These barbarians trained hard after joining the army to prove their loyalty and were even more brave on the battlefield.

The imperial court's Chinese policy was also good for these barbarian soldiers. They intended to maintain a large number of barbarian soldiers, and even left them with many middle and low-level officer positions in the army.

When Wang Xuance crossed the Lancang River, the barbarian soldiers from the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guizhou ties were the main force, and they fought against the barbarian tribes. After completely breaking through several major divisions such as Xunchuan Man, they conquered and conquered many tribes, ruled them, and established prison counties.

It took more than ten years for Wang Xuance to establish a post road from Erhai Lake through Yongchang to Lishui. With this post road transportation line as the center, several cities and more than 30 market towns were established along the route.

Just like Qin Lang's business in the sea back then, he also points it first and then forms a line, and then radiates to the surrounding area.

For many barbarians, they were mainly restrained, and they were both traded and conscripted.

The Han merchants were introduced to mine and mine, purchase medicinal materials, and then they brought cloth, tea, iron and other products for sale. These all led to the development of Lishui Prefecture. With money in hand, they could naturally better maintain the garrison, and even used the money to recruit and organize the training of a large number of barbarian wolf soldiers with great combat power.

On the edge of the towns controlled by the Tang army, the Tang immigrants also brought advanced Chinese farming techniques, rice planting, terraced fields planting, cotton and linen planting, textiles, silkworm raising, and tea planting. The natives also learned from them and made a lot of profits.

The eunuch Hu Daen was actually not interested in the affairs of these barbarians and barbarians. All he was thinking about was to finish the errands early and leave here as quickly as possible.

He doesn't want to stay in this kind of ghost place for a day.

Those barbarians always tied a few bamboo tubes with them on their bodies. When they went there, they encountered various insects. No matter what they were flying in the sky or swimming in the water, or even various insect eggs, they would not let go directly to the bamboo tubes. When they had free time, they would take them out and eat happily.

It’s okay to eat raw, roast or cook.

What winged ants, ant eggs, bee pupa, poisonous scorpions, beetles, even centipedes, spiders, and even mice are not spared. In these eyes, it seems that everything can be eaten.

Then there are all kinds of leaves and weeds, which seem to be food. They pull them anytime and anywhere, throw them into the pot, boil them, and start eating.

No oil or salt.

They eat all kinds of fish, and they don’t let go of frogs and tadpoles, especially no matter what fish they don’t know. They don’t even scratch the scales, even if they don’t remove the internal organs, they don’t throw away the gallbladder.

Bats are not spared.

Even dung beetles that roll the dung balls eat.

The most overwhelming thing was that once he passed by an inn, he paid for a cow and let it slaughter it. Then the man made him a dish and said that it was a beef that was cooked with herb sauce, which was nutritious and delicious.

He was so hungry that he ate a lot. Later he saw how this Baicao juice was made. He actually used the cow dung that had not been digested in the beef tripe to cook the beef.

Although the barbarian repeatedly explained that the cow had several belly, and one of the belly was herbal juice that had not been digested, not cow dung, but Hu Daen still vomited in disgust.

It was a long time to travel to this wilderness to eat bugs, but it was too much for me to eat cow dung.

"Hu Zhongzhi has worked hard all the way. If you return the same route, it will not be easy to cross mountains and ridges. It is better to rest in Lishui City for a while first, and wait for our troops to go south to conquer Piyue, and go down the river and fight all the way to the beach. At that time, Hu Zhongzhi takes a boat from Lishui and heads north from Haizhong to the north. It will be much easier."

Hu Daen felt that the war would not end for a while. Lishui was two thousand miles away from the capital of the Piao Kingdom. His experience along the way made him understand that in a ghost place like the Southern Barbarians, the distance between the literal distance is actually nonsense.

Because of inconvenient transportation, sometimes it looks like a river and a distance of one or two miles, but to go there, you may have to go around for three or five days, one or two hundred miles or even further.

From Lishui to the estuary of the Lishui River in the south, if you really want to calculate the distance, it will probably take about 4,000 miles. This distance is almost the distance from Luoyang to Wu'an.

Wang Xuance said that the Lishui River could be opened to the sea during the Fengshui period, but Hu Dahai didn't believe it. Besides, how could this Piao Kingdom be destroyed just like this?

However, Wang Xuance advised him to stay for a while. After hesitating for a long time, Hu Daen still agreed to stay because Wang Xuance told him another news that the Grand Tutor King Qi had written a letter to the saint, expressing his support for the imperial court's conquest against the Piao Kingdom.

At the same time, Luzon was willing to open the four commercial halls of the Qin family on the coast of the south of the Piao Kingdom to the imperial navy, and let the staff of the commercial hall act as guides.

Wang Xuance took a map of the South China Sea.

From Jiaozhou to the south, along the coast are Linyi Kingdom, Zhenla Kingdom in the Mekong Delta, the Sora Kingdom and Karossev Kingdom on both sides of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok Bay, as well as the Langya Xiu and Panpan Kingdoms in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, and then the Piao Kingdom.

