Chapter 1305 Three Things in the South Seas
In the afternoon, Wang Yan returned to the palace and sat alone in the study to deal with official business. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yan put away a secret fold of Jinyiwei, and then said, "Let him come in." ”
After a short time, Zhang Huangyan was treated in by the guards, he gave Wang Yan a salute, and then presented a fold, "The minister is in charge of the prison country, this is the report that the military department has just received." ”
Wang Yan took the fold, stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat, let Zhang Huangyan sit by himself, and then unfolded it to see that it was about Jin Guo's beating report.
The spies of the Jin Kingdom had only recently learned from the merchants of the Western Regions that Wu Sangui had led 30,000 elites to secretly run to the Western Regions to fight against the Rakshasas.
According to the information obtained from the spies, the Jin Kingdom has been fighting in the Western Regions for more than two months, and it is estimated that the war has been over.
Wu Sangui has been training in Tuntian in the Hanzhong Basin all these years, and he has not made any achievements, and after a long time, the Ming Dynasty has paid less attention to him, but he didn't expect him to hide from the world and go to the Western Regions to help Sun Kewang.
"What about the Jin Kingdom's western expedition to Henglus City, the hometown of the Tang Dynasty?" Wang Yan glanced at it quickly, and a look of displeasure leaked from his face.
This Hengros City Wang Yan still knows that it is the limit of the Central Plains to the west.
This place should be restored by Wang, but I didn't expect it to be taken by Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui.
Anything, future generations only remember the first person, that is, one day Wang Yan destroyed the Jin Kingdom and hit Hengros City, and the record of Hengros in the history books is also that Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui restored this place, and most of them will not mention Wang Yan, which makes him a little unhappy, or jealous.
Jin Guo is tantamount to a big limelight, and the morale and morale of the people in the country will be further boosted, Wang Yan suddenly frowned.
Zhang Huangyan explained, "This is the information in mid-July, and what the current situation is will not be known until the spies investigate further." ”
The excerpt says that in May, Wu Sangui took 30,000 iron horses to the Western Regions, and the Jin State was uniting the countries of the Western Regions to fight against the Rakshasa Kingdom.
For the Rakshasa country, Wang Yan has some understanding, the territory is still relatively large, but it is too far to the north, there must not be a few good land, and the Ming Dynasty defeated Xiyi in the South Seas, which makes him not optimistic about the Rakshasa .
The information he got from Guanzhong in mid-July was afraid that it was what happened in the Western Regions in June, but now that it was August, Wang Yan silently estimated in his heart that the war in the west of the Terrorist Jin Kingdom had been over.
It is impossible for the Kingdom of Jin to put itself in a situation of fighting on two fronts, so it will definitely be a quick battle on the Western Front.
Wu Sangui, Sun Kewang and others have actually expanded their land for thousands of miles, and jealousy makes people ugly, and Wang can't tolerate it. If it weren't for the fact that the Wude was attacking the Jin State recently, Wang Yan would not hesitate to let Hao Shaoqi and Liu Fangliang on the front line create some trouble for the Jin State and contain the westward expansion of the Jin State.
At that moment, he groaned for a while, and said, "Send spies to find out about this matter and continue to report to Lone."
Zhang Huangyan nodded yes, Wang Yan thought about it, and felt that he still couldn't give up this opportunity because of the Wude number, what if the Jin Kingdom hadn't finished fighting? So he added: "Let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies issue an order to Hao Shaoqi, and let him explore the reality of Hanzhong!" ”
"Yes, the minister will go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." Zhang Huangyan stood up.
