Chapter 1787 is nothing more than to be concerned about influence
As King Jiang Hui of Qi pointed out the names of Wei, Zhou, and Renji countries, a group of confused princes lit up their eyes.
The vast ocean between the Tang Dynasty and the Da Shang Dynasty was called the South China Sea and the Da Shang Dynasty. No matter what the name is, the area of this ocean is actually only a circle smaller than the Pacific Ocean in the Wuling era.
The most powerful and geographically located island is of course a super island like Penglai Island, which is a little larger than the British Isles on Earth.
However, its location is also in the middle, almost the same distance from the Da Shang and the Tang Dynasties. The first people who came out of exile from the Da Tang or the Da Shang to arrive was definitely not Penglai Island.
The archipelago closest to the Tang Dynasty, with the largest area of only similar to the winding islands on the earth. In addition to dozens or hundreds of smaller islands around it, a country called Wei is formed. Wei is close to the Tang Dynasty, which is the island country that has been bullied the most by the gentry and nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
In the past few hundred years, commerce and trade were not so developed and navigation technology was not so outstanding. The many gentry and nobles sitting on the land were difficult to touch their interests on overseas islands. However, with the development of commerce and technology in the past two or three hundred years, the world also had the style of the era of navigation.
The Weiguo Islands are the private lands of the gentry and merchants in Jingzhou in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty. The numerous grains, gold, silver, gems, and fishing and hunting resources produced on the islands were occupied by the powerful gentry and large capitalists in Jingzhou.
The situations of Jingzhou in the Tang Dynasty against the South China Sea and the Yangzhou King of Parliament were targeted at the East China Sea of the Tang Dynasty. The vast sea border in the east of the Tang Dynasty was connected to the continent where Rome was located. Among them, not only the island countries established by the Chinese seedlings, but also some kingdoms formed by white Romans wandering.
The current situation of Wei State is similar to that of Ying State before the establishment of the Daqi Dynasty. All the citizens, including the nobles and gentry in the kingdom, were private lands and back gardens exploited by the Tang Dynasty.
However, it would be too difficult for Wei State to be independent and to create a new world like Jiang Renmei, the former ancestor of Qi State...
I don’t mention anything else, just say one thing. With the current transportation conditions, the powerful and powerful gentry in Jingzhou of the Tang Dynasty sent a private fleet to Weiguo. It only takes more than ten days at the fastest, but to Qiguo? At least two or three months, it is still smooth in the sea and with the assistance of the monsoon, it can be so fast.
If you catch up with the wind and the current, it would be great to arrive in half a year.
This is still the current navigation technology. If the era when Yingguo was destroyed decades ago and Qi was established, the time would have been much longer.
Such a geographical advantage led to the Tang Dynasty gentry and nobles who had a large number of private fleets and merchant ships under their command, and could even second the Tang Dynasty navy to cause trouble, but the journey was too long... Jiang Renmei's hero was still taking advantage of this time difference and was able to get rid of the huge pressure under the weak and rise step by step.
Weiguo is not good. It is too close to Jingzhou of the Tang Dynasty. Not only can the navy or fleets travel quickly, but it just set up a fleet of transport and transport a large number of troops to be placed on the largest island of Weiguo. It is also very easy.
However, because Wei State is very close to the Tang Dynasty, the country has a small territory, less than one-tenth of the country's population, but its population is even more dense, with a population of more than nine million.
Generations of civilian fishermen who could not survive in the Tang Dynasty set sail to sea to find new hope, and 99% of them arrived at Weiguo first.
Although Weiguo is currently being exploited very seriously, in fact, when maritime trade is underdeveloped, they have lived a good life. In terms of human reproduction ability, it is easy for more than ten generations to make the population violent.
If the Kingdom of Qi wants to go north and take over Li Tang and replace it, Wei State must be taken. The only way to occupy the Wei State is to be more convenient to attack the violent soldiers in Jingzhou, etc. Before Jiang Hui said this, the Qi State had thought of annexing the Wei State more than once.
