Chapter 283: Eighty-one Subjects
The subject state has its own sovereignty, and the monarch can appoint the next monarch, but it must be canonized by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will not interfere indiscriminately unless he comes up with a reason that is convincing to the major subject states.
The subject country can have its own army, but there will be a limit on the number of troops, in case there is a force that threatens the New Tang Dynasty, which is prepared for the future, after all, Zhang Xian does not know that Li Quan can live for a long, long time.
The subject country can start a foreign war on its own, and the Son of Heaven will not interfere, but if a war breaks out between the subject countries, it must apply to the Son of Heaven, and only if the Son of Heaven agrees, can a war between the subject countries be launched, otherwise it will be defeated.
If the subject country is attacked by other countries in the outside world, it can ask the suzerainty for help, if the subject country provokes trouble, the suzerainty can not ask, if it is provoked by outsiders, the suzerain's country will send troops to support, but the subject country must pay the suzerain's ** expenses.
In normal times, the Son of Heaven would not interfere in the internal affairs of the subject country, unless the subject monarch applied for it, which largely ensured the independence of each subject state, not just dependent on the suzerain.
In short, the suzerainty in the suzerainty system will only provide limited support, and only limited control, and the subject state has a high degree of freedom, which is a good thing for both parties.
"Okay, good, good, Elder Ge is fortunate, your plan is very perfect, I approve it very much, even if there are any shortcomings, you can supplement it in the future. Li Quan said happily and said three good things in a row.
The president was captured, the army was basically wiped out, the police force also suffered heavy casualties, and the military strength of the new Tang Dynasty was limited.
But in this context, Li Quan and Zhang Xian are discussing how to divide Indonesia, if the people of Indonesia know, I don't know if they will be collectively angry.
This is a typical law of the jungle, if the new Tang Dynasty is weak, it will also be torn to pieces by the enemy, if you want to have dignity or, you must have a strong country as a backing, you must have a strong force as a guarantee.
"As for how to divide these subject countries, I need to think about it again, you go back and rest first, come over tomorrow morning, and I will discuss it with you again. Li Quan said.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, and the minister will retire. Zhang Xian was indeed tired, especially when his originally tense mind suddenly relaxed.
After Zhang Xian left, Li Quan fell into deep thought, it is not so easy to demarcate the national border, and you must find a standard.
"System, do you have any good suggestions?" asked Li Quan.
The system said: "First of all, you have to understand Indonesia, Java Island is the core of your entire Indonesia, more than 50% of the population, more than 80% of the economy, the main reason is that this place is not easy to divide, other places are relatively backward, you can divide according to the archipelago, you can divide according to the area, you can divide it according to the population, you can divide it according to the race, you can divide it according to the region, it is diverse, you don't have to have a unified standard, and you are not for the average division." ”
"The whole of Indonesia is not your opponent, let alone after the partition, but in the future, these subject countries will jointly respect the new Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, then you need these subject countries to be relatively stronger It is a good thing, although the overall strength has become stronger, but it is apportioned to each subject country, none of them can compare to the previous Indonesia, and too weak will drag you back. ”
Li Quan nodded approvingly: "You're right, I'm also having a headache about it?"
"Outside of Java, it's actually better to divide it, because those places are very backward, and you can even divide it directly according to the area, or the original administrative area of Indonesia, you don't need to use your mind, but Java is the essence of Indonesia. ”
"If there is less division, the country on the island of Java is much stronger than other countries, and if there is more division, it will completely lose the advantages here, and it was originally to develop Java Island with the strength of the whole country, once it is divided, Java Island actually does not have as much potential as before, but the foundation here is good, and talents are gathered here. ”
"According to your plan, aren't the subject countries also divided into levels, I think that the island of Java can be divided into several kingdoms, and other places can be divided into principalities, or even vassal states, isn't it?"
Yes, I don't want to distribute it evenly, as long as I try to integrate resources, I won't waste existing resources because of division.
With a standard, Li Quan followed the map of Indonesia and began to draw in circles except for the Irian Islands and Sulawesi Islands.
You must know that his random circle painting represents the land area of each country, and if this picture is put up for auction, it must be the most expensive one in history.
At this time, Li Quan really had a moment when he felt that he was the Emperor of Heaven, guiding the country, following his words, and his every move would determine the fate of hundreds of millions of living beings, this feeling was really wonderful and addictive.
For others, it is a matter of life and death, and it is a matter of the rise and fall of the family, but for Li Quan, it is just a whim, and with the help of the information provided by the system, Li Quan only took three hours to complete the division of Indonesia.
