Knowing that Zhu Zhantan's tribute was returned, everyone changed color, so Funan lost the protection of the Jin Kingdom.

Although the Jin State had not sent troops to protect them before, with this righteous name on their heads, other countries would not easily touch them.

After all, all the surrounding countries are vassals of the Jin Kingdom, and this identity is still binding to a certain extent.

Now that they are not, it is equivalent to a child losing his parents, everyone wants to bully, the key is that anyone can bully them.

Now there are only two ways to not want to be bullied, one is to become stronger, and the other is to find another big daddy.

Forget the road of becoming stronger by yourself, if it were so easy to become stronger, they would have been the first in the world long ago. Then there is only one way left, find another big daddy.

Who can be this daddy?

Everyone's eyes looked at Chang Zhu, Tang Guo, who was sitting quietly on the side.

Chang Zhu closed his eyes slightly and didn't say a word, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, but no one dared to ignore him at this time.

Li Xixing said: "In order to protect the Funan Kingdom, I have decided to pay tribute to the Tang Kingdom.

"My eldest son and second son, as well as the sons of the seven leaders of my Ansan Tribe, have all been sent to the Tang Kingdom as protons."

"The king of Tang also agreed to send troops to protect Funan, and this army outside the city will be permanently stationed in our country to protect the safety of our country."

Everyone didn't have any special reaction to Tang Guo's garrison here, this was the norm.

The Jin State stationed an army in the Linyi State, and also sent an assassin to come over, as if it was called Ruan Fu or something.

Why didn't the Jin State send officials to the garrison of Funan before? The answer hurts, and remote poor countries don't deserve it.

Otherwise, Emperor Jin would not have returned the tribute of Funan at will based on his personal preferences.

Don't say that you don't like elephants, it's really strong enough, even if you pay tribute to a mouse, Emperor Jin will accept it.

Chang Zhu suddenly opened his eyes and added: "I, the Tang State, came to help at the invitation of the Lord of Li, and I will not interfere in the affairs of Funan. ”

This sentence is not only to show that he will not interfere in internal affairs and the hearts of the people, but also to support Li Xixing. We came at the invitation of Li Xixing, and we only recognized him.

At this time, no matter what everyone originally had, they all knew that Li Xixing becoming the lord of Funan had become a foregone conclusion.

They don't think about opposing anything anymore, and start to think of ways to get more benefits for themselves.

However, Li Xixing didn't give them a chance at all, and took the initiative to throw out the plan he had drawn up.

The first article did not allow the various tribes to attack each other, so it won the support of almost all small and medium-sized tribes, and the large tribes were naturally unwilling.

Chang Zhu spoke again: "The news that Funan was abandoned by the Jin Kingdom will spread soon, and then the Dunxun Kingdom, the Linyang Kingdom, the Biu Kingdom, and even the Linyi Kingdom may do something to you." ”

"In this case, Funan must unite and infighting should not occur."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again, but the meaning was already expressed.

The big tribe did not dare to oppose even if their faces were very bad, and the small tribe was ecstatic.

When one of the most controversial agreements passes, the rest of the agreements become insignificant.

What small tribes migrated to live in the fertile land near the royal city - those small tribes had already regarded Tang Guo and Li Xixing as saviors at this time, and naturally agreed to come down.

To put it bluntly, who would want to hide in the harsh environment in the deep mountains and old forests if they could.

In the past, they were weak, and if they settled in fertile places, they would be swallowed by the big tribes with their bones, and they could only survive by hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.

Now with this clause, with the garrison of the Tang State, and with Li Xixing to uphold justice, they are naturally willing to move out.

Of course, they will inevitably still have doubts in their hearts, what if this treaty is a fraud?

But it doesn't matter, as long as one of them is willing to move over to set an example, the other tribes will naturally come out with it.

Credibility can be cultivated slowly.

It took almost a day for the new rules to be formulated, and Li Xixing officially became the lord of Funan and paid tribute to the Tang State.

This also announced that Funan had entered the era of Li Shi's rule.

After the alliance was over, the various ministries returned to the tribe and informed the higher-ups of the situation.

Li Xixing migrated his tribe to the royal city, which was no different from Zhu Zhantan in this regard.

The most trusted people lived in the inner city, and the outer city was inhabited by his direct subordinates, and the other tribesmen were placed in the fertile land around the royal city.

The four tribes that directly sent troops to help him were also placed in important places around the royal city. No troops were sent directly, but the small tribes that had previously supported him were also placed in fertile land.

It can be said that this wave of 'spoils' completely made him sit firmly in the position of the lord of the country.

The Tang State enclosed a military camp in a dangerous area ten miles away from the royal city, and Zhang Jie's regiment was stationed here.

When Zu Jizong left, he also left Ma Rui's cavalry company.

"You must be careful here, ensure your own safety before talking about him, and don't take any risks."

Ma Rui said: "Please join the army, rest assured, I will definitely bring back a lot of brothers." ”

Zhang Jie also said: "Please rest assured that Zu joined the army, there are enough materials and craftsmen in the country for a long time, and they are all docked in the Kunlun Islands." ”

"At this time, it is estimated that we are already on the way here, and when the materials and craftsmen arrive, the fortress will be built in less than a month, and no one will be able to help us at that time."

Ancestor Jizong nodded and said, "I naturally believe in you, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

After that, he and Chang Zhu took a boat along the Lancang River into the sea, and first went to Lucheng (Sanya) on Hainan Island, where they met Wang Youkun and exchanged information with him about Funan.

Then take a boat ride directly to Dongning Island.

Wen Yi was studying the steam engine with Sun Tai and others, and when he heard that they were back, he returned to the palace from the museum and met the two.

The two first reported what happened, and Wen Yi was very happy after hearing it: "Haha...... Yes, it went even better than I expected, and I am rewarded for your great achievements. ”

The two of them said in unison: "King Xie." ”

Chang Zhu said: "Li Xixing has already sat firmly in the position of the lord of Funan, can he carry out the education work?" ”

Wen Yi said: "Don't be in a hurry, first attract more natives to get out of the deep mountains and old forests and settle in the fertile places of the plains." ”

"Those big tribes will definitely not be so honest and keep their promises, and things that humiliate the weak will still happen, and the Guards must be vigilant and pay attention to this situation."

"As soon as it is discovered, we will strike at those who break the covenant with the power of thunder, so that the covenant can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the people of Funan can truly convince us."

"With trust, it's easy to talk about the rest of the story. Attract them with good food and gorgeous clothes, and then teach them ...... with culture"

Chang Zhu said: "Yes, the minister understands." ”

When they left, Wen Yi looked at the report and laughed again. The success of the first step of the Funan project is a good start.

After going according to the plan, I believe that it will not be long before Tang Guo will have another piece of land.

Then he went into the museum and pondered the steam engine with everyone.
