Chapter 1031: Zongfan

"You mean to give up Southeast China?" Gao Le'er almost jumped up, "Does the coalition only protect the interests of your Britain?"

"Of course not to give up Southeast China, Gao Le'er, you have to understand that as long as the coalition can finally win, your Southeast China will be able to be taken back, and the Portuguese Luzon and our Australia can also be taken back, otherwise we will lose our interests in the East." Wesley retorted loudly.

Gao Le'er's face changed several times after hearing this, and he hesitated for a while, and then he sat down slowly.

Wesley breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was much softer.

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

The generals nodded one after another.

Britain is currently the most powerful country in the West.

In the coalition, the generals of various countries naturally focus on Britain.

Most importantly, they also agree with Wesley's statement.

If they abandon the fortifications they have worked so hard to build during this period and fight the Dasong army in Jiaozhi or Piaoman, it 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 heavy responsibility of resisting the continued spread of darkness. We must sacrifice our lives for this. Please go back and tell your soldiers that this is the front line. We must protect it like we protect our own country." Wesley suddenly raised his voice again, with great emotion.

"Long live the West!"

As his voice fell, a general suddenly shouted.

"Long live the West!" Another general shouted.

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

Now, he wanted to eat all the Dasong troops in Southeast China alive.

Then, he thought of something and asked, "What about the 8,000 Frankish soldiers in Jiaozhi?"

Wesley turned to look at the map behind him, pointed to the narrow strip of land north of Malacca and said, "Withdraw them and place them here."

Goller nodded.

The Dasong army that went south this time was large in number, and the 8,000 Frankish soldiers could not resist their front.

It is better to withdraw and join forces with other coalition forces than to stay in Jinou County and wait for death.

After discussing this matter, Wesley ordered to strengthen the defense in the direction bordering the Piao Man Kingdom, and at the same time dispatched a large number of Tianzhu native troops to the west to fight with the coalition.

Although the native troops of Jiaozhi and Piao Man disappointed them, it was much better to have them than not.

In addition, they had been operating Tianzhu for many years and believed that Tianzhu was deeply influenced by Britain and had some British shadows.

This made the cooperation between the native army of Tianzhu and the British soldiers quite coordinated, and they would certainly not fail like the native army organized by the Franks.

After a while.

Gao Leer immediately gave orders to the Frankish army in Jinou, asking them to withdraw through the territory of Siam before the Dasong army occupied Southeast China completely.

When the Western Tu coalition army responded, the steps of the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army did not stop.

The Qinglong Army went south all the way, and almost without any effort, it took down the cities of Jiaozhi and put them under military control.

The Suzaku Army was the same, because the Piaoman army was destroyed.

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

Basically, wherever they went, they could put the place under military control.

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

Qin Shan got the news and returned immediately.

At this moment, he was in Jinou County, and the Qinglong Army had taken over the entire territory of Jiaozhi.

"Your Highness!"

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

After the King of Yan arrived, he rested there.

When he saw Zhao Xu in the main hall, he immediately saluted.

Zhao Xu returned the salute and smiled, "You've worked hard."

"It's not hard." Qin Shan was a dull person and spoke honestly. He smiled and said, "The soldiers are very happy to have a war. I am grateful to Your Highness for giving us the Qinglong Army this opportunity."

Zhao Xu listened and smiled softly, "The soldiers are very motivated to fight. Yes, this is just an appetizer, and there will be a big meal soon."

Qin Shan was excited, "Your Highness, are you talking about the Western Alliance?"

"Yes." Zhao Xu nodded.

He had his own reasons for being anxious to drive the Westerners out of the East.

In his plan, he would first use the resources of the entire East to establish a trade circle centered on Dasong.

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

After all, Tianzhu has a similar population to Dasong, and it is a large market.

But the people of the Western Land have invaded the Southern Region and Tianzhu, and have used this place as an outpost fortress to plot against Dasong. How can he establish the Eastern Land trade circle?

If the trade circle cannot be established, Dasong's trade will be affected.

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

These workshop areas are bursting with huge production capacity.

After satisfying the domestic market, if they are not given a market, they will wither like flowers lacking nutrients.

Therefore, he needs a safe and stable area, not a turbulent area.

"Humph, I will make them regret coming to the Eastern Land." Qin Shan said coldly.

Zhao Xu patted his shoulder, "Let's not talk about this for now. Before we deal with the Westerners, we should stabilize Jiaozhi, Pyu Man, Funan, Nanzhang and Siam and return them to Dasong."

Qin Shan nodded.

At present, they are implementing martial law on Jiaozhi.

This is fine to suppress the Jiaozhi people temporarily, but it is hard to guarantee that there will be no Jiaozhi people's rebellion against Dasong's rule in the long run.

We need to think of a long-term way to stabilize the southeast and maximize the interests of Dasong.

Once, the King of Yan said that he would incorporate Jiaozhi into the territory of Dasong.

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

So he said, "I don't know what method your Highness has to get the best of both worlds."

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and smiled, "I have thought a lot on this way to the south. For the five countries in the southeast and even the countries in the southern region, I think this is how we should deal with them."

After a pause, he said, "But in general, I think we can't be rough. We should cook it slowly like warm water to achieve our goal."

Then he told Qin Shan his thoughts.

In modern times, the vassal relationship established by the Ming Dynasty is actually very successful.

The most successful one is the relationship between the Joseon Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, gave the country the name of Joseon. Since then, Joseon and the Ming Dynasty have established a vassal relationship that is a step further than the tribute system.

The official language of Joseon has been Chinese characters since then, and the system is also copied from the Ming Dynasty. The monarch of Joseon is only called a king, not an emperor.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the real emperor, and they are equivalent to vassal kings and vassal states.

This is vassal.

So he is also ready to establish such a relationship for the five countries in the southeast and even the countries in the southern region.

Dasong only established a garrison to supervise, and the internal affairs were managed by their own people to avoid increasing the governance cost of Dasong.

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

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

This is also the same reason why the Commonwealth of Nations respects the Queen of Britain as the only queen.

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

After establishing this system, he will promote the Dasong cultural system in the vassal circle, use influence to improve civil relations, and let the vassal states get close to Dasong.

When the time is right, Jiaozhi and other vassal states that were originally Dasong's territory will be incorporated into Dasong.

As for why not all of them are incorporated into Dasong?

The reason is also very simple. Governing a country requires costs, and you need to be responsible when you are in power.

Collect it, and the poor places ask you for money and food. Will you give it?

If you don't give it, they will make trouble and rebel, and you will have to suppress the rebellion at that time.

The autonomy of the vassal states is simple. No matter whether you eat dirt or meat, or whether the people in the country fight to death, even if you change the leader, you only need to submit to Dasong, and nothing else matters.

Therefore, it is better to let these countries be autonomous and subordinate to Dasong at the same time, so as to achieve a balance state with maximum benefits.
