"Does the saint remember the Tang Dynasty King Xuance?" Pu Yuanyi saw that Zhao Ji was not confident, and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"Wang Xuance? You know a lot about the history of Middle-earth! Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Tang Dynasty Wang Xuance, how could Zhao Xuan not know? In the history of China, or in the history of the world, the unique figures, whether it is Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great, all the brilliant achievements, can not be compared with Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance has created a historical miracle that has never been seen before or since, and one person has destroyed a country!

In 647 AD, Wang Xuance was ordered by Tang Taizong to envoy Tianzhu for the second time. Unexpectedly, at this time, the king of Jieri, who ruled many small princes in Tianzhu, died of illness, and the emperor of the Dinava Empire, Azuna, took advantage of the chaos to usurp the throne and carry out cruel religious persecution.

When Arzuna heard that the Tang envoy was coming, he sent more than 1,000 soldiers to ambush the Tang envoy and put Wang Xuance and his party in prison. Wang Xuance and his deputy envoy Jiang Shiren ventured to escape from prison, and with the help of Princess Rakya Sriri, the sister of the King of the Ring of the Sun, they escaped from Tianzhu and went north to Nepal, vowing to destroy India to avenge the humiliation!

After negotiating with the king of Nepal, Wang Xuance borrowed 7,000 Nepalese cavalry in the name of Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tubo, and later Tubo assisted 1,200 cavalry, plus the army of the surrounding Tang vassal states, and gathered a vassal alliance army of more than 10,000 people.

Wang Xuance led this foreign coalition army as a single person, and then entered Tianzhu, and launched a fierce battle with Azuna's tens of thousands of troops, killing thousands of enemy troops, drowning more than 10,000 people, and capturing more than 10,000 people.

Although he was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty who had made "unprecedented miraculous achievements in world history", Wang Xuance's experience of envoying Tianzhu three times is rarely recorded in the history books. The reason for this is that the Japanese scholar Yoshiki Tanaka humorously said that the dazzling brilliance of Master Xuanzang's study of scriptures in the Chinese classic "Journey to the West" drowned out his contemporary, Wang Xuance, and his official position was relatively low, and it was impossible to erect a monument for him alone in the official history. A person becomes famous by publicity, and in the absence of any publicity, this hero is eventually forgotten by the world.

It was this forgotten name that was mentioned again in the mouth of a big cannibal, and Zhao Ji couldn't help but be shocked. What is Tang Dynasty? Easily unwilling to be humiliated, courageous, wise, one person destroys a country, this is the Tang Dynasty!

Zhao Ji still remembers that later generations excavated the stone tablet of Wang Xuanzele Shigong in India, and Zhao Ji especially wanted to go to India to see this stone tablet for a while!

"Shengshang, the son of the grass people is now in high school in the Great Song Dynasty, and in his day, the son of the grass people may also become the courtiers of the Holy Lord and become a real Song person." Pu Yuanyi saw Zhao Ji's excited look, and knew that Zhao Ji had been instigated, so he couldn't help but set up almost.

"It seems that I can't afford to fall behind. But today's situation is different from that of Datang, and Wang Xuance's exploits are impossible to repeat. Without a certain certainty, I will not send the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to fight in a foreign land. Zhao Ji said calmly.

Zhao Ji finally calmed down, he was still self-aware, and he knew that he couldn't compare with such a big historical figure at all. India's climate is humid and hot, which is completely different from the climate of Central Asian steppes and West Asia, and India's war elephant troops are not so easy to deal with, which is why historical conquering monarchs such as Genghis Khan and Alexander did not conquer India.

Even the Ghaznavid dynasty, after conquering the Indus Valley, did not continue deep into India. Historically, India has indeed been a country that has often been conquered. It should not be said about the country, only about the Indian region. For most of its history, India was a multitude of states, and rarely built a unified empire. This leaves India without a complete history of its own. His history is often recorded in the history of other countries that traveled to India or made missions to India.

The nations that were able to conquer India were only able to do so after mixing in the Indus Valley in northeastern India for hundreds of years, adapting to the Indian climate, and understanding the situation in India. Now in the Great Song Dynasty, the understanding of India is only a few historical records of the Tang Dynasty and some observations of maritime merchants. If you fight like this, I don't know how much you will lose.

