Chapter 282: The Suzerainty System [Subscription Requested]

"Back to Your Majesty, this plan of the minister is actually learned from our Chinese people in ancient times, that is, the suzerainty system. Zhang Xian said.

When Li Quan heard this, he immediately became more interested, put down the pen in his hand, and listened carefully to Zhang Xian's plan.

Zhang Xian saw that His Majesty was interested, and hurriedly continued: "The minister checked the situation in Indonesia yesterday, their country has always had a colonial history, and the resistance is very low, which shows that their servility is very strong, and we have more room for operation." ”

"And more than half of the population lives on the island of Java, because this is the colony of the Dutch, the best built, they built on the basis of inheriting the legacy of the previous colonizers, and the remaining large islands, Kalimantan, Sumatra, Irian, Sulawesi are quite far from Java, Irian is the farthest, is the least appreciated island in Indonesia, although the area is large. ”

"There is turmoil in many parts of Indonesia, and we want independence, but because the economic gap with Java is too big, so it has not been successful, and we can actually use this to split Indonesia into multiple countries, and at the same time cede Irian Island and Sulawesi Island, and move the islanders above to other islands, once they are divided, they should welcome these populations. ”

"And these divided countries must change the state system to the monarchy ** system like us, so that our New Tang Dynasty is not a special case, and they must all recognize our New Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and they need to pay tribute every year, at this time, our New Tang Kingdom can justifiably rise to the New Tang Empire, and when the time comes, the Quartet will be able to reproduce the prosperous Tang Dynasty of the year. Zhang Xian said his plan word by word.

Originally, it was nothing, but the suzerainty system he said made Li Quan very moved, and when he was upgraded to the New Tang Empire, he would become a legitimate emperor, not just a kingdom.

This is a major difference between a kingdom and an empire. (ps: This is the author's family words, I think so, that's why it was called the kingdom before, the monarch was the king, and then it should be the rightful emperor, everyone can complain, as long as you don't make personal attacks.) )

An empire with no subject country and no younger brother is indeed a little unsuccessful, if there is an extra group of kingdom junior brothers, then the promotion of the New Tang Dynasty to the empire is well deserved.

However, it is not without problems, why do European and American countries always target China, there are various reasons, one of the reasons is the difference in the state system, the West is a capitalist country, and now there is a feudal imperial country like the New Tang Dynasty, which is already a special case, and if there is one more batch, there will definitely be a lot of trouble at that time, but compared with the benefits, Li Quan chose the suzerainty system.

"Hahaha, okay, this plan of the elder is very good, very much in line with me, just do it, you come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible. Li Quan said happily, he hadn't been so excited for a long time.

"Also, you go and consult privately with Zok to see if he is willing to help us carry out this plan, if he is willing, I can promise him to give him the most developed region of Indonesia, support him to establish his own kingdom, make him this king, and I will also reward him with a genetic potion that everyone dreams of, and he will have enough time to digest and absorb his own country. ”

"If he doesn't cooperate, hmph, I believe that there should be no shortage of such ambitious people in Indonesia, and he will have to live a life sentence, depending on whether he understands the current affairs. Li Quan said coldly.

"Yes, thank you for Your Majesty's trust in the minister, the minister will definitely facilitate this, and the minister believes that Zuo Ke will definitely agree, he is a man who cherishes his life. Zhang Xian said.

"You go down and complete this plan as soon as possible, if you need anything, or if you want to know the current situation in Indonesia, you can contact anyone, military, bad people. Li Quan said.

"Yes, thank you for your support, and the minister will retire. Zhang Xian slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

Li Quan didn't think of the suzerainty system before, but now that he thinks about it, there are so many benefits.

First of all, to divide Indonesia into multiple countries, Li Quan will definitely help them gain recognition from the United Nations, and they will all become sovereign states, so that when something happens in the future, Xintang will not be too alone, at least a group of younger brothers will wave their flags and shout, although it has little effect, but the momentum is still necessary.

Even if the United Nations doesn't recognize it, it doesn't matter, as long as Xintang admits it, Li Quan is sure to persuade Huaguo, then the Huameng will admit it, and with the power of the Huameng in Asia and Oceania, as long as the Huameng recognizes it, then they can put 10,000 hearts at ease.

