Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention - Chapter 201

  Chapter 201 Concession

   “Prince, you have no way out now.” Zhang Beichen reminded.

  Zhu Jian finally came to his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, and said, “Thank you sir for reminding me. It’s just that I’m weak, so please help me!”

  Zhang Beichen said: “After all, I am from Qi, so it is inconvenient to participate in the affairs of Yue. But if the crown prince needs money, food and weapons, I am willing to help you all!”

   “Thank you sir!” Zhu Jian was overjoyed, as long as he had money, food and weapons, he would naturally be able to find people and equip soldiers.

  …

  【You secretly sent money, food and weapons to Lu Mi and Zhu Jian, and both sides are plotting to rebel. 】

  【Three months later, Lumi took control of the imperial guards in the capital and the king of Yue, and Prince Zhu Jian escaped from the capital. 】

  Lumi has not killed the king of Yue at this time, he is trying to win the support of the nobles of Wu and Yue.

  However, Zhu Jian was not reconciled to fleeing. He also won the support of a group of nobles and began to raise troops to attack Yuedu.

   Taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Yue, Zhang Beichen didn’t care about other things, and first sent troops to garrison the port of Yue.

  Whether it is Lumi Dangyue King or Zhujian Dangyue King, he will actually station troops here. As long as there is a military port, Qi’s army can directly enter the hinterland of Yue!

  【Half a year later, Zhu Jian led the soldiers to break through the capital of Yue, killed the deer, and surrounded the palace of the king of Yue. 】

  In the palace of King Yue, King Lu Ze of Yue was lying on a hospital bed, coughing violently.

   “Father, please abdicate!” Zhu Jianjian stepped forward.

   “Nizi, this king is not dead yet… Ahem!” King Yue cursed angrily.

  Zhu Jian was unmoved, and said, “Isn’t that how father’s throne came about?”

  The Kingdom of Yue is often despised as a barbarian by the countries of the Central Plains, because it has almost become a tradition in the Kingdom of Yue for sons to kill their fathers and ministers to kill their kings!

  Zhu Jian’s father also did similar things, so the prestige of King Yue is not enough to suppress the whole country.

  Zhu Jian ordered the people to write the edict of abdication, and pressed the hand of Yue King to press the fingerprint forcibly.

  【The king of Yue “died of illness” in the palace, and the prince Zhu Jian succeeded to the throne and became the new king of Yue. 】

  Zhang Beichen sent someone to congratulate Zhu Jian.

   “My lord, the Qi people have already occupied the port of our country of Yue, and they openly sent troops to garrison it!” The courtier reminded, “If you let it go like this, I’m afraid it will plant hidden dangers!”

Zhu Jian naturally knew that this matter was not good, but at this time he had no time to deal with Zhang Beichen: “Now that the king has just ascended the throne, there are many dissatisfied people in the country. It is not appropriate to be an enemy of Qi at this time. When the king calms down the domestic turmoil, Take him again!”

  Zhu Jian ignored Zhang Beichen’s actions, and Zhang Beichen became more presumptuous, expanding the scope of the port and the number of troops stationed.

  As for Zhu Jian wanting to pacify the country, Zhang Beichen will naturally not sit back and watch this happen.

  …

  Zhang Beichen came to the Wu land of Yue State to visit the old nobles of Wu State here.

  In the lobby, a group of old Wu nobles sat.

   “Qi Xiang came here this time, what is the so-called?” A nobleman asked.

  Zhang Beichen said: “I have two things to do here. First, to conduct business and trade with you.”

   “We also intend to trade with Qi State!” The nobles in Wudi did not reject this matter, and immediately agreed.

   “Secondly, I want to help everyone survive in Yue!”

   “What’s the explanation for what Prime Minister Qi said?” the nobles asked knowingly.

  Zhang Beichen said: “As far as I know, after Zhu Jian took office, he tried his best to suppress the nobles in Wudi and put you all at risk!”

   “Yue people are Yue people after all. Although the king of Yue ruled Wu, he still didn’t trust you. The ultimate goal of the king of Yue is to wipe out all of you!”

   “Are you willing to do this?”

   “Of course we don’t want to!” Everyone said, “What’s your opinion?”

  Zhang Beichen said: “Zhu Jian killed his father and won the throne, and the people of Yue refused to accept it. How can such a rebellious person have the right to sit on the throne!”

   “In my opinion, you can support a new king of Yue. Yue people can be the king of Yue, and now Wu also belongs to the country of Yue. Why can’t Wu people be the king of Yue?”

   “If you are interested, my state of Qi is willing to help!”

  Of course these old nobles in Wu knew that Zhang Beichen’s move was to split the Yue Kingdom, but for them, they never recognized that they were from the Yue Kingdom, but thought they should be from the Wu Kingdom!

