Chapter 927
Getting More and More Outrageous
Seeing his confident demeanor, Yoo Ji-soo was no longer worried, knowing that Cahill truly possessed this ability.
"Shouldn't we two have a drink? This situation is too favorable for us."
Cahill suddenly became interested in having a drink with Yoo Ji-soo.
"Of course we should have a good drink. Who knows, we might hear the news of the Great Zhou Dynasty's destruction soon."
Liu Zhixiu laughed triumphantly, and the two began to drink together, dreaming of a bright future and feeling that the downfall of the Great Zhou Dynasty was just around the corner.
Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo waited and saw how Yan and Xingyun Kingdoms would react, hoping that the two countries would unite to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, which would save them the trouble.
On the Yan Kingdom's side, Tong Gao's policies became increasingly excessive, escalating their attacks on the Great Zhou Dynasty. This was all thanks to Ram, who acted as the strategist behind the scenes.
Many laws were promulgated targeting the Great Zhou Dynasty, prohibiting the Yan Kingdom from engaging in any economic or trade exchanges with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The people naturally complained bitterly, as their lives were suddenly altered, and for some, even survival became a problem.
"What exactly is our new king planning? Does he intend to torment all of us people to death?"
"Yes, if this continues, we really won't be able to survive. Why has Yan Kingdom become like this?"
The people kept complaining, their lives had fallen into dire straits.
Before their complaints could even subside, Tonggao actually promulgated new criminal laws, further targeting the Great Zhou Dynasty.
These punishments were so bizarre that they were unbelievable to all the people of Yan.
Some of the punishments even included the following: meeting with people from the Great Zhou Dynasty in private could even result in the death penalty.
Those who marry between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom must also divorce and return to their respective homes.
These extreme measures made the people of Yan feel like they were walking on thin ice. They were even terrified when they mentioned the Great Zhou Dynasty, fearing that if someone with ulterior motives heard about it, they would be in trouble.
The most direct result of these punishments for Yang Xia was that the Great Zhou Dynasty could no longer have any dealings with the Yan Kingdom. Whether it was economic trade or other cooperation between the two countries, everything was completely cut off.
"This Tong Gao is simply too much. How did he come up with all this? He's a complete tyrant, not even comparable to the old ruler of Yan. Yan is doomed if it's handed over to someone like him."
Upon hearing about these bizarre punishments, Yang Xia couldn't help but fly into a rage. He truly hadn't expected Tonggao to become increasingly outrageous, with some aspects completely exceeding their imagination.
"Yes, if Yan Kingdom continues to be tormented like this, the consequences will be unimaginable. The old king's legacy will be squandered by him."
Sun Zhengming spoke of these matters with immense sorrow, saying that they had been suffering terribly every day for some time, dreaming of restoring Yan Kingdom to its former prosperity.
Crown Prince Kao Dong was so anxious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. These loyal ministers simply could not accept such a situation.
At this moment, General Meng Yu called Yang Xia again to complain about the bizarre practices of the Yan Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom is going mad. We can't even get close to them when we're patrolling at sea."
"The Yan Kingdom is now in a completely sick state. Their ruler must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."
General Meng Yu also kept complaining, unable to understand Yan Kingdom's actions; such bizarre behavior was completely beyond their imagination.
Hearing everyone's complaints, Yang Xia couldn't help but frown.
He has already begun to lay the groundwork for the Yan Kingdom, and will strike at the opportune moment. However, the Yan Kingdom is currently teetering on the brink of collapse, with farces unfolding every day.
If the old king were alive, he would surely die with his eyes wide open in dismay. The once peaceful Yan Kingdom has suddenly become what it is today.
Yang Xia knew, of course, that all these bizarre and wicked ideas were orchestrated by Ram, who wanted to create as much chaos as possible in Yan Kingdom.
At that time, the Nebula Kingdom will be able to completely control the Yan Kingdom, and the ultimate goal is to unite the Yan Kingdom to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Ram's intentions were sinister; he was undoubtedly plotting for the Nebula Kingdom's wicked plan.
Yang Xia felt that his plan should be brought forward; he couldn't let them continue their reckless behavior. The people of Yan were living in dire straits, each day feeling like an eternity.
