Qin Dong received news from Rome in the following period of time, the new emperor of the Western Roman Empire, Majorian, did have a good ability, after he ascended the throne as emperor, he immediately began to rectify the internal affairs, for the taxes owed by ordinary people, and has been delayed for several years, he issued an edict to exempt these long-term arrears of taxes, and did not allow officials to collect debts from the people everywhere in any form and under any pretext.

In addition to these, Majorian also promulgated a number of laws, including laws related to marriage, God knows what Majorian thought, he actually paid special attention to marriage laws, he promulgated a law related to marriage to avoid unreasonable marriages, and at the same time had the effect of increasing the number of people.

Although Majorian was young and powerful, his ability was outstanding, but the Western Roman Empire's actions were indeed worrisome, its problems were much stricter than those of the Eastern Roman Empire, there were nobles and wealthy families, corrupt officials and corrupt officials exploiting the people, and then there was a situation of warlords separating the country, not listening to the orders of the central government, and there were barbarians from time to time to invade the border and encroach on the country.

Qin Dong paid attention to the major events that happened in the surrounding countries from time to time, and while allowing the Xiongnu Empire to recuperate, he also began to prepare to solve the last bit of internal disputes in the Xiongnu Empire, that is, the matter of Urgan, the king of the Western Courtyard, and Sambus, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

The two men first followed Attila on his expeditions, and after Attila's death, he followed Erak, and after Attila's death. They are now also nominally Enek's courtiers, but in their own territory, no one else can interfere. The royal court on Qin Dong's side wants to send someone to take over the tax and financial power, that is a delusion, if you want to send someone to serve in the army of these two people or of course a civil servant, it is also a delusion, I am afraid that the person will be intercepted and killed by the two people secretly sent by these two people before they reach the middle of the road, these two people have a feeling that Qin Dong can be described as "the needle cannot be inserted, the water cannot penetrate", they are nominally the king of the western courtyard and the southern courtyard of the Xiongnu Empire. In fact, it has broken away from the Xiongnu Empire, and for such a situation, Qin Dong must not let this situation drag on for a long time.

For Sambus and Urgan two. Qin Dong thought about it for a long time and decided to adopt the "one country, two systems policy" for the territory ruled by these two people, and also in order not to use swords and soldiers, to preserve the vitality of the Xiongnu Empire as much as possible.

Listening to this term feels like a policy of later generations. In fact, the one country, two systems here is completely different. On the territory of Sambus and Urgan, as long as they surrender the control of the army, they can have a high degree of autonomy in local government, and on their territory, they can make their own laws, appoint their own officials, collect their own taxes, and 30 percent of the taxes must be paid to the royal court for the maintenance of the garrison. The rest of the proceeds belonged to them, and the only thing they had to hand over was the right to control the army and the right to do foreign affairs.

Such conditions can be described as very generous. After a period of deliberation and after convening officials to discuss, Qin Dong made a decision to promulgate a policy of one country, two systems for Sambus and Urgan, allowing them a high degree of autonomy, but they had to surrender military and diplomatic powers, and sent envoys to the territories of Urgan and Sambus respectively to convey Qin Dong's intentions.

But said that the two envoys went to the territory of Urgan and Sambus to meet them respectively, and Urgan did not express anything after learning of Qin Dong's intentions, neither saying that he agreed with Qin Dong's plan nor did he disagree, but just told the envoy that he needed time to think about it in detail, and if he thought it clearly, he would naturally notify the royal court, and then he would send the envoy back politely, but Qin Dong had long thought that Sambus and Urgan would do this, so he explained before the two envoys set off, they only had half a year to think about it, and after the deadline, Even if those two wanted to return to obedience according to the above plan of one country, two systems, Qin Dong would not accept it. But after listening to the envoy's words, Urgan forcibly expelled the envoy from his own territory.

On the other hand, Sambus is different, Sambus is a very rational person, he knows that he is now weak and Qin Dong is powerful, and he may not be able to compete with the Xiongnu royal court for a long time, and now the Xiongnu royal court headed by Qin Dong is not only strong and strong, but also occupies the name of righteousness, he is at a disadvantage congenitally, no matter what, he can't fight Qin Dong, in addition to Qin Dong's control of the Xiongnu royal court power, he also needs to face the local warlords of the Western Roman Empire in the south, such as the warlords Egidious and the Ostrogoths in northern Gaul, Ghpid people.

The situation faced by Sambus is much more complicated than that of Urgan, although he has more troops than Urgan, but his pressure is greater, he is already very difficult to deal with Egidious, the Ostrogoths, and the Gepids, if Qin Dong wants to engage him now, he believes that he will definitely not be able to withstand it, he can see farther than Urgan, he knows that he will not be able to do it for a long time, taking advantage of the conditions given by Qin Dong now, it is better to be obedient, and it is already very good to be able to obtain the administrative power in his territory, It is inevitable that military power and diplomatic power will be lost, after all, no one in power will be at ease to put military power in the hands of local administrators and let him sit big.