Secondly, Indonesia is not a strong country, but the population is very large, nearly 400 million people (1.5 times larger), which represents a very large market, even if Nutang's products are banned in various countries, there will be dumping grounds, similar to the colonization more than 100 years ago, but this is economic colonization, and it is not bad for them, and it can also promote the rapid economic development of Nuvoton.

Secondly, these vassal states need tribute every year, which not only satisfies Li Quan's vanity, makes him very face-saving, but also opens up new economic sources for the royal family, and no one will think that he has little money, even Li Quan.

Also, if there is any big war in the future, these subject countries will not be able to do it, but they are indeed the best candidates for cannon fodder, and they can try to avoid or reduce the casualties of the New Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Finally, Indonesia's previous contribution to Li Quan's reputation was very limited, but once the New Tang Dynasty became their suzerain, Li Quan would be their heavenly khan, and he would definitely be able to increase his near-stagnant reputation again.

In short, this system has many benefits, and it is necessary to further promote it in the future, but now we will start with Indonesia, and then talk about it later.

"System, what do you think of Zhang Xian's plan?" asked Li Quan, in fact, there was a show off in it.

The suzerainty system has existed since ancient times and has a history of thousands of years, but in modern times, it has basically existed in name only, and now it is only a micro-innovation.

System: "................"

"What's wrong?" Li Quan asked curiously, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, could it be that the system had crashed.

"System, are you there, is it dead?" asked Li Quan.

"No, just depressed. The system replied.

"What's wrong?" Li Quan asked curiously.

"The suzerainty system is actually something you need to do after the system is upgraded, I didn't expect to be brought out in advance by Old Man Zhang, can I not be depressed, in other words, do you want to upgrade or not, hell, I haven't seen you such a host who is not in a hurry. The system complained.

"Ahh Li Quan said happily.

"Don't you know a thing called, I've seen a lot of Huaguo, your brain is really powerful, you can actually think of a golden finger like the system, I feel that I have no secrets in front of you. The system continued to complain.

After Zhang Xian returned to the mansion, he began to improve his suzerain's plan all night, and he believed that this alone would allow him to leave his name in history and obtain great meritorious service.

In order to complete it better, he also found Shi Qiang, and the bad people provided Zhang Xian with a lot of information about Indonesia, such as which careerists, what strength they have, which warlords, what more deep-rooted Chinese forces in various places, and so on.

"I'm still young and in good health, and I stayed up all night for three nights without any problems. Zhang Xian said with emotion.

After three days of hard work, Zhang Xian sorted out his achievements, and before he had time to rest, he entered the palace to report to Li Quan the plan he had compiled and perfected in the past few days, hoping to get His Majesty's approval.

As for the division of the country, it is the emperor's authority, and if he is a cabinet chief and assistant on his own, it will be suspected of overstepping, so it is better to leave it to His Majesty to decide.

"Your Majesty, this is the entire plan compiled by the minister, please take a look at it. Zhang Xian submitted the report with dark circles under his eyes.

"Elder Ge is fortunate, you wait to go back and rest more. Li Quan said with concern.

"Your Majesty Xie cares, and the minister is not tired at all now. Zhang Xian replied that he was overly excited now.

Li Quan shook his head, didn't say anything more, if he didn't settle this matter, Zhang Xian would not go to rest, he knew Zhang Xian too well, so he took the report and looked at it carefully.

Li Quan found that the suzerainty system formulated by Zhang Xian was between the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty and the vassal system of the surrounding countries of the later dynasties, which was more relaxed than the feudal system and more stringent than the vassal system.

In general, these countries respect the New Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and the New Tang Emperor as the Son of Heaven, and the king of the subject country must be canonized by the Son of Heaven when he ascends the throne, otherwise the name is not justified, and other countries can crusade together.

The subject states are also divided into ranks, according to the economic strength, military strength and other comprehensive national strength of the subject countries are divided into vassal states, principalities and kingdoms, if necessary, even between the three can be subdivided, the amount of annual tribute required by different levels of subject states is different.
