However, the overall casualties were not significant.
Zhao Yuan's task for Huang Xin was to ensure that not a single Viet person could be seen in the Kingdom of Annam.
While annihilating the Yue people,
To deter Zhenla and Champa,
It can be said that it turned the Three Mountains into the Three Kingdoms.
The Yue people are naturally not worth mentioning.
It's only a matter of time before they are wiped out.
The Champa envoys witnessed airships and fire bombs in Thang Long Palace.
They were completely terrified.
The Zhenla envoys were on their way.
However, Zhao Yuan had no time to wait for them.
Although Zhao Yuan did not leave behind the spaceship,
However, Huang Xin's troops were equipped with fire mines.
That was enough to intimidate the Zhenla envoy.
The principle of spacecraft is simple.
After seeing it so many times, it becomes less surprising.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Annam did not have flammable oil.
It will soon become unusable if left behind.
Huang Xin's other task
It's about protecting the construction of the new city.
Zhao Yuan was already preparing to exterminate all the Han Chinese in the Kingdom of Annam.
They all migrated to the mouth of the Fulang River.
A new Han Chinese city will be built there.
Soon, craftsmen from the Central Plains will cross the sea to come.
They plan to build a large port city at the mouth of the Fulang River.
Han people can cultivate land near the new city.
It can also be used for maritime transshipment business.
The New Town Society was formed by local Han Chinese to form an army of a thousand men.
The main defense is against potential pirates.
The thousands of miles of land behind them will be regularly cleared by the Liang army.
We guarantee that there will be no Yue people.
In a situation where land is plentiful and there is no ethnic oppression
I believe the Han people will soon continue to multiply.
Expanding inland from port cities
Perhaps it won't be long before they spread throughout the Kingdom of Annam.
The army set off two days ago.
They then bumped into the Dali envoy who had come to pay his respects to Zhao Yuan.
They also expressed their willingness to submit to the Liang Dynasty and pay tribute every year.
The king of Dali was Duan Heyu.
That is, the Duan Yu that Zhao Yuan knew.
However, the Dali court had been controlled by the Gao family of Dali for several generations.
Duan Heyu was merely a king whose symbolic significance outweighed his practical significance.
Zhao Yuan also didn't have time to wipe out Dali.
They received the Dali envoy with kind words.
He then led his troops north.
The army did not return by the original route.
Instead, they took the newly built Hunan and Hubei roads.
Zhao Yuan changed Li Gong's appointment as the General of Hunan Road.
Although Li Gong's troops were also veterans from Guangdong,
However, their combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the new recruits trained by Wang Jin.
He gritted his teeth and followed Zhao Yuan's army to Hunan, but then he couldn't keep up with the main force.
In addition, Hunan Road was rife with bandits.
Zhao Yuan then appointed Li Gong as the General Commander of Hunan Road.
Han Tao was appointed General of Jiangxi Road.
Peng Qi was appointed as the General Commander of Hubei Road.
Jiangxi Road was rebuilt from Jiangnan West Road during the Song Dynasty.
Hunan and Hubei were rebuilt from Jinghu South Road and North Road.
Chapter 1824 Domestic Bandits
After Zhao Yuan led his troops to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and Lü Shinang,
The three prefectures then submitted to the Great Liang.
There were no major separatist forces within the territory.
However, there were many mutinous soldiers and bandits causing trouble.
The Song soldiers in each prefecture were struggling to protect themselves.
Bandits frequently raided the vicinity of the city.
There was no way to expect them to wipe out the bandits within the territory.
The three units were stationed in the area.
The primary task was to suppress the bandits within the territory.
Along the way, Zhao Yuan only briefly met with local officials.
They did not stay in the area.
When crossing the Yangtze River,
Zhao Yuan recalled the day he was to lead his troops to see the Qiantang River tidal bore.
However, the army had already scattered to various places.
Even if the army changes course
They were also unable to muster the necessary troops.
Zhao Yuan sighed for a moment.
They then used the money from the Liang Prince's mansion.
Each of the 100,000 soldiers on the southern expedition received ten strings of cash.
The funds will be used for the soldiers' future expenses in watching the tide.
Originally, only the generals who were in front of the tent that day knew about this matter.
The generals had all long forgotten about this matter.
Until all the soldiers received the silver notes from the Royal Bank,
Only then did the soldiers below learn of this matter.
As for not being able to give any reward at all
That's impossible to completely eliminate.
Many generals treated their subordinates very well on a regular basis.
So that soldiers would fight bravely in battle.
Zhao Yuan could not completely prohibit such behavior by his generals.
May 20th,
It took nearly three months.
Zhao Yuancai led Hua Rong's troops and Zhang Qing's troops back to Tokyo.
All the officials came out of the city to greet him.
The people in the city lined the streets and cheered.
Celebrating the unification of the world,
There were no more military incidents in the Central Plains.
Zhao Yuan rode on the Jade Lion Horse that Shines Through the Night.
From Nanxun Gate, take the imperial road directly to the palace.
The imperial road was originally only for the emperor to use.
But this time it was Zhao Yuan who issued the decree.
The triumphant army marched into the capital via the imperial road.
Banquets have been set up in the palace and military camps.
Reward the troops.
The "Hero's Wine," costing 500 coins per pound, is available in unlimited quantities to the soldiers of the three armies.
Soon the military camp was filled with many staggering drunkards.
Zhao Yuan made a sweeping stroke of his pen,
Another reward of 10,000 strings of cash was given to the soldiers who led the southern expedition.
One hundred mu of land.
The imperial court auctioned off a batch of land.
Still owns millions of hectares of land
The national treasury is no longer strained.
The mirror shop's silver mirrors, eyeglasses, magnifying glasses, and telescopes are all selling very well.
In just over nine months, it brought the imperial court tens of millions of strings of cash in revenue.
With a generous reward
The master craftsmen at the glass bureau also produced glassware that could withstand high temperatures.
This caused a significant drop in the price of glassware imported from overseas.
While Jingxing was amassing wealth across the world...
The imperial court also minted a large quantity of exquisite copper, silver, and gold coins.
The substantial Liang dynasty coins quickly replaced Song dynasty coins.
However, the production of gold and silver in Daliang was small.
Silver and gold coins were issued in small quantities.