  【The nobles of Wudi promised to cooperate with you. 】

  【A few months later, the nobles of Wu claimed that Zhu Jian killed his father and usurped the throne, which was a great treason. He also supported Zhujian’s son, Luanzhi, as the new king of Yue. 】

  【Zhu Jian was furious and sent troops to conquer Wu. 】

  …

   “Why did the bad luck happen to me?” In a shabby palace of the Yue King, the “Yue King” who was temporarily supported, Luanzhi was frightened and uneasy.

  Different from others, he doesn’t have any ambitions, he just wants to be a wealthy prince, and wait to die in his own fief.

   Unexpectedly, because he was too useless, he was supported by the nobles of Wu to become the puppet king of Yue.

  Of course Luanzhi knew that the Yue kings of all dynasties did not end well!

  He, the puppet King Yue, must not live for a few years!

   “No, I must run away, stay here, my life is gone!” Luanzhi just wanted to escape, but he was surrounded by soldiers and he couldn’t find a way.

  At this time, someone appeared in his bedroom.

   “Who?” Luan Zhi turned pale with fright, fearing that he was here to assassinate him.

   “Don’t be afraid, King Yue, I am the Prime Minister of Qi, Zhang Beichen!” Zhang Beichen showed his figure, and now that he has reached the holy realm, it is easy to sneak in here.

   “Qi Xiang, save me!” Before Zhang Beichen could say anything, Luan Zhi went to the doctor in a hurry, begging him for help.

  He said with snot and tears: “Qi Xiang, I don’t want to be the king of Yue. Qi Xiang help me escape to Qi State! I am willing to go to Qi State as a hostage!”

  Zhang Beichen was speechless. He finally understood why the nobles in Wu were willing to support Luanzhi, because this person was a waste material and easy to control.

  Zhang Beichen patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, the king of Yue, I, the state of Qi, are willing to help!”

  【You took Luanzhi away overnight and went to the port of Yueguo. 】

  Zhang Beichen did not bring Luanzhi back to Qi, but stayed in the port under his control.

  The nobles of Wudi learned about this and sent someone to find Zhang Beichen’s important person.

  Zhang Beichen directly blamed him, saying that he was not the one who robbed him, but that Luan Zhi fled to him on his own initiative and refused to leave.

  As long as the other party wants someone, he agrees without hesitation, but repeatedly delays and refuses to give it.

  At this time, the nobles in Wudi had to face Zhu Jian’s conquering army, and there was nothing they could do about him.

  【Because of your various actions, the civil strife in Yue country has been continuing, the country is turbulent, and the people are miserable. 】

   At this time, Zhang Beichen continued to expand the scope of his “concession”, and also provided residence and work for refugees.

  For a while, a large number of Yue people fled to the concession.

  The land of the concession has become the most prosperous place in the Yue Kingdom!

  …

  【Three years later, because of dissatisfaction with Zhu Jian, the nobles of Yue State assassinated Zhu Jian, supported the new King of Yue and continued to fight against the nobles of Wu. 】

   It wasn’t Zhang Beichen who did it this time. He didn’t need him to do anything now that the country was in chaos.

  【For another three years, due to the perennial civil strife, the national strength of the Yue State has been in decline. The nobles of Yue and Wu were also seriously injured. 】

  Seeing this, Zhang Beichen asked Qi Wang Jiangchan for an order to conquer Yue.

  【The king of Qi agreed, she sent 150,000 troops and 50,000 sailors to conquer the country of Yue in the name of helping King Luanzhi of Yue. 】

  …

  Concession port, an early morning as usual, the sailors are preparing for today’s work.

  There was some fog on the sea this morning, and there seemed to be some dark shadows in the fog.

   “It seems that something is coming!”

   “Could it be a monster?”

  The sailors became alert, but when those things approached, they made a sound in surprise: “God, there is such a big ship!”

  In front of them, there are large ships with a body length of more than 100 feet. There are several wooden buildings on the ship, and they are loaded with cannons!

   “Quick, report to the prime minister!” Everyone hurried back to report.

  When Zhang Beichen arrived at the port, the first warship had already entered the port.

  On the bow, a girl jumped directly from the high bow, and Zhang Beichen quickly caught her.

  Jiang Chan looked at Zhang Beichen with a smile, and said, “Zhang Beichen, the king is here! Surprised or not!”

   “Surprise!” Zhang Beichen laughed.

   “Wow, you have turned this place into a military port!” Jiang Chan looked around curiously.

  Here is heavily guarded, ships come and go in an orderly manner, and it has become the second largest port in the world.

   “This time, this king will conquer Yue Kingdom in one fell swoop!”

  …

  【The attack of the Qi army was very smooth. The Yue army was exhausted from fighting all the year round. Many nobles of the Yue Kingdom expressed their surrender to the King of Qi. 】

  【In just half a year, most of the country of Yue has been captured by the country of Qi. 】

   At this time, the nobles in Wudi could not sit still.

   Seeing that the Yue Kingdom could not defend, they came to the concession in a team and surrendered to Jiang Chan.

