"I wonder... can our Gao Kingdom... become the highest vassal state of the Great Song Kingdom like Ryukyu?"

Wang Feng looked at Zheng Yihang, unable to hide the look of expectation in his eyes. Of course, this look of expectation may have been deliberately revealed, with the right amount.

Not too eager, but it looks like expectation.

"hehe."

Zheng Yihang laughed, "Although Gao Guoguo has not taken the initiative to attack the land of our Song Dynasty, you know what he did before... Lord. Do you think that if we can agree to become a top vassal state?"

Wang Feng's face was slightly bitter.

Their army of Gaoguo had indeed never stepped into the land of the Song Dynasty, nor even helped the Yuan army. However, he had given a lot of support to the Yuan Dynasty in other aspects and caused a lot of trouble to the Song Dynasty.

Especially in terms of business and trade, Gao Guoguo used to be willing to hurt himself than to make the merchants of the Song Dynasty uncomfortable.

"Isn't this forced by the Yuan Dynasty's forces... His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven should be able to understand it, right?" Wang Ying showed a embarrassed look.

Zheng Yihang wrinkled two extremely black and thick eyebrows, "I can't see it. Even if the emperor knows that you are helpless, it is an indisputable fact that Gao Guo has resisted the Song Dynasty before. I suggest that you should settle for the second best. In my opinion, whether Gao Guo can become a middle-class vassal state depends on your sincerity..."

Looking at it, I really thought of dying for Wang Feng.

Half truth and half false are the most incomprehensible.

Wang Ying couldn't figure out what Zheng Yihang was thinking, but after thinking about it carefully, Zheng Yihang really made some sense. Now, there are more than a dozen vassal states of the Song Dynasty, divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower.

The best ones are like Ryukyu, Boni and Ma Yi who have chosen to be close to the country from the beginning and have joined hands in the most difficult times of the Song Dynasty.

They are now enjoying the best foreign policy of the Song Dynasty, doing business, exchanges, aid, etc., and the Song Dynasty can almost spare no effort.

Medium is like Tianzhu, Niboluo, Jialuo and others who had no holidays with the Song Dynasty before. Later, they felt that the Song Dynasty was powerful and took the initiative to submit to the emperor, and jointly respected Zhao Dongting as the Emperor of Heaven, and had a country with a lot of exchanges and trade with the Song Dynasty.

They failed to enjoy the best foreign policy of the Song Dynasty like Ryukyu and other countries, but they were also considered to be a good place to enjoy the shade of a big tree. Although there was a "Emperor of Heaven" above, it was of course beneficial to the country, such as economy, technology, etc., all received a lot of assistance from the Song Dynasty.

In the year of disaster, the Song Dynasty even sent food and supplies. Now these vassal states centered on the Song Dynasty can be said to be a big family, and the Song Dynasty is a parent.

The top vassal state is a relative of blood, and the middle vassal state is a common relative.

As for the lower vassal states, they are far from the previous two. For example, the Yueli Dynasty, Champa, and the Three Buddhas, which have provoked the Song Dynasty, are the most miserable in the Yueli Dynasty, but in fact they are all similar.

The lords of the countries Champa and Sanfoqi were just the name of the lord, and the royal family still retained them and managed the government. However, the domestic army was almost completely cut off, leaving only the most basic soldiers who maintained public order in the city.

When they asked the Song Dynasty for surrender, Zhao Dongting's conditions were so simple. It would be fine if they wanted to be bullied by the Song Dynasty or the Song Dynasty's imperial guards entered the country, but the premise was that they would be cut off their own troops.

The Song Dynasty did not send troops to these countries, but if any inferior vassal state dared to develop its army secretly, it would have to be furious of the Song Dynasty, and there would be absolutely no room for improvement.

Now the great Song Dynasty is well known to the world. These Chameng, Yueli Dynasty and other countries that have suffered a lot are probably unwilling to take risks. With their national strength, no matter how many troops they secretly attack, they will not be opponents of the Song Dynasty, but they are just asking for trouble.

In the territories they perceive, no country has the ability and possibility to take the Song Dynasty from its hegemony.

Apart from disarmament, these inferior vassal states have to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year. As for the preferential treatment they enjoy, there are only a few.

But in comparison, the most pitiful thing is the Yueli Dynasty. Not only was the king demoted to Hou, the power of the country was taken over by the Song Dynasty.

The royal family is like nothing.

The entire Yueli Dynasty can be said to be under the rule of the Song Dynasty, but it is still known as the Yueli Dynasty.

Wang Ying thought carefully and thought about it in his mind that even the few high-level vassal states in the Song Dynasty could not help but swallow. With Gao Guo’s previous actions, it was unlikely to become a high-level vassal state.

It is a totally good thing to be able to become a top vassal state in the Song Dynasty. How could the Emperor of the Song Dynasty repay his grievances with kindness?

Absolutely not.

From the head-on encounter between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, he knew that Zhao Dongting was a person who was unwilling to suffer any losses. Few people like this would repay their grievances with kindness.

"Then... Commander Zheng thought how many years could we be a middle-class vassal state? How should I show my sincerity?"

Wang Feng was unconsciously a little nervous, not even noticed it himself. He was even more polite to Zheng Yihang invisibly. When he asked this, he even raised his hands to Zheng Yihang.

He gave up the luck in his heart.

Speaking of which, although Gaoguo and the Song Dynasty were not as deep as Yueli Dynasty, they were somewhat unhappy. It was difficult to think about it if they were not up or down. It seemed that the probability of becoming a middle-class vassal state and a lower-class vassal state was not low.

It is good to become a middle-class vassal state, it is not a loss, it also has the sweetness. But if you become a lower-class vassal state, then Wang Ying can wake up even if you dream.

Gao Guoguo's treasury has been extorted by Zheng Yihang and Mori, and it cannot withstand the trouble. If he still pays tribute to the Song Dynasty every year in the future, he does not have to wait for the Song Dynasty to clean up, Wang Ying will be afraid that he will not be able to suppress the domestic resistance voices.

You must become a middle-class vassal state.

While Wang Feng realized this problem, he was extremely anxious.

Zheng Yihang became more and more calm. Looking at Wang Ying's appearance, he knew that the task assigned by the emperor could be completed successfully.

Zhao Dongting did not hate Gao Guoguo, nor did he take this small place seriously. The letter to Zheng Yihang said that if Gao Guoguo was tactful, he would give him the treatment of a medium-sized vassal state. However, the domestic army would have to be cut off.

This is equivalent to enjoying the treatment of a medium-sized vassal state, but it has to be like Shu, and cannot have heavy troops.