No matter how strong the armies of the Indian countries were, even the frequent tropical diseases in the humidity and heat could wipe out the expeditionary forces of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji is not going to send his army over to die!

"Is the Holy One worried about the hot and humid climate of India?" Pu Yuanyi immediately guessed what Zhao Ji was thinking.

Pu Yuanyi saw that Zhao Ji actually knew about the Ghaznavid Dynasty, and knew that the Green Clothes and Great Food were just a small country, so it would not be a smear to the Heavenly World, or even the Indian World. It is speculated that Zhao is worried about India's climate problems.

"What can you do? India has a complex topography and a large population, and there are many tropical diseases. Coupled with the fanaticism of Hinduism, it will not be much less than that of Celestial Buddhism! Zhao Ji said worriedly.

Zhao did have the idea of imitating the British colonization of India in later generations. India has a large population and produces a lot of food. The Sindh region on the lower Indus River is a big granary. During the Tang Dynasty, when the 200,000 army of Dashi and the 30,000 army of the four towns of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty confronted each other, all the food supplies came from Xinde.

If India can be captured, ten years later, the Great Song Dynasty will develop the entire Nanyang region, and it will be supported by India in terms of manpower and food supply.

"When Da Shi and Da Tang stood side by side in the past, they also had the idea of conquering India. This is a map of the Indian countries, although it is two hundred years ago, but it should work, the Indian world is a stagnant world. As for tropical diseases, the grass people saw that the mountain army on the Holy Mountain was short in stature and had natural archery skills, so it should be a hunter in the tropical rainforest area, and if they could use this army to conquer India, they would be invincible. Pu Yuanyi stood up, walked up to Zhao Ji, squatted down and presented the map to Zhao Jidao.

Pu Yuanyi was born in India. At that time, his father and grandfather, with this map, also led an army of 30,000 green clothes and food across the ocean to conquer India, conquer several small countries in India, and establish the Solant Heavenly Kingdom. It's just that Tenfangism is in serious opposition to Hinduism, and his grandfather forced the Indians to defect, which was strongly resisted. After the invasion of India and the Chandras, coupled with the resistance of the Hindus in the country, the Solant Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed by the rebellious Hindus.

Pu Yuanyi's grandfather died in battle, and his father abandoned the country and crossed the sea with the remnants of thousands of troops to escape back to the Green Clothes Eat, but was attacked by the Black Clothes Eater at sea and had to flee eastward, and later settled in the city. Pu Yuanyi's plan to attack India can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of his ancestors.

"30,000 troops can conquer India, a region with a population of 80 million and an army of millions, I really don't have the courage. In addition, there is an expedition across the sea, not to mention other things, and the supply of ordnance, grain and grass may be a problem. After looking at the map, Zhao Ji still shook his head and said.

Zhao Ji remembered attacking Jiaozhi a few years ago, and he didn't know how much time he spent preparing and how much effort he put into it. There are too many things to consider on the expedition across the sea, even if the Great Song Dynasty has developed in navigation now, the annual shipbuilding volume of the Great Song Dynasty can almost be compared with the shipbuilding volume of the whole of Europe in the Age of Discovery, but this is not a fight, but a fight against India farther away.

"Holy Lord, the countries of India are scattered, although the Chola country has a population of 10 million and an army of more than 200,000. However, he is also an army of 200,000 people. Of these 200,000 troops, 100,000 were fighting on the Ganges, and 100,000 were crossing the sea to conquer the Srivijaya. As long as the Great Song Dynasty naval division can completely annihilate the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Chola Kingdom, the long coastline on the east coast of the Chola Kingdom will be exposed in front of the Great Song Army. The Great Song Dynasty raided the capital of Zhuluo again, and the Zhuluo Kingdom would be broken. Pu Yuanyi agitated.

