Chapter 511 Queen of the Crescent

Su Dingfang's army, with a speed that he did not expect, easily "takes over" the whole city of Samu.

Facts have proved that the rumors from the outside world are true. The political and military incompetence and weakness of Kang people are as unique and distinct as their talents in business.

In fact, there are as many as 100,000 troops in Samo, the capital of Gongwei Kang, and there are countless food and fodder in the city. The commercial name on this silk road has a population of nearly 500,000, accounting for two-thirds of the total population of Kang.

If the Kang people rise up to fight back and resist, Su Dingfang may not be able to win it in a short time. What's more, Kang is the suzerain of Zhaowu. As long as Kang sends a distress signal to other countries, the soldiers and horses of the other eight countries will come to rescue. Even if the soldiers and horses of these small countries are not strong, the ants are outnumbered, and Su Dingfang, who has few troops, is really in danger of defeat or not.

But the Kang people just didn't make any resistance. Perhaps they are too business-minded and think that as long as there is a war, it will mean huge consumption and losses - therefore, Kang Guo spends a lot of money on mercenaries every year and has 200,000 troops for national defense. But these armies are all the same, and it is rare for Kang Guo to participate in a war in 20 years.

Even if they are faced with such a situation as today, they would rather surrender and resolutely not fight! The weapons and armor in the treasury are so rusty.

So Su Dingfang, Wu Mei Niang and others agreed that Kang, from the kings and ministers to ordinary people, are all outright businessmen, and they only have the concept of wealth and profit in their eyes. For them, as long as they can continue to do business, it doesn't matter even if the country is destroyed. It doesn't matter if they are slaves of the subjugated country. It's the same to whomever they are. If anyone bullies us, we will surrender decisively - that is, we will resolutely not fight!

Therefore, the soldiers who followed Su Dingfang were both angry and funny. Originally, he was full of anger and wanted to ask for the crime and kill. As a result, he only stood in front of the city, and without a single soldier, the enemy ten times more than himself had already fallen down and surrendered decisively.

"Bully good and fear evil, soft bones!"

"Bah! There are no bones at all!"

"Then they were quite arrogant at the beginning, and they all dared to detain the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Aren't you scared by Beiting? As soon as Beiting stamped his foot, Kang Guo even forgot his ancestral surname, and could only do everything obediently!"

......

Everyone despised Kang Guo fiercely.

Su Dingfang first took over the army and city defense, and then led the army into the city and occupied the palace. All the members of the royal family and princes and ministers of Kang were under control. However, Su Dingfang also issued a strict order to prohibit the army from disturbing the people, not to take things from the people without authorization, and not to abuse them arbitrarily, so as to maintain the stability of the people of Kang.

The Guanxi army, which turned to fight for thousands of miles and was majestic, had a strong atmosphere on its body, which made the whole city of Samo trembling. Kang Guoren didn't seem to feel anything wrong at the present. I used to follow Beiting, but now I have a master to mix with Datang. Anyway, it's not the same as anyone else. What's more, Datang is better than Beiting - as long as the business can be done, everything else is fine.

Therefore, Su Dingfang does not have to worry about any riots, riots and uprisings. From the moment he first stepped into the palace, the ministers of Kang almost knelt down and treated him as a king.

From the death of the king to the time Su Dingfang took over Samakjian, in just a few days, Samakjian was like experiencing a summer storm, coming and going quickly.

Everything returned to normal strangely, as if nothing had happened. No one jumped out to question the cause of death of the king and the crown prince.

"What a magical country!" Su Dingfang can't laugh or cry. He has never seen such a good enemy.

Wu Mei Niang told Su Dingfang in detail about what happened these days, emphasizing the matter of "big food invasion".

Su Dingfang naturally knows the priority of this matter. In contrast, the strange and powerful food army is far more difficult than the ten Kang countries. Its hidden dangers and imminent threats are even far beyond the Northern Court.

At this point, Bale Rihan can only fully t it. He revealed in detail how he outreached Nuerman, Crown Prince Chaharmon, and plotted to seize the throne.

Everything seems to be what Wu Mei Niang once saw with her own eyes, which is no different from what she expected. Bale Rihan was very surprised, and then decided that Wu Mei Niang was "not a mortal".

