Siheyuan: I have broken space

Chapter 395 South China Sea News

There are good things and bad things.

The good news is that King Zhongshun finally got the shipbuilding blueprints from the Wang family.

A businessman from Fujian met Wang Ren by chance, and the two hit it off immediately. The businessman from Fujian took Wang Ren on several business trips, and he made several small and medium-sized deals.

After getting familiar with him, I tried to find out the information from him.

It takes a lot of thought.

Unfortunately, the drawings are not in the capital, but are kept in the hands of Wang Zisheng, his hometown in Jinling.

Wang Ziteng's mansion was fairly well guarded, but there was really not much left in Wang Zisheng's mansion. With one thousand taels of silver, I got the blueprints in my hands.

This is a happy place.

The unsatisfactory place is the West Coast.

Things were pretty much what Wang Tingxuan predicted.

Although Prince Nan'an's health is not serious, he cannot go into battle at all.

In order to inherit the Nan'an Palace, the Crown Prince must prepare to take over the military power.

But after the prince arrived in the army, the way to gain military power was to suppress his brothers, which started the struggle for power in the South China Sea.

The emperor took the information in his hand and said: "It makes no sense. What does the Nan'an Palace think of the military power of the imperial court? Does it really treat it as their private soldier?"

King Zhongshun said: "Fortunately, Tingxuan warned me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Now we should think about what to do to prevent the situation from deteriorating."

The best way is of course to transfer them away, but if this was really possible, the Supreme Emperor would take action at that time.

Didn't you see that the military power of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion was handed over to Wang Ziteng, nor to the imperial court?

The emperor asked: "Tingxuan, do you have any good ideas?"

Wang Tingxuan thought for a while and said: "I think the most important thing is to find out the intelligence of Qianxiang Kingdom. If you want to rectify the power of the South China Sea, the most important thing is time. The news reported by the Prince of Nan'an is that there is nothing wrong with Qianxiang Kingdom. This news

How true it is, the court has no way of knowing."

In the eyes of the ministers at court, Qianxiang Kingdom is a small barbarian country, they do not pay attention to their intelligence at all, and they have no talents who understand Qianxiang Kingdom.

If the South China Sea did not have such a serious problem, it would not have any impact. However, the competition for military power in the South China Sea is fierce. If the Qianxiang Kingdom has evil intentions, it will definitely attack.

Didn’t Zhongnanhai in the original work suffer a disastrous defeat?

King Zhongshun was a little unconcerned and said: "Qianxiang Kingdom is so big, how dare it take action against us. Although there are problems in the South China Sea, do they have the courage to send troops? There is an army of 50,000 in Nanhai, and only Qianxiang Kingdom has it.

How many troops?"

Wang Tingxuan said: "There is really nothing to fear when the front line passes, but the South China Sea Navy may not be able to stop the invasion of the Qianxiang Kingdom. If the South China Sea is really defeated, the problems in the South will not be solved within a few years."

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Tingxuan is right. It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. We cannot take risks. If we use troops to the south in the future, this information will still be very useful."

But if we really want to target the power of the South China Sea, we still need the consent of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor already has the idea of ​​delegating power, and the Emperor does not want to make the Supreme Emperor suspicious because of such a thing.

King Zhongshun still didn't believe that Qianxiang Kingdom dared to attack the imperial court. Wang Tingxuan said: "What if Qianxiang Kingdom sues for peace after winning the victory? Will the imperial court send troops or not? Even if Qianxiang Kingdom proposes

Where’s the marriage?”

King Zhongshun's expression changed, he couldn't believe that the scene Wang Tingxuan said would really happen.

"But how do you know that the Qianxiang Kingdom really dares to fight against the imperial court? Don't forget that in recent decades, the two countries have not fired a single shot."

That's what the book says, the entire Nanhai army was wiped out, and even the commander-in-chief, Prince Nan'an, was captured.

It's just this reason that cannot be said.

Wang Tingxuan thought for a moment and decided to throw the scapegoat to Prince Nan'an and said: "No matter how the battle for military power in the Nan'an Palace goes, the final winner will most likely be Prince Nan'an. My lord, you should know better than me who Prince Nan'an is."

.Not to mention whether he can subdue his brothers. Even if he can subdue them, do you think that with his temperament, he really won't cause trouble?"

This was a sore point for King Zhongshun. What he hated most was that the people in the capital regarded Nan'an Crown Prince as the greatest shame in his life.

The fight between King Zhongshun and Shui Rong also had this factor.

Without even thinking about it, King Zhongshun immediately said: "It is better to expect the Qianxiang Kingdom to surrender directly if the Crown Prince Nan'an can change his temper."

"So, is it really possible that there will be a war in the south?"

Wang Tingxuan calculated the time and said: "In three years at the latest, there will be a battle in the South China Sea."

Three years? The imperial court simply could not resolve the issue of military power in the South China Sea.

The main problem is the generals.

Almost all of the current famous navy generals come from the Nan'an Prince's family.

What is even more serious is that almost all the generals in the Nan'an Navy are die-hard loyalists to the Nan'an Palace. Transferring one or two people alone cannot solve these problems.

Another problem is that in recent years, Nanhai's military expenditure has been insufficient, and the arrears of military pay have been settled by the Nan'an Palace. The military is more loyal to the Nan'an Palace than the imperial court.

After hearing this, King Zhongshun could not sit still and ran towards the palace of the Supreme Emperor.

The emperor is also trying to persuade the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor took the information and looked at it carefully.

"The Prince of Nan'an is fooling around a bit, but there is no need to follow the plan like this. If it doesn't work, you can issue an imperial edict and directly determine the military power. Otherwise, there won't be so many disputes."

In the opinion of the Supreme Emperor, the Nan'an Palace does not hold much military power and is far away from the capital, so it will not have any impact on the court. The dispute between the Nan'an Palace will be more beneficial to the court.

The emperor said: "The Nan'an Palace is making fun of the military power of the imperial court. What if other people imitate it? Moreover, the problem in the north has been solved. When the imperial court has energy, it can continue to ignore the South China Sea.

?"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes. The Emperor's attention to the south was unusual. He must have other ideas?

"Qianxiang Country is a small country, how dare you go against the imperial court?"

King Zhongshun broke in at this time. After hearing the words of the Supreme Emperor, he said: "Father, if something happens to the power of the Nanhai Navy and the Qianxiang Kingdom requests a marriage, how will the court respond?"

The expressions of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor immediately changed.

During his tenure as the Supreme Emperor, there has never been any marriage issues. This is his pride. If such a problem really arises, he will not be able to keep it for the rest of his life.

The emperor is even more reluctant to have such a problem. The imperial court has gradually recovered after governance. This is the time for the emperor to work hard to govern. If a marriage actually occurs, it will be a big blow to his reputation.

The Supreme Emperor said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Prince Zhongshun said: "Father and brother, throughout history, don't those small border countries often use this trick? Once there is a problem with the court, they will raise troops. When the court calms down, they will surrender immediately. Through this

With this method, not only do they have nothing to lose, but they can also gain a lot of benefits from the imperial court."

"On the other hand, the imperial court not only had to treat them with courtesy, but also compensated them a large amount of money. In addition, it also had to undertake the reconstruction of the border areas, which was another huge expense."

When money was mentioned, the Supreme Emperor had nothing to say and decided: "I will send someone to check the specific situation."
