168 The last defender of Vedic religion

The news of the discovery of Australia, Manar and Guri Timor reached Shangjing in time, and immediately afterwards, the newspapers soon reported on the situation in Nanyang, and listed the specialties and current conditions of each island. At present, South American rubber has not yet taken root in the South Seas, so the most attractive thing is the iron ore of Bo mud, as for spices and wood, leave it to the merchants to toss.

With the support of the Royal Trading Company, a large number of merchants were ready to go to Nanyang, and officials from many impoverished prefectures and counties also received a task to 'persuade them to relocate' to relocate to Nanyang, Northeast and other areas with surplus land to clear the wasteland. For them, the more young and middle-aged people have left, the local per capita income has increased, and the corresponding political performance has also improved. As for what to do if people go to the wasteland, it doesn't matter, report to the imperial court, and they will introduce you to new farming tools that are easy to use, develop other resources, and send exiled prisoners to dig up soil and reclaim the wasteland, anyway, the people who are guilty of crimes are not included in the per capita assessment number.

However, the relocation order was not destined to attract as much attention as the sea protection order, and the officials were very unenthusiastic about it, because it was not exactly a forbidden area for the Black Death. Annam, Nanzhao, Siam, Beya and other places were also hit by the plague, with the area immediately adjacent to Tianzhu being the most severe. Jiling City, which is adjacent to Pearl City, suddenly had a high fever and cough, and some even died that night. Fortunately, the drugs and measures were in place, and the epidemic was controlled in a relatively small area and did not spread.

Qiao Qi and the guards of the Inspection Department, like the doctors and nurses of the medical hall, put on isolation gowns in full armor and went to Jiling City to inspect the epidemic, frightening the local residents and refugees from Pearl City. Fortunately, he reacted immediately, instructed the doctor and the guards to use the Jiling Temple as an isolation place, and said that only under the blessing of the Buddha could he save his life and prevent the epidemic, and successfully appeased everyone. Although all the quarantined patients died, the medical staff wearing protective clothing escaped the catastrophe, and the epidemic did not continue to spread.

Qiao Qi, who survived the catastrophe, wrote and contributed to this experience, which caused an uproar throughout the country and even in the world in the future, and was called the 'brave consul' by Europeans.

***********************

The Black Death brought development opportunities to South and East Asia. The interruption of trade with Europe, Asia and Africa made the rich and powerful country of Dayu shift the focus of the entire maritime trade and strategy to this side, although the land Silk Road was not isolated, but the people of Central Asia who had not yet recovered their vitality obviously had very poor purchasing power.

The scattered food was not completely gathered under the newly rising Mamulu Dynasty, and escaping from the Green Sea or the Red Sea to Tianzhu was another good option, the port of Sanjan here had been operated by the Great Food for hundreds of years, and the city's inhabitants were mainly Tianfang cultists, and the humid and hot climate that had forced the Muguls to retreat was not a problem for the big cannibals who were accustomed to camels and deserts. Now that Bo Qiuge was also attacked by the Black Death and was unable to maintain a naval blockade, how could the Great Cannibals miss this opportunity, and the Great Cannibal Army gathered here quickly occupied the Shen River Valley, continuing the old tradition, and began to grab territory with Polo.

The Polo and Chola dynasties were both indigenous combinations of federalism, inheriting Tianzhu's support and patronage for religion, and the royal lands were divided into monasteries rather than secular bureaucrats, except that the former embraced the Weydaism religion and the latter was Buddhism. Strictly speaking, the bases set up by Dayu in the two countries cannot be called embassies, and the envoys are mainly senior monks of Xingshan Temple, stationed in Nalanda Temple, Fuli Temple and Chaojie Temple in Parada, as well as Sarnath Garden in the west city of Zhuluojia, where Shakyamuni first ******.

