Chapter 66 Rebellion

In the battle of Jinou Island, Cui Qian captured more than 7,000 prisoners, more than 8,700 of whom were wounded died, nearly 2,000 were disabled, and less than 1,000 recovered. In addition, with minor injuries and uninjured, a total of more than 5,300 lively prisoners were waiting to be dealt with. Cui Qian did not let them idle and arranged for them to build a camp on the island.

Yuehai told Cui Qian that the most important thing for the king to conquer Funan is to collect the hearts of the people. He has said that the people in Funan are descendants of Yan and Huang, which are different from Fan Man and other immigrants. As long as they psychologically assimilate these Funan people, the Funan will be a stable base in the future.

Cui Qian understood that he was very polite to these prisoners. He not only did not allow the soldiers to be beaten and scolded, but also treated them. The first holy medicine for injuries in the army - a few women in nurse's clothes were sent there. Those Funan soldiers were flattered and some of them did not dare to accept them. The sailors took the opportunity to tell them that this was to treat you as themselves. They looked at them, and then took them to the seriously injured people who were not natives of Funan. When they saw that the wounded only received simple wound treatment, they listened to their fate there. The medical craftsmen were reluctant and took a heavy attack. The wounded screamed in waves. Funan soldiers felt that they were much happier, which was a matter of Yan Huangzi. The word Sun has a little practical feeling.

After the injuries, the soldiers participated in the labor together. They felt more deeply the difference between their own people and non-their own people. All the Funan indigenous people who are considered to be the descendants of Yanhuang have appropriate labor intensity arrangements, good food, and those who have not fully recovered from their injuries are taken care of them, but are considered to be foreign households who are not descendants of Yanhuang. You have to work under the supervision of the whip, and the food is much worse. It is normal to have sand in the meal, and it is normal to have worms in the dish. After more than ten days of different treatment, several prisoners protested, saying that they had been mistakenly classified. They were also natives of Funan, but they could not understand Chinese at that time, so they were mistaken for outsiders.

Cui Qian gave them the opportunity to re-identify, and then deliberately corrected a few mistakes and cleaned up a few pseudo-indigenous people exposed by the real indigenous people. Over time, the indigenous people began to be proud of their identity. They began to show off their identity as descendants of Yanhuang in front of their friends.

These are slowly accumulated. Under the conscious guidance of Cui Qian and others, the seeds of contradictions between indigenous and non-indigenous people have been planted.

Sun Shao's inspection put fertilizer on these seeds again.

Sun Shao first inspected the camp of the indigenous people. He was kind and talked and laughed. He said a few words to a few Funan soldiers who could say a few hard words. Then he kept instructing Cui Qian and others to take care of these soldiers as if they were taking care of their relatives, and then picked a few soldiers who performed better. Go to inspect the camp on the other side. On the other side, he immediately changed his face. His nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not his eyes. After a while, he said that they were not good at work, and after a while, he said that the prisoners were restless and wanted to kill a few Li Liwei. In short, it gave people the feeling that it was as ruthless as the autumn wind.

Of course, these differences were sent back to the ears of the indigenous people by those activists. For a while, Sun Shao, the king of Yue, was very caring for his people, and the rumors of being fierce to the enemy were officially confirmed.

Time passed quickly. A month and a half passed in a flash. Sun Shao gathered the prisoners together and announced the news that Fan Man, the king of Funan, wanted to redeem the Funan soldiers. He only paid a ransom for non-indigenous prisoners, 200 yuan each, and then added an explanation, which was basically It's the price of a pig.

The prisoners blew up at once. On the one hand, the non-indigenous people were surprised that they were so worthless, just like a pig, and on the other hand, they were very happy that they could finally leave this non-human place and return to Funan. They looked at the natives proudly, and their eyes were very straightforward. Let you be proud. Let's go back. You can continue to enjoy the preferential treatment of the Vietnamese here.

The indigenous people are very frustrated. Although they enjoy their status here, after all, their families are in Funan. It's better to go back. Now the king of Funan doesn't pay them a ransom, which means that they are not even worth a pig. Is that what they are loyal to, the king of Funan, sees them like this?

