Chapter 465: Sweeping Nanyang I
In May of the third year of the last century, Li Rong, the governor of the Puket Governor's Office, led the army to slaughter Daguaba, seized countless gold and silver, and won hundreds of war elephants, and continued to wave the army north, fighting more than ten battles and destroying five Meng. To the north, the Bacang River in the southeastern part of the Birao Mountains was established as a lower boundary, and the country of Gokuro was placed north of the Bacang River.
Li Rong and King Geguluo defined that the east-west section of the lower reaches of the Bacang River to the east to the south of the line of Bilao Mountain belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and the north belonged to Goguluo, and the Goguluo generals were subordinate to the Tang Dynasty to guard the west coast of northern Xinjiang.
Immediately, Li Rong's army turned east and crossed Bilao Mountain to the central part of Pramburi Province in later Thailand, where he met the state of Chira, which had moved north on the orders of Yang Shihong.
Looking at the document presented to Yang Shihong by King Jiluo, Li Rong, who was worried that there was no client state on the east coast of the peninsula to guard the frontier, was very happy.
After picking up the wind and dust for the king of Chira and his entourage, he drove a thousand maroline troops as the vanguard, and the Tang army then marched north to conquer the wolf tooth in the north.
The king of the wolf's tooth was afraid that the Tang army would surrender without a fight, and after Li Rong extorted a large amount of money, he forced the king of the wolf's tooth to sign a treaty between the two countries of Tang and wolf.
The treaty stipulates that from now on, the Langya State will be the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty and a vassal forever, guarding the northern frontier, and will be ordered to be requisitioned from the Phuket Governor's Office, and the annual tribute of rice shall be 20,000 stones, and the value of gold and silver property to be paid shall not be less than 50,000 yuan.
In addition, the southern territory of the country needs to be designated as the territory of the Urla, and the two countries must treat each other as friendly neighbors, and must not conquer each other, and if there is a dispute, it must be submitted to the Phuket Governor's Office for adjudication.
With trembling hands, the Wolf Tooth King pressed his handprint on the duplicate treaty made of rice paper.
Li Rong put away the paperwork with satisfaction, waved the monarchs and ministers of the wolf's tooth country out of the camp like a slave, and took out another document on the demarcation of the border between the Tang Dynasty and the subject state of Jiluo.
The book stipulates that a remnant of the east coast of the Birao Mountains, as the locals call Mount Galama, draws a straight line eastward to the sea as the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Gora Kingdom.
After listening to the translation and reading it once, the monarch had no objections, and couldn't wait to press the handprint on the document.
Li Rong was very satisfied with the performance of the monarchs and ministers, and before leaving, he also told them: "There are no people in the territory of a certain Tang Dynasty who have come to settle down and reclaim, and a certain will also lead the whole army to return to the south this time and will not garrison here." After a certain departure, you need to restrain your own people not to cross the border to reclaim and hunt, otherwise it will be regarded as an invasion of a certain Tang territory, and a certain will wave an army to ask for it. ”
The monarch and minister of Jiluo trembled in fright, and hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, we will strictly restrain the people, never cross the boundary, and wholeheartedly guard the northern frontier for the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Rong nodded: "I have to take a good look at the wolf's teeth, and if there is any change in his promise, report it immediately." ”
"I will respect the order of the governor......"
Since then, the Polar Peninsula has been owned by the Tang Dynasty, except for the northernmost Langya and the three countries of Gogolo and Jiluo settled here.
……
After the South China Sea Fleet annihilated the Combined Fleet of the Four Nations, Li Wenchang, who was victorious, sent Chen Tianxi to lead 5,000 troops to land at the mouth of the Badanghari River in Moluoyu with the help of the South China Sea Fleet.
The commander of the South China Sea Fleet ordered Xue Yao to go upriver upstream, with 100 warships and fighting ships suitable for inland river operations, to annihilate the only remaining 200 ships of Morayou who came to intercept him, and to advance with Chen Tianxi by land and water to attack the city of Morayou, the capital of Morayou on the south bank of the Badanghari River, which is located on the south bank of the Badanghari River, 200 miles from the coast.
King Moluo You died in the Battle of the South Sea on Linga Island that day, and the new king who was elected was only a young man in his twenties, and he was helpless in the face of the pressure of the Tang army, and the country's troops were exhausted.
