Xu Shiling did not hesitate to kill the fat pig-like official, and stepped on his corpse with his foot, and spat at him, Zhu Luoguo, the girl is a pig!

Xu Shiling didn't have many people at hand, and the number of troops he could use was less than three thousand, so he was cautious and didn't dare to use force, but when he learned about Tianzhu's situation, Xu Shiling became full of confidence.

In this realm, the upper classes of monks and officials make up less than 10 percent, and the rest of the merchants, peasants, including many more untouchables, lie down on the ground and are oppressed by the upper two layers.

No matter how cruel the deprivation is, most people will accept it and take it as a practice, they don't care how much they suffer in this life, as long as they can be powerful and blessed in the next life!

Xu Shiling remembered the Diamond Sutra he had read, and everything was like a dream, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and it should be viewed as such. Although the Tianzhu people have abandoned the Dharma, they are practicing it, beating and scolding people, no matter how they torture, even if they take their lives, they don't care.

It is almost impossible to expect them to revolt angrily like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and make a desperate blow.

Such a country has a huge advantage, that is, it is very easy to govern, such as the Chola country, which has been established for more than a thousand years, and it is still those families who rule this country, and what is even worse is that ordinary people have completely accepted it, it seems that if there is no foreign enemy, it can still rule for a thousand years!

In addition to being wonderful, Xu Shiling no longer knows how to describe it.

It's easy to govern, and on another level, it's easy to conquer.

Don't expect more than ninety percent of the lower class to fight to the death for the upper class, and don't expect them to defend the country...... Anyway, they're all in hell, and it's not the same for anyone!

"Our enemies are only the upper echelons of Chola, as long as we defeat them, we can occupy a large land!"

Xu Shiling excitedly told everyone that his naval brothers were all enthusiastic and eager to try, but some people raised doubts, we are not familiar with the environment, we don't know the terrain, and we don't have cattle and horses to help us carry military supplies, how can we fight against a country with less than 3,000 soldiers?

Xu Shiling smiled slightly, he had already thought about it.

In Tianzhu, not only are there clear distinctions between various classes, but even different cities and different regions are sharply opposed, and there are also different sects, which regard each other as the enemy of life and death.

So Xu Shiling came up with a brilliant idea.

He took out the food, hired the civilians, and worked for them.

Then, he mixed up several civilians from different places, let them watch each other, and contain each other, so that there was no need to worry about anyone daring to betray.

After a short period of reorganization, Xu Shiling obtained more than 10,000 people, Tianzhu could not do anything else, there were still a lot of cattle, he requisitioned a large group of cattle to carry arms and baggage.

In this way, Xu Shiling started his journey to conquer Tianzhu.

His opponent, the King of Chola, was known for his warlikeness, and he kept 60,000 war elephants, each of which was extremely tall, and carried huts on the backs of elephants, in which archers shot and looked at them.

The entire southern part of the Indian peninsula was under the rule of the Chola kings, who even occupied the Strait of Malacca, and the island of Sumatra and the Malay peninsula on both sides were the territory of the Chola kings.

After Xu Shiling arrived, he continued to understand. In the eyes of others, maybe Zhu Luo is a tough opponent, but Xu Shiling is not afraid at all.

With war elephants as the main weapon, it was determined that the King of Chola would be defeated!

And his warriors belong only to him, and don't expect more than ninety percent of ordinary people and untouchables to assist him in his battle.

Although we are on an expedition of 10,000 miles, it is not certain who is in the right place and whose hands are it!

When Xu Shiling was reorganized, he specially selected a few young people who were quite smart, promoted them to officials, and let them take charge of affairs...... Give them whips and let them whip those who were once on high above.

As long as they dare to attack, they will be further improved, and if they dare not attack, then they will be decisively killed...... After killing more than a hundred people, Xu Shiling got five outlaws.

From untouchables to officials in charge of life and death, they have no choice but to be loyal to the Great Zhou.

These five men did everything they could to buy off other untouchables, spy on intelligence, and find out the movements of the Chola army, and they never slept ...... In this way, King Chola had his first war with the Great Zhou under a completely unfamiliar situation.

Five thousand war elephants screamed, rushed from the horizon, the thick elephant's legs stepped on the ground, the ground shook, the king of Chola, full of confidence, no matter how many people, will be trampled into flesh by his elephant soldiers!

"Ignorant Zhou people, they will die an ugly death!"

After King Chola said this, he encountered a scene that he never dared to think of in his life, on the side of the Great Zhou, twenty cannons, roaring together, projectiles flew out and landed in the middle of the elephant soldiers.

The elephant like a wall, in front of the projectile, is only a slightly larger piece of meat, as long as it is hit, it will definitely die, and it is also the kind of intestine that is ruptured and flesh and blood flying, which is extremely miserable.

In the Great Zhou army array, after the artillery was fired, the rockets also followed, and the original navy was also equipped with bed crossbows, which were also fired together, and the firelight, the sound of explosions, thick gunsmoke, and splashing shrapnel deeply shocked the soldiers of Zhu Luo.

More fearful than humans, war elephants.

Elephants are very intelligent creatures, so smart that they won't die easily...... When these behemoths saw the terrible scene and saw their companions fall, they all fled in fear.

