Chapter 643: The best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plan.
Today, most of the northwestern territory of the Kushan Empire is controlled by the Kushan Empire.
The south and southeast are mostly inhabited by indigenous tribes.
The Kushan Empire was the most powerful, occupying an area of approximately two million square kilometers, and its strength was equivalent to that of the Wei State during the reign of Xiahou Chang.
It is actually not that easy to completely defeat the Kushan Empire.
In the past two years, Ye Kun's troops have been carrying out operations in the southern and southeastern parts of the Indian Peninsula to control the indigenous territories.
Qin Erwu smiled and said, "Those indigenous tribes are all vassal states of the Kushan Empire. We occupied the indigenous tribes in the south and southeast. The Kushan Empire was of course not happy and sent troops to fight us a few times. However, I beat them to a pulp."
"I know all of this. The Kushan Empire's envoys protest to me every day."
Ye Kun nodded: "However, the Kushan Empire is still strong. If we launch a strong attack at this moment, we will also suffer huge casualties, which is not worth the loss. So I followed the advice of Hu Gaoyuan and Liu Ai, and took a steady approach. At the same time, I used trade activities to carry out commercial plunder against the Kushan Empire and weaken its national strength.
Then we can use the strategy of sowing discord to cause internal strife, and then we can use their strength to defeat them and win the battle in one go."
Qin Erwu disagreed: "How can commercial plunder be as fast as direct plunder?"
"You are wrong. If we attack by force, the nobles of the Kushan Empire will flee with a large amount of wealth. I will use the commercial plundering method, called boiling a frog in warm water, to make every last penny out of them!"
Now, sugar factories, porcelain factories, glass factories and cotton spinning factories in the southern and eastern parts of the Indian Peninsula have begun production.
Just these few things, plus iron tools and food, are enough to hollow out the Kushan Empire.
Soon, the Kushan Empire would collapse into civil strife.
This is the fastest way to disintegrate the Kushan Empire.
To make money from him and destroy his country is the best way to attack his strategy.
Qin Erwu couldn't comprehend these profound theories and just shook his head repeatedly.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "You should go back and reunite with your family first. We'll have a good chat in a few days. By the way, I've arranged a welcoming banquet for you tomorrow at the State Guesthouse."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Erwu stood up and said goodbye.
Based on Qin Erwu's report, Ye Kun fine-tuned the strategy toward the Indian Peninsula and sent a telegram to Liu Ai and others.
Ye Kun is still very confident about the combination of Liu Ai, Hu Gaoyuan and Song Poliu.
With them around, we should be able to take over the entire Indian Peninsula within three to five years.
Hu Gaoyuan and others called back quickly, and after Qin Erwu was transferred away, the work went much more smoothly.
They adopted the strategy of cannibalization, advancing step by step, and surrounded and squeezed the Kushan Empire.
On the one hand, they absorbed a large number of indigenous laborers to build a large rear base;
On the one hand, he bribed high-ranking officials of the Kushan Empire, sowed discord and created internal conflicts in the Kushan Empire.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The Indian Peninsula is too far away, the cost of immigration is very high, and it is difficult to send the labor force there back to China.
It is also very difficult to immigrate from the country.
Because you have to pass through the Strait of Malacca both ways, which is a long detour!
Ye Kun called back: "Use the ships to immigrate as many people as possible. Although it is difficult, the blood transfusion and assimilation of the Tianzhu Peninsula must be completed in the end!"
When Qin Erwu came back this time, he brought more than a thousand Indian beauties with him.
Ye Kun didn't want these beauties, so he sent them all to textile factories to receive education and assimilation, and then betrothed to their husband's family to have children.
The next day, Ye Kun held a banquet to welcome Qin Erwu and Ding Ding.
Qin Erwu talked big while Ding Ding just smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, Qin Erwu stood up and toasted Ding Ding:
"Among women, I don't respect anyone except Lady Ding Ding. She is truly a heroine. She moved mountains and filled the sea, and opened up the Yunmian Highway. Even men are no match for her!"
