Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

Fang Han carefully stroked the soft jade and said softly, "Your father is quite sensible. I won't make things difficult for him. I will just give him the title of Duke of Guiyi."

The main reason was that the ruler of Western Xia was indeed more sensible than the Zhao Song emperor. The Zhao Song emperor basically only had one capital city under his actual control, and was forced to leave the city and surrender because he was at his wit's end. In addition, he had not been involved in governance in the past, so naturally there was nothing to say, and it was impossible for him to be treated preferentially.

But the situation is different for the King of Western Xia. After all, he brought with him a small part of the territory he actually controlled and tens of thousands of troops. He voluntarily gave up his country's name and throne to surrender. In this case, it is really unreasonable not to give him preferential treatment.

certainly......

In fact, Fang Han did not deny that there was a lot of personal feelings involved. With the relationship with Princess Yinchuan, he was like a cheap father-in-law, so he had to be treated well and respected.

but......

This so-called generous treatment and honorable care refers at most to preferential treatment in material life; don’t even think about other aspects.

The title of Duke Guiyi looks good, but it is just an empty title and has no real power.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Li Qinglu's eyes were filled with joy. She struggled slightly to stand up and express her gratitude, but Fang Han held the tender girl tightly in his arms and said, "No need to go through all that formality."

Since this girl was officially canonized and came to the backyard of the imperial palace, she has been serving him with all her heart and has behaved appropriately. Fang Han also likes her very much.

The main thing is the inherited yet unique temperament, indeed...

Very good!

Li Qinglu was grateful in her heart. She had witnessed the prosperity of Daqian on her way south. She knew that facing such a powerful country, it was only a matter of time before the Western Xia Kingdom was defeated and destroyed.

When she learned that Daqian had no intention of stopping the war, she no longer had any hope for the survival of the Western Xia state, and all she thought about was how to seek a pension for her father.

Now that the matter has finally been settled, Li Qinglu felt completely relieved.

Then she felt shy and happy again, and looked at Fang Han with a dazed and infatuated look.

These days, she had close contact with him and had been taken away by him both physically and mentally. However, due to the affairs of Western Xia, she was always weighed down by other things. Although she served him with all her heart, Li Qinglu was still somewhat distracted and anxious.

Now that all worries are gone and there is no more worry or distress, the emotions and love accumulated in my heart are beginning to surge endlessly.

actually......

It's hard not to.

What is Fang Han’s current status?

The ruler of Daqian!

He is like a god in the eyes of the world!

His power is so great that it cannot be described as overwhelming. In the eyes of the people of Daqian, he is like "God"!

Anyone who comes to such an existence must submit and worship it with all their might!

What's more, Fang Han's appearance is very good, and he has an immortal and god-like demeanor and dignity. He is full of majesty and temperament, and his charm is extraordinary!

When Princess Yinchuan faced him, what other possibility was there except her surrender?

I've been in love with you for a long time.

"Your Majesty, let me serve you..." Li Qinglu said quietly with a red face.

Fang Han nodded and closed his eyes slightly to concentrate.

Three days later, the central government of the Daqian court worked out the procedures and officially conferred the title of Duke of Guiyi on Li Qianshun, granting him a royal seal, a mansion, and a salary.

At the grand ceremony, Li Qianshun kowtowed three times and nine times to accept the imperial edict and the imperial seal to show his submission to the righteousness and his loyalty to the Great Qian.

The news quickly spread, and Daqian's treatment of the Xixia ruler had already attracted the world's attention, especially the leaders and high-ranking officials of the Liao and Jin dynasties. They had been beaten back by Daqian's hundreds of thousands of troops, their territory was lost, and they were constantly shrinking. Seeing the danger of overthrow and destruction was not far away, they had to take it into consideration.

The issue of how to deal with the ruler of Western Xia becomes particularly important.

Everyone wants to get a glimpse of Daqian's attitude.

