Two days later, the Xuanwei army arrived thirty miles away from Bijaya, the capital of the Champa state.

It is taboo for an army to approach the capital, no matter what country it is in, let alone a foreign army.

The Xuanwei army camped thirty miles away, and Yang Congyi took Zhang Liu and followed Mr. Zhang into Vijaya.

Although Vijaya is the capital of the country, it is not as prosperous as it imagined.

Everywhere you go, as far as you can see, whether it is the street, or the building, or the degree of liveliness, it seems that even Huzhou City can not be compared, the small country of Nanyang is really a small country, even if it occupies the right time and place, and becomes a transit station for merchant ships from south to north, its degree of wealth can not be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the trade route is not smooth now, the total amount of maritime trade is not large, and it is not much better for you to be a transit station.

Yang Congyi wanted to find the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Lord Dai, and as soon as Mr. Zhang entered the city, he sent him to Lord Dai's residence as soon as possible.

Seeing the appearance of Mr. Zhang and Master Dai chatting, they were really as Mr. Zhang said, they had met before.

When the three of them met, Yang Congyi first asked how the envoy was, whether he had already met the king and the envoy was completed?

Dai said that when the political situation of Champa changed, he had already met the new king of Champa for the first time, Jayaharibama, and congratulated him on his ascension to the throne. He waited for Vijaya to not leave, but waited for the Xuanwei army to come and rendezvous, and now that they have arrived, they can leave as soon as possible.

Hearing this news, Yang Congyi was very happy, Master Dai's mission went smoothly, and the two countries became friendly countries, which meant that they could immediately leave the city and go south and chase back to the Yi fleet.

Subsequently, he explained what happened on the border of Champa and the agreement he reached with Mr. Zhang. Lord Dai is the envoy, representing the imperial power and the imperial court, and he is naturally in charge of the matter of land demarcation and staying, and he can only make the decision.

Yang Congyi told him that the Xuanwei army now has more than 2,000 people, they only have five ships, and they can't take so many people away, if Zhancheng is willing to carve a piece of land within a radius of 20 miles for the Great Song Dynasty to use, then 1,000 people can be placed to stay in Zhancheng, which has many benefits, first, the Great Song Dynasty will have a foothold in Zhancheng, and it can even be said that the entire Nanyang has a foothold, second, the Great Song Dynasty will have closer ties with the countries of the Nanyang, and third, it can provide some shelter and necessary help for the Great Song merchants who went south.

The Great Song Dynasty left a team of people in the city of Zhancheng, there are also many benefits to the country of Zhancheng, there are many enemy countries around the city, even if there are only a small number of people and horses of the Great Song Dynasty here, other countries want to fight the idea of the city state, but also have to consider carefully, the cultural system, handicrafts, architecture, etc. of the Great Song Dynasty are very prosperous and developed, once the people of the Great Song Dynasty can stay in the city, these things of the Great Song Dynasty will slowly pass over, I believe that it will not be long before the city of Zhancheng will develop into the best country in Nanyang.

Lord Dai was very happy after hearing this, if there is a place in the city occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, this is equivalent to expanding the territory, the Great Song Dynasty has never had a place to stand in the South Seas, if this matter is successful, this kind of meritorious service will definitely make him famous for eternity, the emperor is happy, and it is not impossible to be promoted to a knighthood!

After he asked Mr. Zhang for advice, Mr. Zhang told him that the matter was very sure of success.

Mr. Zhang analyzed that in the past, the Champa country did not allow the military forces of any country to intervene in the city, not even a single soldier, because the countries that Champa could contact were either enemy countries such as Chenla and Annam, or countries that were thousands of miles away from the West, and their military or armed forces would not benefit the city at all, so they would naturally not let them in.

But the Great Song Dynasty is different, the Great Song Dynasty is a large country in the Central Plains, with a large population and rich products, and has always treated the surrounding countries with courtesy, and never robbed the territory of other countries, the Great Song Dynasty is not very far from the city of Zhancheng, coming from Guangzhou, if the wind is downwind, the sea ship can arrive in three or five days, once there is something to do in the city, the Song Dynasty has personnel left behind in the city, if the city asks for assistance, the Song Dynasty will not sit idly by. Therefore, the king should agree to set aside a piece of land for the Great Song people who went south to stay and live.

Seeing that Mr. Zhang also thought that this matter was feasible, Mr. Dai was very happy, and immediately promised that if Mr. Zhang could really do it, Da Song would be grateful!

After chatting for a while, Mr. Zhang said goodbye and left, as a strategist, he naturally had to reply to the king after the errand was completed.

Mr. Zhang's border trip saw an opportunity, as a Han familiar with the culture and human conditions of the Central Plains, and proficient in many Chinese languages in Nanyang, if he can make Champa and the Great Song Dynasty form a closer relationship, he will certainly be able to play a huge role between the two countries, and his status in the Champa country will definitely be higher, and his voice will be heavier, maybe he will be able to become a high-ranking official and a very popular subject!

Divide a piece of land and leave the people of the Great Song Dynasty, this matter must be persuaded to the king, and it must be done!

Yang Congyi has deeply felt how inconvenient it is to be unable to understand the language.

Champa was a transit point for maritime trade between the north and the south, and he wanted to go to the streets to see how many Tianzhu and Western things there were in Vijaya, which ones were not available in the Great Song Dynasty, which ones could be brought back to the Great Song Dynasty and sold at a good price, and which ones could be of great use. It's a pity that because of the language barrier, he finally went out, but he couldn't find the place he wanted to go. After some tossing, I can only give up.

