Chapter 1179(1/2)
The problem Su Ashi discovered was that these Funan people were divided but not separated. Although the city-states in various places were not subordinate to each other, many Funan merchants were in marriage and cooperation with each other.
In this kind of mutual trust for generations, they often cover up and maintain each other.
It's most common to help hide some property.
"These people are indeed thieves. They would rather give their family wealth to outsiders than obey the king's laws. Keeping them is a disaster and should have been killed long ago."
Su A'o thought for a moment and felt that if he went to search for the rest of the wealthy merchants in Funan, he would have to have the order of King Huan Wen, otherwise he would be afraid that the king would be able to lead the "man" into the "han".
"Do you know which families are doing this kind of sheltering?" Su Ao decided to ask clearly first, and then return to Huan Wen.
"Sir Qibing, the child has already figured out that there are all these companies..."
The Funan Party Leader has already recognized Su Athi as her adoptive father. He wants to please these new conquerors every day, so he has naturally prepared for it.
However, after hearing the list of collusion and rebellion, Su Ao couldn't help frowning, glad that he was not too reckless just now.
Because among these Funan people, several of them are emerging Funan powerhouses who have already obtained official positions under King Huan.
Several families even married their daughter to Huan Wen, which is considered a standard royal relative.
Su A-te did not dare to make a decision, so he immediately led his troops back to the city to report.
However, when Huan Wen's reaction after hearing this situation was far beyond Su A's expectations.
"Although we are going to lead the 'man' into the 'han', the most important thing is that we need their loyalty and honest work. Such a collusion and rebellious family, even if they gain the trust of their official positions, they will still be unfamiliar wolf cubs!"
Huan Wen commented on the newly attached Funan people and nobles with a cold attitude.
In fact, he had already noticed that those Funan people were honest in public, but in secret, they hated them, the new Han people.
"Oh, how do you deal with unfamiliar wolf cubs on your grassland?" Huan Wen asked.
When Su Aji heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you will naturally strangle the wolf cubs who are not ripe and then peel them and eat meat!"
"Hahaha, then that's the end. Since there are precedents in how to deal with wolf cubs, how to deal with these Funan rebellions, we will use the same method."
Facing Huan Wen's relaxed words, Su A'o was still a little hesitant.
"King, several of these families are from Funan clans, and there are also women from the clan serving the king."
"What are the big clans afraid of? If anyone dares to collude and rebel, it will be uprooted!" Huan Wen said indifferently.
These Funan people could not resist their military strength before, and now they are not concerned about it.
"As for those families and national affairs, how could it be abandoned just because of a few women? What should we do? We must strictly handle it!"
Huan Wen finally gave the ultimate order, that is, as long as he had something to do with rebellion, no matter what his identity was, he would all be punished for destroying his family and destroying his clan.
"If one dares to collude with rebellion, then slaughter one family. There are ten or hundreds of schools, that is, slaughtering ten or hundreds of schools!"
"Only by leaving the most obedient ones behind, this future guide to Fu Nan and Han will be solid."
Su A'o's face turned red with excitement at this time.
He naturally knew the huge benefits behind this order clearly.
To slaughter a family and help the people in the south is to make a family of money.
"Don't worry, I'll arrest all the rebels in Funan torture them. As long as the evidence of the crime is seized, everything will be done."
Su Amu is now General Cao under King Huan's command, and he likes to arrest people and behead his head.
"Well, this is the best, but it is of great importance. You should not stick to these methods too hard. You should act strictly and would rather kill by mistake than let go!"
In just one sentence, these two sinful "Han" conquerors judged the fate of hundreds of Funan people to die.
In the following months, countless Funan merchants were killed in the entire Huan family feudal state centered on Angkor Thom.
Under the guidance of some scum of Funan, the executioner Su Amulet sent devout Zoroastrians one by one on the way to see the God of Light.
Faced with the bloody butcher knife, the entire Funan people of Angkor Thom immediately woke up.
It turns out that these terrifying Han people are so tough in their hands, and they are not afraid of not cooperating.
If anyone dares to resist, it will be the only way to die. No matter what noble status he was once or what official position he is now, they will not be let go.
In an instant, all the Funan people inside and outside Angkor Town became obedient.
Faced with the orders issued by King Huan, everyone accepted them without hesitation.
Whether Huan Wen ordered all the Funan people to change their surnames to be borne by the Han people, or ordered the demolition of Zoroastrianism and various churches to rebuild schools, or ordered the prohibition of intermarriage among blood relatives, etc., to break the hundreds of years of customs of the locals, they all received absolute support.
After all, the hawks led by Suath killed nearly 30% of the Funan people in Angkor Thom. It was good that the remaining people were not scared to death, so they had no courage to resist.
Faced with such fruitful results, Su Age and others couldn't help but be proud of their martial arts. They show off their power in front of Funan people every day to highlight their noble status as the "Han".
