Note: The timeline needs to be explained here.
The main premise of the above chapter that King Annan held a banquet in the palace of Champa is that it was mentioned in this chapter that Annan occupied Champa in advance because of the assistance of the Tang Dynasty.
Let me explain again. The previous article mentioned that the Tang Dynasty sent troops from Jiangnan East Road to conquer the southern lair of the person behind the Afurong case.
This Southland refers to the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands.
This article is based on a cross-section of people. Behind the Afurong incident, there are traces of the Europeans who traveled through time. It was found that there was a hideout in the Southland, which triggered the war.
(About the map of the Tang Dynasty and the Indochina Peninsula, I will post the map in the book circle for those who are interested to see it.)
In the article, King Annan is willing to go to Champa as a vassal. , listen to Datang and be the best little brother.
In official history, at this time in the Indochina Peninsula, Annam, Champa (also translated as Champa), and Chenla (today's Cambodia) were basically not at peace. It was always either you hitting me or I hitting you.
Especially Annan and Champa have always had friction. Annan marched all the way south and finally destroyed Champa.
According to official history, the city was occupied and the country was destroyed in 1697 AD, which was the 30th year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty.
For the sake of the plot, I directly pulled the timeline so that Champa was destroyed in advance, but only a small number of residual forces still existed.
Those small countries in the Indochina Peninsula had different names in different historical periods of China. For example, today's Vietnam was called Annan in the Tang Dynasty, and was called Jiaozhi during the Zhu Di Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
I just took a brief look at it, and did not have a detailed and in-depth understanding of the history of Indochina. I hope the textual research party will not pursue it too much. This article is a fiction and it is all made up by me.
============================
The following is the text:
Jiang Yijun and Bi Qionglan went to the Champa Palace to attend the New Year’s Eve banquet held by King Annan. They were in a small wooden house in a mountain col quite far away from Champa. , Du Qinghui, Lu Yunting and three generals of the Imperial Guard from different walks of life gathered in front of a large sand table.
It was dark, and oil lamps had been lit in the house.
A general named Wang raised an oil lamp and shined a light on the position on the sand table, "If we can break through this place and defend it, then this battle will be won!"
This year For many years, Du Qinghui led his people from Songping County (now Hanoi, Vietnam) and sailed along this coastline. Relying on the artillery at sea and black powder on land, they helped King Annan kill Champa by surprise. .
Otherwise, King Annan would not have occupied the original palace in Champa City to hold a banquet.
But the further south you advance, the more difficult this battle becomes. In addition to the fact that the soldiers are not adapted to the climate, the main reason is that there are not many soldiers sent south, and each one is cherished.
As for the Annan soldiers sent by King Annan, the language barrier is probably a big problem. The key is that they are disobedient and there will always be differences due to religious beliefs.
Therefore, Du Qinghui and the others simply ignored the Annan soldiers and only brought soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to fight this battle.
Coupled with the mountainous forests, complex terrain, and changeable climate here, it is very difficult for foreign Tang soldiers to fight.
The most important thing is that the people in Champa don’t know what religion they believe in. They are really cruel.
Even if he was taken prisoner by the Tang people and whipped with a leather whip, he would still be disobedient.
Lu Yunting looked at the location pointed by General Wang and nodded slightly. He said: "The residents here do not obey the teachings like the Annan people. Obviously they just need to submit like Annan, but they insist on being with us. Fight to the death.
Isn't there news from the Guards that they really know how to kill people, drink blood and eat flesh?
We must kill them all this time, at least most of them. They all have to be defeated. If that doesn't work, General," Lu Yunting looked at Du Qinghui who had been silent: "I propose to set the mountain on fire!"
Lu Yunting's suggestion attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Not to mention General Wang, General Li and General Zhou who were standing aside looked at this man in a strange place, still wearing a scholar's robe, and holding a hand. Holding the folding fan and looking at Lu Yunting, who looked like an easy-to-talk scholar, the three of them had only one sentence in their minds:
Sure enough, a person who is good at reading has a heart!
Seeing that Du Qinghui did not show any expression of disagreement, Lu Yunting added more enthusiastically: "Although it rained today, it only rained heavily on the other side of Champa City.
< br>It’s only raining a little bit here. I’ve asked the local old man who is familiar with the celestial phenomena before, and there will be absolutely no rain in two days!” I picked up a small flag and planted it on a hill.
"There is a stream upstream here. We sent people to give medicine in advance. The people from the Imperial Medical Office who came this time already have some medicine kits. It doesn't need to be bloody to seal the throat, as long as it is medicine that can make people feel weak or sleepy.
