Chapter 702, the monarchs and ministers of Champa who welcome Master Wang
Champa, also known as Champa Puluo, Puluo is the pronunciation of Sanskrit and can be translated as city.
It is located in the southeastern part of the Southeast Peninsula, roughly equivalent to the southern half of Vietnam in later generations. The royal capital is located in Indrapura. In ancient China, it was called Xianglinyi, or Linyi or Champa for short.
The people here in Champa City are called Cham people. Their ancestors came from Xianglin County in Rinan County, which was established in the Han Dynasty. In 137 AD, Qu Kui, the son of a meritorious official in Xianglin County, killed the county magistrate and proclaimed himself king.
Build a city-state.
From the Song Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, that is, during the period from the 10th to the 13th century, Champa became the main expansion target of the feudal ruling dynasty of Annan. In 1402, Annan captured the Zhandong of Champa, established two states in ancient times, and occupied the territory of Annan.
It advanced to present-day Guangnan and Quang Ngai area.
In 1471, the Later Le Dynasty Le Thanh Clan personally conquered the city, captured the capital, captured King Cha Quan alive, established Quang Nam Road, and expanded Vietnam's territory to Quy Nhon.
Champa has always been a vassal state of Annan Kingdom.
Well, yes, Annan is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and this Champa City is a vassal state of Annan.
From here, we can know that everything in Annan was actually copied from the Ming Dynasty. They even had to learn from the vassal state. Of course, we can also know how weak the strength of Champa was.
Not only Annam in the north repeatedly invaded the south and continuously annexed the territory of Champa, but even the Khmer Chenla in the northwest also repeatedly invaded Champa, and Siam in the west often used Champa as a place for military training.
It can be said that Champa is a doormat, an opponent that everyone can bully. It is weak and is invaded by foreign enemies from time to time.
In the 14th year of Hongzhi's occupation, only some land in the south was left. Most of the land in the north also fell into the hands of Annan. Now it has naturally fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty and became Jiaozhi of the Ming Dynasty.
Part of the Chief Constable's Office.
At this time, in the border area between the Chief Envoy of Cochin and Champa, an army of 30,000 people was advancing from north to south, heading towards Xinzhou Port, the core of Champa.
At the same time, on the sea, the Ming Royal Navy fleet also attacked Champa from north to south along the coastline.
Originally, the relationship between Champa and the Ming Dynasty was very good. Historically, Champa came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty many times. Comrade Lao Zhu, who founded the Ming Dynasty, was very fond of Champa.
Historically, in 1469, when Li Shengzong and Li Sicheng attacked Champa, the king of Champa, Panluo Chaquan, sent people to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could put pressure on Annan, and the Ming Dynasty readily agreed.
However, at that time, Annan had strong soldiers and horses, and its national power was at its peak. He did not take the Ming Dynasty's words into consideration at all. He directly attacked Shi Naicheng Port, captured Panluo Chaquan and his subjects, and more than 30,000 people. They carried out a bloody massacre of the city and directly killed them.
More than 40,000 people.
In the end, Panluo Chaquan died of illness in the prisoner camp. Le Shengzong also beheaded him and brought his head and many prisoners back to the Ancestral Temple for sacrifice.
It can be said that a few decades ago, the Champa Kingdom existed in name only and had basically been annexed by Annan. Only some places in the southernmost part were beyond Annan's control and were still under the control of the remnants of Champa.
.
The Ming Dynasty's army swept down from north to south in a mighty manner.
Not only were they attacking Champa City, but they were also constantly mopping up local powerful people and chieftains in Jiaozhi along the way. Zhang Mao and Liu Jin had been stationed in Thang Long City, and the 100,000-strong army only sent 30,000 troops south.
All the remaining 70,000 troops stayed in various places in Jiaozhi to carry out a ruthless extermination of the remnants of the original Annan Kingdom, local tyrants and chieftains.
Attacking the city is just a banner issued by Liu Jin. With the little strength left in the city, the Ming Dynasty needs to dispatch 30,000 troops and 10,000 navy. A few thousand people are enough.
.
The more important thing is to sort out these rebel forces in the Cochin Chief Envoy Department along the way, and at the same time prepare for the next sweep of the Southeast Asian island countries.
Wang Shouren and Yang Yun were riding on tall horses, and they couldn't help but wipe the sweat from their foreheads as they walked.
It's really too hot here in Jiaozhi, which makes the two people who are used to the cool autumn weather very uncomfortable. Not only that, but everyone in the army is also like this.
The armor and helmets they were wearing were all taken off, and many people were marching shirtless. It was too hot.
"There are still two days to go to Xinzhou Port. The weather in the southeastern peninsula is really too hot. No wonder the rice here can be harvested three times a year and seven times every two years."
Polu Hou Yang Yun looked at the sun above his head, it was scorching hot, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"The world we live in is indeed a round ball. This Champa belongs to the tropical area. It is summer all year round. Occupying this Champa means that my Ming Dynasty will own a big granary. From now on, we will no longer have to pay for food.
