1483 The Importance of Indochina

Previous Chapter

In fact, many people in the imperial court are also wondering, Li Xiang has been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and in terms of the land he attacked, I don't know how many times that of several countries in South Asia, but why does Li Xiang attach so much importance to this place?

They are limited by the limitations of this era, and they don't know much about the surrounding situation, so they don't know what Li Xiang wants to do, but Li Xiang himself is very clear.

First of all, it has expanded China's access to the sea, which can allow our country to have a wider access to the sea, and secondly, it has reduced the disputes in the southern seas, so as not to involve so much of our energy, and finally the grain production here, no matter how big the land in the north is, it can be achieved in two years and three crops, which is already quite not easy, but here it can do three crops in a year, and the productivity has at least doubled.

And this area is very rich in all kinds of fruits, once it is transported back to the north, it will also play a high role in stimulating the economy, after the road is repaired, the common people begin to form a variety of caravans, which can solve the employment problem of many people at once, and then enrich the economy of the entire Tang Dynasty, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but Li Xiang has long considered it.

Of course, the most important thing is to use this area as a backing for attacking Tianzhu State, because of the Himalayas, our country and Tianzhu Country have no way to fight on the plateau, not to mention that although the Tibetan side is weak, it has not lost the country, so it is not suitable to fight there.

After taking the countries of South Asia, we can spend two or three years to build military camps and training camps here, so that the local people can become our servant army, and when we attack the Tianzhu country, these people can also help on the road, which is the most important thing.

In the 21st century, Li Xiang can't look down on the land of Tianzhu Kingdom, even if he takes it, he is worried that there are all kinds of germs in it, but it is different in this era, that land is still very beautiful, especially the plains that run through the South Asian subcontinent, which is extremely important to our country.

It would be too friendly for our country to build such a large empire that borders two oceans at the same time, and it will be able to remain undefeated no matter how defeated future generations may be.

In other countries, there can be ethnic divisions, but because of the unification of Qin Shi Huang, our country is thinking of unifying the world, and if you don't want to unify the world, especially the place where the Han people live, including your staff, you may say that a sentence is not enough.

Therefore, looking at all dynasties and generations, as long as Emperor Taizu is the emperor, he will basically want to unify the whole country, and Li Xiang laid such a large territory for them in advance, and he also set up a bureaucracy himself, which means that we once actually controlled this place.

With this thought, there is no need to be afraid of the change of dynasties of future generations, no matter who sits in that position, they all want to realize Li Xiang's glory today, Li Xiang is like a bright light in the sky, guiding them to the current territory, if you can't meet Li Xiang's standard, then your dynasty may not be remembered, in the end I am afraid it will be a passing dynasty, I believe that any emperor will not do this.

Datang Barracks.

"Your Highness, we have informed the leaders of more than thirty city-states that they are all on the way, and no one dares to disobey our orders."

At this moment, Li Xiang has moved the camp to the vicinity of today's Chiang Mai, which is also the core of the entire South Asian region, if nothing goes wrong, a series of institutions will be set up here in the future, which is also to better control the South Asian region.

As for the original land in Vietnam, let's leave the Fusang and Goguryeo people there first, they are very good at cleaning up that land, there are too many rebels in that land, Li Xiang stayed there for a few days, and directly encountered several assassinations, so for Li Xiang's safety, and for those Fusang people to do things better, Li Xiang led a large number of Tang troops to leave there.

It is said that on the night of Li Xiang's departure, the Fusang people began to kill the Vietnamese villages, and they couldn't control so much, if they wanted to kill the rebels here in a short time, they had to let all the people see the blood, otherwise how could they know what it meant to be afraid?

For this way of doing things of the Fusang people, if Mr. Daoxue sees it, I am afraid that even their ancestors will be scolded for eight generations, but the people in the Tang army have experienced the cruelty on the battlefield, so for the Fusang people's way of doing things, they think this is a very normal thing, if you don't do it, then I'm afraid you will be dealt with.

"These leaders in various places are still giving face, if they can be carried out properly, we will have preferential treatment, this year must be accompanied by grace and power, if it is just to make people afraid, then our local rule can not be checked, look at those Tusi territories in Sichuan, we use it quite well."

Li Xiang remembered the four major Tusi in Sichuan, although there are still two of them with rights, and the rest are just ordinary people, but the local people do not show much rebellion, and many people are still fighting with the Tang army, and they are already qualified Tang soldiers at this moment.

Now no one mentions the original Tusi territory, and when they talk about their hometown, they will talk about Datang Sichuan Road.

This is also a very normal thing, all people tend to follow the strong, although they have fought with the Tang Dynasty, but His Royal Highness Taisun also said, let's build a purely internal matter, and when it is all over, you are all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the guys abroad are completely different, if they want to become the people of the Tang Dynasty, wait for two more generations.

It is precisely because of Li Xiang's words that the army under the Tusi masters fought bravely, and because of that sentence of the people of the Tang Dynasty, they also had to let the Tang Dynasty court see, we people are also capable, and not only specialize in eating national relief grain, but on the real battlefield, we can also carry back the glory for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness is right, at present, in the battle sequence of our whole army, the army of the former local master has exceeded 17,000 people, which is a large proportion, and their combat strength is also very strong, and their individual combat ability is stronger than our soldiers in Chang'an......"
