The scope of Funan is about the whole territory of Cambodia, Laos, southern Vietnam, and southeastern Thailand, and covers a large area.

Because of the special geographical location, the ethnic composition here is very complex at this time.

The local aborigines, the barbarian tribes who migrated from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Lingnan, and the ethnic groups who migrated from the direction of Tianzhu...... We all live together in this place.

Each ethnic group first lived separately as a tribal unit, and then gradually developed the concept of a state, but it has been in the stage of tribal union for hundreds of years.

The so-called king is whoever is strong and who does it, and often violently overthrows the previous king on the throne.

Since the establishment of Funan, almost every birth of the lord of the country has been accompanied by bloodshed, and it is rare to succeed smoothly.

In this kind of country, there are no such things as faith, etiquette, and civilization, and the big fist is the biggest system, and each tribe is a small independent kingdom.

Is this place important to the Tang Kingdom?

Very important.

Just look at the geographical location, the southern part of the Indochina Peninsula, the most fertile plain area, the kind of place where the legend says that God cooks the rice and stuffs it directly into the mouth.

Rice is harvested three times a year, and the seeds are scattered in the ground without any management, and when they are ripe, they can harvest 180 catties.

The Tang State was able to do grain trade unscrupulously, and the country's population expanded to one million in less than ten years, and it also had to develop Luzon Island and the Ryukyu Islands...... It depends on the rice of the Indochina Peninsula.

Otherwise, just by cultivating land on Dongning Island and growing food, it will not be enough to break a grain of rice into three portions to eat.

From this point of view, Funan is very important to them. Even in the future, when Wenyi dominates the world, the Indochina Peninsula will be the largest granary of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In addition, as a traverser, Wen Yi also knows that it has rich mineral resources, such as gold, copper, iron, and coal resources.

Although the trade between the Tang State and the various forces in the Indochina Peninsula was almost predatory, for example, a jar of sugar could be exchanged for several tons of rice, and a glass was half a boatload of rice......

But after all, this land is not in your own hands, and it is always risky. If you have the opportunity, it's best to settle down.

It will not be easy to occupy this place, and do not underestimate the resilience of these primitive indigenous tribes, who consume the most powerful armies and even drag down the dynasty.

And there is no need to go into too much detail about how terrifying the rainforests of Indochina are.

If you want to take this place, you must operate slowly, assimilate them little by little, and when the time is ripe, you will take advantage of the situation to bring them into the system.

This layout may take three or five years, or ten or eight years, or even longer, and it is necessary to lay out in advance.

Now that the Tang State has completed the occupation of Luzon Island, the plan on the Unu Island side has also been launched, and the follow-up only needs to be done step by step.

In fact, there is nothing big to do next, just enough to spare energy to manage the Indochina Peninsula, and by the way, Hainan Island will also be well built.

Thinking of this, he called Zhao Zhengzhi over, and to make a perfect plan, he also needed the intelligence cooperation of the Wei Wei Division.

Zhao Zhengzhi was also very interested after hearing about this plan, and took out a lot of information:

"There are many tribes in the Indochina Peninsula, and there are many countries, and the land of a hundred miles may be a country, and the largest country is the Linyi country and the Funan country that we are familiar with."

"There are also several noteworthy countries in the southwest and northwest of Funan, such as Jinling, Linyang, Dunxun, and Bi, ......"

According to the map, Wenyi estimated that the neighboring countries of Jinjin were in Thailand in the previous life, and most of the other countries were in Myanmar or Cambodia.

There are dozens of countries and forces in the big place, and it seems that the situation here is much more chaotic than imagined.

"Other countries and tribes don't care about it first, and they only have some confidence in Funan."

Chen Xiu also looked at him nervously, for fear that he would say something like hopeless.

Zhao Zhengzhi frowned and thought for a long time before slowly giving the answer: "It is okay to forcibly send troops, but it will arouse the vigilance and hostility of all countries in the entire Indochina Peninsula, which is not conducive to future development." ”

"If you use Huairou means and slowly absorb and assimilate, I think you are seventy percent sure."

Chen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Yi also laughed, sometimes seventy percent sure and ten percent mean the same thing.

"Okay, then you cooperate with Chen Shilang to make a strategy plan for Funanguo."

Zhao Zhengzhi said: "Yes." ”

Then the two left the Hall of Bright Lights together, but it didn't take long for Zhao Zhengzhi to return alone.

Wen Yi knew that something big was happening and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi's expression was grim and said, "About Lin Hong." ”

Wen Yi's expression also became solemn, and he said, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi said: "The information I sent to his side was sent by Xizuo, and he privately sold the information to other forces to make a profit. ”

Wen Yi suddenly changed color: "He sold the intelligence of the Tang Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi shook his head and said: "Not yet, but in the past six months, he has been in frequent contact with powerful and powerful, and he has raised a concubine from us, and that concubine also gave birth to a son." ”

Lin Hong already had three concubines outside, but he didn't expect to hide one secretly and give birth to a son.

This is leaving a way out for yourself.

When it comes to the critical moment, it is estimated that he will not hesitate to abandon his family on Dongning Island and take the concubine and son away to fly away.

But these are all speculations, at least for now, he hasn't done anything to betray Tang Guo.

Wen Yi's face softened slightly: "Before he has made a big mistake, let him come back, are you sure to get him back?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi sneered: "His every move is in my hands, and trying to pinch him is just a matter of catching him." ”

Wen Yi said: "That's good, if he comes back honestly, he will be promoted to the deputy commander of the Weiwei Division, if he doesn't want to come back honestly...... Try to bring him back alive as much as possible. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "Intelligence work lives in the shadows, and all it comes into contact with is the dark side, which is easy to be corroded. ”

"It is I who have selfishly put you in the pit of fire, and I am obligated to preserve you...... We can't let good beginnings and good ends become empty words. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi said excitedly: "There is a king, and the ministers are willing to die even if they die, but Lin Hong's own will is not strong enough and is corrupted, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Wen Yi shook his head and said: "Not everyone can resist the temptation, and when you choose a fine work in the future, you must find the kind of person who is determined and believes in the idea of "Rights and Rules". ”

"Only a just cause and unswerving faith can resist all kinds of corrosive temptations."

Zhao Zhengzhi said: "Yes, from now on, all the people of the Weiwei Division must learn the "Rights and Rules". ”

Wen Yi said: "You see that you have corrected yourself again, not forcing them to learn, you can't learn any essence by studying hard." ”

"Only by experiencing empathy first-hand can we truly understand this kind of thinking and support it from the heart. Your political work is too poor, and you should consult Gu Yi more about this. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi said ashamedly: "Yes, I will go down to ask Gu Shangshu for advice." ”

Wen Yi asked again: "Lin Hong is transferred back, and he needs someone to go over there to preside over the overall situation, what suitable candidate do you have?" ”
