Chapter 356: The canal is drilled
He remembered that wars seemed to break out in the direction of Myanmar during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Ming and Qing dynasties did not take advantage of the two conflicts. The Ming and Qing dynasties finally adopted a contraction policy to shrink the border and lost the jurisdiction of some chieftains in the southwest. As for the Qing dynasty, they did not chew off the bones of Myanmar in the end and suffered heavy losses in military strength. They just accidentally planted willows and became a shade of willows and saved Thailand, which had already lost its country, and prevented Myanmar from becoming hegemony on the Indochina Peninsula.
But now I think about Nanzheng. Although Sima Ji didn't care how many people died in the war and how many people immigrated and died there, he had a key thing to do now, that is, preparing for a civil war. So Nanzheng was just thinking about it, of course, it was still harmless to talk about it. After all, it was the place that the King of Yan had always been thinking about.
Liu Ye told all the development of the Funan Kingdom in recent years. One of the things that made Sima Ji pay great attention, that is, the Funan Kingdom and the Zhuluo Empire are currently engaged in maritime trading, which made Sima Ji very tired.
However, there are many reasons. Although India and China did not finally make the Indochina Peninsula, one thing is true, that is, including the entire Southeast Asia of the Indochina Peninsula, Indian culture has indeed gained a foothold. Chinese culture is a disadvantage in other places except in Jiaozhou.
Sima Ji knew very well about this phenomenon and naturally had no good impression of Indian culture, not to mention that the current South Asian continent was still the time for the revival of Brahmanism.
"Liu Ye, the first queen of Funan, was held hostage by those little black people, and eventually had to hand over his country. Those little black people are not pure, you must be careful." Sima Ji had to warn Liu Ye, using his own modification and polished history of Funan to make the little queen more alert.
Sima Ji was so concerned about the Indochina Peninsula, if there was no result and Indian culture gained an advantage, this was an irreconcilable hatred. To put it bluntly, he established the little queen, which is no different from the King of Yan green.
"I know, please rest assured, the king. Besides, with Zhanzhou helping, Funan will not be in trouble." Liu Ye nodded frequently, reassuring Sima Ji, "The first queen's affairs will not happen to me again."
"Just know, will I harm you?" Sima Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "How good I am to you, you should understand the best."
As soon as this sentence was said, Liu Ye's face turned red and he said embarrassedly, "Lu Ye will never forget the care of the king." Liu Ye still treated Sima Ji as a playful object like a palace. The most beautiful and softness of the opposite sex, the real touch that came from his shoulders made the bloody King Yan sway. Sima Ji took a deep breath and calmed the spiritual platform. He sat up straight, turned his head, and looked at the jade-like face and the colorful eyes that were flying straight.
"That's good, it's still a long time in the future." Unfortunately, Sima Ji didn't dare to think too much. He felt that throwing himself into his arms was always far away from him. He ignored the little queen's thoughts. He had always subconsciously thought about things in the future age as the standard, but he didn't care that ancient people were actually very precocious, and at this age they were often ready to get married. Before returning to Funan, Sima Ji was afraid that the local natives would be dissatisfied, so he specially strengthened the helpers around Liu Ye.
One of these helpers is considered eunuchs, and there are female officials in the Funan Palace, in order not to allow Liu Ye to be influenced by local local officials to oppose the Great Jin Dynasty, resulting in almost a handful of men Liu Ye has seen. Although he does not have deep love for Sima Ji, he has always had a certain favor.
Sima Ji, who has always been overpowering others, could not feel Liu Ye’s thoughts? He had long been used to saying that someone would send the woman in need to warm the bed. His emotional intelligence was so low that he missed the opportunity to flirt with girls.
When the two were talking in the mountains, Sima Ji had already sent people to report along the way, focusing on the scale of the tribute and treasures he brought with him, hoping that the court would pay attention to it. Of course, what I hope most is that Luoyang is concerned about the face of the country and not interfere in the internal struggle when others come to pay tribute.
Now Jia Nanfeng is aggressively trying to depose the prince. The initiative is in the hands of Jia Nanfeng, and it is not a showdown that is evenly matched. As long as the queen who has the initiative takes into account the overall situation, Sima Ji can achieve his goal and buy some time for the opening of the canal. As for what happens later, it will be left to fate.
"The climate of Jin Dynasty is not as good as Funan. There is a difference between hot and cold. You should take care of your body more." When the team sent Liuye left, Sima Ji was chattering like a father, reminding the little queen to take care of her health. Liuye is not even a child at this age. If something happens, will the Funan Kingdom be in chaos again?
