Speaking of palaces, in the minds of the Chinese people should be majestic and magnificent, even the palace should be splendid, but the structure of the royal palace in Cambodia has subverted this common sense - in the territory of Chenla, only the temple is made of stone, even the god king can only live in the wooden structure of the high corner tower, and these stilt buildings are not painted with gold, in addition to the relatively large, there are only a few silk, peacock feathers, tiger skin decoration to distinguish it from the more humble residence of the people.

Of course, since it is a palace, there is no shortage of maids and eunuchs in the general palace in Anliang, and the buildings are hidden in the woods and streams that cover the sky and the sun, so they also have their own coolness.

In addition to the palace of the god king to cool off, there are also the mansions of the great nobles themselves and the temporary temples built by the monks, and there are thousands of simple wooden houses for the accompanying people, and even some of the poor people do not even have wooden houses, just hang a rope bed between the trees to make do.

Since they have taken refuge in the jungle, unscrupulous mosquitoes are a major public nuisance, but fortunately, there are all kinds of incense incense in the gods and kings, nobles, and temples to repel mosquitoes, and the common people can barely resist by applying herbal water, so malaria is not prevalent.

The biggest threat after mosquitoes is the venomous snakes in the forest, and these cold-blooded killers are everywhere to prevent them. From the court of the god king to the common people, there are all incurable, so the stakes at the bottom of the stilt house are generally corrected into a square to prevent poisonous snakes from entanglement and climbing. The nobles were even more untouched, so as to reduce undue casualties, but ordinary soldiers, commoners, and the lowliest slaves did not have such conditions, so they could only get by trembling in the face of death.

There are also a small number of occasional nighttime beast sightings that cause a few casualties among the outlying population, but overall, the environment is peaceful. At least, here the princes and nobles did not have to consider the decline of the mountains and rivers and the decline of the country, and the poor people could also enjoy the daily food of the royal family, the nobles and the temples, which was so harmonious.

Living in such an environment, the young King Angem also temporarily abandoned all the worries that had accumulated in his heart and indulged in pleasures. King Ann was the nephew of Zheta IV, but his throne was not taken from Zheta IV, but inherited from his cousin-in-law, Oututhaya I.

Speaking of which, the reason why Oututaya I was able to ascend the throne of the god king in the first place was because as a general in the army, he contributed the most to the overthrow of Zheta IV, and the soldiers and horses that controlled the capital at that time were also under his control, so he was able to overwhelm the three major royal families. However, the shortcomings of Oututaya I, who was from an ordinary aristocratic background, were still significant, and he lacked the support of the princes of the provinces, and he had to pacify the region by marrying the family of Ann during the three years of his reign.

Three years ago, the exhausted Outotaya I was bedridden with a serious illness. In order to preserve the family after his death, Oututaya I made the decision to transfer the throne to the Ahns. King Ahn ascended to the throne of the god king, and the family of Oututaya became a subsidiary of the family of Ahn and theoretically became another new small royal family with the right to inherit the throne of the god king

"Peacock, peacock, I'm so beautiful, why don't you love me?" In the melodious soundtrack, King Ann and his beloved concubine are dancing, and the two of them are dancing to interpret the most famous "Peacock and Princess" fragment of Zhenla folk while showing affection. "I let the hunters walk all over the mountains and lakes for you, I don't want the prosperous scenery of the world for you, peacock, peacock, please accept my love."

"Princess, princess, I am a peacock who has attained enlightenment, I have become a Buddha, so naturally I can no longer covet the love of the world"

The music in the palace was wafting in the sky above An Liang, and those who were lucky enough to hear it either smiled or looked at it with envy, but of course some people ignored it at all. No, there are a few Cambodian important ministers here who are sitting in a stilted building outside the palace with frowns at the moment.

"A few months ago, the Chinese Dynasty sent an envoy to Vietnam to send troops to Liao." Although Laos has long since become independent, it still seems to be a part of themselves in the eyes of Cambodians who are bent on restoring the Khmer Empire, perhaps they think that with the current situation of Laos division, they still have a chance to reclaim their homeland, but if it falls into the hands of the emerging power Vietnam, it will be a meat bun and a dog with no return. "The Vietnamese royal court has promised to send 10,000 troops, and it will cross the border of Chang Son when the rainy season begins."

"The threat of Siam is still in sight, and once Vietnam controls it, it will go to Liao." If Cambodians knew Chinese slang, they would have sighed at the front door to reject the wolf and welcome the tiger at the back door. "Then we'll face each other on both sides. No, since the Huaxia Dynasty instigated Vietnam's westward invasion, it will definitely send troops in person, and we will encounter enemies on three sides. ”

"Why did the Huaxia Dynasty send troops?" Someone said puzzled. "My country has never had a grudge against it."

