Chapter 665: The Country of Half a County
"Lord of the Song Dynasty."
"Just call me less protection," Wang Ju.
"Lord Shaobao."
"Shaobao," Wang Ju frowned and said, the Song Dynasty didn't like the words of adults, adults are generally behind their parents, which is equivalent to the endorsement of their parents, but I don't want to be your father! However, this messenger named Dharaba spoke Chinese well, although there were some stumps, and the communication was sufficient.
"Shaobao, this time it is our mistake in the Champa country, and we are willing to return it to Nghe An." Dharaba said.
When he said this, Wang Ju had already arrived at Thang Long Mansion.
One is for Champa, and the other is for rice.
Cochin, like the other side of the sea, is not divided into four seasons, but into two seasons, dry and rainy, more than a year is two cropping, dry season rice, rainy season rice. The Champa rice introduced by Song Zhenzong is dry season rice, which is super drought tolerant, and has even been promoted to the southern part of Hebei Province. However, after repeated improvements by the people, the rice varieties of Champa in the Song Dynasty and the rice varieties of Champa Jiaozhi have been different. It's okay to plant three seasons if you want to, but that will cause many problems, and the people are also very bitter, so after the people migrated to the other side, Wang Ju still asked the stewards to teach the people to plant two seasons, not three seasons.
After the sweep last year, Cochin also wanted to resume agricultural production, so the people were mobilized to quickly plant crops. A season of dry-season rice allowed them to grab it, but it quickly became a ration for the displaced people. There is also a rainy season of rice, which is also starting to ripen.
Compared with the planting technology of the Song Dynasty, the planting technology of Cochin is still a little backward, and it can only be said that it is slightly better than that of Zhancheng. In addition, last year's sweep, the people of Jiaozhi planted widely and harvested thinly, coupled with this year's sweep, negligent management, the growth of rice is not very good.
But now food is too important.
Even if the growth is not very good. Such a large area of rice fields and some other crops. You can also get a lot of food.
Therefore, Wang Ju mobilized the people of various villages on the other side of the Great Wall. Let them come and harvest it, and all the grain they will harvest will be yours, and if the government needs it, they will spend money to buy it from you. He also transferred nearly 200,000 "Kunlun slaves" from Guangnan in advance, and asked them to grab crops on both sides of the Yuqiu River.
Wang Ju himself led a large army to cross the Fuliang River and harvest the crops around Shenglong Mansion.
After the harvest, these people were also mobilized to work with treadling ploughs. The rice straw is left in the paddy fields and rots, and anyway, the rice in the dry season will not begin to be transferred until the wax moon, and there will be a long time. When these are done, the immigrants will be able to take over the farming directly, and the harvest will be ushered in next spring. With the harvest, it is easy to govern. After spending so much effort, Wang Ju wanted to rule for a long time, not to occupy it for a short time.
But in the process of this harvest, some of the people of Jiaozhi were bold and fled back. Compete with these people for the harvest.
Wang Ju didn't ask when he heard the news, anyway, the number of people was small. If you can't set off the wind and waves, let them live.
This is the north, and there is also the south.
The south belongs to the territory of the homeless, and this homeless person is not as chaotic as the outside thinks. Although the members are complex, from many islands and countless tribes, they have been sweeping since the previous year and continue to sweep last year, but not in Jiaozhi, but on the islands on the other side. Therefore, a double-layer core was formed, the most core was the thousands of soldiers brought by Lu Herang, and then there were tens of thousands of natives from various islands, and Lu He gave them the best treatment, such as food distribution, priority in mate selection, weapons, clothing, tents, etc., so that they could form the second core. and the rest of the people will be left to them.
Due to the leadership of the two-tier core, the division of labor has gradually become clear, including fighting, transporting grain and grass materials, and it can no longer be like last year, there is no food without food, and if you are afraid that people will eat people, you will not ask, and this year you will give these people a way to live, and these must all be led and managed. Therefore, the two groups of displaced people did not roll up as they did last year, and did not even have an army to attack, and they scattered on their own.
And these two groups of displaced people are very numerous, now more than a million people.
