Nangong Di has been a well-known admirer of Han culture since the last leader Nangong Gui. They have a deep understanding of the unification that has been popular since Confucianism in the Han Dynasty.
Although they are invaders in Funan, according to the people of Funan's urine, they will soon accept Nangong Di as the new superior.
No matter who comes to the big dye vat of Funan, they can bring them down to the same level as themselves, and then wait until a new wave of conquerors comes, just like laying bricks to catch up from behind.
Repeatedly like this, it is bound to never grow into a truly powerful force.
But if Nangong Di relies on his superior military power and learns the idea of unification of the Central Plains dynasty, it is very possible to turn these Funan city-states into a whole.
Liu Yu naturally did not want such a result, so he decided to send an envoy to Nangong Di Xuanwei to investigate first.
Just when Liu Yu was afraid that his butterfly effect would turn the bulk Funan into a monolith, the real owner Nangong Di had no such plan at all.
Funan Riverside.
This was once the birthplace of the ancient Funan civilization, and it was naturally the most fertile and rich place.
Since Nangong Di occupied the left bank of the Funan River, he has cultivated, grazed and multiplied the land.
After several years of migration, the tribe finally found a stable place.
Especially since last year, Funan King Aluo Xiangmangman married his daughter to Nangong Huang, and the two sides stopped fighting and ushered in peace.
Today, Nangong Di occupies an area of five thousand miles, which has far exceeded the territory in Liaodong back then.
Nangong Huang had already discussed with everyone and decided to establish a national title here, completely get rid of the influence of the Han Dynasty, and then concentrate on expanding his power towards Funan.
"My tribe originally lived in Liaodong, but it belonged to the land of Yan. It has gone through hardships and dangers for ten years. Now it has moved thousands of miles away. We should not forget the land of our ancestors. We should establish a country named Yan and set the capital here."
Nangong Huang, who was dressed in a gorgeous military uniform, was discussing with his tribe the plan of establishing a country.
Everyone unanimously agreed with the decision to name the country 'Yan'.
However, many people still disagree with the decision to form a country of its own after the founding of the People's Republic of China and no longer submit to the Han Dynasty as a vassal.
Among them was Nangong Han, Nangong Huang's concubine brother.
"In today's situation, our tens of thousands of tribesmen are simply too few. If we cannot communicate with the Han Dynasty through tribute and vassalage, if something happens, we may be in a desperate situation."
Nangong Han and others are still very vigilant about their situation.
Funan is densely populated, and Nangong estimates that there must be at least millions of people, which is dozens of times the number of soldiers and horses in Nangong's department.
With such a huge disparity in numbers, Nangong Han and others were afraid that they would be counterattacked in the future.
Therefore, as long as he can not offend the big man, he still has a potential helper.
If something happens to God Emei here in the future, you can take advantage of it.
"We are thousands of miles away from our homeland, facing wind and snow along the way, and it's not all Liu Yu's fault!"
"You've already gone to this place full of sluts and poisonous bodies, and if you're still so afraid of things, why do you want to build a country?"
Nangong Han's opinion immediately attracted a large group of opponents.
Since entering Funan, many people in the Nangong Department have discovered that their own force is so powerful.
The Mangman Dynasty often had several times its troops but could not do anything to them.
If it weren't for those dirty Funan people who often caused various plagues, which prevented Nangong Di from easily attacking the hot and humid southeast, he might have already invaded King Mangman's Huashi City.
It was precisely with this kind of self-confidence that Nangong Huang planned to establish a country.
Therefore, everyone was dissatisfied with Nangong Han's opinion. He finally escaped the control of the Han people and even rushed to continue to be a lackey.
I am simply dizzy from the heat of the rainy season in Funan.
Nangong Huang looked at a group of people besieging his concubine brother, feeling very proud and happy in his heart.
The soldiers and horses of the Nangong Department are basically composed of three parts.
In addition to the Liaodong headquarters inherited by Nangong Huang, there was also the merged Nangong Tuyuhun tribe, as well as the soldiers and horses in the hands of Nangong Han.
After a series of victories against the Mangman dynasty, Nangong Huang has accumulated enough reputation among various tribes to be able to command loyalty and obedience from all tribes.
Only his brother-in-law still wants to stand up against him at every turn.
Now that he is being opposed by a group of clan generals, he can completely establish his position.
