Chapter 180: Adoption and Victory

After the Tang army entered the city, it directly subverted the image perception of the people of Yingji Wangcheng for the invaders, not to mention the surrender ceremony of beating gongs, drums, singing and dancing, the first thing the Tang army did was to put on brand-new military uniforms for the existing more than 2,000 troops in Yingji Wangcheng, and then told them that their military salaries would be the same as those of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary soldiers had a military salary of 1,000 copper coins a month, which was the consistent money of the Tang people. The absolute high salary made the soldiers of Yingji City turn the object of allegiance into Datang in an instant.

Then there is the King Yingji and his subordinate officials and staff, the Tang army not only did not rob them of their wealth and restrict their personal freedom, but also gave them a lot of gifts such as wine and food, his palace still belongs to him, but the name was changed to Yingfu, I heard that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will have official positions and property rewards for him later, and he may be in charge of more land in the future than he is now.

"Is this still a surrender?"

King Hun Sen listened to the report of his subordinates in his palace and asked in a daze, originally he still had some contempt for the spineless behavior of his ally who surrendered without a fight, but now he has no such thoughts at all.

"The people of Yingji Wangcheng no longer say that the Tang army has seized their homeland, but that they have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, as long as they submit to the Tang Dynasty, they can get the same treatment as the people of the Tang Dynasty, not only can they get the protection of the Tang army, they don't have to worry about their homeland being affected by the war, but they can also enjoy the wine and food brought by the Tang people, and even the miraculous medicines, you don't know, the Tang people perform songs and dances on the high platform of the Yingji King City every day, and also treat the people of the Yingji King City for free, those cold and flu diseases, They only need one pill to be cured, it is only half a month, and the people of Yingji City are going to worship them as immortals, and I heard that the generals of the front-line commanders also received the letter brought by King Yingji and their families, and decided to swear to return to the Tang Dynasty. Let the Tang people defend the frontier for them.

"This, this, this."

King Hun Sen didn't have a fart for a long time, and finally decided to send a letter of surrender to the Tang Dynasty after consulting with a group of ministers, to see if the Tang Dynasty would treat him like King Yingji.

After receiving a letter from King Hun Sen, Yang Lin's mood was finally better, he was busy these days, and he had never been in charge of political affairs, and he finally sorted out the population, fields, army and other problems under King Yingji. King Yingji, who had more than 300,000 people, had an army of about 28,000 people, almost one out of every ten people was a soldier, not only male soldiers, but also about 3,000 female soldiers, 200 war elephants, three cities, nineteen stockades, and hundreds of sailing ships, most of which were small and medium-sized sailing ships with three masts. Even if it is both land and water, it has some strength, but it is not strong.

The 300,000 people are less than one-tenth of the current Chang'an City, not to mention the 19 villages scattered in three cities, that is, all in one city. This is only the population size of a state city, even the largest Yingji royal city, with less than 100,000 permanent residents, and the people living in the dozen or so villages are the people who account for the majority of Yingji's people. Now the art troupe has been divided into several groups, in addition to going down to the villages to declare their rule, but also bringing condolences and some gifts to the people in those villages. Needless to say, the gifts are naturally made in Chang'an, and if they use them once, they will immediately get tired of the rough things they used before, Yanglin, a later thinker, has thought of many ways to win over the hearts of these people, and the army even brought farm tools with them, but it was the first time in the past.

It's not so much that Yanglin is here to fight, it's better to say that he's here to invest, short-term investment can bring long-term returns for Datang, and the Jiaozhi people have more efficient farm tools, they can grow more food, why do they grow so much food? Naturally, they are happy with the Tang people in exchange for something delicious, easy to use, and fun, because as long as they don't rebel, they will be happier than the people in many other places in the Tang Dynasty if they guard the treasure land of Jiaozhi.

The surrender ceremony of King Hun Sen was set at the end of the first month, Yang Lin promised to give him the same treatment as King Yingji, 15,000 marine officers and soldiers have landed, pushing a door mounted on four big wheeled carts of Shenwei cannon, such a powerful army is not at all more than 2,000 soldiers in Hun Sen King City can resist, but King Hun Sen who can't help it actually ran to Yingji King City in advance to meet Yang Lin.

Yanglin wrote a long piece of music to Li Er, expounding on the situation of the land of Jiaozhi, which includes Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Thailand, and Cambodia in the later generations, and now has a population of more than two million, and needs a large number of officials to govern, and the permanent army is also very necessary, because it is bordered by the country of Pi in the south and Tibet in the west, if the Tang Dynasty integrates it, it is bound to have some border friction with the two countries, and he has now ambushed King Yingji and King Hun Sen, King Hongdu has been disabled by him, just wait for him to complete the army, It is not difficult to capture the city of Tony, the land of the four coastal countries is in hand, it needs follow-up development and construction and material supplements, which is already a big project, as for the more important rubber tree production base, it is also necessary to advance to the territory of King Mori Jieta and the Khmer King, Yanglin speculates that the territory of the last Khmer King may have reached the Xishuangbanna region of Yunnan in later generations.

