Zhao Yu clearly knew that Qiongzhou would be difficult to withstand the Yuan Dynasty's blow, and even if it could block this time, there would be a next time, making it difficult for Qiongzhou to gain time to recuperate. www.biquge.info The best way to do this is to divert Kublai Khan's attention from himself, and now there are many candidates for the 'unlucky eggs', Haidu in the northwest, Japan and Goryeo in the Far East, Annam and Champa on the side, and so on.

However, although the sea capital was noisy, it was pressed to death by Boyan who sat in the capital; Japan gained the upper hand in a fight with Kublai Khan, and thus its confidence was greatly increased, and the killing envoy swore not to give in, and had already burned himself with the anger he provoked, and did not need to burn it again; Although Goryeo was also bullied by the Mongols and his head was pierced into the crotch, his own strength was too weak, and the leader was too cowardly, so he didn't dare to blow up the thorn without the help of external forces.

So Zhao Yu's eyes could only be on the two neighbors Annam and Champa, which are today's Vietnam, and let them act as shields. On the one hand, if Kublai Khan wanted to conquer the two countries, he would definitely dispatch troops south of the Yangtze River nearby, thus greatly relieving the pressure on himself; The two of them are weak in their national strength as he knows, but they are famous hob meat, and they will be soft when they hurt, and you will walk with your front foot and I will toss with you with your back foot.

In addition, although these two countries have always been counties under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains dynasties, they are not good people. After the Han and Tang dynasties, the Central Plains fell into a chaotic period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the Vietnamese Wu clan took the opportunity to defeat the army of the Southern Han Dynasty and proclaim themselves as kings, and since then they have been free from Chinese rule. However, at the beginning of independence, the regime was still in turmoil, and various warlords fought each other on their own side until the great general Li Gongyun established the Li Dynasty, set the capital of Shenglong, and proclaimed himself emperor. At this time, the Song Dynasty also completed the unification through war.

After the establishment of the Li Dynasty, it relied on absorbing the highly developed political, economic, and cultural achievements of China and implementing the reform of the administrative system, which improved Vietnam's social productive forces and consolidated its feudal rule. He also began to continue to implement the national policy of foreign aggression and expansion, and Zhao Yu until this expansion process runs through ancient and modern times until today, which can be said to be a thousand years of history, just as the Vietnamese themselves advertised "open up the territory, inherited from generation to generation", and have become a headache to this day.

Of course, Vietnam is also aware of its own strength, so it is also very strategic in its expansion, and China to the north of them is a big country, knowing that it is not good, so they accept the canonization of China and fulfill the obligation of paying tribute, so in the official history of China, they never recognize the lord of Vietnam as "emperor", but only call him "Wang Shizi". Song Longxing named him the king of Annam, and changed the name of the country to Annam.

In view of this, although the Vietnamese rulers were greedy for the northern land, if they brazenly sent troops to invade and directly confront China, it would obviously be a snake swallowing elephants and unable to do so, so they would adopt the methods of unreasonable trouble, provocation and harassment, open and covert occupation, and small encroachment. It is often the preemption that creates a fait accompli.

Vietnam's Han and Tang dynasties have always been Chinese counties, and the Song Dynasty also had a headache for the secession of Jiaozhou, and has been trying to reunify Vietnam and find opportunities to attack Vietnam. Emperor Taizong and Emperor Shenzong used two large-scale troops to Jiaozhou, both for the purpose of unifying Vietnam, but unfortunately the Jiaozhi separatist force was too strong, and the Song army was weak, and the result was a failure, and finally led to Vietnam's permanent separation from China.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty, who regarded themselves as the "upper kingdoms", were also often blindly arrogant, and when they quarreled with the chieftains of the internal territories, they believed that China had become "so vast,...... Why bother to mobilize the people and covet useless places?! So in the name of Huairou Yuanren, he actually gave the border of the country to its lord as he liked, and he was complacent, and his name was "Obeying Yuanyuan and responding to Wende, why bother to fight", in the eyes of modern Zhao Yu, this is not a bunch of two fools!

The Vietnamese rulers understood the Chinese emperor's joy and love to listen to sweet words, and often swore oaths of loyalty in the tribute table, but behind the scenes, he did not stop violating the border. In short, the Li Dynasty of Vietnam took advantage of the mistakes of the rulers of the Song Dynasty who poisoned the consciousness of corruption and Confucianism and did not have a clear understanding of the border issue and did not attach enough importance to it, and gradually advanced northward, encroaching on and occupying it all the way, even if it was as small as a village and a village, and by the end of the Li Dynasty, it had already pushed the northeast border to a place roughly equivalent to the current Sino-Vietnamese border.

