Chapter 140 138. Conquering Southern South Asia
A few days later, Li Yongxuan selected [-] strong men from the Kingdom of Pandiya, organized them into an army, and cooperated with the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Kakatia, and the Kingdom of Zheluo to attack the Hoysara Dynasty.

The Hoysala Dynasty was originally attached to the Chaluqi Dynasty of Kalyana, and it was not until 1990 that it split and became independent. The capital is in Dols Mudra.

Once defeated the Yadava dynasty, and conquered parts of Tamil, it is the most powerful in South Asia.

Their temple architecture is magnificent, usually polygonal or star-shaped, very distinctive.

Before the end of the year, the king of the Hoysala Dynasty, Weina Senshawana, opened the gate of the capital and surrendered to the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, it was only more than two months.

The Hoysala dynasty, known as the most powerful in South Asia, was still no match for the powerful and fierce coalition forces and was heading for extinction.

In order to strengthen the control and management of the occupied area, Li Yongxuan dispatched a group of officials from the Kingdom of Heaven to take charge of governance and sent a small number of troops to ensure safety.

He let the Kakatia Kingdom and Jerro's troops kill all the royal nobles of the Pandya Kingdom, and let the reorganized Pandya Kingdom troops kill the royal nobles of the Hoysala Dynasty.

Killing these royal nobles is not only convenient for management, but also can deepen the contradictions between various countries, so that it will be difficult for Ah San to be monolithic in the future.

Not long after, Li Yongxuan selected another [-] strong men from the Hoysala Dynasty and reorganized them into an army.

While restoring the management order of the Hoysala Dynasty, he began to prepare to attack the Yadava Dynasty.

Now, apart from the Yadava Dynasty, the countries south of the Delhi Sultanate either formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Heaven or were completely conquered by the coalition forces.

Li Yongxuan arranged some officials in the conquered Pandya Kingdom and Hoysala Dynasty, and deployed [-] troops to ensure the rule of the occupied areas.

In fact, the morale of the Pandya Kingdom and the Hoysara Dynasty had been completely defeated by the Heavenly Army.

Not to mention after death.

They completely lost the courage to contend with the heavenly army. Thinking of the fierce artillery and muskets of the heavenly army, the people of the Pandya Kingdom and the Hoysala Dynasty were terrified.

[-] heavenly troops may not seem like a lot, but it is enough to deter Xiaoxiao. If someone really raises troops to make trouble, he must consider facing the suppression of the heavenly army.

He can't even fight with the power of the whole country. Now that the country is subjugated, who still dares to contend with the heavenly army?

The Yadava Dynasty was surrounded by the sea in the west, adjacent to the Delhi Sultanate in the north, and bordered on the Kakatiya Kingdom and the Hoysala Dynasty in the east and southeast respectively.

Knowing that the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Kakatia, and the Allied Forces of Jerome and Luo sent troops to wipe out the Kingdom of Pandya and the Hoysala Dynasty in just a few months, King Bhillama III of the Yadava Dynasty and the soldiers and civilians were very panicked .

While dispatching troops to defend important cities and coastal ports on the border, Bhillama III sent people to request an alliance with the Delhi Sultanate.

He knew that with the current strength of the Yadava dynasty alone, it was impossible to resist the onslaught of the coalition forces, and it was very likely that they would face the situation of ruining the country and family, and he did not care about the dispute with the Delhi Sultanate.

The Delhi Sultanate received the intelligence and started a debate.

Some people think that they should agree to send troops to help the Yadava Dynasty resist the coalition attack.

Some people think that the Delhi Sultanate has had a long-standing grievance with the Yadava Dynasty, and there is no reason to be thankless, sending troops to help the Yadava Dynasty, offending the Kingdom of Heaven, and the coalition forces...

Some people also think that the Delhi Sultanate will go to war with the kingdom of heaven sooner or later, and the Yadava dynasty will help fight against the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, and the winning rate will be greater.

Some people even suggested that troops should be dispatched immediately, taking this opportunity to carve up the Yadava Dynasty with the coalition forces to gain benefits...

The Delhi Sultanate was still arguing, so Li Yongxuan led hundreds of thousands of coalition forces to attack the Yadava Dynasty.

The Yadava Dynasty is stronger and has a larger area, but its strength is still significantly inferior to the Hoysala Dynasty, and even the Kakatia Kingdom will often invade.

Facing the more than 60 troops led by Li Yongxuan, the Yadava Dynasty had no way to contend.

After only persisting for more than a month, Dwagiri, the capital of the Yadava dynasty, fell completely, and the desperate Bhillama III had to lead his army out of the city to surrender.

As a result, the southern part of South Asia has become the territory of the kingdom of heaven, or allies.

