Chapter 1089 Zhou Kingdom's Ambition

After the battle of Shaoguan, the strength of the Zhou army was greatly damaged, and Yungui was lost one after another, and it shrank to Annan, shrinking its territory by half.

However, concentration is the essence. After Zhou Jun withdrew from Yunnan and Guizhou, Sun Kewang was able to gain a firm foothold in Annan.

There are roughly two forms of government existence, one is public and the other is private.

The government treats the people under its rule equally, so its system is mostly biased towards the public, and the regime is only to protect the interests of some people, so the regime must be biased towards private.

Any selfish regime, or a dictatorial regime or a colonial regime, needs a force behind it to support it.

If a regime with selfish motives is to be maintained, supported, and continued, it must have reliance, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the resistance of the people of the world.

Just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, behind him was the support of all Manchurians, and the foreign regimes of the Mongol Yuan and Jin Kingdoms, whose rule was based on selfishness, were also supported by the entire ethnic group behind them.

If a selfish colonial regime wants to maintain its rule, there must be some people behind it who strongly support it, so that it can maintain its rule.

Any dictator also has a specific group that supports his dictatorship.

The Yuan, Mongolian and Manchurians both had the support and help of a whole group of Mongols and Manchurians, and the Yuan and Qing regimes also deliberately supported the Mongols and Manchurians, forming a community of mutual needs.

This kind of regime is full of selfishness, because the system formulated by selfishness is also full of selfishness.

In contrast, in the Han regimes of all dynasties in China, there was no fixed force behind the emperor to support the emperor.

Honorary relatives, eunuchs, military officials, and the royal family can support the emperor, and they may also be transformed into rebellion and usurpation forces. Therefore, even the Ming Dynasty, where the imperial power was strengthened, could hardly implement dictatorship for a long time.

The only ones who supported the emperor were the scholars. The scholars were all educated. The scholars supported the emperor out of a public mind, and the scholars were not a fixed group. Therefore, the Han regimes in all dynasties were all public, which was very different from the Qing Dynasty.

However, Sun Kewang's Zhou regime is different from the Great Wei, and also different from the Han regimes in the Central Plains in the past. At the beginning of its establishment, it was partial.

Because Sun Kewang has the support of the Han people in the entire Zhou Kingdom behind him, forming a partial regime like the Qing Dynasty.

The Han people in the surrounding territory supported Sun Kewang's rule, and Sun Kewang brought them benefits.

After the defeat in Shaoguan, the Zhou regime became very unstable in Annan and other places. However, as the Zhou army abandoned Yunnan and Guizhou, a large number of Han people poured into Annan, and the Zhou regime immediately became stable.

In the past three years, Sun Kewang suppressed the domestic rebellion, re-recruited the army, conducted training, and restored the strength of the Zhou army to 20, which has already gained some strength.

Originally, he was capable of continuing to expand, but the powerful Wei regime in the north overwhelmed Sun Kewang.

Although Gao Yihuan canonized Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang was still worried and did not dare to deploy his troops to the south and west. Instead, he was on the front line of Vietnam and North, defending against the Wei army's attack.

Sun Kewang is very clear that once he reveals his flaws, Gao Yihuan will definitely attack Da Zhou without hesitation, so in the past two years, he can only watch the Toungoo Kingdom, which was severely damaged by him, slowly recover its strength, and watch the Dutch Just by guarding Malacca, you can earn huge wealth.

Now Sun Kewang finally waited for a chance to make a move. Gao Yihuan was busy with Wei's internal strife, and Wei's army was restrained in the southeast. He could finally take revenge.

In the main hall, the civil and military ministers of the state of Zhou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sun Kewang's words, and then began to discuss excitedly.

At first, everyone thought that Sun Kewang was going to take the opportunity to attack Wei Guo, and they were taken aback. Seeing that he was not attacking Wei Guo, but Dongyu, they all became excited.

When everyone was happy, Xu Yixian pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Dongyu is a vassal state of Wei State, and our division is unknown! Besides, if we attack Dongyu, it is tantamount to breaking with Wei State. What if Gao Yihuan sends troops?"

Sun Kewang frowned slightly, "What reason do you need to beat Dongyu?"

Da Zhou was originally a colonial regime, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when it saw something good, it would conquer it and occupy it. It didn't need to be famous at all, it just robbed land, people and resources.

In the early years, Emperor Sun was a bandit doing this. Now that he established the Great Zhou Kingdom and became the emperor, his business has grown a bit, but the essence has not changed.

However, Dongyu is a vassal state of Wei State, and directly attacking Dongyu is really tantamount to turning against Wei State.

Even if Gao Yihuan has no time to deal with him now, after Gao Yihuan finishes handling the family affairs, he will definitely have to practice with him.

Xu Yixian's words also made many Zhou ministers hesitate.

Sun Kewang was poured with cold water and was a little unhappy, "What does the prime minister mean? Are you letting me let go of such a golden opportunity?"

Xu Yixian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity, and it really shouldn't be let go, but I think it's best for Dongyu to initiate the war, and then we will send troops."

Sun Kewang snorted coldly and said domineeringly, "King Dongyu has the guts to provoke me on his own initiative!"

Although Sun Kewang was beaten badly in the Central Plains, he was a bully in Southeast Asia and had no opponents.

Three years ago, if the Wei army hadn't gone south and Zhu Cihong asked him for help, he sent troops to reinforce Nanming, and he would have taken the opportunity of defeating the main force of the Dongyu army in Dacheng to destroy the Dongyu country in one fell swoop.

Whenever Sun Kewang thinks of this matter, he regrets it. If he hadn't saved Zhu Cilang, who was an idiot, the Great Zhou Empire would have unified the Indo-China Peninsula long ago.

Xu Yixian said: "Since the defeat of Dacheng, King Dongyu has recruited troops, and he is obviously unwilling to fail. Now that Dongyu's strength is not as good as that of Dazhou, Dongyu really dare not take the initiative to provoke, but if His Majesty creates a way for him to turn defeat into victory and regain the lost land Given the opportunity, King Toungoo will definitely be tempted."

Sun Kewang frowned and said, "How do you create this opportunity?"

Xu Yixian said: "I think your Majesty should attack Malacca first. This place is not a vassal of Wei State. Wei State will not pay attention to this place. Da Zhou's attack will not attract the attention of Wei Jun. Your Majesty will throw his troops to the south. Dongyu must think that Annan is empty, and Dongyu must think that Annan is empty. It is very likely that King Yu will attack Dacheng again. Firstly, he will recover the lost ground, and secondly, he will cut off the return route of the army entering Malacca. As long as Dongyu attacks Dacheng first, then His Majesty will have a reason to send troops, and Wei Guo has no way to say anything. .”

"Malacca is rich and guards the main sea routes. It would be great if we can get this place." Sun Kewang nodded slightly, and then said: "It's just that, in this way, we will be caught in a two-front war, and Malacca belongs to the red-haired barbarians. The sphere of influence, once the war starts, can Da Zhou win."

Xu Yixian said: "Your Majesty, the Malacca Khanate has no more than ten thousand soldiers, the Hongmaoyi only has a thousand soldiers, and the Great Zhou has 20 soldiers. They are fully capable of going to war."
