548. Chapter 548 Champa Returns Lord Ruan Massacres the City
Tang Yin had been looking thoughtful. When he saw Qian Wubing looking towards him, he coughed and said, "The student seems to have remembered that the former Emperor Zong of the Song Dynasty conquered Linyi, which is now Champa. It seems that he encountered
As for this kind of ferocious beast, it seems to be mentioned in the classics that this kind of ferocious beast can be defeated by a lion and a tiger, but now we are on the vast sea, where are we going..."
"Mr. Tang, you know that's not what I want to ask!" Qian Wubing interrupted him, "You and I have been getting along for a long time. I think you know a little bit about what kind of person Qian is. Qian is
I would like to ask, if Qian really wants to influence the Champa King, does the Champa King have enough reasons for Qian to take action?"
"Champa is willing to be the vassal of the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation and pay tribute year after year!" Tang Yin said. Seeing that Qian Wubing's expression did not change, he added: "Panluo clan is willing to store the secret treasury used for the restoration of the country in the past.
Dedicate them all to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Oh!" Qian Wubing's eyes lit up: "Is it dedicated to the Ming Dynasty?"
"To the Panluo family, your Excellency is the Ming Dynasty!" Tang Yin didn't know what Qian Wubing meant: "Maybe the student didn't make it clear when he communicated with him, so the student should confirm it now!"
"Well, this is very important!" Qian Wubing nodded. The secret library sounds like a high-end thing, so the value of it is very small. But if it is dedicated to Ming Dynasty, then it has nothing to do with him. Qian Wubing, no
What does it have to do with his Sihai fleet?
Tang Yin left in a hurry, Wang Yu looked at his back, lowered his head, and said to Qian Wubing: "Actually, sir, I think we have to take action regardless of whether there is this secret treasury, this city is ours
The first stop on the Ming Dynasty's journey to the west, this place is not unimportant. If we go further, we don't know how long it will take to reach a place where supplies can be supplied. And this place has always been close to our Ming Dynasty. If it is just like this, the people of Vietnam
If you take it, it will be a loss to you adults and to our Ming Dynasty!"
"If we fight to kill and injure our brothers to capture this place, and when we leave, this place will be taken over by the Dayue people, won't our work be in vain!?" Qian Wubing stared at him: "Kaijiang
Expanding land! I know your ambition, but do you know how many bloody corpses are behind the four words "opening up territory and expanding land!"
Wang Yu lowered his head sadly. He didn't know this truth. However, with this opportunity in front of him, he couldn't bear it. If tens of thousands of troops from the Dayue Kingdom were stationed here, then that would be fine. However, the three
Four thousand soldiers and horses are still weak soldiers like barbarians. If he is so eager to see that the opportunity to incorporate this city and country into the territory of the Ming Dynasty is passed by, he will not be willing to do so!
"Let's see if the Champa King knows how to do it!" Qian Wubing patted his shoulder: "If there are huge benefits, needless to say, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, your adults will also jump in.
of!"
What does Panluo Shi do? Of course he knows how to do it. He not only knows how to do it, but also knows how to do it beyond Qian Wubing's imagination. When Tang Yin brought him to him, he learned that it was the secret treasury where the wealth of his family had been stored for generations.
When he couldn't impress the other party, he knew what he should do to get help from the Ming general. He had already lost everything, so what else did he have to worry about losing!
"He said that he was willing to dedicate Champa to the Ming Dynasty and bring it under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, there will no longer be a Panluo King of Champa. After the army conquers the city, the only one who can rule Champa is the governor of Champa of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Let the good people rest and recuperate. When the time comes to use the army, there will still be a place to rely on them. Even if we don't help them, I will not stand idly by for the sake of the innocent people who occupy the city. I am worried about the Ming Dynasty!"
Qian Wubing comforted the other party with his kind words, and then looked at Panluo and stepped back with great gratitude.
The suppressed excitement of the people in the room suddenly burst out after Panluo and others exited.
"My lord, my lord, this is a real expansion of territory. Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is an enclave far away from the sea, it is not something that the Vietnamese can invade at will!" Wang Yu was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
: "Then let's imagine that the territory that was originally occupied by the Chengcheng Kingdom, which was invaded by the Dai Viet and Zhenla people, can be fought back justifiably. Where teachers come from great teachers, great teachers come with great reputations!"
"I know that Mr. Tang is going to work with Panluo today to complete the paperwork for the return. There is no proof for what he said. For such a big matter, the documents and seals must be complete. Wang Yu, go and inform your
Help brother, Si Niang, summon more than a hundred officers to the flagship!" Qian Wubing was also a little excited: "Let me tell you, our city has been occupied by a group of barbarians!"
…
Let's not talk about the Ming Dynasty soldiers gearing up and the mighty Ming Dynasty fleet sailing towards Champa for the moment. Let us turn our attention to the smoke billowing from Champa.
