Two hours later, Wu Ruxiao sent Bourblon out, looking at Bourbulon who was still depressed, Wu Ruxiao couldn't help but wonder what His Majesty had summoned Bourbulon to the imperial study to talk about secretly, which made the Frenchman, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, so distracted.

Before leaving the Xiaguan dock, Burbulon spoke a little in foreign language, and Wu Ruxiao asked several of the entourages next to him to each memorize a piece of death, and went back to ask Wu Chongyao to translate: God, Napoleon the Great said, "China is a sleeping lion, but when it wakes up, the whole world will tremble, it better not wake up, let her fall asleep!" "But now, the lion has begun to wake up, and is led by a wise and cunning emperor no less than his own, and it won't be long before the lion will come out in search of food.

When Wu Ruxiao reported this to Feng Yunshan, the emperor just smiled and didn't say anything, but he was surprised by the eyes of Bourblon and the Napoleon Great.

Indeed, as Bourblon said, the Chinese Empire has now risen to a certain extent. In later history, Japan overthrew the shogunate and implemented the Meiji Restoration, and in just over ten years, it began to take shape, and finally became the only world power in the East, invading everywhere. This is also on the basis of Japan's small territory and lack of resources, and Feng Yunshan has reason to believe that with the wealth in his hands and the rich resources of the empire, it will never be slower than Japan. At the moment, the most important thing is the time of development.

But we can't just focus on domestic development. At that time, less than a year after the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government and the opposition put forward the "theory of conquering Korea", and then continued to prepare a plan to invade Korea, and finally succeeded in occupying Korea more than 20 years later, and defeated the Qing State, the largest power in Asia, in the First Sino-Japanese War, ceded Taiwan, etc., received a huge amount of reparations, and successfully entered the ranks of the world powers. Therefore, I also have to look out partially. What's more, I have a vision far beyond this era, how can I not understand what kind of era this is?

It can be said that the main boundaries of the later states were determined during this period. And this period is the last period of colonial expansion, because after that, the world has been almost divided up by the European and American powers, and the more later, the modern national independence and liberation movement of thought comes, and the colonies have collapsed, unless it is like the United States in later generations, it has worked hard to make each occupied colony a part of the territory directly under its jurisdiction, but even so, the Philippine Islands it colonized are still independent. On the one hand, the Philippines is after all a Southeast Asian region, too far away from the United States, and on the other hand, it was occupied too late and soon affected by the collapse of the colonial system of the whole world, which is also a major factor.

Therefore, Feng Yunshan decided to take advantage of this last feast to grab some survival territory for the Chinese ethnic group, make up for the regret that the world's most populous Han and even the Chinese nation could only crowd in the land of their ancestors in later generations, and prevent future generations from often having the atrocities of Chinese people being beaten and looted in the monkey country again. Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan felt that the burden on his body was a little heavy.

"I came to this time and space in this world, at least I can't leave regrets!" Feng Yunshan chuckled: "If there are such good conditions and good opportunities, it will not be able to push Huaxia to the peak of the national forest, and there are few overseas territories that still blindly stay in the land of the ancestors, and future generations will not know what they will be scolded by those angry youths!" Even for that, well, it should be so......"

……

A month and a half later, inside the Siam Palace. Monku was the king of the country, and the neighboring countries always referred to him as Rama IV, but Monku himself did not realize that when he became king, he was separated from mortals, and really became generations. On the contrary, after twenty-seven years as a monk, he took over the throne from his elder brother, allowing him to look at himself and his kingdom very calmly.

This is a turbulent era, I am ambitious, but what can I do......

Meng Ku paced back and forth in the main hall with some anxiety, looking at the few ministers and the two national teachers under the steps and bowing their heads without saying a word, sighing secretly in his heart.

More than three months ago, the British minister to the Far East, Bao Ling, led 500 soldiers to drive two warships into the estuary outside Bangkok.

