Chapter 116 Indochina Peninsula
As a key construction project, Kaohsiung Port has already had basic port functions after this period of construction.
A wide cement route leads directly to the center of the special zone from the port. Several simple warehouses have been built at the port. The port's pulley loading and unloading equipment makes it much easier to load and unload cargoes. Kaohsiung Port, a natural good port, is really good. Han Tuozhou took a look at it at a glance, so the base of the "Taiwan-Song Hai Trade Company" was chosen in Kaohsiung Port.
In fact, Han Tuozhou has no more choice. Taipei is still under construction, and Kaohsiung has already taken shape. Moreover, Kaohsiung produces cement, glass, and time watches. Judging from this situation, it will produce more fashionable goods in the future. Taipei has nothing to produce except gold. The benefits of choosing "Taiwan-Song Hai Trade" in the location of the source of goods are self-evident.
Han Tuozhou set his base in Kaohsiung, and Mao Geng certainly wanted it. There were 1,200 people in "Taiwan-Song Hai Trade", and Kaohsiung suddenly had 1,200 more citizens, and at least it would be much more lively. Not only was the popularity popular, it could also stimulate Kaohsiung's construction industry. For example, "Taiwan-Song Hai Trade" wanted to build a four-star building. Han Tuozhou believed that with the support of the sea trade and the upcoming whaling operations, "Taiwan-Song Hai Trade" would definitely not be short of money.
As expected, Han Tuozhou lived up to his expectations. After seeing off the fleet that went east, Kaohsiung Port welcomed the Golden Tripod fleet that was returning from the Indochina Peninsula.
The trip to the Indochina Peninsula was a great success. The fashionable goods loaded from Penghu and the traditional goods loaded in the Song Dynasty were all in Chameng. Zhenwax and Annan were successfully sold. There were only twenty time watches. Before leaving, the indicators were divided. Eight vehicles in Chameng, six units in Chameng and six units in Annan. As expected, the time watches were bought at high prices. Those who failed to get what they wanted had to count on the next batch of time watches. The people who booked the time watches were very enthusiastic. Jinding estimated that even if five hundred units were shipped in one go, there would still be a shortage of supply.
The selling price for the timetable alone was 198 taels of silver per unit, which was about 600 guan, and twenty guan was sold for 12,000 guan. Other goods also made great profits, and the profit for this trip should be more than 18,000 guan. In addition to the ship loaded a ship of coal in Annan on the return trip, this trip was smooth.
What Jinding brought back this time is also the latest map of the Indochina Peninsula.
After seeing this map, Mao Geng couldn't help but feel very moved. Although Chen Liang had already sent a letter to inform him of the actual situation, Mao Geng compared the map and found that the Indochina Peninsula in this era was very different from the situation in later generations.
First of all, the real wax in the current era is the leader of the three kingdoms of the Indochina Peninsula. At this moment, the real wax country includes Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and the southern part of Vietnam in later generations. Chameng is just a piece of land in later generations. As for Annan, the territory is only the northern part of Vietnam in later generations.
I really don’t know how Chameng captured Zhenwash Capital in the early years! Could it be that the Song Dynasty tactics brought by Wu Yunxiang are so effective? Or maybe the martial arts value of the King of Zhenwash after expelled the occupiers of Chameng was out of control, and even if it expanded its territory several times at once!
It has been more than two months since Chen Liang came to Chameng.
As soon as Chen Liang and Jiang Kui arrived at the capital of Cham City, they immediately became guests of the Cham City King Zou Yana. Both of them were famous scholars of the Song Dynasty, especially Chen Liang's articles were compiled in the "Xinbao" series, and Zou Yana was also one of the real readers of "Alishi's Dream in Wonderland". Therefore, when Chen Liang and Jiang Kui arrived at Cham City, they enjoyed the treatment of a national teacher.
Originally, Chen Liang was worried that Zou Yana was not interested in building the palace, but it was obvious that Chen Liang was worried a little unnecessary, just because Zou Yana occupied Angkor in the past and had a lot of wealth to plunder, and spending some money to build the palace was nothing to him.
Zou Yana is a madman in the war, but she is very energetic. She did not want to build a new palace before, but it was not just a saving. In order to prepare for the next year to conquer the real wax, it was the second. Now, Chen Liang, the top architectural expert of the Song Dynasty, came to Cham City, and the situation was very different. After Chen Liang described the super-class palace like this, he heard Zou Yalian's words about the beauty of the "fishing building". In addition, the "New News"'s recommendation of the compilation of cement glass glazed tiles, Zou Yana was ambitious for a moment and designated to build a unique super palace among the Three Kingdoms.
Chen Liang claimed that King Zou Yana's decision was simply too wise. This was definitely not as simple as building a super palace. There was an extremely powerful killing move behind it. Let's listen to Chen Liang's words:
"The King is extremely wise to build a super palace! This move can be more realistic and induce him to advance and retreat. Chen believes that if he wants to conquer real wax, he should first consume the national strength of real wax. The Great Kingdom's Treasure is full. It is a slight effort to build a beautiful palace that respects real wax! The True Ware Capital was rebuilt eight years ago. In the past eight years, the construction of a new capital is not enough to compare with the Great King's Palace. Just imagine, how can the True Ware King behave? They will inevitably want to surpass the Great King's Palace, and thus they will inevitably impose more severe taxes, causing the domestic public to be resentful. Once the political situation is unstable, the King can take the opportunity to raise troops to conquer, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The King's great talent and strategy are truly admired!"
