From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 439

The Daming cabinet government launched the paper money economic plan, and Richard took the system soldiers on the road of the Southern Expedition.

Since the system cabinet headed by Zhuge Liang, Richard has been freed from the complicated worldly affairs.

You can lead the army wholeheartedly to conquer the outside world and complete the map splicing of the total war system!

Now it is not far from Richard’s first goal-to unify all regions of the East Asian continent and complete a qualitative change in the tax revenue of the total war system.

Soon, the main force of Richard’s army arrived in Yunnan-Guizhou area.

This is also the dividing line between Daming and the peninsula of Southeast Asia, and further southwest is the “Hundred Thousand Mountain” commonly known by the locals.

Richard doesn’t know if there are 100,000 mountains, but he knows that all the roads ahead are mountain roads!

Although it can’t reach the level of natural danger, it is definitely a test for the big army!

More importantly, the mountain roads are full of venomous snakes, insect pests and all kinds of miasma. If they are not locals, foreign soldiers can easily fall ill on the march.

This is also one of the reasons why Tang Dynasty was unwilling to conquer the Southeast Asian peninsula at its peak.

Another reason is that the development of the Southeast Asian Peninsula is too backward. Although Datang’s army did not conquer the southwest, there were a small number of adventurers and business travelers trying to explore the southwestern peninsula.

The term Southeast Asia Peninsula is relative to the entire Eurasian continent. For East Asia, the Southeast Asia Peninsula is actually located in the southwest.

With the East Asian continent as the center, the farther to the southwest, the lagging behind, the more the number of Tusi, in the eyes of the Central Plains, the Tusi is a tribe of barbarians, relying on the shelter of the mountains to live a primitive and backward life.

Full of wildness, there is not much oil and water after conquering…

The things produced by a group of backward and barbarous human tribes will not be regarded by the original Datang people at all. On the contrary, those barbarous human tribes are in great need of the iron tools and various living materials produced by Datang.

People are all chasing profits. The poor and backward land in this era is worthless, and Datang naturally has no desire to conquer the poor and poor, complex terrain of the Southwest Peninsula.

After all, everyone knows that conquering the Southwest Peninsula is not only a better-looking map and increasing the prestige of some countries, but it is a loss-making business.

The soldiers who got sick and died in the process of conquering absolutely far exceeded the battle damage. Even if they were defeated, opening up wasteland and repairing roads would be enough to make the court lose money. Even if all these were completed, the court would not get much benefit…

At least, in the messages from business travelers and adventurers, the Southeast Asian peninsula is a barren land of poverty.

The reason for this conclusion is naturally because the business travelers and adventurers of the former Tang Dynasty did not really go to the surplus and flat areas of the Southeast Asian peninsula, and they could not go there…

The unreasonable barbaric toasts along the way were enough to stop them, and even half of the ten people who entered the Southwest Peninsula could not return.

Therefore, Richard’s insistence on conquering the southwestern peninsula was once again regarded by Ming bureaucrats and civilians as a meaningless war waged by tyrants in order to satisfy the pleasure of conquering.

Moreover, the response this time was even more intense than the Northern Expedition Green Leather!

The Northern Expedition Greenskin Court can also use the slogan of revenge to fool the common people, but the Southwest Peninsula, which has nothing to do with the mainland of East Asia, has no political slogans to promote.

Everyone knows that the southwest is so poor that the cost of opening up and expanding the territory far exceeds the benefits, and the southwest campaign is purely an act of not worth the gain.

Coupled with Baitiao’s requisition for grain, the people complained, and an undercurrent in Daming gradually raised its head.

Of course, thanks to Richard’s fame, although most people were very dissatisfied, they did not dare to really join the rebel organization. The series operations of the Revival Society did not achieve the desired results.

However, gangs and anti-Ming organizations everywhere sent people to pay close attention to the ending of Ming Guo’s southern expedition. Once Richard’s army suffered heavy losses during the southern expedition, the anti-Ming movement would unfold like a raging fire!

The impression left by the southwest on the natives of East Asia is terrible. It is not a force that humans can withstand various natural disasters. Therefore, many people do not think that Richard’s main force of the Ming army can win the Southern Expedition without any problems.

The rule of the Ming Kingdom is based on the invincible system of the Ming Army by Richard. Once this system has suffered heavy losses, the outside world will feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Some people want to lift the tyrant Richard to the throne of the emperor!

In popular words, Richard’s rule is unpopular!

The reason for the unpopularity is simple. One is the implementation of the land equalization exemption order, which has offended all the vested interests. Although most of them have been dealt with, there will be remnants in the end.

Those with vested interests are all social elites, and at least they won’t obscure everyone.

The second reason is because the Ming army killed too many people in the process of unifying East Asia.

If you kill too many people, you will accumulate more hatred. Who doesn’t have relatives and friends like seven aunts and eight aunts?

Whether it is killed on the battlefield ~www.mtlnovel.com~ or killed by the soldiers because of the war, it will be counted as Richard’s head.

Richard’s victory was built on numerous bones, and the seeds of hatred have long been all over the world!

However, Richard Nanzheng hasn’t shown signs of decline, so Da Ming’s undercurrents dare to contact quietly, not to appear at all, and even dare not accumulate large amounts of weapons and equipment, otherwise Jin Yiwei will invite them to the prison for tea…

The spy agency is definitely a fairly advanced political concept compared to this era.

In Richard’s previous life, why did each country have its own spy agency?

It’s not because this kind of organization is so easy to use!

Even if Richard is unpopular, as long as the invincible core Ming army is still there, Jin Yiwei can firmly suppress the formation of civilian anti-Ming forces.

It is for this reason that Richard can rest assured that he will march south.

Compared with the hearty northern expedition, the southern expedition is a long-term job.

Richard first summoned tens of thousands of reserve soldiers and formed the uncooperative chieftains of the Southern Expeditionary Army to clear the mountains.

These advance troops all came with the imperial edict of Daming, and as long as they were willing to submit, they could become a member of the Daming family.

Of course, surrendering is not a verbal statement. It is a bureaucracy that needs to be sent by Ming, and ordinary civilians must be moved to a relatively flat place to reclaim wasteland.

The core purpose is to flick those who live in the mountains to live in a flat area, which is convenient for management and tax collection.

If you cooperate obediently, Mingguo can allow the local chieftain to become the first-generation parent official.

Of course, Ming Ting will definitely send supervisory officials at all levels and deprive the chieftain of the chieftain’s military power!

In fact, this kind of edict is more like an enrollment condition to turn the chieftain of the chieftain into a local rich man.