Sambus left the envoy sent by Qin Dong to see him in his palace to entertain him, and then gathered all his subordinates to explain the envoy's intention, and immediately after everyone heard it, some people opposed it, Sambus had long known that there would be such a situation, and he suppressed the opposition with just one sentence, that is, when Qin Dong's army pressed the border, what to resist? Most of the troops were deployed on the northern border with the western empire's Gaul province, and some were deployed on the border with the Ostrogoths, and it was impossible to draw up troops to resist the large army of Qindong.

After reaching a preliminary agreement with his subordinate generals, Sambus sent an envoy from Qin Dong to have specific discussions with him, Sambus agreed with Qin Dong's proposal to hand over military and diplomatic powers, and only retain administrative power, and expressed no objection, but to hand over 30% of the tax to the royal court, the amount is too much, at most 20%, after all, there are so many officials in his territory to pay salaries, but also have money to develop the territory, and he also has a large family to support, It costs money everywhere.

For this point, the envoy said that it could be discussed, after all, Qin Dong had already explained before coming that as long as Sambus and Urgan agreed to hand over military and diplomatic powers, everything else could be discussed, so the envoy began to bargain with Sambus, and finally the two sides reached an agreement on the tax paid to the royal court, which was reduced to two and a half, and this money would be used for the military expenses of the army stationed here, and could not be diverted for other purposes.

The problem of tax payment was thus solved, but Sambus also put forward another condition, that is, as the king of the southern court of the Xiongnu Empire, after all, this was canonized by Erak first, and no matter who did it in the current and future royal court, he could not deprive him of his title for no reason, and he, as a prince, could not do without a guard, so he asked to keep the 5,000-cavalry guard, and the military expenses of the 5,000-cavalry escort army were his own responsibility, and he did not need to be borne by the royal court.

The envoy did not dare to be exclusive after hearing this condition put forward by Sambus, this condition was not within the scope of his decision, so he told Sambus that he wanted to ask the royal court, and he could give Sambus a specific reply after the royal court replied, and Sambus said that it was okay, he could wait.

After receiving the report, Qin Dong considered that Sambus was a prince after all, and his identity was different, so it was appropriate to have a certain number of guards, but the number and establishment of this guard were worth considering.

After consulting with a few henchmen, Qin Dong decided to agree to Sambus's request and allowed him to retain a certain number of guards, but the name function of the establishment was set as "escort team" rather than "escort army", and the number should also be strictly limited, five thousand cavalry is too much, and the destructive power of such a huge number of cavalry is quite powerful, and it cannot be called an escort at all, but a veritable army, an army that can be pulled out to fight for the country, so for the number of Sambus's escort team, After thinking about it again, Qin Dong decided to give him a maximum of 2,000 people, and immediately sent people to reply after deciding, Sambus could only maintain an escort of 2,000 people at most, and half of the 2,000 people must be infantry, which was also Qin Dong's restriction on Sambus.

The envoy who lived in Sambus's palace soon received instructions from Saidika, and he immediately asked Sambus to express the opinion of the royal court, saying that in view of Sambus's good attitude and consciousness of giving up military and diplomatic powers, the royal court decided to agree with him to keep a certain number of escorts, and put it on the issue of the number of guards, and the envoy began to bargain with Sambus, Sambus insisted on keeping five thousand horses, and the envoy said that the royal court only allowed one thousand horses, which was unacceptable to Sambus, and the two argued, are sticking to the number they give.

Later, both of them had to give in, and Sambus refused to be less than any less when he said that he wanted to keep three thousand cavalry, while the messenger insisted on the number of one thousand and five, and seeing that Sambus still refused to be less, he said to Sambus, the king wants to keep such a large number of guards, do you want the royal court to be on guard and suspicious of you? Fifteen hundred men are enough to protect the safety of the king and his family, so let's give in to each other, and the king can keep a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry, a total of two thousand men and horses, so that this envoy can go back to Da Danyu and His Royal Highness the Regent!

The envoy's words reminded Sambus, it is true, too many troops retained will indeed always cause suspicion and defense on the part of the royal court, maybe in order to reduce the risk, after the negotiation is over, the military power will be handed over, and the people on the side of the royal court will be black, rather than that, it is better to keep a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry according to what the envoy said, which may also be the bottom line of the royal court.

Sambus immediately reached an agreement with the envoy, and the two sides signed a treaty document, which can be regarded as a certificate, which can also reassure Sambus, after all, this kind of matter that involves too much is too heavy, and if the agreement is not signed, Sambus may not believe in the sincerity of the royal court.
