Chapter 462: The Vortex of Qingchuan Bay
Jiang Feng saw the good intentions of Arena XVII.
In the past ten hours, Sophie has maintained a high level of excitement, and even talked with Jiang Feng at night.
Therefore, Jiang Feng learned a lot about this world, including many systems about the White Persian Empire.
The hierarchy, White Persia is absolute.
There are military ranks, nobles have titles of nobility, in addition to court titles, and so on.
However, the most difficult to obtain is a position in the army, and the other is a noble title.
The highest aristocratic title in the White Persian Empire was, of course, Emperor, followed by Prince, Grand Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, Baron, Lord and Sir Sir .
Jazz is the lowest, and like real-world England, it's just "the like" of a knighthood, more of a symbol of honor.
Sharif's father, Sharif Sr., was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his highest military rank was the deputy commander of the First Legion.
The First Legion is the most elite army of White Persia, with a large number, high quality, and the strongest combat ability, and it is very difficult to command this army, because White Persia is a country with centralized monarchy, and the emperor is generally the commander of the First Legion.
Sharif's father was able to become a deputy commander, which is already very rare.
Moreover, Sharif's father voluntarily asked to be discharged from the army, and he was only 62 years old at the time.
White Persia does not have much age to retire, and because the water and soil are very nurturing, 62 years old is not too old here, and it still belongs to the category of old age and strength.
However, because of the early surrender of military power, Arena XVII admired the elder Sharif very much, and after he was discharged from the army, he conferred on him the title of Grand Duke of the South.
The White Persian Empire currently has no prince, and the Grand Duke of the South is already a very high honor.
Moreover, in the White Persian Empire, it was very difficult to obtain the title of nobility, not all the children of the nobility had a high title of nobility, it was already good for them to be able to become a baron before the age of 40, and most of them were basically lords, and even this title would last a lifetime.
Sharif is only 29 years old this year, and he was made an earl, which is already a very high honor.
At this time, Arena XVII patted Sharif on the shoulder fiercely and said, "The future of the empire belongs to you, work hard, Sharif!"
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty! I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my father!" Sharif was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and as for not being able to serve by the princess's side, there was no way to do it, there was something to be gained and lost.
At this time, Sharif also relieved Jiang Feng's previous suspicions...... He knew that Jiang Feng would not be able to reach his own realm after struggling all his life.
……
Sharif went to take office, Arina XVII looked at Jiang Feng, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he couldn't help but take Jiang Feng's hand, and said: "Young man, come with me for a drink!
Teng Wenjing suddenly raised his voice and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Feng's group of 200 people followed Arena XVII to the palace.
The decoration of the palace is simple but not simple, giving people a very simple and elegant feeling.
Arena XVII held a banquet to entertain Jiang Feng and others.
Jiang Feng also talked a lot with Arena about his military ideas during the banquet.
Of course, this is still in the absence of outsiders.
Arena XVII had been looking at Jiang Feng with an appreciative gaze.
The banquet was dispersed, and Arena XVII called Jiang Feng to his bedroom alone.
As he continued to drink wine, Arena XVII said, "Your mind is not on White Persia, is it not on you, young stranger?"
"Your Majesty, I am from another world. Jiang Feng said calmly, "My world is called ...... Earth, of course, I know that you are also called Earth here, but it is a place that exists in different dimensions of space. ”
"Tell me, kid, do you want the country of Persia on earth?" asked Arena.
"Yes, now it's called Yiguo, and it's a ...... Very good country, although it is not a big empire, but it has a lot of natural resources, and the life of the common people is very good. Jiang Feng said.
"Then there is still the Han Dynasty?" Arena XVII asked with a smile, "I remember that our ancestors dreamed of trading with the Han Dynasty at that time, and the Silk Road was opened at that time, and then, what happened?"
"The Han Dynasty has been extinct for more than 2,000 years and is now the Kingdom of Huaxia. Jiang Feng said calmly, "Huaxia is a vast country, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the standard of living is improving day by day, and the population has reached 1.4 billion ......."
"So many people, 1.4 billion, children, are you sure your words are true?" exclaimed Arena XVII, "and the number of troops must not exceed 10 million?"
