If the war that has lasted for many years can be ended and military expenditures can be pacified, what does this little food mean?

However, the envoy brought another piece of news that shocked the entire Dian Kingdom:

"The Ming Dynasty captured Annam. Although it is their old land, they may capture Khmer and Siam tomorrow. Your two countries must help each other..."

The Ming Dynasty captured Annan and established the so-called Qin State.

This also means that the Ming Dynasty was a little closer to the Dian Kingdom.

You know, although Yunnan and Dian are close, the tropical rainforest is enough to kill any elite.

And if Annan is really captured, the only distance left from Dian Kingdom is Siam and Khmer.

Of course, we can also come by sea, but in their minds, land attack is the way to go.

How to transport troops at sea? How many can be transported?

If the logistics supply is not adequate, it will be like a tree without roots.

Sun Kewang closed his eyes to hide Tong Kong's shock. If you look carefully, only his slightly trembling eyelids reveal his mood.

The two groups of civil and military ministers changed their colors one after another.

Yang Changzhi said: "That's it. The two countries are horns and help each other. My king is my brother and your king is my brother——"

The envoy was overjoyed and returned satisfied.

"Your Majesty—" Yang Changzhi waited for him to leave before he cupped his hands and said to comfort:

"The Ming Dynasty has been coveting Annan for a long time. It is reasonable to take it back now. After all, it has been two or three years."

"I know." Sun Kewang slowly opened his eyes, but the wrinkles on his face did not relax. His eyes were full of depth: "It took more than two years to regain Annan. This is because of Shaowu's stinginess."

"It's just that I don't know how big Shaowu's appetite is..."

Yang Changzhi remained silent.

The two of them did not speak, and the remaining civil servants and generals naturally did not dare to speak nonsense.

"Your Majesty, the Dian Kingdom now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Ming people are thousands of miles apart. Even if we want to destroy our Dian Kingdom, we will still have to lose a few of its teeth."

"Akito is not that stupid."

"You're right." Sun Kewang showed a smile and immediately drove away the haze in the palace, and it suddenly became much clearer.

"The first assistant is interested."

After a while, all the civil servants and generals left, leaving only the monarch and his ministers.

"Chief Assistant, when will my Sun family's empire be completely stable?"

Sun Kewang lost his composure and asked impatiently, his eyes full of eagerness.

"Your Majesty, when the number of scholars in Dian Kingdom exceeds 100,000, it will be as stable as a mountain."

Yang Changzhi said seriously.

When Sun Kewang heard this, he had a toothache.

The current population of the Dian Kingdom, that is, the people controlled by the Dian Kingdom's court, is approximately four million.

There are 100,000 scholars, and one out of every ten men is a scholar. This cannot be implemented within a hundred years.

Where did he get so much time?

"No." Sun Kewang shook his head and stared at his chief assistant: "I can't wait any longer."

"Mingren will not give us this opportunity."

With that said, he stood up.

The former burly body gradually became stooped, and most of the general's belly disappeared, leaving him just a slightly fat old man.

Age has become his biggest enemy.

Jiazi, how many people can live to this age?

Fifty-three-year-old Sun Kewang has already felt the approach of death.

Now his greatest wish is to completely stabilize the Dian Kingdom and allow his descendants to rule the Dian Kingdom permanently and reproduce for generations to come.

"I want to follow Shao Wu's example and enfeoff his descendants to establish a vassal state."

"Your Majesty, then, the peace of the Ming Dynasty is not far away!" Yang Changzhi said hurriedly.

"I know."

Sun Kewang nodded and looked into the distance: "Nearly half of the land in Dian Kingdom is managed by chieftains. The future enemy of the imperial court will be chieftains, not vassal states."

"Wouldn't it be better to replace the chieftain with the vassal king?"

"But--"

"Besides, no matter how the Battle of Jingnan changes, it will only be the blood of the descendants of Ming Taizu."

Hearing this, Yang Changzhi could only sigh in admiration.

Is there any way he can stop a monarch who cares about future generations?

Just when he was feeling sad and lonely, the old Dian King continued:

"Send envoys to Beijing!"

"Although it is humiliating to become a vassal, it is also a last resort. This must be done. The sooner the better."

Sun Kewang showed an unspeakable smile: "From now on, Your Majesty, the vocabulary of the Holy Oracle will also be changed. It must comply with the regulations..."

Yang Changzhi was shocked, this change must be too fast!

…

In Beijing, the emperor, who was still vacationing from the summer, finally waited for news about Annan.

For a moment, he felt relieved.

"Jiaozhou, Hanoi."

The emperor nodded and smiled happily: "King Qin has finally matured and is becoming more and more capable and dignified as the leader of a country."

The foundation of Qin lies in the Ming Dynasty, so it can only take root in Annan by staying close to the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, completely reversing Annan's language, writing, history books, and systems must be a long-term process, and no discounts can be made in it.

In this regard, the vassal state is better than the official.

"With the order, the Ministry of Revenue allocates 500,000 to the State of Qin to congratulate the State of Qin."