At this time, it was already the end of January [-], and there were still a few days before the Chinese New Year.

While discussing meritorious service and offering rewards, Li Yongxuan asked his soldiers to rest and prepare for the decisive battle.

He vigorously promoted the language and culture of the kingdom of heaven in the occupied Ceylon, the Kingdom of Pandya, the Hoysala Dynasty, and the Yadava Dynasty, and encouraged his soldiers to combine with South Asian women, so as to achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yongxuan set out to integrate strategic resources across South Asia, collect intelligence, and prepare for a battle with the Delhi Sultanate, which dominates the north of South Asia.

In [-], the last emperor of the Gur Dynasty, Muhammad Ghul, was assassinated and died. He left no heirs during his lifetime. At that time, Kutbudin, who was loyal to Muhammad, took the opportunity and became the successor of the dynasty.

He took advantage of the long-term division of small countries in the north of Ah San, exhausted the national power in the protracted war, and caused the people to suffer severe disasters, so he led the army to go out.

Kutbudin chose the right time to eliminate or surrender most of the countries in the north of Asan in a very short period of time, and established the first separatist empire in the history of Asan - the Delhi Sultanate.

Kutbudin was a devout Christian who spread Islam by means of military conquest, and his policy was far more radical than that of the original Arabs.

During the expansion of the Arab Empire, the people in the conquered lands could retain their faith as long as they paid a population tax.

Kutbudin’s behavior in Asan was completely different. He wanted to burn, kill and loot, destroy Buddhist temples and Asan temples, and force the heathen to accept the "religion of the prophet". The conquered people either accept Islam or die all the way.

Both Buddhism and Asanism were hit hard at the same time. Many Asanism temples and Buddhist monasteries were looted and burned, and mosques were built on their original sites.

The burning, killing, and looting dealt a greater blow to Buddhism, because Buddhism was mainly concentrated in a few prosperous areas in the north and east of Asan at this time. As long as these areas were occupied, Buddhist temples could be completely destroyed and the vitality of Buddhism could be wiped out.

And the temples of Asan religion are spread all over Asan, from big cities to small villages. The invaders cannot control every city and village in India, and naturally they cannot eradicate Hinduism.

More importantly, the philosophy and social program of the Asan religion have penetrated into every corner of Indian society, and any foreign ruler must use the Asan religion to control Asan.

The golden age of Buddhism has long passed, and its influence on the Asan society is far less profound than that of the Asan religion.

After adjustment and resistance, the Asan religion achieved a compromise with the Japanese conquerors and continued to survive and develop. However, the teaching of "non-violence" in Buddhism made it impossible for believers to take up arms and organize the masses to resist the enemy's attack.

Li Yongxuan learned that the Delhi Sultanate adopted an attitude of exterminating both the Asan religion and Buddhism at the beginning, but now it adopts a more tolerant policy towards the Asan religion. He couldn't help being a little disappointed.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

The Delhi Sultanate is facing internal and external troubles. Not only the Mongol Empire, the Kingdom of Heaven, other independent countries in Central Asia, and nomads are all coveting the wealthy Asan, but also the ruling group of the Delhi Sultanate has fierce internal conflicts, internal strife, and coups.

In this critical situation, if the persecution of the Asan religion is continued, it will be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, the Delhi Sultanate has adopted certain tolerant measures, changing the brutal policy at the beginning and imposing a population tax on the Asan religion. .

The people of the Asan religion are burdened with heavy taxes. Except for the poll tax, all tax rates are heavier than the government.

On the surface, the Delhi Sultanate ruled almost the entire northern part of Asan, occupying two-thirds of the territory of Asan.

In fact, many Asan princes are only surrendering in form, and there is still a big gap from the unity of substance.

Even within the direct jurisdiction of the Delhi Sultanate, Christianity cannot occupy a complete dominance.

Because the entire social structure of Asan is based on the Asan religion, especially in the vast rural areas, without the Asan religion, it is impossible to maintain the rule, and without the Asan religion, it is impossible to collect taxes.

For the vast number of Asan farmers, Asanism is their religion for generations. Although it has many oppressive ideas such as the caste system, these ideas have penetrated into the bones of Indians, and they are indispensable to their national culture. missing part.

Not only Ah San has religious beliefs, there are also sects in heaven, such as Taoism, Buddhism, Quanzhenism, Zoroastrianism...

Li Yongxuan was worshiped as a god by the generals, soldiers and common people of the kingdom of heaven. He was still more inclined to Taoism's rule by doing nothing, but he did not support or promote it.

He feels that as long as it does not hinder the economic and social development of the kingdom of heaven, there is no need to bother.

After the army of the Kingdom of Heaven successfully captured the Pandya Kingdom, Hoysala Dynasty, and King Yadava Dynasty, Li Yongxuan did not suppress the followers of Asanism, Buddhism, and Christianity.

