Chapter 921: Banditry
Counting the lord and guards, there are only about 300 people in the Wu Greedy Country, and the former lord actually has thirty concubines.
Tang Ning thought that Emperor Chen was the most person he had ever seen, but in front of the former lord of the Wu Greedy Country, he could only stand aside.
Tang Ning naturally didn't want to have so many concubines, even if he wanted Tang Yaoyao to agree, Tang Yaoyao didn't agree with his body.
Downing waved his hand and said, "When I didn't say ......"
Tang Ning later learned from Sadiq that only a small half of the thirty concubines were women from the country of Wu Greed.
The other half or more were either princesses from the remaining small countries around him, or he used his status as the lord of the Wu Greedy Country to rob passing caravans.
In the past two years, the Western Regions have become more and more chaotic, and after the country changed hands, it also began to develop into a country of horse thieves.
Tangning ordered Sadiq to disperse the former lord's harem group, and they could decide for themselves whether to stay in the country or return to their original place.
In the dilapidated palace, Tang Ning sat in the office of the lord on weekdays, and in front of him, in addition to the seal of the lord, there was also a booklet, on which was the flower directory of the people of the country.
As the lord of the Wu Greedy Country, he currently has 345 people under his command, including 80 "Son of Heaven Guards", and the power in his hands is not as good as that of a village chief in the Chen State.
Of course, the lord of the country has the power of life and death for the people, and the guards are also responsible for the lord of the country, if the village chief of Chen Guo does the same, Emperor Chen will cut off his head and hang it on the head of the village.
However, although 300 people is a little less, it may not be impossible to achieve a big thing.
Back then, the lord of Xiaowan used 1,000 people to develop Xiaowan into a superpower with a population of hundreds of thousands in the Western Regions today, and he could do the same with 300 people.
Of course, this grand blueprint cannot be relied on by the people of the country to have children.
Xiao Wan initially took the path of making a fortune through commerce, and it took them a few years to complete the primitive capital accumulation, and then they began to expand the population.
They subdued the nearby horse thief forces, abandoned the prejudice of the nation, and invited some scholars from Chen Guo to help govern the country with extremely generous treatment.
The most important thing in Chen Guo is to read, and among these people, there is not one in a hundred who can be admitted to the Jinshi, and some people gradually lose their confidence and dreams, and take the olive branch thrown by Xiao Wan......
After completing the capital accumulation and population expansion, Xiao Wan began to attack the surrounding countries, expanding the population and territory more intensely, and spent more than 20 years to develop the country into what it is today, which can be regarded as a legend.
Tang Ning didn't have the heart to claim hegemony in the Western Regions, nor did he have the idea of creating a second Xiao Wan, for him, how to use the identity of the lord of the Wu greedy country to get the opportunity to talk to Xiao Wan and rescue Niang and Tang Shui is the top priority.
However, this small goal has now encountered unprecedented obstacles.
The war between Xiaowan Dayue and Wusun invested at least 300,000 troops, and there were no 400 people under his command, just the aftermath of the big war was enough to make them die dozens or hundreds of times.
While he was distressed by this question, Sadiq knocked on the door, walked in, and said, "Lord, Awahan asks to see you." β
Avahan is the old man of the Shan Huan Kingdom, he is the oldest elder of the Shan Huan Kingdom, and now he is also the representative of the remnants of the Shan Huan people.
Tang Ning said, "Let him in." β
The old man walked in, respectfully placed the seal of the lord of the country on the table in front of Tang Ning, and then fell to his knees, muttering something.
Although Tang Ning couldn't understand his words, it was not difficult to understand what he meant.
Being the lord of one country is also dang, and being the lord of two countries is also dang, since they insist, Tang Ning will no longer shirk it.
After receiving this seal, he is the lord of the two countries in the Western Regions, and he has more than 400 people under his .......
