I, Altria, only want to rule China.

However, what Liu Yilong did not know was that what the ministers meant by "losing everything" was about losing the homes of the common people, and "selling all the pots and pans" also meant smashing the pots and pans of the common people.

It has to be said that the actions of these ministers have made the people feel helpless.

When the people saw what the ministers did, they were immediately angry.

Since you, the Liu Song court, have made it impossible for us common people to survive, the gene of "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different species?" in the bones of common people suddenly began to revive.

Especially Leah, who opened up a new way of thinking for the people of the world.

What to do if you are poor and have no sword or gun?

It doesn't matter. Just follow the example of Queen Arthur and fight against those local tyrants and evil gentry. Then the money, grain and land will come to you.

Although we don't have the same military strength as Queen Arthur, we can rebel together as a village or a town!

After all, it took only two years for her to destroy the powerful Northern Wei Dynasty and establish the first country ruled by women and the first female emperor. So naturally, many people will study Leah's deeds and how she achieved her current level step by step.

The more they studied, the more amazing it became. Apart from cheating, they couldn't think of any other way. But that didn't stop them from following Leah's lead.

What if the imperial court wants to suppress us?

It doesn’t matter, if you can ambush them, then ambush them. If you can’t ambush them, then just run away and treat those soldiers like dogs.

The final result was that the Liu Song dynasty was filled with war. Except for Yangzhou, which was currently controlled by Liu Yilong, rebels appeared in every other state.

At this time, not to mention Liu Yilong, even the governors and provincial governors were in a panic because these rebels had already posed a definite threat to their safety.

No matter how chaotic the South is now, it has little to do with Leah. She is not interested in taking care of the affairs of the South now. Just let them continue to be chaotic.

What she was thinking now was that since she had unified the north, she should conquer the Outer Mongolia region.

Of course, it’s not that Leah wants to take action against them, but these guys come to the border to plunder every year, which is intolerable.

Of course, because of the need to recuperate, Leah did not intend to rashly send troops to the Rouran, but instead planned to adopt a conciliatory policy and let them surrender voluntarily.

After such a period of time, Leah has gained enough understanding of this nation.

However, for someone who grew up listening to the fifty-six constellations, it is difficult to develop any hatred towards other races.

In Liya's view, since she has unified the north, the history of hundreds of years of love and hatred between the Rouran and the Han people should almost come to an end.

As a nomadic people, the Rouran did not actually have a unified political power on the grassland. It was only after the emergence of Temujin in later generations that these grassland peoples truly rose.

As far as Liya knows, there are at least four Rouran tribes, and these tribes are not united, so Liya plans to conquer a group of them first.

So Liya sent a few people from Chang'an to the Rouran tribe and told them about this matter.

Chapter 130 Khitan Envoy

If it were the Northern Wei Dynasty, these Rouran people might not agree. After all, they had been bullied badly by the Northern Wei Dynasty before. But now that the Northern Wei Dynasty has been defeated by the Han people, it is a different matter.

Moreover, these Han people now have powerful firearms. They did come to Liya's territory to plunder during the autumn harvest this year, but they were directly stunned by the firearms and finally scared away.

At that time, Leah was also dealing with matters in Shandong and Hebei, so she had no time to deal with these Rouran people. Now she has free time.

It all depends on whether the Rouran people are willing to join her. If not, she will beat them into submission!

However, when Liya chose to target the Rouran people, a piece of news came that somewhat surprised her.

That is, the Khitan tribe sent several envoys to see her.

Khitan Liya was a little surprised when she heard this.

At this moment, the Khitans were not as powerful as they were during the Song Dynasty. They were just a small nomadic tribe.

They live in the northern region, that is, in Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, and have set aside an area at the end of the Inner Mongolia territory for their living.

Now these Khitans are just like the small countries in the Western Regions, basically obeying the orders of the Rouran. It really surprised Leah that they would send people to Chang'an to see her.

"Bring them to see me." Leah said after thinking for a while.

After getting Leah's permission, the two Khitans met with all the ministers in the main hall of Chang'an at the morning court the next day.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Queen Arthur of Wu Kingdom."

Seeing this magnificent palace, the majestic ministers, and the expressionless empress, the two Khitans were a little scared, but they still knelt down to Leah according to the etiquette taught by the etiquette officer yesterday.

"Are you Khitans?" Leah asked after looking at the two of them.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are Khitans." The two middle-aged men said stutteringly.

The accent is authentic and there is no doubt that it is very similar to the Northeastern people of later generations.

When Leah heard this, she knew that these people were not lying.

