bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 260 Isolation
"Blood Harbor."

The short words shook Han Dongwen's eardrums, he subconsciously grasped the sleeve robe, and then slowly let go.

If he was not familiar with the situation and power structure in Simeng, and had to explore step by step, there must be some other content that Han Dongwen is familiar with and does not need to make up lessons.

From the perspective of his original player in West Asia, the original history of the country of Simeng is not complicated.

King Plague was in power, and power fell apart. Simeng, which was already one of Taka's self-evident vassal states, fell into chaos together with other countries in the world after Taka's split.

Compared with West Asia, Simeng was closer to the south at that time, especially Haizhou, which was the main port, was originally "co-defended" by Taka garrisons, maintaining trade routes with other countries.

The main target of Taka's "co-defense" is the country that cannot be called a country, the bloody port, a land of no man occupied by rampant pirates.

The blood port pirates who were originally afraid of Taka were strong. Although they could not be compared with Taka, they still posed a considerable threat to Simeng during the period when Taka assisted in the defense.

And since Taka officially split and withdrew its garrisons from various countries, Xuegang was the first to be stabbed into Simeng's ribs.

Afterwards, the divine light descended, the West Asian Church took power, the State Church Knights invaded, and Simeng suffered from the enemy.

It is power chaos, retreating steadily, and West Asian players entered Simeng as one of the troops.

Then, the country is no longer a country, and the three divisions are each in their own place. The National Military Division leads the troops to retreat to Youzhou and abandons Siyang. , as if preparing to play a new Simeng.

All that was left was Chi Hanqing who had been abandoned by the military commander, an empty palace, a lieutenant of Xiubu who stayed in the palace for some reason, and a panic-stricken king.

Simply put, none of them are good birds.

"That's right, West Asia has sped up because of me, what about Blood Harbor?"

Han Dongwen thought for a moment, only to feel that he seemed to have touched the pages of the original history for a long time. He tapped the table and said:

"Xuan Taishu Pavilion old man Wen Yongxing, return to the palace immediately."

------

Wen Yongxing came very quickly.

When he rushed back to Taishu Pavilion, Han Dongwen was already sitting in front of the desk, and had a rough look at the brochures related to the business groups with the blood port background in recent years.

The bloody port is not a country, but it naturally has a ruler. If it was just a swarm of rats, it would have been wiped out by the countries on the route long ago.

The small country couldn't touch it, and Taka didn't ask for it, so Blood Harbor was no different from a real country. Its upper echelons managed trade through the business group's hide, basically equivalent to envoys.

"I see Your Highness."

Wen Yongxing stepped into the pavilion and bowed his hands in salute. Han Dongwen raised his finger and pointed to the chair in front of him as a seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhong Lilin beside him helped Wen Yongxing to sit down, the elder Ge looked down at the folding paper on the desk, and immediately understood Han Dongwenxuan's purpose of returning to the palace.

"Your Highness, I am discussing with the State Finance Department about the acceptance of the voyage led by the Mianjiang Merchant Group. After your Highness approves, ships from various countries can enter Haizhou Port to pick up and drop off overseas Chinese."

Wen Yongxing was worried that Han Dongwen would blame him for not reporting it immediately, so he quickly outlined the current arrangement:

"Except for West Asia, a total of fourteen business groups from the Three Kingdoms have asked Simeng to open the Haizhou port. I am afraid that the official letter will be sent to the palace in a few days. If His Highness approves and lends a helping hand, a decision will be made in two days."

Han Dongwen was silent for a moment and said, "What do you think, teacher?"

"His Royal Highness, since the war between Simeng and West Asia has started, it is reasonable for businessmen and foreign envoys from other countries to feel uneasy. Such a request is not outrageous. Normally speaking, they should agree to cooperate."

"yes……"

Han Dongwen rested his chin on his right hand, and asked again: "Withdraw now, come back after a short break?"

"It must be so. After all, he is a merchant, and he is hiding from the chaos of war. There is nothing wrong with it."

Han Dongwen nodded, closed his eyes and meditated slightly.

Zhong Lilin, who was sitting in front of him, looked at Wen Yongxing, and even his panting became much quieter unconsciously.