Stable rule, from the new army is Yanglin will be busy in the next two months, and the retreat from those water-absorbing stone mountain ranges Cheng Chumo's army has also set off after a month of repair, this time with them marched with the pure firearms team of the Chinese army.

As Li Tai expected, Li Er frowned for a long time after listening to the report of the battle to rescue the vanguard army, if Li Ke has not been able to adapt to the battlefield, he will exclude him from the ranks of heir candidates, recently he seems to have paid more attention to Li Tai's training, not only let him serve as the commander of the firearms battalion of the Chinese army, but also let those secret guards who accompanied Li Ke to develop gunpowder walk around with Li Tai more, and Li Ke has completely reduced to a road builder, what can make him excited every day is a difficult road, Finally repaired by him.

"Chu Mo, you can see, with the firearms battalion in charge of me joining, I am sure to make your vanguard army indomitable and invincible." Li Er walked behind a row of Shenwei cannons pushed by four-wheeled vehicles, followed by Cheng Chumo, this time they were going to attack the position built by An Miao, and more than a month is the beginning of spring, and then the rainy season here, so the army has to take An Miao completely in more than a month, once the rainy season comes, the power of gunpowder will be greatly reduced, and it can not even be used, and the Tang army, which is not superior in the number of troops at that time, may not be the opponent of An Miao warriors.

"I hope your ability to play with fire can be half of Kezi's, this thing is really as Xiao Linzi said, it's a technical job, our vanguard army is also equipped with some gunpowder, even under my strict protection, there are some leaks, and some people have died, you, be more careful, don't be blown up by your own gunpowder." Cheng Chumo's feelings for gunpowder are quite complicated, not to mention the more than 1,000 brothers who died when they got out of trouble a few days ago, that is, when they were fighting with An Miao's soldiers in the process of being trapped, they also detonated two gunpowder shells in their own formation because of careless operation, fortunately, the yield was not large, but a few soldiers near the explosion point were killed, but it was those two accidents that almost allowed the opposing army to find their breakthrough.

Cheng Chumo now felt that the Miao people were not so afraid of gunpowder bombs, they were just afraid of white phosphorus bombs launched with second-stage rockets, and the feeling that a large number of people would die without even knowing where the enemy was too frightening.

Thirty Shenwei cannons are lined up, this is still the most precipitous place in Guangxi, so it is not difficult to find open space, and An Miao's base camp is not in the kind of place where it is difficult for manpower to enter, after all, after hundreds of years of contact with the Han people, their cultural level has been comparable to that of many Han people.

Cheng Chumo's frustrated words did not affect Li Tai's mood, this is the first time he has been a military commander, and he is commanding a relatively critical battle, his interest and strong desire for meritorious service have prompted him to be very excited, even if he has walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, he has not seen him cry tired.

"Calibrate the target, prepare for reloading."

The team composed of hundreds of internal servants and the forbidden army adjusted the angle of the muzzle in an orderly manner, and began to load the test firing distance of the empty pack ammunition, I don't know when it started, the war has become so simple, anyway, the five thousand vanguard troops standing with swords are as complicated as Cheng Chumo's expression, with these terrible things, do they still need to start hand-to-hand combat with the enemy and fight for their lives?

The answer is not very needed, the sound of the roaring of the cannon is destined to An Miao will not be able to hold here, the world and the earth are trembling when the gunpowder bomb is blown up, how can people survive in that environment, Cheng Chu covered his ears in a daze and watched Li Tai bombard every Miao people's soldiers for more than a dozen rounds before pulling out their command knives, and now they are going to turn into butchers, to kill those Miao people who may have been blown up, or who have been blown up and have no reaction, this is the first time that the Tang Army has fired at the enemy inhumanely in the war, In Li Tai's eyes, there is no word humanity at all, he simply and rudely believes that if you kill them, the war will be won, and this world is up to him.

"Attack."

Cheng Chumo's shouting was very loud, but the morale of the soldiers was not very high, after more than an hour of bombardment, there were very few soldiers who could survive the Anmiao guard, the stump arms and limbs flew everywhere, and after the blood was sucked into the water-absorbing stone, the surface color of the stone turned black and bloody, and now there are such blood-colored stones everywhere, and the Tang army won the victory so lightly.
