After receiving Yang Song’s order, Chen Ping immediately returned to the Ministry of National Security to search for relevant information.
Chen Ping actually kept the information about the external forces in his mind, but since he was going to split the vassal federation this time, the memory in his mind was not enough, and he needed to continue to understand it.
The Federation of Princes is the name within the Xia State, formerly known as the League of Lords. It is a force closely united by many conservative lords in the center of the mainland under the pressure of the Xia State, but it is completely a federal state externally.
It is led by three duke-level territories, nine marquis-level territories, and 27 earl-level territories. It is estimated that the mobilization of troops can reach more than 700,000.
One of the three dukes of the Federation of Princes is the Albright Duke in the middle of the fertile plain in the eastern part of the Central Continent. The current lord is Andre Albright.
Because the Duke of Albright is in the middle of the fertile plain, and the fertile plain is sufficiently long and high, its strength is very powerful, and it is located at the head of the three dukes.
The second duchy is located in the southwest of the fertile plain, the northwest of Xia State, and the southeast of the Dusk Desert. The current lord is Laird Talboy.
Because of the geographical location, the Duke of Talboy led the past to connect all directions in the south, east and north, so he has a sufficiently developed business, and his strength should not be underestimated.
However, because of Xia’s occupation of the land south of the boundary river, the Duke of Talboy lost the important market in the south. In addition to his own beliefs, he hated Xia and was the one who hated Xia most. power.
The third duchy is the northwestern part of the fertile plain, the southern part of the Northern Cold Kingdom, and the northeast part of the Dusk Desert. The current lord is called Basque Terfield.
Due to its location on the edge of the northwestern part of the fertile plain, the Duchess of Turffield is not as rich as the other two dukes.
However, there is a wildebeest field in the northwest of the Duke of Terfield, so the Duke of Terfield has an army of knights far surpassing the other two dukes.
The three duchy territories are not directly connected, and even far-reaching, with a large number of other territories as buffers between the duchy territories.
It can be said that the three dukes’ realms have their own characteristics, and they have formed their respective spheres of influence on the surrounding realms by virtue of their much stronger strength than other realms.
Before the emergence of Xia Kingdom broke the long-standing balance of this continent, this area formed by the three dukes’ realm was the center of this continent’s indigenous civilization.
In addition to these three duchy territories, the other nine marquis territories also have a certain degree of influence, which is second only to the three duchy territories.
Similarly, because there are three duchy territories in the first echelon, the nine marquis basically maintain good communication to balance the strength between the territories.
As for the other twenty-seven counties, they belonged to the third echelon, and they belonged to the weak between the various big territories.
But even so, if there is an earl realm outside the central area who wants to exchange these 27 earl realms, it is estimated that there is no reason for the lord.
The reason is that in addition to the prosperous central area that far exceeds the territories of the rest of the region, there is also the so-called regional prejudice.
However, the territories located outside the central area still have advantages that the central area does not have, that is, the land range of other territories is much larger, especially the territories located in the peripheral areas.
The Kingdom of Anyuan, which was far above the plateau before, belonged to a marquis territory. With its land area far surpassing the other territories, it took advantage of the opportunity to annex the remaining small territories on the plateau.
But now, apart from the territory and lords in the Federation of Princes, there are only a few kingdoms left in the rest of the world.
…
The order Yang Song gave him was for him to split the various territories of the princes federation, and let Xia State control one or more of them, so as to give way to the land in the south of the mainland and the ice kingdom in the north of the mainland to form exchanges.
Chen Ping also knows the current situation of Xia Guo, and he also knows that this task is so urgent and important. If Xia Guo does not open up the road on the land as soon as possible, then Xia Guo’s ships will suffer heavy losses.
Chen Ping looked at the territory distribution map on the map thoughtfully after reading the information about the Federation of Lords in detail.
Xia Kingdom is located to the south of the Boundary River and is adjacent to the Federation of Princes. If they rashly split it, it would be difficult for these lords to succeed under the threat of Xia Kingdom.
Chen Ping would have a lot of confidence in the long-term plan and layout, but the reality is that Xia Guo can’t wait that long.
Then Chen Ping fell into a bitter thought. He had to think of a way to make the lords of the princes federation deviate from their virtues, otherwise he would not be able to deal with Yang Song.
Looking at the map and thinking about it, Chen Ping looked at the place outside the princes’ federation and Xia country when he saw the section of the ice and snow kingdom suddenly flashed, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Sure enough, when something is in trouble, you have to look at it from a higher angle, and there will surely be unexpected results!”
After Chen Ping muttered to himself in a low voice, he had already figured out how to split the various forces in the princes federation-yes, within the time of this sentence, Chen Ping not only thought of a way, but also thought of it. What to do.
“Come here!” After Chen Ping decided, he decisively called his subordinates, and ordered: “Find someone who can speak well and know the situation in the mainland. The officer has something to order.”
After the order, Chen Ping saw that this usually diligent subordinate did not move at all, and couldn’t help but asked in confusion: “What’s the matter? Why don’t you go find someone?”
“Enlighten Minister, the subordinates are not talented, it is the person the Minister was looking for just now.” Chen Ping’s answer was instantly stunned.
Being able to speak well is the basis of intelligence personnel. There are definitely many such people in the Department of Foreign Affairs, but there are not so many people who are familiar with the situation in the mainland. Such people are generally either in high positions or those who work in this area.
In the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of National Security, people who meet these two conditions must be at the headquarters of the Department of Foreign Affairs. That’s why Chen Ping’s subordinate has these words.
Suddenly, Chen Ping quickly gave the information and resume of the subordinate in front of him in his mind, and confirmed that the person in front of him was the person he was looking for.
Chen Ping did not delay, and immediately ordered: “Well, Ren Haozhan, this officer will give you an important task, a task to send to another country.”
“Despite the minister’s instructions, his subordinates are determined to complete the task.” Hearing this, Ren Hao stood up and bowed decisively, waiting for Chen Ping’s instructions.
