At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 333 I don't want face ah?
King Ning is also a little clever ghost. He has a new fief, but he is not in a hurry to surrender. Instead, he took out all his belongings and made a fortune in the stock market.

Just when everyone was feeling that Prince Ning had a unique vision and courage, he released another big move.

That is to take away part of the railway bureau's business from the imperial court.

He pocketed the third phase of the railway planned by the imperial court. On the one hand, the business of repairing the railway was profitable without losing money;

Think about it, in a place like Uzang, where the mountains are high and the land is dangerous, if you really lead troops to fight there, even if you can win, the casualties must be not small.

If there is no convenient transportation, whether it is logistics supplies or reinforcements from the imperial court, the problem will be serious if they cannot get through by then.

Therefore, his strategy is not to rush to the domain, but to build roads first!

The imperial railway runs through the two capitals, and the second phase, from Nanjing to Jingzhou, has already begun.

As long as I can complete the section from Jingzhou to Chengdu, and then extend it in the direction of Uzang, wouldn't it be beautiful to take the train and go to the domain?
If there is a war ahead, there is no need to prepare at all. In just a few days, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses will come directly. How dare you think?

What is even more frightening is the logistical supplies. Now that there are railways, you can just fight on the front line, and supplies from all over the country can be transported to you, and the consumption can also consume your opponents to death.

I have to say that King Ning is really strategic.

As long as this railway is completed, Uzang will be in the bag.

However, others are not fools.

Now that Daming is building roads and mobilizing troops, there must be some big moves in the future.

In response, Uzang also began to gather troops and gathered towards the border of Sichuan, intending to put pressure on Ming Ting.

This is the news that Yu Qian brought back. He inspected the reform of military camps across the country, and when he arrived in Chengdu, he discovered that there was a problem there, so he rushed back to the capital in a hurry.

However, what Zhu Qizhen didn't know was that Yu Qian's first reaction in Chengdu Mansion was to fight Wu Sizang.

However, there are not enough troops, he came back to the capital, in fact, he came to move troops...

But Zhu Qizhen showed disapproval, and said: "I'm building my own railway, why is it hindering them?"

These words are correct, not to mention that U-Tsang is also the land of Daming, take a step back and say, the road was not built in U-Tsang, so why are you so anxious?
Yu Qian replied: "Back to the emperor, Wu Sizang did not mention the road construction. They have sent someone to present the letter of credence, and it will arrive in three or two days. As far as I know, their request is that the court has been there for too many years. I didn’t support Wu Sizang, and now I’m asking the court to give me money and food.”

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Why should I give him money? Have they made any contribution to Daming?"

Yu Qian nodded and said: "It's what I mean, if this matter is not handled well, it will be difficult to end. If you really want to use swords, I hope the emperor will make preparations early."

Wu Sizang is now looking for excuses. After all, Daming is building roads in his own home. If you don't let others build roads, you have to find some reason.

That's why they asked for money and food. They knew that Daming would never give it without Bei Yuan's restraint.

Otherwise, if you ask for money, I will give you money. How shameless am I?

This is the reason for the war. Although we know that the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and advanced firearms, the altitude of Uzang is extremely high and the air is thin. It is difficult for ordinary people to adapt to it.

Geographical advantage is also U-Tsang's only trump card, otherwise, when Daming completes the railway, it will only be more unfavorable to him.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Yu Qian was a little dazed: "What?"

"I ask you, should we fight this battle?"

"I think...you can fight!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly: "Look at what the Qing family means, are you confident about this battle?"

Yu Qian saluted and said: "As the old saying goes, soldiers are fierce! However, some battles are inevitable. Since the implementation of the New Deal in my Ming Dynasty, the development has been extremely prosperous, but some people can't see the good of others. It is important for us to develop ourselves. In order to strengthen the national power, some people think that they are threatened, so they obstruct them in every possible way, sow discord, and even make outrageous demands. angry!"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned by these words, and thought to himself, isn't this my word?

You said it all, what can I say?
"Actually, I think...you should be more cautious about things like war..."

Yu Qian thought he heard it wrong, are you still cautious?
At first, I ran to Nanjing by myself without saying hello.

As a result, the fight in Nanjing was so hot that the imperial court didn't know anything about it!

Moreover, it's just a small Uzang. If I didn't have enough troops in Chengdu Mansion, I would have taken it down for him on the spot!

Seeing Yu Qian in a daze, Zhu Qizhen continued: "What I mean is... is there a solution that can achieve both, for example, it doesn't require fighting and can solve the troubles of Uzang. If you really can't think of it, then It's not too late to fight."

Yu Qian bowed his head and pondered, and after a long while, he said: "I can't think of any solution for both ends, unless the court can agree to the other party's request, money for money, and food for food, so that war can be avoided."

After Zhu Qizhen heard it, his expression was very disapproving, and he said, "Why don't you give them some money and food?"

"Your Majesty, this is not some money, but... face!"

Yu Qian was a little anxious, Daming naturally didn't care about some money and food, but it was not just some money and food, it was the face of the court.

At the beginning, the Southern Song Dynasty occupied the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, but because of its weak national power, it had to pay tribute to the neighboring countries for silver and cloth. Although it gained a huge advantage in the trade war, in the eyes of later generations, the Southern Song Dynasty court had no backbone.

If you win a trade war with others, it means that you are smart and others are stupid.

However, when people realize that they no longer play economic and trade with you, and just roll up their sleeves and beat you up, what do you do?
Without strength, you will always be in a passive situation.

For example, there is a well-known sentence in later generations, "no" and "have but not use" are two different things!
The Southern Song Dynasty just didn't have it, and when it was time to face real swords and guns, the country could only be destroyed tragically.

In Yu Qian's view, today's Ming Dynasty must not repeat the mistakes of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Uzang is nominally Daming's land, and it stands to reason that Daming should be taxed, but now it's a good thing, to ask for money and food, it is simply unreasonable!

Yu Qian's tone was firm, and he continued: "I think that the emperor will definitely not agree to Wu Sizang's request, otherwise, where will my Ming Dynasty be placed?"
