Chapter 112: Negotiation
Brahmarama was very upset, he had already gone to the streets several times, and the situation was even worse than he expected, the people gave up on themselves, and there were even anti-war people, and they were divided into two factions, the first was the main surrender faction, and they advocated surrender. The second is the peace talks, who advocate opening the city gates and making peace with the other side. This kind of nature is stupid, open the city gates, and they are willing to sit down and talk to you?
However, everyone believes in forgiveness and forgiveness, as long as you have enough sincerity, I believe that the enemy will not embarrass you. Brahmarama scolded, "A bunch of fools! "Since the founding of the Khmer Angkor Dynasty, the Angkor Dynasty has implemented a policy of foolishness, and those in charge of power are nobles, families, etc., although there are others, but the few are pitiful, and they can be counted on one finger.
Brahmarama felt that he could not go on like this, and if things were allowed to develop, he was afraid that the people would really open the gates of the city to the enemy, which was not what he wanted to see, at least he had to wait until the messenger of peace returned. The Brahma Rama was resolute and happily searched for those who spread the news all the way that day, and only by curbing this phenomenon at the source and then clarifying it by the government could this kind of speech be slowly suppressed.
Brahma began the Great Purge of the city, looking for and arresting people who resembled spies, and this purge program captured many innocent people, and the people were too frightened to talk about state affairs, so they were afraid that they would be suddenly seen, and then they would be taken away and lose their lives. But they confirmed one thing in their hearts, and the reaction was so big, but there were ghosts. As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If there really were no such things, they could have been officially announced by the government, after all, many people are still subject to the prestige of the government.
On January 15, the 24th year of Zhizheng, he received the Khmer envoys, who said that there was a rebel general in their army, and that this rebel had attacked the Champa border, and that they did not want to clash with the Champa.
How can I believe this reason, but the face still has to be given to him, after all, it is not good for things to get out.
Until a messenger comes in and reports......
"Your Majesty, good news, the Xiyuan army has broken Shangding, and now it is heading in the direction of Angkor Thom." The messenger beamed.
The face of the maker is embarrassed, the messenger is still here, and you don't pay attention to the occasion, this kind of thing is embarrassing for both parties.
The messenger looked at the Khmer envoy, suddenly realized, and looked back, rest assured, I understand.
Then he went on and said, "Your Majesty, the siege of our army in Shangding went very smoothly, and after only seven days of siege, the enemy city lord announced his surrender, and then opened the city gate to give way to the city, I think, most of it is because of Your Majesty......"
Zhi Pengyu looked at him and said a lot, people were stunned, this young man would be wrong, I asked him not to say it, why did he talk about it again.
The messenger is still talking, and he can only listen to it with a cheeky face, as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. However, it was necessary to stop in moderation, and after saying half of the words, he let the messenger go down first.
The envoy took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to give Phnom Penh to Your Majesty, and we only hope to resolve this misunderstanding." ”
As soon as he was thinking about how to extort a sum of money, no, he came. But the territory is not what he needs, what he needs is money, it may be that he is poor and afraid, just thinking about making money.
He shook his head, and the envoy shook his head when he saw it, and he thought that too, most of the Khmer had already been captured, and they would definitely not be satisfied with ceding only one Phnom Penh.
The messenger said, "We are willing to give Kratie to Your Majesty again." ”
This young man really didn't know how to go, so he made a gesture to ask for money.
The envoy suddenly realized that he was asking for money, so he asked directly, "How much does Your Majesty want?" We'll try to get you all together. ”
The eyes of the puff man looked at him changed, and he suddenly felt that he was still quite good, so he took out two fingers, "This count." ”
The messenger said, "Your Majesty, we really can't afford two million." ”
"What two million taels, it's two hundred thousand taels, I know that your country is in trouble." Pengqiao Road.
The messenger is grateful to Dade, this is also great, he only needs to pay 200,000 taels and Phnom Penh.
He also has a per capita GDP to reach the goal of developed countries, and now the country's funds are basically invested in the construction of the trade center in Natuna and the province of Priango and the Sita settlement, and these expenses alone have used him nearly 300,000 taels of silver, and the 500,000 taels of silver he just saved last year has also been used six or seven out of ten, of course, this is not counting the income of the 23 years.
The envoy then took his leave, and set out on the road back to Angkor Thom, where he had heard that Shang Dinh had been breached, and now that the army was marching towards Angkor, his time was running out.
On January 17, the 24th year, when there was no sound in all parts of Angkor Thom, Brahma was very satisfied, and finally suppressed the anti-war sentiment, so on this day, he announced the public execution in the bazaar, and demanded that all households participate, and those who did not participate were punished as treason.
Naturally, people did not dare to go against the wishes of Brahmarama, and they were afraid that they would be the next victims, so they did not say a word.
The number of people executed this time is nearly 1,000 people, whether they are spies or not, the people below naturally know that there are indeed spies here, but the number is not much, the real murderer is still at large, as soon as the spies sent by Maya Kuiyudo completed the task, they were arranged to escape from Angkor Thom, they naturally could not find where the murderer was, but the spy network established by other countries here was destroyed, and the spies of these other countries were naturally considered to be the murderers of this incident.
Nearly 1,000 people were separated, and many people could not bear to look at their monarch directly, and their monarch was so brutal that some of them decided to overthrow the tyrant regime, whether it was to overthrow the Angkor dynasty or join other countries, as long as they could live well, they would join anyone.
On January 18, the 24th year of Zheng, the Yuan-Han War officially ended, and neither side finally gained benefits, but greatly consumed their strength, so the beneficiaries of this war were undoubtedly the Wu State that gained territory and the Ming Xia regime that did not join the war.
On January 19, the 24th year of Zheng, the city of Angkor is now quiet and strange, and Maya Kuiyudo outside the city also feels strange, why don't those people make trouble today?
