Chapter 2263: The Trembling Champa

Wang Bian saluted very standardly, but Fang Xing did not feel the neatness of the army.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Fang Xing just said casually, and then began to read the imperial edict.

Wang He's sharp voice echoed at the dock, and Fang Xing was observing these people.

Champa's Lai looked very pious, which was a good sign.

Other Champa people were very well-behaved.

Chen Zhongren was listening to the imperial edict with almost fear and trepidation, which was in line with the reaction of a scholar who was still in shock.

The young lady and daughter were also listening to the imperial edict, but they were not afraid.

Yes, they received the imperial edict of praise almost every year, and they were no longer afraid.

But Wang Bian was a little absent-minded.

After the imperial edict was read, everyone thanked him and went to rest.

Fang Xing was arranged in a new house. The four sides of the house were painted, and even the bed was new, which showed that the Champa people were really attentive.

When Fang Xing arrived, the first person he summoned was Wang Bian.

Wang Bian was a little nervous, and stood after saluting.

Fang Xing looked at him and said slowly, "I heard that you want to be transferred back?"

Wang Bian did not dare to hide it. In addition, he had been in Champa for several years, which was long past the time limit that his superiors had said. So he felt a little wronged and said, "My Lord, I am guilty."

"Do you know the importance of Champa?"

Wang Bian nodded and said, "My Lord, I know."

"Champa is the first stop for the Ming Dynasty to leave, and the last stop for foreign enemies to invade. We hired you because you are steady, and then let you stay in Champa for an extended period because... the situation has changed!"

Wang Bian knelt down and said, "My Lord, I have complaints, please punish me."

Fang Xing actually explained it to him in person. Regardless of whether the situation really changed, Wang Bian could only be grateful.

Otherwise, Fang Xing only needed to use his status as an earl to suppress Wang Bian, and Wang Bian would have to obey even if he didn't want to, and he would have to be suppressed in the future.

Fang Xing didn't ask him to get up, and continued, "The Western envoy is on the ship, understand?"

Wang Bian didn't understand. At his level, he didn't know the contradiction between the court and the Western envoy, so he was at a loss.

Fang Xing sighed, knowing that this man was probably like this in the army.

Martial arts constantly sent officers to the army. These officers had systematically studied martial arts, and their strategic vision was a hundred times stronger than Wang Bian.

Without strategic vision, there would be no chance of promotion, and this aspect would only become more and more strict in the future.

"Taixi and we are not on the same path, understand? They have always wanted to come and see..."

...

Doc and others were also brought out, which was unexpected.

"Aren't they afraid that we will see these places?"

Doc was looking at the sea, the land, and those people almost greedily.

Abel was also looking, and said randomly: "It's warm here. If His Highness is willing to give me this land, I will create countless wealth here."

Henry quickly looked at the surrounding terrain, and then looked at the fleet gradually approaching the shore.

He was counting the number, but under the cover of the sails, he could not see the ships behind.

All the way to the resettlement place, the environment was not bad, but there were not enough good rooms, and the dozens of people in the delegation were not enough to arrange, so they could only live in low houses.

As soon as we entered, there were people guarding outside, and they were Ming soldiers.

"They no longer conceal their hostility towards us, which is really sad."

Abel collapsed on the ground as soon as he entered, feeling sore all over his body.

"So what?"

Doc said disdainfully: "They didn't attack us, which means they are not sure, and this is the biggest gain of our trip."

Henry also encouraged Abel calmly: "Yes, that's right, the Ming people don't have the confidence to defeat us after joining forces, so Abel, you have to cheer up."

Abel got up, clapped his hands, glanced at the Ming army outside, and said: "He sent people to watch us, because he was afraid that we would see the situation along the way."

"No, he is more afraid that we will come into contact with those natives."

Doc was using charcoal to record the news he thought was important.

"So what can we see along the way?"

The three were frustrated. Duoke put down the charcoal pencil and said, "At least we can know what land there is along the way from Ming Dynasty to us. This is important news."

...

"We must strengthen patrols and report any suspicious fleets immediately."

Fang Xing was explaining the rules of Champa from then on, and Wang remembered them one by one. Later, Fang Xing called Wang Helai.

Liu Pu and Chen Mo also came. Fang Xing said, "Tell Lai from Zhanba that we should always pay attention to foreign ships in the future. If we find any, go to our people to confirm."

Wang He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid that they will rebel?"

"They dare not."

After Fang Xing finished speaking, he saw that Wang He was a little hesitant, so he said, "When the Ming Dynasty was strong, they did not dare. When the Ming Dynasty was weak, they not only dared, but also dared to follow. Therefore, being strong is the foundation."

Wang He said solemnly, "Okay, I know."

After he left, Liu Pu said, "Brother Dehua, is this what you said before about being driven by interests?"

Chen Mo also smiled and said, "My Lord, you once taught me that what matters between countries is interests. If interests are there, they are friends. If interests are not there, they are opponents. I still remember it and reflect on myself from time to time."

Huh!

How come this guy is so humble and obedient, and he is honest.

Fang Xing was confused and said, "The best interests are complementary, so that the friendship between the two sides will be more stable. Of course, we must guard against the change of the nature of interests. When one side takes advantage, it is almost impossible to fall out."

Liu Pu felt that Fang Xing was a bit pedantic, "Brother Dehua, what about suppression by force?"

Fang Xing said unhappily, "How long can force be suppressed? Why should I represent the court and His Majesty to commend Chen Zhongren and Xiao Niang as soon as I arrive?"

Liu Pu said, "They have worked hard and made great contributions."

Fang Xing felt that this guy was a rough guy, and said helplessly, "Chen Zhongren is a model figure of Jiaozhi education. Commending him is to commend his Jiaozhi students, and commending Xiao Niang is to encourage Jiaozhi women, do you understand?"

Liu Pu was a little confused, and Fang Xing covered his forehead and said, "The Ming Dynasty is so powerful now, why do we have to go to so much trouble to win them over?"

Liu Pu had never come into contact with the Jiaozhi rebels, so he couldn't imagine how powerful that force would be once it erupted.

Chen Mo looked at Fang Xing cautiously and said, "My Lord, I think we should be friends and brothers. Those who don't want to be brothers are mostly rebellious and have bad intentions..."

This guy has mastered the essence of thick black!

Fang Xing said approvingly, "That's what I mean. We want to be brothers, but can you treat your brothers rudely?"

Liu Pu understood and said, "It's just... a family!"

Fang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Can you spend some time studying?"

Liu Pu was ashamed, and Chen Mo just smiled.

"What is their attitude towards you?"

Fang Xing turned around and asked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then said: "It's okay, but everyone knows that they are just perfunctory to each other, and their smiles are particularly fake."

"That's not bad."

Fang Xing finally ordered: "The delegation is now the meat on our chopping board. They are all smart people and will not cross the line. Just keep an eye on them."

Chen Mo laughed dryly: "Xinghe Bo, what does the Ming Dynasty mean in Champa?"

"Did Lai from Champa look for you?"

"Yes, Jiaozhi is becoming more and more stable, and the Ming Dynasty's army has reached the border. Lai from Champa is a little flustered."

"Really?"

Fang Xing said: "The Ming Dynasty is very big. Unless it is an enemy, the Ming Dynasty has no precedent of going to war with foreign countries. In fact, looking at the history of the Central Plains, after the unification, the Central Plains rarely went to war with foreign countries unless there was an external enemy. Let him rest assured."
