128. Calm down civil unrest(2/2)
"What's wrong?"
Guo Fu heard Li Yongxuan sigh and said curiously: "This place is so beautiful, what's wrong with it? Why do I feel that this place should be more luxurious than the Song Dynasty palace? Do you think so?"
She followed Li Yongxuan all the way to conquer the Angkor Dynasty, and was greatly surprised when she entered Angkor Thom. It seemed to be even more magnificent and luxurious than the Song Dynasty palace she had heard.
"nothing!"
Li Yongxuan smiled slightly: "There is a pyramid in a place, which is very spectacular. I will take you to see it if I have the opportunity in the future!"
He already wants to conquer Africa, trample the whole world under his feet, and of course the romantic turkey.
"pyramid?"
Guo Fu smiled sweetly: "A tower made of gold?"
She originally hated the hot and humid climate, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to get along with Li Yongxuan, so she followed him.
Guo Fu knew that there were several women around Li Yongxuan, and now that he was in control of the government, there were countless women who wanted to join him but had no chance.
“Go and take a look and you’ll find out!”
Li Yongxuan said casually while strolling around.
He used his super sense to search for the gold and silver treasures hidden by the Angkor people. When he found a place, he asked people to dig it up.
For several days, Li Yongxuan found all the gold and silver treasures hidden by the Angkor people and piled them into a hill.
After a short rest, the soldiers were rewarded for their merits, and the remaining gold and silver treasures were sent to the secret warehouse.
Although the Angkor Dynasty declined, its territory was much larger than Annam and Champa combined.
With Li Yongxuan's more than 100,000 people, it is obviously not an easy task to occupy the Angkor Dynasty.
The main purpose of this southern expedition was to plunder wealth and expand its power. Secondly, it was to increase the territory of the Song Dynasty and take the entire Southeast Asia into its pocket. The third was to promote the culture of the Central Plains and let all Southeast Asia use the culture, systems and laws of the Song Dynasty, etc.
After resting, Li Yongxuan selected a group of strong men from the surrendered Champa, Annan, and Angkor people, organized them into troops, and continued to fight as vanguards.
He asked Guo Jing to lead 30,000 troops to stay at Angkor Thom, and then led his army to attack Luohu and Sukhothai dynasty in the west of the Angkor dynasty.
Dendrobium has excellent natural conditions and is rich in rice. A large amount of rice is exported to surrounding countries every year.
Although the territory of Luohu is far less than that of the Angkor Dynasty, its strength is not weaker than that of the Angkor Dynasty.
Unfortunately, Luo Hu encountered the Song army equipped with strong ships and cannons.
In more than a month, Luohu was occupied by the Song army.
The availability of surrendered slave soldiers greatly reduced the casualties of the Song army in the war.
Li Yongxuan did not go on a killing spree, which caused many people to surrender to the Song army.
In the following days, all the treasures hidden by the Luohu people were plundered.
After conquering Luohu, Li Yongxuan's next goal was the Sukhothai Dynasty in the west.
The leader of the Thai tribe, Yingtasarothe, united with other surrounding tribes and successfully established himself in 1238, thus becoming the first king of the Sukhothai Dynasty.
The territory of the Sukhothai Dynasty was very vast, almost the same as that of the Angkor Dynasty.
All the people of the Sukhothai Dynasty were soldiers. They farmed in their spare time and enlisted in the army during war.
Kun is the highest military officer, with various official positions including commander of thousands, commander of centurions, etc.
Hearing this, Li Yongxuan was immediately shocked.
If it is true that all the people are soldiers, then the Sukhothai Dynasty is definitely a tough nut to crack.
But after hearing the introduction from the insider, Li Yongxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that Kun of the Sukhothai Dynasty was not like a feudal autocratic king and had no absolute authority at all.
When a war breaks out or something major happens, Kun must discuss it with the tribal leader.
It is said to be a dynasty, but in fact it is not even a country, it can only be regarded as a federation.
The rule of the central dynasty was limited to the Kinai region, and other regions were managed by their respective tribal leaders.