"There is an old saying in the Chinese Dynasty called Huaibi Qi sin, which means that it is a sin for a person who has no power to possess a gem." The speaker shook his head. "Our country is not strong in force, and under the attack of Siam, it is almost in danger of losing the country, in this case, how can the Chinese people not reach out and get some benefits? Perhaps in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is more in line with the interests of China to occupy Cambodia in person than to let Cambodia completely fall into the hands of King Ayutthaya. ”

In fact, if it were not for the large-scale uprising of the people in Siam two years ago, Cambodia would have perished under the attack of the Siamese army, and it has been a fluke to survive so far, but this is just a delay in death.

"The Huaxia Dynasty is a hundred times larger than Cambodia, and no matter how much Cambodia resists, it will be in vain." This assertion made everyone present extremely helpless. "But it's not like there's no way. I remember my ancestors saying that Huaxia is a face-loving country, and as long as we pay tribute, Huaxia will definitely give up the attack and protect us as vassals. Moreover, I heard that the reason why China ordered Vietnam to attack this time was that Cambodia did not pay tribute to China. ”

"It looks like there's only one option," everyone in the room agreed. "Then do your best to report to the God King, and decide to send envoys to Huaxia and Jinlan." As he was talking, a sudden noisy voice sounded, and the people present looked at each other with some doubts. "What's going on? What's going on out there? ”

Hearing the news, a servant leader hurriedly ran in: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, an army has come over, and there are fires in many places outside, and the noise is the noise of the people when they are fleeing."

Before the butler could finish his words, the nobles present suddenly rushed to the door, and a frightened scene appeared in their sight. I saw that the pillars of smoke caused by the lit stilt houses had reached into the sky, and the outside was full of people and cattle running in all directions, and behind these fugitives were the chasing and killing teams, but those who resisted were beaten by these people after a row of guns.

"This? This is? The nobles who discussed were dumbfounded, and then came back to their senses, and climbed down the stairs one after another, not caring whether poisonous snakes would run rampant under their feet, and rushed straight to the elephant team they brought one by one. Get back. "Some of the dull people just want to run home, while some of the more active ones command the elephant husband." Go to the Imperial Palace, where there is the guard of the God King."

But the sound of gunshots, shouts of killing, screams, and the occasional sound of cannons had made the elephants so commotion that for a time the nobles could not climb on the elephants' backs and flee for their lives. Instead, the elephants gathered together and the lavish decorations on their backs made the invaders feel unusual, no, a group of enemy troops who were driving away civilians rushed straight at them.

"Block them, block them!" The nobles shouted orders to their warriors, but before the heroic Cambodian soldiers could pounce, a cloud of gunpowder rose in front of the enemy's formation, and after the sound of gunfire like fried beans, dozens of guards were killed and wounded, and the rest were also incapacitated by the shock wave of explosives thrown from the opposite side. "Run!"

By this time, it was too late, and the approaching enemies were swords and axes, and the terrified nobles could not run far with their feet. So after seeing a colleague trampled down by their own elephant, these nobles of noble status fell to the ground and asked for surrender.

"Catch a herd of princes, great, what, and elephants." Pang Yousheng, who led the charge, ordered in surprise. "Capture them, and then have them order their respective elephant teams to be the vanguard of our army and assist our army in attacking the palace."

Under the threat of death, the Cambodian princes once again abandoned their monarch, so the Xia army fought more and more, and the Cambodian royal guards, who saw their own noble private troops joining the enemy army, were demoralized, and after the defeat of each other, the war irreversibly moved towards the expected outcome of the attackers.

"Have besieged the palace where King Ann is located?" Luo Jinqiang ordered categorically. "Order the inside to surrender, otherwise a fire will burn the palace, and then the jade will be burned"

The voices of the nobles who already knew who they were and it was because of their own relatives among the people who persuaded them that King An En in the encirclement quickly sent negotiating envoys.

"Who are you? Why attack us? What do you want? ”

"We are the official army of Huaxia, and it is the fourth king of Chengzheta who asked to arrest the puppet king, as for what we want, it is very simple, please ask King An'en to surrender immediately." Pang Yousheng answered the envoy's questions one by one, and said to the stunned envoy. "Although we have come at the request of King Zheta IV, we can guarantee the life of King Ahn, of course, if he refuses to surrender, then it is another matter, well, don't try to buy us, we are not short of these money, now please go back and report immediately, if you do not surrender, we will continue to attack within a stick of incense"

On the first day of the fifth month of the third year of Huaxia Wucheng, after going straight to Jin Ben to rescue Zheta IV, the Huaxia army traveled 160 miles, and captured the Anliang Palace before the local report in Cambodia, and captured King An En and a group of accompanying civil and military ministers. Subsequently, the Metropolitan Protectorate of Cam Ranh re-established Zheta IV as the king of Cambodia, and Zheta IV immediately declared himself a vassal to China and ceded the eastern Mekong region according to the treaty. At the same time, King An En was sent to Guangzhou for temporary residence, and became a foreshadowing for the Chinese Dynasty to further interfere in Cambodia's political situation
