Chapter 702, the ruler of the city who greeted the king
Champa, also known as Champa Bura, is the pronunciation of Sanskrit sound, which can be translated as the meaning of city.
Located in the southeast of the southeast peninsula, roughly equivalent to the southern half of Vietnam in later generations, the royal capital is located in Indra Bula, which was called Xianglinyi in ancient China, referred to as Linyi, Cham.
The people here in the city are called the Zhan people, their ancestors are from the Han Dynasty placed in the Xianglin County of Rinan County, in 137 years, the son of Gongcao of Xianglin County, kill the county order, self-proclaimed king, and began to build the city of Zhancheng.
From the Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, that is, during the period from the 10th to the 13th century, Champa became the main expansion object of the feudal ruling dynasty of Annam, and in 1402, Annam seized the two prefectures of Zhandong and Gulei in Zhancheng, and pushed the territory of Annam to the area of present-day Guangnan and Guangyi.
In 1471, the Hou LĂŞ Dynasty conquered the city, captured the capital, captured Wang Cha Quan, and set up Quang Nam Province, so that the territory of Vietnam expanded to Quy Nhon.
Champong has always been a vassal state of Annam.
Well, that's right, Annan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and this Zhancheng is a vassal state of Annan.
From here, you can know that everything in Annam is actually copied from the Ming Dynasty, and even the vassal state is something that they have to learn, and of course they can also know how weak the strength of the city is.
Not only did Annam in the north invade the south and annex the territory of Champa repeatedly, but even Chin La of the Khmer in the northwest repeatedly invaded Champa, and Siam in the west also used Champa as a place for military training.
It can be said that Champa is a bag of anger, an opponent that everyone can bully, weak and weak, and from time to time it will be invaded by foreign enemies.
In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi's occupation of the city, it was only left with some land in the south, and most of the land in the north also fell into the hands of Annan, and now it is logical to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty and become part of the political envoys of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in the border area between the Jiaozhi Envoy and the Champa border, an army of 30,000 people was advancing from north to south, heading towards Xinzhou Port, the core of the city.
At the same time, on the sea, the Ming Royal Navy fleet also attacked along the coastline from north to south towards the side of Champ.
Originally, the relationship between Zhancheng and the Ming Dynasty was still very good, and the history of Zhancheng was also many times to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and the old Comrade Zhu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, liked Zhancheng quite much.
In history, in 1469, when Li Shengzong Li Sicheng attacked Zhancheng, the king of Zhancheng, Panluo Chaquan, also sent people to ask for help from the Ming side, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could put pressure on Annan, and the Ming side also readily agreed.
However, at that time, Annan was strong and strong, and the national strength was at its peak, so he didn't take the words of the Ming Dynasty in his eyes at all, and directly broke through the port of Shinaicheng, captured more than 30,000 people including Panluo Chaquan and his subjects, and carried out a bloody massacre, directly killing more than 40,000 people.
In the end, Panluo Chaquan died of illness in the captive camp, and Li Shengzong also beheaded him, and brought the head and many captives back to sacrifice to the Taimiao.
It can be said that a few decades ago, the state of Champa had already existed in name only, and had basically been annexed by Annan, only some places in the southernmost part could not be controlled by Annan, and were still under the control of the remnants of Champong.
The army of the Ming Dynasty swept from north to south, all the way down.
Not only to attack the city, but also to constantly sweep the local Haoqiang and Tusi along the way, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin have been sitting in Thang Long City, and the 100,000 army only sent 30,000 troops south.
The remaining 70,000 troops were all left in various parts of Jiaozhi to carry out a brutal extermination of the remnants of the original Annan Kingdom, local heroes and Tusi.
Attacking and occupying the city, this is just a banner played by Liu Jin's side, and the remaining strength of the city is now occupied by the Ming Dynasty, which requires the Ming Dynasty to dispatch 30,000 troops and 10,000 navies, and a few thousand people are enough.
It is more about sorting out these rebel forces in the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Department all the way, and at the same time preparing for the next sweep of the Nanyang island countries.
Wang Shouren and Yang Yun rode on the high-headed horse, and they couldn't help wiping the sweat on their foreheads as they walked.
It's too hot here in Cochin, which makes the two who are used to the cool autumn weather very uncomfortable, not only that, but everyone in the army is also the same.
The armor and helmets on their bodies were all taken off, and many people were marching shirtless, and it was too hot.
"There are still two days to get to the port of Xinzhou, and the weather in the southeast peninsula is so hot, no wonder the rice here can be harvested three times a year and seven times in two years."
Yang Yun looked at the sun above his head, the scorching sun was scorching, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"The world we live in is indeed a round ball, this Champa belongs to the tropics, it is summer all year round, occupy this Champang, my Ming is equivalent to having a big granary, and I don't have to worry about food problems from now on."
