Text] Chapter 101 Establishment of the Principality (1)——
After returning to the bedroom from the conference hall, Maya took Li Jiawang's hand and asked: "Husband, why do you want to call yourself a duke so quickly? Didn't you say that after all the lords are unified, you can establish a principality and call yourself a duke?"
Looking at Maya's suspicious eyes, Li Jiawang touched Maya's face with his hand and said lightly: "Things have changed. Now our Haishen Territory is not far away from unification. After the principality is established, I will go to the elves
Go to the tribe and Ross City to strive for the peaceful unification of these two places."
"Oh, husband, how about I go out for a walk with you?" Maya looked at Li Jiawang with expectant eyes, and then asked coquettishly.
After hesitating for a while, Li Jiawang replied: "Okay! After I come back from the Elf Tribe, I will take you to Ross City and take a look at the sea."
"I knew my husband was the best!" Maya said with a smile on her face, then stood on tiptoes and kissed Li Jiawang on the face.
Li Jiawang touched it with his hand, and a happy smile appeared on the place where Maya kissed her. At this time, Li Jiawang forgot everything else around him and just wanted to look at his beloved woman quietly.
Two days later, Li Jiawang wore the ducal uniform given by Cage early in the morning and took Maya, who was dressed in costume, to a special carriage in the lord's mansion. This carriage was as high as three stories and made of 81 horses.
The carriage is pulled by a horse, and the outer surface of the carriage is tattooed with exquisite flower patterns.
This ducal ceremony was organized by Li Jiawang himself. Originally, Hudson wanted Li Jiawang to conduct it according to the rituals of mainland nobles. However, when Li Jiawang heard that he would first invite nobles from all over the country to participate, and then hold a huge banquet, etc., he
He shook his head and said: "There is no need to go to such trouble. Just send a notice to those nobles. We have no interaction with them. As for the specific ceremony, it is very simple. My wife and I took a carriage and paraded along the main street.
Then there will be a small military parade and a celebration in the central square, and finally, at the expense of the lord's palace, a flowing banquet will be set up in the central square to entertain guests from all walks of life."
After hearing Li Jiawang's words, Hudson closed his eyes, and when he was about to argue, Maya quickly said: "My husband is right, we have nothing to do with those nobles, as long as we can enjoy ourselves with the people."
Peter, Guo Ji, Adolf and others who had no good impressions of other nobles quickly said yes. Seeing this situation, Hudson had to give up his own ideas and arrange it according to Li Jiawang's request, but he still felt dissatisfied with Li Jiawang's actions.
Some were curious and murmured to themselves, not knowing whether this was a good or bad thing.
After getting ready, everyone started today's celebration at Li Jiawang's order. Peter led a thousand guards to open the way first, and then Li Jiawang and Maya rode in a luxury carriage pulled by 81 horses.
, followed by a group of officials from the Lord's Mansion.
As soon as they left the Lord's Mansion, they found that the big man in the Lord's Mansion had been surrounded by crowds of people who had heard the news and came to watch the fun. After Pete's guards drove out a road with difficulty, they pulled Li Jiawang and Maya's carriage, and then
Walk out of the Lord's Mansion and walk slowly along the planned route.
A businessman standing next to the road looked at the carriage that Li Jiawang was riding in, as well as Li Jiawang who was waving to the residents on both sides of the road, and Maya who was leaning closely against Li Jiawang with a happy face, and asked his companions around him.
: "Do you know where this ceremony is? I have seen many celebrations in the principality, but I have never seen this kind of parade and celebration. Is this a unique way of the Holy Dragon Empire?"
The man stood in the crowded crowd and replied calmly: "Maybe! As far as I know, this Li Jiawang is here because the king of the Holy Dragon Empire was assassinated during the parade and luckily saved Cage's life.
Was given this territory."
"I wonder if King Cage of the Holy Dragon Empire was kicked in the head by a donkey. Otherwise, how could he have given such a good piece of land to Li Jiawang? You must know that although this land does not produce much food, it was originally a
It is an important strategic location, especially for businessmen like us on the island. Unfortunately, this place cannot belong to us, otherwise I will definitely develop it into a large-scale trade center." The businessman looked at Li Jiawang with jealous eyes.
