Chapter 671: A New Beginning
Yelonghe didn't believe it.
It's not that Wang Ju is powerful, in short, this battle made the Cham people realize the strength of the Song Dynasty, but it didn't convince them completely. Some people inevitably wonder what the situation would be if it weren't for the displaced people who attracted the forces of the city to Lizhou.
However, the later quelling of the rebellion in the Bintonglong area made them really see the strength of the Song army. Besides, what if you are not satisfied, there is still a threat of Zhenla on the side, and besides, if the Song Dynasty can get the first and second waves of displaced people, can't it get the third wave of displaced people?
The main Song army did not massacre like Jiaozhi when they arrived in Zhancheng, and without many massacres, there would not be much hatred, so there were not many contradictions between the two. Next, it will be up to the Song Dynasty to entertain the Khalivarman.
The reason why Ye Longhe didn't believe it was that there were so many heavy generals who could fight, why didn't he send them over and send Guo Kui to the south?
Wang Ju said: "Have you heard that the Liao State is strong? ”
"I heard." Yeron said.
Wang Ju scolded a mother in his heart, in fact, whether it is Jiaozhi or Lingnan's native language, there are still traces, but this Champa language, he has stayed for so many days, if he leaves the translation, he still can't understand a sentence.
"Although the Liao State was strong, the last Liao emperor personally conquered the Western Xia, but was defeated by the Western Xia. Western Xia repeatedly attacked Tibet, but was defeated by Tibet again and again. It was this Tubo, Wang Shao only led 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and he wiped out half of Tubo, and expanded the land for thousands of miles for me. Purple Mountain, bring the map. ”
Wang Zishan handed a large map in his arms to Wang Ju, because it was very large, Wang Ju had to spread it on the ground. Pointing to the cyan color above, he said, "It is the Liao Kingdom." ”
The northern part of the Liao Kingdom is white. But Wang Ju did not have the unheard of mark to the Arctic Ocean. Only to Lake Baikal and the Trans-Khingan Mountains. The brown color is the Western Xia, the dark yellow color is Tubo, the ochre color is Dali, the red color is the Song Dynasty, the bright green is the Champa Dynasty, the dark green is the real wax, the olive color is the Luo Hu country, and the lake green is the Bagan country. There are also some countries on the other side of the Strait of Malacca and to the west of Bagan. That's not on this map.
Wang Juyi pointed out the location of the countries one by one, and the dozens of kings and ministers who occupied the city were curious to gather around to identify them.
Champa is not Yelang country, but this is ancient times, and most of the news they heard came from the mouths of the Song Dynasty seafarers, and even if they occasionally sent envoys, most of them only went to Guizhou.
Even if he went to the capital, the news of coming back to report was also very general, so Wang Ju deliberately took out this map to show them so that they could understand the gap between the two countries.
Ulvamana really didn't believe it and asked, "Is our city so big?" ”
"How big do you think it is? Right away you're in this line. You know how big I am. Saying that, Wang Ju also marked the route map of Hali Varman entering the capital, and asked Wang Zishan to put the map away. Dozens of kings and ministers in the city were a little lost. Compared with the Liao State of the Song Dynasty, the area of Zhancheng is too small, and it is pitiful, is it still a country?
Wang Ju said again: "Why didn't Wang Shao go south? He was serving as my deputy prime minister at the time, do you think a Jiaozhi is worth my attack on a deputy prime minister? ”
It seems to be the same......
Anyway, it's just to fool the people of the city.
"The second place is Zhang Qi, a few years ago it was this Western Xia, who gathered 300,000 troops to invade our dynasty."
After Hualu finished translating, he scared the people of Zhancheng again, and there may be 300,000 troops in a Zhancheng.
"The imperial court asked me to be the commander-in-chief, Zhang Kai as the deputy marshal, and sent troops to the northwest, because the time was in a hurry, we had less than 100,000 troops at that time, but that battle almost wiped out the 300,000 troops of Western Xia, and the main plan was Zhang Kai. What the hell, Khali, can you inquire when you arrive at our court, is there such a battle? However, a few years ago, the Liao State heard that there was a great drought in our dynasty, and sent an envoy to blackmail, and the imperial court placed Zhang Qi in Hebei. ”
Wang Shao is the first, Zhang Qi is the second, and the third is undoubtedly Wang Ju.
Yan Da thought that Wang Ju was modest, or to scare the kings and ministers of Zhancheng.
In fact, Wang Ju is really not modest, on the contrary, he is a little boastful, just like the military talents of Yan Da, Liu Changzuo, Miao Zhu and other generals in the army may be above him.