It was not that many natives were brought in later, but that many Cochin people also joined in. I don't have anything to eat, so I join in and get a little food to satisfy my hunger. Seeing that the time had come, these Cochins were able to escape again, but after being cornered, many of them came back to join.
Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang only cared about the two of them, and did not let them form a large-scale group, once they formed a large-scale group, they would be immediately dismantled, and they were not allowed to hold weapons. As for these people coming and going, Wei Sheng and Zhu Tingguang didn't ask. As a result, the scale of displaced people is increasing.
However, in this sweep, more than 10,000 Song people who were captured or bought by Jiaozhi were collected one after another, and sent back to Guangnan one after another......
The two groups of displaced people converged in Thang Long City, and then separated again, swept southward, and at the same time harvested all the way, but half of the cut was cut, and half of it was wasted, but this time there was a preliminary division of labor, and these Cochin people joined, and they actually took the time to turn the rice on a sunny day, so that the displaced people behind could use the water of some villages in Cochin to turn it into rice.
Then the brigade came back to Thanh Hoa Road and Yanzhou Road, and the forward came to Nghe An Road.
Champa has sent soldiers and civilians to occupy Nghe An Road.
Just when the Cham army did not know what to do, the former displaced people attacked the people who came with the Cham army, and the number of former displaced people was small, so the conflict inevitably broke out.
Under the pursuit of the 2,000 Cham troops, almost half of the 5,000 homeless people were killed.
But a second small group of displaced people arrived, and fighting began again.
Four small groups of displaced people came in a row, and more than 10,000 people were killed by the occupants before and after.
A fifth group of displaced people followed, but this one became very large, forty or fifty thousand.
The Cham army finally became cautious and hurriedly requested support from the rear. As the conflict began to break out again, the displaced people suffered another crushing defeat, but this time the conflict also resulted in the loss of nearly 1,000 soldiers in the city. The problem is that the large army of displaced people in the back came, and there were more than 100,000 people in the first group.
However, the army that occupied the city also came to reinforce it, and the two sides were deadlocked, at this moment, Yang Congxian led the naval army from a big river behind Yi'an City, Qu Zhen took 5,000 cavalry to kill from the west side, Yao Xiong took thousands of infantry and displaced people, and the three-way soldiers and horses attacked, nearly 10,000 Zhancheng troops, almost all of them were wiped out.
The displaced people then crossed the river. Continue to roll south. Champa had no choice but to build a defensive line in Buzheng Prefecture. He also sent messengers to ask Wang Ju for peace.
In fact, it turned out that Wang Ju had no intention of attacking the Champa State at all.
Influenced by the ancient kingdom of Funan (a state that was wiped out by Chenla during the Tang Dynasty), the Champa states embraced Brahmanism, the religion of the cruel four-class caste system, and at the same time created its own ancient Champa alphabet modeled after Sanskrit at an early age. It doesn't matter, the city of Champa has been assimilated by Cochin in history, including religion. The religion of the ancient country of Funan has now been replaced by the Buddhism of Chenla.
And it's not too big.
It's too long and narrow though.
It doesn't matter if it's long or narrow, but it's on the mainland, not an isolated island. To the southwest and south of it is the more powerful Zhenla Kingdom, also known as the Angkor Dynasty, including the Ailao and Niu Roar tribes in the west of Cochin, which also belong to the Zhenla Bondage Tribe, but the interdependence is relatively loose, which is about equivalent to the dependency between the tribes of the Zhuluo clan in Guizhou and the Song Dynasty, but it proves that it is strong. It doesn't matter if the mourning prison and the cow roar, just like Ziqi and Temo Dao, although it used to belong to the fetters of Dali, but because it is not strong now. It does not pose a hazard to Guangnan West Road.
But if you take the city, you will have a head-on conflict with Chenla. The war in the south will also continue, which is obviously not the result that Wang Ju wants. Moreover, its long and narrow terrain lacks defensive depth.
However, Wang Ju wanted to let go of Zhancheng, but Zhancheng did not let go of Wang Ju.
After the exiles swept through the three states of Buzheng, they continued to attack northward, and Champa sent many soldiers and civilians to recapture the three states one after another, even despite the grim situation in their country. Take it back, take it back, these three states were indeed originally occupied by the city, but they continued to the north and occupied Nghe An again.
