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

Chapter 149
Zhu Qiyu asked: "What happened?"

Although Mohegui couldn't understand Chinese, he guessed something from Zhu Qiyu's reaction, so he babbled loudly.

Xuan Zhen then translated: "My country of Champa regards Daming as the kingdom of heaven, and pays tribute to Ming Dynasty every year. I have been loyal for a hundred years. May I ask His Royal Highness, the land of Champa has been invaded by neighboring countries, and the people have been brutally poisoned by war. Daming Why sit idly by?"

Zhu Qiyu's face became serious, and he asked, "Tell me clearly, what happened?"

Mahagui continued to yell, very emotionally.

Xuanzhen translated: "Annan Kingdom Zheng Ke led the army to attack Champa, the capital city of Vijaya fell, and King Mahabharaya of Champa was captured. He also asked the Celestial Dynasty to send troops to help Champa regain the capital and welcome back His Majesty the King!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Fengtian Hall suddenly fell into silence.

The grievances between Annan and Champa have a long history, and even the Ming Dynasty took a lot of effort to mediate from it.

The small countries around the Central Plains, such as Annan, Champa, Koryo, etc., were all vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty. At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, due to the unstable foundation, and Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to go to war with the surrounding countries. After Hongwu, he immediately sent envoys to the surrounding countries to proclaim:
"I am the lord of China, and the world is safe. I am afraid that the unknown will be unknown, so I sent envoys to repay the countries... Since I am the lord of the world, I am unknown to the Chinese and the barbarians. Although the surname is different, the characters are like."

Among them, Annan Kingdom and Champa Kingdom are included.

However, the two countries have shown completely opposite responses.

During the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Annan took the opportunity to break away from the control of the Yuan court, and sent troops to attack the Yongping village on Siming Road, surpassing the copper pillars demarcated by the Yuan Dynasty for more than [-] miles, and occupied five counties including Qiuwen and Qingyuan.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, although Annan accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty on the surface and regarded him as the suzerain, in fact, he secretly invaded a lot of land northward.

Zhu Yuanzhang once issued an order to Chen Rikun, king of Annan, to return the five counties including Qiuwen and Qingyuan, but Annan claimed that the soldiers refused. The small country mainly focused on appeasement, and was unwilling to fight again, so it ignored it, and Annan has been in a semi-independent state since then.

Champa was just the opposite. When the Ming Dynasty released its goodwill toward neighboring countries, Champa quickly responded positively and sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty. Most of the envoys from Champa were members of the royal family such as princes, uncles, and grandsons. , fully expressing Champa's respect for the Ming Dynasty.

During the Hongwu period alone, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to Champa seven times, issued imperial edicts to Champa and other countries, and issued tribute documents, which spread the Confucianism of the Central Plains overseas.

Since then, there has always been a friendly suzerain-vassal relationship between Champa and the Ming court. Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of this younger brother. He listed it as the first batch of non-expropriation countries in the emperor's ancestral training, and warned future generations not to do whatever they want. crusade.

In contrast, An Nanguo was a double-faced villain. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di couldn't stand what they did, so he sent troops to destroy the country, and then changed it to Jiaozhi chief envoy.

But later, Ming fought frequently with Beiyuan, and had no time to look south. There were constant rebellions in Annan. When Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, Li Li rebelled against the Ming and established the Later Li Dynasty.

Due to the Southern and Northern Wars during the Yongle period, and the feat of sailing to the West, the national strength was seriously insufficient. Zhu Zhanji weighed the pros and cons, and finally adopted a strategy of recuperation, so he simply gave up Annan.

In the second year of Zhengtong, the Ming court named Li Li the king of Annan, and the two countries restored the tributary system.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen ordered Zhang Fu to be in Jing'an, and all officials would object.

In their minds, Da Ming is the kingdom of heaven, even if there is a war, Da Ming cannot take the initiative to provoke a war, otherwise, wouldn't it be bullying the small by the big?

How could these pampered elders think that An Nanguo secretly captured the capital and captured the king.