The competition for provoking a large-scale construction project between the Three Kingdoms was originally an adaptation of Mao Geng's strategy of drawing on the arms race in later generations to drag down the other party. The large-scale construction project led to weakening national strength, which was at least logically valid. Chen Liang was not a simple compliment, but it was still particularly useful to the ears of King Zou Yana. Because in this world, few people can get high praise from Chen Liang, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty.
In fact, King Zou Yana entered the capital of the True Wax twelve years ago, caught the True Wax King, and robbed the entire Angkor. To this day, Champa is still taking advantage of the former plunder of the True Wax. He used the money of the True Wax to build the palace of Champa. It was built specifically by the super builders of the Song Dynasty. When he thinks about it, it makes people feel particularly happy. The True Wax capital was burned into pieces in that war and turned into a ruin, so he had to rebuild it in large quantities. After the large-scale reconstruction, if he wanted to build another capital comparable to the Champa Super Palace, it would mean that the True Wax would bleeding again, and it would be inevitable to impose heavy taxes.
King Zou Yana said that that's what he thought.
In fact, after Chen Liang arrived in Cham City, he slowly learned that the three kingdoms of Annan and Zhenwai competed for the victory of the Three Kingdoms was a bit complicated. He originally thought that Annan was the dominant of these three kingdoms, but when he arrived in Cham City, he realized that this was not the case. On the contrary, Zhenwai was much larger than the combined territory of Annan and Cham City. By the way, Zhenwai is also called Angkor today.
But Chameng did capture the capital Angkor, Angkor, more than ten years ago. Chen Liang believed that this should be a part of luck. Although Wu Yunxiang from the Song Dynasty brought some advanced tactics, these tactics were just to deceive the real wax. Wu Yunxiang accidentally hit the dog luck and successfully attacked Angkor, which helped Zou Yana defeat him.
However, eight years ago, the new king of Angkor, Sujjvarman VII, led his troops to defeat the Chameng army and restored the territory, ending the four-year occupation of Angkor by Chameng. Since Sujvarman VII restored Zhenwat, Zhenwat has no longer been a weak giant. Now Zhenwat has a strong national strength and its territory continues to expand. Zhenwat's territory cannot be underestimated. It borders Dali in the north, Annan and Chameng in the east, which occupy the entire Mekong River basin and the west border with Myanmar. Whether it is Annan or Chameng, it seems a bit pitiful compared to the territory of Zhenwat.
It turns out that real wax is the identity of Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period. Before coming here, he completely misled the situation.
On this day, Wu Yunxiang came to the guest house and made a special trip to visit Chen Liang.
Although Wu Yunxiang was very successful in Champa, he was just a clown in Chen Liang's eyes. Wu Yunxiang looked all over the stars and looked admiring. He was a little helpless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Chen Liangyu said disdainfully:
"I heard that Mr. Wu was a talented man who assisted the King of Chameng to get real wax twelve years ago. This time, it seems that Mr. Wu is still unwilling to be lonely and wants to assist the King in capturing real wax again. Is this a matter?"
Wu Yunxiang was shocked and thought that it was not what the king told Chen Liang. The plan was to go to war next year, but the matter was very confidential and few people knew about it. How could it be leaked? Wu Yunxiang subconsciously dispelled the rumors:
"Mr. Tongfu may have heard the rumors by mistake. I can guarantee that there is no such thing."
"Mr. Wu, Chen is a little familiar with the principles of Yi. After calculating his fingers, he knows that this matter is true. But Chen has a word first. If he rashly conquers the real wax, he may not be able to escape. Chen's words are all here, Mr. Wu must be careful."
Chen Liang observed his expression and saw that Wu Yunxiang was encouraging Zou Yana to conquer the master of Zhenwax again, but this person seemed to have no foundation in Champa and seemed to know nothing about the movements of the masters and factions.
After Chen Liang understood the current situation of the Three Kingdoms, he realized that the strategy he had planned before was not feasible, so that Chameng and Zhenwax could work together to fight Annan? Mao Geng could think of it! For this reason, Chen Liang complained about Mao Geng's idea in his heart. But no matter what, the situation of the Three Kingdoms is best to maintain it. Whoever destroys whom, even one country dominates, and finally annexes the other two countries is not in the interests of the Song Dynasty, so that such gambling national wars should definitely be avoided. The three countries can constantly be frictional and have a small fight, but once who is destroyed, it will not be beautiful.
"I am reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Mr. Tongfu, and I was greatly inspired. What Mr. Tongfu said is very reasonable. I am advised by the king, asking the king not to send troops rashly."
Chen Liang started writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the ship, and it was nothing more than warning the king of Champa to prevent him from starting a war rashly. After arriving in Champa, he began to carve wax paper and mimeograph the overseas version of "Xinbao" and released it for the Three Kingdoms. Among them, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the most popular. Although it has only been released for less than four issues, people like Wu Yunxiang began to become addicted to reading it. Wu Yunxiang had read "Zizhi Tongjian" before and was no stranger to the history of the Three Kingdoms.
Jiang Kui was determined to ease the atmosphere and said:
"Brother Tongfu is also very kind. Since ancient times, the soldiers are in danger and the army is in danger, and it is difficult to have a winning army. Brother Wu, during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao claimed that his army of 800,000 was defeated in Chibi. Liu Bei insisted on conquering Wu, and his strength was unstoppable, but in the end, Yiling was defeated. It's a pity! This is a lesson from the previous car. Since ancient times, he has been defeated many times before he wants to win. Please think deeply about Brother Wu!"
Originally, Jiang Kui was here to take up his mind and not ask about political affairs, but he was going to Annan soon. Before leaving, he was afraid that Wu Yunxiang, who was also a native of the Song Dynasty, would be hot, so he couldn't help but say casually.
