Chapter 312 Here Comes the Complaint

"Well, the Ming Dynasty has not yet been revived, and we still need to work hard. It is not too late to leave our passionate feelings until we are old."

Seeing that the most handsome man under his command was about to cry, Hong Tao quickly picked up the notebook and ended the sensational drama.The emotions of subordinates do need to be mobilized and vented, but not too much.The emperor's rule has never been based on warmth, but on sufficient interests and hard strength.

This sight made Hong Tao fascinated.No wonder Yuan Keli would recommend him face to face. Ruan Xiangjiang is indeed talented. Not only does he write well, but his narrative ability is also first-rate.In just a thousand words, the past and present life of the Champa Kingdom can be clearly described. At the same time, it also did not forget to mention its relations with neighboring countries, covering all aspects.

The Champa Kingdom is gone!When Yongle Emperor Zhu Di sent troops to capture Annan and change it to Jiaozhi Chengxuanzhengshi, the king of Champa saw an opportunity and sent his troops northward to recapture the land previously occupied by the Hu Dynasty in Annan.

I wanted to take advantage of the power of the tiger, but I didn't expect that the Chief Envoy of Cochin only lasted for more than 20 years and was abandoned by the Ming Dynasty. Le Li established the Later Le Dynasty, and the first one to attack was the Champa State.

The two sides fought back and forth for decades. In the sixth year of Chenghua (1470), Li Shengzong went on a personal expedition and conquered Vijaya, the capital of the Champa Kingdom, and captured Panluo Chaquan, the king of Champa.

However, the living area of ​​the Cham people at this time was relatively south, with complex terrain and inconvenient transportation.In order to be more conducive to long-term rule, Le Shengzong adopted the method of supporting puppets and divided the territory of the Cham people into three parts, namely Bin Tong Long, Hua Ying, and Nan Pian, and established autonomous Cham chieftains respectively, and sent officials to the Le Dynasty to supervise.

The location of these three vassal states was roughly in the area south of Quy Nhon City and east of Ho Chi Minh City in later Vietnam.The southernmost area did not belong to Annan at this time, nor did it belong to the Champa State, but the territory of the Khmer people, which was later known as Cambodia.It was previously occupied by the Angkor Dynasty and is now ruled by the Siam Dynasty.

The leader of the Cham people whom Ruan Xiangjiang suggested to Yuan Keli to visit was called Ximahala, who was the chieftain of Bin Tonglong.Why not go to Huaying and Nanpan's chieftain to resist together?Ruan Xiangjiang also wrote that Hua Ying and Nan Pian were relatively close to Hue City and had been assimilated by the Ruan family, so their control was relatively strict.

Bintonglong is located on the border with long distances and inconvenient transportation, so it has slightly more autonomy.In addition, the Siamese in the west have been peeping eastward. The two sides have been having friction for more than ten years, and Simahara is in urgent need of assistance no matter what his thoughts are.

What moved Hong Tao most was not Ruan Xiangjiang's literary skills, but his vision.At the end of the entire narrative, there is a summary of more than 200 words. From the changes in the southern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty in recent years to the raid on Annan, I have observed some signs and guessed some of the development momentum.

"...Ask the Jin Yiwei to send my handwriting to Tianjin Guard, and take the staff to Haiyang Island to bring this person into the palace. I want to ask him face to face." It took a while for Hong Tao to slowly close the small book and turn his head. He gave some instructions to Wang Chengen.

Ruan Xiangjiang described in detail the rise and fall of the Champa Kingdom and its current situation, as well as the situation of neighboring countries Chenla and Siam. Combined with the archives of historical materials from the Ministry of Rites, the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Hanlin Academy, he finally put this part in his mind The missing historical gaps have been filled.

Whether it is 100% correct or not is not very important. Judging from cross-verification from several parties, the main context should still be reliable.This is enough. Hong Tao does not want to study the detailed history of Southeast Asian countries. It is enough to have a general understanding so that he can focus when formulating policies.

As a provider of information, Ruan Xiangjiang naturally has merit, and he should be able to play more roles in communicating with the Cham people.How effective it is can only be determined by having a face-to-face conversation. "You have been on this journey for more than a few months, and it's time for you, Minister Li, to rest. I will give you two months to go home and have a look. There is no need to refuse. This is an imperial decree. Not only do you have to go home, but you also have to return home in a glorious and safe manner. Take a seat. My carriage is leaving, and I will be escorted by the royal guards!"

This sentence was addressed to Yuan Keli. Negotiations with the Champa people were handled by the naval staff, and there was no need for the governor to personally come forward for the time being.Taking this opportunity to give him a holiday, Yuan Keli has not been home for more than three years since he became the Navy Governor.

It cannot be said that everyone works thousands of miles to become an official just for wealth, but it cannot be said that everyone does not want anything.If you don't let greedy people make a fortune, and if you don't let others stand out, you will indeed lose some motivation to study hard.

Another layer of meaning is protection.Calculating the time, Annan's envoy should come to the Ming Dynasty to file a complaint. There is a high probability that the courtiers will use it as an excuse to impeach him.They have no good way to deal with the emperor, but they will not show mercy when trying to run against Yuan Keli.Running away the naval governor would also seriously weaken the imperial power.

If Yuan Keli stayed in the capital or Tianjin Guards, he would inevitably be affected by the wave of impeachments. If someone said anything about his weakness, and he would resign out of anger to avoid suspicion, wouldn't his work be in vain?Although this possibility is very small, it cannot be taken lightly and must be nipped in the bud.

At the end of July, it was worse than Hong Tao expected. Not only did the Annan people's petition arrive in the capital, but also three envoys from the Annan Li Dynasty came together.What's interesting is that they actually entered Beijing by sea on a navy logistics ship, and the official accompanying them to Beijing turned out to be Hu Guifang, the political envoy to the left in Guangdong.

For an official who is firmly opposed to opening up the sea and building sea-going ships to suddenly abandon his previous suspicion and take the initiative to use sea-going ships as a means of transportation for long-distance travel shows how anxious he is, to the point where he has no regard for face and life and death.

As for whether there was any problem with foreign officials entering the capital without being summoned, the emperor really couldn't convict him this time because it was allowed by the Ministry of Personnel.Not only Hu Guifang is going to Beijing, but also officials from other places who have passed the examinations of governors and inspectors and are in remote areas with inconvenient transportation, the remaining officials from other places are also going to Beijing. The triennial foreign inspection has just begun.

Is it really a coincidence?Hong Tao refused to believe it until his death.The fact that Hu Guifang brought the Annan envoy to Beijing this time must have a tacit understanding with certain forces in the DPRK, and a storm to overthrow Yuan is about to take place.

The reason why Hong Tao was able to repeatedly win in battles with the court officials was not based on political wisdom but on experience and experience.With the experience of being an emperor, although the dynasties are different, the routines are similar.

With the experience of later generations in the news, forums, and books, most routines have lost their concealment, and can be keenly detected as long as they show the slightest signs.

Know the enemy before you, know yourself and the enemy, understand human nature, have rich bargaining chips, hold military power, and have all the eyes. With these powerful weapons, Hong Tao is already in an invincible position.How to win, how much to win, and what effect you want to achieve should be carefully considered.
