Data collected over the past year or so has shown that Java Island is already inhabited by people, and it is not just a group of indigenous people living a primitive life like Mayi Island, but a group of countries that have evolved into a semi-feudal society. It is known as the country of a thousand islands, but in fact, the number of islands in Java is not just a thousand, but tens of thousands! Nowadays, the most developed country on the island of Java is a country called Srivijaya, which has basically entered the stage of feudal society! The maritime transportation, economy and culture of Sanfoqi are relatively developed. As early as the reign of Taizu, Sanfoqi had paid tribute to the Song Dynasty. For more than a hundred years since then, Sanfoqi has continued to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty. He had a good tradition and was officially canonized by the Song Dynasty during the reign of Shenzong, with the title of General Baoshun and Muhua. In fact, even though the Song Dynasty was basically in decline in the battle against the northern nomads, the Song Dynasty's reputation overseas was still quite resounding! The reason why Li Jun, a hero from Liangshan and a dragon from the Yangtze River, was able to easily become the leader of Siam is certainly related to Li Jun's high strength, but it is also related to the great influence of the Song Dynasty among the countries in the East and South China Sea. At that time, small countries such as Siam, Fusang, and Chenla admired Han culture very much. Whenever a Song Dynasty fleet and caravan passed through the country, the residents of these countries would definitely arrange for the youngest and most beautiful women from their tribes to go there. Go to bed! This is not selling money, but a completely free service! What¡¯s even more amazing is that such an experience is often promoted by the woman as the glory of her life. A woman who once slept with the Han people will definitely be competed by wealthy families. "And if this woman can become pregnant with Han blood, her offspring will definitely be made the head of the family of the subsequent owner. The locals respectfully call this kind of family with Han blood "Huafu". It is precisely because of this inexplicable influence that the Song Dynasty has always enjoyed tribute from overseas countries! The Three Buddhas of Qi tirelessly devoted more than a hundred years of hospitality to the Song Dynasty. His regime was finally recognized by the Song Dynasty. Many people in the Song Dynasty also learned from this that there is such a country called the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom in the south of the sea! According to the official data available from the Song Dynasty, on the Java Islands, in addition to Srivijaya as the main body, there are also more than ten slightly larger vassal states, such as Luzon and Wildebeest. There are thousands of remaining nameless islands and countries! There are more than 10,000 islands in the Java Islands. The sea stretches across thousands of miles, and the combined population of each country is conservatively estimated to be in the millions. If someone could unify all the Java Islands and go all out with force, it wouldn't be a big problem to mobilize a million troops! However, it is precisely because the sea territory is too vast and the number of islands is too large that to this day, a unified political power has not emerged on the Java Islands. Even so, the cultural development of the Javanese countries is pretty good. As early as the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid the war, many people in the Central Plains crossed the sea to the south. Some fled to Siam, Chenla and other places, while others continued southward from Siam and arrived on the island of Java inexplicably. Correspondingly, Chinese civilization also began to spread on the Java Islands. In addition, as an island country, overseas trade has naturally become a key development industry for the Javanese countries. After several twists and turns. The Javanese countries did business with the Song Dynasty in the north and the Asan Kingdoms on the Asan Peninsula in the west. In this process, a major religious organization on the Asan Peninsula. Buddhism was also introduced to the Java Islands. In fact, at this time, Buddhism had begun to decline in the Asan Peninsula and was gradually being completely replaced by the traditional religion Brahmanism. ??This is because after Sakyamuni, Buddhism has no leader as amazing and talented as Sakyamuni. It is also related to the teachings of the Bald Cult. Buddhism advocates abstinence, while Brahmanism advocates indulgence. From this point alone, it is destined that Buddhism will not have as wide an audience as Brahmanism! In addition, Sakyamuni also proposed that childbirth is the enemy of spiritual practice. It is advocated that all bald people should not participate in labor and just beg for food! This is okay for believers. It is always good to be able to stop working, but they are destined to be disliked by the rulers! It¡¯s okay for us officials not to work, but if the common people don¡¯t work, then who will the government look for to collect taxes? Therefore, after Sakyamuni, the Asan Peninsula of Buddhism tended to decline. Who would have thought that flowers blooming inside the wall will be red outside the wall! Although Buddhism declined in the Asan Peninsula, three major sects were formed in the Java Islands, Tubo and the Han Dynasty in China. Needless to say, Tubo¡¯s Tantric Buddhism has always been the state religion of Tubo. ??????????????????????Buddhism in the imperial court blossomed in all directions, giving rise to a large number of sects such as Zen Buddhism and Pure Land Buddhism. There were even examples of vassal states like Dali positioning Buddhism as the state religion. And the third major branch of Buddhism is Javanese Buddhism! Because Srivijaya, the largest country on the Java Islands, uses Mahayana Buddhism as its state religion! With the strong support of the government, at its peak, there were thousands of monks in the Three Buddhas Kingdom alone! You must know that although the Java Islands have a large population, that refers to the total number of the previous Java Island countries combined. As for the island where Srivijaya is located, it only has a population of tens of thousands. After integrating so much information, Yang Tiexin began to make a small calculation in his heart! If the country is not unified, then we can adopt the method of defeating them one by one. First, concentrate