Chapter 946: Why Did Your Majesty Surrender?
Liu Chun's life is very boring, but Zhu He is proud of the spring breeze. In the past, they also passed through the sea route, but more to understand the customs of the people, set up a trading base, and urgently needed strength.
Only terra nullius, such as Australia, will be included in the map.
Therefore, in addition to Annam, Dongfan, and Java, there are not many countries invaded by the Ming Dynasty, that is, there are many more countries that have not been beaten by society!
So Zhu He led the fleet and came to fight them.
Liu Chun's order to Zhu He was to attack those messengers who fled in advance, but Zhu He pondered that this was to promote the power of heaven, so he had to beat those big countries first!
As for Liu Chun's pursuit, he can be said to have established an advance base and a supply base.
Anyway, if you don't wave, it's still called the navy!
In fact, Zhu He also knew that although the Taishi didn't say it explicitly, he also wanted to let them toss, since this was the case, what was there to worry about!
"Call me! Hit hard! ”
After a long sea battle, Zhu He's voice was thicker than those sailors, and with his order, the artillery of the Ming army launched an attack on the sea outside the city.
Dense artillery shells, rockets soaring into the sky, and a lot of oil and gunpowder...... and wherever they passed, there was a sea of fire.
After attacking the city, Zhu He did not hesitate and continued to advance along the coastline, and everywhere he passed, there was a scene of flames and killing, like a red lotus hell.
Although it is very cruel to do this, Zhu He knows that Ci is not in charge of the army, and only in this way can he deter the barbarians, so that they can truly understand the strength of the Ming Dynasty and be obedient.
It's just that Zhu He didn't expect that his beating was a bit too heavy.
Originally, Siam, Champa and Chenla, the three kingdoms were in a state of war, although compared with the Ming Dynasty, they belonged to the level of rookies pecking each other, but it did not prevent them from fighting hotly.
In the face of the alliance of the two countries, Zhenla continued to retreat, lost a large area of the country, and was in a very critical situation, and even the country was about to be captured.
However, the sudden attack of Zhu and the fleet made Champa give up the attack, and even intended to form an alliance with Zhenla and Siam to fight against the Ming Dynasty together.
When the news reached the ears of King Chenla, he was so overjoyed that he danced with his hands.
"Great! It's just great! We've got through it and everything will be fine! ”
He was full of confidence, and immediately ordered to prepare to requisition grain and grass, gather weapons, and form a three-country alliance with those two countries to fight against the Ming Dynasty together!
The young king's spirits were beaming, and he pointed to hundreds of war elephants, triumphant.
"This is an unstoppable force, even if it is Da Ming, it can't work! Victory must be ours! ”
Victory!
What a wonderful word.
What if you win?
I remember that some time ago, Annan still existed, and they had an idea to include the south of the Yangtze River in the territory of Annan.
We are not greedy, we don't need to row to the Yangtze River, we can row to the Pearl River.
Even if it still has to be divided with those two, it is already big enough to restore the prosperity of Zhenla.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, but he didn't be happy for three days, when suddenly came the unfortunate news that the Ming army had landed and rushed directly to the capital of Zhenla.
Unfortunately, reinforcements from both countries did not arrive at all.
Even if you are alone, even if you are in a difficult situation.
But King Chenla was still full of confidence.
Especially when he heard that the Ming Dynasty had only sent less than three thousand people, he was even more happy.
A war elephant has four thighs, and if one thigh tramples a Ming army to death, he can completely annihilate all the enemies who come to attack!
"Warriors, go with this king!"
Obviously, His Majesty the King is not very good at math.
He mobilized 8,000 regular troops, 10,000 people, and nearly 500 war elephants, and collided with Zhu He's men and horses head-on.
In the records of Zhenla, this battle is called a world that destroys the world, the wind and clouds change color, the sun and the moon are dull, the blood is like a sea, and the corpses are like mountains...... But in Ma He's diary, there is only such a short paragraph.
"In order to crusade against many unsubsalvatory countries, he led a fleet to conquer and kill Nanyang, and heard that Zhenla had gathered men and horses in a vain attempt to resist the king's master. Therefore, 3,000 Shenji battalions were dispatched to strike first, and after half a day of fighting, more than 7,000 enemy soldiers were destroyed, 170 war elephants were killed, and nearly 3,000 people were captured, including King Chenla. Our losses were more than 130 men, of which 85 were non-combat attrition......"
After Zhu He described the battle, he spent a full ten pages summarizing the experience of naval operations, especially in tropical areas, to avoid insects and snakes, and to avoid wound infection...... He was very annoyed and summed up that it was a huge mistake to lose more than 100 losses in a small battle, and it was necessary to improve the tactics, sum up experience, and strive to achieve zero casualties in this kind of battle!
In the midst of Zhu He's chagrin and introspection, King Zhenla was sent to Luzon and sent to Liu Chun.
The king and his courtiers met.
And it's in this very funny gesture!
"Your Majesty!"
The envoy threw himself on his knees, and his internal organs were shattered and turned into a pile of mud.
"The minister is incompetent, and His Majesty has fallen to this day, and the minister is willing to die to atone for his sins!"
King Chenla took a deep breath and looked at the courtiers at his feet with a sigh.
"Don't cry, today, although Lone is dead, he is still the lord of Zhenla!" He gritted his teeth and said: "Lone will not embarrass his ancestors, let alone let Da Ming underestimate him!" ”
The envoy kowtowed, and blood flowed from his head.
"Your Majesty, the minister will never live alone, when Your Majesty dies, it will be the day when the minister kills himself!"
The dagger was in his hand, his eyebrows were raised, and he waited for death to come.
It's a pity that he waited for an hour and didn't move, and waited for another hour, but there was still no movement...... Could it be that His Majesty was killed?
He was about to rush in when suddenly a Ming soldier ran over.
"Come in, I've got a place for you."
The envoy entered the drawing-room, dazed, and saw his own king, sitting there, with a huge copper pot in front of him, steaming hot.
The king was picking up a bunch of fillets, quickly soaking them, and putting them in his mouth.
The tender fish fillet and rich soup can burst out with indescribable deliciousness just by touching it, and it is so delicious that it brings tears to your eyes!
Ignoring the hot mouth, he shoved it straight in, and let out a satisfied burp.
Just now, he looked like he was sacrificing his life for righteousness, why did he kneel in a blink of an eye?
"Your Majesty!"
The envoy fell to his knees, climbed in front of the king, raised his head, and asked angrily, "Your Majesty, you, why did you surrender?" ”
was questioned by the courtiers, and this king of Zhenla was also quite faceless.
He could only put the chopsticks down and smiled without embarrassment.
"Lonely...... It is only natural that I will obey the will of heaven and return to the kingdom, and I don't need to say much, just do things honestly. ”
At this time, Liu Chun suddenly smiled, "I have promised to merge Siam and other countries into Zhenla, and your land can be increased by more than five times, which is not a loss, right?" ”
This envoy was stunned for a long time, and the land has become bigger, but isn't it a subject country of the Ming Dynasty?
He suddenly shook off the king, came to Yoo Chun, and fell to his knees.
"The king of Shang is above, and the ministers are willing to submit to the king of Shang and obey the dispatch of the king of Shang!"
It's really simple, he directly abandoned his own lord......
