"Is the Ming army about to hit Bangkok?" The King of New Siam said with a pale face.

Yes, it was the New Siamese King.

Since the news that the King of Siam was captured by the Ming army in Taunggyi, Burma reached the Kingdom of Siam, the main concern of the people of Siam was not how to rescue the King of China, but to immediately set up a new kingdom to stabilize the situation, which is how the King of New Siam came.

These days, the Ming army is in full swing, and the news that the city has been captured by the Ming army is piled up on the desk of the new Siamese king.

Now that even the largest town in central China has been captured by the Ming army, doesn't it mean that the army has completely captured half of their Siamese country. And Bangkok is more than 400 miles south of Piji, if the Ming army continues to move south, the next target will be Bangkok.

What to use to resist the Ming army! This is what worries the king of the new Siam the most.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is powerful, and the domestic elite has been completely lost in Dongggyi, and now there is no strength to stop the Ming army, I hope Your Majesty will prepare early!" A Siamese official said with a sad face.

One by one, the other officials were silent.

In addition to saying this, they really couldn't think of a way to resist the Ming army, after all, if there was a way to resist the Ming army, it would not allow the Ming army to occupy half of the country in less than ten days.

"Irresistible? Preparing early? The king of New Siam sat on the king's chair, full of weakness.

After a while, the new King of Siam stood up angrily again.

"Prepare? Hehe, what preparations are you making to surrender to the Ming army? If this is the case, my kingdom of Siam will be destroyed, why did you still appoint me as the new king in the first place, so that I might be the king of this ruined country? Or is it said that if you abandon the capital like the Burmese king and avoid the Ming army for a short time, you can live a moment longer? ”

The new King of Siam felt angry and felt that he was being played like a monkey.

Originally, he was just an ordinary prince, and there were two older brothers on him, and generally those two elder brothers were the best candidates to inherit the new king, but in the end, it was when he was made the new king, and when he really ascended the throne, he was quite excited, and felt that his luck was too good. But at this moment, he clearly knew that it was not his luck, but his stupidity! Silly!

Those people did not have the confidence to resist the Ming army from the beginning, if the Siamese kingdom was destroyed, the most unlucky person would be, it must be him, the king, the reason why the two brothers were willing to give up the throne to him, I am afraid that they were afraid that the Ming army would be the first to be unlucky after the invasion of Bangkok!

The king of New Siam felt that he was the one who had been pushed out to be the king of the fallen country.

"Your Majesty, our country is densely forested, we can also avoid the dense forest, and do a long-term struggle with the Ming army, I believe that one day the Ming army will retreat, and then Siam will still be Siam, and you will still be the king of Siam!" An official said.

Hearing this, the new King of Siam immediately became even more angry!

Hiding in the woods? Isn't that a bandit? Could it be that abandoning the capital and hiding in the dense forest could bring down the Ming army in the future? Joke about it! Moreover, he glanced at a few ministers with a strange color in his anger, and he didn't think that a few of these ministers and nobles would follow him into the dense forest.

"Nope! If I want to die, I will die in Bangkok, and I will fight the Ming army in Bangkok until the last moment! The New Siamese King roared angrily.

He didn't want to be the king of the fallen country, let alone a bandit in the jungle, and with anger, the king of New Siam said such a sentence.

The faces of the Siamese officials present immediately darkened, but no one dared to make any statement.

By September 25, the Ming army had completely occupied all the territory of the northeastern and central parts of Siam, and half of Siam was already under the control of the Ming army.

On September 26, all four regular armies of the Ming army gathered in the city of Piji.

"Now that our army has shown enough pressure, it's time to directly attack Bangkok, the capital of Siam, and force Siam to surrender!" Zhou Cao, commander of the Ming army, said.

"Yes, presumably at this time, the whole country of Siam cannot afford to have the will to fight against my army, it should not be difficult to force the new Siamese to surrender, and we have another trump card in our hands, the old King of Siam captured in Taunggyi!" The red lady said.

Although it is said that the old Siamese king has been captured, and Siam has set up a new king, it does not mean that the old Siamese king has no influence in Siam, in fact, even if the old Siamese king is captured, his influence in Siam is definitely greater than that of the new king, after all, the old Siamese king has ruled Siam for nearly 30 years, and it is not something that a fledgling kid like New Siam can compare.

Zhou Cao nodded.

The main reason why the army did not directly attack Bangkok, the capital of Siam, and capture Bangkok at the beginning, but advanced slowly on multiple roads and captured every city along the way, was to form a strong pressure and find a way to force the King of Siam to surrender.

In fact, Zhou Cao and others were not worried at all about not being able to capture Bangkok, the capital of Siam, and what they were most worried about was that the new King of Siam would flee into the dense forest and resist for a long time. Although the army is not afraid of the long-term resistance of the king of New Siam, and is confident that the king of New Siam will be exterminated in the dense forest, if the king of New Siam can be forced to surrender, this is the most beneficial thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, if the whole country of Siam surrenders, it will have a great exemplary role in persuading the Ming Dynasty to surrender to Nanzhang and Zhendian.

At this moment, the pressure created by the first strong capture of half of Siam was not only to oppress Siam, but also to oppress the other two small states of Nanzhang and Zhendian. The purpose is already very clear, the Ming Dynasty is more inclined to conquer Burma and Siam, send people to persuade the two small countries of Nanzhang and Zhendian, and take Nanzhang and Zhendian without using troops, and this strategic purpose, Zhou Cao and others are executing.

"Bring the old King of Siam!" Zhou Cao ordered.

After a while, the old King of Siam was brought up.

After capturing the old Siamese king in Taunggyi, the Ming army did not treat him badly, at least the old Siamese king did not worry about food and clothing in the Ming army, and no one embarrassed him, and at this moment the old Siamese king will play his last role.

Zhou Cao's purpose in calling the old King of Siam was very simple, that is, to let him go back to Bangkok and persuade the new King of Siam and the courtiers of the King of Siam to take the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

In order to make the old Siamese king cooperate well, Zhou Cao also personally conveyed the instructions of the Ming court, promising the old Siamese king that as long as Siamese took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would arrange for the old Siamese king's family to live in the Ming Dynasty Nanjing City, and would also canonize the old Siamese king as the prince of the country, so that the old Siamese king could continue to be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life in the future.

Such conditions undoubtedly made the old King of Siam very tempted.

The powerful old Siamese king of the Ming Dynasty already had a deep understanding, and he knew very well that taking the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty was the only way out for him in Siam, so the old Siamese king immediately agreed to Zhou Cao's proposal.

On the same day, Zhou Cao sent someone to escort the old Siamese king to Bangkok to persuade him to surrender, while the Ming army rested in Piji and waited for the final result.
