403 Governance of the Central South

Datang is so "gracious and difficult", and King An Ying of Zhenla has no choice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In fact, it took only one day for a Tang army to break through the important town of Phnom Penh, the capital of Zhenla, and Phnom Penh was not the capital of Zhenla for a period of time. In order to avoid conflict, even Nguyen Phuc Anh ordered his subordinates to withdraw from Chenla under the leadership of Song Thiam Phuc and the troops of Old Nguyen. King An Ying of Zhenla had no choice but to choose to be a mascot with no real power in the end.

After the Yamato Corps entered Cambodia, although it could not be mentioned as the regular Tang Army, which had a correct outlook and did not take a stitch from the masses, it basically did not cause any damage to the local area. There is not much that the Tang army can do in Cambodia now, and there are not many people who can speak Khmer, and it is not a simple matter to find a translator. Chenla's political system will be similar to that of Siam, another overseas consulate, but it will also require a whole team of Tang civil servants and the training of local officials who can be good doglegs. This is not an overnight thing, and initially, the Tang Army will restore law and order in Cambodia.

Like the colonies established by the Western powers in other regions, the Tang Dynasty did not have strong control over Siam and Chenla, and although it had stationed troops in the area and defeated the regimes that opposed it, it was not enough to talk about effective governance. Even compared to colonies such as British India, the Tang Dynasty overseas territories such as Siam and Chenla were much inferior. Of course, to a certain extent, the Tang Dynasty's handling of its own overseas territories and the Western powers' treatment of their colonies are completely different attitudes.

In terms of guiding philosophy, the colonies of the Western powers are simply the places where they extract their wealth, even if they are immigrants to the local area, such as the Thirteen Colonies of North America in those years. Its main purpose is also to bring better economic benefits to the UK after development. The Spaniards plundered gold and silver in South America, forcing the local Indians to mine for them. For the sake of interests, they will not care whether the colonized people live or die, and the balanced and uneven development and the good or bad environment are not in the consideration of the colonists.

Of course. In essence, the Tang Dynasty went to occupy Siam, Chenla and other places, also for profit. It has to be mentioned that the land that Datang now occupies has long exceeded its development needs. The Tang Dynasty now controls the west coast of North America, which can accommodate even if the population explodes for centuries. Moreover, the Qing State has been incorporated into the Tang system, coupled with Oceania, which has not yet been touched by Westerners, and a series of other overseas territories established before the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty can only be said to be too much to take care of now. On the issue of simple immigration. Datang will not be able to evenly emigrate to various overseas territories and localities. Regions such as Oyu, Siam, and Chenla are not in the top part of the Tang Dynasty immigration sequence.

Economically, Datang hopes to get more from Siam Chenla and other regions, on the one hand, they will be a reliable export market for Datang's industrial products, and on the other hand, Datang hopes to liberate the local productive forces through social reforms that are not too drastic, so as to promote social progress. Obviously, in a more civilized region, nature is able to generate more benefits. Siam and Chenla, which are simply cultivated as a rice. Datang itself is a grain-rich country, and it does not need so much rice produced locally. Therefore, in agriculture, Datang has to optimize the industrial structure of Siam and Chenla, for example, to increase the proportion of planting some cash crops.

In Siam, the Tang Dynasty obtained a part of the local labor force by emancipating the serfs and abolishing the Sakdina system. At the same time, a large area of Siam fell into the hands of the Tang people, and the Tang people naturally could use this land and labor. Plantations were established in Siam to grow economically valuable crops such as rubber and abaca. After that, these Tang-funded plantations would obviously be much more profitable than the ordinary landlords who grew grain, and then other Siamese people would want to grow the same cash crops to make a profit.

Then the Tang people can open some local factories for the processing of agricultural products. It is more difficult and more expensive to do some business that is shipped to Datang for local processing. In addition, Siam itself still has some minerals with mining value, and the Tang people can also open some industrial mines, so that Siam has a relatively basic industry.

The Tang people will also run business locally, because the well-established business network and services will facilitate the trading and circulation of goods, which will naturally facilitate the income of the Tang people.

In fact, the Tang people still really want to live in peace and not fight, and take good care of the territory they have won. However, there are always some guys like Bai Nan in this country, who are happily staking all over the world. When the Tang Dynasty first took control of Hawaii, it actually wanted to have a region where tropical crops were produced, mainly sugar cane and rubber. Although the Hawaiian Islands are not big, they are enough for the Tang people to develop for a short time. Later, the Tang people relied on a group of pirates to take Borneo, the third largest island in the world. There is a colonial foundation here, and there are also some resources, which can be exploited by the Tang people. However, the Tang people first took away most of the Chinese immigrants here in a wave to enrich the homeland, and then they were not satisfied, and seized the three southeastern states through the North American War of Independence, and took Hokkaido Island and Sakhalin Island when implementing the Cuckoo Plan. The three southeastern states are still far away, and although the land is fertile and vast, it is not easy to colonize. Hokkaido and Sakhalin, which have become the islands of Kookwi in the north and south, can also be developed. In particular, the Tang Dynasty also brought 600,000 Manchus from the Qing Dynasty to exile here, and the labor force was sufficient, so that a very decent colony could be built.

But the Guwei Collar was not finished, and the Tang people took down the Ou Yu in the hands of the shogunate again, and directly planted the flag on the Japanese archipelago. It is not a development focus at all, but has become a base for recruiting cheap mercenaries.

The Sunda Islands in Southeast Asia have laid a lot of territory, which has not yet been developed, and they have intervened in Indochina through the civil strife in Siam. It can be said that Bai Nan's current Datang civil servant resources in his hands are relatively untied to supply the United China Special Economic Zone, plus Siam and Zhenla, which are larger in area, it is really hehe.

Therefore, Bai Nan now has to think of other ways, such as training a group of talents with management ability from the Qing State to go to the Indochina Peninsula to manage the natives there instead of the Tang people. This method is a good one, because in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and other places, Datang has set up educational institutions to train civil servants, and gradually acquired the ability to train such talents.
