Transform into a fairy girl

Bangguli Kingdom surrendered, and Mordrake did not directly execute King Shizong, but gave him two paths to choose from.

The first is to surrender to the Banggulli Kingdom and give up the throne to his third son Li Zhe. Among the five sons of the royal family, Li Zhe is the closest to Lacassia. As early as in the Bangguli Kingdom, he threatened to attack Lacassia. When Cassia fought to the end, Li Zhe suggested that we should not fight easily, but should restore the ancient system and bow to La Cassia to ensure the existence of Bangguli Kingdom.

It is a pity that King Shizong did not follow Li Zhe's suggestion. Instead, he adopted the suggestion of the main war faction and adopted a confrontational stance against Lacassia, which ultimately led to today's tragic ending.

Now Mordrake hopes that King Shi Zong will voluntarily abdicate and let Li Zhe inherit the position of king of Bangguli Kingdom. This is undoubtedly a reliable partner for Lacassia.

The second way is to directly incorporate Banggulli Kingdom into the territory of Lacassia, set up counties and counties, and completely end the local political power of Banggulli Kingdom.

Obviously, the second path was the last one that Bangguli Kingdom wanted to accept. King Shizong had no choice but to accept the first suggestion, gave up the throne to his third son Li Zhe, and officially announced his abdication.

After abdicating, King Shijong was sent to Lacassia, and the newly succeeded Ri Chul became King Seungseon of Bangguryeo.

Li Zhe is a person who is proficient in accidents and knows how to balance diplomacy.

He knew very well that there was no reciprocal relationship between Bangguli Kingdom and Lacacia. The powerful Lacassia had the power to crush Bangguli Kingdom. This had been achieved in the previous two wars. It is a perfect embodiment. In the face of such a powerful country, being strong and competitive is tantamount to seeking death. The best way to save oneself is to surrender to him.

Learn from their advanced culture and systems, follow their etiquette, and make them regard themselves as one of their own, thereby reducing contradictions and conflicts.

As long as the other party eliminates its desire to destroy itself, its own country can be preserved.

As for what the future will be like

That depends on the fate of the descendants.

Perhaps one day things will change, and a more powerful country will be able to intimidate Lacassia. Perhaps then, Bangguli Country will usher in its own spring.

When the time comes, perhaps he can be attached to a more powerful empire, coexist in a balanced way between the two powerful countries, and profit from both sides.

After Mordrake put down the rebellion in Bangguli Kingdom, his reputation was once again improved, and his position was also raised from the position of Admiral of Liguria to the position of Governor of the East. He not only had the right to take charge of all military and political affairs of Liguria , and even has all the rights to independently handle matters with the Eastern countries.

In other words, if Mordrake doesn't like someone, he can directly mobilize the army to start a war without having to report to Lacassia.

After Mordrake took over, the neighboring small countries all submitted letters of credence to Mordrake. Many small and weak countries took the initiative to seek asylum from Mordrake and were willing to become Lacacia's vassal state.

Some of these small countries only have a few cities, and the largest one is only a few hundred miles in radius. They are unable to fight against the big empire. They usually endure bullying from other countries at all times. Now they finally meet a powerful empire.

Empire, they naturally want to find a strong backer to end the history of being bullied.

In just half a year, more than twenty small countries have submitted letters of surrender. They are willing to adopt the reign name of Lacassia, use the currency of Lacassia, and pay tribute to Lacassia in currency and tribute every year. They just hope that La Cascia can come to the rescue and help them when they are attacked by a third country.

Mordrake couldn't help but smile after reading these earnest letters of credence and the annual tribute they promised.

It seems that these small countries have been bullied badly. Otherwise, how could they issue tributes that are higher than taxes?

In other words, even if Lacassia annexes these small countries, the taxes collected every year are not as much as the tributes they actively pay. In other words, occupying them is not as good as not occupying them. Anyway, they will By taking the initiative to pay tribute, you will save yourself the trouble of sending people to collect taxes.

Mordrake was naturally happy to accept such terms, and immediately signed alliances with more than twenty small countries. These two dozen small countries regarded Lacacia as their suzerainty. When one country was in trouble, all parties supported it, and among the allies, They are not allowed to attack each other. If they encounter interest disputes, they need to listen to the suzerain's mediation and comply with the suzerain's wishes. If an ally does not listen to the suzerain's instructions, other allies will collectively attack it. This is known as the Karsus Agreement in history, also known as the First Time. Eastern Covenant.

After signing the alliance, La Cascia ushered in a three-year period of peace. During these three years, the surrounding small countries have achieved a relatively stable environment, and their economic and national strength has been greatly improved.

And because Mordrake occupies the most prosperous and prosperous Ligurian Plain, both military and economic development have been rapid.

Seeing that the days of the Ligurias Nadir Federation were getting better day by day, the sporadic resisters before gradually gave up their resistance, put down their weapons, returned to their hometowns, and started a new life.

Mordrake has always adopted a tolerant policy towards those who resisted. No matter how you resisted in the past, as long as you are willing to change your ways, put down your weapons, and pick up your hoe, you are a good citizen, and the Governor's Mansion will not embarrass you or fight with you. Settle the accounts after the fall, and as long as you correct your evil ways, you can take weapons to the governments at all levels under the Governor's Mansion in exchange for living subsidy funds to help you restore your industry and start a family.

It is this kind of people-friendly and gentle policy that makes fewer and fewer people resist, the people's willingness to fight becomes less and less, and the call for enjoying a peaceful life becomes stronger and stronger.

As spring passed and autumn came, Ji Ran sat in a carriage and looked at the endless yellow rice fields on both sides of the road, as if she was in a golden ocean. The heavy rice ears swayed back and forth with the wind, like waves, rolling back and forth, dazzling. .

In the farmland, the farmers are beginning to prepare to harvest rice, and many strong bulls have gathered in each village to share the pressure of the farmers.

These bulls are all rented from government departments, and the rent is very low, almost like using them for nothing. Each acre of land only charges one percent of the average harvest, which was unimaginable before.

These strong bulls are usually raised by the government on the northern grasslands. During the autumn harvest season, the government distributes them according to the needs of various places.

After the autumn harvest is over, the bulls are taken back by the government and continue to roam the northern grasslands.
