Ever since Li Yongxuan led an army of 200,000 people to leave Lin'an to conquer Annan, some people in the Song Dynasty couldn't help but jump out and want to be evil.

The Emperor of Song Dynasty did not want to be ignored and treated as a puppet, especially after he knew that Concubine Yan Guifei was pregnant.

There are some pedantic and loyal ministers in the court who do not want powerful officials to control the government.

There are also some people who have ulterior motives.

When they saw Li Yongxuan leading his army to conquer Annan, their originally silent thoughts became active.

Although Li Yongxuan had a high prestige in the Song army and did not use the Lin'an garrison and reorganized the garrisons in various places, as long as he stayed away from Lin'an, it would be a great opportunity for the court to bring order to the chaos.

The first half of the month was calm and everything was as usual.

In the second half of the month, the storm gradually arose, and the rapids and undercurrents...

People in the court who wanted to cause trouble were worried that Li Yongxuan would get the news halfway and turn around and lead his troops back to Lin'an, but they never dared to act rashly.

They didn't know that every time the navy led by Li Yongxuan docked for supplies, he would teleport to Lin'an, Jincheng, and Jueqing Valley to reunite with the people around him. He already knew everything about the movements in the court.

There were many people in the court who wanted to deal with Li Yongxuan, and Li Yongxuan also wanted to find an opportunity to resolve the hidden unrest factors as soon as possible to avoid any trouble in the future during the decisive battle with the Mongolian Empire.

After Li Yongxuan took control of the government, he reorganized the decision-making body of the court.

He created a military aircraft department, which ostensibly made military decisions, but in fact covered all civil, criminal, financial, military and personnel affairs and unified everything.

As a military general, Li Yongxuan did not have a suitable position in the administrative hierarchy of the imperial court, so he transferred the decision-making place of the imperial court to his private residence, held the seals and ribbons of the three provinces, and exercised the power of the three provinces on his behalf.

He held military and political power in the name of Privy Councilor, and exercised the decision-making power on behalf of the emperor. The way to exercise the highest decision-making power was to act on behalf of Yubi.

The imperial pen system began in the Song Dynasty. The emperor bypassed the prime minister and directly issued command orders, demonstrating the emperor's supreme power.

Many powerful officials became the decision-makers of the imperial court and controlled the affairs of the imperial court.

During the two Song Dynasties, several powerful ministers were born: Qin Hui in the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Kuanwei, Shi Miyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, etc.

Shi Miyuan had only been dead for more than ten years. Because of this, the reaction of the entire court to Li Yongxuan's control of the government was not so intense.

Another important reason is that Li Yongxuan led his army to continuously regain lost territory and drive away the Mongolian army, which increased his prestige among the army, the people, and the court. Many people hoped that he could take power.

In order to ensure that the decisions he made were reasonable, reasonable and legal, Li Yongxuan selected talents from the court as military ministers to participate in political affairs, provide suggestions and serve as references.

He first interviews the ministers he is optimistic about, and if he feels they are suitable, he will then use the Soul Transferring Technique to test them.

All those that are inappropriate will be eliminated; only those that meet the conditions and have no problems can pass.

After screening, Li Yongxuan discovered many outstanding talents: Zhao Kui, Wu Qian, Cheng Yuanfeng, Dong Huai, Xie Fangshu, Zheng Qingzhi, etc. He also promoted a large number of talents to participate in political affairs.

In the process of policy formulation, Li Yongxuan conducted multi-level dialogues with the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Governor of Military Aircraft and other officials in Beijing and the court.

It not only ensures the smooth flow of information for him, but also gives full play to the role of collective decision-making, minimizing decision-making errors. It also has a mutual restrictive effect on the military aircraft minister and military aircraft governor, thus ensuring Li Yongxuan's final decision-making power.

A few months ago, when Dong Huai was in Guangqi and sentenced to some prison terms, incidents of border harassment by ethnic minorities often occurred in the Yongzhou area.

Li Yongxuan received the Seven Strategies for Defense presented by Dong Huai and greatly appreciated it, so he transferred him to the capital.

Ethnic minorities are different from foreign ethnic groups. If they are not properly resolved, they can easily cause endless troubles.

It is still necessary to treat ethnic minorities with reasonable principles, treat them with sincerity, non-aggression and mutual benefit.

Although Li Yongxuan adhered to Taizu's decision-making policy and made up his mind to unite all forces that could be united, there would still be enemies after all.

Not long after, a "Qing Jun Side" campaign against Li Yongxuan quickly spread throughout the Song Dynasty.

The masterminds behind the scenes, in addition to the Song Emperor, were the large landowners, princes, nobles, loyal ministers and other forces.

Li Yongxuan not only deprived the Song Emperor of his supreme imperial power, but also seriously violated the interests of the big landowners, princes and nobles.

Although the public land law is relatively fair, Li Yongxuan touched the fundamental interests of the big landowners.

He bought back the excess land and rented it to people who had no land or very little land, so that the big landlord class could no longer use the land to suck blood from the farmers.

Not to mention the princes and nobles.

Li Yongxuan even reduced the salary of the Song Emperor by 70 to 80%. Not to mention the bloated princes and nobles, many of the privileges they enjoyed were directly cancelled.

Of course the princes and nobles were not happy and wanted to resist and overthrow Li Yongxuan.

