The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

It was spring again. In Degao Town, Qingzhou County, Lin Xiaofan was teaching Liu Shishi swordsmanship in the small courtyard.

Next to her was Chen Xue holding a little girl, who was Lin Mengfei, who was already eight years old.

There was a little boy beside him, holding a small wooden gun, swinging it from time to time to the rhythm of Fengsheng. However, he fell to the ground after swinging it twice because he was still walking unsteadily.

The little boy was very stubborn. He immediately got up and continued waving his gun.

"Fengsheng, let's take a break."

Lin Xiaofan smiled. The little boy's name was Lin Chang, Fengsheng's child, and he was already two years old.

"He doesn't want to."

Fengsheng touched Lin Chang's head. This child has his own temperament and is very stubborn.

"Xiao Chang, go see if the meal is ready."

Lin Xiaofan said.

"it is good."

When Lin Chang heard that there was food to eat, his eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and then ran out happily.

Fengsheng hurried to catch up, fearing that he would fall.

While they were playing, the door of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and Duanmu Liangjiang walked in wearing a suit of armor.

"Brother Lin, I'm from the capital, urgent news."

He handed over a letter.

"problem occurs?"

Lin Xiaofan murmured.

"Time flies by so fast. How many years has it been?"

"Five years."

Duanmu Liangjiang replied.

Five years have passed since the battle of Daliang.

After the battle, the Nanlong and Jiashan states returned the four counties of Daliang.

Perhaps it was for the life of Prince Zhong Chen, or perhaps he was afraid of Daqian.

Since then, Daqian has not launched any war again, but its development speed has not slowed down at all.

Now more than one million people from Dashan have fled to Daqian to settle down. You have to know that Dashan only has two million people in total, and more than half of them have fled here in a flash.

The Great Shang Emperor was completely anxious, and could not sleep every night because of worry. But he could not control the noble families in the country, and he had no way to deal with the departure of these people.

He also thought about turning against Daqian, but Dashang simply did not have the capital to do so.

Countless people from Nanlong, Jiashan and many small countries around them also came to Daqian. In response, Daqian said that it would not refuse anyone and would send troops to the border to pick up those people.

As long as the people are willing and are received by Daqian's troops, they will be Daqian's people. Other countries are not allowed to interfere. If they force their way in, then we will fight.

Anyway, Daqian hasn’t lost a war for a long time.

In response to this, countries have strictly controlled their borders and tried to minimize the outflow of people, so the impact was not particularly large and no trouble occurred.

But after five years of accumulation, Daqian's population has expanded from more than two million to nearly seven million.

Zhao Zihan had also grown up, and after his coming-of-age ceremony, he vowed to accomplish great things.

Over the years, he had been lobbying around Daqian, and without any soldiers, he had obtained 17 counties for Daqian. Including the nine counties of Daliang, Daqian now had 20 counties.

The number of troops was as high as 250,000, and most of the soldiers were equipped with armor made of fine iron, and there were also countless weapons such as crossbows, catapults, etc.

Now, even if we were to confront the Tianlang Kingdom head-on, we might still be able to fight.

Over the years, Tianlang Country has also become obedient. As for the reason, it is mainly due to the dual pressure from Daqi and Datang.

With the support of Daqian in terms of weapons, Daqi was no longer as hard-pressed to fight against Tianlang. Datang found the way from Longhu Mountain Range to Tianlang and also sent troops to attack Tianlang.

Due to the long distance, the Tang Dynasty's fighting style was different from usual. The army carried out guerrilla warfare everywhere and caused destruction within the territory of Tianlang.

Unfortunately, Tianlang's main forces were all tied up in Da Qi, so they didn't have much to do with Datang.

A few days ago, he heard that the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the chaos to capture two cities of Tianlang. Although these cities could not be defended for long and had to be sent back, this also showed a problem that the Tianlang Kingdom was beginning to feel exhausted.

Daqian has developed steadily through trade with the two countries. Today, the country is prosperous, the people are wealthy, and the army is strong.

Lin Xiaofan’s thoughts returned to the letter.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has died. Return to the capital as soon as possible."

After hearing these eight short words, Lin Xiaofan's eyes widened.

How can it be?

If he remembered correctly, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was only forty-five years old this year!

Why did he die suddenly in the prime of life?

Lin Xiaofan took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down, his thoughts drifting away.

The death of the Tang emperor will bring chaos to the world. And this time, it may be much more serious than before.

In the past, battles between countries were all aimed at depleting each other’s national strength or capturing cities, and that was all. But this time it was different.

In recent years, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty has obtained a large number of weapons such as Lei Zhenzi and Liannu, which makes him too powerful.

In the north, General Fan Yong almost wiped out the Xiongnu. In the next ten years or so, the Xiongnu might not be able to become a force to be reckoned with.

In the west, the Tang Emperor placed Crown Prince Li Zhao in the military camp.

He wanted to train Li Zhao to become Emperor Wu, and Li Zhao himself was also very capable, both in killing enemies on the battlefield and in commanding operations.

Many generals in the army admired Li Zhao very much.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty no longer had to worry about military generals taking power, so he let them fight as they pleased.

Most of these generals were promoted by Sun Wufeng and were instructed by him. Sun Wufeng was a top-notch general in the world. His ability surpassed that of several other generations. He raised the Tang Dynasty, a medium-sized country, to one of the four great powers in just a hundred years.

The abilities of these generals were far beyond what the Tianwu Kingdom could match. After several battles, they defeated the Tianwu Kingdom and lost a full one-third of its land.

While the Tang Dynasty was attacking Tianwu in the east, it also sent troops to cause trouble for the Tianlang Kingdom from time to time, causing great trouble for the Tianlang Kingdom in transporting food and supporting the army.

At this rate, within twenty years, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to destroy the Tianwu Kingdom. If the Qi Kingdom and the Tianlang Kingdom insist on fighting like this, it is not impossible for the Tang Dynasty to become one world.

But at this critical moment, the Emperor of Tang died.

Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty died, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was not weakened at all. Moreover, the Crown Prince Li Zhao was already an adult. Although his ability was slightly inferior to that of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he had a very high prestige in the army. With the support of most of the generals in charge of the army, he would definitely be able to sit firmly on the throne.

In less than three years, the Tang Dynasty will be able to continue its conquests, and it is only a matter of time before Tianwu is destroyed.

Therefore, this is the only chance for Tianwu Kingdom. At that time, Tianwu Kingdom will definitely mobilize its troops against Datang with all its strength, even though the hope is slim.

The Tianwu Kingdom alone could not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty. But on the side, there was also the Tianlang Kingdom, which was eyeing them covetously, and the Daqi Kingdom.

As the four major countries, none of them is submissive to the other, and everyone hopes to unify the world.

If they allow the Tang Dynasty to destroy Tianwu and become the only dominant power, their hopes will become slim.

Moreover, the wars between the two countries in recent years have resulted in heavy casualties. In contrast, although the Tang Dynasty has fought wars, its losses are not great.

The two countries might continue to fight regardless. Or they might temporarily stop fighting and attack the Tang Dynasty at the same time. Or even... destroy the Tang Dynasty.

The threat posed by the Tang Dynasty was simply too great. It had a large number of soldiers and generals, as well as a powerful ally, Daqian.

It would be great if we could destroy it.
