The Red Age of Sword and Magic

Chapter 376 Randy Offers Soil
When Randy was in the Later Xia court, he was granted the privilege of worshiping without being famous, entering the court without going, walking on the sword and riding a horse in the Forbidden City.

When it comes to Minxia, ​​don't pay attention to this anymore. As the brother of the Grand Commander, he also enjoys the right to freely enter and leave the Minxia Palace.

Randy wants someone to report, not to give Erjin face in front of outsiders, but simply because Erjin is married, and having a sister-in-law makes it difficult to suddenly break into Erjin's room.

Randy, Liu Ming, and Ke Ke were waiting in the lobby outside. The tea had been brewed several times, and it was watered down, and Er Jin hadn't come out yet.

Liu Ming smiled and buried Er Jin, "It seems that Er Jin has become the commander-in-chief, and this airs are too big."

Coco and Erjin have only been in contact for a short time. They don't know Erjin and have no right to speak, but Randy is thoughtful.

"Something must have happened to Erjin, otherwise it would be impossible. If he doesn't come out again, I will rush in to have a look."

"I am fine."

Erjin's feeble voice came from inside.

Er Jin was wearing the gorgeous official uniform of the Grand Commander, and walked out with stilted steps, his face was haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

With a satisfied look on her face, Xiao Guizi calmly supported Er Jin by her side, and put Er Jin on the chair.

"Are you going to study national affairs? I don't like this, go out and play."

Xiao Guizi hummed and left. Randy looked him up and down. He didn't look injured, but he just seemed to be staying up late.

Ke Ke is familiar with this situation, "Er Jin, have you been playing games all night?"

"The only gaming helmet I know of is in Randy's hands, so where's the chance?

Yuanyuan came back yesterday, so my son-in-law should follow him.

But you see, the first day of junior high school is the first year of the Ming Dynasty, I officially took office, and I got married on the second day of junior high school.

In the past few days during the New Year, as the commander in chief, I have been visiting various places and receiving envoys from various countries. I have been busy all day with meaningless things, so Yuanyuan can only go home by herself.

By the way, Randy, Yuanyuan has been helping in my shop in Shonan County, Shi Lanchong hasn't been back for a long time, and wants to stay for a few more days.

The bride can't live in her in-law's house when she returns home, and now she's living in an empty house in Randy's house.

Yuanyuan is not at home. Last night, two of my confidants told me that Prime Minister Duan was domineering and domineering, plotting to take my position as the commander-in-chief.

After they left, I didn't sleep all night, and that was it.

In fact, let him do it if he wants to. I, who can only nod and approve, being a commander-in-chief is actually quite boring. "

Once a simple and honest man uses the spring and autumn brushwork, everyone will believe it immediately.

Liu Ming laughed loudly, "Now we have given you Erjin a great contribution, and I have planned another contribution for you.

Once these two great achievements are made, your prestige will rise immediately.

Prime Minister Duan didn't dare to touch you even if he had soldiers in his hands, so you, the great commander, will be fine. "

…………

Two hours later, envoys from various countries and reporters from major newspapers were summoned to the Minxia Palace urgently.

Randy, the Duke of Alaska, stated in public that Nicholas II, the feudal lord whom he was loyal to, had died, and all his heirs had passed away, and the Kingdom of Lucia, to which he was loyal, no longer existed.

According to the "ancient practice", Alaska automatically became the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the suzerain country Daxia.

Lan has always respected tradition, so this time he came to Dadu to pay homage to Li Yuanhong, the ruler of the world, to express his allegiance to the Minxia government.

Commander Li Da held the jade seal in his hand, accepted the Alaska map and household registration information presented by Duke Lan, and appointed Randy as the Chief Executive of Alaska Province and the Alaska Overseer on the spot.

And announced that Randy contributed to the inclusion of Alaska and was awarded a medal.

Later, Randy's administrative assistant Xiansheng presented a report on Alaska's economic situation to Prime Minister Duan.

Although Alaska is bitterly cold, and because of the huge investment in development, the current economy cannot make ends meet, so it still borrows [-] gold coins as the prepaid tax for the first half of the year.

All the onlookers, including Prime Minister Duan, were dumbfounded.

The newly established Su Clan Federation has not yet been recognized by all countries, and most of them have no envoys.

The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Chicherin, who was invited to observe the ceremony from Fort Saint-Suberte in a temporary teleportation array, walked away after expressing strong protests.

Kolchak's White Army is still separated between the area they control and Minxia, ​​and now they can only express their protest.

The envoys and reporters from various countries were in a daze for a long time, and when they saw the jade seal in Er Jin's hands, they suddenly remembered.

This man, who has no real power in Minxia, ​​can only smirk and nod to vote for Prime Minister Duan at meetings. He is known as "Li Bodhisattva", but he actually has the name of world ruler.

Is there an "old routine" that Randy follows?That's definitely there.

At least in the first 80 years of the establishment of the Later Xia Dynasty, when it still had control over the world, it has been implemented in this way.

As for after that, if the local lord of the vassal state encounters a regime change similar to today's, as Randy, he either joins the Su Clan Federation, or establishes himself as a king, at most he can get some special products such as sable fur to pay tribute to, please. An imperial decree recognized by the Central Dynasty.

Now Randy not only didn't sit on the ground and become king, but also surrendered the land, and even paid the tax.

Although the tax of [-] gold coins is insignificant to the Minxia government, it is a matter of face.Look at the governors of the fifteen provinces in the mainland, how many have paid taxes?

In fact, Alaska is attached, and the tariff saved by doing business with the magic market alone is more than [-] gold coins a year, and Randy has not lost money.

The popularity of the Su Federation was gone, and envoys from other countries expressed their congratulations to Er Jin with mixed feelings.

First of all, as a vassal state, they don't like this kind of thing.

However, the newly established Su Clan Federation was rebellious and openly declared that it would inherit the will of the New Kangfu Society and be the gravedigger of nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world.

For the rulers of the great powers, this kind of thing is much more hateful than the traditional Randy.

The lesser of two evils, the matter of "Randy offering soil" was unanimously approved by the big powers.

The spotlight flashed, Er Jin was in the middle, Prime Minister Duan was on the left, and Randy was on the right. This group photo is expected to be on the headlines of major newspapers around the world.

Later historians conducted in-depth research on this handed down photo.

In the photo, Randy has a contemptuous smile, and anyone who knows the history in later generations will know that it was for Su Ningning, who intends to renege on his debts.

Prime Minister Duan laughed as if he was crying, because he felt helpless that he had no hope of becoming a leader.

Erjin smiled brightly, the only fly in the ointment was that he looked out of breath, with dark circles and bloodshot eyes, his face was very haggard.

The explanation of the official history is that the people were established at the beginning of Xia Dynasty, and the commander-in-chief worked hard on state affairs and worked hard. This is the evidence that the commander-in-chief Li did not care about his own life for the country and the people.

Folk legends are very evocative. Forbidden books such as "The Amorous History of Li Bodhisattva", "Li Erjin's Screams at Night in the Summer Palace", and "Memoirs of the Chief Guard of Li Dacommand" describe Erjin as a licentious and faint king. .

This kind of attack on the personal morality of the prestige and lofty Commander Li was refuted by a large number of loyal fans of Erjin in later generations, who believed that it was groundless and must be smeared by foreign reactionary forces.

Taking a step back, even if the descriptions in those banned books full of onomatopoeias are true, they cannot obliterate the great achievements of Commander Li Da in opening up the territory.

The enclosing ceremony of Alaska ended, and Minxia officially added a province.

Before the envoys and reporters from various countries had digested this important event, Erjin immediately released another big news.
