Sun Xing's statement that Nan Tianzhu was destroyed is not too correct!

Strictly speaking, they united with Pandia, a vassal state of Nantianzhu that had not dealt well with Nantianzhu before, to send troops together, and took advantage of the fact that all the main forces of Nantianzhu were now concentrated on the northern border to fight with the people of Chalouqi, and captured the capital of Nantianzhu in one go.

In ancient times, as long as the enemy's capital was captured, it was considered a country to be destroyed, so although the king of Nantianzhu, the corpse of the Sangha Bao Tazhima, successfully escaped before the fall of the city, in the eyes of many countries in the West, Nantianzhu has been destroyed once.

This time Nantianzhu's losses were incomparable, and although the Xia army made up a small part of the army that attacked jointly with Pandia, it dominated the capture of the city and the subsequent raids.

It was the soldiers of the Yizhou Garrison Division led by Shang Shengmao who attacked Oulai Yuer City together with Pandia by land, and the Mingzhugang Garrison Battalion led by Shen Buqi, especially the soldiers of the Yizhou Garrison Division who hated Nan Tianzhu very much because of the death of Huang Sheng, the captain of the third battalion.

Stimulated by this emotion, they gave full play to the advanced experience of the Xia army in plundering everywhere over the years, and simply demolished a good and decent national capital, not only the royal family, palaces, and warehouses in the city were all looted.

They then washed all the rich people in the city, and finally even the temple of Shiva, Brahman, and Shibinu in the city were looted, and many of the towers were bulldozed in order to remove the precious stones and gold buried in some of the temple's towers.

When the Pandians saw this, even these Pandian troops, who had always prided themselves on being good at looting, were dumbfounded, originally these Pandians also believed in Shiva, and they did not expect that the Xia people would dare to do such a blasphemous thing.

In the end, it was the Pandian generals who came forward, and after some persuasion, Shang Shengmao and Shen Buqi completely dispelled the idea of continuing to scrape other temples, otherwise with the wealth of these temples, they would not be willing to just give up.

The capture of the city by the Xia and Pandian armies and the complete purge were secondary, but the main blow came from other sources.

Originally, Nantianzhu has always been a sea power in the West, and because of the superiority of their geographical location, since the Han Dynasty, almost half of the trade volume in the maritime trade between the East and the West is in the hands of Nantianzhu merchants.

Although the Persians have also continued to meddle in maritime trade over the years, it has had a certain impact on the interests of the maritime merchants of Southern Tianzhu, but this still cannot shake the hegemony of the maritime trade of the Southern Tianzhu maritime merchants.

However, after the Battle of the Pearl Islands, due to the annihilation of most of the nation's naval forces sent by Nantianzhu, although there was still a small number of naval forces in Nantianzhu, the control of the sea routes in the Western Ocean was no longer firm after the loss of most of the troops, which led to a sharp decline in Nantianzhu's voice in maritime trade.

Along with the decline of trade discourse, the maritime merchants of Nantianzhu have almost completely lost the ability to trade with the East due to the blockade of the Xia army and the losses in the war, not to mention that even if they can break through Sun Xing's blockade of the sea route, they will not be able to pass through Temasek's choke point.

After losing the maritime trade with the East, the Southern Tianzhu maritime merchants can only run the coastal trade in the Persian, Eastern Tianzhu and Xindu River basins, but their share of the Western maritime trade is shrinking sharply, which has led to the further deterioration of the already somewhat tight finances of the Southern Tianzhu.

The deterioration of the financial amount has a great impact on the stability of a country, and the end of the Ming Dynasty is actually the turmoil caused by financial problems.

The strength of the Chaloqi people has been increasing in the past two years, and Nan Tianzhu had to be full of spirit when he fought with them before, but at this time, because of the internal financial problems, and the southern part of the city was constantly captured by the Pandians, so the northern army was also panicked.

In this way, there were Shalou people in the north of Nantianzhu who were constantly fighting with them, and Sun Xing and He Liang in the south instigated Pandia to send troops through Prince Pandia Daravilu, and first easily captured more than ten cities in the south of Nantianzhu, and then did not wait for Nantianzhu to react and was captured its capital.

In addition to the north and south sides of the enemy, Nantianzhu and because the east and west sides are close to the sea, so Sun Xing, who is not willing to be lonely, also continued to attack the major coastal port cities of South Tianzhu by sea, although some maritime merchants from various countries expressed dissatisfaction with this, but when Sun Xing encouraged these maritime merchants to participate in the looting, there was no one to object.

Anyway, in the future, if Nan Tianzhu wants to take revenge, he will also seek revenge on these Han people who led the robbery, and these maritime merchants from various countries feel that they fled immediately after the robbery, and who can know that they are actually involved in this large-scale robbery in the future? 56

Now there is no room for relaxation between Xia and Nan Tianzhu, Sun Xing gritted his teeth and simply let Nan Tianzhu completely decline, so that there is a strong enemy in the north to attack and disturb, and there are strong Pandians in the south against Nan Tianzhu, and the prestige of Xia in the West will be established in the future.

