Chapter 286 Set Sail
When Dugu Junjie was galloping across the sea, the kingdom of Langya officially fell into the embrace of the Xiaoyao faction. The envoys from the Danyang Kingdom also officially came to the Canglan Kingdom and started negotiations between the two parties.
The emissary of the Danyang Kingdom is Song Qiming, the crown prince of the Danyang Kingdom. There are also prime ministers and Wang Fei.
The person who received the envoy from the Kingdom of Danyang was still Huang Shaoxian, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Canglan. But this time, the prince of Canglan Kingdom, Ning Chengwu, was added.
Huang Shaoxian was the first to speak: "I have considered your country's proposal for two days, but there are still a few small questions. As a western country, why don't you completely rely on the country of Qixia? I believe that if your country is completely If you take refuge in the Qixia Kingdom, the Qixia Kingdom will not stand still."
Wang Fei, the Prime Minister of the Danyang Kingdom, said sullenly: "Because... even His Majesty cannot completely ignore the voices in the country.
The kingdom of Qixia massacres the nobles, making the families in the kingdom of Danyang both hate and fear. One must know that the Qixia Kingdom even drove away such a power as the Nine Suns Sect. Call it crazy.
I can't approve of treating nobles like this! "
Huang Shaoxian showed a half-smile smile on his face: So you are scared! The so-called "domestic voices cannot be ignored", is nothing more than the fact that the domestic nobles have emptied the royal family, that's all.
But then Huang Shaoxian's face flashed a little dignified, he...is also a nobleman. Hearing the changes in Qixia Kingdom, Huang Shaoxian had to be vigilant.
He thought for a while and asked Wang Fei: "Are you really sure that the changes in Qixia Kingdom will have a huge impact?"
"I'm sure!"
"why?"
"Because...they won!" Wang Fei's face was extremely serious, "The Qixia Kingdom is an industrial and commercial...rebellion! Yes, it is a rebellion! But they actually won.
Not only did they win, but they also 'led' the domestic situation and supported the Queen.
I believe that in the country of Qixia, the real sovereign should be Zhang Hao. Behind Zhang Hao is the Xuanzhen Sect, and his subordinates control the Dayang Group and so on. The queen is just a puppet, maybe she is Zhang Hao's woman!
In short, the Qixia Kingdom has won now, and industry and commerce have begun to be practiced throughout the country. I am worried that with the rise of Qixia Kingdom, its influence will inevitably expand. At that time, the industrial and commercial classes of the surrounding countries...may also follow suit, and even take refuge in Qixia Country. "
Huang Shaoxian nodded: "What you said... makes sense. But there is one more point, why do you have to be a vassal state?"
Yes, why do you have to be a vassal state? Can you form an alliance? The big deal is that you are in the position of a younger brother; but what kind of relationship is a vassal state? It’s a bit like a subordinate relationship—at least similar.
Wang Fei replied very seriously: "The Danyang Kingdom can no longer stand the toss, we can only adopt the safest method. Ask the Canglan Kingdom to send troops to help put down the rebellion.
Afterwards, the country of Danyang will assist the country of Canglan to manage the west of the continent of fertile soil.
As long as the country of Danyang is stable, we can send legions to assist your country in fighting! "
In fact, the royal family of the Danyang Kingdom can only control less than half of the area of the Danyang Kingdom; and this half of the area is actually controlled by aristocratic families. The royal family simply cannot directly control or ensure a state of dominance.
What is really completely controlled by the royal family is only a county, and there are nobles who are entrenched and tied.
The changes that have taken place in the Qixia Kingdom, the royal family of the Danyang Kingdom has seen and envied them. Wang Fei said that the country of Qixia might be taken over by the industrial and commercial class such as Zhang Hao, but that is just nonsense. It's just sour jealousy! There is also a fear.
And the country that promoted the country of Danyang to make such a decision was also the country of Jinyang. Compared with the country of Qixia, although the country of Jinyang did not kill the nobles in the country to develop industry and commerce; but the country of Jinyang also used the opportunities of war and the military power of the East , completed a purge, and the royal power was unprecedentedly strong.
And now that the country of Jinyang has formed an alliance with the country of Qixia, it will definitely be affected. The people of insight in Danyang Kingdom have seen the future of Jinyang Kingdom and the future of the West of Fertile Land.
Under such circumstances, the country of Danyang is very dangerous.
In fact, the royal family of the country of Danyang might not want to follow the example of the country of Qixia and the country of Jinyang. But couldn't find an opportunity to clean it up. Especially after the actions of the Qixia Kingdom and the Jinyang Kingdom, the aristocratic system of the Danyang Kingdom began to unite and jointly persecute the royal family.
The royal family had no other choice, so they had no choice but to bow their heads to the Land of Canglan.
