Chapter 482 The demise of Tubo

Yang Feng's army almost wiped out the Three Kingdoms coalition forces of the North Indian Kingdom in Qunnu City. Not only was Qu Polo I burned the bones, but the main force of the entire Three Kingdoms army turned into the Ganges floating corpse.

Then North India became his hunting ground.

In the next four months, his army collected protection fees from cities to cities, forcing those officials to pay for money and food or even women. Whoever dared not pay his army would slaughter the city, and swept the city like locusts all the way eastward. When he arrived at the city of Fahrenheit in the early summer of the second year of Qianyuan, the army led by He Luguang and Li Gao were already waiting for him here. They took a boat along the Ganges River. At this time, the estuary of the lower reaches of the Ganges River was not in modern Bangladesh, but in Kolkata, the area of ​​the Pajileti River where the Tang army landed. The main harbor was Danmolidi, less than 100 kilometers west of Kolkata. In fact, the Ganges River is very similar to China's Yellow River, and the estuary is always uncertain within the entire Ganges Delta.

Of course, Li Gao did not drive his blessed ship and bird boat directly to Fahrenheit City. The Ganges channel is not that deep. Those bird boats may be able to drive over during the flood season, but blessed ships are impossible no matter what.

He was a local ship that he had collected by force.

There are ships on the Ganges, which are nothing more than sending troops to capture them. In addition, they also take out part of the income from the robbery of the Indian nobles and hire them. Ordinary people don’t care about invaders or invaders. They certainly don’t care about serving the invaders if they have money to make money. Li Gao and the others not only hired a large number of Indians to transport them, but also hired them to build cities and ports for the Tang army in Kolkata. The Tang army soldiers drove to Indian cities like Yang Feng to collect protection fees one by one...

Everyone must understand this kind of thing.

In short, the east and west armies completed the meeting under the city of Fahrenheit, and then Damopolo led the princes and ministers to come out to surrender tremblingly.

Yang Feng accepted his surrender.

Of course, the Polo Kingdom would provide them with food and wages, organize people to transport food and grass, and ced the Tang Dynasty in the Kolkata area, and then ced the city of Pennvatanna in the north, which had been annexed by it to the Tang Dynasty. This city is next to a tributary of the Bramaputra River. It is a major transportation route to the Ganges basin in the upper reaches of the Bramaputra River. It is not far from the Siliguri Corridor, the mountain pass to the east of Asia, and is very suitable as a starting point for attack. The water transport routes of the Ganges and Bramaputra Rivers are also enough to support the logistics of the army.

Of course, Damopolo dared not refuse. At this time, Yang Feng destroyed him only in one sentence. In this way, the Polo Kingdom officially became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang army could move freely within its territory and could also recruit troops and grain if needed.

Of course, they also had to go to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute.

In the end, the Tang Dynasty took the first step to colonize India. Under the leadership of Yang Feng, the Tang Dynasty East India Company was officially established. According to the previous distribution of interests, 55% of the equity was handed over to He Luguang and returned to Lingnan and raised it. Yang Feng, Li Gao, Zhang Guangsheng, who represented Gao Xianzhi, was divided into 15% each. After returning, how to distribute it within the Western Regions, Fujian, Zhejiang and Annan groups was his own business. In short, to the west of Longyamen, the trading rights of the Lion Kingdom, that is, to the east of Sri Lanka, belonged to the East India Company, and this line was to Yang Feng. He planned to open another West India Company. With the Southeast Asia controlled by Gao Xianzhi and the northern countries controlled by Li Gao, the four companies divided the entire maritime trade rights.

This will avoid internal conflicts, and the trade colonies within their respective scope are responsible for each other, and can also act together when necessary.

Yang Feng rested in Fahrenheit City for two months.

During this period, he and the Immortal also took a fairy-like posture to visit the city of Raksha, Lingjiu Mountain, Wild Deer Garden, Nalanda Temple, Chaojie Temple and other places, and had academic exchanges with the masters of Tantric Buddhism, or to show miracles, so that the common people could see who is the true god, who possessed divine power and the Immortal who was obviously not a mortal, or those dirty masters who could press the death with just one finger.

In short, he went to the door to slap in the face, especially in Nalanda Temple. He even summoned countless fish and shrimps to flow from the sky.

This includes a whale.

Poor master was unable to dodge and was actually killed by this little gray whale.

Just as he ran to show off his face, his army headed north to Nafatanna and completed all preparations to enter Tubo. In August of this year, King Yang led a 30,000 servant army, one man and three horses, and went north to cross the Himalayas. After opening the mountain pass defense in one battle, it took only five days to raid to Luoshe. The main force was all Tubo people confronting the Tang army in Longyou and Hexi. They did not expect that the Tang army would raid from the south. Although the small number of Tubo troops who stayed at Luoshe fought bloody battles, their strength was too different. They were captured by the army led by Yang Feng in one battle, and all members of the Tubo royal family, including Zanpu, were captured by him. The entire Luoshe was burned by him. Moreover, all men, women, young and old, were captured in the city, and then they strung together with ropes and quickly evacuated back to India.

