Chapter 862 Tuogu asks for help

In the palace of Cairo, Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, who was seriously ill, had just finished reviewing several memorials from his ministers when he felt dizzy and fell asleep on his desk.

The crown prince Zhang Wan looked at his father's bloated body.

The swelling on his face has become very serious, and his eye sockets look sunken, and he no longer looks human.

He is not very capable and cannot relieve his father's worries.

My father is seriously ill and has to take care of state affairs.

The crown prince Zhang Wan heard a quarrel coming from outside the door.

He immediately walked to the door and saw the governor Niu Xiuqing arguing with the commander of the imperial army Pang Zhe.

Niu Xiuqing said angrily: "Pang Zhe, you are so stubborn. I have important information to report to the king."

Pang Zhe said with a dead look on his face, "No one can enter this door without the king's order.

As this is my general's responsibility, please ask Mr. Niu to wait outside.

Everyone who comes to see the king has something urgent to do."

When the prince Zhang Wan heard the quarrel between the two, he opened the door and asked: "Admiral Niu, do you have anything to see my father?"

Niu Xiuqing said anxiously: "The situation of the brave army has come to an end.

The doctor asked the king to stay in a happy mood and not be irritated.

But the matter of the heroic army had to be explained to the king.

Without the king's permission, the governor's office cannot mobilize troops."

A trace of anxiety flashed in the eyes of the crown prince Zhang Wan, but his tone did not show any signs of it. He asked calmly: "Captain Niu, how is the situation of the brave army now?

My father was talking about the situation of the brave army just now.

Whether our country can withstand the attack of the European Allied Forces depends on the performance of the brave army this time."

The prince Zhang Wan was very conflicted in his heart. In terms of his own interests, he did not want the heroic army to win this battle.

But from the standpoint of the country, the brave army must fight this battle well.

Otherwise they will be attacked by the European Allied Forces, a million-strong army.

When the Ottoman Turks saw the defeat of the Min Kingdom on the battlefield, they would also take the opportunity to send troops to recapture the territory occupied by the Min Kingdom.

Fujian will fight on two fronts as a small country. The enemies on each front are countries with large populations and rich resources.

These people are a waste of money. Even if the Fujian country has superior weapons, Egypt's poverty cannot withstand the resource consumption of the war.

Governor Niu Xiuqing sighed: "The foreign troops of the Heroic Army rebelled, and the front line collapsed.

Bian Yuhe retreated to Greece with the remnants of 30,000 brave soldiers.

Greece will be attacked by more than 200,000 brave soldiers trained by us and a million European allies.

Now, not counting the foreign troops and the brave troops who retreated to Greece, there are only 100,000 defenders in Greece.

It can be defended in a short period of time by constructing forts and other fortifications.

However, Greece must be reinforced in time, or even Constantinople must be abandoned, and the Fujian military force can fully defend Greece.

This decision must be made by the king."

The crown prince Zhang Wan said angrily: "I opposed the recruitment of foreigners into the brave army back then, but Bian Yuhe made a desperate move.

Now the brave army is under attack, and a large area of ​​newly occupied territory has been lost.

Bian Yu and this incompetent person may very well ruin the national destiny of Fujian in one fell swoop.

This matter must be reported to my father."

He turned to look at Pang Zhe and ordered: "My father asked me to supervise the country. I think the situation reported by Governor Niu is urgent and I must report it to my father in person."

Tang Zhe nodded and waved his hand to ask the guards blocking the way to move out of the way.

Governor Niu Xiuqing followed the crown prince Zhang Wan into the palace.

The Crown Prince Zhang Wan walked to the side of Fujian King Zhang Yuliang. He pushed gently and said softly: "Father, please wake up. Governor Niu has something important to report."

The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang hummed softly, he slowly opened his eyes, supported his body with both hands, and slowly sat upright.

This action of his took a lot of effort.

The King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang waited for a long time before the blurry scene in front of him became clear, and he saw Niu Xiuqing who looked anxious.

"Xiuqing, is there any result from the heroic army?

Bian Yu and this guy must have been unable to hold on any longer and asked us for help.

Some time ago, he lost his temper at me due to material shortages."

Niu Xiuqing looked at the state of Fujian King Zhang Yuliang. He couldn't bear it, but the matter had to be said.

He bit the bullet and recounted in detail the story of the heroic foreign troops' rebellion, the alliance with the European Allied Forces to break through the front line, and Bian Yuhe's defeat in Greece.

After the king of Fujian Zhang Yuliang heard this, he stood up angrily and shouted: "Bian Yu is harming me, Bian Yu is harming the country."

After he finished speaking, he felt as if his brain was exploding, and then he felt dizzy and fell to the ground and fainted.

The prince Zhang Wan and Niu Xiuqing helped the Fujian king Zhang Yuliang to the bed and called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The crown prince Zhang Wan saw that his father's ears were slowly bleeding, and he leaned on the bed and cried non-stop.

