Faced with Emperor Shirakawa's inquiry, Zhao Ji was silent. Now all three of them have become captives of the Chola State, and if they are executed by the Chola State, then the Chinese Empire may be another political pattern. Even if Zhao Ji is not afraid of death, he has to take care of the direction of the national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty and the Chinese Empire after his death. Moreover, there are the White River and the Zhanbei.
"Let's wait for the Chola Kingdom to send someone to negotiate." Zhao Ji said slowly.
Zhanbei and Baihe looked solemn and fell silent. The three of them sat side by side, not knowing what they were all thinking.
······· A.D. 1073, Huang Yuan 3790, Xining 6th year, December 28.
The Chinese Imperial Army sent troops to the Chola State from Lingya to capture the island of Shilan and besiege the capital of the Chola Kingdom Kanchi in less than two months.
At this time, the military cabinet was completely ignorant of the annihilation of the 100,000 vanguard troops under Zhao Ji's command, and the capture of Zhao Ji, Bai He, and Zhanbei naturally did not know. These things were concealed by Zhou Tong, the deputy assistant of the cabinet and the commander of the front. Zhou Tong not only did not report the matter, but even blocked the news.
The news received by the military cabinet was all good news. The million-strong army of the Chola State dispersed in a hurry, and the 300,000-strong army of the Great Song Dynasty had already surrounded Kanchi, the capital of the Chola State, which made all the ministers of the military cabinet excited. The good news spread quickly, and merchants from Lingya and Sriwijaya began to pour into Shiran.
According to the plan, the military cabinet made the island Baozhou and included it in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The Katoha region was returned to the Three Buddhas. Whether it is the people of Lingya in the Great Song Dynasty or the people of Srivijaya Qi are preparing for the arrival of the New Year in joy.
The port of Baoju was busy, and the inhabitants of Shilan Island were driven onto merchant ships to be transported to Golden State. The Great Song Baojia Army and its 400,000 family members began to divide their fields and households in Baozhou and arrange for spring plowing in the coming year.
Compared with the joy on this side, the front-line generals are in a heavy mood.
Zhou Dong wandered back and forth in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the generals of the various armies did not dare to breathe, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Because just this morning, the Chola Kingdom released more than 3,000 soldiers from the Chinese Empire who had been captured. Among these more than 3,000 people, there is Di Yong, the commander of the Iron Arm Guard, and from Di Yong's mouth, Zhou Tong already knows exactly that Zhao Ji and the three of them were captured.
However, Zhu Luoguo did not send anyone to negotiate, nor did he send anyone to inform Zhao Ji that the three were in their hands. Regarding the silence of Zhu Luoguo, Zhou Tong was very helpless. Neither was the retreat of the 300,000-strong army, nor was the attack.
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Tong didn't know what kind of conditions Zhu Luoguo needed to release Zhao Ji and the others. And this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the matter of Zhao Ji's capture cannot be hidden. Once this matter spreads and returns to the Great Song Dynasty, then both the Great Song Dynasty and the Chinese Empire will definitely be in chaos. It is not impossible for the collapse of the Chinese Empire and the fall of the Great Song Dynasty.
Fortunately, the Chola Kingdom released 3,000 captured imperial soldiers. From this point, Zhou Tong knew that the lives of Zhao Ji and the three of them were saved. Zhou Dong also did not send people to negotiate with the Zhu Luo State, because he did not have this power without going through the military cabinet. And this matter cannot be reported to the military aircraft cabinet.
"Zhou Shuai." Fang La wanted to speak and stopped.
"Say." Zhou Tong was bored and responded listlessly.
Fang La and Zhou Tong are brothers, Zhou Tong is not wrong to be a military strategist, but not a politician, such a problem makes him helpless. Fang La, on the other hand, was historically a leader of an uprising and a natural statesman. At this time, Fang La's thought was not about Zhao Ji's safety, because everyone knew that Zhao Ji would definitely be fine.
