Since you have decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty prince and want to obtain a piece of land, you should try your best to show your loyalty and value.

At Lin Deyuan's suggestion, Jayharivarman changed his Chinese name to himself.

"Zhe" is usually pronounced as dū.

But if it is related to Buddhism or Brahmanism, it must be chanting shé.

Therefore, he changed his surname to She and his name was She Yehe.

Zhu Kang praised this very much, and praised She Yehe's loyalty many times in front of the princes of Cham City.

As a result, the princes and princes of Chameng changed their names and surnames one after another.

Anyway, changing the name does not cost money, so I just ask Zhu Kang to give him a name directly. The Han people’s names are just used to deal with the Han people. They should do whatever they want in private, just treat it as a way to make the Ming Dynasty prince happy.

After two days of rest in Bintonglong, Zhu Kang announced his decision to conquer Zhenla.

She Yehe took out a simple map and said, "If your Highness wants to conquer Zhenla, don't get entangled with them in the forest. From here, you will conquer the towns along the way, killing their royal city Angkor, and force Zhenla's army to come and fight on its own. Otherwise, they will be entangled in the forest and mountains, dragging them until the hot rainy season comes."

Zhu Kang pointed to the Mekong Delta: "Will you not attack here?"

Sheyeho shook his head and said, "There are forests and swamps everywhere, there are only many indigenous villages, and there are no decent towns. We should go around the mountains further north."

The Mekong Delta was developed step by step from the upstream.

It was probably until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that towns gradually began to appear. After Zheng He voyage to the West, he developed a trade port.

The Mekong Delta was developed in a large scale, which was the result of the efforts of Vietnam and China to immigrate.

First, the Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty resettled immigrants and converted land that was relatively easy to reclaim as farmland. Then, the Qing army went south, and the Ming Dynasty's remnants fled overseas, turning difficult-to-reclaimed swamps and mangroves into fertile fields.

"How long will the rainy season in Zhenla come?" Zhu Kang asked.

She Yehe said: "Three to four months. It is hot and wet, and the soldiers are prone to illness."

Zhu Kang nodded: "Then we have to fight quickly."

She Yehe said: "I am willing to lead the army to be a vanguard and open the way!"

Zhu Kang was afraid of wasting time and said, "I'll give you another thousand elites."

Of course it is not "giving", but a thousand Ming troops work together to be pioneers.

She Yehe led the army the next day, and Zhu Kang led the army to follow.

Two days after entering Zhenla territory, She Yehe occupied a small town and asked Zhu Kang to send troops to station and transfer some subsequent food and supplies.

A merchant named Song Shunming often went to Zhenla for trade, and he followed Zhu Kang at any time.

When he came to the town to set up a camp, Song Shunming accompanied him and said:

"The powerful and rich people in Zhenla like to arrest or buy savages as slaves. The savages actually have land, know how to farm, and have to pay taxes. But they are not allowed to enter the city, or even approach the edge of the city."

"A young and powerful savage can sell dozens of pieces of cloth for the price. However, outsiders cannot catch them casually, and they must obtain permission from local nobles. They call their owner Batu and their mistress Miba, which is actually what their parents mean. Savages can marry by themselves, but they are not allowed to have sex with the rich."

"If there are Han people who are visiting the wealthy families in Zhenla, if they can't help sleeping in this family, the master will not sit with the Han people. If a slave escapes, he will be tied up like a dog when he catches him..."

This maritime merchant named Song Shunming actually has only a slight understanding of Zhen La.

The "savage" he mentioned was actually the "untouchables" of Zhenla. After all, the state religion here is Brahmanism.

Moreover, there are two types of untouchables in Zhenla. One is already civilized and can understand the official language, so that they can be slaves. The other is the savages of the tribes in the mountains, who cannot even understand the official language. This kind of tribe has a lower status than ordinary untouchables.

Song Shunming continued:

"Many dynasties claim that the people in Zhenla are too dark in their skin. In fact, this statement is a rumor."

"The best people in Zhenla are very white in skin, while the lower people are tanned because of work. There are also scholars here who don't know what books they read. They will tie a white rope on their necks, just like the clothes of Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty to distinguish their identities."

"At around ten years old, the Zhenla girl should invite monks to help them remove their virginity, which is called the "array blanket". Every April, girls without the "array blanket" must go to the government to declare, and monks will come to break their bodies. This family must prepare gifts, otherwise the monks will be very angry."

"I heard that it is not a room to break a girl, but a monk stabbed her with his fingers..."

Zhu Kang became more and more outrageous as he heard it, and he asked, "Are you paying attention to these in Zhenla?"

Song Shunming smiled awkwardly.

Zhu Kang asked again: "How are the people in Zhenla doing?"

Song Shunming said: "Jinla is like Chameng. He believes in Brahmanism and divides people into different levels. His father is a craftsman, but his son can only be a craftsman. His father is a military household, but his son can only be a military household. They are all used to it and do not know how to resist. There are even be beggars for generations. However, more and more Buddhists do not pay much attention to these things."

