Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 704, Xianglin Chief Minister

In the simple palace of Xinzhou Port, King Shakubulo of Champa stood beside Wang Shouren and Yang Yun respectfully, his whole body was a bit shorter.

He originally thought that Daming sent troops to help Champa to clean up Annan, but who knew that Daming did not want to help Champa, but wanted to occupy Annan, and by the way, even Champa would be occupied.

This was something he had never imagined.

Compared with Annan, Daming is stronger. If Daming wants to occupy Champa, how can they resist Champa?

Just relying on the fact that there are less than [-] mobs in Champa Kingdom?

They couldn't even win An Nanguo, and they even had to pay tribute to An Nanguo every year, let alone the master of Ming Dynasty.

What's more, now the Ming army has fully taken over the inside and outside of Xinzhou Port, and has begun to build large-scale wharves and ports in Xinzhou Port. It is obvious that this place should be built as an important port city. In the future, there will definitely be a Ming navy stationed here to deter the entire southeast peninsula and Southeast Asia.

Even if you want to resist now, it is already too late.

"Master Wang, Master Yang~"

"My Champa Kingdom has been on good terms with Daming for generations, and has always paid tribute to Daming. Why did Ming annex our Champa?"

Shagu Buluo said to Wang Shouren and Yang Yun with an expression of unwillingness.

"Since your Champa has been friendly with my Ming Dynasty for generations, my Ming Dynasty issued the Daming vassal state agreement last winter. Why are you Champa unwilling to sign it? Do you not want to become my Ming vassal state?"

Wang Shouren sighed slightly in his heart, and now he felt that it was difficult to deal with.

If Champa resisted, he would simply kill him, but it was simple. Now they didn't resist, but instead asked Daming why he annexed Champa, and told you about friendly exchanges, which is a headache.

After thinking about it, Wang Shouren also asked sharply.

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Shagu Buluo fell silent immediately. He also knew about the Daming vassal state agreement, but who was willing to sign such an agreement.

Once such an agreement is signed, it will really be a vassal of Daming, and in the future everything will depend on Daming's leadership.

More importantly, the Ming side requires that everything in the vassal state should be learned according to the Ming Dynasty. They must respect Confucianism and Taoism, change the Han surname, and learn Chinese. This is unacceptable by the Champa Kingdom.

Champa Kingdom used to be a country that believed in Buddhism, but in the past two hundred years, Champa City has also been influenced by the Islamic religion passed down from the Middle East and Persia, and many people have begun to convert to it.

As can be seen from the names of the kings of Champa, their culture and religion have changed.

If it is changed back at this time, there will inevitably be huge turmoil, and problems will occur throughout the country, which makes it very likely that the already weak Champa Kingdom will perish.

In addition, An Nanguo has put pressure on Champa. For Champa, Ming Dynasty is still far away, but Annan Kingdom is the north, and it is still a vassal state of Champa. An Nanguo is unwilling to sign the vassal state agreement. Champa is also not allowed to sign, and Champa naturally has to seriously consider this point.

"how?"

"Nothing to say?"

Wang Shouren looked at Shagubuluo and asked with a cold face.

"Xiao Wang has nothing to say, but my Zhancheng has never offended Da Ming, and now Da Ming wants to annex my Zhancheng, which seriously damages Da Ming's prestige."

Shagu Buluo thought for a while and replied, now at this time, he can only use Daming's prestige to see if it is useful.

After all, everyone has known that the people of Ming Dynasty are extremely good-faced, from the emperor to the ordinary people of Ming Dynasty.

"No offense to my Daming?"

Wang Shouren smiled coldly, and then asked, "My Daming Merchant Ship came to Zhancheng to do business, why did you wantonly levy heavy taxes on my Daming Merchant Ship?"

"Humph!"

"Whether it's Champa, Annan, or Siam, Malacca, Java, etc., it's all like this. They are all fearful of power and not virtuous."

"In the past, it was said that it was a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. Every time I paid tribute, my Ming Dynasty would return it several times. When I asked you to sign the vassal state agreement last year, none of them refused."

"When I went to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, because I didn't get any rewards, everyone held a grudge. They even deliberately targeted my merchants of the Ming Dynasty, imposed heavy taxes arbitrarily, and deliberately colluded with thieves, ransacked my merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and killed my merchants of the Ming Dynasty."

"Don't think that I, Da Ming, don't know anything. This time, my Da Ming army is here to seek justice for my Da Ming businessman."

Seeing that Shagubuluo had nothing to say, Wang Shouren snorted again and said.

"Xiao Wang dare not, Xiao Wang dare not~"

"All of this was persecuted by Annan's side. They want us to pay [-]% more tribute to Champa this year. We are small in Champa, so we can only find ways to collect taxes from some Ming merchants."

When Shagubuluo heard this, he immediately knelt down and said with snot and tears.

"Humph~"

"It seems that you are more afraid of Annan than we are afraid of Daming."

