In Nine Regions, there was a detailed division of monarchs and countries.
A first rank vassal kingdom had at least one city, and a maximum of nine cities.
A Second Stage Vassal State had at least ten cities and a maximum of eighteen cities.
A third-grade vassal kingdom had at least nineteen cities and a maximum of twenty-six cities.
Because in Nine Regions, 27 cities could be divided into a county.
Therefore, after the third-grade vassal states, they were all called commanderies.
As for first rank vassal states to third rank vassal states, they could only be considered as city states.
A Rank Four Vassal Kingdom had at least one county, which was twenty-seven cities, and three counties at most. As long as there were no more than four counties, they were all within the scope of a Rank Four Vassal Kingdom.
A fifth rank vassal state had to have at least four counties. As long as it did not exceed seven counties, it would be considered a fifth rank vassal state.
The minimum requirement for a sixth rank vassal kingdom was seven counties. As long as it did not exceed nine counties, it would be considered a sixth rank vassal kingdom.
The nine counties became one prefecture.
Therefore, the vassal states with nine counties were also known as "state states".
Rank-7, Rank-8, and Rank-9 vassal states belonged to states.
······
At the peak of the Fire Country's power, it was a Third Rank Vassal State with twenty-four cities.
Among them, there were seven large cities.
They were the capital, Emperor Yan City, Shennong City, Yanwu City, Kui Kui City, Lianshan City, Lie Mountain City, and Zhuxiang City.
Now, there were only three cities left.
They were the capital, Emperor Yan City, as well as Yanwu and Shennong City.
Other than the three major cities, there were five other small cities.
It was at the county level.
Xiang Hu did not lose all his assets.
Zhu Village was a large village outside Yanwu City.
Under the jurisdiction of Yanwu.
······
Xiang Yun's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Zhu Family Residence. He then began to examine it carefully.
Fan Zeng was indeed Fan Zeng. He did things flawlessly and did not need Xiang Yun's instructions at all.
He briefly explained what had happened and what he needed to do. At the same time, he also gave a copy of the information about the Zhu family.
This was what happened.
The Zhu Village was located at the border between the Fire Country and the Chen Country.
It belonged to the Fire Country.
However, due to its unique geographical location.
They had a lot of autonomy.
After Xiang Yun announced the policy, the officials below began to implement it.
However, when they arrived at the Zhu Family Residence, the policy could not be implemented.
At the border between Yanwu and the Kingdom of Chen, there was a hill called Dulong Gang.
Zhu Village was located in the middle of Lone Dragon Gang. It could be said that its geographical location was quite superior.
Moreover, Zhu Village was easy to defend and hard to attack, gradually forming a "Kingdom of Heaven".
He didn't even give face to the county magistrate of Wucheng County.
Many of the people in the Zhu Village were very bold and brave. The village chief was called Zhu Chaofeng.
He had three sons, named the Three Heroes of the Zhu Clan. The eldest son Zhu Long, the second son Zhu Hu, and the third son Zhu Biao.
There was also a teacher called Luan Tingyu, nicknamed "Iron Stick". This person had the courage of ten thousand men.
Zhu Village had one or two thousand outstanding vassals.
Including the guards on the manor, there were about 4,000 people.
It was the strongest force in the surrounding 100 miles, other than Yanwu.
······
The course of events was simple.
The county magistrate of Yanwu received the notice from the higher-ups and sent the notice to all the villages below.
Divide the land.
Divided equally according to the number of people.
After the other villages received the order, very few resisted.
Only Zhu Fengchao of the Zhu Family Residence.
Zhu Fengchao was the village chief of the Zhu Family Village and had been nurturing his power over the years.
The family's wealth was very abundant.
Other than land, there was also food, gold, silver, and jewelry.
Of course, he would not give up the land.
This is the reason why Yin Feng Yang disobeys.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhu Fengchao actually killed the county magistrate who came to inspect.
He even announced that he would leave the Fire Country and join the Chen Country.
······
The Chen Country, the arch-enemy of the Fire Country.
These few years, he had frequently attacked the Fire Country and for the sake of peace, Xiang Hu had ceded the 'Zhuxiang City' and the surrounding three small cities to the Chen Country.
As a result, the State of Chen had changed from a first rank vassal state to a second rank vassal state.
It had to be said that Xiang Hu had tricked his son.
If the Zhu Family really joined the Chen Nation, then the power of the Chen Nation would undoubtedly increase again.
Moreover, the Zhu family would become a nail in the coffin.
They were planted within the Fire Country's borders.
If they advanced, they could attack Yanwu, and if they retreated, they could defend according to the unique terrain of Lone Dragon Gang.
Therefore, the Zhu Family Village could not be lost.
······
After Xiang Yun finished reading, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
He didn't expect that the Zhu Family Village was still the same as before, but the Hu Family Village and Li Family Village were missing.
Only one was left.
What Xiang Yun did not expect was that this Zhu Village, no, to be more specific, Zhu Fengchao actually had the intention to rebel.
Xiang Yun would never allow this.
" Fight, we must fight. This Zhu Family Village must be controlled by the Fire Country. Besides…" Xiang Yun's eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
Then, Xiang Yun asked his eunuch to invite Fan Zeng into the palace.
The two of them plotted in the palace for a long time. No one knew what they were plotting.