Two months later, the main force of the Tubo army withdrew from the north was nearly 50,000, and as he guessed, he broke out of the plateau.

Yang Feng used to torture the Tubo prisoners as bait to lure them to go south. In the end, the two sides launched a decisive battle under the city of Fengnafatanna. Although Yang Feng did not summon any meteor fire rain, the Tubo army was easily defeated by him personally leading the cavalry in charge. He was then surrounded and beaten by a total of 150,000 cavalry and infantry armies, including the recruited Tianzhu army. The Annan infantry led by Zhang Guangsheng blocked the Yadong Mountain Pass, and the 50,000 elite Tubo army troops were wiped out in India.

Then Yang Feng led the cavalry north to the plateau again and began a comprehensive sweep. All Tubo people, regardless of gender, were captured, and the entire plateau was cleared to the greatest extent. Livestock could be taken away, and those who could not be taken away were bleeding on the spot, and crops were burned or horses were trampled on, and the entire plateau was wiped out.

At this point, Tubo was destroyed.

Although there are some Tubo tribes in Kangsang and Xiangxiong, Qinghai-Tibet, the country of Tubo no longer exists, and the population on the plateau has almost lost more than half. With the population growth rate of this era and the harsh environment there, it is estimated that no more noticeable forces will rise there within a hundred years. In fact, it is a miracle to have power rise there. If such a miracle can be repeated again, it would be a ripe dog.

Yang Feng did not stay in the army there.

First, no one is willing to stay in such a ghost place for a long time, and second, it is extremely easy to produce warlords. Yang Feng did not want to send a general of the Tang Dynasty and bring modern civilization there, then integrate the remaining forces and create a new Tubo again.

So just leave it alone.

In short, his battle in Tubo ended successfully.

Then he left three thousand Tang troops in Kolkata, and two thousand behind Fengna. At the same time, he recruited another ten thousand Ah San to form the Tang Indian Army, with the Tang army acting as officers, giving them sufficient military salary and excellent equipment. As a servant of the Tang army, as for the Tang army stationed in India, this was naturally derived from the Lingnan Army. In the future, this would be the colonial stronghold of the gentry of the Lingnan. The wealth of the East India Company will begin to flow into their pockets from here. Naturally, they would send troops to garrison. In addition, they would maintain a navy and inland fleet here. Therefore, the spectacular scene of the Tang Dynasty's car and ship sailing in the Ganges as Yang Feng had imagined.

As for all the bird ships in the Navy, just leave fifty bird ships here, and recruit some of the San as sailors, which is actually the armed merchant ships.

Of course, this was proposed by Yang Feng.

This place is not his, so he doesn't have to worry too much. The gold jewelry that was plundered in India during this expedition, especially the pearls that are specialized in Bangladesh, had already made He Luguang smile on his face. He already knew that there was a place in southern India that produced a large number of gems, not to mention that there were countless elephants and rhinos that could collect ivory rhinoceros. In addition, this place was the main source of cotton cloth, all of which could bring continuous income to the Lingnan Army. Of course, such places must be controlled.

It's not just India.

Taking Kolkata as a base, the northeast to the Gamole Wave and southwest to the Lion Kingdom are all within the radiation range of this stronghold.

After all, interests are the most important.

That's all. For Yang Feng, the layout of the Indian Ocean is completed, but he has to drive away the great cannibals in the Sindh area and occupy it. Sindh is Karachi. The expansion of the great food into India began. Yang Feng wanted to control the Western Indian Ocean, so that it was the best stronghold. He had actually controlled the trade routes from the river through Tochar and Gaofu, so that the industrial products in the river can be transported south to Karachi and then transported to various parts of the Indian Ocean from there. In the future, merchant ships from the Black Sea can monopolize the trade routes between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic coast for him, and even grab a colony in the Mediterranean, such as a larger island, and use this colony as a base to open a route to the Americas. After all, it is much closer.

In this way, the Han people continued to expand westward.

Such things must be tempted by interests.

When he gained a steady stream of wealth through Western trade in the river, he would definitely induce the Han people in the East to continue to go west to his men to pursue wealth together. Western Europe might not bring too much income and at most it would catch some white slaves. However, after the transatlantic American route was established, the gold and gems of the Mayan Empire, which was its heyday, would definitely cause madness.

The ten thousand horses of the Hezhong Army saved the Central Plains, and through some habits, soldiers who used to buy things with silver coins or even gold coins, told the mainland people how wealthy the Western Regions were. Many of the immigrants brought back by Yang Feng were lured by this.