In this way, wait one night and set the fire when the sun is shining brightly tomorrow.
Those who were lucky enough to survive both times will have to flee down the mountain in order to survive. As long as we send troops to guard here and here," Lu Yunting took out the small flag again and planted it in two places, "we can stop them directly.
There will only be a few people left to escape. If our deployment poses no threat, just let those Annan soldiers staying here go into the mountain and arrest them.
Thinking about it this way, the Zhenla royal family should be more surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. "
Lu Yunting's crazy strategy was not approved by Du Qinghui in the end, "It's not necessary to do this now.
Use General Wang's strategy first. If this strategy fails, then talk about Yunting's method. "
Lu Yunting was not sad after being rejected. He just shook his head, but didn't say much.
General Wang, General Li and General Zhou bowed their hands to Du Qinghui. After that, they left the wooden house and the three of them returned to their respective hiding places and waited for the time to lead the troops out.
Du Qinghui and Lu Yunting were the only two people left in the wooden house for a while. They sat face to face. Lu Yunting held the warm tea cup in his hand and looked at the shadows of the trees outside in the moonlight. He couldn't help but feel He said: "General, today is the New Year."
Of course Du Qinghui knew that today was the New Year. He paused and glanced at Lu Yunting, and then called the guard outside the door to come in.
After giving the order, two quarters of an hour later, there were two plates of cakes and a bowl of steaming soup cakes in front of Lu Yunting.
Lu Yunting picked up a piece of cake and ate it. After tasting the taste, he looked at Du Qinghui in surprise: "General, Commander Xue is here?
The taste of this cake is delicious. It’s not what the cook in our camp can do.”
Du Qinghui took a sip from the bowl of soup cakes in front of him, which was obviously twice as big as Lu Yunting's. Then he picked up the soup cakes in the bowl with chopsticks and nodded in response to Lu Yunting's question: "Well, Xue Yao is here, but Already gone.”
The two of them finished eating the soup cakes, and it was almost time to take action.
Lu Yunting got up and walked to the window of the wooden house to wait. Sure enough, after a few breaths, a red smoke light lit up in the southeast direction.
Immediately afterwards, two red letter smokes also lit up from the southwest.
“It’s begun.”
After Lu Yunting said this, he felt a little sigh in his heart. He turned back to look at Du Qinghui, who was still sitting at the table drinking tea: "General, Yunting, when I recommended myself to you, I always thought about whether the future would be good or not. You can follow the example of Immortal Zhuge in helping the emperor to rise to power.
How could you imagine that today, I am the one who destroys the country in a foreign land thousands of miles away from Chang'an? General, Yunting, I really can’t imagine what good life will come next if I follow the general?”
When Du Qinghui listened to Lu Yunting’s ridiculing and lamenting words, he thought of what Emperor Wu said that day. Here comes what he said: "Do you think I want to be the emperor?"
After Du Qinghui looked at Lu Yunting with emotion, he coughed lightly and looked at Lu Yunting who turned around and said this : "Yunting, you are only in your thirties. If you are willing in the future, we can go to the New World together. If you like it, it is not impossible for us to build a country in the New World.
It's just that now, the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful all over the world. It's really hard to break this kind of life. I don't want to start that war.
This troop dispatch is also intended to lay a foundation here. In the future, sea ships will be built better and better, and it is not nonsense for us to go further south to find the new continent.
When the time comes, if you like it, I can help you ascend the throne. "
Lu Yunting told Du Qinghui that he was really stunned when he said this, "General, are you in a daze after eating too many soup cakes? "
Lu Yunting stepped forward and stretched out his hand to explore Du Qinghui's forehead, "It's not hot, could it be that you accidentally fell into the witchcraft here? ”
Du Qinghui, who did not comfort Lu Yunting well but made Lu Yunting worried, raised his hand and knocked off Lu Yunting's hand. He said angrily with a dark face: "I think you just can't bear the prosperity of Chang'an!"

==================
The recent five-year series has written a lot about the Southland region. Some people may have some questions about certain place names. No sense of reality.
I have posted relevant maps in the book circle, and those who are interested can take a look.
===================
War is a means of seeking peace, and ending war with war is a practical and effective method.
Whenever, when the contradiction between productivity and development cannot be resolved, careerists will emerge to provoke a war. They are just the fuse, but they will trigger a bloody war.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. History is made up of countless lives stained with blood and tears.
May the world be peaceful.

Also, I really caught up. Something happened in the beautiful family recently. It seems that Texas and the federal government are going to fight. In fact, it is a partisan fight.
