits and have no strong sense of hatred. Of course, the premise is that they will not infringe on the national interests of our Kui Kingdom. The two countries started a war because of being provoked by the King of Demon North. From the perspective of the people, it was only considered that Kui Kingdom failed to go to war. At most, the compensation will be completed and it will not affect the friendly exchanges of civil caravans among various countries. But if Lulufu III announced his surrender at this time, haha! I am afraid that the ghosts and monsters in the country will jump out and pretend to be ghosts and scare people."
"Oh? Didn't the Sixteenth General of the Left Officer retreat to Beilu City? Why are there still little ghosts in the country?"
Meditule bent down and sat on the edge of the city, looking at the caravans coming and going in the city, with a serious expression, "They are not little devils. To be honest, the Sixteenth General of the Left Official is considered a little devil. These are all historical problems left over from our country. The Sixteenth General of the Left Official is just a small fish and shrimp floating on the water. The real big fish are all under the water. I wonder if the prefect has heard of the Mobei Chamber of Commerce Alliance?"
Yang Kai thought about it and said that it was an organization jointly established by all chambers of commerce in northern Mobei a hundred years ago. The main purpose was to provide funds for the suppression of bandits. However, after the end of the War in the Desert, this organization seemed to have been dissolved. I wonder what this matter has to do with Kui’s internal affairs?"
"Dissolve? Haha! Just kick out some unsavvy chambers of commerce. How can such a huge organization be dispersed? The War of Desert ended, and the Northern Sha court launched a bandit suppression operation and destroyed hundreds of sand bandits of all sizes within two years. What do you Han people say: Cat cats, raccoons, catching mice is a good cat. But what should some mice do if they are pets raised by people? The government asked you to catch mice, but you can't catch them indiscriminately, right? However, it is a cat that cannot reason with you. If the cat raised by the government makes it not catch its own pet, you can only pass by the doorstep to put a piece of meat to make it eat. Pets are the same as humans. Every time they go to your doorstep, you can eat meat. If someone else's cats go to catch your mouse, what do you think it will do?"
Yang Kai was a little confused, "According to what you said, the Mobei Chamber of Commerce Alliance raised a lot of mice? Whoever doesn't obey will steal things from someone's house?"
"Oh..., what can this be done? Which caravan dares not listen to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance? Why did my father promise to send troops to the Kingdom of Goddess? This... is the main reason. He wanted to use the influence of the King of Mobei to dismantle the pressure of the chamber of commerce in China, but unfortunately he failed. The Sixteenth General of the Left Office rebelled, just to let the king see. The Chamber of Commerce in Mobei has the strength to deal with the court of Youkui. The Principality of Bell wanted to kick the Federation of Mobei Chamber of Commerce out of its own country, and the entire Principality was completely large because it wanted to kick the Federation of Mobei Chamber of Commerce out of its own country.
The Chamber of Commerce Alliance controlled 50% of the financial sources of the Principality of Bell. Overnight, all merchants in the principality lost their shipping channels and supply sources. In just two months, the domestic finance was completely paralyzed, with hundreds of bankrupt merchants and countless people wandering on the streets to beg for food. The court of the Principality was pushed to the forefront several times. After several rebellions by the people, the Principality of Bell compromised with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Otherwise, how could the current economic recession in the Principality of Bell be so serious?
After listening to Meditule's explanation, Yang Kai suddenly realized that no wonder Kui's country has not been able to solve domestic problems in the past sixty years from Lulufu II to Lulufu III. It turned out that the economy was controlled. Once it was rectified, a major event would happen in the country immediately. It was really amazing to threaten the Kui's court with inflation and overproduction. Inflation, prices soared, silver is not silver, and even money can't buy things. It would be strange if the people don't live on the streets. Overproduction, prices fell, all the goods were thrown into the warehouse to sleep, and they could not produce goods and lose money. What else could the merchants besides going bankrupt? But he was a little strange and looked at Tule and asked, "Why did I not have this situation when dealing with the merchants in Anxi and Mobei? I have never heard of them being robbed by sand bandits."
Meditule smiled and said, "Haha! Lord Gong asked this knowingly. Your Wei population is over 100 million, so it is not an exaggeration to call the first race in the mainland. In addition, the silk, porcelain, tea and so on that are abundant in Anxi are all exclusive business for them. Only Anxi controls their goods, so where can they control Anxi goods?"
