Ming Zuo

Facing the pressing force of the Mughal Empire, the Ahom Kingdom suffered terribly from top to bottom.

In this case, a behemoth is willing to help, how can the Kingdom of Ahom not hold on tightly?

The main thing is that this new behemoth has no interest in annexing the kingdom of Aholm.

After Zhou Zezhi left, Su Yafa's cold heart became hot.

He hurriedly looked for the Dai people from the southwest, wanting to know more about the situation and what it would be like to become a vassal state of the empire.

After understanding, Su Yafa, Gangda and the others were thrilled.

Just because there is no price to pay for becoming a vassal state of the empire, and the empire treats the vassal state very well.

As mentioned by people from Nanzhang Kingdom, a large number of people from Nanzhang Kingdom are now going to work in the southwestern part of the empire, and they have really made a lot of money.

The emerging empire treated these outsiders equally and did not treat them harshly.

In addition, the empire is already studying and preparing to unite with the Nanzhang Kingdom to build a through road.Once completed, Nanzhang Kingdom will no longer be isolated from the outside world, and will accept the influence of the empire's development faster.

As for the Dai people in the empire, they all lived a new life.

They are no longer bullied by other ethnic groups, they can live and move freely, and receive new education.

Among the Dai people, some joined the army, which immediately brought great improvement to the family.So much so that today's Dai people are proud of joining the army, eager to achieve a qualitative leap.

In particular, some imperial commodities brought by the Dai people opened Su Yafa and others' eyes and realized their value.

They couldn't help but think how great it would be if they could build a road connecting Ahaom to the empire and open the door to do business with the empire!
So after Zhou Zezhi came back again, Su Yafa formally represented the Kingdom of Ahaom and requested to become a vassal state of the empire before conveying Hou Xun's meaning.

Everything went so smoothly, but Zhou Zezhi had to travel thousands of miles back and forth in just one month, but the results were remarkable.

Seeing the opening of the situation, Hou Xun didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly made an appointment with Claude, David, Gomez, and Rajsingh II, and sent people to contact Siam, Nanzhang, and Burma, asking them to send plenipotentiary ambassadors, Joint visit to Ahom.

"Once we do this, the Tianzhu people will definitely not be able to calm down and will definitely resort to force."

Claude has been operating in Tianzhu for a long time, and has a deep understanding of the nature of Tianzhu people.

"Isn't this exactly what we need? If the Tianzhu people stand still, how can we get enough benefits?"

What Hou Xun said, in exchange for everyone's satisfied laughter.

Ahom is now a piece of bait.

A piece of bait that made Tianzhu lose his morality and the famous projects of various countries.

Siam, Nanzhang, Myanmar and other countries were all very excited when they received Hou Xun's note.

The suzerain country is willing to take them to play together, but also to reap benefits, which was unimaginable before.

So the missions of the three countries came to Ceylon soon.

In this way, Hou Xun gathered enough missions from eight countries, and the lineup was very spectacular.

Under the escort of the navy, the eight-nation mission officially visited the Kingdom of Ahom.

This movement can be described as shaking the earth.

The Tianzhu people got the news soon.

The grand occasion when the eight-nation mission entered the capital, the Tianzhu people had a premonition that something was wrong.

"His Royal Highness, we need an explanation. As a vassal state of Tianzhu, why didn't Ahaomu inform us of such a major event?"

Sekrahim, the special envoy sent by Tianzhu to Ahaomu, broke into the palace aggressively and questioned Su Yafa.

Sekrahim's uncle was a famous general from India. In 1615, he defeated the kingdom of Ahom and forced the kingdom of Ahom to cede a large area of ​​land.

Therefore, after he was sent here, he was very arrogant, acting like the emperor of the ether, and wantonly interfering in Ahaomu's affairs.

For this person, Su Yafa has long hated him to the bone.

It's just that he was helpless in the past, but now...

"Ahaom has never been a vassal state of Tianzhu, and we have never forgotten Tianzhu's harm to Ahaomu. Come, drive this arrogant invader out."

Sekrahim was stunned.

When did Su Yafa become so brave?

It's a pity that the guards of the palace only listened to Su Yafa, and cut him out before he continued to growl.

If Sekrahim still doesn't understand, it must be the new eight-nation mission to support Ahaom.

How dare an ignorant and weak person defy the will of the Mughal Empire!
Sekrahim did not dare to neglect, and quickly sent someone to send the situation here to the hands of the deputy king of Bengal, Mir Jumlah.

Jumrah, the de facto ruler of Bengal, has been responsible for the infiltration of Ahhaom.

At this time, he learned that there were foreign forces backing Ahhaom and intending to fight against the Mughal Empire, and he burst into anger on the spot.

"Send someone to inform Su Yafa that he must immediately apologize to the great king of Tianzhu and drive away the so-called mission. Otherwise, he will feel the thunderous wrath of Tianzhu."

The actions of the Tianzhu people have not yet spread to Ahaomu.

On Ahaomu's side, Su Yafa and other monarchs and ministers had a very pleasant exchange with the eight countries' missions.

Unlike the previous Ming Dynasty, the empire did not require vassal states to pay tribute, and did not require diplomatic rights to be granted by the empire.

Relatively speaking, being a vassal state of the empire is relatively free.

The biggest requirement of the empire is that the vassal state must be fully open to the empire in terms of economy and trade, and always maintain the greatest preferential tariffs.

This kind of thing is not a problem at all for today's imperial vassal state.

After all, each vassal state is still an agricultural country, and its own industry and commerce are very weak, even if it wants to maintain local industries, there is no need for that.

On the contrary, the entry of rich imperial goods can bring huge benefits to the mainland.

The second is that the Kingdom of Ahom allowed the Empire to garrison troops.

Hou Xun also made it very clear that the purpose of the garrison was to help the Kingdom of Ahom resist the aggression of the Mughal Empire, and at the same time help the Kingdom of Ahom to train the army.

The National Defense Forces who came with the mission only performed a show, and Su Yafa, Gangda and others immediately accepted this condition wholeheartedly.

And their bodies are quite straight, and finally they are no longer afraid of Tianzhu people.

In addition to the empire, other countries have also reaped enough benefits in Ahom.

The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Portugal have the same economic and trade rights as the empire, and they are actually the largest market they have opened in Asia.

Siam, Burma, Nanzhang and Ahaomu can also complement each other in many ways. Under the auspices of Hou Xun, they began to discuss the establishment of a Southeast Asian economic cooperation organization, and they are ready to join hands to do business with the outside world.

Anyway, now with the backing of the empire, they no longer have to worry about being infiltrated and invaded by Western colonists, but they can still make money and make a fortune. Why not do it?
The situation where only the Tianzhu people were injured was quickly achieved!