In this way, he realized that if he went to the South Seas and the West Ocean, he could not understand the language, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch, let alone make it easy to go back, exchange and buy and sell materials with other countries, and there would be no conflicts, and it would be good to be able to land smoothly.

So when he saw Mr. Zhang again, he asked him to help him find a few talents who were proficient in Chinese, Nanyang and Western languages.

This was easy for Mr. Zhang, and after a long time, he found two people for Yang Congyi.

One is a Cham man, whose name is Yayi, who is a small businessman who runs the sea all year round. The other is a down-and-out merchant who is in Zhancheng and difficult to return to the West, and his name is too long, so Yang Congyi called him Saial.

Both of them are still good at Chinese, and can communicate relatively smoothly, although they don't understand some words, but after explaining carefully, they can still understand the meaning. As for the other languages they master, it is said that there are no less than three or four, and it is impossible to verify them personally, so believe them.

Yang Congyi kept both of them and told them that as long as they could reach the Western countries with the Great Song fleet, they would be paid handsomely.

He was originally a businessman, and when the merchant ship capsized and went bankrupt, he was naturally happy to be able to go to sea to earn a sum of money.

As for Sayal, he came to the South Seas from the Persian Gulf a few years ago, but he met a scammer, kept losing his goods, and even the merchant ships were gone, and he made a living by doing translation all these years, and he has been away from home for many years and has always felt that he has no face to go back, but after being away from home for a long time, his mentality has changed, and now he has a chance to go back, and he can get a good reward, he is naturally happy, and immediately said that he can not only be a translator, but also help him do business, if he can pay an extra fee.

For such talents, Yang Congyi will not let go, a hundred sea ships, what is it to pay an extra payment, maybe he can really make good use of it.

Just two days after Yang Congyi met with Dai, Mr. Zhang brought good news that the king had agreed to allocate a piece of land outside the city of Vijaya to the Great Song Dynasty so that the Song people could settle there, but at the same time made a request that an official be sent to manage the land.

When Lord Dai heard the news, he didn't mention how happy he was, so he almost danced.

This is a great feat! Promotion and knighthood are just around the corner! Expand the territory and leave a name through the ages!

Yang Congyi was also very happy, but he thought differently from Master Dai. With the increase of merchants, with the diligence of the Han people, the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty culture, the city of Zhancheng became a country of the Han people, and it was possible to return to the rule of the Central Plains. Of course, this is all later, the most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty has a place in Zhancheng, and the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty are transiting here, and I don't know how much trouble to go to and how much money to earn back.

After leaving Da Song, he found that his feelings for Da Song were much deeper than what he felt before.

As an outsider, he has always regarded the Great Song Dynasty as a city to live in, and always thinks that he is actually a tourist and a guest, and this is not his hometown, so everything in the Great Song Dynasty has nothing to do with him, whether the Great Song Dynasty is good or bad, it is all an objective existence, let him bend his knees and surrender, or perish, it is all to blame, just watch from the sidelines.

Since leaving Qiongzhou and arriving in Annan, he has gradually understood that no matter what era he came from, he has always lived in the Central Plains, the roads he has walked, the water he has drunk, and the blood flowing in his body have remained unchanged in China for thousands of years. At that time, he admitted from the bottom of his heart that the Great Song Dynasty was actually his hometown, and he was never wandering, just looking for the past.

In those days in Annan, he felt from the bottom of his heart that being a member of the Great Song Dynasty was a very proud thing, because the Great Song Dynasty was really the Heavenly Empire in front of a small country like Annan.

Once he was concerned about the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Congyi thought that the Great Song Dynasty could be better and stronger, so he had to maintain the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty at all times and consider the interests of the Great Song Dynasty everywhere, which may be the result of more than ten years of patriotic education.

Yang Congyi didn't know whether this change in him was good or bad, but he felt in his heart that patriotism must be right!

But patriotism comes at a price, and most of the time it's a broken price! But he is now far away from the Great Song Dynasty, helpless, and can't manage so much, what is the real price, let's talk about it later.

The land was demarcated, and Yang Congyi accompanied Master Dai out of the city to hand over and inspect.

The land allocated by the king of Champa to the Great Song Dynasty mission was very large, far more than twenty miles in radius, and it was initially estimated that it was more than fifty miles in radius.

In the camp of the Xuanwei army, after discussion, Lord Dai prudently decided that this land would be temporarily guarded by Zhang Biao with a thousand Xuanwei troops, and the gold, silver and jewels brought from Annan would be left for him to use for military funds and the construction of the Great Song Dynasty's territory, and he was required to build a house on this land for people to stay in within a year, and reclaim fertile land that could support themselves.

Zhang Biao was somewhat reluctant, Zhancheng was really unfamiliar with life, and he preferred to wander at sea and go to the Western Ocean with the fleet than to stay behind. But Yang Congyi told him that Zhancheng may be the place where he has made meritorious contributions, and the left-behind camp must be built well, built into a permanent camp, and the army training cannot be abandoned, and always remember the name of the Xuanwei Army.

Three days later, Dai Cong and Yang Congyi bid farewell to the king of Champong, and after saying goodbye to Mr. Zhang, they left Vijaya with a thousand Xuanwei troops, left Champong, and sailed south.
