was contemplated and an army for the purpose formed in Fukien. Ike Mese, 

 together with Shih-pi and Kau Hsing, got the command öfit; the formation 

 of the army was entrusted to Shih-pi, whilst Ike Mese had to provide for 

 the transport over sea. 



The Emperor gave them the folio wing instructions : //When you have 

 arrived in Java, you must send a messenger to inform me of it. If you 

 occupy that country, the other smaller states will submit from themselves, 

 you have only to send envoys to receive their allegïance. When those coun- 

 tries are brought to obeyance, it will be all your work." 



When the army arrived at Champa (*), they first sent envoys to call 

 into submission Lambri , Sumatra , Pu-lu-pu-tu , Pa-la-la ( 2 ) and other smaller 

 countiïes and in the beginning of 1293 they beat the country ofKalangand 

 subdued its king Hadji Katang. Another envoy was sent to the different. 

 Malay ( 3 ) states, who all sent their sons or younger brothers as a token of 

 their allegiance. 



The son-in-law of the prince of Java, Tuhan Pidjaya, submitted at 

 first , but when he returned to his country he revolted again , for which see 

 the account of Shih-pi. 



The generals thought of carrying on the war, but Ike Mese wished 

 to do as the emperor had ordered them and first send a messenger to court. 

 The two others could not agree to tliis , therefore the troops were withdrawn 

 and they returned with their piïsoners and with the envoys of the different 

 smaller states which had submitted. 



The Emperor reprimanded Ike Mese as well as Shih-pi, because they 

 had allowed Tuhan Pidjaya to escape , and confiscated one third of his prop- 

 erty, but this was soon restored again. 



Not long afterwards he retired from office on account of his age and 

 the Emperor, as a reward for his distant and difficult missions, gave him 

 the title of Prince of Wu. He did not enjoy it long, but died soon afterwards. 



(') Accordiug to the other accounts, the army did not go to Champa, but only passed il; 

 the ineauing of this passage will be that, when the expedition was off Champa, a ship was detached 

 from the fleet with the envoy for Sumatra, whose way lay along the coast, wbilsl the body of the 

 army went on straight to Java.