It is nothing more than to worry about the influence, mainly the influence of the three empires, so they did not rush to leave and really wanted to implement it? With the current strength of Qi State's 150,000 navy and 50,000 elite army, they can handle the Wei State in just a few months.
Heaven and earth can be seen. If they want to fight against the Wei Kingdom, the most difficult thing is not the Wei Kingdom itself. The Wei Kingdom has less than 10,000 naval forces and only a few thousand army. Do you think this is a country's military power with a population of more than 9 million?
However, Wei State was the private land of powerful and powerful gentry in Jingzhou for a week. No matter how the royal family of Wei State wanted to develop, they would be restricted and suppressed and could not develop at all. Many high-ranking officials and gentry in the Wei State were kneeling on the Tang sect, and the royal family was just puppets.
The most difficult thing about Qi State wanted to swallow the guards was the reaction of Jingzhou in the Tang Dynasty.
The Wei Kingdom is in the north, and the Zhou Kingdom is in the west of Qi Kingdom. The Zhou Kingdom is also composed of a series of archipelagos. The total area of the largest island is three times that of the winding island on the earth. The size of 100,000 square kilometers is one-twentieth of the Penglai Island of Qi Kingdom.
The Zhou State is the archipelago country closest to the Da Shang Dynasty. The whole country is similar to that of the Wei State, with a population of more than 8 million, and a total of more than 20,000 troops across the country. It is the back garden of the two provinces of the Da Shang Dynasty, and all the gentry and nobles.
The Qi royal family knew very well that they, Wei State, Zhou State, even Da Shang State, Da Tang State, were actually one ancestor, a nation, and Chinese Miao Seeds. If they really launched a national war to swallow the kingdom, then the biggest flaw of Qi State, and the population shortage can be solved in an instant.
Qi, Wei and Zhou have a population of more than 20 million, and they all have the same clan, and there is no distortion of being ruled by aliens.
They were 100% sure that as long as they annexed hundreds of islands in Wei, Zhou, they treated the original Wei and Zhou people the same treatment as the people of Qi... Then, the people of both countries would frantically support the Qi royal family.
Who would have been willing to grow the land that he had worked hard to get a bumper harvest and was bought by the wealthy families in Shang Tang at the price of vomiting blood? Who would have wanted a mountain of gold not far away, originally yours... but was occupied by the foreign wealthy families of Shang Tang, and they would have to drive you to mine? All the digs were transported away by those guys?
In the past, the people of Yingguo could not bear such treatment, so they responded countless times when Jiang Renmei rose and shouted that they would let the people of Yingguo stand up.
Even in the early stage of the resistance, Jiang Renmei lost the battle, as long as the surname Jiang is still alive, the banner will not fall, and once he comes out of the mountain, he will follow countless people.
The Qi royal family was sure that as long as they followed the old ancestor's routine and copied it, they could easily conquer the Wei Kingdom, Zhou Kingdom, and the thousands of people.
They were afraid of Shang Tang's subsequent reaction.
After a moment of silence, the prince of the King of Qi, Jiang Xiucai, said, "Father, it is not difficult for Zhou to conquer Wei. What is difficult is the reaction of the top leaders of Jingzhou in the Tang Dynasty and the powerful men of the Tang Dynasty."
"We are the most relaxed here. Although the powerful people in Jingzhou will not give up easily, we can lobby the capital aristocrats in other states of the Tang Dynasty to drag down Jingzhou. Those capital upstarts will definitely not be lenient when they sell the country."
"It's hard to say about Zhou. The Emperor of Shang is in high prestige, especially the news of his cultivation of immortality. Once the powerful men of the two provinces persuade the Emperor of Shang... The Da Shang fully supports the Zhou Kingdom, our Daqi Navy may not be able to get benefits."
