I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 628: Colonial Implementation

"Welcome to His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire."

The King of Funan and all the officials knelt down and shouted in fear.

Li Zheng walked out from the imperial carriage and nodded: "Everyone stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The King of Funan and all his officials were terrified.

Li Zheng didn't say anything, just looked at the King of Funan with scrutiny.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"This is the national seal of our Funan Kingdom, and also the jade seal."

"This is the household register of my Funan population, and this is the register of my Funan army."

Even though the King of Funan was unwilling, he had to give up everything.

Although Li Zheng only brought 500 personal guards to the capital, the King of Funan was not stupid. If he dared to take action, his entire clan would definitely be exterminated.

"From now on, you will still be the king of Funan, but 70% of Funan's sailors will belong to the Tang Dynasty, and 30% will be distributed to your royal family."

"and…"

Li Zheng waved his hand and Zhao Ming immediately understood.

A dozen guards came, each holding a box.

"Foreign countries must be completely under my control, and only then will I be able to use them with confidence."

"This is true for the Shi Khanate and Nanzhao."

"All the dignitaries of the countries targeted by the Tang Dynasty's military force must do the same."

"Each of you take one pill, and I can still give you power. If you don't want to take it, you will die."

Li Zheng looked at the King of Funan and his officials in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.

Li Zheng would not trust any foreign race except his own confidants in the Tang Dynasty. No matter how loyal they appeared, Li Zheng would always be on guard.

No matter how respectful they acted, it was always superficial and Li Zheng could never truly trust them.

As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking.

The guards stepped forward and opened the box, revealing the bottle of Three Corpses Brain Pill inside. They then picked up the bottle and poured the pill into the box.

Hear your true words.

The King of Funan and his officials all looked hesitant.

"I don't want to repeat myself a second time."

"If you don't obey, you will die."

Li Zheng said coldly.

Don't give them any choice at all.

They want power and wealth, but don't want to be controlled by themselves. How can such a good thing be possible?
If Li Zheng hadn't established a colony, he wouldn't have used them.

"I sincerely obey the imperial edict."

The King of Funan sighed and stepped forward.

He picked up a Three Corpses Brain Pill.

Under the gaze of his former subjects.

Swallow the pill.

Seeing that the King of Funan had taken the pill, his officials naturally did not dare to disobey and began to take the pill one after another.

then.

Everyone who took the pill felt an unspeakable pain.

After letting them feel the pain, Li Zheng ordered Zhao Ming to give them the antidote.

"This pill needs an antidote to be suppressed once a month."

"This antidote is only available in our Tang Dynasty."

"If there is no antidote to suppress the poison, you can neither live nor die."

"Of course, I can also tell you that as long as you are loyal to me and the Tang Dynasty and do not do anything that goes against the Tang Dynasty, this poison will be equivalent to non-existence to you." "On the contrary, if you dare to betray me and the Tang Dynasty, this poison will make you wish you were dead, and the entire clan of the betrayer will be destroyed." Li Zheng said coldly.

Hear this.

The King of Funan and his civil and military officials all collapsed on the ground, terrified.

[Successfully control Funan and obtain a Xuan-level treasure chest. 】

As the King of Funan and his civil and military ministers surrendered, the system prompt sounded.

"One case at a time will be solved soon."

Li Zheng thought to himself.

These small countries in the southern border of the Tang Dynasty are too weak for the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is now not taking the approach of conquering territories, but taking colonial measures. The attack has become much simpler, and there is no need to govern anything. In the future, the Tang Dynasty only needs to arrange a few important officials to supervise.

And control over the military.

With the establishment of Funan.

The Tang army did not stop its advance, and the main force began to split up and head towards Siam.

However, Li Zheng is naturally not in a hurry. He is now handling some military and political affairs in the Funan Kingdom.

Time passed gradually.

"This imperial edict was sent to the Ministry of Works and handed over to Kaiji."

"This imperial edict was sent to the Ministry of Revenue and handed over to Qin Jiansheng."

"This imperial edict was sent to the Ministry of Rites and handed over to Chu Suiliang."

In the main hall of the King of Funan, Li Zheng wrote down three parts of the imperial edict, stamped it with the seal, and then handed it to Zhao Ming.

"I obey your order." Zhao Ming immediately took the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the trains of our Tang Dynasty have spread to all the cities in the north, while the progress in the southern prefectures is extremely slow. I am afraid it will take some time to build them to the southern border." Li Daozon suddenly said.

"Father-in-law, you want to experience riding a train around Nanjiang Prefecture, right?" Li Zheng smiled.

"When the capital was moved, I had the honor of going to Peking to watch the ceremony and experience the train. I took the train directly from Peking to the northern capital city, but it took less than three days on the train, and I arrived without any fatigue."

"This is the real weapon of my Tang Dynasty."

Li Dao Zong said with a smile.

"Then father-in-law, do you know the difference between the north and south of my Tang Dynasty?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

"The north is all plains, while that side is full of mountains." Li Daozon said.

"That's why."

"At present, I have approved the construction of new railway tracks in the north. In the south, only Yangzhou and a few other prefectures have plans, but they are slowly starting construction. A railway track from one city to another is at least hundreds of miles long, and the longest ones are even thousands or tens of thousands of miles long."

"It's not so bad in the north, as the plains are easy to build tracks, but there are too many mountains there, and it's very difficult to choose a site. According to the memorial from the Ministry of Industry, it might only take a few months to build a thousand-mile track in the north, but it would take years in the south."

"Haste makes waste in this matter."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"However, over the years, the Ministry of Industry's track-building skills have become increasingly advanced. Relatively speaking, building tracks in the south has become much simpler. Once they have a breakthrough in technology, they will naturally build tracks in the south."

"I have already given them a task."

"In the future, every prefecture in our Great Tang must be connected, and every city with a population of more than 500,000 must be connected."

"In addition, our Tang Dynasty colonies will also be connected by train, but this is also my future plan." Li Zheng smiled.

For the future of the Tang Dynasty, you have strict plans. Population, national strength, even weapons, electricity, all kinds of plans are planned based on industrialized countries.

This whole world is Li Zheng’s goal.

"Although the emperor is young, he has surpassed the emperor emeritus in terms of planning and strategy." Li Daozon said with a smile.

"I'm not young anymore. I'm almost 28 years old." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this.

Li Daozon was speechless.

The same went for Zhao Ming and Wu Yuanlong in the main hall.