"⊙?⊙! So that's it. These things are only produced by the Great Wei, and even they themselves have high demand. Only Anxika and their source of goods are available. There is no need for Anxi to sell goods. Moreover, the Great Wei has the highest population in the world. At most, it is impossible to make less money. You can eat up all the goods based on the domestic population. It seems that the economic control policy of the Mobei Chamber of Commerce Alliance has no impact on empires such as the Great Wei, the Northern Sha, and the Persia. You can only play with the small desert countries."
Tuller nodded, "Yes! The empires are all territory, population, and have huge military power, so they dare not cause trouble. Otherwise, the one that has problems should be their Chamber of Commerce Alliance."
Yang Kai stroked his beard and said, "That's right, even if Beisha comes forward, he can't stand them. All the pets and rats are wiped out. No wonder you said that if Lulufu III announced his surrender to Anxi, these ghosts and monsters would jump out and scare people. I understand. At present, Persia and Beisha are just in a confrontation, but I, Anxi, are stuck in the battlefield of the Four Kingdoms, and your worries make some sense. I am sure of one thing now, that is, you, Meditule, is the son of Medipov, and this matter is true."
"Haha! If you don't mention this, you just don't know what the prefect has to say about the current situation of our country?"
What do he think? One word "kill" is, but it must be a secret kill. You must take action quickly, ruthlessly and accurately. You must not let them notice it in advance. Otherwise, the finances of Kui State are paralyzed, and Anxi will have to work hard to rectify it. This Kui Snake Gang is an old lackey in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. I don’t know if the boy of the Demon God Cult can free up his hands to do this. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance has many private soldiers, and it is hoped that the Beggars’ Gang will find it difficult to complete such a huge task. "Mr. Tule, if Anxi takes action to secretly clean up the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, I wonder how long will it take for Kui State to withstand the sanctions in the country?"
"I can't stand it for long, and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is omnipresent in the desert. If countries in the northern desert jointly boycott Kui, I'm afraid I can't stand it for a month."
Yang Kai thought about it and shook his head, "No, it's not a month. This Chamber of Commerce Alliance can control the economy of Mobei, but he will definitely not be able to control the safety line."
"What do you mean by sir?"
He had nothing to say, the business road was just a major shift. Find partners again and temporarily withdraw from the Mobei market, which is limited to half a year. In other words, all the caravans in Kui Country must withdraw all the industries in Mobei. In the future, the route of entry will be mainly Eastern countries and security lines. Gradually disintegrating the influence of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance in Kui Country. It is not a good thing to rely too much on them. I don’t believe that Anxi and the Goddess will be able to withstand the economy of Kui Country? The Great Purge in Half a Year later is irrelevant, even if Kui Country is affected, it doesn’t matter. As long as there is no economic regression, Anxi can let go and kill this "business empire". The Mobei mouse Anxi cannot move, but the Modong mouse... Haha! To put it bluntly, Anxi can even smash the mouse cage and throw it into the stinky ditch.
The issue of Kui Kingdom's surrender is put on hold for the time being. The Demon God Cult is investing some funds to recruit desert masters and setting up a branch in Kui Kingdom. Whether the Kui Snake Gang can be destroyed within half a year depends on the strength of the Dongfang hero.
After figuring everything out, Yang Kai stood up, looked at the young man in front of him, and smiled slightly, "Well! Not bad, very good, very good, much better than the incompetent boy in my family."
"Sir Liao Zan" Tule said modestly
"Hahahahahaha... Where did Liao Zan come from? Good is good, Tule... Come back to Tingzhou with me. I will send someone else to Kuiguo. Young people are ambitious. It is a waste of talent just to manage Kuiguona. After returning to Tingzhou, I will give you a third-rank rank, so that you can show your strength in Anxi. How about it?"
Tule shook his head, "Mr. Xie, I just have something to do in Kuiguo. I will not agree to this matter even if I want to keep me here."
"Well, since I am the Foreign Minister of Anxi stationed in Kui, how can I not have a chance? Let the senior leaders of the alliance see, I am Anxi stationed in Kui, sooner or later, I will take over Kui. Stay under the water honestly, I will not care about him, and dare to leak his head out of the water. Haha! I will squeeze all in half a year. Let's go! I will eat at your prime minister's mansion this afternoon, oh! No, it should be the Foreign Ministry of Anxi stationed in Kui."
Tulle was about to take Yang Kai back to the so-called "Ministry of Foreign Affairs", and the guards hurried over, "Sir, something happened in the military camp."
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
"The general took all the rebel wounded soldiers to the concentration camp in the north of the city."
