There was a whisper, and a piece fell lightly on the board.A game of chess, or Go, is killing the time of intractable.

Playing chess is Wu Haogu and his son, the current chief elder of the Great Zhou Republic Wu Yijiu.

Wu Haogu now a little admires his son who studied law.A great war involving millions of people was in full swing, and as a rule, it should be a basket of all kinds of troubles, all to trouble him, the Fuehrer, to make up his mind.However, Wu Yi has not been very busy, but also can squeeze out time as a big filial piety, with his father playing chess drinking horse riding and hunting.

And the war ahead, the production of the rear, the financing of military funds, the production of weapons, the transfer of logistics materials, and overseas business... Oh, while fighting the civil war with the Song Dynasty, the overseas expansion business of the big week did not stop.

The South was a struggle between various chartered trade fairs and the Song Dynasty and various indigenous barbarians.

The north is the grand opening of the great khanate of the heavenly khanate!

The East needless to say, since the Great Zhou Republic and Bohai, Japan, and various forces in Japan are entangled - the core of Japan's business is one, trying to expand the production and export of gold, silver and copper!

In addition, the number of fighting at sea has also increased since this spring.The killing at sea was not provoked by the navy of the Great Zhou Republic and the water division of the Great Song Empire, but the sea merchants of Zhou and Song fought first.

By the way, the maritime merchants of the two countries are not good people.Good people do not go to sea, only the wicked with a bad heart go to the sea to make a fortune.

And the Great Zhou Republic has made the Rauchzi Franch Trade Fair again!They were given great privileges (enjoyments) to hire troops, buy firearms, and allow them to purchase sail battleships decommissioned from the Grand Admiral and build their own fleets.

The first to provoke maritime conflict was the joint fleet of the Javan Chartered Traders' Association and the Golden State Concessionist Association on the side of the Great Zhou Republic.

They directly raided and occupied the island of Xingzhou, the center of the rule of the Great Song in the South Ocean, and failed to capture the island's magisterium, but ransacked the Xingzhou Commercial City!

This action suddenly ignited the war in the South China - how can the Song Dynasty sea merchants who can establish a trading station in Xingzhou be a good person with the rules?They also have ship guns!

The Song Dynasty Maritime Merchants, led by the Jijia Chamber of Commerce, immediately retaliated.

But they did not have the capacity to capture the ports and forts controlled by the Chamber of Commerce of the Zhougu.Therefore, in the Sanfoqi Strait, Java Island, the Cham coast, the coast of the toe coast and the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, a comprehensive "private robbery operation" was carried out against the large Zhou merchant group with the banner of Ten Thousand Flags.

The navy of the Great Zhou Republic later joined the operation and sent a fleet to the Zhongshan Island (Luoqi Islands) under the jurisdiction of the province of Antong to escort the Zhouguo merchant ships to and from Zhongshan.

At the same time, the Marine Corps launched an attack on the strongholds of Song merchants on the coastal islands of Taiwan and Mingzhou.

Subsequently, the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty and the naval battle fleet also launched a counterattack.

Although their warships are one generation behind the Grand Zhou Navy, there are only hard-sailed guns similar to the "truth" class, and there are no soft sail battleships such as the "North Ocean" class.But they also have their own advantages!

One is to occupy a long coastline, and it is stuck in the big week - the only way to the South China Sea route!

After the outbreak of the Song Zhou Maritime War, the merchant fleet of the Grand Zhou Republic could only go south of the "Tianjin-Thushun-Koli-Japan-Zhongshan (Koku Islands)-Anhui Province-Anhui (later Danang, currently ruled by the Cham-Confidian Concession Chamber of Commerce)—the old port.

Not only is it inconvenient, but it also misses the trading points on the southeast coast of the Song Dynasty and is in a small and favorable position.

The second is the support of nine coastal commercial cities such as Guazhou City (Yangzhou), Dantu City (Nrunzhou), Shanghai (Xiuzhou), Renhe City (Hangzhou), Dinghai City (Mingzhou), Shang Tong City (Quanzhou), Houguan City (Fuzhou), Panyu City (Guangzhou), and Haikang City (Rayzhou).

These nine major commercial cities are all self-governing commercial cities, which are the product of ten thousand large loans led by the history of rape!

In the nine major autonomous business cities are the sea merchants, although most of the nine major commercial cities rely on silk and porcelain industries and established.But there is really a lot of liquidity, can be lent to the court or the sea merchants.

So the big head of the ten million loans was given to them.According to the rules laid down by the memory of the people, the right to speak in the commercial market (the seat of the council) is linked to the number of purchases of the Great Song War bonds.

Therefore, except for the "Liguo City", "Wujiang City" and "Will City" that are not dependent on the sea, all coastal port merchants are controlled by the sea.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the nine major coastal commercial cities in the Song Zhou Sea War, they all stood on the side of the Great Song Merchants and Marine Divisions.The Dae-Song merchant ships and sailors had sufficient logistics and personnel supply to organize more battle fleets and mercenary units.

