The most famous thing in the Champa Kingdom is Champa Rice!
During the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, it was promoted from Fujian to Jianghuai, Liangzhe and other provinces.
It is said that its species came from the Champa Kingdom and got its name. It is early-growing, early-maturing, drought-resistant, and has fine grains. It is suitable for high-altitude fields and has a certain effect in preventing drought damage in the southeast.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the planting scope further expanded, and Jiangnan East and West Roads and Liangzhe Road were particularly popular. Champa rice and late rice are combined to form double-cropping rice, which greatly increases grain output.
This allowed the Southern Song Dynasty to support many people with very little land.
Champa rice has many characteristics. One is "drought tolerance". The second is strong adaptability and "no choice of place". Third, the growth period is short, with only more than fifty days from planting to harvest.
This thing is very common in the eyes of the Champa people, but it is priceless in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty people.
After hundreds of years of sowing, the rice seeds transported to the country during the Song Dynasty have lost their original appearance of Champa rice.
What made the people of Ming Dynasty crazy was that the rice they cultivated carefully could not grow better than the rice randomly thrown into the fields by the barbarians in Champa City.
The way Champa people grow rice is very simple. After throwing the seeds, they wait for more than fifty days to harvest.
So, when Jin Hu came to Champa State this time, one of the most important tasks was to regain the original seeds of Champa rice.
Although the Champa rice on the edge of the small lake was almost destroyed, some rice still survived tenaciously. Therefore, after seeing the rice mature, Jin Hu ordered his men to Harvest the rice.
Zhang Chun from Yushan Agricultural University regards these rice as precious as eyeballs.
If these rice crops in the south of the Ming Dynasty can show as strong vitality as the Champa City, then he will not feel any regrets even if he dies.
In fact, not everyone left this settlement.
Meng Shixian is a woman who is unwilling to leave her homeland.
She has no husband. After leaving this lake, she has no way to survive. Therefore, she has been taking a two-year-old boy to continue to cultivate the few fields she has.
When the Ming army came, she did not run or hide. When the Ming soldiers looked at his exposed skin outside his clothes, she did not show too much panic.
She knew what she would face next, so she sent the child into the house and stayed outside to wait for the upcoming tragic fate.
Meng Shixian is a dark-skinned woman, but her appearance is very good. One Ming army passed by her after another, and she could even feel the * in the eyes of the soldiers. *The flame is burning.
However, although these Ming soldiers all praised her figure and her beauty, no one left the team, caught her, and dragged her into the dense woods.
A man who looked like a low-level officer took out a handful of silver dollars from his arms and waved them in front of her eyes. The meaning was obvious. Before Meng Shixian agreed to the request for sex, the low-level officer was kicked by his superior. , kicking and moving forward.
"I just want to ask her to buy some food!"
Tian Chengwen roared in anger after being kicked.
The person who kicked him was a lieutenant.
"Are you going to buy sex or something? Do you think I'm blind?"
"I really want to buy food."
"There is no food in the army?"
"I don't want to eat canned food, I just want to eat fresh food."
Hearing this, the lieutenant came to Meng Shixian again and said; "Do you have food? If so, I'll buy it with silver dollars." As he spoke, he slapped a pile of silver dollars into Meng Shixian's hand.
The Cochin State uses silver, and so does the Champa State. Meng Shixian, who has lived on the border between Cochin and Champa State for a long time, naturally knows the role of silver, especially the silver coins with the printer's pattern, which are more valuable. It is more than a rough silver ingot.
There was never any shortage of rice in Meng Shixian's family, so she boldly took the silver coins and took the lieutenant behind a big banyan tree.
Perhaps it can be said that a big banyan tree here is actually a forest, with dense aerial roots hanging down from the banyan tree. It will not take long for these aerial roots to grow quickly. Grow into a new banyan tree.
These banyan trees grew entangled with each other, growing close to each other. Eventually, one banyan tree turned into a forest of banyan trees, and they could no longer distinguish each other.
Behind the banyan forest, there was a complete bamboo building. Meng Shixian used a bamboo pen to poke hard on the first floor of the bamboo building, and a lot of dry rice fell into it. in the bamboo basket.
The lieutenant was very excited. The rice was dry and fresh. It looked like new rice that had been harvested not long ago. His hand was already on the handle of the knife, but he quickly let go of the handle. He asked Meng Shixian, pointing to the rice in the basket.
"All these rices belong to you?"
Meng Shixian nodded. Although she didn't understand what the lieutenant said, she was very smart and understood that the lieutenant was asking her. What words.
The lieutenant took out two cans of meat from his backpack and handed them to Meng Shixian: "This is a reward for you. If you can help us find more new rice, I will have more." I'll give you a lot of silver."