In just a few days, tens of thousands of people were involved in the "Qing Jun Side" movement.

Unfortunately, before they could make waves, they were quickly extinguished by Li Yongxuan, who had anticipated it.

Hundreds of leaders were killed, thousands of accomplices were detained for trial, and tens of thousands of participants were punished.

This time, the civil strife in the imperial court was quelled, and the Military Aircraft Department, the Royal Guards, the Supervision Bureau, and the garrison all played an important role.

The military and aircraft ministers all opposed the southern expedition to Annan.

They believe that once Li Yongxuan leaves Lin'an, the situation is likely to be unstable and the good situation in front of him will fall short.

It wasn't until Li Yongxuan said that he would not leave Lin'an that several military ministers agreed.

Since leading the navy to sea, Li Yongxuan has not appeared in front of outsiders. He only occasionally discusses important matters with a few military ministers. Even the military governor cannot see him.

Several military ministers thought that Li Yongxuan deliberately concealed the truth and pretended to lead a large army to conquer Annan, but actually stayed in Lin'an. He wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

They have seen this kind of thing too much and are used to it.

Who knew that Li Yongxuan did lead his army to suppress dissidents, just by the way.

After Li Yongxuan ended the civil strife, he asked people to help deal with the aftermath.

He teleported back to the front line and continued fighting.

Apart from Japan, the country Li Yongxuan hated most was South Vietnam.

In this southern expedition, he led the navy to push all the way, and as long as he saw Annan's warships, he would sink them all.

Originally, Li Yongxuan wanted to capture the leader of Annan Kingdom, but unexpectedly, the guy actually abandoned the capital and ran away.

Although the Song army did not completely conquer the Annan Kingdom, they occupied almost all the important cities in Annan and specially sent troops to garrison them.

Since the Annan people wanted to hide in the mountains and old forests to fight guerrilla warfare with them, Li Yongxuan naturally took precautions, that is, to occupy all the cities or destroy them and let the Annan people go to the mountains to become savages.

If you want to enter the city, women will be welcomed, while men will be sentenced.

The Annan people wanted to use the hot and humid weather to deal with the Song army, and then follow up and attack when the Song army ran out of ammunition and food.

But they never thought that Li Yongxuan had made preparations before the Southern Expedition.

Not only are they all soldiers from the south, but they can also replenish supplies and ammunition anytime and anywhere. If they see that the soldiers are not adapted to the climate, they will directly arrange to return to the Song Dynasty.

In this way, although there were fewer soldiers in the southern expedition, the price paid was also small.

Casualties on the battlefield are very few, and non-combat casualties are the most terrifying.

The Annan people tried to sneak attack the Song army defending the city several times, but failed, and many lives were lost.

The Annan people wanted to disrupt the Song Army's logistics supplies, but they never saw how the Song Army transported supplies.

After encountering many obstacles, they gave up the idea of ​​sneak attack on the Song army and hoped that the Song army could not stand the weather in Annan and withdraw its troops voluntarily.

Two days a day, three days and four days, five days and six days...

January, two months, March and April...

The Annan people were horrified to find that the Song army was as stable as Mount Tai and had no intention of withdrawing due to shortage of food and grass.

They all turned into savages and monkeys in the mountains, but the Song army lived in their houses in the city, eating well and drinking spicy food.

Li Yongxuan knew nothing about this. After he ordered Annan to be captured, he began to prepare to attack the Angkor Dynasty.

He learned that the Cham people hated the Angkor dynasty, so he asked the Cham people to be the vanguard to attack the Angkor dynasty.

Facts have proved that the Angkor Dynasty was already very weak.

In just one month, the Song army reached Angkor Thom, the capital of the Angkor Dynasty.

Angkor Thom, also known as Angkor Wat, has the largest temple in the world, with more than 600 temples. It is known as the "Four Wonders of the East" together with the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal of Asan, and Borobudur of India.

Li Yongxuan looked at the spectacular and magnificent Angkor Thom and sighed.

It would be strange if this kind of dynasty that wasted people and money did not decline.

A few decades ago, the Angkor Dynasty was still a very powerful dynasty, with 200,000 war elephants alone.

Today, the strength of the Angkor Dynasty is not even as good as that of Annan. It is mainly due to large-scale construction and constant foreign campaigns, which have drained the blood and sweat of the people, causing continuous uprisings and rebellions, and emptied the family fortune.

Li Yongxuan did not want to burn Angkor Thom into ruins, so he asked people to persuade the Angkor Dynasty to surrender.

The king of the Angkor Dynasty knew that he could not resist the Song army, and after discussing with his officials, he chose to withdraw.

They were worried that the Song army would pursue them, so they did not wreak havoc. They just took away some valuable items in a hurry, leaving a large amount of property and materials behind.

Li Yongxuan did not lead the army to pursue, but led people to take over Angkor Thom.

There are twenty miles around Angkor Thom, and there are five gates, each with two levels.

There is only one gate to the west, north and south, but there are two gates to the east.

Angkor Thom has ancient courts, zodiac towers, sky palaces, elephant towers, etc. The symbiosis of ancient trees and ancient temples in Ta Prohm Temple is amazing, the flowers in the Queen's Palace are stunningly complex and exquisite, and the "Khmer" of Bayon Temple is

The smile is impressive...

Not to mention others, even the well-informed Li Yongxuan was amazed by the magnificent Angkor Thom.
