Chapter 300: Annan's End

Something like this happened, and Wang Yangming had no intention of staying in Annan for a while longer.

Even if Fan Jiamo came to appease, it would be to no avail. However, it ensures that the arms deal can continue to be completed and will not be interfered with by this one thing.

Wang Yangming and Zhu Houhuang went down the river and returned to Haiphong.

At this time, after returning to the fleet, he found that Fan Xian was already there.

Zhu Houhuang found that the little emperor of Annan still had some means, and he immediately asked Fan Xian to send Fan Xian to Beijing and asked Zhengde for canonization as an envoy of Annan.

Fan Xian went with a thousand thanks.

Zhu Houhuang watched the ship that sent Fan Xian leave the fleet and went north along the coastline, stunned.

"Do you really need to meddle in Annan's affairs?"

Zhu Houhuang heard Wang Yangming's voice.

Zhu Houhuang turned his head and said, "Yes." It's not that the disciples don't know the severity, but they have to do it. Zhu Houhuang immediately said the agreement with Zhengde, and said: "Next year, millions of people will migrate to Dongyong, and the money that will need to be spent at that time is several times that of now, and the disciples really don't know where to find this money, and the only way is war." It is not that the disciple takes a fancy to Annan, but that Annan gives the disciple the opportunity, and when the little emperor of Annan has the canonization of the imperial brother, if the Mo family usurps the throne, the disciple will become famous. ”

Wang Yangming took a deep look at Zhu Houhuang and said: "You are too dangerous to do things, once you fail, it will be a big disaster, why don't you get together for ten years and do something else?" Why take such a risk. ”

Zhu Houhuang's heart froze, Wang Yangming's eyes were like torches, and he could see at a glance that Zhu Houhuang was in a hurry, as if something was chasing him behind.

This is also the despair that Zhu Houhuang dreamed of at midnight, because he carefully recalled the history of his previous life. He couldn't be sure how many years Zhengde was, but the only thing he could be sure of was that the Ming Dynasty did not have Zhengde for twenty years.

And now it is the fourteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, and since then, Zhu Houhuang has calculated that Zhengde will not live for a few years. And Zhu Houhuang has given up the heart of competing for the throne, but he can't help but pay attention to the new emperor.

Zhengde strongly supported his overseas expansion, but what would happen to the next emperor, would he feel uncomfortable with having a powerful vassal king in Dongyong? In particular, this feudal lord was once one of the contenders for the throne.

This is Zhu Houhuang's biggest nightmare.

So Zhu Houhuang must make himself strong during the Zhengde period. So all this arrangement is in a hurry.

But how can you say this to Wang Yangming?

Wang Yangming saw that Zhu Houhuang was speechless, so he didn't say much. Then he changed the topic and said, "Is the next stop going to Champong?" Isn't Champa a good place to go? ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Isn't it just that little bit of about the father, son, uncle and nephew of the royal family of Zhancheng? The disciple was not interested in this at all. ”

Wang Yangming said: "In the fifth year of Zhengde, Zhancheng sent a messenger to ask for the title, but the current king is not the son of the previous king, and the ministers of the court and the central government are not righteous in their country, and they will not pay tribute. ”

Zhu Houhuang was a little surprised, he didn't know why Wang Yangming was like this, and asked, "Where did Master Wang say this?" ”

Wang Yangming said: "When I was in Shenglong, I didn't do nothing, at least the situation of Zhancheng, I also inquired, Zhancheng was repeatedly attacked by Annan, as early as a few decades ago, to Annan called tribute, and now Zhancheng is no longer a subject of the Celestial Empire, but a subject country of Annan." ”

Zhu Houhuang smiled and said: "In this way, Annan will be charged with another crime in the future?" Moreover, because of this, the disciple thought that it would be smooth sailing to occupy the city. ”

Of course, Wang Yangming knows what it means to be different.

What is the current situation in Annam, the domestic power is in charge, and the warlords are fighting, how can it have a deterrent effect on the occupation of the city under such circumstances? Moreover, the relationship between Champa and the Ming Dynasty is very different. Zheng He went to the West, almost the first battle was to occupy the city, and in the Hongwu and Yongle years, there was a precedent of sending troops to protect the city and resist the attack of Annan. Therefore, the relationship between Champa and Daming is much better than the relationship between Annan and Daming.

