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

Wang Feng looked at Zheng Yihang, unable to conceal the expectation in his eyes.

Of course, this look of expectation may also be revealed on purpose, with the right amount.

Not too eager, but it looks like expectation.

"hehe."

Zheng Yihang laughed, "Although the Kingdom of Goryeo has not taken the initiative to attack the land of our Song Dynasty, you know what you did before... lord, you know what you have done.

Do you think that if we become a top vassal state, can we agree to it?"

Wang Feng's face was slightly bitter.

Their army of Goryeo did not step into the land of the Song Dynasty, nor did they even help the Yuan army.

However, he gave 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, Goryeo could have said that it would rather harm oneself than 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 Feng showed a embarrassed look.

Zheng Yihang wrinkled two extremely black and thick eyebrows, "I can't see it.

Even though the emperor can know that you are helpless, it is an indisputable fact that Goryeo boycotts the Song Dynasty before.

I suggest that you should settle for the second best. In my opinion, whether Goryeo can become a middle-class vassal state depends on your sincerity..."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

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.

Nowadays, 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 countries such as Ryukyu, but they were also considered to be a good place to enjoy the shade of a big tree.

Although there is a "Emperor of Heaven" above, it is of course beneficial to the country, including economy, technology, etc., and they have received a lot of assistance from the Song Dynasty.

In the year of disaster, the Song Dynasty also 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.

It is like the Yueli Dynasty, Chameng, Sanfoqi and other countries that have provoked the Song Dynasty. On the surface, it seems that the Yueli Dynasty is the most miserable, but in fact it is almost the same.

The lords of the countries Champa and Sanfoqi are just the name of the lord, and the royal family still retains them and manages the government.

However, the domestic army was almost completely removed, leaving only the most basic soldiers to maintain public order in the city.

When they asked the Song Dynasty for surrender, Zhao Dongting's conditions were so simple.

If you don’t want to be bullied by the Song Dynasty or the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, this is fine, but the premise is that you will be deposed by yourself.

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 an opponent of the Song Dynasty, but just cause trouble.

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

In addition to disarmament, these inferior vassal states had to pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty every year.

As for the preferential treatment you enjoy, there are only a few.

But in comparison, the most pitiful thing is Yuelichao.

Not only was the king demoted to Hou, but 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 carefully, even though the few high-level vassal states in the Song Dynasty could not help but swallow.

With Goryeo's previous actions, it is unlikely to become a top 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 will repay their grievances with kindness.

"Then... General Zheng thought how many years could we become a middle-class vassal state?

How should I show sincerity?”

Wang Feng was a little nervous before he knew it, 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 Goryeo and Song dynasties were not as deep as Yueli Dynasty, they were somewhat unhappy.

It is difficult to think about just such a thing as not being up or down. It seems that the probability of becoming a middle-class vassal state and a lower-class vassal state is not low.

It’s good to become a middle-class vassal state, it’s not a loss, it also has the benefits.

But if he becomes a lower-class vassal state, then Wang Ying can wake up even if he dreams.

The treasury of Goryeo has been extorted by Zheng Yihang and Mori, and it can no longer withstand the tossing.

If he would pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year in the future, he would not have to wait for the Song Dynasty to clean up. Wang Ying would be afraid that he would not be able to suppress the domestic resistance.

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 Goryeo and did not take this small place seriously.

The letter to Zheng Yihang said that if the Lord of Goryeo knew the tact, he would give him the treatment of a middle-class vassal state.

However, domestic troops must also be laid 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.

After pondering for a few moments, Zheng Yihang chuckled and said, "If the king really believes in me, then take the initiative to ask our emperor for disarmament, and promise that Goryeo will respect the Song Dynasty for generations in the future.

Our emperor actually has a very good temper. Seeing your sincerity, he should also give you compensation to Goryeo in other aspects.

Of course, I just proposed that in the end, the lord, you should make your own decisions, such as donating gold and silver treasures... I said this, but I just don't want my brothers to get stained with the blood of the people on this land again."
