Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1015

[Chapter 1015 Suzerain]

“You mean to give up Southeast China?” Goller almost jumped up, “Does the coalition only protect your British interests?

” If you can win in the end, you will be able to get back your southeast China, as well as France’s Luzon and our Australia, otherwise we will all lose our interests in the east.” Wesley retorted loudly.

After hearing this, Gao Leer’s expression changed several times, he hesitated for a while, and then sat down slowly.

Wesley breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone softened a lot.

Looking at the generals of various countries, he said: “The situation is urgent, and we cannot allow any more cracks in our coalition forces. In order to eliminate the Da Song army, we must unite as one.” The

generals nodded one after another.

Britain is currently the most powerful country in the West.

In the coalition, the generals of various countries naturally centered on Britain.

Most importantly, they also agree with Wesley’s statement.

If they give up the fortifications that they have worked so hard to collaborate with during this period, and fight with the Dasong army in Cochin or Pyuman, this is undoubtedly tantamount to giving up their own advantages.

“Everyone, our bright world has been invaded by darkness. Now, each of us shoulders the heavy responsibility of resisting the continued spread of darkness. We will sacrifice our lives for this. Please go back and tell your soldiers that this is the front line. Protect this place as if you were defending your own country.” Wesley suddenly raised his voice again, full of emotion.

“Long live the Western Land!” After

his words fell, a general suddenly shouted.

“Long live the Westlands!” shouted another general.

“Let’s send the Dasong people and their dog king to hell, our Westlands are invincible.” Gao Leer slammed the table.

Now, he can’t wait to swallow all the Dasong troops in Southeast China alive.

Immediately, he thought of something again, and asked, “What about our 8,000 Frank soldiers in Cochin?”

Wesley turned and looked at the map behind him, pointing to the narrow strip in the north of Malacca, and said, “Bring them back, Put it in this position.”

Gao Leer nodded.

This time, there are a large number of Da Song troops going south, and it is impossible for 8,000 Frankish soldiers to resist their advance.

Instead of staying in Jin’ou County and waiting to die, it is better to withdraw and join forces with other coalition forces.

After discussing this matter, Wesley ordered to strengthen the defense on the border with the Pyuman Kingdom, and at the same time dispatched a large number of Tianzhu native troops to the west to fight with the coalition forces.

Although the native armies of Cochin and Pyuman let them down, it was better than nothing.

Furthermore, they have been operating Tianzhu for many years, and they believe that Tianzhu is deeply influenced by Britain and has a bit of British shadow.

This made the aboriginal army of Tianzhu and the British soldiers quite coordinated, and it would certainly not fail like the aboriginal army organized by Frank.

The meeting broke up.

Goller immediately gave orders to the Frankish army in Jin Mau to withdraw through Siam before the Dasong army occupied Southeast China.

When the West-Turk Allied Forces responded, the footsteps of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army did not stop.

The Azure Dragon Army marched all the way south, taking down Jiaozhi cities one by one with almost no effort, and brought them under military control.

The same is true for the Suzaku army, which was destroyed due to the hustle and bustle army.

The whole Pyu barbarian country is very weak, and the cities encountered have no decent resistance at all.

Basically wherever they go, they can bring this place under military control.

At this time, Zhao Xu arrived at Jiaozhi by steamboat and went straight to the royal palace in Hanoi.

Qin Shan got the news and returned immediately.

At this moment, he is in Jin’ou County, and the Azure Dragon Army has captured the entire territory of Jiaozhi.

“Your Highness!”

Back in Hanoi, Qin Shan immediately went to the Cochin Palace.

After King Yan arrived, he rested there.

Seeing Zhao Xu in the main hall, he immediately gave a military salute.

Zhao Xu returned the military salute with a smile on his face, “Thanks for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard.” Qin Shan has a dull temper and speaks truthfully, he smiled, “There is a battle, the soldiers are very happy, and I am grateful to His Highness for giving us This opportunity for the Azure Dragon Army.”

Zhao Xu laughed softly after hearing this, “The soldiers’ fighting spirit is very high, yes, this is just an appetizer, and there will be a big meal soon.”

