Chapter 655: The Book of the State (Seeking Reading)
Everyone in the tent nodded together after listening to Jia Ke's words, now that several parties have an absolute advantage, there is no need to engage in those conspiracies, and they should be upright before they salute.
So Jia Ke ordered someone to write a letter of state, and then sent a Cambodian to act as a messenger to deliver it to the king of Thailand.
After Jia Ke ordered someone to deliver the credentials, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn't just stay.
So Jia Ke took advantage of this time to order the regular army under his command to go to the prisoner camp and conduct a unified training of the hundreds of thousands of captured Annan prisoners.
This training did not require them to make much progress in combat effectiveness, but only required them to carry out orders and prohibitions, and to be able to cooperate with the Central Plains troops in the conquest.
The Cambodian left the camp with Jia Ke's credentials and entered the Thai border, and was discovered by Thai soldiers before he had gone far.
It turned out that Jia Ke came to the border of Thailand with his men and horses, and did not make any cover-up, the king of Thailand had discovered this army, he did not know Jia Ke's intentions, so he sent the elite of the whole country to set up camp in the territory opposite Jia Ke's army, in order to guard against Jia Ke.
So the messenger didn't go far before he was spotted by the soldiers patrolling the border and taken to the camp.
At this time, the commander of this army was the younger brother of the king of Thailand, Alongtai.
This man received a report from the soldiers under his command, saying that the Central Plains army on the opposite side had sent a letter of state, and he did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered someone to bring the messenger into his big tent.
When the Cambodian messenger saw the brother of the King of Thailand, he immediately trembled with fright, and fell to his knees on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
What is your way? It turns out that the current Thailand is the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and the national power is at its peak, and the small countries of the 4 weeks are all vassal states of Thailand.
The only countries in Indochina that can compete with Thailand are Myanmar and Annam.
However, these two countries are not inferior to Thailand in terms of military strength, but they are much worse than Thailand in terms of economic strength, so Thailand is a well-deserved number one power in the southeast peninsula.
This envoy had long revered Thailand, and now that he was sent to deliver a letter to Thailand, he was already apprehensive, but now when he saw the brother of the king of Thailand, he was too frightened to speak.
Alontai glanced contemptuously at the messenger kneeling on the ground, and then said to the guards next to him, "Take the letter of state and show it to me." ”
The guards came to the Cambodian envoy, searched him, took out the credentials, and then held them in both hands and sent them to Alongtai.
Alongtai took the letter and opened it to see that it was written in Thai and Chinese.
The general content is: this king is, the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty, the Yan King Prime Minister Jia Ke, the commander of the army came to the border, not for the side matter, just for the king of Annam to rebel against the Celestial Dynasty repeatedly violated the border, and now was defeated by our army, it is rumored that this person fled to Thailand, I ask the king of Thailand to return this person to the Celestial Empire, has settled the border.
Alongtai frowned when he got here, the content of this letter of state was a little unkind, and the tone was already very obvious, this is just to let Thailand return Ruan Zhengyu, otherwise Jia Ke will inevitably lead the troops to come.
Alongtai has long heard of the name of the Central Plains, and some time ago, Vietnam, a powerful country in the southeast, was wiped out by the Central Plains army in a few months, which made Alongtai also frightened.
Now that the Central Plains sent this letter of state, he couldn't call the shots, so he sent a few soldiers with this messenger and quickly went straight to the capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya City.
As a result, as soon as they sent the reality to the side of the national capital, they received news that the army of the Central Plains had begun large-scale training on the border.
When Alontai heard the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led his men and horses to sneak out of the country quietly and came to a small hill to see the other party's scene.
This look made him frightened, only to see that the army of the Central Plains was neatly arrayed there, and these people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, advancing one or two miles in formation, and the formation was not scattered.
Alontai compared the troops in front of him with the men and horses under his command, and immediately felt very frustrated.
Now he had to admit that he learned that the army in the Central Plains was indeed much more elite than the men and horses under his command, and if he fought against his own side, he was afraid that the losses would be much greater than that of the other party.
Seeing this, Alontai was also in no mood, and when he returned to the big tent and pondered on the strategy against the enemy, there was a report from the Malay: those trained troops were not the elite of the Central Plains at all, they were just captives of the Annam Kingdom.
When Alontai heard the news, he only felt that everything was burning, originally he thought that what he saw was the elite of the Beijing camp, thinking that although it was said that the combat strength was a little different, but he could still hold on to the other party, but he didn't expect that these people were just Annam's captive soldiers.
After thinking about it all night, he did not dare to slack off, and wrote a letter himself, which was sent to Kyoto by horse.
On the envoy's side, the messenger arrived in the capital of Thailand in just five days.
Besides, the current capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya City, is a song and dance, and there is no breath of war.
And in the royal palace of the King of Thailand, a grand banquet is now being held.
King Tanmaroja is old and not as diligent in government as he was when he was younger, but he is still the rightful king of Thailand, and all the power is in his hands.