"The state of Zhu Luo did not send anyone to contact, and it was bound to negotiate with the officials. Now, we should prepare more bargaining chips for the official negotiations. Fang La said his kao.
"An army of 300,000 can't do nothing." The military division of the mountain corps said.
Most of the generals are in the same contradiction as the kind of reprimand, neither is the retreat of the army, nor is the attack, nor is it to be surrounded like this all the time. However, they all know that such inaction will definitely not work.
If they do nothing like this, after Zhao Ji is released, they will be unlucky. Even if Zhao Ji didn't blame them, the political affairs hall would not give them a good look. They will definitely be retired, or they will be retired.
Fang La's nod made Zhou Tong calm down suddenly. Then he walked back to Jiangtai and said loudly: "The mountain corps stays, set up a rocket artillery array, block the city gate of the Chola State, and prevent the Chola State from counterattacking." The other armies, with regiments as units, recruited and surrendered all the states of the Chola State, collected the scattered rebels of the Chola State, and pacified the people of the Chola States. ”
When the Great Song Dynasty surrendered the rebellious troops of the Chola State and fully took over the regions and states of the Chola State. The king of Chola, Luo Zetula, came to the palace where Zhao Ji was housed, and this was to negotiate with Zhao Ji, a captive.
Rozetura was also helpless. His throne was consolidated by military conquests, and the invasion of Sriwijaya was not only to control the trade routes, but also to consolidate the throne.
Historically, Rozetura has naturally failed. After the defeat of the Chola Kingdom by the Sriwijaya, the country was in turmoil, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since. However, because the Great Song Dynasty established Lingya Prefecture and carved up the spice trade of Srivijaya, the subordinate states of Srivijaya were dissatisfied. Five subordinate states rebelled and surrendered to Java, and the Sriwijaya State was defeated, and the Sriwijaya State was unable to resist the Chola State. As a result, the Chola Kingdom achieved a series of victories on the Eastern Front and almost annexed Srivijaya.
These victories cemented the throne of Rozetura and allowed the Chola kingdom to not only defeat Srivijaya but also annex several large powers in the Ganges valley.
But success is also a great song, and defeat is also a great song. Luo Zetura did not expect that the Chinese Empire would be established, that the Great Song Dynasty and the Three Buddhas would both be member states of the Chinese Empire, and that the Great Song Dynasty would go on an expedition of thousands of miles and send 400,000 troops to support the Three Buddhas.
What shocked Rozetura the most was that Japan, a country that had never heard of before, also sent 30,000 troops to support Srivijaya, and the Great Song Dynasty not only supported Srivijaya but also invaded the Chola country itself.
Rozetura was not incompetent, and in the face of the invasion of the Chinese Empire, he did not fail to think about peace talks, nor did he have no better defenses.
The long coastline on the east coast of the Chola Kingdom is likely to become the offensive point of the Chinese Empire, and it is naturally the best choice to move the capital inward, rely on the coastal people, and fully deploy defenses along the long coastline, and fight a protracted war with the Chinese Empire.
However, Rozetura had to face not only the invasion of the Chinese Empire, but also the opposition within the Chola Kingdom. For this reason, he had to make a desperate bet, concentrate his troops and financial resources, and focus on defending the area near the national capital.
Rozetura believed that the Chinese Empire would not attack the capital region, which was defended by more than 1.4 million troops, but would first attack other areas of the Chola State where the army was weak. If the Chinese Empire attacked other regions where its forces were weak, it would destroy the local powers in those areas and turn the areas that were opposed to Rozetula's rule to him. That's exactly what Rozetura wants to see. As long as the regions completely fell to Rozetura in the face of the invasion of the Chinese Empire, Rozetura would be able to twist the 1.6 million army into a rope. In this way, it will not only be possible to defeat the invasion of the Chinese Empire, but also completely destroy all opposition forces, and the Chola Kingdom will usher in a new life.