Bao Ling directly stated that the seclusion of Siam had harmed the interests of the British Empire in the Far East, and demanded that he accede to his request for the founding of the country and sign the "Anglo-Siamese Treaty of Commerce" with him.

The Governor translated the contents of the treaty, which included consular jurisdiction over Siam by the British, tariffs on goods not exceeding 3%, citizens were free to enter Siam, and British warships were free to sail into the mouth of the Chao Phraya River to Bangkok. Such arrogance and unreasonableness made him extremely angry, but he always knew that the armed forces of Britain, France and other Western powers were strong, and it was simply difficult to directly confront the forces of Siam. However, he had an idea, saying that Siam has always been a vassal state of the Chinese Celestial Empire, and now that the Chinese Empire has been established, he has also declared himself a vassal to the Chinese Empire, and to sign such a treaty, he is a vassal king, and he does not have this right, but also needs to play to the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

When the British minister Bao Ling heard that the Chinese Empire was involved, his face changed, and he just snorted coldly, saying that he would ask the emperor of the Chinese Empire for verification, and said that if it was a subject country of the Chinese Empire, it should open the port as a treaty port in accordance with the regulations of the Chinese Empire.

After Bao Ling left, Meng Ku's face changed, and he remembered that since the establishment of the Chinese Empire, he had not paid tribute, so he hurriedly sent someone to send a letter of seal, and rushed to the capital of the Celestial Empire, and the tribute followed. Since then, I can't help but feel uneasy every day, looking forward to the Heavenly Empire being able to smile and pay tribute and take care of one or two. However, the words of several advisers made his heart panic: the Chinese Empire is different from the original Manchu Qing Dynasty, more than half a year ago, it first annexed Vietnam, divided it into two provinces, and sent troops to directly occupy Korea a while ago, both of which are its vassal states, I wonder if they will also covet our Siam.

Worries and fears have finally been verified.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites submitted an edict from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Celestial Empire, saying that it was intended to directly send troops to punish the Bangkok Dynasty, but in view of the fact that it had recently paid tribute to the Imperial Dynasty and praised it without punishment, and heard that an envoy from the Western Yingyi Kingdom had recently come to Bangkok to threaten Er, etc., the Celestial Empire was furious, and it was hereby dealt with as follows: The Celestial Empire sent troops to protect the coastal area of Tuna, and all the defenses along the Gulf of Siam were handed over to the Celestial Empire. The four princely states of Terengganu and Perlis were all handed over to the direct management of the Celestial Empire, and troops were stationed in charge of defense.

The three existing vassal states of Siam, Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Champasak, because they were originally vassal states of Annam, are now directly paying tribute to the Celestial Empire, and they are bordering the two provinces of Cochin and Nippon that are now bordered by the Celestial Empire.

This, this heavenly kingdom is shameless to such an extent, more fierce and more wolfish than that Yingji!

Monku immediately refused. But the prime minister and the national teacher he relied on stopped him, saying that it was okay to do this, at least Siam would not have to deal with those Western countries, and Siam could be governed with peace of mind, and the people's customs would continue to be simple.

After speaking, the prime minister showed him the map of Siam's territory. To the north is the province of Cochin and Burma of the Celestial Empire, to the west is Burma, and it is said that it has also paid tribute to the Celestial Empire, and to the east is the Celestial Empire's Cochin Province and Ninan Province, that is to say, Siam's northeast and west sides are surrounded by the Celestial Empire, and if the Malay Province in the south of Siam is handed over to the Celestial Empire according to this edict of the Celestial Empire, the entire Siam will be changed from a maritime country to a landlocked country.

Hum! In this way, Siam is really simple and simple! In the whole of Siam, except for the main Siamese people, all the Khmer settlements in the east were included in Ninan Province, and the Muslim Malays in the south were handed over to the Celestial Dynasty to manage on their behalf, and the rest were Chinese! Maybe when those Chinese people will all run away, or even rebel.

Naturally, Monku was not willing to do this!
