Sultana's deadly scissor kick is indeed powerful, but Zhu Ying is no pushover either.
What Zhu Ying did not expect was that Sultana hoped that the Ming Dynasty would mediate the war between the two countries rather than send troops to assist Zhenla.
It seems that this cheap brother-in-law has great ambitions.
He had obviously felt the corruption left over from the six hundred years of Zhenla rule and wanted to change the law and carry out reforms.
With the help of other countries and the Ming Dynasty, the cleaning of Zhenla was completed.
I just don't know if I can succeed.
"Don't you want Xiao Wenzhen to become the king of Zhenla in the future?"
Zhu Ying naturally still remembered his original promise. After all, he had promised it to several concubines. This was also the future policy of the Ming Dynasty towards overseas vassal kings.
Except for little Wencheng, all of these sons will be sent to the Ming Military Academy to gain experience when they grow up a little.
How can a prince who can't command troops be a good prince?
"Maybe my elder brother can manage Zhenla well." Sultana said after a slight hesitation.
Zhu Ying nodded, with no intention of forcing her.
Some things are hard to say now, and in the end it is not Sultana's turn to decide.
Xiaowen is still young. When he grows up, he may have his own pursuits.
"Since you have made up your mind, I'll listen to you." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
Hearing this, Sultana felt that the man in front of her really loved her.
In this case, the response will of course be more violent.
At this moment, Zhu Ying was in the wind and rain, and Lan Yu, who was thousands of miles away, was also in the wind and rain.
The heavy rain poured down in the primeval jungle, and the dense trees made it impossible to see anything.
Thousands of Ming soldiers were lurking less than 500 meters away from the enemy.
In the rain, Lan Yu looked coldly at the Siamese soldiers on duty in front of him.
As for the cities in Nanyang, they are usually only located in plains. It is difficult to build city walls in jungles like these.
Lan Yu touched the scar on his face.
This was the injury he suffered two months ago when Siam raided Cambodia.
The sharp arrow came straight at Lan Yu's face. He had no time to react and dodge. He tilted his head slightly, and the arrow broke through his left cheek, leaving a long mark.
The siege of one hundred thousand people caught Lan Yu off guard.
Under such circumstances, Lan Yu could only escape desperately.
Fortunately, these Siamese troops were not strong enough and were broken out by Lan Yu after leaving behind thousands of corpses.
However, this time, out of the 14,000 people, only 8,000 were left alive.
A total of 6,000 veterans died in this siege.
What a shame!
Lan Yu had fought wars all his life, but had never suffered such a defeat.
There is no need to say more. The surviving soldiers had murderous intent in their eyes.
This is not a failure, it's just an accident.
However, this accident claimed the lives of 6,000 soldiers and almost killed himself.
Because he was preparing to go to Angkor to discuss matters with the King of Chenla, and it was a congratulation.
Firstly, he brought a lot of gifts, which was also the intention of the crown prince.
Secondly, they didn't bring many people or firearms with them, and most of them were left on the ship. After all, they didn't come here to fight.
All we can say is that Siam had no moral principles and launched a surprise attack.
Fortunately, Lan Yu survived.
Naturally, all the gifts that were originally intended to congratulate the King of Zhenla were lost.
For Lan Yu now, the best option is to return to Ming Dynasty and then ask the Crown Prince to send troops.
But all this going back and forth, plus the military preparations, would take at least half a year.
How could a proud person like Lan Yu accept that after suffering such a great loss, he had to endure at least six months before taking revenge?
Lan Yu returned to the ship with the remaining soldiers and, after mobilizing his troops, launched a frenzied revenge against Siam.
"Duke, the rain is getting lighter."
Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen walked up to Lan Yu and said.
Lan Yu nodded: "Notify the brothers to prepare, and when the rain stops, the whole army will attack."
In front of the army was a Siamese military camp.
Lan Yu had already taken down three military camps like this and was already familiar with the route.
The rain stopped and the massacre began.
Dozens of cannons that had been wrapped in oilcloth were carried out.
The distance of three hundred meters put most of the military camp within the range.
The dense woods were the best cover, and in the heavy rain, those patrolling Siamese were nothing but a joke in front of Lan Yu's elite scouts.
