Chapter 785: The Surrender of Siam (1)
Two days later, the old Siamese king returned to the city of Bangkok, looking at the Bangkok in front of him, the old Siamese king felt a variety of grains in his heart.
A month ago, he was still a high king, but because of the momentary anger, he took advantage of the fire to rob and kill Burma, so that he was suddenly surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army that also attacked Burma, not only more than 200,000 troops were wiped out, but even he was captured by the Ming army, from a high king to a captive who was slaughtered by others.
It would have been nice if he hadn't led the army to take advantage of the fire to loot and kill Burma.
No! Thinking of this, the Burmese king immediately shook his head, the strategy of the Ming Dynasty was already obvious, not only to destroy Burma, but also to destroy the Siamese country, and even to destroy the Nanzhang and Zhendian countries. Even if he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob and kill the army in Burma, after the Ming army destroyed Burma, it would also attack his Siamese country, and even if his elite army in Siam was still there, he would not be able to resist the attack of the Ming army, after all, he had already deeply experienced the combat effectiveness of the Ming army when it was in Taunggyi.
Now that Burma has been completely destroyed, and the Ming army has successively captured half of his Siamese country, the reason why he will be released back is just that the Ming army wants to persuade him to surrender Siam. He knew very well that this was by no means that the Ming army did not have the strength to completely capture his Siam, and that if he did not have news of Piji within three days, the Ming army would soon come to the city of Bangkok and turn Bangkok into ruins.
After the old Siamese king sighed sadly, he was determined to persuade the whole Siamese to surrender to the Ming army and avoid the entire Siamese country from being destroyed by war.
"Father!" The new King of Siam suddenly came out with a group of Siamese officials to meet the old King of Siam.
"See Your Majesty!" A group of Siamese officials also saluted the old Siamese king.
As early as when the Ming army put the old Siamese king back, they notified the Siamese country first, but the Siamese horses were scarce, and the speed of news transmission was too slow, and the old Siamese king sat in a two-horse carriage provided by the Ming army, and there were ten Ming cavalry escorts, and the speed of the march was extremely fast, so that when the old Siamese king was about to arrive in Bangkok, the news was transmitted to Bangkok, and the new Siamese king and several ministers hurriedly went out of the city to greet them.
"Your Majesty?" The old Siamese king laughed at himself, glanced at the new Siamese king and said, "He is your majesty now!" ”
The old Siamese king already knows that the new Siamese king is his third son, to be honest, the old Siamese king is still very uncomfortable, from the day the third son became the new Siamese king, it was less than half a month since he was captured by the Ming army, and the first time these ministers thought about how to save him back, but they were the first to welcome the new king.
Although he can understand that the Ming army is strong, these ministers are helpless, but after all, they will still be very uncomfortable.
After the old Siamese king finished speaking, he ignored the reaction of the new Siamese king and several ministers, and walked past them towards the city of Bangkok.
Several Siamese ministers looked embarrassed, they never thought that the Ming army would take the initiative to release the old Siamese king back, otherwise they would not have set up a new king so quickly, now they don't know how to face the old king.
The new Siamese king was equally embarrassed and shameless to the old king. However, the new King of Siam is also very aggrieved, and it is not that he is competing to be the king, he was originally just a dispensable third prince, where did he think that one day several important ministers suddenly came to his house and said that he was the new king, and this is how he became the new king, and now he already knows that this new king is a pit, a deep pit that can pit him to death.
Back at the royal palace in Bangkok, the old Siamese king first went to meet the old princess and a few favorite concubines in the harem.
About half an hour later, the old Siamese king suddenly summoned all the officials and noble royal family members and so on.
When these people came, the old Siamese king did not talk nonsense, and directly said that he asked them to agree to the surrender of the whole country to the Ming Dynasty.
"What! Want the whole country to surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Someone exclaimed.
"If you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, won't the Siamese kingdom be destroyed!"
In an instant, in this meeting hall, everyone was stunned, the new Siamese king, a bunch of ministers, nobles, royal family, etc., no one did not look at the old Siamese king with wide eyes.
They never thought that the first thing the old king did when he returned to Bangkok was not to organize them to resist the Ming army, but to persuade them to surrender the whole country to the Ming army.
It's incredible, it's terrifying! No, it's not
Maybe it's reasonable, the Ming army would be so kind to release the old king back? Isn't it just to let the old king come back and surrender the whole country?
At this moment, the expressions of the people present became strange when they saw the old king, some people tended to agree, and there were many moves in their expressions, and naturally some people tended to oppose them, and there were many angry expressions in their expressions.
"Your Majesty, in this way, won't the ancestral inheritance of hundreds of years be gone!" The first to stand up were the members of the royal family with the old Siamese king.
The biggest reaction was none other than the royal families of Siam.
If Siam is still there, they are a noble royal family, high up, but once Siam is destroyed, they will be nothing, and they may not even be as good as ordinary people.
After all, no kingdom has perished in the past dynasties, and the royal family has a good end.
At least when they were in the state of Siam, the royal family of the previous dynasty was slaughtered by their ancestors.
Now that the Kingdom of Siam is about to be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, how can they not be afraid.
Originally, the Ming army was like a broken bamboo, and the news that the city was captured by the Ming army came like a tide, and I don't know when the Ming army was going to hit Bangkok, which was enough to make them afraid, but now, the old king had just come back and planned to surrender the whole country to the Ming army, what should they do with the royal family, even if the Ming army did not kill them, they were used to the glory and wealth, and then let them be ordinary people, which made them more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Yes, father, the foundation of the ancestors for a hundred years can't be destroyed like this!" The King of New Siam also spoke.
"Where is your place to speak!" The old king glared at him.
In what capacity is this third son speaking, the new king? Then what is he, the old king?
was glared at by the old king, and the new Siamese king immediately shut up. After all, the old king has been a king for decades, and his authority is very deep, especially for the sons under his knees, he usually dare not speak when he scolds him, and the new Siamese king has naturally formed a habit.
Pretending to be sultry: the Great Song Dynasty ruffian
