"He is worthy of being praised by **** Taizu!"

Taking the memorial submitted by the Nanyue Kingdom, Liu Che sighed and said.

It’s right to think about it. What kind of scenes has a person like Zhao Tuo not seen before? What kind of storms has he never encountered?

He achieved the position of deputy commander of the Qin Dynasty's conquering army with his true determination of Qi Lang.

Even in the prosperous Qin Dynasty when there were many generals at that time, he was still considered a figure.

Afterwards, he experienced the turbulent historical period before and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, as well as the conflicts in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Tuo almost single-handedly defended his hometown in the chaotic situation of the world at that time, and expanded his territory to the Indochina Peninsula to establish Jiaozhi County.

Such a person naturally has a clear mind and thinking, and knows what kind of decision to make is in the best interests of oneself.

As for South Vietnam, apart from entering Chang'an and expressing the most respectful surrender, under the current situation, there is almost no other way to avoid war.

"Send Lieutenant Ju Meng of the Hu Ben Guards to welcome the King of South Vietnam to the DPRK. The local counties and counties must provide the best service to the South Vietnamese envoys to the DPRK and not let the loyal ministers feel cold!" Liu Che issued the order.

If you don't send a heavyweight minister to greet and protect the South Vietnamese envoys entering the DPRK.

Liu Che was really worried that some scum would secretly do some dirty deeds.

Especially the kings of Qilu.

These guys are notoriously arrogant and arrogant, yet they all feel pretty good about themselves.

If these guys are allowed to destroy the good situation that has been achieved with great difficulty, Liu Che will not even have time to cry.

You must know that Zhao Tuo's entry into Chang'an was almost equivalent to the South Vietnamese Kingdom completely giving up its independent policy and turning to integrating into the Han Dynasty and seeking unification with China.

Although, the Han Dynasty has never stationed a single soldier in the local area, has never appointed a pavilion chief, and has not organized anything like clearing the land and registering the population to declare sovereignty and clarify governance rights.

All the people in South Vietnam still surrendered to Pan Yu and obeyed Pan Yu's orders instead of Chang'an.

But after Zhao Tuo enters the court, all this will change.

Appoint officials, station troops, clear land and population, and organize water conservancy repairs.

These things will be gradually realized one by one.

A few decades later, today's Nanyue Kingdom will become the territory of the Han Dynasty, just like the Changsha Kingdom in the past and the Dongou Kingdom not long ago.

This goal can be achieved without a single soldier.

Liu Che was very satisfied.

After all, in this way, the resources used for war can be used for people's livelihood and infrastructure construction.

Even the most conservative estimates suggest that once troops were launched against South Vietnam, the Han Dynasty would need to mobilize at least 100,000 combat troops and three times that number of logistical personnel, and would also recruit at least 200,000 civilians.

Spend at least hundreds of millions on military expenditures.

These are only wartime expenses.

The local reconstruction, refugee resettlement and county division of South Vietnam after the war also required countless resource investments. Take a look

If Zhao Tuo stubbornly resists reunification, then for the sake of the territorial integrity of the country and the majesty of the Han emperor, this battle will naturally be necessary.

But now that Zhao Tuo is willing to surrender, Liu Che will naturally not be stupid enough to start a civil war.

If we have the time to invest this war funds, resources and manpower in construction, how many people will benefit?

but

"Since Zhao Tuo has surrendered, Jiaozhi County and the monkeys in its jungle must be cleaned up," Liu Che thought in his heart.

There is no need to learn from the experience of later generations, just learn from the experience of Taigong and Guan Zhong.

Those who are willing to become Chinese and dress with Chinese characters can accept, accommodate, protect, and teach them culture and technology.

I don’t want to be Chinese and feel that I belong to some other nationality.

People roll away, but the ground stays.

If people don't roll away, the earth will still want to stay.

Then you can only use a knife to reason.

All in all, all in all. In the Jiaozhi area, Liu Che wants to eliminate all unrest and unstable factors this time.

We must use the same spirit of cleaning up the Indians and clean every corner carefully.

The South Vietnam issue was initially resolved when the South Vietnamese king Zhao Tuo declared his surrender and entered the DPRK.

The Kingdom of South Vietnam has knelt down and kowtowed to Chang'an, expressing its willingness to return to the embrace of China and jointly build a world-class country.

