Chapter 131: Discussion

The envoys of the Bo Ni Kingdom came with a very clear intention, hoping that the Cham could intervene in their war of independence and help them get rid of the control of the Majapahit, and they naturally knew that the relationship between the Cham and the Majapahit was extraordinary, but the terms of the Manchu-Arab war clearly stated that the Champa and the Majapahit had cancelled the alliance, and because of this clause, the two sides could no longer put forward the intention of concluding a military alliance for at least three years. That's right, not even the will.

Majapahit actually doesn't matter, after all, the family is big, there is no shortage of this one ally, and the military help given to them by Cham is really not much, with the current relationship, Majapahit can still rely on the friendship between the two countries to get trade in grain and other products. As for the Pengyu people, they don't feel much about this clause that is a bit against them, but the folk reaction of the Cham is quite big. Now the exit of the Cham is not like the beginning, in the past, the Cham people were isolated and helpless, now the Cham has the power of self-preservation, even without the help of foreign forces, can repel the attacks of various countries, so the desire for the alliance is not so strong, as a good young man in later generations, there is no habit of forming gangs.

Now it's his turn to make a puff of money, once he helps the countries of Borneo, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Majapahit, and making enemies with a regional power is not what he wants to do, he has to consider all aspects as the head of a country, Majapahit has provided Lakshmi with enough goods and also provides an extremely broad market, and he is an out-and-out rich man. From the perspective of self-interest, in order to help the small countries of Borneo become independent, it was really worth the loss, and in the end, the commander refused to send troops to Borneo.

The envoys of Bo Ni were helpless, what if they rejected him, they were not like those countries in Ayutaya, they did not have the financial resources to afford the weapons of the Chams, after all, during the period of being a vassal state, they had to contribute at least half of the annual taxes, and it was difficult to maintain the army with the remaining money, and how could there be any surplus money in the treasury.

In the end, the Bo mud envoy could only return in vain, since he could not persuade the Pengyu to help them, then he might as well return to China as soon as possible to report the situation to the king, and let the king make another plan as soon as possible, the Cham can not be counted on, there is this time to play in the Cham method, it is better to find some other more reliable countries to help them, such as Malacca and other countries that have just become independent from the hands of Majapahit, and the success rate of going to these countries to help them is much greater than the success rate of coming to Cham for help.

On April 2, the 24th year, the southern part of the Sultanate of Belao was broken by the Majapahit, and then to the north was the largest mountainous area of Borneo, and the Manchu army rarely fought in the mountainous area, so the Majapahit army finally stopped its march to the north for a while, and it took them some time to completely break through Belau. The small country in the southwest corner, with its long coastline and the precipitation from the 8th century to the present, has also survived several waves of Majapahit's offensives, but due to the flat terrain of the single heavy Bulo country, it is not difficult for the army to push over, and for Majapahit, it is a matter of time before the single heavy Bulo country is conquered.

On April 3, the 24th year of Zheng, Ruan Van Zhao and others browsed the Lakshmi copper mine, he had never seen a copper mine, and he was naturally full of curiosity about all this, such as now he is like a curious baby, asking questions, such as: Why is copper ore this color? Why is the copper so different from this color?

The person in charge of the Lakshmi copper mine said that he had never seen so many questions, and that they had no answers to these questions, and that the discovery of copper was purely accidental, and that the mineral was later written down and later generations knew that it was the raw material for copper.

Nguyen Van Zhao also personally observed the smelting of copper ore, from copper ore to copper, in short, it was a boring reduction process, but those sailors were fascinated, they had never seen such a miraculous thing, changing one substance into another, isn't this the alchemy mastered by the legendary alchemist?

Nguyen Van Zhao has visited all the steps of copper smelting, and the Lakshmi copper mine has now formed an assembly line, and no one indigenous person will be able to completely master the copper smelting technology.

The next day, the Water Tribe sent people to surround the mine, and the posture looked like there were hundreds of people.

"What's going on?" Ruan Wenzhao was a little curious, "Is this the scene you arranged?" ”

Hou Zongsheng's face was solemn, he didn't know how to engage in these scenes, he said: "Acting a hair, this is a real game." The siege launched by this group of natives against us. ”

"I lost it, and I caught up with such a lucky thing." Nguyen Van Zhao said.

"Hey, you're so lucky, this kind of thing has happened to you. You're a scourge, and things are going to happen as soon as you come. Hou Zongsheng said.

"This aside, we are very dangerous now, what are you going to do? The key now is how to resolve the current crisis. Nguyen Van summoned.

"You can rest assured, our mine is like a city, surrounded by cement, and they can't attack it in the short term." Hou Zongsheng said.

"We also have a garrison in Lakshmi, and now there are many natives in the mines, and we can take them hostage, presumably through the double threat, these natives will not dare to attack us." Hou Zongsheng continued.

In fact, the Water Tribe did not attack in the first place, they knew that they would never be able to bear it in the face of Sita with their forces, they just got the order of the chief to come to Lakshmi, as for what was going on, they didn't know anything at all.

Soon, Hou Zongsheng shouted at the city gate: "Are you besieging this place to break the agreement with us?" This area is already ours. ”

Soon the chief came out and replied, "Your Excellency, we have come here to ask for an explanation. ”

Hou Zongsheng and Ruan Wenzhao glanced at each other, and Ruan Wenzhao said to Hou Zongsheng: "Did you kid do something wrong, now people are looking for it." ”

Hou Zongsheng punched Ruan Wenzhao: "You kid, don't wronged me." ”

Hou Zongsheng shouted below: "If you want to talk to me, just tell me, there is no need to make such a big move." ”

"We did this in the hope of inviting God to bring you out, but what we didn't expect was that you were here."

"Say it."

"Recently, the language of the divine messenger has prevailed in our tribe, according to my words, where can we vulgar people learn the language of God, I strictly restricted the use of words in the tribe at first, and strictly required that the use of the word of God should not be used, but they repeatedly taught it, and later learned that it was taught in the mine."
