Chapter 289: Hanhai Country
This day is a major day for the Manggul Kingdom, just as the Shenlong Empire has a Victory Day and a National Day, and today is the anniversary of the founding of the Manggul Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in Manggul, this day is known as the "Heroic Founding Day". On this day, the people of Manggul are dressed in costumes, singing and dancing, and the whole country celebrates. And families with newborn boys will take their children to the Hall of Heroes to be baptized, and parents hope that their sons will become heroes in the Hall of Heroes in the future.
This day was also the time when King Manggul received the envoys of his subjects, and Queen Anne was receiving them in the royal palace at this time. This is Anne's favorite thing to do, because she can hear many interesting stories about various countries, and she can also get gifts from her subjects. However, this year's situation is a bit special, the ten-city small country called Anguo, and the two ten-city small states like Anguo did not appear on the list of envoys to meet the queen. In place of these three small nations was a new state called the Hanhai Kingdom, and this country had thirty cities, which was among the upper middle states of Mangul's subjects.
Conquest between subject nations was a common occurrence, even if the overlord did not want the smaller states to be destroyed. However, in the face of fait accompli, on the premise that the new country is very deferential to the suzerain, the monarch of the suzerainty will generally only reprimand a few words and warn him to agree. To be honest, Anne is not very interested in those small countries of ten cities, and there are few people in the country and there are no good things, and they quarrel all day because of a little, and Anne is very annoyed.
Now that the three ten-city countries are united, they are only the size of the province of Mangul, so Anne didn't take it to heart.
But since Anne met Yan Hui, she has been influenced by him to learn a lot of allusions to the Dragon Empire, and Anne agrees with the phrase "If you don't tell you, you are a thief". She thinks that it is okay for Hanhai to annex three small countries such as Anguo and establish their own country, but it is too much for you to report in advance. Therefore, the first thing Anne met was the Hanhai envoy group.
When Hubrei, the king of Hanhai who was wearing a delicate armor and a golden crown on his head, walked into the palace, Queen Anne was vigilant against Hanhai Kingdom, because Hubrei's appearance was really outstanding, and although Hubrei was very humble, that kind of heroism could not be concealed.
Anne and Mendel exchanged glances, and Anne knew that Mendel felt the same way as herself.
"The lord of the Hanhai Kingdom, Hubrei, meets Her Majesty Queen Manggul, and wishes the queen eternal youth and Manggul eternal prosperity."
After bowing to Anne, Hubrai straightened up and stood there, waiting for Anne to ask questions.
Annie: "The lord of the country is exempt, where was the ancestral home of the Hanhai National Kingdom before?" ”
Hubrei: "Your Majesty, the predecessor of the Hanhai Kingdom was the Hanhai Ministry, which had lived in the desert oasis for generations, and because the three countries such as An Guo had oppressed our Hanhai Ministry, we were not even allowed to go out of the desert to trade with their merchants. So for a long time, the days of the Hankai Department have been very difficult. As the patriarch of the Hanhai tribe, how could I tolerate the oppression of my own people, so I led my troops to resist the oppression of Anguo, and Anguo united with the other two countries to kill the Hanhai tribe, so I destroyed his country and seized his throne to establish myself in Hanhai State. ”
"Your Majesty, the Hanhai Kingdom is only trying to survive, and has no other ideas. Therefore, as soon as we established the country, we rushed to Manggul to meet Her Majesty the Queen, and our Hanhai country is willing to become a subject of Manggul, and guard the desert land of Hanhai for Manggul for generations. If Her Majesty agrees, the Hanhai Kingdom will be dominated by Her Majesty the Queen, and will be called a tribute every year. ”
Hubre's attitude was still very sincere, but there was always a faint uneasiness in Anne and Mendel's hearts.
Mendel: "Lord Hubrei, have you always survived in the Hanhai Desert?" Where did your ancestors come from? ”
There is a reason why Mendel asks this, Manggul has detailed information about the ins and outs of the subject states, and even the scattered tribes in the subject states have more detailed historical records. However, due to the large number of subject countries, there are even more tribes, and it is impossible to cover everything. At that time, there was no such weapon as a computer, so it was reasonable to ask the ins and outs of the Hanhai Department. After Mendel's questioning, the national teacher Ali Baba had already gone to the royal court archives to find the origin of the Hanhai Department.
