At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 257 Champa King

Shenglong City was not damaged, and the handover went smoothly.

For the people of Annan, it was nothing more than a change of ruler, and there was no difference. Therefore, the whole process was orderly, and occasionally there were some disturbances, which quickly subsided.

After Zhang Fu took over Shenglong, he first executed Li Sicheng and his son in the street, and then promulgated three laws.

Article [-], all taxes are halved.

Article [-]: Re-check the acres of land, and all the land that was seized in the past will be returned to the people after verification.

Article [-]: People in Annan and Ming Dynasty are treated equally. They can take the imperial examination and enter the court as an official. Of course, this is the new imperial examination.

Once these three laws were promulgated, the people of Shenglong City were overjoyed.

For many years, Annan has been constantly in turmoil between the Ming Dynasty and the Houli Dynasty. Every time there is a war, the people at the bottom are the first to bear the brunt.

As long as there is a battle on the front line, young and strong men will be arrested and sent to the army. There are no young and strong in the family, and they have to pay high money and food to cover military expenses. The common people have already suffered a lot.

Knowing that Daming attacked again, everyone felt panic in their hearts.

Perhaps, they will die on the battlefield, perhaps, the only food stored in their family will be confiscated.

All in all, they hated Daming to the core.

However, when the Ming army occupied Thang Long, killed Li's father and son, and promulgated new laws, everyone suddenly realized that perhaps, what they hated was not Ming, but war.

If there was no Houli Dynasty, life would be much easier under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

The people in the whole city rushed to tell each other, passing the three chapters of the Ming Dynasty to each other.

At first some people didn't believe it, but seeing that the Ming army really began to investigate the nobles and measure the acres of fields, they finally became convinced that what they had heard before was that the Ming army was extremely vicious, like ghosts from hell, and it was just a lie made up by those nobles!
Since then, the only trace of nostalgia for the Li Dynasty in their hearts has also disappeared.

After Zhang Fu finished all this, he left Duke Qian Mu Bin to sit in Shenglong, and he brought Mahegui and Princess Xuanzhen from the royal family of Champa to Tsinghua City to join Zhu Qiyu.

Thanh Hoa City is much worse than Thang Long City. Most of the houses were burned down and needed to be rebuilt.

Fortunately, some people in the army knew how to burn lime and make cement, so they organized the local people to dig mountains and build cement workshops. Suddenly, the entire Qinghua city was under construction.

Here, the best-preserved one is the royal palace, where King Mahabharaya, who was captured by the Annans, was imprisoned in the royal palace.

That night, Li Sicheng and his son were in a hurry to escape, and they had no time to consider that there was a prisoner here. The people under their command didn't get clear orders, and they didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so Mahabharaya escaped unharmed.

However, when the Ming army found him, he had been imprisoned for three days, and he was almost starved to death...

Mahabharaya didn't know what happened outside, only heard a loud noise like thunder, and then the flames burst into the sky. The fire burned for two days and two nights, the palace was in chaos, and all the guards at the gate were gone. gone.

Until the third day, when I learned that it was the King Yi of the Ming Dynasty who personally led the troops to rescue me, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and publicized the country's prestige to the outside world. Among the small foreign countries that were affiliated to the Yuan Dynasty, Champa was the first to recognize the Ming regime and voluntarily belonged to it.

This time Annan captured the city, and before Mahabharaya was defeated, he asked the Daming envoys for help many times, but all of them fell to nothing, presumably they were intercepted and killed by Annan people halfway.

Over the past year of being imprisoned, he has hoped countless times that one day he will be able to get out of here.

However, time passed day by day, from the initial anticipation to the gradual loss of hope, I thought I would die, but I didn't expect that the Ming army came!

God bless Zhancheng, Daming has not forgotten this little brother thousands of miles away!

Zhu Qiyu ordered people to invite Mahabharaya to the main hall, but he didn't tell the story of the battle, but asked about various matters such as the local conditions and customs of Champa.

Mahabharaya was flattered, answered all questions, and vowed firmly that the Champa Kingdom would belong to the Ming Dynasty forever, and was willing to be the leader of the horse.

Only three days later, the news of Shenglong City's destruction came, and a few days later, Zhang Fu came to Qinghua with Mahagui, Princess Xuanzhen and others.

When the two saw the old king, their excitement was beyond words.

The three reunited after a long absence, as if they had been separated for a lifetime, and naturally they had a lot to say, Zhu Qiyu temporarily placed them in a separate courtyard, and then called Fan Jinglong, Minister of Military Affairs, and Pan Peng, Minister of Rites.

Since the two men surrendered, they have been very diligent, especially Fan Jinglong, who gets up early and works late every day, leads people to clean up the streets, and has already disposed of tens of thousands of dead bodies.

Pan Peng was not idle either. As Annan's minister of rites, he was in charge of etiquette and law, and now he had a place to use his skills.

What he has to do every day is to publicize the benevolence and righteousness of Ming Dynasty and the crimes of the Houli Dynasty. To sum it up in one sentence, Annan's change of Jiaozhi is an act of God's will.

"Your Majesty, Fan Jinglong, greet Your Highness!"

"Pan Peng, the next official, greet Your Highness!"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands and said, "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although the two stood up, they bowed and asked, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "The two of you bring a team of troops and escort King Champa back to the country."

Fan Jinglong looked overjoyed, saluted and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave this matter to the subordinate officials, and I promise to send you back smoothly!"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Pan Peng and said, "You used to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites in Annan. Now go to Champa, hand over this letter of credence to the current King of Champa, and tell him that what Daming promised to Champa has already been done. Now it's time to go to Champa. Champa fulfilled its promise."

Pan Peng saluted slowly and said, "I would like to obey His Royal Highness's order!"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, and then said: "If someone asks you when you arrive in Zhancheng, you can say that you are an official of Ming Dynasty, understand?"

The two looked at each other, excited at the same time.

Annan's general and Ming officials are two completely different identities.

If you go to Champa, if you hear that you are Annan's general, you will definitely despise and even be hostile.

However, it is completely different to say that he is an official of Ming Dynasty and appointed by His Royal Highness King Tan!

The other party must serve him with delicious food and drink, and he must give more gold and silver.

It seems that the hard work during this period has not been in vain, and we will develop in the future!

The two got high spirits and walked out of the hall.

A figure flashed behind the screen, Zhang Fu walked over, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did His Highness send Annan people to escort him?"

Zhu Qiyu said thoughtfully: "It's not necessarily a good thing to have the same day two days."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the old minister has brought enough soldiers and horses, forgive him for the little king of Champa and dare not do anything wrong!"

Zhang Fu was disapproving all over his face, as if he didn't take Zhancheng seriously.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Our soldiers and horses should not act rashly for the time being, first see what the other party's attitude is, and then make plans."
