C1826 Mysterious invitee (1/2)
Shang Tai and's relationship was very subtle. In terms of righteousness, there was a difference between the king as the ruler of a country and the king of a Subordinate States.
However, in the time of the late Qing, the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and the Subordinate States was extremely fragile and unstable. Subordinate States who had territories next to them were considered relatively stable, but the Ryukyu who was separated from the Great Qing by the sea could only rely on their culture and economic ties to maintain their relationship.
The Great Qing did not have a navy, so other than moving her mouth, there were no other changes that occurred in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
In addition, since Zai Chun was studying in the Bulbus Glazed Island, although his status was high, he also lived here. In the end, the two of them got along very equally, and because they were from the same sect, they got along quite well.
Both of them were inheritances of the ancient feudal dynasty, so the two of them could feel the same confusion and the pressure on their shoulders. Furthermore, they also had the motivation to reform.
It was precisely because of this that the two of them had many common topics to talk about, and the two of them played together quite a lot during that hegemony.
However, their national circumstances were different. One was that the barren island country had been completely annexed by the Chinese, and the other was that the volcanic magma inside the mainland's many dangers were accumulating energy. The lives of the two emperors could only go further and further away.
In the end, Shang Tai kept up with the trend of the times, completely abandoning his past fantasies and pouring himself into the Hidden Dragon Institute. He gave out all of his authority as the king, in exchange for the entire clan's affirmation of his identity as the king, and this kind of affirmation was already written into the Chinese Statute Book s.
The relaxed Shang Tai was about to begin his adventure. His second half of his life was destined to be rich and colorful, destined to be filled with legends. But Zai Chun wasn't so lucky with his Xiao brothers.
No matter what, the Great Qing would not join the Hidden Dragon Institute, the entire Eight Flag Military groups had a huge power, one of them did not want it, the other could not afford to raise these parasites.
Therefore, Zai Chun could only rely on himself, maybe before taking revenge, his master would give him a hand, but after taking action, Xiao Letian's energy and resources would have to be focused on the development of the Chinese people, and at that time, Zai Chun would have to rely on himself to carry such a huge empire.
From a certain point of view, Shang Tai was very worried for Zai Chun. He too well understood the feeling of carrying an entire country on his back.
This child was destined to face an extremely cruel battle, so Shang Tai pitied him.
So during this time, Shang Tai had invited Zai Chun onto his Adventurer King account, and the two of them were happily sailing in the ocean. Shang Tai was using his own method to reduce the pressure on Zai Chun.
Not only was the pressure reduced, but most importantly, Shang Tai felt a very strong sense of guilt towards Zai Chun. He felt that he was very sorry to Zai Chun, because before this European expedition to visit the fleet, Shang Tai had made an extremely difficult decision.
That was ten days before the fleet departed, and it was a thunderous and stormy night. King Shang Tai's personal bodyguard had brought him an invitation, and after the young king finished reading the words on the invitation, he hurriedly moved closer to ignite it in front of the light.
Seeing the black ashes fluttering about like butterflies, he hesitated for a long time before putting on the raincoat and leaving the Shouli City.
The cheap rum s were mixed with the spirit wine imported from the Great Qing, and the smell of the sake produced by Fu Sang mixed together with the smell of the food, the workers' sweat and it stimulated Shang Tai so much that he had to cover his nose.
Although the tavern was small, it had a unique view inside. He walked into the kitchen and walked around the storage room before entering a wall. This was a well-designed wall made of secret passages. It was just a wall from the outside, but one could pass through from the inside.