After talking chatter for a long time, Sun Shao and other prisoners continued to order that Funan soldiers could leave the island in ten days, but everyone should leave a mark. If you are captured on the battlefield in the future, you should not expect a way to live, and you will be killed without mercy. And the natives should not be nervous. It's okay if the King of Funan doesn't pay. I'll let you go today, and I don't want a penny.

After a moment of astonishment, the indigenous people were ecstatic and long live the mountain.

Sun Shao waved his hand, signaling the indigenous people to be quiet, and then announced a notice. The indigenous prisoners have been working here for more than a month. They can't let you do it for nothing. I will pay you. Although the standard of pay is a little lower, only ten yuan a day, this is my intention. I hope you don't think it's too little.

The indigenous people were completely crazy. Several of them were more excited and simply fell on the ground and cried bitterly. Under the command of the sailors of the State of Yue, they lined up in a neat line and came forward one by one to receive money. For a total of more than 50 days, they received more than 500 yuan a day and left happily. Sun Shaoxian sent a ship to send them back to Funan. After they returned to Funan safely, he would send the second batch of non-indigenous prisoners.

Sun Shao finally said that I hope that after you go back to Funan, you don't fight anymore, so that you won't be captured next time. Go home and have a good life. If you are willing to vote for our Yue Guoshui Division, I welcome you. If you are willing to do business, I can also give you the same preferential treatment as the people of Yue.

The prisoners were grateful. There were several requests to stay on the spot, but Sun Shao warmly advised that you can join the army, but the family must be worried about you. It's better to go back to see your family first, and then come back. The door of our Yue Guo's sailor is open to you at any time.

In the eyes of non-indigenous prisoners who wanted to kill, more than 4,8 hundred indigenous prisoners returned happily. After ten days of delay, Sun Shao let go of the last 500 prisoners. After calculation, he caught these prisoners, didn't make a penny, and accompanied a lot of money. This was the first time he had lost money since he did business, but he believed that more than 4,000 people went back to Funan, and Fan Man would have a headache.

Of course, Fan Man had a headache. He was still wondering why Sun Shao was so talkative that he actually promised 200 yuan to redeem a soldier. When the indigenous soldiers in Funan were released for free, the more than 4,000 prisoners returned to Funan. Some of them were injured and retired, and some were on their turn. It was time to go home to visit their relatives. Fan Man didn't think too much. He thought that they had been captured and might be a little timid. It may be a good thing to let them go home and calm down. Wait for the recruits. When the news came back, saying that the people were in turmoil, and many people were unwilling to fight with the Yue people, and even another family absconded, Fan Man woke up.

He was fooled by Sun Shao. Although he still doesn't know how Sun Shao took the medicine, he knew that Sun Shao must have made another trick.

The last batch of prisoners released ten days later confirmed Fan Man's conjecture in time.

Fan Man regretted Modie. If he had known this, he would rather have killed more than 4,000 people than let them go home, but now he can't kill them again. Sun Shao used benevolence and righteousness. He used cruelty and contrasted the two sides, which proved the idea that Sun Shao instilled in those prisoners: Fan Man is an outsider, and they did not take you Some indigenous people are people, and I, the king of Yue and your ancestors, are our own people.

In the face of Sun Shao's move, Fan Man was helpless. If he wanted to talk about the war, he might still have a way to deal with it, but in terms of public opinion guidance, he could not catch up with Sun Shao. In order to prevent the 40,000 troops that had been conscripted from being affected, Fan Man did not dare to neglect it and immediately ordered Fan Chang to lead the army to set out. At the same time, Fan Man had to announce this year's tax reduction and exemption to compete with Sun Shao for the hearts of the people.

Sun Shao laughed when he heard the news. Fan Man was forced to reduce his wealth, which was no different from drinking poison to quench his thirst. It was not easy for the army to fight without adding gifts. Now he wants to fight for the hearts of the people and help the people, but he still wants to reduce his gifts. He can only rely on years of savings. In terms of financial resources, can he compare with Yue? Now he only used 200,000 yuan to exchange for Funan's one-year tax. It can't be less, which is also a one-to-tenth achievement.

