Lan Yu had no choice. He was a little afraid to use Tianzhu's soldiers. The resources of these soldiers were too poor. At most, they were just doing chores for logistics. If they were on the front line, they might scatter at the slightest movement, which would affect the morale of the army.

In contrast, it would be more useful to go to Chenla and Siam to recruit troops.

Li Jinglong also agreed: "What Duke Liang said is reasonable. I immediately wrote to the court and asked for the right to recruit troops from Chenla and Siam."

Apart from this, Lan Yu has no other option.

No matter what you do, you can't use Tianzhu's soldiers, even those noble guards who look pretty good.

Historically, the Tang Dynasty had come into contact with the Harsha Empire of Tianzhu once.

It was an envoy named Wang Xuance under Li Shimin.

Because when I went there, King Shiluoyi of Central Tianzhu died, the country was in chaos, and his minister Nafudi Aronashun usurped the throne, so he mobilized all the troops to resist King Xuance.

Thirty cavalrymen following Wang Xuance fought with the enemy, but failed and were captured. The enemy took the opportunity to plunder the property contributed by other countries.

Wang Xuance fled and reached Tubo.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Wang Xuance was. He issued a proclamation to recruit troops, and got 12,000 Tibetan soldiers and 7,000 Niboluo cavalry.

Wang Xuance and his deputy Jiang Shiren led the Tibetan and Niboluo armies to attack Chapo and Luocheng in Central Tianzhu. They fought for three days and defeated Chapo and Luocheng. More than 3,000 people were beheaded and about 10,000 of the enemy drowned.

Alonashun fled and gathered his scattered soldiers to fight again. Jiang Shiren captured Alonashun and captured and killed thousands of the enemy.

The remaining soldiers followed the king's wife and resisted in the Qiantuo Wei River. Jiang Shiren defeated them and captured his concubines and princes. He also captured 12,000 men and women, 30,000 various livestock, and 580 cities surrendered.

King Xijiumo of Eastern Tianzhu sent 30,000 cattle and horses to feed the army, as well as bows, knives, and precious tassels.

The Kingdom of Kamelu presented foreign objects and a map, asking for a statue of Lao Tzu.

Tianzhu was shocked.

In May of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance sent the captured Aronashun, the princess, his wife, and others, as well as 12,000 men and women, and more than 20,000 cattle and horses to Chang'an as prisoners.

Because he felt that Tianzhu was too useless, Li Shimin gave Wang Xuance the title of Chaosan Dafu, an official position below the fifth rank.

The battle was summed up in one sentence in the history books: break it, break it again, attack it, and perish!

This makes it understandable how easy it is for Lan Yu to conquer Orissa so smoothly now.

You must know that the Harsha Empire at that time was a little stronger during the Tang Dynasty than the current Donghenga Dynasty.

Wang Xuance still borrowed more than 10,000 troops. He was not a general, but an envoy.

Lan Yu is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty and ranks as the Duke of the country. He currently leads the Ming army with 100,000 elite soldiers and 200,000 subordinate soldiers.

This is completely one heaven and one earth.

If it weren't for management's inability to keep up, Sapphire would have swept across the entire Tianzhu region by now.

After all, Wang Xuance is just fighting, while Lan Yu still needs to develop here, and the concepts are different in nature.

As for the current Tianzhu area, what is the reaction to Lan Yu occupying Orissa? To put it simply, there is no reaction. Even the city lords in the surrounding areas of Orissa are probably ready to surrender now.

As long as Lan Yu dares to send troops, they will surrender.

This is why Lan Yu dare not take the Tianzhu soldiers under his command. He is really afraid that these Tianzhu soldiers will destroy his army.

Soon, Li Jinglong's request came to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying considered that it is really difficult for the Ming Dynasty to allocate corresponding officials to manage Tianzhu. The main reason is that Tianzhu has too many people, and it is useless to send hundreds of people there.

So they agreed to Li Jinglong's request and allowed them to recruit troops in Chenla and Siam, and they could also recruit officials.

Anyone from the Ming Dynasty who is willing to go can also be promoted to an official in Tianzhu.

Now the fleet bound for Dongsheng Shenzhou is about to leave, and most people are staring there, not thinking about Tianzhu.

In other words, it can only be done on a special basis.

There was nothing to hide about this news, Siam and Chenla soon knew about it.

When Li Youwei learned the news, he immediately thought of his godson Long Dongqiang.

He quickly called Longdong and asked him to take his people and immediately go to Tianzhu to join the Ming army.

This is a God-given opportunity, especially for a gang member like Long Dongqiang.