The number of people in the military camp began to increase, and it seemed that they came out to do work because the rain had stopped.
The sentry seemed to have discovered something was wrong and started shouting loudly.
The military camp seemed to be shaken, and Lan Yu could see many men gathering with weapons.
Maybe the sentinel's death was discovered.
But it's too late now.
"All troops, listen up! Fire!"
Lan Yu shouted sternly.
The next moment, a rumbling sound resounded throughout the rainforest.
Dozens of artillery pieces fired at the military camp.
The truth is what is within the range of the cannon.
This is a crushing blow from the level of civilization.
The Ayutthaya Dynasty also had firearms and cannons, but they were equipped in the ace troops, not in the military camps near the border.
The wooden structure could not withstand the bombardment of artillery. There were about several thousand people in this military camp.
The military system of the Ayutthaya Dynasty is somewhat similar to the Wei Suo system of the Ming Dynasty.
A military camp with several thousand people cultivated land and was self-sufficient.
It greatly reduced the burden on the Ayutthaya Dynasty and enabled the development of the army on a large scale.
The founder of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, King Uthong Ramati Bodhi, was the king of Rahu and not a native of Siam.
After conquering Ayutthaya, the capital was moved here.
The military camp system made the Ayutthaya Dynasty extremely powerful, but it also contained huge hidden dangers.
When the Ayutthaya Dynasty was first established, it basically inherited the political system of the Sukhothai Dynasty, with no distinction between military and civil affairs and decentralized central power.
Many military camps were more like small autonomous countries.
The reason why he can remain powerful now is naturally due to the personal majesty of King Uthong Ramati Bodhi.
However, King Ramati Bodhi of Uthong, who was a few years older than Zhu Yuanzhang and had entered old age, obviously would not live long.
…
Ayutthaya City.
The prosperity here is beyond imagination, and it is even more lively than Champa near the Ming Dynasty.
King Ramati Bodhi of Uthong was very far-sighted and moved the capital here.
The development and growth of Ayutthaya benefited from the favorable environment in which it was located, and King Uthong was good at learning from the surrounding countries and nations and establishing a system that was suitable for its development.
When he was still the king of Luohu Kingdom, King Wutong yearned for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, because here, the most valuable things were high-end luxury goods such as porcelain and silk from the Ming Dynasty.
These goods from the Ming Dynasty are almost directly equivalent to gold and silver.
When the envoys arrived, it was the third year of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, which was the third year of Hongwu.
When the envoys, who had stayed in the Ming Dynasty for two years, returned to their country, they were given a high-level reception by King Uthong.
The envoys also recorded many of the customs, systems and rules of the Ming Dynasty.
The military camp system already had some rudiments, but King Uthong did not copy it, but instead made some improvements based on local conditions.
Ayutthaya became even more powerful after the pressure on the army was relieved.
The middle and lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River where Ayutthaya is located is a place where the cultures of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia converge, and it is also a trade center in Southeast Asia.
Here, a large number of nationalities gather.
Merchants dragging goods and slaves tied in chains can be seen everywhere.
The soldiers of the royal capital patrolled the surroundings to maintain law and order.
Various ethnic languages were heard all around, but even if you listened carefully you had no idea what was being said.
Traveling merchants often know several languages. They may not be proficient in them, but at least they can communicate in simple terms.
Around Ayutthaya, there have long been various countries influenced by Indian culture.
To the east are Chenla and Champa, and to the west is the Burmese regime of Myanmar after the collapse of the Pagan Dynasty.
To the north is Sukhothai, to the south is the Mon state, and across the sea are Srivijaya and Malacca.
Being able to develop in such an environment has a lot to do with Ramati Bodhi.
now.
The top floor pagoda of the palace.
Ramati Bodhi lay on a chair, watching the lively scene below.
When he had nothing to do, he liked to come here to admire the country he created.
The Kingdom of Lahu was a country established by the Khmer people hundreds of years ago. When it was powerful, it had many vassal states.
More than two hundred years ago, it was conquered by the more powerful Zhenla.
After Zhenla weakened, the Luohu Kingdom took the opportunity to break away from Zhenla and become independent.
