In a short period of time, Nanyang has undergone such a big change, the change of the hegemony of a region, has always caused a lot of movement, thinking of this Liu Xin, Yang Ku and others can't help but worry, it seems that Sun Xing really wants to lead the army to Nanyang as soon as possible.

Wang Ze couldn't take too much care of what you gentlemen thought, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this: "I really never thought that the prince of Funan, who was beaten by us in Jiaozhou, would be so powerful!" It's come to this point! ”

Wang Ze looked at everyone and sighed: "You gentlemen don't know, King Zhenla is the prince of Bavabanan who participated in the war in Jiaozhou and Linyi at the beginning. ”

Hearing Wang Ze's statement, Liu Xin, Yang Ku and the others were already frowning, and now they wrinkled even more, if this is the case, the matter over there in Nanyang will not be easy to handle.

When the emerging hegemon in a place has just risen, because he has to face the opposition of many old forces, he can still befriend him before he gains a firm foothold and obtain a certain amount of mutual support, but now the lord of this emerging power has an enmity with his own side, then things are completely different.

Especially after these people knew that it was because of Wang Ze's intervention that they completely cut off the ambition of Prince Bavabanan to seek the position of crown prince, they knew that this matter could not be good, even if an ordinary person made a feud with others, he would remember it for a few years or more than ten years.

What's more, the other party is not only the lord of a country, but also the lord of an emerging power that has replaced the old hegemon, in fact, judging from the strength of the Zhenla country, if it is on the ground in the East China Sea, of course the Xia country will not take it too seriously, but the current situation is that his base in the South Seas is at the door of the people's house, so it is a little difficult to deal with.

"Your Majesty, is it the idea that this Zhenla Kingdom is attacking our cities in the South Seas?" Yang asked with an old face, If this is the case, then all parts of the South Seas, which have been consuming very little and producing a lot, will have to increase their guard forces, so that the financial expenditure of the Xia Kingdom in the East China Sea will be much more.

Wang Ze nodded and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yang, this is indeed the case, and Zhenla Country is only one of the countries that have the idea of attacking our base, and the most dangerous cities in Nanyang are the two places in Borneo at Surabaya City (Kuching) and Bandar Seri Begawan.

In addition to the kingdom of Chenla in the north eyeing the two cities on Borneo, the kingdom of Sri Buddha in the west of Borneo is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the western part of Borneo, hundreds of miles west of Surabaya City, is their territory, so this is also the country that poses the greatest threat to Surabaya City! ”

Compared with the emerging kingdom of Chenla in Thailand and Cambodia, the kingdom of Sri Buddha, whose main territory is located on the island of Sumatra, is also part of the territory in western Borneo, so it can be said that the threat to the two cities of Surabaya is greater than that of Chenla.

Sri Buddha was an old power that was only established later than the Funan Kingdom, and because it controlled the famous Strait of Malacca, merchant ships from east to west had to pass through their territory, so it was also a very wealthy country.

In the past, the wild Borneo was not valued by the Sri Buddha kingdom, and their national power and economic center of gravity were in the later island of Sumatra, and Temasek (Singapore), which was an important source of tax for them, was also an important source of tax for them.

However, when Wang Ze gradually built Surabaya City in the north and northeast of Borneo, and after the Dragon City (Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei), the land here was gradually developed and utilized, although there were only less than 30,000 people in the two places, but the wealth created was amazing.

With the abundance of products in these two places, and the gradual increase in the number of merchant ships in the East China Sea, the land of Sri Buddha's kingdom in western Borneo began to reap a lot of profits, and he was able to make a lot of profits every year just by trading with the Han people of Surabaya City.

In their opinion, these Han people can create so much wealth, but they do not have the corresponding force to protect themselves, so they began to covet the land of Surabaya City and Lulong Bay.

Although Du Sheng was mainly stationed in Seoul (Manila) in Luhan (Luzon) at the beginning, he also led the fleet to patrol around from time to time, especially in the southwesternmost city of Surabaya, which was the place where Du Sheng came the most.

After all, the wealth of Surabaya City was still limited at that time, and it was unwise to have a war with a powerful force for such a little wealth, so Sri Buddha stopped this intention.

Although the king of the deceased kingdom of Sri Buddha dismissed this idea, he could not stop the following ministers from attacking the idea of Surabaya City, so at the beginning of the previous year, there was even a period of time before that, in order to defend against the invasion of the deceased minister of Sri Buddha, Du Sheng personally led an army to garrison Surabaya City to confront him, and Sun Yu was to replace Du Sheng to garrison Seoul (Manila).

Just when Wei Sheng arrived in Surabaya City, Du Sheng was still distressed by the increasing attacks on Sri Buddha's country, but when he knew that He Liang was trapped, he rushed to rescue him as soon as possible. Reading nests

No matter how complicated the situation is on the border of the South Seas, there are still certain militias in Surabaya City and other cities on the land to defend them, not to mention that Du Sheng and He Liang have known each other since childhood and have a great relationship, so he had to rush to the West to rescue as soon as possible.

