A large amount of gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials as well as Japanese women entered the Han Dynasty. This time, Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, Dou Jiande and other princes made a lot of money and looked at the world.
The other princes are all jealous.
Moreover, this is only the first batch. Next, these things will be continuously transported from the Japanese country into the Han Dynasty. To be more precise, they will be transported into the rule of these princes.
Cao Cao and Chi You were not very wealthy themselves. After seeing Zhao Kuangyin making such a windfall, they became jealous and even discussed participating in this small alliance to conquer Japan, even at the expense of some money for it.
Benefit.
Unfortunately, it was unanimously opposed by Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, and Dou Jiande.
First of all, Cao Cao and Chi You did not have naval strength. They had to use their warships to travel eastward to Japan. They took their ships and divided the gold and silver that should belong to them. How could the princes agree to this?
matter?
Secondly, the cake is only one big piece, and the more people share it, the less everyone gets. Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, Dou Jiande, all the princes, no matter who they are, do not want more.
A cake sharer!
Especially Zhao Kuangyin, he didn't want one more person to share the cake, and he didn't want the person to share the cake to be Cao Cao or Chi You.
The three of them are all competing for the land of the Central Plains. They are potential rivals. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are life and death enemies. If any one wants to unify the three states of Yan, Henan and Xu in the Central Plains, the remaining two will definitely not be able to do so.
The obstacles must be solved absolutely.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhao Kuangyin be willing to let Cao Cao and Chi You share his cake?
The less Zhao Kuangyin gets a piece of the cake, the less he will develop and grow. On the contrary, every time Cao Cao and Chi You share a little bit of the cake, the two of them can take the opportunity to grow a little bit.
If Zhao Kuangyin agreed to join Cao Cao and Chi You in this alliance to conquer the Japanese, wouldn't he be causing trouble for his future self?
Zhao Kuangyin predicted that after he finished digesting the various resources obtained from Japan, its potential strength would definitely far exceed that of Cao Cao and Chi You. By then, his chance to unify the Central Plains would truly come.
On Qin Zheng's side, although he also had his own naval force, and although he was very keen on the gains that Li Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bei, Dou Jiande and other princes gained from the Japanese country, he was really distracted and weak at this time.
.
First of all, Liu Bang had just been wiped out by him not long ago. He had just occupied the entire Youzhou territory not long ago. He still needed some time to stabilize and sort out the place. Territory is never something that can only be conquered by force.
What is over, even after it is conquered by force, is just the beginning. Only by truly managing it can it truly help you.
Secondly, there is an old problem between the east side of Qin Zheng and Li Tang. Qin Zheng happens to be blocking Li Tang's only expansion route, and Li Shimin can only keep chasing Qin Zheng. If Qin Zheng cannot be defeated,
If he is beaten down, he will have no chance to develop and grow.
It is true that Li Tang is bordered by the grassland to the north. However, when it comes to the grassland, it is okay to occasionally hit the autumn wind and grab a group of war horses. With Li Tang's current situation, it is really unrealistic to occupy other people's territory.
In the final analysis, Li Tang, like the Han Dynasty, was a farming nation, not a nomadic nation, and a farming civilization, not a nomadic civilization.
Even if Li Tang could acquire some grassland territory, he would have to build a city if he wanted to stabilize this acquired territory. But wouldn't it cost money to build a city? In this process, how much resources would be consumed?
Manpower and material resources?
If Li Tang really did this, Qin Zheng would probably laugh out of his dreams. If Li Tang did this, the threat to the east of Qin Zheng would be directly reduced to the lowest point, and then he could safely plot to seize Jizhou.
Building a city on the grassland not only requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources in the process, but it is also a thankless task. When these occupied areas can feed back the entire force, there may not be a certain number of people involved in the process.
How long does it take!
Not to mention Li Tang, even Li Xiang would not attack the grassland before he conquered the world! Taking the initiative to seize the territory of the grassland now, in a sense, is slowing down his pace of unifying the world!
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasties have not taken the initiative to compete with the grasslands for territory, but in battles with the grasslands, the costs are basically greater than the benefits, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, the Central Plains forces would take the initiative to attack the grasslands only when they were unified. Otherwise, the Central Plains itself would be in a state of melee between princes, and how would they have the energy to attack the grasslands at that time!
Therefore, Li Xiang's long-standing strategic goal is to first capture all the Han people and then focus on solving the grassland problem. And only then will Li Xiang be able to mobilize sufficient manpower and material resources to solve the grassland problem.
Before that, if the grassland really dared to offend him, he would probably set a fire on the grassland!
Fortunately, at this time, the grassland forces are also busy with their own affairs. Although the north is certainly not in a stable state, it is basically a small fight. The grassland people occasionally come to Dahan to fight in the autumn wind, and Dahan
Occasionally, people are quietly sent to the grassland to snatch a group of war horses, but there have been no major disputes for the time being.
In addition, another reason why Qin Zheng could not allocate excess power to attack the Japanese country was Yuan Shao.
Before Liu Bang's demise, Yuan Shao was very calm at that time. He tried to persuade several of his advisers to go back, and he truly managed to "sit firmly on the Diaoyutai".
But now, Liu Bang has been destroyed by Qin Zheng, and Yuan Shao is starting to get ready to take action. Although he has not sent out troops yet, there is a smell of gunpowder brewing.
Of course, after Li Shimin learned that the Han princes had robbed a large amount of gold and silver from the Japanese country, he was also on the jealous side. However, at this time, he did not have the strength to compete with the five Han princes for the Japanese country!
The five princes of the Han Dynasty joined forces, not to mention Li Shimin and Qin Zheng, a rival. Even without Qin Zheng, he did not have the strength to defeat the five princes at once.
However, since he was not strong enough to directly rob the Japanese country with the Han clan, and Li Shimin was really jealous of the gold and silver, he simply did the opposite...
