"Zong Fan?" Qin Shan pondered for a while and nodded slowly. read

He also thought about this issue when he captured the Imperial City of Jiaozhi.

Unlike Dasong, the two countries Jiaozhi and Piaoman, like Beidi, have hostility towards Dasong from top to bottom.

If they occupy it by force, there will inevitably be many forces that resist the rule, which is tantamount to bringing hatred to themselves.

Instead of doing this, it is better to support a puppet like Luzon and let it govern itself.

Let them resolve it through internal friction.

They then used subtle means to transform the five southeastern countries and integrate them into the Dasong system, which was to establish the suzerain-vassal relationship mentioned by King Yan.

In his opinion, this suzerain-vassal relationship is not much different from incorporating these countries into the Dasong territory.

From now on, the countries in the Southern Territory will respect Dasong State as the suzerain state and the Dasong Emperor as the co-owner.

All nations obey the emperor's orders.

"In this case, we have to choose some obedient people." Qin Shan thought for a while and said to Zhao Xu, "After the general captured Jiaozhi, there was a group of Jiaozhi ministers who held high the royal flag of His Highness and pledged their allegiance. These people may be available, and through them , The final general also has the candidate to replace Emperor Ruan Chushan of Cochin."

"Oh? Tell me." Zhao Xu showed interest.

Qin Shan said: "There are conflicts within any dynasty, and Jiaozhi is no exception. Ruan Chushan has six sons who compete for power with each other, but Ruan Chushan prefers his third son. Regardless of the objections of the ministers, he abolishes the eldest son and establishes the younger son." "

"That third prince was not a good person. After taking the throne of the prince, he wanted to completely eliminate the threat of the eldest prince. He created an unjust case, which resulted in the eldest prince and many ministers close to him being imprisoned. This time Ruan Chushan was captured. This He is happiest when helping people and is also the first to surrender.”

After a pause, Qin Shan continued, "After the general released the eldest prince, the eldest prince swore to the general that as long as we support him, he is willing to surrender to Dasong from now on."

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, "Go and call the eldest prince, I want to see him."

Qin Shan agreed and ordered the soldiers to pick up the man.

Not long after, a thin man in his thirties arrived at the main hall.

When he came on the road, he learned that it was King Dasongyan who summoned him.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Zhao Xu, he knelt down.

"Excuse me, are you Ruan Xiong?" Zhao Xu asked.

While waiting, he asked some more information about the Cochin prince.

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, that's right." Ruan Xiong fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head.

His former ministers led the Dasong soldiers to take him out of prison, and then he realized that the whole of Jiaozhi had changed.

Dasong's army destroyed Jiaozhi's army in a devastating manner, and immediately controlled the entire Jiaozhi.

After seeing the military appearance of the Dasong soldiers, he was even more impressed by them and did not dare to have any rebellious thoughts.

What's more, he was going to be beheaded in a month and escaped from death. He was only grateful for the arrival of Dasong's army.

Zhao Xu nodded and said slowly, "Do you know why my Dasong army went south and wiped out your Jiaozhi country?"

"This..." Ruan Xiong was asked and couldn't turn his head. He thought of the Minister of Cochin telling him that the Dasong army going south would eventually fight the Western natives and drive the Western natives out of the Eastern lands. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

He spoke sternly and loudly: "The natives from the West are bandits who come to the East, burning, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. The people in the southern region have suffered greatly, but the countries are frightened by their ships, strong guns, and powerful artillery, but they are servile and consider the thieves as their fathers. These monarchs and ministers are as despicable as dirt. The country cannot bear to look at them directly, so it has sent the heavenly army south to drive out the bandits from the west, wipe out the shameless monarchs and ministers of the countries, and restore peace to the people of the southern region! "

After Ruan Xiong finished speaking, Zhao Xu and Qin Shan looked at each other, both showing a teachable expression.

Zhao Xu said: "Stand up, you are right. This time I praise the army's march south, not to invade other countries, but to pacify the Western bandits, eliminate the traitors of various countries, and restore peace and tranquility to the southern region."

Only when a warrior has a good reputation can he conform to the hearts of the people, whether it is the hearts of the common people or the hearts of the countries in the southern region.

Therefore, on the way to Jiaozhi, he was thinking about how to raise a moral banner and make the Dasong army a righteous army in the hearts of the people of all countries.

Now, Ruan Xiong's words coincided with his underlying thoughts, making his thoughts clearer.

No matter now or in the future, in the confrontation between Dasong and Xitu, he must hold high a banner.

This flag is the war that Dasong fought to free the countries from the enslavement of the Western Turks.

He believed that the current Xi Tu was already trying their best to humiliate him and insult Dasong people through newspapers.

The purpose is naturally to whitewash his colonial rule in the world and portray him as a great and upright person, while he and Da Song are evil.

In this way, no matter what cruel methods they adopted against Dasong, even genocide, the Westerners felt that it was natural.

However, the Westerners simply confuse right and wrong, and although the banner he raised contains some personal selfishness, it is truly the world's morality.

Otherwise, in the next hundred years, the Eastern soil will continue to be poisoned by the Western natives.

After all, their colonization and their sect are not the same thing.

His vassal system was to integrate the Eastern Territory and make the Eastern Territory prosper together with Dasong as the center. This was the king's way of the world.

The Westerners treat people from other places with the arrogance of God's chosen people and never regard the indigenous people as equals to themselves.

Thinking of this, he continued to say to Ruan Xiong, "I can support you in ruling Jiaozhi, but after becoming the king of Jiaozhi, you must say to your people what you just said to me."

Hearing that King Yan wanted to support him, Ruan Xiong trembled with excitement.

Not long ago, he was mortal.

But then he realized something and murmured: "King of Cochin?"

"You heard it right, he is the King of Jiaozhi. From now on, the countries in the Southern Region will no longer have an emperor, they can only be called kings. I praise the emperor as the emperor you all obey. But don't worry, Jiaozhi will still be under your jurisdiction. Are you willing? ?" Zhao Xu looked at Ruan Xiong and observed his eyes.

"That's it." Ruan Xiong said. Hearing that Jiaozhi still obeyed him, he didn't like it. It was just a change of name.

As for respecting Emperor Dasong, with Dasong's current strength, even if King Yan didn't, he wouldn't dare to say no.

So, he kowtowed to Zhao Xu again and said loudly, "I am willing, a hundred willing, a thousand willing."

"In that case, go back and gather your ministers, and prepare to be king of Jiaozhi." Zhao Xu said loudly, "As for your father and brothers, I will leave them to you."

Ruan Xiong was even more excited when he heard this, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I will treat them well."
