Chapter 224 The Java King's Greed
The powerful families who rebelled in the two places never expected that they would be wiped out as soon as they moved.
And they were wiped out so cleanly that they didn't even have a chance to escape.
In the past, because of the aristocratic families on both sides of the north and south, more and more local men were gathered to make troubles, which made those who married their daughters to Song people panic.
They were afraid that these powerful families would really drive away the Song people, and their family's fate would be extremely tragic.
As a result, as soon as this group of people started, in just one night, more soldiers gathered on the two sides than the original Li Dynasty and Champa combined, were wiped out by the Song army!
There are more than 50 people in the two places together, and they were wiped out by the Song people in just one night!
Now, whether it was the people in Annan or Champa, they all understood that the strength of the Song army was definitely not something they could contend with.
Even Annan and Champa were destroyed by the Song army before.
The reason why it took several months is because the troops of Annan and Champa were scattered in various places.
If people were gathered in one place like Li Yufei and Hu Songcai, the result would probably be the same as this time, and it would all be over in one night.
After this incident, people in these two places became completely honest all of a sudden, and they no longer cared about other things. They all only cared about their own family affairs, and didn't care about other things.
Xiao Qi was very satisfied with the behavior of the people in the two places after this incident.
From then on, as long as the officials stationed here by the Song Dynasty don't do any stupid things that anger people and complain, these people will definitely live like this in Anshun.
Then his own plan will be successful. In a few decades, the number of Song people born here will exceed the number of natives born here, and then this land will completely become the Great Song Dynasty.
But Xiao Qi also knows the truth of striking while the iron is hot.
He had long wanted to merge Annan and Champa together to facilitate management.
However, due to the opposition of many powerful families here, Xiao Qi did not enforce it in order not to plan conflicts.
Now that the wealthy families who strongly opposed it at the beginning have all been wiped out, Xiao Qi also took the opportunity to issue an announcement.
It probably means that Annan and Champa are gone now, and these two places are now the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Because the wealthy clan headed by Annan Li Yufei and Zhancheng Hu Songcai gathered together for some chaos, King Zhenbei ordered that Annan and Champa be merged into Annan Champa Province.
The Annan Champo Protectorate was set up here. From now on, the people here will be the people of the Song Dynasty. In the future, when the imperial decree comes down and new officials of the Protectorate are appointed, everything will be done in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, who would dare to oppose it? The group of people who opposed it most fiercely were all arrested and killed because of the rebellion.
Now whoever wants to object again, they themselves will feel that the guy who opposes wants to rebel.
Not long after this announcement was posted, Annan and Champa were smoothly merged into one place.
The places where the two countries were originally handed over have become the junctions of various states and counties. The places where the two places often clashed because of border disputes have no longer used force.
Quarreling and wanting to assign this place to one's own state and county is definitely inevitable, but now this is no longer a national border, and speaking of which, the two sides have become their own people, and everyone will no longer be endless.
Even if they get into a fight in a hurry, they no longer have to kill each other as before.
The various matters in Annan Champa Province were quickly on the right track, and everything went very smoothly.
Those people who strongly opposed it in the past died because of this incident, and even a few others who had opinions in their hearts did not dare to speak out, while most of the people just lived their lives honestly.
For these people, as long as I can live in peace and stability, it doesn't matter who controls this place, and it will be fine if I can feed my family and stop worrying all day long.
In addition, those guys who like to make troubles have been wiped out, and those who are alive have been sent to mining, and most of the rest are people who just want to live a stable life.
Soon the memorial table for the establishment of the Annan Champa Province was approved by the court, and Zhao Shen, as usual, handed over the right to appoint the highest official of the Annan Champa Protectorate here to Xiao Qi.
Zhao Shen knew very well that Annan Zhanpo's guard house was too far away, and none of the ministers wanted to go there, and even if he sent people there, everything over there was in the hands of Chang Shengying, and it was not a good idea to appoint someone to go there. good idea.
The emperor could think about it, and Xiao Qi also understood the court's concerns, so after appointing the first highest official of the Annan Champa Protectorate, the first requirement for him was to ensure that taxes and taxes were handed over to the court early every year without neglect.