"Oh, you are Khitans. Why did you suddenly come to my Wu country and specifically asked to see me? What's the matter?" Leah asked the two big men below.

One of the two men said, "Your Majesty, we have read the newspaper issued by your Wu Kingdom, and you advocate intermarriage between the Han people and other ethnic groups. We don't like fighting, nor do we want to be bullied by the Rouran and Goguryeo people, so can you accept us and let us learn to farm here?"

Another man also said excitedly: "After we came here, we found that the people under your rule are living a good life, so we just want to ask you. As long as you agree, we will go back and bring everyone from our clan here."

Leah frowned when she heard that.

Seeing Liya frown, the two men panicked. Could it be that this Han Chinese empress was not going to accept them?

It's not that Liya disagrees, but if she accepts these Khitans, what will happen to the territory that originally belonged to the Khitans? Wouldn't that mean it will be thrown away?

This won't work. She can accept the Khitans, but they cannot immigrate here. Otherwise, who will manage those lands once I take them over? They will still have to immigrate there, which is too troublesome.

"How many people are there in your tribe?" Leah asked after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, our tribe has a total of 50,000 people, but we only know how to herd sheep and graze, not farm." The big man below replied

Seeing the two people's nervous expressions, Liya knew that her expression might have frightened them, so she changed her tone and said, "I can accept you, but you don't have to move your people here. After all, there are many elderly, weak, women and children in your tribe, and that would be too inconvenient."

A man said quickly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will take them with us. We don't have that many people anyway, and both old and young women can ride horses. Can't we just bring them all here? Or do you not have enough land for us to farm?"

Hearing this, some ministers could not help but mocked: "There is so much land in China, but it is just land, it is everywhere. With your small number of people, you can't even compare to one of our counties."

"If that's the case, then why did Her Majesty agree to accept us but not let us move here?" the big man asked puzzledly.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!" Of course, the minister did not dare to say this, and could only look up at Her Majesty the Queen. He was also very curious as to why the Queen wanted to accept these foreigners.

Although Her Majesty the Queen supports intermarriage between the Han people and other ethnic groups, this is also for the sake of stability under her rule in the north. After all, after hundreds of years in the north, the Han and other ethnic groups have long since merged into one and are indistinguishable from each other.

If you want to really distinguish them, at least half of the people have problems.

However, the Khitan people are currently a real alien race.

"Because I need the land where you live." Facing the puzzled looks of the two men, Leah said directly.

"You want our land?" The two were stunned. What was so good about their land?

"Yes, I need the land in your area, and to keep that land, I need people, so you can't migrate."

"So you Han people are the same as the Rouran people! You want us to keep fighting for you and let us survive in such a harsh environment just to ensure our combat effectiveness. Damn it! If we don't obey, you will exterminate us."

After hearing what Leah said, one of the big men immediately said excitedly.

"We shouldn't have come here. Whether you are Han or Rouran, you are all the same! You don't treat us as human beings at all. You are just tools for your conquest! As for the life and death of us Khitans, you don't care at all!"

Seeing the other party's excitement, Leah did not answer, but just watched quietly, waiting for the other party to finish venting before speaking.

"You are wrong. We are different from the Rouran people. Since I have accepted you, I will treat you as Han people. I will let you intermarry with Han people, teach you Han culture, and even teach you how to farm, until you will completely become part of the Han people."

"If that's the case, then why still..." The big man looked puzzled.

"Didn't I tell you that I need that piece of land, so you don't have to move. Although you said that you can move your entire family here, there will definitely be a large number of casualties among the elderly, the weak, women and children during the migration, so I don't recommend you to move."

Things are different now than in modern times. If such a large group of people migrate and walk on mountainous terrain, serious problems will arise. Leah doesn't want this to happen.

Chapter 131: Does Your Majesty like women?

"But in that case..." Although Leah gave an explanation, the big man still wanted to say something.

"Don't worry. Since I am willing to accept you, I will naturally send troops to protect you. But you must also abide by the rules of the Han people. In the future, you must speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and read Chinese books. Let the name of Khitan disappear in history. As long as you agree, I will accept you and migrate some Han people to your place."

Liya said directly.

Send 10,000 soldiers over there, and relocate tens of thousands of people there to cultivate the land. Within a few decades, the Khitans will disappear from this land. After a hundred years, as the two ethnic groups intermarry more and more, this area will basically be populated by Han people.

The two looked at each other and nodded, saying to Leah, "We agree."

For the Khitan people at present, the most important thing is to survive.