Khubrei: "Your Excellency, the Hanhai tribe has lived in the oasis of the Hanhai desert for generations, living by herding, planting, fishing and hunting. The ancestors originated in the Hanhai Desert, but later the ancestors unified the tribes in the Hanhai to form the Hanhai Department. The earliest Hanhai Department was only a few thousand people, so it was not well-known. ”
Anne nodded, and the reason was reasonable. Later, Hubrai presented Queen Anne with a tribute from the Hanhai Kingdom, which was nothing more than some furs, gold and silver, but there was a stone of a very bright color that caught Queen Anne's attention.
"Is this a gem? The color is very beautiful, the texture is similar to that of jade, and the size is also very large, is this a specialty of your Hanhai Kingdom? I remember that Anguo had never offered this kind of stone before. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a specialty of the Hanhai Desert, which can only be found in the depths of the lifeless desert. We call it the Sun Stone, just as His Majesty said that this gemstone is like beautiful jade, but the colors are dazzling and varied, and it is hard to find. Because it is only exposed after a sandstorm, it can only be picked up and not mined like Meiyu, so it is very rare. This is a piece of the Sun Stone that has been treasured by several generations of my clan, and it is now dedicated to Your Majesty to show the reverence of the Hanhai Kingdom for Your Majesty and Manggul. ”
"Very well, then I will take it. Lord Hubrei, please come to the pavilion to rest, and if you have any requests, please consult with Mendel. ”
"Your Majesty, Hubrei retires."
After Hubrei left, Anne met with the ruler of Shule, the largest of the subject states and the closest to Manggul. The lord of Shule is a middle-aged uncle, when Anne asked about the Hanhai country, the lord of the Shule country was stunned for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, this Hanhai country is indeed not long after the establishment of the country, and the land includes three ten-city small countries such as Anguo. The country of Hanhai has few small people, and it is close to the desert of Hanhai, so its national strength is really not worth mentioning. But in the past, the craftsmanship of Anguo craftsmen was still good, and many famous craftsmen in my kingdom were from Anguo, which is now Hanhai Kingdom. ”
"After the Hanhai State, it also sent envoys to inform us and other subject countries, and signed a trade treaty with our subject countries. According to the report of our merchants, Hanhai is more enthusiastic about treating people, and knows how to be honest and make profits when trading, which has aroused the favor of merchants of our subject countries. His Majesty specially sent people to Hanhai Country to investigate, and found that their army was not large, and it was not very strong, and their equipment was equivalent to the level of Anguo. But they have their own writing, they even have their own coins, their systems are very standardized, and their laws are very detailed. It can be seen that it is a tribe with its own cultural characteristics. By the way, their flag is a black flag embroidered with a golden sun. ”
"Well, the lord of the kingdom has been observing very carefully, and I haven't paid attention to any of this. I will pay attention to this Hanhai country, the lord of the country has come from afar, so let's dine with me. ”
The relationship between the strength of the country and the proximity determines the treatment of the lord of the subject country, and the lord of the Shule country seems to be the highest treatment among the subject countries.
Anne handed over the letter of Hanhai to Alibaba, and Alibaba searched through the historical materials and found no record of this so-called Hanhai Ministry. But when he saw the words on Hanhai Kingdom's national letter, he couldn't help frowning.