So

Liu Che looked at the map. The territory covered most of Fujian in later generations, the Chaoshan area of ​​Guangdong, and Minyue in part of Zhejiang.

I feel like this kingdom is so dazzling.

"Unification" Liu Che looked at the territory of the Minyue Kingdom and murmured the ancient famous saying of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty: "I am the king of the world and the parent of the people. How can I not save them just because I have a piece of water?"

As he said this, Liu Che's chest beat even harder.

Yes, I am the lord of the world, how can I sit back and watch the mountains and rivers shatter and the people suffer?

I have been ordered by heaven, and heaven has entrusted me with great responsibilities!

If the country cannot be unified, why talk about having India, spanning Asia and Europe?

"It's time to restore the old county in central Fujian"

In the thirty-third year of the First Emperor of Qin, Qin soldiers entered Fujian, defeated all the Yue princes, and established Minzhong County.

At this point, Qin's great cause of unification was declared complete.

The Qin Empire began to rule almost all the areas that the ancestors of the Xia had visited since ancient times.

Qin's Black Dragon Banner covered almost the entire Zhuxia cultural circle.

Unfortunately, this unity was short-lived.

As the heroic leader Qin Shihuang died suddenly on the southern patrol road, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang roared in Daze Township, becoming arrogant, and the extremely powerful Qin Empire collapsed.

Afterwards, although the Han Dynasty was established, the country was still divided.

Liu spent sixty years recuperating and recuperating. Today, with the increase in national and military strength, the call for reunification has sounded again.

Of course, the Xia people never talk about unity.

Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.

The latent will rooted deep in the bone marrow and blood will drive any Chinese emperor with a little ambition to conquer and expand all the places that can be cultivated and farmed within his sight.

Liu Che always believed that there was a Himalaya standing in his way.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Chinese soldiers had already gone to the Indian subcontinent to educate the simple and kind-hearted Indian people, and gave the Chinese emperor's meticulous kindness to the three brothers who were in dire straits.

I gently touched the territory of Minyue on the map.

Liu Che then ordered: "Order the Xiuyi Guards and the officials of Jiangdu to find out all the news about the Minyue Kingdom at all costs, and win over all the Minyue nobles who can be won over!"

Compared with South Vietnam, Minyue is undoubtedly easier to deal with.

Because, in fact, the Minyue Kingdom was established because of Liu Bang's canonization.

The late king of Fujian and Yue, Wu Zhu, was just a servant of Wu Bin, the king of Changsha.

It's not because Liu Bang thought highly of him and gave him the title of king, otherwise where would Minyue come from?

But. From another aspect, Fujian and Vietnam are more difficult to deal with than South Vietnam.

Because the degree of local Sinicization is very low, the centripetal force towards the Chinese dynasty is not as strong as that of South Vietnam.

At least in South Vietnam, under the governance of Zhao Tuo, the degree of Chineseization of the Baiyue nobles in the past was already very high, and the whole country of South Vietnam implemented a system of prefectures and counties in accordance with the Qin system.

But Minyue is different.

There are a bunch of tribal leaders and nobles, and some of these tribal leaders have a high degree of Chineseization.

For example, the royal family and the few powerful people who have come to Chang'an for pilgrimage can all speak fluent Chinese and have a deep understanding of Chinese allusions and culture. They even consider themselves Chinese.

But there are also quite a few who don't know a single Chinese character, have no concept of Zhu Xia at all, and only think about becoming the king and hegemonic tribal leader.

Therefore, the difference between South Vietnam and Minyue is that in the former, whether the Han army invades or the King of South Vietnam surrenders, as long as Chinese officials and troops pass by, the entire territory of South Vietnam can be declared an integral part of the Han Dynasty.

The local people, regardless of whether they were Han or Vietnamese, could immediately pay taxes and serve in Chang'an.

But Minyue is different.

It would be easy for the Han army to destroy the Minyue regime, as long as the Nanyue soldiers and Jiangdu and Kuaiji soldiers could do it.

It may even be a march similar to an armed parade.

But it is extremely difficult to completely rule the local area.

During the heyday of the Qin Dynasty, it was still exhausted by the poor public security and repeated turmoil in Minzhong County.

In history, Emperor Wu's military operations against Fujian, Vietnam and South Vietnam eventually became two templates.

After the destruction of the Kingdom of South Vietnam, the Han Dynasty immediately implemented effective rule over the entire territory of South Vietnam.
