Chapter 3 Opponent

"What is the current situation of the war in the Western Region?"

There has been almost no change in Ying Yi's face for more than ten years, but the emperor's power has become much more profound.

In recent years, Ying Yi has mainly focused on the transformation of the Forbidden City into an instrument, and it is almost completed now.

Nowadays, the personal official and supervisor of the Humane Supervision Bureau is no longer Yan Ermei. At the time of the change of office in the 10th year of the Huaxia Era, Zheng Yunzhi resigned and Yan Ermei replaced him as Prime Minister of Government Affairs and Yige Tianguan. After he took office, the second supervisor of the Humanity Supervisory Committee was promoted from the first batch of students who graduated from Imperial College.

Called Zhang Ming, he is very strategic and good at politics.

Zhang Ming said: "Your Majesty, the candle shines thousands of miles away. The war situation among the European countries in the Western Region has now entered the most intense stage. All countries have been involved. According to Wei Chen's inference, within March, they will enter a decisive battle along the Lion River. '."

The Lion River is what Europeans call the Rhine River.

"Decisive battle..." Ying Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhang Ming's emphasis on these two words: "Then what choice does Zifang think I should make?"

Zhang Ming bowed and said, "Your Majesty has already had a case in his mind. I would like to show my shame and analyze it for Your Majesty."

Ying Yi laughed loudly: "Tell me and listen."

Zhang Ming said: "The European countries in the Western Region are nothing to worry about. If it were not for the long-term plan, the empire would have wiped out their countries long ago and confused the world. Now their role has been minimal, and it is time to end."

He said: "By the twelfth year, the empire has seized the overseas colonies of various countries, and then it can launch its troops to attack directly. But..."

Since the empire established diplomatic relations with the European countries, the empire's merchants and navy have followed the trend and expanded outward. From the Nanyang to the Southern Territory, from the Eastern Territory to the Southeast Territory and the Wilderness Territory, in the vast oceans and continents, we are gradually seizing the interest space of the European countries.

Using a powerful military to intimidate and squeezing the European market with exquisite products made the Europeans gradually intolerable.

So between the ninth and tenth years of the Chinese Era, the European countries turned against the empire one after another and broke out.

This is all under Ying Yi's control - if not for the long-term plan, by the sixth year of the Chinese Era, the empire's military strength would have been enough to dominate the world.

It took nine years to finally break up the relationship. This was calculated.

Because of the exquisiteness of the empire's products, the Europeans were at an absolute disadvantage in business. A large amount of gold and silver from Europe flows into the Bactrian Empire, and the trade surplus is on the Bactrian side. In order to make up for the loss of currency, the European countries could only conduct slave trade with Bactria to recover some of the difference.

During this process, Daxia desperately encouraged the European countries to increase their efforts to capture slaves again and again.

Therefore, in just a few years, a large number of natives from the Eastern Region, Southeastern Region, Southern Region and Wilderness Region were captured and sold to Daxia nearby.

The Europeans recovered the trade balance to a certain extent through the slave trade. With the help of the Europeans, Daxia easily obtained a large number of slaves, promoted trade circulation, and enhanced the economic development of the empire.

By the time from nine to ten years, the slave trade entered its dusk and was unsustainable - a large number of indigenous people were arrested, the indigenous population decreased rapidly, and a small number of lucky indigenous people fled to the mountains and old forests to avoid disaster.

As the role of the Europas diminished, the empire began to increase its persecution, forcing the Europa countries to take the initiative to break up with each other. Daxia had enough excuses and reasons to attack the colonies of European countries.

In just three years, in the twelfth year, Daxia, which had been fully prepared, seized all the European colonies except the northern part of the wilderness, and locked the European countries in the Western Region of Europe and the Mediterranean coast.

By that time, the number of slaves owned by the empire had exceeded 80 million. But for the development of vast land, these slaves are still insufficient. Therefore, the empire continued to provoke a civil war in Europe and proposed a plan to exchange weapons from Europe for slaves.

The European countries knew that drinking poison to quench their thirst, but in order to obtain the advanced weapons of the Great Xia Empire, under many contradictions, started another European civil war - the battle for population.

As of now, under the superposition of many contradictions such as the competition for population and the battle for faith, the European Civil War has finally begun in full swing, and it is time for the Empire to close its net.

"In the past three years since the twelfth year, the empire has obtained more than ten million white-skinned slaves from Europa. They have no energy left to continue sending slaves to the empire. And the decisive battle is coming, and the time has come to close the net."

After hearing this, Ying Yi put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Zifang is right. The time has come, Hunyi is right in front of us."

Ying Yi stood up and said with some joy: "Fifteen years after the founding of our country, Daxia is finally going to complete the first phase of the plan."

The planet Hunyi is the end of the first phase and the beginning of the second phase of Ying Yi's plan.

This is still a beginning, not a final pinnacle.

Zhang Ming has been with the Emperor for five years, and of course he knows what the Emperor means.

"Daxia needs enemies." He said.

"Yes." Ying Yi said calmly: "Without rivals, there will be no competition. The morale of the people of the empire will then decline. The future of the empire will also be visible. If this is the case, it will only be ninety-five for the world. , this is not what I want."

Ying Yi sat down slowly: "How is the incident in Yizhou going?"

"It's about to end." Zhang Ming bowed.

"Okay." Ying Yi said, "Just wait until Hun Yi comes, and I will personally give the people of the empire one or more new opponents."

Long-term vision is an essential quality for a qualified emperor. There have always been many wise and decisive emperors in the dynasties of China, but in the end they were limited to struggling on the land of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers.

Social productivity and the level of civilization have limited the vision of emperors in the past dynasties. They can't see further, or if they do, there's nothing they can do about it.

For example, now, Daxia is about to be unified. If there is no other way, and after being mixed with one planet, it will inevitably enter the path of exploring the starry sky. When it reaches a certain level, fatigue will follow, and it can no longer arouse the spirit, the empire will begin to decline.

So the need for a clear enemy, threatening or not, would give the empire a new shot in the arm.

And this was already done by Ying Yi in the fourth year of the Chinese Era.

In the fourth year of the Chinese Era, when Daxia's humanitarian national destiny reached its tenth level, a new function under the humanitarian plan appeared. Ying Yi spent five years and spent hundreds of millions of dollars each year to deduce the national destiny. In nine years, he got a clear implementation plan for this function and implemented the plan in Yizhou.

This feature can be called ‘humane search’. By consuming a certain amount of national luck, it can secretly sense and search for other possible humane national lucks.

In the time after this function appeared, Ying Yi spent some national luck and secretly locked the humane national destiny of three existences. This means that in the vast void of the universe, there are at least three known worlds with intelligent civilizations outside Daxia.

Ying Yi didn't know where they were or how far away they were. But I know that it must be very far away, not even on the same spatial level as Daxia.

To set a goal for Daxia, it is necessary to open up the channels to these three worlds.

Therefore, the plan that Ying Yi spent five years deducing and implementing in Yizhou was the teleportation plan. Through the cyclic communication between the ubiquitous Yuan Qi, a cross-space teleportation plan is deduced, and a teleportation gate is established accordingly to complete the feat of cross-space teleportation.
