Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chengdu, Chu Palace.

At the beginning, when Kou Feng ascended the throne, he was called the Son of Chu.The royal palace is still very simple, but at this moment it already has the aura of a royal palace.At least, there has been a big breakthrough on the outer city wall. The high palace wall has formed a small inner city.

Although Kou Feng didn't have much interest in enjoyment, Chengdu was not a place to build a royal palace.But for their own protection, they are very concerned.

Only with a tall palace wall can it have a better defensive effect.

This day, the sky was very dark, and it was raining continuously.

"Spring."

In the palace where the Queen of the Chu Palace lived, Kou Feng stood in the corridor, looked at the sky, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the ten southern countries have arrived." Kou Shui came to Kou Feng's side and said.

"En." Kou Feng nodded, turned and walked into the bedroom.In the dormitory, Cai Da and some maids are getting ready.Mianguan, Mianfu.

"Get dressed." Kou Feng instructed Cai Da.

"Yes." Cai Da promised, and ordered the maids to dress Kou Feng.Under the costumes of the court ladies, Kou Feng soon took on a whole new look.

The symbol of the Son of Heaven, the crown of twelve beads, and the majestic crown.

Kou Feng at this moment is the emperor of Chu State who is aloof.

"Go." After finishing dressing, Kou Feng came outside the palace and ordered Kou Shui who was standing by.

"Promise." Kou Shui promised, and the guard Kou Feng walked towards the palace hall.

The so-called ten countries in the south are the five countries in the south, the sixteen countries established after several months of fighting.At the beginning, there were 21 forces in the south.

Yelang was arrogant and wanted to compete with Chu State for Dali City.Kou Feng ordered the killing of the rulers and leaders of the five kingdoms and six tribes.Then, with Zhuge Liang as his envoy, he led the remaining ten chiefs to carve up all the land in the south.

The condition for Chu's support is to gather the wealth of the five kingdoms and six tribes killed by Kou Feng.Some time ago, according to Zhuge Liang's good news, the ten chiefs had successfully divided up the south, established ten countries, and sent their sons or brothers to Chengdu to beg for protons.

And with it came great wealth.

Now, because of the problem of the armor needed by the 30-poundering army, Chu's finances have changed from ample to a little tight. [-] gold.

Moreover, there are still two months left for the technology of using books and the title of Grand Master to attract businessmen to raise funds.During this time, if something major happens.

There may be some problems with Chu's resilience.

Therefore, this batch of wealth is timely rain for Chu State.

Today is the day when the envoys of the ten countries arrived.

Soon, Kou Feng arrived at the edge of the main hall, entered from a side room, and then passed some roads to a small room at the back of the main hall.

When Kou Feng arrived in the small room, a servant had already walked out first.

"The Son of Heaven is here." In the sharp voice of the servant, Kou Feng came out from the small room behind, which is the main hall, on the left side of the throne.

Then he walked towards the throne step by step.During this process, Kou Feng frowned slightly, the servant, that is, the eunuch.Kou Feng had a little hesitation about using the servant.

Because Kou Feng felt that it was a bit too much.However, on this point, Jiang Wan was very firm, no, all the civil and military ministers were very firm.

Kou Feng also used an irrefutable reason, if the palace people and servants are in chaos, the Tian family will be in chaos.To put it simply, if the servants are not used, and the maid and the man communicate, the blood will be messed up.

Although Kou Feng can guarantee that all his women are loyal, he cannot guarantee the next generation, the next generation.Therefore, the use of servants is a relatively helpless problem, but it must be implemented.

However, even though he agreed, Kou Feng was a little unnatural to the servant.That's why Kou Feng frowned.

"Foreign ministers have seen Emperor Chu."

In the main hall, ten people sat upright and saluted Kou Feng. It was very standard Han family etiquette, and even the words were in Chinese.

Kou Feng raised his head and looked at the ten people.

The frown that Ben frowned immediately relaxed.Last time, when Kou Feng met the so-called lords and leaders of the sixteen tribes of the five kingdoms, they were dressed in standard barbarian attire.

But at this moment, these envoys have already kept their hair in buns and put on Han Chinese costumes.Kneeling and sitting is also a model.

A weak country will always be affected by a strong country.Now the strength of Chu State will definitely make those small countries of the man feel fear.

But on the other hand, they are eager to become as powerful as Chu State.Therefore, they will learn everything about Chu, clothing, language, culture and so on.

But for Chu, this change is also a good thing.When culture invades an enemy country, it is the beginning of Sinicization.After decades or hundreds of years, those small countries in the south will be like the Han people.

Language and culture are interlinked.

It is also beneficial for the successor king to carry out the conquest.

