Beiyang new warlord

Those who come out of Liaodong are definitely perverts!The girl thought sadly in her heart.

.........

Principal Jiang has the habit of mentioning school mottos, and so does Marshal Mao. The principal of the business school affiliated to Liaodong University has a motto: Treat friends with warmth like spring, treat enemies with greed like vampires, and squeeze out the last copper coins in their pockets!

The company mercenaries of the four regiments advanced from four streets respectively, and finally converged at the rammed-earth city wall in the north of Bangkok City. This prosperous port was completely in the hands of the East India Company. A few miles away, there is still a more majestic and magnificent city in sight.

In the afternoon, the pouring sunset is reflected on the Buddhist minaret above the rammed-earth city wall, reflecting an extraordinarily gorgeous golden light. The tropics are covered with moss climbing, and under the dense stone city wall, you can vaguely see exquisite Buddhist temples. The statues are connected together, here is Ayutthaya, the capital of the Kingdom of Siam, but because of its unique magnificence in the Indochina Peninsula, the Chinese here are more accustomed to calling it Ayutthaya.

But at this time, the big city obviously lacked the peace and tranquility of the old Buddhism that worshiped Theravada Buddhism. Outside the south gate, the wooden antler barricade was panicked by those Siamese soldiers who were shirtless or wearing rattan armor and bamboo hats. After transporting them, they were piled densely into fortifications, and some musketeers were traded from the Spaniards and the Dutch. The simple matchlock guns were placed behind the antlers, and many soldiers were holding spears, and the big guns were trembling. Some of them hid behind the musket array and lined up.

The country of Annan, which is long and narrow, has a population of around 300 million. Although it occupies the middle of the vaster Indochina Peninsula, and its territory is five or six times that of Annan, the population of Siam has never been ruled by the Central Plains, and the culture of the Central Plains is extremely profound. Ananduo, the whole country has a population of about 50 million.

But even so, the defensive troops guarding the capital and the defeated soldiers who fled back from Bangkok are more than [-], five times the army of the East India Company who landed and invaded. Defense, its decline can be seen.

Just as Dacheng was defending in panic, on the avenue extending from the south, more than a dozen dark figures swaying behind the sun appeared in front of them. The aggressive general who was in charge of the defense immediately shouted nervously, at the forefront, The Siamese musketeers who hid behind the deer village for defense also took up their muskets short of breath, but under their gaze, these "enemies" were extremely spineless, and they all knelt on the road with a click, one by one. Lao Gao also raised his hand.

In astonishment, a group of cavalry hurried over on the rare Zhongnan war horses. After a while, they turned around and shouted loudly in relief.

"It's Mr. Pomon Daligu in Bangkok, and it's one of our own!"

It is completely different from the Annan Kingdom, which advocates the culture of the Central Plains and is the most famous small China. The Thai people who left from the central and western parts of China are now obviously more influenced by Indian culture. The name of the capital Ayutthaya comes from Theravada Buddhism, and there are many temples in the city , which is quite similar to the abandoned Angkor Wat.

King Nalei, who was in power at this time, was dressed like a monk more than an emperor. The gold-encrusted monk's hat on his head depicted the four heavenly kings of Buddhism. Arhat, the scene of Bodhisattva and Buddha listening to the lawsuit humbly, but the royal robe full of Buddha's breath can't hide the lazy and extravagant appearance of the person wearing it. On the fat belly, the fat is squeezed out from the gap in the clothes Stumpy, leaning on the golden lotus throne, the old guy was fanned by two maids, his eyes were closed in a daze, and he didn't know if he was asleep or awake.

Fortunately, there are still people who are anxious about major national affairs. Listening to the narration of Bangkok Pomon Dali Valley, who is also a fat man of about the same tonnage, with a mournful face, there is a thin man not far from King Nalei, who is also dressed as a monk and has a similar style. Pablo growled loudly, full of disbelief.

"What? 500 million taels!"

"That's right, Lord Chancellor, Daming not only demanded compensation for the East India Company's loss of 500 million taels these days, but also asked the royal family to send protons to Hangzhou, and designated Bangkok as a leased area of ​​the East India Company to allow the company to enter inland trade, etc. Wait for the conditions!"

This is a typical capitalist war. It is not for the purpose of destroying the country and striving for hegemony.However, Luo Yu felt that he was magnanimous enough, but the Prime Minister didn't think so, with a face as gloomy as a pig's liver, he roared furiously.

"It's just shameless!"

"We Siamese are the masters of this land! These greedy Ming people plundered our wealth, displaced the people, and finally demanded that we compensate them! Dreaming! Your Majesty, I suggest that all the fierce troops should be gathered immediately Ayutthaya, drive the Ming people into the sea!"

King Nalei's squinted eyes didn't even open or close. The patriotic Prime Minister was already roaring.

