Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 700

[Chapter 700]

“Father, this is called the fortune of the times, and the right and the left.” The

atmosphere of the banquet was strong, and the crown prince Liang Feng raised his glass to toast Liang Kai.

In order not to let the envoy of Sam’s country hear him, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Since the Nanliang soldiers and horses retreated, the armies of the Han family, Xie family and Wang family were defeated by King Yan.

Lincheng was gloomy and gloomy.

Originally, their original intention was to let the other four families fight King Yan to the detriment of both, and they only sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to make a formality.

Unexpectedly, due to the problem of Nanliang, their expectations fell through, and the fate of Wu Guo was also in jeopardy.

They are hesitating whether to send troops to the north to defend against King Yan with the northern tribes.

The envoys of the country of Sam arrive and win them over to join the Eastern Turk Alliance.

“It’s because the emperor was so calm that he didn’t agree to the people of Sam from the beginning, otherwise he won’t be able to get his territory.” The minister sitting opposite Liang Feng bowed his hands to Liang Kai, and also lowered his voice.

He is Shen An, the prime minister of Wu State, and his Shen family is known as the No. 1 wealthy family in Zhejiang Province, second only to the powerful Liang family.

During Liang Kai’s tenure in Jinling, Shen An has been managing Zhejiang.

Together with Liao Kai, the general of Hussars, he is Liang Kai’s right-hand man.

“Hahaha…” Liang Kai laughed triumphantly.

This sentence Shen An was not wrong.

At the beginning, the envoys of the Kingdom of Sam only asked the Liang family to join the East-Turk Alliance, but did not give them any benefits.

At that time, although he was tempted, he didn’t agree immediately.

Instead, he said that the civil strife was a family matter, and no outsiders were required to participate, so he rejected the envoy of the Kingdom of Sam.

Afterwards, the envoys of the Kingdom of Sam agreed to mediate the conflict between the Kingdom of Wu and Britain, and at the same time asked Britain to make a promise that it would not target the Liang family’s maritime trade.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Dongying to hand over the northern part of Yizhou in front of the Japanese envoys who came with the Sam country envoys.

He will coexist with Japan in the Eastern Land Alliance.

Otherwise, even if he surrendered to King Yan, he would not agree.

In the end, he made the right bet, and neither the envoys of Sam’s country nor Dongying’s envoys could hold their breath.

Especially the Japanese envoys immediately agreed to return to the shogunate to discuss the matter.

Thinking of something, he continued: “However, this is not enough. Whether it is Dongpu, Sam’s country or Britain, they are external forces after all. If the situation is not right or King Yan gives them greater benefits, they will run away at any time, and they must not lose their lives. It is entrusted to them, and they can only be used, and they cannot be trusted.” After a

pause, he continued: “In my opinion, the most important thing is to gather other powerful families and powerful families in the world, and then get them from the Western Lands. Better firearms, even if they abandon us, we will still be able to share equal shares with King Yan.”

“Your Majesty is really far-sighted.” Liao Kai, who was sitting on Liang Feng’s left, cupped his hands. The Wang family put themselves under the emperor’s command, and then they got into a fight with the Dou family to win the entire Jiangnan.”

Liang Kai was exactly what he meant, and Han Zheng was stripping himself of the title of emperor.

Ningzhou and Bozhou of the Xie family were basically captured by King Yan, leaving only Jinling and a few cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and their strength was greatly damaged.

If you don’t let them submit to you now, let alone when.

As for the Dou family, they are also in a state of desperation right now, fighting with the Ma family soldiers and horses near Xiangcheng.

Gathering the soldiers and horses of the three powerful families, he took the opportunity to take down Xiangzhou in Nanliang, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River was basically brought under his rule.

Most importantly, the Dongying envoy proposed to let him protect the three families of the Han family, the Wang family and the Xie family in Nanliang.

Since it is asylum, allegiance to Wu is the best protection for them.

So, he said: “It’s exactly what I want, Shen An, you immediately send an envoy to Yangcheng to discuss the matter, and then send someone to Xiangcheng, and ask him Dou Wei, should he hand over Xiangzhou by himself, or should I lead the soldiers to go personally?” Take it down.”

Shen An smiled all over his face and said yes.

The Dou family deserved it, they can’t be blamed for taking advantage of others.

If they hadn’t broken the contract in Nanliang, how could the war in the north have ended like this!

…

Grassland.

Khan court.

At this moment, there is a fierce quarrel in the sweat tent.

In the end, the quarrel stopped after Mu Lehong stopped drinking.

Immediately, Mule Hongzhen and Ashur came out.

Ulanba, Tiemu Tower and some Beidi generals followed closely behind.

“I didn’t expect that the country of Ross would have such a big appetite, and wanted the entire land of the extreme north.” Tiemu Tower snorted coldly, his face still flushed with anger.

Half a month ago, Ulan Ba came back, and at the same time brought a Russian mission.

The country of Ross promised to start a trade with Beidi and sell them firearms.

However, the premise is that Beidi cede the land of the extreme north.

It was a very vast land.

Facing this question, the generals argued fiercely.

The generals headed by Ulanba believed that most of the northern land was covered with ice and snow throughout the year, so it was not of much use. It was very worthwhile to exchange the northern land for trade with Ross.

Generals such as Tiemuta believed that Beidi’s territory could not be ceded, which was related to Beidi’s dignity.

Mule Hongzhen was also hesitant, so he had to call back Ashur, who was fighting outside, to discuss the matter.

In the end, Ashur, who paid more attention to firearms, thought he could agree to the matter, and he officially settled the matter today.

After all, if Qinzhou and Yongzhou had not fallen, they might still hesitate.

However, the loss of these two prefectures and the reaction of Beidi soldiers defending the city were more powerful than ever.

Let them finally make this difficult decision.

In his opinion, ceding the land of the extreme north in exchange for trade with the country of Ross will only lose the snowfields in the north.

If King Yan continues to grow, they will lose the entire grassland.

They need the same firearms as King Yan.

Although, in this short period of time, in order to win over Beidi, Dongying restrained King Yan in the north and gave them the forging skills of flintlock guns and Dongying artillery.

But after Ulanba came back, he decided that Dongpu’s firearms were much different than Ross’s.

At this point, he and Ashur had no other choice.

“When will they provide the first batch of firearms?” Mule Hongzhen ignored Tiemu Tower’s complaints, but looked at Ulan Ba.

“Father Khan, Ivan said that as long as we sign the contract, the Russian army in the far north will hand over the firearms in the warehouse to us.” Ulanba said.

Ivan came back with him, but this time Ivan was the consul of the country of Ross, in charge of the affairs between the country of Ross and Beidi.

Mule Hongzhen and Ashur looked at each other and nodded.

Compared with other generals, Ashur knows the country of Ross better, is powerful and dangerous.

However, under the current situation, they no longer cared about guarding the country of Ross.

After learning about the battle between Qinzhou and Yongzhou, he realized how troublesome this King Yan was.

Why did Mule Hongzhen call him back from all the way.

Furthermore, Beidi has now concluded an alliance with Japan.

Recently, Dongying has been playing with some Eastern-Turkish alliance again, trying to win them into this alliance with the participation of other Western-Turkish countries.

Perhaps, this is enough for the country of Ross to curb its ambitions.

“Go and sign this contract.” When Ashur was born, Mu Lehong sighed softly.