Nangong Huang watched with a proud sneer in his heart.
Although my brother-in-law has some talents in military and political affairs, his ability to assess the overall situation is always several levels behind him.
The establishment of the Great Yan Kingdom was more than just giving Nangong Di a name.
But he wants to use this matter to establish his family's name in Funan Continent.
A Luo Xiang Mangman's level of repeated defeats earned him the title of 'King of Kings'.
Nangong Huang had already figured out through research that the entire Funan land was vast and thousands of miles away, and it was not inferior to the Central Plains land at all.
Moreover, the people of the country are obedient and docile, like lambs that have been tamed for many generations. As long as they stand up as a conqueror, they are enough to control them.
Siluke
Therefore, Nangong Han's plan to found a country and proclaim himself emperor will never waver, otherwise how will he deal with Mangman I, the 'King of Kings' to the east in the future.
Since the Great Yan State is to be established, it must rule the land and people from the Funan River in the south to the West Kunlun Mountains in the north.
Therefore, it is not enough to rely on Nangong Di's tens of thousands of soldiers. The Yan Kingdom must absorb enough local people to serve as officials and help the Di people rule the leaders of large and small feudal states.
In order to complete this plan, it is necessary to have sufficient financial resources to recruit these "leading parties".
Nangong Huang himself is now a pauper. Apart from a group of troops accustomed to looting everywhere, he has no accumulation of wealth at all.
However, this did not trouble him at all.
Because Nangong Huang has a money bag that has always been tried and tested, and that is his father-in-law.
The king of kings in the north and south of Funan, Aluo Xiangmangman I.
Nangong Huang immediately sent a delegation to deliver credentials to the Mangman Dynasty in Huashi City.
He told Aluo Xiang Mangman I that he would soon found the country of Yan and ascend the throne as emperor. He needed to build a new Yan capital on the Funan River. He asked Aluo Xiang Mangman I to give Qi the dowry that he had not given enough before. And the remaining part of the war reparations must be made up.
A 'dowry', a 'war reparations'.
This was all what Nangong Huang learned from the Funan counselors he recruited after he came here and followed the local customs.
"Emperor? What is emperor?"
Aluo Xiang Mangman I looked at the certificate of credence in his hand and was very puzzled by the title inside.
Here in Funan, whether it is the local black indigenous people or the foreign conquerors, they all call themselves kings or conquerors.
What is this emperor? No one has ever called him.
Is he still more popular than the 'King of Kings' himself?
Nangong Huang's envoy immediately explained to A Luo Xiang Mangman I what the 'Emperor' was.
After Aluo Xiang Mangman finished hearing this, his whole body felt bad.
If it weren't for the fear of the powerful force of these Di people from China, Aluoxiang I would have ordered people to kill these "blasphemers".
Because in the Funan people's world view, the boundary between mortals and gods is very strict.
As a Mangman dynasty that respected both Brahmanism and Shamanism, Aluoxiang Mangman I had such a distinguished status that he was a 'king of kings'.
A king, no matter how great he is, still belongs to the category of mortals.
However, what these Chinese people call the "Son of Heaven" blatantly defines themselves as the sons of God.
God, isn’t he just a god?
I am one of thousands of kings, no matter how big I am, I am still a mortal.
You are an emperor, you are directly a demigod!
There is no justice in this, it is simply blasphemous.
However, Aluo Xiang Mangman I could only suppress the strong dissatisfaction in his heart and accepted a letter of credence.
"Go back and tell your monarch that I promise to give him enough gold coins and the remaining debt as soon as possible, and I will also support his existence as an emperor."
Aluo Xiang Mangman suppressed the nausea in his heart and asked the envoy to take the message back.
The envoy of Nangong Ghost got the promise, and left very satisfied and arrogantly.
Today's Mangman Dynasty has been frightened by the Nangong Ministry, and the envoy is not worried about Aluoxiang Mangman I going back on his word.
When Nangong Gui's envoy left, Aluo Xiang Mangman I left his orders and summoned his prime minister and others to discuss important matters.
"Honorable King, if all the gold coins, food and other reserves in the treasury are used to pay the Di people, then our finances will go bankrupt, and those palace guards and attendants may have to be dismissed."
When the prime minister of the Mangman Dynasty heard that the Di people came to ask for war compensation, he had to remind him with a grimace.
