Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 702

[Chapter 702 Common Interest]

“Ros Country?”

Yang Zhen was preparing to go to Yan City.

During this period of time, he has been training soldiers in Jincheng, patrolling the defense, and has no idle time.

Recently, the defense of Ning Jindu Division has become more stable.

He decided to go back.

After all, he has not met his father and daughter so far.

At first, he was worried that he would die in the battle of Ning Jin.

Seeing them will make them sad again.

But with the installation of rifled guns and the supply of yellow gunpowder.

He thought that Beidi could no longer threaten Dasong.

Even when the time is right, King Yan will definitely make a northern expedition to pacify Beidi.

“Just right, let them go with me.” Yang Zhen said.

The Russian envoy came here under the escort of the Beidi cavalry, but he wanted to see the King of Yan again. What the hell was he planning?

But the longer he was under King Yan, the more he knew how powerful this King Yan was.

No matter what it is, it will definitely not let the country of Ross take advantage of it.

Set the matter.

Not long after, a carriage entered Jincheng, and Beidi cavalry were left outside the city.

Just let them escort the Russian envoys.

Three days later.

The group arrived at Yancheng, and Yang Zhen led Ivan straight to the palace.

Along the way, Yang Zhen didn’t have any communication with Ivan.

He just let the soldiers contact him, and the two entered the palace together, and he only nodded slightly to Ivan.

“The last general, Yang Zhen, sees Your Highness.”

When he arrived at the meeting hall, Yang Zhen gave a military salute to Zhao Xu who was sitting at the head seat.

Zhao Xu nodded.

Yang Zhen’s return to visit his relatives was naturally agreed in advance by him.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a border general to leave the station without authorization.

“General Yang, Duke Yi and his beloved daughter have been separated for many years, and it’s time to reunite today, or should I let the king explore Duke Yi’s reaction for the general first?” Zhao Xu ignored Iwan, but put him aside first. , Yang Zhen said.

He understood Yang Zhen’s emotions of wanting to see but not daring to see him during this time.

It’s more timid to be close to the nostalgia.

Yang Zhen clenched and loosened his fists repeatedly, sweat dripping from his palms, “Thank you, Your Highness, but let the general come by himself, at worst, I will be beaten by my father.”

Yan Wang was very strict in governing the army, but he got along very well with the general in private. Harmonious, like friends.

This is also one of the wishes that the generals also like King Yan very much.

Including when he faced King Yan, he also felt very relaxed.

However, if they make mistakes, it will be different at that time. King Yan will be as ruthless as Lei Gong.

“Well, good, if you can’t stop Duke Yi’s whip, you can come and ask the king for help.” Zhao Xu smiled lightly, then waved his hand, indicating that Yang Zhen can go.

Yang Zhen chuckled twice, gave another military salute, turned and left.

Immediately, Zhao Xu turned his attention to Ivan who was standing under the steps.

Before Yang Zhen set off, he sent a fast horse to inform him of the matter.

He was mentally prepared for the arrival of the Russian envoy.

“You are the one who made Beidi harm me with smallpox!” Zhao Xu looked at Iwan with lightning-like eyes, and said in a stern tone, “You are so brave, you dare to come to Yanzhou!”

Iwan heard , my heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, Ulan Ba said that the king of Yan had suffered from brain disease and his thoughts were difficult to figure out.

He hurriedly said: “Your Highness, this matter was persecuted by Beidi, and I just wanted to survive, and I had to. Besides, I am now the consul of the country of Ross, and you people in the East often say that the two countries are fighting without killing.”

Zhao Xu looked forward to To Ivan.

It was under his guidance that Ulan Ba went to the country of Ross.

Now that Ulanba has returned, this Ivan has also become the consul of the Ross Kingdom in the East.

It can be seen that the country of Ross has established close ties with Beidi.

The position of the Russian state is the position occupied by contemporary Tsarist Russia.

In fact, it is equivalent to the Tsarist Russia of this world.

