Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge
Chapter 380 Saleh's Armed Forces
Seeing Xiao Ce say this, Yun Qing Urgen's expression softened considerably.
"Then I'm relieved! Besides, Your Highness, with you here... dealing with those Slavs will be as easy as slicing melons and chopping vegetables!"
After listening to Yun Qing Urgen's words, Xiao Ce laughed and said, "Stop bragging. Besides, I don't have time to wait here for those Slavic people to arrive..."
When Yun Qing Urgen heard Xiao Ce say this, he asked in surprise, "Your Highness, are you really going to India?"
As Xiao Ce had mentioned before, Yun Qing Urgen had indeed not taken it seriously at first.
They thought Xiao Ce was just asking around, but now they heard him say this.
It's quite obvious that they really want to go.
Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Of course, do you think I'm joking?"
Yun Qing.Urgen said, "Your Highness, perhaps you should reconsider. Whatever you need to know, or whom you wish to see... I can find a way to get it for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ce interrupted, "I need to meet with those foreigners behind India. Can you get them?"
Yunqing Urgen said awkwardly, "Your Highness, this really won't do."
Xiao Ce said to Yun Qing Urgen, "Alright, you should worry about yourself. I asked you to prepare the caravan for me before, have you prepared it yet?"
Yunqing Urgen nodded: "Anytime, anywhere, caravans of all sizes are fine! What do you want to sell?"
Xiao Ce said, "What kind of product is the most popular in India?"
Yunqing Urgen didn't need to say a word about these things!
The answer can be given directly.
"It's naturally divine wine!"
Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised, since the distilled spirits he made were not very suitable for foreigners' tastes.
They may not be used to drinking it.
Later, after listening to Yunqing Urgen's explanation, I understood.
Because of the foreigners' different production processes, they don't have strong liquor, so strong liquor is very popular here.
Moreover, the packaging of this "divine wine" was successful, coupled with its limited production.
Therefore, they are more interested in drinking something of value...
This divine wine is limited in quantity, so Xiao Ce should prepare more if he wants to.
Once you get there, you'll definitely be a hot commodity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ce asked Yun Qing.Urgen, "How many jars of that Immortal Wine do you have in stock here?"
Yunqing Urgen said, "One hundred jars in total!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ce interrupted, "Then go and prepare everything, and pack it all up!"
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yun Qing Urgen's face immediately turned green!
"What? You don't want to?!"
Yunqing Urgen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No...no...it's not that I'm unwilling."
“However, Your Highness, we sell wine by the bottle! One jar of wine can hold a hundred bottles! Our merchants only take fifty bottles at a time! If you take a hundred jars, that would be ten thousand jars! I'm afraid that this quantity will disrupt their market!”
"If you were representing someone, ten jars, that's a thousand bottles. That would definitely cause a sensation! It wouldn't be a bad idea to attract foreigners to come and negotiate!"
Hearing Yun Qing.Urgen's words, he smiled and said, "Just one hundred jars! This marketing strategy is the one I taught you... I know how to do it! You're just reluctant to part with them, aren't you?"
Yun Qing.Urgen didn't deny it: "Hehe, Your Highness! You're right... I really am a little reluctant to part with these divine wines. They're more valuable than gold! Whenever we need money, we can just sell a jar to solve our immediate problem... So, I only managed to get these wines after much pleading and cajoling with the Princess! Consider them our strategic reserve!"
After listening, Xiao Ce finally understood: "So this counts as me borrowing from you! I'll write you an IOU another day, lending you one hundred jars and returning two hundred jars, how about that?"
Yun Qing.Urgen, no wonder he came from a merchant background, saw Xiao Ce say this and his eyes lit up, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his ears.
"Alright! Alright! That's perfect! Your Highness, is one hundred jars enough? If not, I can always try to get some more from the merchants in the Turkic Kingdom!"
Seeing Yun Qing's shrewd businessman-like face, he then smiled and waved his hand, saying it wasn't necessary.
"Your Highness, are you going to meet those foreigners? Are you going to do some business?"
As he spoke, Yun Qing Urgen asked with a surprised look.
Xiao Ce raised an eyebrow, a sly look in his eyes.
"That's about right!"
Seeing that Xiao Ce was unwilling to say more, Yun Qing Urgen also wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
For the next few days, Xiao Ce stayed here to prepare for his trip to India.
The wine in those jars is to be repackaged.
Yunqing Urgen introduced Xiao Ce to a man from India named Sangye.
Sanjay was covered in dark brown fur and looked dirty. However, his eyes were very bright and deep.
This person is incredibly cunning.
"Greetings, Your Highness, King of the Northern Desert!"
After looking at Xiao Ce, Sanjie immediately bowed and knelt down.
He performed a grand salute.
Xiao Ce looked at Yun Qing Urgen with some confusion.
Because Xiao Ce had told him that his identity should be kept secret from these Indians.
Although some special forces soldiers will be taken along, it's still best to be on the safe side.
Yun Qing.Urgen understood Xiao Ce's concerns with just one glance.
“Your Highness, this Sangye is one of my men, the kind of person I can absolutely trust. Although he is from India, his wife, children, parents, and family are all in the Turkic Kingdom.”
"Telling him your identity is also to prevent him from causing any trouble... Besides, even if Hu Yidao and Mr. Da Lei are there after you go to India, you won't be able to communicate with them! And we look like people from Xiao Kingdom. It's more appropriate to let Sangjie handle many things!"
Listening to Yunqing Urgen's explanation.
Xiao Ce suddenly realized what was happening.
"Alright, get up!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ce asked, "By the way, do the people of Tianzhu recognize my appearance?"