In this way, his achievements in the southern expedition were not much, and he had to give another discount, and the King of Yan could not afford this loss.
"I understand!" Liu Ye replied like Sima Ji, pretending to be deep and waved his hand to set off. The mission of Funan Kingdom carried elephants, rhinos and other animals. In fact, the speed of traveling by land was not fast, but this was better, and it was just right.
Just as Sima Ji said, the power comparison between the Queen of Luoyang and the Crown Prince is still very obvious. Jia Nanfeng learned that such a large-scale mission came to pay tribute, and after hesitation, he still made the decision to prepare for it. After all, although the King of Yan in the Southern Conquest was in charge, half of the credit was his own, and he could only make things too ugly.
After the court officials learned about this decision, many court officials were relieved, and even thanked that such an incident occurred at such a time. The atmosphere in Luoyang has become too serious recently. Even the ministers who didn't believe that Jia Nanfeng would insist on his own will become increasingly suspicious of their earlier judgments.
For the people of Luoyang, although elephants and rhinos are not uncommon in the south of the Yangtze River, they are also rare for the people of the capital. There are crowds of people on the streets, and I want to see where the queen came to pay tribute in person.
Ordinary people did not know that the Jin Dynasty was the final say of a woman now. They just felt that a country was led by a woman and were very surprised. There was a lot of discussion between the streets and alleys, and they didn't know that their country was now equal.
Liuye brought a lot of treasure roots. After landing in Tianjin, some of them were stuffed in by Sima Ji. The tribute had become astronomical figures. As soon as he settled in Luoyang, he began to give gifts to major officials. The officials in Luoyang deserved the gifts and were not worth it. The King of Yan who flew kites in Jicheng knew very well.
If it were in other dynasties, it would be inappropriate to give gifts to court officials so openly. After all, they still have shame, but I, the Great Jin Dynasty, are different. Everyone knows that I, the Great Jin Dynasty, are often rich and do not reject such gifts full of money, because I am afraid that there are not enough.
After some exchanges, many important officials felt that the Funan Kingdom in the south was loyal and worthy of being regarded as a model among all the vassals of the Great Jin Dynasty. Any vassal may be sentenced, but Funan Kingdom will definitely not be, that's how realistic it is.
Even as I looked at Liu Ye, the queen, was very pleasing to her eyes. What about the hen Si Chen, it was simply a slander. Isn’t my grand Jin also the queen of handling political affairs? Isn’t this very good? The country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"It was sent by Liu Ye, who was the King of Funan during the expedition?" Sima Xuanhua also received a valuable gift. Although she had been used to being a princess, she was still in a good mood when receiving the gift.
"Princess, it's her. When King Yan killed the entire family of King Funan, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand firm in the local area, so he established a queen. The queen also knew about this, it was this Liuye." Dong Meng said with a humble smile on the side, "It seems that King Yan has a good vision now, and this queen still knows gratitude."
"The uncle's vision has always been good, there is no need to question this." Sima Xuanhua was in a good mood and said happily, "The queen of mother has also smiled a lot recently. I wonder if it is related to this?"
"I don't know about this. The princess can go and ask in person." Dong Meng lowered his head and suggested.
"Hurry up!" The raised whip crackled and whipped the Hegong. The supervisor who raised the whip was still yelling and scolding, "If you hadn't finished your work, would we stay here for so long? Tell you, if His Highness Yan hadn't been kind, you wouldn't have the chance to live to this day. The canal was immediately connected. If you weren't honest, I would have let you not live that day."
"Okay, a county lieutenant will come here later, so don't cause trouble." Another supervisor was not far away, and hurried over to see this. Seeing the beheaded prisoners, their clothes were already one by one, and under the strips of rotten cloth were covered with colorful red marks, with whip marks one by one, and even several layers of whip marks of different colors appeared.
He could tell at a glance that this prisoner of war should have been beaten frequently, and maybe he would no longer feel any ordinary whipping. He opened his mouth and called the boss of the prisoner of war in the work section and ordered, "Pull it down and rest for a stick of incense."
The entire river section is still busy and has not been hindered by such common trivial matters. According to Luo Yong's words, victory is right ahead. In just a few days, the canal can be chiseled and rested at that time.
Just like the night before dawn, there was no need for supervisors to whip and urge them in the past few days. The prisoners of war and corvee were full of energy, so in his eyes, his colleagues were obviously in a bad mood to vent their anger. The prisoners of war beaten in front of him were just an unlucky guy.
