Chapter 590: Wang Rui's Expedition to the West

"Da Lang, how can you bear to let the child leave us so early!"

At this moment, Cheng Xueyan and Zhu Qingqing in the Zhenhai Palace both looked at Wang Ze with annoyed faces, and even shouted out the title of 'Da Lang', which had not been used for a long time, showing that the two girls were really angry, and Pei Xiu next to him looked at the three of them helplessly, and finally just shook their heads and didn't say anything.

The cause of this incident also lies in Wang Ze's future arrangements for several children in his family, and Wang Ze's future arrangements for the children greatly surprised them.

It turned out that just today, Wang Ze actually revealed to them that he was going to divide all his sons to establish their own countries when they were twenty-five years old, leaving only Wang Zhen, the fifth son born to Zhu Qingqing, as his heir to cultivate.

Hearing Wang Ze's thoughts, Cheng Xueyan and Pei Xiu were of course unwilling, they all wanted their children to stay by their side, and even inherited the huge empire established by Wang Ze, even Zhu Qingqing, who should have been happy, was angry because Wang Rui was also going to be separated, so they all protested with Wang Ze together.

"The eagle can only become the pride of the sky when it leaves the warm nest, and you should not only feel sorry for the children's suffering, but also take into account the children's own wishes!"

Wang Ze reluctantly enlightened several women, he did not make this arrangement arbitrarily and decided like this, but also took into account the personalities of these sons and their respective wishes to a large extent.

"We don't believe it, today you have to call the children over and everyone will explain it together!" Even if Wang Ze's chosen heir was born to Zhu Qingqing, she was still very unhappy, and now she finally realized how Gongxi Wenyang felt when she said goodbye to Wang Hui and Wang Yu, and she really couldn't stand the long-term separation from her flesh and blood.

In fact, among the three girls, Zhu Qingqing is quite strong, Cheng Xueyan and Pei Xiu's personalities are actually not too calculating, as long as they can persuade Zhu Qingqing, as long as the other two girls make their own choices, they will not say anything different.

Seeing that the two daughters were so persistent, Wang Ze quickly asked his six sons and two daughters to be called to the palace, and even Zhu Ming and Cheng Biao, who had become Wang Ze's sons-in-law, were also called over, asking them to choose their future path in front of their mothers.

Although Wang Ze had discussed this matter with the children separately before, he still explained his decision carefully to the children, and then asked the children to choose in front of several mothers.

The three girls looked at their children nervously one by one, hoping that they could choose the route that suited their wishes, but to the disappointment of several mothers, their children actually showed joy one by one when they heard Wang Ze's words, as if it was a very good thing.

The children are willing to choose to go out on their own to open up a new country, so that not only can they get an unprecedented sense of achievement, not to mention that they have the strong support of their father behind them, and the probability of success is very high, so even the youngest sixth Wang Ke will be excited and his little face is red.

Wang Zhen, who was chosen by Wang Ze as the heir, was also eager to try, he also wanted to establish a country independently, but he felt a little depressed when he heard that his father wanted to leave him as the heir, and then looked at his brothers with envy.

In the end, the three mothers acquiesced in the path their children had chosen, after all, they all wanted their children to achieve something, and if they reluctantly kept their children in the country, then these children would inevitably fight each other for power in the future.

What's more important is that Wang Ze promised them that even if the other children were divided, the country they established would not be a small vassal state, at least the lord of a large country within a radius of thousands of miles, which was the fundamental reason why they did not continue to resolutely oppose it in the end.

However, Wang Ze also promised them that they would not let the children go out until they reached the age of twenty-five, and they would continue to receive due education and training in Xia Guo before that, after all, they did not have enough ability and experience, and these children would not open up the situation even if they had their own support.

In this way, only the eldest son Wang Dong and the second son Wang Rui meet this age limit, although they are still a few months away from turning twenty-five years old, but the army, population, materials and other aspects that should be prepared for them in the early stage have already begun.

After some deliberation in front of the latest version of the world map just drawn by Xia Guo, the second son Wang Rui chose to develop westward, he wanted to continue to conquer the countries of Taixi Continent (Europe) to the west, for the ambition of this ambitious child, Wang Ze just smiled and did not say anything.

However, Wang Ze soon ordered that 100,000 cavalry and 500,000 herdsmen composed of Han herdsmen and naturalized herdsmen from various tribes around Beihai be allocated to Wang Rui as his subordinates.

Wang Rui was overjoyed to learn that he was now twenty-four years old, and he would be able to lead these tribes and armies to establish his own country next year, so he soon said goodbye to his family and took a group of his cronies to Beihai, after all, the relationship between himself and his subordinates still needs to be well connected.

