Chapter 145: The vassal state
Changsun Sheng's meaning was already very obvious. Of course Andre and the other two could understand it, so they were all very happy to hear this. Unexpectedly, they had gained so many benefits without paying any price first.
Now, in the future, he could send troops openly against the territory that did not surrender to the Xia Kingdom. However, Andre suddenly thought that if the surrounding territories also surrender to the Xia Kingdom after they learned the news, wouldn’t he be unable to send troops?
So Andre immediately asked, "Sir, what if the territory that he just left wants to surrender to Xia State again?" Of course, Andrei would not say directly that he would send troops, so he had to tactfully inquire about how much Xia State's demand for the vassal.
"Haha~!" Changsun Sheng knew what Andre was thinking when he heard this question. He stared at the other party. In Andre's eyes that could not dodge, he chuckled twice and said, "The vassals of our country are not here as long as they want, or leave as they want."
Although Changsun Sheng did not say it directly, Andre and the other two were all relieved when they heard this, and secretly glad that their own choice had not chosen to leave like the lords who were driven out of the castle. Now they also know that choosing to leave means that they have chosen to lose the qualification to continue to survive!
When Changsun Sheng saw the expressions of these people, he didn't care in his heart. The reason why Xia Kingdom implemented the vassal plan was to find some chess pieces for himself. If the chess pieces were disobedient, they would just change them to another batch, but it would only take some more energy.
"Sir, I wonder who this Nanshan City should belong to now?" Suddenly, Deli, who was standing beside Andre, asked, and this question surprised Andre. Yes, who should this city belong to?
Nanshan City is the former capital of Fulimet. It has very complete facilities and is very good to treat it as their base camp. It is not far or near to Xia. There is no need to worry about the sudden arrival of Xia's army or the rapid support of Xia.
As soon as Deli's question came out, Andre and the other four looked at Changsun Sheng tightly, wanting to know what the people in Xia Kingdom were thinking. After all, they are all surrendering to Xia Kingdom now, wanting to know whether Xia Kingdom is fair to them.
Changsun Sheng didn't care about this, and he replied: "Of course, it is owned by the five of you together, which can also provide you with an excellent place to communicate."
As for whether Nanshan City will become the second naturalized city and become the commercial city of Xia Guofan's vassal state, Yang Song and the others had expected it, of course they would not, because the indigenous forces do not have the rich products of Xia Guo!
When Andrei and Deli heard Changsun Sheng's answer, they felt relieved. It seemed that Xia Guo still treated them equally, which also gave them a clear idea of what happened next.
After this question, Changsun Sheng once again talked about the matters that the vassals should pay attention to, such as regular tributes and the amount of tributes, and ended the interview.
After confirming that the army of Fulimet Country had indeed evacuated, Li Jing brought the army back to Xia Country again. Although there was no battle this time, the result was achieved and it was not a waste of time.
Before returning with the army, Changsun Sheng did one thing, that is, he spread the news that Andrei's five forces became Xia Guofan's subordinates. The most important news was that Xia Guofan's subordinates would receive help from Xia Guofan if they encountered foreign invasions, which was the highlight.
After hearing the news, many people regretted beating their chests and stamping their feet. Didn’t they just surrender? They had surrendered. As long as they received help from Xia, they would be a "gold medal for avoiding death" for them. There was nowhere to find such a good thing.
But they really wanted to go to Xia Guo and wanted to surrender voluntarily, but they couldn't do such a thing. They could only comfort themselves secretly after regretting that no one was in charge of their heads and could do what they wanted to do.
But is this really the case? Of course the result is no!
After becoming a vassal of Xia State, Andre and the other five had a good discussion, opened the skylight and explained their respective ambitions. After several discussions, they divided the land of the original Fulimet country and agreed to help each other and wait for a good opportunity to send troops.
After the Xia Kingdom's army left and after the Fulimet Kingdom really "sacrificed" and stopped sending troops, Andre and Deli and the other five had a tacit understanding to launch an attack on the small territory around the territory.
This scene is so familiar, just like the Nanshan Leader who received funding from Xia Kingdom to launch an attack on the surrounding territories, leaving the surrounding territories without any power to fight back.
However, the difference is that the five vassals in this war did not receive material help from the Xia Kingdom, and the scope was far less wide than the last time it was affected, and the intensity of the war was not as high as last time. However, the result was the same, that is, all the five prepared vassals won.
Even the other two relatively powerful territories did not repel the vassal coalition forces and became prisoners one after another.
During the war, there was no territory to find Xia Kingdom and wanted to surrender voluntarily, but they were all turned away by Xia Kingdom.
According to the agreement between Yang Song and Liu Ji and others, the vassal states do not need too many, but not too few. It is best to have more than five or less. Therefore, after the five vassal states that have been cognizant, Yang Song decided not to increase the number of vassal states for the time being.
Because there is only such a way for the independent territory outside the pass, if there are too many vassals, the chess pieces will lose their corresponding strength and will not be able to resist the attack of the Welmet Kingdom, and will not be able to achieve the goal that the Xia Kingdom wants to achieve.
Therefore, the territory that came to visit was rejected by Xia Kingdom, which made the people in these territory even more regretful and wanted to slap them a few times at the time.
In the end, the lords of these territorial brigades had no need to regret, because they all became the souls of the vassal coalition forces, and even if they wanted to surrender to Andre and the others, they would have the same consequences.
Andre and the others have learned education now, and they will never dare to talk about aristocratic spirit for these lords, because they are independent people, and if these lords turn over in the future, they will have no place to cry at that time.
When the war was settled, a few months later, Andre and Deli and the other five achieved their goals, and after annexed the surrounding territories, they became unprecedentedly powerful. So they met again in Nanshan, and their report to Xia State was about agreeing to establish a country, but in fact they agreed to get rid of Xia State.
However, after the discussion at the end, considering that we had to consider the threat of Welfare Met, the strength of Xia and the consequences of betrayal of Xia, we had to give up the idea of getting rid of Xia.
So this meeting really turned into mutual discussion on establishing a country and calling the king. According to the vassal agreement, if they want to establish a country and call the king, they must obtain the consent of the sect leader.
Finally, they jointly wrote a letter to Xia Guo, which listed their respective needs and wanted to get Xia Guo's consent.
This was what the Xia Kingdom wanted, so Yang Song agreed immediately and immediately asked Changsun Sheng to take his letter of acceptance to send a mission to the vassal forces to witness the establishment of the vassal state.
