Chapter 1258: The Khmer Empire
The first is the Khmer Empire. This empire is actually an ancient country located in the Indochina Peninsula, and its territory can be considered relatively large, probably as large as Yangzhou.
This country is actually next to the Jiuri County that he established before, so he poses such a big threat to his own Jiuri County.
Now the national identity of most people in Jiuri County has actually begun to slowly emerge. After all, Qin Shuo's attitude towards them is also very good, and there are also some great changes in their lives. This In fact, it is the most important.
For many people, the kingdom is not necessarily a bad thing, or even a good thing, just like most people in Jiuri County, but there are still some people who refuse to accept discipline.
If they are united internally and externally, then there is actually a big threat to themselves. Qin Shuo certainly does not exist to allow such a threat to exist for too long, so he has already thought about it now. There are some ways.
The current Khmer Empire, in fact, his country's most important combat power, that is, they stand in their country, also has almost tens of thousands of war elephants, and this number is already some people feel amazing
Surprised.
The truth itself is very powerful in combat. If it is used in ancient battles, its destructive power is similar to that of a tank, or even stronger than a tank.
After all, they are also able to overcome various terrains. In this way, they have a great advantage, which is also a headache for Qin Shuo.
Anyway, no matter what, Qin Shuo was ready to point his spearhead at him. After all, if they didn't eliminate him, maybe they would take the initiative to attack him.
Modern society itself is a Darwinian society. If you don't attack other countries, then other countries will definitely come and attack you.
Perhaps many people disagree with this point, but this point is often a truth, and only after practice, perhaps many people will realize this point.
But many times people don't actually have the opportunity to practice, but this is not a big deal, it can be regarded as some small things.
The current Qin Shuo also has some small worries about the Khmer Empire, and he doesn't know if he will become his own worry in the future.
The Khmer Empire is actually in the jungle. What they are very good at is those mountain troops, plus those
With the cooperation of elephant soldiers, their strength will rise again.
It's not that there are no elephant soldiers on Qin Shuo's side, but the number of those elephant soldiers is extremely rare. If this is the case, it is impossible for him to let them be the main team.
If you really want to take action against the Khmer Empire, then the problem now is that you can use it, and only those mountain troops.
In addition, there is no way to transport those red-clothed cannons. After all, they are all mountainous areas, so it is impossible to rely on the platform, which will greatly reduce their speed.
And after encountering this kind of mountain, it is not a good thing for the whole. If I am not careful, I may destroy all my red cannons.
Although the production capacity on his side is indeed strong, Qin Shuo would still be very reluctant in his heart if those red cannons were destroyed.
Fortunately, they have already trained those mountain troops before, and now a large part of the people in the mountain troops can use muskets. In this way, fighting in the jungle is also a great benefit.
But the firing speed of muskets is still a little too slow now, Qin Shuo is also letting those craftsmen
Try to change this as much as possible.
If success can be changed, then it is naturally a good thing, even if there is no way to change success, then it is nothing.
As time progresses slowly, many problems are different from before, so now Qin Shuo also looks at problems from a different angle.
In addition, apart from the Khmer Empire, there are still other empires threatening him, such as the Java country that his courtiers mentioned before.
The total number of people in the previous Khmer Empire should have been about 5 million, but the number of people in this Java country has reached about 30 million.
From this point, it can be seen that the number of people in the Khmer Empire is not too large, so it is a little simpler to say that I am sorry, but Java really needs to make itself a little more serious.
Thirty million people is indeed not too small, and they are still on an island far away, so their naval strength is also somewhat strong.
If you want to occupy them, then you want to occupy Luzon Island in advance, and the location of Luzon Island is very important.
This Luzon Island should be regarded as a very small country, but this
The geographical location is indeed very important. Basically, some important waterways pass through this Luzon Island.
Although this Luzon Island does not belong to the entire Han area, there are indeed a lot of Han people on Luzon Island, and they are all slowly multiplying there.
One of the biggest characteristics of our own nation is hard work and continuous self-improvement, especially overseas, which is more able to show such a characteristic.
Therefore, most people can live peacefully on Luzon Island. Of course, there are many of them who cherish their homeland. There are not a few people who have such an idea. is stronger now.
It is said that in addition to being an important waterway, that place is also very rich in gold, and the products are abundant and the trade is prosperous.
Once you occupy that place, you can completely carry out agricultural or industrial activities such as shipbuilding, textiles, pottery, and tea planting there. In this way, you can fully develop this place in Luzon Island.
If you are sent to this place to achieve social stability and certain economic development, then you are also responsible for yourself. A great benefit is equivalent to a business card for yourself outside.
