The climate in Guangzhou in autumn is like summer, with the sun shining brightly and the scorching sunshine shining directly on the earth.
The huge bay is dotted with all kinds of merchant ships. The porters coming and going on the dock are wearing thin clothes and transporting goods enthusiastically. They walk as fast as flying and hum a little tune in their mouths.
Porters sell manual labor, and the work is very hard, but the hard work is directly proportional to the income.
Unlike during the reign of the Southern Han Dynasty, the weird Liu family imposed extortionate taxes and made the people miserable.
The rapid development of Guangzhou Port has boosted the economy of Guangzhou and the people's lives have been significantly improved.
A young man stood on the bow of the ship with his hands clasped behind his hands. Seeing the scene inside and outside Guangzhou Port, his eyes shone with envy and yearning, but more importantly, there was a trace of indignation.
The young man's name was Suryavarman and he was the prince of Danmaling Kingdom.
Shanmaling is an insignificant and small country among the countries in Hainan. It was originally a vassal state of Sri Lanka.
However, when Luo Youdu summoned the envoys from the South China Sea countries, he particularly emphasized that in the East, except Dayu, no one was allowed to accept the subordination of other countries in the form of a suzerainty.
Bian Guangfan lived up to Luo Youdu's high expectations and made Guangzhou full of vitality.
In the past, Luo Youdu received envoys from various countries in the South China Sea, and Li Fengtai was one of them.
Not long after, Zhang Hansi, the Prime Minister of Guangzhou Prefecture, entered the government office hall.
Angkor Thom!
Napai Jilang hid in the palace and shivered, his pale face kept cursing: You damn traitors, just wait to accept the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor of China. The lonely king is the King of Zhenla recognized by His Majesty the Emperor of China...
After thinking for a long time, I finally chose Bian Guangfan.
Li Fengtai said softly: "All this is due to Shi Bian Guangfan, the governor of Guangzhou whom we are about to visit. This person may not be as powerful as the previous Governor Pan in both civil and military affairs, but he is gentle and strong in Lingnan. He leads the barbarians in Lingnan. To become rich, his prestige is no less than that of Governor Pan, and his ability to govern officials is even greater than that of Governor Pan."
Suryavarman said: "I heard that Bianliang is bigger than Guangzhou?"
This king was in his sixties and lived through the Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou, and Yu dynasties. He was a versatile man. He knew how to perform sacrifices in ancestral temples, write letters to point out current ills, judge cases and decide sentences, appease the local area, handle civil affairs, and Control floods, build roads, and inspect people's fields.
Shan Ma Ling therefore became one of the subordinates of the Dayu Dynasty.
Bian Guangfan was a talent that Luo Youdu had thought about for a long time and then ruthlessly transferred from the Ministry of Works to the outside world.
Putting on his armor, Napai Yoshiro came to Miyagi City to look at the situation.
The profits generated from the offshore trade between the South China Sea countries and the Dayu court have become one of Dayu's main sources of income. There is no reason not to pay attention to the situation here.
Guangzhou is located in Lingnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There is an excellent business environment there, but there are also complex ethnic conflicts. Most people cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. Only a person like Pan Mei, who is both civil and military, can calm the situation.
Only such a person can handle the complicated situation in Guangzhou.
If we can get the support of Shi Bianguangfan, the governor of Guangzhou, half the job will be done.
Li Fengtai didn't reply when he heard this. He also knew that his young master was arrogant, so he just thought he was talking nonsense to save face.
Zhang Hansi had long been impressed by Bian Guangfan's ability and accepted the order without hesitation.
In terms of territorial and national interests among the Hainan countries, there is no doubt that they are the Chenla Kingdom, which was later called the Angkor Dynasty and the Khmer Empire.
Guangzhou at that time was far inferior to what it is now...
While waiting and watching, the traitors among the Chenla nobles discovered a new situation in which Suryavarman and his son secretly instigated the rebellion in Riyagdo of the single-horse kingdom.
Pan Meimei's combination of grace and power suppressed the Baiyue barbarians and stabilized the situation in Lingnan, but he did not fully develop Guangzhou's commercial value.
When it comes to philosophical spirit, Confucianism is far superior to Brahmanism.
He really couldn't believe that in this situation, there were still people who dared to rebel against him.
Riagedo had a clear understanding of the situation in the South China Sea. When it came to that point, Emperor Yu's attitude was crucial.
Suryavarman looked shocked and said in a low voice: "How many years has it been? Has it developed to this extent?"
However, there is a deviation between the new world and history. The old king of Zhenla died of illness, and the new king is Jilang Napai, who was known as the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child in Bianjing.
Bian Guangfan and Guo Jin worked together to hold back their troops until all the Zhenla nobles with evil intentions emerged, and then dealt with them all.
Compared with being subject to the death of Sri Buddha and becoming a subordinate of the Yu Dynasty, Shanma Lingguo obviously gained huge benefits from it.