The founder of the Bala Dynasty, Qu Polo, was a brave and warlike Rajput, and after converting to the Wedaism, he became the higher caste of the emperors and generals of the four castes of Tianzhu as a Kshatriya (warrior), and 'Rajput' means 'son of the king'. They are the best cavalry in South Asia, all of them are extremely skilled in battle, skilled in horsemanship, and have many special weapons, such as folding swords, fist blades, bamboo longbows, throwable ring blades, and the famous scimitar, so they prefer hand-to-hand combat on horses, and it is easy to take the enemy's head in white-handed combat.

The current Balo king, Lasanga, has been through a hundred battles and is very experienced in combat, always charging forward, and has been blinded, cut off a hand, and lame. It is said that before his first battle with the Great Cannibal, there were more than 80 wounds on his body, and after a fierce fight, more than a dozen serious injuries were added, breaking through the 100 wounds, and he was a brave man.

Such an army led by the king also knew that there could be no option of surrender. Although the Polo cavalry was very strong and good at fighting, they were defeated at the beginning of the battle by the great cannibals, who had greatly increased their forces. However, the Polos soon returned with tens of thousands of well-trained and fierce war elephants, capturing 3,000 men and 2,000 heads of the Great Eclipse Vanguard. The prisoners were gathered in Jaipur, trampled to death at the feet of war elephants, their heads embedded in the newly built walls of Agra, or hung on harnesses to show off their might. Enraged Da Shi replicated the brutality of the Muguls, burning and looting the land of Tianzhu on a large scale, slaughtering cities everywhere, and forcing his subjects to abandon the Wei Dao Sect and convert to the Heavenly Fang Sect. In order to better resist the invaders, Lasanga moved the capital from Jaipur all the way east to Agra, the hub of land and water transportation, and they also lived up to the name of warriors, standing at the forefront of the war countless times, as the protectors of the Wedajiao, fiercely resisting the invasion of the Great Cannibal and the Heavenly Sect, and never giving in, and then dragging the always unscrupulous Great Eater cavalry into the quagmire of the war of attrition.

Between the 10th and 11th years of the Emperor's reign, the Great Cannibals invaded the Polo seven times, and finally took advantage of the blood donations of the Vedant disciples to gain a foothold in the upper reaches of the Ganges River, setting their sights on the more affluent Agra region.

Compared with the martial Polo Dynasty, the low-caste people of Tianzhu had a good impression of the Great Cannibals, and under the management of the Great Food government and the courts, they felt that the Great Food Army was easier to deal with than the Polo Army, and the Tianfang Temple was still a school for teaching knowledge, and the Shenhe River Valley easily accepted the new ruler. In less than a year, almost seven or eight out of ten Tianzhu people here have volunteered to become Tianfang Sect members, and the spread speed of Tianfang Sect is quite amazing, and the Great Food Language has also become the second largest language after Tianzhu Language. With such successful examples in front of them, Da Shi continued to advance towards Agra with the help of its mass base. The heroic and unyielding resistance failed to allow the Polo dynasty to keep Agra, so they had to retreat all the way east along the Ganges, until the great cannibals gradually approached Nalanda Monastery and burned down an ancient temple they passed on the way.

The Liangluo coalition army defeated an attack on Dashi, and with the support of Dayu's 'Buddha Protection Order', many mercenaries from Southeast Asia and Dongying were sent to shelter Nalanda Temple and other Buddhist monasteries. Once known for their bravery, the Polos lost their capital, and had to rely on mercenaries to retreat to Nalanda Monastery or retreat south from the Ganges Valley. And in places such as the lower reaches of the Ganges and Chittagong, because the Great Cannibals have also been in business for many years, there are many Tianfang cultists, and these people have unsurprisingly become cannon fodder and have been slaughtered or driven out several times.

After several years of tug-of-war, the Great Cannibal suffered heavy casualties and was never able to completely conquer this martial dynasty, and finally stopped a little, and established a new capital 'Delhi' north of Agra, and the main general Sakharu was willing to worship Mustan as 'Orthodox Khairivan', and set himself up as Sudan, as the new master of this territory, and began to try to create a Celestial Empire.

