I am Da Song

Chapter 635 Twenty Thousand War Elephants vs. One Hundred Thousand Cavalry

Some ministers have been able to write that kind of nasty letter for 30 to [-] years. From Sichuan Road to Guangnan Road, they have traveled all over the country, but their feelings of missing the official family have never changed.

Even generals like Orihiko can write nasty poems like "I don't know the depth of the sea, but I can see the breadth of Enbo." Imagine how greasy the performances of those civil servants were.

Zhao Huan was completely immune to this kind of rhetoric of showing loyalty. Hearing this, he said to Jaya: "I didn't see you missing me so much last month? Why did your feelings suddenly become warm after Surya's death?"

Jaya's full name is Jayavarman or Jayavarman VII.

He was one of the most respected three god kings in the later Wu Ge Dynasty.

Of course, he also has an elder brother named Suryavarman, the king of the Angkor dynasty who built Angkor Wat.

Last month, when the news of Surya's death reached Tokyo, the prince Jaya could no longer sit still, jumping up and down, and ran to the palace every day.

I can't wait to show my face in front of Zhao Huan every day, and let the emperor of the Song Dynasty know that there is such a generous and friendly man in the Angkor Dynasty, who is known for his prestige and high morals. The orthodox heir.

In fact, Zhao Huan was very familiar with this person.

In the strategy game "Civilization 6", which was most sought after by Zhao Huan in later generations, the ruler of Khmer is this Jayavarman VII.

In history, he forcibly changed the ruling state religion of the Angkor Dynasty from Hinduism to Mahayana Buddhism. From this alone, you can imagine how talented he is.

But now, history is obviously led by Zhao Huan to a fork in the road.

This former follower of Mahayana Buddhism has now become a supporter of the Song and Zhuxia civilizations.

If he is allowed to succeed, it is conceivable that the Angkor Dynasty will immediately and violently push away the Zhuxia culture.

Their capital, which is mixed with the countryside in the rainforest, will immediately develop into a city similar to the Central Plains, and shrines and Lanruo temples will be converted into schools of classics, martial arts, and literature.

When Jaya heard Zhao Huan's words, he said in a low voice, "I also suddenly felt this way."

Zhao Huan was too lazy to argue with him, and said directly: "You are not the orthodox heir of the Angkor Dynasty. Your father passed the throne to your elder brother Surya. It stands to reason that your elder brother should also pass the throne to your nephew. Maybe you can ask The canonized envoys are already on their way. What do you want to do with your age?"

As Zhao Huan said, Jaya missed the opportunity to succeed to the throne time and time again.

It's just that his perseverance is really admirable. He even traveled thousands of miles from Nanyang to Tokyo, and stayed here all year round, just waiting for an opportunity.

Jaya quickly said: "Officials, I know my nephews, and they don't have much talent. Letting them succeed to the throne will inevitably lead to turmoil in the country, foreign enemies invade, the land falls, mountains and rivers are broken, and people suffer."

Zhao Huan smiled lightly and said, "You are good at learning idioms."

Other than that, no comments were made.

Jaya immediately understood that all these officials didn't care at all.

Regardless of whether the Angkor dynasty's civil war or foreign war had any effect on the emperor's interests.

The Son of Heaven will not pay a price to change the current decision because of something that has not happened in the future.

After all, if the eldest nephew is chosen to succeed, the imperial court only needs to affix the seal of the Shang Palace Bureau, which consumes the most ink pad.

But if he wants to support him, the prince, to take the throne, then the imperial court must truly use various means of strength and pay tangible benefits.

Jaya immediately said: "If the minister succeeds to the throne, he must treat Song as his father. He will be promoted internally to become a king and sent abroad to worship. Measure the material resources of the country and bring joy to the heavenly dynasty."

Zhao Huan said indifferently: "Suliye has already done all these things. If you have nothing else to say and you have already met Zhen, you can step back. Follow the envoy back to the country, and then you will not be able to enter Beijing if there is no choice."

Jaya finally lost all dignity, and immediately said urgently and excitedly: "I have one last word to say, and I am willing to hand over the entire area on the Mekong River to the Holy Dynasty."

Zhao Huan finally had a little bit of emotion. In fact, the Angkor Dynasty has always been regarded as a very powerful military force in the direction of Nanyang.

Later, the Qing-Myanmar War was basically fought on the territory he now ruled.

It's just that under the current powerful force of the Song Dynasty, the Angkor Dynasty seems insignificant.

But now he covers almost the entire peninsula, has a large population, and has a very strong strategic background.

This place is very suitable for agricultural development. During the reign of the three god kings, they all actively built large-scale irrigation systems to facilitate farming.There used to be an envoy named Zhou Daguan from the Central Plains who arrived in Angkor and stayed there for a long time. Finally, he wrote "Chenla Fengtu Ji", which described in detail the appearance of Angkor at that time.According to his description, the Angkor Dynasty was a place where there was plenty of food and clothing. Many people from the Central Plains who came to do business did not want to return to China and settled there.

This is in line with Zhao Huan's understanding of them. As long as they accept the civilization of the Central Plains, actively build water conservancy, and develop agriculture, the local climate can make the grain very high, and the wealth is not weaker than that of the Central Plains.

And handing over all the lines along the Mekong River to Song Dynasty means that the Song army has mastered their customs defense, and their troops must evacuate here.

The Song Dynasty Navy can enter and leave any place in the Angkor Dynasty anytime, anywhere.

This is already handing over the lifeblood of the country and the throat of life to Da Song.

For details, you can refer to the situation when Xiaotian was manipulated by Midi.

Even if he is in full swing, as long as Mi Di clenched his fists a little bit, he would have to bend down and beg for mercy.

So Zhao Huan asked: "I heard that in your Angkor dynasty, there are 20 war elephants, reaching the sea in the east, Bagan in the west, and Galuosi in the south?"

The 20 war elephants is not just nonsense by Zhao Huan, but what they really claim.

After the Li Dynasty was overthrown, their Angkor Dynasty was the only powerful country on the Nanyang Peninsula.

Suryavarman II reigned from the Jingkang period until his death in the 21st year of Jianye. For so many years, he fought abroad and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. He did not have the competitor of the Li Dynasty. He was really like a fish in water.

Regardless of territory, military strength, or national strength, they have all reached a peak.

They claim to have 20 war elephants, even if half of the water is removed, there are still [-] war elephants, which is almost equivalent to [-] cavalry.

Even like Cao Cao's 80 army, [-]% is water, and the Angkor Dynasty has [-] war elephants.

This scale has already frightened the surrounding small countries to tremble, and they dare not defy them at all.

If it weren't for Han Shizhong's navy in the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom, the artillery of the Song Dynasty defeated the main force of the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom.

It's really hard to imagine whether the Angkor Dynasty would arrogantly want to challenge the authority of the Holy Dynasty and use tens of thousands of war elephants to fight against the [-] cavalry in the Central Plains.