If it is not broken, it will not stand. After the Chinese Empire destroyed the Chola opposition, Rozetura was able to smoothly implement his reforms in a power vacuum.
Even if the Chinese Empire concentrated its forces to attack Kanchi, the capital of the Chola Kingdom, it would have to face an army of 1.4 million Chula. Rozetura was not without the success of winning this war. If this war is won, he can also twist the 1.6 million army in his hands into a rope and smoothly implement his reforms in victory.
However, the current situation is such that Chola won first and then lost. Although the 100,000 vanguard troops of the Chinese Empire were wiped out, they were dealt a heavy blow by the Right Route Army of the Chinese Empire, losing 600,000 troops, and the 700,000 troops were scattered in a rush in the defeat, and the rule of the Chola Kingdom almost collapsed.
Just when Luo Zetula was depressed, waiting for the coming of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, he did not expect to capture the three emperors of the Chinese Empire. It's a real revelation. Although the 300,000 troops of the Chinese Empire besieged the city, the capture of the three emperors meant that the Chinese Imperial army was successfully beheaded.
Of course, Luo Zetula did not think about turning defeat into victory, and the current situation of the Chola Kingdom could not be solved by forcing the Chinese Empire to withdraw its troops. On the contrary, now Rozetura hopes that the Chinese Empire will not withdraw its troops, because as soon as the Chinese Empire withdraws, the Chola State will fall into a state of anarchy, and the opposition forces in various regions will completely overwhelm the Chola State. That's really the same thing as being destroyed by the Chinese Empire.
Luo Zetula took a deep breath and walked into the palace where Zhao Ji and the three of them were housed. Zhao Ji and the three of them already knew that they had been notified that Luo Zetula was coming. This surprised the three of them, and they were also very relieved. After all, it wasn't caught for interrogation.
"The little king of the lower kingdom knocks on His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire, long live my emperor, long live long live." After Luo Zetula walked into the palace, he sat on the end and kowtowed.
Santaili, the prime minister of the Chola Kingdom, also knelt aside, but he spoke pure Chinese, which was the official dialect of Kaifeng in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Flat. Bestow the seat. Zhao Ji said calmly.
Zhao Ji felt a little funny, because in the current situation, he was just a prisoner. The victor bowed to his captives, and this was truly unprecedented.
The prime minister of the Chola Kingdom, Sam Tairi, naturally acted as an interpreter. Rozetura slowly stood up, and two Indian slave girls brought a low stool. Rozetura sat cross-legged, and Santeri stood beside him.
Zhao Ji stroked his head with both hands and smoothed out the scattered long hair to the back of his head. Then, he stared at Rozetura with interest. And Luo Zetula also stared at Zhao Ji intently. Zhanbei and Baihe stood on either side of Zhao Ji, silent. For a moment, only the sound of heavy breathing remained in the hall.
"You should be the Prime Minister of Chola Kingdom, Santairi, right? Song speaks so well, but have you been to the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Ji didn't know how to speak, but seeing that Santaili spoke Chinese well, he asked casually.
"The ministers of the lower kingdom once studied in the Great Song Dynasty and studied in the Great Song Dynasty Nanjing Shangqiu Yingtian Academy for ten years. and Li Zhanma, the richest businessman in the Great Song Dynasty, is a classmate. Santeri said.
Seeing that Santaili was using Song Li, Zhao Ji said happily: "Oh. It seems that you know the past and present of the Great Song Dynasty very well. Between you, what should be the current situation? ”
"The 400,000-strong army of the Great Song Dynasty is on an expedition of thousands of miles, and I am afraid it is also a desperate gamble. The crisis in it, not to mention the minister, His Majesty the Emperor also understands it. Santeri responded.
"The Chinese Empire, from east to west, from south to north, has an unprecedentedly vast territory. The people are like the stars in the sky. What crisis can there be? Nonsense is needless to say. Before Zhao Ji could speak, Emperor Shirakawa glared at him and said viciously.
