Jia Ke took the certificate of credence from Cambodia and opened it. He saw that it was written in Chinese and Cambodian characters respectively.
Jia Ke looked at the Chinese text above, and it was written very clearly: King Tomo Raja I of Cambodia has admired the culture of the Celestial Dynasty for a long time, and King Yan of the Celestial Dynasty came with a large number of troops. The whole Cambodian people were really excited, and Prime Minister Aman was specially ordered to welcome the King of Yan of the Celestial Dynasty.
Entering Phnom Penh, from now on, all major events in Cambodia will be handled by King Yan.
After Jia Ke read the letter of credence, he nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the letter of credence to Sun Yan's hand.
Sun Yan took a careful look at the credentials and found that there were no flaws in it recently, so he nodded to Jia Ke again.
Jia Ke felt relieved and said to Aman who was standing in front of the horse: "Since your king has sincerely surrendered, our heaven is not without tolerance. Your glory and wealth can be guaranteed by our heaven. You don't have to."
Worry."
After hearing Jia Ke's reply, Aman immediately smiled. Isn't Jia Ke's purpose this time to keep his glory and wealth?
“Thank you very much for your understanding of King Yan’s thousand years old. From now on, all Cambodians will look forward to seeing King Yan’s thousand years old as his head.”
Jia Ke nodded and then smiled and said: "Same, you lead the way and go to Phnom Penh with my army."
Jia Ke gave orders in his life, and the soldiers nearby immediately led the horses for them. Cambodian Prime Minister Aman was not polite, got on his horse, and led the army in front.
With Aman leading the way, there were naturally no twists and turns along the way, and the army arrived outside Phnom Penh within a day or two.
At this time, King Tomo Raja I of Cambodia was already waiting for Jia Ke on the roadside with all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty.
As soon as King Tomo Raja I saw Jia Ke's army coming, he immediately looked out and saw in the smoke and dust, his Prime Minister Aman leading the army in front, and this army came and went in a strict manner and was in a state of solemnity.
The people watching the excitement on both sides of the road were now silent, obviously shocked by the murderous intent of this army.
Sitting on his horse, Oman saw the yellow umbrella cover in front of him, and knew that their king, Tomo Raja I, had come to greet him in person.
So Aman quickly turned over and dismounted, ran a few steps forward and came to the king. He raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, King Yan of the Heavenly Dynasty Qiansui is behind you. I will take your Majesty to have an audience."
King Tomo Raja I nodded quickly and had to have a good attitude now, because from now on he would probably have to live under the hands of King Yan.
They brought the king to the central army. At this time, the team had stopped. Jia Ke was sitting on the fire dragon colt. He was followed by civil and military generals on both sides. He was waiting for King Tomo Raja I of Cambodia. It seemed that he had already got the lead.
Reported.
Oman brought their king to Jia Ke's horse. He knelt down on one knee and said, "I wish the king of Yan to live a thousand years, and I, the King of Cambodia, Tomo Lajia, have come to pay my respects."
Tuomo Lajia I, who was behind Aman, also knelt down on one knee in front of Jia Ke, "Tomo Lajia, the king of the lower country, may I wish that the king of Yan in the heaven is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
When Jia Ke saw the king kneeling down, he got off his horse and came to him, helped the king up, and then said: "The king does not have to be like this. From now on, the king and I will be ministers in the same palace, and we should take care of each other."
yes."
King Tomo Raja I was relieved when he heard Jia Ke's comforting words, but he said: "Don't dare, don't dare."
Next, Jia Ke stationed his army outside the city of Phnom Penh, and ordered Jirigela to take the cavalry under Zhenghuang Banner and his captured Annan soldiers to take over the defense of Phnom Penh City.
After all, it is still in Cambodia, and although the Cambodian king has surrendered on the surface, who knows what tricks he has in his stomach. If it is a fake surrender, I am afraid that not many of the people who followed him into the city can.
It can come out.
After everything was arranged, Jia Ke safely entered Phnom Penh City with thousands of soldiers and civil and military ministers.
Everyone came all the way to the palace in Phnom Penh, and Jia Ke sat upright on the throne of the Yin'an Palace without any hesitation.
The King of Cambodia, Tomo Raja I, had no choice but to put an ordinary chair underneath to sit there.
Jia Ke sat on the top and saw that the people below him had stood still, and then said: "Everyone, the King of Cambodia understands the righteousness of justice. On behalf of the Emperor, I hereby give a guarantee to the King of Cambodia. From now on, Cambodia's homeland security will be the responsibility of the Celestial Empire.
Anyone who invades Cambodia’s land is tantamount to violating the territory of China.”
After hearing what Jia Ke said, the King of Cambodia, Tomo Raja, immediately fell to his knees and shouted three times long live his life.
Now the king is very happy in his heart. It is just like what Queen Taiji said. The Celestial Empire is indeed tolerant.
Jia Ke smiled and did not stand up. Instead, he accepted the gift with peace of mind, and then ordered the eunuch Li Deshan who was following him to step forward and help Tomo Lajia up.
Then Jia Ke continued: "From now on, the line of Cambodian kings will forever be the lords of Cambodia and the princes of Cambodia. They must study in the Imperial Academy of China for five years before returning to Cambodia to inherit the throne of the king."