Wang Shouren laughed immediately. In fact, he was just looking for an excuse. Anyway, the annexation of Champa was already a certainty.

Champa must be occupied, and Liu Jin intends to continue to expand the land of Champa, approaching countries such as Siam, Chenla, Cambodia, and Ailao, forming a huge deterrent for them.

"Xiao Wang dare not~"

"Xiao Wang dare not~"

"Champa is willing to sign the Daming vassal state agreement and become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty."

Shagubulo shook his head again and again, and then kept talking.

"It's too late. My Ming army went south. Do you think it's just for you to sign the vassal state agreement?"

"This Zhancheng will be directly merged into my Ming Dynasty and become my Xianglin Province of my Ming Dynasty. As for you, in view of the friendly relationship between your Zhancheng City and my Ming Dynasty in the past, our son of Ming Dynasty should treat you well, and it is necessary to make you a prince. What the heck."

Wang Shouren looked at it, shook his head and said.

"Can you be a prince?"

"Being the prince of Ming Dynasty?"

When Shagubuluo heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then an ecstatic smile appeared on his face.

"I am willing, I am willing, Xiao Wang is willing to be Daming's prince, and Xiao Wang is willing to dedicate my Zhancheng to Daming."

Shakubulo was really overjoyed. He thought that if Ming wanted to annex Champa, he, the king of Champa, would definitely die. After all, it has been like this since ancient times.

But he didn't expect that it seemed that Da Ming's side would not only not kill him, but also let him go to Daming's side to become an idle prince, he said immediately.

He has a thousand wishes, ten thousand wishes.

Whether it was the envoys to Ming Dynasty or the businessmen of Ming Dynasty who came to Champa to do business, they all described to him the prosperity and beauty of Ming Dynasty.

He had wanted to visit Daming for a long time, but he never had the chance.

It's all right now, let's not be the king of Champa, anyway, the life of Champa is very sad now, and he, the king, has not had a good life for a few days.

It's better to merge into Daming, he, the king, can go to Daming to enjoy a good life in peace and stability, and the subjects of Champa Kingdom will also be the subjects of Daming Son in the future.

This identity and status are completely different, they will be Daming people from now on, who would dare to bully them again?
Seeing Shagubuluo's appearance, Wang Shouren and Yang Yun were slightly dumbfounded again. There is such a monarch?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems to be a good choice.

Because the King of Champa offered his country and led the entire Annan Kingdom to contribute to Daming and was willing to merge with Daming, so Wang Shouren and Yang Yun did not waste a single soldier in Champa, and they were easily settled. He took over the entire Champa Kingdom.

There was no resistance at all in the Champa Kingdom. Many people continued to celebrate after learning that they would be Ming people.

The Ming Dynasty in this era is synonymous with being strong and rich, while the Champa Kingdom is synonymous with being weak and poor. They merged into the Ming Dynasty at once, and they will be people of the Ming Dynasty in the future. This makes the Champa Kingdom very happy.

Liu Jin and Zhang Mao on the side of Shenglong City couldn't help being a little surprised after receiving the news. They didn't expect to annex Champa so smoothly without encountering the slightest resistance.

Moreover, Champa is different from Annan. Because Champa has been repeatedly invaded and slaughtered by the Annan Kingdom, Champa doesn't even have decent local tyrants and chieftains.

In addition, there was a feud between Champa and Annan, and Ming's annihilation of Annan was to avenge them, so Champa did not have any resistance to Ming's rule.

This point is extremely important.

Soon, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin began to send a large number of officials to Champa, and rushed to various places in Champa to take office, to promote Ming Confucianism and Taoism, to promote Ming writing and culture, and to ask Champa to start changing Chinese surnames. and Chinese names.

At the same time, it is also adjusting Champa, setting up Xianglin Buzhengshi, and the capital is also set up here in the port city of Xinzhou Port. Some of the original state capitals annexed by Annan are also reclassified to Xianglin Province, and in Xinzhou. Here in Zhougang, a large-scale construction of ports and wharves has begun, laying the foundation and preparations for the next sweep of Southeast Asian countries.

As for the king of Champa, he went to Tianjin by boat, and then went to Beijing from Tianjin, and let Emperor Hongzhi decide how to arrange it.

Killing will definitely not kill him, just as Wang Shouren said, since he is so sensible, then Daming will not treat him badly, a prince will definitely be canonized to him.

But in the future, he will definitely stay here in the capital, similar to those tribal leaders on the grassland, and be an idle prince of a foreign race here in the capital with peace of mind, enjoying life, dreaming and dying.

After all, he is the king of Zhancheng. If he wants to rule Xianglin Province in the future, his existence will definitely be extremely helpful. For many things, he can save a lot of trouble with one word, and can also reduce the number of people in Xianglin Province. of resistance.

　One is divided into two, so that it is more convenient to rule~
