Chapter 784: Glory

"Conquer Liaodong, save Vice Minister Liu!"

"Conquer Liaodong, save Vice Minister Liu!"

No one expected this.

The disappearance of Vice Minister Liu had such a massive impact on Longyan.

Whether they were students, scholars, merchants, artisans, or farmers.

One after another, they poured into the streets.

One after another, they began to raise their arms and shout.

There were even some civilian organizations that spontaneously began to raise troops and Weaponry and Equipment to set off for Liaodong.

It was chaos.

Many places were in chaos.

At first, the Feudatory Kings in various regions strictly blocked these people, fearing they would stir up trouble.

But after several intense confrontations, the imperial court discovered it was impossible to quell the anger of these people, so they could only issue an order for the Feudatory King mansions in all regions to stop blocking them and instead help maintain order, providing some assistance if necessary.

His heart was filled with both joy and worry.

The joy was that, for the first time in who knows how many years, Longyan had shown such cohesion and centripetal force. This was something he had always dreamed of; as long as a country had such cohesion and centripetal force, what could not be accomplished? What place could not be conquered?

Xie Tianyao also did not expect such a situation.

A mere Vice Minister Liu actually had so many supporters across the country.

The Crown Prince, Xie Fang, had been stupidly abducted again.

Xie Ming was still young.

What worried him was

The only son he could somewhat show off, Xie Ling, was dead.

Xie Tianyao smiled helplessly.

Regardless of how one put it

Under such circumstances, was it a good thing or a bad thing that Vice Minister Liu had such popularity?

What he was fortunate about was

Xie Tianyao sighed deeply.

How he wished he could live another five hundred years.

Xie Chan was his daughter after all, but he feared his daughter would be firmly held in the palm of this Vice Minister Liu; what would the surname of this Longyan Dynasty be then?

It was agonizing.

What is the glory of a country?

Ling Chen did not know.

How he wished to see if this Longyan could truly move toward glory under the leadership of Vice Minister Liu.

When he arrived in Central Asia with an army of three hundred thousand, and after the Western Regions were occupied by others, when he was homeless, he had actually thought about founding a nation there—at that time, he already controlled the entire Indian Continent.

But later he discovered.

But what he did know was that he did not need to know these things.

Yes.

It was fortunate that the Young Master provided timely guidance at this moment.

The entire South Asia Subcontinent was straightened out all at once.

He was not cut out for this.

He was overwhelmed and almost played in circles by these governors of India.

At this moment, however, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Just a few days ago they were getting along famously, calling each other brothers, and in the blink of an eye, they were bringing the Khiva Khanate and the Putu Kingdom to attack him?

The industrial aid from Liangzhou was already on the way, and the governors of India had long been looking forward to the economic takeoff of the Indian Continent.

And the Kokand Khanate.

But one succeeds because of being clever, and fails because of being clever.

Being too clever is just being two-faced.

Alimu felt like he could cry.

The Kokand Khanate itself was not large; the Kokand Khanate and the Khiva Khanate had separated from the previous Bukhara and developed slowly thereafter. When the three were standing in a tripod formation, the Kokand Khanate was the weakest, yet it was the most active. The Kokand Khanate first sought help from the Longyan Dynasty, then played intimately with the Putu Dynasty; this display of being all things to all people was quite a spectacle.

Who should be attacked next?

Naturally, it was you, the villain, the Kokand Khanate!

Such a diplomatic policy was actually held in contempt by many.

When there were benefits, other countries naturally allowed its existence. But now in Central Asia, the powerful Bukhara had perished, and the even more powerful Mughal had changed hands. The Putu Dynasty had already entered into deep cooperation with Longyan.

The Putu Dynasty naturally would not lag behind, directly dispatching two hundred thousand troops.

A total of six hundred and fifty thousand!

Therefore.

When Ling Chen's three hundred thousand troops set out, the Khiva Khanate also became excited, following with an army of one hundred and fifty thousand, and also began to march east.

He began to propagate Ling Chen's ambition, claiming his goal was to unify the entire West Asia and Central Asia! If his Kokand Khanate were destroyed at this time, wouldn't it be the turn of the Khiva Khanate next?

This kind of threat theory, when it first appeared, still had a market.

When Alimu learned of this news, he was completely stunned.

Who could withstand this?

At this moment.

He represented the Longyan East India Company; it was a company, not the imperial court, and certainly not the military!

But it was quickly crushed by Ling Chen.

He stated directly that even on the Indian Continent, he had not carried out forceful suppression against local military groups; what he sought was cooperation, cooperation!

At this, everyone who heard it felt relieved.

Of course.

Since it was a company, it was here to engage in commerce, or industry.

In other words, our company will not pose any threat to or change your administrative management!

What are we waiting for?

Attack!

Ling Chen had to make his words sound pleasant; as for what would happen later, that could only be decided when the time came—acting according to circumstances, right?

Upon hearing this, the Khiva Khanate was immediately overjoyed.

Its territory was small to begin with, and its military strength was meager; even the Kokand Khanate, which had gained many benefits in this division of the cake, could not withstand the attack of these 650,000 troops under any circumstances.

Like walking on flat ground.

The recently pacified Central Asia was once again engulfed in the flames of war.

It was almost like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Seeing this situation, Alimu gathered some wealth overnight and fled from Caspian Port.

With this move, Ling Chen was practically able to walk through Central Asia unimpeded.

City after city, town after town.

They opened their gates and surrendered before the fighting even began.

Glory.

Ling Chen suddenly thought of these two words again.

The sky over Central Asia had changed.

Next came the negotiations between the East India Company and these bigwigs.

Did this glory belong to Longyan, or to the Young Master?

Glory forged in the name of such a company was perhaps a new form of glory.

He was thinking.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

This glory.

Should belong to the Young Master, because he, he should be Longyan.
