Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

In addition, at the cost of providing certain agricultural support, Daxia exchanged the right to use the church in the Samanjan area-although it is said that the right to use the church was brought down by Daxia, and the current regime in Samanjan is also Daxia It was fostered, but Daxia didn't want his actual vassal state to become impoverished and hungry because of the aftermath of the war.

Therefore, they simply used the agricultural support that Daxia is good at as a bargaining chip in exchange for the right to use those churches.Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it is a loss-making business to exchange professional agricultural technology for a bunch of buildings that will not produce anything, but Xia Yuxiao has other ideas.

In order to spread the Gospel of the Holy Lord, these churches are basically built very beautifully, and they often target various cities in Samanjan, almost all of which are built around or even in the center of the city.

Daxia does not need these places, but if they are used as a stronghold for Daxia to promote and assimilate Samanjan, it is indeed a good way.

It is actually not difficult for the upper-class princes and nobles to change their minds.Just like the king in Samanjan, a simple threat and some benefits are enough to make him grateful.However, the nationals of Samanjan are not.

Individual people are easy to assimilate, but when countless people are together, especially when they have long accepted the ideas instilled in their own country, this group is very difficult to assimilate.

Relying on the frequent exchanges between the upper strata of Daxia and the upper strata of Samanjiang, it is impossible to change the situation between the two countries.Therefore, Xia Yuxiao's idea is to renovate the churches and send people stationed in Daxia into each church, so as to obtain information about Samanjan and monitor the actions of the Samanjan government in real time; on the other hand, It also centered on the church to educate the people of Samanjan for a long time.

The situation maintained only by temporary force will be broken sooner or later, so it might as well spend more time, through assimilation, so that these people can get enough transformation.

After confirming that everything with Samanjan had been completed, Qin Ji put down the official documents in his hands with confidence.

"That way, we can concentrate on dealing with the problems in the north."

Although there is still no guarantee that the west side will be fully operational, at least the pressure on the west side has indeed reduced a lot. After this war, it is time for Daxia to start thinking about the north side.

After Ban Ge took over the power of the Saar Dynasty, the overall actions of the Saar Dynasty were relatively radical. In other words, their original king chose him because of his radicalness.

Although the Saar Dynasty has temporarily surrendered to Daxia and made certain compromises, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Saar Dynasty is hostile to Daxia.

Or rather, covet.

It's very simple, these guys in the north have always been greedy for the richness in the south, which is why they repeatedly violated the border, plundered and tore up the covenant.That being the case, Daxia must control them as much as possible to prevent the northern border from threatening the people of Daxia.

So, Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao are discussing in the study at the moment.

"I think now is the time for us to give orders to Wuheya." In this regard, Xia Yuxiao gave her own judgment, "Wuheya has been with us for a while, and the issue of the northern border cannot be resolved." It doesn't matter, but we can't waste people and money too much... Wuheya can allow us to achieve the goals we want to achieve at a relatively low cost."

Chapter 69 Another Wave

When Wuheya saw Qin Ji, she had already guessed a thing or two.

"I just said, sooner or later you will use me."

The girl sighed, then turned her body slightly: "Please, Qin Taiwei."

Wuheya's room is still very warm and comfortable. Although she is a proton, Daxia still treats her as a guest, so she basically has everything she should have, except that her personal freedom is slightly restricted-travel needs Accompanied by attendants.

Qin Ji looked at the unfinished dinner on her table and thought for a while.

"Didn't eat?" How could Wuheya not know what Qin Ji was thinking, she immediately understood what he meant.

"I didn't eat. It wasn't time for meal when I came out. There was something urgent to do in the middle, so it was delayed."

Qin Ji is used to it. As the country's second-in-command, he often faces all kinds of unexpected affairs, and it's not always possible to eat on time.

"Exactly. I bought beef soup and shortbread here. I haven't eaten much yet. Do you want some together?"

Wuheya asked.

If it were someone else, this kind of hospitality is really unflattering. After all, it is a little bit of a treat for a guest—and a guest of Qin Ji’s status, to give someone a meal that you haven’t finished yourself. It's hard to say, but the friendship between the two is here, so naturally they don't care about these things in private.

"Okay, give me a bowl."

Qin Ji was also really a little hungry, and the fragrant beef soup and crispy shortbread were constantly emitting aromas to tempt him. At this moment, he really wanted to eat some of these things to fill his stomach.