He killed the royal families and nobles of all countries, distributed all the land equally to the people of all countries, and collected taxes that were far less heavy than the previous dynasties.

In recent years, various countries in the south of Ah San have fought against each other, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, and the taxation of working people is naturally very heavy.

Fighting requires a lot of manpower, and there will be a lot of casualties. Naturally, there will be fewer people farming.

There are fewer people who cultivate the land, and the taxes they receive are less. In order to collect more taxes, the ruling class can only increase the taxes of the working people, so the taxes are getting heavier...

After resting for a few days, Li Yongxuan began to plan to send troops to conquer the Delhi Sultanate.

He sent people to contact the Eastern Ganga Dynasty and the Solanki Kingdom, asking them to send troops to attack the Delhi Sultanate in the north.

Although these two small countries are small in power, it shouldn't be too difficult to gather 8 to [-] horses together.

At the same time, Li Yongxuan recruited troops from the kingdom of Pandya, Hoysala dynasty, and Yadava dynasty kings occupied by the kingdom of heaven, preparing to sweep the Delhi Sultanate with a thunderous force.

The Delhi Sultanate has a territorial area of ​​70 million square kilometers, a total population of nearly 3000 million, and a military strength of 200 million.

These conquered and ruled areas belong to the Delhi Sultanate in name, but they are actually divided into three situations: the areas directly controlled by the central federation are called state-owned land, mainly limited to Delhi and the river area; the areas under the control of the provincial governor; An area under the control of Hindu kings or chiefs.

The Delhi Sultanate only collected land taxes from the first two areas, and only required annual tribute to the latter area. They did not confiscate all the land occupied by the subjugated Asan religion feudal princes and indigenous chiefs, and they could still control their own territories. And enjoy the privilege of exempting land tax.

The ruling policy of the Delhi Sultanate is a democratic system, and the ruler combines the monarchy and theocracy.

The Central Federation is divided into thirty parts.

The chief minister is in charge of the ministries in name, but actually only manages finances.

He and the Governor of the Military Department, the Minister of Religion and Justice, the Confidential Secretary and the Minister of Intelligence became the four pillars of the Delhi Sultanate.

In addition, a provincial system of local governance was established, with local military aristocrats in power.

Different from Li Yongxuan's equal distribution of land, the Delhi Sultanate bestowed the conquered Asan land in various forms to military feudal aristocrats and mosques with military merits as their military feudal fiefdoms and churches. Produce.

According to the collected information, the ethnic, religious and class contradictions in the Delhi Sultanate are very sharp, and people's uprisings and sectarian movements continue to break out.

It looks powerful, but the inside has already been torn apart and riddled with holes.

Originally, Li Yongxuan could win over the feudal princes and indigenous chiefs of the Delhi Sultanate to deal with the Delhi Sultanate, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

He didn't want to leave privileged forces on the land he occupied, so he decided to include feudal princes and indigenous chiefs as targets of attack along with the ruling group of the Delhi Sultanate.

After the New Year, Li Yongxuan gathered 100 million troops from South Asian countries to attack the Delhi Sultanate in four directions.

Among them, the Eastern Ganga Dynasty sent [-] troops, and the Solanki Kingdom sent [-] troops. They almost poured the power of the country.

Li Yongxuan led the 25 Heavenly Kingdom Navy, nearly 20 elite Southeast Asian divisions, and 20 troops reorganized from South Asia in the Northern Expedition.

Since the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Kakatia, and the Allied Forces of Jerome and Luo conquered the Kingdom of Pandya, the Kingdom of Hoysala, and the Dynasty of Yadava successively by means of thunder, the soldiers and people of all countries have been in awe of the terrifying army of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Facing the menacing coalition forces of various countries, the feudal princes and indigenous chiefs of the Delhi Sultanate were terrified to death.

Although they surrendered to the Delhi Sultanate, they can still control their own territory and enjoy the privilege of being exempted from land taxes. In fact, they are the emperors of the land.

Feudal princes and indigenous chiefs just wanted to protect their own interests, and it didn't matter who ruled.

When they saw hundreds of thousands of coalition troops attacking the Delhi Sultanate, they wanted to stay out of the matter and let the two sides fight. They sent people to express their goodwill to the coalition commanders and expressed their willingness to surrender as long as their interests were not damaged.

"Very good!"

When Li Yongxuan received the news, he dismissed it and directly ordered the attack: "Send troops immediately, no matter who dares to resist, we will all be dealt with!"

He originally wanted to deal with these feudal princes and indigenous chiefs. Instead of surrendering, he even dared to negotiate terms. If they didn't beat them to death, even if the soldiers under him were not enough to work hard.