If they were still treated in the same way as the Zhao Song officials, although they would be terrified, they would certainly not be willing to surrender, because abandoning the country and fleeing abroad would be better than this outcome. At least they would still have gold, silver, money and some military power in their hands, and they might be able to rise again and start over somewhere else. But if they were arrested by the Daqian and sent to labor reform, living a life worse than that of ordinary people, then there would be really no need to surrender; and if the King of Western Xia could be treated well, not to mention how much, as long as he could live a tolerable life, then they might not be unable to surrender.

After fighting to this extent, everyone knew that Daqian was invincible! They also knew that Daqian would definitely dominate the world in the future!

so......

As soon as the news that Li Qianshun, the King of Western Xia, was canonized as Duke of Guiyi spread, it instantly attracted forces from all sides.

Especially the Liao and Jin dynasties, which were gradually forced into a desperate situation.

The leaders and top leaders of both countries are well aware that if they continue in this way, there will be no possibility of reversing the situation.

Instead of fighting to the last step and losing all your useful cards and worth, it is better to surrender as soon as possible and get a good ending!

certainly......

It is also impossible for them to surrender immediately.

Just because the Xixia ruler acted like this doesn’t mean they can do the same.

At least the important procedures cannot be wrong. Didn't the Xixia King offer the princess as a tribute? Don't they have a princess? No noble lady?

Of course there is!

As a result, a rare miracle that had never been seen in all dynasties appeared. Various countries presented princesses and noble ladies to Daqian to express their obedience and submission.

Not only the most urgent Liao and Jin countries, but even the Mongolian Yuan forces were interested in this.

In the continuous camp.

The Mongol Khan Temujin was sitting with his horse and sword in his hand, carefully looking at the various letters and secret letters in his hands, with a very complicated expression.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 542 Temujin: Born at the wrong time...

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

Temujin said with emotion:

"Born at the wrong time!"

What does it mean to be born at the wrong time?

Of course, it was because he was born at the wrong time.

We encountered a country like Daqian, which cannot be judged by common sense.

It is really hard to imagine that the force that regarded itself as an insurgent army only half a year ago could become so powerful and reach such a terrifying level in such a short period of time!

You must know that at that time in this land, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was the most powerful, and wherever its troops went, they were invincible!

However, things change, and even a proud man like Temujin had to admit that the power of the Mongols could hardly be compared with that of the Daqian.

It’s better to say, it’s far worse!

This time when they went south to conquer Liao and Jin, although their army did not come into direct contact with the Daqian army in the south, the reconnaissance of small units and various spies still brought back intelligence information involving the Daqian army.

Its extremely powerful combat capability and its brilliant and dazzling achievements made the entire Mongol Yuan Dynasty pale in comparison, leaving 01 speechless.

The gap is indeed too big!

Even if you haven't faced it directly, the terrifying and oppressive feeling can be built up just by relying on intelligence!

That is the momentum of winning every battle and crushing everything in its path!

Any enemy that stands in its way will be torn to pieces. This was the case with the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, the Liao Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty. What about the Mongols?

Can there be an exception?

If you think about it carefully, I'm afraid it won't work.

Even the most arrogant person would not dare to speak out in front of such a powerful army as Daqian.

Especially within the Mongols, the principle of the survival of the fittest and the rule of the strong prevailing was the most followed. Faced with such a powerful and terrifying Daqian, everyone was terrified, but also had awe and respect for him.

Thinking back to the past, Temujin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

When he was in the desert, he heard about the civil unrest and rebellion in the Jiangnan area of ​​the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, he did not pay attention to this rebel force at all. All his thoughts were focused on the turmoil in the Southern Dynasty, the possible actions of the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and his plan for the Mongols to take advantage of the situation. He wanted to take the opportunity to conquer large tracts of land in the south to obtain abundant population, food, gold, silver, and various resources.

However, before he could make complete preparations, intelligence from the south brought shocking news that the southern part of the Song Dynasty was completely affected and in turmoil. At this time, although Temujin was surprised and sighed, and began to pay some attention to the rebel forces, his ideas did not change. Moreover, because of the turmoil in the Song Dynasty, he was happy with this situation. If he, the Mongols, wanted to conquer the world, he naturally needed to slowly accumulate strength. The more chaotic the world was, the better the situation would be for the Mongols.