The reason why Ramati Bodhi migrated was because of the cholera epidemic in the old capital of Wutong.
Of course, in reality, the cholera was caused by Ramati Bodhi himself.
His intention to migrate was opposed by a large number of old nobles. After all, the Luohu Kingdom had a history of hundreds of years in Wutong City, and the local nobles had extensive influence here.
The reason why Ramati Bodhi wanted to relocate the capital was also because he wanted to strike down the noble corrupts.
And his confidence comes from his father-in-law.
His father-in-law was a governor of the Sukhothai Dynasty.
Today's Sukhothai Dynasty is gradually declining after the death of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great.
The position of the prefect is that of a warlord.
With the support of his father-in-law, Ramati Bodhi had enough money and sufficient military force, which gave him the confidence to carry out reforms.
As we all know, no matter in which region or dynasty, reforms will have a huge impact.
For example, Shang Yang's Reforms in Qin laid the foundation for Qin to annihilate the six kingdoms.
The essence of reform is to break the influence of old forces and form new forces.
The same is true for Ramati Bodhi Raja.
The emergence of cholera gave Ramati Bodhi the opportunity to migrate successfully, but many stubborn conservative nobles unfortunately died in the cholera.
Ayutthaya was the city governed by Ramati Bodhi's father-in-law.
His father-in-law also had extremely strong power in the Sukhothai Dynasty. The weak Sukhothai Dynasty was obviously unable to attack Ayutthaya.
His father-in-law supported him, perhaps because he wanted to find a backer or a subordinate.
However, after his father-in-law's death, Ramati Bodhi seized the army, money and land belonging to his father-in-law.
Ramati Bodhi is of Khmer descent and his father-in-law is Thai.
After integrating the power of his father-in-law, Ayutthaya had many more Thai high-ranking officials.
This made many Khmer nobles unhappy.
In the former city of Wutong, the remaining nobles re-supported a king, who was a branch of the kingdom's bloodline, or, in the language of the Ming Dynasty, a bastard's son.
Obviously, the new King Uthong would not obey Ramati Bodhi's orders, and even accused Ramati Bodhi of violating the warnings of his ancestors.
The blood of the son he gave birth to was no longer pure.
Ramati Bodhi had no ethnic prejudice. As long as one had talent and was willing to submit to him, he could be given important positions.
In such a comparison, it is obvious that the new King Uthong is far behind him.
Ramati Bodhi's army easily captured the city of Uthong and killed a large number of conservative Khmer nobles and the new Queen of Uthong, which meant the Khmer rule in central and southern Siam came to an end.
"Your Majesty."
The sound of a voice interrupted Ramati Bodhi's good mood, which made him frown slightly, but when he heard the familiar voice, he relaxed again.
Turning around and looking at the minister who was holding his hands together, Ramati Bodhi said intimately: "My most valued minister, do you have anything you want to report to me?"
The minister replied, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Liang of the Ming Dynasty is constantly attacking our military camps. By the time I report this to Your Majesty, he has already destroyed four military camps."
"Perhaps we should teach him a lesson and let him know that the powerful Ayutthaya Dynasty cannot be violated."
Ramati Bodhi's tightly furrowed brows frowned again.
This is what annoys him the most now.
"You should step down first."
Ramati Bodhi did not respond.
Upon hearing this, the minister knelt down and bowed again before leaving.
He knew that His Majesty the King had not yet figured out how to deal with the matter regarding the Duke of Liang of the Ming Dynasty.
"Maybe I should teach him a lesson."
Ramati Bodhi looked down at the prosperity of the city again, but he no longer had the good mood he had before.
The interests in the Strait of Malacca and Malacca were expelled by the Ming Dynasty. Although there were some losses, this had little impact on Ramati Bodhi.
The Ming navy’s deterrent power at sea was too strong.
Just by looking at the huge treasure ship, people would lose the idea of fighting against it.
The powerful Ming Dynasty asserted its dominance over the sea, and Ramati Bodhi had no way to stop it.
Even if he united with all the coastal countries such as Chenla, Champa, and Malacca, Ramati Bodhi could not see any hope of victory.