The problem is worrying."
Wang Shouren nodded. At this time, he no longer cared about his scholarly demeanor. He took off all his clothes and rode shirtless on the horse.
The two of them were chatting while going south. Neither of them felt any pressure about attacking Champa, it was a simple and relaxing thing.
"Report~"
At this moment, someone came running quickly on a horse and said.
"What's up?"
Wang Shouren heard this and asked quickly.
"The king of Champa State and all his ministers came to greet the king!"
The visitor said hurriedly.
"ah?"
When Wang Shouren heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded. He was going to attack Champa City. The king of Champa City was lucky enough to lead all his subjects out of a hundred miles to meet him.
"this?"
Wang Shouren and Yang Yun looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
"Let's go and have a look. If this Champa country is willing to surrender voluntarily, it will save us from a big fight. Champa and our Ming Dynasty have always been friendly neighbors. If the king of Champa voluntarily surrenders, we, the Ming Dynasty, will not treat them badly."
After thinking about it, Wang Shouren also said.
The army continued to advance and soon met the king of Champa and his party who came to greet them.
King Shagubulo of the Champa Kingdom and his ministers looked at the mighty Ming Dynasty army, with tears in their eyes. The Ming Dynasty finally sent troops to help them occupy the city and destroy Annan, and for his
The ancestors took revenge.
Since Li Shengzong personally conquered the Champa Kingdom and Li Sicheng conquered the Champa Kingdom, he has carried out mass killings, almost completely killing the royal family and subjects of the Champa Kingdom.
This caused a deep hatred between the Champa Kingdom and the Annan Kingdom.
However, the Champa State was small and weak, and was no match for the Annan State. Therefore, the Champa State repeatedly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask for help.
As soon as the Hongzhi Dynasty came to this side, the king of Champa State sent five envoys to the Ming Dynasty, asking the Ming Dynasty to intervene in the affairs between Champa City and Annan.
Now, the Ming Dynasty finally sent out troops, and they came up with a thunderous force. One hundred thousand troops crushed the Annan Kingdom. Here in Tokyo, they killed everyone from the king to the ordinary ministers of the Annan Kingdom. They even cleaned up the people everywhere.
Local tycoons and toasts.
After the news spread, the entire country on the southeastern peninsula was shocked.
Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would be so good that it would send troops to destroy Annan and re-establish the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi in one fell swoop. The speed was astonishing.
You must know that Annan can be regarded as the top three powerful countries in the Southeast Peninsula. Apart from Siam and Myanmar, Annan is the most powerful.
However, when such a powerful country faced the Ming Dynasty's army, it had no resistance at all. It was destroyed in less than 2 months, and all the remaining forces were wiped out.
This greatly shocked the countries on the southeastern peninsula.
Cambodia, Ailao, Chenla, Siam and other countries immediately sent ambassadors to the Ming Dynasty, fearing that if the Ming Dynasty continued to attack, they would also be destroyed.
When the news reached Champa, the whole country celebrated in Champa.
They were bullied terribly by Annan.
Only a little bit of the land that was originally broadcast was left. From the king to the ordinary people, they were massacred by the Annan Kingdom, and there was a blood feud.
In addition, Annan State also forced Champa City to become a vassal state, and Champa City was required to pay tribute to Annan State every year.
This kind of tribute is completely different from paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty. Everyone likes to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will return it several times. However, when paying tribute to the Annan Kingdom, not only does there not be the slightest return, but the Annan Kingdom also pays tribute every year.
The amount of tribute must be increased.
One can imagine what kind of life this city had to live under such oppression from An Guoguo.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has sent troops to destroy Annan, the whole country in Champa is naturally celebrating. When they learn that the king's army is going south, they even eat pots of wine to welcome the king's army, and go straight out of a hundred miles to welcome the arrival of the Ming Dynasty's army.
"The young king Shagubulo led all the subjects of the captured city to welcome the Ming Dynasty King's army!"
Seeing Wang Shouren and Yang Yun riding on the tall horses, both of whom were fully dressed, Shagubulo immediately walked over with his ministers, and then knelt down with great respect.
"No gift~"
Wang Shouren and Yang Yun looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
If the Champa Kingdom resisted desperately, it would be easy to deal with it. Just kill them directly. Now that they have come out to greet them, they don't know how to release the butcher knife raised high.
Forget it, let's leave it to Zhang Mao and Liu Jin to deal with the headache. Anyway, Champa will definitely be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty. After taking Champa, Xinzhou Port, the current capital of Champa, is an excellent port. With this port
As a springboard, it is enough to deter the entire Southeast Peninsula and Southeast Asia.
As for how to deal with the Champa king and his subjects, this matter should be left to Liu Jin and Zhang Mao. Of course, seeing how he is so sensible, he will probably be treated well.