Mo Luo You has two major battles with the Puluo Governor's Mansion, and the soldiers and horses dispatched are more than 10,000 people, all of which are defeated and returned, and the adults and young people in the country are almost empty, and the city can pull out more than 2,000 people to defend the city.
Chen Tianxi's troops surrounded Mo Luo You, and the new king of Mo Luo You had to bring more than 30,000 mouths of the whole city to surrender, offering 100,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, 1,000 pearls, hundreds of gems, and a lot of various spices.
Under the bright sun, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were scattered, and the shining Chen Tianxi, Xue Yao and other Tang army generals could only squint their eyes and look greedily at the pile of treasures in front of them.
The aroma of various spices made the Tang soldiers even more intoxicated.
On one side were piles of gold and silver treasures and charming spices, and on the other side were the desolate expressions of the monarchs and ministers of Moluo You who knelt down under the orders of the Tang army.
Chen Tianxi made a difficulty, and before leaving, Li Wenchang instructed him to slaughter all the people in and outside the city after breaking through the city of Moluo, so as not to let the tiger return to the mountain and not be conducive to the subsequent immigration to enrich the local area.
Everyone took the initiative to surrender, and if they slaughtered again, it was unreasonable, and if it was spread out, the other indigenous kingdoms in Nanyang would definitely fight to the death and not surrender, so that the attacking Tang army would lose its soldiers in vain.
Chen Tianxi found Xue Yao, who was drinking wine and eating the arowana caught from the river and cutting it into fish with a group of generals on the warship.
Arowana are only found on the Polar Peninsula, Borneo, and Sumatra.
The mouth is large, there are two tentacles at the corners of the lips, and the demeanor is leisurely when swimming, like the mythical "dragon", so it is named "Arowana". This fish is a golden color, with five layers of scales, similar to gold bars.
After Tang Jun came to Nanyang, he found arowana in the Tamsui River and liked it, and it became an indispensable dish for making fish on the table.
Chen Tianxi endured his appetite and told Xue Yao of the problem in front of him, wanting to hear his opinion on whether to kill or stay the Moluo tourists.
Xue Yao, as the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, has the same status as the governors of all prefectures, but he only cares about sea battles rather than land battles. After annihilating the remnants of the remnants of the naval division, the entire South China Sea Fleet was waiting to share the spoils.
Hearing what Chen Tianxi said, Xue Yao smiled and said: "You Li Dudu simply have no long-term vision, and you killed all these barbarians, where did the slaves come from to reclaim the rainforest and build bridges and pave roads?" I don't want to think about it, the Nanyang rainforest is hot and humid, and there are many poisonous insects and ants, according to His Royal Highness, they carry all kinds of diseases. Nuo didn't need these indigenous slaves to reclaim the dense rainforest into arable land, and let the immigrants go to reclaim the land themselves, so that there would be an outbreak of epidemics. Although artemisinin is present, this thing is not a cure for all diseases. ”
"Isn't there still Luo Yue Country, and for immigrants to reclaim land, you can levy labor from Luo Yue Country."
"How many people is Luo Yueguo?"
Xue Yao chewed the tender fish in his mouth and asked rhetorically.
"More than 20,000 ......"
Chen Tianxi suddenly came to his senses, Luo Yue had more than 20,000 people, and the number of laborers that could be levied was two or three thousand. At present, the Andong Pioneer Group moves more than 200,000 people to the South Seas every year, and more than one million acres of fields need to be cultivated, which is absolutely not satisfied by Luo Yueguo's labor alone.
Then, it is necessary to leave the lives of the Mora tourists.
"Hahaha, it's still Commander Xue who thinks thoughtfully, it seems that he has to persuade the governor to go back, and blindly slaughtering is not self-interested."
"You can figure it out, our Highness's Nanyang great cause has succeeded one step further."
Xue Yao said with emotion: "Like Yang Shihong and Li Rong, who conquered the indigenous forces on the peninsula, they only knew that they were slaughtered everywhere, and the thousands of miles of people killed were indeed able to ensure a safe environment for subsequent settlements. But there are no slaves who take the risk of reclaiming the rainforest in place of immigrants, is it safe for immigrants who have just arrived? Not necessarily. Li Wenchang was also able to rely on the Luo Yue country under his command to levy labor and cultivate farmland in the rainforest for the immigrants, so as to prevent the more than 100,000 immigrants from contracting the epidemic. Keno is continuing his strategy of slaughtering Ganga and Pahang in Morayu, where else can he find slaves for use? ”
