It is also October, and the north is snowing thousands of miles away and frozen thousands of miles away, and it is already a white world. But in Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away, the weather is still warm, and the dry season is coming, which is the time when the rain is the least in the year in the tropical region.

For several days, the weather was clear and the bright sunshine bathed the earth. The sky was blue and the wild flowers were dotted with the green forest.

Shenglong Mansion, the capital of the Li Dynasty, has now been renamed Annan City. Inside and outside the city, teams of soldiers are patrolling.

Passers-by will be inspected by soldiers whenever they want to enter and exit the city gate. At first glance, the city defense seems very strict. But in fact, the atmosphere here is not tense.

The city gates are open all over the world, and passers-by are not only from Jiaozhou, but also from many Chameng and real La people.

Annan City, which seems to be heavily guarded, is now the most prosperous city with the most prosperous business in Jiaozhou.

The reason why there are so many military patrols is entirely because the situation in Jiaozhou has not yet been completely pacified.

It is true that Li Yanghuan disappeared, but he never saw anyone in his life or died. How can Xu Huiyan relax his nerves?

Xu Huiyan and his troops were stationed in Jiaozhou. Cham City to the south, Zhenla and some Thai tribes dared not peek at them at all.

Although Xu Huiyan's reputation in the Central Plains was not prominent, he could only be regarded as an ordinary general. He was not well-known when he conquered the Jurchens and Dangxiang, but he gradually gained some reputation in the battle against Li Ni in Jiaozhou. After Chen Go was transferred to Guanxi, as the chief manager of the military capital of Jiaozhou, he suppressed the rebellion of Jiaozhou and was quite effective.

Although he has not yet obtained Li Yanghuan's headline.

However, while suppressing Chameng and Zhen La, he could also eliminate the rebellion of Li Yanghuan's "managers" one by one, allowing the latter to escape into the many mountains in the northwest to disappear. It is not said that he is not capable enough.

Even though his reputation in the Central Plains is still not very good, because in the eyes of the officials and people in the north, the real powerful enemies are the Khitan, Dangxiang, and the Jurchens who were later, and what is Li Ni in Jiaozhou?

Even though the Song Dynasty suffered some losses in the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty, the soldiers and armor of both sides fought head-on, and the Li Dynasty was no match at all, right?

Compared with the nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall, the young people and small countries in the south have never stopped China's pace, but the complex climate and viruses in the south.

Therefore, Xu Huiyan's evaluation in the Central Plains and in the court was relatively average. What impressed him more deeply was that he had no strong hands but insisted on resisting the Jin Dynasty during Jingkang.

However, in the Lingnan region, or on the Indochina Peninsula, Xu Huiyan's reputation is still very famous.

Because the Li Chao once brought unavoidable severe pain to Guangnan West Road, Yu Zhenla fought against Chameng several times and bowed his head.

He is on this acre of three-point land in the Indochina Peninsula, he is a little overlord!

As the chief general of the Song army's war against the Li Dynasty, Xu Huiyan's reputation naturally gradually spread in this area.

No one dared to underestimate him, including Chameng on the south, Zhenla Kingdom on the west, and the Thai people in the mountains.

More than half of the soldiers under Xu Huiyan's tent were Yue people and local soldiers recruited from Lingnan. These people were famous for asking for money but not to die, not to mention that the tricks of the savages of the Zhao Song Dynasty were used, the Yue people and local soldiers were even more willing to die.

Because if they could die for the Song Dynasty, the benefit would be their descendants.

Just like Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Qiu Xu, he will sacrifice his life and give his descendants a better way out.

Because accompanied by the distinction between Chinese and savages, another government order was passed down at the same time, and all the remaining soldiers and martyrs who had bleed and sacrificed for the Song Dynasty were also Chinese people.

Of course, the Lingnan local soldiers under Xu Huiyan were essentially not soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Even so, their deaths were valuable.

The success award will be converted, and their chieftain decides how to use it, whether it is exchanged for money, food, or for its own better treatment and official positions, or for its subordinates' quota.

But no matter how greedy the leaders are, they must always comfort the local soldiers who died in battle. This is enough for them to work hard!

This day is clear and bright.

In Annan's Military and Horse Yasi, Xu Huiyan and his subordinates gathered together. As the Military and Horse Yasi, as an important place in the Jiaozhou garrison, Xu Huiyan summoned the generals to discuss military matters.

"I have recently received a message that Your Majesty intends to enfeoff the kings."

Some of the generals in the conference hall changed drastically when they heard this, while others were confused and had no idea what Xu Hui was referring to.

The latter is mainly composed of some local officials from Lingnan.

However, these people have very rustic identities, but there are really few fools. When they heard Xu Huiyan's words clearly, their faces changed drastically.

The emperor wants to actually grant the title of kings, and the fief of the king among them is on the Indochina Peninsula!

In amazement, all of them were full of eyes and their faces were full of hunger for combat achievements.

No one thought that the emperor would grant Jiaozhou to the vassal kings, so the fiefs of the vassal kings would have to be newly opened, which means a new war!

