The Protectorate was once a special organization established in ancient times in Daxia to strengthen control over the borders.
It has the functions of controlling the various tribes, appeasing the conquerors, describing merits and punishments, etc.
In modern terms, it is similar to stationing troops in one place to suppress one party, and having great autonomy.
When the Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful, six protective offices were established: Anxi, Anbei, Andong, Annan, Shanyu, and Beiting.
Countries like the Southern Territory finally got rid of the control of the Great Xia Protectorate and became independent and self-reliant countries, no longer affected by the outside world.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng now brought up the old matter again and restarted the ancient Protectorate system to strengthen his control over the countries in the southern region.
Moreover, the company will set up thirteen protective palaces throughout the Southern Territory!
The treaty sounds good, it is to strengthen bilateral cooperation and regional stability.
But in fact, the kings of all the countries knew full well that it was Daxia's hand that wanted to extend into their countries, strengthen their control over them, and monitor their every move.
Once the Protectorate is established, the previous behavior of cooperating with the Western countries and raising troops to build momentum will no longer be possible.
It may even be difficult to see Western envoys in the future, let alone cooperate.
The thirteen countries in their southern region were completely reduced to Daxia's vassals and controlled by them.
Coupled with other harsh treaties, annual taxes and tributes and other issues, their countries have been robbed completely.
Therefore, after seeing this treaty, the heads of the various countries, even if they risk their lives, must argue with reason. At least this Protectorate must not be established.
Once established, sovereignty will be challenged and the Thirteen Kingdoms will exist in name only!
Over time, these kings may be completely ignored. Over time, the Southern Territory will completely become the territory of Daxia.
"Master Ye, please spare us this time. From now on, we are willing to obey any orders from Daxia and cooperate with any of your actions. I think there is no need for the Protectorate or anything like that."
"Yes, our self-management ability is quite strong, so we don't have to worry about Daxia's soldiers coming here to suffer hardships."
"From now on, we will definitely cooperate with Daxia in everything and never defect to the West again. I dare to swear a vicious oath now! If I rebel again, I will be reincarnated as a commoner in Daxia in my next life!"
At this time, the king of Piao State signed without even looking at it.
The kings of the other countries were stunned. They did not expect that a traitor would appear among them so quickly!
"You signed without even looking at it!?" King Annan stomped his feet angrily, "Are you willing to let Daxia set up a protective palace on your side?"
"What do you mean?" King Piao scratched his head and asked, "What is the Protectorate?"
As soon as these words came out, all the kings fell down one after another and were completely speechless.
In the end, it was thanks to a brief explanation from the leader of Zhenla Kingdom that the king of Piao Kingdom barely understood the meaning of the Protectorate.
Then he said in surprise: "There is such a good thing!!?"
"Da Xia has set up a Protectorate in our country, Piao, to help us strengthen our rule and stabilize our domestic situation. In this way, aren't we, Piao, a part of Da Xia? Can you also give our citizens of Piao a capital?
Send me an ID card!"
"We in the Piao Kingdom admire the prosperity of Daxia and have long wanted to be a part of Daxia!!!"