⊙?⊙: "What? Not good, hurry up, go prepare the car and go to the north of the city immediately. Lord Prefect, there is an urgent matter in the north of the city. Let's get on the car first and explain it to you on the road."
Yang Kai knew at his expression that the concentration camp in the north of the city was probably not a good place. He also wanted to know why Xiliff brought the wounded rebels to the north of the city.
...
So what happened in the north of the city? Why did Tule hear that Xiliffen took the wounded rebels to the north of the city, and his expression was like burning his butt? To say in detail, this concentration camp has to start with Lulufu I.
The Kui Kingdom rose a hundred years ago, which means that the Kui Kingdom a hundred years ago was a city country like the small countries in the desert. After the War in the Desert, the Kui Kingdom officially changed the "city" to "king". The road to the rise of each country will be accompanied by bloody storms, which is inevitable. How can you annex and unify without killing? This situation is different from Anxi. How to say it, it is like the Yuchi family eating Yuezhou. There is no surrender, and it is directly swallowed by force. It means that you can't take the initiative to surrender, and your city country must disappear.
As mentioned earlier, a strong country eats a weak country, or a big country eats a small country. It can solve all rebellious forces by force for decades of suppression. But there is another situation. Of course, it is not Wentun like Anxi. Instead, a big country forced some small countries to be kneaded together and formed a new country. During the desert war, a group of military expenditure in the Beisha was robbed by sand bandits (the 20 million taels of gold from the Storm). In the later stage, in order to ensure the absolute safety of logistics supplies, the "Vior Country" was used as the center point and all the surrounding ten small countries were combined together. This means that the current Kui Country was formed after the Beisha Empire kneaded more than ten small countries a hundred years ago. This newly formed country belonged to the Alliance in the early stage and was specifically responsible for the North.
The logistics security of the sand is the main body of the "Vius Kingdom". During the War of the Desert, because they are all for Beisha, it doesn't matter who leads it, but the problem lies in the end of the war. Beisha won, so do they still need to integrate together? After all, the races are different, and no one is willing to continue to let your Viper tribe rule itself. Disintegration? How can Viper state agree? It was finally turned into a kingdom. If you were to let you be independent, wouldn't the efforts he made in the early stage be in vain? So! With the support of Beisha after the war, the Viper state launched a civil war that swept the entire alliance. There was no way, if you didn't want to disintegrate, they could only destroy all those who wanted to disintegrate.
There is no suspense about this battle. In the early stage, Viper held 50% of the alliance's troops, and after the war, with Beisha support, who else could the final winner of this civil war besides Viper? Those who surrendered, Viper gave him a way out. Those who did not surrender, all prisoners of war were taken to the north concentration camp of the city after the defeat. The result can be imagined. Viper strangled no less than seven or eight rebel prisoners of war in the north concentration camp of the city.
Now Xiliffen has also brought the rebel wounded soldiers to the north of the city. Do you need to ask what he wants to do? Otherwise, Tule would not be so anxious. You should know that although the wounded soldiers were prisoners of war, they were also brothers of the Hakui clan. How could Xiliff kill them all?
The explanation of Yang Kai from beginning to end in the car made Yang Kai have nothing to say. There were too many such things in the Great Wei Dynasty, especially during the period of aristocratic wars, where the major aristocratic families fought in a melee, winning and killing, losing or killing, all of them were in the belief that I could not get and not let others get. But now the meaning of Xiliffen is different. The rebels are defeated and fleeing to the border, and the prisoners of war left behind cannot be returned to the rebels. The sixteenth general of the left official killed dozens of his family, and he was just taking revenge. He sat in the car and thought for a long time, "Tulle, Kuiguo should disarmament."
"Well? Why did you say this by sir?"
"There are too many troops in 300,000, and Anxi's troops stationed in Kui Country are only 10,000. I don't want Kui Country to leave too many hidden dangers for Anxi."
Tule thought it was true, "Who would think how many troops do I have to retain in Kuiguo?"
Yang Kai stretched out his finger, "Half, half of the troops must be dismissed, the cavalry retained the main force 50,000, and the infantry retained the main force 100,000."
Nodded, "Yes, yes, to dispel the concerns of the prefect, I will also let Xilifen take to the south of the Mo. There should be no big problem with 50,000 cavalrymen and 10,000 Anxi Black Cavalry stationed in China."
"Haha! It's not 50,000 cavalry, but 50,000 infantry and 10,000 black cavalry."
