In the Kingdom of Liao, in the Jade City, the King of Liao sat on a throne paved with tiger skin, forged with gold and inlaid with precious stones. On it were not only dragons and phoenixes from the East, but also wolves from the grassland.
He wore a small round hat on his head and hit the golden chair angrily:
"Xing Guo and my ancestor are close brothers. Even if there is no heir, it should be adopted by my family. Why does the court need to come?"
"Your Highness, this is the practice of the imperial court!"
The Prime Minister Zuo lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Side has a suspicious character. If we go against his wishes, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
When King Zhu Zhizhou of Liao heard this, his face became even more ugly.
He is not against adoption.
After all, the country has been rejuvenating and prospering for hundreds of years. These two generations of King Xing have died out, but there are many other concubines from the clan. Although they are far away, they still have the right to inherit.
For example, those five great kings were sealed in the land of Persia and were called lonely and widowed in their own territory.
The strength of the five people is almost the same, no matter which one takes the throne, it will cause dissatisfaction among the others, so the crown prince has always been undecided.
But the imperial court insists on bringing a prince over. This is okay, but why?
"Why?" At this time, the right minister said what the king of Liao was thinking: "What the king said is absolutely true. If it weren't for the protection of our country, how could the Xing country be stable for more than a hundred years."
"Furthermore, our two countries are as close as brothers. We help each other and are connected by blood. If we are adoptive, the people of Xing will be more happy with our king's blood!"
Hearing this, King Liao couldn't help but smile.
He now has five sons, all of whom are successful. It would be great if one of them inherits the Xing Kingdom. When the time comes, Xing and Liao will become one, and who among the northwest kingdoms will dare to act arrogantly?
"I remember, isn't there five small princes in the Xing Kingdom? Let him be in chaos first, and it is best to drive away the emperor's son. When the time comes, I, the Liao Kingdom, will send troops to cook the rice..."
Speaking of this, King Liao couldn't help but smile happily.
Several prime ministers were speechless.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly came to report.
King Liao was shocked when he saw the news. He stood up suddenly and couldn't believe it:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The prime ministers were shocked and circulated the letter.
I saw it written on it that two days ago, the five great kings of the Xing Kingdom welcomed the second prince in the Zhao Kingdom, and then returned to the capital together to proclaim him the crown prince of the Xing Kingdom. The next day, a coronation ceremony was held to announce it to the world.
In other words, the second prince secretly bribed most of the people in the Xing Kingdom and secured the throne.
The left prime minister became more rational. He held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is a consensus reached by the five kings of Xing Kingdom."
"They would rather welcome a prince of the imperial court than you. You don't want anyone to be the king. At the same time, they are not willing to accept our Liao Kingdom as the master."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The interests represented by welcoming the prince remain unchanged.
At the same time, the princes of the Liao Kingdom were eliminated because they did not want the Xing Kingdom to become a vassal and completely surrender to the Liao Kingdom, which would affect their interests.
The King of Liao also figured this out and exhaled: "Damn it!"
Half lying down, the King of Liao had a strange mind and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Ottomans are declining, can we wear the caliphate?"
"As long as I am the Caliph, how can Xing Guo dare to be so arrogant?"
The prime ministers were speechless.
The Xing Kingdom became a vassal state from the Great Ancestor, reformed the Peace Sect, and initiated the Truth in the Koran movement, and the entire Xing Kingdom became unified.
A large number of imams have lost their right to speak, because as long as they can read the Quran, there is no need for imams to interpret it.
In this way, after the Shiye sect and the Sunni sect, the Peace Sect gave birth to the Truth sect country, that is, with the Liao Kingdom as the center, Xing, Zhao and other northwest countries, and there was the Cao Kingdom in Kashmir.
Now the King of Liao calls himself Shah (Sultan), but he is still not satisfied and wants to wear the crown of Caliph.
As we all know, there can only be one caliphate in the world of Peace Religion, which was snatched away by the Ottoman Empire after destroying the Mamluk dynasty.
If the King of Liao declares himself Caliph, it will trigger a war.
"Your Highness, think twice!"
All the ministers knelt down and tried to persuade him.
Unexpectedly, the King of Liao didn't take it seriously: "Ottoman is thousands of miles away from us, separated by mountains and seas. The only people we consider are the Persians."
"But isn't Xing State in the south?"
As he said that, King Liao showed a smile: "Persia sends troops. I'll see how the new King Xing responds when Persia sends troops. Will he have to ask us for help then?"
This explanation immediately made all the ministers stunned.
Just as the meeting was about to end, news came from the Nogai Prairie.
"What, the Manchus were defeated?"
The King of Liao was stunned and couldn't believe it.
It is really confusing to know that the feud with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years was actually a serious problem for the Liao Kingdom. Now it is gone in one day.
"Your Majesty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was attacked several times by Queen Narakshasa. A month ago, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated, and more than 30,000 people were annihilated. The troops surrounded the capital of Liao.
Now that the messenger has arrived in your kingdom, I dare not make the decision!"
The ministers from the Xining Kingdom on the Nogai Grassland told about this incident.
"Let them come over!"
Suddenly, the King of Liao became vigilant again.
If the Manchus were gone, the Rakshasa people would still be like the Manchus, even more ferocious, with strong soldiers and horses.
"If a wolf goes away, I'm afraid another tiger will come!"
The King of Liao suddenly stood up: "Let the vassal government prepare 20,000 cavalry, 5,000 musketeers, and 100 artillery pieces. It's time for Liao to become famous in Europe."
"As long as the Rakshasas are defeated, will the Ottomans dare to attack them?"
"yes!"
…
At this time, North America.
A group of three thousand soldiers and horses marched slowly.
There were countless shrubs, branches, leaves, insects, snakes, rats, and ants on the road, so the army was marching at a speed of twenty miles a day.
"Bah, is this what humans treat you like?"
"You said you can't afford tea, so why are you rebelling?"
Zhu Jiafu looked at the embarrassed soldiers and horses in front of him and felt a little dazed for a moment.
Needless to say, there were difficulties and obstacles along the way, but this war was really confusing.
It was not for the purpose of expanding the territory, but to support the British and barbarians in suppressing the rebellion.
What does this do to them?
The North American Governor's Mansion, plus the Xin Kingdom, the Pu Kingdom, and the Shu Kingdom that had been enthroned for less than ten years, and King Ying's troops, totaling three thousand people, set out to the west in a mighty manner.
We have been walking for almost two months, we don’t have much food, and we haven’t seen any town yet.
"How long will it take?"
Zhu Jiafu asked the two guides.
One is a Red Yi (Indian) and the other is a French Yi.
"General, it seems that we have walked this road before, and we will reach Louisiana in a few hundred miles, where there is a French colony!"
Hearing this, he was shocked.
Sure enough, after walking for less than three days, they saw a settlement.
The French quickly surrounded them and stood ready.
After some explanation, unexpectedly, the French people immediately changed their colors and refused to give way.
"General, now France and the Americans are allies. Although you are a neutral country, we will never let you pass."
The French guy with curly hair said seriously.
Zhu Jiafu was helpless: "I have a letter from the Ming Emperor here. Aren't you French people afraid of offending my Ming Dynasty?"
The French communicated a few words among themselves, and then said seriously: "Sorry, we will not betray our allies."
Zhu Jiafu was completely confused.
They didn't anticipate enough, and if they couldn't get supplies from France, they would really be in trouble.
“How many French are there in Louisiana?”
Zhu Jiafu asked the guide.
"General, although the war in America is about to end, there are still tens of thousands of French troops repairing in Louisiana, and there are many hunters with guns!"