The only pity is that the Song Dynasty is too far away from the Mongols, with the Liao and Jin countries in between. It is a pity that he cannot send troops to conquer it despite the good situation. Fortunately, the turmoil in the Song Dynasty has affected the hearts of the surrounding countries. The Liao and Jin countries could not wait to send troops to the south. He was naturally overjoyed when he learned the information, and he mobilized troops and raised food and supplies more urgently. However, the situation that followed was something he had never expected.

The Song Dynasty collapsed rapidly under the fierce offensive of the rebels. In only about four months, the rebels transformed themselves into a dragon with the momentum of swallowing up the whole country, officially founded the country and proclaimed themselves emperor. They also launched several armies to the north and completed the great task of overthrowing the Song Dynasty and changing the dynasty in half a year. Then they did not stop for a moment and went to war with Western Xia, Liao and Jin, directly defeated hundreds of thousands of armies, and invaded the territories of the three countries with a crushing force. Western Xia was destroyed in two months. Now Liao and Jin had also been captured with vast tracts of land. Seeing that the events of the Song Dynasty and Western Xia were about to be repeated, how could Temujin not be shocked and sigh?

How unlucky he was to be born at the wrong time!

If there were no Daqian, the Mongols would have been the most powerful force, conquering Liao and Jin, destroying Western Xia, and finally annexing the Song Dynasty. They might have united the world and achieved a feat unprecedented in history!

He, Temujin, will be the most brilliant and wise ruler ever born on the grassland! Even the Eternal Heaven will be watching!

However......

Such ambitions seem to have come to an abrupt end at this moment.

Facing Daqian, Temujin felt as if he was witnessing the mighty power of heaven!

Especially during this period, the various detailed intelligence sent back from the diplomatic missions further intensified this feeling.

Right now, both his Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Daqian Kingdom are conquering the lands of Liao and Jin. Although there has been no contact yet, it seems that the time will not be far away.

How should we deal with ourselves when the time comes?

hostility?

The great military prowess and fierce reputation that Daqian had earned were not easy to deal with.

Moreover, according to Daqian’s usual style, once a war breaks out, it will be a national war!

The Western Xia, Liao, and Jin dynasties are all lessons from the past.

Not to mention that Temujin did not want to be an enemy, even if he really wanted to do so, there would probably be very few people within the Yuan Dynasty who would support this decision.

But is it okay if we don’t become hostile?

I’m afraid that won’t work.

Just as what the little girl Minmin said in the letter she wrote to him, Daqian's intention to seize the world is already clear, and it is not possible to survive by just surrendering.

In the past, the various tribes on the grassland wanted to gain a foothold and to please the Mongols, but they were all annexed and unified one by one, right?

Temujin judged it from his own perspective. If it were him, he would never give up his ambition of conquest just because of a little submission from other countries!

The desire for development that Daqian has shown so far is also obvious to the world!

The Mongols could not stay out of it. They had to either become enemies with 743 Daqian or submit to Daqian completely. There was no other way.

So, as the Great Khan of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, what should Temujin do?

Become an enemy, fight to the death, and then the Mongols will be destroyed? Or submit respectfully, submit, and pay homage in exchange for a glimmer of hope?

Temujin thought and pondered, remaining silent.

After a long time, he slowly exhaled.

"There's no reason for an eagle on the grassland to be afraid without a fight!"

No matter what, let’s fight first!

He had to face the sharp edge of Daqian head-on. The information obtained on paper was ultimately separated by a layer and could not be felt intuitively.

And he wanted to know if Daqian was really that powerful!

It can make the world despair and stop fighting!

If things really cannot be done, then Temujin has nothing to say!

Who on the grassland doesn’t understand the principle that the strong are superior?

Temujin naturally understood it very well.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 543: The Mongol Yuan tribute! Dali's reaction!

but......

Despite this determination, Temujin still summoned his trusted ministers and discussed the matter for a while.

He immediately dispatched an elite force to rush back to the grassland and take Princess Huazheng south.
