More interestingly, Zhanchengguo also presented 20 war elephants and 200 slaves specially trained to raise war elephants, and presented a national gift to the Great Emperor, thanking him for saving Zhanchengguo from danger.
The special arms in the tropical rain forest area of Southeast Asia are also quite novel to the Central Plains Dynasty.
Elephant running in the Central Plains can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty, when the Yellow River basin was in a tropical climate. Elephants were running everywhere. At that time, there were elephant soldiers in the Central Plains, and sometimes elephants were driven to charge each other when tribes fought for each other.
Now it’s gone
Moreover, the elephant soldier said that being strong is also strong. After all, it is a behemoth that naturally suppresses small creatures.
However, it is really easy to deal with it if it is easy to deal with it. Without the elephant soldiers in front of the artillery, it is simply a huge moving target, which allows the artillery to practice their shooting ability with high shooting accuracy
Su Yonglin personally watched the demonstration of the elephant war and watched the elephant slaves skillfully manipulate the elephants to carry out some tactical moves that they felt were very delicate.
There is indeed something to watch the elephant soldier war exercise with Su Yonglin. The generals all praised the elephant soldier’s ferocity. At the same time, it was pointed out that if there were no firearms, the elephants would be armored with conventional means of warfare. There was really no good way to stop this group of behemoths from advancing.
But with firearms, it will be different.
Su Yonglin accepted these gifts and then officially conferred the titles of Zou Yana, Dr. Jin Ziguang Lu, Yu Shichong, Zhu Guo, and King Zhan Cheng, and then gave the food city 6,000.
Because the name of a foreign monarch is conferred by the celestial ministers of the central dynasty, the central dynasty often confers the title to a foreign monarch according to the national practice, and then confers the title to a certain king to show that the foreign monarch is protected by the central dynasty, which means that he will be punished for not giving heaven.
Because there are not so many empty posts for Zou Yana, Su Yonglin found some good ones for Zou Yana from the Southern Song Dynasty official style. Anyway, this is not a practical thing. Just have a title.
Besides, Zou Yana is definitely the title of [King of Zhancheng], and he is absolutely happy to have this.
After conferring the title, the city-occupying country became the fourth official vassal country and the second vassal country after Korea. The city-occupying country will enjoy a series of benefits and bear a series of responsibilities.
For example, strategic statehood contained and eventually eliminated the important arms of the Lee Dynasty in South Vietnam.
Although it is said that South Vietnam is a big country and a younger brother, it is not uncommon for South Vietnam to win in the end.
Deal with the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties or the later Mongol and Yuan empires.
How arrogant and powerful the Mongol-Yuan Empire was at that time, sweeping across Eurasia with almost no rivals, but it achieved almost no commendable victory in the South Strategy. On the contrary, it also lost hundreds of thousands of troops several times and failed to achieve any results in South Southeast Asia.
Of course, there are many reasons, such as climate, logistics, morale and so on. These reasons are all very important, but it also proves from the side that it is never easy to completely defeat a well-organized state administration.
Su Yonglin is very confident. He is convinced that the battle effectiveness of the army is not always determined by the battle effectiveness.
Can get the help of occupying the city country to form a north-south attack situation on South Vietnam, and then the navy division will help the soldiers land from other directions to March on the third road, and the winning rate will increase greatly
Su Yonglin talked with the head of the Zhanchengguo diplomatic corps about this matter specially.
However, Su Yonglin means that he hopes to reach a strategic agreement with Zhanchengguo, and at some point in the future, he will help the country clean up South Vietnam. On this side, he directly hopes that the country can immediately attack South Vietnam, saying that they can send some military forces to help the big countries completely dry South Vietnam.
Big dad is so powerful that he can do it, right?
Anyway, the current army is close to Lingnan, and it’s easy to kill them directly, right?
Su Yonglin felt something about this.
"At present, there are still many things to deal with, and there are still many things to be solved in Lingnan. It is not the time to wage a face-to-face war or to completely clean up the Li court. At present, a little beating is the best result."
The envoy of Zhancheng was disappointed with this, but he did not dare to speak out against the big decision.
"Lee of South Vietnam has always been arrogant and bellicose. The Manchu dynasty was full of militants who invaded other countries everywhere and acted like barbarians. He acted as if he claimed to be the emperor of Great Vietnam. It was as disrespectful as China. In the past, Lee of South Vietnam coveted the territory of the Central Plains and was worried about the fact that he was not a minister in private."
Su Yonglin certainly knows what this guy and Zou Yana are thinking.
But fighting is not something that can be done with a pat on the head. Guangdong and Guangxi have just pacified and nothing has been completed. At this time, it is difficult for the South to crusade against the Lee Dynasty in South Vietnam to make mistakes that Zhao Guangyi once made.
Su Yonglin is not good at donkey-cart drift, nor is he as thick-skinned as Zhao Guangyi. I’m afraid it’s not to be ashamed and kill myself.
"It’s been a few years since South Vietnam’s Lee has been disloyal. In recent years, I haven’t heard any wind. Let’s see what they will do. I’ll send someone to ask Lee not to continue to move troops to South Vietnam. Just reassure your king."
"That … that if …"
"If Lee of South Vietnam speaks well, he won’t listen to the toast or drink nature, and he will let them know what it means to be a great country."
Su Yonglin’s words have reached this point, and there is nothing for the head of the ambassador to occupy the city. He has nothing to say, so he can wait for the country to act.
Moreover, Su Yonglin also said that if South Vietnam does not give it a big face, nature will let them know what it means to be a big country.
Obviously, great country demeanor = real soldiers
He had nothing to say. He saluted Su Yonglin again and thanked him. Then he took the people away and returned to Zhancheng to report to Zou Yana.
After they left, Su Yonglin sent several envoys to Shenglong City, the capital of South Vietnam, to express the emperor’s wishes to them and then see their reply.
If they promise to estimate, they will also take a rational approach, regard ideological issues as a big bow, and try to gain great recognition and formal independence.
