Chapter 118: The Khmer Situation

Brahma made this whole thing, he has also converged a lot recently, he also thought a lot about this defeat, about why he was defeated so quickly this time, he also reflected, it is true that the strength of the Cham people is indeed extremely strong, but it was captured to the capital in a month, this really shouldn't be, take Angkor Thanh as an example, if everyone works together to resist, he is confident that he can resist Maya Kuiyu for a few more months, the walls of Khmer City are high and thick, although the power of those cannons is extremely powerful, However, in order to penetrate the extremely heavy city walls, tens of thousands of shells are needed, and a high number of shells will also bring a lot of burden to military spending.

Whether in terms of military expenditure calculation or other aspects, Ma Yakuiyu will most likely not adopt the method of strong attack, if he can save a large amount of military expenses by bribing the defenders or persuading them to surrender, it will naturally be better. If it doesn't work well, they will pass through the siege for a long time, wait until all the supplies in the city are exhausted, and when they can't bear it anymore, they will naturally surrender.

Brahma did not attribute the fault to himself, he thought that the officials in various places were too cowardly and did not have the determination to defend the places, and then the city lords directly appointed by him in various places were also abolished by him, after all, their performance in this war was really unsatisfactory, so Brahma abolished them, appointed them as the imperial historians of various places, and used them to check the officials for him, and the city lord activated the city lords who were originally abolished, except for the members of the prosecution office, they could not move, The rest of the staff was approved and allowed to be formed by the city lord.

Then in order to be able to repay the money of the Champa, Brahma further adjusted the tax, Brahma also knew that ordinary farmers did not have so much money in their hands, so the adjustment of the tax was exercised for the landlords, and the landlords' taxes were increased to 60%, but they were afraid that the landlords would oppose it, and the Brahma also fed them a date, that is, increased the decentralization of power and gold power, and appropriately increased the power of the landlords. At the same time, he also weakened the privileges of the nobility, which had been exempted from taxation by Brahmaram, and he did not dare to set the tax of the nobles too high, initially set at 10%. In order to prevent the nobles from paying the money, Brahma said that the 10% of the money was used to maintain the nobility, and those who did not pay would be abolished.

As soon as the policy came to power, everyone naturally expressed their dissatisfaction, especially the aristocracy, although the landlords were taxed more, but they did not get nothing, they got a part of the power, so although there were complaints, but not much. The aristocracy had to pay money again, and their power was weakened, so they were naturally dissatisfied. Many of the older nobles also knew that the country was in trouble, so they assumed that this was the king's temporary method of settling the debt. They were not entirely unsympathetic, and the nobility spontaneously suppressed the protest movement.

Most of the Khmer areas were briefly managed by the Cham people, and they were very resistant at first, but then they found that the Cham people seemed to be good to them, they didn't squeeze them, they didn't burn and loot, and they also helped them resume production and flow, and after a while, people found that life was good, but then the Cham people left, and the Brahmarama regained control over the place, and their original life began again.

So everyone complained to each other, talking about the good of the Cham Po, of course, they just complained and complained, until they couldn't live, they would not betray the country. But after all, everyone's complaints still reached the ears of Brahmara, and Brahmara's face turned blue and white after knowing it, and his character naturally could not tolerate others talking about him at will, so the Khmer set up a new department, similar to the Jinyiwei kind of organization dedicated to collecting intelligence, used to reconnoiter the people everywhere, whoever chewed his tongue had to endure the pain of flesh and skin, and in serious cases, he would be imprisoned.

Hundreds of people were persecuted by this institution, and countless people were taken away to play boards, and now no one in the entire street dared to speak easily. Later, this institution and the Imperial Historian of Brahma were merged into one body to oversee the whole country, and now officials are afraid to speak easily.

So the second large-scale population defection began, the people in various places migrated on a large scale, the direction of migration is Kratie, Puriango two places, now the Pengyu is very difficult, he intends to turn the Khmer cultural area into a province, they border each other, naturally good merger, the key is the name, how to come up, whether to keep the name of Puriango, or another name, the places are on the merger of this matter.

After discussions among the localities, the local officials finally disagreed, saying that if they did not merge, they would take the resources of a province, and if they merged, they would distribute them by the province, and they might not get any benefits at all, so the two places were not merged.

Kratie's policy of population migration is very preferential, they are now a province in a place, so they must not develop quickly, but they occupy the resources of a province, and the number of population will directly affect the degree of development, and the officials of Kratie naturally know this truth, and in order to introduce the population, they have adopted a large-scale population migration plan. Officials in Kratie were so frustrated that they stopped people and sent them to Kratie by special car, and in the most serious cases, they went directly to the city governments of Zhuxi, Borenogo, and Heishui to rob them. Anyway, in the eyes of the people of Pliango Province, the people of Kratie are very bad, and it is unforgivable to go directly to them to rob people.

In response, the Priango government issued an anti-Kratie people proclamation, publicizing the Kratie people as heinous people, asking the people to do ideological work for those people, and even the police of the Public Security Department were dispatched in various places to prevent the Kratie people from stealing people. Of course, if you want to attract people, you have to have superior conditions, so Pliango has implemented a new immigration policy and given greater preferential treatment to immigrants.

Seeing these two places fighting each other, he chose to eat melons, you beat you, I am happy to eat melons. As a result, the Central Migration Bureau came over and intervened again, what did they choose them for? Choose me, choose me! A new world, a new hope. However, the Central Immigration Bureau was kicked out without intervening, and the Khmers apparently had little hope for the New World, preferring to live in Priango and Kratie, which were full of companions.

So the Central Immigration Bureau just entered the field and left in a hurry, and the game was over before it started, and the people who made the new continent laughed and laughed, and the population of the new continent has gradually decreased, and all parts of the country are approaching peace, and it is not easy to collect refugees.
