Chapter 844: Asahi Sub Region
Tang Shaoyang was sitting in front of the Tachibana Clan and the Taukai Family\'s leaders, explaining the Sub Region system to them. After that, he directly proposed his idea for the two factions.
"I don\'t know and don\'t care what happened between the two factions in the past, but I want you to end the conflicts if you have any and establish a stronger faction together. The Taukai Family and The Tachibana Clan will be the Tang Empire\'s representatives in Japan and manage this land for the Empire."
Izuhara Tachibana and Kado Taukai exchanged glances. There was no personal conflict, but there was a rivalry growing on them as they did a short skirmish from time to time at the border. However, the conflict had not grown to a blood feud so far, but a unification between the two would be challenging. If they united together, they had to choose a new leader, and conflict to choose the new leader was inevitable.
"I know there would be a conflict of interest if a merger happens, but the two factions can speak together on the table to discuss the merger. If you are conflicted about the leader, you can form a council, and each faction can have three representatives. You plan, fight, and expand together as a whole. Don\'t you want to re-establish your country? Instead of an individual leader like the King or President, you can form a council consisting of several leaders as the leader of the merger faction," Tang Shaoyang voiced his idea. It was Legion Guild\'s leadership system, but that would work better for the merger faction.
"If you agree with the merger, then I will install the Portal Gate," When Tang Shaoyang mentioned the portal gate, the two leaders looked toward Tang Shaoyang. "It\'s a transportation tool to travel to each other\'s territory. The Tang Empire can directly send the support and reinforcement if you ever need it."
"Can we have an hour of time discussion, Your Majesty?" Izuhara Tachibana spoke up. "The merger is too sudden for us, and I think it will be better if we have a discussion first before we can agree to your proposal."
"That\'s fair, but instead of an hour, I will give you half an hour to have a discussion. It\'s almost midnight, and I have to visit the other factions," Tang Shaoyang agreed as he immediately stood up. "I will return in half an hour."
Half an hour later, Tang Shaoyang was invited back to the same room. Kado Taukai and Izuhara Tachibana had reached a conclusion after half an hour of discussion, "We have agreed to merge our factions, Your Majesty. However, we have one request for you, Your Majesty."
"Mnn, say it. I will help as long as it\'s reasonable," Tang Shaoyang nodded.
"We want the Tang Empire to create an inspector team to ensure fairness within our newly merged faction. Even though we agree to merge, we will use the council system. The leadership will still be split between The Tachibana Clan and The Taukai Family. Suppose there\'s an internal conflict within our faction. In that case, we want the Tang Empire to be our intermediary and help us solve the difference between the two clans impartially," Izuhara Tachibana voiced his request. The conflict was bound to happen when two factions merged. He and Kado Taukai did not want the internal strife to cause their downfall if the merge happened, so they had come up with such a decision.
"There\'s no need for you to ask about that. The Tang Empire is creating an Administrator Sub Region Division. It\'s a division that will oversee the Tang Empire\'s sub-regions, and if you need help, support, want to meet me, or anything from the Empire. You can\'t go directly to me, but you need to go to the Administrator Sub Region. It\'s in process and will be ready in a week or so," Tang Shaoyang gave them the good news.
"I am grateful for your consideration, Your Majesty. Then our second request is, can you give us a week to merge the two factions? There is a lot of work for the merge. We have to give our people an understanding of the merger to avoid internal conflict because of our past rivalry. We need to discuss the administration for the new faction, and we wish for the Tang Empire\'s help on this issue. We wish for the Tang Empire\'s assistance in the merge, Your Majesty," Izuhara Tachibana wanted to involve the Tang Empire to ensure fairness.
"The Empire will assist the merge, and we will send our best people to help the merge," Tang Shaoyang immediately agreed. It would be better if the Tang Empire was involved in the merger. So they would have full information about the merged faction, the ins and outs.
"Lastly, we have agreed on the new name for our new faction. It\'s Asahi!" Izuhara Tachibana informed the new name of the merged faction. It was quite fast for them to agree to the name already. That was good news, meaning the two leaders could talk with a cool head despite the sudden merger.
"Then you need to agree on the main territory for Asahi because I need to set up the Portal Gate in the main territory," Tang Shaoyang was glad that everything went smoothly with the Sub Region system. He thought it would take time to convince the Tachibana Clan and the Taukai Family to merge, but everything went smoothly. With this, The Tang Empire had the second sub-region under their rule.
