Chapter 104: Evacuation

On October 30, the 23rd year of the reign of the Khmer army, the Khmer army fully withdrew to the Khmer, and Brahma Rama did the first wrong thing since he ascended the throne, the Khmer withdrew the army, and he was dissatisfied with his father Suriyadi for letting the Khmer army go out to help other countries fight, and after winning the war, he got nothing, and consumed the country's supplies in vain, in his opinion, his father did this very stupidly.

So the first thing he did when he came to power was to end the war, even though many ministers were trying to persuade him not to join the war, and now that Suriyadi was gone, there was no one to restrain him.

As the prime minister, Pongheya could naturally see the stakes, and he thought that as a loyal supporter of Brahma, he could let him listen to what he said, but he did not expect that he would be severely punished by Brahmara.

"Now, I remove the power of Prime Minister Pengheya, and I will no longer accept the Prime Minister." Brahma directly put it in one step, directly exposed his wildness, abolished the prime minister's system, and strengthened the centralization of power. Naturally, Brahmara's approach was opposed by the officials, who also opposed the abolition of the position of Prime Minister of Pongheya, who were members of the Ponja Party and would not watch their own power weakened.

Brahma ignored these officials and left the court directly, indicating that his determination would not change.

The ministers looked embarrassed, what should they do now? Brahmarama simply ignored them, and asked what generation of kings could be so arrogant and ignore so many officials.

So the ministers discussed, and decided to collectively dismiss the government in protest, their idea is very simple, if the country does not have them, it will not function at all, they have mixed up to this point, which is not a person with some skills. Brahma directly dismissed all of them from their positions, and all of them did not look good, they didn't expect Brahma to be so brave and remove so many people at one time, and those who did not express their position were directly cracked, we didn't do anything, they were directly cracked.

Such a large-scale personnel change alarmed many people, such as the nobles, the nobles were directly dumbfounded, the people I just stuffed in, were directly kicked out, Brahma was afraid that if he continued to play, the Khmer would sooner or later be collapsed by him, so the nobles went to persuade Brahma in person.

Brahma has a bad impression of the nobles, after all, these people do not support him to the throne, but everyone is a relative, naturally it is not easy to turn the face, for them, relatives are more important than officials, plus the nobles control more than half of the territory of the Khmer, if it is not good, the Khmer will be divided, which is extremely intolerable to him who enjoys power, so he still has three points of fear of the nobles.

The aristocracy is not as easy to be manipulated by others as the officials, and it is still a long way to go for him to weaken the power of the aristocracy, he has also heard that the control of Pengyu has weakened the Cham nobles several times, and the Cham nobles are currently weakened to less than 1%, he thinks that he is no worse than the Peng, and the Pengyu is secretly competing, and he is ready to eliminate all the nobles in a year.

However, before that, it was necessary to completely control the military power in their own hands, so the Khmer army from the generals to the squad leaders were almost all replaced, and others used their own family members, who were in charge of the security of Brahma before, and their credibility and loyalty were absolutely high, so they sent all these family members to the army, which can also ensure the loyalty of the army to them to the greatest extent.

As for the officials of the court, those important positions naturally have to appoint 'obedient' people, and those people can be talented, as long as they can carry out their orders. So the top-level officials are all the stewards of Brahma or something, and the stewards have no problem with managing their finances, right, record the history books? Any person can be in charge, and in the case of Lile, the old man who has served him for many years will be in charge, and so on.

Finally, the positions at the upper level have been confirmed, and the middle level is to arrange all the remaining arrangements that have not yet been arranged, and then select and mobilize them from various places to the central government, as for the slightly lower appointment of the children of the nobles, they are all relatives who have to take care of them a little, and he also wants to paralyze the nobles first, so as to weaken them.

On the 30th day of October 23, Terengganu and Pahang returned to the hands of Majapahit, looking at the devastated land, the soldiers of Majapahit were full of anger, many of them were from the Malacca region, which was also their hometown, and now their hometown was full of fireworks, and the once prosperous bazaar was also in ruins.

But the bad news also came, Ayutthaya has conquered Malacca and is now launching a new round of scorched earth policy, which has become a hell on earth.

The Cham fleet arrived in Malacca at this time, and the Ayutthayan navy did not attack after seeing it, for them, the rapid increase in naval strength was not due to the weapons provided by the Cham Po? Whether they can fight or not is another matter, if they can't get supplies by mistake, their navy will have to go back to the way it was three years ago.

The two sides negotiated and understood that the Cham fleet was coming to pick up the stranded Champa population, but their hearts slowly sank to the bottom.

"Huh, I'm scared to death, it turned out that I was just picking up the Cham people, their posture, I thought they were at war with us."

"Isn't it? In order to pick up the Cham people, so many fleets were sent, I don't know what they thought, isn't it a big fuss? ”

"Don't discuss it, other people's affairs are not something we can discuss."

So everyone kept silent.

With the help of the Ayutthaya army, the Cham people scattered around the city were safely escorted into the boats, and many wealthy merchants said that they wanted to escape Malacca on the Cham boats, and they could pay for them.

That's right, this is the purpose of making Penglu, to make a lot of money, ship maintenance costs money, naval equipment costs money, everything costs money, it is better to have more fleet, earn some extra money, of course, if the location is enough, you can also bring refugees back, these people can be sent to Siduo, after all, the settlement point is short of people to build, these are good labor.

In order to save their lives, the rich merchants naturally took out a lot of belongings, so the navy took them with them, according to the instructions of the Pengqiao, the navy could only send them to the Natuna Islands, and not to send them back to Vijaya, when the merchants could rent a ship or buy another ship to return to the country, many of these merchants had a lot of goods, which is why the Pengqiao sent them to the Natuna settlement.

"Whew, I'm finally gone." The Ayuthayad army was relieved, and the Majapahit army had broken through Pahang, and they had to hurry up and leave Pahang after the burning.