The Annan Champa province newly added to the territory of the Song Dynasty soon entered a state of rapid production recovery.
Food can be grown here in all seasons. As long as there is no war, all kinds of production should not resume too quickly.
Moreover, the people of the Great Song Dynasty who moved here from the south were pleasantly surprised to find that not only can everyone get their own land when they come here, but also many local women want to marry them.
This is simply the treatment that only princes and princes' children could enjoy in the Song Dynasty!
These people have begged someone who can write to help them write letters to their relatives at home. In the letters, the benefits of coming here and the benefits of being able to grow food in all seasons here are exaggerated, and they strongly persuade their relatives to come.
In the past few years, because of the wealth of the people in the Song Dynasty, the population has increased a lot. In addition, the imperial court later issued a reward of money for giving birth to a child, and the population of the people in the Song Dynasty has grown rapidly.
These people who migrated to the south who arrived here earlier passed back the living conditions here, and spread it.
Those who did not intend to move to the south were all moved. Not only would they be given houses and land when they arrived there, but more importantly, those who had no daughter-in-law would be able to find a wife soon after arriving there.
What envied them the most was that the women there were very hardworking. King Zhenbei worried that the men of Song Dynasty would become lazy because they married those hardworking local women, so he ordered the men of Song Dynasty to work in the fields every year no less than his wives!
Although the women in Song Dynasty are also very hardworking, they are willing to do all the farm work at home, and there are not many people who are not angry when they see men idle at home!
As a result, there was a second upsurge of southward migration in various parts of the Song Dynasty, and a large number of young and strong people of the Song Dynasty came to the Annan Champa Province to settle down again.
Xiao Qi was also very happy about the arrival of these young and strong, after all there were many young and strong, and he trained these people in the gathering place in his spare time.
Not to mention letting them go into battle to kill the enemy, at least to guard their gathering place without any accidents, there will be no problems at all.
In this way, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion will have no worries and can free up their hands to do more things.
With the large ships moving south from the Annan Champa Province to the south of the Annan Champa Province, and the large ships from the Annan Champa Province transporting grain, special products and minerals to the Song Dynasty, the Annan Champa Province naturally formed three large ports. town.
The rapid development of port towns here has also attracted merchants from the Song Dynasty to set up their own business branches in these three ports.
Seeing these three ports growing like a snowball, Xiao Qi also quickly ordered the navy to dispatch some soldiers and ships to these three ports, and temporarily set up the customs here.
This thing is a big income. If you don't set the rules early, once those businessmen get used to not paying customs duties, you will encounter great resistance if you set the rules again.
For this reason, Xiao Qi also transferred the copy and wrote a memorandum to Zhao Shen, asking his father-in-law to set up customs in all the ports established in the Song Dynasty to collect customs clearance fees for merchant ships.
Of course Zhao Shen understood the importance of commercial taxation, so he immediately appointed tax officials from these ports.
One thing after another was handled in an orderly manner by Xiao Qi. Seeing that the affairs in Annan Champa province were almost finished, it only needed to run for a while, and everything would become more secure.
Qin Tu in the south suddenly sent someone to report that according to Xiao Qi's arrangement, he had already led the army and captured the entire peninsula here.
The people here are still in peace, as long as you defeat the original ruler, they will completely obey you. For them, there is no country or country, and they believe in obeying the strong.
However, at the end of the letter, Qin Tu pleaded guilty to Xiao Qi and angrily asked for instructions, hoping that Xiao Qi would allow him to lead troops to conquer Java.
Because after Qin Tu occupied the entire peninsula according to Xiao Qi's order, he found that there were many islands in the south. Thinking about what Xiao Qi said before, mineral resources can be found on many islands.
He ordered his subordinates to take a lot of prospecting craftsmen to take a boat to those small islands to search for any minerals.
But within a few days, these teams that went to the island to explore minerals were ambushed by the Javanese army, and more than a hundred soldiers and exploration craftsmen who landed on the island were killed.
If it wasn't for a soldier who climbed up the mast to check the sails on the tall ship in the distance, with good eyesight, and found someone fighting over there, all the more than 300 people would have been killed there.