Tang Ning accepted the seal, looked at Sadiq, and said, "Is there still a place to place them in the country?" β
Sadiq thought for a moment and nodded: "There are still some empty houses in the country, and there are not many of them, so it is enough to accommodate them." β
"Then you can help them settle down first." Tang Ning said: "Let them live here for the time being, and wait until they find a suitable place later." β
Tang Ning is also unwilling to easily erase the existence of a country, although Shan Huan is small, but they also have their unique culture, if Shan Huan is integrated into Wu Greed, maybe after a few years, no one will remember the name Shan Huan.
"Yes!"
Sadiq arched his hand and walked out with the old man with an excited expression on his face.
β¦β¦
The people of Wu Greedy were shocked today, first when they learned that the Shan Huan Kingdom adjacent to them was almost destroyed by horse thieves, and then the Wu Greedy Kingdom changed hands.
The last time there was a rebellion in the country was half a year ago, when the former lord of the country bought off the guards in the country, led the rebel army to storm the palace, and murdered the lord of the country, and then sat in the position of the lord of the country.
And today, I heard that it was the lord of the country who fell in love with the wife of the merchants of the Chen Kingdom and wanted to forcibly occupy them, but I didn't expect these merchants of the Chen Kingdom to be so powerful that they directly pulled him down from the position of the lord of the country.
Although the people were shocked by this, they did not panic much in their hearts, but were still a little happy.
Compared with the previous lord of the country, the previous lord of the country was tyrannical and extravagant, which made the entire country of black greed into a miasma, and someone replaced him as the head of the country, which is a good thing for the people.
What's more, it was a merchant of the Chen Kingdom who became the lord of the country, how could a person from the Heavenly Empire look at a mere Wu Greedy Country, and when they left, the Wu Greedy Country would still be their Wu Greedy Country.
Moreover, judging from his attitude towards Shan Heng and the mouths of Shan Heng's remnants, the new lord of the country is a kind-hearted person, so today's coup d'Γ©tat is a good thing.
The country of the country of Wu is too small, and in less than a quarter of an hour, what happened in the palace can spread throughout the country, and after inquiring about each other, they get the news, and the people's mood has also calmed down.
This is the advantage of the small country, if the Chen State changes the emperor, just to announce it to the world, and spread the matter to all the state capitals and counties, it will take at least a month, but in the country of Wu Greed, only the guards need to shout a voice.
After a short period of suspicion, Wu was greedy and quickly settled down again.
At this moment, in the distant desert, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared, and a light horse came to the city, and said loudly: "I want to see the lord of the country, I have something important to report!" β
β¦β¦
Tang Ning had just finished dealing with Shan Huan's affairs, and after only half a cup of tea, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Sadiq walked in from outside with a man, and said with a heavy face: "Lord of the country, something is wrong! β
Tang Ning put down the teacup and said, "If something happens, you can talk slowly." β
Sadiq looked nervous and said, "The horse thieves nearby have united and plan to besiege our country ......."
Tang Ning glanced at him and asked, "How did you hear about this?" β
Sadiq pointed to the man and said, "Sage is an undercover agent we have planted in a group of horse thieves, and he came back from this adventure to tell us the news. β
The country of Wu Greedy has been able to live in peace in the Western Regions for so many years, firstly, because there is an alliance between the countries of the Western Regions, and the horse thieves dare not touch them, and secondly, because although they are not many in number, the practice of martial arts prevails in the country, don't look at them There are only about 300 people in the country, but men and women can go to the battlefield, and there is no horse thief force of more than 1,000 people, so they dare not rob the country of Wu Greedy.
Now that the Western Regions are completely in chaos, each country can't take care of itself, and the horse thieves on the desert have become bolder, so there is the destruction of Shan Hengguo, I can't imagine that they will be eyeing Wu Greedy so soon.
Downing looked at Sadiq and asked, "How many people did they gather?" β
Sadiq said nervously: "There are at least 1,500 people, and we can't withstand the attacks of so many horse thieves......"