"Then let's make a deal. We'll send soldiers to protect you, and you can't cause trouble. And you have to treat those who migrate over as your own people, and you can't be xenophobic. If I knew this, we would take action against you, got it?" Leah said directly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Now that we have surrendered to you, we will abide by the rules you set. It will be fine as long as you treat us as Han people." The two nodded.

"So now, can you tell me your identity in Khitan?" asked Leah.

The two big men looked at each other and introduced themselves to Liya: "Your Majesty, our names are Atulu and Atum. We are the eldest and second sons of our Khitan chieftain."

"I see." Leah nodded. It was pretty much what she guessed.

Atulu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to it."

"What's the matter?" Leah looked at the other party curiously.

"Um... Is your majesty just fond of women as others say? Otherwise, why would your majesty, who is a woman, have a queen?"

As soon as Aturu said this, the eyes of everyone in the court changed immediately.

Good fellow, you are indeed a barbarian. You dare to ask such a question? Even though we all know this in our hearts, we dare not say it!

Can the matter between His Majesty and the Queen be spoken out directly? It's OK that he likes the girl, but they are sisters, and this already involves ethics.

It is said that the princess named Long Luxin in the palace now, who is being taken care of by the empress dowager, is the biological child of His Majesty and the Queen, but no one knows how they got the baby.

Or is this a royal secret?

Although I don't know where this news came from, even if I know that the two of them are in that kind of relationship, I can't say it out loud without His Majesty's announcement.

Of course, this is just a matter of the emperor's personal morality, and it really means nothing to him.

Personal morality is personal morality, which does not absolve Leah of the contributions she has made to China.

Therefore, if an emperor's achievements are great, then his personal morality can be covered up, and no one will care too much about it, or talk about these topics specifically.

Of course, if you have no merits and have poor personal morality, then this emperor will definitely be scolded.

Now this Khitan man directly raised the issue of the emperor's personal morality.

The ministers were shocked but also interested. How would our wise and powerful queen respond? They were really curious about whether the rumors in the palace were true.

"That's right, we have the kind of relationship you think, so what?" Before Leah could speak, Morgan leaned on her, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her face, with a charming look on his face.

This is a complete declaration to everyone that the two of them are in that kind of relationship.

Unexpectedly, Morgan was so bold. Liya blushed and slapped Morgan's hand away. She coughed softly and asked the people below, "Even if that's the case, what do you want to say?"

"Um... Didn't His Majesty say that we should intermarry? Our tribe needs a guarantee. I have a younger sister. I wonder if His Majesty can...

However, before Aturu could finish his words, a cold snort came from above: "Humph! You are a Khitan, and you actually want to send someone to the palace. Do you believe that I can make her die on the way to Chang'an?"

Morgan looked at Aturu with a cold expression, his eyes full of murderous intent. The entire court was like falling into an ice cellar, and everyone was shivering with cold.

Judging from Aturu's words, he obviously wants to send his sister to the palace. Isn't this trying to snatch women from Morgan? This is simply a suicidal act!

If it wasn't true that it would be beneficial for the Khitans to join their Wu Kingdom, she would have lost her temper on the spot.

Morgan's words directly frightened the two brothers Aturu.

Why is this woman so scary? In the Han country, even if she is the queen, isn't she not allowed to interfere in the emperor's affairs?

"Let's forget about this matter. If you really want to intermarry with us Han people, you can choose among my subjects. If they are willing, I will grant you a marriage. As for me, I am just a woman and should not delay your sister." Leah waved her hand and let the matter go.

Perhaps in the eyes of these Khitans, no relationship is more useful than the bond of being married.

But my sister is very jealous. Didn’t you see that she is even fighting for me with her own clone?

If she really took a concubine, not only would her relationship with Morgan be in trouble, but she would not be able to protect the concubine who was sent to her. She might die inexplicably one day.

However, because of this Khitan man, her affair with the imperial sister is now known to everyone.

For Morgan, this is the result she wants. Only in this way can everyone realize again that her relationship with Leah is not just that of sisters.

And if Liya really took someone else's girl as her concubine, then if all the other races followed suit, wouldn't Liya have to take them in too?

So this kind of thing must never start with her, otherwise she will suffer in the future.

There is nothing wrong with her liking girls, but it also requires mutual affection. A forced marriage is not a happy one. Moreover, it is not clear whether the other party's sexual orientation is normal. If she gets married and ends up getting herself into trouble, won't she be the one who is unlucky?

Hearing this, Aturu's expression was a little gloomy, but Her Majesty the Queen was a woman after all, and this matter could not be viewed according to common sense. Just as Her Majesty the Queen said, it was not impossible for his sister to marry the minister here.