Among the Qin family's seven overseas concessions free ports and thirteen overseas colonial strongholds, there was not a single one in the Piao Kingdom. First, the Piao Kingdom was strong, and the King of Piao Kingdom did not attach much importance to maritime trade, so the concessions free ports and concessions were not negotiated.

Faced with the powerful Piao Kingdom, the Qin family did not easily attack the Piao Kingdom to establish colonial strongholds. Instead, after years of exchanges, they finally established four shopping malls through local officials and powerful people along the coast of Piao Kingdom.

The level of the mall is not as good as that of the colonies and concessions. It is just a place for trade and residence permitted by the local government. It is equivalent to a larger shop and does not have much privilege.

However, the four shopping malls chosen by the Qin family are located in a good location. They are the locations of the four major seaports in Myanmar in later generations. They are all near the estuary of the coastal and inland rivers. They are themselves important towns in the south of the Piao Kingdom. The Qin family established a shopping mall here to transport goods to trade with the Piao Kingdom government and merchants.

They sold salt, tea, sugar, wine, porcelain, iron, etc. to them, and purchased teak, which is an important high-quality shipbuilding wood, as well as many other specialties such as spices, from the Piao Kingdom.

After several years of operation, several of the Qin family's shopping malls have also had certain relationships in the local area and are also clear about the local situation and information.

At this time, the Qin family took the initiative to support the court. They not only took the initiative to take out the four shopping malls in Piao to support the court's navy, but also took out several concession ports and colonial stronghold ports along the coast to open them to the court's navy and provide supplies to the court's navy. Of course, there was a reason.

Qin Lang has already judged that the emperor intended to use this conflict between the Lishui Governor's Office and the Piao Kingdom to provoke a battle to destroy Piao. This war is imperative. The military supports it, and the border generals in the southwest deliberately created border provocations, so it is difficult for anyone to stop it.

Under this situation, the four shopping malls that the Qin family finally built along the coast of the Piao Kingdom may become cannon fodder when the Tang-Piao conflict escalated into national wars.

After years of hard work, how can you give up?

Qin Lang judged that the Tang army was very successful in destroying the Piao Kingdom. After all, there were successful examples of conquering Tonghai, Yongchang, Yinsheng, and Lishui barbarians. There was still a great chance of fighting along Lishui until the estuary of the sea.

Moreover, Qin Lang had already obtained the strategic plan of the imperial court to use troops to the Piao Kingdom through his relationship in the court. He pierced the Lishui River with a sword and went straight to the sea estuary. At the same time, the navy came to the west and cooperated with the cooperation.

The court did not intend to fight with the barbarians of the Piao Kingdom in the jungle. It planned to first directly open the sea estuary and then build a strategic transportation line along the river. This was the old method of the court to use troops in the southwest region. After establishing a major transportation artery, a fortress city was built along the line, garrison troops were stationed, and then immigrated, recruited local barbarians, and were detained.

This military-town chain strategy has long proved to be very successful.

The imperial court was like this in Lingnan, later in Yunnan and Guizhou, and this was the same in Jiaozhou. It was also the same thing when crossing the Honghe River to open the border.

One fight is accurate, which can fully utilize the Tang army's powerful advantages. As long as you are not in a hurry to surround the jungle with the barbarians, the Tang army will be invincible.

What's more, the Tang army has the advantage of maritimes. Once the sea is opened, it will be fully consolidated.

Even if the barbarians occupy the jungle mountain area, they don’t have to worry. They control this traffic line and wait for attack to gradually erode. After twenty years, the Piao Kingdom will become the next Tonghai.

For the Qin family, if they actively cooperate with the court to attack Piao, then when the court breaks through the Piao Kingdom, the Qin family will naturally make contributions. With the customs of the court, it will be natural for the Qin family to turn four shopping malls into four feudal territory by then. This was all precedent in the Korean War and the Liaodong War.

The Qin family has established many free ports in concessions, colonial strongholds and shopping malls in recent years, which is different from the conquest and military service in the Luzon Islands.

The military use in the Luzon Islands was to completely conquer the islands and provide the Qin family with long-term rule.

The concessions, colonies, and shopping malls established by the Qin family along the coast were all established along the Maritime Silk Road. The main purpose was to trade along the way, provide supply points for the Qin family's overseas trade fleet, and obtain cheaper resources from the colonies.

It is precisely under this positioning that the Qin family has two different ideas about Luzon and overseas. There is no need to occupy too much territory overseas, so as to establish a solid stronghold, and then try to reach a trade agreement with the native kings, focusing on trade.

Of course, if the natives are too weak, they can also occupy more territory if they have the opportunity to occupy more territory. However, after the Qin family conquered the natives, they mainly restricted the power of the natives. As long as they surrendered to the Qin family, they would pay some taxes and pay some protection fees, and then plant cotton, sugarcane, spices, or mining and mining under the command of the Qin family. The Qin family did not intend to do any processing and manufacturing industries in those places. They were all positioned as raw material production and supply, and at most they would carry out initial processing, and finally, cotton, linen, ore, etc. back to Luzon for fine processing.
