Chapter 255: Non-stop Food
Chapter 255: Non-stop Food
"Renegotiate? Do you think that's possible?"
Ning Quan sneered when he heard this.
"Your Highness, Ninth Prince, my demands are not high. Just leave 30% of the wealth to me and the other nobles, and allow us to move to Daqian with our families and settle there."
"If you still don't agree, then we'll both be in trouble."
Tubaru gritted his teeth.
"Leave 30%?"
Ning Quan was stunned for a moment.
“Yes, 30%.”
"All other things remaining equal."
Tubaru affirmed.
"Are you sure you have the final say on the other terms?"
"I mean the migration of the tribes? Don't let them turn against you once you announce it."
"No, the warriors from all tribes are in the royal court. I will order them to surrender immediately."
"As long as they are in the hands of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, no tribe will dare to disobey."
Tubaru said with certainty.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Ning Quan thought about it and agreed.
It would be best if we could win without fighting.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Tubaru breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Baturu returned to the front and ordered the entire army to dismount and lay down their weapons.
Ning Quan immediately arranged for people to deal with the prisoners and led a large army to enter the Khitan royal court.
Baturu and a group of nobles handed over 70% of their wealth and moved out of the Khitan royal court with their families that same day.
Ning Quan then sent someone to summon the leaders of the various Khitan tribes, ordering them to arrive at the royal court within five days for discussions.
The leaders of each tribe had no choice but to obey Ning Quan's orders, because the warriors of their tribes were all in Ning Quan's hands.
If the tribe loses its men, it is finished.
..........
Five days later, the leaders of various tribes arrived at the royal court and expressed their submission to Ning Quan.
According to the previous arrangements, Ning Quan issued migration orders to each tribe.
Of the more than 30 Khitan tribes, one third migrated to the Western Xiongnu, one third migrated to the Eastern Xiongnu, and the rest merged with the remaining Shiwei tribes.
At the same time, Ning Quan ordered ten tribes from each of the Eastern and Western Xiongnu to migrate to the territories of Shiwei and Khitan.
In this way, the entire Khitan and Shiwei were completely disrupted.
By the way, it also divided the Eastern and Western Xiongnu, and they were no longer a single tribal settlement.
At this point, Ning Quan had completely controlled the Xiongnu, Khitan and Shiwei, bringing them under his jurisdiction and completely resolving the worries in the north and east.
Today, the territory controlled by Ningquan has reached three million square miles, which has exceeded the territory of Daqian.
After everything was settled, Ning Quan kept Bai Qi.
Bai Qi was in charge of all affairs of the Shiwei and Khitan, and then led the army back.
...........
Half a month later.
The news that Shiwei and Khitan were successively destroyed reached Daqian.
"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is truly amazing."
"First it was the Xiongnu, then the Shiwei, and now even the Khitan have been destroyed by the Ninth Prince. This is a precursor to unifying the world."
"I think the Ninth Prince will eventually unify the country. I just wonder what Your Majesty would think."
"Do you think that one day, His Majesty and the Ninth Prince will come to blows?"
"Hehe, that's hard to say. After all, there are conflicts between father and son..."
.......
Whether in the court or among the people, there were all kinds of discussions.
Ning Quan's performance was so strong that he was unstoppable.
Listening to the discussions of the ministers, Ning Yuanwu's face in the hall was terribly gloomy.
His heart was filled with anger
The joy brought by the prince's recovery of Huainan the day before was gone, replaced by deep hatred and a hint of loss.
Ning Quan's performance was certainly outstanding, but the more outstanding he was, the more Ning Yuanwu felt lost.
Sometimes he would think, how nice it would be if Ning Quan didn’t have bloodline from the previous dynasty.
Then there won’t be these problems.
He could even pass the throne to him.
But unfortunately... there is no if.
Now his son has grown to be as strong as him, or even stronger than him, and will definitely become his enemy in the future.
"**, you have been in charge of all the government affairs of the court these days. I have been feeling unwell these days and need to recuperate well." Ning Yuanwu suddenly felt very tired.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Li Junchen bowed quickly.
"Okay, retreat!"
After saying this, Ning Yuanwu walked out of the hall.
Li Junchen looked at Ning Yuanwu's departing back, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
There is no doubt that his relationship with His Majesty is beyond doubt. His Majesty came to power precisely because of his full support.
Now, seeing His Majesty getting older, he felt quite uncomfortable.
But what can he do? Some things are beyond his control.
"Hey~~~~"
Li Junchen sighed lightly and turned to leave.
.............
A month later, Ning Quan returned to Xizhou with his army.
After returning, Ning Quan immediately set off for Tamsui.
This expedition almost consumed all of Ningquan’s food reserves, and Ningquan had to get another batch of food as soon as possible.
If you want to get food, space alone is not enough, you must use large ships.
The three-wheeled motorcycle was very fast, and Ning Quan arrived in Tamsui three days later.
At this time, Tamsui, and even the entire Ryukyu, was completely new.
The originally barren area has been reclaimed into farmland.
Several important cities were expanded, roads between cities were built, port trade became increasingly prosperous, and cargo ships were constantly coming and going at the docks.
In the shipyard, cargo ships and warships are being built.
I have to say that Zhou Yu was quite capable, as he was able to build Ryukyu so well in less than two years.
Ning Quan circled over the port and then flew straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, Zhou Yu had just returned from outside.
"I have met His Highness."
Seeing Ning Quan's sudden arrival, Zhou Yu hurriedly saluted.
"No need for formalities. I'm here because of the food issue. I plan to take the big ship away."
Ning Quan waved his hand and said.
"Where are you going to get food, Your Highness?"
"I am going to the Mughal Empire. I stopped at Chittagong last time and found that there is plenty of food there."
"We're likely to fight this time, so you need to prepare at least 5,000 soldiers for me."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Not to mention five thousand, even ten thousand won't be a problem."
Zhou Yu patted his chest and promised.
"That would be the best. Also, give me some crew members so that we can use them in case we rob the ship." Ning Quan ordered.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"Well, go ahead and arrange it within two days."
"I will go to the backyard to rest first. We can discuss other matters in the evening."
"Yes, I will retire at the end."
Zhou Yu bowed and left.
.........
After Zhou Yu left, Ning Quan came to the backyard.
The backyard has always been empty, and Zhou Yu used it as Ning Quan's residence when he came to Tamsui.
Normally, no one is allowed to step into the backyard except servants and maids.
"This servant has greeted His Highness."
More than a dozen maids and servants bowed.
"Get up."
"I am tired. You all can leave. There is no need to serve me." Ning Quan ordered.
"Here!"
The servants and maids responded and quickly retreated.