The Ming Dynasty was too powerful.
Today, the official bulletins of the Ming Dynasty capital are selling well overseas, allowing nobles of many countries to finally unveil a corner of the mysterious veil of the ancient Eastern Empire.
However, Ramati Bodhi felt that it was better not to watch such things.
The original understanding of the Ming Dynasty was just that it was powerful.
As for how powerful it is, this feeling is very vague.
Many countries hide their military strength, territory, and money.
This will allow them to better deal with other countries.
However, the Ming Dynasty printed the size of the territory it controlled and the number of its troops in the official gazette, and distributed it throughout the country and even overseas.
There is no worry at all about arousing the greed of other countries.
Almost all the kings and nobles who had read the Ming Dynasty's gazette, including Ramati Bodhi, felt fear.
The power of the Ayutthaya Dynasty was significant in the Nanyang region.
In fact, the entire Ayutthaya Dynasty had a population of about two million and a military force of about 200,000.
And what about the Ming Dynasty?
The population is 80 million and the military force is 2 million.
The difference in military strength is ten times, and the difference in population is forty times.
Ramati Bodhi knew very well that there was some water in his 200,000 troops, while the 2 million troops of the Ming Dynasty were probably very weak.
The population support ratio is a very important thing.
For Ayutthaya, it was equivalent to ten people supporting one soldier.
The military strength is one-tenth of the population, which is a relatively normal and healthy support relationship.
In some countries that claim that every citizen is a soldier, the population support ratio can even reach one-fifth.
This naturally includes the elderly, women and children.
Moreover, in reality, the nobles and kings also extracted wealth from it.
In contrast, the Ming Dynasty had forty people to support one soldier, which made it seem very wealthy.
After seeing the contents of the newspaper, Ramati Bodhi thought for a moment that there was a translation error.
But I found many people who understand Chinese characters and confirmed that this is the normal translation.
We also learned from the envoys that there were more than two million people living in Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, the capital of the Ming Dynasty alone was equivalent to the entire Ayutthaya Dynasty.
"He ruined my plan and saved Zhenla. I need to teach him a lesson."
Ramati Bodhi took a wrong decision.
This stems from its wrong information.
Ramati Bodhi sent his eldest son to join forces with Malacca.
He is old, and perhaps in a few years he will go to the Western Paradise to meet the Buddha.
The Ayutthaya dynasty needed a new king.
Therefore, such merits should be left to the son.
After the plan to launch a surprise attack on the capital of Zhenla failed, His Royal Highness the Prince did not know that it was the Ming army before he besieged Lan Yu.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret.
The generals of Malacca were obviously also afraid of this.
So after the two of them discussed it, the prince told Ramati Bodhi that it was the Ming army that attacked them first and they were just fighting back.
Of course, the prince did not say how many Ming soldiers they killed or how much money they seized.
In fact, after the action took place, the prince and the Malacca generals discovered that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Therefore, they planned to wipe out this Ming army.
Unfortunately, they were finally broken through.
…
Malacca.
The Malacca army, which failed to complete the surprise attack, naturally would not follow the Ayutthaya army, but retreated to Malacca.
This made the King of Malacca very unhappy, and he severely reprimanded the general who led the army.
But that’s all.
This was obviously not good news for Malacca, which had once again offended the Ming army.
The nobles were so emotional that the king's rule was shaken. They believed that joining forces with the Ayutthaya Dynasty to attack Zhenla was an extremely wrong decision and might even lead to the destruction of the country.
The king of Malacca was called Parameswara.
Wearing a silk robe, Parameswara came to the queen.
"Your opinion is wrong, and now my throne is in great turmoil."
"Many nobles have expressed dissatisfaction. Perhaps this did not matter in the past, but now the Ming navy has firmly controlled the strait."
"Those greedy Ming people completely ate up all the benefits on the Straits, leaving us nothing at all."
"Their brutal behavior left us with no way to deal with it. We had no choice but to acknowledge their strength."
"If they were to fight us, even if they were to win, it would bring incalculable losses to the kingdom."
Parameswara questioned with anger in his tone.
