After a period of time, the King of Qufu City was no longer on the city gate tower, but in the hall where King Lu used to meet foreign ministers. Ji Congyou Gao was in the main seat, Li Huai served in the book, and several roles such as Han generals and eunuchs were listed in the hall.

As the announcement sounded after the sound of the news outside the hall, from far to near, Ji Congyou couldn't help but sigh, how many years have the royal family of Lu not been in charge of themselves as their masters to meet foreign ministers here?

Although in the past, Xiao Guang and other leaders of the aristocratic families would have pasted a layer of papers to allow King Lu to meet foreign envoys here as the king, that's what he is like. In this hall, King Lu has always been a puppet.

What really determines the attitude of Lu towards the outside world is Xiao, Wang, Lin and other heads of aristocratic families. This time, it is truly the one who belongs to Ji Congyou who is in charge of the family.

Not to mention that Ji Congyou has complicated thoughts and many thoughts, those who can be in this hall, whether they act as face-to-face generals, eunuchs, etc., have long been loyal to Ji Congyou. These inner ministers are quite excited, some more excited than Ji Congyou.

When the news broke out again, the group of three people had already entered the hall under the eunuch outside the door. The leader was a young man of thirty years old. Even though his skin was a little dark when he ran to the sea, he still couldn't hide his domineering and power.

"Foreign minister Ding Zhenwu, pay homage to His Highness, King Lu."

The young man who led the head and his neither humble nor arrogant worship ceremony immediately cheered up Ji Congyou up and laughed, "Ding Zhenwu? Haha, I didn't expect that the rich merchant in my Qufu was actually Prince Jiu of Liu."

"Your Highness Ninth needs no politeness. You and I are both Chinese descendants and are from the royal family. I admire Your Highness Ninth for a long time."

The State of Lu was established for more than 300 years. Before Li Yuanshu and others came into contact with the immortal relationship, the royal family had been a paper card with no sense of existence or authority. After more than 200 years, the royal power was still very stable. The reason was very simple. When the royal power of Liu was about to decline and lose, two tyrants were released and the royal power was revived.

This matter really depends on luck. For example, when Su Heng first arrived, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had only mastered the 30,000 imperial guards. He was repeatedly suppressed in the struggle with gentry and nobles, and in the struggle with capital upstarts.

When the imperial power declined, a few people who had poor abilities were declining step by step. In contrast, when the Great Shang Empire had a strong lord in times of crisis, it was only when Su Heng came to a stable imperial power.

Whether your next generation heir has sufficient capabilities is indeed one of the key factors for whether a country will prosper again. For example, if the State of Zhao had not intervened, He Jian, who is 31 years old, would probably eventually crush Jiang Shiwu to death, and incorporate Gao Zhen, making Zhao the new ocean overlord.

The tyrants of the Liu Kingdom in Zhongxing are one of the grandfathers of the current ninth prince Ding Zhenwu. The other one is even further away...

They are also from the royal family among the Chinese Miao Seedlings, but to be honest, before Li Yuanshu came to Qufu, Ji Congyou, the King of Lu, and Ding Zhenwu, His Highness Liu Guojiu, were completely different from those of the same level.

Ding Zhenwu is a left prime minister of Lu like Xiao Guang and one of the real masters of Lu. When facing each other, he should be polite and kind to His Highness Ding Family Jiu.

Why? Why is the head of the Xiuyan King Tang, who was before Xiuyanzhou, may not be as glorious as the current King Liu, but Tang is just the younger brother of Xiao Guang's Xiao family circle. The head of the Xiao family must be polite when facing His Highness Liu Guojiu?

The reason is very simple. Liu Guo is not rich enough. The total area of ​​the total plains of all archipelagoes is smaller than that of Xiuyan Prefecture Plain. The total population is only more than one million, which is not as good as that of Xiuyan Prefecture...

When talking about glory, wealth, pleasure, etc., Tang Qianrang of the Tang family is better than Liu Wang Ding Yongzhi, but when talking about force... he is the leader of a profit-making robber group.

Still a guy with a word!

The former Xiuyan King Tang of Xiuyan Prefecture can easily pull out tens of thousands of private soldiers, but Ding Yongzhi, the leader of Liu State, has 100,000 troops under his name!

Is it weird? Nearly one-tenth of the population within a country is soldier? It's not weird at all, because the Liu State is the whole nation, and the older generation plunders all over the world with the leader. They don't touch the country composed of Chinese seedlings, but only attack the country composed of Roman descendants, and robbed them for half of their lives?

Your children and grandchildren have grown up and continue to plunder the world with the new generation of leaders.

The whole country of Liu State, only the elderly, weak, women and children, will do some farming and build tasks such as restoration of armor and swordsmanship. The strong men are all guys who fly on boats and conquer cities and ponds on land all year round.

Such a Liu Kingdom was destined to be filled with bloodthirsty in his bones. In fact, Liu Kingdom even publicly recruited strong men from other countries, and could not survive. He liked to take risks, or occupied the mountains and became kings, and became enemies in the sea? Was he attacked by the official?

It doesn’t matter, I’ll join us Liu Guolai, and the leader will take you to continue to carry forward this glorious profession. Then you will be a serious officer and soldier.

Such a Liu State adheres to the basic national policy of not robbing the Chinese seedlings. Its positioning is also deeply appreciated and loved by marine countries such as Lu and Zhao.

There is no way to dislike it. Such a Liu State does not have strong production capacity and is entirely robbed. The robbed wealth can only be sold to Lu State, Zhao State, etc. for food, cloth, swords, guns, armor, etc. Then, Liu State is equivalent to the younger thugs of Lu State, Zhao State, etc.

Is robbery a huge profit? In fact, taking the rear, controlling productivity, building Liu State into a dumping market for countries such as Lu State, Zhao State, etc., will not be less profitable to the latter than robbery.

Therefore, the powerful King Liu, Ding Yongzhi, seems to be similar to the Tang family in terms of power and wealth. In fact, his deterrence is far superior to the Tang family. With 100,000 naval and army troops in hand, he is an old man within the country and an old thug who has survived for decades. This makes it impossible for everyone to ignore Ding Yongzhi's right to speak.

Ding Yongzhi's greatest luck is that he has a good father. The previous generation of King Liu was able to revive the dynasty that was destroyed and became a prosperous tyrant.

Therefore, even if Ding Yongzhi is a middle-aged man, he is only a successful ruler, and has done well in the past few decades. However, Ding Yongzhi is also very lucky. After giving birth to a bunch of sons, several of his sons were famous for their traditional wolf-raising strategies.

The Ninth Prince Ding Zhenwu is one of them. His most glorious battle was that he led dozens of large ships and 20,000 navy four years ago, and killed 30,000 navy in one battle. The other party was almost wiped out, and the Ninth Prince only lost one more horse.

In this era, naval battles are often the era when everyone is separated by hundreds of meters, and you are bombarding me and I am bombing you. The artillery level is not good, and it may take half a day to hit you and have few results.

Just last time, the Xiao family caravan fought a great victory with a group of artillery kings borrowed from Da Shang. The Liu Kingdom did not have so many artillery soldiers in the Shang Empire. It was really enough to spread the world if it could do such a battle.
