Tributary system of Imperial Daxia: Difference between revisions

Line 38:

===Emirate of Lakdu===

===Degei Confederation===

The Degei Confederation was a nomadic state to the northwest of [[Daxia]] proper that existed for several hundred years and alternated between vassalage to Daxian dynasties and hostility and plundering. During the periods that they gave tribute, the Khans of the steppe sent thousands of prized horses that filled the stables of the imperial armies. They also sent goat and alpaca pelts from the vast herds that roamed the steppes, thousands of jugs of fermented mare milk which they drank as alcohol, fine bows of carved yew and sinew and also multitudes of slaves captured in raids in central [[Audonia]]. The Degei mounted archers were also valuable and effective cavalry auxiliaries when their chiefs were in the mood to heed imperial summons to war, just as they were effective and brutal at decimating border towns. The value of the confederation as a vassal greatly decline after Darukh Khan's failed rebellion as their numbers were decimated and their unity crushed.

The traditionally Degei lands were slowly incorporated into Guangbei province.

===Tribes of [[Australis]]===

Qian control of southern [[Peratra]] was for decades an informal arrangement between independent tribal chiefs and the Governor of [[Australis]] based in Rakin. The Ikani, Tasi and Wiramo tribal confederations gave gifts of fruit, fish and carved items to imperial representatives on occasion. The 6th governor changed the practice; Marquis Li De demanded from the tribes the provision of tribute in the same manner as mainland tributaries did and warned that those that refused would be treated the same as the Taualai who were conquered completely in 1658. The nominally sovereign tribes acceded to the tributary system, delivering their tribute in Rakin which was then sent to the mainland with the [[Grog Fleets]].
