After the discussion, Dogesa exchanged a few words with Lunders and hurried back to his camp, where a sergeant wearing the uniform of the Champa State was waiting for him, and when he saw him, he hurriedly greeted him.

"General Li is going to come here tomorrow to work in the army, and I always have an ominous premonition in my heart." After waving off the guards who followed him, Dogesa sat down in his chair with a frown, and said with a solemn expression.

"Father, the motives of the Ming army in the country are not pure, not only appointed many officials, but also exempted the taxes for the past two years, and distributed the fields and real estate of the rich gentry in many places to the people on the charge of colluding with the traitors, and wantonly bought the hearts of the people."

The sergeant came to Dogesa's side and asked in a frosty voice, "Father, do you mean that the army wants to stay in our city?" ”

From the voice, it can be heard that the sergeant wearing the uniform of the Champa army is a woman, and she is none other than Dogesa's daughter Nasha, that is, Wu Qian.

Wu Qian was originally with Li Yuntian, after the Ming army launched an attack on the Jiaozhi rebels, he followed Li Yuntian to many places, and later because Li Yuntian besieged the rebels in Yi'an Mansion, Wu Qian went to the Champa army camp in Yanzhou Mansion to visit Dogesa, and then returned to Duohai City.

But this afternoon, Wu Qian suddenly rushed over from Duohai City and told Dogesa something that shocked him:

During the period when Dogesa and Lundes were not in Champong, the officials of the Ming army had taken advantage of the fact that the original power system of the Champa State was destroyed by the Jiaozhi rebels, and quickly established an administrative system in Champa and announced many measures to benefit the people, so that the situation in the country of Zhancheng was quickly stabilized.

Due to the fact that Yanzhou Mansion is located in the central region of Jiaozhi, the transmission of information between Dogesa and the Champa State is not smooth, and Li Yuntian deliberately blocked the news, so Dogesa did not know what was happening in the country at all, and he never imagined that the Ming army would do so many inappropriate things.

It was precisely because of Wu Qian's report that Dogesa was quite stunned after hearing that Li Yuntian had come to Yanzhou Mansion in the big tent, although he had not seen Li Yuntian but heard about Li Yuntian's deeds after coming to Jiaozhi, who could reverse the situation in Jiaozhi in more than a year and force the Jiaozhi rebels into a predicament.

In Dogsa's view, Li Yuntian, as the supreme commander of the Ming army in Jiaozhi, is usually busy with official business, and it seems that he can't stop Li Yuntian from going out in person to comfort the Ming army of the state capital, so he feels a little confused about Li Yuntian's intention, after all, Li Yuntian will not come to the state capital for no reason.

"Our occupation of the city is a country not to be conquered by Ming Taizu, if the Ming army wants to rely here, it will violate the ancestral teachings of Ming Taizu, and those pedantic officials in the Ming court will definitely not tolerate the Ming army destroying the reputation of the Ming Dynasty as a state of etiquette."

In the face of Wu Qian's inquiry, Dogesa pondered for a moment, frowned tightly and said, "Since the royal family has been slaughtered by the Jiaozhi rebels, my father is worried that some officials of the Ming court will take Annan as an example and take the opportunity to annex my city!" ”

"Although the royal family is gone, my father and Uncle Lunds are still there, and they can be elected as the new king of Champ." Wu Qian didn't expect this, she was slightly stunned, and then said with a frosty mask.

The so-called Annan example, refers to the royal family of Annam was killed by Li Jichen, because Annam is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming army sent troops to recruit, and later because the Annam royal family has died, so it was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, unlike Annam, Champa not only implements a federal system, but when the royal family of the Champa king is killed, there is a good chance that Dogesa and Lunders will be elected as the new king by the chieftains below, and it is a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, not a vassal state.

Although the subordinate kimono is only one word apart, the meaning is very different, and the subject state is similar to the vassal state of the Ming vassal king, whose military, economic, and diplomatic affairs are under the control of the Ming dynasty, such as Korea and Annam.

The subject state was much more relaxed, with independent sovereignty but submission to the Ming Dynasty, and the appointment of its king was subject to the permission of the Great Emperor, who usually did not interfere in its internal affairs, such as the Champ city.

It is worth mentioning that due to the existence of the tributary system, there was only one emperor in East Asia during the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, the Son of Heaven of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the monarchs of the rest of the countries were called kings.

"Having said that, the appointment of a new king must be approved by the Ming Emperor, and if someone obstructs it, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble." After all, Dogesa had a lot of experience, and when he heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

Where is the matter as simple as Wu Qian thought, because Zhancheng surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so every new king must be appointed by the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow, once the Ming Dynasty does not recognize the elected king, then the situation can become very bad.

Since Annan belonged to the Ming Dynasty, the city of Zhancheng has bordered the Ming Dynasty, and its strategic significance to the Ming Dynasty has risen from a subject state to the status of a subject country, and Dogesa is worried that the Ming army will take advantage of this incident of Jiaozhi rebels to take the opportunity to annex the city.

