Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

On board the five-tooth battleship Lu Guogong.

"So, what are the eight methods... methods..."

In the cabin of the battleship, Hou Junji looked at the map hanging on the wall and was talking to a tanned man. At this time, he could not remember the name.

Fortunately, the dark-skinned person was very considerate and added:

"Bafa Varman, His Royal Highness."

Nodding, Hou Junji pinched his beard and frowned:

"So, this Bafa was originally the prince of Funan Kingdom, but he became the head of Zhenla Kingdom by marrying the princess of Zhenla Kingdom?"

"It is exactly what the Duke said, absolutely correct, Your Highness."

Hou Junji nodded, and then continued to try to sort out the relationships between the characters in these Southeast Asian countries:

"Last year, the leader of Funan Kingdom passed away, so Bafa, who has already become the leader of Zhenla Kingdom, wants to be the co-leader of the two countries?"

"not only that."

The dark-skinned man added:

"Funan Kingdom has a crown prince, but Nabafavarman relied on the strong military strength of Chenla Kingdom and wanted to seize the throne by force. The war is still going on."

"Strong military strength?"

Hou Junji suddenly became interested:

"How many troops and horses are there?"

The dark-skinned man over there was suddenly a little embarrassed. Hou Junji suddenly understood. He had forgotten that this place was a barren land, and he was not familiar with elegant language and arithmetic. Therefore, these extremely ordinary questions became a joke in this man's ears. problem.

Fortunately, after getting along with each other for a long time, there are other solutions to this problem:

"Wu Ba, does the Zhenla Kingdom have more troops than my fleet?"

Wu Ba, who had dark skin, breathed a sigh of relief. After careful reflection, he said with certainty: "There are probably as many as His Royal Highness's four fleets."

My own fleet consists of ten ships with more than 900 men. Four fleets also means about 4,000 soldiers and horses?

Even if you add the elephant soldiers unique to the Indochina Peninsula, more than 4,000 infantry and more than ten elephants, such a force...

Hou Junji, Duke of Lu State of the Tang Dynasty and General of the Right Guards, couldn't help but sigh and gave his own evaluation: He is really weak.

If it were in the past, this kind of troops would not be taken seriously by him at all, unless they were elite soldiers.

But here, this kind of troops can be said to be powerful, and they are even more capable of bullying the weak with no scruples.

Recalling that due to Guang Mu's confession, he had no choice but to leave Chang'an, recruit hundreds of bad people and nine hundred strong disciples, and go south together, it seems so far away that it happened several years ago.

After crossing the sea to Yizhou, he learned how to maneuver a ship, read the wind and observe the stars, and then commandeered ten warships, one large, nine small, and ten. As promised to Li Shimin, Hou Junji began to explore Nanyang.

The terrain on the maps of later generations was indeed carefully drawn, but how big was the land in Nanyang? How are the folk customs? What is abundant in it? I don't know, etc.

After the fleet set sail, they used Zhuya as a rest and supply point, and then continued their steady exploration southward.

If we talk about the Nanyang Economic Strategy, the most important one is undoubtedly Champa Rice, which has been mentioned many times by later generations and is dear to His Majesty's heart.

But this mission encountered difficulties at the beginning. No matter whether it was inquiring in Jiaozhou or in Zhuya, the place Champa could not be found.

Helpless, Hou Junji could only lead his fleet to leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty and explore the Linyi Kingdom south of Jiaozhou.

Because he had to travel through Southeast Asia, Hou Junji made a lot of contributions to the history of this place.

Linyi State originally belonged to Rinan County in the Han Dynasty, formerly known as Xianglin County. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, some famous districts started to rebel and established themselves as kings of Linyi. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, China was dark, and this despicable Linyi State also went north to invade frequently.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty had strong military virtue and sent the governor of Jiaozhou to conquer Linyi, forcing him to become a vassal and pay tribute. During the Sui Dynasty, Liu Fang conquered again, destroyed his country and established Linyi County. After the death of the Sui Dynasty, this place was lost to this day.

In view of this history, Hou Junji came with the attitude of good negotiation at the beginning. As long as he found out the news about Chamchendao, everything would be easy to talk about.

But it's a pity...

Hou Junji, who went there lightly to show his sincerity, and Linyi natives who were arrogant and thought that the Tang people were afraid.

In the end, both parties used blood as ink on the beach to outline a scene like the setting sun of blood.

All the disciples under his command were soldiers of the government. They knew how to form formations and were invincible in frontal attacks.

The bad guys from Chang'an jump easily into formations and are best at protecting themselves from attacks. Although they are not good at frontal combat, they are particularly good at attacking and plundering formations.

The combined force of the two forces caused the natives to flee upon hearing the wind.

This battle made Hou Junji think deeply: Compared with the dialect, it seems that Tang Hengdao's speech is more effective.

It was also because of the power of this battle that the people in Linyi who respected the Chinese system and studied the elegant language of the Central Plains knew that the Central Plains China had once again set its sights here, so there was an undercurrent surging in this small land.

After all, if you really think about it, this place has been ruled by the Han Dynasty for nearly 400 years. Although it has been independent from Xia, it has been another 200 years from Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. In the eyes of the natives who uphold the Chinese orthodoxy, the noble talents of Linyi State at this time are actually Rebellious ministers and traitors.

Among them, the radical ones even directly surrendered to Hou Junji and his party, volunteering to serve as guides.

It was under such circumstances that Wu Ba got acquainted with Hou Junji.

After the negotiation with Lin Yiguo failed, Hou Junji simply spoke with a horizontal sword and declared with a ship.

According to the address provided by Wu Ba, a local, Hou Junji personally led his athletes to frequently raid the places where the nobles of Linyi State were located offshore. After looting several times, they retreated leisurely.

In the future, this place will inevitably be incorporated into the Han Dynasty. Many of these self-proclaimed people have been taught by the Tang Dynasty warriors. Hou Junji does not want to waste more time here.

The wealth is self-rewarding, and Lin Yiguo's intelligence is sent to Zhuya along with the rice seeds. Officials there will rush it to Chang'an. The rest of the matter is not what Hou Junji needs to worry about.

Continuing to travel south, Hou Junji planned to visit the depression at the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula, but he did not expect that after the explanation of the local Wu Ba, they seemed to have just happened to encounter the annexation of the two countries in Nanyang.

Hou Junji woke up from his memories, recalled what Wu Ba had just said, and couldn't help but mutter:

"This Bafa is also dissatisfied. It is not enough for him to become the king of the country by virtue of his position as prince consort. He actually wants to attack his brother without any regard for flesh and blood!"

"No, how can we just sit idly by and ignore such injustices?"

Wu Ba's eyes were filled with eagerness.

Although he still bears the Han surname, his mother separated and his father died young. His memories of China are only the awkward Xia dialect taught by his father when he was young, and the somewhat faded stories he was told.

Among those stories that are incompatible with Lin Yi's country, benevolent and righteous people act according to "reason", and knights and martyrs sacrifice their lives for "righteousness".

Compared with them, the conduct principles of the nobles of Linyi Kingdom were as low as dust on the soles of their feet.

In the Duke of Tang Dynasty in front of him, Wu Ba seemed to see the people in the stories his father told him when he was a child, coming from fantasy to reality.

So Wu Ba no longer hesitated, stepped forward and asked for orders loudly:

"Wuba, Linyi County, is willing to be a pioneer for the Duke of our country, and is willing to die for our Tang Dynasty!"
