Su Dingfang's army, with the extreme speed that he himself did not expect, completely "took over" the entire Samad Jiancheng very easily. (Read.com)

It turns out that the rumors from the outside world are true. The political and military incompetence and weakness of the Kang people are as unique and distinct as their talent for business.

In fact, there were as many as 100,000 troops built in the capital of Gongwei Kangguo, and there were countless grains and grasses in the city, and the commercial capital on the Silk Road had a population of nearly 500,000, accounting for two-thirds of the total population of Kangguo.

If the Kang people fight back and resist to the death, Su Dingfang may not be able to win it in a short time. What's more, Kang Guo is the suzerainty of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. As long as Kang Guo sends a distress signal to other countries, the soldiers and horses of the other eight countries will come to the rescue. Even if these small countries do not have many soldiers and horses, their combat strength is not strong, but the ants are outnumbered, and Su Dingfang, who is alone and has few troops, is really in the air.

But the Kang people just didn't make the slightest resistance. Perhaps they were too business-minded, believing that as long as they fought a war, it would mean huge attrition and losses - so Kang Guo spent a lot of money every year to merce soldiers and horses, and kept 200,000 troops on defense for national defense. But these armies are all decorations, and Kangguo has rarely participated in a war in 20 years.

Even if they are faced with such a situation as today, they would rather surrender and resolutely not fight! The weapons and armor in the treasury are rusty and rotten like this.

So Su Dingfang, Wu Meiniang and others agreed that Kangguo, from the king's ministers to ordinary people, are all out-and-out businessmen, and they only have the concept of wealth and profit in their eyes. For them, as long as they can continue to do business, it doesn't matter if they destroy the country, and it doesn't matter if they are slaves to the country; It's the same to whoever claims to be a vassal, and if anyone bullies us, we will surrender decisively - that is, we will resolutely not fight!

Therefore, the soldiers who came with Su Dingfang were both angry and funny. Originally, I was furious and wanted to come to Xingshi to ask for the crime and kill him. As a result, he only made a stop in front of the city, and before he lost a single soldier, the enemy, who was ten times his size, had already surrendered very decisively.

"Deceive the good and fear the evil, soft bones!"

"Phew! It's just no bones! ”

"Then they started quite arrogantly, and they all dared to detain the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Aren't you scared by Beiting? Beiting stomped his feet, Kang Guo even forgot his ancestor's surname, so he could only do everything he promised! ”

……

Everyone despised Kang Guo fiercely.

Su Dingfang first took over the army and city defense, and then led the army into the city and occupied the palace. All the royal family members and princes and ministers of Kangguo were all controlled. However, Su Dingfang also issued a strict order, prohibiting the army from disturbing the people, not taking anything from the people without permission, and not arbitrarily abducting and abusing people, so as to maintain the stability of the people of Kangguo.

The Kansai Army, which was fighting for thousands of miles and was majestic, had a fierce aura on its body, which made the entire Samad city tremble. Kang Guoren didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with him at the moment. I used to follow Beiting, but now I have changed my master and Datang, anyway, it is not the same as anyone else to be a vassal country of Fan, not to mention that Datang is stronger than Beiting - as long as the business can still be done, everything else is fine. (.dukankan reading network)

Therefore, Su Dingfang did not have to worry about any riots, riots and uprisings against King Qin. From the first time he stepped into the palace, the ministers of Kang almost bowed down to him and treated him as a king.

From the death of the king to the takeover of Samajian by Su Dingfang, in just a few days, Samajian was like experiencing a summer storm, which came and went quickly.

Everything was eerily back to normal, as if nothing had happened. No one jumped out to question the cause of the death of the king and the crown prince.

"What an amazing country!" Su Dingfang was a little crying and laughing, he had never seen such a well-behaved enemy.

Wu Meiniang originally told Su Dingfang in detail the details of what had happened these days, emphasizing the "Great Food Invasion".

Su Dingfang naturally knew the priority of this matter. In contrast, the strange and powerful army of Great Food is far more difficult than the ten Kang Kingdoms. Its hidden dangers and imminent threats are even far beyond the North Garden.

At this point, Balerihan can only fully confess. He explained in great detail how he contacted Nurman, the crown prince Chaharmon, and conspiracy to seize the throne.

