Chapter 762 King Sun's Ambition
The Indochina Peninsula is located at the intersection of China and India, sandwiched between the two civilizations, so it is bound to be influenced by the two civilizations.

The land close to China is naturally influenced by Chinese civilization, while the southwest of the Indochina Peninsula shows a trend of Indianization.

From the perspective of religious beliefs, the countries on the Indochina Peninsula generally believe in Theravada Buddhism from India, and some believe in Christianity from the Middle East.

The country that believes in Confucianism is actually only Vietnam, so Vietnam calls itself "Tiannan Zhonghua", which is much more arrogant than North Korea's "Little China". Like Japan, it regards itself as "China" and "China".

Before the arrival of Western colonists, Vietnam and North Korea were basically written in Chinese characters. History books and classics were recorded in Chinese characters, which can be regarded as an extension of Chinese civilization. Even Japan has been greatly affected.

If we look at the time longer, it is not limited to 200 years. From Emperor Yan and Huangdi, to Xia, Shang and Zhou, to Spring and Autumn, after the war, to the unification of Qin and Han, the Chinese civilization has continuously radiated influence from the Yellow River Basin. Assimilating the Yangtze River Basin, crossing the Lingnan, assimilating Baiyue, and still assimilating the southwestern barbarians in the Ming Dynasty.

In places like Vietnam and North Korea, the degree of Sinicization is already quite high. If it continues to develop, it may become a part of China.

It is a pity that China was in decline and the Han people were conquered by the Manchus. The Han people became inferior people and served as slaves to the Manchus. Naturally, no one will continue to worship you.This caused the influence of Han culture to gradually shrink, coupled with the rise of the West and the rise of nationalism, interrupted this assimilation.

In Gaoping City, in the palace of the Mo Dynasty, Sun Kewang was wearing armor and a helmet with phoenix wings on his head, holding the handle of the knife with his hand, leading Liu Zongmin, Ai Nengqi and others, walking in the palace.

To be honest, the palace is far from being able to compare with the royal palace in the Central Plains, at most it is at the level of the Houfu.

However, Sun Kewang was a little surprised, because he found that Gaoping City was no worse than Yunnan, and its population and wealth far surpassed most cities in Yunnan and Guizhou.

At this time, everyone walked into the palace. The buildings inside were all in Chinese style, and they didn't feel like they were in a foreign country.

Sun Kewang walked into a large hall, which was supported by twelve mahogany beams and pillars. There were couplets with Chinese characters on the pillars. On the top of the hall was a plaque with three Chinese characters "Qiancheng Hall" written on it. The big lacquered chair is the throne, and behind the throne is a huge nanmu screen, which is also densely packed with Chinese characters.

At this moment, Sun Kewang went to sit on the throne unceremoniously, touched the armrest of the chair, and said with a smile: "Not bad!"

"My lord, in terms of distance, the connection between Annan and the Central Plains is actually closer than Yunnan. If you take the sea route, you can reach Guangzhou in half a month. If you take the land route, the north is Guangxi, and the road from Yunnan is mostly rugged and long. A system of prefectures and counties close to the Central Plains has basically been formed here, while chieftains are still everywhere in Yunnan." Prime Minister Xu Yixian saluted.

Sun Kewang leaned his back on the throne, and couldn't help asking: "What is the origin of this Gaoping Mo family, a land with a lot of boogers, so rich."

Liu Zongmin also said: "Don't everyone say that the south is a barren land, why does it look okay?"

Xu Yixian explained: "The Mo clan in Gaoping was usurped by powerful ministers. They took the throne of the Li clan in Annan, and then they were defeated by the Li clan regime. If it weren't for them to sit and eat, the money and food that the king can get, I'm afraid it will be more."

As he spoke, he paused, and then said: "This Annan is the Jiaozhi County established by the Qin Dynasty. For more than a thousand years, under the influence of the Central Plains, most of the land has been developed, and the rice is double-cropped and triple-cropped. It is considered a rich place. In the south of Annan, there used to be Champa, Chenla and other countries. Champa rice came from there, and it was recorded before the Song Dynasty. Since there was a country hundreds of years ago, it should be developed to the present. It won’t be a deserted place anymore.”

