Chapter 668: The Second Country (II)
"Nasa Kaohan Haye......"
"Hualu, please translate," Wang Ju said with a big head, because he couldn't understand a word.
"Khalivarman said that he had always been friendly with the Great Song Dynasty, so why did the Venerable Master lead a large army to attack Champa?"
The armies of the two countries are fighting on the side of Lizhou, but this is hard to say, after all, once these displaced people pour into Champa, the Champa country will be in chaos, and whoever becomes the king will stop it. As for Champa wanting to be a fisherman, picking up cheap in the back, and occupying the three states of Buzheng and then occupying Nghe An, this is also controversial. But Wang Ju's approach also occupies some morality, such as your occupation of the city and the improper occupation of Nghe An Prefecture, is this the territory of your occupation of the city? For example, when a small group of displaced people began to wander in Nghe An State, this displaced person was wandering on our territory, why did you send an army to ambush it?
But Wang Ju doesn't want to rip this skin, these monarchs and ministers have become prisoners of his own army, do you need to rip the skin?
Wang Ju simply interrupted him and said, "Hualu, please translate the past, and I will also promise to make him the king of the city of Zhancheng." ”
Hualu was stunned for a moment, but still translated the past faithfully.
Khali Varman, along with the dozens of ministers of the Champa Kingdom, was silent, and looked at Wang Ju in surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Wang Ju said this, pouted, Wang Zishan took the officers and soldiers to escort these ministers down, leaving only Hali Varman alone.
"Khali Kwanma, this official has other promises, after this army of officers and soldiers, our dynasty will send more officers and soldiers to arrive, so this official can support you to reform the system of the Champa country, so that your descendants will forever be the king of Champa."
After the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were a total of 11 kings in the city: Parami Shuravarman I, Indravaman IV, Indravaman V, Vijayavarman, Khalivarman II, Jianvidavaman, Jayavarman II, Jaya Sangha Vamana II, Jayaparamita Shuravarman I, Padrabrama II, Vindra Varman III, and Khalivarman III.
The current Khalivarman III is only surnamed Khalivarman. And not the son of Khalivarman II.
This is the result of Brahmanism.
Monks engaged in religious affairs are Brahmins.
The secular aristocracy who held administrative and military power was the Kshatriyas.
Civilians engaged in production are called Vaishyas.
The lowly slave was the Shudra.
But the Brahmanism of the Cham states was slightly different. Influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. Kshatriyas often have more real power than Brahmins.
However, the two elite groups have always checked each other, and if a country does not do well, it is often elected by the two groups to elect a new Kshatriya, that is, a secular aristocracy, as the king. Therefore, it was difficult to achieve the imperial power system in which the son inherited the father in the Champa state.
After listening to Hualu's translation, Khali Varman looked at Wang Ju in disbelief.
Because he thinks that Wang Ju cannot achieve it.
Wang Ju said: "Don't look at me, I can do it for you if I say it." ”
"How?"
"Li He (Li He is a surname, Varman is a king, the meaning of king). Did you rebel in the Bintonglong region of Champong (present-day Phan Lang, the southernmost region of Champong, south of the Mekong Delta, but now part of the territory of the Chenla people)? The reason why they succeeded in their rebellion is that it is because many of your Brahmins in the city of Champa have colluded with the killing of Dili that they have succeeded in their rebellion......"
Khalivarman's eyes lit up.
Wang Juxin said that by some indications, this Khali III was much smarter and more capable than his predecessor, Ridra III, as long as he was not stupid.
"That's one of my sincerity, and the second is a few days later. Depending on your needs, the refugees will leave. Or turn to Chenla......"
Khalivarman immediately bent down and saluted.
But when to leave, whether this few days is a few days, or dozens of days, Wang Ju did not make it clear, and continued: "In addition, we can send an army to help you, but this time will not be too long, and also according to your needs, when you don't need it, this army will also leave you to occupy the city." We will also assist you in quelling the rebellion in the Bintonglong area. ”
"Ah, ah," Khalibrama didn't believe it, if so, why did Wang Ju come to invade?
"Of course, I also have a few conditions, the first condition, you Zhancheng will sincerely obey our Great Song from now on, of course, this is what you pay, but you will be protected by our Great Song, including moderately assisting you in dealing with the powerful Zhenla people. I wonder if you can say yes? ”
This is to put it mildly, and if you don't agree to this, you have to agree.