Wang Shouren nodded, at this time he didn't care about the demeanor of a scholar, he took off his clothes and rode on the horse shirtless.
The two of them chatted while going south, and neither of them had any pressure to attack the city, a simple and easy matter.
"Newspaper~"
At this moment, someone rode over at a gallop and said.
"What's the matter?"
When Wang Shouren heard this, he hurriedly asked.
"The king of Champa led the whole country to greet the king!"
The person hurriedly said.
"Huh?"
When Wang Shouren heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded, he was going to attack Zhancheng, and the king of Zhancheng was good, and he actually led the subjects of the whole country to go out a hundred miles to greet him.
"This?"
Wang Shouren and Yang Yun looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
"Let's go, go and see, if this Champa country is willing to take the initiative to surrender, it will also avoid our big moves, Champa and our Ming Dynasty have always been friendly neighbors, if the king of Champa takes the initiative to surrender, my Ming will not treat them badly."
After thinking about it, Wang Shouren also said.
The army continued to advance, and soon encountered the king of Champa and his party, who had come to greet him.
Shagu Buluo, the king of Champa State, took his ministers to look at the mighty Ming Dynasty army, and the eyes of the whole person were filled with tears.
Since Li Shengzong's personal conquest, Li Sicheng conquered the Champa country, and slaughtered on a large scale, almost slaughtering the royal family and subjects of the Champa city.
This made the Zhan people and Annam of the Champa State take on a deep hatred.
However, the Champa State is small and weak, and it is not the opponent of Annan at all, so the Champa State has also repeatedly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask for help.
On the side of the Dan Hongzhi Dynasty, the king of Champa sent five envoys to the Ming Dynasty, asking the Ming side to intervene in the affairs between Champa and Annam.
Now, the Ming Dynasty has finally sent troops, and it is a thunderous momentum, 100,000 troops crushed Annan, and here in Tokyo, Annan will be killed by the king, down to the ordinary ministers, and it is a large-scale clean-up of local heroes and toasts around the country.
When the news spread, the entire country on the Southeast Peninsula was shocked.
Who would have thought that the good and decent Ming Dynasty would suddenly send troops to destroy Annan and re-set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, which is so fast that it is staggering.
You must know that Annam can be regarded as the top three powers on the southeast peninsula, except for Siam and Burma, even Annam is the most powerful.
However, when such a powerful country faced the army of the Ming Dynasty, it did not have the slightest resistance, and it was wiped out in less than 2 months, and the remnants of the forces were still wiped out.
This greatly shook the countries on the Southeast Peninsula.
Cambodia, Ailao, Chenla, Siam and other countries sent ambassadors to Daming for the first time, for fear that Daming would continue to attack again, and even they would be wiped out together.
When the news reached Champa, the whole country celebrated.
They were bullied by Annan too badly.
There was only a small part of the land that was originally broadcast, and everyone from the king to the ordinary people was slaughtered by the Annan Kingdom, and they had a deep blood feud.
In addition, the state of Annam also forced to make the city a vassal state, and the city needs to pay tribute to the side of the state of Annam every year.
This kind of tribute is completely different from paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, everyone likes to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming side will return it several times, but to pay tribute to the Annan Kingdom, not only does it not have the slightest return, but the Annan side also has to increase the number of tributes every year.
It is conceivable that under such oppression by An Guoguo, what kind of life is this Zhancheng living.
Now that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to destroy Annan, the whole city of Zhancheng is naturally celebrated by the whole country, and when it was learned that the king was going south, it was even more to eat pot pulp to welcome the king, and directly went out of a hundred miles to welcome the arrival of the Ming king.
"Little King Shagu Buluo led all the subjects of the city to welcome the Great Ming King!"
Seeing Wang Shouren and Yang Yun riding on the tall horse, the two of them were also fully dressed, Shagu Buluo immediately walked over with the ministers, and then knelt down respectfully.
"Let's be rude~"
Wang Shouren and Yang Yun glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to do.
If the Champa country resists desperately, it will be easy to do, just kill it, and now they have all taken the initiative to come out to greet it, and they don't know how to put this high-raised butcher's knife.
Forget it, it's better to leave it to Zhang Mao and Liu Jin to have a headache, anyway, this Zhancheng must be merged into the Ming Dynasty, and take the Zhancheng, the current capital of Zhancheng, Xinzhou Port, is an excellent port, and using this port as a springboard is enough to deter the entire Southeast Peninsula and the South Seas.
As for how to deal with this king of Champa and the subjects of Champa, this matter still gives Liu Jin and Zhang Mao a headache, of course, looking at him so knowledgeable, most of them will have a good treatment.
