Become a feudal king from today

"Russian country?"

Yang Zhen is preparing to go to Yancheng. ReadМ

During this period of time, he has been training soldiers in Jincheng and patrolling defenses without any free time.

Recently, Ningjindusi's defense has become more stable.

He decided to go back.

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

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

Seeing it will make them sad again.

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

He believed that Beidi could no longer threaten Dasong.

Even when the time is right, King Yan will definitely make an expedition to the north and defeat Beidi.

"Just in time, let them go with me." Yang Zhen said.

This Russian envoy is escorted by Beidi cavalry, but he wants to see King Yan. I really don’t know what he is planning.

However, the longer he stayed under the command of King Yan, the more he understood how powerful this King Yan was.

No matter what it is, Russia will definitely not take advantage of it.

Decide on this matter.

Not long after, a carriage entered Jincheng, and the Beidi cavalry was 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 did not have any communication with Ivan.

He just let the soldiers come into contact with him, and they entered the palace together. He just nodded slightly to Ivan.

"General Yang Zhen is here to see His Highness."

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

Zhao Xu nodded.

Yang Zhen's coming back to visit his family was naturally approved by him in advance.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a border general to leave the station without permission.

"General Yang has been separated from Duke Yi and his beloved daughter for many years. It's time for them to reunite today. Should I let the general test out Duke Yi's reaction first?" Zhao Xu ignored Ivan and put him aside. , Yang Zhen said.

He understood Yang Zhen's emotions of wanting to see but not daring to see her during this period.

It’s even more timid to be close to home.

Yang Zhen repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists, his palms covered with beads of sweat, "Thank you, Your Highness, but I'd better let the general do it by himself. The worst he can do is get beaten by my father."

King Yan was very strict in running the army, but in private he got along very well with the generals, like friends.

This was one of the wishes that the generals also liked King Yan very much.

Even when he faced King Yan, he felt very relaxed and at ease.

However, if they make mistakes, things will be different when the time comes. King Yan will be as ruthless as Thunder Lord.

"Well, okay, if you can't stop Duke Yi's whip, you can come to me for help." Zhao Xu smiled softly, and then waved his hand, indicating that Yang Zhen could go.

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

Immediately, Zhao Xu turned his attention to Ivan standing at the foot of 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 asked Beidi to harm me with smallpox!" Zhao Xu looked at Ivan with lightning eyes and said in a stern tone, "You are so brave, you dare to come to Yanzhou!"

When Ivan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly Wulanba heard that this King of Yan had suffered from brain disease and his thoughts were difficult to understand.

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this matter is due to Beidi's persecution. I am just seeking survival. I have no choice but to do so. Furthermore, I am now the consul of the Rus' State. You Eastern natives often say that the envoys will not be killed if the two countries are at war."

Zhao Xu looked at Ivan.

It was under his guidance that Ulanba went to the country of Rus.

Now that Ulanba has returned, this Ivan has become the consul of Russia in the East.

It can be seen that the Rus Kingdom 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 Tsarist Russia in this world.

And judging from the information obtained by Fei Wen, this country of Russia also pursues a strategy of extreme expansion.

The currently reigning Emperor Nicholas the Great even said that the territory of the Russian state has no end.

It was also the long-term expansion strategy that allowed the country of Rus to grow from a small principality into a huge empire spanning the 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 and continued to invade eastward, but was defeated by Kangxi again.

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

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

But based on contemporary experience, he is still extremely wary of this Russian country.

In his opinion, Beidi is just a small trouble in the north, while Rus is the real big trouble.

They will certainly not miss any opportunity to occupy land.

"Consul Ivan, don't be nervous." Zhao Xu said teasingly, "Let's talk about the purpose of Consul Ivan coming to Yancheng this time. As far as I know, the Rus Kingdom and Beidi have close contacts, and Beidi is our university. Praising the mortal enemy, the consul shouldn’t be here to persuade us to make peace, right?”

"Of course not. Our country in Russia does not want to interfere in Dongtu's internal affairs, and our relationship with Beidi is just normal trade." Naturally, Ivan would not tell the truth to Zhao Xu.

After a pause, he continued: "This time, I mainly want to remind His Highness that Japan and Britain are forming an alliance to encircle and suppress His Highness King Yan, and they are also recruiting Beidi to join. I hope Your Highness will be vigilant."

"Oh, the Russian state really cares about me." Zhao Xu sneered, "You are worried that the establishment of this alliance will endanger your Russian state's interests in the East in the future, right? And the Northern Di and the East are ambiguous, so this king is the most suitable to act as a thug against the British, right?"

"This..." Ivan was shocked.

The eyes of the King of Yan looking at him were deep and dark, as if he saw through his heart.

"This King of Yan is really terrible." A voice sounded in Ivan's heart.

This King of Yan, who is younger than him, is smarter than he thought.

"Yes, so I think the Russian state and His Highness the King of Yan have common interests." Ivan decided not to hide it anymore.

Because he couldn't hide it from the King of Yan anymore, continuing to quibble would only mess up this mission.

"I think so too, but since it is a common interest, what support can your Russian state provide to me?" Zhao Xu tilted his head and looked at Ivan.

At present, the Russian Empire and Britain are mortal enemies. Wherever Britain is, the Russian Empire will definitely come to make trouble. This is a confrontation between the two groups in the Western Land.

Considering these, he decided to meet Ivan.

Perhaps, he can use this common interest to destroy the Eastern Land Alliance, such as working with the Russian Empire to pit Beidi and prevent it from joining the Eastern Land Alliance.

Based on his understanding of the Russian Empire, he absolutely does not want Beidi to get close to the Eastern Land Alliance.

"In order to alleviate the difficulties faced by Your Highness, we can cooperate and force Beidi to refuse to join this alliance so that Your Highness can focus on dealing with the Eastern Land Alliance." Ivan said bluntly.

This is the real purpose of his visit this time.

The Russian Empire wants to completely control Beidi, especially does not want Beidi to join this Eastern Land Alliance and have contact with their enemy Britain.

He believes that the King of Yan does not want to be surrounded by enemies.

As for the King of Yan, the Russian Empire is currently separated from Dasong by Beidi, and the two sides have no direct conflict of interest for the time being.

Taking advantage of its contradictions with Beidi, letting Beidi rely on the Russian Empire and then fight against the Eastern Land Alliance is obviously in the best interests of the Russian Empire.

After all, he believed that both sides would suffer losses in the melee between the King of Yan and the East Earth Alliance.

Then it would be the time for the Russian Empire to expand in the East Earth.