Of course, Kou Feng was delighted with this change.

"Hmm." Kou Feng hummed and nodded to these envoys' visit.Immediately, he said to the servant next to him, "Where's the translation?"

Kou Feng knew that these people were already good enough to speak Chinese, and it would be a dream to have a simple conversation with him.At critical moments, translation is still needed.

The reactions of these ten people also confirmed Kou Feng's guess. After Kou Feng hummed, the faces of these envoys were either blank or pale.

I don't understand what it means, but I feel that the Kou Feng worn by the standard emperor is extremely majestic.I feel uneasy.

"Master Chen is already waiting outside the hall."

The waiter replied.

"Come in."

Kou Feng nodded and said.

"promise."

After the internal waiter made a promise, he immediately called out: "Xuan servant Chen Fei entered the palace."

Before the words were finished, a middle-aged man walked in from the door.His appearance is not good, and his complexion is a bit dark. From his appearance, he can be seen as a person who has lived in the environment of the south all year round.

This is Fade Chen, an ordinary translator who doesn't even have a formal official position, barely considered a servant.

"Meet Your Majesty."

As soon as Fade Chen entered the hall, he bowed to Kou Feng.

"En." Kou Feng nodded, and then, he glanced around. Among these envoys, many people were still pale, full of apprehension, and even fear.

Can't help but said: "Tell them first, Gu didn't blame them. Don't worry."

"Promise." Fade Chen promised, immediately turned around, and chattered to the ten envoys for a while.

The ten envoys were obviously relieved.His face regained his composure, but his gaze towards Kou Feng was still filled with awe.

Kou Feng's guess is correct, these ten countries are full of fear of Chu.

Although the days when the sixteen ministries of the five southern countries fought against each other are over, the establishment of ten countries has brought a certain degree of stability and even prosperity.

The influence of each country has also increased greatly.But the establishment of these ten countries is inseparable from Zhuge Liang's wisdom.Zhuge Liang's wisdom played a pivotal role in this process.

Let the top leaders of these countries understand that Chu is not only strong in military strength, but also in wisdom.Therefore, they unconsciously learned the culture, dress, language and so on of the Han people.

While Chen Fei was translating, Kou Feng picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the case.This scroll of bamboo slips entered Chengdu with envoys from many countries, and it is the official document of Zhuge Liang.

The above is a brief introduction to the current ten countries in the South.

Although the South claims to be ten countries with a population of more than 200 million, there are actually only two forces left, which are a multinational alliance composed of six countries.The dominant player in the alliance is Thailand, with a population of about 120 million.

The other is also a multinational alliance composed of four countries, with a population of about 100 million.The largest country among them is Qingguo.

The two forces are neither hostile nor friendly.

Kou Feng was surprised when he saw the word Thailand.However, it didn't get too deep into it.The situation in Southeast Asia should be completely changed now.

It doesn't matter what country appears.

As long as the cultural invasion is successful, the road construction is successful, and the exchanges between the two places will be frequent.What Southeast Asia may be the territory of the Han people hundreds of years later.

Of course, it's only possible, what Kou Feng did was to plant the seeds.Success or failure depends on the king of future generations.

In addition to briefly introducing the two forces, Zhuge Liang also briefly introduced two people in the official document.One of them was the eldest son of the king of Thailand, named Taito.

The other one is the prince of Qing Kingdom, named Qing Ao.

Both are the heirs of the two countries. Under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, they were sent by their respective kings and stayed in Chengdu as hostages.

Kou Feng understood this at a glance.This was the practice during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If it was an alliance or a country with a vassal relationship, it would send a prince as a hostage.

And when the vassal of a country died, the prince of a foreign country, with the support of the foreign country, returned to his country and became a vassal.That foreign country has a great influence on this country.

Zhuge Liang's intention should be to let him make good use of these two princes.For example, to instill Chu's culture and ideas into them.It also deeply made them understand the strength of Chu State.

Only when they realize the strength of Chu State, can they be deeply awed and dare not resist after returning to the country to succeed to the throne.

In addition, Zhuge Liang also explained a very important matter for the current state of Chu.That is, the ten countries promised that after annexing other countries, they would order the wealth left by those countries to be escorted into the Chu country.

As a reward for Chu State to send troops to intervene.According to Zhuge Liang's calculation, it is worth about [-] gold.It is some precious stones, ivory, gold and silverware and so on.

One hundred thousand gold.

Seeing the number of words, Kou Feng's eyes lit up, and there is really no need to worry about the armor.However, Zhuge Liang did not write down the specifics.

Instead, the detailed list of items will be handed over to him by Prince Taito of Thailand.