Seeing that Dogesa's feelings were a little low, Wu Qian realized the severity of the situation, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, for Zhancheng, Daming was completely a giant like a living being, and Zhancheng had no power to fight back in front of Daming.

"Report!" Just when the atmosphere in the tent became dull and depressing, a sergeant of Champa hurriedly broke into the tent, knelt down on one knee in front of the door, and said urgently to Dogesa, "Just now the scouts came to report that a large number of Jiaozhi rebels were rushing towards our camp, and at this time it was less than ten miles away from our army!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Dogesa couldn't help but be taken aback, and stood up suddenly, but he knew that the Jiaozhi rebels were now almost exhausted, and the implication of the large-scale transfer at this time was very obvious, that is, they wanted to break through.

This was very surprising to Dogesa, in his opinion, the best way for the Jiaozhi rebels to break through should be the defense area of the Nanzhang army, and the Jiaozhi rebels did this on the first two occasions, and he never imagined that the rebels would choose the defense area of the occupation army to escape.

"Quick, inform the Grand Chief of Lundus, and gather the generals to discuss the big tent!"

However, Dogesa quickly reacted, and hurriedly gave the order to the sergeant who reported the news, and the sergeant quickly turned around and ran out.

In Dogesa's view, the rebels did this by surprise, and compared with the Nanzhang military defense area, which was waiting for the battle, although the Champa army had 60,000 people, its combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Ming army, so it chose the Champa military defense area as a breakthrough.

"Father, Yi'an Mansion has become the death place of the Jiaozhi rebels, and they will definitely fight to the death in order to escape from the encirclement!" After the sergeant left in a hurry, Wu Qian couldn't help but say to Dogesa worriedly.

"You immediately go to Yanzhou City to ask General Li for help, if the Ming army does not arrive in time, we alone will not be able to stop the rebels in Jiaozhi." Dogesa groaned for a moment, and instructed Wu Qian with a stern expression, "Remember, you must let the Ming army come as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in for a catastrophe." ”

"Father, are you saying that General Li will not be rescued when he dies, and then we will be held accountable for letting the rebels go?" Wu Qian was stunned at first, then reacted, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"There are some things you don't know, at that time, General Li wanted to let the Ming army and our army mix, but you and Uncle Lunders were worried that he would let our army charge in front and die in vain, so we chose to be stationed separately, and made a military order, and we will never let the Jiaozhi rebels pass through our army's defense area."

Dogesa smiled bitterly, and explained helplessly, "Our army is only eighty miles away from the Ming army's camp, once one side is attacked, the other side will soon come to support, but now it seems that if the Ming army has any intention to occupy the city, there is a chance that it will not come to the rescue, and the Jiaozhi rebels will be difficult to resist this time, and it will inevitably be punished at that time, and the domestic situation will be controlled by the Ming army." ”

"Aren't they afraid to let go of the Jiaozhi rebels?" Wu Qian never thought that there was such a complicated reason for this, and asked after being stunned for a moment.

"In the past two years, Li Zongbing has implemented a lot of benevolent government in Jiaozhi, and eradicated the original elite class in Jiaozhi, established a new political system and elite class, and consolidated the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Dogesa shook his head, his expression was a little gloomy, "General Li is indeed a powerful figure, he saw the root cause of the Jiaozhi rebellion and cleaned it up, both grace and power, and Jiaozhi will definitely have long-term peace and stability in the future, which is not a good thing for me to occupy the city." ”

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely let Mr. Li send troops to rescue." Wu Qian realized the severity of the situation from Dogesa's words and deeds, said solemnly, and then walked quickly to the tent door.

"Father, take care!" When she arrived at the tent door, Wu Qian suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Dogesa with a concerned expression.

Dogsa smiled when she heard this, waved her hand to Wu Qian, and motioned for her to leave quickly, so as not to delay the time.

Wu Qian bit her lip when she saw this, opened the door of the tent and walked away quickly without looking back, she knew that the fate of Dogesa and the others was tied to her, no matter what, she had to let Li Yuntian send troops to help.

"Hopefully!" Looking at Wu Qian's departing back, Dogesa couldn't help muttering a sentence to himself, and then followed out of the camp tent, and went to the big tent to discuss the fight against the Jiaozhi rebels with an expressionless face.

In Dogesa's view, the situation of the Jiaozhi rebels is already very difficult, and tonight's breakthrough rebels are likely to make a desperate gamble and concentrate all their forces to attack the defense area of the occupation army, which means that there will be a bloody battle, and I don't know how many people will die here.

Although this battle has been awaited for a long time, he wants to eliminate the Jiaozhi rebels to avenge the slaughter of the Champa soldiers and civilians, but due to a series of inopportune actions of the Ming army in the city, he can't help but worry, now the main force of the Champa army is here, in case of heavy casualties, then it will become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.

However, now that the situation is critical, Dogesa can no longer take care of much, and the top priority is to stop the menacing Jiaozhi rebels.
