Chapter 288: The Attitude of the Kingdoms
In May of the sixth year of Taiding, various countries received the credentials of Cangguo one after another.
Although it is not said that it is an alliance to attack Jin, but all countries can more or less guess it.
In the beginning, some countries scoffed.
However, after Ruan, Chu, Wu, Wei, Yun and other countries successively expressed their willingness to participate in the alliance, the attitude of these countries finally changed.
The alliance between Ruan and Chu makes sense, after all, it has now become a competitor of the Jin State, and in times of peace, it would be good to wish that there would be more alliances against the Jin State.
Wei and Jin have a deep hatred and hatred, and they can be regarded as hardcore supporters.
However, Wu Guo and Yun Guo also said that they would participate in the alliance, which can explain a lot of problems.
For example, the Yun State, a newly rising country, is only emerging among the countries, although several countries have been destroyed one after another, but with the help of part of the power of the Chu State, such a country, to make such a high-profile behavior, it is obviously a little out of place.
However, the kings of all countries still looked down on it, thinking that the emperor of the Yun Kingdom must have a deep meaning.
Not to mention the state of Wu, two months ago, it was still an ally with the state of Chu, conspiring to attack Chu, and a million troops were mobilized to the border of the state of Chu, just waiting for an attack from inside and outside, not seeking to destroy the state of Chu, at least it can be dealt a heavy blow.
However, the result of the fact is that the state of Wu was placed together by the state of Jin, although it was very angry, but a mature monarch would not be rash, and it stands to reason that he should push the boat down the river and continue to cooperate with the state of Jin in the current situation where the state of Jin borders the state of Chu and the state of Chu.
However, Wu Guo did not.
The monarchs of all countries were astonished and a little at a loss.
Should I attend?
For some small countries, there are worries and apprehensions, and some people see this as an opportunity for the whole country to prepare for war, which means that a big change is coming.
However, this preparation does not mean that you want to participate in the alliance led by Cangguo.
Because no country dares to offend the Jin State casually.
What if only a few countries respond?
You must know that although there are Ruan, Chu, Wu, and Yun to respond, the Jin State also has allies, although it is not a big country, but with the help of these dozen or so younger brothers, it has a very important role in strategy.
Moreover, it is not certain whether this alliance can succeed, in the history of the Dali Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for many countries to join together to fight against the overlord.
Let's just say that Cangguo, who initiated the alliance, is still fighting with Sheng Guo in the north, which makes people very uneasy at first glance.
For a time, many countries have maintained a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see what happens next.
And just like that, day by day......
It wasn't until mid-May that a piece of news suddenly came out.
The Son of Heaven, with the help of Cangguo, got away!
The Son of Heaven is the nominal co-lord of all countries, representing the entire Dali Dynasty, and is the legal basis for the existence of some small countries, and is also regarded as the only person who can inherit the mandate of heaven and communicate with heaven and earth at a deep level.
In the past, even the leader of the Jin State needed to ask the Son of Heaven to give him Ding Shi every time he met the alliance, so that he could be justified and impeccable.
This time, the Jin State suddenly annexed the Son of Heaven Wang Ji, after capturing Wang Ji, the most important thing is to destroy the Ji family, so that the Dali Dynasty can be completely buried in the smoke and clouds of history, which is conducive to the advancement of the next strategy of the Jin State.
However, I didn't expect such a catastrophe to happen halfway.
Ji Hao, the son of the Great Rite, had already been besieged in Kyoto, the cities in all directions had been occupied, and some princes and nobles had also surrendered, and he was already in danger.
Originally, Ji Hao didn't have any hope at all, because he knew that once the Jin Kingdom broke through Kyoto, he, as the co-lord of the world, would definitely be eliminated quickly.
He was preparing to cut himself.
But unexpectedly, suddenly a group of women with a group of people fell from the sky.
Ji Hao escaped.
With the seal of the Son of Heaven of the Dali Dynasty, as well as a dry of important things, he was taken out of the palace late at night.
In order to prevent the Jin army from not recognizing this Son of Heaven, Bai Mei and others also specially asked Ji Hao to turn around in a group at the height of the city, and issued an edict of the Son of Heaven, denouncing the evil deeds of the Jin State.
When they were about to reach the border, and it was also the most dangerous time, the Qilin Army broke through the blockade and entered Wangji to respond.
and then to the Cangguo and Jin Kingdoms, there is finally no danger.
Before Ji Hao set foot on the land of Cangguo, the news had already spread, and after more than ten days, all the major vassal states got the news.
The situation was immediately reversed.
If it is said that a moment ago, the major vassal states were still a little worried about whether the Cang State would have the ability to form an alliance and become one of the main forces attacking the Jin State.
Now, then, it's complete faith.
This kind of behavior of snatching food from the mouth of the Jin State can be regarded as completely offending the Jin State, and the relationship between the two countries is destined to be irreconcitable.
……
The feedback from various countries has all reached Cangguo.
Yang Mu asked people to mark the information of the vassal states on a large map.
In the past three years, the situation of the Dali Dynasty has been turbulent, from 56 countries to 35.
Among them, there are also some countries that are fighting and crumbling, such as the Thunder Country, the Cai Country, the Green Onion Country, and so on.
More than a dozen days ago, there were less than 10 people who responded to the meeting.
But in the past few days, more people have responded.
This is not surprising, except for the old alliance leader of the Jin Kingdom, no matter who comes to convene the alliance, it will make people distrustful.
If it weren't for Cangguo in the end to snatch the banner of the Son of Heaven, the influence would be much smaller.
Not only that, but there is another issue involved, which is the route of the alliance and the dispatch of troops.
If many countries do not approve of the alliance, the transit of those who support the country is a big problem, after all, how can the emperor of a country risk his life and enter the territory of another country?
The same is true for the subsequent deployment of troops.
……
The period of the alliance is tentatively set for the tenth day of June.
It's not that it's in a hurry, but because this day is the day of the founding of the Dali Dynasty.
At the beginning, the ancestors of the Dali Dynasty took advantage of the collapse of the Immortal Empire to take the opportunity to divide one side, and because the situation was not very stable, the forces were complicated, and many places were still inaccessible and barbaric areas, so the system of sub-feudalism was determined.
To this day, more than 400 years have passed.
At the beginning, the divided kingdoms were full of vitality and prosperity, but the Dali Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom and fell apart.
On the 10th day of the sixth month, it can be said that it is best to meet in the name of the Son of Heaven to fight against injustice.
This is the first time that Cangguo has held a grand event.
It is also the first time that Cangcheng ushered in the respect of the emperors of various countries, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were very busy, and even the 50,000 forbidden troops guarding the imperial city were all dispatched to maintain law and order.
Of course, this is just the change in Cangcheng, and the people really feel it.
