I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

For example, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam are all names given by the emperor of the Central Plains, and they cannot be changed easily.

At the time of Nguyen Phuc, his ancestors unified Jiaozhi, conquered Champa and part of Cambodia, and asked the old man Qianlong to give the country the name "South Vietnam".

Old Qianlong's mind is still good, and he can see the plot at a glance.

Nanyue, together with Dongyue (Guangdong) and Xiyue (Guangxi), has the meaning of juxtaposition, which has a great meaning and contains evil intentions.

Then he issued a decree and ordered him to change the name of the country from "Nanyue" to "Vietnam", which means the south of Yue (Guangdong).

However, the Vietnamese are not satisfied with the name of Vietnam, and they often call themselves Da Nan or Da Viet in private.

Siamese, too.

They hope to use their ethnic name, Thailand, as the country name, and include Thais from all over the Indochina Peninsula, and even in China.

They believe that the Thai people migrated from the north to the south, and the Nanzhao Kingdom in Tang Dynasty was built by the Thai people, and Yunnan is the ancestral land of the Thai people.

When he learned that the Siamese had such an idea, Zhu Fugui could only sigh with emotion that Yunnan is really a treasure land of geomantic omen.

Little Yunnan not only produced elegant people's artists such as Mao Jiachao, but also such crouching dragons and phoenixes as Siam and Morishita.

For the Siamese’s own journey of seeking their roots, Zhu Fugui is not sure how much more reliable than Morishita is. Chinese scholars since the Republic of China have criticized this in history.

But from Zhu Fugui's standpoint, they still support it. Siam has been an inalienable territory of Ming Dynasty since ancient times. They all admit it!

As for what kind of Thai chauvinism they want to engage in, this is obviously wishful thinking.

In this day and age, the concept could never have been born.

Having said that, of course Zhu Fugui knew that the title of Siam was indeed a mistake on the Chinese side. The so-called "Siam" and "Luo Hu" were combined into Siam...

These two countries have been wiped out for hundreds of years, and they are all old accounts of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Moreover, the so-called "Siam" refers to the Sukhothai Kingdom in the [-]th century, and they are not called "Siam" themselves.

"Siam" is a transliteration of Sanskrit, meaning dark-skinned people.

It is understandable that the Siamese are dissatisfied with their national title.

However, dissatisfaction is not dissatisfaction, the Celestial Dynasty calls you that, you have to hold back.

Because at that time Yukou proclaimed the "King of Siam" and formed a custom, it was none other than Emperor Hongwu, the ancestor of Zhu Baba of Ming Liangzong.

Grandpa Hongwu said that you are Siamese, and you are Siamese.

If he is not satisfied, Zhu Fugui doesn't mind sending him down to talk to his grandfather himself.

The Siamese envoy obviously said that on purpose. If the Emperor of Heaven didn't recognize it for a while, they could justifiably change their country name.

Zhu Fugui didn't give him such an opportunity, and said with a sneer, "I want to attack Siam, what's the matter with your Thai king?"

The envoy was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "If you go back to the emperor, my king is the king of Siam..."

As he said that, before Zhu Fugui ordered to drive away the guests, he quickly took out an exquisite box and held it high above the country's head: "This is a wish from my king..."

Recently, Ruan Fushi, who has been following Zhu Fugui as a servant, jumped out quickly, stood in front of Zhu Fugui, and shouted: "Long Live Lord, be careful about Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Qin! There may be fraud in this box!"

On the other side, the old eunuch Li, who was serving Zhu Fugui, picked up Ruan Fushi speechlessly, put it aside, and said, "Ah Fu, although you are very loyal, but he can see Lord Longevity, of course he has passed all the security checks. It's impossible even to hide poison in the eyes, don't worry."

As he said that, the old eunuch Li looked at him with a look of "we need a talent like you in Dongchang", and said sullenly, "Talk about Fu, or you can let the Sajia cut off your useless thing Well, the godson of the Sa family is not filial, and he refuses to cut it, anyway, you are not humane, and keeping that thing is a burden, it is better to let the Sa family cut it off, so you can enter the palace to serve the emperor."

Ruan Fushi's face turned pale, and he quickly hid behind Zhu Fugui and said with a sneer, "Eunuch Li is just joking, how can a grassroots man serve the emperor day and night?

The Siamese envoy stared dumbfounded at the bean sprouts being carried around by the spherical eunuch.

If I'm not mistaken, that person seems to be...

As a Siamese diplomatic envoy, he has also visited Vietnam, and he believes that he will never admit his mistake.