Moreover, according to the information obtained from Feiwen, this country of Ross also pursues the strategy of extreme expansion.

The current reigning Emperor Nicholas even once said that the territory of Rus has no end.

It is also the long-term expansion strategy that has allowed Ross to grow from a small principality to a huge empire spanning east and west.

In contemporary times, Tsarist Russia had a war with the Qing Dynasty in order to expand eastward, and was defeated by Kangxi.

At the same time, he supported Ge Erdan, continued to invade eastward, and was defeated by Kangxi again.

After the Opium War, a huge amount of territory was swallowed up.

So, even though this is a parallel world, it has nothing to do with contemporary times.

But based on contemporary experience, he is still extremely vigilant against this country of Ross.

In his opinion, Beidi is just a small trouble in the north, and Ross country is the real big trouble.

They will certainly not let go of any opportunity to encroach on the land.

“Consul Ivan don’t need to be nervous.” Zhao Xu teased, “Let’s talk about the purpose of Consul Ivan’s visit to Yancheng this time. As far as this king knows, the country of Ross and Beidi have very close contacts, and Beidi is my university student. Praise to the mortal enemy, the consul is here, isn’t it for the purpose of persuading peace?”

“Of course not, our country of Ross doesn’t want to meddle in the internal affairs of the East, and our relationship with Beidi is just a normal trade relationship.” Naturally, Ivan would not agree with Zhao Xu to be frank.

After a pause, he continued: “This time, I mainly want to remind His Highness that Dongying and Britain are forming an alliance to encircle and suppress His Highness King Yan, and are also trying to recruit Beidi to join. I hope His Highness will be vigilant.”

“Oh, The country of Ross really cares about this king.” Zhao Xu sneered, “You are worried that the establishment of this alliance will endanger the interests of your country of Ross in the east, right? And Beidi has an ambiguous relationship with Dongying. It’s suitable to be a thug against the Britons, isn’t it?”

“This…” Ivan was shocked.

King Yan looked at him with deep and dark eyes, as if he could see through his heart.

“This King Yan is really scary.” A voice sounded in Ivan’s heart.

This King Dasong Yan, who was younger than him, was smarter than he imagined.

“Yes, so I think the country of Ross has common interests with His Royal Highness King Yan.” Ivan decided not to hide any more.

Because he couldn’t hide it from the King of Yan, if he continued to quibble, he would only mess up this mission.

“This king also thinks so, but since it is a common interest, what kind of support can your country of Ross provide to this king?” Zhao Xu tilted his head and looked at Ivan.

At present, the country of Ross and Britain are deadly enemies. Where there is Britain, the country of Ross will definitely make trouble. This is a confrontation between the two groups of Western and Turkish.

It was with this in mind that he decided to see Ivan.

Perhaps, he can use this common point of interest to destroy the East-Turk Alliance, such as cheating Beidi with the country of Ross, so that he cannot join the East-Turk Alliance.

Based on his understanding of the country of Ross, he absolutely does not want Beidi and the Eastern Turk Alliance to get closer.

“In order to alleviate the difficulties faced by His Highness, we can cooperate to force Beidi to refuse to join this alliance, so that His Highness can focus on dealing with the Eastern Turk Alliance.” Ivan said bluntly.

This is the real purpose of his visit this time.

The country of Ross wants to completely control Beidi, and especially does not want Beidi to join the Eastern Land Alliance and have contact with their enemy, Britain.

He believed that King Yan did not want to be enemies on all sides.

As for King Yan, Ross State and Dasong are currently separated by Beidi, and the two sides have no direct conflict of interest for the time being.

Taking advantage of its conflict with Beidi, it is obviously in the best interests of the Ross country to let Beidi attach itself to the country of Ross and then fight against the Eastern Turk Alliance.

After all, after the scuffle between King Yan and the Eastern Land Alliance, he believed that both sides would lose.

At that time, it will be time for the country of Ross to expand in the east.