Most of the officers under Xu Huiyan's tent have nothing to do with, but they are unwilling to be lonely.

If they are willing to be lonely or have little pursuit and are easily satisfied, they will be transferred back to the Central Plains after the Jiaozhou War ends, get promoted and make money, and live a stable life.

Those who are still in Jiaozhou are either motivated and want to make more contributions in the aftermath of the Battle of Jiaozhou; or a group of people who were unable to catch up with the Battle of Jiaozhou and were unable to become a chariot on the Western Expedition.

They were also unwilling to endure their qualifications in the army and were willing to come to Jiaozhou to fight.

Even if there are many poisonous insects and diseases here, they will die if they are not careful.

Even if some people say that they only eat leftovers left by those people back then.

But this is better than slack in the army, right?

Being able to have a motivated mind means that at least the people here dare to fight. When they hear that there is a war to fight, they want to attack immediately, make more contributions, and win a wife and son.

"Everyone, please be careful! Don't be anxious!" Xu Huiyan first watched his subordinates' passionate discussions, until everyone's excitement was almost boiling, and then he started to drink and talk.

The chamber quickly became quiet.

"Everyone knows that the focus of the court is now on the Western Regions, and the battle between Central and South..., haha. The newly established lands are used to enfeoff the vassal kings, so they are destined to not make a big fuss."

"The troops sent by us, except for a small number of vassal troops, are our Jiaozhou troops."

"The mission is not heavy, it is just to cooperate with the navy to open up a situation, and it does not really mean to erase Zhenla and other countries from the map."

"Whether you die or live, or you will be prosperous or declining in the future depends on the methods of the vassal kings!"

"But the private army of the vassal kings is limited, and even if they are recruited recently, it will be difficult to adapt to the water and soil of the South Ocean. The climate here is wet, poisonous insects are everywhere, and there are many diseases and epidemics. The new army hastily launched a battle, and the losses will be great. Therefore, the court gave each vassal a favor, allowing the kings and hired them, and the Jiaozhou army was very generous, but the military achievements were not included in the army. Are you willing?"

Xu Huiyan emphasized the word "hire" and immediately made many local officials open their eyes wide. For them, official positions and wealth are the same.

"If you are lucky, you might be able to be like Li Guang of the former Han Dynasty, with a seal of the general from the vassal state!"

Xu Huiyan, who sat in the head, was wearing a soap robe, not a sharp armor, but had a sense of majesty. His bright eyes were staring at the bottom without blinking.

He believed that many people could understand the meaning of his words.

When a vassal state is newly established, everything is lacking. Compared with the common people, what the kings lack most is a strong army. The most indispensable thing for a strong army is a group of officers with practical experience.

Xu Huiyan then opened the curtain covering the wall with the map, revealing the map of the Indochina Peninsula below.

Without mentioning the northern part adjacent to Dali, and by cutting off Jiaozhou and Chameng, there are still many fertile places in the entire Southeast Peninsula.

For example, the Siam and Khmer in later generations all had large areas of arable land.

Especially in Siam, the national arable land area is about 140 million lei (1 lei = 1,600 square meters), accounting for 41% of the country's land area.

It is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land for building foundations and establishing careers.

The only flaw is that this Feng Shui treasure land has a master. Zhenla, which was still in its heyday, was the famous Angkor dynasty in later generations. Now it ruled half of the land on the Indochina Peninsula, and Jiaozhou and Chameng stood together with it through a long Annan Mountains.

Zhao Gou pointed to the fief of Siam in later generations for his cheap brothers, and his foothold was naturally Bangkok Bay.

The Central Plains of Siam, where farmland is spread in later generations, is still a wilderness. The waterways are densely covered with woods and are occupied by Thai people who are still in the tribal civilization. These tribes surrender to Zhenla, so it is also considered the territory of the Zhenla people.

Zhen La had close contacts with the Song Dynasty, and neither Jiaozhou nor Guangzhou were free from Zhen La's eyes and ears.

Once the war begins, it is difficult to catch the real La people off guard. The strength of the Angkor Dynasty is still quite powerful. Even if the army's combat effectiveness does not seem to be very strong, Sujevarmo II will not seem to sit idly by and watch the Song army stand firmly in the Siam Plain. If both sides really want to fight, they must not be underestimated.

"Everyone, everyone has seen the situation in Zhenla Kingdom. Although Suyavarmo II claimed to have 200,000 elephant soldiers, the elephant soldiers were vulnerable under the medicine powder and strong bows and crossbows. However, the area was vast and there were many Thai tribes. If you want to completely straighten it out, it would be a very trivial job."

"But you are not afraid of trivial matters, what you are afraid of is that you have no credit. This time, His Majesty is enthroned overseas, which is a great opportunity. How to grasp it is not children, just consider it yourself."

"As for the treatment issue, you don't have to worry. Whether it is Your Majesty or His Highness, they are not stingy and will not treat you badly. The spoils will be handled according to the old rules."