This was a very bad sign, and Wang Ju changed his plan and prepared to attack the city.
Of course, before you start, you must inquire about the other party's information.
Fortunately, Champa itself was an important transit point on the main navigation route of the Song Dynasty, and even some captains who now stop on Qiongzhou Island have been to Champang.
A large number of scouts continued to infiltrate the city, and batches of first-hand important information were also sent to Wang Ju.
This made Wang Ju know the grievances between Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, first after the death of Ding Buling, Zhancheng wanted to take advantage of the instability of the country in Jiaozhi, and sent troops to Hualu City, the capital at that time, but encountered a storm on the middle road, suffered heavy casualties, and had to go back. As a result, Cochin always regarded Champa as its first enemy, and Le Heng personally led his army to invade Champa and razed the capital of Champ, Indra Pura (Da Nang City), forcing Champa to move its capital to Vijaya (Quy Nhon City) further south.
In the Li Dynasty, Li Baboon (Li Qiande's grandfather) attacked the city again and carried out a brutal massacre, which is said to have been bloodied and corpses were scattered all over the field. More than ten years ago, the king of the city of Champa Lüdrabama III rectified the military rule and wanted to take revenge, Li Rizun and Li Changjie once again occupied the city with troops, captured Lüdrabama, and forced Laddharabrama to cede the three states of Dili, Maling and Buzheng, and then released Lüdrabman. Because of the incompetence of the Vindravatra, the chieftain of Bintonglong in the southern part of the city took the opportunity to launch a rebellion and declare independence as king. The powerful Khalivarman III (there were two other Halibramas in front of him who became the kings of Champang) ousted the throne of the city, and the Lydra Varman defected to Jiaozhi, leading the army of Jiaozhi to the south again, but was luckily blocked by the Khalivarman, and both countries suffered heavy losses and agreed to strike the army.
That is, the situation of Zhancheng is very bad now, Zhenla is strong, posing a direct threat, the rebellion in the south has not been quelled, and the country has suffered heavy losses because of Li Changjie's re-invasion last time.
That's why Zhancheng moved his mind and sent an envoy to induce the Song Dynasty, saying that there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jiaozhi, and you Song Dynasty waved your hand to destroy Jiaozhi.
So Guo Kui went south.
Zhancheng was also afraid that the Song Dynasty would find them trouble in the future, so he sent 7,000 soldiers to guard the main road of the thieves, that is, 7,000 soldiers and horses were sent on the border defense line. We have sent troops to help...... The whole Wang Julei has charred skin and tender meat.
This shows that the country is also ambitious, but Jiaozhi is stronger than them, so it has been repeatedly frustrated.
In fact, there are many things that Wang Ju doesn't know.
Guo Kui didn't make any preparations before sending his troops, he first sent envoys to lobby Zhancheng and Zhenla, and our three countries will work together to divide Jiaozhi. But both of these countries want to be fishermen, and they both shouted, I sent troops......
But from this incident, Zhenla saw the real national strength of the city, if there was no king to come, next year Zhenla would also send troops to occupy the city, and the capital of the city of Zhan Vijaya was sacked. However, the Song Dynasty needed to occupy the city to contain Jiaozhi, so they secretly supported some weapons and money silk. He also allowed Haribama to miraculously drive away the powerful Zhenla people. Decades later. The Chenla people began to build Angkor Wat. Jiaozhi defeated Champa again, and Zhenla took advantage of the fire to rob and break through the capital of Champong.
There was no way to occupy the city, so he introduced "special forces instructors" from the Song Dynasty and learned cavalry and archery tactics, but the result was a victory and instead captured the capital of Zhenla. As a result, under the leadership of the new king, Zhenla drove the city out of the capital of Zhenla. Reoccupied the capital of Champ. But soon the city became independent again.
The two countries are you messing with me, and I'm messing with you, but the Yuan Dynasty is here. Champa was not afraid of death, so he detained Kublai Khan's envoy, and Kublai Khan said to Jiaozhi, "You use my way, let me destroy this small Champa." Jiaozhi is not stupid, we are not those fools of Yu State, do not borrow. As a result, the 500,000 troops of the Yuan Dynasty went south and beat Jiaozhi dizzy. However, malaria came, and Kublai Khan had to withdraw his troops in tears.
