Chapter 133 Homeland
Three days later, a group of Chammen came to the dock with various treasures to pay homage to Wenshen. The leader was wearing the Song Dynasty official uniform and stood among the Chammen in strange costumes, which looked particularly eye-catching. Wenshen was very surprised at this, so he asked, "Who are you? Why are you wearing the Song Dynasty official uniform?"
"The Xiaguan Pusadass, this official uniform was given by the emperor of the Shang Kingdom during the tribute a few years ago."
"So that's how it is." Wenshen felt that the Song Dynasty was like the United States in later generations, with one word being a bull. Whether it is a system or a commodity, it is a popular target. Since it is a superpower, it should have the style of a superpower, so he said seriously: "Let's talk about your conditions."
Pusadasulga thought: "The treasures of the land occupied belong to the Lord, we Champa just need the land occupied."
"Hmph"
Wen Shen snorted coldly and said loudly: "You have good plans. The land in Annan is originally owned by our Song Dynasty. Regarding the issue of land ownership, you will not worry about it. All the land occupied belongs to us."
Pusadass thought he knew some history, and knew that Annan was independent from the Shangguo a hundred years ago, so Zhan Po could not possess Annan very cheaply. So he didn't make any arguments, but just bowed and said, "My lord is very honest. I don't know what arrangements are there for me, so I will do my best to help."
"I wonder how many troops you can send to assist?"
"Ten thousand!"
Wen Shen thought deeply for a moment and nodded, "I will prepare for you for three days. In three days, we will set out to attack Annan. Then we will sweep Annan in one go and occupy its capital Shenglong."
Pusadass looked up slightly, glanced at Wenshen, and said, "I wonder how many people the Lord Shangguo plans to send to attack Annan? Should he attack by water or land?"
"First by water and then by land!"
Hearing this, Pusadaser nodded slightly, feeling that there was no problem with this attack route, which was in line with the characteristics of Annan's narrow and long territory and relying on the sea, so he bowed and said, "Abide by the order! In three days, I will do my best to cooperate with the Shangguo army to attack Annan."
...
"Sir, let's not check their identities. Although those people have peerless ships, they may not be officials of the Song Dynasty. If they can't steal chickens and lose rice, it will be unsatisfactory." Back at the station, an accompanying official next to Pusadaser was very cautious about military operations at this time.
"You don't have to worry. Let me tell you the truth, even if there are no officials from the Song Dynasty, we will attack Annan. You know that Annan and Zhenla are a big trouble for us, especially Annan's desire to destroy me. Everyone knows that this attack on Annan was prepared by His Majesty the King, and it's better for these Song people to help, and it doesn't matter if they can't help. The main thing is to attract an ally to strengthen my power."
"I understand. But can we fight to the Annan capital in 10,000?"
Pusadass glanced at this man, looking like he was disappointed, and said loudly: "You have been with me for so many years. Why do you still ask such a naive question? When did I say I would attack Annan Capital? It was just a big dream of the Song people in spring and autumn. A few years ago, the Song people sent more than 100,000 troops but did not do anything about Annan, and they also lost their troops. Our goal is to pull out the nails on the north side of Dazhan Haikou."
"The master taught me the most." The man sweated coldly and bowed his head to blame himself.
"Okay, you don't have to blame yourself. Now you go and prepare all kinds of supplies and follow the army in three days."
...
In the next three days, Wenshen processed various cargoes on the ship and obtained more than 10,000 taels of gold and nearly one million taels of silver. There was also a batch of Chameng specialties, mainly ivory and spices.
Three days later, hundreds of Chameng ships gathered at Dazhan Haikou. The ships were full of sticks, knives and forks, and the roars of elephants were bare. From time to time, Wenshen glanced at the scene with a telescope, and sneered in his heart, thinking: "It's just this equipment, a group of fishermen."
"Committee, the equipment of the Chameng people is too poor. It is really hard to imagine that such an army can establish a kingdom. Do we need to help this group of southern barbarians attack another group of southern barbarians?" The Chao stood beside Wen Shen, with a look of disdain.