I am afraid that Champa has not broken away from the heart of Annam, and Zhu Houhuang also has the intention to stir up relations between the two countries.

All the way south along the coastline, but after a few days' work, we came to the city of Champ.

Compared with Annan, the area of Zhancheng is not large, and the national strength is far inferior to Annan, but the degree of respect for the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of Annan.

Without waiting for the Yongguo fleet to come to the city, there was a fleet of the city to greet the city, guarding the fleet of the Yongguo on the left and right. It's just that the ships of Zhancheng are too small, compared to the fleet of Yongguo, they are too small, and they don't know who is guarding whom.

On the wharf of Champa, there are crowds of people, countless clusters together, and there are many elephants waiting on the wharf, I don't know who said that they are coming.

From a distance, they saw the fleet of Yongguo appear above the sea level, and countless people looked at it on tiptoe. There are not many Han people here, and when they saw this scene, a few old people couldn't help but shed tears and said, "I don't want to see the power of angels again today." ”

On an elephant, an old man of fifty or sixty years old was helped up by several eunuchs and walked down from the elephant. He was covered in gold and silver, shining gold, as if he were a Buddha statue, this is the king of Champa. Shagubuk.

As soon as Yongguo's ship docked, a team of soldiers got off the boat, lined up left and right, and Wang Yangming came down at this time.

Shagubuk didn't have the bearing of being a king of a country at all, so he knelt on the ground and said, "Little King Shagubuk greets the angel. ”

Wang Yangming hurriedly helped Shagu Buke up and said, "Your Highness, please get up." ”

Zhu Houhuang followed behind Wang Yangming, and after looking at it, he had a feeling that this place was really foreign.

Although Annan has always felt that he is an independent country, in Zhu Houhuang's view, Annan and North Korea have too many Chinese cultural factors, and the upper-class people of both countries can speak Chinese, so Zhu Houhuang has an illusion of being in Daming in Annan, but here he clearly feels a different feeling.

Although Champa was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, it was more like India than like the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houhuang has a feeling that he seems to have come to India.

His feeling is not too wrong, although most of the people in Champa believe in Buddhism, there are also many people who believe in Hinduism, which is not much different from ancient India. It's just that there are more Chinese and more Han elements.

Zhu Houhuang thought for a while, Wang Yangming and Sha Gu Buke finished greeting, Wang Yangming followed Sha Gu Buke to prepare to enter the city, but this time their means of transportation were neither carriages nor sedan chairs, but elephants.

An extremely majestic bull elephant. Driven by the elephant slave, with a long neigh, and on all fours, Wang Yangming, Zhu Houhuang, Xu Ai and others climbed onto the elephant's back from the rope ladder on the side.

There was something on the back of the elephant that seemed to be an attic, and the three people plus the elephant slave sat in it, and it did not look crowded.

After a few people sat down, the elephant hissed, stood up, and began to walk.

Hundreds of people fell to their knees on both sides of the road and bowed down to the elephants.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but say: "It seems that the whole city is extremely obedient. ”

Wang Yangming said: "Etiquette must be asked for by others. ”

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help laughing and said: "What he asks for is exactly what I want to give him." ”

Even if the king of Champa is submissive, he will not be submissive to this point, after all, he is a king, and he kneels to a messenger when he comes up, which is too undignified. There will be something to be desired.

And what Zhancheng wants to ask for, the old men in the Beijing Ministry of Rites know it, that is, canonization, and sending troops to protect Zhancheng. Saved from the invasion of Annam.

If there was no Shenglong Mansion, Zhu Houhuang would have hesitated a little, but with this matter, Zhu Houhuang did not hesitate at all. It can be said that he almost hit it off with the king of Champa. He waited for the king of Champa to come and ask for help.

Wang Yangming was reluctant to meddle in a battlefield thousands of miles away, after all, the soldiers had to use it as a last resort, but he looked at Zhu Houhuang's appearance and knew that there was no way to avoid it, after all, in the face of Dongyong's financial crisis this year and next year, Wang Yangming had no choice but to adopt Zhu Houhuang's idea, that is, war.

Since the war is doomed, it is necessary to plan well who to fight and how to fight.