Ding Ding stood up and took a sip. "General Qin, you are too kind. I am just a little patient. Everyone has contributed to the road construction work."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "There are indeed not many people who can make Qin Erwu admire you. Junior Sister Ding Ding has mastered the Yunmian Avenue, which is beneficial to the present and will be a great contribution to future generations!"
Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Tintin.
Tintin nodded and smiled.
After dinner, Tintin took his leave.
Ye Kun, Sang Buyi and others stayed to discuss the immigration to the Indian Peninsula.
Sang Buyi said, "Guan Bao has already launched an operation in Jiangdong. In Wujun alone, more than 10,000 people were captured in the early stage. I think we should send these more than 10,000 people to the Tianzhu Peninsula first."
Ma Zhao sighed, "It's not easy to travel such a long distance by sea. The pressure of supplying supplies along the way is huge."
Normally, it takes one and a half months to travel from Qiantang Port to Tianzhu Peninsula by sea.
If there is bad weather, it may take two months to arrive.
Ye Kun insisted on immigration and blood exchange, saying: "There is plenty of food in the ports along the way. We now have tens of thousands of large sea vessels. I think immigration will not be a problem.
The East China Sea Navy has no missions right now. Send a message to Huangfu Lin to dispatch 500 warships to transport immigrants in batches."
After taking Fuso Nagashima and Izushima, there was no war in the East China Sea.
Huangfu Lin still has tens of thousands of naval forces under his command, but there is no point in keeping them.
One hundred warships, each carrying two hundred people, can transport twenty thousand people at a time.
The wealthy and powerful families in Jiangdong control the local area and are difficult to control.
Uprooting them and relocating them to the Indian Peninsula would kill two birds with one stone.
Ye Kun’s grand plan is to migrate millions of people to the Indian Peninsula.
With the intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese nation, coupled with technology that is hundreds or thousands of years ahead of the world, one hundred people are more than enough to control the peninsula.
Within thirty to fifty years, the population doubled, and the majority of the people on the Indian Peninsula became the Chinese people.
He Kangju agreed with Ye Kun's suggestion and said, "We should also provide salaries and military pay to the East China Sea Navy if they are idle. Letting them participate in immigration is the best way."
After some discussion, everyone agreed with Ye Kun's arrangement.
Huang Ye came to report: "Your Majesty, Queen Ayiman of Loulan in the Western Regions has sent a special envoy to ask for an audience. The Kushan Empire has also sent an envoy to ask for an audience with Your Majesty."
"Queen of Loulan, Ayiman?"
Ye Kun was in a trance for a moment, then smiled and said, "She sent a special envoy to settle accounts with me. Because I promised her last year that I would go to Loulan for a return visit at the end of the year. But I have been busy with state affairs and have never had the time."
Sang Buyi suddenly smiled inexplicably: "Well, the Queen of Loulan was quite beautiful, I remember."
The crowd roared with laughter.
Ye Kun was annoyed: "We are discussing state affairs, not whether the Queen of Loulan is beautiful. Lord Sang, you are both old, can you be more dignified?"
Sang Buyi stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please don't blame me. I just said it casually."
Ye Kun chuckled: "The Queen of Loulan is indeed very beautiful. I want to go and see her. Does anyone have any objection?"
Ma Zhao hastily rejected the suggestion: "Your Majesty, the situation in the Western Regions is unstable now. You cannot go. At least, you have to wait until Zhao Biao surrenders his military power before you can go."
"I predict that Zhao Biao will soon surrender his military power and plead guilty to the imperial court."
Ye Kun was confident and said, "Last year, everyone promised me that I would inspect Yizhou and the Western Regions this year. The weather is getting better and better, so it's time for me to set off."
Sang Buyi said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. First meet with the Loulan envoy and the Kushan Empire's envoys, and then make a decision."