After counting carefully, Li Quan just randomly divided a total of eighty-one subject states, of which four reached the kingdom standard, three were on Java Island, one was on Sumatra Island, eighteen were on Duchy Island, three were on Java Island, six were on Sumatra Island, five were on Kalimantan Island, and four were independent archipelagos.
After Li Quan divided these, he immediately asked Xuan Shiqiang to come to meet him.
The Imperial Study.
"Chen Shiqiang participates in Your Majesty. Shi Qiang said.
"Come here, take a look at this. Li Quan took the map he had divided to Shi Qiang.
This suzerainty system does not need to be kept secret from Shi Qiang, after all, he is his confidant, so he doesn't have to worry about leaking secrets.
"Your Majesty, this is a map of Indonesia, and the minister is too dull to understand the deep meaning. Shi Qiang looked at it for a while, not knowing why.
"Haha, Elder Ge proposed a plan to me today, the suzerainty system, here is the whole plan, you should be able to know the meaning of this map I gave you after reading it. Li Quan said, giving Shi Qiang the plan for the suzerainty system submitted by Zhang Xian.
There are not many words, ten lines at a glance, Shi Qiang quickly understood the meaning, and then looked at the circle drawing on the map, where did he not understand that this was the boundary of the subject country divided by His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, is this the boundary of the subject country you intend to demarcate?" Shi Qiang confirmed.
"My son can be taught, I have announced that you are here so that you can conduct field research on these places according to my map, select some candidates for the king in each subject country, and sort out their lives and backgrounds for me, so that I can make a choice. Li Quan said.
"Obey the order, I don't know what Your Majesty's criteria are for selecting candidates?" Shi Qiang asked, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, otherwise he would be known by the idle people of Yushitai and didn't know what to say.
"The first principle is to see whether there are many local Chinese, if the Chinese are able, they can be selected from those Chinese, but the premise is that he or his family has a certain amount of power in the local area, has a certain economic foundation, and secondly, it depends on whether he is yellow-skinned and white-hearted, whether he has a strong sense of identity with the Chinese, whether he has ambition and ability, his attitude towards the New Tang Dynasty, and whether he is willing to respect the New Tang Dynasty as the suzerain. ”
"If there are fewer local Chinese, you can choose from the local main ethnic group, which also requires a certain economic foundation, needs to be ambitious, willing to improve the status of local Chinese, does not exclude or discriminate against Chinese, and is willing to respect the New Tang Dynasty as the suzerain. ”
"If there are warlords or ethnic groups in the local area that rebelled against the previous Indonesian government, such as the semi-autonomous province of Aceh, you can directly contact these people, provided that they are willing to respect the new Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, are willing to implement the monarchy ** system, and at most tolerate the constitutional monarchy, if these are not satisfied, then give up on them for a long time and choose others, anyway, they are all the same in my eyes. ”
"I don't have to worry about West Java in the circle, I already have a candidate there. Li Quan said, this is for Zuo Ke, I believe it will definitely satisfy him.
"Yes, the minister will do it immediately. Shi Qiang ordered to leave.
Eighty-one subject countries, counting candidates, he has to select at least a few hundred people, such a lot of work, he has already thought about it, he must find people who know the local area as a reference, in order to achieve the fastest efficiency.
After resting for the night, Zhang Xian got the demarcated boundary map from Li Quan the next day, looked at it and went to find Zuo Ke.
Unlike Zhang Xian, who stayed up all night and was still in good spirits, Zuo Ke's originally dark face was now even darker, he couldn't sleep at all these days, and he felt like he was going crazy.
Zhang Xian knew what was going on at a glance, and asked knowingly, "How is Mr. President's rest?" ”
Zuo Ke responded coldly: "Fortunately, the food in your country is not bad. ”
"I don't know what we said, what do you think, Mr. President?" asked Zhang Xian.
"I really can't agree to the first one, that's a traitor. Zuoke still insisted.
"Hehe, what if it's not a traitor?" Zhang Xian said suddenly.
"What is it that ceding land is not a traitor?" Zuo Ke wondered.
"Our Majesty has come up with a better plan for you to choose from, would you like to hear it?" asked Zhang Xian.
"Speak. "Now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, it's not a question of whether he wants to or not, but he must listen, Zuo Ke knows this very well.
"I don't know if Mr. President thinks your country's system is better, or our country's imperial system is better?" Zhang Xian said tentatively.
