"Have you seen it?" Yun Shang stared intently at Luo Qingyan: "How is it?"
Seeing Yun Chang's eager look, Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing: "Tianxiang Continent, as the princess of Youyue Kingdom said, there are five countries, but Youyue and Yihai are among them. The two largest countries, and the remaining three are the vassal countries of You Yue and Yi Hai."
"Subordinate country?" Yun Chang's eyes were full of doubts.
Luo nodded lightly: "Now the monarchs of Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom are both powerful, and the relationship between the two countries is very close. In the past twenty years, they have almost joined hands to launch various wars, and eventually the surrounding All three countries are in the bag."
"It's just that those three countries were originally independent countries, and they had ruling systems that were only suitable for their own country's conditions. If they were to be changed rashly, they might lead to riots. Therefore, You Yue Kingdom and Yi Hai Kingdom did not directly include them in their territory. rule only as a vassal state."
Yun Shang frowned slightly: "It's no wonder that Princess Mingyue only mentioned Youyue Kingdom and Yi Hai Kingdom, but didn't mention a word about the other three countries."
"If the kings of Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom are such powerful figures, then they will come to our Xia Kingdom this time..."
Luo Qingyan knew what Yunshang wanted to ask, so he just smiled: "Whether they are attacking us or not, there is no conclusion yet. It's just that they don't know the situation on our side, and we have nothing to do with them. Living across the sea, even if they have such an idea, it is impossible to launch a war against us in the short term."
Yun Chang nodded, and raised her head slightly: "No wonder, they want to stuff the female relatives they brought into our Xia Kingdom's harem. It's fake to want to get married, I'm afraid it's more for the other two purposes."
"The other two purposes?" Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yunshang with a smile.
Yun Shang nodded again: "One is to try to inquire about some things in our Xia Kingdom, so as to know ourselves and the enemy. On the other hand, because I am the princess of Ning Kingdom, which is somewhat similar to the situation of You Yue Kingdom and Yi Hai Kingdom, our Xia Kingdom Because of you and me, the country and the Ning country are now very close."
"If we join forces with Ningguo, even if Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom are very powerful, it may not be easy to swallow them rashly. The best way is naturally to destroy the relationship between us and Ningguo, and break them down one by one. .”
"If you want to destroy our relationship with Ning, it is naturally best to start with me. After all, the friendship between our two countries is more because of me. If something happens to me, the relationship between Xia and Ning , is in jeopardy.”
Luo Qingyan looked at Yunshang, with a smile in his eyes: "What the empress said is absolutely true, so we must not fall into other people's schemes, and we must not let the women of Youyue Kingdom and Yi Haiguo have the slightest chance of entering The harem of our Xia Kingdom."
Yun Shang naturally heard the teasing in Luo Qingyan's words, she only glanced at Luo Qingyan, and snorted: "It is naturally best for your majesty to know this, I hope your majesty will remember today's words, if there is any violation, my palace will I will not forgive you lightly."
"Dare not dare."
Luo Yan smiled lightly, stopped teasing Yunshang, and continued: "It's just that although it is unlikely that Youyue Kingdom and Yi Haiguo will start a war in the short term, they have to guard against it."
Yun Chang nodded: "That's right, now that we have anticipated such a possibility, we have to make preparations first."
"First of all, I feel that most of our crisis this time is due to our unfamiliarity with Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom, and also because we only focus on foreign affairs on our continent. Worrying about internal troubles, it’s because I didn’t really go out.”
Yunshang pondered for a moment: "I feel that we can also establish and support some caravans at the right time, and encourage them to go to other places, to do business or to understand the customs and customs of other places. From three sides of the sea, You can also browse the snow-covered mountains in the north of Yelang Country all the year round, and go further back.”
Luo nodded lightly: "This is a long-term plan, we have to do it, but we can only do it bit by bit."
Yun Shang responded: "Besides, what we can do right now is to let the cities along the coast focus more on training sailors and strengthening our sea defenses."
Luo Yan laughed lightly: "The empress has already planned everything properly, but I seem to be a bit useless."
Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, with a smile on her face: "It's not that the concubine has planned everything properly. The concubine knows that your majesty may have already made plans in his heart. I'm afraid all of this has been thought of. Your majesty just It's all about letting the concubine speak out."
Luo Qingyan did not refute, but continued: "The sailors are indeed about to train. When I was in Ningguo, I spent nearly half of my time on the battlefield for more than 20 years. Given the terrain of Ningguo, how to train soldiers?" Those are very familiar."
"After coming to Xia Kingdom, there are fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield, and I am not very familiar with the terrain of Xia Kingdom. To be honest, I have no idea how to train sailors."
Yunshang raised her hand to smooth Luo Qingyan's frown, and said with a smile: "Everyone has areas that they are good at but not good at. No one is omnipotent. This is not something to be blamed on. Professionals Just leave it to the professionals.”
"Professional things, let professional people do it?"
Yun Chang nodded: "This is also a sentence I read in a book, and I think it makes sense. Your Majesty is not good at water warfare, and he doesn't know how to train sailors, but many cities in Xia Kingdom are near the sea, and the seaside can be regarded as a It is the border gate of Xia Kingdom, and those guards by the sea must have a lot of experience in how to fight water battles and train sailors."
"Before we neglected the defense of the sea, it is not too late to pay attention to it now. Your Majesty can summon the military generals in the court and ask them. Those generals of our Xia Kingdom are good at water warfare. Call those generals who are good at water warfare and work together. Discuss and discuss, how to train troops, how to strengthen the defense at sea."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to do these things in person, just plan everything well."
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yunshang's face, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laughed: "My empress, you are really amazing."
Yun Shang chuckled, these things are not very profound, she knows that Luo Qingyan can think further and do better, so she will not continue to entangle in this matter.
"However, compared to this one, I am more interested in what kind of identities that Lord Mingyue and those who live in our inn now are in Youyue Kingdom and Yihai Kingdom. Status, what kind of person... "
