Chapter 464 Fight to be the lord of the Khmer city

A direct descendant of the King of Angkor in the 14th century, the lord of Siem Reap, Furakja, has been adhering to the ancestral teachings and sticking to the site of Angkor Thom, intending to reorganize the old rivers and mountains.

Siem Reap, in fact, was built next to the ancient city of Kureok, and there were some facilities for these residents, and gradually developed from a few scattered residents into a city.

At all times, the central part of the population here is the protector of the ancient city with a special mission, who may be engaged in various trades, but can become the most loyal warrior when the need arises, and protect the ruins of the ancient city of Angkor with everything they have.

The city lord Fu Luo Jia has been extremely nervous for the past few days, and he has a clear premonition that the five-hundred-year mission of the Luo Jia royal family will end in his hands, and what the ancestors have carefully guarded will be destroyed in his hands.

He already knew that some Western countries had sent many so-called archaeological teams that were constantly spying on the ancient ruins of Angkor, with the aim of seizing these ancient monuments and cultural relics for himself.

It is not difficult for him to imagine the fate of these relics and monuments once they are separated from their loyal descendants of the Angkor dynasty.

All they can do now is to live and die with what these ancestors have left behind.

Although the three-day period given to him by the wormhole passed in a blink of an eye, for him, the torment he suffered still made him feel like a year.

Because every day he received the news that other cities had fallen, and by the third day, before dark, all the cities had been lost to the enemy, and nothing was missed!

The city lord Fu Luo Jia knew very well in his heart that his city defense could not hold on for a long time. Compared to those cities that have changed hands, Siem Reap's defense is not worth mentioning at all, and the reason why it persevered to the bottom is entirely the result of the mercy of the opponent's men.

At this time, he had already made up his mind to burn all the jade, and he insisted on it until the end, which could be regarded as an explanation of his conscience.

These large camps outside the city, Mai Ke had arrived, which was tantamount to the last obstacle to the occupation of the whole of Khmer.

This is also what Mai Ke has always paid attention to to keep this symbol of Khmer culture, and only now has he waited until now.

Therefore, Mai Ke ordered the army to assemble on the Siamese border. He himself came to help the wormhole solve Siem Reap.

Mai Ke personally went to the front of the city to shout. Ask to speak to the Lord of Furaja.

After a short time, Fu Luoja stood in the city tower and waved his hands at Mai Ke: "I am the city lord, what do you have to say?"

Mai Ke replied: "I am Mai Ke. Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Force. I know your will to protect the foundation of your ancestors. So I'm here to discuss it with you. Let's see if we can find a way that takes into account the requirements of both parties and is acceptable to all. ”

"Thank you! Let me surrender and hand over the ancestral inheritance, that is not negotiable! If you have the idea of fighting, you don't have to make any effort, we will not surrender to the death!"

"Your Excellency doesn't need to worry, listen to my method first, and then you decide what to do, what do you think?"

"Just say it, and I'll listen to it. ”

On the way here, Mai Ke has thought about this question repeatedly, since these people are guarding what their ancestors left behind, just let them continue to do this, and it is estimated that they have no time to take care of other things.

At the same time, since the Kingdom of Heaven also wants to continue to preserve these cultural monuments, it is probably the most appropriate arrangement for the descendants of these ancient kingdoms to do these things, and others may not have the ability to do it.

Therefore, it was decided to adopt a special policy for this area, and the general principle was that all should remain unchanged, and that these descendants of Angkor would still be responsible.

They only need to be politically subordinate to the unified regime, and they are led by the central institutions in both military and diplomatic aspects.

This mechanism is the "one city, two systems" founded by Mai Ke, and one system is the Holy City system, all of which are for the purpose of the kingdom of heaven, and no matter where they are, the management institutions and functions are the same.

The other system is the system before the return to heaven, collectively known as the original system, which was used for specific special purposes, such as the current preservation of the Angkor monuments.

However, whatever the original system was, the surviving system must not openly oppose the kingdom of heaven and must submit to the administration of the Holy City in all major matters.

Although he had never heard of such a system, and he didn't fully understand what Mai Ke said, he was still able to determine that this new system really couldn't find anything unacceptable!

As long as the big goal can be guaranteed, he will not care about the gains and losses of specific interests, so after listening to Mai Ke's introduction, he asked a few specific questions, and immediately agreed to this method verbally.

Since then, "one city, two systems" has officially entered the mode of choice.

In this way, the expeditionary force accomplished its strategic objective of the entire Khmer, and all the original Khmer cities fell into the hands of the expeditionary force.

Having conquered and then establishing their rule, they sent a force to aid the Vientiane campaign while the army waited to cross the Siamese border.

At the same time, the main general of the attack on Siem Reap, Wormhole, immediately shifted his direction of work and devoted himself to the establishment of a new type of political power.

According to the plan that had been determined in advance, an holy city was established in the territory mainly of the former Khmer, with Phnom Penh, the former Khmer royal palace as the center, and the name of the holy city was "St. Phnom Penh City".

The main area includes the whole of Lower Khmer, the main territory of the original Khmer, as well as parts of Siam.

In other words, the central area is part of the middle reaches of the Mekong River and all of the lower reaches of the Mekong River.

Once you have a region, the most important step is to choose a mayor.

Since Wormhole is responsible for establishing power, he has been paying attention to gathering candidates for this mayor, some of which he knows directly, and some of whom he has suggested.

The first to belong to the former Khmer kingdom was the former king Andong. If he becomes the lord of the city, first of all, he will be supported and accepted by the former royal family and former citizens, and secondly, he will also have some management experience.

But the obvious disadvantage is that he may wear new shoes and follow the old path, which is not acceptable to Mai Ke, and his management ability is limited, otherwise the Khmer would not be so poor and weak.

The second candidate for the former Khmer is the reinvigorated Binli. His greatest advantage is that he is now sharp and strong, and he is holding back his strength to make great progress! Second, he has relatively rich management experience, and although he does not have many first-hand skills, he is at least no stranger to managing the affairs of the kingdom of heaven.

But he also has obvious shortcomings, and his experience as a eunuch will make people reject him, although he has now given a great proof that he is no longer the old man by marrying.

However, you can't always see someone and clarify this kind of thing, right?

Then, it's time to send the mayor from elsewhere. (To be continued......)