"In addition, you must go to Beijing with my men to meet your majesty, but you can rest assured, once our Great Song Majesty will not detain you, stay for a few days, let you eat and drink well, and give you some rewards, so that you will come back and continue to be the king of Zhancheng." If you are not at ease, we can also write the contract. ”
Or to put it politely, that is, Wang Ju sent people to escort Khali Varman to Kaifeng, what can Khali Varman do?
He hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to agree.
Wang Ju said to Hualu: "On the way, you should find a way to teach him some Chinese, at least so that he can do basic communication." ”
"Whoa."
"Furthermore, since it belongs to our dynasty, from now on, all my maritime merchants who come here to dock and trade can only levy half of the tax as a sign of respect."
This request is really humane, even if the city is not allowed to be taxed, will Khalivarman not agree? But if you want to stay on the back burner for a long time, you have to make some concessions.
After listening to the translation of Hualu, Khalivarman immediately agreed.
"In order to communicate with each other in the future, you Champa must promote the Chinese language and Chinese characters."
Again, this is not too much.
"Also, since you have ceded the three states of Buzheng to Jiaozhi, and we will destroy Jiaozhi, we will receive the inheritance of Jiaozhi, so the territory must still be based on the dividing line between Dili Prefecture and Wuzhou as the territory of the two countries."
In fact, Wang Ju of the three states of Libu Zheng was not very interested, because since Nghe An, it has directly begun to have a border with the country of Chenla, and it has expanded in the past, and has launched attacks on Chenla from Nghe An Prefecture many times. Jiaozhi has a small territory, so it is good to expand a little territory, but for the Song Dynasty. There is no need to divide too much energy in the south. If you occupy the three states. This means that the direct border with Chenla is longer. There will inevitably be disputes and wars in the future. And these three states are too narrow and long to form a defense in depth, if it is not for the greed of the city, even if it is handed over to the city, it is not impossible.
The same is true of his previous life, let's develop the South China Sea together, that is, everyone owns it together, but it doesn't work. It is just such a few small countries, but they desperately want to completely exclude the Celestial Empire from the South China Sea. Southern Tibet was put aside, and the two countries were reconciled, which was actually a tacit view of Ah San's invasion of southern Tibet, but Ah San was not satisfied, they still wanted the whole big XZ. It was their greed that forced the Celestial Empire to back down again.
The reason is the same, as long as Wang Ju makes concessions under this kind of victory, it will arouse the covetousness of the Zhancheng people in the future.
When he said this, Wang Ju had the topographical map of the three states in his mind. In the western part of these three states is the tall Changshan mountain range, he said in his heart. The only way to do this is to use the Jangsan mountain range to arrange some fortifications.
"No, no, we just need those three states."
"Why did you send soldiers and civilians into Nghe An! Don't forget, you occupy the city or our Chinese territory! Wang Ju shouted angrily.
This is not quite true, now the city has been expanded many times, and the area is larger than the original Rinan County, but the main body is still the Rinan County of the Han Dynasty.
"Yes, yes, yes." Halibama was drunk by Wang Ju and suddenly came to his senses.
However, his thinking was a very bad dynamic, so Wang Ju threatened: "After we have negotiated, I will send someone to build a great wall at the border to distinguish the territory of the two countries." That's it, of course, you can disagree, I don't mind supporting another Kshatriya as the new king of the Champa state. ”
"I agree, I agree."
"Then those Brahmins who colluded with Kshatriyas to rebel against the Bintong Dragons, please write me the list immediately."
"Okay."
Wang Ju also found pen and paper, but what he wrote was a recital.
He wrote about the intention of using troops this time, if there was no deterrence, Zhancheng would be like the Tang Dynasty, intending to capture the whole of Jiaozhi. But in the Tang Dynasty, the people were still loyal to China, and now after the brainwashing of Jiaozhi, the people are not only not loyal to China, but on the contrary, they are very hostile to China. This is also the reason why Wang Ju swept and then asked the court to move the people to settle down.
You don't want people!
However, because they migrated from the interior, the number of people was very small, at most more than 100,000 households, compared to the large Jiaozhi, the people were evacuated, and the population was still very sparse. It may be that some of the people of Jiaozhi will return in the future, but these people may not be able to use it, at least not after more than ten years of great governance, it is not expected that they will forget their hatred.