The elephant slaves screamed desperately, grabbed the ropes, and beat the war elephant's head with the stick in their hands, trying to control the beast, but their actions only intensified the elephant's rage, and the elephant ran more wildly.

Xu Shiling watched from behind the battle formation, and he also used his strength to eat milk, throwing all the firearms out in one go.

If the Chola people can rush to the front, the two sides will fight a bloody battle, and the victory or defeat will still be five or five.

However, the Chola people mistakenly used war elephants, and they kicked the iron plate at once.

The galloping war elephants trampled hundreds of soldiers to death and scattered tens of thousands...... On the other hand, on the side of Da Zhou, there is almost no loss!

"Kill!"

The Zhou soldiers attacked decisively, the gunfire continued, and the Zhuluo soldiers who had no time to flee were killed one after another, corpses were everywhere, and more people knelt on the ground, trembling.

The firearms of the Great Zhou, in their opinion, are the divine power that only the god Shiva can have, and the gods are on the side of the Great Zhou, what else can they have to contend with?

In this way, it took Xu Shiling less than half a month to occupy more than a dozen cities, and the area under his control reached millions of people.

The more places he conquered, the more Xu Shiling discovered the interest of the Tianzhu people.

These dozen or so cities all nominally belonged to the Chola State.

But their languages are completely different, which is not surprising, in Jiangnan, the dialects of each region are very different, and they don't understand each other, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

But the strange thing about Tianzhu is that the language is not comprehensible, the words are different, and even the weights and measures are different!

In addition, there are also tax rates that are not common between cities, and taxes must be paid for trafficking goods.

How to describe it, their situation is still before the Qin Dynasty, or rather, even Xia Shang Zhou is not as good.

There is only one indicator of the rule of the Chola king, and that is that the cities pay taxes to the Chola king, and other than that, there is no connection.

Many people have no idea who the king is and no loyalty at all......

"What the hell is this place, grandma?"

Xu Shiling had a crazy thought, if he could abandon the Great Zhou, stay in Tianzhu all the time, and copy Qin Shi Huang's set in this land, thousands of years later, maybe there will be countless people who respect themselves and regard themselves as gods!

Xu Shiling only dared to think for a quarter of an hour, then quickly shook his head and expelled the terrible thoughts, he knew too well that Da Zhou was different from Tianzhu, behind him, there were hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, and countless artillery warships...... He is just a pioneer, and more people will come to kill this land.

Therefore, what should be done is to lay more ground as soon as possible and establish greater merits.

Xu Shiling transferred people from different cities to manage each other.

Then he plundered all the warehouses, and the goods and grain obtained were traded according to seventy-three or three for the nouveau riche promoted...... In addition, he brought the tea, silk, and porcelain he had brought to the land.

Now that you have laid down your territory, you can't still be like a robber.

Xu Shiling handed over these expensive goods to local merchants, let them sell them, and use the caravan to explore intelligence and find targets......

For the tough Zhou soldiers, this is not a war at all, it is almost like a drill.

Although they had less than three thousand men, they could easily play with ten times as many enemies.

King Chola's men and horses were attacked several times, and less than 20,000 of the 60,000 war elephants remained, and seventy percent of the men and horses were lost. The territories that had been surrendered collapsed one after another, and envoys from all over the country ran to the side of Da Zhou to ask for surrender.

Xu Shiling really wanted to continue fighting and seize more territory, but he ran into a problem.

One third of the Zhou soldiers were unaccustomed to water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, some were infected with tropical parasites, and some had ulcerated skin and were in pain.

Xu Shiling had to stop the attack, he led his men and horses back to the beach to repair, and at the same time sent good news to the country, asking for support......

"This is the situation in Tianzhu, where we control about one and a half million people!" Ye Hua said with a smile.

Guo Zongxun couldn't believe it, three thousand people, one and a half million people were controlled!

It's crazy, even if one person spits a mouthful of foam, he can drown, are all Tianzhu people pigs? How can you be so honest?

Compared with Guo Zongxun's disbelief, Guo Xingge is more concerned about labor.

"Brother, can you get people back to be coolies?"

Ye Hua nodded, but shook his head again.

"It's okay to get it back, but are you sure you want to get it back?"

"Why don't you get it back?" Guo Xingge shouted: "In the current coal mines and iron mines, manpower is needed everywhere, and a Khitan slave can be sold for seventy yuan!" Can't Tianzhu people? ”

Ye Hua smiled bitterly: "It's really not good...... Did you know that 80% of them are vegetarians, and their food is simple and very poorly nutritious...... With their physical fitness, I'm afraid they can't withstand the sea rush, and even if they are brought here, what can they do with their arms and legs like hemp rods? ”

"This!"

Brother Guo Xing was asked, he felt for the first time that being a waste is also beneficial, at least it will not be sold as a slave!

"Brother, then Tianzhu is useless?"

Ye Hua laughed, "How could it be, Xu Shiling has already grabbed 400,000 taels of gold and 1.5 million stone grain...... Although Tianzhu's rice tastes bad, at least it's grain! By the way, he also said that our silk tea is very popular in Tianzhu, as well as cotton yarn, where the weather is too hot, and thin cotton yarn can be sold for more than gold...... Congratulations, the steam mill is up and running! ”
