Chapter 1090
After the loss of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, the Great Zhou Kingdom still has a vast territory, including Annan, Champa, Nanzhang, Chenla, Siam and other places, that is to say, it includes all the land in the Indochina Peninsula except Myanmar and Malaysia.

However, among these lands, only Vietnam and Laos are directly controlled by Da Zhou, and many areas in the south are supported by local forces to assist in the rule.

This state is a bit like that after the Kingdom of Jin captured the Northern Song Dynasty, it supported the puppet Chu and Puppet Qi.

Sun Ke hoped to use them to rule the various ethnic groups in the Indochina Peninsula, to buffer the conflicts between them and the Han people, and through these puppet regimes, to obtain a lot of wealth, human and material resources, and use them by the Han people.

He used these resources to develop places such as Annan and Nanzhang that he directly controlled. After years of suppression and management by the Han people in these areas, the social order gradually stabilized, the anti-Han sentiments of the people eased, the places were highly Sinicized, and the foundation was solid. After that, they proceeded to abolish the next puppet regime.

Da Zhou stationed troops in the territory of these puppet regimes, interfered in politics, and extorted huge sums of old coins. In order to meet Da Zhou's requirements, these puppets often extorted and extorted money, which was unpopular with the people.

When Da Zhou wants to abolish them, the local people of all ethnic groups will not support the puppet regime, but will thank Da Zhou. Sun Kewang will be able to win people's hearts if he reduces and exempts taxes appropriately. It can be said to be quite cunning.

At this time, there were mainly two puppets of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one was the Ayutthaya Dynasty of Siam, and the other was the Kingdom of Chenla.

The Zhou army and the two puppet regimes have a total of nearly 30 troops, while Toungoo has only 15 people, and the Malacca Khanate in the south has only more than [-] people. The Zhou army can indeed fight.

After discussing with the ministers, Sun Kewang immediately made a decision, made a plan, decided to take action against Malacca, and planned to deal with Toungoo.

In the early morning, a rainstorm came unexpectedly, and the heavy rain like a bead curtain hit the dense forest.

This is the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula, a long and narrow area. An army of more than [-] people marched in the hot and humid jungle. Each soldier wore a bamboo hat and headed south quickly regardless of the heavy rain.

The general at the head of this army was Ai Nengqi, and Sun Kewang gave him an order to lead [-] elite soldiers to march south along the peninsula to conquer the Malacca area.

The Great Zhou Kingdom ruled the occupied area, and adopted a system similar to that of the Jin Kingdom, which had conquered Meng'an, and that one Mongol household in Mongolia managed multiple Han households. It could control a large area of ​​land with a small number of troops, and once the army occupied a place, it would be able to gain Huge benefits.

Inspired by interests, the [-] Zhou army marched forward to kill the Malacca Khanate.

Zhou Jun has been active in Southeast Asia for seven or eight years. The Han people who moved to Southeast Asia are mainly Han people from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi. They used to live in a climate similar to Southeast Asia, and have gradually adapted to the climate.

At this time, after many days of marching, the forward of the Zhou army arrived at Kelantan, an important town in the north of Malacca.

Since the Song Dynasty, maritime trade has gradually risen. The Tianfang people in Central Asia, with advanced navigation technology, came to the Song Dynasty for trade.

They came from the sea, passed through Malacca and some parts of Southeast Asia, and spread the Tianfang religion, which gradually affected the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula and various islands in the sea.

The area where the Great Zhou was active before was mainly in the northern and central parts of the Indochina Peninsula, where Confucianism and Buddhism were believed. This is the first time that Zhou Jun entered the sphere of influence of Tianfang Sect.

In the early morning, the rain that had been raging all night finally stopped, and the sky was cloudless and blue.

In the dense forest, a city appeared in front of Zhou Jun's scouts, with houses scattered around, and a domed white house in the middle was very conspicuous.

It is said to be a city, but it is actually a larger town without city walls. When people get up in the morning, men in hats and women in headscarves are heading to the domed houses, praying sincerely amidst the sound of bells and music.

In the whole city, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful. After praying, people are ready to go to work.

At this time, in the woods not far from the city, an army full of murderous intent is attacking silently, like a group of hungry wolves approaching their prey.

The crowd who came out of the city in the early morning were walking out when suddenly, with a "swoosh", a sharp arrow hit one person's throat, causing him to fall to the ground clutching his throat.

"Kill!" Ai Nengqi roared, and the soldiers of the Zhou army, holding rattan long swords, roared out of the jungle, and rushed into the city like an ape.

The residents in the city were unprepared, crying suddenly broke out in the city, men, women and children ran out of the room and fled in all directions, "bang bang bang" gunshots in the woods, the panicked residents were shot mercilessly by Zhou Jun kill.

The men in the city hurriedly picked up their weapons and prepared to fight desperately, but they were far from being the opponents of the elite Zhou army. They were beheaded by the Zhou army one after another.

In the white-roofed house, an imam lived. He was alarmed by the sudden shouts of killing and ran out of the house. He watched in horror as countless enemies rushed into the city and carried out merciless killings.

These are a few men who came running, panting and said softly: "Imam, hurry up, it's Zhou Jun who killed him!"

The Zhou army fought unannounced, and the imam's expression changed drastically, ignoring the massacred residents, and hurriedly fled south.

Zhou's soldiers found them and were about to chase them, but Ainengqi stopped them, "Let them go!"

~~~~~~
Toungoo, the capital of Burma, King Pindarik frowned as he read the letter from King Ayutthaya of Siam.

The Ayutthaya Dynasty in Siam was a puppet regime supported by the Great Zhou Empire. King Ayutthaya wrote a letter to King Dongyu, saying that the King of Great Zhou was going to abolish the King of Siam and rule Siam directly. Call on the king to unite against the Great Zhou Empire.

Moreover, King Ayutthaya also provided an important piece of information. The main force of the Zhou army marched south to Malacca, and the domestic forces were empty. As long as the Toungoo Kingdom sent troops, King Ayutthaya would respond with troops, and the Zhou army would definitely be defeated.

"Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't hesitate any longer!" King Dongyu's younger brother Bai Mang said excitedly, "If we send troops now, we will surely defeat Zhou's army, recover the lost ground, and avenge our revenge."

Bai Mang is brooding over the failures of the past few years, and he wants to revive the glory of the Toungoo Kingdom.

But King Dongyu said in a deep voice: "Zhou Jun once saved King Ayutthaya, will Siam really betray Zhou?"

Bai Mang frowned, he wasn't sure if King Ayutthaya really wanted to betray Zhou Guo.

At this moment, a Toungoo official came in and said urgently, "Your Majesty, the Malacca Khanate sent envoys to ask for help. The Zhou army has captured Kelantan and surrounded Pahang. Please reinforce us."

Bai Mang became excited when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, let's send troops!"