Perhaps the royal family has a period of transformation into gods, but the period of transformation into gods does not represent everything. If the nobles in the country really want to rebel collectively, the country of Danyang might be destroyed in a matter of minutes. At that time, it was hard to say what the fate of the royal family would be.
Countries have never been a simple accumulation. But the reason why Wang Fei is talking nonsense is because - Wang Fei himself is also a representative of the nobles of the Danyang Kingdom. He needs to create a positive image and helplessness of the Danyang Kingdom, and discredit the Qixia Kingdom.
Huang Shaoxian, the left minister of the Canglan Kingdom, nodded slowly, and everyone began to negotiate the details. Since it is a vassal state, the emperor of Danyang Kingdom needs to come to see and pay tribute every year. In the future, it must also accept the control of the Canglan Kingdom. Otherwise, if the Canglan Kingdom sends troops to attack, the surrounding countries will stand by and watch.
As for the conditions, the country of Danyang will need to pay 20% of the country's fiscal revenue every year in the future.
There are several other conditions.
In the end, the crown prince of the Danyang Kingdom signed on behalf of the Danyang Kingdom without saying a word. From then on, the country of Danyang is a subsidiary country of the country of Canglan. After this, it will be difficult to change.
From the beginning to the end, the prince of Danyang Kingdom didn't speak much, like a marionette, only a little flexible when he signed the final signature.
For Wang Fei and other nobles and aristocratic families, they like this result. Everyone will be safe from now on. But for the royal family, it's a disgrace. But what can be done, the country is controlled by nobles and aristocratic families, and the royal family is helpless.
It's really nonsense that 'the royal family and noble families rule together'. This is a real sentence, without the slightest moisture.
The world of practice is very ancient, and there are so many families and sects, big and small. Moreover, the life expectancy of many families far exceeds that of the country. After a country is established, it is inevitable to deal with various families.
That is to say, the country of Qixia is located in the west of the continent of fertile soil, and the family background is weak; if it is in other places, Liu Xinyu, or even the country of Jinyang, would have done so if they dared to do so.
In other words, if the West of Fertile Land had not been exploited and the family could not develop, people like Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu would have been hanged and beaten long ago. But having said that, that was the case, but it gave Zhang Hao and Qixia Country a chance.
In the end, with the help of this war, a new industrial and commercial class was supported, and the domestic aristocratic and family systems were overthrown in one go.
Things are so wonderful sometimes, as the saying goes, good luck depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on good fortune. Once the country of Qixia has been oppressed by the east, the continuous eastward conquests have caused the country to wither. In such a barren place, there is almost no soil for aristocratic families and the like to survive.
Every time the people who died in the Eastern Expedition, you should be ordinary people, and they are all practitioners. Those generals, officials, etc. are all talents drawn from aristocratic families. In the past, the great emperors of Qixia Kingdom were not stupid, they would send a group of people to consume them every time there was a war.
The Eastern Expedition is not just about external expansion. And a cleanup of the interior!
To sum up, why Liu Xinyu can accept "a constitutional monarchy, the king is under the law"? Because the royal family did not have much absolute centralization in the past. Although the current state of Qixia states that the king is under the law, there is still one prerequisite after all—a constitutional monarchy. The finalization of the law still requires Liu Xinyu's nod.
In this way, the rights of the royal family have actually increased a lot.
But the country of Qixia has this opportunity, but the country of Danyang does not. The country was overshadowed by aristocratic families and noble sects. So much so that right now, the prince of Danyang Kingdom could only silently accept his share of the contract, bid farewell with a bleak expression, and turned to leave.
But Wang Fei said goodbye with a smile on his face.
On the side of the Canglan Country, the Prime Minister Huang Shaoxian enthusiastically went out to see him off.
But no one saw that Ning Chengwu, the prince of Canglan Kingdom, was leaning on the chair, and there was a certain kind of light flashing in the depths of his eyes. For the expression of the prince of Danyang Kingdom just now, he saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and empathized with him.
Both of them are princes!
After returning to the Prince's mansion, Ning Chengwu thought for a long time, and suddenly went into the palace to discuss with his father for a long time, and finally the prince found Fu Yun again, saying that he would go to the Qixia Kingdom to visit.
"After all, we have cooperated before, so it should be okay to go and have a look? I am very curious about the current state of the Qixia Kingdom. Especially that... Queen!"
Fu Yun sighed: "You don't want me to take a break, do you? For a while, I have become the image ambassador of the two countries."
"Just trouble me, sir." Ning Chengwu accompanied him with a smile.
"You want to go see the queen, right? But I advise you to be careful, the queen is cruel. It's not the one who was ostracized as Wang Fei said, but the one who really holds the real power.
