"That's right, the King of Pingchao, it's not like we can't beat Wei, so why have we been patient?"
"The Shenwu cannon is extremely powerful, isn't the prince afraid that it will be too powerful and go against the laws of heaven?"
The Minister of the Ministry of War and a prince couldn't help but speak, they guessed.
Otherwise, there is no reason to refuse.
However, Xu Qingxiao shook his head, and then slowly spoke.
"Everyone."
"The meaning of war is profit."
"Looking at ancient and modern times, any war is based on interests."
"Nowadays, the Great Wei possesses the divine martial arts cannon, and the Tuxie Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty are afraid, so it is reasonable to ask the Great Wei for the Divine Martial Cannon."
"But the Great Wei, Tuxie, and Chuyuan have the Shenwu cannon. It is reasonable for other countries to be afraid. They ask for the Shenwu cannon, which is common sense in my king's opinion."
"If the Great Wei doesn't give it, what's the point of joining forces with Tuxie and the Yuan Dynasty to resist?"
"Great Wei's hand cannot reach the other four continents. Instead, it is the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chuyuan Dynasty. They are close to the four continents. If they really fight, the two dynasties will inevitably start fighting with Great Wei at the head."
"At that time, the people of the four continents will hate me, Great Wei, to the bone. If we win, the two dynasties will reap the benefits of being a fisherman. They may take the opportunity to ask Wei for the magic cannon, and even once war is declared, they will ask Wei for more. Lots of cannons."
"In this way, what is Great Wei's plan for contributing money and efforts? Is it to show the spirit of a great country?"
Xu Qingxiao made a sound.
Most people's thoughts of war are to discredit and improve the status of the country.
But in fact, ninety-nine percent of wars revolve around interests. If they do not revolve around interests, this kind of war has no meaning, it is pure massacre.
Everyone present understood what Xu Qingxiao said.
"If you don't fight, today it will be demanded by the big forces, and tomorrow it will be demanded by some small forces. Our Great Wei doesn't have so many powerful cannons."
Zhou Yan couldn't help but ask Xu Qingxiao.
Just saying this, Xu Qingxiao shook his head again and said.
"Small countries don't need to pay attention to it. Since these big forces ask for it, I will give it all to them."
"It was mentioned in the Xinbao that after the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chuyuan Dynasty obtained the Shenwu Cannon, they immediately tried the power of the Shenwu Cannon. It is said that the emperors of the two dynasties were shocked."
"In this way, if the Shenwu Cannon is given to the major forces, they will definitely try the power of the Shenwu Cannon."
"As a result, they will have two ideas. One is to want to produce more Shenwu cannons, and the second is to know the horror of Shenwu cannons."
"In a few months, Great Wei will have a military parade, everyone, think about it, when you have seen the power of a divine martial arts cannon, and suddenly discovered that Great Wei has thousands of divine martial arts cannons, how do you feel? "
Xu Qingxiao asked back.
After saying these words, everyone couldn't help but start to think.
After thinking about it carefully, they immediately understood what Xu Qingxiao meant.
They were astonished by a single martial arts cannon. If they found out that Wei had thousands of martial arts cannons, they would be numb instead.
It's cowardice.
is fear.
"In particular, if the major forces get the Shenwu Cannon, they will definitely test the Shenwu Cannon in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and countless soldiers."
"In other words, everyone in a country knows the power of Shenwu cannons, word of mouth spreads the word of mouth, and everyone's words make money. In this way, after learning that Wei has thousands of Shenwu cannons."
"Do they still dare to fight Wei?"
"Even the soldiers who obey orders can't afford any warlike heart. For thousands of years in the future, no one will dare to challenge Da Wei, because to challenge Da Wei is to ask for trouble."
"It's really not easy to open your eyes. After a baptism with the Qianmen Shenwu Cannon, everything will be settled."
"Therefore, Great Wei doesn't need to declare war, it just needs to let the world know that Great Wei's national power is invincible."
"And at this time, Dawei should be thinking about the future, not fighting and killing."
Xu Qingxiao said word by word, and every word made everyone think differently.
"Nowadays, the land of Great Wei has a bumper crop and is stable for one day. Great Wei is ten days better than other countries."
"Do you need to fight with them?"
Speaking of this, everyone almost understood what Xu Qingxiao meant.
Determined not to fight.
"What does the lord mean to say, give them the divine martial arts cannon, let them understand the power of the divine martial arts cannon, so that they will feel awe of my great Wei?"
This is a question from Zhou Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
"Not just that."
Xu Qingxiao shook her head.
"The real thing to do is not to awe them, but to check and balance."
"Both the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chuyuan Dynasty possessed divine martial arts cannons, which is not a good thing for the major powers in the world, and it is not even a good thing for the Great Wei."
