Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 248 Chapter 240 Six Old Friends of the Siamese People

Wang Daoqiu defeated the 20 Mang Rui Ti army in the first battle. In fact, not many Burmese soldiers were killed by the Ming army's artillery fire in this battle. It would be great if there were [-] soldiers in the battle.

But in fact, in this battle, the Burmese army attacked more than 7 people on both sides of the Chao Phraya River. Most of them were trampled to death by elephants and their own people.

After all, Mangrui's 25 army this time, except for the tens of thousands left to monitor the Siamese army, the rest are placed on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, ready to kill chickens with a sledgehammer, and use absolute force superiority to kill Wang Daoqiu. Wan Mingjun.

But he didn't know how powerful the Ming army's artillery was, his army formation was too dense, and Wang Shatou was too bad and lacked martial ethics.

As a result, the cannon blast caused thousands of elephants to be frightened and fled in all directions, causing chaos among the Burmese infantry.Those standing on the outside of the military formation were lucky enough to survive as long as they turned away and ran into the tropical rainforest behind.And those people standing in the middle of the military formation were miserable!No, they lay there on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, and that's how their whole life passed.

With zero casualties, Wang Daoqiu repelled the enemy's 25 troops and killed [-] of the enemy's [-] enemies, and arrived at the gate of Siam's capital city.

In fact, when Wang Daoqiu unilaterally massacred Mang Ruiti, the kings and ministers of Siam were standing at the top of the city to watch!However, they were far away, and with the smoke rising from the artillery fire, they could not see the specific battle scene clearly.I could only see the densely packed artillery on the Ming army's ships, the constantly flashing fire on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, a fire and smoke, and the Burmese army running around like a swarm of ants being smashed into an ant nest.

The artillery fire of the Ming army was too fierce, and the sound shook the sky, scaring the Siamese monarchs and ministers standing on the city wall to tremble.They were all worried that the Ming army would see Cai and attack them with shells.After all, in this big city, there are 200 years of wealth accumulation of their Siamese dynasty.

The Siamese monarchs and ministers were worried, and Wang Daoqiu's fleet had also arrived at their city, so he sent an interpreter to contact them.As soon as the kings and ministers of Siam knew that it was the past two years, the top headline of Ming Dynasty was six yuan and the first, and Wang Daoqiu came to shave his head.They were so frightened that they couldn't give birth immediately. If they want to put on airs and mention the idea of ​​national dignity, all the monarchs and ministers went out of the city to welcome them.As for whether the Ming army will take the opportunity to attack the city, they can only rely on Wang Shatou's character. After all, they can't withstand the Ming army's artillery fire even if they close the city gate!
Seeing all the monarchs and ministers in Siam, they came out amidst fluttering and fluttering red flags.Wang Daoqiu also wore his flamboyant gold python robe woven in red and gold, and stepped on coiled dragon boots, and got off the boat.

To be honest, in a place like Siam, which is only a dozen latitudes away from the equator and where it's summer every day, Wang Daoqiu really doesn't want to wear a python robe because it's too hot.But a man relies on his clothes, and a Buddha relies on his gold clothing. How can you make the kings and ministers of Siam believe that you are a rich man without a suitable outfit?

After getting off the boat, Wang Daoqiu quickly met the King of Siam, Maha Chakrapat. This was an extremely miserable king of a country in the entire history of the world.He was talented, and he even had the courage to charge the enemy with his whole family. He even had the courage to ride an elephant one-on-one with the young Burmese king Mang Rui before the battle.

But in the original historical time and space, he relied on the strategy of defending the city and clearing the country, forcing the Burmese king Mang Rui to retreat in spite of the difficulties.It's just that his two sons were very aggressive. Seeing the Burmese army retreating, they led their troops to chase the Burmese army behind them. The enemy retreated and we pursued.

As a result, in the face of absolute strength, the bravery of Maha Chakrapat's two sons became a joke, and the two boys were both defeated and captured.Later, in order to redeem his two sons, Maha Chakrapat was forced to bow to Mangrui Ti for compensation.

After waiting for two years, Mang Rui Ti learned the lesson of the first failed attempt and dragged the cannons to attack the city. After leaving Maha Chaklapat with no strong city to defend, Maha Chakrapat Pat was Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and his family was abducted by Burmese king Mang Ruiti and sent to Burma as slaves.Commentators say that King Maha Chakrapat of Siam is considered a promising monarch in the circle of kings. At least he has the courage to face powerful enemies and charge bravely.

But he was unlucky!When he took over, Siam had been a country for 200 years. According to our Chinese culture, a dynasty that had been a country for 200 years made him look like an old man who had lived for more than 70 years. At this time, he was suffering from various diseases for no apparent reason, and It's still the kind that cannot be eradicated by medical means, and the next step is to wait for death.

This is what happened to Siam when Maha Chakrapat took over.It has been 200 years since the founding of the country. After 200 years of cultivation and development, the vested interests in the country have become powerful enough to make this country lose any possibility of change.The king can be changed, the ministers can be changed, but only the blood-sucking power of the vested interest class is sacred and inviolable.

So Maha Chakrapat was miserable. In the end, he could only be harvested by the butcher's knife of the Mangrui army together with the vested interests of Siam, and Siam was temporarily subjugated.

He didn't have any major faults, he was capable and had the courage of a man, but in the end he ended up like Song Huizong.Wang Daoqiu also deeply sympathized with Maha Chakrapat.Therefore, after the two parties met, they were unable to communicate directly because of the language barrier.But Wang Daoqiu still gave Maha Chakrapat the respect of a king, and he did not become arrogant in front of others just because the other party was in trouble.

When you are prosperous, those who eat and drink with you are called fair-weather friends.And those who can lend a helping hand and respect you when you are in trouble are called brothers.

Therefore, Wang Daoqiu's attitude quickly won the favor of the King of Siam, Maha Chakrapat.After several days of contact between the two parties, Maha Chakrapat firmly stated that he would definitely raise national gifts and go to Ming Dynasty this year to congratulate Emperor Jiajing on his 42th birthday.

He also gave [-] acres of land at the estuary of the Chao Phraya River at the Bay of Bangkok to the Ming Dynasty to build a free trade port for both parties.The Ming caravans were allowed to do business freely in Siam, and they were free to rent houses and businesses, and Ming merchants in Siam were given absolute personal safety protection.

The policy given by Maha Chakrapat was so favorable that Wang Daoqiu reciprocated the favor and refused the 30 taels of gold military expenditure that Siam wanted to give to the Ming Dynasty this time.He also left all the spoils from the defeat of the Burmese army to Siam to expand its armaments. He also presented Siam with [-] Ming army standard sabers and [-] crossbows free of charge.

At the same time, Wang Daoqiu also signed a long-term economic cooperation agreement with the King of Siam, Maha Chakrapat, and guaranteed to purchase no less than 500 million shi of rice from Siam every year to enrich Siam's finances.

After a happy meeting between the host and the guest, and the friendly exchange of benefits for everyone, Maha Chakrapat bid farewell to Wang Daoqiu at the Chao Phraya River wharf in Ayutthaya with tears in his eyes.

After Wang Daoqiu left, he also ordered a stone tablet to be engraved on Wang Daoqiu's rescue of Siam at the dock where Wang Daoqiu left, so that future generations of Siam would always remember Wang Daoqiu's great kindness to Siam. Virtue.