Wu Mei Niang and Su Dingfang discussed in private and agreed that the first task at present was to re-elect a king for Kang. First, we need to settle the inside, and then carry out a series of measures to resist the enemy and the outside.

The country can't be without a king for a day. Kangguo is the first country conquered by the Tang Dynasty during this expedition to the Western Regions. There are many small countries in the Western Regions, and Kang is also the suzerain of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty could not completely "destroy the country" Kang at this time and make the matter of occupying the magpie's nest. Otherwise, other countries will definitely resist strongly, which will add great difficulty to the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the whole land of the Western Regions in the future.

On the contrary, if you treat the Kang Kingdom well, just let it submit to the Tang Dynasty as a vassal state, thus retaining their royal power and clans and treating their people well, you can set a good example and precedent in the Western Regions. Among other things, the other eight countries with the surname of Zhaowu are likely to get twice the result with half the effort.

Su Dingfang unconsciously regarded Wu Mei Niang as the same minister or general to discuss these things with her. As a result, Wu Mei Niang's insight and wisdom seemed to be better than him, which made Su Dingfang marvel and called him "the heroine".

However, King Hayamano died suddenly and did not leave any will on his deathbed. Moreover, this pious and exaggerated Manicite kept silent all his life and did not give birth to a son and a half daughter. Crown Prince Chahalmon, who was elected from his clan, is not his own nephew.

If you want to choose a crown prince from the clan of King Kang's family to inherit the throne, it seems that there is a suspicion of erecting a puppet king. The subjects of Kang will not be convinced by him, and will also bury the hidden danger of the palace coup for the throne in the future.

Wu Mei Niang and Su Ding Fang thought to no result, so they decided to let the Kang people come up with their own ideas. Therefore, they called the three ministers of Kang and the members of the royal family to discuss the king's choice.

At this time, Wu Mei Niang had an idea in her heart. She called the viper Ballerihan and told him to recommend a special "king" candidate at the meeting. In such a situation, even if he did not eat the so-called "poison", Ballerian, who was only looking for life, had no choice but to do it according to Wu Mei Niang's idea.

As a result, at the meeting, Bale Rihan unexpectedly recommended the widow of the old king Hayamano, the Princess of the Crescent, to be the new king of Kang. His reasons are also sufficient. The first former king has no children. Now it is difficult to convince the public and will cause each other to fight with each other by choosing any member of the clan as a new king. Second, as one of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, that is, the descendant of the Dayue Kingdom, it is not a new thing to make a woman king. There is a precedent to follow. In the past few hundred years, the undissolved Dayue Kingdom has had two or three queens or women in power; even now, An, one of the nine kingdoms, is also ruled by the queen (also the king's widow).

As soon as Balehan said this, other ministers and members of the royal family understood in their hearts that Balehan, a cunning old fox, was asking the new master for credit in order to survive.

Although among the people present, there are many people who are coveted for the throne. However, even the ambitious ruler Bale Rihan, who killed the king and killed the crown prince, gave in and acted obediently. There are all people with amazing business minds here. They resolutely refused to do things that were not good - who would stand up against it?

Wu Mei Niang's clever plan succeeded - the Princess of the Crescent became the new king of Kangju. On a good day, a grand coronation ceremony will be held, and then the Princess of the Crescent will also be renamed the "Queen of the Crescent".

Princess Crescent is just a weak woman. Although she is smart, she is not born to be the queen's material. When she learned that she had been elected queen, she was so scared that she was unwilling to be king. Wu Mei Niang advised her to say, don't be afraid. In the future, Kangjuguo will be a subordinate country of the Tang Dynasty; as long as the Tang Dynasty is there for a day, no one will bully you again.

"But the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away. How can you take care of me all the time? Now General Su's army is still here; in case he leaves, I will definitely be kicked off the stage immediately!" Princess Crescent was worried. Maybe she was in a hurry. She grabbed Wu Meiniang and said, "Mei Niang, you are so smart and capable, and you are also the daughter-in-law of the real god and the wife of Qin Shaoshuai. This time you came forward to mediation and saved Sa Mojian from a military disaster. People all over the city are now grateful to you. Now in Kangguo, your prestige is higher than that of the three ministers - why don't you stay and be ministers? With your help, I dare to be this king!"

