Chapter 310: At the Beginning of the Prosperous Era, the Cold War Begins
All officials unanimously agreed to change the reign title.
Of course, even if they disagree, it's useless.
In this way, the era name Chengping was officially abolished.
From now on, the era name will be changed to Taichu.
All the policies issued by Ying Yuan over the years.
They are all growing their national strength at a rapid pace.
For example, the Grand Canal, various new inventions, etc.
Since the change of the reign title to Taichu, no one has indeed mentioned the "Chengping Reign" anymore.
Instead, they are all talking about [the beginning of the prosperous era], [the beginning of the prosperous era]...
So, when Ying Yuan found out about these things, he almost fainted in the toilet from crying.
July of the first year of Taichu.
Civil unrest broke out in Dafeng.
King Ji Fa of Qi took the opportunity to lead his army to attack Dafeng, hoping to gain some benefits.
In August of the same year, the State of Yan invaded the State of Qi.
At the end of October, the civil unrest in Dafeng was quelled.
Yan and Qi withdrew their troops at the same time.
The end of December in the first year of Taichu.
Around the end of the year.
Emperor Li Shimin of Great Yan issued the Iron Curtain Declaration in Changning City.
It was decided to join forces with Shu, Chu, Jin, Feng and other countries to impose a series of military and economic sanctions on Qi and Qin.
The Emperor of Yan called it the Iron Curtain Plan.
Later generations called it the "Cold War Era".
As for the State of Wu, at such a critical moment, it chose not to help either side.
When Wu Meiniang learned about this, she was extremely angry, so she went to find her grandfather Wu Hua.
But when she saw the other person, she was unable to vent her anger and just stood there in a daze.
It’s because Wu Hua is now lying on the bed with a pale face.
His limbs were weak, his fever was high, and there were dull pains all over his body, tormenting him madly.
Even talking and drinking water are difficult to accomplish.
Throat feels like it is being cut by a knife, with chills and burning sensation in the body.
Wu Meiniang looked at this scene in disbelief.
She remembered when she met her grandfather more than half a month ago.
The other party can still eat two kilograms of beef and looks very energetic.
How come it happened like this after such a short time?
She couldn't wait to ask the imperial physician the reason.
The doctor said, "Your Majesty's health has not been good in recent years, and he has relied entirely on medicine to support himself."
"Now my energy and blood are exhausted, and no medicine can cure me..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Meiniang was stunned.
At this moment, Wu Hua, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed and said:
"My dear granddaughter is here, right?"
"Mei Niang, don't blame the doctor. I understand my physical condition."
Wu Meiniang came to Wu Hua's bedside with a choked voice, "Grandfather..."
Wu Hua's voice was very hoarse, and every time he spoke a word, his throat felt like it was on fire.
"Mei Niang, don't resent your grandfather. Your father is a mediocre person who will never achieve great things. At most, he will be a king who maintains the status quo."
"If our Wu Kingdom insists on getting involved in the conflict between major powers, with your father's ability, I'm afraid he will die miserably."
The Shu Kingdom was drawn into this struggle.
Because Liu Bei wanted to consolidate his prestige.
The states of Jin and Chu wanted to fight for their national destiny again.
Hearing this, Wu Meiniang could only sigh.
His father was a king who maintained the status quo, but wasn’t his grandfather also one?
If the Wu Kingdom does not want to survive in the cracks in the future, this is its only chance.
now.
Above the Qin court hall.
The civil and military officials were in a state of chaos, and all they said were:
"Yan State says Qi has evil ambitions and that Qin is a nation of tigers and wolves. That's all bullshit! At worst, we can just fight them!"
"Fight? Both Yan and Dafeng have impressive national strength! Even if we do fight, we have to think long-term!"
"I believe that the most urgent task right now is to establish contact with the Xia Kingdom. In this crisis, whoever the Xia Kingdom is willing to help will be able to take the initiative!"
"The Ministry of Rites has already sent people to contact Xia Country, but no one is sure whether they will fight or not!"
“…”
If, a long time ago, they knew that Qi and Feng were going to besiege Qin.
They even created an 'Iron Curtain'.
I'm afraid he would have been scared to death.
But what about now?
If you want to fight, just fight, no nonsense!
Of course, some ministers did not quite understand:
"We have nothing to do with the affairs of Jinfeng, Yan, and Qi, so why should we get involved with Qin?"
In fact, there is only one reason.
In the past two years, the growing national strength of Qi and Qin has put pressure on Dafeng and Yan.
At this time.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards delivered the latest news.
It is said that several countries of the Iron Curtain Group have decided to no longer allow local merchants to do business in Qi and Qin from now on.
In other words, a new round of economic sanctions has arrived.
Qin merchants flourished everywhere.
Now, they have all suffered varying degrees of severe damage in those countries.
When the news came out, Heshen, the Minister of Finance, could no longer sit still.
"Your Majesty, this is intolerable. Now, with the money and grain from the Ministry of Revenue supporting our country's million-strong army, fighting a seven or eight-year war will not be a problem!"
The implication is that they hope the country can teach them a lesson and prevent them from acting recklessly.
In the past, when Ying Yuan wanted to fight, they were extremely reluctant to do so.
Now, Ying Yuan doesn't want to fight anymore, but they are trying to find ways to launch several battles.
It can be said to be extremely speechless.
but...