Everything seemed to be what Wu Meiniang had seen with her own eyes, and it was exactly what she expected. Balerihan was amazed, and decided that Wu Meiniang was "not a mortal".

Wu Meiniang and Su Dingfang discussed privately, and they both agreed that the first task at the moment was to re-elect a king for Kangguo. First of all, we must be at ease, and then we can carry out a series of measures to resist the enemy and resist the outside.

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. Kang was the first country conquered by the Tang Dynasty in this expedition to the Western Regions. There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and Kang is the suzerainty of Zhaowu Jiu. Therefore, Datang could not completely "annihilate" Kangguo at this time and make the dove occupy the magpie's nest. Otherwise, other countries will definitely resist strongly, which will add great difficulty to Datang's future conquest of the entire Western Regions.

On the contrary, if the Kang State is treated well, just let it submit to the Tang Dynasty as a vassal state, so as to retain their royal power and clans and treat its people well, you can set a good example and precedent in the Western Regions. Not to mention anything else, the other eight countries with the surname Zhaowu are likely to be spread and get twice the result with half the effort.

Su Dingfang unconsciously regarded Wu Meiniang as an equivalent minister or general to discuss these matters with her. As a result, Wu Meiniang's insight and wisdom seemed to be better than him, which made Su Dingfang amazed and called him "a heroine among women".

However, King Hayamano died suddenly and did not leave any will on his deathbed. Moreover, this devout Manichaean who was exaggerated was abstinent and silent all his life, and did not give birth to a son and a daughter. The crown prince Chaharmon was still elected from his clan, and he was not his own nephew.

If you want to choose a crown prince from the clan of the Kang royal family to inherit the throne, it seems that there is a suspicion of erecting a puppet king, and the subjects of Kang will not believe him, and it will also lay the hidden danger of a palace coup d'état for the throne in the future.

Wu Meiniang and Su Dingfang thought to no avail, and decided to let Kang Guoren make his own ideas. So, they called the three ministers of Kang and the royal family to discuss the choice of the king.

At this time, Wu Meiniang secretly had an idea in her heart. She summoned the viper Balerihan and instructed him to recommend a special "king" at the meeting. In such a situation, even if he didn't eat the so-called "poison", Balerihan, who was bent on survival, had no choice but to do what Wu Meiniang had planned.

As a result, Balerikhan unexpectedly recommended Princess Crescent, the widow of the old king Hayamano, to be the new King of Kangguo at the meeting. He also had good reasons for the fact that the first previous king had no heirs, and that it would be difficult to convince the people to choose any member of the clan as the new king, and would cause strife among themselves; Second, as one of the nine surnamed countries of Zhaowu, that is, a descendant of the Dayue clan, it is not a new thing to establish a woman as king, which has a precedent to follow. In the past few hundred years, the undissolved Otsuki Clan has had two or three queens or women ruling successively; Even now, one of the nine kingdoms, Anguo, is also ruled by the queen (also the king's widow).

As soon as Balerihan said this, the other ministers and members of the royal family understood in their hearts that Balerihan, a cunning old fox, was asking for favor from the new master in order to survive.

Although there are many people here who covet the throne. However, even the ambitious minister Balerihan, who killed the emperor and killed the prince, succumbed to the traitor, and all of them were people with amazing business acumen, and they resolutely refused to do anything that was not beneficial—who would stand up against it?

Wu Meiniang's clever plan succeeded - Princess Crescent Moon became the new king of Kangju Country "as expected". On a good day, a grand coronation ceremony will take place, and the Princess of the Crescent will be renamed the "Queen of the Crescent".

The Crescent Moon Princess is just a weak woman, and although she is not smart, she is not born to be the material of a queen. When she learned that she had been elected queen, she was terrified and did not want to be king. Wu Meiniang persuaded her, don't be afraid, in the future, Kangju Country will be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty; As long as Datang is in one day, no one will bully you again.

"But Datang is thousands of miles away, how can he take care of me everywhere and all the time? Now there is still General Su's army here; If he's gone, I'm sure I'll be ousted right away! Princess Xinyue was full of sorrow, perhaps because she was in a hurry, she grabbed Wu Meiniang and said, "Meiniang, you are so smart and capable, and you are the daughter-in-law of the true god and the wife of Qin Shaoshuai, this time you came forward to mediate and saved Samajian from a military disaster, and the whole city is now grateful to you." Now in Kangguo, your prestige is higher than that of the three ministers - it's better for you to stay and be the minister of life! With your help, I dare to be this king! ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head with a smile, "No." I am a businessman, and I am already a wife and a mother, how can I stay in Kangguo all the year round? ”

"If you don't stay, I'd rather die than be the king - Allah is proof, what Murong Mingzhu just said is an oath!" Princess Crescent swears.