To be precise, this city should not be called Champa. Its name should be Vijaya, and Champa means the city where the king lives. However, at present, Vijaya is the last city in Champa, so it seems to be called
There is nothing wrong with him for occupying the city.
Panluo returned Champa to the Ming Dynasty. Don't think he was wronged. In fact, during the Han Dynasty, Champa belonged to Xianglin County of Rinan County. The so-called Yueshang boundary was conquered by the Tang people and also by the Song people.
It was once conquered, and in the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan directly set up the "Jinghu Champa Xingzhongshu Province" to bring Champa under his rule. During this period, Champa was ruled by the Annan people and the Chenla people for many days.
, in short, if we want to talk about the historical origins, there is really no reason why Panluo dedicated Champa to the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, Champa has been bullied by its neighbors since ancient times, and it was not easy to escape.
He was a capable king, but within a few days of his success, he was counterattacked and fell into disgrace.
So, we are going to hug the thigh anyway, why not pick the thickest one to hug! Don’t think Panluo is a fool, he is nothing at all, but he is very smart. Even if the Ming Dynasty regains this city, will this city really be destroyed?
Has the Ming Dynasty ruled? At that time, it is not necessary to rely on him. This means that he has found a backer for nothing without paying any price. As for the nominal things, in this situation, will he still care?
Compared to his elder brother, Pan Luo was far inferior to his elder brother in terms of talent and strategy. Champa once had 50,000 troops and seven or eight cities. However, the Dai Viet people definitely did not like their neighbors becoming stronger, so they launched a series of conquests.
, this was the only one left in the city, and his elder brother was also captured alive by the powerful Li Shengzong during the war and then beheaded.
After being retreated steadily, he led the remnant army and struggled to support himself. Finally, when Le Thanh Tong died, he thought that civil strife had begun in Dai Viet and he would gain a chance to breathe by occupying the city. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the two Dai Viet who were busy fighting for power.
The prince, someone actually hadn't forgotten them, and brought thousands of soldiers and horses with great force to kill them all.
Lord Nguyen, the general of the second prince of Dai Viet Kingdom, Le Ke, who led the invasion, was always known for his cruelty. His army never left any surrendered soldiers, and he himself was also known for his love of eating human livers. For this reason , the nearly two thousand soldiers in the city resisted for a few more days with more than their usual strength, giving Panluo a chance to escape.
However, the consequence of this determined resistance was that Lord Ruan slaughtered the city without mercy for three days.
Except for craftsmen and young women, everyone is eligible to be killed. What the Dai Viet people want is this city and its location. As for the Champa people in the city, they have no mercy at all.
Lord Ruan was standing outside the mountain gate of this tall temple, staring ahead.
In front of him, there was the majestic sea on one side and the city with thick smoke on the other. It was very obvious that he was standing high, moving and still.
Different from the rumors, Lord Ruan is not the kind of ferocious butcher with a sinister face. In fact, his dark and thin figure is no different from the vast majority of people in Dai Viet, and those around him look at him as if they are staring at him. The soldiers of the gods are no different. If there is any difference, it is that his eyes, when condensed, seem to be an indestructible sword, sharp and wild!
"General, those Portuguese are making trouble again, saying that they have their property in the city and asking us to protect them to get it back. According to your order, they have been brought here!"
"It's all ours!" Lord Ruan sneered: "They want to snatch things from us. Do they think I'm a coward like Li Ke? Bring them here!"
This group of Portuguese people were forcibly brought here after Lord Nguyen destroyed the city. As residents of the Portuguese Kingdom's colonial settlement, we should not expect that all of them are good and law-abiding people. Although the killings in the city are shocking, But what they are concerned about is the property they left behind in the city when they were forcibly taken out.
He tilted his ears, as if listening carefully to the translators conveying the meaning of the Portuguese, and a faint smile appeared on Lord Ruan's rock-like face.
"We will return your property to you, not a penny less!" He nodded: "It's just that my soldiers are still fighting in the city, and we have to wait until the war stops!"
A group of Portuguese people are desperately exaggerating their losses. This general is so easy to talk to. If he doesn't point out more at this time, he would be a fool.
"I said, silver is not a problem, gold is not a problem, it can only be more than what you ask for, not less!" Lord Ruan smiled and nodded, like a kind neighbor next door: "It's just, What can you do to repay my kindness!"
"General, you have conquered this city, is there anything else you can't gain?"
"Yes, there are many more!" Lord Ruan nodded: "You should know that my country has been fighting with the Ming Kingdom in the north, and the Ming Kingdom's firearms have done great harm to my army, and I happen to know , my Portuguese friends, you can make firearms that are no worse than those of the Ming Dynasty. If you can meet this small request of mine, I think your harvest in this land will be far beyond your own. imagination!"
