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 tribes, appeasing and conquering, describing merits and punishments, etc.
In modern terms, it is similar to garrisoning troops in one place to suppress one side, with great autonomy.
When the Tang Dynasty was once powerful, six major protective offices were established: Anxi, Anbei, Andong, Annan, Shanyu, and Beiting.
The Annan Protectorate was to guard Vietnam, Myanmar and other areas in the southern region.
Countries like the Southern Territory finally got rid of the control of the Great Xia Protectorate and became an independent country, no longer affected by the outside world.
Unexpectedly, now Ye Feng has 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 various countries knew full well that it was nothing more than Daxia's hand that wanted to reach into their countries, strengthen their control over them, and monitor their every move.
Once the Protectorate is established, it will no longer be possible to cooperate with the Western countries and raise troops to build momentum.
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, all their countries have been plundered.
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, the Communist Party will be challenged and the Thirteen Kingdoms will exist in name only!
Over time, these kings might be completely ignored. Over time, the Southern Territory would completely become the territory of Great Xia.
"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 are you looking at!?" King Piao looked confident, "Can my adoptive father still trick me? You should hurry up and sign, don't embarrass my adoptive father!"
After King Piao finished signing, he remembered the Protectorate Mansion that everyone was arguing about. He didn't quite understand what it meant. After all, the Protectorate is very old, hundreds of years have passed.
So the king of Piao Kingdom asked out of curiosity: "By the way, what is the Protectorate Palace?"
As soon as these words came out, all the kings fell down one after another and were completely speechless.
In the end, the king of Piao barely understood the meaning of the Protectorate after a brief explanation from the leader of Zhenla Kingdom.
I thought that the king of Piao would unite with them and stand up to express strong opposition.
Unexpectedly, the king of Piao State was uncharacteristically happy and said, "Is there 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 us an ID card? ah!"
"Ye Zhanshen is my adoptive father, and Daxia is my father's country to Piao! We in Piao admire the prosperity of Daxia and have long wanted to be a part of Daxia!"
"Sir, my foster father, your actions are exactly what I want, my son! Please bow to me now!"
