Become a feudal king from today

"Do you mean to give up Southeast China?" Gao Leer almost jumped up, "Does the coalition only protect your British interests?"

"Of course it's not to give up Southeast China, Gao Leer, you have to understand that as long as the coalition forces can finally win, it will be possible for you to get back Southeast China, as well as Franco's Luzon and our Australia, otherwise we will all Lose your interests in the East," Wesley retorted loudly.

After hearing this, Gao Leer's expression changed several times. After hesitating for a while, he slowly sat down.

Wesley relaxed slightly and his tone became much softer.

Looking at the generals of various countries, he said: "The situation is urgent and we cannot allow any more cracks to appear within our coalition. In order to destroy the Dasong army, we must unite as one."

The generals nodded.

At the moment Britain is the most powerful country in the West.

In the coalition, the generals from various countries naturally focused on Britain.

Most importantly, they agreed with Wesley.

If they give up the fortifications they have worked hard to build during this period and fight Dasong's army in Jiaozhi or Piaoman, this will undoubtedly be equivalent to giving up their own advantages.

"Everyone, our bright world has been invaded by darkness. Now, each of us shoulders the important task of resisting the continued spread of darkness. To this end, we must sacrifice our lives. Please go back and tell your soldiers that this is the front line. We must protect this place like we are protecting our own country." Wesley suddenly raised his voice again, his voice full of emotion.

"Long live Xitu!"

After he finished speaking, a general suddenly shouted.

"Long live Xi Tu!" shouted another general.

"Let us send Dasong and their dog king to hell together. We in the West are invincible." Gao Leer slammed the table.

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

Immediately, he thought of something again and asked: "What about our Frank's eight thousand soldiers in Cochin?"

Wesley turned and looked at the map behind him, pointed to the narrow strip of land north of Malacca and said, "Pull them back and place them in this position."

Goller nodded.

The large number of Dasong's troops heading south this time was so large that it was impossible for eight thousand Frank soldiers to withstand their front.

Rather than staying in Ca Mau County and waiting to die, it is better to withdraw and join forces with other coalition forces.

After discussing the matter, Wesley ordered to strengthen the defenses bordering the Piaoman Kingdom, and at the same time dispatched a large number of Tianzhu indigenous troops to the west to fight with the coalition forces.

Although the native troops of Jiaozhi and Piaoman disappointed them, it was much better than nothing.

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

This allowed Tianzhu's indigenous army to cooperate with the British soldiers in a coordinated manner, and they would certainly not fail like the Frankish-organized indigenous army.

After a while.

Gauler immediately gave orders to the Frankish army in Ca Mau, asking them to withdraw through the territory of Siam before the Daisong army fully occupied Southeast China.

When the Western-Turkish Allied Forces responded, the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army did not stop.

The Qinglong Army marched all the way south, taking over each Jiaozhi city with little effort and placing it under military control.

The same goes for the Suzaku Army, which was destroyed due to the Piaoman army.

The entire Piaoman Kingdom was very weak, and the cities they encountered had no decent resistance at all.

Basically wherever they go, they can put the place under military control.

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

Qin Shan got the news and returned immediately.

At this moment, he was in Jin'ou County, and the Qinglong Army had captured the entire territory of Jiaozhi.

"Your Highness!"

After returning to Hanoi, Qin Shan immediately went to the Jiaozhi Palace.

After King Yan arrived, he rested there.

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

Zhao Xu returned the military salute with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work." Qin Shan was dull and honest in his words. He smiled and said, "When there is a battle, the soldiers are very happy. I am grateful to His Highness for giving us the opportunity of the Qinglong Army."

After hearing this, Zhao Xu chuckled softly, "The soldiers are very motivated to fight. Yes, this is just an appetizer. There will be a feast soon."

Qin Shan was excited, "Is His Highness talking about the Western-Turkish Allied Forces?"

"Yes." Zhao Xu nodded.

He had his own reasons for being eager to drive the Western natives away from the Eastern lands.

In his plan, he wanted to first use the resources of the entire Eastern Territory to establish a business circle centered on Dasong.

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

After all, Tianzhu has a similar population to Dasong, so it is a big market.

However, the Western Turks invaded the Southern Territory and Tianzhu, and relied on this place as an outpost fortress to plot evil against Dasong. How did he establish the Eastern Territory business circle?

However, the business circle has been unable to be established for a long time, and Dasong's business will be affected.

During this southern tour, he saw one workshop area after another.

These workshop areas are bursting with huge production capacity.

After satisfying the domestic market, if no market is found for them, they will wither like flowers lacking nourishment.

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

"Hmph, they will definitely regret coming to the East." Qin Shan said coldly.

Zhao Xu patted his shoulder, "Let's not talk about it for now. Before we deal with the Western natives, we should let Jiaozhi, Piaoman, Funan, Nanzhang and Siam stabilize and return to Dasong."

Qin Shan nodded.

What they are currently imposing on Cochin is martial law.

This temporarily suppresses the Cochin people, but there is no guarantee that the Cochin people will not resist Dasong's rule in the long term.

We need to think of a long-term way to stabilize the Southeast while maximizing Dasong's interests.

Once upon a time, King Yan said that he wanted to include Jiaozhi into the territory of Dasong.

As for how to incorporate it? He doesn't understand either.

So he said, "I wonder if your Highness has any way to get the best of both worlds."

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and then said with a smile, "I have thought a lot about this journey south. This is how I think we should deal with the five southeastern countries and even the countries in the southern region."

After a pause, he said: "But generally speaking, I believe that it should not be rough and should be boiled slowly in warm water to achieve the purpose."

Then he told Qin Shan what he thought.

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

The most successful of these was the relationship between Lee's Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, gave the country the name Korea. Since then, Korea and the Ming Dynasty have established a suzerain-vassal relationship that goes further than the tribute system.

The official script of North Korea has been in Chinese characters since then, and the system has been copied from the Ming Dynasty. The North Korean monarch is only called the king, not the emperor.

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

This is Zongfan.

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

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

At the same time, except for Dasong, countries in the Eastern Territory can only be called kings, not emperors.

Dasong will exist as the suzerain state of each country, and other countries will be vassal states. Emperor Dasong will be regarded as the only emperor, just like Li Shimin's name of Tian Khan.

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

But this is not imitation, it is the characteristic of Dongtu.

After establishing this system, he will promote the Dasong cultural system within 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 such as Jiaozhi and Dasong, 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 a country requires costs, and being in someone else's family requires responsibility.

If you come in and a very poor place asks you for money or food, will you give it?

If they are not given, they will cause trouble and rebel. When the time comes, they will have to suppress the rebellion.

As for the autonomy of the vassal state, it is simple. You can eat dirt or meat, or if the head of the country beats the head of a dog, even if you change the leader, you only need to surrender to Dasong and don't care about anything else.

Therefore, it is better to allow these countries to be autonomous and at the same time subordinate to Dasong to achieve a balance state that maximizes interests.
