Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 717 The turmoil surges

"Father, this is called the turn of events, the right and left."

The banquet atmosphere was in full swing, and Prince Liang Feng raised his glass to propose a toast to Liang Kai.

In order not to let the Sam State envoy hear, he deliberately lowered his voice.

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

Lincheng was filled with gloom and misery.

Originally, their original intention was to let the other four families fight with King Yan so that both sides would suffer losses, and they only sent 50,000 troops to go through the motions.

Unexpectedly, their expectations were frustrated due to the problem of Nanliang, and the fate of Wu was also in danger.

They were hesitating whether to send troops northward to resist the king of Yan with the powerful tribes in the north.

Envoys from the Kingdom of Sam arrived to win them over to join the Eastern-Turkish Alliance.

"This is all because the emperor was calm and did not agree to the Sam people from the beginning, otherwise he would not be able to get out of his territory." The minister sitting opposite Liang Feng bowed his hand to Liang Kai and also lowered his voice.

He is Shen An, the prime minister of the State of Wu, and his Shen family is known as the most powerful family in Zhezhou after the Liang family.

During Liang Kai's tenure in Jinling, Shen An had been in charge of Zhezhou.

Together with General Liao Kai, he is Liang Kai's right-hand man.

"Hahaha..." Liang Kai smiled proudly.

Shen An was right in saying this.

The Sam State envoy initially only asked the Liang family to join the Eastern-Turk Alliance, but did not give them any benefits.

At that time, although he was moved, he did not agree immediately.

Instead, he said that civil strife was a family matter and did not require outsiders' involvement, so he rejected the envoys from the Kingdom of Sam.

After that, the envoy from Sam State agreed to mediate the conflict between Wu State and Britain, and at the same time asked Britain to make a promise not to target the Liang family's maritime trade.

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

Only then will he coexist with Japan in the Eastern-Turk Alliance.

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

As a result, his bet was right, and both the Sam State envoy and the Japanese envoy could not 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 Japan, Sam Country or Britain, they are external forces after all. If the situation is not right or the King of Yan gives them greater benefits, they will run away at any time. Do not risk your wealth or life." Entrusted to them, they can only be used, not trusted. "

After a pause, he continued: "In my opinion, the most important thing is to gather the soldiers and horses of other powerful tribes and the world's wealthy families, and then get better firearms from the Western Land. Even if they abandon us, we can still compete with King Yan." have equal shares."

"Your Majesty is really far-sighted." Liao Kai, who was sitting on Liang Feng's left hand side, said with cupped hands, "This is the right time to let the Xie family, Han family, and Wang family join the Emperor's command, and then compete with the Dou family to take over the entire Jiangnan."

Liang Kai meant exactly this, and Han Zheng was cutting off his imperial title.

The Xie family's Ningzhou and Bozhou 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 reduced.

If you don't let them surrender to you now, then when will you wait?

As for the Dou family, they are also in dire straits now and are fighting with the Ma family soldiers near Xiangcheng.

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

The most important thing is that the Japanese envoy proposed to let him protect the Han family, Wang family and Xie family in Nanliang.

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

So, he said: "It's just what I wanted, Shen An. You immediately send envoys to Yangcheng to discuss the matter, and then send people to Xiangcheng to ask him whether Dou Wei will hand over Xiangzhou himself, or I will lead the troops to go there in person." Take it."

Shen An said yes with a smile on his face.

The Dou family deserved this, and we can't blame them for taking advantage of others' danger.

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

grassland.

Khan court.

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

In the end, the quarrel stopped after Mullerhonzhen drank.

Immediately, Mule Hongzhen and Ashur came out.

Ulanba, Temuta and some Beidi generals followed closely.

"I didn't expect that the appetite of the Rus' country would be so big, and they actually wanted the entire Far North." Temuta snorted coldly, his face still flushed with blood from anger.

Half a month ago, Ulanba came back and brought a Russian delegation with him.

The Russian state promised to start trade with Beidi and sell firearms to them.

However, the premise is to let Beidi cede the far north.

That is a very vast land.

Faced with this problem, the generals argued fiercely.

The generals headed by Ulanba believe that the Far North is mostly covered with ice and snow throughout the year and is of little use. It is worth exchanging the Far North for trade with the Russian state.

However, Tiemuta and other generals believed that not a single inch of Beidi's territory could be ceded, as this was related to Beidi's dignity.

Muller Hongzhen was also hesitant and had to call Ashur back from the war to discuss the matter.

In the end, Ashur, who paid more attention to firearms, thought he could agree to the matter, and he made it official today.

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

However, the loss of these two states and the reaction of the Beidi soldiers guarding the city made Yanzhou's firearms more powerful than before.

They finally made this difficult decision.

In his opinion, ceding the Far North in exchange for trade with the Russian State would only cost them the snowfields in the north.

If the King of Yan continued to grow, they would lose the entire grassland.

They really needed the same firearms as the King of Yan.

Although, in this short period of time, in order to win over the Northern Di and contain the King of Yan in the north, the Japanese gave them the forging skills of flintlock rifles and Japanese artillery.

But after Ulanba came back, he determined that the firearms of the Japanese were far inferior to those of the Russian State.

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

"When can they provide the first batch of firearms?" Mule Hongzhen ignored Timothy's complaints and looked at Ulanba.

"My father, 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 Russian State, responsible for the affairs between the Russian State and the Northern Di.

Mule Hongzhen and Ashur looked at each other and nodded.

Compared with other generals, Ashur knows more about the Russian state, which is powerful and dangerous.

However, in the current situation, they can no longer take care of the Russian state.

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

Why did Mule Hongzhen call him back from thousands of miles away?

Moreover, Beidi has now signed an alliance with Dongying.

Recently, Dongying has been tinkering with some East Earth Alliance, trying to attract them to join this alliance with other Western Earth countries.

Perhaps, this is enough for the Russian state to curb its ambitions.

"Go sign this contract." Mule Hongzhen sighed softly when Ashur was coming out.
