This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 855 Volume The Emperor's Heart
Tianzhu.

With the Khiti monks starting to threaten to massacre the city, the fall of India was already a foregone conclusion.

The Ming Dynasty was so brutal that no one expected it.

Of course, when the whole of India had no intention of resisting, there were still some extreme believers who resisted in various places.

This is normal.

It's not surprising.

In troubled times, heroes truly emerge.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Chengqian.

To be fair, he didn't like this place, either in his past life or this life.

It’s just that the status is different now, and the development of Ming Dynasty has reached a bottleneck.

It is difficult for the current Ming Dynasty to expand westwards, and only expansion southwards is in the best interests of the current Ming Dynasty.

"After crossing this river, we will reach the territory of Central India. Zhao Yan and his men are just across the river right now."

After hearing what Wu An said, Li Chengqian, who was riding on a horse, immediately picked up the telescope and took a look.

At this moment, Zhao Yan and others were already lined up to welcome them.

"During this southern expedition to India, Zhao Yan and his men have made invaluable contributions. They are all loyal and trustworthy officials of the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Chengqian sighed with emotion which was rare.

He knew very well that after this battle, these guys would be subjected to crazy revenge by the fanatical believers of India.

Don't think this is a trivial matter. Fanatics can do things that are often incomprehensible to ordinary people.

“Yeah, these guys are almost killing all the Indians.

That was a brutal killing that frightened all the tribes and forced them to surrender completely.

But can we really govern India like this?"

Wu An said this and also shook his head.

As the chief of the Ming Dynasty's biggest secret service, he naturally knew how angry India was towards the Ming Dynasty today.

Conquest by force can often only bring about temporary submission, but the hatred deep in one's bones cannot be suppressed.

"If I had been given a little more time, even one more year, I would have been able to handle the Southern Expedition better, even without bloodshed, but I don't have time..."

Li Chengqian was also quite helpless.

He knew very well that oppression would only lead to resistance, but what could he do?
Everyone thinks that he put a lot of pressure on Li Er, but who knows how much pressure Li Er put on him?
There is no way to explain this.

On the other side of the river, Zhao Yan and others were quite relaxed at the moment. Although they had killed a lot of people in Tianzhu this time, they finally conquered Tianzhu.

This is the most important thing for people like them.

As a general, how can you be called cruel when you go into battle and kill the enemy?

Allowing the enemy to kill their way into your own home and harm your compatriots is incompetence.

"This battle was so satisfying." Someone on the side said carelessly.

They are all veterans of the Resentful Army. It is no exaggeration to say that they have fought their way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"Alright, everyone, pay attention." Zhao Yan saw everyone's excited faces and immediately said, "His Highness has reached the other side of the river. At this critical moment, you all need to be careful. Tianzhu has been taken down, but those fanatics are still making trouble everywhere. You can't be sure that they will come out from some ghost place at any time. If His Highness is hurt, this battle will be in vain."

There is no doubt that in the eyes of these people, Li Chengqian's safety is the most important.

"Ah, Tianzhu is really a mess nowadays." Ihara Zhen said with emotion, "Those common people are happy to see us, but secretly they are praying for the safety of those fanatics. Can such Tianzhu really be used by our Ming Dynasty?"

He actually felt quite unhappy about it.

What is the difference between the people of India today and those of the past?
Sometimes, he didn't even know what the point of fighting this battle was.

There is always a sense of déjà vu that the dragon slayer god eventually becomes the evil dragon.

“You, you don’t understand…” Zhao Yan looked around and saw that everyone was confused, so he said, “Tianzhu must be fought, and it must be under our control.

Not to mention that there are already numerous factions within the Ming Dynasty and conflicts are emerging. The Ming Dynasty needs this war to unite internally.

Not to mention the Ming army, everyone is eager for military merit.

Just talking about the Tang Dynasty's southern expedition, our Ming Dynasty had no choice but to go south to India."

"Why is that?" Ihara Zhen heard this and said in confusion, "The Tang Dynasty's southern expedition has little impact on our Ming Dynasty, right? It's just that the Tang Emperor feels that he has made no achievements in many years, and now that the time is right, he is heading south?"

"How could it be as simple as you think?" Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "Just think about it, if the Tang Dynasty conquered the Pyu Kingdom, who would be the biggest threat?"

"Of course it's East India." Ihara Zhen didn't even have to think about this question. After such a long period of expedition to the south, it was impossible that they had not studied the geomancy map.

"It's not just East Tianzhu, to be precise, it's the entire Tianzhu." Zhao Yan added, "Look at the previous Tianzhu movies, where did those unwilling people flee to?"

"Pyu Kingdom?" After hearing Zhao Yan's explanation, Yi Yuanzhen seemed to understand, "General, what you mean is that if we hadn't taken over Tianzhu in advance, the Tang Dynasty might have taken action against Tianzhu after taking over Pyu Kingdom?

And thus force Tianzhu to go north?"

"It's not a possibility, it's a necessity." Zhao Yan sighed and said, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has always been on guard against the Ming Dynasty.

So, we were forced into this battle.

If we don't fight, the Tang Dynasty will force India to pose a threat to us.

War, it always only considers one's own interests..."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

They were all reckless men and had never thought about the twists and turns involved. If Zhao Yan hadn't explained it, they would never have even thought about it.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Yan was willing to explain to them was that he had discovered some recent changes in the military.

"General, His Highness and the others have crossed the river." At this moment, someone hurriedly said.

Zhao Yan picked up the telescope, took a look, and immediately said, "Let everyone cheer up. If those fanatics dare to cause trouble at this time, no one will be spared!"

He actually knew that whether he dared or not was all nonsense, it mainly depended on whether those guys received the message.

But he was not too worried. They had made a lot of arrangements early in the morning, and His Highness had the spy chief Wu An by his side, who knew more than they did.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Yan led his men towards the temporary dock.

Soon, Li Chengqian landed with the support of the army.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied when he saw Zhao Yan. This guy was one of the first people to follow him, and he had made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty over the years.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Li Chengqian said with a smile, patting Zhao Yan on the shoulder.

"As a soldier, it's not that hard to fight for a place." Zhao Yan also smiled, but he was quite sad when he said this. "But the governance of Tianzhu will not be so smooth in the future. It's all because I and others didn't execute the original battle plan of Your Highness."

"It doesn't matter. In war, things change rapidly. As long as the result is good, the process is not important." Li Chengqian didn't mind much.

He had never expected to conquer India as he had conquered the countries in the Western Regions.

After all, the two are different.