At the same time that Wang Rui had just arrived in Beihai to take over these new subordinates, Wang Ze ordered Qin Han, who was already the supreme military leader of the Xia Kingdom west of Beihai, to lead more than 100,000 cavalry under his command from Wucheng (Irkutsk) to the west, cross the Jianshui (Yenisei River) and continue to sweep the local indigenous tribes westward.

Qin Han's father and uncle were all killed in the war between the Xia Kingdom and the Northern Qi Dynasty, if it weren't for the Xia Kingdom taking care of him, this child would not have been able to climb so fast, and it can be regarded as Xia Guo's compensation for Qin Han.

It's just that although this kid has a good attitude towards his subordinates and Han people, he is a little ruthless towards the enemy, and in the process of attacking these indigenous tribes, there are many tribes who resist and are resolutely exterminated.

Soon, Qin Han's notoriety quickly spread around, and the local natives west of Jianshui continued to flee westward, because the Kangju Hometown (Kazakhstan) and the land in the river in the south were already the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and they could only cross the Ural Mountains in the later generations and flee in the direction of Europe.

Culturally, the Western Simberian Plain is an extension of the Asian savannah cultural belt, and even the Eastern European Great Plains are within the scope of this cultural belt, and all the indigenous tribes living here have basically migrated from the east, and it is not a big deal to flee west in the face of such a formidable enemy.

For a whole summer and autumn, Qin Han led 100,000 Xia cavalry to incorporate the vast land between Jianshui (Yenisei River) and the Candledragon Mountains (Ural Mountain) into the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and the map of the Xia Kingdom was about to change drastically again.

As the entire Western Xianbeilian Plain was incorporated into its territory by the Xia Kingdom, along the key nodes of the rivers on the plain, a number of fortified cities were rapidly built in this short summer, and in the future, it will not only be the residence of the Xia people after they migrated, but also the supply point of Wang Rui's troops on the westward migration route.

At present, the road from Xia to Wucheng has been completed, and 200,000 slaves are struggling to build a gallop road to Dingyuan City (Nizhny Udinsk).

Of course, although the slaves were a little frustrated at first, they were soon motivated by the various incentives of the Xia Kingdom, which had used slaves for more than 40 years and had already summed up a set of effective encouragement and incentive measures for a long time.

When another winter passed, Wang Rui was already familiar with his 600,000 subordinates in the southern part of the Beihai Sea in Condor City (Ulan-Ude), and he had basically mastered these hundreds of thousands of people.

After all, Wang Ze's prestige is terrifying in the entire Xia Guogao, and Wang Rui, as Wang Ze's son, is also very popular with these tribes, plus Wang Rui's own ability has been trained very well in the war, so these tribes welcome Wang Rui to lead him to create a new country.

The 600,000 people under Wang Rui were not all soldiers and herdsmen, but a small and shrunken society, which not only had due craftsmen, doctors, blacksmiths, but even the Zhenhai Great Temple was specially equipped with hundreds of Taoist priests for this huge team, for the soldiers who died in battle and the herdsmen who died along the way.

Of course, after Wang Rui established his own country in the future, these Taoist priests were the main helpers in establishing local temples, and they could be regarded as opening up a new sect foundation for the Haotian God Sect in Taixi Continent further west.

In addition, there are teachers from elementary school to high school and technical school, and even on the way to the westward migration of hundreds of thousands of people, they can maintain the continuity of learning, and the comprehensiveness of this consideration makes the migrating members very satisfied.

When the spring of the forty-third year of the summer calendar came, the ice and snow in Beihai had not completely melted in April and May, Wang Rui began to set off with the leading troops, after all, the distance from Condor City through the entire Xianbeilia to Taixi Continent was tens of thousands of miles, and it was necessary to plan in advance.

The materials needed by the 100,000 army and 500,000 troops are very huge, but fortunately, Wang Rui and these people are all herdsmen, they only need to drive sheep and cattle, and ride horses and carts to slowly migrate to Taixi Continent, not to mention that Qin Han has established so many supply points along the way.

In June, Wang Rui personally led a large army from the position of the later Yekaterina Fort to cross the Candle Dragon Mountains and invade the Taixi Continent, a vast plain suitable for the gallop of 100,000 Xia cavalry.

By the time all of his 600,000 troops crossed the Candle Dragon Mountains to join him in September of that year, he had completely defeated the local Great Bolgars and occupied a large area of land around Kazan and Samarra from the Candle Dragon Mountains to the Hua River (Volga).

However, the Great Bolgars were originally a branch of the Bolgars who fled north after being defeated by the Khazars, and their strength was not too strong at this time, and because of Wang Rui's attack on the Great Bolgars, the most powerful Khazars in the Volga and Don River valleys became vigilant at this time.