The situation in Malacca was somewhat different from most. The queen also controlled a large amount of the military and politics, and could be said to be the largest noble in the country besides the king.
The relationship here also involves the Majapahit Kingdom.
Majapahit was one of the most powerful kingdoms in Southeast Asian history.
And now is the period when Majapahit is at its most powerful.
Most of later Malaysia and Indonesia are now under the rule of Majapahit.
The queen of Parameswara was a princess of the Majapahit royal family.
She brought a lot of dowry, which included not only a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also an army of 20,000 people.
"There is nothing wrong with the plan to attack the capital of Zhenla. If there had been no interference from the Ming army, Zhenla would have been taken down by now."
"You are the king of Malacca. You should not lose your dignity as a king because of the failure of a war. This would be ridiculous to me."
"The Ming army is invincible on the sea, but not on land. Besides, you sent 40,000 men, plus Ayutthaya's troops, a total of 100,000 men."
"The Ming army's appearance is definitely not to start a war. If that were the case, your army would not have lost just a few thousand soldiers, but would have been completely wiped out there."
"You should ask your general why you failed, instead of blaming the failure on a woman like me."
The queen's tone was very strong, which came from the fact that she was a princess of Majapahit.
She now looks down upon King Parameswara.
When Parameswara was a prince of Palembang, Srivijaya, he went to the capital of Majapahit and the queen was attracted by his handsomeness.
It’s just that some things only feel good when viewed from a distance. If you’re too close, you won’t feel the same as before.
The original Malacca was not called Malacca.
On the land of Malacca was the Malay Kingdom established by the indigenous people.
During the time of Iskunda Shah, the last king of the Malay Kingdom, the Prime Minister was Ranshan Ranjuna Dobo.
The king had a conflict with the prime minister, and Iskundasha killed Dobo's daughter to demonstrate his rule as king.
Because the Prime Minister resented the king for killing his daughter, he wrote a letter to the King of Majapahit, asking him to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Malaya.
This time, Majapahit sent hundreds of large and small ships, carrying an army said to be as many as 200,000 troops to attack the Malay Kingdom.
When their army arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Malaya, the Prime Minister secretly opened the city gates and let the enemy in. As a result, the people of Malaya were brutally killed by the enemy, blood flowed like a river, and the Prime Minister's family was also killed in the chaos.
After being defeated, Iskunda Shah had to flee to the Malay Peninsula with his remaining soldiers.
The Majapahit army left a monument at the mouth of the Malay Kingdom, looted a lot of treasures, and then returned to Java.
The prosperous Malayan Kingdom fell into decline. Although King Iskunda Shah returned from the Malay Peninsula, he died soon after.
When Majapahit's army returned to Java, King Uthong Mathibodhi sensed an opportunity. After all, the land of the Ayutthaya Dynasty was connected to the Kingdom of Malaya through the Malay Peninsula.
King Iskunda Shah had no heir, so the Malay Kingdom was effectively cut off from succession.
There was apparently no resistance against the Ayutthaya army.
After conquering this place, Ramati Bodhi appointed a chief to govern the area.
For Ramati Bodhi, the greater threat to the Ayutthaya Dynasty came from the Sukhothai Dynasty in the north and Chenla.
At this time, the prince of Palembang, Parameswara, was driven out of Palembang by the Majapahit army because he refused to pay tribute to the Majapahit dynasty.
Parameswara fled with his troops to the area that was once the Kingdom of Malaya.
After arriving here, Parameswara was warmly welcomed by the chief.
But soon, in order to occupy this place, Parameswara assassinated the local chief.
This incident immediately aroused Ramati Bodhi's dissatisfaction.
He then dispatched troops from Pahang on the Malay Peninsula to attack Parameswara.
Obviously, Parameswara was unable to fight back and could only escape in disgrace.
At this time, Parameswara finally faced the reality and remembered the princess he had met in Majapahit.
So she went to propose to the King of Majapahit.
And that princess, now the queen, was apparently obsessed with Parameswara, whom she had met before.
Parameswara successfully obtained the support of Majapahit.
She helped Parameswara successfully recapture the present-day Malacca region, and Parameswara was able to establish the Malacca Sultanate.
