I've been doing writing for some time and wondering if bribery is viable to an invading force.

So the world is a medieval/renaissance fantasy world with two continents. Continent A is ruled by one Empire that is invading Continent B, which is made up of smaller empires, kingdoms, city-states, etc.

One of the countries on Continent B is ruled by an upper class of merchant princes. So the invading Empire decides to bribe all of the princes into becoming a vassal state rather than a province of the Empire. Now they don't bribe everyone since: too much money to bribe everyone and well, assuming merchants care more about money than say national pride.

Being a vassal state would entail: being able to keep their own military, laws not contradictory to the Empire, and own administrative and trade practices.

Being a province would entail: the Empire appointing a governor to rule, disbandment of their entire military, and all laws, courts, and religion under control of the Empire.

The bribe includes tons of gold, trade deals, and even willing to give them more territory.

Would this work? Or would they take the bribe and say "nevermind no deal"?
