The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 543 Watching with eager eyes
Although Liu Zheng looks gentle and talks little, it does not mean that he is a fool.

On the contrary, Liu Zhi was actually very smart, and no one taught him anything. Most of the wisdom he learned from reading books was his own.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

After spring arrives in South Vietnam, the weather gradually starts to get hotter.

At this time, the South Vietnamese court was like the weather in South Vietnam, and people's hearts began to get hot.

In particular, I heard that the military movements of Sichuan, Sichuan and the Western Region Allied Forces suddenly began to move south.

At first, they analyzed that these two countries were unable to attack the northwest positions for a long time. After all, although the Han Dynasty was now behind, their defense projects were still impregnable. Every step to capture the Han Dynasty's city would require a heavy price.

The political and cultural center of the Han Dynasty is in the north, and it is relatively easier in the south, especially the southernmost tip of the Han Dynasty.

But it's meaningless. To put it bluntly, if these lands are captured, they will be attacked from both sides. There are Han people in the north and South Vietnam in the south.

In this way, their geographical location will be very dangerous, so in the eyes of the old South Vietnamese Prime Minister, the general target movements of these two countries will be in South Vietnam.

In this case, how can they not be afraid?

Although South Vietnam had enough courage to drive away the Han army, it was because they understood the chaos within the Han and knew that the Han did not dare and did not have the financial support to attack South Vietnam, so that they could sit back and relax. If it were not for the sluggish economy of the Han, they would definitely not dare Drive away the Han army at will.

But this does not mean that South Vietnam's military strength is very strong. On the contrary, they are still relatively weak.

After Wei Ning, Wei Qing and others arrived in the Northeast, this small city in the Northeast gradually prospered, and South Vietnam also benefited from this. They only collected taxes in this small city in the Northeast for three months, and they had already almost surpassed the economic tax revenue of half the country.

It can be seen that under the operation of Weining and Sang Hongyang, this city's economy has developed rapidly.

But problems also arise.

Such huge economic benefits will inevitably make other countries jealous.

That's why the Western Region Allied Forces and the Sichuan-Sichuan barbarians are now targeting South Vietnam.

The entire South Vietnamese court was silent. The Ministry of War was analyzing whether they could block the military invasion of the two countries. After deducing for a long time, they came to the conclusion that the possibility was slim!
Even if we rush to build fortifications now, there is still not enough time.

The entire court suddenly fell into panic. Zhengxi ordered that these news be completely blocked and not disclosed to the outside world until a countermeasure was found, so as not to plunge the domestic people into panic.

After all the ministers withdrew, Zhengxi left the old prime minister of South Vietnam alone and asked, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

If the old minister of South Vietnam existed, he would have said it in the court meeting long ago. How could he hide it? He sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty... I am ashamed, I am ashamed!"

Zheng Xi shook his head and said, "Old Prime Minister, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter is really difficult for us."

The old Prime Minister said sadly: "This crisis is the most difficult one since the founding of our country. If we do not handle it well, there is a high probability that the country will be in danger of collapse."

"Your Majesty, why don't we... we attach ourselves to the Western Region?"

"I can personally go to the Western Regions to discuss cooperation with the kings of the Western Regions and pay tribute every year."

"With their protection, even Sichuan barbarians would not dare to invade us again."

As for the Han Dynasty, they have no hope. In the past, when the Han Dynasty was strong, they were dependent on the Han Dynasty. At that time, no country dared to have any evil intentions towards them.

But now the big man is no longer able to protect them, and they have to find another strong backer.

Zheng Xi shook his head and said: "The Western Regions are different from the Han people who value credibility. They are actually cunning and have no credibility at all."

"Taking a step back, they may not agree to us. As long as they conquer our country, they will still have huge wealth. Why choose such small profits?" It is not easy for small countries to survive. They basically seek development in the cracks. This is a small country. of sorrow.

Zhengxi rejected the old Prime Minister's proposal and waved his hand: "You go back first, I will think about it later."

"We cannot give in. If we give in once, there will be countless times in the future. Countless more excessive demands will follow, and we cannot cope with it."

"As long as we repel them and let them know that we are not easy to mess with, they will not dare to take any chances with us."

Although it is difficult, Zhengxi will give it a try even if he risks the fate of the country.

The old Prime Minister sighed deeply and left the palace helplessly.

Zheng Xi pondered for a long time, feeling helpless and tired. It was not easy for a woman to conquer this country. In the process of protecting the country, Zheng Xi had to deal with many power seizures, assassinations, and coups one by one.

Now he has adjusted the political team to his satisfaction, and almost the entire court is used for the expedition to the west.

However, the sudden crisis still left her at a loss as to what to do, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously.

Zhengxi seemed to have thought of something, Weining!

Although Weining didn't have many soldiers and horses, and she would definitely not send them for her own use, she just wanted to give it a try and hear if Weining had any good suggestions.

Zheng Xi thought about it for a while again, then asked the palace to pick out some exquisite gifts for her, and then walked towards the northeastern town in casual clothes in a carriage.

When Zhengxi arrived in the small northeastern town and found Weining, Weining was a little surprised. Zhengxi had never been here before, so there was nothing surprising about it.

What surprised Weining was that Zhengxi came in casual clothes.

He looked at Zheng Xi in confusion, and seeing her downcast expression, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Does King Zheng Xi have anything to do with me?"

Zhengxi nodded and handed the gift to Weining. Weining was not polite and told him to accept it and took Zhengxi to the middle hall.

Zhengxi said straight to the point: "We have detected that the Western Region Allied Forces and Sichuan Sichuan Barbarians may want to invade South Vietnam."

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment, but he quickly figured out the key.

It's because of myself.

If they hadn't brought up the economy of this area in South Vietnam, these two countries would not have thought of it.

Because South Vietnam was barren, the gains outweighed the losses by defeating it, and the other side had always looked down upon it.

But with the development of South Vietnam's economy, the other side began to covet South Vietnam's rich economy. In a certain way, South Vietnam's current crisis was also caused by Weining.

Wei Ning signaled Zheng Xi not to worry yet and asked, "Tell me carefully."

Zhengxi informed Weining of all the movements of the two countries, and then informed Weining of the results of the military deduction.

My lips are dead and my teeth are cold!

Weining needs to develop his power in South Vietnam, so no matter what, he must ensure the security of South Vietnam who is conquering the west.

He pondered for a while and then said to Zheng Xi: "Your Majesty, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