As he spoke, the lieutenant took out a pile of silver coins from his arms and pointed at the rice, and then pointed at Meng Shixian.
The lieutenant saw Meng Shixian's two-year-old son. He opened the can of meat on the spot and signaled that Meng Shixian and her son could eat immediately.
Eating is a skill that everyone must possess. At this point, it doesn’t even take much for everyone to understand what it means.
The delicious canned meat completely conquered Meng Shixian’s mother and son. She returned the silver dollar to the lieutenant and pointed to the canned meat she had just eaten.He murmured his request to the lieutenant.
Then, the lieutenant exchanged ten cans of meat for millet from the Meng family.
The lieutenant felt very guilty. He felt like a liar. He exchanged ten cans for five thousand kilograms of rice... no, rice seeds!
After this incident, the lieutenant seemed to have discovered a new way to conquer the Champa people. He even felt that the power of canned meat seemed to be more powerful than the power of artillery.
So, he did a lot of experiments with canned meat... From taking prisoners, defeating people and winning people's hearts, to using canned meat to hire mercenary guides, and finally exchanging canned meat for a large amount of rice.
"A can of meat can be exchanged for a little girl, or a pig!"
"I exchanged a can of meat for a load of rice.
" This is bullshit. I slept with a woman for three days using a meat can. ”
When Jin Hu discovered that his subordinates had bought a village with a handful of candies, he began to rethink the Ming Dynasty’s occupation of the city and whether the brutal rule of Jiaozhi was necessary.
“The formation of a national concept is a very advanced concept. It was only in our Ming Dynasty that the national concept really began to be implemented. I don’t believe that these savage countries would form a national concept so quickly.
I am more willing to believe that the basis for the rule of the country by King Poasu of Champa is actually - forceful suppression! Make others afraid of him so that they dare not resist. ”
“This is state terrorism. Azhao has said this way of rule a long time ago. It is easy to break this way of rule. That is-defeat Poasu and let Champa The people of the country saw that the people they feared in the past were actually nothing more than a puddle of mud.
Break all the auras on him, such as divine auras, invincible auras, voodoo auras, and divinely inspired auras.
When these auras are completely stripped away, Poasu will immediately humble himself into the dust. "
After discussing it clearly with Yun Shu, Jin Hu decided to give up suppressing the nearby people and began to persistently deal with the upcoming war with Po Asu.
The beautifully decorated war elephant When it rushed out of the woods like an overwhelming force, the golden tiger did not run away.
This seemed very strange to Po Asu. He even thought that his invincible war elephant had frightened the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Boasu, holding a halberd in his hand, sat on the back of a huge Asian bull elephant, shouting "Halala" while dancing and jumping on the elephant's back.
Jin Hu put down the fire gun in his hand...the distance was too far, and the fire gun could not hit Po Asu.
Yun Shu laughed and said: "This earth king will not think that. , War elephants are really invincible, right? "
Jin Hu said: "In the battles with Siam, Nanzhang, and Cochin people, the war elephants played an unimaginable role, so you have to allow Bo Asu to think this way. ”
While the two were chatting, the war elephants lined upThe platoon was already approaching the trench dug by the Ming army.
This trench is very wide and it is impossible for war elephants to cross it.
The trenches are also very deep. Once a war elephant falls into a trench, it is basically impossible to climb up on its own strength.
"Halala..."
Boasu, who is wearing a feather crown, stands on the elephant's forehead with his feet on the elephant's neck, and opens his arms, like a The appearance of a god.
Not only Poasu looks like this, but the nobles riding on the elephants also stand majestically on the huge head of the Asian elephant, waving their halberds, and some even Pull the bow and shoot arrows, and send the arrows to the array of heavily armed Minghuo gunmen.
Yun Shu threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, picked up the firecracker and said to Jin Hu: "Leave the elephant and end the battle as soon as possible so that we can enter Champa as soon as possible. I hope that this earth king's family will be safe." Something worth checking out.
Bang! "
Golden Tiger pulled the trigger, and a Champa nobleman with the most gorgeous clothes, the most exaggerated movements, and the fastest elephant under his seat fell off the elephant like a butterfly. , and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the violent elephant herd.
The sound of the fire blunderbuss fired by the Ming army was not dense, but because they were all selected from the best, every one of them was fired. The gunmen who are qualified to shoot are all sharpshooters.
There are four people on the platform carried on the back of an elephant, a general, three retinues, three retinues, and two backs. A crossbowman armed with a bow and arrow, the general holds a three-foot-long halberd and is responsible for harvesting the lives of the enemy in close combat.
"Halala..."
Behind the war elephant herd, there are also soldiers. Followed by a group of strangely dressed people, with their faces painted in white paint into various ferocious looks, they sang and danced, fearlessly following the war elephants, and attacked the Ming army while dancing.