The person who was carried around was Nguyen Phuc Thih, Emperor Dai Viet!

When I saw this man in Tokyo, although he was a little thinner, he was still the king of a country in a crown suit!

And now, and now...

He seems to be fat?

The Siamese envoy rubbed his eyes and found that the captured Emperor Dai Viet was indeed a lot fatter.

It's just because he was standing next to the 380 Jin Ming eunuch just now, so he didn't look fat or thin.

Is this Daming's food so nourishing?

The Siamese envoy couldn't help but think.

Just when the Siamese envoy was admiring the delicious food of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui had already taken the box brought up by the guards.

Indochina Peninsula has been rich in gold, ivory, rhino horn and precious stones since ancient times.

This box alone, Zhu Fugui felt, would be enough to buy an old and small set in Beijing's Fourth Ring Road in future generations.

Open the box, a huge ruby ​​shines inside, exuding a charming red light.

Zhu Fugui handed the gem and the box to Li Chunfa.

With a wave of the latter's sleeve, the thing disappeared without a trace like a bull into the sea.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was very satisfied with the gift, the Siamese envoy quickly took the opportunity to hand over the letter of credence of the King of Siam, saying: "Son of Shangbang, my king sincerely admires the majesty of the heavenly court, and hopes that the two countries will stop fighting and be kings and ministers forever!"

Zhu Fugui nodded noncommittally, and then opened the credentials.

……

Siam is an important country in the Indochina Peninsula.

Today's Siam is under the rule of the Bangkok Dynasty, or the Chakri Dynasty.

The founder of this dynasty is well-known, and has a very high appearance rate in various P club games, second only to Rama I of Sukhothai.

The person who wrote this letter to Zhu Fugui was Rama V, a descendant of Rama I and the current ruler of Siam.

Zhu Fugui is still very familiar with this family of Rama.

After all, Zhu Fugui had studied the Siamese royal family in detail.

They have been able to live freely into the 21st century, live a life of extravagance, possess great real power, and have not been liquidated by the people, which is naturally unique.

Zhu Fugui never thought of letting his offspring live this kind of life.

If the old Zhu's family had a bastard like King Rama X, Zhu Fugui must have supported the people of Ming Dynasty to break into the Fengdu Imperial Palace, burn down the star-picking platform, and hang him from the street lamp.

But in any case, no one wants their offspring to be hanged by street lamps, so Zhu Fugui studied the systems of Japan, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Siam, Brunei, Bhutan and other countries, learned from others, and prepared to find a balance .

Rama X is a negative material.

Chapter 705

Compared with the unsatisfactory descendant of Rama X, Rama V has a very good reputation in the history of Siam.

He is also known as Chulalongkorn the Great, known as one of the greatest monarchs in Thai history and the founder of modern Thailand.

It's just that the name of the person who wrote the letter was neither Rama V nor Chulalongkorn.

Instead, the word "Zheng Long" was written in block letters.

That's right, the founder of the Bangkok Dynasty, Rama I, claimed to be the son of Emperor Zheng Xin of the Thonburi Dynasty, and was granted the canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty, and his descendants also claimed to be the descendants of Zheng Xin in the tributary system of the Central Plains Dynasty.

If Zhu Fugui was an aborigine of Daming who was serious and honest, he might be deceived by this group of deceitful people just like Qianlong.

Zhu Fugui sneered, tore Chulalongkorn's letter to pieces, and smashed the Siamese messenger's face forcefully: "Go back and tell you the false king, is he worthy of the surname Zheng? Of course, he is even more unworthy of the surname Zhu!"

Come on, Zhu Fugui waved his hand, and the guards on the left and right kicked him off.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Fugui raised his hand suddenly, making the guards stop, then took out a ruby ​​the size of an egg from his pocket and threw it on the Siamese envoy's forehead.

"Take this ruby ​​to your false king. I am rich and have everything. How could I look at his broken gem? This gem is much bigger than his, but I don't care. Let him wash his neck and wait. Follow my army!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Fugui waved his hand, and drove him out regardless of the crying of the Siamese envoy.

……

There are many reasons why Zhu Fugui expelled the Siamese envoys.

Not just out of anger.

Rama IV Chulalongkorn's surname is not Zheng, this is just a pretext.

In history, King Rama I backstabbed Thonburi the Great, the first Guangdong hunk who was king overseas and whose land area exceeded 10T - Zheng Xin.

To be honest, as Zheng Xin's brother-in-law and the captain of the bodyguard, sending his uncle on the road, and then wearing a yellow robe is an authentic Chinese tradition.