When Tomo Lajia heard this, his scalp felt numb. Seeing this, he wanted to take all the future princes of Cambodia as hostages, and they also had to learn the cultural etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty. So when they return to Cambodia, I'm afraid
He is the loyal lackey of the Central Plains Celestial Empire.
But how dare people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves. King Yan of the Central Plains Kingdom has already said this, what can he do? So the Cambodian King Tomo Lajia stood up again, knelt down on the ground again, and thanked Jia Ke.
.
Jia Ke did not let the king stand up this time, but went on to say: "The Central Plains Kingdom is really spending money and food to protect Cambodia. Starting from this year, Cambodia will pay tribute to the Central Plains every year, with 1 million tons of food. As the Central Plains protects Cambodia,
cost of."
When Tomo Raja heard this, he felt cold sweat all over his body. One million tons of grain was not a small amount. This grain could feed four to five million people. But now that he could keep his position as king, it was already good, so he didn't need to care.
This is just a small amount of food. At worst, I can enjoy it less and let the untouchables get more.
So Tomo Lajia could only kowtow to thank Jia Ke again.
Jia Ke saw that Tomo Lajia had agreed to his request, and then asked Li Deshan next to him to help the king again.
The Cambodian Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, after listening to Jia Ke's request, felt that it was pretty good. The Central Plains China did not take any excessive actions. The most important thing was just 1 million yuan of food every year. This small amount of food allowed the untouchables to eat less.
That's saved.
And from now on, with the protection of the Celestial Empire, they will no longer be afraid of Thailand’s extortion and territorial infringement. In this way, people like them can enjoy it with peace of mind.
Seeing that the main things had been done, Jia Ke said to the civil and military officials in the main hall: "Today Cambodia surrenders. It is a great day, and we should celebrate it."
So Jia Ke ordered the Cambodian Prime Minister Aman to hold a banquet and let the civil and military ministers who went home have a good rest.
On this day, in the main hall of the Royal Palace of Cambodia, various Southeast Asian delicacies were served like water, allowing Jia Ke and his subordinates to taste the exotic flavors.
While everyone was drinking and having fun, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the hall, and then dozens of dancers in cool clothes came to dance in the hall.
Even Jia Ke felt a little lost when he saw the exotic dance.
Among these dancers was a woman with a graceful figure and handsome appearance. When Jia Ke saw this woman, he couldn't take his eyes away.
The King of Cambodia, Tomo Raja I, is now a little angry and angry. It turns out that this woman is none other than his queen.
But Jia Ke didn't know this. When he saw this woman, she had a graceful figure and beautiful dancing posture. After the dance was over, he directly ordered the woman to come to his side to accompany him to drink.
Queen Taiji didn't hesitate, and came directly to Jia Ke. She almost threw herself into Jia Ke's arms and poured wine and dishes for him.
At this time, the Cambodian ministers also felt a little blushing. They didn't know that the queen had made her own decision, and thought it was arranged by the king.
Jia Ke, on the other hand, did not take the expressions of the Cambodian monarchs seriously at all, and drank happily while hugging the beautiful woman next to him.
After waiting until night, Jia Ke directly occupied the Cambodian palace and drove the king to live in a nearby house. And that night, the queen stayed with Jia Ke.
It was not until the second day that Jia Ke learned from the servant that it was the Queen of Cambodia who slept with her last night.
After Jia Ke learned about this incident, he did not regret it at all, but instead felt secretly happy.
If the queen becomes pregnant this time, she will make the child the king of Cambodia in the future. In this way, Cambodia will also be stable.
Since the queen accompanied Jia Ke as a gift, she has been having fun by Jia Ke's side every day. She had the same idea as Jia Ke, that is, she wanted to get pregnant with Jia Ke's child as soon as possible.
With the support of Jia Ke, he became the uncrowned king of Cambodia.
And who of the king still paid attention to him now? Even the ministers saw the clues, so they went to the queen's mother's house one by one and paid all kinds of compliments to the queen's parents.
Because Cambodia's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs has understood the matter clearly, in the future, Jia Ke's son may be the king of Cambodia.
As for the current king, it depends on his ignorance. If he doesn't see it, he can live his life safely. If he has any complaints, he may die of illness in a few days.
In the next few days, the army rested in Phnom Penh. Jia Ke did not delay and continued to lead the army, as well as the guide prepared by the King of Cambodia for Jia Ke, and once again advanced straight to the border of Thailand.
This time, Jia Ke had food and grass provided by the King of Cambodia in Cambodia, and the local officials also tried their best to flatter him, so the average speed was much faster than before, and he reached the border of Thailand in less than a day or two.
Jia Ke did not immediately cross the border to attack Thailand, but instead set up camp on the border.
After setting up camp, Jia Ke once again summoned the generals to meet at the Chinese army's tent.
After everyone arrived, Jia Ke said: "Since ancient times, it has always been like this. When I attacked Annan, I also sent my credentials to King Annan first. However, King Ruan Zhengyu was arrogant and did not respect the orders of the Central Plains.
I just went on an expedition. Now that we are stationed on the border of Thailand, we should send a messenger to ask the King of Thailand to hand over Ruan Zhengyu. In this way, the two countries will stop fighting. If not, we will send troops in and out without delay."