"It turns out that Her Majesty's name is called Mingzhu." Wu Meiniang smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll ...... Stay for the time being and help you take care of some state affairs. In the future, if there is a better candidate for auxiliary ministers, I will return to the Central Plains. ”

"Alright then, that's it for now!" Murong Mingzhu seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, holding Wu Meiniang's hand tightly and refusing to let go, still nervously said, "Although I am a princess, I believe in Allah's teachings, and I rarely appear in public, let alone participate in any national affairs. Now I'm suddenly made king, and I'm really scared! - Mei Niang, I rely on you completely! ”

"Don't worry, Wechen will do his best to assist Her Majesty!" Wu Meiniang's words were round, and she arched her hands seriously, and said with a straight face.

Murong Mingzhu was immediately amused, "Mei Niang, you are more like a queen than anyone else!" Otherwise, I'll give you the throne! ”

Wu Meiniang's face changed slightly, and her heart suddenly jumped up, and she hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" I'm an outsider, how can I be the king of Kangguo? - Your Majesty, it's okay for the two of us to talk about this kind of joke casually, but don't say it to outsiders! ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it!" Murong Mingzhu smiled and said, "Actually, the throne of the Zhaowu Nine Surname Country is not like the throne of the Central Plains Emperor family. Our throne is not strictly passed from father to son, nephew, clanman, daughter, wife, and even minister. Mei Niang, you are so capable, you will definitely be able to govern this country well and make Kangguo richer and stronger. Although you have just come to Kangguo, and you are not a member of the clan surnamed Zhaowu Jiu, I believe that as long as you show enough convincing abilities and merits, everyone will be happy to accept you as a queen! ”

Wu Meiniang's heart beat faster.

Taking a deep breath, she took Murong Mingzhu's hand and smiled, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss these things. You haven't been crowned king yet, and you want to abdicate and concede, which is very detrimental to the stability of Kangguo! ”

"Okay, then we'll talk about it later." Murong Mingzhu said with a smile, "Mei Niang, you and I have suffered together at first sight, plus my sister and you have a deep relationship, and the Qin family is also the benefactor of my Murong family." It's better to follow the customs of the Central Plains - we worship as sisters! ”

"Okay!" Wu Meiniang agreed on the spot, and said with a smile, "Being able to meet the demon's sister thousands of miles away is really a strange fate." If I'm not mistaken, You'er is three months younger than me. You're her twin sister, so I'm three months older than you! ”

"Hee-hee, then I'll call you ...... Sister Wang! You're a member of Kang's royal family! Murong Mingzhu smiled very happily.

Wu Meiniang was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Heh, why do I have a feeling that I have been tricked?" ”

"How can you be so smart, I am sincerely married to you!" Murong Mingzhu said with a smile, "However, I do want to facilitate the Zen position for you in the future." In short, what to do in the future is up to you, how about it? - I am the Queen, you are the Queen's sister, and you are also the Minister of Kang Guo! ”

"Okay......" Wu Meiniang shook her head helplessly and smiled, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Mingzhu." Since the demon entered my wine shop, he has never said his first name, and has never used the nickname 'demon child'. When my father-in-law accepted her as a righteous daughter, he once gave her the name - Qin Xue'er. You said that your ancestors had a compound surname of Murong, and later your parents moved to Kang and changed their surname to Kang - so what was the original name of the demon? ”

"I just listened to what Yuan Tiangang said......" Referring to his parents and demons, Murong Mingzhu's expression dimmed a little, and he said softly, "My parents were very affectionate back then. When my mother was pregnant with us, my father happened to be doing business abroad, and he carried my mother's portrait with him, which he had to take out every day. When he came home, my mother had just given birth to us, and he had brought with him many pearls of the night from the South China Sea. So my father named me 'Mingzhu', and my mother named my sister 'Yiyan' in honor of my father's deep love for her. ”

"Remembering faces, remembering faces...... People are as their name suggests! Wu Meiniang sighed.