After receiving the warning, the soldiers on the building boat immediately rushed to reinforce the island in a small boat. The Javanese were repelled, and after rescuing the dead and wounded soldiers on the island, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion immediately attacked the island in a large boat.
The Javanese army on the island was defeated, and all the warships on which the Javanese fled to the ship were sunk.
According to the captives, it was the monarch of Java who learned that the Song Dynasty had sent tens of thousands of people here. They felt that the Song Dynasty was far away. As long as they killed all these tens of thousands of people, their huge warships would belong to Java.
Originally, they wanted to gather a large number of manpower to raid Qin Tu's main force. Unexpectedly, the first batch of Javanese troops secretly lurked on the island this time. When they saw the Song army suddenly landing on the island, they thought their whereabouts were exposed.
So he took 2000 of his men to ambush the less than [-] Song troops.
But what they didn't expect was that although these Song troops only had more than 300 people, there were still about [-] of them unarmed.
But when they fought, they took advantage of the sneak attack, and almost three or four of them died in the subsequent battle before they could kill a Song army.
Although more than 100 of these Song people were killed by them, and the remaining 200 people were injured to some extent, but the 2000 people on their side were killed by more than [-] people and nearly [-] were injured.
Just when they were in a dilemma surrounding the more than 200 Song people, hundreds of Song troops landed from those large ships, and they had to retreat to the other side of the island.
Then the Song army who got the news came in large numbers and killed all the Javanese army on the island, and all the survivors boarded the boat and fled into the sea, and then died in the sea with the boat.
Qin Tu asked Xiao Qi to allow him to lead the army to attack the big island not far from the peninsula that has gathered 10,000+ Javanese troops.
Xiao Qi didn't need to look at the map to know that what Qin Tu was talking about was Sumatra, and Java was an archipelagic country known as the country of a thousand islands.
But Xiao Qi doesn't like people in this country very much. These people are very arrogant and extremely cruel to the weak, and they can't wait to kneel and talk all day long to the powerful.
This kind of nation is very strange. The more you talk to him, the more he dances with you. If you don’t say anything, you will be beaten violently. You act cute to please me.
Xiao Qi knows that there are too many islands in this country, and if you want to fight in such a country, you need more people, because you have to sort out all those islands, find out and kill all the enemies who are hiding.
If there are too many people to transport, a large number of warships will be needed to transport soldiers back and forth.
For this reason, Xiao Qi ordered Lin Zheng to leave some guards here, and distributed weapons to the young men who moved south in the Song Dynasty, and asked people to train them every day.
Let these people fully protect the place where the Song people gathered, and other places only need to station enough soldiers to maintain law and order.
Because now the various industries in Annan Champa Province have entered the right track, and they have started normal production, and their lives are getting better and better. No one wants to make troubles at all.
This made Lin Zheng leave behind 5 cavalry and [-] infantry, the other [-] cavalry, [-] musketeers and [-] infantry. These [-] people were all taken by him to find Qin. Tu went to teach Java a lesson together.
Long Yongsheng's navy was also recalled by Xiao Qi, and he gave Long Yongsheng a death order, once Lin Zheng and Qin Tu started fighting with the people of Java.
He, Long Yongsheng, must ensure that not a single Javanese battleship can float in the surrounding sea!
Long Yongsheng, who received this military order, was overjoyed.
It's business!
He, the officer of the Changsheng Battalion Navy, is now almost becoming the transportation captain of the Changsheng Battalion Army, and he only transports these soldiers from the Changsheng Battalion or the Valiant Army to fight every day.
They can only float on the sea and watch it for their eyes.
There is no way, the navy of the Great Song Changsheng Battalion in this world is too good, and there is no navy that can match this fleet.
Many navies from other countries who were originally aggressive immediately knelt down after seeing the giant warships and huge fleets of the Song Dynasty, and did not give you a chance to start a war at all.
After receiving Xiao Qi's order to kill the Javanese navy warships this time, Long Yongsheng found the officers of each warship under his command.
He ordered these warships to bring enough gunpowder and cast iron bombs, and the commander said that a warship in Java is not allowed to float on the sea!