Wuheya didn't bother to ask the maid to do it, so she simply picked up the small pot of beef soup by herself, took out a new bowl, filled it with Qin Ji, and then gave Qin Ji a piece of the shortbread wrapped in paper.

Qin Ji took a bite of the shortbread, the crispy skin made a refreshing cracking sound, the chewy texture inside was accompanied by a sweet noodle aroma, and another bite of beef soup immediately filled the mouth with the aroma, it was simply irresistible.

"Well, not bad. Where did you buy it?"

Qin Ji said in admiration.

"In the market to the west, there is a small shop next to a butcher's shop," Wuheya smiled, and said, "The owner of that butcher's shop is familiar with one of my maids, so my maid was recommended by him. Picked this one."

"Why, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Saar dynasty, now she actually likes this kind of ordinary street food?" Qin Ji joked.

This kind of food is actually not uncommon in Tai'an City. This kind of beef soup is often close to the butcher's shop, so when it is used to make beef soup, it is made directly from the butcher's shop next door. It was very delicious.

Of course, there is a lower grade, which is not normal beef, but the scraps left over from the butcher next door.Although this cheap beef soup doesn't look good and tastes a lot worse, it also has a meaty taste, which is a serious meaty taste.Therefore, a large number of laborers or ordinary people often appear nearby to buy this beef soup.

It is cheap and allows people to taste some meat, which is enough. For the common people, it is very affordable to buy meat at the lowest price.

"That's how I eat it in my country. What's so common about it?" To this, Wuheya just replied disdainfully, "In our country, this way of stewing meat soup is very common. Many of the broken meat and bones are stewed, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm sorry." Qin Ji smiled helplessly, and it was only at this time that he realized that Wuheya was a serious Saar, who grew up eating meat and drinking milk, "Let's get back to the topic, this The reason why I came this time is because our plan may be advanced."

The original plan was to stabilize slowly, and then deal with the issue of the northern border. When Qin Ji was in a stalemate with the army in Samanjiang, he sent out several memorials, most of which were related to the northern border. All kinds of information, and judging from the news sent from these distant places, most of them are still reliable.

Now, he has almost mastered the Saar Dynasty, and there is a person in his family who can declare war on the Saar Dynasty at any time. Daxia doesn't need to do it himself at all, just let Wuheya go up and solve it by himself.

"You're trying to use me to take the throne now, aren't you?"

When Wuheya said this, her tone was very flat. She had expected such a fate a long time ago. Rather, she was planning to use this method to try to fulfill her childhood dream.

"Yes, I have discussed it with His Majesty. As far as Daxia is concerned, helping you win the throne at present is beneficial to both of us."

Qin Ji did not avoid this topic.

"So you see, the result is still like this in the end. Why did you stick to that bottom line?" Wuheya sighed, and then continued to ask: "When are you going to start?"

"It will take some time to prepare... If you want to have the strength to return to your country, you must have at least one army that you can use, but I think, at this time, you are in Sa There should not be many people in the Er Dynasty who can help."

This is true. Wuheya was not the type with a particularly good network in Thrall, so naturally there were not many willing to help, let alone form his own team.

Just when the two of them were about to discuss this topic, suddenly, Lingyan's voice appeared beside his ears:

"Young master, a messenger sent a message from outside just now, saying that it is for you, and it involves military affairs."

Hearing the military situation, Qin Ji frowned.

In this situation, what kind of military situation can there be?

"Give me the letter."

Qin Ji said, Lingyan immediately handed over the letter he had just received to Qin Ji.

Looking at the mark on the cover, Qin Ji couldn't help but feel a little tricky.

This is a letter marked with an urgent military situation.

He opened the letter and looked carefully at the words on the letter. Wuheya was beside him, and he knew that it was classified and could not be read by an outsider like her.

So she chose to stay a little further away, expressing that she did not intend to pry into this secret.

Qin Ji saw it from beginning to end.In the end it was ironic.

The reason why I can't laugh is because the situation described on this piece of paper is too embarrassing.

"The Saar Dynasty has recently begun to mobilize, and has privately occupied some areas of Kalashage without permission. At present, the Solqin tribe has asked our country for help, hoping that our country can guarantee its territory."

The news itself is not funny, it is the Saar dynasty that is funny.

They are really crazy, right? Leaving aside the economics, you ran over to tease Daxia's surroundings again. What's the matter, do you think you didn't die fast enough?

Chapter 70 Personal Love and Business

To be honest, Qin Ji can completely understand the thoughts of these guys.

