Chapter 653: Cambodia
Besides, Jia Ke is in Thang Long Mansion, and now Jia Ke has occupied the palace of Annan Kingdom and regards it as his daily rest.
On this day, Jia Ke was thinking that it was time to retreat and return to the Central Plains, when suddenly Li Deshan came in to report.
"Master, the slave has received a report from the people below, Nguyen Thanh Ngoc, the king of Annam, has retreated to Thailand through Cambodia."
Jia Ke frowned when he heard this, if this Ruan Zhengyu was allowed to stay in Thailand safely, he would have some crooked ideas if he couldn't keep him, and then his Annan would not be peaceful.
Jia Ke turned around a few times on the Yin'an Palace and made up his mind not to retreat back to the Central Plains for the time being, but to move westward to open up the border with Thailand, and then force the country to hand over Ruan Zhengyu and make him surrender by the way.
After Jia Ke made up his mind, he immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals.
Now these generals under the command of Jia Ke are living very happily one by one, they occupy the mansion of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Annan, and then use the servants and maids left by these ministers, one by one.
On this day, they suddenly heard the sound of drums in the palace, and immediately woke them up from the gentle country.
The men immediately pushed the beautiful maid beside them away, put on their armor and robes, and then ordered their own soldiers to prepare their horses, and hurried to the palace one by one.
After the three-way drum, on the Yin'an Palace, all the generals were already gathered, and all the generals were dressed and stood there waiting for Jia Ke.
Jia Ke arrived after the arrival of the generals, and it was long overdue.
Jia Ke entered the Yin'an Palace, sat on the throne, and all the civil and military officers below immediately knelt down on one knee to salute Jia Ke.
Jia Ke waved his hand to calm them down, and then said: "I got the news, Ruan Zhengyu has fled to Thailand, I don't want to let the tiger return to the mountain, what do you think?" ”
The civil and military forces below listened to Jia Ke's words, looked at each other's hearts, and said that your old man has already decided, what can we say?
So all the civil and military forces below bowed their hands together and said, "We will obey the orders of the prince." ”
Jia Ke nodded and said: "In this way, you go back and straighten out the men, and in three days the armies will set off, first conquer Cambodia, and then go straight to the Thai border, and see how he goes." ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the generals immediately went back to prepare.
Three days later, outside the city of Thang Long Province, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had been reorganized.
The main force of each army is still Jia Ke's Fenwu battalion, as well as the Eight Banners Cavalry, then 80,000 wolf soldiers, and then more than 200,000 captive soldiers.
And Jia Ke left all the Guangxi soldiers and Yunnan soldiers in Annan in order to suppress the localities, because they had just conquered Annan and could not protect the resistance forces in their country, if all the soldiers were transferred, I am afraid that these people would immediately repeat.
Jia Ke ordered the soldiers and marched towards the west.
Not to mention that Jia Ke is leading troops to advance here, only to say that Cambodia, a small country next to Annan.
The current king of Cambodia is Tomo of the Phnom Penh dynasty. Raja I.
Since this king ascended the throne, the country has been weakening day by day, and his land has been constantly encroached upon by the king of Annam, Nguyen Chinh Ngoc, and after several major wars, his land is now only 1/3 of what he was when he ascended the throne.
This time he got the news that Ruan Zhengyu of Annan had been defeated by the Central Plains Celestial Empire and had been exiled to Thailand, and when he was happy, he thought that the Central Plains Celestial Empire had always been merciful, as long as he said a few good words, he might be able to surrender without a fight and regain all the lost land.
Who knows Tomo. Raja I thought about beauty, but suddenly received a report from the people below, King Yan of the Central Plains Celestial Empire, your hundreds of thousands of soldiers came straight to Cambodia.
This only frightened the king to death.
Even such a strong country as Annan was destroyed by the Central Plains Celestial Empire within a few months, and a small country like itself with weak troops, where is the opponent?
So Tomo. King Raja I convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs overnight to discuss countermeasures.
In the king's palace, the ministers are also at a loss, to say that although they have been defeated many times to resist the Annan Kingdom, they can still fight with it, but this time it is against the Celestial Empire, where can they resist this small country.
So Cambodian Prime Minister Aman came out and played: "King, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire is so strong, how can we and other small countries resist?" It's better to go out of the city and surrender. For the sake of our surrender, the Yan King of the Celestial Dynasty will definitely not make it too difficult, and although the power will be hindered by the time, our position will be preserved. ”
Tomo. When Raja I heard this, he was a little displeased, and this feeling of putting his life and death in the hands of the other party was not very pleasant.
But as soon as the king was about to object, all the ministers fell to their knees and begged the king to go out of the city and surrender.
It turned out that these ministers had already gotten the news and knew that the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty had brought troops to come, and if they resisted, they might be burned.
Coupled with the fact that the nobles who surrendered in Annam were only deprived of their military rights, and their property was still preserved, these ministers had no intention of resisting.
Tomo. Seeing this situation, Raja I was also helpless, so he said to Prime Minister Aman: "Since this is the case, then there is Prime Minister Lao, you take my letter of state to the military camp of the Celestial Empire, and explain my attitude to the King of Yan of the Celestial Empire." ”
Tomo. After saying this, Raja I sighed, left the main hall, and went back to the harem.
