Chapter 548 (1/2)

Half a month later, Emperor Xin, who was singing in the dynasty, received a note from Lord Lu in Yongzhou.

Seeing that Yongzhou was beaten down with the help of Lu Chuan, Emperor Xin Wang Yan Dayue quickly summoned Wen Zhong, Bigan and others to hold a court meeting.

Before that, big business was in a very bad situation.

At first, he killed two ambitious princes, which led to the rebellion on both sides of eastern Shandong and southern Hubei. A few years later, half of the princes in Xiqi followed suit.

Until now, the attack on Xiqi has not made any achievements for several years. On the contrary, it has damaged the troops and compromised the generals, which has made other princes see jokes, lost their awe, and almost all rebelled.

Now almost all the world is against it, so Dixin feels that even the officials are demoralized and the people are unstable.

Therefore, they urgently need a great victory to prove their own strength, deter all princes, and stabilize the hearts of all on their side.

Emperor Xin sent Lu Chuan to suppress the bandits, but he didn't expect Lu Chuan to send him a message and ask for orders to attack Yongzhou.

Anyway, both sides were in trouble. Lu Chuan relaxed and chose a more troublesome one. He had no reason to refuse, but he didn't expect Lu Chuan to give him such a big surprise.

Yongzhou is one of the nine states in the world. Among the 800 princes, it also belongs to the group with the strongest strength. It has a vast territory and population, with more than 100000 troops.

This time, we beat Yongzhou and killed Yongzhou Hou Anxia. It can be imagined that once the news comes out, it will frighten those princes and feel the strength of big business.

At the court meeting, after hearing this great victory, the ministers were also very excited and happy, and congratulated one after another.

In addition, there is another Jane from his father-in-law Su Hu.

It says that Su Hu feels haggard and old over the years and can't manage the affairs of Jizhou, so he specially tells Di Xin to give up the position of marquis to his son Su Quanzhong.

Dixon was surprised at this.

It should be noted that it was precisely because his father-in-law was deep-seated, unpredictable and in control of Jizhou, the head of Kyushu, that he specially married his daughter Daji.

But I didn't think he was lucky. He married a monster and entered the palace.

In order to celebrate this great victory, Emperor Xin specially arranged a banquet in the palace, but also to stabilize the minister's heart.

After that, he ordered Lu Chuan and Su Hu to quickly wipe out the small princes who followed the rebellion in Yongzhou and completely calm Yongzhou.

Above the Yongzhou tower.

Lu Chuan stood on the tower with his hands down and looked into the distance.

Although this state is located in the northwest of China, it is not barren at all.

Soon Su Quanzhong came and sighed, ”you expected it again this time. The king asked you to clean up the other princes in Yongzhou. You sent someone a few days ago.”

Lu Chuan smiled: ”the speed of war is precious, and the strategist is very reasonable.”

The ruling system implemented by the great Shang Dynasty is still a very old enfeoffment system, that is, the great Shang Dynasty distributed land to royal children, meritorious officials or descendants of ancient emperors.

These fiefs are called ”vassal states”, and the monarchs who rule the fiefs are called ”vassal states”.

It is worth noting that in the territory of the princes themselves, the princes themselves are the highest officials, and the man king or the great princes who enfeoffed him have no direct power.

Yongzhou is a big vassal. There are many small cities and small vassal in its vast territory, almost all of them rebelled with Anxia.

Therefore, after thoroughly mastering the city, Lu Chuan borrowed three thousand troops from Jizhou, plus his total of fifteen thousand troops. The troops were divided into five routes. The four generals he took in and Zheng Lun led him to fight against the young princes.

These people just need to make contributions, which is an opportunity for them. Yongzhou City is taken over by the army of Jizhou.

Su Quanzhong was silent and said, ”thank you!”

”Thank you for what?”

”My father told me about you. Thank you... For saving his life.” Su Quanzhong said.

”If you say so, thank yourself. When you helped me, I thought you were my friend.”

Lu Chuan patted Su Quanzhong on the shoulder and said with a smile, ”from now on, you will be the new Jizhou Hou. Don't forget the rich and noble Lord Su, ha ha!”

Compared with the city government's deep-seated and machine heavy Su Hu, he can trust Su Quanzhong more. After all, everyone is young.

What's more, if Su Quanzhong became a Jizhou Hou, it might be more beneficial to his future reform.

Although the enfeoffment system has its positive impact, it is also like a double-edged sword. It also has its disadvantages, that is, the vassal has too much independence in his territory.
