After the Han army landed, it advanced all the way north, and soon arrived at the enemy's military base, which was mostly destroyed, and met only sporadic resistance, which was quickly captured, captured some weapons and ammunition, and also captured the surrendered armed men.

After interrogation, it was learned that there was only one military base in the entire Funan Peninsula, and that it was the only one that had modern weapons in it. The entire peninsula of Funan outside the base is a backward native of the Cold Weapon Era.

And it also made Liu Xie guess that it was the ghost car that recruited the locals and formed this base after the ghost car came here, and I don't know where he transported a large number of modern weapons.

When Huang Tan and Liu Yan found out that the ghost car was in the base, they almost didn't kill him, and the ghost car actually escaped inexplicably. Regarding this, Liu Xie couldn't figure it out, according to the strength, the ghost car wanted to kill him Liu Xie, it was just a matter of minutes, why was it so mysterious?

However, he can only infer according to his original guess that this ghost car must be subject to some constraints, and he does not know what restrictions are.

Occupy the base, and the army will be stationed on the ruins of the base, collecting food everywhere, and moving the Han immigrants from the warships to reclaim the nearest land.

It didn't take long for the chief of the jungle to bring a large number of local natives to express his submission, and Liu Xie also accepted the submission of the local aborigines and began a great colonization plan in Funan, including spreading Han culture, bringing advanced living and production supplies, reclaiming land, building mines and factories, establishing an economic and commercial system, and radiating to the entire Funan Peninsula with the dense forest as the center.

Three days after the Han army occupied the ghost car base, ten airships from Ningbo Port also flew over and began to conduct a large-scale aerial reconnaissance of Funan, and did not find any slightly more advanced military facilities.

In other words, Funan is still the original Funan, the original history and backwardness.

Besides, Huang Tan hated him because he fell when he ran away, so he originally planned to marry him within ten days, but due to physical reasons, he has been raised for a month before he gets better.

A month after the Han army moved into Funan, Huang Tan and Liu Yan finally held a wedding in Funan.

In the following year, the Han army continued to develop Funan, and the tribes of Funan received various benefits from the advanced Han Dynasty, and one by one they all surrendered to the wind and expressed their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty.

To the east of Funan, there was a small and narrow kingdom near the sea, Linyi, which was also submitted to Shun and incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The process of sinicization took nearly a year, and the Funan Peninsula was basically subordinated to the Han Dynasty, and was organized into two states by Liu Xie, namely the 17th state North Funan Prefecture, referred to as North Fuzhou, and the 18th state South Funan Prefecture, referred to as South Fuzhou.

After subduing Funan, Liu Xie was not in a hurry to continue the expedition, but stationed in Funan, vigorously developed the economy of Funan, and remotely commanded Yan'er to rule Luoyang, and continued to develop the economy and military division.

Due to the increasing progress and strength of the military, Liu Xie's next action consists of two plans, one is to continue to advance westward under his own leadership, and march into the sound poison.

The second plan was to appoint a capable general to lead the army into the Nanyang Islands.

In fact, whether it is to march into Sound Poison or Australia, it will not be difficult for the Han Dynasty, which has the current military strength. But Liu Xie thought about it for a long time, because he understood that it was easy to fight the country, but it was difficult to defend the country.

In the original history, the three generations of Genghis Khan's ancestors and grandchildren only relied on cold weapons to lay down the largest rivers and mountains, from the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the Rhine River in the west, to the Arabian Peninsula in the southwest and even to North Africa.

However, although the Mongol Empire was strong, it also collapsed quickly, and the reason for this was that it was difficult to defend the country.

Now Liu Xie wants to be able to build such a big country and be able to hold on, so there are only two best ways: large-scale colonization, and cultural integration.

If these two points are done well, the overseas country will be stable, especially now that the world is still very backward.

Therefore, Liu Xie was not in a hurry, and sat down firmly in Funan before continuing to march.

In addition to the economic, military construction and cultural export and colonization of the whole of Funan. Liu Xie also built two ports on the jungle coast in southern Funan, one military and one civilian.

Liu Xie's next plan was to march into the body poison, which was in the west of Funan, with the Indian Ocean in between. The best plan for the army to march on the body poison is for the fleet to transport troops over.

If you go by road, there are many disadvantages, such as in this day and age, when cars are not yet widely available, and there is no mature road and rail network, so sea freight is the best choice.

Moreover, the Han army had a ready-made fleet, so it anchored in the port of Milin.

But when the fleet went to poison, there was a big problem, and that was the Kra Isthmus. In the southern part of Funan there was a long isthmus that stretched all the way to the present-day Indonesian archipelago, which the Han Dynasty called the Java Islands.

The southernmost tip of this isthmus is the kingdom of Duwu and the kingdom of Pizong, and further south of the kingdom of Pizong is the island of Sumatra, and there is a narrow strait between the kingdom of Pizong and the island of Sumatra.

This strait is the Strait of Malacca, the world's civilization! In the Han Dynasty, it was called the Pizong Strait.

If you want to enter the Indian Ocean and then go to Shenzhi, you have to pass through the Pizon Strait, but the Milin port is far from the Pizon Strait, and in order to save energy, Liu Xie plans to dig a canal at the narrowest point of the Kra Isthmus, so that a long distance can be saved.

At the narrowest point of the Kra Isthmus, there was a tribe called Laiya, and Liu Xie planned to send an army to conquer it, and then dig a canal in the Laiya tribe.

At the same time as digging the Laiya Canal, it was also necessary to send troops to conquer Pizon in order to control the Pizon Strait.

In the seventeenth year of the Milky Way, at the end of the year, Funan was initially decided, and Liu Xie convened a meeting of the ministers to discuss the next step of the expedition plan.

Seeing the ministers gathered, Liu Xie asked Xiao Luozi to hang the map of Nanyang in the center of the hall, and he came to the map and said: "Zhongqing, although this ghost car didn't catch him, we also did a big thing, that is, Funan was pacified, and there were two more states in my Han Dynasty." But my plans are much more than that, and while we are gaining momentum, it's time to think about the next step, and we can't rest on our laurels! ”

Zhuge Liang asked, "Does Your Majesty have any plans?" ”

Liu Xie pointed to the Java Islands and the Australian mainland in the lower right corner, and said: "These places have a vast area, fertile land, and rich marine resources, but there are very few human beings living in them, and they are all backward, uncivilized, and there is no completed public house, many of them are still in a primitive society, slash-and-burn farming. We need to reclaim it! ”