Sun Shao was very satisfied, but he did not stop there. He sent envoys to the vassals of Funan to publicize to them the achievements of the annial of the Funan Marine Division in the First World War on Jin'ou Island. He told them that the Funan Marine Division was gone. Now this sea area is my country. You should recognize the situation and don't follow Fan Man. Black.

If the previous anti-prisoners are just appetizer soup before meals, the anti-nationals can be regarded as the main meal. Most of the taxes in Funan come from these coastal dependency countries. Once they betray Funan, Fan Man's wealth will shrink significantly. Now, Fan Man is in urgent need of money.

Among the many countries of Funan, Sun Shao paid special attention to the State of Jin and Chen. He ordered General Zuo Cui Qian to move to the coast of the State of Jin and Sun to cooperate with the persuasion.

Jin Chen is located in the southwest of Funan and the west coast of Funan Bay. The land is not large. The widest place from east to west is only 100 miles, and the north and south is only 300 miles wide. However, his position is very important. First, Jin Chen is a connection point between the mainland of Funan and many dependent countries. Now there are no sailors in Funan. The territorial states of the south must be contacted through the Kingdom of Jin and Chen to occupy the State of Jin and Chen, which cut off Fan Man's control over the countries in the south. The second reason is that Jin Chen Guoxi faces the Andaman Sea and has a natural good port, Dunson Port. Dunson Port and Funan's local Russian-E Port are one of the two good ports under Funan's jurisdiction. Geographically, Donson Port is more important than Russia-E Port. There is a big market in Dunson. At the opening of the market, tens of thousands of people participated in the transaction at the East-West Fair. There are many kinds of rare treasures from the East and the West. Of course, the commercial tax revenue is also very considerable.

The result of the discussion between Sun Shao and Cui Qian and others is that if you want to take Funan, you must intercept its commercial tax, and if you want to intercept its commercial tax, you must first take Jin Chen Guo.

Jin Chenguo is so important that Sun Shao can realize that Fan Man, of course, is more aware that when he announced that he would reduce his army, he sent his confidant Fan Jun to Jin Chen, accompanied by 5,000 troops and 50 war elephants. There are more than 300 war elephants in Funan. Fan Yan lost ten elephants, and Fan Jinsheng lost ten. Now there are less than 300 war elephants. There are 200 warheads with Fan Changjun. Fan Jun brought out another 50, and there are less than 50 war elephants left in the special pastoral city. It can be seen that Fan Man attaches great importance to Jin and Chen.

Jin Chen Wang Wugui is a rich old man of about 50 years old, with a round face, curved eyebrows, a pair of slender eyes, smiling before saying a word, with harmony from the inside out. But if you really think he is a kind person, you are wrong. Fan Man has destroyed so many countries, and Jin Chen is in such a position. If Wu Gui was just a kind person, he would have been killed by Fan Man.

So when Lin Yizhi, the envoy of the State of Yue, saw the blameless, he did not take it lightly. He mentioned the spirit of twelve points. On the contrary, Wu Gui was a little surprised. He looked at the white-skinned and weak-looking messenger of Yue in front of him with a smile on his face, and doubted whether it was a messenger or a traveling scholar.

In fact, he didn't guess wrong. Lin Yizhi was originally a traveling scholar, but during the journey, he was attracted by the deviant Yue king and minister. Then he recommended himself and became Sun Shao's official. This time, he took the initiative to invite Jin Chen.

The reason why Sun Shao promised him was not only because he had knowledge and experience, but more importantly, he actually understood Yi language. There are many people in Yue who know Yi language, but most of them are inclined to businessmen, and there are not many scholars like him who take the initiative to learn Yi language. Although the Han Dynasty was defeated, the scholars of the Han Dynasty were still somewhat arrogant. They looked down on the Yi people from the bottom of their hearts and thought that they were uneducated and it was useless to learn Yi language.

"It's hard to work far away." He greeted politely and said politely, "Is it safe all the way?"

Although Lin Yizhi understood Yiyu, he quietly turned his eyes to the translation next to him. When the translation was finished, he smiled and saluted: "Thank you for your concern. It's all the way. My Yue Marine Division is stationed in Funan Bay. There are no pirates. Even if there are pirates, it's okay. General Cui, who just anniied the eight thousand sailors in Funan, escorted me here. Are there any pirates who are so bold?

