In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Ze, who transmigrated and became the son of the Tiger Might General, was cast aside by the Empress after she used him, stripped of his military power, and enfeoffed t...
The sky was blazing with light, and a fierce wind raged as severed heads rolled down the execution ground, landing with a thud on the ground.
The people cheered excitedly, while the foreigners kneeling on the ground stared wide-eyed at the horrifying head of the man, their faces showing expressions of terror.
They clearly understood that, unlike the emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty, the ruler of Yan Kingdom before them was tough enough!
At that moment, Qin Ze picked up the document and tore it to shreds in front of everyone. The wind was strong enough that the document, which symbolized "the loss of sovereignty and national humiliation," turned into fragments and was blown away by the gale.
Qin Ze said in a loud voice, "These foreigners who have come to my Yan Kingdom come from different countries. Since they have already revealed their ambitions towards us, we must retaliate!"
“They wrote in the treaty that they wanted our land and our silver, so we will give them a taste of their own medicine!”
At this point, Qin Ze looked at the foreigners kneeling on the ground and then said coldly:
"These arrogant and domineering bandits have been captured. If they want to live, their countries will have to pay ransom! How much they want is up to us!"
Then, he turned to look at the people:
"You've been sent money and grain; it's all yours! We want the people of my Yan Kingdom to become prosperous!"
"If they don't agree, then cut off their heads first! Then I'll lead a large army to their country and demand payment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.
"Okay, okay!!"
Qin Ze continued, "We'll fight the war! But our country needs you to make it prosperous!"
"Today, the corrupt and rotten Jin family is still hiding in Nanze. On the road to prosperity and strength for our Yan Kingdom, these people who prey on the people and sell out their country for personal gain must be eliminated! Our Yan Kingdom must never again experience internal strife!"
"For this, I need your full support! We must unite, and everyone must work together as one!"
"And I will fight my whole life to lead you to a prosperous and strong nation!"
After he finished speaking, the people below the stage knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "Stand up! You are the true masters of this land!"
Upon hearing this, the cheers from the audience grew even louder.
Amidst cheers, Qin Ze walked solemnly off the stage.
The next step is to eliminate the remnants of the Jin clan and make the Yan Kingdom a truly unified entity! At the same time, we must also face the impending crisis; those foreign nations will never give up their ambition to seize the Yan Kingdom.
Although there are not many foreigners in Nangang now, most of them hold high positions and great power. Obviously, these people are the vanguard, and their army will arrive in Yan Kingdom soon.
These foreigners were so arrogant and conceited that Qin Ze knew they would never back down unless he dealt them a severe blow, which meant he would have to fight them. But Qin Ze had never worried about fighting.
Now there are already a thousand warships in Nangang, and I have accumulated a lot more points. Next, I just need to keep summoning troops, fight them one by one, fight them ten by ten, and beat them until they are too weak to fight anymore.
Fighting us is tantamount to courting death.
During his previous conversation with Heiner, Qin Ze had already learned a lot about foreign affairs, and he was no longer completely ignorant about those foreign countries.
Powerful nations such as the Sasiri Kingdom, the Delta Federation, the Hunli Kingdom, and the Shenglu Kingdom are now expanding outwards on a large scale.
They not only plundered resources from weaker nations, but also assembled fleets to embark on voyages to explore unknown continents and acquire any resources they needed, thereby making their own countries stronger.
As it turns out, outside of Yan Kingdom, these countries, large and small, are all engaged in fierce competition, using every means to become the strongest.
Small countries that are powerless to resist will eventually become prey for those large countries. Once the lifeline of a country is controlled by a large country, these small countries will be forever subject to others in the years to come, either being destroyed or becoming slaves of those large countries.
Although these major powers appear to be on good terms with each other, they are actually in a competitive relationship and will inevitably clash when their interests are at stake.
Heiner once said that the two kingdoms of Shenglu and Hunli, which are located on the continent of Leon, had been fighting fiercely for several years, and their people had been hostile to each other for many years. Only in recent years have they gradually eased their tensions.
The reason for this is that a common interest has emerged among them: the Yan Kingdom.
When these countries share common interests, they will tacitly band together, collude, and launch a plundering campaign.
The countries on the continent of Leon discovered that Yan Kingdom was a vast and resource-rich land, a piece of meat that many people could enjoy, and thus, like flies, they came attracted by the scent.
Of course, the larger countries would naturally get the lion's share, while the smaller countries following behind would also get a share of the scraps, such as the Kingdom of Mordenic, which had advanced brewing technology.
Qin Ze understood very well that in this era, although Yan Kingdom had a vast territory and a large population, being closed off and content with its limited territory would undoubtedly only harm itself.
When everyone is competing, the Yan Kingdom, which has stood here for thousands of years, naturally has to keep pace. Compared to the other countries on the Leon Continent, the Yan Kingdom is a unified entity. As long as there is no internal turmoil and the people are united, it can unleash power far exceeding that of others.
Nowadays, the development of those foreign countries is not bad, and in some aspects they have even surpassed Yan Kingdom.
Qin Ze truly understood that although he had the system's help, his lifespan was only a hundred years. There seemed to be no elixir of immortality in the world. Now that he possessed the power to make the country prosperous and strong, he should do more in his limited life.
Rather than passively taking a beating, it's better to take the initiative, fight across thousands of miles, raid passes and defeat generals; his goal is exceptionally clear:
That means going to those foreign countries! And dealing with them "if they are polite, befriend them; if they are rude, fight them!"
Since they all want to seize the Yan Kingdom, then let's do the opposite!
By gathering the strength of all nations, let us usher in a peaceful and prosperous era for the Yan Kingdom, bringing blessings to future generations!
Of course, to achieve all this, the first priority is to unify the Yan Kingdom and then rebuild its national prestige. First, let these foreign nations taste the iron fist of the Yan Kingdom. In this way, those sensible countries will establish diplomatic relations with you, just like Heiner, who greeted Qin Ze with a smile and offered him Gels wine as soon as he saw him.
As for those countries that remain arrogant and unreasonable, we can only strike them repeatedly until they wail and cry in pain.
At this moment, Qin Ze, who had already walked up to the foreigners, had a gloomy expression.
"Now tell me, when will your fleet arrive?"
"I'm already quite impatient," he said, looking at the foreigners who were sweating profusely and trembling.