And the protagonist of this banquet is his son-in-law Nguyen Thanh Ngoc.
Since Ruan Zhengyu fled to Thailand, he took advantage of the tandem of the Thai princess to ask Thailand to send troops to help him return to the country.
However, the whole of Thailand was very afraid of the Central Plains Celestial Empire, which could easily exterminate Annan, although he received countless gold, silver and jewelry from Ruan Zhengyu, but no one did anything for him, so the time dragged on for so long, and Ruan Zhengyu did not get the promise of the king of Thailand.
However, things have taken a turn for the better, and some time ago there was news on the border that hundreds of thousands of soldiers led by the Central Plains Celestial Empire had conquered Thailand's vassal Cambodia and stationed their soldiers and horses on the border of Thailand.
Nguyen Zhengyu used the news to wander around the banquet and lobby for the Thai elites.
And the king of Thailand, Tanmaroja, sat on the throne and couldn't help but pout as he watched Nguyen Zhengyu jump up and down below.
When the banquet was reaching its climax, suddenly a servant-like man came to the ear of the King of Thailand and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Tanmaraja's face immediately changed, and then he ignored the people at the banquet and quietly left.
Maybe others didn't pay attention to the king's departure, but Ruan Zhengyu could see it clearly, and he frowned, what could the king do now, he actually left in the middle of the banquet.
Speaking of the King of Thailand, Tammaraja, after leaving the banquet hall, he came to a small palace next to it.
As soon as he was finished on the throne, he brought in several foreign envoys outside.
One of the Cambodians was very conspicuous that a certain person came to the king's throne and immediately fell to his knees.
Tanmaraja did not look at the messenger, but glanced at one of the servants beside him, who immediately came to the messenger and said softly, "Where is the state letter?" ”
When the Cambodian heard this, he did not dare to slack off, so he took out the credentials from his bosom and gave them to the messenger in both hands.
A servant took the letter and came to the throne and brought it to the king.
Tanmaroja took the credentials, opened them, looked at them carefully, and frowned.
This is to let him hand over his son-in-law and let the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty dispose of it at will, although Tanmaroja doesn't care about Ruan Zhengyu's life or death, but if Ruan Zhengyu is handed over like this, then in the future, in the southeast peninsula, what majesty will Thailand have?
However, if Ruan Zhengyu is not handed over, depending on the meaning of this national letter, the two countries will inevitably exchange troops.
The king of Thailand is still somewhat self-aware, although he can dominate the southeast peninsula, but compared to the behemoth in the Central Plains, Thailand's national strength is simply not worth mentioning.
While the king was in a dilemma, another servant hurried in, whispered a few words in the king's ear, and the king frowned, and then winked, and the servant bowed down and withdrew in a short time, and entered the palace with a letter, and then respectfully handed it to the League.
The king took it and woke up, opened it, and saw that it was an urgent letter from his brother Alontai, who had sent it quickly.
The content of the letter was also very simple, that is, he told the king that he had seen the Central Plains army training the prisoners of Annam, and told the king that if he was engaged, he would only be able to resist for seven days.
The original king was hesitant to leave and right, but now that he received the letter, he immediately understood what he had to do.
The king of Thailand has now put aside his family affection and made a judgment in favor of Thailand, Ruan Zhengyu still has to hand it over, after all, his arms can't twist his thighs, there is no need to let Thailand suffer heavy losses for such a person, and even destroy the country in the end, if so, how can he be worthy of his ancestors and ancestors?
Having made up his mind, Tanmaraja glanced at the servant beside him, who immediately came to the king and bowed his head to listen to his command.
"You take someone, put Ruan Zhengyu under house arrest, and wait for my fate."
The servant received the order, and immediately left the little palace, and broke into the hall where the banquet was held, with dozens of soldiers outside.
At this time, Ruan Zhengyu was in a corner of the hall thinking hard about what was going on with the King of Thailand, and Ruan Zhengyu was already a little bit of a bow and snake shadow there.
At this time, dozens of soldiers suddenly broke in, and they searched for it in the main hall and immediately found Ruan Zhengyu, so these dozens of people couldn't help but come forward and tied Ruan Zhengyu strongly.
The princes and nobles in the banquet hall were in an uproar when they saw this.
The crown prince of Thailand, Na Li Xuan, was also in the banquet hall at this time, and he had the best relationship with Ruan Zhengyu, and he very much agreed with Ruan Zhengyu's ability to conquer the east and the west to expand the country.
Now he saw that Ruan Zhengyu was taken by the soldiers, and immediately stepped forward to stop the soldiers.
"What do you do? Do you know who was arrested? ”
And a servant next to him, seeing that it was the prince who was blocking him, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to give the prince a salute.
Na Lixuan asked with a cloudy face: "What the hell is going on, who asked you to arrest people." ”
In fact, the prince already had a judgment in his heart, but he still had some luck.
"Back to the prince's words, it was the king who ordered me to arrest Ruan Zhengyu."
When Na Lixuan heard that it was his father's order, he did not dare to stop him in any way.
