Chapter 1627 Lombard's Struggle
What Gao Tianlu said was indeed what was happening.

After the Champaign Revival Society was established and returned to China, according to the information of the Skynet Army, Su Yonglin learned that peasant uprisings were breaking out in the Chenla Kingdom, the scale was large or small, and the persistence time was long or short.

The current ruler of Chenla, Tribhuva Nadedovarman, was usurped the throne. There were many people who opposed him in the country, but his military strength was relatively strong. Although his rule was strict, his rule was relatively stable.

At that time, Su Yonglin thought of preparing in advance, so he arranged for a small organization of the Revival Society to follow the Skynet Army's path, enter Chenla Country as a business traveler, settle in Chenla Country, learn the local language and culture, and observe the situation.

According to their observations, the domestic conflicts in Chenla have been in existence since Tribhuva Nadedovarman came to power. From time to time, small military turmoil occurs, and the living conditions of farmers are getting worse and worse, and outbreaks have erupted in many places. uprising.

Although none of these uprisings have ever been successful, it at least proved that there is ground for revolution in Chenla, so Su Yonglin decided to invest resources in the Chenla area and provide funds for their activities, so that they could carry out operations in the Chenla area.

Not to mention, their actions are quite efficient.

The son of a Chenla merchant led a peasant uprising in the northeastern part of the Chenla kingdom.

The uprising was small in scale, and was quickly defeated by the local landlords. The son of the merchant retreated into the jungle with a group of defeated soldiers, and there was no news.

This is not surprising. Such a thing is not uncommon in the local area. If it does not happen two or three times a month, it will make people feel abnormal.

But this peasant uprising was really abnormal, because the organizer of the uprising, the businessman's son, organized the peasant uprising with the first volume of Hongwu's Political Theory.

When he heard the news, the members that Su Yonglin sent to Zhenla to start the organization were very surprised. They didn't expect that some people in this deep mountain forest would have read Hongwu's political commentary.

The local Skynet Army in Annan took several revival members from the southwest of Annan through the primitive jungle into the northeastern region of the Chenla Kingdom through some channels and relationships, where they found the merchant's son.

When I found this man, he was disheveled, with very long hair and beard, ragged clothes, scrawny, and looked like a savage in a primitive society.

At this moment, there are only 36 subordinates following him. They hunt here, eat wild fruits, live in trees, fight against fierce beasts and poisonous snakes, and struggle to survive.

His name is Lombalin, and he can communicate in simple Chinese. Although he has a special accent, the Fuxing members who are also not familiar with the language of the Chenla area have a wonderful encounter with him on the radio, and their communication is actually very smooth.

Lombalin was very surprised that these Ming people could find him, and felt that it was impossible. However, because the other party was a Ming country, he was not vigilant. Instead, he chatted with them frankly and told about his past.

It turned out that his father was a maritime businessman who traveled between Chenla and Quanzhou to do business. He was a well-known rich man in the country of Chenla. His family was powerful and wealthy, so his living environment was very good since he was a child.

He was taken to Quanzhou by his father to see the world when he was a child. He lived in Quanzhou for five or six years and mastered simple Chinese communication skills. He was even better at reading and writing Chinese characters.

In the sixth year of Hongwu, when he was in Quanzhou, he was brought into contact with a strange book by his father. His father said that it was a book written by the emperor of a great northern country. Quanzhou, which was in charge of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, was a banned book and could not be publicized. , but can sneak a peek.

So he read the book under the guidance of his father.

Lombalin said that his father was his guide, and he admired this book very much. He believed that the Ming kingdom was a great country, and the emperor of the Ming kingdom was also a great person. He also said that this book would be of great use in the future. , let him keep it well, and study it carefully when he has time.

But at that time, his life was carefree and he didn't have such a deep understanding of this book, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, the Ming Kingdom went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was turbulent. Lombalin and his father left Quanzhou because of the war and returned to live in Chenla, ready to return when the situation eased.

As a result, this time, his family suffered a cataclysm. For some reason, he offended the current king who usurped the throne, and his family was annihilated. His father died tragically to cover his escape, and he ran away to the northeast.

He lost everything, and he only carried with him the Hong Wu Zheng Lun that his father had stuffed into his arms before he died.

In the years that followed, in order to survive, he joined the refugee team and followed the refugee team to find a large landlord family who was willing to recruit refugees to farm the land. eat.

During his time as a serf, he had a profound understanding of the hardships of the peasants at the bottom, and witnessed how the landlord class abused the serfs. Heartbreaking.

It was a misery unimaginable in his past life.

It was at this time that Hong Wu's political theory became his spiritual support. When it was quiet at night, he would sneak to a lighted place outside the landlord's yard, and use the light to read, over and over again, over and over again. I couldn't help crying.

Gradually, he felt that he was sublimated, a little different, and the angle of looking at things was completely different.

He began to try to secretly build a reputation among the serfs who worked hard with him. When someone was injured, he was the first to help. When someone was starving, he squeezed out a little ration of his own to help others. When someone was bullied, he would definitely step forward. Help the place.

Although he was beaten badly every time, he took it all down.

Gradually, he had the right to speak among the serf groups, and some people began to listen, some believed, and some obeyed.

Going back, he couldn't restrain his desire to rebel. He secretly taught the serfs the truth of Hongwu's political theory, and taught them to read and write Chinese characters and the local characters of Chenla, to help them open their horizons and say something. things that you have experienced.

So he became more famous.

A year ago, the landlord they were serving probably saw that their lives were barely enough, and felt that it would not be possible to continue like this, and it would not be convenient for him to make further money, so he decided to revise the agreement with them to turn over the proportion of grain. promote.

After doing this, everyone's mentality collapsed.

The original rations were barely subsistence, and if the proportion of the food they handed over was to be further increased, would they still need to eat or should they live?
So the big guys rebelled and lodged a strong protest, and Lombalin became the leader of the protest movement at this very moment, leading everyone to protest strongly, using no farming or working as a means of resistance, demanding that the landlords revise their measures and make compromises.
