Mahapancha never expected that he would encounter the Ming army in Sulu Country.
When someone came to report just now that Ming troops had been spotted ahead, his first reaction was that they were chasing them!
At first, the Ming army had already broken through the city. Seeing that he could not escape death, he killed Lin Jia, put his own gold and English ornaments on him, and set fire to the palace. Then he fished in troubled waters and escaped from the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he escaped to Sulu, people chased him, which really scared him.
After further inquiries from the front, it turned out that it was the Ming Dynasty's fleet that sailed to the Western Ocean. It encountered a storm and passed by here, and then I felt relieved.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly realized that he had faked his death in Champa. If his identity was known to the Han people and leaked, the Ming Dynasty would come after him sooner or later. Therefore, he decisively ordered to kill these Han people on the spot.
However, they are not vegetarians either.
Although it is not as good as the siege troops and does not have firearms, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
These Champa guards had witnessed the terror of the Ming army with their own eyes, and they could not help but feel fear when they charged.
But the Ming army was howling one by one, as if they wanted to pour out all the anger they had been holding back for so long.
Most of them were eunuchs, living in the palace and enjoying good food and clothing, but they were ordered by an imperial decree to enter the fleet that sailed to the Western Ocean.
Although it is a bit difficult, after all, with seniors like Sanbao Eunuch as role models, if you can make some achievements, you can be considered a glorious ancestor.
However, he managed to escape death and boarded Tang Xiaozhong's pirate ship, almost losing his life.
After going through countless hardships, he finally escaped death and came to Sulu, but was attacked by a group of Champa people for no apparent reason.
The successive dissatisfaction made these people so angry that they were about to explode!
Now, the appearance of the Champa King has undoubtedly become the trigger.
The eunuchs, boatmen, and guards rushed over with all their strength, while the Champlains retreated one after another. They seemed to recall the terror of the Ming army...
Finally, some people couldn't bear it anymore, threw down their swords, turned around and ran away.
Fear is contagious. If you have the first one, the second one will appear, and the third one will appear...
When Maha Pancha saw this, he was immediately furious. At this point, he knew that he had no way out, so he personally took command of the battle. He first killed two deserters, but it still didn't work.
Jin Ying was whipped on the face for no reason, and it still hurts. He wanted to find someone to give him a good beating, but as soon as the two armies clashed, the other party ran away.
He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw the Maha Plate of Tea, he didn't know that this was the Champa King, so he rushed towards it.
On the sidelines, the officers of Sulu were stunned. What's going on?
This small-scale battle already involved diplomacy, and he did not dare to make the decision without authorization, so he hurriedly reported it.
In the end, King Sulu was alerted and he came over personally with his guards.
At this time, the battle between the Ming Army and the Champa Army was coming to an end. Two groups of people were seen gathered together, with Jin Ying and Maha Pancha in the middle, grabbing each other's hair and refusing to let go.
King Sulu hurriedly sent people forward to separate the two men and then brought them back to the palace.
In the evening, Jin Ying got the news that King Sulu held a banquet in honor of him.
He snorted softly and followed the palace guards to the main hall. He saw a table full of delicacies from all over the world, as well as a large number of fruits and vegetables.
King Sulu personally greeted him and invited him to sit down.
Jin Ying knew very well that here, he was an envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, and of course there was no need to be polite, so he pretended to be aloof and sat on the main seat.
King Sulu, however, had an apologetic smile on his face and chatted a lot.
Here, there is naturally a translator who understands Chinese, accompanying the two of them and responsible for conveying the message.
"His Majesty the King said that what happened today was an accident. We did not know in advance that the King of Champa fled to Sulu. It happened too suddenly. Please forgive me."
Jin Ying was stunned, what did you mean by escaping to Sulu?
King Sulu continued: "The news came this afternoon that the King of Champa actually disobeyed the power of the Ming Dynasty and is now reduced to a bereaved dog. He deserves it."
At this time, Jin Ying still didn't understand what happened.
Before he went to sea, the emperor did have the intention to conquer Annan, but why did he get involved with Champa?
However, he couldn't show it, so he said: "Do you really understand the grudges between our dynasty and Champa?"
The King of Sulu hurriedly said: "I didn't understand it at first. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to allow Mahapancha to come to Sulu to take refuge. Now that everything is clear, the Ming Dynasty helped occupy the city to seize the lost land and rescue the trapped people."
The imprisoned king of Champa did not fulfill his promise and even intercepted and killed his own father on the way. It is simply inhumane!"
Jin Ying remained calm and kept trying to get the information she wanted by making insinuations.
King Sulu didn't know all these twists and turns. He thought that Jin Ying was really here to catch Mahapancha, so he told the truth everything he knew. He made it clear that he had no intention of quarreling with the Ming Dynasty just because of the lack of information.
enemy.
Jin Ying gradually understood the whole story. He was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.
"Now that you know what happened, our family is going to take this person back. Do you have any problems here?"
"No problem, absolutely no problem!"
King Sulu nodded repeatedly. The Maha Plate Tea had no value to him. It was still a big favor to give it to the Ming Dynasty.
Jin Ying nodded and said: "Our ship encountered a reef, so how to return home is a problem..."
When King Sulu heard this, how could he not understand in his heart?
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are plenty of ships!"
Jin Ying then smiled with satisfaction and said: "That's very good. When our family returns to Ming Dynasty, we will definitely thank you in front of the emperor!"
Originally, it was because of the dispute between the Museum of Literature and History and the Qin Tianjian, who each had different opinions on the shipping route, that King Tan sent two ships to sail along the two charts respectively as the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty's voyages to the West.
But Tang Xiaozhong was so stupid that he didn't even know whether the chart was wrong, so he was implicated and his life was almost lost.
It was pure luck that I was able to encounter the merchant ship from Luzon, and I saved my life.
However, if you just go back in despair, the emperor will definitely punish you.
Now that we have caught the Champa King Maha Pancha, isn’t it a waste of effort?
Where can I find such a good thing!
Thinking of this, Jin Ying finally showed a satisfied smile on his face and said: "I heard that your king is still building a mausoleum in Shandong Province. Is this possible?"
"The envoy is right, the tomb of Prince Gongding is indeed in the Celestial Dynasty, which represents the reconciliation between Sulu and the Celestial Dynasty from generation to generation!"
The word "Gongding" is not the title of King Sulu, but the posthumous title given by Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.
Its specifications were equivalent to those of a prince in the Ming Dynasty.
Jin Ying nodded and said: "Since it has been repaired for generations and our Ming Dynasty has opened the sea, why don't we see your merchant ships?"