Historically, in the third year of Xining, that is, in 1070 AD, there was an incident similar to the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Dynasty in the Chola Kingdom, the youngest son killed the eldest brother and inherited the throne. However, both the eastern expedition to Srivijaya and the northern expedition to the Ganges region suffered a crushing defeat. Even if the Great Song Dynasty did not send troops this time, the Three Buddhas would be able to defeat the eastward expansion of the Chola Kingdom.

"Won't the Chola Kingdom recruit any more soldiers? With a population of tens of millions, it is not a problem to raise a million troops in the face of a war of annihilation. Zhao Ji felt that this Pu Yuanyi was a little whimsical, and couldn't help but ask.

"Does the Holy One know the teachings of Hinduism? Although the Chola Kingdom had a population of 10 million, most of them were mere slaves who paid taxes. It is not the same to whom the slaves were slaves. If you count the population, you don't count the slaves. The population of Chola was less than a million. Pu Yuanyi reminded.

The slaves mentioned by Pu Yuanyi are the third and fourth castes of Hindu teachings - Vaishyas and Shudras. Historically, after the failure of the Eastern Expedition to Srivijaya, the state of Chola weakened rapidly, and the territory of the country shrank to the point that it could not be seen. It may be that the Kshatriyas and Brahmins, who were the ruling class, were almost dead in foreign wars, and the Chola kingdom was no longer capable of ruling over a huge territory.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ji hasn't understood it yet.

"Although the upper class of India is culturally prosperous, the lower class has not changed for thousands of years. The vast countryside of India was only a source of taxes for the higher castes, and as long as they paid taxes, the Brahmins and Kshatriyas never paid attention to them. Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor and officials also had to pay attention to the livelihood of the people, open up wasteland, and build water conservancy and roads. In India, Brahmins and Kshatriyas would only use slaves to build their temples and tombs. The Hindu caste is a completely hereditary occupation, including those Kshatriyas who served as soldiers. The Holy Lord's conquest of the Chola Kingdom would destroy their Kshatriya class as long as they destroyed the military power of the Chola Kingdom, and force their Brahmins to recognize the Holy Army's army as Kshatriyas, then they would be able to conquer the Chola Kingdom and even the whole of India. Pu Yuanyi explained.

The caste system in India is like the four ethnic groups divided by the Yuan Dynasty, and it is even more cruel. The so-called concept of purity in Hindu teachings has led to a serious estrangement among their castes. In such a situation, India is simply unable to rally its strength to defend itself against foreign invasion. For this reason, the history of India is a history of conquest.

The Yuan Dynasty also implemented the military household and artisan household system, and all occupations were hereditary. This system was also used by the Ming Dynasty, which was a serious social regression. In this way, it is not unreasonable to say that there is no China after Yashan.

Zhao Ji smiled. In the Song Dynasty, the most humane thing is that the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty would not build their own mausoleums on a large scale, and would not build mausoleums from the beginning of their reigns until they died, as in previous dynasties.

"In fact, the Great Song Dynasty also has a household registration system. Craftsmen have craftsman status, officials have sergeant status, soldiers have military status, and merchants have business status. If the Great Song Dynasty is invaded, all the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be soldiers! I have heard that Hinduism is a religion of devotion and is no less fanatical than your Celestial religion. If I send an army against Chola, there is no guarantee that the Brahmins will not call on their slaves to rise up against my army. Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Hinduism can be said to be a very self-righteous religion, and Buddhism, which has not yet been sinicized, advocates ascetic dedication to the gods. The kind that starves oneself to death, and the merit is fulfilled.

"Shengshang, the household registration system of the Great Song Dynasty is only for the convenience of taxation and administration, and does not restrict the movement between various household registrations. Officials also have a day when they go home to farm, merchants can freely withdraw from business without doing business, and soldiers will also be removed from the military after retirement. This is not possible in India. Kshatriyas and Brahmins have been at odds for a long time, and as long as the Holy One destroys the Kshatriyas in the Chola Kingdom, the Brahmins are like a herd of lambs to the slaughter. The Holy One could divide them, and as long as the interests of the Brahmins were protected from the beginning, the Brahmins would not heed the Kshatriyas' pleas. Pu Yuanyi analyzed.

"Li Xiang'an, call Xiao Yiyuan and Li Chang back." Zhao Ji was silent for a while and spoke.
