Chapter 1016 The Wind Rises in America (2)(2/2)
Even if the empire does fail, all countries in the world will have become Han countries, and the Han people will ultimately be the masters of the world.
Emperor Su He could accept this worst-case scenario and had no regrets.
…
Some officials in the empire's cabinet and the governor's office learned that Zhao State was going south to attack the other vassal states of the empire.
They were gearing up and preparing for a big fight.
Prince Su Shu brought His Majesty the Emperor's decree that the Empire would not interfere in this matter.
This directly makes some of the main combatants feel like a rooster that has been strangled by the neck and can no longer make a sound.
Most people in the imperial official circles chose to continue to wait and see this matter.
They didn't understand why the empire changed its previous behavior.
Because of this news, the empire's financial markets experienced violent fluctuations.
A small city-state located between Zhao and Xiang, they did not have the ability to issue stocks to raise funds.
Businessmen's minds are extremely flexible, and if there are no loopholes, they will find ways to create them.
These businessmen choose to issue stocks through backdoor transactions or issue bonds through the bond market.
Well-informed merchants learned that these small city-states no longer existed.
They immediately sold off related stocks and bonds, directly causing a stampede in financial markets.
The futures market is also in a sluggish state because there are no futures for delivery in these countries.
They don't know whether Zhao State recognizes these countries' cotton and mineral futures trading.
The fluctuations in the empire's financial market only caused some financial-related businessmen to cry out.
The current financial market does not have the ability to affect the situation of the empire.
The empire adopted a silent response to Zhao's actions.
…
In the center of Anlong, the capital of Cao State, in the glorious main hall.
King Cao Li Dazhuang is waiting for the telegram sent back by the empire.
When he saw the latest issue of the empire's newspaper, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, this is really great.
Eunuch Caiyu, please immediately notify officials at all levels to convene a court meeting."
Li Dazhuang of Cao State read the imperial newspaper.
The official mouthpiece of the empire, they only discussed Zhao's attack on the many vassal states in the south.
These newspapers neither condemned Zhao's actions nor stated the empire's actions.
This only means one thing, the rumors are true.
Scholars of the empire summarized the experience of governing the empire’s overseas provinces.
As long as the Sinicization rate reaches 50%, the speed of Sinicization will not be affected by the local indigenous people and will advance slowly.
Emperor Su He obviously accepted the research of these scholars, and the empire no longer intervened too much in the vassal states whose sinicization rate reached the standard.
When King Cao Li Dazhuang heard this theory and the empire did not refute it, he was shaken in his heart.
The empire's handling of the Zhao Kingdom made Cao King Li Dazhuang confirm that this unspoken rule indeed existed.
King Cao Li Dazhuang felt that all the chains binding Cao Guo fell off immediately.
Cao Guo can now act according to his ideas.
The officials of Cao State had already been psychologically prepared for the convening of the imperial meeting.
The actions of the Governor-General of the Chao Dynasty were extremely obvious, and even the officials who were slow to respond realized that Cao Guo was preparing for war.
Many people know that King Cao Li Dazhuang wanted to capture the country of Xiang in his early years.
The empire sent the Royal Navy to prevent Cao from doing this.
The Imperial Royal Navy also occupied the narrowest point in Central America and dug a canal that made millions of dollars a day.
Whenever the officials of Cao State thought about this incident, they were depressed and helpless.
The empire now relaxes control over its vassal states.
King Cao Li Dazhuang will soon take revenge on Xiang Guo and avenge his previous humiliation.
The officials of Cao State were gearing up and preparing to follow King Cao Li Dazhuang to avenge their previous humiliation.
Liu Yuanzheng, Duke of Lu State, danced the most joyfully. He kept shouting the slogan "Capture King Xiang alive and avenge his shame".
The main fighting faction of Cao State was even more excited.
They finally waited for the opportunity to show off their skills.
After King Cao Li Dazhuang came to court, he saw a messy scene.
Eunuch Caiyu took out the microphone and said loudly: "Quiet, King Cao is here."
When the officials of the Great Court heard this familiar voice, they immediately stood in their positions respectfully.
King Cao Li Dazhuang looked satisfied when he saw that order was quickly restored at the court meeting.
He followed many rules in the army in managing the country.
He believes that discipline is an extremely important part of commanding operations or governing a country.
Soldiers must have military discipline, and officials must have official discipline, so that they can perform their duties and jointly govern the country.
King Cao Li Dazhuang said happily: "The current situation in America deserves our country's vigilance.
The king has made up his mind to strike preemptively."
King Cao Li Dazhuang personally stated that Cao State would take the initiative to attack surrounding forces.
Many of Cao's main war factions finally waited for this day.
His face was no longer cold, but smiles appeared on his face.
Duke Liu Yuanzheng of Lu State felt that it was time for him to feel proud.
Since he was implicated in the fiasco at Runliu Road, he has resigned from his core official position in the Governor's Office and has become an idle Duke.
It was because Duke Liu Yuanzheng of Lu was bored that he took the initiative to take on the task of visiting Switzerland and other European vassal countries.
He said excitedly: "Capture King Xiang alive, Cao's army will win."
King Cao Li Dazhuang heard the shout of Duke Liu Yuanzheng of Lu State.
He patted the microphone in front of the throne and said: "Which guy is spreading rumors? When did I say that Cao State will attack Xiang State?"
When Liu Yuanzheng, Duke of Lu State, heard what Li Dazhuang, King of Cao said, he immediately suppressed his unspoken words and his face turned red.
He never expected that King Cao Li Dazhuang would actually say that Cao State would not attack Xiang State.
Everyone knows that persimmons must be picked soft and pinched.
Among the countries surrounding Cao State, only Xiang State is the weakest.
When Cao State attacks Xiang State, it only needs to send a small number of elite troops, and it will definitely win.
Liu Yuanzheng, Duke of Lu State, felt that King Cao Li Dazhuang might have purchased several battleships from the State of Song because of the State of Xiang.
But there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. The navy of Cao State is not strong compared to the army, but in a naval battle with Xiang State, it can still suppress the current navy of Xiang State.
Duke Liu Yuan of Lu State looked at the officials around him, and they all looked confused.
