Volume IV 1860 The Rise of the Celestial Dynasty Chapter 96 The Coming of All Kingdoms

Next chapter

Even with such a large amount of land cut out, would Alexander II still care about the fate of a few girls? He nodded weakly, "Let's do it according to the will of the Celestial Empire Envoy!" However, I hope that we can form an alliance with the Great Celestial Empire and sign a mutual defense agreement, and I believe that on the basis of this agreement, the two countries will be able to develop amicably for a long time! ”

Alexander II is not stupid, this time he was beaten by the Celestial Empire, what if the Celestial Empire repents in a few days and comes to send troops to recruit again? So allies are a must!

Secondly, even if the Celestial Empire and Russia temporarily stopped the war, but the West still has Turkey, Ottomans and many other countries bordering it, and now Russia's military strength has been greatly weakened, and no one dares to guarantee that European countries will not have bad intentions towards weak Russia, so he needs the Celestial Empire to provide strong protection for himself, as for seizing territory and revitalizing Russia, it is all a matter of the future, according to the current strength of the Celestial Empire, Russia will not be able to compete with it in the next fifty years.

The envoy of the Celestial Empire smiled, didn't even think about it, nodded and promised: "This is natural, since the two countries are ready to become in-laws, how can there be a reason why the in-laws are beaten and the family does not help?" As long as Russia is loyal to the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire will definitely guarantee Russia's security! ”

Now Russia is a piece of fat on the lips of the Celestial Empire, and of course it is impossible for other countries to get involved, so whether it is an alliance or a mutual defense agreement, it will do this whether the Celestial Empire is signed or not, so this is just a favor.

After receiving the promise of the envoy of the Celestial Empire, Alexander II's frown was slightly soothed, and the details of the agreement were discussed for a long time, and after that, a banquet was held to entertain the envoy, and before leaving, in order to show the sincerity of his alliance, the Amber Palace was given as a gift to the envoy of the Celestial Empire to the true god on his behalf.

The Amber Palace is an extremely luxurious building decorated entirely of amber and gold, known as the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Originally owned by the Kingdom of Prussia, King Frederick William I gave it as a gift to Russia in order to obtain Russian military assistance against Sweden and was placed in Catherine Palace on the outskirts of St. Petersburg until 1941, when the Germans arrived in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and dismantled it and shipped it back to Germany for display.

However, in 1945, when the Soviet Union counterattacked Germany, this treasure was not found, and some historians analyzed that the Amber Palace was likely destroyed by bombing in World War II, while others believe that it was smuggled onto ships by the Nazis, encountered wind and waves during the secret transfer, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

In short, this rare treasure worth more than billions of pounds has completely disappeared in the history of the main world, but time has changed, and it has fallen into the hands of Zhang Yuntian, and this time it will definitely not let it happen again.

He ordered someone to move the Amber Palace into the back garden of the Forbidden City, since Zhang Yuntian was called a god in this plane, he naturally did not hide his magical ability, he reached out and lightly touched this golden small palace, and the entire building disappeared out of thin air!

The craftsmen present were stunned one by one, they had only heard that the true god had unparalleled power in the world, and he had the immortal art of grace and grace, but now he saw it with his own eyes, and he was even more convinced of Zhang Yuntian's identity as a god of heaven, and knelt down to worship one by one, shouting Long live the true god.

This incident spread throughout the capital in an instant, and then the north and south of the river, becoming a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, and some people said that they were colorful, as if they saw it on the side, and the whole country once again set off a wave of worship of the true god.

Even some high-level intellectuals who don't believe in ghosts and gods, even if they don't believe in this kind of overly fantasy story, but just by virtue of the huge changes that Zhang Yuntian brought to the Celestial Empire during the year of his ascension, it is enough to shake their values, perhaps, there are indeed gods in this world, otherwise how could the army of the True God Cult not only unify the divided world in just over a year, but also fight the powerful Russian Empire, which is not inferior to its own in terms of land area and military strength, and bow down to the vassals, If it weren't for God's help, who would have been able to achieve such great feats since ancient times?

The news of Russia's defeat spread as soon as the news spread, and the Western powers immediately changed from their original contempt and suspicion towards the Celestial Empire to vigilance and worry!

