This was also only a way to make the transition. Once he had control of the Triple Korea, he would send them to the army and the Wasteland soldier. Yang Lin's final goal was to thoroughly assimilate these Chen Han's and korean's people. If the CHEN Han emissary did not agree to this plan, then what awaited them was complete extinction.
”Lord General, since it's like this, then wouldn't the leaders of the royal families and tribes of Chen Han be killed in name? Do we people of Chen Han still have our own customs? ” The CHEN Han emissary was also a clan leader. Once they moved them to the Youzhou, and gave them less than ten thousand mu of land, what Surveillance History would they be, wouldn't the people of the Chen Han be finished?
”I have already said, as long as you sincerely submit and cooperate with us, you can also become a Surveillance History. Not only can you participate in the management of the entire Triple Korea, you can also participate in the management of the entire Youzhou. Of course, the people of Chen Han could have their own customs. However, we must speak Chinese, recognize Chinese characters and take the Han name. ”
CHEN Han emissary thought for a moment, then said seriously: ”Lord General, for such a big matter, I need to report to King Chen, King Chen will decide it.”
Yang Lin nodded and said indifferently, ”Sure. However, you don't have much time left. I'll give you five days. If you do not hear from me in five days, I will assume that you do not agree with my proposal and that our military operation will begin. ”
CHEN Han emissary did not dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly left Ma Han's port, bringing his fleet back to Chen Han in a short while. He did not have time to stop at the port, so he immediately ordered some fast horses to be brought over. Without bothering with his entourage, he whipped her horse and galloped towards the palace.
When he rushed to the palace, King Chen was in the midst of discussing about the taxes and resistance against the Han army this autumn with a few trusted ministers. The harvest this year was not bad, but at this time, the Chinese army had arrived. A few of the ministers could not help but feel a little jealous, encouraging King Chen to take this opportunity to increase the taxes.
”King Chen, we lost a lot of rations in the drought last year. The harvest this year was plentiful, but to make up for the losses from last year, King Chen couldn't possibly have a hard time. Now that the Han Army has entered the Chen Han, even if we do not accept them, the Han Army will rob them all. ”
The one who spoke was Chief Steward of the King Chen, and also his money forage officer, Yin Qi. He encouraged the King Chen to collect more, so he could get more from it. He had recently heard quite a lot of rumors. That Han Army was like a hot knife through butter, the Chen Han would definitely not be able to protect them, although they had already sent envoys to plead for peace, and the odds were against them.
”That's right, King Chen, it has been many years since our army has updated our weapons, the difference is too big compared to the equipment of the Han army. Now that the harvest is good this year, you'll have to think about the army. Even if the Chinese Army comes, they will still be counting on them to give it their all. ”
Grand Commander, who was in charge of the army of Chen Han, followed along. Although he was not good at fighting and was often bullied by Ma Han, his equipment was not worse than anyone else's. Moreover, their cast iron was top-notch at the time, what was lacking was the fact that the number of people in the army was much fewer than Ma Han's.
”Alright, I'll increase the taxes by 10% this year.”
The fat King Chen finally made the decision to increase the tax this year by ten percent. The truth was that he didn't need these ministers to persuade him. He also wanted to increase the tax. The tribal leaders were getting richer and richer, and the number of people they had to hand in had not increased. It was time to make them bleed.
”King Chen, the envoy has returned. He is requesting an audience at the entrance of the palace.”
A servant ran in and knelt on the ground to report to King Chen. King Chen's face revealed a trace of surprise. The envoy had been gone for such a long time, they should have had a good talk. He was very confident in the envoy. After studying in the Central Plains for so many years, he knew a lot about the Chinese.
”Let the envoy in.”
Not long later, the envoys who were waiting outside the palace entrance walked in. He first paid his respects to his King Chen, and also received the respects from the ministers. After all the tedious formalities, he finally had the chance to stand by his King Chen's side, and saw that his King Chen was currently smiling at him.
”What's the situation with the Chinese this time?”
”His Royal Highness Prince Chen, micron went there for so many days, but he personally witnessed how valiant Chinese Army is. They not only had powerful cavalry and foot soldiers, but also powerful sailors. Come to think of it, you might not believe it, but those Chinese Thunderbolt Bomb s are weapons that have never been seen before.
CHEN Han emissary had been gone for so many days, but the biggest shock he received was still from the Thunderbolt Bomb. In this vast mountain area, the cavalry was not scary at all. They couldn't just ride their horses up the mountain. Just those foot soldiers, how could they defend against a mountain? Perhaps they could fight, but that Thunderbolt Bomb made all the defenses useless.
