Hearing Young Master Liu's inquiry, Nangong Ye, Hu Yanyu, Wanyan Chiezha, Yeluha, and Yunchong all looked at Zhang Kuang in unison.
Nowadays, Zhang Kuang, the left-wing military marshal, is in charge of most things within the Kingdom of Dashi.
As for who is the most suitable person to report to Young Master Liu about the situation in Dashi Country, it is naturally him.
Zhang Kuang felt the gazes of several people, chuckled and gave Young Master Liu a fist.
"Your Majesty, let the veteran come first."
Liu Mingzhi blew out a puff of smoke, looked at Zhang Kuang and nodded with a slight smile.
"Okay, uncle, let's talk first."
"Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of things you want to ask about?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to fan the light smoke lingering in front of him, then picked up the pot and poured himself a cup of herbal tea.
"Uncle, please tell me first what is the main situation in Dashi Country now."
Zhang Kuang pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, for now, most places in Dashi Kingdom are still very stable.
In some places, there will be some unrest from time to time.
However, every time a turmoil breaks out, it will soon be suppressed by our Dalong soldiers."
When Liu Mingzhi heard the arrogant answer, he frowned slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a casual sip of tea.
"Uncle, what are some of the places you mentioned?"
"Your Majesty, most of them are cities on the border of the Great Food Country."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and gently took a puff of dry cigarette.
"Uncle, what are the identities of those who caused the unrest? Have they been investigated clearly now?
Is it a force among the people? Or is it a damaged force left behind by the imperial court of the Great Food Kingdom?"
Zhang Kuang picked up a cup of herbal tea and soothed his dry throat after drinking.
"According to the investigation by spies and scouts, there are both. There are the remaining forces from the Great Food Kingdom that are unwilling to surrender to our Great Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, and there are also some forces from the people.
However, compared to the forces among the people, most of them are the remaining forces from the imperial court of the great food country."
"What's the situation with those civil forces? Are they dissatisfied with our Dalong's rule, or do they have other reasons?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are two types of civil forces that deliberately create unrest."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Your Majesty, some of the civil forces who deliberately create unrest for us are the people of the Great Food Country who are dissatisfied with the rule of our dragon, and the other part are sand bandits who have been wandering around the western countries all year round."
Liu Mingzhi, who was drinking tea, paused slightly and frowned.
"Are some people dissatisfied with our Dalong's rule? Why are they dissatisfied? You haven't done anything excessive, right?"
When Zhang Kuang saw the change in Mr. Liu's expression, his expression tightened slightly and he shook his head without hesitation.
"No, no, I can assure you, Your Majesty.
Since I have completely conquered the entire Dashi Kingdom, I have been properly managing the people in the Dashi Kingdom in accordance with the orders given by Your Majesty before the expedition.
Apart from this, I have never done any excessive behavior without authorization."
Seeing Zhang Kuang's expression suddenly becoming embarrassed, Liu Mingzhi drank the herbal tea in the cup in one gulp.
"Uncle, you don't need to be nervous.
I ask you this, young master, and I don’t mean to question you.
Mainly I just can’t figure out why this happens.”
"I understand, I understand. I understand."
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and stretched, then walked towards the city wall a few steps away with his dry pipe in hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Kuang immediately stood up and followed him.
Nangong Ye, Cheng Kai, Hu Yanyu and others also stood up one after another and gathered towards the city wall without any hurry.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the scenery outside the royal city and silently took a puff of dry cigarette.
"Uncle, have you investigated and found out why those people are dissatisfied with our rule?"
"We have already investigated the general situation."
"Oh? Tell me what the reason is."
"There are racial reasons, religious reasons, and all kinds of other messy reasons."
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Zhang Kuang standing next to him.
"Because of race, I can probably understand what's going on, young master.
It’s just that their hearts must be different from those of the non-my race that our dragon said, there’s no difference, right?”
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
"Then what's the reason for this belief?"
Zhang Kuang scratched his brow with his fingers, smiled bitterly and let out a sigh of relief.
"Back to Your Majesty, the people of the Dashi Kingdom who caused the turmoil have great faith in the God they call."
"They can believe in whatever they want to believe. What they believe in is their business. What does this have to do with being dissatisfied with the rule of our dragon?
What? You won’t force them to change their beliefs, will you?”
"No, I don't have any."
"I'm surprised, young master, that you have been benevolent to them, but you haven't forced them to change their beliefs.
If that's the case, then why are they dissatisfied with our dragon's rule?"
"Return to your Majesty, you may not believe the reason."
"Hey, uncle, stop being so pretentious and tell me what's going on."
"Your Majesty, it's like this. Since then, I have led the soldiers to completely conquer the entire Dashi Kingdom.
The reason why the people of the Great Food Kingdom have been causing turmoil and are unwilling to submit to the rule of the Great Dragon is because the veterans and other brothers, as well as our officers and soldiers of the Great Dragon, do not believe in the God they call.
They think that the old ministers and other brothers, as well as our Dalong soldiers are heretics, and we heretics are not worthy to govern them, the people of God.
During this period, they even sent a representative to come to the royal city to negotiate with the old minister and other brothers.
That representative claimed that as long as we are willing to believe in their Allah and become His people, we will accept the governance of our Great Dragon Heavenly Kingdom."
As he talked, he lit up a pot of tobacco with a wry smile and took a long puff.
“Your Majesty, we don’t even know what the God they say is about us, so how can we believe in Him?
Furthermore, even if we really figure out what God is like, it is impossible for our brothers and veterans to believe in Him.
It is for this reason that they will create some small disturbances for us from time to time."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to knock out the ashes from the smoke pot on the city wall, casually put his hands behind his back, and looked out towards the outside of the royal city again.
"A fanatical believer?"
Nangong Ye took a sip of wine from the wine bottle and looked at Young Master Liu helplessly.
"Your Majesty, Brother Zhang is right.
Isn’t it a joke to ask veterans, brothers, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to believe in the God they say?”
Zhang Kuang blew out a puff of smoke and nodded with a slight smile.
"Your Majesty, when we are away on an expedition, my brothers and I don't believe in anyone but our own ancestors.
With the blessing of our ancestors, everything will be fine!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and nodded happily.
"Yes, uncle, you are right, trust no one as much as your own ancestors!"
Zhang Kuang raised his hand to fan the smoke in front of him and sighed helplessly.
"Well, Your Majesty, now you should be able to understand the difficulties I'm waiting for, right?"