Zhu Kang nodded: "It seems that Buddhism is better."

Song Shunming said: "The Buddhist power is becoming more and more powerful in Zhenla. More than half of the temples built in recent years have been built. Not only are the monks of the two religions often fighting, but their respective believers also kill each other, and dozens or hundreds of people are killed or injured when fighting."

"Report!"

"Our army vanguard encountered an ambush, and hundreds of them were killed and injured, defeated thousands of enemies. More than 400 were beheaded and more than 200 were captured."

"How many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were killed or injured?"

"One person was seriously injured, sixteen people were slightly injured, and no one was killed."

"I understand. I reward She Yehe with a treasure sword and thirty pieces of fine silk, and praise him for his courage and fearlessness!"

Zhu Kang was becoming more and more satisfied with this She Yehe. Although he was an ambitious person, it would be good if he could use it easily.

Of course, being ambushed can kill thousands of enemy troops, and it must be the thousand Ming troops that played the role.

At this moment, She Yehe walked on the road and looked back frequently, looking at the Thousand Ming troops who were fighting together.

The combat power is so terrifying!

Of course, the ambush is not just hiding on the roadside, it will definitely be discovered by the scouts who explored the way.

Thousands of Zhenla troops were hiding in the mountains and forests more than ten miles away, and only a few soldiers were sent to observe them secretly. After the Ming army passed by, they walked around the mountains and forests - it was said to be an ambush, but in fact it was more like a surprise attack.

Faced with the raid, She Yehe's army hurriedly responded, and one of the troops even collapsed on the spot.

However, the thousand Ming troops were calm and calm, and instantly changed from marching to combat formation, and they also counterattacked the Zhenla army.

This battle happened yesterday, but the more She Yeho thought about it, the more terrifying she felt.

Such a Ming army is invincible. In the future, we must be honest and obedient and we must never anger His Highness Yu.

With the help of a thousand Ming troops, Sheyehe became more and more brave in fighting and advanced dozens of miles east of Viatra Bulu before stopping.

This was once the capital of the Funan Kingdom, located on the banks of the Mekong River, a hundred miles southeast of the later Phnom Penh City.

...

Suryavanamo II was in the city, and his face was gloomy at the moment.

The messenger knelt down on the ground: "I met the King of Yu of the Ming Kingdom two hundred miles north of Bintonglong. He refused to talk to me and just arrested me. Seven days ago, he finally summoned me and said a lot... a lot of bad words..."

Surievalevanum II asked, “How exactly should he withdraw his troops?”

The envoy said: "First, Your Majesty should send an envoy to Luoyang to apologize, and the envoy who apologizes must be a member of the royal family; secondly, ced the Porenogo area to Chameng State, and in the future, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, King Yu, will become the king of Chameng."

Porenaugh, also translated as Prilianco, means "the forest of the kingdom".

That is, Ho Chi Minh City in later generations and its surrounding areas.

There are swamps and forests everywhere, with only a few uncivilized tribal villages.

For Surievalevanmore II, there was not much tax or even much military source, and it would not make him feel distressed if he was ceased.

But this will damage his prestige!

After thinking about it, Surievarmo II decided to fight a war.

He is now extremely powerful in military power, with more than 200 war elephants alone, and a mountain cavalry unit.

The armies of various subordinate states and tribes have also completed their assembly one after another, and 80,000 troops can be fought.

Moreover, when fighting in the eastern suburbs of the city, the enemy cannot be allowed to break through the city of Viatra - this is the deputy capital of Zhenla, and the second largest city of Zhenla.

When Zhu Kang led the main army to arrive, in front of him was the enemy camp that stretched for more than ten miles.

The Zhenla army first guarded the village and tried to delay the time until the rainy season.

Zhu Kang asked General Han Jing to drag the artillery out, use artillery fire to wipe out the fortifications of the enemy camp, and then let Annan and Chameng troops attack.

Just as a camp was about to be captured, more than 30,000 nearby Zhenla troops came to rescue them.

The three thousand Ming soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately took the remaining Annan army to catch up with the enemy.

Destroy and destroy!

Zhenla army has few bows and arrows, only officers are equipped with bows and arrows, and long-range firepower is almost negligible.

Moreover, their armor rate is not high, even the elite troops only have leather armor. It does not mean that the army's firearms are enough for the real la army to drink a pot of firearms.

Zhenla's cavalry is also interesting, equipped with leather armor, machetes and long bent rods. In the eyes of the Ming soldiers, such a cavalry unit is a group of horse bandits fighting with a plain sword.

Due to the rugged terrain, the Ming army formed an improved version of the firearm mandarin duck formation.

A large number of Zhenla infantry holding shields and javelins rushed over in a mess due to the rugged terrain.

The flintlock rifle and stair bow were the first to shoot, and from time to time, real La soldiers fell down.

Before the Zhenla army could enter the range of javelins, the Ming army's small cannons also began to fire.

As they fought, a front army of Zhenla was defeated and even the javelins in their hands were not thrown out.