our efforts to destroy the largest Srivijaya in one fell swoop, then clean up the island countries one by one, and finally slowly unify the Java Islands. The only one who is a little bit troublesome here is the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom. Not to mention how many troops it has, since it adopts Buddhism as its national religion, it is very likely that there are some hidden masters of cultivation like Dali! This is something to pay attention to! In addition, the most troublesome thing is that Java Island is too far away from Yingzhou! Even if we take Mayi as a springboard, the distance is still not close! It¡¯s not that far from Yingzhou to Mayi. As long as you choose the right direction, it¡¯s only six to seven hundred miles by sea. But Mayi Island itself is extremely long, stretching for thousands of miles! ¡° If you add in the hundreds of islands attached to it, there will be only three to four thousand miles of sea! From the Mayi Islands to the Java Islands, there are thousands of miles of sea in between! From the islands affiliated to Java to the main island of Java, it is also a journey of thousands of miles! The most important thing is that there are no detailed sea maps for this generation of sea routes! Although the Song Dynasty officials have many records about overseas affairs, they even have records about the Dashi religion. Most of the records related to Sicily and Mount Etna in the country of Sgarino (Italy) are just superficial mentions. Moreover, most of the trade between Java and the Song Dynasty was carried out through the Chenla Kingdom and northward across the Qiongzhou Strait to Quanzhou, because this route was basically close to the coast. As for the direction of Yingzhou, it only records the Xiying Islands! There are few records of Yingzhou further south! So, let¡¯s take the route from Yingzhou to Java via Mayit. Only Yingzhou Island can develop its own routes and survey and map the sea! In view of this, Yang Tiexin did not wait for the weapons factory to develop the firearms. Instead, within a few days of taking the throne, he hurriedly led his fleet to the sea and headed south, first to occupy Mayi Island. The process of occupying Mayi Island was very smooth, because the indigenous people here had been wiped out by the Yingzhou Army many years ago! It's just that the climate here is too hot and the Yingzhou Army is a little uncomfortable with it, so they can't stand firm here. Now with the repeated expansion of Yingzhou Island Medical College. With the rapid development of the medical industry, the simplest health work such as relieving summer heat is no longer a problem! In addition, the popularity of cotton and various loose clothes, especially short-sleeved clothes, has also made the Yingzhou Army better adaptable to hot weather! After 30,000 troops and a considerable number of civilians landed on Mayi Island, Yang Tiexin led people to carry out village and town construction here, and at the same time sent people to Yingzhou Island to deliver messages in preparation for relocating the population to Mayi Island! at the same time. Yang Tiexin did not forget to send a large number of ships to the east and south to gather intelligence and survey and map the sea. Although Yingzhou Island has a hot climate, you can still roughly feel the seasonal changes. As for farming. Although it can be planted in all seasons, if you farm contrary to the farming season, the yield will still be reduced! But Mayi Island is very different! Here there is almost no difference in the four seasons throughout the year, and farming is basically not affected by the seasons! So, after temporarily settling down on Mayi Island. The first thing Yang Tiexin arranged was farming! After struggling for nearly a month and planting millions of acres of rice fields, Yang Tiexin breathed a sigh of relief and began to arrange manpower to officially start village construction! By this time, three waves of survivors sent by Yingzhou Island had arrived one after another. The total number is nearly three hundred thousand! This is the result of not fully engaging in immigration in order not to affect the development and construction of Yingzhou Island! Relying on the advantage of the ship, it took Yingzhou Island nearly five months to finally roughly survey and map the location of the Java Islands, and successfully find the main island of Srivijaya. At this point, Yang Tiexin finally realized that the so-called Java Island was indeed not far from Siam, separated by only a strait. But it is thousands of miles away from Yingzhou Island. Even if we set off from Mayi Island, we have to pass through a quite large island country, Bo Ni Country. It is also an island country, but the island of Bo Ni Country is much larger, several times larger than Mayi and Yingzhou combined! Although the territory is not small, the population of the Bo Ni Kingdom is not that large, only more than 100,000 in total, and it is still in the stage of slave society, which is quite barbaric and ignorant! After receiving this chart, Yang Tiexin led the team again and went straight to Boni Country to kill. Since there are large and small islands along the way for supplies and rest, Yang Tiexin and his party did not encounter any big trouble and arrived at Bo Ni Island. Before the Bo Ni Kingdom came to their senses, Yang Tiexin had already marched his army straight into the capital of Bo Ni Kingdom. After all, it is a slave country, and the Balni Kingdom is still quite backward in all aspects. The so-called capital is actually just a slightly larger tribe, with a total of about ten thousand people, and there is not even a city wall! As a result, the Yingzhou Army captured the capital of Bo Ni and its leader without any effort! What amazed Yang Tiexin was that the leader of the Bo Ni Kingdom actually knew a few words of Chinese! After some questioning, Yang Tiexin found out that more than a hundred years ago, the then head of the Balni Kingdom had sent envoys to pay homage to the Song Dynasty! Although no more tributes were paid after only two visits, the business relations with China have basically been maintained! Therefore, there are quite a few people in the Balni Kingdom who understand Chinese, including the leader of the Balni Kingdom. "That's it! Since you care about Han culture, Yang can give you a chance! As long as you are willing to summon all the people from the fourteen states under his command to surrender, I can give you a chance to save your life, and even protect you It¡¯s not impossible to be rich all your life!
