Steel Dynasty - Chapter 939
[Chapter 934 Prussian Mission]
Snowflakes were falling, and the extreme cold caused the breath from the mouth to turn into mist.
The Daur people made a primitive and ambitious voice after the leader Puji and Zhu Sansi formed a blood alliance. Although Zhu Sansi didn’t understand what it meant, he was definitely not a bad person at least.
“You yellow-skinned pigs, just wait, our soldiers will kill none of them, ah…” Vasily’s eyes were red and he was still arrogant.
But before he could finish his words, he screamed. The Chongqing soldiers used their rifle butts to tell him how to be a prisoner.
Seeing Vasily screaming under the beating of the Chongqing soldiers, Puji nodded slightly, and then he said something to Guda.
“Mr. Zhu, the Puji leader said that he is willing to lead the tribe to join the Great Chongqing Kingdom. He is also willing to be your eyes in this forest and snowy field and lead you to Yaksa.” Guda was beaming.
Zhu Sansi felt a stone fall in his heart. These Daur people have been living in this vast snowfield. With their guidance, this trip to Yaksa can avoid many detours.
“Please tell the leader of Puji that as long as you sincerely adhere to the Chongqing Kingdom, we will ensure that you will not be bullied by these Tsarist Russians again.”
Guda nodded excitedly and told Puji what Zhu Sansi said.
Showing his white teeth, Puji bent down and performed the Daur etiquette towards Zhu Sansi, which meant taming him.
“Commander, it’s good now. It seems we can continue to Yaksa.” Gao Yingfeng licked his tongue. He couldn’t wait to drive back these bandits from the west immediately.
On the way here, he learned from Guda about the atrocities committed by Tsarist Russia on the snowy plains. To deal with the small tribes in the snowy plains, the Tsarist Russians basically adopted the method of extermination. Now many small tribes have completely disappeared.
Their purpose in doing so is to completely occupy the Siberian snowfields without leaving any hidden dangers.
Guda’s narration made all the generals shiver in their hearts. They were glad that the Great Yu Kingdom had become stronger and stronger under the emperor’s rule in the past ten years, otherwise their fate would have been as miserable as the Daur people. ,
“These Tsarist Russians must be driven back to their hometown, otherwise they will become an eternal threat to the north of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. We fought bloody battles to drive away the Golden Horde, and we can no longer allow aliens to threaten the Great Yu Kingdom in the north.” Zhu San Si looked determined.
After pondering for a while, he said: “Without further delay, now that we have the help of the Daur people, we will set out for Yaksa after a night’s rest.”
“Yes, division commander.” All the generals responded in unison.
Vasily was still screaming. His heart sank when he looked at the serious-faced Chongqing soldiers, and a bad premonition spread in his heart.
Over the past hundred years, Tsarist Russia has focused its main energy on Europe. After large and small wars, the land they obtained in Europe has also had its own gains and losses. Generally speaking, the process of seizing land for them was very difficult.
It was under this circumstance that the Siberian snowfields, which were relatively easy to conquer, became the direction for the Tsarist Russian caravans to explore.
Starting from Moscow, their footsteps extended to what is now Alaska, and their caravans even traded with Japanese people on the islands in the north of Japan.
For them, Siberia is their sphere of influence just like the British overseas colonies, and massacring the natives is a matter of course in their eyes, because they regard the natives as assets, not as equals to them.
But now, they have obviously hit the iron plate, and this will be a lifelong shame, because white people lost to people of color. This will be the biggest joke in Europe where white supremacy is pervasive.
In his opinion, this humiliation will continue, because it is obvious that this army armed to the teeth is ready to continue going north to seize their Siberia.
…
Qingzhou.
Three days after the news of allowing the establishment of mercenary companies was published in the newspapers, two mercenary companies were established in Qingzhou City.
The names of these two mercenary companies were Snow Leopard and Goshawk. At the same time, news of recruiting mercenaries also spread.
What excites some people in Qingzhou is that these two mercenary companies will pay a high monthly salary of twenty gold dragons, which is more than what they earn by working in a factory.
“Your Majesty, is it appropriate to leave this mercenary company to King Yong and King Huainan respectively?”
Pang Yukun in the imperial study still had some doubts.
“Is there anything inappropriate? Now King Yong and King Huainan have cut off their own vassals. As compensation, I will also give them some errands to do. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people these two people will provoke me in Qingzhou. “Trouble, besides, one of them is my imperial uncle and the other is the biological father of the imperial concubine. This mercenary company will be much more stable in the hands of the two of them than in the hands of other businessmen,”
Xiao Ming said lightly while reviewing the memorial.
Pang Yukun shook his head slightly and said: “It is indeed the credit of King Huainan and King Yong that the vassal reduction was so smooth. Now the land of Huainan and the land of King Yong are both under the rule of the imperial court. In the past two years, the traces of the two princes have gradually been “
Erase it.”
“That’s it. They can’t afford to make any trouble now. The prerequisite for joining the mercenary company is to swear allegiance to the Great Chongqing Kingdom. They can’t control these mercenaries to become my enemy.”
Pang Yukun looked at the emperor in front of him .
, these more than ten years have made him about to enter his thirties, and at the same time, his political skills have become increasingly unclear to him.
But he clearly felt that after the incident at the Merchant Council, he began to rely heavily on relatives of the emperor, as if to maintain a certain balance.
After thinking for a while, he came to some understanding.
This incident of the Merchant Council is actually not as simple as it seems. The most fatal thing among them is not the Cao family, but the people and businessmen who were beguiled by the Cao family with just a few words.
From here, he clearly saw the fact that the people were a group of people who were extremely easy to be deceived. After all, what the Qinglong King did had proven this. Those people who followed the Qinglong King lost their lives, and this was just for the sake of A false promise.
The purpose of Xiao Ming’s move to strengthen the imperial power now is to prevent unpredictable changes one day. At that time, he will at least still have cards to play, so that the country will not be destroyed by some people with ulterior motives.
“Your Majesty, I understand.” Pang Yukun didn’t want to ask any more about this matter, but said: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty received a memorial from Dengzhou Prefecture, saying that a group of people claiming to be the Prussian mission sent their credentials and requested Meet the Emperor.”
“Prussia? This is really an interesting thing.” Xiao Ming looked excited. As far as he knew, France and Prussia had always been at odds with each other in Europe.
Moreover, they defeated Prussia in the war with Prussia seven years ago and ceded the 160,000 square kilometers of land that Prussia divided from Poland. Prussia has always held a grudge against it. This time when it came to Dayu, Prussia’s actions were thought-provoking.