Ascension to the throne with the body of a woman, you know something. "
…………
Here in the Zhang family, Dugu Junjie and Chen Yansong looked at each other in shock for a long time.
After a while, Chen Yansong squeezed out a smile: "Master, I have been looking for you for almost twenty years! For this reason, I also set up a mercenary group to scout for information. I didn't know about you, Master, until Bai Ye came here this time. Came here unexpectedly."
Zhang Hao watched from the side and felt that the amount of information was a bit too much, so he turned his head to look at Bai Ye, but Bai Ye always kept that faint, gracious (adverse) smile.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and suddenly realized that whether it was Feng Zhiling or Bai Ye, they were all disciples sent out by Xuanzhen Sect, and each of them was so special.
Dugu Junjie was still a little dazed, he opened his mouth, and finally said with some difficulty: "Uncle Chen... twenty years ago, where were you...?"
Chen Yansong's complexion changed, and emotions such as remorse flashed across his complexion, and he said slowly: "Twenty years ago, I went to Liuli Island."
"Liuli Island?" Dugu Junjie frowned, apparently he had never heard of it. Of course, Zhang Hao has never heard of it.
"It's a long story, how about we change places?"
Zhang Hao said, "Come with me."
Everyone came to the Zhang family's compound in front and sat down in a beautiful gazebo. The autumn wind is already slightly cool, but everyone is a practitioner and doesn't care about the temperature, but can appreciate the beauty of nature.
The fallen leaves are fluttering all around, and the golden Lingdao fluctuates slightly in the wind. Under the tall plants, there are occasional busy figures.
A maid brought tea and left. Chen Yansong sighed and slowly unfolded the events of the year.
Back then, the country of Shaoze was not in chaos, but a crisis had already emerged. General Dugu Xin of the Shangzhu Kingdom advocated the weakening of nobles and families, but was counterattacked. A few days later, at midnight, they were exterminated. (See Chapter 190 for details)
But at that time Chen Yansong left. As the chief bodyguard of the family, Chen Yansong was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at that time, and he was one of the best masters in the family, second only to the head of the family, Dugu Xin, who was already a master at the early stage of Huashen.
At that time, Chen Yansong's cultivation had reached its peak, a state called 'Great Perfection'. At this time, you can try to attack the stage of transforming gods.
But it is not so simple to enter the stage of transforming gods, and requires more advanced aura guidance. Usually people refer to this more advanced aura as the aura of fairy spirits.
At that time, Duguxin had already felt the crisis of the family, so Duguxin urgently needed a second stage of transformation to stabilize the family. As long as there are two god-turning stages in the Dugu family, as long as they don't rebel, no one can do anything about it.
It's just that the fairy aura needed to become a god-forming stage is very rare. Generally, they are controlled by the Holy Land, and there is only one chance to open them in decades, or even hundreds of years. At that time, the Holy Land was at least 20 or 30 years away from the next opening.
If Chen Yansong went to the east to look for opportunities, it would probably take more than ten years to go back and forth, and the Dugu family couldn't wait so long, and the result was still uncertain.
So there is only one place to go - Liuli Island!
The ocean in the north is called the Sea of Glazed Glass.
In the northernmost part of Fertility Continent, across thousands of miles of ocean, there is a glazed island. Liuli Island, full of aura, is frozen for most of the year and half of the year. In this wonderful environment, Liuli Island is like a fairy tale world.
But in the depths of this fairy tale world, there is a "relic". The ruins are almost buried under the glacier, with only a few crevasses serving as entrances.
In this ruins, there are many "broken spaces". Many spaces have been dilapidated, and there is nothing; some spaces are even inhabited by ordinary humans. But in more spaces, there are exotic flowers and plants, monsters, and even evil monsters.
But in a very small number of spaces, there may be 'fairy spirit'!
This relic space on Liuli Island has attracted a large number of practitioners from the Fertile Continent and even other continents. Among them, there are not only opportunities to break through the stage of transforming gods, but also exotic flowers and plants, etc., many of which have been harvested in the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage.
But because Liuli Island is thousands of miles away from the mainland, and there is a mighty and dangerous open sea in the middle, it is mainly the Nascent Soul Stage and the Transformation Stage that go to explore.
However, in such a "land outside the world" hanging overseas, chaos can be imagined. Everyone who goes to Liuli Island must be prepared to die. The crisis here has three main aspects: the environment, monsters, and people! Especially 'people' are the most dangerous.
Because it is very dangerous, and there are many large and small spaces inside the ruins, it is like an underground world, so it is named: Chaos Hell.
But there is also big opportunity here. For example, becoming the spirit spirit of the transformation stage.
Chen Yansong was very lucky. According to the information provided by Dugu Xin, he found an inconspicuous space. In this inconspicuous space, there was a complete fairy spirit.
