87. Start a war
Duan Zhengming is a gentleman who keeps things done, and he doesn't really want to start a war, after all, he believes in Buddhism, and now the country is stable, the people are rich, what a good day, he doesn't want to be troublesome.
But Li Yifei expounded the higher ideals of the country, and even described waging war as the spread of civilization.
In the end, Duan Zhengming still agreed to his invitation.
Li Yifei immediately ordered the four generals Chu, Zhu, Gu, and Fu to send troops to attack Annam, Lancang, Angkor, Bagan and other countries respectively, and he personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to respond.
The war spread quickly.
The military strength of Dali is strong, and these countries are naturally difficult to resist.
The first to be destroyed was the Lancang Kingdom, Zhu Danchen's army used the advantages of bows and crossbows, the sharpness of steel swords, and the strong combat effectiveness of the sergeants, and rushed wildly all the way.
This hellish place, and the elephant army, this thing looks quite scary, but with wisdom, it's absolutely fine.
The Dali army attacked with fire and soon defeated the elephant army of the Lancang Kingdom.
It only took three months for the Lancang Kingdom to fall.
Its territory was divided into two, with Lancang Prefecture and Vientiane Prefecture ruled separately.
Officials were also quickly sent over and began to implement the policies of Dali.
At the same time, 1 million immigrants entered two states and lived together with the aborigines.
The geographical conditions of this Lancang Kingdom are not good, there are too many mountains, and the forest area is very large.
However, immigrants brought with them advanced agricultural production techniques, as well as mining techniques.
Agriculture and mining are also two future development industries, and the others have no prospects for the time being, after all, the current level of science and technology is not high.
Once agriculture and mining are developed, they can drive the living standards of the people, and then promote the development of science and technology.
Because of the good policy, the aborigines have no resistance, and the land is distributed to ordinary people and tax-free for three years, which is great.
However, it is still necessary to serve, after all, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and you must mobilize ordinary people to build roads.
According to Li Yifei's instructions, Zhu Danchen began to vigorously build roads, bridges, water conservancy facilities, and so on, and strived to connect the territory of Dali as soon as possible.
.........
Another group of people, under the leadership of Fu Sigui, went straight to the Bagan Kingdom.
In the same way, under the swift blow, the kingdom of Bagan also perished quickly, and in terms of force, they were indeed no opponent.
Fu Sigui used a lot of fire attack tactics to burn various cities in the Bagan Kingdom to char.
This guy is also good at digging tunnels, and when he encounters a city that is not easy to attack, he uses tunnel warfare to send troops into the city from the tunnel, and the inside and outside should be combined to break through the city.
The population of the Bagan Kingdom is somewhat larger than that of the Lancang Kingdom, and it is also a little more aggressive.
So, the policy here is a little bloodier.
but everyone who does not obey is killed.
More people were taken to build roads and mines.
The officials were completely replaced by people from Dali, and there were 3 million immigrants, and soon all parts of Bagan were occupied and large-scale development began.
At the same time, there was a great deal of intermarriage, and many of the local women were assigned to the new immigrants, so as to merge and form a new population clamp.
Once a woman marries and has children, can she still resist?
No!
Gradually, the policy was put in place, and after three months, all the revolts had subsided.
Near the seaside, Fu Sigui ordered craftsmen to build ships, using local materials to build large ships.
Now that there is a sea route, it will definitely be used.
If you control the sea lanes, you will be able to control the entire Indochina Peninsula when the time comes, and you will be more handy.
Of course, without ten or eight years, it is definitely impossible to develop and connect with Dali.
........
Gu Ducheng's army went straight to Angkor, and the road was much harder, crossing mountains and mountains, and it was really difficult to march.
However, the army carried a lot of craftsmen, along the way encountered mountains and mountains, encountered rivers and bridges, and it took half a year to invade the territory of Angkor.
Once inside the territory of Angkor, the Angkor people could not resist.
The Angkor people are not weak in force, and their civilization is quite high.
Their resistance was much fiercer than that of the other two.
Gu Ducheng's army was resisted step by step, and the progress was relatively difficult.
Even suffered a few defeats, and after a period of stalemate, the Dali army fully occupied the advantage and carried out the clearance operation.
But in the event of resistance, all the cities were slaughtered, and such a brutal siege battle made the morale of the soldiers in other places gradually shake, and some people began to surrender.
At this time, Fu Sigui also sent troops to help, he pacified Bagan earlier, and now he can free up tens of thousands of people to help Gu Ducheng's army.
The two-way attack, this moment, the Angkor army was completely unable to resist.
A year later, the army broke through Angkor Thom, and the Angkor dynasty was completely destroyed!
The prosperity and wealth of Angkor City made the Dali army very excited.
After the occupation, despite strict military discipline, looting did not happen.
Desperately fighting to enter Angkor Thom, who doesn't want to get some gold and silver wealth?
On the one hand, Gu Ducheng rectified the armament, and on the other hand, he sent people to deliver letters, asking the country to send officials to deal with it.
........
The last army, led by Chu Wanli, also launched a full-scale attack on Annam.
The Annan people, who were defeated in the domestic battle, quickly decayed under the crazy attack of the Dali army.
Li Yifei also led the army to follow up, expand the results of the battle, and gain a firm foothold.
The importance of Annan is what Li Yifei values the most.
It can become an important agricultural production area, the climate is good, the rice is three crops a year, and if it is done well, the future agriculture of Dali will depend on here.
While occupying, migrating and quickly occupying the territory.
The aborigines were all sent to Dali, so that they had no foundation and could only obey the arrangements of the imperial court.
Those who are disobedient will all go to mining.
Li Yifei also encountered the assassination of some Annan martial arts people, and these martial arts people are not low in martial arts.
It's just that in the face of Li Yifei, naturally there is not enough to see, and they are all sniped.
Those forests were also cut down to remove the miasma, and the ashes of the plants and trees after burning became a good fertilizer, and after cooling, the land could be cultivated and crops could be planted.
Because this is the place where the most attention is paid, the progress here is the slowest.
It's just that the changes in the occupied territories will also be very obvious.
With a calm arrangement, the construction of the occupied areas progressed rapidly, the construction of houses rose rapidly, the farmland was quickly sorted out, crops were planted, and market towns sprang up with it.
The follow-up immigrants were very happy to come here, and as soon as they came, they could get a lot of land, each with hundreds of acres, enough to become a big landlord.
Moreover, it is also to allocate a large number of Annam women to them, in addition to farming, but also to reproduce the population and integrate the locals.
Although there were occasional emergencies, on the whole, the occupation of Annan proceeded in a step-by-step manner.
The impact of this war is still very obvious, and the expansion of small countries is indeed full of troubles.
This can only be endured.,Wait for more than ten years.,These places will completely become the territory of Dali.,Then you can have good fruits to eat.。。
Li Yifei knows very well that in order to complete the task, this kind of thing must be done.
Occupy the Indochina Peninsula, the future will be brighter, 30 million square kilometers of land area, is not a dream, once there is a backing, the development of the navy, let alone 30 million, is to occupy the entire earth.