Jiang Feng shook his head: "There are only more than 2 million troops in the army, but they are all elite soldiers...... The reason why we have a large population is because our civilization is almost 300 years ahead of this world. ”
Hearing this, Arena XVII was dumbfounded: "No one has ever told me this. ”
"Because they don't have access to the central regime. Jiang Feng hit the nail on the head and said, "As soon as they came to White Poss, they were thrown into prison, I know, this move is good, but the situation in the prison is different, some people just entered, and they were killed by some evil prisoners......"
"I've heard of these things. "Actually, I don't want to do that, but I'm afraid Sophie didn't tell you that my father, Arena XVI, died at the hands of the stranger, so since then, we don't have any good feelings for the stranger." ”
"Let me ask, did that stranger say which country he is from?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It is said that it is from the United States. "Arena XVII said.
Jiang Feng smiled but said nothing......
"You have made me change my mind about strangers, my child. "When I saw you in the arena that day, I felt that you were different, that you were alone in front of the front, just to protect your comrades from harm, and your fearless spirit is very valuable. ”
Jiang Feng said: "I have a high enough kung fu, why should I sacrifice my friends?"
"Well, you're right. Arena XVII asked, "I am also very happy when you talk to me about you today...... By the way, my child, with your knowledge, you should be able to see why I am reluctant to give more power to the nobles, right?"
"Old man, if you change me, I will do the same. Jiang Feng said, "Who wants to let the power go by? You say yes? I also know why Sophie offered me to be the chief of the guard, and you agreed so easily." ”
"Why?"
"Because you don't see ambition in my gaze. And...... I'm not a royal family, just a foreigner, I can't pose any threat to your imperial power, because I don't have any big clan behind me to protect me, I'm in this world, I have no background. ”
"Clever! brilliantly!" said Arena XVII, smiling, "child...... Say what you want! If I can do it, I will definitely agree to you!"
"Old man, I want to go home, return to Huaxia, and return to my sweetheart. Jiang Feng said word by word.
"You already have a sweetheart?" Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Arina's heart was very complicated.
Arena XVII knew that his daughter liked warriors like Jiang Feng, but in the White Persian Empire, the bloodline theory was also noble, and Jiang Feng was an outsider with a relatively low bloodline.
However, Arena XVII also has one of the greatest regrets at present...... He has no sons...... And he is old, and he may not have a son in this life.
So, White Persia ...... There is a good chance that it will enter the age of the empress.
This has not happened in the past.
If her daughter Sophie becomes the empress, then the empress's heir will inherit the throne and become the next emperor of White Persia.
It stands to reason that the empress's husband needs to be selected from the royal family with the purest blood, but the current situation is that not to mention that Sophie looks down on those royal children, even Arena XVII feels that no one can be worthy of Sophie.
This is also the reason why Sophie has been in the boudoir for many years.
Arena XVII liked Jiang Feng very much, and felt that Jiang Feng was a chic person, extremely high in kung fu, and a very intelligent and frank person.
"My sweetheart is a very good girl. Jiang Feng said, "I love her on a blind date, and it has reached the level of talking about marriage...... I'm not a good man who is single-minded, but I can't let go of her, I just want to seek a way to return to my world, if you know, I hope you will not hesitate to teach, as for the request you want to make, I will definitely try to meet you. ”
Hearing Jiang Feng's earnest words, Arina XVII couldn't help but smile and said, "My demands and your demands have never been so unified. ”
Jiang Feng was slightly stunned.
Arena XVII said calmly: "The method of returning to your world, in fact, we know, but over the years, there are very few strangers who can go back, only in the territory of the Tuman Empire, and the strangers who have been treated favorably by the Tuman Empire, have the ability to go back, because in their country, there is a seaport called Qingchuan Bay, near that harbor, there is a strange whirlpool, as long as the person who enters the whirlpool, never returns. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng was immediately overjoyed.
"However, Qingchuan Bay is heavily guarded by enemies all year round, and it is a forbidden place of the Tuman Empire, and your ship is indeed very good, but if you want to drive straight into Qingchuan Bay, I am afraid it will be very difficult, unless there is a large army that can cover you. ”
Arena XVII said: "Child, I have never lied in my life, what I said is true, you can also find someone to verify this matter, whether that vortex can make you return to your world, I don't know, but this should be the only way." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng knew very well that he might not be able to go back for a while...... Now, the only way is to help Arena XVII destroy the Tuman Empire as soon as possible.
But Jiang Feng ...... He was not in a good mood, he did not like war, because war would only make the people more miserable.
