The Southern Qi envoy knelt there tremblingly, not daring to say another word.
"The foreign minister will make a covenant with you now. When he returns, he will immediately hand over all twenty cities to the great merchants."
A hint of evil charm flashed at the corner of Zhao Rui's mouth.
"Wouldn't it be over already? It has cost me so much. Mr. Nangong, I will leave the matter of diplomatic relations to you."
Nangong Yi immediately understood and signed an alliance with Nan Qi on the spot.
After the envoy from Nan Qi left, Zhao Rui slowly stood up.
"Everyone, you are all loyal ministers of my great merchant, do you think Nan Qi is a little too presumptuous?"
The hall was filled with excitement.
"Little Southern Qi, do they really think they are still the great Eastern country they were before?"
"In the past, our Dashang royal family was weak, so we were bullied by all the princes in the world. Now that we are so powerful, why do we need to look at their faces anymore."
"That's right, now that our country, Great Shang, is strong, we can send troops to destroy Southern Qi at any time."
...
Everyone was talking, and it seemed that they were unwilling to fulfill the covenant.
A hint of cunning flashed across Zhao Rui's face. To be honest, he didn't take Nan Qi seriously.
The current territory of Southern Qi has been surrounded by the Shang Dynasty on three sides, and it is completely possible to send troops from three directions to destroy it.
However, the current major merchants are mainly dealing with Xi Shu, and they cannot spare any time to deal with Southern Qi for the time being.
However, you can still continuously weaken its national power through diplomatic relations!
Zhao Rui didn't say anything more, he just stood up and slowly drew out the King Yu Sword.
"Everyone, the world has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and it cannot continue to be chaotic. Since Dachang is the suzerain state of the world, it must shoulder this burden and unify the world! I can tell you today that I will devour the world.
The war to destroy the country has begun, and we will all be the executors of this strategy."
The words immediately made the civil and military ministers present get excited.
Many of them are slaves in various countries. If it were not for Zhao Rui, they might have remained slaves in their entire lives and would not have been able to achieve the status they have today.
No matter what Zhao Rui says, they will implement it. Now that Zhao Rui wants to replace the Great Shang Emperor and become the emperor himself, they will support it unconditionally.
Besides, swallowing up all the vassal states in the world, unifying the world, and rebuilding the world is an unprecedented and great undertaking.
It is a supreme honor for them to be able to participate in it.
"I sincerely obey the order of Prince Zhao!"
Zhao Rui stepped down from the throne, took the King Yu Sword, put it on the map, and pointed at the location of Xishu.
"The next thing we want to destroy is Xi Shu. The whole Dadai, everything must work hard in this direction! As for the others, just maintain the status quo. If the princes and states in the world are really disobedient, then we can only
Let’s free up our hands first to teach them a lesson.”
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so excited that they could not help themselves. They wished they could take weapons to the battlefield and participate in the war to destroy the country.
Zhao Rui did not stay here longer, he just gave an impassioned speech and hurried back to the harem.
After all, I have a daughter, and I have a little more concern in my heart.
