Chapter 936: The Achievements of the Ten Southern Countries

Chengdu, Chu Palace.

At the beginning, when Kou Feng ascended the throne, he was called the son of Chu. The palace is still very simple, but at this moment it has a bit of the spirit of a palace. At least, on the outer city wall, there was a big breakthrough, the palace wall of the high, forming a small inner city.

Although Kou Feng did not have much interest in enjoyment, Chengdu was not a place to establish the prestige of the imperial palace. But for their own protection, they are very concerned.

There are tall palace walls, so as to better play the effect of defense.

On this day, it was very dark and drizzling.

"Spring."

In the palace where the queen of the Chu Palace's residence lived, Kou Feng stood in the corridor, looked at the sky, and said softly.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the ten southern countries have arrived." Kou Shui came to Kou Feng's side and said.

Feng nodded, turned around and walked into the dormitory. In the dormitory, Cai Da led some palace maids and was ready. Tiara, tiara.

"Put it on." Kou Feng commanded Cai Da.

Da promised and ordered the palace ladies to dress Kou Feng. Under the costumes of the palace maids, Kou Feng soon took on a new look.

The symbol of the Son of Heaven, the crown of twelve beads, the majestic crown.

At this moment, Kou Feng is the son of heaven of the Chu State.

After wearing it, Kou Feng came to the outside of the palace and ordered to Kou Shui, who was standing.

Shui promised and escorted Kou Feng towards the palace hall.

The so-called Ten Southern States are the countries established by the five southern countries and the sixteen ministries after several months of fighting. At the beginning, there were a total of 21 forces in the south.

Yelang is arrogant and wants to compete with the Chu State for Dali City. Kou Feng ordered the killing of the lords and leaders of the six tribes of the five countries. Then with Zhuge Liang as the envoy, he led the remaining ten leaders to divide up all the land in the south.

And the condition for the support of the Chu State is to gather the wealth of the five countries and six tribes killed by Kou Feng. Some time ago, according to Zhuge Liang's good news, the leaders of the ten tribes had successfully carved up the south, established ten countries, and sent their sons or brothers to Chengdu to ask for protons.

And with it a great deal of wealth.

Now, because of the problem of the armor needed by the 8,000 broken army, the finances of the Chu State have gone from being generous to being a little tight. 300,000 gold.

Moreover, the technology of using books, as well as the title of the eldest lord, there are still two months to attract merchants to raise funds. During this time, if something big happens.

There may be a little problem with the adaptability of the Chu State.

Therefore, this batch of wealth is timely rain for the Chu State.

Today is the day when the envoys of the ten nations arrive.

Soon, Kou Feng reached the edge of the main hall, entered through one side room, and then passed some roads to a small room at the back of the main hall.

When Kou Feng arrived in the small room, an attendant had already walked out first.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived." In the shrill voice of the chamberlain, Kou Feng walked out of the small room behind him, that is, the main hall, on the left side of the throne.

Then he walked to the throne step by step. In this process, Kou Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and the inner servant, that is, the eunuch. Regarding the question of using internal servants, Kou Feng had a little hesitation.

Because Kou Feng felt a little too much. However, on this point, Jiang Wan is very resolute, no, all the civil and military ministers are very resolute.

also used Kou Feng a reason that could not be refuted, if the palace people and the servants were in chaos, then the heavenly family would be in chaos. To put it simply, if you don't use an inner servant, the palace maid commits adultery with a man, and the bloodline will be messed up.

Although Kou Feng can guarantee that his women are loyal, he can't guarantee the next generation, and the next generation is a problem. Therefore, the use of internal servants is a relatively helpless, but it must be implemented.

It's just that, although he agreed, Kou Feng was a little unnatural for the inner servant. Therefore, Kou Feng frowned.

"The foreign minister has seen Chu Tianzi."

In the main hall, there are ten people sitting in front of Kou Feng and saluting, which is very standard Han etiquette, and even the words are all Chinese.

Kou Feng raised his head and looked at the ten people.

Ben's frown immediately stretched. Last time, when Kou Feng met the so-called lords and leaders of the sixteen tribes of the Five Kingdoms, they were all dressed as standard barbarians.

But at this moment, these envoys had already put on their hair in a bun and dressed in Han Chinese clothes. Kneeling and sitting are also presentable.

Weak countries will always be influenced by strong countries. Now that the Chu State is strong, it will definitely make the man's small countries feel afraid.

But on the other hand, he longs to become as powerful as the Chu State. So, they will learn everything about the Chu State, the costumes, the language, the culture, and so on.

But for the state of Chu, this change is also a good thing. Culture invaded the enemy country.,That's the beginning of sinicization.。 In a few decades, hundreds of years, those small countries in the south will be the same as the Han people.

Language and culture are common.