What is His Highness thinking?
From the very beginning when they were surprised that His Highness was thinking, until now, they themselves have not realized that they are guessing His Highness's thoughts, and gradually they also regard His Highness's thoughts as potentially valuable insights.

Although the matter of the stranger was ordered by Prince Gao, it was also said by His Highness after all, which is enough to be an excellent proof.

"Hiding from Zhan Luan...it doesn't make sense."

Han Dongwen opened his eyes: "This is not an evacuation. If I'm thinking correctly, someone is taking the lead and there are other plans behind it."

Wen Yongxing's expression didn't seem to be surprised after hearing this, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he took a deep breath: "What His Highness said is not unreasonable... In the eyes of the old minister, this time—"

"Please ask the teacher to allow the students to finish."

Han Dongwen interrupted Wen Yongxing's words in a rare way, and continued: "Foreign envoys are hiding from the chaos of war, but at present, Simeng, why is there any chaos?"

He raised his hand all the way to the north: "Simeng's righteousness to suppress the rebellion for the friendly country is a great move, and there is no reason for West Asia to invade my Simeng, let alone a foreign envoy, even the people of Simeng did not follow the wartime Where does the chaos come from when officials tax the government?"

"And their way of acting is almost as if West Asia has already entered Simeng. Naturally, it is unreasonable!"

Han Dongwen supported the table and stood up: "Has Simeng sent troops to the foot of Bailan Mountain, has it been announced to all countries, in order to help the Grand Duke fight against the rebels in West Asia?"

Zhong Lilin nodded and replied: "Your Highness's imperial edict has naturally been complied with."

"Then they know that Tilda is not in West Asia."

Han Dongwen's expression became a little dignified: "Most of the combat power in West Asia is the Grand Duke alone. Without the Grand Duke, ordinary people must think that the West Asian rebels are definitely not the opponents of the Simeng Rebel Army, isn't it so?"

He picked up the booklet and slapped it with the back of his hand, causing the paper to rattle and rattle: "They should have come to congratulate the widow at this time, but now they say that Zhanluan is going to withdraw. !"

Wen Yongxing took a deep breath, stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Highness is holy!"

He went to IFC to talk, what can he talk about?
If it was such a simple matter of opening Hong Kong and letting people go, how could there be so much talk about it? Naturally, there is something strange behind this matter, and it needs to be carefully considered just now.

Now, there is no need to tell the truth, His Highness has already seen through this layer by himself.

The progress of this student has made great progress, which really makes the teacher very gratified.

"People can't let go. When the battle is approaching, withdrawing people is a sign of breaking the relationship."

Han Dongwen sat down again, his tone can be described as decisive:

"It's by no means that everyone wants to leave all of a sudden. Whoever takes the lead has a plan. The plan starts from the withdrawal of the envoy at this time. It is a vain attempt to isolate and divide and harm me!"

"Your Highness, what do you mean by the Mianjiang Merchant Group, or that Blood Harbor has been linked with West Asia?"

Zhong Lilin also understood, and hurriedly asked.

Han Dongwen nodded, paused for a while, and then shook his head lightly: "There may be a connection, maybe you want to fish in troubled waters, this needs to be investigated again, but if West Asia dares to take the initiative to invade Bailan's border at this time to cause chaos on the border, then we will It is enough to show that there is already an alliance in West Asia. When the time comes, we will be kicked into the house, and we will naturally be passive in the matter of opening the port and releasing people. At that time..."

"Your Highness, there are people!"

Halfway through Han Dongwen's speech, Zhong Lilin, who had been fascinated by the sound, suddenly raised his hand to protect Han Dongwen behind him, making a silent gesture.

After a while, he recognized the person outside the door, and the right hand protecting Han Dongwen relaxed and let go of his guard.

Almost at the same time, a familiar voice came from outside the door:
"Your Highness, Director General Tantai is in a hurry, please review this booklet."

Before the words fell, Li Zai's figure had already walked in from outside the Taishu Pavilion, holding a black silk bound booklet in his hand, with a rare and serious expression:

"The Knights of the State Religion of West Asia crossed the border with troops, and Wei Wuyue, the head of the Department of National Law, died in battle. Please approve the increase of troops in Tianying City!"
