Chapter 101: What kind of bicycle do you want?
"The emissary of the Sultan of Kuala Terengganu Omar has seen Lord Wiche Phaya!" A Malay man in a white robe bent his waist to 90 degrees and respectfully saluted the Wiche Phraya in his seat!
"Good! Sultan Omar really had a vision, so I will send a warship to escort the messenger to Bangkok to meet His Majesty the King I! ”
In the Chokri family, the face of Wichephiya, who was known for his calmness, was about to laugh, and after he sent away the messenger of the Sultan of Omar, his eyes shone as he looked at Ye Kai.
No wonder his uncle, King Rama I, was Luan Jue as soon as he made a move, this Tang man did have the ability, he could subdue the sultan of a country with only a few hundred people, and when he went back, he suggested to His Majesty the First King that he must not be allowed to go to Quang Nam, and such a person must stay in Siam.
"Lord Phaya, Kemaman Port is the most important port in Kuala Terengganu, should you send a fleet over quickly?"
Ye Kai didn't know that Wiche Phraya had already set up his mind to keep him in Siam, and he was still worried about the situation in Kemaman Harbor, where only Zhang Chaorong was guarding with a thousand clansmen, and there were tens of thousands of Malay natives in Terengganu City.
Wiche Phiya squinted his eyes and thought about it, he brought four thousand sailors this time, and all the Thai tribes around Pattani were mobilized fifteen hundred, which looked like a lot, but there were not many people he could send to Kemaman Harbor.
Because of Adullah, who learned the news of the fall of Pattani. Sha and Ibrahim's army is rushing back, although they have become lost dogs, but after all, there are more than 10,000 people, and it is always a disaster if they are not solved.
What's more, if they run to Pahang or Jeddah, it will be a big threat to Pattan.
In addition, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 Malay natives in the city of Pattani, and the grain by the Tani River is almost ripe, and these places need to send people to prevent Malay chaos!
He can only use about 3,000 people now, and the Sultan of Omar in Kuala Terengganu is only temporarily subdued, and if he sends fewer troops, he will definitely be despised by the local Malays, and maybe there will be changes.
"Lord Phaya, Lord Chailuan, why don't we go and ask Queen Kunnon for an order, most of these Rao family members are clustered, as long as there is a queen to forgive them, the minister believes in Adullah. This army of the sand will definitely disperse without a fight. A naval officer beside Wichephiya spoke.
Ye Kai frowned and shook his head, he looked at Wiche Phiye, and the eyes of the two Rao showed a fierce light of veto, it seemed that they wanted to go together!
Queen Quinnon was kept in the inner palace, she had no power in the first place, and Rama I was not prepared to give him any power, if he would ask her for such a decree, it would not be a recognition of her legitimate right to rule over Pattani!
Besides, if you don't defeat this Pattani army, how can the local Malays be obedient, Siam is now playing slavery, and if you want the Malays to be slaves obediently, you must give Adullah. Sha and the others dealt a fatal blow.
"Lord Phaya, didn't the army of the two kings near Songkhla pursue you?" Ye Kai thought about it, and the second king Sula. Sinhana's army has not been with Abdullah near Songkhla. Did they confront each other? Why didn't he take advantage of the situation to pursue?
Wiche Phiya shook his head, "His Royal Highness the Second King actually didn't send many troops in Songkhla at all, the situation in Tanah Salin is very unstable, and the Burmese are going to make a big move again!" ”
Ye Kai was shocked, these Siamese people were not well-intentioned! They obviously couldn't draw much military strength because of the pressure of dannasarin, and they also encouraged Ye Kai to make trouble in Pattani.
The sailors outside the port of Pattani looked like they were coming to reinforce him, but in fact, Wiche Phiya would not come until Ye Kai succeeded, if Ye Kai didn't succeed, they wouldn't even go ashore!
Damn, Ye Kai's hateful teeth itched, but his face was silent, now he is not strong enough, this is all impossible.
