Brahmarama was very upset. He had already patrolled the streets several times. The situation was more serious than he expected. People were giving up on themselves. There were even anti-war factions. They were divided into two factions.

The first is the surrender faction, which advocates surrender. The second is the peace talks faction, which advocates opening the city gates and negotiating peace with the other party. This is naturally stupid. Open the city gates and they will be willing to sit down and talk to you.

Well?

However, everyone believes in being merciful and merciful. As long as you are sincere enough, I believe that the enemy will not make things difficult for you. Brahma Rama scolded: "A bunch of stupid people!" The Khmer Angkor Dynasty has practiced stupid people since the founding of the country.

Policies and those in charge of power are all nobles, aristocratic families, etc. Although there are others besides these, they are so few that they can be counted on one finger.

Brahma Rama felt that he could not continue like this. If the situation was allowed to develop, these people might really open the city gate and surrender to the enemy. This was not what he wanted to see. At least he would have to wait until the peace envoy returned.

Let's make other plans. Brahma Rama was very resolute and spent the whole day looking for those who spread the news. Only by curbing this phenomenon at the source and clarifying it from the government can this kind of speech be slowly suppressed.

Brahma Rama began a large-scale purge in the city, looking for and arresting spies everywhere. This purge plan arrested many innocent people. The people were too scared to discuss state affairs, for fear of being suddenly seen, and then

He was captured and lost his life. But

On the contrary, they confirmed one thing in their hearts. There was something wrong with such a big reaction. As the saying goes, if you don't do evil things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If there really are no such things, they can have the government officially announce it. After all, many people still obey the government.

of prestige.

On January 15, the 24th year of Zhizheng, Zhi Pengya received the Khmer envoy. The Khmer envoy said that a rebel general appeared in their army, and it was this rebel general who attacked the Cham border. Their original intention was not to fight with the Champa border.

Champa conflict.

Zhi Peng'a didn't believe this reason, but he still had to give him face. After all, it wouldn't be good for the matter to spread.

Until a messenger comes in to report...

"Your Majesty, good news. The Taiyuan Army has defeated Stung Treng and is now heading towards Angkor Thom." The messenger said happily.

Zhi Pengxiao looked embarrassed. The envoy was still here, and you didn't pay attention to the occasion. It would be embarrassing for both parties to say this kind of thing.

The messenger looked at the Khmer messenger, suddenly realized, and looked back, "Don't worry, I understand."

Then he continued and said: "Your Majesty, our army's siege in Stung Treng went very smoothly. After only seven days of siege, the enemy city lord announced his surrender, then opened the city gate and surrendered the city. I think it was probably because

For your Majesty's sake..."

Zhi Pengma looked at him and said a lot. He was confused. This young man must have misunderstood. I asked him to stop talking, but why did he start talking again.

The messenger continued to talk, and Zipeng Ma could only listen shamelessly. As long as I was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed. But it was still necessary to stop. After saying half of the words, Zipeng Ma asked the courier to go down first.

The envoy took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, we are willing to give the Phnom Penh to Your Majesty. We just hope that this misunderstanding can be resolved."

Zhi Peng was just thinking about how to extort money, and here he comes. But territory is not what he needs, what he needs is money. Maybe he is afraid of poverty and just thinks about making money.

Zhipengya shook his head, and the envoy saw that Zipengya shook his head. He thought, too. Most of Khmer has been captured, and they must only be ceded a Phnom Penh. They must be dissatisfied.

The envoy said: "We are willing to give Kraie to your Majesty again."

This young man was really dishonest, so Zhi Pengya made a gesture asking for money.

The envoy suddenly realized that he wanted money, so he asked directly: "How much does your Majesty want? We will try our best to get it for you."

Zhi Pengyao's eyes changed when she looked at him, and suddenly she felt that he was quite good, so she took out two fingers and said, "This is the number."

The envoy said: "Your Majesty, we really can't afford two million."

"What two million taels? It's two hundred thousand taels. I know your country is in trouble." Zhi Pengma said.

The envoy is grateful. This is great. He only needs to pay 200,000 taels and gold rim.

Zhipengya does not want Khmer land at all. After taking control, will it still provide poverty alleviation to the local area? It also has a goal of reaching a developed country with per capita GDP. Now the country's funds are basically invested in trade in Natuna.

In the construction of the center, Puliango Province and the Sita immigration settlement, these expenses alone have cost him nearly 300,000 taels of silver. The 500,000 taels of silver he just saved last year has also been used up. Of course, this

The income from the 23rd year of Zhizheng was not included.

The envoy then left and embarked on the road back to Angkor Thom. He had also heard before that Stung Treng had been captured. Now that the army had moved towards Angkor, his time was running out.

On January 17, the year 24, there was no sound in Angkor Thom. Brahma Rama was very satisfied and finally suppressed his anti-war sentiment. So on this day, he announced a public execution in the market.

, and required people from every household to participate, and those who did not participate would be treated as treason.

Naturally, people did not dare to go against Brahma Rama's wishes. They were afraid that they would be the next victims, so they remained silent.

The number of people executed this time is nearly a thousand. Whether they are spies or not, the people below naturally know that there are indeed spies here, but they are not many. The real murderer is still at large. As soon as the spies sent by Maya Quiyudo complete their mission,

After being arranged to escape from Angkor Thom, they naturally could not find the murderer. Instead, the spy networks established by other countries here were destroyed. Spies from other countries were naturally considered to be the murderers of this incident.

Nearly a thousand heads were separated, and many people could not bear to look at it. Their monarch was too cruel, so some of them determined to overthrow the tyrant's regime, whether it was to overthrow the Angkor Dynasty or join other countries.

, as long as it can make them live well, it’s the same for anyone who joins.

On January 18, the 24th year of Zhengzheng Dynasty, the Yuan-Han War officially ended. In the end, neither side gained any benefit, but instead greatly depleted their strength. Therefore, the beneficiaries of this war were undoubtedly the Wu State that gained territory and those who did not join the war.

Mingxia came to power.