Even with his limited medical knowledge, he knew that bleeding from the seven orifices was definitely not a good sign.

If the mouth and nose bleed, there is still a possibility of survival. If the ear bleeds, it is basically a silent situation.

Governor Niu Xiuqing yelled angrily: "The king is so angry with Bian Yu and this kid."

The prince Zhang Wan immediately realized that this matter was in line with the facts and beneficial to him.

Bian Yuhe's idea of ​​​​supporting his younger brother Zhang Lie's rise to power is already known to the world.

Bian Yuhe must be nailed to the pillar of shame to prevent him from making a comeback.

The crown prince Zhang Wan only needed to tell the facts he saw.

Even after his father recovered, he did not fabricate the facts.

My father has not recovered, and what he said is the truth.

The news that Fujian King Zhang Yuliang fainted spread quickly.

The imperial doctors and civil and military ministers all rushed to the palace.

Prime Minister Hu Qiwen and Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan entered the palace together with the imperial doctor.

When they saw the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang lying on his back with blood dripping from both ears, they knew that the King of Fujian must be in trouble this time.

The crown prince Zhang Wan made way for the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor carefully examined the condition of Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian. As soon as he checked, his face became very solemn.

After the imperial doctor finished the examination, he looked at everyone but hesitated to speak.

The crown prince Zhang Wan ordered: "Tell me clearly about your father's condition. Don't worry, the royal family will not vent their anger on you."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment. He knew that it would be impossible not to say anything, and then he said: "The king's situation is very bad. Even if Bian Que is alive and Hua Tuo is resurrected, this

The situation is also difficult to cure.

The king already had diabetes, which caused physical exhaustion and sudden surges of energy and blood.

According to the knowledge of Dahua Empire's anatomy, this is a rupture of blood vessels in Your Majesty's brain.

The only thing that can be done now is to give the king some sugar water and oxygen.

It's possible that the King will come back to his senses and wake up for a while.

The greater possibility is that he died directly."

Everyone present could understand that the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang basically could not survive this test.

Prime Minister Hu Qiwen, Governor Niu Xiuqing and others have begun preparing for the crown prince Zhang Wan to take over the throne.

The crown prince Zhang Wan is the only choice. He is the eldest son of Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian.

More importantly, he was the only child who played in Prince Qin's Mansion when he was a child.

The Emperor Su He and the Crown Prince Su Shu of the Great China Empire were very familiar with the Crown Prince Zhang Wan.

After the crown prince Zhang Wan came to power, the Min Kingdom and the Dahua Empire still maintained a close relationship.

It would be more reassuring for the Emperor of the Great China Empire if a familiar person takes over the throne than if a stranger takes over the throne.

The crown prince Zhang Wan is the eldest son, and his ascension to the throne is a result that can be easily accepted by the major forces in the country.

The current situation in Fujian cannot tolerate another disturbance.

The only one who opposes this matter may be Bian Yuhe, the commander of the Heroic Army.

But now that the brave army was defeated and Bian Yuhe's reputation was at its lowest, he could oppose it in time and it would not cause serious consequences.

The prince Zhang Wan still stayed by his father's bed.

The civil and military ministers of Fujian were waiting for the final result outside the palace gate. At the same time, they had arranged for their confidants to take action.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the king of Fujian Zhang Yuliang groaned in pain. He opened his eyes and found that he could no longer see anything.

The pain in my head was like tearing, and my body was extremely weak.

He knew his end was coming.

Zhang Yuliang, who had spent his life as a soldier, was always ready to return wrapped in horse leather, but at the moment when he was about to step into the gate of hell, he still felt extremely reluctant to give up.

The king of Fujian Zhang Yuliang heard the cry of his son Zhang Wan.

He didn't know why Zhang Wan was the only one present among his many sons, but his weak body could no longer tolerate unnecessary thinking.

Even if he dies, he must take care of his affairs.

Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, said in a weak but clear tone: "Is Xiaowan here? Is Qiwen here? Is Xiuqing here?"

When the crown prince Zhang Wan heard his father's call, he immediately said excitedly: "Father, my son is here."

When Prime Minister Hu Qiwen and Governor Niu Xiuqing heard the call from Fujian King Zhang Yuliang, they immediately opened the door and walked to the bed.

They kept their nerves tense, waiting for the situation in the uterus. When they found that the situation had changed, they responded very quickly.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me about this?"

"Your Majesty, you must come through. I will conquer the world with you."

When the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang heard a familiar voice, he said weakly: "My king's health has been deteriorating, and I guess he won't be able to hold on this time.

The throne was passed to the crown prince Zhang Wan.

When Xiao Wan encounters problems in national governance, she should consult Qi Wen more.

