Chapter 287: The Great Banner Country (2)

The Great Banner State, one of the four major countries in the east of the river, is located in the northeast of the river, its north is frequently adjacent to the ice fields that stretch for thousands of miles, the west is the vast Gobi Desert, and the east and south are bordered by several countries, the geographical location is similar to the Qin State in the pre-Qin era, the population of the country is 18 million, and the hidden mountains and forests, sheltered in the noble house, The hidden households in the temple are unknown, but despite this, the Great Banner State is still the second most populous country among the sixteen countries in Hedong (the first is the Longwei State, with a registered population of 25 million), with an area of nearly three million square kilometers, accounting for more than one-fifth of the total area of the entire Hedong region.

The surname of the Daqi royal family is 'big', and one of the sixteen kingdoms of Hedong is the same clan as the Nagato royal family, its first king Da Fu, the great-grandson of the sixth king of Nagato country, and a famous general of the clan in Nagato country, 190 years ago, when it was the heyday of Nagato country, Da Fu was ordered by the eighth king of Nagato country at that time, and swore to 600,000 Northern Expedition.

The Great Welfare expanded the territory of hundreds of miles in only three months, and the destroyer of the country was five, just when the Northern Expeditionary Army was proud of the spring breeze and high morale, the news of the domestic coup d'état came, the prince of Nagato launched a coup d'état, imprisoned the eighth king, and established himself as the king, and then, of course, was dissatisfied with some princes and ministers, the civil war inevitably broke out, and the 160,000 elite soldiers in the north naturally entered the field of vision of all parties in the civil war, so the letter drifted to the Northern Expeditionary Army like snowflakes, in which all kinds of coercion and temptation, in short, asked the Great Welfare to join their camp。

Affected by this news, people were panicked for a while, the Northern Expeditionary Army was almost about to collapse, and it was no longer possible to continue the Northern Expedition.

At this critical juncture, Da Welfare made a decision and did the same thing as the Qin generals in Chinese history, cutting off the way back, staying out of the matter, not adding to either side, continuing the unfinished Northern Expedition, and in a word, continuing to expand the territory and separating one side.

And then there was the Great Banner State.

As for how Da Fu persuaded his soldiers and generals at that time, the truth is unknown, anyway, what is written in the history books of the Great Banner Country is nothing more than how Da Fu shook his body, and the Quartet Haojie bowed his head. And the history books of Nagato Province must be a great black welfare.

In fact, the facts are no longer important, the result is important, the result is the successful establishment of the Great Banner State, and the national strength soon surpassed the Patriarchal State, becoming one of the four powerhouses in Hedong, which has been inherited for 190 years and has gone through five generations of monarchs.

Of course, because the banner country was built in a hurry, too many interest exchanges and compromises were made in the early days of the founding of the country, resulting in a large number of nobles in the country, and the tail was not lost, and the royal family was equivalent to the leader of the aristocratic alliance, and could not do what he wanted, similar to the Chu State, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States, the consequence of the decentralization of power is the dispersion of talents, there is a saying: 'My boss's boss, not my boss;

This is also the reason why the flag country can only be regarded as one of the top four, and cannot dominate, fortunately, the other three powers, the domestic problems are no less than it.

This is the luck of the Great Banner Country, and it is also the luck of China.

The current king of the Great Banner Country is the fifth generation of kings, named Da Wei Xiong, who is seventy-two years old this year, and is a veteran politician who has reigned for twenty-two years, but as a martial artist, his cultivation is not weak, so his body is still very healthy, and he does not look old at all, which is really the misfortune of the princes of the Great Banner Country.

In the sixth year of Huaxia, on August 26, 190 years of the Great Banner Kingdom, early in the morning, Da Wei Xiong was having breakfast with the queen and the three minor children, and at the same time, Duanmu Ci solemnly put on the crimson civil official uniform of Huaxia Congsanpinzhu State, led the military attache Shi Lin in the blue robe, the deacon and counselor Wang Yikun in the blue robe, and the brocade Wei Qianhu Leng Jian in the officer uniform (the flying fish suit was too obvious), Li Guoan, a lieutenant colonel of the Military Intelligence Bureau wearing an officer's uniform, went to the Yamen, which was in charge of foreign affairs in the Great Banner State, let's call it the Pedestrian Office, to submit an application to meet the king.

Of course, Leng Jian and Li Guoan both have a disguised position on the surface, otherwise it is similar to provocation to show the identity of the spy to others, and it is light to be beaten to death by others.

"Let's go, the next thing is to wait!" Duanmu Ci walked out of the pedestrian heat, raised his eyes to look at the sun in the sky, and then said to the left and right, "Let's wait patiently!"

"Shilang, how long do you think we have to wait?" After the group sat in the carriage prepared by the hundred households of Purple Flag City, Shi Lin, that is, the big man who reminded Duanmu Ci at the gate of the city at the beginning, couldn't help but ask, this guy is five big and three thick, with strong muscles, and the official uniform on his body is bulging, it doesn't look easy to mess with, but in fact it is really not easy to mess with.

In addition to Shi Lin, there was also Wang Yikun in the carriage, and when he heard Shi Lin's question, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Duanmu Ci was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Regardless of whether the Great Banner Country has the will to participate in the war or not, for them, our Huaxia itself is a worthwhile... Well, how to say it, the hunt for new things, after all, the name of China has long been spread in the Hedong region, but it has always been a vague concept, one, the upper echelons of Hedong did not pay attention to it, and the other is too far away, under word of mouth, it is inevitable to be distorted... In any case, for the Great Banner Country, a door-to-door, an opportunity to learn more about Huaxia, they will inevitably be interested, so it is certain that they will summon us... But..."

"But what?" Shi Lin couldn't help but smile lightly when he heard that he would definitely be summoned, but Duanmuci's 'but' made him a little worried.

"However, if the king of the Great Banner State or some powerful nobleman wants to deliberately suppress our arrogance, we will have to wait for a while. It was Wang Yikun who replied.

"How long will it take?" went around and around to the question.

"Don't worry, it won't be too long!" Duanmu Ci said confidently, "If they have the idea of participating in the war, there will be results in three or five days, if they don't have this idea, just out of curiosity and due diplomatic etiquette, they don't dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise, not only will we lose face, but at the same time, the banner country will also leave a rude stigma among the countries." Ten days at the latest, news will come!"10
