Chapter 886: Pacify the North
Banggul surrendered, and Modrek did not directly execute the king of Murozong, but laid out two paths for him to choose.
One is to surrender Bangguli Kingdom, and give the throne to his third son Li Zhe, Li Zhe is one of the five sons of King Murojong, the most recent pro-Lakasia one, as early as Bangguli Kingdom threatened to fight against Lakalia to the end, Li Zhe suggested that it should not be easily confronted, the ancient system should be restored, and Lackassia should bow down to ensure the existence of Bangguli Kingdom.
It is a pity that the king of Murojong did not follow Li Zhe's advice, but instead adopted the advice of the main battle faction and adopted a confrontational posture towards Lakassia, which eventually led to today's tragic ending.
Now Modrek wants King Murojong to abdicate voluntarily and let Li Zhe succeed to the throne of Banggul Kingdom, which is undoubtedly a reliable partner for Lakassia.
The second way is to directly incorporate Banggul Kingdom into the territory of La Cassia, set up counties, and completely end the local power of Banggul Kingdom.
Obviously, the second way is the last thing Bang Guli Guo wants to accept, and the king of Murozong has no choice but to accept the first suggestion, give up the throne to his third son Li Zhe, and officially announce his abdication.
After his abdication, King Murojong was sent to Lacazia, and the newly succeeded Li Zhe became the King of Chengxuan of Bangguli Kingdom.
Li Zhe is a man who is well-versed in accidents, and he knows how to balance diplomacy.
He knows very well that there is no reciprocal relationship between Banggul and Lacazia, and the strong Lacasia has the strong strength to crush Banggul, which has been perfectly reflected in the previous two wars, in the face of such a powerful country, being strong and competitive is tantamount to an act of death, and the best way to save yourself is to surrender to him.
Learn from his advanced culture and systems, follow their manners, and make them see themselves as their own people, so as to reduce contradictions and conflicts.
As long as the other side eliminates the desire to destroy itself, his country can be saved.
As for what the future holds?
Then it depends on the fortune of the children and grandchildren.
Maybe one day the sky will change, and there will be a more powerful country that can deter Lacazia, and perhaps, then the Bangguli Kingdom will usher in its own spring.
When the time comes, he may be able to attach himself to a more powerful empire, balance between the two powers, and profit left and right.
After Mordrak put down the rebellion of Bangulia, his prestige was once again raised, and his position was raised from the position of Governor of Liguria to the position of Governor of the East, and he not only had the right to govern all military and political affairs of Riguria, but even had all the rights to handle the affairs of the Eastern countries independently.
In other words, if Mordrac doesn't like anyone, he can directly mobilize his army to start a war without reporting to Lacasia.
After Modrac's division, the neighboring small countries all submitted their credentials to Modrac, and many small and weak countries took the initiative to seek protection from Mordrac and were willing to be a vassal state of Lakazia.
Some of these small countries have only a few cities, and the big ones are only a few hundred miles away, they are powerless to resist the big empires, and they endure the bullying of other countries at any time on weekdays, and now they finally encounter a powerful empire, they naturally want to find a strong backer to end the history of being bullied.
In just half a year, more than 20 small countries have submitted their credentials, and they are willing to adopt the era name of Lacaxia, use the currency of Lacaxia, and pay tribute to Lacacia every year, hoping that Lacazia can come to the rescue and help them when they are attacked by a third country.
Mordrak couldn't help but laugh when he read the earnest letters and the annual tribute they promised.
These small countries seem to be being bullied very badly, otherwise, how could they pay more tribute than taxes?
That is to say, even if Lacacia annexes these small countries, the taxes collected every year are not as much as the tributes they take the initiative to pay, that is to say, it is better not to occupy them, anyway, they will take the initiative to pay tribute, and the province itself will send people to collect taxes.
Mordrake was naturally happy to accept such terms, and immediately signed an alliance with more than 20 small countries, these 20 small countries will treat Lakasia as a suzerain, one country is in trouble, all sides support, allies, no attack on each other, if there is a conflict of interests, you need to listen to the mediation of the suzerain, follow the wishes of the suzerain, if any allies do not listen to the suzerain, other allies will collectively attack it, known as the Karthas Agreement, also known as the First Eastern Covenant.
After the signing of the alliance, Lacazia ushered in a three-year period of peace, during which the surrounding small countries obtained a relatively stable environment and their economic strength was improved to a considerable extent.
And because Modrek occupies the most prosperous and prosperous plain of Liguria, it has made great strides in both military and economic development.
Seeing that the life of the Liguriasnadir Federation is getting better day by day, the previous sporadic rebels have gradually given up resistance, laid down their weapons, returned to their hometowns, and started a new life.
No matter how you resisted before, as long as you are willing to change your ways, lay down your arms, and pick up a hoe, you are a good citizen, and the Governor's Mansion will not embarrass you, nor will it settle accounts with you, and as long as you change your ways, you can take your weapons to the governments at all levels under the Governor's Mansion in exchange for living allowance funds to help you restore your industry and start a family.
It is precisely this kind of policy of being close to the people that makes the people who resist less and less, the willingness of the common people to fight lower and lower, and the call for enjoying a peaceful life more and more intense.
Spring goes to autumn, Ji Ran sits in a carriage, looking at the endless yellow rice fields on both sides of the road, as if he is in a golden ocean, and the heavy rice ears sway back and forth with the wind, like waves, rolling back and forth, dazzling.
In the fields, the farmers began to prepare to harvest the rice, and each village gathered a number of strong bulls to share the pressure of the farmers.
These bulls were rented from the government at very low rents, almost as much as for nothing, charging only one percent of the average harvest per acre, which was previously unimaginable.
These sturdy bulls are herded by the government in the northern grasslands on weekdays, and then distributed by the government according to the needs of each locality during the autumn harvest season.
After the autumn harvest is over, the bulls are reclaimed by the government and continue to be roamed in the northern grasslands.
