453. Daughter-in-law, Queen!
Even if some people had doubts, after knowing that the woman Han Feng was holding in his arms at the moment was Princess Audrey of the previous dynasty, these people who had doubts immediately surrendered willingly.
After all, the lord of the country who just died is just a thief who steals the country.
Now that the princess has returned and defeated the thieves who steal the country, then those of them who still have a sense of identity with the Principality of Oya will naturally surrender sincerely.
Han Feng came to Dongshi Canyon, which had been filled with water, and at this time, the large barge fleet of Yunfan City also happened to arrive at the mouth of the valley and joined Han Feng.
Boarding the barge, Han Feng asked the follow-up fleet to pick up his people across the river, and at the same time received all the surrendered troops and pulled them home.
Han Feng, the princess and Prince Sedar are also home!
Target, the royal city of the Duchy of Oya!
On the same day, Han Feng took Princess Audrey to recover the royal city.
To recover the royal city, Han Feng did not bother at all.
The people of the royal city, hearing that Princess Audrey and Prince Sedar had returned, and that the thieves who had stolen the country were also dead, took the initiative to open the city gates to welcome the princess to restore the dynasty.
Everything went so smoothly.
The soldiers and horses who were preparing to enter the West from the mountain pass near Rogge's camp and were preparing to attack Wanshan City and Tieliu City also defected in front of the muskets and cannons arranged by Han Feng and the heroic Wolf Family Guards.
Supporting the restoration of the princess is the will of the people.
Only when they have lost can they know that compared to the brutality of the current lord, the mediocrity of the previous lord is probably their luck as a people.
The strength of the principality has lost tens of thousands of troops in this war, and the national strength has become even weaker.
However, the incorporation of more than 10,000 troops is also a kind of preservation of strength for the country.
It's better than continuing to kill each other on the battlefield and consume each other.
Things aren't all perfect, though.
The only problem is that the people of the entire Principality of Oya hate Han Feng!
Because it was Han Feng who dug the water of the canal, he drowned tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Principality of Oya.
I don't know how many people of the Principality of Oya lost their families on this day.
How could they not hate Han Feng.
When they entered the city, they even put forward a request that Han Feng should not be allowed to enter the city.
It's just that the princess didn't agree.
In the end, they were also afraid of Han Feng's soldiers coming to the city, so they had to make concessions and allow Han Feng to enter the city.
However, this is already their last concession.
They will never accept Han Feng to ascend the throne as the head of the country.
Otherwise, they would rather rebel again.
Although Han Feng holds great power, he is not afraid of others rebelling.
It's just a big deal to put down the rebellion again.
But at this time, it is really not only the Wolf family that needs to recuperate, the entire Principality of Oya has lost tens of thousands of elites this time, and its national strength has been greatly damaged, and the entire Principality also needs to recuperate.
When a country's strength suddenly becomes weak, the surrounding countries will not be too idle.
Han Feng can foresee the problems in the future.
It is also the Chinese people who have had the idea of the world and the common people since ancient times, and Han Feng promised these people for the sake of the overall situation, and he would not ascend the throne as the lord of the country.
Instead, they will support Audrey as queen.
Obviously, this decision conforms to the will of the people, so this decision will certainly be supported.
That's how the big picture is decided.
Audrey is about to become the first queen in the history of the Duchy of Oya.
Princess Audrey herself is unwilling to do this.
Because, of course, she would not want to be above Han Feng herself.
Han Feng also understands that sometimes the status of who is the head of the country is very important, but at this time, it can only be so.
He ascended the throne strongly, and in exchange for only a complete loss.
Han Feng can't afford to lose.
Because the Wolf family can't afford to lose.
The more victorious we are, the more we must be soberly aware of the crisis buried behind the victory.
Yes, Audrey was persuaded by Han Feng.
She was willing to temporarily ascend the throne as queen.
However, she said that she would listen to Han Feng in everything.
Han Feng also understood the importance of seizing power, so he also set up a position of consul for himself.
Like the previous lord of the country, he is in charge of the entire state affairs for the lord of the country.
That is, the real one person is below ten thousand people.
However, when this matter comes to Han Feng, it is actually a little different.
Because Han Feng's consul actually holds more real power than the queen.
After all, Princess Audrey is Han Feng's daughter-in-law, and she has to listen to Han Feng, the head of the family!
Han Feng is a de facto lord of the country.
It's just that due to the unacceptance of the people's will, it can only be changed in this way.
In fact, the whole thing was not unexpected by Han Feng.
Because since deciding on the plan to flood the army, Han Feng thought that it would be such a result.
After all, in this way, tens of thousands of lives were ended, and they were definitely nailed to the history books, and the name of brutality was absolutely indispensable.
However, Han Feng still has no regrets.
Because as long as the family can die less, preserve more strength, and retain the foundation of the world, once again, Han Feng will still make the same choice, and there will be no hesitation.
Because, that's history. History always needs some great men who do not care about personal gains and losses, and work for the welfare of the public. Even if these decisions are not accepted by these people at this moment.
This is the difference between a great man and a politician. Great men can ignore personal gains and losses, but politicians do not. The gain or loss of a vote can make them fall for it.
For his sister to ascend the throne as queen, Prince Sedar must be unacceptable.
However, he is powerless to change the will of the people. In terms of strength, he can't compete with Han Feng, even if he doesn't want to, what can he do.
All he could do was put pressure on his sister Audrey through sibling affection, but Audrey resisted.
She didn't resist the pressure of accusations from her brother for herself, but for Han Feng, she withstood the threat of family affection from her brother.
Because she is Han Feng's daughter-in-law after all, she is the young lady of the Wolf family, although the Principality of Oya used to belong to their family, it stands to reason that it should be given to her brother, but now all this is brought down by Han Feng. Naturally, Audrey will know what she should do as Han Feng's wife and as the daughter-in-law of the Wolf family.
That is, she will not take the interests of the family to give favors to her brother and brother.
Audrey's words made it very clear that even if Sedar never recognized her again in the future, she would not do so and give up the principality.
Let my brother recognize the reality.
The principality under the governance of Han Feng will last for a long time. Even if she is her brother's sister, she thinks that her brother is not capable of governing a country well.
Even if Sedar understands that his sister's words make sense. However, emotion is emotion, reason is reason, and he must not accept this result.
So, Sedar decided to refuse to recognize Audrey's legitimacy.
He will not attend Audrey's queen enthronement ceremony.
