From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 444

When people are old, their former ambitions will naturally wear off. Now Songtsen Gambo, lying on the sick bed, has only one thought left. After his own death, Siam will be subjugated again!

For this reason, Songtsen Gampo handed over all the power of the guards to the eldest son, and he did not leave a hand behind. As long as the eldest son had a thought, he could die silently!

However, I don’t know if Songtsen Gampo’s achievements are too high, or he has been too successful in educating his children, even though the throne is close in front of him, his eldest son still hasn’t moved any crooked thoughts.

Songtsen Gambo has done everything he should do, and still can’t get the results he wants. He can’t directly tell his son to kill himself…

As a result, during the triumphant song of the Ming army, Songtsen Gambo was so half-dead, and he was in a coma more than when he was awake!

The government has already been handed over to the eldest son, but his son did not have the military talents of Songtsen Gambo. After taking over the military and political power, he sent out all the remaining two main legions in less than a month and was completely annihilated…

The large tracts of territory that the Kingdom of Siam had laid before were also conquered by the Ming army, and the war has entered the mainland of the Kingdom of Siam!

At this time, due to the division of troops and garrison, in addition to the artillery intact, the frontline troops led by Richard only had more than 10,000 guards infantry.

Of course, the infantry of more than 10,000 guards also brought more than 100,000 cannon fodder.

The Ming army’s occupation of various parts of the Southeast Asian peninsula is also in this form. Generally speaking, only a small number of guard infantry in each town and a large number of Southeast Asian natives equipped with cold weapons are responsible for maintaining law and order.

The local powerful and armed forces have been washed away, and it is still possible to manage a group of civilians and large households without teeth.

The military operations to conquer the peninsula of Southeast Asia took more time, but the other process went very smoothly.

When the Ming army marched into the kingdom of Siam, the Kingdom of Siam could not find a warrior. The rest were either recruits temporarily recruited or local garrison troops with weak combat effectiveness.

In this situation, the eldest son of Songtsen Gampo, who had already mastered the power and wanted to become the lord of ZTE in the Kingdom of Siam, completely panicked. Songtsen Gampo watched the world he had beaten by his own hand was defeated by his son, and finally got paid. As I wish, I was alive to death…

In the second month of Songtsen Gampo’s death, more than 5,000 infantry guards from the Ming army and more than 50,000 Southeast Asian indigenous young cannon fodder soldiers came to the capital of the Kingdom of Siam.

Under Richard’s various promises, the hearts of the people in the capital of the Kingdom of Siam became distracted. Within three days of besieging the city, someone privately opened the gate of the city and let the Ming army in!

In the end, Songtsen Gampo’s eldest son fled north with a small number of his guards, intending to flee to the legendary Kingdom of Tianzhu.

It is a pity that the personal prestige of Songtsen Gampo’s eldest son is a stark counterexample to his father’s. Most of the people in the Kingdom of Siam put the hatred of subjugation on his head. During the flight, he was caught by the people because of the lack of guards The Siamese captured it alive and gave it to Richard!

Because the resistance of the Kingdom of Siam was very weak and the surrender was very thorough, which caused the loss of Richard’s Ming army to be minimal, so Richard was very generous and did not forcefully levy cannon fodder and food in the Kingdom of Siam.

Not only that, Richard also reappointed the rich and powerful bureaucrats of the Siam Kingdom who had opened the door to surrender and surrendered before, and promised the various benefits he had promised.

Nearly half of the administrative power of the Southeast Asian peninsula has been separated!

Of course, the army must be in the hands of Richard.

The ten young men arrested by each of the Guards infantry have been trained as soldiers, and they have been transformed into local patrol and field soldiers to maintain local law and order.

Richard’s ability to conquer the entire Southeast Asian peninsula so easily is undoubtedly the greatest use of these cannon fodder.

In fact, the infantry of the Guards carried out the finishing work during the battle, and they mainly played the artillery unit.

All those who are really charged and trapped are these Southeast Asian natives.

This is also the reason that Richard’s systematic soldiers lost very little, and the casualties were all indigenous cannon fodder.

During the conquest of the entire Southeast Asian peninsula, the number of casualties of the Guards infantry did not even break through the triple digits!

The artillery is even more uninjured!

However, the number of Southeast Asian indigenous cannon fodder killed more than 100,000!

Of course, the Siamese Kingdom troops destroyed by Richard’s Ming army and their servants add up to hundreds of thousands. The exact number is not even clear to the Siam Kingdom…

Because the army of the Kingdom of Siam, except for the main army, the other servants are all prisoners of war collected locally and previously collected, and the numbers are constantly changing, and there is no way to count them.

There are many people, but the combat effectiveness is very weak. Because of the backward civilization of the Southeast Asian peninsula, almost all young men are recruited in every war.

In fact, it was half soldiers and half civilians, so the number of troops annihilated before and after the Kingdom of Siam was hundreds of thousands.

However, the ones who were really killed on the battlefield were not even a single Chengdu, and most of them were surrendered and captured and fled to the countryside.

Many of Richard’s cannon fodder in Southeast Asia are adapted from prisoners of war ~www.mtlnovel.com~ If all these prisoners of war are killed, the agricultural production of the Southeast Asian peninsula will immediately go backwards!

Of course, Richard would not do this. The indigenous people of Southeast Asia look similar to the East Asian continent, and they belong to a nation that can be assimilated!

In this world, the standard for assimilation is very simple, depending on skin color and appearance.

People with similar skin color and appearance are good for assimilation, otherwise it is difficult for the folks to accept.

This era is very xenophobic. It is really too difficult for the Han people to accept blonde or blue-eyed foreigners or secular people…

When the natives of the Southeast Asian peninsula were conquered by Richard, they had just left the tribal civilization, and they were far from forming their own cultural characteristics, not to mention ethnic independence. They were assimilated easily.

Just send people to teach them to speak Chinese and carry out large-scale immigration. Some Han people will immigrate. Some Southeast Asian indigenous immigrants will return to the East Asian continent and adopt a mixed settlement method. After decades of work, the entire Southeast Asian civilization will speak Chinese and write Chinese characters!

The lower the level of civilization, the easier it is to assimilate, not to mention the appearance of the two.

In December 18th, the Kingdom of Siam was officially destroyed, and the Southeast Asian peninsula became an administrative region of the Kingdom of Ming (higher than the administrative unit of the province). It only took more than 5 months for Richard to attack the Kingdom of Siam in July. Time has perished Siam…

If you add in the campaign to conquer the Southwest Chieftain that began in December last year, the entire southern conquest took Richard a year.

I have to say that the natives of Southeast Asia are too weak!

With the natural barriers of mountains and rivers, the jungle miasma was still completely conquered in just one year!

At the moment of conquering the peninsula of Southeast Asia, Richard received a system prompt.