"Your Majesty, this kind of script is very similar to the Heavenly Wolf script of the Rong Tribe, but it is very different, fortunately they also wrote a national letter in Mang Gur script, so that you can understand the meaning of the Hanhai script at a glance. The minister suspected that this Hanhai tribe was a descendant of the Great Khan of Beirong Hulei hundreds of years ago, and you must know that writing is the mark of a nation. With the changes of the years, the writing can be developed gradually, but the changes are inseparable, and the writing of the Hanhai Kingdom must have originated from the Beirong Heavenly Wolf script. The Beirong Heavenly Wolf script and the Heavenly Wolf Khanate are originally different, and after so many years of development and evolution, they are naturally even more different. However, the minister can be sure that the script of the Hanhai Kingdom must have originated from the Beirong Tianluo script, which means that the Hanhai Department is a descendant of the Beirong. ”
"It turned out to be the remnants of Beirong, but I didn't expect them to take root and multiply in the Hanhai Desert to this day, and they are still a country. What does the Prime Minister think? ”
"The minister felt that it was nothing more than two ways, one was to take advantage of the weakness of the Hanhai State to annihilate one by one, once and for all. The second is to inform all subject countries to closely monitor and guard against the Hanhai State, in case its strength is strong and unfavorable to us. ”
"Well, but for now, Hanhai Kingdom is deferential to us, perhaps because its strength is still weak, and it is to fight for time and space for development. If we follow the first method, it will inevitably lead to other countries saying that we, as the suzerain, are not guilty of our subjects, which will damage the prestige of Manggul's justice. Then there is only the second way, I think that Manggul should be the mainstay, and the Shule State should come forward to form an alliance of the subject countries to monitor and prevent the Hanhai State, what does the Minister of State think? ”
"Your Majesty's wisdom is unmatched, and the old minister also means this."
"Hehe, I think I have to pull Yanhui, and he won't have fun without such a fun thing. Almatan, I have ordered you to send an envoy to the Divine Dragon Empire to inform Yan Hui of this matter. Also, pick a few sun stones and give them to Yan Hui, and ask for more good things from him by the way. As for what you want, you know. ”
Anne winked at Almatan, who collapsed on the ground. Anne's eye wave is not ordinarily lethal, and Almatan is about to be overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that in addition to reporting this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Shenlong Empire, he should also report this matter to General Duan Xiaosi, the commander of the Storm Army, and should also report this matter to the Governor of Anxi, Lord Sun Buregret, and the Governor of Anxi, General Zhang Deyi."
"Good. You directly send an envoy to the Shenlong Empire, and I will let Duke Rommel handle other matters, and he can come forward without waiting for Yan Hui's will to arrive, which is very convenient. ”
"Your Majesty is wise."
The ministers praised Queen Anne's wisdom in unison, and Anne was so proud that she could not sit still.
"Okay, today is Heroes' Day, let's go play together."
The ministers are full of black lines, it is said that the queen invites everyone to be happy together, and everyone should be happy, but Anne's sports cells are very developed, and the activities she organizes are all sports that energetic young people like, but they are not something that these uncles and uncle-level ministers can stick to. However, since the queen had spoken, she could not refuse to listen, so the ministers had to rejoice with Anne.
There are also many alternatives among the ministers, and the national teacher Ali Ba is very fond of the sports organized by Anne, according to his own words: "Watching a group of girls and boys jumping around me, I feel a lot younger." ”
Almutan once asked Alibaba: "National teacher, why do you like to stay with young people at such an old age, what they like may not be suitable for you." ”
Alibaba: "Wrong, when the national teacher was young, he was obsessed with learning and missed the best time, and now he has become famous, and he must get back the wasted youth." Therefore, the teachers of the country that young people like are liked, and it has nothing to do with age, because I have a heart that will never grow old. ”
Queen Anne praised this sentence of the national teacher, and gave several maids who were as beautiful as flowers and deceived frost and snow to Alibaba. This made the envious eyes of the ministers shine, and they went home to ask their sons and daughters how to get along with young people, so that the relationship between the old and the young in the whole country was extremely harmonious. Don't be surprised to see your grandson and grandfather drinking and dancing together in Mangul, because it's a normal thing in Mangul.
Almutan led a huge delegation of envoys to the Shenlong Empire, Mukden is the place Almutan is most willing to go, the new Mukden is more prosperous than before, neat and grand, Almatan's favorite thing is to invite a few friends of the empire, such as Ouyang, Ximen, Xiaoxian and others, and then bring a few neon buildings of the red card to sail the Qingjiang, that feeling is definitely more attractive than the hot dance of Manggul.