Most of the countries of East Asia are now colonies and semi-colonies of the Western powers, providing them with abundant raw materials and living supplies, but in the center of these colonies, a huge empire has suddenly emerged, which has forced them to worry about their long-term economic interests.

At the same time, they were also wary of the Celestial Empire's powerful military power, if the Celestial Empire could defeat the powerful Russian Empire in only five months, then he had the strength to sweep any country in Europe, and the barrier between the Celestial Empire and the great powers was only a few small countries, which made them have to fear the Celestial Empire.

What's more, at the beginning, he was able to take the troops to other people's territory to sprinkle and play tricks, although the dynasty at that time was Qing, but the people were still those people, and the cities were still those cities, it was difficult to guarantee whether such a vengeful anger would burn over, in order to find out the intentions and views of the true God of the Celestial Empire on the world pattern, European countries sent envoys to the Forbidden City, and once again met the true God in the court.

This time, they all learned to be obedient, but all the messengers who came over had worked hard to learn Chinese, for fear that they would offend the true god because of the language problem, the current Celestial Empire is no longer the fat meat that was slaughtered by others before, it is a male lion, a male lion who will pounce on people at any time, and it is too late for flattery from all countries, who dares to offend openly?

Due to the fact that there were too many envoys from various countries to meet him, in desperation, the Ministry of Rites, under the instruction of Zhang Yuntian, had to have a large banquet in the Qianqing Palace and presented all kinds of food and wine to entertain the envoys.

In addition to the old powers such as Britain, France, Spain, Prussia, Russia, and the United States, there were also important ministers and envoys from Korea, Japan, and other neighboring countries.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan had collapsed, the famous Meiji Restoration was already in full swing, and the Meiji Emperor succeeded to the throne, and this ambitious country was secretly brewing a storm to sweep through Asia.

Before the banquet, the envoys of each country knelt down on their knees outside the Qianqing Palace, bowed three times and bowed to the direction of the true god Zhang Yuntian, got up and handed over the list of gifts, and then sat down under the guidance of the palace maids.

After they took the seats, they all sat upright, their expressions were solemn and dignified, and their eyes did not squint, except that their appearance was far from that of the people of the Celestial Empire, they looked so logical, and there was no sense of disobedience at all!

Zhang Yuntian slowly raised his wine glass and said loudly: "May our countries form friendly neighbors, don't take the army lightly, and may the world always enjoy peace!" After speaking, he gently dipped the wine glass to his lips and put it on the table with a shallow taste.

The envoys of various countries said in their hearts: What you said is to our hearts, raising troops to conquer? Looking at the whole world, it is better to provoke anyone than to provoke you, as long as you don't send troops to fight us, Amen, Hallelujah, Amitabha!

Therefore, one by one, they raised their glasses happily, sang the praises of the true god in their strange Chinese, and then respectfully drank the wine in the cup.

Human beings are so strange, when the Qing Dynasty fell, the invaders of various countries only had valuable gold and silver treasures in their eyes, and rarely paid attention to any cultural value, such as today's dynasty is strong, all countries have noticed that the original Celestial Empire has so many unique and delicious foods, so many kinds of mellow wines, and even palace buildings, clothing and speech have a deep cultural heritage, one by one can't help but be fascinated, from the beginning of the sycophancy, gradually turned to sincere admiration and praise!

The atmosphere at the banquet was very warm, and the envoys from various countries drank until they were drunk and happy, and then they went back to the post house to rest.

However, even the rooms of the post house are very different from country to country, because Korea, Ryukyu, Vietnam, Burma and Sulu are all vassal states of the Celestial Empire, so they are assigned to the first-class room, Russia is an ally of the Celestial Empire, and it is an in-law, so the treatment is naturally higher, and they are assigned to the special room, and the rest of the countries, including Japan, are arranged to the second-class room.

In fact, there was also a dispute over the division of rooms, and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites agreed that all countries came to worship the Celestial Empire, and their sincerity was very great, and they should not be treated differently, but should be treated in the same way, so as to show that the great powers of the Celestial Empire are broad-minded and do not care about previous suspicions.