***********************

Da Shi's act of crossing the ocean to invade can be regarded as opening a new door for the Dayu people who stick to the homeland, not that everything will be fine if they defend the existing land, once they can't stop the warships of other countries at sea and can't defend the enemy outside the country, Dayu will also become a second Tianzhu. Qiao Qi, the political envoy of Baganbu, summarized the process of the war and the gains and losses through Pearl City, wrote a letter of letters, supported Shenzong's vigorous management of sea power, and proposed to send important ministers and nobles to manage the Indochina Peninsula. As a 'wild place' far away from Shangjing, once there is any change, it is easy to be abandoned, if there is a weighty figure placed in the Indochina Peninsula, it can maintain the imperial court's attention to this place to the greatest extent, and it is also conducive to changing the local aborigines' belief that the emperor is far away, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, so that they can directly 'bathe in the imperial grace'.

This view is similar to that of Gu Yao of Gangzhishi, who is very supportive of his grandchildren going out on adventures. A few years later, Gu Xi's eldest son, Gu Mao, who was ranked fourth, took the initiative to ask for help, did not ask for any official position, and directly took his eldest son and his wife to the MixC in Zhenla to start making money to run a school and teach medicine.

After coming to this town in the southern part of the Shan Plateau, he not only united a large number of Chinese businessmen, established the 'Lanfang Company', organized the 'militia' to protect his own people, but also cooperated with the local natives to continuously transport luxury goods such as jade and hardwood to Beijing, in exchange for a large number of Central Plains specialties, and was deeply loved and respected by local chiefs and merchants.

In the next ten years, when the Siam, Khmer or Shan states around Vientiane were in frequent wars, he took charge of the security work of the cities near Vientiane and even the Shan State and Chenla on the way to Dayu in the name of the 'Lan Phong Federation', as well as the coordination of interests between various tribes. As the chiefs were still in charge of the internal affairs of the tribes, this form was recognized, and the tribes, armed forces, and towns around the trade routes joined in, and few other forces dared to attack them in the entire Shan State Plateau and the boundaries of Chenla. In accordance with the policy of Dayu, the Lanfang Federation unified the taxes, administration, regulations and other contents of these areas, and all the people were soldiers, carrying guns in wartime, and cultivating land in peacetime, except that there was no regular army, just like the founding of the country.

When Western warships came from afar, the Indochina Peninsula, whether it was the political region of Dayu or the loose tribal federation and state, had to be integrated into the Dayu military system as a whole. When the most powerful Britain completely stopped at the Tianzhu Sea and could not advance an inch, the territory of the Eastern Empire had spent a hundred years slowly digesting the cultural differences in the entire Xinna region, and this stable grain-producing area made the population of the Dayu Empire exceed 400 million in a hundred years.

As the number of Chinese-literate people in Indochina skyrocketed, Dayu and Lan Fang simultaneously sent troops from land and sea to completely suppress the civil war between Siam and the Khmer. After the 'peace' settlement of the royal family and noble members on both sides, the four major political regions of Lan Fang, Bagan, Funan and Malay divided the territory of the two countries, and the Ailao Administrative Region replaced Lan Fang, and Gu Mao's eldest son was the political envoy of Ailao, and the Indochina Peninsula was returned to China.

In another time and space, the fate of the descendants of King Mu and King Pingxi, who are also far away in Yunnan, are completely different, the former made Yunnan a province of the Ming Dynasty, and the latter is a three-surnamed domestic slave who has been stinking for thousands of years. The choice of Gu Mao, the head of Lanfang Sect, is similar to Mu Ying, when he was alive, he was named a king with a different surname, gave Danshu iron coupons, and the descendants of the Gu family were hereditarily replaced, and after his death, he was buried in the imperial mausoleum, entered the Liufang Ancestral Hall, and made an exception to be called 'Zhaojing'.