The interpreter translated the words over, and the face of Wang Wugui of Jin Chen suddenly changed. He blinked his slender eyes and looked at Lin Yizhi for a long time before smiling faintly and said, "Jone 8,000 Funan sailors? Isn't all the sailors in Funan gone?

"What the king said is very true." Lin Yizhi nodded slightly and was calm.

There is no need to listen to the translation. From Lin Yizhi's look, no blame will know the answer. There was still a polite smile on his face, but his eyes flashed. When Fan Jun rushed to Jin Chen, he didn't say anything to him. If the Funan Marine Division has been completely annijud by the Yue Marine Division, the matter will be considered. He originally planned to listen to the conditions of Yue, and then directly handed over Lin Yizhi to Fan Jun, otherwise Fan Jun could not let him see Lin Yizhi.

However, the Yue Guosui Division, who just destroyed the Funan Marine Division, is at his doorstep. If he kills Lin Yizhi at this time, won't he make trouble for himself? For the death of several merchants, the king of Yue can come to the door with the strength of a country and kill his messenger. What's the difference between that and Fan Man's burning?

Wu Gui looked at Lin Yizhi and smiled softly: "Your sailors have crossed the sea. It's really rare to win such a great victory. Congratulations, congratulations."

Lin Yizhi smiled gently: "Happy together, happy together."

No blame was stunned and laughed dryly: "Where does the joy come from?"

Lin Yi laughed and said, "The king of Funan is not connected to the economy. He only knows how to exploit the people and the vassal state. Your country is located at the key point. It is said to enter the money, but Fan Man only regards Jin Chen as a cash cow. I have a rough view of the king's palace, which can't be compared with my ordinary merchants in Yue. Our country is different. Our country attaches great importance to merchants. Since the king of my family, we have attached great importance to businessmen. Those who do business have their own regulations and enjoy the protection of sailors. Anyone who dares to invade the merchants of our country of Yue is no different from starting a war with our country. This time, my king's personal expedition to Funan, I think the king must also be very clear. The king thought about it. With the position of Jin Chen, if it is a vassal state of our Yue, how can the glory and wealth enjoyed by the king be comparable in front of him? Among other things, the king doesn't even have a silk coat, does he?

Lin Yizhi pointed to a gold ribbon around his waist and smiled faintly, showing the self-confidence from the upper states. There is no blame. Silk is a valuable. Although Jin Chen is rich, as Lin Yizhi said, most of the wealth has been deprived of by the State of Funan. If he hadn't swallowed his anger and a little unhappiness, I'm afraid that Fan Man would have directly taken the State of Jin Chen. He couldn't afford to wear a silk coat, so he could only tie a ribbon with gold silk around his waist. Unexpectedly, he was really seen by Lin Yizhi.

"I misunderstood, I... I don't like silk very much, too... too exposed, too heavy enough." There is no blame to cover it up.

"So that's it." Lin Yi directly hugged his fist and apologized: "The king is simple and really admirable. Compared with the extravagant desire to help the king's sons, the king is the model for the superiors. To tell the truth, my king doesn't like silk clothes either. When he saw the captured Fan Jinsheng using silk as a small coat, he sighed that the king was so extravagant that he could not be defeated.

He didn't change his face, but he couldn't help but move in his heart. Of course, he knows what the nobles of Funan have lived. Fan Jun is in his palace. As the eldest son of the King of Funan, it goes without saying that Fan Jinsheng wears silk clothes. Where did the money come from? Isn't it exploited from the heads of their subordinate countries, of which Jin Chen was the most exploited.

However, he was surprised by more than that. The messenger of Vietnam looked very weak and didn't speak loudly, but every sentence hit the point, so you had to follow his way, which was very terrible.

No blame closed his mind, changed the topic, and didn't want to be entangled on this issue anymore. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to ensure that he would not be moved. He was told that it was okay, but he knew that there were Fu Nan's eyes and ears in the palace, and the words came to Fan Jun's ears, which would be troublesome. Even if he just politely echoed, it might lead to disaster.