But this mention was ruthlessly rejected by Zhang Yuntian, and he was treated equally? Are you kidding? When the Qing Dynasty fell, did the great powers treat everyone equally? If the dynasty is strong today, it is to sue the world, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, if everyone is behaving well, let you live a little more chic, if anyone is not satisfied, then fight until you obey!

People will not be in awe of you because you are broad-minded, on the contrary, they are in awe of the powerful military and political power behind you, without this important bargaining chip, all leniency is stupid, and all ignorance of previous suspicions will be considered cowardly!

What Zhang Yuntian wants to show to the world is a powerful central country! Whoever is good to me and who is bad to me, I will remember, I will not treat everyone equally, unless you can show enough sincerity and respect, or great value, otherwise in the eyes of the Celestial Empire, no country is worth mentioning!

This kind of arrangement is also well known to the envoys of various countries, especially those countries that have invaded the Qing Dynasty, one by one are walking on thin ice, how can they still have the leisure to plan these, you must know that the emperor of the country sent himself to be goodwill, the lessons of Russia last time are still vivid, who dares to repeat the mistakes of the past? Some eat, some live, just steal the fun!

On the second day, Zhang Yuntian met with the envoys of various countries one by one in the Yangxin Hall and signed a series of agreements.

Britain, France, the United States and other countries, canceled the one-qiē privileges and leased lands in the Celestial Empire, and at the same time promised to give the Celestial Empire the most favored nation treatment, allowing mutual merchants, and the Celestial Empire people could settle in various countries at will, following local laws, but people from all countries must go through approval to settle in the Celestial Empire.

Britain occupied India and Burma, France occupied Vietnam, these countries are close neighbors of the Celestial Empire, in order to prevent misfire, Britain ceded northern India to the Celestial Empire, withdrew troops from Burma, and recognized the Celestial Empire's ownership of Burma, while France only retained the right to do business in Vietnam and the lease of some ports, allowed the Celestial Empire troops to settle in, and recognized the suzerainty.

The Korean country has not fought for a long time, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is extremely low, they have always relied on the military strength of the Celestial Empire. They knew that the true god Zhang Yuntian was just a young man in his twenties, and it was when he was full of energy, so he specially offered fifteen beauties and married the fourteen-year-old princess whom the king loved the most.

For other vassal states, Zhang Yuntian sent troops to station, and selected strong people from the local area, formed a guard, injected corpse guard serum, and coordinated the military control of the country.

After just a few days of negotiations between all nations and the DPRK, the territory of the Celestial Empire has virtually expanded by 50 percent, and it does not cost a single soldier.

The territory of the Yuan Dynasty in its heyday in the past may not be comparable to that of the Celestial Empire today.

It is said that during the Yuan Dynasty, it took a year for fast horses to run from the national capital to the border, which means that the order issued today will not arrive next year, and such communication efficiency will certainly not be able to maintain long-term stability.

But now it is different, with telephone, railway, steam locomotive, steam engine ship and other efficient and convenient means of communication and transportation, greatly strengthened Zhang Yuntian's control over the territory of various places, any place riot, the army through the guò railway, can arrive in five days at the latest, to ensure the normal operation of the entire national machine.

What's more, the medical water and high-yield food of the True God Sect have all solved the livelihood problems of the people, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and they are grateful to the True God Sect.

Therefore, three years after the establishment of the Celestial Empire, under the rise and promotion of modern steel mills, power plants, and oil refineries, the productive forces have been greatly developed.

In terms of military affairs, the Celestial Empire continued to expand eastward, and included the oil-rich regions of Arabia in the Middle East into the territory, and due to the active steelmaking technology ahead of time, tanks, heavy artillery, warships and airplanes were successively successfully produced, and entered the daily equipment of the army, and the permanent troops jumped from 300,000 at the time of the founding of the country to 3.5 million now, and 700,000 in various places, with a total of 4.2 million troops.

It is only now that Russia understands why the Celestial Empire is vying to take the barren land of Siberia, which turns out that under this land, there are huge oil resources, as well as all kinds of rich natural gas, oil, gold, diamonds, timber, furs and other important materials, and jade, jade and other gems produced in Myanmar and Vietnam have made the Celestial Empire truly move towards the top of the world.