, said with a hint of jealousy.
"Conan, don't be jealous. Even when our family was at its strongest, it was possible to get here, whether it was the barbarians from Shiwandashan, the mercenary group from Ross City, or the Holy Dragon Empire to the west.
Our family can handle it, not to mention that our family is getting weaker and weaker now." The young man said with some sadness.
"Kexi, do you think our Ke family will regain its former glory?" Conan asked a little unconfidently. The current situation of the family made him lose confidence.
"Yes, I firmly believe that as long as we can contact Li Jiawang, the most powerful person in Haishen Territory, our family will return to its previous glory, and even surpass it and become one of the famous families on the mainland."
Kexi clenched his fists and said calmly.
"Will Li Jiawang help us?" Conan asked unconfidently.
"Yes, I have something he is interested in." Kexi said confidently.
"Well, I believe in you Kexi." Conan's hesitant eyes regained their brightness and he said firmly. Kexi is the smartest person in his family and his best playmate. He can definitely revitalize the family.
After Li Jiawang paraded along the main street, his arms were a little sore from shaking, and his face was a little stiff from smiling. This made him sigh, this is not something that can be offended. Of course, this is just his complaint.
That's all, it's very satisfying to be able to show off your face in front of so many people.
When Li Jiawang's carriage arrived at the central square, the square was surrounded by crowds of spectators. There was only a large space guarded by the Maple Leaf Army without any crowds. Li Jiawang followed the road guarded by the Maple Leaf Army and climbed to the central high platform.
Looking at the surging crowd in the audience, a surge of pride surged into the sky, and then he shouted loudly: "Now I declare that the Maple Leaf Principality is officially established!"
As soon as Li Jiawang's voice fell, the 10,000 rotating turrets around the Lord's Mansion and Maple Leaf City suddenly emerged from the ground, and then blasted twelve times into the sky. Suddenly, a sound like the explosion of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder sounded over Haisen Territory.
, this huge sound of cannons shocked the onlookers in the central square, wondering what was going on, and those well-informed businessmen and adventurers subconsciously shouted "Magic Crystal Cannon.",
However, they quickly refuted this idea. How could there be so many magic crystal cannons in Maple Leaf City? Even the Holy Dragon Empire only had two thousand magic crystal cannons.
As Maple Leaf City's thousands of cannons fired, an earthquake occurred in Ross City, which was hundreds of miles away. All the leaders of the major forces looked inexplicably in the direction of Maple Leaf City, making guesses one after another, and immediately sent their men to contact Maple Leaf City.
The spies asked what was going on. When they learned that it was the Haishen Territory's lord's mansion that fired thousands of artillery fire, they couldn't help but feel a shadow of guilt in their hearts.
The garrison of Sunset Fortress, thousands of miles away, heard the loud noise and panicked, thinking that someone was attacking! Hearing the loud noise, a middle-aged female spirit walked out of the wooden house,
Looking at the direction of the loud noise, he said to the elf from a year ago beside him: "Our peaceful days are about to end."
Robert, who was standing in the audience watching the ceremony, heard the loud noise and listened to the reports from his subordinates about the forts that appeared around Maple Leaf City and the Lord's Mansion. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Li Jiawang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He made such a big fuss again this time."
Now the people who want to cause trouble for him will have another headache. However, it is really a right choice for me to cooperate with him, and I will try my best to provide him with convenience and information in the future."
Upon hearing the loud noise, the Maple Leaf Army and the residents of Maple Leaf City immediately cheered loudly to celebrate the strength of their country and their pride, because they had been informed that this was the sound of the rotating fort in the city.
The firing of the cannon was also a salute to celebrate Li Jiawang becoming a duke.
The adventurers and businessmen who were watching the ceremony completely believed in the strength of the Lord's Mansion, and their worries about the possible revenge of the Lord's Mansion by other major forces were wiped away, and they began to consider settling in Haisen Territory.dd