Qin Shan was excited, “What Your Highness said is Is it the Allied Forces of the Western Lands?”

“Yes.” Zhao Xu nodded.

He has his own reasons for rushing to drive the western natives away from the eastern land.

In his plan, he wants to start with the resources of the entire east and establish a business circle centered on Dasong.

In this business circle, Tianzhu is a very important point.

After all, Tianzhu has a population similar to that of Dasong, so it is not a small market.

But the natives of the West invaded the southern region and Tianzhu, and relying on this place as an outpost fortress, plotting against Da Song, how did he establish a business circle in the East?

However, if the business circle cannot be established for a long time, Dasong’s business will be affected.

On this southern tour, he saw workshops one after another.

These workshop areas are bursting out with huge production capacity.

After satisfying the domestic market, if they do not find a market for them, they will wither like flowers that lack nourishment.

Therefore, he needs a safe and stable region, not a turbulent one.

“Hmph, the last general will definitely make them regret coming to Dongtu.” Qin Shan said coldly.

Zhao Xu patted him on the shoulder, “Let’s not talk about that, before we deal with the Western natives, Jiaozhi, Piaoman, Funan, Nanzhang, and Siam should be stabilized and returned to Dasong.”

Qin Shan nodded.

At present, they are implementing military control over Cochin.

It is no problem to temporarily suppress the Cochin people, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no incidents of Cochin people rebelling against Da Song’s rule in the long run.

It is necessary to think of a long-term method to stabilize the southeast while maximizing Dasong’s interests.

Once, the King of Yan said that Jiaozhi would be included in the territory of Dasong.

As for what kind of inclusion method? He also didn’t understand.

So he said, “I don’t know what your Highness can do to get the best of both worlds.”

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, then smiled, “I’ve thought a lot about this journey south, and I think it should be so for the five countries in the southeast and even the countries in the southern region. Deal with it.”

After a pause, he said: “But generally speaking, this king thinks that you can’t be rough, and that you can achieve your goal by boiling it slowly in warm water.”

Then he told Qin Shan his thoughts.

In contemporary times, the suzerain-vassal relationship established by the Ming Dynasty is actually very successful.

The most successful of these is the relationship between Lee’s Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, bestowed the name of Korea on the country. Since the establishment of a suzerain-vassal relationship between Korea and the Ming Dynasty, it went further than the tributary system.

Since then, the official language of North Korea has been Chinese characters, and the system has also copied the Ming Dynasty. The monarch of North Korea is only called king, not emperor.

The emperors of Ming Dynasty are the real emperors, they are equivalent to vassal kings and vassal states.

This is the suzerain.

Therefore, he is also preparing to establish such a relationship with the five southeastern countries and even the countries in the southern region.

Dasong only establishes the garrison supervision of the Protectorate, and the internal affairs are managed by their own people, so as to avoid increasing the governance cost of Dasong.

At the same time, apart from Dasong, all countries in the East can only be called kings, not emperors.

Dasong will exist as the suzerain state of all countries, and other countries will be vassal states. Emperor Dasong will be regarded as the only emperor, just like Li Shimin’s title of Tian Khan.

This is also the same reason that the Commonwealth countries respect the Queen of Britain as the only queen.

But this is not imitation, but the characteristics of Dongtu.

After establishing this system, he will promote the Dasong cultural system in the vassal circle, use his influence to improve civil relations, and bring the vassal state closer to Dasong.

When the time is right, the vassal states of Jiaozhi, which are originally the territory of Dasong, will be merged into Dasong.

As for why not all merged into Dasong?

The reason is also very simple. Governing the country requires costs, and you need to be responsible if you are in trouble.

Take it in, and the poor place asks you for money and food, will you give it?

If you don’t give it, you will cause trouble and rebel, and then you have to counter the rebellion.

The self-government of the vassal state is simple, you can eat dirt or meat, or the head of the country is a dog’s brain, even if you change the leader, you only need to submit to Da Song, and nothing else matters.

Therefore, it is better to allow these countries to be self-governing and at the same time subordinate to Dasong, so as to achieve a balanced state of maximizing interests.
