From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 441
Richard did not expect that Songtsen Gampo, who had disappeared at the beginning, brought the last remnants and immigrants of Tufan to the Southeast Asian Peninsula. He also defeated the primitive and backward indigenous kingdoms of Southeast Asia, and gathered the indigenous princes to establish the peninsula in line with the national conditions of Southeast Asia. Kingdom of Siam!
Songtsen Gampo established the Kingdom of Siam instead of Turpan, and he made a lot of sacrifices for this.
According to reports from the Tusi Leading Party, which is on the verge of the Kingdom of Siam, the Tufan people who moved from the north to the south have actually merged with the Southeast Asian natives.
The reason why Songtsen Gampo was able to establish a unified Siamese kingdom so quickly was not only because the indigenous kingdoms of the Southeast Asian peninsula were still in the backward stage of the transition from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, but also because Songtsen Gampo cleverly used marriage. And other methods have won the support of most of the indigenous princes in Southeast Asia.
And wipe out those die-hard indigenous kingdoms one by one.
The Kingdom of Siam is one of the indigenous kingdoms of the Southeast Asian peninsula, and it is also the first indigenous kingdom that Songtsen Gampo encountered when he went south.
After Songtsen Gampo’s Tufan army defeated the Kingdom of Siam once and gained a foothold, they found that it was not difficult for him to defeat the natives of the Southeast Asian peninsula, but it was difficult for him to rule them.
There is no other reason, the Tufan population who followed Songtsen Gambo south is too small…
So Songtsen Gambo chose a circuitous route of rule.
The history of the rise of Songtsen Gampo has spread throughout the Southeast Asian peninsula with the expansion of the Kingdom of Siam. The reason why the southwestern chieftains were not conquered by the Kingdom of Siam was just because they lived in mountainous areas, Songtsen Gampo of the Kingdom of Siam. It’s too difficult to conquer.
To put it bluntly, it would do more harm than good!
Under the explanation of the surrendered southwest chieftain, Richard learned that after the people of Songtsen Gampo got a foothold, they took advantage of the victory of the Kingdom of Siam to marry the daughter of the Kingdom of Siam.
In this way, Songtsen Gampo obtained a certain degree of succession to the Kingdom of Siam.
At that time, the king of the Kingdom of Siam was still in good health, and there were direct sons under him, and he was not worried that Songtsan Gambo would be next to the king’s power.
However, after Songtsen Gambo married the Siamese king’s daughter and took the Tufan to stand firm, the Siamese king died inexplicably!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the death of the King of Siam has a lot to do with Songtsen Gampo, but as Songtsen Gampo took power, the evidence was obliterated.
After the death of the King of Siam, the wicked Songtsen Gampo first filed a lawsuit, saying that the son of the King of Siam wanted to succeed and murder his father, and then provoked the war.
In this way, the civil war broke out in the Kingdom of Siam.
The result is self-evident. The main force of the Siamese kings has been defeated by Songtsen Gampo before. The reason for the marriage was that he could not beat Songtsen Gampo before marrying a daughter. During the civil war, the Siamese kings and princes were naturally not Songtsen Gampo. Zangamboo’s opponent.
In this way, Songtsen Gampo easily entered the capital city by stepping on the corpse of the Siamese king’s family, replacing the king of Siam’s throne!
His legitimacy comes from the daughter of the Siamese king he married!
Kill all the princes of the King of Siam, and he will naturally have the legitimacy of enthroning…
Of course, Songtsen Gampo’s behavior was not recognized by the dignitaries of the Kingdom of Siam, but Songtsen Gampo was also a ruthless person.
In the original Tufan kingdom, Songtsen Gampo could raise a butcher knife and kill blood for power, not to mention facing Southeast Asian indigenous dignitaries?
As a result, Songtsen Gampo sorted out the entire Siam Kingdom in his own way, completely consolidated his power and became the only legitimate king of the Siam Kingdom.
Because he was supported by a group of Tufan generals, even if the people of the Siam Kingdom were very disgusted with his actions, they could not shake Songtsen Gampo’s rule.
This method of violently seizing the throne will kill more people and it will not be safer. What’s more, Songtsen Gampo’s Tufan supporters will gradually be corrupted by the locals over time, unlike Richard’s absolutely loyal system army. Comparability.
Songtsen Gampo also knew this. In order to divert domestic doubts about his legitimacy, Songtsen Gampo brazenly integrated the army of the Kingdom of Siam and combined it with the Turpan army to launch a war of conquest.
Originally, Songtsen Gambo just wanted to use external expansion to divert domestic conflicts and establish his own prestige in the war.
Unexpectedly, other indigenous kingdoms in Southeast Asia are weaker than the Siamese kingdom, so the ambitions of Songtsen Gampo, who have won many battles, will naturally grow inevitably.
In addition, Songtsen Gampo always won the war due to the expansion of foreign wars, and the voice of domestic opposition was gradually suppressed. The Siam kingdom was all immersed in the glory brought to them by the new king.
The most important thing is that after the expansion of the Kingdom of Siam, the basic market has grown. Songtsen Gambo will have enough new land to make up for and appease the local dignitaries of the Kingdom of Siam, thus gaining the support of a large number of local dignitaries in the Kingdom of Siam~www. mtlnovel.com~ Let your foundation gradually become firmer.
People are all chasing profits, Songtsen Gambo can bring huge benefits to the big guys, even if Songtsen Gambo is in an improper position, everyone has the right to not see it.
In this way, the Kingdom of Siam unified the backward and civilized Southeast Asian peninsula. The fertile coastal areas and fertile plains were all swallowed by whales, leaving only the mountains and Gobi deserts uninvaded.
All the indigenous kingdoms of the Southeast Asian peninsula were all destroyed by Songtsen Gampo.
Songtsen Gambo is not young anymore, and he doesn’t want his descendants to face counterattacks from other indigenous kingdoms.
In order to completely exterminate the indigenous kingdoms of the Southeast Asian peninsula after returning to heaven, Songtsen Gampo raised a butcher knife to massacre the indigenous princes and nobles of Southeast Asia, and also burned the written records of the indigenous kingdoms of Southeast Asia to unify the writing and language, trying to bring the entire Southeast Asian peninsula Unity of civilization!
It is this kind of cleansing and unification of internal civilization that made Songtsen Gambo unable to continue to expand after conquering the Southeast Asian peninsula, until Richard brought his troops to fight!
At this time, the situation of Songtsen Gampo’s Siam Kingdom was similar to that of Richard’s Ming Kingdom. They dared not say anything. Songtsen Gampo’s butcher knife was no worse than Richard’s. The blood feud had already been accumulated. But it was because of Songtsen Gambo’s prestige.
If Songtsen Gampo is given enough time, he can completely wipe out the remnants of other aboriginal princes and nobles, and complete the integration of the Siam kingdom to the entire Southeast Asian peninsula.
Unfortunately, Richard came too soon!
In July 2018, Richard led the Ming army to attack the border of the Kingdom of Siam, and the war between the Kingdom of Ming and the Kingdom of Siam officially broke out!
