Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 571 Layout Southeast
Outside Zichen Hall.

More than [-] envoys from the southeastern countries gathered together. They scattered in twos and threes, and some even glared at each other, obviously conflicting with each other.

A group of rookies played happily without the intervention of the tiger.

Especially Champa and Chenla.

The king of the Champa Kingdom had great ambitions, and he was unwilling to be content with a long and narrow territory, so he had certain fantasies about Chenla and Cochin.

However, due to the appearance of the Central Plains Army, the king of Champa, Paramisuravarman I, did not dare to look north, and gathered the power of the whole country to deal with the Khmer Empire of Chenla.

Chenla seems to be brilliant, but it is a silver-like pewter gun head. With its national strength, population and economy far superior to that of Champa, it did not take advantage of it.

At this moment, when I meet my enemies, I am extremely jealous.

But each other showed restraint and did not dare to take any radical actions.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Following the servant's call, the envoys from various countries who were waiting outside the Zichen Hall entered one by one.

These people are superior to others in their country, especially influenced by Tianzhu culture.Ninety-nine percent of the countries in the southeast believe in the caste system and are inherently superior to others.

But no matter what their status is, when facing Luo Youdu who sits high on the head, they all have to bow their heads and bow to salute: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

"Be flat!"

Luo Youdu waved his hand slightly and said, "Sit down."

Seeing everyone sitting down, Luo Youdu said: "I specially arranged the gathering for you today. You respect the imperial court as the suzerain, and I should also do my best for you. Lest you say that I have the name of the suzerain, but have nothing to do." The reality of the suzerain."

He took it for granted.

The envoys of the following countries couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and complained in their hearts.

They wished that Luo Youdu would not care about anything, just sit and collect money and tributes.

But it is obvious that the emperors of the Central Plains today are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not pay much attention to the southern region, and only received tribute in a symbolic sense.

But the emperor of the Central Plains in front of them formed a navy in the South China Sea, and also formed an army mainly composed of Yuemang people in Jiaozhi.

This amount of water and land is enough to destroy any country in the South China Sea.

Even though they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say more, and expressed their willingness to listen to the arrangements of His Majesty the Emperor.

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Vice King Li Nu, I heard that your king sent troops to seize Shangding of Chenla Kingdom? Is there such a thing?"

In addition to the king and prince, the southeastern countries also have the so-called deputy king, which means the king's deputy, and usually serves as the chief official of the border, with power second only to the king.

The name Li Yu is obviously to cater to the Central Plains, and he gave himself the name of the Central Plains.

He didn't dare to use Luo Youdu's Luo character as his surname. In order to show his nobility, he used the Li surname from the former Li Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu hurriedly explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not that I occupy the city and take the land of Chenla by force. It is really that Chenla has a great enmity with our country. The golden statue of Goddess Pomoo. Champa attacking Chenla is only to avenge shame, and has no other meaning.”

"Bullshit!"

Napai Jilang, the prince of Chenla, shouted angrily: "It is obvious that you are unreasonable and attacked our country when we took advantage of the internal turmoil in Chenla on our waterway. Father decided to fight back..."

"All right!"

Luo Youdu took a picture.

Both sides fell silent immediately.

Luo Youdu said: "If you go back to the past like this, do you want to talk about the hatred to 500 years ago? It really can't be like this, I will set aside a piece of land for you, let your master kill in a fair way, and see who kills more and who kills more. Kill ruthlessly, put an end to the enmity, and talk about it calmly?"

Li Yu and Napai Jilang all shrank their heads, not daring to speak.

Luo Youdu continued: "Let's do this, Shangding is the territory of Chenla, so don't be greedy for Champa, and return Shangding to Chenla. As for the golden statue of Goddess Pokavadi, since it is the national treasure of Champa, it should be Own all of Champa."

He glanced at Pai Jilang and Ge Anjingli.

Na Pai Jilang immediately said: "After returning to the country, the foreign minister immediately returned the golden statue of Goddess Pokavadi to Champa."

Luo Youdu nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I respect your customs, and will give you a statue of the goddess Pokavadi for you to worship."

Pai Jilang and Ge Anjingli were overjoyed.

Luo Youdu put a lot of effort into this conference, and he knows the southeastern countries like the back of his hand, and they also fully understand the intricate relationship between them.

His purpose is to make the southeastern countries the granary of the Central Plains.

With the soldiers and the grievances in the war, it is better to farm the land peacefully and then sell it to the court.

He sorted out the grievances of all parties, and then made a fair arrangement.

Not to mention that everyone agrees, but it is also in line with the public's psychology, and has not encountered any resistance.

Of course, the main reason is still not dare.

Just like the death of Sri Buddha, that is, the later Three Buddhas.

Srivijaya is a maritime power that believes in Mahayana Buddhism. Its sphere of influence includes most of the Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands, and it controls the key points of various waterways.

As an old powerful country in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka has great influence in the south. Although its strength has declined over the years, it still controls many small countries around it as the suzerain country.

This is something Luo Youdu cannot tolerate, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Within the sphere of influence of the Central Plains court's strength, there can only be one boss.

Only one suzerain is allowed.

Luni, Pahang, and Shanma ordered to terminate their relationship with the suzerain state of Sri Buddha, and instead paid tribute to the imperial court.

Without the South China Sea Navy, Sri Lanka would never have agreed to such an extremely excessive condition for them.

However, the existence of the South China Sea Marines made Sri Buddha swallow it even if his teeth were broken.

The South China Sea Navy was newly built not long ago, but the sailors are not newly recruited novices, but formed by the elite of the Jiangnan Navy, Wuyue Navy, Quanzhang Navy, and Nanhan Navy. They are all experienced veterans with powerful immediate combat power.

Perhaps the Central Plains navy against Shanglin Renzhao was a little inadequate, but bullying those so-called navy in Southeast Asia was like adults beating their sons.

Sri Buddha had a formidable enemy called East Java, which was surrounded by the sea and often pretended to be pirates to attack Southeast Asian countries.

They were the first battle of the South China Sea Navy. When the strong ship rushed, they were directly buried in the sea.

Because the enemy is too weak, the South China Sea Navy didn't even report it, they just thought it was an ordinary pirate, and they just rewarded them internally.

Luo Youdu didn't know such a thing until the death of Sri Lankan King Charentra wrote a letter of thanks.

Because of this, Sri Buddha passed away and realized the power of the South China Sea Navy, so he didn't dare to say more.

Luo Youdu looked at Zhu Boyi, the envoy of Sri Buddha's death, and said: "Your country is being harassed by pirates, and I order the Hainan Navy to pay more attention. It's just that the giant port of your country is far away from the imperial court Hainan Island, and it is impossible to rescue it in time. How about this , you rent a place to rest and station with our South China Sea Navy at the coastal port, so that our South China Sea Navy can patrol back and forth. Similarly, you may build a water port between us and the South China Sea port for patrolling back and forth."

He said righteously: "The countries in the South China Sea also have the strength to maintain the stability of the South China Sea with the death of Sri Buddha, what does your envoy think?"