  【King Qi accepted the surrender of the nobles of Wu and took control of the entire territory of Yue. 】

  【The concession port was renamed Yuegang, becoming the second largest port in Qi and the world. 】

  …

   It took Qi State less than ten years to annex Yue State without spending too much money, becoming one of the few powerful countries in the world!

  After these days, the situation in the world has changed.

   Wei State’s attack on Chu State encountered strong resistance and consumed a lot of national power.

  After the Qin State annexed Bashu, it developed water conservancy projects and turned Bashu into a land of abundance, and then sent troops to attack Wei State.

   South Korea took advantage of this opportunity to attack Chu State and occupied a large area of ​​land. Only some nobles in Chu State remained stubbornly resisting.

   But Yan State was a bit unlucky. Although it was trading with Qi State in this round to strengthen its strength, it also pacified Donghu. Who knew that this time Zhao Wang actually sent someone to persuade the Xiongnu Shanyu to let Maotai attack Yan.

   Zhao Wang took the opportunity to pick up the leak and annexed Yan State.

  In this way, the current contending for hegemony in the world is Qin, Zhao, South Korea, and Qi.

  …

   It’s time to develop again.

  The queens of all countries know very well that after a period of development, they will usher in the final time for hegemony!

  In order to speed up the development of Qi, Zhang Beichen decided to give full play to his advantages as a “navigator” and go to sea to find treasures.

  【You led the fleet out to sea from Yuegang, this time, you came to Yingzhou Island! 】

  Of course, this Yingzhou is not the legendary fairy island, but a treasure island with rich products.

  【You migrated people to Yingzhou Island to cultivate and plant, and brought back some brand new crops. 】

  【Five years later, you go to sea again. This time you came to the southern islands, you easily conquered here with your navy, left soldiers to manage the natives, and brought back some crops and animals again. 】

  The territory of Qi State has become extremely prosperous.

  Business and trade brought profits and supplies from all parties, and some indigenous tribes living in the south were also recovered by Qi.

  The natives are inconvenient to manage, but they can help Qi grow some crops, or hunt and fish.

  At this time, the countries could no longer hold back and decided to launch a unified war.

  Whoever strikes first becomes a problem.

  …

   “South Korea must be eliminated first!” Zhao Yun has always regarded South Korea as her confidant, and Qin is the same.

  Although South Korea occupies a large area of ​​Chu State, the core economic and political area is still in the original place!

   Was sandwiched between Qin and Zhao.

  The most important thing is that South Korea’s development of firearms poses too great a threat to other countries.

  【The king of Zhao decided to send troops to conquer South Korea. She contacted the state of Qin and invited the king of Qin to send troops together, and the king of Qin agreed. 】

  【King Zhao appointed Xinnan as a general, and sent 200,000 troops to attack South Korea. 】

  【King Qin appointed Ying Meng as a general, and sent 200,000 troops to attack South Korea. 】

  【King Zhao and King Qin sent an alliance invitation to King Qi, asking Qi King to join forces to attack South Korea. 】

  【The king of Han sent a request to the king of Qi for help, asking the king of Qi to send troops to help South Korea. 】

  …

   In front of Jiang Chan, many choices appeared.

  【Option 1: Together with Qin Zhao, attack South Korea. 】

  【Option 2: Send troops to rescue South Korea. 】

  【Option 3: Send troops to attack Qin. 】

  【Option 4: Send troops to attack Zhao Guo. 】

  【Option 5: Leave it alone and continue to develop Qi. 】

  Jiang Chan thought about it carefully. In the last game, she failed to unify the world because of South Korea’s powerful firearms. In this case, it is better to get rid of South Korea first!

  【You decide to send troops to conquer South Korea. 】

  【You appoint Zhang Beichen as a general, lead 200,000 troops, and attack South Korea. 】

  【South Korea was attacked by the Three Kingdoms, and it was difficult to support it alone. 】

  Even though South Korea’s firearms are very powerful, countries have mastered certain firearm technologies after years of simulation.

  The three-way army attacked, and South Korea began to slowly fall.

  【Two years later, South Korea’s Xinzheng was breached, and King Han committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine. Qin, Zhao, and Qi divided up the land of South Korea, and South Korea perished. 】

  【Three points in the world! 】

  …

  After the world is divided into three parts, countries continue to develop.

  【You persuade King Qi to move a large number of people to the southern coastal area and vigorously develop the coastal area. 】

  Because Qi State conquered the territory of Yue State and South Korea, for the convenience of management, those populations just migrated to new areas, which reduced the risk of regional turmoil and opened up new planting areas.

  【There is sufficient rainfall in the south, and rice is harvested twice or even three times a year, which has increased the grain production and population of Qi. 】

  【Eight years later, Qi State has become the largest country in the world. 】

  【King Qin and King Zhao met at the border and decided to join forces to deal with Qi. 】

  Ying Yiren and Zhao Yun knew very well that if they did not join forces, they would definitely be defeated by Zhang Beichen and Jiang Chan one by one.