Wu Mei Niang shook her head with a smile, "No. I am a businessman, and I have been a wife and a mother. How can I stay in Kangguo all year round?

"If you don't stay, I'd rather die than a king - Allah's proof, what Murong Mingzhu just said is the oath!" Princess Crescent vowed.

"It turns out that Her Majesty's name is called Pearl." Wu Meiniang smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll... stay for the time being and help you take care of some state affairs. If there is a better candidate for auxiliary minister in the future, I will go back to the Central Plains.

"Well, that's it first!" Murong Mingzhu seemed to grab the life-saving straw and took Wu Mei Niang's hand tightly and refused to let go. She still said uneasily, "Although I am a princess, I believe in the teachings of Allah. I rarely appear in public, and I have never participated in any national affairs. Now I'm really afraid of suddenly asking me to be the king! - Mei Niang, I'm completely dependent on you!"

"Don't worry, Weichen will do his best to assist Her Majesty!" Wu Mei Niang raised her hand and said solemnly.

Murong Mingzhu was immediately laughed, "Mei Niang, you are more like a queen than anyone else!" Otherwise, I'll give you the throne Zen!"

Wu Mei Niang's face changed slightly, and her heart suddenly jumped up and said, "How can this work? I'm an outsider. How can I be the king of Kang? - Your Majesty, it's okay for us to say this kind of joke casually, but don't say it to outsiders!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong!" Murong Mingzhu smiled and said, "In fact, the throne of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu is not like the throne of the Central Plains. The inheritance of our throne is not strict. It can be passed from father to son, nephew, clan man, daughter, wife, or even to minister. Mei Niang, you are so capable, you will definitely govern the country well and make the country richer and stronger. Although you have just arrived in Kangguo, and you are not a member of Zhaowu Jiu, I believe that as long as you show enough convincing ability and achievements, everyone will be willing to accept you as a queen!"

Wu Mei Niang's heart beat faster.

Taking a deep breath, she took Murong Mingzhu's hand and smiled, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss these things. Before you are crowned king, you just want to abdicate, which is not conducive to the stability of the situation in Kangguo!"

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Murong Mingzhu said with a smile, "Mei Niang, you and I have another disaster at first sight. In addition, my sister and your wife have a deep relationship, and the Qin family is also the benefactor of my Murong family. It's better to follow the customs of the Central Plains - let's worship as sisters!"

"Good!" Wu Meiniang promised on the spot and said with a smile, "It's really a strange fate to meet the demon's sister thousands of miles away. If I remember correctly, the demon is three months younger than me. You are her twin sister, so I'm three months older than you!"

"Hee hee, then I'll call you... Sister Wang in the future! You are also a member of the royal family of Kang!" Murong Mingzhu smiled very happily.

Wu Mei Niang was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Oh, why do I have a feeling of being tricked?"

"How can you be so smart? I sincerely became a sister to you!" Murong Mingzhu smiled and said, "However, I really want to give you the Zen position for you in the future. In a word, I will do whatever you want in the future. How about it? - I'm the queen, and you are the queen's sister, and you are also the chief and auxiliary minister of Kang!"

"Okay..." Wu Mei Niang shook her head and smiled helplessly. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "That's right, Mingzhu. Since Yao'er entered my restaurant, he has never said his name and surname, and has never used the nickname 'Demon'er'. When my father-in-law accepted her as a swed daughter, he gave her the name Qin Xueer. You said that your ancestors' surname was Murong, and later your parents moved to Kangguo and changed their surname to Kang - so what's the original name of the demon?"

"I just listened to what Yuan Tiankang said..." Referring to her parents and demons, Murong Mingzhu's expression was a little dim and whispered, "My parents were very loving in those years. When my mother was pregnant with us, my father happened to be doing business abroad. He took my mother's portrait with him and took it out every day. When he came home, my mother happened to give birth to us, and he brought many night pearls from the South China Sea of the Central Plains. So my father named me 'Pearl'; in order to commemorate my father's deep love for her, my mother named my sister 'Yiyan'.

"Yi Yan, Yi Yan... People are just like their names!" Wu Mei Niang sighed.