Wang Yan shook his head, "Don't worry, I still have something to ask Xuan." ”
Zhang Huang sat down again, Wang Yan's body moved, and then he continued: "Is there any new situation in Nanyang recently?" ”
Zhang Huangyan thought for a while, and then said: "Back to the prison country, the affairs of Nanyang are mainly handled by Jinyiwei and the Li Fan Yuan, and the minister doesn't know much, but there are a few new pieces of news recently. ”
The expansion of the Jin Kingdom in the west reminded Wang Yan of Nanyang for no reason, "Let's talk about it first, I want to know about it." ”
Zhang Huangyan nodded, and replied: "Your Highness, the minister has heard three more important pieces of news recently, so let's say them one by one." ”
Wang Yan bowed slightly, Zhang Huangyan immediately said: "The first is about Donghu, after Ainengqi went south, he and the Donghu army faced each other in the north of Ava, the two sides won and lost each other, but on the whole they were still at a disadvantage, but after the Bago army in the south lost a battle, it is said that Jinyiwei has increased its assistance, and has now relieved the siege of Daguang, and is gathering troops and horses to go north, the minister estimates that before this year, the situation may change, and there will be a big war in the territory of Donghu, and it should be able to distinguish a winner or loser at that time." ”
Wang Yan also knew the news, but he didn't think that the flanking attack of Ainengqi and the Bago army would be able to defeat Donghu. After all, Donghu is also a country with 100,000 armor and a history of nearly 100 years, and the heritage is still there.
He estimated that the matter of Donghu may drag on for a few years, but it doesn't matter, the Ming Dynasty did not invest much in Donghu, it was completely the Mon, Shan and Burmese in Donghu who were fighting, the Ming Dynasty just provided some martial arts, and it didn't matter if they fought for a longer time, as long as they made a mess inside Donghu and didn't provoke the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yan nodded and asked, "What about the second one?" ”
"The other thing is that during the Jiajing period of our dynasty, Zhang Lian, a native of Raoping, Guangdong, rebelled, and made a bloody alliance with several bandit leaders in Baisong Pass, attacking cities and plundering land everywhere, and then exterminated them by Liu Xian, the governor of our dynasty, and Yu Dayou, the general, who led 200,000 officers and soldiers. Zhang Lian's bandit army was heavily wounded, so he led the rest of his troops to sail out to sea by the Yunxiao River, and then went south, seized Srivijaya Island (now Sumatra), established himself as the king of Feilong, and occupied the old port, Zhanbei and other places. Now his descendants sent envoys to the court to ask for vassals, hoping to get the canonization of the court, but many officials in the court regarded him as bandits, so he didn't know how to decide for a while. Zhang Huang said: "This matter has just arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and it is estimated that it will be reported to the prison state in a few days." ”
"Oh?" Wang Yan was quite interested, "There is such a thing?" However, this is indeed a trouble, since Zhang Lian is a bandit, the DPRK and Chinese officials will inevitably reject this. ”
Saying that, Wang Yan looked at Zhang Huangyan and said, "This is, what do you think of Xuanzhu?" ”
Zhang Huangyan thought for a while and said: "Back to the prison country, the minister feels that although Zhang Lian is a bandit, after all, he has been dead for many years, and the court does not have to care about their identity, and even if it is a bandit, the court can also be edicted." The minister thought that there were many sultanates in Nanyang, and if our dynasty wanted to gain a foothold in Nanyang, it was very much in need of this kind of local heroism. Since they have come to submit, there is no need for our court to turn them away, because it should be mainly appeased. ”
Wang Yan nodded, and said slowly: "What Xuan Zhu said is reasonable, but after all, after being a traitor, the country name of Feilong cannot be used, so he will seal a country or set up a consolation department, and the imperial court will directly govern it!" ”
This Flying Dragon Country, after all, is a traitor who has flowed past, there is no reason to be crowned a king, and even the Bo Kingdom should not be sealed, otherwise it will have a bad impact, and it is best to set up a Xuanwei Division to govern it.
Zhang Huangyan then continued, "The last thing is about the Spaniards, who have occupied Sulu for a long time, but according to the information reported from the South Seas, because the sailors cut off the route from Sulu to southern Luzon and eastern Borneo, the Spanish on the island of Sulu have been very difficult to supply, and many uprisings have broken out in Sulu because of the exploitation of the Spaniards. According to the news brought out by the members of the Sulu royal family who escaped from Sulu Island, I am afraid that the Spaniards will not last long, and it is very likely that they will leave the island and evacuate Sulu in the near future, and at that time, the sailors should have a big battle with the Spaniards. ”