It is also conducive to the conquest of the successor king.

Of course, Kou Feng was pleased with this change.

At the visit of these envoys, Kou Feng hummed and nodded. Immediately, he said to the attendant next to him: "What about the translation?" ”

Kou Feng knew that it was already good for these people to speak a word of Chinese, and if he wanted to have a simple conversation with him, it would be a dream. At critical moments, translations are still needed.

And the reactions of these ten people also confirmed Kou Feng's guess, only to see that after Kou Feng hummed, the faces of these envoys were either dazed or pale.

I didn't understand what it meant, and I felt that the Kou Feng worn by the standard Son of Heaven was extremely majestic. I'm nervous.

"Lord Chen is already waiting outside the hall."

The chamberlain replied.

"Recruit in."

Kou Feng nodded and said.

"No."

After the waiter made a promise, he immediately shouted: "Xuan attendant Chen Fei entered the hall." ”

Before the words fell, a middle-aged man walked in outside the door. His appearance is not good, his complexion is a little dark, and from his appearance, he knows that he is a person who lives in the southern environment all year round.

This is Chen Fei, an ordinary translator who doesn't even have a formal official position, and is barely an attendant.

"Meet Your Majesty."

As soon as Chen Fei entered the main hall, he bowed to Kou Feng.

Feng nodded, and then, looking around, among these envoys, there were still many people who were pale, full of apprehension, and even fear.

couldn't help but say: "Tell them first, Lone didn't blame them." Peace of mind. ”

Fei Ying promised, immediately turned around, and chattered at the ten envoys for a while.

The ten envoys were obviously relieved. His face had regained his composure, but his gaze at Kou Feng was still full of awe.

Kou Feng's guess was right, these ten countries were full of fear of Chu.

Although, the days when the five southern countries and sixteen ministries were fighting each other have become a thing of the past, the establishment of ten countries has brought a certain stability and even prosperity.

The power of various countries has also increased greatly. But the establishment of these ten countries is inseparable from the wisdom of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's wisdom played a pivotal role in this process.

Let the high-level leaders of these countries understand that the Chu State is not only powerful in terms of military strength, but also in wisdom. Therefore, they unconsciously learned the culture, dress, and language of the Han people.

In the process of Chen Fei's translation, Kou Feng picked up a scroll of bamboo slips on the case. This scroll of bamboo slips entered Chengdu with the envoys of many countries, Zhuge Liang's official documents.

The above is a brief introduction to the current situation of the 10 countries in the South.

Although the South claims to be ten countries with a population of more than 2 million, in fact, there are only two forces left, and it is a multinational alliance of six countries. The dominant player in the alliance is Thailand, with a population of about 1.2 million.

The other is a multinational consortium of four countries, with a population of about one million. The largest of these countries is called Qingguo.

The two forces are not hostile or friendly.

Kou Feng was surprised when he saw the word Thailand. However, it didn't dig too deep. The situation in Southeast Asia should have changed completely.

It doesn't matter what country it is.

As long as the cultural invasion is successful, the road construction is successful, and the exchanges between the two places are frequent. What Southeast Asia, a few hundred years later, may be the territory of the Han people.

Of course, it's just a possibility, what Kou Feng did was plant the seeds. Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the kings of future generations.

In addition to a brief introduction to the two forces, Zhuge Liang also briefly introduced two people in the official document. One of them is the eldest son of the king of Thailand, called Taito.

The other is the prince of Qingguo, called Qingxi.

They are all heirs of the two countries, and under the persuasion of Zhuge Liang, they were sent by their respective kings to stay in Chengdu as hostages.

This, Kou Feng understood at a glance. This was the practice of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and if there was an alliance or a vassal relationship, the prince would be sent as a hostage.

And when the princes of a country die, the prince of a foreign country, with the support of the foreign country, returns to China and becomes a prince. The foreign country has a great influence on the country.

Zhuge Liang's intention should be to let him make good use of these two princes. For example, to instill in them the culture of the state of Chu, as well as the thoughts. and deeply let them understand the strength of the Chu State.

Only when they realized the strength of the Chu State, after they returned to China to succeed to the throne, could they feel deep awe and dare not resist.

In addition, Zhuge Liang also explained a very important thing for the current Chu State. It was the original promise of the Ten Kingdoms that after annexing other countries, they would order the wealth left by those countries to be escorted into the Chu State.

As a reward for the intervention of the state of Chu. After Zhuge Liang's calculations, it was about 100,000 gold worth. Some precious stones, ivory, gold and silverware, etc.

One hundred thousand gold.

Seeing this number of words, Kou Feng's eyes lit up, and there was really no need to worry about the armor matter. However, Zhuge Liang did not write down what it was.

Rather, he said that the detailed list of items would be handed over to him by Prince Taito of Thailand himself.
