Chapter 701: Pleading for Troops

Lu Chengqi looked at these two envoys, and they were really extraordinary, and they should be regarded as outstanding figures in their country. Where can you see the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info? As soon as they spoke out, they knew that they were definitely not ordinary people. Can ordinary truth-seekers and Champa people speak Chinese so fluently?

"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by the king of our country......"

"Your Majesty, there are envoys from the lower kingdom too!"

Zhenla and the envoys of Zhancheng rushed to hand the letter of state to Lu Chengqi, and Lu Chengqi asked Gao Hao to pick it up and take it over to take a look. As expected, it was written in Tianzhu script. Of course, there is also the translation of Chinese characters on it, and they naturally will not be sloppy on it, considering the issue of sincerity.

Lu Chengqi glanced at it roughly, to the effect that they admired the culture of the Central Plains, were willing to call themselves vassal states, and said a lot of flattering words. Then, with a turn of the pen, he accused Annan of his "wolf ambitions" and "ill intentions", hoarding a large army, and preparing for "aggression". In the end, he kidnapped Dashun with morality, and implored the "Heavenly Empire" to send troops to help, so as to punish Annan with a small punishment and a big commandment.

The two books are about the same content, Lu Chengqi glanced at it, and he was not interested. Lu Chengqi has long understood these situations, do you want them to tell them? Moreover, the content of their national letters is not very detailed, avoiding the important and trivial, why don't they say that they have also invaded Annan before? These three countries are fighting each other, the eldest brother is not to mention the second brother. Now that Annan is powerful, they jumped out to "condemn", this scene seems familiar......

Lu Chengqi handed over the two Chinese books to Gao Hao to hold, and said with a smile: "The Chinese language of the two of them is very smooth!" ”

When the envoy heard this, he was also a little proud, and said in a loud voice: "Back to Your Majesty, I am rich in wisdom and wealth, and the Central Plains merchant Jia Duo has crossed the ocean by boat and come to trade and trade, and has been back and forth for more than 400 years. Most of its Han people have settled in the capital of Gansu, and they are called foreign visitors. "Because the purchasing power in Angkor Thanh was so high, it was a place of abundance for Han Chinese merchants, and many Han Chinese who came to trade did not want to return to China and settle there. Over time, the Chinese dialect also became popular in the local area.

Zhenla country or Zhanla, its country calls itself Gan Xiaozhi. Now the Dashun Imperial Court is named after the Western Scripture and its country is called Luopu, which is probably close to Gan Xiaozhi. To go to the country of Zhenla, you have to take a boat to drift across the sea, there are businessmen who go abroad to write down the geographical chronicles of the country of Zhenla, cloud: "From Wenzhou to open the ocean, line Ding is not needle, Fujian and Guangzhou overseas state ports, cross the seven continents of the ocean, through the Jiaozhi Ocean, to the city." Since the city is occupied, the wind can go to Zhenpu for half a month, which is its realm. And from the real Pu line Kunshen needle, through the Kunlun Ocean into the port, the port where dozens, but the fourth port can enter, the rest of the sand shallow, so not through the giant boat. However, all the vines and ancient trees, yellow sand and white reeds are cultivated, and the hasty soldiers are not easy to identify, so the boat people are difficult to find the port. From the port to the north, the water can reach its place in half a month, which is called Chanan, which is also a county. And since the south of the check for a small boat, the water can be more than ten days, over the middle of the village, Buddha Village, crossing the light ocean, can arrive at the place said dry and frozen, the city fifty miles. According to the Zhufan Zhi, it is said that its land is 7,000 miles wide, its country reaches Zhancheng Half Moon Road in the north, Siam Half Moon Road in the southwest, Panyu ten schedules in the south, and the sea in the east. It used to be a country of trade. ”

Of course, this is already the information of the previous dynasty. Now the shipbuilding industry of Dashun is extremely developed, and the sailing time has been shortened to 20 days, and you can get to Zhenla. The capital of Chenla, if transliterated in Sanskrit, is "Angkor", which means "city". From the information of the Supervision Department, it can be seen that this Angkor Thom seems to be very prosperous, and it is not much better than Chang'an. This is all because the country of Chenla has been peaceful for a long time, attracting large and small countries such as Champang, Annam, Bagan, and Tianzhu to come to trade and trade. No wonder Annan wants to fight the idea of Zhenla, it turns out that Zhenla not only has a large land area, but also is prosperous and abnormal. If such a fat sheep can't pick up wool by his side, Annan is too unveiled.