"Pass down the king's decree! Order all the fierce and powerful patriarchs and nobles to lead troops into the capital, and Siam will fight to the death with Daming!"

.........

In the hot weather of the Indochina Peninsula, the time seemed to pass a little faster. That night, Luo Yu received a declaration of war from Bangkok's Pomon Dali Valley. In the tactics, Siam and Ming Dynasty were completely cut off. All the relations between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were prohibited from immigrating and doing business on the land of Siam, and they clamored arrogantly to kill all the Ming people who invaded Bangkok.

However, Luo Yu's reaction to this was that he threw the gauntlet into the sea.

But the war that followed was weird.

On the first day, the East India Company mercenaries reinforced Bangkok's defenses, and they had no intention of going north. Similarly, the Siamese Central Army of more than 3 showed no signs of going south to attack.

On the third day, more than 1 troops from the three fierce forces in the central region merged into the Ayutthaya army, but Miss Luo still did not move.

On the fifth day, everyone was still staring at each other more than ten miles away.

On the seventh day, the city defense army in Dacheng has soared to more than 7 people, but on this day, the Prime Minister Pabilo, who just clamored to kill the Ming people, unexpectedly arrived in person with a dejected face. He arrived in Bangkok City, and respectfully boarded the flagship salt store of the East India Service Company under the guard of Ming army mercenaries.

Although he was amazed at Luo Yu's youth and beauty, but soon, the old skinny man bowed down deeply sadly.

"Da Ming's conditions, Siam, basically agreed!"

Chapter 838. The Snipe and the Clam Fight

Chinese businessmen first promoted the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, the complex political environment of the countries, and the frequent wars to survive and become bigger and stronger, a unique vision, and a strategist-like thinking strategy are essential, and even many businessmen directly assumed the responsibility. The foreign policy of a country or even several countries achieves the purpose of seeking their own interests by promoting the political direction of other countries, whether it is peace or war. Among them, Lu Buwei is the first to be promoted.

But now, under Mao Jue's hands, this kind of scheming businessman seems to have begun to recover, and Luo Yu in front of him is an example.

Although the marriage has created a powerful relationship, this girl has come to the present completely relying on the experience she has accumulated in doing business in Zhongnan for several years, and the political trend she has seen through.

In fact, the huge Central South has always maintained a very strange balance. Take Annan and Champa at the outermost edge as an example. For so many years, the reason why Annan did not go all out to destroy Champa is because he grew up around it. On the other side of the mountain range, there are two countries, Nanzhang and Khmer, staring at each other.

More than 200 years ago, these two countries were the ancestor of the Chenla Kingdom, the Angkor Dynasty that built Angkor Wat in the tropical rainforest. This dynasty was so powerful that it almost became the Qin Kingdom in the Indo-China Peninsula. It was close to unification in its strongest period. The entire peninsula, also in order to unify the great cause of the peninsula, the Angkor dynasty took aim at Champa, and launched a large army to look over the long mountains to attack Champa.

However, regardless of the small size of Champa, they have the convenience of the Maritime Silk Road. They have accumulated a lot of wealth through long-term trade with the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The land reclamation is also very high. The population is as high as 200 million. It is not easy to mess with. You come Hit me, we will beat to death!These occupying people are also ruthless enough, repeatedly defeating Chenla, which occupies two-thirds of the Indochina Peninsula, and even once went upstream along the Mekong River and broke through Angkor Wat, the capital of the Angkor Dynasty.

However, the protracted war also led to the death of a large number of people in the two countries, the abandonment of fields, and the decline of the economy. From the middle and upper reaches of the Mekong River to the vast land of the Malay Peninsula, the only remaining territory of the Angkor Dynasty also shattered into two pieces, Khmer and Nanzhang, which are the later generations of Cambodia and Laos.

Champa at the other end also declined, and was aggressively attacked by the rising Annan Kingdom in the north. The territory was repeatedly invaded, and the three sides of the south, west and north were lost successively, and it had shrunk to the point of a country within a country.

Besides, Sukhothai, who seized a large area of ​​the Angkor dynasty, is also the ancestor of the later generations of Thais. The relationship between feudal vassal states, the core of the empire is located very close to Sukhothai City, and further away is formed by tribal forces to self-govern one by one. As time goes by, the contradiction between the local and the central will inevitably become sharper. A lot of manpower and material resources were used to build temples, and the country was poor and weak, so it was naturally invaded by foreign countries.

This foreign enemy is the Burmese who are rising in the West.

More than 200 years ago, the Burmese marched eastward, broke through the city of Sukhothai in one go, killed the king, and plundered more than [-] prisoners. The collapse of Sukhothai also gave the Ayutthaya dynasty a chance to rise. As a result, they forged a blood feud.