"However, if all the major forces in the world have the Shenwu Cannon, it will not only reassure them, but also indirectly buy them, let them check and balance the Tuxie and the Yuan Dynasty, and everyone has the Shenwu Cannon, which will play a role in checking and balancing each other. "
"In this way, Da Wei has the largest number, no matter in any negotiation, Da Wei has the greatest advantage."
"The gold system of the Great Wei Bank can even indirectly control the entire world."
"Collect gold from all major forces in the world, and let the world know that Great Wei has the most gold reserves. In this way, it will be possible to perfectly promote the Great Wei Banknote. At that time, as long as someone holds the Great Wei Banknote, give it to people in other countries. , the transaction can be completed.”
"In this way, as long as the total amount of money in gold is used, Wei Wei can produce a large amount of gold out of thin air without using the gold reserves."
"This amount of wealth is enough for the people of the Great Wei to eat and drink enough. Under the ebb and flow, the Great Wei is thriving, and every ten years there will be earth-shaking changes."
"And the essence of war is that the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people are healthy and healthy?"
Xu Qingxiao explained the final core.
This is the path of Wei's development, and it is also the reason why he does not fight.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, if someone wants to use the blood sacrifice of war, it is impossible for him to start a war.
However, the economy is more important.
How long can you fight, kill, kill?
What's the point in killing so many people?
With Wei's current size, he can only occupy Zhongzhou, and he may be counterattacked at any time.
The main reason is the population problem.
There are not so many people, where might they migrate?
Winning a battle is not difficult, but defending the country is the kingly way.
In this way, let the people of Great Wei live a good life, thereby producing more food, and giving birth to all kinds of talents. This is the vision and thinking that a powerful country should have.
Xu Qingxiao finished speaking.
The ministers were completely silent.
Finally, Gu Yan, Minister of the Household Department, spoke.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the prince's plan is very good. If the Great Wei's treasure banknotes can be successfully promoted to the world, it will be a great thing for me, Great Wei."
When Gu Yan opened his mouth, he wished he hadn't said that sentence, it's hard not to get rich.
Following Gu Yan's opening, the rest of the ministers also nodded.
Although the Ministry of War is a little disappointed, they also understand what is general, so they have no intention of continuing to fight.
Finally, the empress spoke in a calm voice.
"Since that's the case, everything is according to Xu Aiqing's wishes."
Ji Ling made a sound.
She makes a choice.
In the end, the courtiers withdrew from the hall, leaving only Xu Qingxiao alone.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Only Ji Ling and Xu Qingxiao were left.
"Aiqing, without fighting this time, are you trying to force them all out with the help of the military parade?"
There was no one in the hall, and the empress directly asked her why.
In fact, she understood this matter clearly. It was okay for Dawei not to declare war, but there was no need to give them the Shenwu Cannon.
There is another way.
It's just that she also understands Xu Qingxiao's thoughts.
Some people hope that the world will be in chaos, but Xu Qingxiao will not let the world be in chaos.
It's not hard to guess what the other party's plan is.
Refuse to give the Shenwu cannon, and the major forces will not do it if they don't want to fight.
But if you give Shenwu cannons, the other party can also make trouble from it.
But Dawei's biggest trump card now is the military parade.
Once the military parade is over, thousands of mighty cannons are put out, people all over the world will be silent, all major forces will be shocked, lose any desire to fight for hegemony, and can only be honest.
But doing so would undoubtedly force them to go straight to the last step.
To put it bluntly, these few people hiding in the dark still hope to cause chaos in the world through alienation or other means.
Thousands of powerful cannons can have an impact that all major forces in the world will lie flat.
Because there is no need to fight.
No matter how much you fight, no matter how much you develop, it doesn't matter if the power of the whole country is enough, so what can you do if you are allowed to build ten mighty cannons?
The Tuxie Dynasty is about to fight with the Dongzhou Imperial Clan.
Da Wei stepped forward, stop beating, and save face.
do not give?Whoever does not give a hit.
It doesn't make any sense whether to build a Shenwu cannon or not.
Therefore, what Xu Qingxiao did was almost to force the people behind the scenes to turn their backs.
Completely tear your face and go to extremes.
This is also what Ji Ling is worried about.
But after she finished speaking, Xu Qingxiao followed suit.
"His Majesty."
"Now the country of Great Wei is rich and the people are strong, and there are Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldrons and Divine Martial Cannons."
"Those who are hiding behind the scenes should also come out."
"Only after these people are dealt with can Da Wei be truly peaceful, and the world be truly peaceful."
"My lord, you can rest in peace."
Xu Qingxiao made a sound.
He spoke his mind.
For the military parade, he had to do it, force the people behind the scenes to appear on the stage, whether it was a fight to the death or tear his face apart.
All in all, it can't go on like this.
The enemy is in the dark.
It's unsettling after all.
After hearing Xu Qingxiao's words, Ji Ling let out a long sigh.
"I have an idea."
"No military parade, but cooperating with major forces in secret. They ask for Shenwu cannons, so naturally they have to exchange them. How about finding them secretly and killing them?"