Yun Qing.Urgen nodded: "Your Highness, that's for sure! Although the Princess Consort is 'promoting' you like crazy within the Northern Desert Prince's Mansion, she has also established rules that your things are not allowed to circulate outside! The Princess Consort has even set up special laws for this purpose. So, you don't need to worry about anyone recognizing you when you go to India!"
Before Xiao Ce could respond, Yun Qing Urgen suddenly remembered something and added, "Of course, Your Highness! In Tianzhu Kingdom, there are still some merchants from the Northern Desert Royal Palace... They will definitely recognize you."
Xiao Ce nodded and said, "No problem!"
Sangjie said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, rest assured. I will definitely serve you well on this trip!"
Xiao Ce nodded with a smile.
The next day, Xiao Ce arrived early with Boudica and Gulimiza.
Hu Yidao, Da Lei, and fifty special forces soldiers, all fully armed, set off.
Xiao Ce originally intended to ride 'Iron Egg'.
However, I also thought that 'Iron Egg' was just too imposing and really too eye-catching.
So, he still didn't bring 'Iron Egg' with him.
Just as Xiao Ce was heading to India, the Slavic countries had already made their decision.
Under Shahar's intervention.
They also included the 50,000 troops sent by the arms oligarchs, including Constantine Eugene.
This army belongs to Constantine Eugene's private army.
They had also negotiated with Nikolayevich Shahar before setting off.
All the territory they conquer will belong to the Constantine family.
Nikolayevich Shahar readily agreed.
As for sending only 50,000 troops, it was a general under Constantine Eugene.
It was proposed by Saleh Ali.
Saleh Ali was a renowned general throughout the Slavic Empire.
His greatest strength is winning with fewer troops.
Within the Slavic Empire, his record was 99% victory.
The only few defeats were due to the overwhelming disparity in strength between the two sides...
He is famous not only for his personal name, but also for the Saleh Army he trained.
The soldiers in Saleh's army were extremely fierce and ruthless...
They don't need prisoners; as long as you fight them, there's only one outcome: death!
What's even more terrifying is that this exceptionally powerful Saleh army was subdued by Constantine Eugene.
Constantine Eugene, in the long history of the Slavic nation.
They were a family of highly skilled artisans, even before they came into contact with firearms.
The Constantine family controlled all the cold weapons in the entire Slavic country.
Later, some members of the Constantine family learned about advanced technologies from overseas.
Using their keen sense of smell, they sent people to learn.
The Constantine family then switched to making firearms.
This was also a crucial turning point that enabled the Slavic Empire to take off.
All of the Slavic Empire's firearms were made by the Constantine family.
And some of their truly difficult-to-produce, high-precision weapons are controlled by their own military.
That is, within Saleh's army.
A powerful alliance naturally leads to greater strength!
Standing inside the castle, Shahar and Eva stood to one side, watching the well-organized army.
Eva said to Shahar, "Father, you've chosen such an army... was it really necessary for me to write that letter?"
Seeing Eva's worried expression, Shahar smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you losing confidence now?"
Eva gave a wry smile and said, "Father, no one could have imagined that Constantine Eugene would get involved."
Shahar said, "I didn't expect it either! But then again, it all makes sense!"
Unexpectedly hearing Shahar say this, Eva asked, even more puzzled, "Father, what do you mean?"
Shahar said, "In the entire Slavic Empire, the family that fears most that we won't fight is the Constantine family."
"Therefore, if we fail to take down the Turks and the Northern Desert Kingdom, we will delay our fight against the Fusang Kingdom."
"They can only make money if we start fighting!"
"As the saying goes, when the cannons roar, gold pours in! Moreover, they have also set conditions! If they really take over the Turkic Kingdom and the Northern Desert Royal Palace, these two strategic locations will be under their control. After we take over the entire Xiao Kingdom, the Constantine family will inevitably rise to even greater heights!"
Eva suddenly realized, "So, Father... do you think they can take over there, or they can't!"
Shahar's face revealed a subtle, intriguing expression: "You guess!"
"Father, to be honest! I still can't guess... just tell me."
Shahar laughed and said, "I think he definitely can't beat them! If I thought they could, why would I let them pass? Why would I just hand over this strategic pass to them for nothing?"
Eva said, "Father's army is Saleh's army."
Shahar said, "No matter how powerful Saleh is, they only contributed 50,000! But Xiao Ce and his group have 500,000! And is what you said about Xiao Ce true?"
Eva paused, then asked, "What is it?"
"His deeds..."
Eva nodded firmly: "Of course!"
After hearing this, he suddenly understood. He smiled knowingly, "Father, you're right! No matter how powerful Saleh's army is, they only have 50,000 men... No matter how weak Xiao Ce's army is, they still have 500,000! That's a tenfold difference..."
"Moreover, Xiao Ce is not weak either!"
Shahar laughed and said, "Of course, there's one more! Whether it's Constantine or that Saleh Ali, the fact that they sent 50,000 troops shows that they don't take them seriously at all!"
"In the proverbs of the Xiao Kingdom, there is a saying: 'An arrogant army is bound to be defeated!'"
Eva asked, "Is it possible that the Constantine family will send additional troops later?"
Shahar chuckled and said, "That depends on Xiao Ce's abilities... If he can completely crush their tempers, then naturally they won't offer any more."
"Of course, if we give them hope and defeat them, but don't subdue them, they are very likely to join us!"
Eva asked, "Father, which situation do you need?"
Shahar's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Then naturally we'll exhaust their forces. Those oligarchs' private armies have always been my biggest headache. They don't fight for our empire, so they've always been a hidden danger for me! Especially this Saleh army! If Xiao Ce can severely weaken them, it will be a great help to me!"
After hearing this, Eva nodded: "Father, now that you've said that, I'm even more excited! I really want to see Saleh Ali slink back home!"
