Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 770
"His Majesty!"

"Uncle Wang, under such circumstances, the country cannot live without a crown prince. Although I have children, they are too young. I suggest choosing an outstanding man from the current royal family. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think Mayisa is the only one!" Mahmoud said after a little thought.

"Mayisha? Uncle Wang, you"

"Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, China has sent someone to contact me, expressing its willingness to support us in expulsing the British and French forces. After repeated weighing, I think we should take refuge in China. Afghanistan is a weak country. In this case, we will We can only find a strong foreign aid to protect our country, and the Chinese emperor is also willing to marry Mayisa, so the interests of China and Afghanistan will be tightly bound together."

"This, can, can it work?"

"I can only gamble. If the confrontation with China continues, Afghanistan will most likely become the next one." Uncle Mahmud said firmly.

"Well, Uncle Wang, everything, everything is up to you!" Zahir let go of his hand weakly, he still had a weak pulse, but everyone present knew that their king was running out of time.

At 9:23 on September 23, Kabul time, the young King of Afghanistan, Mohammad Zahir, died of serious injuries at the Royal Army Hospital in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, at the age of 26.Soon, according to the last order signed by King Zahir before his death, the current Minister of Defense, the first war god in Afghanistan, and his uncle Mohammad Mahmoud succeeded as the new king of Afghanistan, while the eldest princess Mohammad Maisha became the unprecedented Afghan The first queen in history.

Outside Kabul, the Dragon Army headquarters.

"Commander-in-Chief, it seems that Zahir's luck was a bit unlucky, and he died within a few days. It's all right now. I think Afghanistan will surrender to us soon." Song Zheyuan said to Feng Yuxiang excitedly.

Feng Yuxiang pondered and said: "Did you notice that the Afghans actually installed a crown prince? This is unprecedented. Not to mention the Arab countries like Afghanistan, most monarchical countries reject female crown princes." Is there something hidden here?" Feng Yuxiang couldn't understand how that little girl who didn't have much talent for politics became the Crown Prince of Afghanistan in just one turn.

"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry too much. What's so special about the crown prince? Didn't the British and the Dutch both have queens? It's not unusual. Maybe it's because a military-minded person is needed to be the crown prince during the war." After all, that beautiful princess is still good at fighting, otherwise how dare she single-handedly blow up our arsenal."

"I always feel that something is wrong. Even if the Afghan royal family suffered heavy losses, it is not necessary to let a little girl come out to save the country. Isn't this a bit outrageous?"

"What are you afraid of? Wait a minute. After a while, I think the matter will be resolved. The Afghans will surrender to us within 24 hours." Song Zheyuan said confidently.

"If it weren't for the fact that Afghanistan is the springboard for us to enter the Middle East and even the entire Mediterranean region of North Africa, I would never have risked the danger of being notorious through the ages to enter Afghanistan. I, Feng Yuxiang, have fought hundreds of battles since I joined the army. The war in Afghanistan was the worst. The emperor has already generated electricity and criticized the use of chemical weapons. This shows that I, Feng Yuxiang, are incompetent in governing the army. If this matter gets out, we will die of wimps. .” Feng Yuxiang shook his head helplessly.

"Commander-in-Chief, I don't understand. The Middle East is full of sand, and we can't farm it at all. What do we want there?" In Song Zheyuan's view, it doesn't matter if you want a piece of land that can't be farmed. .

"Confused! Do you know what the current cars, planes, and ships burn? Gasoline and diesel. These are all produced through oil, and our country's oil fields are very limited. It is a typical oil-poor country. , with the development of industry, the demand for oil will continue to grow. At that time, as long as the oil-rich countries hold us tight, the economy of the empire is likely to be paralyzed; in other words, even our The country is not short of oil, but as long as we control global oil production, we can control the lifeblood of global economic development. When necessary, we can simply use economic means to fight a worldwide 'war'. You Do you understand?" Feng Yuxiang's grasp of the political situation is still very accurate.

"Is this oil really that important?"

"Oil is the second life for the development of an empire, so we can't be careless in the slightest, but the news from Afghanistan still makes me more or less worried."

"There is nothing to worry about. Isn't the situation in Afghanistan moving in a direction that is beneficial to us?"

"Mahmud is not Zahir. As a politician and military strategist with rich experience in struggle, he will not sit back and watch us control the whole of Afghanistan. If I am not wrong, he will definitely ask Britain to send troops. The main force is here, and this battle will be difficult."

"British, haven't they always avoided conflict with us?"