However, in order to cope with the Yuan Dynasty. I had to marry the princess to the king of Champ. Of course, this princess is not easy to marry, so she gave the two small states to the south of the country, Wuzhou and Lizhou, to Jiaozhi. However, the king of Champa could not accept this princess, and not long after the wedding, the king died. Champa is a Brahmanical cult that has many vicious rules, such as the fact that wives are required to set themselves on fire after the death of their husbands as a sign of faithfulness. Of course, Cochin was not happy, so he took the princess back. The Cham people said, "You have taken the princess back, and you must return the dowry to us, so they sent someone to ask for these two states from Jiaozhi." As a result, Jiaozhi sent troops again and captured the city again.
Soon after, the king of Champa ascended the throne, he reigned outside the interior and conquered Thang Long City three times, but at this time, Jiaozhi was repeatedly warned, and all the people from top to bottom were not afraid of war, so they defeated Champa back three times, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. Champa had no choice but to ask Emperor Zhu Di for help. Zhu Di immediately sent Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu to pacify Jiaozhi, but the two accidentally destroyed Jiaozhi.
Champa gasped, immediately turned his head to deal with Zhenla, who was sitting on the side and watching the show, and abolished Angkor, the capital of Chenla, Zhenla had no choice but to move the capital to Phnom Penh, this is the later Cambodia, and the rise of the Ailao people, this is the prototype of Laos.
Then Ming Yingzong when the people of Jiaozhi revolted, and broke away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the last time the country was destroyed is the Ming army attracted by the city, so it was handed over and sent troops to occupy the city, and the city was anxious, and asked Zhenla for help. Zhenla can't do such a stupid thing again, sit back and watch the city of Zhancheng be destroyed. The Siamese defeated Chenla again, and the prince fled to Java and established the famous Shandi dynasty. The Champa people failed to revolt several times, and they were completely digested by Jiaozhi, which became the later Vietnam.
These historical kings don't know a lot, they only know that the Ming Dynasty did not succeed in rule, and the Jiaozhi people like to engage in massacres, but they are very tenacious, so there is this sweep. The people have swept away together, see how you revolt and rebel?
However, the rest of the goods are also not good things, just like the current Zhenla, seeing the Song people call the Song people Buddha, very respectful, right? But over time, let's see how the Khmer Rouge treated the Han Chinese?
Don't mention that, after his sweep this time, I'm afraid that there will be no more Yue Monkey country in the future, that is, the history of this area will be rewritten.
However, through various signs in the past, it is proved that this Champa has always had a lot of ideas for the north, and if it wasn't for the fact that Cochin defeated them again and again, maybe Champa would have been able to occupy Cochin now. And what about the Song Dynasty?
The Song Dynasty was stronger than Champong, but Jiaozhi was located in the remote south, and the army was mostly placed in the north where the whip was out of reach.
And it just so happens that now is the time when the power of the Champa city is at its weakest......
Wang Ju has these two judgments, and there is no need for Wang Ju to say how to choose, including Yan Da, He Bin, and Tao Bi all recognized Wang Ju's choice.
Now Dharaba still means this, Yi'an Prefecture is Jiaozhi, your Song Dynasty will lose Jiaozhi, we don't want it, but the three states in the south are occupied by us, and we have to return them. If there is nothing to do, let's pay it back, to be honest, these three states are not as large as the three counties of the Song Dynasty, and they are in the remote south, and the terrain is narrow and long. But after Guan Jian is returned, will Zhancheng be able to live in peace with the Song Dynasty?
However, this matter is a bit ridiculous, because it is true that these three states occupy the city.
Wang Ju said: "Before you occupied the city, it was the Rinan County of the Han Dynasty, right? ”
Then Wang Ju was happy: "The country of half a county ......"
To be able to become the messenger of Champa, there is some learning, and Champa has its own writing very early, but after Jiaozhi completely unified Champong, the religion, customs and writing of Champa were eliminated, so later generations rarely Champa its own annals.
Wang Ju only asked one question, and his face changed dramatically...... (To be continued......)