Aluo Xiang Mangman I sighed and said helplessly.
"These barbarians, after getting the land, want to stay there for a long time. They want our money to build a capital. If they don't agree, they may face endless wars again."
"The barbarians in the Wenjia area have just ceased fighting, and the entire kingdom has just breathed a sigh of relief. If there is another war, it may not be as simple as financial bankruptcy."
Aluo Xiang Mangman I only unified Northern Funan, and there were many Cypriot kingdoms in the territory near the southern plateau.
Compared with the outsiders, the Cypriot kingdoms who were very familiar with the Mangman dynasty were bigger enemies.
Once they find a loophole, it will cause huge losses to the kingdom.
"But if we feed these evil wolves, how will we feed the army?" asked the prime minister of the kingdom.
"Then increase taxes and increase the head tax by half!" Aluo Xiang Mangman I said.
The prime minister thought for a while and felt that there was no other good way but to do as he was told.
Anyway, for the rulers of the kingdom, raising the poll tax by half is just a matter of words. The poor people who are really forced to have no other choice are inferior people like ants.
Lower class people are born to contribute to noble people like them, not only to dedicate taxes and labor, but also to dedicate their lives when necessary.
Only by devoting yourself to the noble ones in this life can you be reborn as a noble person in the next reincarnation.
If you dare to resist, just wait until you become a beast for the rest of your life.
The people in the entire kingdom are almost all soft persimmons. A mere tax increase will not be able to trouble the powerful men of the Mangman Dynasty.
However, Aluo Xiang Mangman also knew that this was not a long-term solution.
Those Di people are too greedy and will definitely not let them go easily.
Especially when the capital of the Di Empire on the Funan River is built, it will be even more convenient for them to come to the Mangman Dynasty to extort money.
Therefore, Aluo Xiang Mangman I called the prime minister and others here just to discuss a way to drive away these dissidents.
"Your Majesty, these barbarians are so strong and brave that even your Majesty's noble warriors cannot defeat them. I am afraid that except for the Kingdom of Persia, no one around us can be our reinforcements."
A minister from the Mangman Dynasty said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
To the west of Funan is Persia, a thousand-year-old country.
It is also the 'world's most powerful country' in the eyes of Funan people.
The Mangman Dynasty monarch of the Funan people was known as the "King of Kings", while the monarch of the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia was known as the "King of Kings".
With such similar and popular titles, there is no room for two tigers in a mountain.
Therefore, the idea of letting the Sasanian Persians help the Funan people drive away the Di barbarians is basically impossible to realize.
Just when everyone was frowning, the wily old prime minister suddenly had an idea.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the invaders in the Wenjia area also claimed that they came from the East?"
A Luo Xiang Mang Man I nodded, "Yes, those invader leaders from Wenjia seem to be called Gou Xi?"
Aluo Xiang Mangman I spoke with a strange accent, and the names of those Eastern Chinese people are always so convoluted and difficult to remember.
"I heard that the tactics used by the Central Plains people in Wenjia are similar to those of these Di people?" the old prime minister asked again.
"Yes, the Orientals in Wenjia are also good at riding, shooting and charging. However, the dense waterways in Wenjia prevent them from galloping around like the Di people. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the blessing of Lord Shiva, otherwise the kingdom There are terrible enemies on both sides, and there is really no way to deal with them.”
A Luo Xiang Mangman I put his hands together and prayed silently in his heart.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, why don't we use Wenjia's barbarians to resist these Di people. Anyway, they are all from the Eastern Central Plains. They can die as many as they want." The old prime minister said sadly.
Starting more than a thousand years ago, groups of conquerors invaded the Funan subcontinent from the northwest. The various kingdoms on the subcontinent almost never succeeded in resisting.
The days of abundant food and clothing have gone too long, and where are the new barbarian opponents.
But now there are invasions on both the east and west ends of the kingdom. If they can be allowed to attack each other, it will really be the best of both worlds.
"This method? Is it really possible?" Aluo Xiangmangman suddenly fell into hesitation.
After these two years of war and peace, Aluo Xiangmangman has become somewhat afraid of these intruders.
Who knows whether these two groups of invaders will join forces to deal with him?
What's more, the road from the land of Wenjia to the Funan River is far away, almost crossing the entire northern Funan continent. It is really difficult for him to provide supplies for such a long journey.