In contrast, the number of maritime merchants in Zhou is already small (less population and fewer port cities), and the navy is not huge.So they fell into a situation of under-armed.

Of course, the number of Zhou Guo is small, but the quality is very high.

Not only does the Navy have a large number of "Northern Ocean"-class battleships, but even sea merchants have many armed merchant ships similar to the "truth" class - this is because Zhou Guohai merchants often take Japanese routes, and there is no coastal route to Japan, and must cross the sea.

And after leaving Japan, ships of Da Zhouhai merchants often take the "fast route" of "Zhongshan Island - Anhui Port - Port of Juju" in order to reach the old port before the end of the "trade wind" in the south.

In this way, they can fill the north when the south wind is strong in this year!

Therefore, the "downwind"-class armed merchant ships that have been transformed into the "downwind"-class hull of the truth-level hull with the soft sail have become the favorite ship types of the big Zhouhai merchants.

The fast sailing team composed of the "North Ocean" class and the "downwind" class will certainly not be afraid of the hard sails and paddle sailing teams of the Song Dynasty in the distant sea.

However, once the hydrological situation is complex, the wind direction is more variable offshore.Hard sailing and sand boat types have certain advantages.It can be carried out with the Zhou National Clipper by virtue of quantity and favorable hydrological conditions.

Therefore, the conflict between the southeast and the South Sea shows no sign of one-sidedness.

At the same time, the maritime forces of the Great Song and the Great Week have invariably ignored the existence of the East China Sea.

The Gulf of China and its adjacent waters are now a special “peace zone”.The navy of the two countries will not enter this "sea of peace".And armed merchant ships on both sides will not attack each other again after entering the vicinity of Haizhou Bay.

Therefore, the trade between the two countries can still be carried out through the small country of the "East Sea State".

In short, the Great Zhou Republic is now engaged in an unprecedented "three-dimensional" war, the vastness of the battlefield, the complexity of the situation, are unprecedented.

And only 25 years old Wu Yijiu, actually able to cope with the free, as well as idle work with Wu Haogu, the ability to do this thing, it seems that the blue out of the blue.

Wu Yijiu's ability to take care of official business is good, and the ability to play chess is even more brilliant, even if the two "three stars" of Wu Haogu have won this game.

Wu Hauguo left the black man in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Lost a game again, it is really old, the brain turns slowly, than you can't live after you."The next senator seems to be able to choose not to choose, let it go."

Wu Yi smiled faintly for a long time: "Adult, you are the treasure of the town in our senate, without your town, I don't know how many people want to come out and fight with the children for the position of the Fuehrer!"

He laughed, “I’ve become a treasure?”He looked faintly and seemed to turn his attention to the chessboard again, "Today's executive government meeting discussed the big brother's military report."What do you all think about peace talks?”

Wu Yijiu smiled: "Adult, my big week Republic attaches the most importance to the big name, will not be with the warlords and sons of the war..."

Wu Haogu grinned bitterly: "San Lang, what is your heart?"Do you see the father and the son and the beautiful?Now Zhao Huan has taken the throne, and it will not be handed over to death!”

In fact, Wu Haogu already knew that today's executive government meeting to discuss the results of the Song Zhou discussion - beyond his expectations, Wu Yijiu even questioned Zhao Huan's "legitimacy".

He believes that Zhao Huan is rebellious through inciting military chaos and coup d'état!He was not the legitimate king of the Great Song, so he was not qualified to propose and propose on behalf of the Song.

And qualified to discuss and reconcile, at present only the great Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao!

This game is so insidious!Three birds in one stone!

Zhao Huan himself is certainly one of the birds - the Great Zhou Republic does not recognize his throne, which means that Zhou Guo may support the restoration of Zhao Yi!

Zhao Qin of the East China is undoubtedly the second bird - if Zhao Yi's throne can be restored, Zhao Huan as a tyrannologist, of course, can no longer be a prince.The prince naturally did it on the East Sea King Zhao Qin!

The third bird is Wu Yiyong - Wu Yiyong's goal is always to open the palace, and he does not have enough strength to break the Kaifeng City.So I can only find a way to force Zhao Huan.To force Zhao Huan away, the premise is that Zhao Huan's throne will not be threatened.

Now that Zhou Guo does not recognize his throne as legitimate, Zhao Huan will not dare to leave the capital of the Great Song Dynasty in Kaifeng Province.

As soon as he left, the Republic of Great Weeks might invite Zhao Ying or Zhao Yi to the Kaifeng Province as emperor.

At that time, the two masters of the Great Song Dynasty, who owns the Kaifeng House, is undoubtedly a more legitimate emperor.

Wu Yiju laughed: "If Zhao Huan really hands over the throne, I am afraid he will die."If he wants to die, he must keep the throne.And to hold the throne, we have to have our support.”

Wu Haogu slowly shook his head: "Now the big Song is probably not Zhao Huan can decide in a word... If you force him like this, I am afraid that you will force him to die."If he was going to die, Zhao Qian should be the emperor.

Zhao Ying is the king of the East Sea and the husband of the beautiful lady!It may be harder to deal with than his brother.”