When Xiaowan encounters military problems, he should consult Xiuqing more."

When the crown prince Zhang Wan heard that his father had passed the throne to him, his heart immediately fell to the ground.

The situation he had been worried about did not happen.

Zhang Wan immediately promised: "Father, my sons and ministers must humbly learn from the Prime Minister and the Governor."

He knew that as an extremely young monarch, his footing was not yet stable.

We must rely on the strength of these veterans to maintain the stability of the country.

Only when your wings are full can you consider seizing power.

The king of Fujian Zhang Yuliang continued in a weak voice: "Qiwen, Xiuqing.

You are all Xiao Wan's elders. After I am gone, Xiao Wan can directly reprimand Xiao Wan if she makes a mistake.

Xiao Wan doesn't know much about state affairs, so I have to rely on your help."

Prime Minister Hu Qiwen and Governor Niu Xiuqing knew that Fujian King Zhang Yuliang was entrusting an orphan.

Hu Qiwen immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely assist the prince in governing the country."

Not to be outdone, Niu Xiuqing loudly assured: "Your Majesty, our monarch and his subjects have a life-long friendship.

The prince is also watched by the old minister when he grows up, and the old minister will definitely assist the prince seriously and manage the army well."

When Prince Zhang Yuliang of Fujian heard the assurances from the two veterans, he could only hope that no powerful minister would show up.

He knew that he was in poor health and had been looking for ministers to assist the prince in governing the country.

The best choice is for the five or so ministers who take care of life to check and balance each other.

But my health suddenly deteriorated and I no longer cared about better options.

After the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang explained the inheritance of the throne, his voice became even weaker.

He endured a headache and his speech became incoherent, but he could still convey his meaning clearly.

“As for this war, we cannot survive this war solely relying on the strength of our country, Fujian.

Even the European Allied forces were unable to break through the defense line in a short time.

But our country is small and weak, with limited supplies and a limited army that we can trust.

If you continue to delay, failure is already foreseeable.

The only way to survive is to seek help from the Empire.

When our vassal state encounters a crisis of national annihilation, the sovereign state has the obligation to assist.

Don't focus on temporary gains and losses, only by preserving the country..."

Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, had more to say, but he was no longer alive.

When the crown prince Zhang Wan saw his father dying, he immediately burst into tears.

Prime Minister Hu Qiwen advised: "Your Highness, you still have a lot to do now.

The first thing is to complete the simple enthronement ceremony and convey the news of the enthronement through newspapers and telegraphs.

You will then ask for help from the suzerain country in the name of the King of Fujian."

Prime Minister Hu Qiwen has always supported asking for help from the sovereign country. This requires paying a certain price, but at least it can preserve itself.

Military hardliners such as Governor Niu Xiuqing did not support asking for help from the sovereign country in previous discussions.

However, with the disastrous defeat of the brave army, it was obvious that the Fujian state could no longer withstand the enemy's attack with its own strength.

Asking for help from their overlord country was the only way to save their lives.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Niu Xiuqing heard Hu Qiwen urging the prince, he did not refute.

The most important thing now is to quell the impact of the death of Fujian King Zhang Yuliang on the country.

The best way, of course, is for a new King of Fujian to ascend the throne so that everyone can have a new object of allegiance.

Zhang Wan agreed with Hu Qiwen's opinion.

He was like a puppet on strings, standing in front of his father's soul under the witness of civil and military officials.

He put on his mang robe, sat on the dragon throne belonging to his father, and became the new King of Fujian.

The first imperial edict of the King of Fujian Zhang Wan was to bury Zhang Yuliang, the founder of the country.

In view of the actual situation in the country, all funerals will be reduced by half.

His second imperial edict was to confer official titles and honors to Minister Gu Ming and his confidants.

His third imperial edict was to let the troops guarding Cairo be stationed in Cairo from outside the city, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

The king of Fujian Zhang Wan stayed up all night. When the newspaper was published the next day, the people of Fujian knew that the king of Fujian Zhang Yuliang had passed away.

Cries resounded throughout the city of Cairo, but the situation in Fujian remained stable.

When King Zhang Wan of Fujian saw this situation, he was basically relieved.

Nothing has happened now. As his position becomes more stable, the probability of something happening in the future will be even lower.

When King Zhang Wan of Fujian went to court for the first time, he had to deal with the difficult problems caused by the brave army.

He made a decision after discussing with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Chief of Staff Gou Shanquan was dispatched with 100,000 troops to support the Greek area.

He took away most of the Fujian army, and his only mission was to not lose Greece before the suzerain's support arrived.

King Zhang Wan of Fujian sent the vast majority of Han troops to support the front line.

In the name of the King of Fujian, he formally sent a telegram to the Emperor of Great China, Su He, asking for help from the suzerain country, the Great China Empire, on the grounds that the vassal state was about to be destroyed.
