The predecessor of this system came from the intelligence network created by Cao Cao and Cao Ang respectively.
Chapter 749 Atlantic Fleet
Cao Ang used restaurants and caravans to create an intelligence collection network covering various places, and Cao Cao also had his own spy agency. After the establishment of the Great Wei Empire, the two secretly merged and invested a lot of money in expansion.
The strongest intelligence agency in history.It is still in the hands of Cao Cao and his son.
Cao Ang arranged some agents and spies in the Western Regions early on.
After Cao Ang accepted the order to integrate the Western Regions, he made preparations in Luoyang, activated the agents buried in the Western Regions, and asked them to fan the flames among the dignitaries of various countries.
Obviously, the Great Wei Empire was too ambitious, which was unacceptable to many local dignitaries and kings of small countries in the Western Regions.
The Wei Empire was powerful and its army was strong enough to crush them. Even if these dignitaries or kings of small countries were dissatisfied, they would not dare to show it under normal circumstances.
If no one fanned the flames, how could such a large-scale assassination be organized?
In fact, the reason why Cao Ang was assassinated was that Cao Ang arranged for him to be assassinated, so that agents and spies could lobby various western city-states
The dignitaries facilitated their secret alliance and leaked their whereabouts, leading to such a siege.
For the Great Wei Empire, the Western Regions are very important places, but the Great Wei Empire does not want to see the Western Regions in ruins.
However, if the Great Wei Empire was unreasonable and directly launched an attack by force, the countries in the Western Regions would most likely unite to rebel, and when external forces were brought in to join the battle, the Western Regions would undoubtedly be reduced to ruins.
Therefore, Cao Ang needs a reason, a justifiable reason to achieve precise strikes on specific classes.
The agents of the Great Wei Empire left a lot of evidence during their lobbying activities in various countries, which can prove that these dignitaries and even individual kings participated in the assassination of the prince of the Great Wei Empire.
In this way, it can be justified and punished.
Cao Ang not only displayed his force to deter the Western Regions, but at the same time, he was able to skip the war and wipe out these elites who caused the division of the Western Regions and could not issue government orders with lightning speed, and then used the huge garrison of the Wei Empire to forcibly suppress them. .
The next step is the reform of counties and counties, dividing the Western Regions into several counties and counties, and allowing nobles who sincerely submit to them to continue to serve as local officials.
As long as Cao Ang designs a complete set of industrial planning for the local area, as well as a deeper invasion of education and culture, people in the Western Regions will find that their lives are getting better and better in a few years.
Over time, they will completely identify with the Huaxia nationality.
At this point, the Western Regions will be completely integrated into the national system of the Great Wei Empire and become an inseparable part of the territory of the Huaxia tribe.Cao Cao said: "I used to think that Zixiu's only weakness was that sometimes he was not cruel enough to deal with the enemy, and that he couldn't really do everything he could with tactics. Now it seems that I worry too much."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "It's not that your highness can't be ruthless, but most of the time it's not necessary. His talent can be more and better. Wuhuan, which is flourishing day by day, proves this. Prove it."
Xun Yu commented: "True great talents disdain to take the easy and discard the difficult, disdain to take the complicated and keep the simple, and only do the most beneficial things. Even if the process is more difficult, the final return will be more generous."
"Hahaha, that's right!"
Cao Cao was very satisfied with Cao Ang's thunderous tactics this time.
This incident fully demonstrates that it is not that Cao Ang cannot do bloody acts with an iron fist, but it is not as one-size-fits-all as Cao Cao, but adapts measures to local conditions.
According to such an efficient progress, the Western Regions will be thoroughly cleaned within a month.
Cao Ang predicts that [-]% to [-]% of the dignitaries will be directly destroyed, all the land, property and servants they own will be confiscated and redistributed, and then a group of nobles who are really willing to obey will be screened and supported as local governors.
At least the central and eastern parts of the Western Regions will be quickly incorporated into the Great Wei Empire.
However, some countries in the west of the Western Regions, such as Dawan, which are particularly powerful and far away from the Great Wei Empire, may not be so easy to be purged.
When faced with the upheavals in the Western Regions, there are only two choices they can make.
First, follow the general trend and take the initiative to surrender in exchange for guaranteed benefits.
Second, simply leave the Great Wei Empire and seek refuge in the Guishuang Kingdom, hoping to use the strength of the Guishuang Kingdom to make the Great Wei Empire fall into a trap.However.
No matter which one you choose.The established strategy of the Great Wei Empire will not change, and Cao Ang's annexation of the Western Regions must be carried out forcefully to the end.
This is Cao Ang's determination, and it is what Dawei must do if he wants to continue to develop.
Under such circumstances, Cao Ang did not hesitate to carry out the things that had been arranged in advance in the Western Regions to eradicate those conservative forces.
At this time, under the leadership of Cao Ang, he is carrying out a thorough reform of more than 20 small countries in the north, south, and east of the Western Regions, making a summary of the administrative framework of these small countries, and then merging them into the Great Wei Empire among.
On the other side, the Western Fleet has entered the Western Ocean for half a month at this time, and there are a total of 120 large ships in this fleet.
Most of the 120 ships are relatively traditional, but they are mainly sailing ships that are very advanced compared to the times.
There are only ten of the 120 steam-powered warships of the Holy King. They are used as frigates. After all, these steam ships need a lot of fuel.
With the current steam technology of the Great Wei Empire, there is no way to create a warship that can be directly used for sailing across the ocean. Such technology may take a lot of time.
At present, the supreme commander of the ocean-going fleet of the Great Wei Empire is Sun Ce, the admiral of the navy of the Great Wei Empire and the commander-in-chief of the Empire's Western Fleet.
In addition, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wei Yan and other naval generals were also arranged, as well as army generals.
At present, the total number of the entire Western Fleet has reached [-].
Of course, not all of these 4 people are soldiers. Among these 4 people, there are many experienced sailors, craftsmen, and doctors!
There are even many scholars, scholars, experts, and important missionaries!
The Western Fleet went all the way south, passed through the Panyu area, and then entered the South China Sea. The first country to visit was Funan!
Funan Kingdom, another name is Funan Kingdom, Ba Nanguo, which means "mountain".
This country is very old, and it is an ancient country located on the Indochina Peninsula.
The area of this southern country is probably the entire land of Cambodia in later generations, and then the southern area of Laos, the southern area of Vietnam, and the southeastern area of Thailand.
The very famous Angkor Wat in later generations was established by the Funan Kingdom!
Chapter 750 Strait of Malacca
This Funan Kingdom not only has the famous Angkor Kiln, but it is also a very rare matrilineal kingdom.
As we all know, in this ancient time, most of them were planting industries. Under such circumstances, men were naturally needed to be powerful, which also led to the rise of male gentry.
Men have high status and women have low status.
However, this Funan Kingdom is just the opposite. The leader of the country is a woman, that is to say, the king of their country is the Queen.
Of course, this Funan Kingdom is not a big or small country, and it still has some contacts with the people in the Huaxia Baiyue area.
Therefore, under such circumstances, their Funan Kingdom knew about the establishment of the Great Wei Empire and the mighty Great Wei Empire early on.
When Sun Ce's naval army docked in Funan, the Funan royal family and some officials came out to greet them respectfully, and offered various supplies for the use of the Wei Empire's army.
In such a country, the establishment of diplomatic relations is also very smooth.