After the king returned to the harem, he sighed for a long time, and the queen hurriedly came over to comfort him when he saw this situation: "My lord, I have also heard about the affairs of the previous dynasty, how can we resist the soldiers of the Celestial Empire when our national strength is weak?" In the eyes of the concubine, surrender is a good thing. ”
When the king heard this, he was furious, and the cup of tea in his hand fell to the ground, and with a lift of his hand he struck the queen to the ground.
"Okay, you slave, your ancestors are about to fall, and you are saying such cool things here."
The queen was beaten, and it would be a lie to say that she was not angry in her heart, but now that the country is in crisis, she can only endure it temporarily.
So the queen could only kneel on the ground and continue to persuade the king: "Great king, the Celestial Empire has always been merciful, and it will definitely not take away the inheritance of the ancestors, and once the king surrenders and is canonized by the Celestial Empire, those rebellious ministers and thieves in the country will not dare to act rashly, and from this point of view, it is a great good thing." ”
After hearing this, the king sat there and thought in his mind, isn't this the case, as long as it is blessed by the Celestial Empire of the surrendered Celestial Empire, his own descendants can also be the throne.
When the king thought of this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and where was the trouble when he first entered the prince, he came forward to help the queen up, and then apologized repeatedly.
Although the queen still had a grudge in her heart, she didn't dare to show it in front of the king, and she helped the king into the harem with a smile on her face.
It turns out that the queen's name is Taiji, who is a wealthy Cambodian family, and has the ambition of Lingyun since she was a child, plus her beauty is like a flower, and her skin is like snow, she was trained by her father since she was a child, and hired a famous teacher from the Central Plains for her.
After this queen married the king, she only fell to the previous queen as a concubine, and it took a lot of hard work to become the queen of Cambodia.
But she was still not satisfied in her heart, but now that the king was still in the prime of life, she endured it for the time being.
And this time the soldiers of the Celestial Empire came here as an opportunity, and if it can be operated properly, it may be able to take charge of Cambodia.
Prime Minister Aman received permission from the king and immediately repaired a book, and then sent it to the harem for the king to seal.
Tomo. At this time, Raja I was enlightened by the queen, and he had already changed his mind, and when he saw the prime minister sending a letter of state, he directly stamped the king's seal and asked people to send it out.
Prime Minister Aman got the credentials, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare a car, and took a dozen servants out of Phnom Penh and went straight to Jia Ke's army.
And Jia Ke is now commanding hundreds of thousands of horses, has crossed the border of Cambodia, and everywhere he goes, Cambodian officials at all levels have surrendered without any resistance.
So Jia Ke led his men and horses without any fight, and successfully arrived at a place 200 miles from Phnom Penh.
On this day they were on the march, when suddenly the prospect came to report that an envoy from the king of Phnom Penh had come to ask for an audience.
Jia Ke smiled slightly when he heard this, he had already guessed the meaning of the other party.
This Kingdom of Cambodia is really cowardly, and now hundreds of thousands of soldiers are coming to the city, thinking that they have come to surrender.
So Jake ordered the army to halt for a while, and ordered the messenger to be led to his horse.
Cambodia had made a request to Oman as the soldiers made their way through the sea of soldiers, and this journey seemed to make him more sure that his surrender strategy was so correct.
The little shame in my heart is now gone.
Look at the troops of the Central Plains Celestial Empire, all of them are strong and strong, wearing armor, and the horses come and go in one body, where can these soldiers and horses in their own country resist, and how many lives have they saved?
Aman came to the formation with the soldiers, he raised his eyes and saw a young general sitting on a group of fire dragon horses not far away, only to see him wearing a golden helmet on his head, wearing gold armor, surrounded by countless generals, and there was a big flag behind him, and the big flag read, Yan Wang Prime Minister Governor of the world, Jia.
Aman knew that this was the Yan King of the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty that he wanted to meet, but he didn't expect to be so young.
Aman didn't dare to slack off, he came to the hyperthyroidism in three steps and two steps, and fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Cambodian Prime Minister Aman, has seen the Celestial Dynasty Yan King Chitose."
Jia Ke sat on the horse and said with a smile: "The messenger doesn't have to be polite, get up and talk back." ”
Only then did Oman dare to stand up cautiously.
When Jia Ke saw him standing up, he then asked, "You are not in Phnom Penh to reorganize the army, what is the matter with coming to my camp?" ”
When Aman heard this, he immediately said in fear: "The Heavenly Empire, the Heavenly Soldiers are here, where do small countries like us dare to resist?" The king ordered me to come and present the credentials of the people, and welcome the king of Yan to Phnom Penh to preside over the important affairs. ”
After Aman finished speaking, he took out the king's letter from behind him, and then held it above his head with both hands.
Jia Ke glanced to the side for a while, Li Deshan immediately dismounted and came to Aman's side, took the national credentials, came to Jia Ke in three steps and two steps, and handed it to Jia Ke with both hands.
