At the New Year's banquet, Emperor Su He had fun with the people.
After the banquet, most people left the palace in an orderly manner.
Emperor Su He led the prince and his important officials and nobles to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.
King Rui Su Lei looked at the prince Su Shu in front of him. This trip to Qianqing Palace would be an important opportunity for his fate to change.
What he expected was true. The matters discussed at the Qianqing Palace this time must be the territories owned by the major vassal states.
Now he can only hope that his father is not completely disappointed in him and can give him a good place.
King Rui Su Lei walked into the Qianqing Palace with anxiety.
He often came to Qianqing Palace when he was a child. When he grew up, he could count the number of times he came to Qianqing Palace on one hand.
Arriving at the Qianqing Palace again this time, King Rui Su Lei was filled with emotion and carefully wrote down every detail of the Qianqing Palace.
He expected that this would be his last visit to Qianqing Palace.
Those who have positions in the Qianqing Palace will do well in their positions.
For those who have no place, Zhou Fangzhi, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of rituals, is leading the young eunuchs to arrange their places.
When Emperor Su He saw that everyone was seated, he asked Zhou Fangzhi, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of rituals, to bring a large map.
This is a simplified map of Arabia and Europe, marking the main mountains, rivers and rivers.
The key point is that this map does not mark the complete national territories as most people imagine.
On this map, the area is divided into grids according to the terrain according to three colors: white, green, and gold.
These grids are very large. According to the scale of the map, the smallest grid is the size of Qiongzhou, and the largest grid is enough to cover a whole province.
Emperor Su He pointed at the map and said: "The Arab region and the European region were conquered by the empire's troops.
I want to give you these lands, but if I do so, the lord of the vassal country who spent a lot of money before will feel unfair.
The officials and people of the empire will also complain.
It occurred to me that before launching the attack, the war bonds sold by the court were secured by the value of the land in these places.
Through the sale of war bonds, I have decided to conduct a friendly public bidding with you to purchase European land.
Which place to buy depends entirely on your own taste.
At the beginning of the bidding, you are only allowed to buy a piece of golden territory and its adjacent territory as your core territory.
If there is remaining territory in the future, neighboring countries can bid against each other.
Adjacent territory must be purchased, no enclaves are allowed.”
Emperor Su He finished talking about the method of allocating territory among the vassal states this time.
The anxious hearts of most people have become calm.
They all have their own worst fears.
King Sulei of Rui was worried about his country, which bordered on the territory of the empire or appeared in a bitter cold land.
His relationship with the prince Su Shu was too bad, and there was no problem with his father's reign. When the prince Su Shu ascended the throne, it would inevitably hit the vassal country where he lived.
If the vassal country is in a bitter cold land, there will be no room for development.
Especially those countries in Northern Europe that surrendered directly have all these two conditions.
King Sulei glanced at the Nordic countries that he was worried about.
These countries are intertwined with green and white, and none of them is gold.
Emperor Su He waited until everyone had digested the news.
He ordered in a calm tone: "The order of the frames is to follow the order of important ministers of the imperial court, frontline generals, and princes. One person will be selected at a time, and the territory will be selected in order."
When Emperor Su He announced his plan, the two groups, the important officials of the imperial court and the frontline generals, were silent.
The sixth prince, Su Sheng, is the youngest among the princes.
He looked at the contemplative royal brothers and spoke in a clear voice: "Father, what you want is for us to decide the order of our choices.
I think we brothers should not hurt our feelings because of this matter, just choose in order of age. I will be the last choice."
The sixth prince Su Sheng tried his best to express himself.
His mother's family is not very powerful, and the money to purchase the territory still needs to be settled by his father, so he must behave well.
The other princes heard that the sixth prince was willing to do this.
None of them refuted. If they argued too much on this occasion, their father would be disappointed.
Choosing a territory is a big deal.
But to build a country from scratch, we still need a lot of help from our father, and we must not make him unhappy.
Among the princes, the one who has the most territorial ideas is the second prince Su Lei.
According to this rule, he is the third choice territory.
There are so many territories on the map. For the third choice, no matter how the first two choose, he can choose the territory that meets his requirements.
This rule is obviously beneficial to him, and as a person who has gained benefits, he will definitely not object to this rule.