But it was obvious that Suryavarman, the prince of a single-horse kingdom, did not appreciate it.
Li Fengtai saw the prosperity of Dayu, and his heart was full of yearning. When he returned to Danmaling, he changed his Chinese name, put on Hanfu, studied Chinese culture hard, and regarded his experience of being a missionary to Bianjing as his own.
The most glorious thing in life.
This is a huge thing that hinders the spread of Confucianism in Zhenla.
Suryavarman's father, Riyagdo, saw that the King of Chenla was a coward and had only one son who was an incompetent man who indulged in pleasure. He had the idea of occupying the magpie's nest to replace him. He used the wealth of the country to marry the daughter of King Chenla.
His wife gave birth to Suryavarman, who took care of both the Chenla Kingdom and the single Maling Kingdom. They waited for the internal turmoil in the Chenla Kingdom to be replaced by Suryavarman.
In the Five Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was used for the Ministry of Rites, the Jin Dynasty was used for the Taifu, the Han Dynasty was used for the Ministry of Punishment, the Zhou Dynasty was used for the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Yu Dynasty was used for the Ministry of Industry.
Pai Jilang was afraid that his palace would be breached before the reinforcements arrived. Now that he knew the reinforcements had arrived, his courage instantly doubled. He pushed away the beauty in his arms and said loudly: "My lord, follow the lonely king to kill the rebels."
Wearing gorgeous clothes, they walked on the newly renovated streets. On both sides were various grocery stores, or various restaurants and bars, and business was extremely prosperous.
Pai Jilang looked pale and said, "Who dares? If it's them, how many soldiers do you think we need to recruit?"
Guo Jin brandished his sword, and his horse was as powerful as a thousand.
Napai Jilang loved Chinese luxury goods and everything in China so much that he even changed the title of officials to the same as Dayu.
Pai Jilang endured the discomfort and said to Ge Anjingli: "Ms. sir, I have an idea. Otherwise, we don't need the army. We only need the personal guards to protect the palace and the guards to maintain order."
They thought it was impossible to do anything, but they didn't expect that some changes had happened recently.
Bian Guangfan looked at his partner and smiled and said: "There is a fish that slipped through the net in the government office. It is not convenient for us to kill them, and we are too lazy to argue with them. Brother Zhang, please help me capture them and take them to Bianjing to be dealt with by your majesty."
In addition, control all the fleets they come from and capture everyone."
The fighting outside the city is still going on. Three thousand soldiers in armor are rampaging on the battlefield. Facing the fifteen thousand soldiers gathered by the rebels, they are not afraid at all. Instead, they sweep through Pingtui with an overwhelming posture.
.
This mediocre lord of Chenla received the support of Emperor Dayu and became the new king of Chenla who no one dared to oppose.
The middle-aged man was originally named Wuma Fengtai and was the prime minister of Shanmaling. Now his name has been changed to Li Fengtai.
But now he humbly handed over his invitation to meet Bian Guangfan.
Looking at the greeting card in his hand, Bian Guangfan thought for a moment, threw it aside, and said: "Invite them to the living room of the government office, and say that I have important matters in hand, and ask them to wait for a while. In addition, go and send Zhang
The county magistrate called..."
When the invitation arrived, Bian Guangfan was handling government affairs in Guangzhou.
Although the single kingdom ruled by Suryavarman and his son was a small country, both father and son were very ambitious and wanted to do great things.
Suryavarman was very dissatisfied with this. It was a great shame that the Khmer people actually needed an outsider to take charge of their household affairs.
Napaijiro's almost stupid approach allowed Chenla's domestic economy to take off rapidly, and the nobles and common people lived a good life.
This aspect is indeed not Pan Mei’s specialty.
Suryavarman was dissatisfied and said: "What's so great? Sooner or later, someone will build a city ten or twenty times larger than Bianliang."
Suryavarman came once before, when his father paid a visit to Pan Mei, the governor of Guangzhou.
Serious conflicts of faith occurred within the Chenla Kingdom. The main reason was that with the comprehensive exchanges with Dayu, the Confucian culture of the Central Plains began to impact the internal culture of the Chenla Kingdom.
Luo Youdu needs someone who is good at governing and can control the situation at critical moments.
Confucianism is all-encompassing, ranging from benefiting the world to benefiting oneself.
Standing on the wind, even a pig can fly.
If the Japanese become the ruler of Chenla in the future, they will definitely work hard to achieve the hegemony of the Khmer people.
This completely failed the plan of Suryavarman and his son.
Prime Minister Ge Anjingli danced and ran into the palace: "Reinforcements are coming, it's Marshal Guo, Marshal Guo personally led the troops to kill."
Na Paijilang loved the silks, porcelain and other luxury goods of the Celestial Kingdom, as well as all kinds of delicacies of the Celestial Kingdom. In order to enjoy everything he wanted from the Central Plains, he cooperated with the Yu court in all aspects without reservation.