Xu Yixian didn't know a lot. Annan was close to China, so he could know a little bit. If it was as far away as Champa, Chenla and other countries, he didn't know at all.

Sun Kewang narrowed his eyes, as if he was interested, "This king now occupies Gaoping. If you continue to the south, you will find the Li clan, and then go south to Champa and Chenla? The Li clan defeated the Mo clan and occupied the entire Annan. Are you richer than Mo's?"

Xu Yixian was taken aback for a moment, understood Sun Kewang's thoughts, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, the land of Annan is not easy to control. Daming also occupied this place back then, but he couldn't make ends meet, so he had to evacuate in the end. Although Annan was influenced by the Central Plains, the Central Plains The culture, education and governance system of China have all taken root here, but since the end of Tang Dynasty, Annan has gradually separated from the control of the Central Plains, and with the help of the Central Plains culture, he has formed a centripetal force, which is difficult for outsiders to conquer."

Sun Kewang didn't take it seriously, "So what, it's just a small booger country!"

Xu Yixian said, "Your Majesty, after reading some of Mo's books, I found that Annan actually imitated the Central Plains and established a tribute system centered on himself. They bowed their heads to the Central Plains Dynasty, but outside the eyes of the Celestial Dynasty, they regarded the Emperor as the emperor." Self-proclaimed, using their own reign title, and treating the surrounding barbarians with the idea of ​​Yixia Dafang. They think that they are "Tiannan Zhonghua" and want to educate the surrounding people. Follow the example of the Central Plains Dynasty and let the surrounding tribes submit to them. Regular tribute has formed a tribute system. Moreover, their tribute system is different from the tolerance of the great powers of the Central Plains Dynasty. Their tribute system often uses force to coerce the other party to become their own vassal, and then annex the vassal state step by step , which is completely different from the Central Plains’ love for tributary countries and their distance!”

Xu Yixian continued: "It can be seen from this that Annan has formed a self-centered thought, and this kind of place is often difficult to conquer."

Sun Kewang frowned, stroked his beard, but his eyes gradually shone brightly, and whispered in his mouth: "Tiannan Zhonghua, the tribute system, educate the surrounding~" Suddenly Sun Kewang slapped the armrest on his thigh, and said happily: "This matter This king should do it!"

Annan began to pay tribute to the Central Plains from the former Le Dynasty, and at the same time imitated the Central Plains Dynasty, established a tribute system, and educated the surrounding barbarians.

Of course, the Champa people and the Khmer people must have something to say about this, it is not enlightenment at all, but naked aggression, but Annan did use this method to occupy the coastal city of Champa and drive the Khmer people out of the Mekong River The Delta State has achieved the control and enlightenment of these places, and erased the culture of the original ethnic groups, allowing them to integrate into Annan and become a part of Annan.

Historically, during the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam, their tributary system reached its peak, and as many as thirteen countries paid tribute, and the Nguyen Dynasty’s "Da Nan Shi Lu" even directly referred to the Chinese as "Qing people", while the Vietnamese stately recorded it as "Qing people". "Han people" and "Han people", and want to assimilate Chenla people with "Han style".

Xu Yixian's original intention was to persuade Sun Kewang not to fall into Annan and avoid repeating the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that his words opened up a way of thinking for Sun Kewang. If the emperor of the Central Plains could not do it, it would be good to be the emperor of Tiannan first.

In an instant, Sun Kewang came up with an idea to establish his own tributary system based on Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi, to fight against the Central Plains, and to fight for the world when the time is right.

At this time, everyone in the main hall was startled by him.

Sun Kewang came back to his senses, and seeing Xu Yixian and others looking at him, he immediately stood up from the throne, his eyes gleaming, and he walked towards the crowd with a big smile, "Haha~ Come on, everyone, come here, today the king is going to meet with you!" Tell me about your ambitions~~~~~~"