Luo Yu took advantage of the main conflict between the two Indochinese Peninsula countries. Bangkok is only a few dozen miles away from Ayutthaya City. Daming went into battle shirtless. Even if there were only a few thousand people, it still brought Ayutthaya great The huge military pressure, in order to guard against Ming, Siam gathered a large number of fierce troops in the capital, which gave the enemy Burmese a chance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Siamese army to advance southward, Mang Liang, the general of the Eastern Burmese Kingdom, has already led his army eastward in the name of helping Daming recruit. Even if it is as strong as Ming Dynasty, it will not be able to withstand the front and rear attacks. The Qing army and the Peng army repeatedly seesaw, let alone a small Siamese.

If you want the country to be immortal, you naturally have to appease the next party, and compared to the vicious feud, Daming, a country of etiquette, seems to be a little more talkative!

In the gorgeous living room of the Salt Company, the Prime Minister of the State, Pabilo, had an old face as sad as a frost-beaten eggplant, and bowed earnestly: "My lord, Siam basically accepts Daming's conditions, and your majesty will immediately You can send Prince Luoye and Princess Sally to the north to plead guilty to Daming! Siam is willing to obey Daming as suzerain, pay tribute every year, and come to court every year!"

In the past, the Ming Empire was the first to be taken advantage of in Southeast Asia. If they could beat them, they would fight them, and if they couldn’t, they would pretend to be their grandson. It's just a title!The old guy obviously still had this idea, and the conditions were also avoided when negotiating conditions.

Unfortunately, what age is this?Return the vassal suzerain?Although the old guy looks like a prodigal son who has lost his way, Luo Yu doesn't like this at all, and the little girl shook her head coldly.

"The suzerain's tribute is a matter for the Ministry of Rites. The concubine is only in charge of conquest. Bangkok is designated as the leased land of the East India Company, and the compensation is 500 million taels of silver. I can't see these two things. Three days later, the concubine's gunboat will go up the Mekong River. Keep attacking!"

Pretending to be a grandson is not working?After being stunned for a moment, Prime Minister Papillon suddenly roared viciously like a vicious dog baring its teeth: "Siam is only willing to accept the title of minister because of the benevolence and virtue of the state of ceremonies in the Celestial Dynasty. Gong, shake hands and make peace, if you don’t have Siam, you will be afraid of Daming, if you are aggressive, little girl, don’t blame Siam for fighting to the death, when the time comes, the lives of your soldiers will not be guaranteed, and Daming’s reputation will be ruined!”

"Then let's continue the war? Come and send the Prime Minister off the ship!"

Pabilo was so angry that she almost vomited blood, my good fellow, this little girl is so stubborn!Without even frowning, he was really going to be kicked out of the boat. Seeing Luo Yu turn around calmly and go away, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and the old guy simply walked away, suppressing the densely packed gods and Buddhas on his body, Angrily got off the boat.

While walking, Pabilo was still yelling viciously about how to kill the Ming people and throw the corpses into the Mekong River to feed the fish. Suddenly there was a sound behind him, and he turned his head stunned, only to see a series of giant East India Company gunboats moored in Bangkok Port, like a convulsion, and the gunfire rang out one after another, and the bombers they bombed The direction is actually in the city of Bangkok.

For a while, artillery fire was flying, and shrapnel shells were crackling on the wooden and mud Siamese houses like rain. For a while, the tiles cracked, the houses collapsed, the walls were destroyed, and the residential buildings were scrambling to collapse. Unexpectedly, disaster suddenly befalls him. The terrified Siamese scrambled to escape from the house, but they fell one by one in a pool of blood under the massacre of artillery fire. The scene was extremely cruel.

It's not just about scaring chickens and monkeys!There are still [-] to [-] Siamese in Bangkok. Ayutthaya in the north is heavily concentrated, and the Siamese in the city are also ready to move. These days, there have been many attacks on East India Company mercenaries. The inside should be combined with the outside.

Compassion does not command soldiers!Luo Yu doesn't have the hypocrisy of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty in the past. Now that the conversation has collapsed, she must bear the brunt of this internal hidden danger. Otherwise, once the battle starts, these guys will make a surprise attack from behind. Got to be in a mess.

However, this cruel artillery massacre, one after another bombardment and screams scared the dignified Siam Prime Minister to fight, his face was full of disbelief, and he was stunned for a few minutes, but Pabilo gave up again. He ran towards the port where the Salt Company was moored again!

Half an hour later, the negotiating table was once again placed in the reception room of the Salt Company. Luo Yu was still calm and indifferent, but Pabilo was completely lost when he heard the continuous gunfire. With the demeanor of a country's prime minister, his fists were banging on the table, and Lao Ganba was roaring with all his strength.

"Where is the benevolence and righteousness of Ming Dynasty when you kill the unarmed people? My country will send envoys to the Celestial Dynasty to protest your cruelty to the Emperor Ming!"