However, in the Song Dynasty, not to mention the generals of Yanda, even if Wei Qinghuo is sick, he will also be sad, where will they give them the opportunity to give full play to their military talents?
But if it is only in the south, Wang Ju is modest, whether Wang Shao is here, or Zhang Qi is here, don't say that Zhancheng, even Jiaozhi also gives the two of them a headache, at most they will not suffer heavy losses like Guo Kui, ninety percent can break through Shenglong Mansion City, but if you want to realize Zhao Ji's request, in Jiaozhi County, it is absolutely impossible to do.
Ye Long asked in a hurry.
Hualu translated: "Shaobao, he asked why didn't the imperial court use you to go south?" ”
"When I was in a great drought, I also sent people to your Zhancheng to prepare food, and later you were driven away by Zhancheng, is it important for tens of millions of people to have food, or is it important to Jiaozhi?"
There is really such a thing, it was the Haribama who ordered the Song Dynasty to drive away the grain fleet. Of course, Wang Ju didn't care about it, and said: "Indeed, there was indeed a mistake in the appointment of people in the imperial court that time, and if you don't mention others, you will let General Yan be the main general, maybe you will do better than Guo Gong." ”
"Not only that, our dynasty has a million elite soldiers, this time I only used a few thousand foot soldiers to go south, and the rest are only the officers and soldiers temporarily recruited on Guangnan Road. Or what can you do in Zhancheng to make our Great Song Dynasty look good? ”
"We didn't think about confronting China." The Maharivarman Path.
"That's good, as long as you don't want to fight China in the future, China will not use troops against you, the question is your group going north, will I detain you, or are you worthy of me to detain you?"
The old man blushed.
"Everyone, come with me again," Wang Ju took them to a warehouse in the city, which was originally occupied by Wang Ju and was requisitioned by Wang Ju, some of the captured materials, as well as the food of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, all stored in these dozens of warehouses.
Wang Ju opened the door of a warehouse and brought the group in, and there were some porcelain and cloth inside. There are also some weapons. Wang Ju said, "Heli." These are my gifts to you, and when you return, you will be at your disposal. ”
As he spoke, he handed the key to Ha Li.
Among some of the materials seized this time, many of them were commodities of the Song Dynasty, including tea, cloth, and porcelain, but the quality of some of the cloth and silk porcelain made Wang Ju himself unbearable, and they were about the inferior products obtained from China by some seafarers on Fujian Road. If you get overseas to cheat foreigners, you won't deal with them, and you will hand them over to Khalivarman.
In order to centralize power in the future, he executed many top brahmins and Kshatriyas, and put down the rebellion in the Bintonglong region for him. But the latter is a bit of a problem.
There are two major groups of the people of Champa, one is the coconut tribe, which is active in the northern part of the country, such as Amarabaga and Vijaya. One is the betel nut tribe, which is active in the area of Gujiluo and Bintonglong in the southern part of the country.
If it is more popular, the former is the original people of Zhancheng, or the people of Rinan County. The latter were the people who expanded southward from the city. It is not the people of Ninan County.
Not all of them have yet converged, and there have been occasional conflicts. The rebellion was partly due to the incompetence of the previous king, Vindharabrama III, and partly because of the ethnic problem.
However, under external pressure (North Cochin, West Chenla), often the two tribes will also enter into the way of joint relatives and take the initiative to resolve conflicts.
Now that Wang Ju has put down the rebellion for Hali, suppressed the powerful or prestigious nobles of the coconut tribe in the north, and sent him to the capital in humiliation, the prestige of Hali Varman will also decline.
However, it was impossible for Wang Ju to always station a large army in the city to defend the throne of Khalivarman, so he gave these supplies to Khalibrama so that he could use them to win people's hearts in the future.
Then there are weapons, Wang Ju created a large number of weapons for the natives, and these natives migrated to the Central Plains, and the weapons were collected together.
But these weapons are shoddy and substandard products, the cost is also low, Wang Ju also handed over to the Hali Varman to win the hearts of the people, although Wang Ju is not eye-catching, but in the city of Zhancheng, these weapons can also be used.
And so far, there has been no movement in Zhenla, and no envoy has been sent to visit, Wang Ju guessed that the Zhenla people probably have some ideas. These weapons were distributed and equipped in time to the soldiers of Champa, so that Champa could withstand the attack of Chenla in the future.
What to do, Cochin is now retracted, but a weak child, before he grows up, must set up some protective measures.
Then Champa is the best and strongest Great Wall.