Little did they know that Suryavarman would expand Angkor Thom without restraint in the future. After several generations of efforts, Angkor Thom was expanded to nearly 3,000 square kilometers, which is as big as 115 Bianjing City. Of course, the main reason is
The way of building is different.
He held numerous positions in his life, whether at the central or local level, in wartime or in peacetime. He handled government affairs competently and appropriately. Everywhere he went, he was heard in politics. Not only was his outstanding talent valued by the king, but he was also recognized by other people.
Relieve people's worries and benefit them.
Luo Yudu had no interest in squeezing this small country the size of sesame seeds and mung beans. As long as he paid tribute in a regular manner and gave some symbolic tributes according to the national strength, he would not be embarrassed. How could he go to death like Srivijaya?
Napai Yoshiro firmly stood his ground and ignored this.
When we entered the city of Guangzhou, we saw many people with yellow hair and blue eyes coming and going on the streets, and even a few black slaves could be seen vaguely.
The Angkor Dynasty did not build city walls, but endlessly yearned for expansion, and naturally won the title of the largest city before the industrial revolution.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The people of Chenla, who were at the lowest level, highly respected Confucianism, while the nobles at the top, in order to maintain their status and oppose the invasion of Confucianism, united to resist Confucianism.
In order to obtain more Yongjing Tongbao, Napai Jilang asked the people of the country to farm and sell the grain to Dayu in exchange for silk, porcelain and other items.
This fierce general who conquered the Han Dynasty and defeated the Liao Dynasty in history, and was able to defeat the Liao soldiers head-on at Shiling Pass, faced a group of small soldiers who could not break through his armor defense. It was really like a tiger entering the chicken flock, and they were completely slaughtered!
Guo Jin, who was in Jiaozhi, had already learned about the conflict between the Chenla nobles and the Chenla king Napaiji Lang due to religious issues.
At that time, Pan Mei resigned as governor of Guangzhou and returned to Beijing, but could not find a replacement.
The scene in front of him caused a flash of fear in his eyes, and then he held on to the wall and retched.
Today, Suryavarman came to Guangzhou in person. It was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and he delivered it to his door.
The Brahmanism that spread from Chenla to Western India is deeply rooted. From the kings and nobles to the common people, everyone respects Brahmanism and regards the caste system as the truth.
Suryavarman nodded silently.
The situation in Guangzhou is different from other places.
As he spoke, he looked around and saw that the people around him were busy with their own things and no one was paying attention to them. He lowered his voice and said: "If your Highness wants to achieve great things, you must have a good relationship with him. Only if he talks a few words
Only with a kind word can your wishes come true."
The countries in Hainan at this moment are somewhat similar to the Central Plains in the Spring and Autumn Period. Dozens of countries are related to each other, and the fights between them are just like conflicts and fights between relatives.
Pai Jilang looked at the army in front of him that was looking for life like a ghost, and a deep fear came to his heart.
Suryavarman and his son saw new hope. The turmoil in the Chenla Kingdom was imminent. When Napaijilang died, the Chenla Kingdom would have no crown prince, and Suryavarman became one of the heirs to the throne.
Suryavarman was also revered as one of the Three God Kings of Cambodia because he single-handedly pushed the Angkor Dynasty to its peak.
When the boat docked, Suryavarman, Li Fengtai and their attendants landed together. With a clear purpose, they took the gifts and went straight to the Guangzhou government office.
In history, the father and son succeeded. With his outstanding ability, Suryavarman defeated all the heirs and sat on the throne of the king of Chenla Kingdom. With his own ability, he made the Chenla Kingdom rise again in one fell swoop.
And it reached its peak and became the Angkor Dynasty and the Khmer Empire.
Ge Anjingli's expression changed when he heard this, and he said, "What if the enemy comes to attack?"
Behind Suryavarman stood a middle-aged man in Confucian robes, who replied: "It is much bigger and much more prosperous. The prosperity of Guangzhou depends on the port, and it is limited to this. The prosperity of Bianliang,
But it is all-round. Businessmen from all over the world gather together, and in Bianliang you can buy goods from all over the world. Even Western scimitars and Persian carpets are common items in Bianjing. As long as there is Yongjing Tongbao, it is fresh in Bianjing.
There are things you can’t buy.”
Bian Guangfan squinted his eyes slightly and shook his head indifferently, like a bunch of clowns.
The common people farmed and the nobles enjoyed themselves, and the whole country of Zhenla was in harmony.
Ge Anjingli was silent. He had seen the power of Dayu's forbidden army. Now they couldn't even deal with the border army, let alone the forbidden army.
A trace of excitement flashed in Napaijiro's eyes, "In this case, why spend a lot of money to raise the army? If you raise it, you may rebel. It's better to use the saved money for the people, so that the people of Zhenla can live a good life."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
Especially during this turmoil, treasuries in various places were robbed, and the treasury had no extra money for him to squander...