Later, considering that the Central Plains dynasty had always had a habit of "continuing life and death" for younger brothers, King Rama I called himself Zheng Xin's son Zheng Hua and applied to Daiqing for canonization.

In fact, Rama I was only three years younger than Zheng Xin, the same age gap as Liu Bang and Qin Shihuang.

So he, Zheng, is very unorthodox.

In fact, King Rama I also had some Chinese blood. His mother was of Chinese descent, and the queens of the Bangkok dynasty also had many Chinese women. After all, compared with the local "Siam" people, the appearance of Chinese girls must be better.

Therefore, the members of the Thai royal family in later generations, as well as the upper-class nobles in Thailand, are not so much like locals as they are more like Chinese.

But in the end, they are Siamese, not Chinese.

In addition, what really made Zhu Fugui determined to eliminate the Bangkok Dynasty was because Rama V revealed a bargaining gesture in his letter.

In fact, Siam is in the Indochina Peninsula, just like North Korea is in the Far East, and has been repeatedly ravaged by two big brothers, Myanmar in the west and Vietnam in the east.

Even the Khmer and Chams have the habit of keeping Thai slaves.

At that time, Thonburi Emperor Zheng Xin relied on the mixed troops of Chinese and Siamese to beat Myanmar, kick Vietnam, cede territory to Laos, and spend the night in the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, thus avoiding the fate of Siam fragmentation.

But in itself, the combat effectiveness of the Siamese is lackluster, and it is simply incomparable with the Burmese and Vietnamese.

The term "abundant martial arts virtues" is not used by them at all.

The only commendable thing is that compared to Dabobo and the Koreans, the Siamese also know that their combat power is very hip.

In fact, until later generations, many Siamese surfing the Internet still stubbornly believed that the iron fist of the rabbit fell on Vietnam to save them.

If it weren't for the rabbits, they would have been annexed by Vietnam, and Siam's own troops would be unreliable.

It is this kind of self-knowledge that led the Siamese to choose to lie flat instead of resisting with the Qing Dynasty, North Korea, Vietnam, and Japan in the face of Western invasion (although they all lost miserably because of too much food). .

For example, Rama V's father, Rama IV, when the Qing Dynasty was strong and prosperous, he still wore official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty to show his filial piety. (as pictured)

As a result, as soon as the Taiping Rebellion began, he ordered to stop paying tribute to China and no longer paying tribute to the emperor of the Central Plains.

Then, in 1857, before the Second Opium War was fought, before the Chinese Empire was burned down by foreigners, and when the imperial capital was officially pulled down, he sent a mission to London to meet Queen Victoria of England.

After that, he also sent missions to meet Napoleon III several times, expressing his admiration for French culture.

He wrote a letter of tribute to Lincoln in English, and gave Lincoln a Japanese sword, and even wanted to send some elephants to help the Americans develop the west.

King Rama IV said Siamese elephants were strong enough to transport timber in the forests of the American West.

But Siam's boat is too small. I hope that the commander of Lincoln can send a big boat to pick up these elephants.

Lincoln replied that he was very grateful to the king of Siam for his kindness, but "the United States is developing mechanization and does not need to use elephants as labor."

It can be said that King Rama IV has Western friends all over the world.

It's the exact opposite of Zhu Fugui.

As for Rama V Chulalongkorn, he received Western education since he was a child and grew up drinking foreign ink. He continued his father's strategy and got closer to the West.

According to Jin Yiwei's report, Chulalongkorn can't write Chinese at all, but he can write beautiful English.

Therefore, the so-called "handwritten" national certificate that Zhu Fugui tore up was basically written by someone else.

This Chulalongkorn dared to do the same thing as himself, what a shame!

Therefore, the word "Zheng" in the so-called "Zheng Long" was not only a joke when King Rama I backstabbed Zheng Xin 100 years ago, but it is even more a joke now.

In fact, if it weren't for the sudden birth of Ming Dynasty, King Rama V would not have planned to use a Chinese name at all.

Later generations of the Thai royal family no longer publicly use Chinese names, and use the Chinese name Gao Ya, which was initiated by Rama V.

According to the "Drafts of Qing History", all the Siamese kings who succeeded to the throne were surnamed Zheng, that is, Zheng Zhao/Zheng Xin, Zheng Hua, Zheng Fo, Zheng Fu, Zheng Ming (this...will Xianfeng really not be angry), but By the time of Rama V, Chinese names were no longer used.

The Qing Dynasty translators were not polite either.

Confidant and elegant translators like William and Victoria are prepared for foreigners.

Are you a "Siamese country barbarian", do you also deserve Daya?