Of course, this is just a slight nap for Zhenla, if Zhenla gets serious, Annan and Champa together are not Zhenla's opponents. After all, the land, population, and economy of Zhenla are not comparable to those of the two countries. Lu Chengqi knew everything clearly through the secret report of the Supervision Department, and also understood that Zhenla's war potential was far above Annam and Zhancheng.

Lu Chengqi said perfunctorily: "I see! But in his heart he said: "Everyone in the world knows that Zhancheng rice can be harvested twice a year, and has been introduced into Guangxi and Guangdong, but the secret report of the Supervision Department said that this Zhenla country is rich in rice, and it can be three to four crops a year, and other crops are also very rich, such as forest trees, coconut bamboo, agarwood, yellow wax, cardamom, purple stem, Dafeng seed oil, etc. There are also tropical fruits such as pomegranates, sugar cane, mangoes, etc. The Department of Supervision also said, what unicorns thrive there, unicorns? Isn't that a joke, if you want me to say, it's a rhinoceros. Well, since there are financiers here, if they are willing to pay, it is nothing to send troops to help. But we must grasp this degree well, and we can't enter Annam as soon as the war is fought, at least when they are in full swing......"

After making up his mind, he is not in a hurry to express his position. But the Champa envoy was anxious: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks about sending troops to fight against Jiaozhi?" ”

Lu Chengqi pondered for a while, and said indignantly: "Jiaozhi is a country, and Yelang is arrogant. Previously, I started a war with the Liao State in Dashun, and I was unable to look south. It is really hateful for Jiaozhi to take advantage of the weakness to plunder my border people and rob me of my property. It's just that now, my Dashun army is not strong, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you! ”

The envoy of Zhenla is okay, after all, Zhenla is big, and it is only a matter of a few months to mobilize soldiers. Even if Dashun does not send troops, they can protect themselves, at most they will die some people. Politicians, do you still care about the people? Zhancheng is different, the country is originally small, and it was occupied by Zhenla a lot before, and the evil neighbor of Annan made it even worse. So Zhenla seems to be in a hurry, but in fact, he is the least anxious. Champa was really anxious, and even desperate.

Lu Chengqi has no compassion, for him, how to grab the maximum benefit is the truth. So he first pretended that his troops were overstretched, and then the lion opened his mouth and scolded them fiercely. I thought that I would send troops to help you unconditionally, dreaming!

The envoy of Zhenla seemed to see through Lu Chengqi's "cognacious attitude", frowned and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the army of Shangguo is still in Dali Mansion!" Dali and Gan Xiaozhi, but hundreds of miles apart, how can there be no troops? ”

Lu Chengqi sighed and said, "Alas, you don't know anything! I am a forbidden army in Dashun, and most of them are northerners. I have never been to the dense forest on weekdays, and I can't breathe in the miasma. During the Three Kingdoms, Shu attacked the southern barbarians, and they also had to capture seven and seven columns, all because of the lack of troops and the dense jungle. Not to mention that from Dali Mansion to Zhenla, there are only a few jungle paths, and that miasma is enough to kill. Although I am not a benevolent monarch, I also know how to cherish my soldiers. Such cruel things, I ...... Can't do it......"

The messenger also understood this truth, sighed slightly, and stopped talking. The envoy of Champa questioned: "Your Majesty, since you can't come from Dali Mansion, why don't you go straight down from Guangnan West Road?" Forgive that Jiaozhi, and don't dare to stop the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom, right? (To be continued.) )
