Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1118

[Chapter 1118 Market]

sun is hot, and the killing on the battlefield is even hotter.

The Lancers smashed the Tianzhu soldiers like a torrent of steel.

The other Dasong infantry followed behind the cavalry, cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net.

Under the relentless attack of the Dasong army, Tianzhu soldiers surrendered in a large area within a short time.

The war ended after only three hours.

More than 100,000 Tubang soldiers died, more than 500,000 surrendered, 32 Tubang kings were captured, and only a few Tubang kings and a small number of Tubang soldiers escaped.

The amazing Warring States period made Qin Shan and Guan Tong unexpected.

“I didn’t expect us to overestimate them.”

After the battle, Guan Tong returned from Nancheng, facing Qin Shan, he complained.

“No wonder outsiders can easily rule this area.” Qin Shan also said with emotion.

According to his understanding, the high castes in Tianzhu are descendants of foreign ethnic groups, and the real Tianzhu people are actually those untouchables who are called untouchables.

The two sighed for a while, and then ordered people to bring the captured Tubang king up.

At this time, the Indians watching the battle on the walls of Calcutta also came out of the city.

Many of them are inextricably linked with the Tubang king, and many of them are even children and relatives of the Tubang king.

After all, if it is not a high caste, it is impossible to inherit the throne of Tubang king.

“Great General Qin Shan, please forgive their ignorance. Now they are terrified, and they will definitely become Da Song’s loyal servants in the future.” A young man from Tianzhu came to Qin Shan, clasped his hands together, and begged Qin Shan.

He served Governor Bolt at the Governor’s House.

After Dasong captured Calcutta, he chose to obey, served Qin Shan and Guantong, and served as a bridge between Dasong people and Tianzhu people.

At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, Ratti, the second son of the king of Megarabang.

This state is just two hundred miles west of Calcutta.

Under his persuasion, his father did not join the coalition army of the Tubang king.

“Then you tell them that my original request has not changed, and I will forgive them if I swear allegiance to our emperor Zhao Xu, otherwise our Dasong army will destroy their land and support the new king.” Qin Shan heard Yan, looking at Latti.

Lettie was clearly a man of the moment.

Although Qin Shan despises his character of adapting to the wind, he needs exactly such a person to rule Tianzhu.

“Please rest assured, General.” Latti smiled.

When the British came to Tianzhu, his country was the first to serve the British.

Therefore, during the years when Britain ruled Tianzhu, their Tubang profited the most.

At present, it can be said that it is the richest state in Tianzhu.

This time he took refuge in Da Song because he saw the situation clearly.

If they can get the approval of Dasong people, they will also get good benefits during Dasong’s rule of Tianzhu.

Turning around, he translated Qin Shan’s words to the Tubang kings.

It is different from the aggressiveness before the attack on Calcutta.

The present kings of the state huddled together like frightened chickens.

Dae-sung’s guns really freaked them out.

When the British arrived in Tianzhu, although they couldn’t fight, at least they could fight back and forth with the British, although the final result was a failure.

But this time, they had no power to fight back at all.

And that was what terrified them the most.

So, after Ratty’s words fell, they nodded quickly, vying to swear allegiance one by one.

Latti breathed a sigh of relief, and then relayed the meaning of King Tubang to Qin Shan.

“That’s about the same.” Qin Shan nodded.

Then he called a general and ordered him to go to Pyuman and report the latest situation in Tianzhu to the palace by telegram.

Six days later.

Zhao Xu learned about the war with Tubang.

Just as he expected, this decisive battle can be said to be a decisive battle.

From now on, Tianzhu Tubang will never have the heart to challenge Dasong again.

“The entire eastern region is under my Dasong’s rule. Dasong, Goryeo, Dongying, the five countries in the southeast and the southern regions, and now including Tianzhu, there are about 300 million people. This means that my Dasong has The market of 300 million people accounts for one-third of the entire world.”

At this time, Yang He was reporting Da Song’s foreign trade situation to Zhao Xu in the Imperial Study Room.

After Zhao Xu read the contents of the telegram, he said excitedly, and handed the telegram to Yang He.

“Tianzhu surrendered? Great, this is an area with almost the same population as Dasong. Moreover, Tianzhu is rich in cotton and is the most important source of raw materials for the British textile industry. Now it belongs to us, and our Dasong textile industry will be even more powerful. .” Yang He slapped his thigh, his face full of excitement.

Zhao Xu nodded.

The biggest limitation of the Dasong textile industry is cotton.

Especially after the thermal power plants in various provinces of Dasong have generated electricity one after another, the output of Dasong’s textile industry has increased rapidly.

This, in turn, created a shortage of raw materials, leading to high domestic cotton prices in Dasong.

Now, Dasong’s textile industry has the cotton supply from Tianzhu at once, and this problem has been solved.

High output, cheap raw materials, and Dasong’s high-quality and cheap cloth will impact all eastern countries and bring a steady stream of wealth to Dasong.

“However, due to the impact of our Dasong’s cheap cloth, it is said that the cloth of farmers in other countries in the East cannot be sold, and their complaints are boiling. After the quarrel was over, they quarreled again.” At this moment, Yang He seemed to think of something interesting, and said casually.

“The emergence of new things will inevitably lead to the demise of old things.” Zhao Xu shook his head.

With the development of Dasong industry, not only the traditional small-scale peasant economy of men farming and women weaving has been destroyed.

There are many other businesses that have been destroyed.

For example, the boatman who used to carry passengers across the river.

With the laying of reinforced concrete bridges on various rivers in Dasong, there are fewer and fewer places to go for boatmen.

The emergence of bicycles has caused bearers to lose a lot of business.

However, while the development of industry is destroying some jobs, it is also creating more jobs.

The unemployed in traditional industries have been absorbed into new ones.

Just like there are many more female workers in the textile factory.

However, it is also for this reason that Dasong needs to maintain industrial growth.

Only in this way can we continue to absorb the unemployed people in the old industry.

Once industrial development stagnates and mass unemployment comes, the country will be in chaos.

The fundamental thing to maintain industrial growth is the market.

This is also the reason why he wants to compete with the Western Turks for the sphere of influence.

The market controlled by others will not be surrendered unless you can provide them with more benefits.

Otherwise, they can only win their market through war.

After taking Tianzhu, Dasong has one-third of the world time.

Next, he’s targeting the remaining two-thirds.

Only the global market can nourish Dasong industry stronger.