These were indeed bad ideas from Ram, and Tonggao was completely bewitched and accepted them all.
For a time, all trade with the Great Zhou Dynasty was severed. However, many things are reciprocal, and the Yan Kingdom itself was also severely affected.
They were unable to do business with the Great Zhou Dynasty, which naturally caused a severe impact on their economy.
Gradually, Tonggao also realized that this practice had a serious impact on the economy and trade of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he quickly raised his questions.
"General Ram, if things continue like this, our business will also be affected, and our economy will naturally suffer."
Although Tong Gao was treacherous and cruel, he was not a complete fool. He was aware of the serious impact of these factors and was afraid that they would harm the economic interests of the Yan Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, you need not worry about these things at all. Our Nebula Kingdom will fill this gap."
"As long as you cooperate with our Nebula Kingdom, we guarantee that you will create more value than if you cooperate with the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Ram patted his chest and gave his assurance. Tonggao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this guarantee, and the relationship with Xingyun Kingdom became even closer as a result.
"General Ram, Nebula is our most reliable ally. It is in times of crisis that we can see who our true friends are. I hope we can cooperate well and make China stronger and stronger."
Tonggao was very grateful to Lamu and trusted him implicitly.
“Yang Xia, that Tong Gao is a complete blockhead. He cut off all business with the Great Zhou Dynasty and now he’s turned to do business with Xingyun Country. The lifeline of China is completely in Xingyun Country’s hands.”
Sun Zhengming was heartbroken upon learning this news, watching helplessly as China was about to become a pawn in the hands of the Nebula Nation.
Once these vital resources fall under the control of the Nebula Nation, the entire China will lose its initiative and be at the mercy of the Nebula Nation.
"Yes, Tonggao is now completely beyond saving. Let's proceed according to the original plan."
Yang Xia was shocked by Tong Gao's absurd actions, but also felt helpless.
Seeing that Tong Gao remained obstinate, Yang Xia changed his mind. Since he could not guide him onto the right path, he could only take some measures to forcibly reverse the situation in China.
"Yang Xia, do you already have a plan? What should you do next?"
Sun Zhengming was thrilled to see that Yang Xia was finally about to make his move; they had been eagerly awaiting this moment.
"Yes, I plan to use a natural gas controller to alter the weather in Nebula Kingdom, making their environment extremely harsh and uninhabitable."
"Next, Ram will definitely take this opportunity to move to China, which will make it easier to create conflict between them."
Yang Xia then revealed his entire plan. After listening, Sun Zhengming and Kao Dong finally understood this brilliant strategy, and both gave Yang Xia a thumbs up. "Yang Xia, no wonder you've been so calm all this time. You had such a perfect plan all along. Now Tonggao and Lamu will soon become enemies."
Sun Zhengming was incredibly excited. They had finally waited for this moment and believed that China would soon be able to turn the current situation around.
Without hesitation, Yang Xia immediately began to gradually change the current weather conditions in Nebula Kingdom through the weather controller.
After Yang Xia's actions, a severe tsunami and tornado soon struck the Nebula Kingdom, causing sandstorms and dust to fly all day long, which seriously affected people's daily lives.
"How did it suddenly turn out like this? How can anyone live in this awful weather?"
His men kept complaining to Ram that they had never encountered such terrible weather in years.
It's normal for tsunamis and tornadoes to occasionally occur in these coastal areas.
But they've never seen a situation like this happen so frequently before. They really can't stay here any longer; if this goes on for too long, their entire lives will be disrupted.
“Perhaps this isn’t necessarily a bad thing for us.” After a moment of contemplation, a sly smile appeared on Ram’s lips.
"General Ram, you mean..."
Seeing Ram's expression, his men knew he had come up with a new trick.
Now, the Nebula Kingdom has almost completely taken control of the China Kingdom, all thanks to Ram's brilliant methods. The people of the Nebula Kingdom greatly admire him.
"We can take this opportunity to move to China and maybe even completely rule it. Then the two countries will be united and all of China will belong to our Nebula Kingdom."
Ram proudly stated his idea, and his subordinates finally understood his intention.
"General Ram is indeed brilliant; now we can better control China."
His subordinates flattered him repeatedly, all thinking that Ram's move was even more brilliant, and that China was now completely reduced to a pawn of the Nebula Kingdom.
