The Indochina Peninsula is good here, and after getting it, Li Yan became one of the main talkers of trade between the East and the West, and Li Yan also got a huge fortune.

But it's not easy to govern here.

Putting aside the rest for the time being, just one religious issue made Li Yan's head extremely big.

To put it simply, there are two main religions in Indochina, one is Brahmin (Hinduism) and the other is Buddhism (also divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism).

These two religions are constantly contradictory, and even incompatible.

Before Li Yan conquered the Khmer state, it was mainly controlled by the Brahmins, and all the Buddhists were almost driven out of the Khmer country by the Brahmins.

Now, the Khmer state has been ruled by Li Yan and Shuibo Liangshan, and the Buddhists think that their opportunity has come, so they use various means to pull Li Yan and Shuibo Liangshan officials into Buddhism, and even to the point of pervasiveness.

Let's talk about a figurative example.

After destroying the Khmer State, Li Yan accepted more than 100 beauties into the harem in the Khmer State as usual - most of them were daughters of the royal family and princes and nobles of the Khmer State, and many of them were selected through drafts.

By the way, because of different personal aesthetics, the last pass of these beauties who entered the harem was guarded by Li Yan himself.

But among the more than 100 beauties, more than 30 are Buddhists - among them, some were originally Buddhists, and some were later selected by Li Yan and then developed into Buddhists by Buddhists.

Buddhism is developing so desperately, which is enough to give Li Yan a headache.

But this is not the most headache for Li Yan.

What bothered Li Yan the most was that the Brahmans were also sticking to their religious status.

Or take the more than 100 beauties accepted by Li Yan as an example.

Buddhism has more than 30 Buddhists around Li Yan, but Brahmins are even more ruthless - among the more than 100 beauties, more than 50 are Brahmins, and more than a dozen of them are the daughters or sisters of the Brahmins, and even four are the holy daughters of the Brahmins.

Excluding those who believe in Buddhism and Brahmins, among the more than 100 beauties of Li Yanxinna, those who do not believe in it have become a very small minority.

Li Yan has always been in awe of religious beliefs.

Throughout the ages, countless wars have been fought by religious beliefs, and some wars can even last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The point is that religious belief cannot be killed, and a spark can start a prairie fire.

In the end, Li Yan discussed with his ministers of civil and military affairs and advisers and decided to treat Buddhism and Brahmins on the Indochina Peninsula in accordance with Shuibo Liangshan's original religious policy, that is, to implement the religious law promulgated by Shuibo Liangshan, and support freedom of belief to a certain extent.

To emphasize, only to a certain extent.

In Indochina, the two forces of Buddhism and Brahmins were so powerful that Li Yan was afraid of them.

Therefore, at the same time as promulgating the religious law, Li Yan issued two constitutions and one encouragement.

The two constitutions are: 1. Government officials must be non-believers, and if it is confirmed that they belong to any denomination, they will be removed from office immediately, regardless of their position. 2. No religion is allowed to possess arms, and if discovered, it is immediately outlawed.

Li Yan's aim was that religion could no longer have secular power.

And one encouragement is to encourage the development of patriotic ideas and atheistic thoughts.

Of course, what Li Yan has formulated at the moment is only at this stage, and it will be changed in the future according to the specific situation, if things really develop to the point where it is impossible to do, or when it threatens his rule, Li Yan does not rule out the use of force to reshuffle the cards.

After dealing with the religious matter, Li Yan ordered that all slaves in Annam, Champong, Chenla, Bangkok, and Phuket must be unconditionally emancipated, and stressed that slavery was a backward and barbaric mechanism that must be abolished.

The abolition of slavery, as in the past, was met with great resistance.

But it doesn't matter, Shuibo Liangshan has a lot of experience in this area.

In short, it's still the old way, it's either for it or for it, it's up to you.

And the slaves who were rescued by Shuibo Liangshan were, like other places, the most loyal supporters of Shuibo Liangshan.

In the matter of abolition.

Buddhists preached Li Yan's good deeds and merits everywhere, while the Brahmins, who advocated the hierarchy, were horrified, thinking that Li Yan wanted to abandon the Brahmins, and then vigorously sent beautiful women to Li Yan, sang praises to Li Yan, and finally even molded Li Yan into a god.

Regarding the dispute between the two religions, Li Yan only guided in the direction that was beneficial to his own rule, and did not really favor one side or the other.

What Li Yan didn't expect was that under his own attitude, all religions had developed very well in his own place and had been well inherited.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

In dealing with many countries on the Indochina Peninsula, Li Yan and the wise men of Shuibo Liangshan racked their brains to make them fight, such as giving the land that belonged to this country to that country, such as giving the same land to two countries vaguely, and then starting from the aspect of religion and folklore to create contradictions for several countries.

Among them, the biggest contradiction comes from the kingdom of the queen and the kingdom of the fallen bowl.

The queen kingdom was built by the Thai people, and the kingdom of Luo Bodi was built by the Mon people, and the two countries were already full of contradictions.

As a result, even two months later, the kingdom of the queen and the kingdom of the Fallen Bowl fought after several unsuccessful negotiations.

Obviously, Shuibo Liangshan did this because he was going to wait until these countries were defeated, and then annex them one by one, so as to unify the Indochina Peninsula.

Of course, this process is still very long, maybe three or five years, maybe ten or eight years, maybe one hundred and eighty years, maybe it is a plan in vain.

However, even if it is not for that long-term goal, Shuibo Liangshan has to let these countries on the peninsula fight, otherwise, how can Shuibo Liangshan, who has just been in the Indochina Peninsula for less than half a year, gain a foothold here, how can it develop here, and how can it be guaranteed that these countries will not spy on the big trade road controlled by Shuibo Liangshan?

But then again, Li Yan can't expect other countries to fight each other, and the iron has to be hard, so after Li Yan considered it all, he also transferred the third compartment and stationed it in Chenla County, in addition, he ordered Hu Yanqing to form a fifth compartment based on half of the amphibious army, stationed in Phuket County, and ordered Li Zong to form a sixth compartment based on the other half of the amphibious army, stationed in Bangkok County, and ordered Xiao Jiasui to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Central South China to command all the troops on the Indochina Peninsula, and at the same time ordered the Seoul military department to recruit 200,000 reservists (100,000 Han Chineseand 100,000 children of good families of other ethnic groups) to be trained in case of emergency.

Obviously, after making a fortune in Angkor Thom, Li Yan has more courage and confidence.