The rulers of the Thrall Dynasty were originally the type who advocated the death war. It is simply an extravagant hope to have a guy who seeks peace among them. After dealing with them for so long, this kind of front foot and you bow your head and then immediately reorganize the army and prepare to fight with them. Your tough behavior is nothing short of commonplace.

Their idea is actually very simple - anyway, they are not a civilization based on agriculture and industry, they have no fixed location, and all the people have certain combat capabilities, while the territory of the Saar Dynasty in the north is flat and wide.Daxia's army rarely pursues deeply even if they pursue it. If they pursue deeply, they must spend enough financial, material and military resources to achieve sufficient results.

Therefore, if they wanted a place like Kalashige, they would go and grab it. After Daxia came to ask for it, they would decide whether to return it or not depending on the situation.If Daxia doesn't give a satisfactory price, then continue to occupy it. When Daxia sends troops to grab it, it will be the best fight ever.

There is really no big problem with their approach, and there is a lot of room for manipulation.But this time, Qin Ji was not going to simply rely on troops to conquer this capricious country.

And it seems that whether it is Brother Ban or the old king, it seems that no one takes Wuheya, the princess of a country, seriously.

One of the reasons why Daxia asked the Saar people to provide protons was to prevent the other party from changing their minds. This proton could be used as a bargaining chip.This kind of thing can be guessed by Thrall's high-level executives no matter how low their IQ is.And knowing that Wuheya was still Daxia's proton, he unilaterally violated the agreement without saying hello to Daxia...

It really brought the role of abandonment to the extreme.

Qin Ji pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Do you want to see it?"

Wu Heya watched Qin Ji's expression change, and she probably guessed something.

"Let me guess... it won't be my brother who declared war on Daxia again?"

she asked tentatively.

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news," Qin Ji looked at the other party mockingly, "The good news is that the Saar Dynasty did not declare war on Bactria, nor did they invade Bactria; the bad news is that you directly occupied Kara Shige."

Wuheya's breathing stagnated.

One piece of good news and one piece of bad news, but actually...it's no different than bad news.

One of the characteristics of Daxia is that they will indeed accept subjects as vassals, such as the subjects of the Suolqin tribe.However, once they have made a promise to their vassals, they will not easily break their promise as long as there is no situation where they can't get out.

Before that, the Suolqin tribe had already received a promise of protection from Daxia, and this land was also conferred by Daxia.The Saar dynasty forcibly occupied Suo Leqin's territory, which was enough to be regarded by Daxia as a declaration of war and provocation against Daxia.

"Qin Ji, you..."

Wuheya knew that it was useless to say what she said now, this was a matter between countries, not something that could be influenced by personal feelings, but at least, she still wanted to fight for it.

Qin Ji raised his hand to stop what she was going to say: "I know what you are going to say, Wuheya. The reason why your leaders dare to initiate such a move at this time is because people on your side think that Daxia just After the war in the west, the north has no time to take care of it. This judgment is indeed correct."

"Wuheya, the behavior of your country is really disgusting - if it was in the past, it would definitely be attacked by our army. But now,"

He paused for a moment, as if he was urging himself to be cruel, and walked up to Wuheya, then squatted down and looked into the other person's eyes:

"I'll give you a way to solve the problem without shedding as much blood as possible. You can choose, either take the method I gave you back to China and execute it, or..."

Speaking of this, his eyes fluctuated a little: "I can save your life, and you can hide your name in the future, and you can go wherever you want. But, don't go back to your hometown—you probably won't see you in the future. You have someone of the same blood."

This is an unabashed threat.

It’s not that you’re being harsh and relentless. If Daxia is really serious today, it’s still possible to launch a battle with a scale of tens of thousands of people—although it will hurt muscles and bones, but if these hundreds of thousands of troops are really mobilized, The so-called iron cavalry that the Saar Dynasty is proud of, it may be difficult to even slow down its offensive edge.

And when that time came, Qin Ji was not going to continue with the peaceful way he had originally planned.

If peace cannot be exchanged for peace, then we can only go to the other extreme.This was the conclusion he reached after thorough consideration. When he reached this conclusion, even he himself was surprised by the cruelty of this idea.

But comprehensive consideration, if the Saar dynasty continues like this, if it is not completely resolved, then similar things will happen again and again in the future, which is not a good thing.

In this world, the original world is not a panacea. Here, in the war between countries, massacring cities is even a very common method of war. You seek peace with the enemy, but the enemy captures one of your cities After that, they will actually kill the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Daxia has given the other party countless opportunities for peace.
