Chapter 253 Champa King
Shenglong City was not destroyed, and the handover was going smoothly.
For the people of Annan, it was nothing more than a ruler, and there was no difference. Therefore, the whole process was orderly, and occasionally some riots occurred, which quickly subsided.
After Zhang Fu took over Shenglong, he first killed Li Sicheng and his son in the street, and then issued three laws and regulations.
Article 1: All taxes are reduced by half.
Article 2: Re-check the land and the land that has been occupied in the past will be returned to the people after verification.
Article 3: The people of Annan and the people of Ming Dynasty treated equally, and could take the imperial examinations and become officials in the court. Of course, what we are talking about here is the new imperial examination.
Once these three laws and regulations were issued, the people of Shenglong City were overjoyed.
Over the years, Annan has been constantly turbulent between the Ming Dynasty and the Houli Dynasty. Every time there is a war, the people at the bottom are the first to be affected.
As long as the front line war is fought, the young and strong man will be arrested to be reborn as a military force. There are no young and strong people in the family and they will have to pay high amounts of money and grain to reborn as a military expense. The people have already suffered a lot.
When everyone learned that the Ming Dynasty attacked again, they were frightened and uneasy.
Maybe, they will die on the battlefield, and maybe, the only food in their family will be levied.
In short, they hated the Ming Dynasty.
However, when the Ming army occupied Shenglong, killed the Li family and issued new laws, everyone suddenly realized that perhaps they hated not the Ming Dynasty, but the war.
If there were no Later Li Dynasty, life would have been much better under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
The people of the whole city ran around and told each other, conveying three rules of the Ming Dynasty.
At first, some people didn't believe it, but when they saw that the Ming army really began to investigate the nobles and measure the land, they finally realized that the Ming army that they had heard before was extremely vicious, like the evil ghosts in hell, was just a lie made up by the nobles!
Since then, the only trace of their nostalgia for the Li dynasty has disappeared.
After Zhang Fu finished all this, he left Qian Guo Duke Mu Bin to take charge of Shenglong, and he brought the Champa royal family Mahagui and Princess Xuanzhen to Qinghua City to meet with Zhu Qiyu.
Qinghua City is much worse than Shenglong City. Most of the houses are burned and need to be rebuilt.
Fortunately, some people in the army knew how to burn lime and make cement, so they organized local people to open mountains and log wood, and build cement workshops. For a moment, the entire Qinghua City was building a large-scale construction.
Here, the best preserved one is the palace. The Champa king Mahabharya, who was captured by the Annan people, was locked up in the palace.
That night, Li Sicheng and his son were in a hurry to escape, and had no time to take care of the fact that there was a prisoner here. The subordinates did not receive a clear order and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so Mahabharya escaped.
However, when the Ming army found him, he had been imprisoned for three days and was almost starving to death...
Mahabharya didn't know what was going on outside, so he heard a loud noise like thunder, and then the fire surged into the sky. The fire burned for two days and two nights, and the palace was in chaos, and all the guards at his door disappeared.
It was not until the third day that when he learned that it was King Hui of the Ming Dynasty who personally led his troops to rescue him, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and promoted its prestige to the outside world. Among the small foreign countries surrounding the Yuan Dynasty, Chameng was the first to recognize the Ming regime and take the initiative to surrender.
This time, Annan captured the city. Before Mahabharya was defeated, he sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help many times, but they all fell into the sea. It was thought that they were intercepted and killed by the Annan people halfway.
Over the past year he was imprisoned, he has been looking forward to countless times that one day he will be able to get out of here.
However, time passed day by day, from the beginning of looking forward to gradually losing hope, I thought I would die, but I didn’t expect that the Ming army would come!
Tianyou Cham, Daming did not forget this little brother thousands of miles away!
Zhu Qiyu ordered people to invite Mahabharata to the main hall, but did not talk about the war, but asked about the customs and customs of Champa City and other matters.
Mahabharya was flattered, and answered questions and
With all his promise, Chameng will definitely surrender to the Ming Dynasty forever, and he is willing to be the leader of the horse.
Just three days later, the news of the destruction of Shenglong City came. A few days later, Zhang Fu, with Mahagui, Princess Xuanzhen and others, came to Qinghua.
When the two saw the old king, they were so excited that they could not express their feelings.
The three of them met again after a long separation, as if they were a different life, so naturally there was a lot to say. Zhu Qiyu temporarily placed the person in a separate courtyard, and then called Fan Jinglong, the Minister of War, and Pan Peng, the Minister of Rites.
Since surrendering, these two people have shown great diligence, especially Fan Jinglong, who gets up early and goes to bed late every day, takes people to clean the streets, and has dealt with tens of thousands of dead bodies.
Pan Peng was not idle either. As the Minister of Rites in Annan, he was in charge of etiquette and law, and at this time he had a place to use his skills.
What he had to do every day was to promote the benevolence and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty and the crimes of the Later Li Dynasty. It summed up in one sentence: Annan's transformation into Jiaozhi was to follow the will of heaven.
"Sir Fan Jinglong, come to see Your Highness!"
"Sir Pan Peng, please come to your highness!"
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Although the two stood up, they bent down and asked, "What are your instructions?"
Zhu Qiyu said, "You two bring a team of people to escort the King of Chameng back to the country."
Fan Jinglong looked overjoyed and bowed, "Don't worry, your highness, just leave this matter to the official, and I guarantee that the person will be sent back smoothly!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Pan Peng and said, "You were in charge of Annan's Ministry of Rites. You went to Chameng and handed over this letter of national letter to the current Chameng King. He told him that the Ming Dynasty promised Chameng had done what he had promised. Now it is Chameng that it should fulfill his promise."
Pan Peng bowed slowly and said, "Abide by Your Highness's decree!"
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "If someone asks you, you will say that you are an official of the Ming Dynasty, do you understand?"
The two looked at each other and became excited at the same time.
Annan surrendered generals and Ming officials have two completely different identities.
If you arrive in Champa, if you hear that you are an Annan surrendered general, you will definitely despise and even be hostile.
However, it would be completely different to say that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty and was appointed by His Highness King Hui!
The other party must be delicious and serve, and they must give more gold and silver.
It seems that the efforts of this period have not been in vain and will be developed in the future!
The two of them were so energetic that they walked out of the hall.
A figure flashed behind the screen, Zhang Fu walked over, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did Your Highness send Annan people to escort?"
Zhu Qiyu said thoughtfully: "The same day as the same day is not necessarily a good thing."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. The old minister has brought enough troops. I wish his little King Champa would not dare to act rashly!"
However, Zhang Fu looked dissatisfied and seemed to not take Chameng seriously.
