Chapter 805: Why is it all reversed all at once?

The east warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace is full of strong sour and hot fragrance. Chen Ming and Chen Cong were hungry almost as soon as they smelled the fragrance.

After looking at the time, it was already past two o'clock, and it was indeed time to be hungry.

Although this fragrance has hit a fork, although Chen Ming's accumulated anger is still churning-damn it, there are people in Thonburi who are rebelling.

Three or four months after the victory of the Siamese army in the Burmese War, a large number of captured [people and goods] were sent back to Siam, it is reasonable to say that this is the time when Zheng Xin's prestige in Siam will reach its highest - Siam and Burma are mortal enemies, but Zheng Xin was overthrown by his men.

People are sent to the temple to become monks, what is this?

and the rebellious Gelongkun Anura Songkan - Zheng Xin's nephew and the grandson of Zheng Xin's father, but Zheng Xin has always been very generous to Gelongkun Anurasongkan; The conspirator Phaya Sanka - the commander of the Praetorian Guard in Thonburi and one of Zheng Xin's henchmen. All the Chinese instructors and instructors in the Siamese army were taken down and locked up, but there was no danger to their lives. And these two rafters were taken by the Siamese army lieutenant general Chao Phraya Chokri (Tong Luan), one of Zheng Xin's cheap fathers-in-law, the father of Princess Daqi, although he was three years younger than Zheng Xin, and the current power of Siam was actually controlled by Tong Luang, a Tai man.

It's just ridiculous.

During the rebellion of Ge Long Kun Anula Songkhan and Mou Ph Ya Sanka, the Chinese in Bangkok once organized a force to desperately reinforce Thonburi, but were defeated by a part of the Janissaries led by Phye Ya Sanka.

Now that Bangkok is controlled by the Siamese army, and Thongluang has also closed the port, do you say Chen Ming is angry?

However, the world is the biggest eater, and when he was forced by the fragrance, the hunger that he didn't know where he had gone before suddenly surged into Chen Ming's heart, "I've been talking for so long, let's eat first." "Although the matter of Siam needs to be resolved quickly, there is no hurry for this moment.

The military intelligence report was only general information, and Chen Ming didn't know many details.

Gelongkun Anurasongkan is Zheng Xin's nephew, Phaya Sanka is Zheng Xin's henchman, and Thonburi Praetorian Guard, and many previous investigations have shown that their loyalty to Zheng Xin is very high.

Why is it all reversed all at once?

And how did this ultimate right be obtained by the Thai people of Tongluan?

All of this is still a secret, and more detailed information is needed. Although this did not delay, Chen Ming ordered the Southwest Military Region and the Nanyang Naval Division to prepare to move.

The pot was served, and the beef consommé was cooked, and Chen Ming asked people to serve a bowl of soup first. It tasted really good, and he wanted to drink a bowl of beef soup when he smelled it.

Put a little pepper on the broth in the bowl and sweat after drinking it. Then take a piece of fat and thin beef slices that are half the size of a palm, and put them in the pot to dip them.

Mmmm, it tastes so good.

Chen Cong's stomach was also empty, today's event was really big, very unexpected, he didn't even drink two sips of tea in the morning, and he was really hungry when he smelled this smell at this time. asked people to come up with small steamed buns, and he ate two small steamed buns with soup to quench his hunger, and then slowly began to eat meat.

Chen Ming likes to eat fresh tofu in the soup pot, he doesn't like to put frozen tofu in it, and he also puts potato chips and rice cakes in it, "It's to blame me for forgetting the time when I talk about it." Second uncle, you eat more beef, this thing warms the stomach, nourishes the qi, and nourishes the spleen and stomach. ”

Chen Ming is now returned to the Ping'an pulse by the imperial doctor every other day, and these imperial doctors will also prescribe food and tonic prescriptions after the pulse is completed, Chen Ming has seen too much, and he can write down a lot of things.

Chen Cong turned around and poured a glass of rice wine for Chen Ming.

It's no wonder that Chen Ming forgot the time, he himself felt incredible. You know, your nephew is finally going to let Siam go. The battle of Burma made Chen Ming's impression of Zheng Xin very good, and after careful consideration, he definitely did not want to fight Siam. Where to think, this side has just set a new tone, and Siam has an accident of its own.

No matter how Thong Luang grasped the military and political power of Siam, he only sent troops into Bangkok, and this guy and his family were named on the Yama Hall of the Lord of Yama.

"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, if you can provoke your nephew, your cronies, and the loyal Praetorian Guards to rebel together, Zheng Xin must have something wrong with his faith."