At the same time as encroaching on Chinese land, Vietnam was also expanding southward, and long before its independence, an ancient civilization emerged in the south-central part of present-day Vietnam, Champa Bula, which also became independent from Chinese rule. If it is said that for China in the north, the Vietnamese feudal lords are afraid of each other's strength and do not dare to be too arrogant, then for the weak Cham in the south, the Vietnamese invading army is like a tiger and runs rampant. The emperors of the Li Dynasty did not forget to "conquer", or sent troops to "conquer", or "royal driving and personal conquest", and annexed the occupied city from Hengshan to Shiganjiang.

At this time, the Li Dynasty, like the Southern Song Dynasty, fell into political corruption, expropriating harsh and harsh expropriation, and there were many years of natural disasters, the people were struggling to make a living, and the social order was turbulent. The power was gradually seized by the Chen family, a relative, and entered the Chen Dynasty era. They learned the lessons of the previous generations of Wu, Ding, Li, and Li Zhu's clans were all usurped by the ministers, and implemented the system of co-governance between the emperor and the emperor, and as a custom of the Chen generation, the emperor generally lived in the capital of Shenglong, and the emperor lived in the southern Tianchang Mansion.

Immediately after the establishment of the Tran Dynasty, when the expansionist banner was raised to attack the north and south, and was preparing to open up the territory of the Great Viet Empire, a huge threat came from the far north, and the Vietnamese expansionists, who had always been able to invade others, were caught off guard. The emperor of the Chen Dynasty did not allow much time to observe and judge, and in the first year of Jingding of the Southern Song Dynasty, two Mongol envoys came to Hanoi to "surrender", and they conveyed the words of the marshal of Yunnan, asking the Chen Dynasty to allow the Mongol army to "pass through the border of Annan, and if they want to go out of Yong and Gui, they will send a large army to Hubei to conquer the Song Dynasty." ”

How could Chen Taizong, who had just been successful in the invasion of the Song Dynasty and the Cham war, tolerate the arrogance of the Mongols, he detained the envoys, threw them into prison, and then notified the whole country to have the people of the country prepare weapons and prepare to resist the enemy. As a result, he was beaten by the Mongolian general Wuliang Hetai, and it only took nine days of work to get Li Chao to request attachment. Kublai Khan "then crowned Guangxuan as the king of Annam", awarded the "Tiger Fu National Seal", and gave brocade and other gifts. He also believed that since Vietnam had surrendered, it should send officials to supervise the presence of officials according to the custom, so he appointed Annan Daru Hua Chi to go to Vietnam to supervise state affairs and collect tribute.

In the following ten years, although Kublai Khan exerted all his strength to destroy the Song Dynasty, he continued to exert high pressure on Vietnam, and his tone gradually hardened. Vietnam felt the tension and complexity of the struggle, and the Tran Dynasty had to safeguard national sovereignty and national honor, and at the same time avoid an open falling out with the Yuan Dynasty and try to delay and avoid war as much as possible.

Therefore, the Chen Dynasty made some concessions, agreed to pay a tribute every three years, accepted the Yuan Dynasty as the "King of Annam", and even allowed Daru Huachi to be stationed in Hanoi for a time, but for the demands that were detrimental to sovereignty and the state system, such as the entry of the monarch into the court, the entry of his children into the pledge, and the tribute of wise men and technicians, etc., he either politely refused, or temporarily agreed, but never honored, and for the arrogant and unreasonable envoys of the Yuan Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty sometimes took a demonstration or house arrest for a period of time to give a warning. History says that "they waged a witty and flexible struggle against the envoys and officials sent by the Yuan Dynasty to safeguard the dignity of the nation......

Zhao Hao had little interest in the two neighbors, and he couldn't even figure out the current situation in the two countries. When he was too busy to take care of himself, where did he have the kung fu to care about their life and death, but when he was most suffering, Chen Yizhong vigorously urged the Queen Mother to occupy the city, which attracted his attention and took the opportunity to get out of danger. Later, when he came to Qiongzhou, the first difficulty he faced was the lack of food, and while he tried to reclaim the land for self-sufficiency, he could only make up for the shortage through trade, and the nearby Annan and Champa became the first choice.

At the same time, the spies of the bureau who had been monitoring Chen Yizhong also fled to Champang, and while they continued to send back news about him, they also sent what they knew and heard about the situation in the two countries to their desks. This also allowed Zhao Yu to get first-hand information in a timely manner, which provided a reference for himself to understand the situation between the two countries.

According to the spies' report, as early as the beginning of the second year of Chen Yizhong's experience of leading the crowd to occupy the city, Chen Guangxuan, the emperor of Annam, died in the Tianchang Mansion. In October of the following year, that is, the first year of Xiangxing after Zhao Yu ascended the throne, the Emperor of Annam, Chen Huang, gave way to the crown prince Chen Huang according to the practice of the Chen Dynasty, and Chen Huang went to Tianchang to serve as the emperor. However, the Mongols had received tribute for so many years, but they could not understand the truth of Annan's 'double imperial system', and thought that Chen Rixuan should be enthroned as king after Chen Guangxuan's death, so they sent an envoy to Annan to ask for guilt.

