Chapter 438: Losing money by cutting land

"I'm Kema, what's the matter with you?" But Ma didn't wait long, stood up and said.

"General Kema, I have admired the name for a long time, I am the pro-army of His Royal Highness the Third Prince..."

"Alright, I got it. What do you want to tell me? But Ma's face showed the impatience of the superior.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked me to bring news that this city wall was blown up by the Celestial Empire Army. They blew up this time but did not let the coalition attack for the sake of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity for you to recognize the strength of the coalition army. The Celestial Empire Army can blow you up once, and it can blow you up twice. So don't resist. Although Ke Ma was an untouchable figure for him before, after seeing Ke Ma's indifferent face, Wu Mo also showed arrogance that did not belong to him.

Seeing that Ke Ma didn't react, Wu Mo continued: "I know that many of you are definitely not convinced, and you also feel that you look down on His Royal Highness the Third Prince. But do you know how strong the coalition forces are outside? ”

"Not to mention the countless troops, there are more than 200 artillery pieces that can be observed when the Yi army is exposed. I have the honor to witness with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, that artillery down is a large pit that can lie on the horizon of several people, you think, 200 artillery bombardment against a city wall, how many people are enough for you to fill? ”

When Wu Mo said this, many of the defenders were panicked, and the discussion continued, even Ke Ma, who had always felt that he could fight, couldn't help but panic a little in his heart.

"Moreover, this is only exposed, and it is not clear how much is not revealed." Wu Mo seemed to have just remembered it, and added a sentence at the end. And this sentence suddenly broke Ke Ma's firm heart.

"Impossible, no matter how powerful the Yi army is, it is impossible to transfer so many artillery pieces at once. You're just trying to fool us. Kema questioned.

"General Kema, do you know that the military sticker has surrendered. There is still a steady stream of firearms coming in from the coalition forces. The strength of the Celestial Empire is not something we can imagine. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is good for you, and the Heavenly Empire is willing to give you the opportunity to surrender. If you continue to be obsessed. When the time comes, the coalition forces will really slaughter the city. Wu Mo's voice seemed to be raised a few times.

"And when the time comes, it will be our Siamese soldiers who will attack you first, do you want to fight with us?"

If Kema was still skeptical of Maroguo's words at the beginning, then Maroguo's words were finally verified at this moment. And what is even more ruthless is that attacking the enemy's city with the enemy's army, regardless of the casualties on both sides, consumes the strength of the country.

Once the attrition of both sides is too high, even if the defense is successful, the country's power will be wiped out.

"What a ruthless scheme." Kema said secretly.

Would Wenlin not know about such a thing? He must have understood. But the battle with the Yi army left him with no hope. Whether to endure humiliation and steal life or perish, obviously, he can only choose the former.

After all, if you die, there is nothing.

Even if he has to cede the land and pay compensation for peace, he must do it.

Because the Yi Dynasty did not go on an expedition on its own, but took the surrounding countries to conquer Siam together. As the saying goes, it is difficult to defeat four fists with both hands, and even if Siam is strong, it cannot withstand the siege of several countries. Moreover, Siam is not as powerful as it is compared to the Yi Dynasty.

Fortunately, the Yi Dynasty established the Suzerain's United Nations, as long as he joined the Suzerain's United Nations after ceding land and paying compensation according to the agreement, he could do nothing else.

The lesser of the two powers, so even if Yi Chao asked him to lead troops to attack the city, Wenlin could only do it without hesitation. After all, if it is really handed over to the coalition forces to attack the city, they will really slaughter the city.

You must know that Siam and Annan now have a great enmity, and Siam slaughtered all the royal family members there when they attacked the Cambodian royal city of Angkor, and many people were not spared.

Champa and Siam have no grudges, but that doesn't prevent them from falling into the ground. And Vientiane and Champasak, who have become doglegs, now resentful of Siam, and will never let go if they have a chance to retaliate.

There are many enemies, and if it weren't for the Yi Dynasty suppressing it, Siam would definitely be torn apart by the coalition forces. It can be said that for the Siamese cities that refused to surrender, even Wenlin could not find a reason for the armies of these countries to let them go.

Is Yi Chao's strength strong?

Kema doesn't question this at all. The city wall that seemed impregnable to him was no different from paper paste in Yijun's eyes, and it collapsed in less than a day.

With such a gap, how much morale can there be, not to mention that the first to attack them will be the Siamese soldiers. Cannibalism among one's own people is even more disadvantageous for the defenders.

It's clear that it's okay to surrender, so why fight?

For the sake of the officials in the city who insulted the envoys of the Yi Dynasty? Or is it for the sake of the king of the present?

Obviously, none of this could convince the defenders of the city. After all, they surrendered not to become slaves, but to kill some ministers, and the throne has changed from the current king to the third prince Wenlin.

It's none of your business, hang high. No matter who the throne is changed to, it will not affect them much. So, how could they risk their lives.

Day

Kema looked at the clear sky, and it seemed that he didn't have it.

Location

But Ma looked at the gap in the wall again, and it was already lost.

As for the people

Looking at the whispering guards on the city wall, Ke Ma could only say nothing.

"What else is there to fight, I can't fight." An inner voice emerged in Kema's mind.

……

At the end of June of the 23rd year of Qianlong, the king of Siam, Wu Lunshi, ordered the execution of a number of officials in the court who humiliated the envoys of the Celestial Empire.

In July, Wu Lunshi signed an agreement to cede land and pay reparations for the coalition forces, and abdicated to make way for the third prince Wenlin. Subsequently, the coalition forces withdrew.

The new king ascended the throne and sent an envoy to the Yi Dynasty to request canonization.

A month later, Wu Lunshi fell ill and died.

"Father, my son will definitely guard the rest of the country for you." In front of the Wulun Spiritual Throne, Wen Lin secretly swore an oath.

Wen Lin was deeply touched by everything Wu Lunshi did. And for Yi Chao, he is grateful and hateful.

If it weren't for the support of the Yi Dynasty, he might not have been able to sit on the throne. However, the Yi Dynasty also forced his father to death, and at the same time, after the reparations for the cession of land, the originally powerful Siam became weaker.

—————

However, what Wenlin didn't know was that, according to historical development, Wu Lunshi also died of illness this year, and then Ayutthaya was attacked by Myanmar due to the unknown royal power, and a number of royal family members were slaughtered.

Although Siam experienced land reparations, in the dark, the Yi Dynasty saved their Siam.

………

Guangzhou, the Imperial Palace.

It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a courtyard with four entrances and four directions. Compared with many princely mansions in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is really "shabby", but no one dares to doubt that it is the center of power.

In fact, for the palace, according to Zhang Rui's intentions, it is enough to live, and there is no need to get any new palaces. However, the ministers refused, how could they make the palace of a large country look shabby, how could they suppress the widows of that small country?

Thus, the new palace was under construction.

"Your Majesty, the latest information has come from the Yunnan border that the Manchus have no intention of fighting Burma again in order to deal with the rebellion in Sichuan. They were prepared to sign an agreement with Burma, in which Burma would submit to their vassals, and the Manchus would cede Maliba (i.e., Kokang) and other places and 'give' 50,000 taels of silver in exchange for Burmese withdrawals. The commander of the shadow guard made Du Mu come to Zhang Rui with the military information in his hand and said.