After so many enemy attacks, even if the king of Nantianzhu was the corpse of the Sangha Bao Tatemo, it would be impossible for him to think about the defeat again, he never thought that it was originally just a matter of some businessmen for their own interests, but now it has evolved like this.

First of all, when the main army in the north secretly retreated at night, it was discovered in advance by the Lou Qi people, and as a result, the Nan Tianzhu army was killed by the Sha Lou Qi people when they retreated, and suffered heavy losses, losing 20,000 or 30,000 troops.

Although most of the army was withdrawn intact, these people began to have a fear of the Chalouqi people, and from then on, Nan Tianzhu no longer had the ability to compete with the Chalouqi people for the Lapchite River Valley.

After the disastrous defeat in the north, the south was unfavorable because of the premeditated planning of the Pandians, and the Pandians used a large number of weapons purchased from the East China Sea to arm tens of thousands of troops, although these armies were not too strong in combat, but because of the excellent weapons, Nan Tianzhu, who had a gap in the southern forces, suffered a lot.

However, after all, Nan Tianzhu is an old power in the West, even if he has suffered so many defeats, but after a period of strategic contraction, he abandoned nearly half of the land that is not easy to hold, and re-stabilized his remaining half of the territory, but because of the previous failure, Nan Tianzhu no longer has the prestige of the past.

After the Pandia people seized a large amount of land in Nantianzhu, they became more and more ambitious, and after the offensive against Nantianzhu slowed down, they turned their forces and went straight to attack their neighbor Zheluo State, and then in just one month, they destroyed the Zheluo State, which was not too weak.

Of course, the Pandians were able to wipe out the Zheluo Kingdom thanks to the support of the Xia people, in Sun Xing's view, even if Nantianzhu is now crumbling under the attack from all sides, but they are still not comparable to the Pandians with strong national strength.

Supporting Pandia in a short period of time is a favorable condition for containing Nantianzhu, so that after Pandia's national strength gradually becomes stronger in the future, the strength of his side in the Western Ocean is not comparable to that now.

Although the kingdom of Zheluo was destroyed by Pandia in just over a month, their spirit still made Sun Xing very emotional, the king of Zheluo would rather die than retreat and finally die in the city, and the prince of Zheluo successfully fled to Nantianzhu.

However, Sun Xing valued not anything else, but the superior port in the land of Zheluo, as well as a large area of barren land, and he asked the Pandia people for the land that the Pandia had promised before, to build the Xia people's own port city.

The Pandians also like the fertile land of the Jerra country very much, and they wanted to break their promise at first, but they were very jealous of the strong combat effectiveness of the Xia army after all, and after being reminded by the prince of Dravilu, the Pendians finally agreed to give a small port to the Xia country that originally belonged to the north of the Dhara country.

The area of this land is not too large, and it is not the southernmost point of the South Tianzhu Peninsula, but because the port is west of the famous Arabian Gulf, and the east is close to the Western Ghats in the west of the Deccan Plateau, so the geographical location is quite good.

In addition, the area of this land is not large compared with several other territories in Nanyang, in fact, this land is still thousands of square kilometers, especially nearly 100 miles long from north to south, but because of the influence of the east mountain range, the east and west direction is only more than 20 miles wide is a tall mountain range.

Sun Xing explained in his letter to Wang Ze that although this is not the southernmost tip of the South Tianzhu Peninsula, it is very conducive to its own defense because of its geographical location, and the surrounding land is also extremely fertile for growing rice and wheat.

And what Sun Xing values more is that there is a large archipelago within a few hundred miles to the west of this just named Dingrong Port, although the area of this island later known as the Lakshadweep Islands is not too large, but it is extremely important for the Xia State to control the sea power of the Western Ocean, once they control this island, even the Persians dare not say anything to themselves in the future.

Seeing this, Wang Ze had to express his satisfaction with the results achieved by Sun Xing and others this time, compared with the past few years, this year's Xia Guo's strategic achievements in the West are simply a great leap forward.

From now on, the Xia Kingdom can be regarded as truly controlling the trade routes to the West, but it will take a lot of time to completely open the passage to the Roman Empire.

When Wang Ze read Sun Xing's letter, he found that He Liang also wrote a letter, at this time Wang Ze couldn't help muttering, will it not take long to write one copy of the report, why do you have to write two copies, but Wang Ze was also taken aback after opening He Liang's letter.

It turned out that the things written in He Liang's letters were not the same thing as the things written by Sun Xing, and the things He Liang said were exactly the things of the Roman Empire that Wang Ze had just passed in his mind.