"I am very happy that you are far away. Jin Chen is a barbarian small country. He has admired the big man for a long time. He just heard that the government of the big Han Dynasty is restless. Is it better now? Alas, the world is uneasy, and it is the people who suffer the most.

Lin Yizhi bowed: "The king's house is benevolent and admirable. The king learned that our Han Dynasty had been pacified for four or five years. Now we have stopped the war and rested with the people. Although the people live a little poorer, they have no suffering from war. In addition, I have a foundation of more than 400 years, and I have talents. Although there are disasters, I can always avoid danger. Buddha Yun has been a disaster for five hundred years. After this disaster, it must not be a problem for me to prosper for another five hundred years.

Wugui's eyes lit up: "Do you know the Buddhism of Tianzhu? Can you communicate with Brahmanism?

Lin Yizhi nodded with a smile: "I heard a little, but I don't dare to stand side with the king. He said that he studied the Vedas. If there is any doubt, please ask the king for advice."

At this time, Tianzhu Buddhism and Brahmanism have been fighting for hundreds of years, and each has its own victory or defeat. During the Peacock Dynasty, King Ashoka raised the Buddha, the power of Buddhism greatly increased, and Brahmanism went downhill. However, as the so-called blessing and disaster, King Ashoka spared no effort to promote the Buddha, which also pushed Buddhism to the dilemma of division. King Ashoka was still alive. At that time, Buddhism had been divided into Theravada and Popular, and the two parts were divided again, and finally formed into 20 sects. After the decline of the Peacock Dynasty, Tianzhu split into countless small countries, and religious beliefs were also very complicated. Funan and its dependent countries are influenced by Tianzhu. Some believe in Brahmanism and Buddhism, but in general, there are still the most believers in Brahmanism.

King Chen Wugui is a believer of Brahmanism. I heard that Lin Yizhi knows everything about Buddhism and Brahmanism. He suddenly became interested and talked about politics. It's dangerous. Then there will be no problem for me to talk about faith, right?

"It's so good. Come on, I'll talk with you about the meaning of the Vedic scriptures."

Fan Jun sat in the side hall, and the more he sat, the more uneasy he became. He did not tell King Jin and Chen Wugui of the news of the annihmination of the Funan navy, so as not to cause the wavering of Wugui. However, he did not say that the envoy of Yue would definitely say it, so he asked Wugui to take it as soon as he saw the envoy of Yue without saying a word. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see the head of the messenger of Yue. In his heart There are some ominous feelings.

He immediately sent someone to inquire. Fan Man, the king of Funan, had wanted to attack Jin Chen for a long time. Of course, there were eyes and ears.

The news soon came back. King Jin Chen was talking about the Vedic scriptures with the envoy of Yue. The two talked awkwardly, because the translation was very unfamiliar with the Vedic scriptures, and the translation was full of mistakes.

Fan Jun was not in the mood to listen to this. He was very dissatisfied with the behavior of impunity. He snorted and got up and walked to the front hall. Since he was disobedient, he would come to make a decision for him to kill the Vietnamese envoy.

In the main hall, Wugui and Lin Yizhi were guessing each other's meaning. As soon as they saw Fan Jun coming in angrily, Wugui's face changed, and then his smile returned. Lin Yizhi guessed from the change in Wugui's face that the murderous man must be a man of Funan.

Fan Jun walked to Lin Yizhi, narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly. His thick knuckles clenched the handle of the knife, as if he could draw a knife to kill people at any time. Lin Yizhi's face did not change. Facing Fan Jun's eyes, he looked at him calmly.

"Kid, aren't you afraid of death?" Fan Jun gritted his teeth and said.

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Yizhi was happy: "This is the State of Jin and Chen. It's not your Funan Kingdom. King Jin and Chen is proficient in doctrine and compassionate. He will not be as angry as you in the State of Funan." He took a look behind Fan Jun and then said, "Besides, I'm a messenger, and you are also a messenger. Why should I be afraid of you? In terms of one-on-one martial arts, I really don't pay attention to you.

Fan Jun immediately became angry. He drew his knife and shouted, "Kid, draw your sword, I want to fight with you."