The important officials of the imperial court saw that the princes were the first to determine the rules, and Emperor Su He had not yet objected.
They immediately realized that the princes' actions were approved by Emperor Su He.
As Shu King Qian Mingyi was a civil servant, the vassal state he established must not have sufficient military force.
It doesn't matter which territory he chooses first.
Qian Mingyi, the king of Shu, suggested: "I think we should not be unhappy because of this matter. We still need to help each other when establishing a country.
I suggest that we choose based on qualifications, what do you think?"
Wu Wangqi immediately supported it resolutely: "I think this method is good, and it doesn't harm harmony."
When he said this, he turned to look at Gui Wang Qutian. Among the four, he had the least qualifications.
King Qutian of Gui did not have high requirements for the location of his country.
He, a prince of princes, felt like he was falling from the sky.
"I don't have any problem, this plan is good."
King Chu Lu Chenyang saw that everyone else had already determined the method.
He suggested: "The order among us should be based on the number of enemy troops destroyed in this war and the area of the country occupied."
Song King Zhan Tie looked at Chu King Lu Chenyang and Xiang King Liang Feng.
"How do you calculate it between you? Is it half and half?"
King Liang Feng of Xiang said magnanimously: "It's all on King Chu. It's my last choice."
He knew that he was from a military supervisor, so it was too difficult to measure based on merit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As a confidant of Emperor Su He, he cannot make trouble on this occasion. Everyone will be happy if he takes a step back.
Everyone discussed their own internal order.
King Wu Qi resolutely followed the rules and was the first to choose the territory.
He stood up and pointed to where the Austrian region was.
"Your Majesty, I choose this area."
Wu Wangqi Gangyi, as the governor of the country, had a better understanding of the strength of various European countries.
Don't look at the Holy Roman Empire. When it encounters the army of the Great China Empire, it will soon be wiped out.
The troops they encountered were the First and Second Army of the Royal Army of the Great China Empire.
These two powerful armies have completed mechanization reform.
Let alone an agricultural country that has not yet completed industrialization, even other armies of the Royal Army cannot stop the joint attack of these two armies.
As one pole of European countries, the Holy Roman Empire could resist the combined armies formed by the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of England and other European countries.
The territory where the Holy Roman Empire was located must have a profound foundation, and its citizens were also powerful citizens.
Just look at the two golden territories of Austria and Hungary in the Holy Roman Empire, and you will know how powerful it is.
Chu King Lu Chenyang was the second choice.
He said with excitement: "Your Majesty, I choose the territory that originally belonged to the Kingdom of France.
Everyone, give me some face, I will bid for the green territory that originally belonged to the Kingdom of France."
King Lu Chenyang of Chu chose the Kingdom of France, and his motive was very simple.
He led troops to capture the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of France.
Austria, the core territory of the Holy Roman Empire, has been resolutely chosen by King Wu Qi.
He would definitely choose the Kingdom of France, which he occupied under his own command.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu was known as a conqueror in the Kingdom of France.
It will be extremely easy for him to rule the Kingdom of France. The local nobles know how powerful he is and will not resist his rule.
After King Lu Chenyang of Chu established his own country, he would definitely immigrate.
A large number of Han people immigrated into the country and moved some of the aborigines of the Kingdom of France out.
But he can't move all the local people out.
Whether it was the cost or the price paid, this was something that King Lu Chenyang of Chu could not bear.
There must be a large number of indigenous people left in the Kingdom of France, and they are afraid of King Lu Chenyang of Chu.
The important reason why Chu King Lu Chenyang chose the original territory of the Kingdom of France was also because many of the generals who controlled the military in the Kingdom of France were under him.
Some of these people are tired of the war.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu was confident of persuading these people and letting them stay in his country.
In this way, the stability of our own country is naturally much stronger than that of other countries.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu was thinking about what price he would have to pay to take over the entire Kingdom of France.
Whether he was borrowing money from the Dahua Imperial Bank controlled by Emperor Su He, or selling official titles in the new country, he accepted funds from his family.
No matter what the cost, he must achieve this goal.
King Rui Sulei walked up to his father. He first bowed to his father to say hello.
He then pointed to the location of the German Federation and said: "Father, Chen decided to choose this place."
The geographical conditions of the German Federation perfectly met his psychological expectations.
The German Federation is located in Western Europe, which is very far from the territory of the Great China Empire.
