And Nanfeng, as a decision-maker, is still struggling with another thing in the Malay Peninsula. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

That's Siam!

Since the British withdrew from Pahang, Siam sent a large army to take over the place. Due to the withering of the people's livelihood in Pahang, there was not one out of ten people, so there was no fierce opposition.

Although this place is not as important as imagined. But Siam's approach really humiliated the Ming Dynasty.

Because before that, Da Ming had warned Siam many times through official channels. Let it stay on its own turf and don't meddle in Pahang. But Siam is respectful on the surface, and it should be. But in essence, it fell on deaf ears. The troops who should have sent troops, and the occupation and territory that should have been occupied, did not take the warning of the Ming Dynasty seriously at all.

Such an approach is really detrimental to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is necessary to come up with severe measures to punish Siam. Otherwise, the surrounding countries will also be snub to Daming.

Although Nanfeng knew that Siam's confidence in doing so was due to the support of the Manchus and Britain behind him. But the Ming he represents is not afraid!

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Malay Peninsula are still separated by 108,000 miles. Even if you send troops, you have to cross the long primeval jungle. As soon as there is a stir there, the Intelligence Division will be able to get the information in time. Da Ming can also make the best response.

Moreover, the Manchu iron cavalry was accustomed to living in temperate regions, so it was not suitable for fighting in hot and humid regions such as Southeast Asia. At that time, not only will they not be able to adapt to the water and soil, but they may also be infected with epidemics and diseases, and there will be large-scale non-combat attrition. Perhaps before it reaches the Malay Peninsula, it will be crushed.

Or Siam is too stupid and naïve, holding on to the old yellow calendar! The Manchu Qing Dynasty, who thinks that his tribute master, is still the 'heaven, the heaven, the heaven, and the country' in the proud world. thought that the rising Ming Dynasty was no match for the Manchu Qing in any case. As a result, the Manchu envoys were slightly frightened, and they obediently turned their backs on the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, when the day of the battle came, the Ming Dynasty would make Siam recognize the reality and suffer the bitter consequences.

As for the British, relying on those Indian soldiers alone is obviously not to be feared. So Da Ming, there is nothing to worry about. Even if local reinforcements come, Daming can deal with it calmly. After all, the Andaman Islands and the Strait of Malacca have corresponding military arrangements.

As long as the reinforcements come, Daming will let them come and go. This is like inviting you into the urn, not afraid of reinforcements coming, afraid that reinforcements will not come. Otherwise, the well-laid trap will be in vain.

But this is all later, what Nanfeng has to do at the moment is to come up with a suitable way to punish Siam.

From the point of view of the use of force, this is naturally the most effective and the most rapid. But the Ming did not want to push Siam completely into England.

After all, Siam is the grass on the wall, which side of the wind is strong and which side falls. Although the relationship with the UK is ambiguous at present, there is still a strong sense of defensiveness. This can be seen from the deployment of heavy troops in Siam on the border between Pahang and the Malay colonies.

Therefore, on the whole, Siam's political stance is relatively neutral.

Since it can weaken the opponent, it is natural that it will not do the opposite. Nanfeng did not want to use force to push Siam into the arms of the British.

But just relying on lip service doesn't come in handy. This annoyed Nanfeng.

It was at this time that Liao Qing suddenly came to look for him. Nanfeng immediately looked relieved and applauded Liao Qing's arrival.

Because Liao Qing has always had a lot of ideas, Nan Feng also likes to listen to his opinions. Without waiting for Liao Qing to speak, he took the first step to ask about Siam's strategy.

After thinking about it, Liao Qing ordered someone to find the director of the Intelligence Collection Department. Then he slowly spoke: "I think we can use the same method we used to deal with Britain before, and deal with Siam." ”。

Seeing that Nanfeng was slightly puzzled, Liao Qing then explained: "The four sultanates of Kelantan, Kedah, Perak, and Terengganu can be used a little as a breakthrough for the Ming to punish Siam. ”。 These four sultanates fell into the hands of Siam one after another when the Ming Dynasty settled in the Malay Peninsula. Although the local sultan was still alive, the military and political power was in the hands of Siam's appointed generals.

For a long time, the kings of these four countries have sent people to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. It is hoped that the People's Army will help drive out the Siamese army and restore their rule. And said that he was willing to serve Daming as a tribute.

But at that time, due to friendship with Siam, Da Ming did not agree to their request. Now, it's a perfect fit.

It's just that there is an unavoidable fact here. That is the strength of the four sultanates, too weak. The royal family is too embroidered pillows to be reliable. Otherwise, how could Siam easily control the military and political power of the four sultanates, and how could it maintain its rule?

Nan Feng had also thought about using them before, but considering the helpless reality, he still shook his head and gave up. It's also that they are too useless, which makes Nanfeng feel that they have no use value. He shook his head and voiced his concerns.

After listening to this, Liao Qing immediately added: "I have also read the information over there." So I thought to myself, whether to send troops directly and blend in with the four sultanates. Just like the way Taizu of this dynasty dealt with the little devils of Japan and Ben, he specialized in guerrillas.

Although it can't turn over big waves, it can make Siam unguardable and annoying. Then unite with the local anti-Siamese forces to make the four countries of Kelantan, Kedah, Perak and Terengganu chaotic. Siam's rule in the region was weakened.

And these four countries are in the rear of Pahang. Once the chaos broke out, Pahang, which had just been annexed, would become unstable. ”。

Hearing this, Nan Feng immediately pondered.

If he used the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, he could be 100% convinced that the four kingdoms of Sudan would be chaotic and Siam would be unstable. And in doing so, it also disguised the identity of the Ming Dynasty and prevented Siam and Britain from getting closer.

Even if it is exposed, it can lead to disaster. Operate casually, and naturally push it to the UK. This trick worked in Myanmar at the beginning. Now it is used, and it is also familiar with the road.

Then Da Ming not only achieved the purpose of punishment, but also made the relationship between Ying and Siam become estranged. All it comes down to killing two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Nanfeng's eyes also lit up instantly.

At this moment, the director of the intelligence collection department, also holding a bunch of intelligence information from the four countries of Sudan, strode in. It contains a list of the various members of the Sultan's royal family who were hostile to Siam, the reigning ministers, and the forces they cultivated. There are also some smaller rebel and rebel groups that are also on the list.

There is also Siam's military presence in the four sultanates, as well as related weaknesses. Basically, no matter how big or small, everything is exposed in front of Daming.

With this fact as a basis, it can also be more complete when formulating punishment measures.

After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. The Ming wanted to punish Siam, of course, not on their own. The royal families of the sultans of these four countries can all join. Although the strength is weak, there are many places that can provide convenience.

Daming is also relatively easy to operate.

Anyway, as long as there are people who can bring trouble to Siam, the Ming will try their best to unite.

And the former king of Pahang, it's time for him to show his presence. lest the people of Pahang think that their king died on the battlefield.

Solving this matter on his mind, Nan Feng's heart was also a lot easier. Liao Qing looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, before he came, he had considered a solution for the four countries of Sudan and Pahang. It's just that it's not his job in the end, so he doesn't have much to say. (To be continued.) )
