Chapter 517: The Danube River is the boundary
……
What does Gao Yang Yajun mean by asking this question? Gao Yang Yajun asked the ministers what the attitude of the Huaxia Empire towards other countries should be next.
Of course, Gao Yang Yajun can decide for himself, but as a monarch, Gao Yang Yajun also knows that there are some things that need to be listened to more by the ministers.
She is the monarch of the Chinese Empire, and she only needs to summarize the words of the ministers at the end.
As a monarch, you don't have a lot of strategy, but you have to know how to listen to your ministers and make the final decision.
A monarch is not something that indecisive people can do, and if it were peacetime, indecision might not cause any major problems.
But in times of war, indecision can lead to the prosperity of a country and its demise.
Which monarch and emperor did not step on the shoulders of countless people and ascend the throne and be crowned.
Even the Queen Mother Jaquilina, the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Poland, has long since abandoned her previous innocence and become a real ruler.
Now the Queen Mother of Poland has learned the art of being an emperor as a monarch, so during this time, the Queen Mother of Poland has been checking and balancing the four ministers.
Of course, it can only be checked and balanced, there are many soldiers under the command of the Polish general Simmonsbro, if Simmonsbro really wants to rebel, I am afraid that no one in the Kingdom of Poland can resist.
Therefore, the Queen Mother Jaquilina also knew that the banner of Tiger Pila was pulled, and the Kingdom of Poland was now a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.
The Empress Dowager Jaquilina knew that the Chinese Empire did not want any more turmoil within the Kingdom of Poland, and that the Chinese Empire did not want the Kingdom of Poland to change its appearance at every turn.
That's why the Queen Mother Jaquilina was able to balance the country in this way, dispatching the prime minister abroad and dispatching the general Simmons Burrow.
The Queen Mother of Poland, Jaquilina, can be said to have enjoyed the delicacy of power in the country.
Now if the Queen Mother Jaquilina is allowed to let go of power, I'm afraid Jaquilina will also be reluctant!
After all, now that he has the power, if he wants to delegate the power, then the status of the Queen Mother Jaquilina will disappear all of a sudden.
Fortunately, now that the Polish king Lanke is still young, the Queen Mother Jaquilina can still hold the rights of the Polish Kingdom for a few years.
But if the Polish king Lanke grows up, then there will definitely be a conflict between the Queen Mother Jaquilina and Lanko's mother and son.
And this contradiction is also likely to be fatal, it depends on the choice of their mother and son in the future.
Now the reason why Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, proposed to the ministers how the Chinese Empire should deal with the south.
This is actually quite simple, because the Chinese Empire now took the northern regions of Finland, the Sámi, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Naturally, the Chinese Empire would set up counties in these five regions, and there was also Finland (Finland) that set up counties.
However, other places have not yet been established, so the Chinese Empire now wants to stabilize other places as well.
Half of the Finnish region is pro-Chinese Empire, so the Chinese Empire is simple to manage.
But further north, it is not so good, and with the exception of Denmark and the Sámi, the other two regions are not at all pro-Chinese.
Moreover, each of these regions has produced its own culture, although it seems that the Norse people are the same culture.
But in fact, their dress and beliefs are very different, except that they all believe in Norse mythology.
In addition to this place, the American states occupied by the West of the Chinese Empire will also be developed, as well as the English and Wales regions of the British Islands occupied by the Chinese Empire, as well as the island of Ireland.
Naturally, the Chinese Empire in these three regions also had to establish a system of prefectures and counties, so the main focus of the Chinese Empire now must be on stabilizing the newly occupied areas.
Instead of a monolithic and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, there was also the Bulgarian kingdom of hard steel.
In addition to the new territories in the west, the Bolgar region in the east also needed manpower.
This greatly limited the desire for expansion of the Chinese Empire, and no matter how good the Chinese Empire was, the Chinese Empire was also a country and civilization dominated by agriculture.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to conquer and conquer like the nomads, and then let the local turmoil occur, which the Chinese Empire still cannot do.
The nomadic khanates had this characteristic, even the Khazar Khanate, which was the most civilized among the nomads.
Their main method of warfare was conquest and then letting the locals govern the area.
This is similar to the feudal system in the West, where the Khazar Khanate is only in charge of the various khans and kingdoms under its command.
However, the khazar khans and the kingdom's subordinates could not govern at all, so the khazar khans frantically promoted the Chinese official system.
The places under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Empire and the conquest were generally changed to the land and returned to the stream, and the prefecture and county system was established.
Although this may seem like a hassle, it was important for the future Chinese Empire to rule over the conquered regions.
In fact, the Chinese Empire has raised the question of whether the Chinese Empire can set up a Tusi system like the Tang Dynasty in the East.
made the local wealthy clan govern the local area, but Gao Yang Yajun strongly refused.
Gao Yang Yajun even took out the news of the independence of Yunnan in the Tang Dynasty to get the ministers to agree to the establishment of a liuguan system.
The Tusi system did not provide very beneficial benefits to the Chinese Empire, and it may even affect the development of the Chinese Empire in the future.
Because Tusi is not loyal to the dynasty, nor is it loyal to His Majesty the Son of Heaven, they are somewhat similar to satellite states.
If the country is strong, then the place where those toasts are the Chinese Empire, and those toasts are also officials of the Chinese Empire.
But if the Chinese Empire is weak, those Tusi will think about whether to be independent, or to change the monarch.
Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, would never allow such a thing to happen, and the land of the Chinese Empire was brought by the Chinese soldiers with a knife and a shot.
Gao Yang Yajun would rather hand over the land to the retired soldiers to manage, and she would not like to hand over the land to those big clans or big families in the local area.
Therefore, after unanimous discussion with the ministers, Gao Yang Yajun believed that the Chinese Empire could no longer fight.
It's not that the Huaxia Empire doesn't have the strength to fight, but the benefits of the next battle are not very large.
After all, the armies of the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman-Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria are now separated by the Danube.
And the Kingdom of Bulgaria actively set up a defensive line on the Danube, and the armies of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire also arrived in a steady stream.
The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was also helping the Kingdom of Bulgaria to set up a defensive line on the Danube.
Because both sides knew that the war that would determine whether the hegemon of this world would be the Chinese Empire or the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire in the future would definitely start on the Danube.
If the Chinese Empire's armies had reached the other side of the Danube, the Kingdom of Bulgaria would have almost perished.
