Chapter 315 Chinese worries

The army under King Naresuan is a multinational force, and correspondingly, the Burmese army is also a multinational force.

Because of the frequent wars in Southeast Asia and the Indochina Peninsula, a large number of Europeans who smelled money and Japanese ronin who lost their homes came here to make a living as mercenaries. Those who mastered some military knowledge did better and could be hired as mercenaries. Instructors, who provide military courses to the high-ranking children of these countries.

When King Naresuan was a hostage in Burma before, he had received Portuguese military courses arranged by Mang Yinglong, and he had a deep understanding of firearms, so even though they live in such a rainy climate, fighting is still smoke The sound of rolling cannons was rumbling, except that the number could not be compared with the Ming army, in terms of elite level, their army was not inferior to the Ming army, and they even used firearm tactics that the Ming army did not understand.

Even so, King Narexuan is eager to see the arrival of the Ming army, because once the Ming army arrives, his dream of revenge will not be far away. He still remembers the story his father told him when he was very young. Back then, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, led the fleet to the Western Ocean, and helped them clear up the pirate incident along the way, which made him yearn for the heavenly kingdom.

What an honor it is to have the opportunity to fight with the Kingdom of Heaven?
Some people are happy, others are embarrassed, and the most embarrassing one is of course the Japanese secret service team. Although these wandering Japanese samurai are valued as special forces in Siam, they have long joined the Siamese country and played for Siam, but they After all, they are still Japanese. Daming has a powerful general who killed Toyotomi Hideyoshi. What will this powerful general think of them who are also Japanese?
These Japanese are also divided into two factions. One faction is optimistic and believes that the reason why they went into exile was harmed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They belong to the hostile forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and have nothing to do with Toyotomi. Having never participated in the North Korean campaign, the general would not have hated them.

The other faction is more pessimistic, thinking that the general hates the Japanese very much. Once he comes, will His Majesty the King of Siam be frightened by Ming's pressure, hand them over and be killed?
In order to unify the opinions of the two factions, they asked the leader Koyama Jiro to discuss this matter with King Narison, otherwise they would be really flustered and overwhelmed.

In fact, King Naresuan also attaches great importance to the multinational troops under his command. The red-haired barbarians in Europe have very good firearm technology, and the Japanese regiments are very powerful in hand-to-hand combat. They can be used as vanguards in wartime. The Chinese troops are very tough and good at many things. Not only can it be mixed with the main force as a spearman and shield player, but it can also be mixed with the red-haired barbarians to make firearms.

The Japanese Corps, which is good at hand-to-hand combat, is a force he relies on. When fighting the Burmese with hand-to-hand combat, the long knives in their hands are very suitable, and they can often defeat the Burmese. On this point, Siam People are not enough, let alone Europeans, they never go to the front line to fight, and always stand in the safest place to play with firearms, but their prices are the most expensive.

The Japanese Corps is very fierce. With their leadership, the main force of Siam can often increase courage and successfully counterattack the Burmese. King Ruixuan's direct-controlled troops, now that the direct-controlled troops are worried, King Narexuan also attaches great importance to it. He is not willing to lose such a strong and brave army.

But after hearing about the doubts of these Japanese, he felt a little bit of a drum in his heart. Before, he was only interested in being happy, but he didn't expect this level-the Japanese were the ones Xiao Ruxun led the troops to fight, and the Japanese were torn to pieces. , Now these people under his command are also Japanese, and he will definitely bring these people with him when he goes to war. What if Xiao Ruxun is unhappy with the Japanese team under his command and wants to kill them all?
But he can only keep such doubts in his heart and cannot speak out, otherwise this army may run away directly, or even surrender to the enemy.

So King Narexuan suppressed a smile with a strong psychological quality.

"Don't worry too much. You are soldiers under my command. They belong to our country and not to Japan. You don't have to worry. Marshal Xiao is a reasonable person. Although he defeated your country before, what does it have to do with you? I followed me three years ago and have been fighting those nasty Burmese people. I have never fought against Daming. What are you afraid of? This time we are comrades-in-arms, not enemies."

Koyama Jiro was still a little worried.

"But we are Japanese after all. What if Marshal Xiao finds us unhappy, thinks we look unpleasant, and even wants to attack us, my lord, what should we do?"

King Narexuan said with a smile: "You are my subordinates. You came to our country earlier because you were expelled by the ruler of the country, so you are no longer Japanese, but Siamese. Don't worry, I will save my face." Here, the generals of Ming Dynasty will not make things difficult for you."

Although Koyama Jiro was still not at ease, but with King Naresuan's guarantee, he had the bottom line in his heart, so he went back to discuss with his compatriots.

After Koyama Jiro left, King Naresuan's face changed, and he quickly recruited Lin Yuanshan, the most senior Chinese official under his command.

These days, the cultural level of Chinese businessmen who went to Nanyang is generally very high. A large number of businessmen and their children went to Nanyang to do business and buy real estate. They all received basic education and mathematics education in China, so their quality is generally high. King Naresuan admired them. Chinese culture is willing to use high-quality Chinese in his eyes to take up official positions.

Although they are basically the sons of merchants who have read some books, the scholars who have actually read the books are all taking the imperial examination in China. Who wants to come to this kind of place to be a foreign official?
But compared to them, these educated "high-quality talents" are exactly what they need. If they want to establish a sound government at all levels, establish a ruling system, and do education, they cannot do without these "high-quality talents". "Quality talents" are as popular and popular as returnees and foreign experts in the early days of China's reform and opening up.

Lin Yuanshan is the one with the highest official position, equivalent to the leader of the Chinese in Siam.

Hearing King Naresuan's worries, he also felt a little scared, thinking that he knew that the attitude of the Chinese people who left their hometowns to live in foreign countries was not very good. , he now began to care about the situation of himself and the Chinese in Siam.

So he came up with an effective method.

"Your Majesty, why don't we write a letter and send it to Marshal Xiao to ask Marshal Xiao's opinion in advance. If Marshal Xiao doesn't want to see those Japanese, just let them hide and not come out to see Marshal Xiao. It's not difficult."

As soon as King Narexuan thought it was feasible, he handed over the matter to Lin Yuanshan.

However, what Lin Yuanshan wants to talk about is far more than these Japanese people. He is more concerned about how the country treats them.
