The first thousand two hundred and sixty-ninth chapters Princess Yueer
The warm sea breeze brings warm and humid water vapor.
Di Xin stood on the deck of the main ship, looking at the islands that were getting farther and farther away, and a few seagulls flying in the sky.
The reason why he chose Ryukyu as his first target was not because there was a World Lord descending here, nor was it to continue the last expedition.
After the Turks, Goguryeo and Uighur tribes were all conquered, the Rakshasa Kingdom outside the Western Regions was the closest foreign nation to the northern Xinjiang.
And in the last foreign coalition, the Rakshasa Kingdom did exist.
Emperor Xin still chose to start from Ryukyu. The real reason was to bring all the northern Xinjiang troops to southern Xinjiang.
There is no sea in Northern Xinjiang. Even if Emperor Xin spent huge manpower and financial resources to dig out a huge lake under the Eagle Beak Cliff, it only allowed the Northern Xinjiang army to become familiar with the use of ships.
There's no way he can become a navy master.
And now that he has become the king, he naturally does not need to hide his strength.
In order to make the Northern Xinjiang Army familiar with the situation at sea as soon as possible, he brought all the Northern Xinjiang Army who had trained under the Eagle Beak Cliff to the sea outside Southern Xinjiang.
In addition to the original 30,000 expeditionary troops, there are also 40,000 Northern Xinjiang troops.
In the land of Northern Xinjiang, there are 20,000 Northern Xinjiang Army and 10,000 private troops who originally belonged to Liu Jiande. Among them, the 10,000 private troops have now been formally established and become part of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Even if there were no foreign enemies, the 30,000 troops guarding northern Xinjiang and the two new cities on the grassland would naturally be somewhat stretched.
Therefore, in addition to these 30,000 troops, the Eastern Border Pass and the Western Region each sent 15,000 troops to guard the northern border for Emperor Xin.
The army in southern Xinjiang was mainly naval and the distance was far away, so there was no mobilization.
But outside the borders, the armies in other provinces and territories within Dali have other tasks.
Those contenders for realm masters who were once surrounded and suppressed by King Cheng, but survived by chance and are still dormant in the territory of Dali, will face all-round siege and suppression from the imperial court.
The old emperor was responsible for the rear area, not only to provide supplies to Emperor Xin, but also to ensure the stability of Dali.
And his secret manpower had already taken advantage of King Cheng's encirclement and suppression of the rebel army to secretly investigate the information about the realm lord competitors.
Coupled with the new firearms equipped by armies in various places.
Therefore, when the imperial court in Dali launched its attack, the contenders for the realm lord who had already suffered heavy losses directly faced a more comprehensive and fatal blow.
Under such a powerful siege, even if there were people who were lucky enough to survive, they would basically have no power to resist.
As for these, Di Xin just took a look at the information shared by the old emperor and didn't care about it anymore.
Although the world master competitors are all difficult to deal with, in the territory of Dali, the imperial court is the real power.
He believed that the old emperor could handle all this well.
…
"Your Highness, Your Highness, look what I caught..."
"What?"
Di Xin turned around and saw Zhao Yue'er holding a crab in his hand and clawing his way towards him.
Di Xin: "..."
In order to adjust the supporting troops from various places, An Junshan still stayed in northern Xinjiang as the capital commander, while Zhao Quanyou also stayed in northern Xinjiang as a force to suppress the troops like last time.
And Zhao Yue'er was kicked back because of her last expedition, so this time she had to follow her no matter what.
Zhao Quanyou didn't know why, but he actually agreed.
Of course, this may also have something to do with Emperor Xin asking for a princess title for Zhao Yuer.
Now that Zhao Yue'er was Di Xin's sister in name, he naturally let go of his wariness towards the two of them.
Since Zhao Quanyou refused, Di Xin naturally had no reason to refuse.
Although Zhao Yue'er is a woman, she has cultivation skills, so as long as she doesn't go to the battlefield to fight, there is no need to deliberately send people to protect her safety.
This time Xizi also stayed in northern Xinjiang to assist Shen Qianhua in handling government affairs. Song Qianwei, who still followed, really needed a same-sex partner.
And bringing Zhao Yue'er with you can indeed add a bit of fun to the boring journey.
The entire expeditionary force was very fond of this playful and lively little girl.
However, Di Xin sometimes thought that if Zhao Yue'er's identity as a princess was revealed, those in the expeditionary force would still dare to call her little sister.
With this in mind, Di Xin said casually: "The fleet has set off, don't run around anymore, be careful of falling into the sea."
"I can't swim, so I won't be able to save you, the princess, when the time comes."
Of course it's a lie that he doesn't know how to swim, just to scare her.
After all... Although Zhao Yue'er likes to ride boats, she can't learn how to swim.
Sure enough, when Di Xin finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yue'er's face turn red, and then she reacted and quickly came up on tiptoes to cover Di Xin's mouth.
"Shh..."
At the same time, he warned in a low voice: "Don't reveal my identity as a princess, otherwise I will ignore you."
Di Xin raised his head slightly and avoided Zhao Yue'er's raised hand. At the same time, he lowered his voice and laughed: "Why, this is an honor that not many people can ask for, and you still despise it?"
"Do you know how much effort I put into asking for this title for you?"
Yes, I even made a special trip to the palace.
Not to mention it was okay, but when I mentioned Zhao Yue'er, I became even more angry, and the crabs in my hands no longer smelled good.
She puffed her lips and said, "You still have the nerve to say that since I became a princess, all the people in the house have been as reserved as quails and no longer want to play with me."
Di Xin touched her head and said with a smile: "Of course, you are a princess now, how dare they do the following."
Zhao Yue'er was depressed, but he was very happy.
The title given to the princess was not entirely for An Zhao Quanyou's sake.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yue'er has been pampered a little too much by the people in the family in recent years. Di Xin doesn't want to change her nature, but he doesn't want her to become the "little swallow" in a certain drama on Blue Star, so he Use this title to suppress her temper.
Otherwise, he would not have allowed her to conceal the princess's identity in the army.
"snort!"
Zhao Yue'er broke away from Di Xin's head-touching attack and saw the smile on his face. She immediately became even more angry, stepped on him and ran away.
"I'm going to complain to Sister Qianwei that you bullied me."
Di Xin: "..."
Zhao Yue'er's foot would naturally not hurt him.
Seeing Zhao Yue'er pretending to complain but actually losing the crab in her hand and running into the cabin, Di Xin once again set his sights on the distant sea.
The annulment of the covenant was announced to the world at the prince's canonization ceremony, and coupled with the evidence that King Cheng had colluded with foreigners, no one could change it.
Therefore, now foreign missions have once again set foot on the land of Dali.
Although the covenant was invalidated, it cannot be said that the last negotiation was completely ineffective. At least the court's position could not suddenly change to the main battle.
Although the covenant was signed by King Cheng, the court at that time was inclined towards peace.
Therefore, even superficial efforts must be made.
Once the differences in the original covenant due to becoming king are resolved, under the pressure of public opinion, a new covenant is likely to be signed again.
What he has to do is to conquer as many foreign races as possible during this negotiation process.
Or, use force to defeat all these foreign races.
Or, force these foreign nations to give up negotiations, merge into Dali by surrender instead of being attached to a vassal state, and become part of Dali.