The system practiced in Siam was the old rule of the previous Ayutthaya dynasty - the Sakdina system. The so-called Sakdina system is a system of sub-fiefdom of land according to rank, which was swept into the garbage heap in China 2,000 years ago. In the Sadina system, the king owned the land of the whole country, and officials and members of the royal family were not paid, but the king gave a varying amount of land according to the title. The crown prince held up to 100,000 rai of land, and the princes, dukes, marquises, earls, luans, bhikshus, wanhuhou, novices, and clerks decreased gradually, and the number of commoners was 25 rai, and the number of slaves was 5 rai. [One rai is equal to 2.4 acres]

No matter how backward this political system may be and how much it restricts the productive forces of society, the 'system' is absolutely stable in the very beginning.

Although Zheng Xin and Burma continued to have foreign wars, so that Siam could not recuperate, and the people's livelihood has not recovered, the war also made Zheng Xin have to rely more and more on the military nobles, which contributed to the expansion of the power of a large number of military nobles and weakened the centralized power.

However, after Siam, Chen Han supported it, and Siamese rice poured into China without restrictions, which made Siam even the only supernation in the world to trade with China for a period of time. The small life in Siam is still very comfortable on the whole.

Why are Chen Ming and Chen Cong surprised by the upheaval that has taken place in Thonburi? That's because Siam was really stable before.

Zheng Xin has a high prestige as a hero who expelled the Burmese invading army.

"It can only be faith, Zheng Xin's relationship with many monks is strained, and he has always wanted to control Buddhism in Siam. It must be the backlash of Buddhism, otherwise even a large number of Praetorian Guards would not have betrayed him. ”

Zheng Xin's idea of complete control of Buddhism was not hidden from Nanjing, and in Siam, he used methods such as jumping on fires and diving to test the "purity" of the monks, and asked the monks to respect themselves as Buddhas, and tortured those who did not obey, which can be said to be a deep offense against Buddhism. Death has made a new trick. But Chen Ming, who doesn't know much about history, doesn't know if Zheng Xin in history has done the same, and Zheng Xin in the original space-time plane doesn't have China to back him up. In the end, Zheng Xin was overthrown by his generals, but now it is not the same thing in history, Zheng Xin was still overthrown by opponents, and I don't know how much sin he sat down in Siam.

Anyway, Nanjing looked at some of the things Zheng Xin was doing in Siam, and really felt that he was a little dying.

"The most important thing now is Zheng Xin's life." Zheng Xin had many children, but at the moment the only one who was really in power in Siam was Prince Zhao Shui, who was the head of the logistics department of the Siamese army, and his eldest son, Ge Long Kun Lapu, was studying at Cheng Kyun Public School. Zheng Xin was interested in Zhaoshui to take over the throne, but he had not yet asked Nanjing for the title of prince.

If Zheng Xin of Siam is killed, and his sons who remain in Siam are also killed, although Chen Han can put Gelong Kun Lapu or the other two sons of Zheng Xin who studied in Nanjing to the throne, Siam is likely to turn from China's great granary into a big quagmire.

It is difficult to say that the Siamese Buddhism did not intervene in this incident, so after Chen Han put the newcomer on the throne, he will inevitably carry out a purge of the Siamese Buddhist world. As a Buddhist country, the monk's influence in Siam was very deep and deep, and countless Siamese Tai people were easily incited against China during this period. A new king without any prestige is almost Chen Han's puppet, and there are too many places to attack.

This would turn Siam from a granary for China to a quagmire of churning sewage.

From the perspective of Nanjing, where the main purpose has already been shifted, this is very bad news.

Nanyang had completely fallen into the hands of Chen Han, and Chen Ming's eyes turned to India, Russia, and North America, and China was about to expand in the true sense of the word, and even Siam became less attractive to him at this time. Of course, he didn't want to see Siam fall into chaos, and then it could spread to Burma, Annam, and so on.

There was a mess in the plan that had been made, which made Chen Ming the most unhappy.

With the development of immigration on the agenda, food has become very important. Because whether it is North America, Nanyang, or Nanmingzhou, if we want to open up large-scale immigration, food security is the first priority. The 'value' of Siam is important, it is China's largest granary abroad. No chaos!

However, what Chen Ming didn't know was that while he was muttering to Chen Cong here, the first battle between Chen Han and the Siamese army had already begun.

One side of the war was the Siamese army that controlled Bangkok, and the other side of the war was the destroyer fleet that Ye Tingyang urgently led to Bangkok.

Bangkok is the most important port in Siam, a large number of Chinese businessmen gathered there, although the area is small, but in terms of prosperity than Thonburi, which is across the river, is only above it, not below.

Although the Siamese army entered Bangkok quickly, some Chinese merchants still left the port of Bangkok. Their destination is the port of Xinkou in Phnom Penh, which is Sihanoukville, the second largest city in Cambodia in the original space-time plane.