What does Yang Kai mean? Kui State can only stay in the army, and only Anxi's cavalry stationed in Kui State has 10,000 black cavalry? Is this going to completely get stuck in Kui State? Only defense cannot be attacked, so that it cannot escape Anxi's control, but it also loses the ability to attack Beilu. After thinking for a long time, there is no other way but to agree. It seems that some decision is made in his heart. He looked at Yang Kai and asked softly, "Sir, I want to ask a question. If my Kui clan angers Beisha in the future, will Anxi... be willing to protect my Kui clan?"
This statement has a deep meaning, and it refers to the Kui clan rather than the Kui country. Will it anger Beisha in the future? How can Yang Kai answer? Lord Protector asked him to govern the desert, not to make bold statements. When Tule asked this question, he understood a general idea in his heart that this kid would definitely anger Beisha in the future.
"I have no right to give you an answer to this question, but according to the nature of Lord Dugu, it is difficult to give up everything you have, let alone force him to give up. You just entered Anxi now and don't understand Lord Dugu's style of doing things. If you wait for a long time in the future, you must have an answer in your heart."
Tule was not concerned about it and nodded, "Okay! After the New Year, I will issue a disarmament order, and I will also let him go to the south of the desert. I will also withdraw domestic businessmen from the north of the desert. After the strategic transfer of Kui State is completed, I will personally go to Yuzhou to meet the Lord of the Protector."
...
Can Meditule escape the economic control of the Mobei Chamber of Commerce Alliance? How can he deal with Mobei King in terms of trade routes? Two economic wars, winning either can make Kuiguo soar into the sky after the war. How to win these two economic wars without swords and guns depends on how good Meditule's trading ability is.
(Kui Guozhi came to an end in advance, and turned his gaze back to Anxi to see what happened to the old man when he went to the mainland for the second time.)
———
At the end of the second year of Emperor Tianwu, the second trip to the mainland of Liu Yi, the great patriarch of Anxi, was about to begin.
At the entrance of the Yuzhou Beggars' Gang General Hall, a pair of men and women were standing in the snow.
⊙?⊙: "I'm not traveling to the mainland. What are you doing with you? Is it pleasing to the eye?"
?_?: "I'm happy. If I don't take me there, I will pay back the money. Then I will let Sister Yilin tear it up when I go home from the Treaty of Mobei."
⊙?⊙: "Hey hey hey! No no, girl! Miss! Grandma! You must not mess around. It's not that you won't take you there, but the key is Aunt Hua..."
?_?: "Aunt Hua agreed"
"Your safety?"
"I'm better than you in martial arts. Don't blame me for beating you if you're talking nonsense."
"Oh hey! Beat me? You're a little bitch! Let you have one hand... I've been on the battlefield for so many years..."
Good, before he finished speaking, the blonde queen kicked him on the butt, "I told you to let me have one hand and tell you not to come to me for seven years, and to bully my Goddess Kingdom, and to attract bees and butterflies..." Grandma, the dignified Anxi Dadu Protector was chased by a woman, and he really had no power to fight back. He ran away with his head in his arms! This scene cannot be seen, it is simply terrible.
"Stop, I'm wrong, can't I be wrong? Take you flying, I promise to take you flying, don't beat you, you win, you are the queen, whatever you say is right, you will do whatever you want in the future."
?_?: "Hmph! If I don't give you some colors, I really think I have a good temper? If it weren't for Aunt Hua, I would have beaten you."
T﹏T: "You got it, I'm going to fight you. I can't bear to take action at all, just because I'm afraid that a slap will hit you, so I won't feel sorry for you?"
Shuchan stretched out her hands and "carry me"
Someone ran over and bent down, "Come on! Please get on the horse, lord."
Shuchan lay on someone's back, and it felt like she was back seven years ago. She was very happy to be able to relive this feeling, ^_^: "Xiao Yizi, carry me into the car."
⊙?⊙? The young master has become an eunuch? Alas! Forget it, no matter how I say it, I am sorry for her first, "Yes, please hang out, let's get in the car!"
After seven years, the two finally gave up their past grudges and got together again. It's not easy! It's really not easy! I originally thought that he and the fairy might never have this day in their lives. Unexpectedly, he would have fallen behind and let the fairy let go. This time he really lost. It seems that his mind is still not broad enough and needs to be improved in the future.
...
(Haha! When he went to the mainland, something big happened in Zhenzhou. What happened? Let me tell you next time.)

Chapter completed!
