"It was people from Mo Chao who did it. Mo Chao's 50,000 troops were lost in Guangxi, so they hated the Han people to the core."
In the palace of Champa, King Bonan was so angry that he trembled all over after hearing the whole story.
"Have you ever caught the murderer?"
The official was sweating profusely and trying to defend himself.
"I have deployed all my strength, but the murderer is cunning and treacherous, and it is difficult to catch him for a while."
Bonan knocked over the tea table in front of him with one kick, and the roar echoed throughout the palace.
"The Han warships are coming soon. Without an explanation, are we going to let Champa be destroyed?"
Speaking of the tyranny of the Han people, all the officials in Champa were sweating.
Someone asked anxiously: "Can you ask Ruan to rescue me?"
It was okay not to mention this, but when it was mentioned, Bonan became even more angry.
"Have you already taken refuge with the Ruan family?"
While competing with the Zheng family for supremacy, the Ruan family has always coveted the city.
After all, the natural conditions in Champa are really good and the products are rich, which can greatly enhance the strength of the Ruan family.
Facing the Ruan family's attack, the weak Champa could only struggle to deal with it. Its land area was getting smaller and smaller, and it had reached the point of being precarious.
As the king of Champa, Bonan's hatred for the Ruan family could not be increased.
In his opinion, if something like this happened, although the Han warships would come over to show off their power, they would eventually retreat. But once the Ruan family is let in, the only way to occupy the city is to destroy the country.
Seeing that the proposal was rejected by the king, another official jumped out quickly.
"You can prepare a lot of treasures, bribe the Han generals, and find some scapegoats to eliminate the disaster."
Bonan calmed down, thought carefully, and finally nodded silently.
In his opinion, this method is already the best.
While the Champa people were frightened, the Nanhai Fleet arrived as expected.
The envoy's boat rushed over like crazy, and the people on the bow waved the white flag into a windmill, fearing that the Han people would misunderstand.
The officers looked at Xu Xizhong, full of worry.
How could Xu Xizhong not know why?
"Fire and sink him."
When an order is given, it is carried out promptly.
Several artillery pieces on the flagship fired one round at a time, and the envoys occupying the city became bait in the sea.
The Champa people on the shore were looking forward to it, but when they saw this scene, they all started to run away.
Bonan was hiding in the palace and got the news. His vision went dark and he fainted.
Looking at the overwhelming number of warships on the sea, the Champa people did not think about resisting at all.
Everyone packed up their belongings in panic and ran towards the mountain.
Xu Xizhong observed the terrain of Cam Ranh Bay with a telescope, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Send one company of soldiers to each of the south and north islands. The fourth team will stay on the outside and sweep across the coast, while the remaining teams will enter the harbor."
Since the Champa people had no resistance, the fourth detachment did not open fire wantonly after entering Cam Ranh Bay.
The ships on the dock, the piled goods, and the scattered treasures all became the spoils of war for the National Defense Forces.
Under the cover of the navy, the Marines successfully landed and seized key points. It didn't take much effort to claim this unique bay for ourselves.
The Champa people who ran to the mountains waited in fear for five days. They found out that the National Defense Forces only occupied the bay and did not commit any murders. They finally felt a little relieved.
"If you send an envoy over again, you must understand your superior country's intentions."
The mosquitoes in the jungle made Bonan very miserable. He eagerly wanted to return to his palace and live a comfortable life.
As for whether the envoys sent again would be killed by the National Defense Forces, he didn't care at all.
The Champa envoy came to the National Defense Forces again, fully expecting to encounter the same fate, but unexpectedly he was let in smoothly.
So he knelt down in front of Xu Xizhong with joy and cried loudly to express his injustice.
"It was someone from Mo Chao who did it, and the small country is already trying its best to arrest him. The great power of heaven is so mighty, how can a small country dare to disobey?"
Xu Xizhong, sitting with a golden sword, is completely unreasonable.
"Our people died in your country. In any case, it is the responsibility of occupying the city. You must pay the price, otherwise, you will pay a greater price."
The messenger trembled all over, remembering the king's warning, and couldn't help but nod his head.
"Champa has always been very obedient to the Lord. Please let me know if the general has any instructions."
Xu Xizhong was very satisfied with his attitude and raised his hand to point around the bay.
"Champa City is weak and has been suppressed by the Nguyen family. From now on, the National Defense Force will be stationed here to ensure the safety of Champa City. All expenses incurred will be borne by Champa City."
After hearing his request, the envoy who occupied the city was overjoyed.
"Is this true? Is it really true? The villain will go back immediately to inform His Majesty the King of the kindness of the kingdom."
Xu Xizhong was a little confused.
I occupied your land, plundered your wealth, and sat on your head to poop and piss on you, but you still want to thank me?
What's wrong?
As a result, early the next morning, when the sun rose, Bonan led all the officials in the occupied city to visit with singing and dancing.
"With the heavenly army here, Champa can rest easy now."
When all the contradictions are gathered together, it is necessary to distinguish the priorities.
Ignoring the secondary contradictions and solving the main contradictions is equivalent to solving all problems.
For the Champa people, the occupation of Cam Ranh Bay by the Tatmadaw was no big deal.
Anyway, the trade will continue normally, and the tax collected from occupying the city will not be less.
Although the cost of providing an army of 20,000 was a huge sum of money, compared with the subjugation of the country, it was nothing.
On the contrary, with the National Defense Force stationed here, would the Ruan family still dare to invade rashly?
It didn't take long for Xu Xizhong to figure out the causal relationship behind it.
"Bo Nan's second son, Po Suo, hated the Ruan family very much. He supported him, put him in power, and prompted him to go to war with the Ruan family. It doesn't matter how long it takes. As long as there is a fight, the city will be ours."
Xu Erjue came specially from Batavia to provide advice to Xu Xizhong.
It was not in the interests of the empire to be submissive to the lying Champa people.
Because this gave the empire no excuse to completely take over this sacred land as its own.
Then you can only think of other ways.
War, the war between Champa and the Nguyen clan is the best opportunity.
Bonan is already old and only wants to spend the rest of her life in luxury and sex, and has no use value anymore.
On the contrary, his second son Po Suo has always been ambitious and wanted to get rid of the control of the Ruan family and complete the independence of Champa.
This idea is very good and can be exploited by the empire.
So one night not long after, all the people sent by the Ruan family to Champa were massacred.
Having done this, Posuo quickly gained a high status in the eyes of the Champa people and was highly supported.
Posuo saw the opportunity and immediately spent a large amount of money to purchase a batch of weapons from the National Defense Forces.
Po Nan was hiding in the palace and knew all about Po Suo's actions. Seeing this, he was very happy and simply passed the throne to Posuo.