After making up her mind, Ram hurriedly went to Tonggao to discuss it, hoping that the foolish guy wouldn't think of these things, and that the Nebula Kingdom's scheme would succeed.
"Your Majesty, may I discuss something with you?"
"Our Nebula Kingdom has been hit by a severe tsunami and an extremely terrifying tornado, making it impossible for us to stay here any longer. Could our people be allowed to reside on Chinese soil for a period of time?"
Ram embellished the story of the terrible weather and requested that the people from Nebula Kingdom stay temporarily in China.
Such an outrageous thing would not be agreed to by most people, and Ram was a little apprehensive.
"General Ram, of course you can. It's only natural for Nebula to come to our China for refuge when it's in trouble. I agree."
Ram was overjoyed that Tonggao agreed so readily.
Everything went exactly as he had predicted, and now he could control China very well.
But Ramu was always cunning and treacherous, and on the surface he remained calm and composed.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. We are only seeking refuge temporarily, and we will return as soon as the bad weather passes."
Ram was shrewd and calculating, and fearing that the other party would suspect his purpose, he kept explaining.
"It's okay, you can stay as long as you want, and go back when the weather gets better."
Tonggao was truly bewitched and agreed without a second thought, even considering it a matter of course.
Now he and Ram are so close they're practically inseparable, and he always puts Ram first.
"Your Majesty, we are extremely grateful for your hospitality. Our Nebula Kingdom will cooperate well with the Huaxia Kingdom."
"I will have the people of Nebula move here right now, and I believe they will be grateful to China."
Ram appeared to be extremely grateful, but behind the scenes he had already begun to plot against China.
With a single command, he ordered the people of Nebula Kingdom to quickly relocate to China. This made China quite lively, but also incredibly crowded.
How could the territory of China possibly accommodate people from two countries at the same time? Not only would it be overcrowded, but various conflicts would also gradually emerge.
The people of Huaxia were filled with resentment, feeling that their ruler was becoming increasingly unreliable, allowing the people of Xingyun Kingdom to crowd onto their land.
Moreover, the people of Xingyun Kingdom, relying on Ram's influence in Tonggao, acted extremely arrogantly and unreasonably on the land of Huaxia Kingdom.
Conflicts among the people have been erupting for some time, but due to the violent rule of Tonggao, no one dares to report it to higher authorities.
When the ministers from the Nebula Kingdom arrived in the Huaxia Kingdom, they also felt superior to others.
All of this stemmed from Ram's position in Tonggao's eyes. Seeing how well Ram was doing in Huaxia, they concluded that the people of Huaxia were not as shrewd as the people of Xingyun.
With this confidence, the ministers of Xingyun Kingdom showed no respect for Tonggao in court, and they only regarded Ram as the leader.
"Distinguished ministers, I would like to say something at today's court assembly..."
"Your Majesty, when our Nebula Kingdom was doing business here, some people from China actually refused to cooperate..."
Tong Gao was often interrupted by ministers of Xingyun Kingdom when he spoke in court, which made him very unhappy.
After all, he was the ruler of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the people from the Xingyun Kingdom were there to seek refuge, yet their attitude was far too arrogant.
Out of consideration for Ram, Tong Gao did not show it, but he had already developed a dislike for the people of Xingyun Kingdom and hoped that they would leave Huaxia Kingdom as soon as possible and return to Xingyun Kingdom.
Yang Xia had long anticipated that conflict would inevitably arise after the Xingyun Kingdom and the Huaxia Kingdom became entangled.
"Yang Xia, I've decided to add fuel to the fire and deepen the conflict between them."
Sun Zhengming smiled slyly and said these words to Yang Xia.
Do you have a good idea?
Yang Xia was also pleased to see Sun Zhengming's performance. They united and wanted to teach Tonggao and Lamu a lesson.
“I plan to have some of the old subordinates of Huaxia spread some folk songs among the people, so that Tonggao will be more suspicious, and the rift between him and Ram will naturally grow larger.”
Sun Zhengming made no attempt to hide anything from Yang Xia and quickly shared his thoughts.
"Brother Sun, your idea is brilliant! They'll be fighting soon." (End of Chapter)