But later the queen discovered that beneath this seemingly mighty body, there was a cowardly, timid and lustful person.
Of course, the most crucial thing is that Parameswara has been addicted to alcohol and sex for a long time, which has caused his figure to become out of shape and he has become fat. He is no longer as handsome as before.
Otherwise, even if it was just for looks, the queen would be willing to indulge.
Parameswara was obviously shocked by these words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The queen looked down on Parameswara, but since she had offended the Ming Dynasty, it was a problem she had to face.
"The Ming army in the Strait is invincible at sea, but not necessarily on land. Their manpower is limited and they will not attack us recklessly. Even if they do, they will have to mobilize more troops from the Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, if the Ming army takes action, our Majapahit Kingdom will not sit idly by. After all, the loss of the strait has also caused great losses to Majapahit."
"What you are afraid of now is the powerful Ming Empire behind these Ming troops."
"Don't worry about those nobles. I will convince them that they should be more wary of Majapahit, which is right in front of them, than the more distant Ming Dynasty."
The queen said confidently.
Hearing this, Parameswara obviously felt relieved.
Just now, he was just worried that his throne would be overthrown by angry nobles, even though he controlled a large army.
"Strange, why would such a Ming army appear in Zhenla? Could it be because they discovered our army?"
"It's impossible, how could they find out?" Bayrimisura said with some confusion.
Malacca was connected to the Ayutthaya Empire by land, and across the Strait of Malacca in the south was the area ruled by Majapahit.
How could the Ming army know what was happening in the north of Malacca?
The queen shook her head slightly and said, "I'm afraid this is really just an accident."
"Princess Sultana of Zhenla married the most famous grandson of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Ming Empire is already very old, and the grandson has a very strong influence in the Ming Dynasty."
"It is said that the entire Ming navy is completely loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The so-called Ming army is probably not an army, but just an envoy sent by the Ming crown prince to Zhenla."
Parameswara exclaimed: "That is an army of over 10,000 people. How could it be an envoy? You have to know that we have 100,000 troops in alliance with the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and the enemy killed nearly 20,000 of us with only 10,000 people."
"And then they broke through and left in the end. How could such a powerful army be just a delegation?"
The queen said disdainfully, "You short-sighted fellow, have you never read the Ming court bulletin? They have an army of two million. When the envoys went to Zhenla, in order to show the strength of the Ming, they brought 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers as a guard of honor. Isn't this hard to understand?"
Parameswara was speechless.
He is indeed difficult to understand.
In her heart, the queen looked down on him even more.
At this moment, the queen suddenly thought of the crown prince.
It is said that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was very fond of beautiful women. Among his concubines were princesses from Annan, Champa, Goryeo, Japan, and the current princess of Zhenla.
It would be great if I were younger. I am the princess of Majapahit. These small countries can never compare with me.
What a happy thing it would be to marry the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
He would definitely be willing to do anything for me.
Suddenly, the queen woke up with a start.
He was horrified and said, "If this is really an envoy to Zhenla, that would be terrible."
Parameswara didn't understand what was going on, so he asked, "What's going on?"
The queen's face turned serious and ugly, and she said, "Perhaps we should contact the governor of Sumatra as soon as possible to help us deal with the threat from the Ming Dynasty."
No one understands the threat posed by the Ming Dynasty better than the queen.
As a princess of Majapahit, she knew very well the reasons why Majapahit was established.
During the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, there was no Majapahit Kingdom at that time, and the kingdom on Java Island was the new Kosari Kingdom.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan sent envoys to the new Kesali Kingdom.
Obviously, Kublai Khan, who had just gained control of the Central Plains, was very powerful, and his envoys were also very powerful. However, the king of the new Kosali Kingdom did not think that the so-called Mongols were so powerful.
After all, in that period, there were no official bulletins like today’s Ming Dynasty, and they did not understand how powerful the Mongols were.
In the king's view, the so-called Mongol envoy was simply bragging about how powerful his country was.
At first, King Gertanagara endured it and established friendly relations with the Mongols.
At that time, Kublai Khan, in order to demonstrate the power of his Mongol Empire, required all kings of vassal states or royal family members to pay homage to Yuan Dadu.
