Chapter 216: The Restoration Comes

Outside the palace, undercurrents surge.

For a time, the news that the Queen of the Great Yuezhi gave birth became a hot news for the royal court. People who knew the truth looked strange, while ordinary people ignored these things. They talked a lot and showed joy.

"Queen Xuan ordered that, fortunately, the God of Heaven was favored by the gods, and he was given a son of the God of the Great Yuezhi. To celebrate this matter, he would be forgiven for the whole world and exempt him from a year's tax."

Wow, people are even happier.

They all expressed their most loyal blessings to the prince one after another.

The entire Lan Family City is decorated with lights and colorful, which is very lively.

Da Qiequ was wearing light armor, holding his knees with his hands, sitting on the steps beside him, slapped the sword in his hand in front of his feet, and his eyes hidden behind the gray-red mask showed a complicated expression.

She seemed to be remembering something.

The whole palace was also full of joy, and she looked a little aggrieved at this time.

“Daqiu.”

The weak voice of a female soldier came from the side.

Daqiuto didn't look back, and said, "What's wrong?"

"We have already prepared as you told me, and we are about to get started."

Daqiu Ao sounded, very plain.

No matter what, Li Muzhi is the prince's biological father, and the queen has ordered someone to report the good news.

Da Qiequ turned around and stood up slowly.

He slowly walked to the female soldier, his expression was cold, which scared the female soldier a little at a loss.

"Tell him yourself that if one day he betrays His Highness the Queen, I will kill him with my own hands."

"Did you understand?"

In the moment, a strong murderous aura emerged from Daqiu's body. The female soldier was shocked. She reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes."

"Okay, then go."

Da Qiqu waved his hand and walked into the palace without looking back, leaving only the dazed female soldiers.

There is a unique smell in the palace.

That is the unique taste of pregnant women after giving birth.

Daqiqu put down his sword weapon and walked to the bed.

The Queen of the Great Yuezhi's face was rosy at this time, no longer as pale as she had just given birth to a child. The Queen of the Great Yuezhi held the divine book in her hand and kept muttering.

Daqiu did not dare to cross, so he stood quietly aside.

“Daqiu.”

The Queen of the Great Yuezhi suddenly said.

Da Qiqu immediately became excited and looked at the queen. At this time, the queen got rid of the love between children. Her narrow eyes shone with the light of wisdom, and her red lips opened: "What's the matter with my brother?"

If you are not able to solve the problem, don’t you lose the Xihou?

She looked at His Highness the Queen with some confusion, not understanding why His Highness the Queen cared about Xiumi Xihou. Originally, Xiumi Xihou had always opposed reforms, especially when the local tribes were weakened, he strongly opposed it.

Later, for some reason, a tremendous change occurred and he became a person who actively supported the change.

The Queen of the Great Yuezhi said with slightest thoughts: "You must be careful of others."

She looked down at the prince with the stroller beside her.

A trace of decision flashed in his eyes.

Anyone who wants to take her children and ascend to the throne is her enemy, even if this person is her brother, it cannot be.

According to the records of the divine book, if you don’t have any mistakes, you will be rebelled.

Although there was no sign at this time, it was better to prepare early, so the Queen of the Great Yuezhi secretly discussed with Daqiqu, and whispers came from the palace.

......

Yanji Castle.

The border is located in the Fariab Province, which is now Afghanistan.

A group of resting men came, wearing V-shaped tops, tightly tied with belts, and then loose folded pants fixed with garters, and most importantly, they had short hair.

They came for a crisis.

The starting point of this crisis originated in the East. Due to the westward migration of the Great Yuezhi people, a large-scale nomadic group migration swept across most of Central Asia.

The Scythian tribe, coaxed and driven away by the Great Yuezhi people, is the so-called Scythians in a large-scale concept, rushed out of the grassland pasture where they originally lived.

Although he suffered a head-on blow from the Great Yuezhi.

But they did not give up, but turned their guns and turned to rest.

They maneuvered along the trade route, attacking the settled agricultural areas near Anxi, and if the city they faced was insufficient, they would rush forward and attack and burn it immediately.

If you are well prepared, you will temporarily retreat after storming the countryside and wait until you have the chance to make a comeback.

Anxi has been affected by this turmoil since Zhang Qian left the Great Yuezhi one year ago. They had just forced to retreat to Seleucus and had to bite the bullet to meet their new opponents.

They hired Greeks.

As a result, Greek mercenaries turned against each other, and King Aldaban I died on the spot...

Very miserable.

Now it is Mitridati II who ascended the throne.

As a descendant of the Northern Conqueror, he understood the dangers of the Eastern nomadic forces very well. After all, his ancestors also started with similar techniques.

Therefore, when the Parthians, including him, looked at the Scythians and the Yuezhi people, they seemed to see their past selves. Of course, they were unwilling to be subverted by the same method.

What should I do?

Reform, make efforts to reform.

In order to effectively counterattack the opponents and ensure the long-term stability of the empire, Mitridati II made drastic reforms to the entire Parthia. This included political and economic adjustments, and also made a decision that greatly changed the appearance of the army.

Since the Parthians were nomadic descendants from the north and south, they were largely out of place with the indigenous peoples of the empire. Among them were the descendants of Greek colonists, urban nobles influenced by Greek culture, and local snake figures who uphold the traditional Persian or Mesopotamian culture. Therefore, the rulers before Mitridati always tried their best to suppress the two cultures. But themselves were more or less influenced by the two cultures at the same time, and used one of them to balance the other.

Since the corrosion cannot be removed, Mitrida Ladder began to play the United Front chess:

He changed his predecessors' oppression of Hellenistic cities and actively joined forces with the Westernized nobles in the city, giving autonomy conditions that were not allowed in the past. As long as these cities continue to provide taxes and receive supervision from Parthian officials, they can maintain the lifestyle they want on many levels. In this way, the urban nobles who were regarded as weak by the Parthian nobles no longer seek cooperation with the Seleucid royal family in the West. Instead, they absorbed funds and technology sources for the Parthians.

For the Scythians who were rampant in the eastern region, Mitridati relied on the funds and weapons and technology provided by Greek cities to carry out large-scale military reorganization. In order to allow Greek cities to serve economic construction with peace of mind, he exempted the tradition of large-scale recruitment in the city. He entrusted the front-line war to the Parthian noble cavalry and their vassals. This was undoubtedly a large-scale loss of the Parthian army, and the city people who were busy working and doing business were invited out the army, so as not to think about doing business while carrying out their missions. The new army was basically composed of cavalry units, and the core was the iron-armored cavalry equipped with men and horses. Their position on the ancient battlefield was very similar to the later armored troops.

Then, they launched an attack on Seke.

Unfortunately, it's still a bit difficult.