However, those Funan people were the same as those who did not think of these cruel "Han people" as those of the Southern Central Protectorate.
The people of Funan believed that only the Han people from the Southern Central Protectorate were real Han people. Although they were all very powerful, they were reasonable and had rules.
The brutal "Han people" in front of us are all fakes, but they are descendants of some of the brutal Lin barbarians who were pretending to be Han people.
Because of the fierce reputation of the Lin Barbarians back then, these Funan people gradually called the soldiers under Huan Wen the Bai Lin Barbarians.
In the Funan language, it means the purebred Lin barbarians.
Don’t you executioners call yourself Han people? Then we Funan people are not as good as you wish, and we want to call you the Lin Barbarians!
No matter how much you promote your Han identity, in the eyes of Funan people around you, all the "Han people" in Angkor Thom have the title of "Bai Linman".
However, these "Bai Lin Barbarians" of Angkor Thom were in great success and had no legacy of the Lin Barbarians back then.
With his own thunderous means, Huan Wen set off a rapid and progressive education in Angkor Thom.
According to his vision, he used two years to integrate the Funan people near Angkor Thom, and then used three years to control the Funan people in the entire Hezhong area.
Five years were enough to use the people of Funan to cross mountains and ridges to seek revenge on Murong's tribe.
However, human calculations are always worse than God's calculations, or in other words, Huan Wen's calculations are always not so perfect.
Five years later!
Although Huan Wen had captured most of the land of Funan people, he realized the nominal "King of Funan".
However, the actual dominance in it made him feel very helpless.
"King, there are new barbarians invading the north of Fanxi City, killing and injuring thousands of residents and plundering tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. Several Funan lords in Fanxi said that their vitality was severely damaged, and there was no way to pay tribute this year."
"King, the King of Linyi in the southwest sent troops to expel the herdsmen of our army and also plundered cattle, sheep, and livestock. This is the third time this year. Please ask the King to allow us to send troops to escort!"
"King, the Funan people in Yueming City in the south rebelled again and colluded with the Su Yi people. More than 20 Funan tribes of all sizes responded and needed to send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."
In Angkor City, Huan Wen, with a serious face, was listening to the generals and officials reporting on military and national affairs.
As a place where four battles are located, Funan is like a leaking sieve. All countries and tribes on all sides may turn into enemies.
In particular, a new conqueror like Huan Wen, who is coming in a fierce manner but has no advantage in numbers, always faces more severe challenges.
"Year after year, either the east side was pacified, the west side was rebelled, or the north side was defeated, and the south side was enemies."
"If this continues, when will the plan of "I want to raise troops and gather grain and go south to take revenge?"
Huan Wen's whole mood was getting worse and worse as he heard a lot of border emergency.
The territory of the Funan people is too large, and there are too few soldiers and horses in his headquarters.
Far away from Angkor Thom, the Funan people at both ends must be used.
Once strong pressure is not given in time, these Funan people will often passively and slacken off all kinds of collection and offerings, or they will collude with external forces to cede the land and rebel.
Over the past five years, Huan Wen was either quelling the rebellion or on the way to quell the rebellion.
"Master, I think that only after you have managed the Man Kingdom properly, you can think of going south to take revenge. If you are eager to achieve success, you will be afraid that you will lose both ways."
An official wearing the uniform of a foreign vassal in the Han Dynasty advised Huan Wen.
"Sir, shouldn't I go to Murong Xianbei to take revenge?" Huan Wen was a little unhappy.
"King, the empress does not mean this. Of course, the national revenge must be avenged, but the foundation is unstable. How can we take revenge?"
This official was not afraid or nervous when facing Huan Wen.
"Since that's the case, what good advice does sir have to teach me?"
Huan Wen has also realized that his attitude was inappropriate just now.
The Han official in front of him was not the generals of Su Ashi under his command. He could just curse him a little.
This descendant of the famous Gaomen clan in the Central Plains. He was from the Wang clan of Taiyuan and was the subordinate brother of the empress of the Han Dynasty.
Because he violated the ban on the migration of the great Han emperors and powerful people, he was sent to the Nanzhong Protectorate.
By chance, Huan Wen, who was suffering from insufficient talent in civil administration, wrote a letter to Liu Yu, begging all the criminals and officials of the Nanzhong Protectorate Palace.
"King, the land of Funan has expanded by five thousand miles now, and there are at least a dozen neighboring countries, including many of the Wancheng powers such as Linyi, the west side!"
Although Wang Shu didn't come to Angkor Thom for a long time, he quickly found out the situation facing Funan Country with his agility.
If you put an ordinary person in such a standard place of four battles, you will easily be defeated if you are not careful.
However, Huan Wen stumbled and controlled most of the land in just five years with the tens of thousands of powerful "New Han" soldiers in his hands.