Just imagine, what would it be like if the emperor of Ming Dynasty was captured by Oala?
Zhu Qiyu asked again: "When did it happen? Why didn't you send an envoy to Daming for help?"

Xuan Zhen said: "The king was captured in May last year. At that time, His Royal Highness Mahagui led troops to stop Annan's army, and at the same time sent envoys to Daming to ask for help, but Daming ignored it."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly understood, last year he was too busy to fight with you, how could he have time to take care of your mess?
"The Emperor is here!"

A sharp voice came, and all the officials hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen looking excited, he quickly entered the hall, and asked as he walked, "Where is he?"

Mohegui and Xuanzhen hurriedly saluted, and Zhu Qiyu briefly described the two of them and what they just said.

Zhu Qizhen nodded repeatedly, came to the two of them, looked up and down, his eyes were full of surprise.

These two couldn't help feeling flustered, thinking what happened to the emperor of Ming Dynasty, we are here to complain, why are you acting... so excited?
We were beaten, and the king was also taken away. This should be a sad thing!

Why are you laughing?
Still laughing so wretchedly...

Zhu Qizhen sniffed his nose and noticed something strange, but he didn't care about it now.

"I'm here to ask you, who started this war?"

Xuan Zhen subconsciously took half a step back and said, "Of course An Nanguo started the incident!"

"Sure enough!"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and clapped his hands: "I have long felt that An Nanguo is treacherous and ambitious. If he dares to use troops against Champa today, he won't come to Beijing tomorrow?"

Xuanzhen is a little puzzled, our capital was attacked, what does it have to do with your Daming?
But he didn't know that for Zhu Qizhen, it was called sleepy sending a pillow!

I was worrying that there was no reason to send troops, so you came here. Isn't this just a coincidence?

The faces of Cao Nai and others were also very tangled, the emperor's intentions were obvious, it seems that the battle between Daming and An Nanguo must be fought.

Behind him, Gao Zhu stood up and said: "Qizou Emperor, Annan Kingdom's use of troops against Champa is a conflict between other countries. As a kingdom of heaven, I, Ming Dynasty, should not be involved in its disputes. The old minister suggested, The imperial court issued a mediation decree, allowing him to release the king of Champa and order the two countries to rebuild their friendship, so it is also a good deed for the people of the two countries."

Zhu Qizhen didn't show anything on the surface, but he was very clear in his heart.

Gao Hub didn't want to see Daming send troops to Annan because of the smuggling group behind him, and one of the important channels was An Nanguo.

Up to now, this person is still thinking about his own business, hmph, if he hadn't been worried about scaring away the big fish behind him, he would have sent Jin Yiwei to raid your house long ago!

However, even if Daming doesn't send troops directly to Annan, he only needs to take advantage of the opportunity of mediation to put pressure on Annan, and sooner or later this battle will be fought.

Zhu Qizhen weighed it for a long time, and finally said: "The cabinet drafted an order to order An Nanguo to release King Champa. If not, Ming Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by!"

Cao Nai replied: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen said again: "Jing'an County King!"

Zhang Fu hurried forward: "The old minister is here!"

"This matter is related to the relationship between my Daming and the vassal state. It is very important. After thinking about it, the Qing family should go there in person!"

Zhang Fu hastily agreed: "Old minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Qizhen added: "It's a long way to go to Annan. In order to protect the safety of Qing's family, the cabinet made another decree to send Nanjing soldiers and horses to escort them."

Others look at me and I look at you, but they don't know what to do.

After working for a long time, are you still ready to fight?

Although he was very reluctant, it was normal for the king of Jing'an to send troops to escort Annan when he was an envoy!

When Zhu Qizhen said these words, Xuanzhen kept translating in Mohagui's ear in a low voice.

Mohagui was overjoyed, and fell to his knees with a thud, crying with snot and tears.

Xuan Zhen also knelt down and said respectfully: "On behalf of King Mahabharaya and thousands of subjects in Champa, I thank His Majesty the Emperor for his great kindness!"
