Chapter 67: The War Ends
When Ha Xian Wulu received the report from the Cham envoys, they were very helpless that their grain was about to ripen in mid to late April, and now the Cham could not provide food, so he said to the messengers, "Can you be accommodating for a few more days?" ”
The envoy remembered what he had said, and said, "Raja, it's not that we don't want to be accommodating, but our current grain has basically been bought by your country, and there is really no food left. ”
Ha Xiang Wulu sighed, he knew that he had failed this northern expedition, and he wanted to take advantage of these few days to fight for the greatest benefits, such as the ownership of Mari and Phetchaburi, such as indemnity or something.
He sent an envoy to Champa to thank him, and on the other hand, he prepared to form a negotiating team, and on the other hand, he continued the attack of unbelievers, and the attack was stronger than before, with the sole purpose of making the enemy submit.
On April 12, the 23rd year of Zhengzheng, the two sides officially began negotiations, and the allied forces naturally strongly rejected the Manjapahit's request to cede Mali, Phetchaburi and other places, and if these places were given to them, they were afraid that they would directly interfere in internal affairs in the future, and it was estimated that if they showed a little fatigue, the Majapahit would intervene in the war.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a day and a night, arguing over the terms, and the Cham did not continue to provide food to the Majapahit from this day onwards, and with the remaining surplus now, they could barely last three or four days with a little frugality, and before that, the contract had to be settled, otherwise they would be counterattacked.
On January 10, the 23rd year of Zheng, Li Siqi and Zou Xing fought in Kuizhou in the north, and the strength of both sides of the war reached nearly 200,000, once Zou Xing lost, the north would be unable to stop the attack of the Yuan army and Li Siqi for a short time.
Ming Yuzhen also knew the importance of this war, and insisted on mobilizing all the troops except for guarding Yunnan and other places to the north to participate in the war, so the scale of the war was also expanding step by step.
On January 15, the twenty-third year of Zheng, the total strength of the war reached 300,000, of which the Yuan side dispatched more than 80,000 cavalry, the terrain of Shu is not very flat, and the power is naturally not as strong as in the plain, the number of bronze firearms on both sides is also nearly 5,000, and most of the remaining soldiers are militia or national army.
The northern Jurchens and Warat Mongolia are also ready to move, the East China Sea, Beishan, Haixi and other Jurchens have the idea of unifying the Jurchen Ministry, in order to ensure that the Jurchen Ministry is under the control of the Northern Yuan, the Northern Yuan also sent a considerable part of the troops to suppress the rebellion, and the East and West Chagatai, these two countries are not willing to maintain the status quo, want to get more fertile pastures, now the situation in the imperial court is in a mess, if they can stay in the imperial court, they will become the overlord of the grassland.
On January 18, the 23rd year of Zheng, the Yuan army was defeated and withdrew from Kuizhou, and Li Siqi was not angry after the defeat, after all, in the war, they caused more casualties.
On April 15, the 23rd year of Zheng, the two sides signed a peace treaty, ceding Buri to Majapahit, and the alliance of the allied states was dissolved, in addition, there was also a symbolic compensation of 1,000 taels of gold, Rama Tiebodhi and the allied states naturally wanted to end the war as soon as possible, this war they have spent too much manpower and material resources in it, if it is not for the food harvest, it is estimated that they will soon be disintegrated.
On April 16, the Majapahit army retreated to the Malacca area, they stationed 20,000 defenders of Daviet in Buri, and all the militia were disbanded and sent back to their hometowns.
In this war, they used a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and they were afraid that they would not be able to recover in the short term, and in the end they only got a buri, which is really completely unequal to what they paid and what they receive, Ha Xiang Wulu smiled bitterly, I am afraid that the recovery of grain reserves alone will have to be on board for a year or two.
Naturally, the coalition countries are not much better, they have almost emptied their manpower reserves, food, and property are also spent a lot, larger countries like Ayutthaya and Khmer are okay, small states like Manipur want to restore the pre-war level, I am afraid it will take more than ten years, they are also defeated countries in the war, and they have not gained anything, but presumably Ayuthya, their losses are still small, after all, they only lost some money, this time, they also successfully bought naval artillery, Their navy has also been strengthened accordingly, and if it were not for the lack of money, they would like to buy more.
After restoring control of Phetchaburi and other places, Rama Tie Bodhi announced in Phetchaburi about the migration of the population of Buri, and asked all the Tai people in Mali to move back to the country.
Ha Xiang Wulu strictly controlled the movement of people, and at the same time made measures to reduce the loss of population such as reducing local taxes, but even so, there are still many people who leave Mali and flee to Ayutya, and the population growth rate once reached -4%.
Thang Long Palace Museum is currently open for almost half a month, the museum has a total of 300,000 views, almost half of the population of Thang Long, the latest newspaper advertising section is also an advertisement for the opening of Thang Long Palace, naturally it has also attracted a lot of outsiders to browse, therefore, the hotel industry has developed rapidly, Thang Long a place, there are 100 hotels under construction.
Roads around the country are also under construction, the current coverage rate of 30%, this number is still increasing, after all, to repair the road first and then repair the road, Hai Phong City's cement plant is in short supply, the existing workers more than 10,000 people, the products are sold all over the country, there is currently the intention to build a branch plant, ready to start construction on April 18 officially started.
Recently, the Yuan army did not know what chicken blood to fight, and began to make calculations for the north of the country, originally from the thirteenth century, the Mongols on the three expeditions to the country of Dayue, mobilized nearly a million troops, did not take a Dayue, the Mongols are good at cavalry combat, to the jungle, the cavalry has no advantage at all, on the contrary, it will drag down the soldiers to fight, coupled with miasma, greatly reducing the combat ability of the Yuan army.
Now that the Yuan army is about to make a comeback, the control of Pengyu is naturally nervous, after all, the Mongols have conquered many countries with their iron hooves, and now they are being targeted by the Mongols. The strategy of controlling Pengyu was to unite He Zhen, Shao Zongyu and others in Guangdong to resist the invasion of the Yuan army, so they sent envoys to He Zhen and Shao Zongyu to ask for protection.
Of course, the control of Pengyu is not at all intimidated by the Mongols, in these remote places, how many Yuan troops can they come up with, and in the north alone, there are more than 80,000 Cham troops stationed, and there is a fleet of 1,000 warships in Haiphong, if you want to stop the Yuan army, these strengths are completely enough to stop the Mongols.