"Don't underestimate these people. Although these people are not well equipped, they all have fierce eyes. They think they are people who are fearless. They either clean up such people or don't provoke them. This time we mainly occupy Annan and restore our hometown. At that time, it will definitely be a great achievement, and maybe the official family will have a generous reward."
"The commission is right."
It was at this time that Pusadashe boarded the Dingyuan ship, and after the salute, he said, "Shangguo, the troops have been assembled. Are we going to set off?"
Wenshen looked at his watch and said at 8:00 a.m. He looked at the weather without clouds and the sea breeze blew northward. It was the time to go north, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Get up and get out!"
...
On the Dingyuan ship, Wenshen and the generals drank tea, while Pusadaser introduced the target to attack.
"I heard what you said, the city we are going to attack is Lurong County (now Hue, Vietnam). This name has a very Central Plains characteristic, maybe it is the name given to people from Central Plains before." Wen Shen took a sip and laughed.
Pusadass hurriedly smiled and said, "This seems to be the name given to Shangguo before. At that time, the entire Annan was still the Jiaozhi County of Shangguo."
"Then I should regain this place even more. Let me briefly talk about the situation in this city."
"This city is a large military camp, which is basically full of soldiers, mainly targeting us Champa. This city is built on the river, less than eight miles away from the sea..."
"Bali!" Wen Shen repeated unconsciously, thinking in his mind: "This distance is completely within the range of the naval gun, but only a bombardment is needed. It is estimated that the Annan army will almost die."
The Dynasty looked at Wen Shen who was confident and smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, we can occupy this city in just one hour."
Lurong County is less than a hundred miles away from Dazhanhaikou. The fleet took the sea route and reached the nearest beach in less than half a day.
According to the drone's reconnaissance, dozens of howitzers in Zhenyuan in Dingyuan adjusted their shooting angle and waited for Wenshen's shelling order. At this time, Wenshen sat on the deck with the intercom, watching the Chameng fleet slowly appear in sight in the distance. So he smiled at Pusadass beside him and said, "Your ship is indeed slower. Let's wait here for a long time."
"A small country has few people, and people are definitely not as good as the ships on the country." Pusadass smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic: "Sir, our fleet is here now. Do you think when will we attack?"
"You get off the boat and land now, wait a while, and go to the city to transport all the gold, silver and jewelry to me."
"ah!"
Pusadaser was shocked and thought to himself what an order was. The Annan army was all fools, and you were asking you to honestly plunder gold, silver and jewelry. Could it be that the Song people wanted to use us as pioneers and preserve their strength? It must be like this, the Song people were too cunning.
"You don't have to worry, just watch me kill him cleanly." After saying that, he picked up the walkie-talkie, adjusted the channel, and said gently: "Fire!"
"boom……"
Pusadaser was frightened by the sound of shelling and thought to himself: "What is this? Why is it so loud? Should the Song people test this thing to attack the Annan army?"
"Okay, don't think about it. You'd better arrange the soldiers to go to the county town to help me collect things."
...
A few hours later, Pusadass led more than 10,000 Chameng soldiers carrying large and small bags back to the beach and moved the collected gold, silver and jewelry to the Dingyuan ship. Then he trembled to Wenshen. His eyes were filled with fear at this time, and he whispered: "Sir, you have brought all the gold, silver and jewelry for you. I wonder what sir has to give."
"Good job." Wen Shin stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to be so scared, I don't eat people."
Pusadass felt chills in his heart and thought to himself: "You are thousands of times more terrifying than eating people. In less than 20,000 people, half of them were broken, and half were missing arms and legs. Is this what mortals can do? I really don't know what the rumbling sound is. If you can have some, you can't run around Southeast Asia."
"What should we be for the next goal?"
Hearing this, Pusadass felt aroused and said anxiously: "We should go to the capital of Annan, Shenglong, but I think it should be called Daluo City. Because Daluo City has been called for thousands of years, and the name of Shenglong was changed by King Annan decades ago."
"Okay, the next target is Daluo City. I will destroy the Annan rebels in one fell swoop and restore my homeland."