"Lord Wichepye, you should send more troops to the port of Kemaman, this Abdullah. Let's solve the sand! ”
A rough voice came from the door, it turned out that Ye Fulai had returned, and he was also the ten thousand of Rama I, so he could enter and leave the Sultan's Palace at will.
This fat man hasn't appeared since Ye Kai went to ambush the Bugis, Ye Kai thought he was still in Taogong, but he didn't expect to come back!
"Don't be polite, Abdullah. Sha Ke has more than 10,000 troops, are you so sure? "Wiche Phiye's attitude towards Ye Fulai is more respectful than that of Duo Ye Kai, because in his eyes, Ye Fulai is the ruler of the Ye family.
"Don't worry, Lord Phaya is just some lost dogs, I heard that Lord Phaya is here, we and other Tang people are ecstatic, we have raised 5,000 people of Ding Zhuang, we are the followers of the Buddha, we are willing to seize the whole territory of Pattani for His Majesty the First King, and educate these Malays, if Lord Phaya can give some reward, we will immediately set out to defeat Adullah. Rebels of the Sands! ”
Wiche Phaye's gaze turned around on the faces of the Ye family's father and son, Ye Fulai's meaning was already very clear, the Tang people had more than 100,000 in the Patani, and the Tai tribe was only 350,000, and the combat strength could not be compared with the Tang people.
If Siam wants to control this Pattani, as it is now, it must rely on these Tang people who also believe in the Buddha, whether they are Mahayana or Mahayana, they are always similar, far more reliable than those Malays who believe in Fangjiao.
And Wichephiya also understood that the only way to make Pattani rich was to rely on the Tang people, and as for the Malays, look at what they had done to the good fertile fields along the Tani River, and the output of such fertile land was almost the same as that of the Tang people on the slopes of the hills.
"Father!" Ye Kai's mind turned, and he pretended to have a slightly reproachful tone, "You and I are both nobles of Siam, and His Majesty the First King has promised you the post of Deputy Governor of Pattani, so we should serve the king regardless of everything, how can we talk about rewards?" ”
Witchiphaya looked at the father and son who played the double reed in front of him with a smile, although Ye Fulai just wanted a deputy governor, but the governor of Pattani must be stationed in Songkhla, the Ye family is not only the head of the local land, but also the deputy governor, this is equivalent to the circle around Pattani City, and it has become the fief of the Ye family!
After thinking carefully for half a minute, Wiche Phiya estimated that in fact, the probability of the first king agreeing to the conditions of the Ye family is quite high, because whether it is Songkhla or Pattani, they are now facing a problem, that is, there are many Malays and few Thais.
If the Thai people want to rule with less and more, they must unite with the Tang people, who are similar to the Malays in culture and beliefs.
Otherwise, with the Malays, Dutch, and British of other faiths and religions eyeing each other, and the Malays making trouble inside, Siam's rule in Pattani would not have been too stable.
Although the number of Chinese in Pattani is smaller than that of the Malays, they are stronger than the Malays and know how to operate better!
What's more, not only Pattani has Tang people, Kuala Terengganu also has them, and Kuala Terengganu has almost no Thai people, Siamese wants to have this rich land, it must unite with the Tang people, the Tang people use Siamese to resist the threat from the Dutch, and Siam needs to ensure that Pattani and other places will always belong to them through the Tang people.
What's more, Wiche Phaya's grandmother and the mother of the first king is a mixed Tang and Tairao, and his maternal great-grandfather, the grandfather of the first king, is simply a Chaoshan person, and Wiche Phaya is also closer to the Tang people in his heart.
"Please rest assured, His Majesty the First King has long been going to share the land of Malay with the Tang people, and some rewards and official positions are naturally what you deserve, as long as you take Adullah. Sha, I will immediately play Your Majesty and appoint you as the Vice-Governor of Pattani! ”
