444 Conquest of Southeast Asia

As people get old, their ambitions have naturally been eroded. Now Songtsen Gampo is lying on the sickbed and only one idea is left. After his death, Siam will be destroyed again!

For this reason, Songtsen Gampo handed over all the powerful guards to the eldest son, without leaving any help. As long as the eldest son had a thought, he could die silently!

However, I don’t know if Songtsen Gampo’s achievements were too high or his education of his children was too successful, even though the throne was close to him, his eldest son still had no wrong ideas.

Songtsen Gampo has done everything he should do, but he still cannot get the desired result. He can't just tell his son to kill himself quickly...

As a result, during the Ming army's songs, Songtsen Gampo was so desperate that he was lying on his life, more in a coma than in a waking life!

The government had long been handed over to the eldest son, but his son did not have the military talent of Songtsen Gampo. After taking over the military and political power, he sent out all the remaining two main corpses in less than a month and was completely wiped out...

The large tract of territory conquered before the Siam Kingdom was also conquered by the Ming army, and the war had already entered the land of the Siam Kingdom!

At this time, because the troops were divided into garrisons, except for the artillery, Richard led the front line troops with only more than 10,000 guard infantry left.

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

The Ming army's occupation in various parts of the Southeast Asian Peninsula was also in this way. Generally speaking, there were only a few guard infantry in each town and a large number of Southeast Asian indigenous people equipped with cold weapons were responsible for maintaining public order.

The local powerful and forceful forces were all washed away, and it was still possible to manage a group of civilians and big families without teeth.

The military operation to conquer the Southeast Asian Peninsula was not only a little longer, but the other processes were very smooth.

When the Ming army entered the land of the Siam Kingdom, there was no more war-making troops in the Siam Kingdom. The rest were either temporary recruits or local garrison troops with weak combat power.

Under such circumstances, Songtsen Gampo, the eldest son of Songtsen Gampo, who had already taken power and wanted to become the revival of the Siam Kingdom, was completely panicked. Songtsen Gampo watched the world he had won with one hand and was defeated by his son. Finally got what he wanted and was angry to death...

In the second month of Songtsen Gampo's death, more than 50,000 indigenous young cannon fodder soldiers of the Ming army came to the capital of the Siam Kingdom.

With Richard's various promises, the people inside the capital of the Siam Kingdom were disintegrated. In less than three days of besieging the city, someone secretly opened the city gate and let the Ming army go in!

In the end, Songtsen Gampo's eldest son fled north with a small number of guards, intending to escape to the legendary Kingdom of Heaven.

Unfortunately, the personal prestige of Songtsen Gampo, the eldest son, is a naked counterexample compared with his father. Most of the people in the Siam Kingdom held the resentment of the destruction on him. During the escape, due to the lack of guards, they were captured alive by the Siam people from the people and sent to Richard!

Because the resistance of the Siam Kingdom was very weak and the surrender was very thorough, Richard's Ming army suffered minimal losses, so Richard was very generous and did not force the cannon fodder and food to be recruited in the territory of the Siam Kingdom.

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

Nearly half of the administrative rights of the Southeast Asian Peninsula were divided!

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

The ten young and strong men who were arrested by each of the Guard infantrymen had been trained to become soldiers and were rectified on the spot to local police and military farming soldiers to maintain local public order.

Richard was able to conquer the entire Southeast Asian Peninsula so easily, and the use of these cannon fodders was undoubtedly the greatest.

In fact, during the combat process, the infantry of the Guards carried out the finishing work, and the main ones were artillery units.

All those who really charge into battle were these indigenous people in Southeast Asia.

This is also because Richard's system soldiers suffered extremely little losses and were all killed or injured.

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

The artillery was even more unharmed!

However, more than 100,000 cannon fodder in Southeast Asia were killed in battle!

Of course, the total number of troops and their servants destroyed by Richard's Ming army was hundreds of thousands of times, and even the Kingdom of Siam itself was not clear about the specific number...

Because except for the main corps of the Siam Kingdom, the other minions were recruited locally and previously recruited prisoners of war, and the numbers were changing all the time and could not be counted at all.

There are many people, but their combat effectiveness is very weak. Due to the backward civilization of the Southeast Asian Peninsula, almost all the male young men were recruited in every war.

In fact, it is half a soldier and half a people's existence, so there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops that were annihilated in the Siam Kingdom.

However, less than 10% of the people who were actually killed on the battlefield were surrendered and captured and fled to the countryside.

Many of Richard's Southeast Asian cannon fodders were adapted from prisoners of war.

If all these prisoners of war are killed, the agricultural production on the Southeast Asian Peninsula will immediately fall a lot!

Of course, Richard would not do this. The indigenous people in Southeast Asia look similar to those in East Asia 6, and they belong to a nation that can be assimilated!

In this world, the standard for whether to be assimilated is simple, depending on the color and appearance of the skin.

Only people with similar skin color and appearance are conducive to assimilation, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to accept it.

This era is very xenophobic, and it is really difficult for the Han people to accept the golden and blue foreigners or semen...

When the indigenous people on the Southeast Asian Peninsula were conquered by Richard, they had just left tribal civilization and were far from forming their own cultural characteristics, let alone national independence, and it was very easy to be assimilated.

As long as people are sent to teach them to speak Chinese and conduct large-scale immigration, some Han people will immigrate, and some indigenous immigrants in Southeast Asia will return to East Asia. They will adopt a mixed living method. After decades, the entire Southeast Asian civilization will speak Chinese and write Chinese characters!

The lower the level of civilization, the easier it is to assimilate, let alone the appearance of the two.

In December 2018, the Siam Kingdom was officially destroyed, and the Southeast Asian Peninsula became an administrative region of the Ming Kingdom (a higher than the administrative unit of the province). Since the attack on the Siam Kingdom began in July, Richard spent more than five months to destroy Siam...

If we add the battle to conquer the southwestern chieftains that began in December last year, it took Richard a year to complete the entire southern expedition.

I have to say that the indigenous people of Southeast Asia are really too weak!

With natural dangers, mountains and rivers and jungle miasma, it was still completely conquered in just one year!