King Goltanagara was unwilling to go, so he rejected the envoy.
The arrogant envoy said that the Mongols would definitely send a large army to conquer the New Kosali Kingdom, and that any man taller than the wheel would be killed and their women would be taken as slaves.
This irritated King Gurtanagara.
So, the king killed these Mongol envoys who were disrespectful to him.
Kublai Khan was stunned when he got the news. How dare you, a small island country, kill the envoys of the great Mongol Empire? This is simply lawless.
But for the Mongols, killing their envoys was an unforgivable sin.
So Kublai Khan sent a powerful navy straight to the new Kosali Kingdom.
The king of the New Kosali Kingdom's son-in-law, Lodenvijaya, defected to the Yuan army after their arrival and helped them destroy the New Kosali Kingdom.
After using the Yuan army to destroy his new Kosari Kingdom, he turned the tables, drove the Yuan army back to the Mongols, and established the Majapahit Kingdom.
During this period, the Mongol navy suffered a major defeat in its expedition against Japan, and Annan was unwilling to surrender.
Therefore, the decision was made to put Java, a remote and isolated country, on hold for the time being.
And this suspension never came back.
Majapahit has made great progress in the past hundred years.
Majapahit reached its peak during the reign of King Hayam Buluk, but King Buluk had died ten years earlier.
He died in the 22nd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
This is also why the queen was nervous.
Because she was worried that Malacca would repeat the mistakes of the New Kosali Kingdom.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Queen.” Parameswara said respectfully.
Looking at Parameswara's expression, the queen nodded and said, "Arrange a carriage for me tomorrow, and I will go to the Governor of Sumatra in person."
Parameswara said yes repeatedly.
After a while, the queen frowned and said, "Why are you still here? Leave my bedroom."
Bayrimisula showed an angry and frustrated look, and finally snorted coldly and turned away.
The queen looked at Parameswara with only disdain.
But she forgot that Parameswara, who was able to establish the Malacca Sultanate, could not be a simple person.
Parameswara, who had left the queen, had clear eyes.
His body straightened slightly, and all the cowardice and timidity he had just felt disappeared.
He glanced at the queen's palace and just smiled coldly.
Next to him, a minister who had been waiting came over.
"Your Majesty, doesn't the Queen suspect anything?" asked the minister.
He was Parameswara's confidant and knew a lot of things.
Bailimisura chuckled and said, "What can she know? Apart from being smart, all she has in her mind is those male beauties."
"I can tolerate her keeping a few concubines in the palace, but I cannot tolerate her having an affair with the governor of Sumatra. I guess they have already figured out how to seize my throne."
At this point, Parameswara asked, "Have you seen all my princes?"
The minister replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third princess are all under our surveillance. Their guards have already expressed their submission to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, they will all be killed at the first opportunity."
Parameswara nodded.
The queen gave birth to two princes and a daughter.
Parameswara had no idea whether his own offspring were among them, so after he fell out with the queen, he simply killed them all.
At least he could be sure that the eldest prince was definitely not his own child.
Because when the queen was captured, she became pregnant immediately.
The eldest prince was born at only six months old.
The doctor said it was due to premature birth, but Bayrimisula is not a fool. You fat boy, who are you trying to fool by telling me it was premature birth?
He said that when he proposed to the king of Majapahit, the king decided to marry his daughter to him so quickly. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
Of course, he didn't care about all this. As long as Majapahit decided to help him, it wouldn't matter.
He once heard that the queen's private life in Majapahit was very chaotic. Because the Malacca Dynasty had just been established and there were many things to do, she was a little negligent.
It was later discovered that the queen was having an affair with her own minister.
This was something Parameswara could not tolerate.
The Governor of Sumatra met with the queen many times frequently. No one would believe that there was no problem.
It is really hard to tell whether the second prince and the third princess belong to him, the many ministers, or the Majapahit governor in Sumatra.
Parameswara felt that the queen herself probably didn't know.
"The queen will cross the strait tomorrow, and I will send her across. You should contact Xu Cheng, the left deputy commander of the Ming navy. I will go to meet him after the queen crosses the sea tomorrow."