"I can't imagine that the situation in Nanyang is so complicated, so with the two great powers of Sri Buddha and Zhenla looking around, I'm afraid that the islands of Nanyang, especially the two cities on Borneo, are in danger, I hope that before General Sun rushes to Nanyang, there will be safe and sound!"

Just when Liu Xin and Yang Ku sighed, who knew that the matter did not end like this, Wang Ze was speechless today, and then continued: "In addition to these two countries eyeing Borneo, there is another country that particularly covets Borneo!" ”

"What? And a powerful country covets Borneo? "Now Lu Wen, Liu Xin and others are completely suppressed, do you want people to live a good life? Three powerful regional powers came out all of a sudden, and they all coveted their territory in Borneo, and it seems that life there will not be easy in the future!

Wang Ze is also very speechless about this, and the third-party forces also have a deep relationship with Funan, after the king of Zhenla annexed Funan, and led Zhenla to replace Funan as the overlord of Nanyang, the former prince of Funan fled to Java Island.

At this time, the island of Java was in chaos, so the former prince of Funan, with the support of tens of thousands of people, established a kingdom on the island of Java that believed in Vajrayana Buddhism (Borobudur), and this empire seems to be known as the Mountain Emperor Dynasty in later generations, also known as the Kingdom of Charentra.

At this time, although there were many people on the island of Java, there was still no unified empire, so after the establishment of the country, the prince of Funan gradually conquered the surrounding tribes in only one year, and gradually occupied one-third of the island of Java.

Although the territory of the Charentra Kingdom only occupied one-third of the area of Java Island at this time, with the favorable natural conditions on this island and the large population, the kingdom's national strength increased rapidly, and it was already able to compete with the newly rising Zhenla Kingdom.

After establishing the empire, the king of the Charentra Kingdom was of course unwilling to lose his position in Funan, so he began to send a fleet to explore the north many times this year, preparing to find a suitable springboard, ready to counterattack back to Funan at any time, and regain the position he lost.

In this way, Borneo happened to be in an important position between Chenla, Sri Buddha's Death Kingdom, and the Shatthamlian Empire, so it was also a place where the three major empires of Nanyang paid special attention, so during this time, the threat of the three kingdoms to the Xia stronghold in Nanyang increased greatly.

"This!?" After listening to Wang Ze's story, Liu Xin and Yang Ku glanced at each other, and Yang Ku took two steps forward to Wang Ze and said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the strength of General Sun Xing's fleet alone is still a little weak, and we still need to further strengthen the guardian force there!" ”

"I also know that the strength of Sun Xing's fleet is a little weak, after all, Kan Le still has to defend the safety of Yizhou, so he can't go with him," Wang Ze touched his nose, "It's better like this, let's enrich the naval army of Zhu Liao on the other side of Yizhou, and let him garrison Seoul (Manila)!" ”

"That's not bad," Yang Ku nodded, "After all, Seoul is relatively far away from the three kingdoms of Nanyang, and it is very close to Yizhou, once the situation in Nanyang changes, you can also get the support of Captain Kan Le of Yizhou, so that General Sun can use all his forces in Borneo!" ”

Wang Ze said with a smile: "What Mr. said is right, I am also going to move Zhang Feng's department stationed in the Jinmen Waterway to Ryukyu, and the safety of the Jinmen Waterway will be handed over to the Yang An Department of the Inland Sea Inspection Battalion, so that Jeju Island and Haian Island are in charge of the front line of the Zongli Department, and they can also have no worries!" ”

Wang Ze talked to Yang Ku, but Liu Xin next to him said worriedly: "Your Majesty, after all, this Nanyang garrison is a long-term thing, if it is a short time, it will be fine, but if the garrison is long-term, the output and input there will be completely disproportionate, and it will inevitably drag down our army after a long time!" ”

was reminded by Liu Xin like this, Wang Ze also suddenly discovered this problem, all those strongholds in Nanyang add up to less than 100,000 people, so that the armies of Sun Xing, Zhu Liao, and Du Sheng all add up to more than 10,000 people, and they can't afford to rely on those populations!

So Wang Ze couldn't sit still, and immediately asked Liu Xin: "I don't know if Mr. has any good ideas?" ”

Liu Xin chuckled and said: "This depends on how Your Majesty chooses, if Your Majesty is unwilling to fight with the Three Kingdoms of Nanyang, then you can withdraw all the people of Surabaya City and Baolong Bay, and then sit back and watch the Three Kingdoms fight each other generously!" ”

"Sir, it's a joke," Wang Zezheng said, "The land of the South Seas is the thousand-year-old foundation of my Chinese people in the future, and it must not be given up!" I hope Mr. will teach me! ”