King Qian Mingyi of Shu saw the second round coming.
He walked to the front of the map and pointed to the location of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
"Your Majesty, I have decided to choose the Polish plain."
As a civil servant, King Qian Mingyi of Shu would definitely not choose a place where there would be fierce military conflict.
Similar to the German Confederation, there are also countries on the Balkan Peninsula.
These two areas were previously the scene of intense conflict between European countries and Europe and Ottoman Türkiye.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth met his requirements.
Jin Wang Li Fengming and Zheng Wang Zhongce were not military commanders, and the place they chose to found their country was also a territory suitable for farming.
Emperor Su He looked at the choice of Shu King Qian Mingyi.
He asked: "Qian Aiqing, are you sure to choose the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?"
King Shu Qian Mingyi nodded and confirmed: "Your Majesty, I have already considered choosing this quiet and peaceful territory.
I looked at European records, the black lands of southwestern Russia, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
It is Europe's main food exporting country.
The empire has included Russia into its territory, so I will choose the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
This place is suitable for farming, I don’t like hunting and killing.”
Emperor Su He heard Qian Mingyi's confirmation that he was not suitable to give advice on this occasion.
This is their own choice. Emperor Su He chooses to give guidance, so it is better to allocate it from the beginning.
When Gui Wang Qutian heard Shu Wang Qian Mingyi's choice, he shook his head.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is in the midst of four wars at first glance.
Unless the empire dominates the world, all vassal states will not dare to move.
Once a vassal country wants to provoke the empire, it must first capture the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth area.
A certain emperor of the empire chose to cut down the vassal vassal and march towards Western Europe, and this area was also the first place to be affected.
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, stepped forward. He looked at the map of Europe and saw that all the places he was satisfied with had been chosen by others.
The conflicts of faith in the Arab region are fierce. The most critical point is that this area is almost surrounded by imperial forces.
If you choose to build a country here, you will always be noticed by the empire and there will be almost no room for development.
King Bai Yuangui of Yue himself was loyal to Emperor Su He, but after he became a prince, his first consideration was the future development of his country.
"Your Majesty, I choose the Spanish region."
King Bai Yuangui of Yue thought for a long time and chose Spain.
He controls Europe's southernmost peninsula, and he only needs to cross the Strait of Gibraltar to extend his power deep into North Africa.
The state of Fujian claimed that North Africa was their territory, but the state of Fujian was unable to control North Africa.
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, was confident that he could control North Africa before Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian.
If it were the old Min King Zhang Yuliang, he would still be worried that the new Min King Zhang Wan would definitely not be his opponent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The third prince, Su Meng, imitated the second prince in greeting his father.
He then revealed the territory he had long thought about.
"Father, I choose Ottoman Türkiye's territory adjacent to Europe."
The third prince Su Meng also considered his own strengths and weaknesses.
His greatest advantage is that he is the son of Emperor Su He.
He must choose a territory close to the empire's homeland.
If you establish a country on this territory, it will not be attacked by other countries.
His second advantage is that he learned some Mongolian ways of doing things under the guidance of his mother since he was a child.
Ottoman Türkiye was a semi-nomadic country, and there were many tribes of herders on this land.
The third prince Su Meng has enough experience in managing these tribes.
He had asked his mother before and asked him to try to choose a safe territory.
His current methods are too immature to compete with the empire's veterans on the battlefield, so avoiding the edge temporarily is the best option.
King Qing Jiang Zhiyu stood in front of the map, but he was still hesitant.
His choices are not too few, but too many.
As a civil servant working in the Metropolitan Government.
He had some understanding of the character of the generals in the Dudu's Mansion.
The country they established was peaceful in a short period of time, but over time it would inevitably lead to conflicts.
King Qing Jiang Zhiyu decided to choose a country as far away from the militants as possible.
His first priority was the British Isles, but he later eliminated this option.
He did not have many connections in the navy and was unable to build a strong navy in a short period of time.
There is no navy to protect the British Isles, so there is no sense of security at all.
King Qing Jiang Zhiyu thought for a long time and decided to choose the territory north of Greece, east of Hungary, and close to the Black Sea.
Compared with Western Europe, Eastern Europe is an undeveloped place, and it is also a tasteless place in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, I choose the territory of Eastern Europe."