The Yuan envoy Chai Chun not only appointed himself as an angel of the kingdom, but also arrogant and rude, calling for six places to reproach Chen Rixuan for not cultivating the "six things" and "not asking for orders to stand on his own", announcing that the Yuan court would not recognize him as the king of Annam, but only called him the prince; Chen Rixuan was ordered to go to the capital of Dayuan to explain to the Son of Heaven, "If you can't make a pilgrimage, then the MPF will be used to replace your body, two beads will be used to replace your eyes, and two will be paid to the Magi, Fang Ji, children, and craftsmen to replace the people." "If you refuse, you have to fight each other.

The letter of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was already full of gunpowder, but Chen Rixuan refused to go north to make the pilgrimage under various excuses such as "mourning", "illness", and "long road", and used the skill of "hob meat", prevaricating and refusing to be humiliated. The Dadu Imperial Court couldn't bear the "hob meat" skills of Chen Xuan and Chen Huang's father and son, and the Privy Council proposed to march into Vietnam to investigate the crime of "tired summons" of the monarch of the Chen Dynasty. At the same time, he began to prepare for the establishment of the Annan Propaganda Division, preparing to launch a war against Annan.

When Annam fell out with the Yuan Dynasty, the war clouds were also dense on the side of Zhancheng. Originally, the Cham king Indravarman VI was willing to make peace with the Yuan Dynasty, but the hardliners represented by the prince Khali Jizhi refused the Yuan court's request to "pro-dynasty" and "set up a province" and detained the envoys.

Even if these two subject countries have long been disassociated with him, Zhao Yu is naturally not interested and unable to help them, but he has been paying attention to the changes in the situation. Whether it was known in his previous life or the current situation, he felt that Kublai Khan's mobilization of troops against them was unstoppable, and the victory in the Song War had made him lose his calm.

Two years ago, Kublai Khan added the Chinese country name "Dayuan" to the name of the Great Mongolian State, which showed that he not only wanted to transform the regional Mongolian regime into a feudal national regime, but also regarded himself as the legitimate successor of the Chinese feudal dynasties, and successfully combined the pioneering and enterprising eagle nature of the Mongol Great Khan with the vanity of the Han Chinese Son of Heaven to promote his prestige abroad. In this way, as the orthodox heir of the Central Plains, he can justifiably ask the overseas ministers to pay for loyalty, because this is also the case in ancient times, and it is not a moth from his own.

After the completion of the war to destroy the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan completed the unprecedented unification of China, this success further ignited the Mongol monarch's desire to conquer, as the Mongolian co-lord and the emperor of China, Kublai Khan not only had the passion for the conquest of the golden family, but also increased the pride of the Han and Tang dynasties, eager to declare the prestige overseas, and spread the grace of the great emperor to the four seas and eight wildernesses! Zhao Hao thought that the name of the Lord of the Four Seas was no longer enough to satisfy his vanity, and if he got a spaceship, he probably had the intention of unifying the universe......

On the one hand, he is the master who is ambitious and wants to swallow the world, and on the other hand, he is a bad neighbor who is more slippery than a loach, and he has no good impression of them in Zhao Yu's heart, looking forward to them pinching you to death, of course, it is the most beautiful to get some benefits from it. But he knew that he killed Zhang Hongfan's brothers in Yashan and Pu Shougeng in Quanzhou, which was equivalent to cutting off one of Kublai Khan's hands and smashing his money jar.

Champa and Annam, plus themselves, so that in the southeast Kublai Khan had three wars to fight. Zhao Hao's most desired Kublai Khan would attack Annam and Zhancheng first, and as far as he knew, the Yuan Dynasty was defeated first and then defeated, and suffered heavy losses, so he would not have the energy to find trouble for himself; The second is that the three sides will fight at the same time, so that the Yuan court will definitely disperse its forces, and his pressure will be greatly reduced. And the worst result is that Kublai Khan will fight with himself first, and then clean up the two, so that he will be wronged.

People don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and it is also human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, although they are all victims of war, but Zhao Yu certainly does not want the worst result to fall on his head. However, according to the information he obtained, Kublai Khan is at least eighty percent likely to take his own knife, and the result is that he is unlucky, and the other two countries are the ones who benefit. Of course, this is not what he wants, but if he wants Kublai Khan to turn according to his own ideas, it is inevitable to use some means. And the gratifying plan is going well now, and then it depends on how Liu Di, Zhou Yu, plays......
