Chapter 60: War Breaks Out

The merchants were all sent back to their respective residences, and they all left their addresses to Zheng Shijian, who printed them directly and sent the newspapers directly to the merchants, so that they would not bother to make a trip.

Now the domestic Cham navy ships have been expanded to 500, plus the national trade ships, can reach 1,000 ships, is the largest naval power in the South Seas except for the Majapahit, of course, I am talking about the number, the Majapahit navy does not have a powerful weapon such as naval artillery, although they also have naval artillery, in terms of comprehensive strength, Cham has already reached the top few navies in the world.

At present, the domestic craftsmen have also begun to mobilize, and now they have to hurry up to complete the order of 2,000 cannons required by Zhu Yuanzhang, for this reason, the Pengyu directly recruits workers in the people, as long as they meet the requirements after training, they can join the production, special circumstances should be treated special After all, many people have heard the news, they have now sown the seeds, and it takes a long time to practice before they can mature, and now do something else to make money. Take a higher wage.

This naturally attracted a lot of people, after strict screening, thousands of people were selected from all over the country, the original production of more than 1,000 people was expanded to 10,000 people at once, the production speed was greatly improved, of course, the form is the same as the assembly line, each line of twenty people is responsible for production, 1 hour can produce one, a day can produce about 300 units, the rest of the people are arranged to produce shells, in comparison, the production process of shells is much simpler, of course, it is also an assembly line, each person is responsible for a raw material, When the shell arrives in front of you, you can add a certain amount of raw materials to proceed to the next step, and the workload of each person is not much, so it can be said that it is very easy, and 10,000 shells are produced a day.

After two days of production, the craftsmen selected the right people to stay, and all the rest were dismissed, and of course they were paid.

Those people won't be annoyed, they really don't have the ability of others, and they are already very happy to get 500 copper coins as a reward this time.

In order to transport 600 artillery pieces and 20,000 shells, they used 50 transport ships and 10 ships as escorts, and set out on February 15, the 23rd year of Zhizheng.

The foreign version of the Zhan Bao trade also officially began on February 19, the 23rd year of the Zhizheng, the foreign version of the Zhan Bao generally does not mainly talk about the domestic affairs of the Champa, most of them are talking about the latest state form, such as a certain country and a certain country is directly at war with this one, followed by the foreign version of the entertainment section is larger, the update of Journey to the West is to update all the content of the 1,2,3 issues, at present, the foreign version of the Zhan Bao is only sold in Khmer.

On the 22nd of February in the 23rd year of the 23rd year, the envoy of the Majapahit told the Ayutthaya that Ayutthaya had been at war with the Majapahit, and proudly said that we did not need your help, and that the Majapahit had gathered all the forces of the country on the Malay Peninsula for this war, and the envoy boasted that they would win the war, after all, they were a country with 500,000 standing armies and 10,000 seagoing ships.

This time, Ha Xiang Wulu personally set out and led an army of 500,000 to the north to attack Ayutthaya. Ayuthaya quickly fought back, after all, they were ready for war at any time, and in an instant they had gathered an army of 200,000 troops, and further forced conscription was still being carried out in the country.

Ha Su Wulu directly led his troops to defeat the Kedah Sultanate and invade the Nakhon Kingdom, and the capital city of Negara-Sri Dharma Raja almost lasted only two hours before surrendering as a vassal, which made Ha Wu Lu full of confidence that he was bound to take Ayutthaya in one fell swoop.

Ayutthaya is not the only country that is nervous, Sukhothai, Khmer, Lancang, Bago and the northern states are beginning to be nervous, if Ayutthaya does not resist being breached, I am afraid that all the countries of Indochina will be annexed by him, just like Golden State and Borneo were slowly annexed by Majapahit, so they spontaneously joined the war.

Originally, the conflict between the two countries turned into a large-scale war, and each country sent troops, ships and money.

In fact, even if Majapahit asked Japahit to send troops, he would not necessarily send troops, even if he was an ally, he couldn't watch him become stronger and threaten himself. However, it would be nice not to have him send troops, so that he would not be questioned why he had betrayed the Alliance.

The mobilization speed of the countries is very fast, the countries sent a total of about 150,000 troops to gather in Phetchaburi, Ayutthaya also sent a request to the Cham for help, with the manpower of the Cham can provide at least 100,000 to 200,000 troops, but Ayuthaya's value is not manpower, but the Cham navy, even if their navy is united, they are not sure to defeat the Majapahit navy, if they can pull a country with a strong navy, this war can be evenly matched.

He personally received the envoy of Ayuthya, who said: Your country is too far away from Ayutya, so I implore him to send his navy to help them win the war.

He told the envoy: "This Majapahit and my country have formed a military alliance with each other, isn't it good for you to let me turn against the water like this?" ”

The messenger said, "Your Majesty, if Majapahit defeats Ayuthiya, will it be far from attacking you?" Helping Ayuthia now is helping yourself. ”

He sighed and said, "I'm sorry, we still can't betray our allies. ”

The envoy nodded regretfully, he had persuaded him several times, but it was unsuccessful, and he had to go back to his life.

Looking at the departing envoy, he stopped him and said, "In this way, I have a way to keep your navy from being weaker than Ayuthaya." ”

The messenger immediately stopped and listened to the puff man's words.

"Our country has produced a weapon that will help you win the navy in this war, though." He paused.

The envoy naturally understood the meaning of making puffs, and he said, "We will buy them at the original price." ”

Zheng Pengyu nodded with satisfaction, it was quite good.

"But I'll have to look at the power." The messenger said.

"Of course, that's as it should be." Pengqiao Road.

He then led the messenger to the port of Vijaya, where he took out a naval cannon and fired it on land, with the result that the ship was sunk.

This shocked the envoy, who later learned that the cannon could be used not only on a ship, but also as a coastal gun.

So the two sides signed a contract to order 10,000 artillery pieces.

When the Pengyu took the order to the craftsmen, everyone was stunned, 10,000 doors, a door of 50 taels of gold is 500,000 taels of gold, this has to take out the old bottom of other countries, this is actually the idea of the officials, the real idea of the craftsmen is: 10,000 doors? You want my life, and it's an urgent order.