Chen Yansong retreated for about two months. Thanks to his solid foundation, he became a god in one breath. Then, regardless of consolidating his cultivation, he hurried back to the country of Shaoze.
But two months later, the world has completely changed.
Just a few days after Chen Yansong left, the Dugu family was wiped out, leaving no one behind, only the corpses and ruins that were left unattended all over the place.
A few days later, when the great emperor of Shaoze Kingdom was going to the Royal Hunting Garden, he was regarded as prey by others. An arrow flying from ten miles away took the life of the Great Emperor.
Since then, the kingdom of Shaoze has been completely divided, and the princes, major families, warlords, local generals, etc. have all become independent.
After returning, Chen Yansong endured grief and anger, found all the corpses, identified them one by one, and buried them in peace. Many of the corpses that Chen Yansong saw were only skeletons, which could only be identified from their clothing and accessories. What followed was a twenty-year search.
Search for the survivors of the Dugu family and search for the enemies of the year. Over the years, many people have been killed openly or covertly—the stage of transformation into a god cannot take the initiative to attack ordinary people; but you have already wiped out a lot of people, and you still expect the stage of transformation into a god to keep your hands?
Dugu Junjie's eyes were red, and he yelled: "Have you seen my father? Where are my older brothers?"
"Master... should have given his family a chance to escape, and was besieged to death by the rest of the god transformation stage. When I saw the master, his bones were dark red and loose, which was caused by the burning source. The master was...by several guns The spears are nailed to the wall!
As for the young master... he should be dead. I only found you and the second young master at the scene. "
"Ah..." Dugu Junjie roared angrily. The sound of grief attracted the attention of farmers harvesting spiritual rice in the distance.
Zhang Hao quickly showed up: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone keep busy. It's a matter of an eastern country and has nothing to do with us."
Seeing Zhang Hao's appearance, everyone let out a sigh and continued to work.
…………
A few days passed quietly, Zhang Hao comforted Dugu Junjie during the past few days, he wanted to look forward and restart the Dugu family. On the one hand, Zhang Hao also needs to participate in the management of Dayang Group, supervise and guide the development of the Zhang family, and participate in all aspects of the country's construction.
Young Master Zhang is very distressed, he hasn't been able to sleep in for several days.
In the past few days, many things have also come. The kingdom of Yanyun in the north counterattacked several times, but they were all restrained by the kingdom of Qixia, the kingdom of Zhoushan, and the kingdom of Zhongshan, and they had already begun to retreat.
And Fu Yun from the Land of Canglan in the East came back again, this time bringing the prince from the Land of Canglan. After the prince saw Liu Xinyu, he was amazed.
To be precise, Liu Xinyu's appearance is less soft and more strong, purely in terms of appearance, she is one point worse than Zhou Xueyao. But, she is the queen! That temperament +100, charm +100, danger +100. The prince of Canglan Kingdom was amazed on the spot.
But unfortunately, it is impossible between the two. Unless Ning Chengwu, the crown prince of the Land of Canglan, is willing to give up the position of crown prince and become an 'imperial concubine'!
Ning Chengwu is going to visit Zhang's house after spending two days around Liu Xinyu.
Without even thinking about it, Zhang Hao directly refused. Ning Chengwu yelled for a long time, but Zhang Hao didn't even let Ning Chengwu step into Zhang's fiefdom and the fiefdoms of the eight towns.
Ning Chengwu wanted to go to the headquarters of Dayang Group in Ninghe County, but he failed to enter.
Back then when you asked your Canglan Kingdom to hand over Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan, you said that there was no such person, and later you played the trick of changing the name. It's like I don't know anything.
Amidst the noise, Dugu Junjie regained his confidence. Two days after the sea trial again, he found Zhang Hao and said that he would officially go to sea for a long voyage.
At this time, there are only 12 days until the state funeral of Qixia Country. Dugu Junjie wants to come back before the state funeral and bring an unprecedented glory to Qixia Kingdom.
"Bringing glory to the country is also a farewell to the past. In the future, I will rebuild the prestige of the Dugu family!" Standing in front of Zhang Hao, Dugu Junjie said forcefully.
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Do you want to rebuild the family?"
Dugu Junjie looked at Zhang Hao and asked doubtfully, "You don't agree with the family, do you?"
"What I don't agree with is the old, rigid family that hinders social progress. What I want is the kind of family that can do things seriously and be aggressive! And it is impossible to prevent the development of the family.
Now you, together with Chen Yansong, if you join Dayang Group, I think you can hold a general meeting of shareholders to discuss your shares. "
Dugu Junjie immediately rolled his eyes: "You want Uncle Chen to become a god!"
Zhang Hao smiled: "Let's talk when we come back. The boat is ready, let's set off together!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao took the lead and walked towards the battleship Zhiyuan.