It is a natural deep-water harbour with a depth of three to four feet and a small island as a natural breakwater, which has quickly become the rich land of Phnom Penh since its opening.

At the same time, it is also a place where the warships of the Nanyang Naval Division can come and go at will. It's good to die, Ye Tingyang led a small fleet to stay in Xinkou Port this time.

After receiving the report, Ye Tingyang immediately led the fleet to the port of Bangkok.

As an undefended port, the Port of Bangkok poses absolutely zero threat to the fleet. The few guns hastily set up by the Siamese army were not as far as the eight-pound guns on the destroyers.

The shells easily destroyed the artillery positions of the Siamese army, and then pulled the distance to a distance of 500 meters and bombarded the camp of the Siamese army with all their might, and the shells not only hit the camp, but also landed on the surrounding buildings, and soon a fire broke out.

The Nanyang sailors fired red-hot arson bombs, and the choking smoke was swept by the sea breeze and shook over the harbor of Bangkok.

Hundreds of soldiers dressed in Thonburi Praetorian Guard uniforms scurried around the port of Bangkok like headless flies, while more elderly and weak Chinese women and children huddled in their houses with their loved ones in their arms, their faces pale. But the faces of the Chinese men in Bangkok were all excited, irrepressible excitement.

Zheng Xin was really close to the Chinese, especially the immigrants from the Chaozhou region of Guangdong, who were all known as "royal Chinese" by the Tai people.

The destroyers still did not dare to dock, but they were able to lower the boat and send a battalion of marines to the port of Bangkok.

The sound of gunfire was sparse, but the sound was urgent, and the open space of the harbor was littered with bloody and dead Thonburi Janissary soldiers, and the few who were not yet breathing let out hoarse and weak calls.

Thongluang released about 2,000 men in the port of Bangkok, but less than half of the officers of these four battalions had just been taken, and the prestige of the new commander had not been established at all. In the past, these Praetorian Guard soldiers were agitated by faith and overthrew Zheng Xin's rule, and when Tong Luan led the army to approach Thonburi, the fanatical faith mood was low, and when they came to their senses, they had no fighting spirit at all, and they were almost disarmed as if they were captured.

Of course, Thong Luang will not leave this most elite army in Siam in vain and use it, and they will become the Praetorian Guards of Thonburi again, but this name is back, but how can it actually be returned?

Don't think they're minions and don't understand anything.

King Zheng Xin has been taken back from the temple by Tong Luan, but the power is still in the hands of Tong Luan, and King Zheng Xin is still imprisoned.

Don't think they're all fools. Now the ghost knows that Tongluan has a different heart, otherwise he will return the military power to King Zheng Xin, and the turmoil in Siam will be eliminated in an instant. But Tongluan not only did not do this, but also sent troops to let his younger brother and nephew attack Wen Mo and Chen Lian.

These two people are the generals of King Zheng Xin's cronies, Wen Mo and Tong Luan are political enemies, when King Zheng Xin just raised troops to rebel against the Burmese, Wen Mo was Zheng Xin's general, and complained to King Zheng Xin that Tong Luan had different intentions, but King Zheng Xin did not believe it.

But Tongluan never dared to kill King Zheng Xin, why is this?

It's clear to all, too.

King Zheng Xin has China behind him, and King Zheng Xin's grandson and several sons are studying in China, even if Tongluan catches King Zheng Xin, even if Prince Zhaoshui holds it in his hand, he still can't rest assured.

The Praetorian Guard, whose morale had long been low, was bombarded by the artillery of the Nanyang Naval Division, and they had no intention of resisting. None of them had the heart to resist Tong Luan, so how could they have the heart to resist their teacher? Therefore, the Marine Corps easily captured the entire port of Bangkok.

The 2,000 Janissaries were captured 12,300 people, and the most surprising thing is that these prisoners were not only captured by the Marine Division's Marine Battalion, but also many were captured by the Chinese Ding Zhuang in Bangkok.

One can imagine how low the morale of these people is.

After a sergeant officer knocked down a Thonburi Praetorian Guard soldier holding a musket and trying to fight back, he actually escaped a betel nut from the paper bullet box, threw it into his mouth and chewed it comfortably, "Just now, we didn't need shelling at all, just a charge, we can catch them all!" ”

The battle for the whole of Bangkok lasted less than half an hour, and more than 1,000 Thonburi Praetorian Guard soldiers were taken prisoner.

"Commander, just now some soldiers discovered that many Thonburi Praetorian Guards jumped over the river and ran away. Do we need to send troops in pursuit? ”

The success of the battle on land excited everyone on board.

Just when Chen Ming and Chen Cong were stunned by the sudden coup d'état in Siam, Ye Tingyang led his destroyer detachment to regain the port of Bangkok.