"Avoid? It's all a political game. It's like two gamblers. It depends on who has more chips in his hand. Whoever has more chips will dare to play cards! Of course the British dare not underestimate the military power of the empire, but we are in Will the British still pay attention to the troops in Afghanistan?"

"Then if the British really send troops, wouldn't it mean that there will be a full-scale war between our two countries?"

"It's not necessary to start a full-scale war, but a real fight should be inevitable, because none of us can change King Mahmud's mind, right?"

"General, hypothetical, just hypothetical, what would happen if King Mahmud died suddenly? Could the regime in Afghanistan fall into the hands of the princess?" Song Zheyuan suddenly asked a very strange question.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"As far as I know, our agents can now often see King Mahmud and Princess Maisha. Do you think we can use this to get rid of King Mahmud?"

"Stupid! Doesn't that mean telling the whole world that Mahmud was killed by us?"

Song Zheyuan hit a wall and stopped talking.

Kabul Palace.

"Father, is this appropriate?" Princess Maisha was shocked when she heard that she was being appointed as the Crown Prince of Afghanistan.

"Fate, Mayisa, this is your fate. Since you are the Crown Prince of Afghanistan, you must accept your fate. This is a matter of no choice. The safety of the Kingdom of Afghanistan depends on you!" Making a deal with his beloved daughter is something that a tough man like Prince Mahmud can't do, but he has no choice when he is in a desperate situation.

"Father, since this is the case, why do you still send someone to negotiate with the British for aid? Between China and the UK, which side do you plan to choose?"

"As the Crown Prince of Afghanistan, you should be clear that both the British and the Chinese have ambitions for our country. In this case, I cannot easily trust either party. I will find a way to leave a way out for Afghanistan. , retreat, do you understand?"

"Father, do you mean that the Chinese also have ambitions for the territory of the Kingdom of Afghanistan? But I think the Chinese emperor is a good man who can keep his promises, and that General Zhang Zuolin is also a well-known man. What they say will definitely be done."

"Maisha, you are still a child. You can't understand many things. It's hard to say right or wrong about politics. In short, I want to be worthy of the heroic spirit of the Afghan royal family. Of course I hope that the Chinese can keep their promises, and I hope that you and China It is my greatest hope that the children of the emperors can inherit the throne of Afghanistan, and I do not ask for anything other than to keep the blood of the Afghan royal family flowing on the Afghan king."

"What is my father going to do? I won't pack me up and give it to the Chinese, right?"

"Maisha, you don't need to worry about this. I have informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just now. They are now in contact with China. It is estimated that there will be a result soon. I just want to know if you are willing to do something for the Afghan people. this sacrifice."

"Father, do I still have a choice? I promise you!" Ma Yisha smiled with a complicated expression, and left her father's palace.

Beijing, in the Forbidden City.After Zhang Zuolin reported all these plans to the emperor, Guan Xuqing could only smile wryly, looked at Xu Shichang, then at Feng Xianghua, and then said: "Yuting, you are really there, Feng Yuxiang doesn't know about this, even I I don't know, but you actually threw me out in order to seize Afghanistan."

Feng Xianghua wanted to laugh, but seeing the emperor's expression, he didn't dare to laugh, while Xu Shichang was sweating, his heart was pounding, and he secretly complained that Zhang Zuolin was reckless. How to deal with him.

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "Chen Rong said something, the emperor often teaches us that the way to use troops is to attack the heart. If this matter can be reconciled, there will be 'four benefits'."

"Oh?" Guan Xuqing became interested and asked, "I want to hear, what's the 'four benefits'?"

"First, after the marriage between the two countries, Afghanistan can be won without a fight, which can avoid the loss of soldiers and generals, and can also reduce a large amount of military expenses. Second, Afghanistan is located in a strategic location connecting Asia with the Middle East, and the marriage of the two countries is bound to strengthen the empire. Since then, our army has a strategic outpost where we can sit back and relax, and our soldiers can drive straight into the Middle East and even Europe. If the political situation in Afghanistan is unstable, our Middle East offensive will not last long. Third, after the marriage between the two countries , the imperial army can work with the Afghans to completely drive the British and French troops out of this area. In the future, there is no need to be afraid that the Afghans will collude with Britain and France, because it will be a matter of time before Crown Prince Mayisa becomes the queen of Afghanistan. Everyone will be a family from now on. , it is impossible for something to happen. Fourth." Speaking of this, Zhang Zuolin hesitated, and he hesitated to say the second half of the sentence.