Therefore, for a long time in the future, Jiaozhi's strength was not strong, and it had to rely on the transfer of troops from Quang Nam to defend it. However, if it is entangled with the city, it is not only not conducive to governance, but it is endless, and the court will not only be detrimental to the country, but will distract its energy. Therefore, the army was sent to occupy the city, to give the people of the city a deterrent, in exchange for a long-term peace in Jiaozhi.
However, this southeastern peninsula is not only a country of Champa, but also the more powerful kingdom of Chenla.
Champa was repeatedly defeated by Jiaozhi, and was defeated by the Song army many times, and immediately had to pacify the Bintonglong area, this pacification Wang Ju would not plan to send the main force, the main thing was to let the Champa people go to pacify by themselves, and the Song army would be a helper on the side. Then the Cham army will also produce a large number of casualties.
That is to say, Champa is about to enter a state of decay, and they have a grudge against Jiaozhi, and they also fought for a long time with the Zhenla people during the change of the five generations, and they also have a grudge. In the face of the declining Champong, what will Zhenla, who is eager to expand, do?
The current king of Zhenla is Holishavarman III, Holishavarman is the king of the precept in Sanskrit, this is not disgusting, Zhenla also has Jayavarman, people are not satisfied with being the king of Zhenla, but want to be the king of the whole universe (Jayavarman, the king of reincarnation, the king of the universe).
Therefore, the Zhenla people woke up, nine times out of ten, they would use troops against the city, once Zhenla engulfed the city, it was equivalent to half surround the city. At that time, the Song Dynasty will have a real headache.
Therefore, although Wang Ju occupied the city with troops, he would not destroy the city on a large scale, but only to deter it, make it a feudal county of the Song Dynasty, and then force them to learn Chinese characters, so that they would be more loyal and close to the Song Dynasty in the future.
Support the city and let them fight against the Zhenla people, so that the Song Dynasty can develop Jiaozhi with peace of mind.
Once Cochin is densely populated, there is no need to worry about these countries encroaching on Cochin. Before this crowd gets dense, though, there has to be a smooth transition time.
From this point of view, it is even more necessary to send troops to occupy the city, otherwise why would the city listen to the words of the Song Dynasty?
In fact, Wang Ju thought more.
At that time, he also considered letting the people sweep away, but immediately abandoned the idea. It's too narrow and long, it's not easy to defend, and if you don't get it right, you'll fall into this Champa city. The number of migrants is not large, and the apportionment is too small in all parts of Cochin, so how can the people be apportioned to occupy the city?
The people are not apportioned to come over, but the officials and officers are stationed, but the city is different from Dali, and it is useless to have fewer officers and soldiers stationed there, and it is not worth it if there are more. If there are no officers and soldiers, only officials, then they are also puppet officers.
Hence this "humane" policy.
However, there is no need for this to be written on the cantata.
Wang Ju finished writing, and so did Khalivarman. Wang Ju also couldn't understand the text of Zhancheng, but he could see that it was a personal name. He put the paper down and said, "There are too few names on the list. ”
After thinking about it, he put it bluntly: "Heli, our army will not stay in your Zhancheng for a long time, once you retreat, you can really keep your position, and you can still be hereditary like China, and your descendants will be the kings of Zhancheng?" ”
Let's cleanse it.
The Kshatriyas, the Brahmins who have opinions about you and have prestige appeal, write them together, and then I can use the name of colluding with Bin Tong Long to execute them and confiscate their homes...... Don't steal the wealth that comes from my family?
The purge began in the city of Vijaya, and the song was handed to the capital on a fast horse.
Several bigwigs in the two provinces were dumbfounded, how many days did it be, and the second country was destroyed again. And now they have received the information that Wang Ju has presented to the capital, this Wang Ju does not hide it, since he wants to run Jiaozhi, he has to let the bigwigs in the court know the situation in the south, and they also know that Zhancheng is one of the five poles of the southeast peninsula, don't look at their small country, but their combat effectiveness is also relatively strong.
Wu Chong muttered: "This is the second country......"
It's not over yet, Wang Ju said something in the back, and then officially asked the court for generals, 5,000 cavalry, 3,000 Sichuan soldiers, Kumamoto, Miao Zhu, Liu Changzuo...... (To be continued......)