Everyone looked at these materials and weapons, and they didn't care too much about the materials, mainly these weapons, and a trace of excitement flashed in Hali Varman's eyes, and then looked at Wang Ju calmly.
This is a person who has some ideas, otherwise he would not have imagined that he would tempt the Song Dynasty to make a move, in order to relieve the pressure caused by Jiaozhi.
Indeed, in another time and space, although Guo Kui did not destroy Jiaozhi, that battle greatly damaged Jiaozhi's vitality, and it took a long time before he sent troops to occupy the city again, and Zhancheng also temporarily resolved the crisis of Jiaozhi. However, the Zhenla people came......
In fact, among the five poles, in terms of military strength, they are still the first in Jiaozhi, and they have turned civilization into combat effectiveness, so which of these countries has the highest degree of civilization? Undoubtedly Cochin.
Wang Ju said: "Heli, you are a smart person, you should appreciate the kindness I released. ”
"Thanks, thanks." Halli said.
Whether he is grateful or not, Wang Ju can't tell from his expression, but what Wang Ju has done so far can make Han Li believe in Wang Ju's promise.
Fact: After Khali Varman arrived in the capital, Zhao Ji entertained him and asked about the situation in the south, this Zhao Varman was curious, and the various bigwigs in the capital were also curious, and Khali Varman answered them one by one.
Zhao Ji said that he was very satisfied.
He is not alone, and his eldest son, who wants to be hereditary, so Wang Ju asked his eldest son to go to the capital as well, and then get an official position in the imperial court, if the Song Dynasty continues to be strong in the future, this official position can fight for the son of Hali Varman for a high position. Why did he do this, in fact, it was to maintain the continuity of the friendship between Champa and the Song Dynasty. And there is a threat of Zhenla on the side, Wang Ju is not afraid that the father and son will become the three fat men of the Jin family in the future.
In addition, some ministers of Champa were sent to the capital.
And this cadre waited all the way over, looked dazzled, of course, also knew that the Song Dynasty was so big and prosperous, so the attitude became more and more humble and humble, Zhao Ji was more satisfied, and gave everyone an official position of the Song Dynasty, of course, this official position should not be taken seriously, but in addition, many gifts were given, and only then sent envoys to send them back to Zhancheng.
However, now Hali Varman must not know, Wang Ju sent them to the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't avoid some worries in his heart, so there was Wang Ju's explanation and goodwill today.
"Then please do it." Wang Ju said.
This group of people sent them to Hangzhou by sea boat, and then they were transferred to inland river boats, and sailed all the way to the capital, where they stayed for a while, and then went south to Hangzhou along the Bianshui River, and then returned to Cham along the monsoon.
The itinerary was arranged for them, and the ship was also arranged, and the ship was very luxuriously arranged, since it was a barrier, there was no need to abuse it.
Wang Ju sent them to the dock.
There are still many boats by the wharf, but most of them are fishing boats, and real sea cargo ships are rare, and it is the time of the monsoon change, and the southbound ships have not come, and the northbound ships have long left.
However, there were still a small number of ships staying for various reasons, and someone who knew Wang Ju shouted with great gratitude: "Ming Gong." ”
"Less insurance."
Although Wang Ju has been away from Quanzhou for more than two years, he has left too deep a mark in Quanzhou, especially the seafarers. Wang Ju also waved his hand kindly.
Then he stood beside the boat and said, "Hali, I wish you a smooth journey." ”
The group got on the boat, and the big ship set sail quickly.
Wang Ju turned his head and said, "General He, I have wronged you." ”
Before Khali returned, He Bin had to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed here, and cooperated with the nobles sent by Hali to govern the city of Zhancheng, until Khali returned, and He Bin could decide whether to withdraw his troops or not depending on the situation.
And then there's that section of the Great Wall......
When I arrived here, forced by the Changshan Mountain Range, the terrain was really narrow, less than 100 miles wide, but it was not the narrowest, the narrowest was the original border between Champa and Nghe An Prefecture, which was only 40 miles wide. Therefore, Wang Ju left a part of the docile "Kunlun slaves" and asked them to build this section of the Great Wall, which was actually to prevent future ripping. The Great Wall was built, and the people of Champa were dead, which was conducive to the peace of relations between the two countries. After the Great Wall was repaired, these Kunlun slaves scattered to various places on the East Guangnan Road.
In order to repair the Great Wall smoothly, He Bin also had to take the army to camp in Champa for a period of time.
But Wang Ju's plan for the Beibu Gulf came to an end.
The next step may be Dali, which will be a new beginning...... (To be continued......)
