The leader of the Qingxiao Kingdom, the king of the Shenmu Kingdom, the queen of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, the general of the Snow Region, and Madam Hu of the Moon Shadow Kingdom, these leaders representing overseas countries actually knelt down and walked forward on their knees. No one was there.
Dare to look up to Chu Qianqiu.
Strong force can make people fearful, just like when Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army in Julu, the princes from all over the world were trembling with fear when they saw Xiang Yu, fearing that they would become his next target of attack.
"Everyone, please get up."
"I don't dare. Please forgive me, General."
The lords of various countries were trembling with fear, and the only one who was pretending to be so was Mrs. Hu from the Moon Shadow Kingdom. In order to be a second-in-command, she took cover when necessary, so naturally she would not be exposed, and kowtowed and shouted along with everyone.
"Everyone, what are you guilty of?"
Chu Qianqiu did not rush to wake them up, but said with a smile.
Since you are asking for forgiveness, what crime have you committed?
"this……"
"We should not have mistakenly believed the rumors of Lord Yunlong and thought that the general was coming to take away the territories and governance rights of various countries, and that is why we became enemies of the Celestial Kingdom."
"It is really a crime worthy of death. Please forgive me, General."
The leader of the Qingxiao Kingdom was the first to react. He was a vassal state of Daxia, and he was a relatively powerful member of the vassal state.
Now that Daxia was defeated, he was most worried about being treated like a chicken and killed, so he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
In fact, there are more than just these countries overseas, and the sea areas are vast.
It's just that many island countries are quite weak and are not qualified to participate in this war, or they are too far away and do not intend to participate in the war.
"This is not a rumor."
"That's what I really want to do. I want to collect all the overseas territories and carry out land reclamation and immigration."
Chu Qianqiu did not follow them in circles and spoke very frankly.
This was instantly unacceptable to the lords of various countries.
If all their lands, estates, and power were taken away, they would have nothing.
"General, you must not do this!"
"The country in heaven has a vast land and abundant resources, and there is nothing to be gained without property. Why do you have to look at me and wait for these meager soils and thin fields?"
"If it spreads, wouldn't it lose the style of the Celestial Empire?"
The Lord of Shenmu Kingdom quickly begged.
"I'm attracted to it, what's wrong?"
Chu Qianqiu sat on it with a golden sword, smiling and looking at the overseas kings who were kneeling on the ground.
Now Chu Qianqiu looks very much like King Chu Wu. Overseas countries wanted to shout a few words, but Chu Qianqiu made a gesture.
I am a barbarian!
If I say I'm going to rob you, I mean I'm going to rob you.
Now that you have lost, do you have any opinions?
There was a hint of resistance in their eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
Even if you want to resist, it's not now.
"This this……"
Lord Qingxiao's head felt a little short-circuited, and just as he was about to retort, Queen Sea Dragon also frowned and spoke.
"General, we can claim vassal status, pay tribute, and obey the orders of our superior country, but we must not lose our territory and face our ancestors without shame."
"Exactly, so do we!"
Others quickly followed suit.
For them, surrender, surrender, and paying tribute are the limit. If they are even deprived of their property, they might as well rebel directly.
After all, Chu Qianqiu's overseas power is too weak. Even if he controls Yueying Kingdom and Yunlong Kingdom, with Madam Hu and Queen Defi guarding the gates and supervising overseas territories for him, the ocean is very big.
Every territory is intricately connected.
Chu Qianqiu could kill all the lords, but he could not directly cross the ocean and rule these lands.
Even if it could be done, it would be very tiring.
He needs a group of people to manage overseas territories for him.
Can these people who surrender now be trusted?
Naturally, it cannot be trusted, but there is no way. Chu Qianqiu's expansion speed far exceeds the speed of his talent cultivation.
If he wants to take down the entire Zhenbei Army, he can only come up with one Xu Zishuang. Even among his wife group, there is not a suitable candidate.
Shenwu Dynasty, Daxia, and overseas countries all needed to employ people, but Chu Qianqiu didn't have many people on hand.
He could only temporarily retain some of his manpower to avoid chaos and poor control.
After all, Chu Qianqiu's expansion was too fast. Huang Qianhu created a private salt sales system to raise military wages for the Shenwei Army. He already had many talented people.
As a result, it has now expanded to the point where there is not enough manpower.
This is also their confidence.
"Is that what you all think?"
Chu Qianqiu said with a kind smile, without agreeing or rejecting. It was just the invisible pressure that made the Lord of Shenmu and others twitch in their hearts, but they still answered firmly:
"Exactly."
As a result, Mrs. Hu from Moon Shadow Kingdom gave a different account.
"The Moon Shadow Kingdom is willing to give everything and follow the general!"
Mrs. Hu saw that the time was ripe and immediately interjected.
Although everyone was kneeling on the ground, they were still glaring angrily. Now is the time to negotiate terms. Why did you surrender unconditionally?
"very good."
"Then Yueying Kingdom will be protected by the Celestial Empire and will not have to worry about being bullied by other countries."
"Shenwu Kingdom will also send officials to assist in governance."
"Even if the Moon Shadow Kingdom becomes an overseas state in the future, the royal family of the Moon Shadow Kingdom will still be rich and noble from generation to generation, and they will be one with the country."
"As for the punishment for participating in the war this time, just hand over half of your property."
Chu Qianqiu considered the cost of participating in the war for various countries and required them to pay ransom and restrain them.
Not only do you need to use them, but you also need to let them feel enough pain.
Chu Qianqiu's conditions were naturally very harsh. Queen Hailong's expression had changed, but Madam Hu seemed to be determined to join Chu Qianqiu, and she even took the initiative to propose even harsher conditions.
"How dare the Moon Shadow Kingdom be evenly divided with the Kingdom of Heaven? The Moon Shadow Kingdom is willing to pay 70% of its property as a warning to others!"
As soon as Mrs. Hu said these words, she immediately became a thorn in the eyes of others and a thorn in their flesh. They wanted to eat her alive.
"Since Queen Yueying has such an awareness, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile, and then looked at the others.
To sign or not to sign?
this is a problem.
"If you do this, what will be left for me!"
The Sea Dragon Queen said angrily.
"You still have life and freedom left."
"The Bei family in my dynasty and the Cha family have been favored by the emperor for a long time. Once they rebelled, their entire family was executed and those who survived were made slaves and maids."
"If you are unwilling to sign, Mr. Chu will let you go back and there is no harm in fighting again."
"It's just that the conditions for next time are all."
Chu Qianqiu said coldly, the [Emperor's Law] began to take effect, they hesitated for a moment, and finally everyone nodded.
"I am willing to surrender."
"Then sign."
Chu Qianqiu once again took out the imperial edict and asked these people to sign their names and use the rules to manage them.
After Queen Sea Dragon signed her name for the last time, Chu Qianqiu said lightly:
"By the way, after this incident, you each go back. You have one mission, which is to destroy the demonic forces."
In the past, the Holy Land of Martial Arts did not exterminate all these demonic forces out of consideration for leaving a chance of survival.
Now it's time for Chu Qianqiu to make the decision, and the situation is a little different.
"May I ask, General, which demonic forces are they?"
"Such as the Blood Demon Sect, the Netherworld Sect, the Demon Sect, the Wuchang Sect, etc."
"Let you see what happened to them."
Chu Qianqiu had just received news that the demonic forces coming towards Yunlong Kingdom had begun to cause trouble.
It's a pity that they don't know that the coalition forces have been defeated, and even if they cause trouble, they won't receive any reward.
