At the same time, there was a new change in the civil strife in Johor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThat is, Siam, who has always supported the eldest prince, suddenly gave up his support for the eldest prince. The second prince supported by Britain took advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack, which greatly weakened the power of the eldest prince. The territory occupied has also shrunk significantly.

But there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason!

In doing so, Siam was apparently encouraged by some kind of encouragement.

Nanfeng, who was worried about the affairs of the Wang family, heard the news, and the lines on his brows deepened a little.

The deputy director of the Intelligence Gathering Division of the Intelligence Division, who reported to him, couldn't help but think about it. He remembered how he was here, and he knew how his ex was in prison. Although it is said that the director lost his position because of the relationship between the Wang family. But the people in the Chief's Mansion are rumoring that the Chief said the wrong thing, which caused the disgust of the Chief, so he went to the prison to think about it!

Therefore, when he speaks, he is very cautious. For fear of being careless, I took the old path of the director.

It's a pity that his news is really not good news. Because the Ming Dynasty has a wait-and-see attitude towards the civil strife in Johor. The eldest prince supported by Siam and the second prince supported by Britain fought with each other, which was also something that the Ming Dynasty liked to see.

After all, Siam went to fight, preventing the British from indirectly controlling Johor and saving the Ming Dynasty.

But now, Siam suddenly does not support it. The second prince supported by the British also forced the eldest prince to the land of Danmaru at the junction of Ming and Rou. If it weren't for the second prince's fear of arousing the disgust of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that he would have already deployed a large number of soldiers on the border of Mingrou and killed the power of the eldest prince.

Such a result is really contrary to what Da Ming expected.

Seeing Nanfeng, who had been frowning for a while, he suddenly said coldly: "What benefit did Siam gain to give up the eldest prince who submitted to it?" ”。

At the beginning of the civil strife in Johor, the eldest prince did not come to Daming for help. It's just that the intelligence department of the Ming Dynasty has learned in advance that the eldest prince promised Siam that if he inherited the throne, he would be willing to become a subject state of Siam. And the former king of Pahang, handed over to Siam.

The former King of Pahang was an old man approaching sixty years old. But his body is very tough. After the fall of the country and the territory became a British colony. He took most of the royal family with him and fled to Johor, where he was related by marriage.

And begged for help everywhere, hoping to get the support of neighboring countries. Unfortunately, the Malay Peninsula is a trade between regional powers. Small pill countries like them have always had to be slaughtered by others.

Therefore, the former king of Pahang and the royal family have been stranded in Johor. Fortunately, the two countries were originally in-laws, and Johor was also guarding against the British, so the Pahang royal family stayed in Johor and had no worries about food and clothing.

Although the British also supported the new king of Pahang. It's a pity that it's just a side branch of the royal family, and the blood relationship is very weak. Speaking of which, there are some misnomers.

And although the surrounding countries did not help the former king of Pahang, they still recognized his status in the kingdom of Pahang. So that the original king of Pahang, in the country, still has a great influence. For example, those civil forces that rebelled against Britain basically served the king in the name of allegiance to the king.

It is precisely this that makes the former king of Pahang still have a decisive use value.

Previously, the second prince of Johor succeeded to the throne and secretly arrested the Pahang royal family. It's just that this former king of Pahang is an old oil stick. As soon as he saw the wind and grass, he was as clever as a rabbit and fled.

In the end, the second prince only captured most of the royal family, leaving out the most important king.

When the eldest prince returned to Johor, the former king of Pahang rushed to join him as soon as possible. But I didn't want to, just out of the wolf circle, and into the mouth of the tiger, I was used as a bargaining chip by the eldest prince and took him with him every step of the way.

If Siam gets the original king of Pahang, there will be an excuse to settle in Pahang. Anyway, the British garrison in the Malay Peninsula is not much, and the military strength is not strong. Siam had the firearms of the Ming Dynasty and was not afraid of conflict with the British.

Coupled with the protection of the Triple Pact, Siam was not so cautious.

In fact, when the Ming Dynasty first wooed Siam, it used the Malay Peninsula as a condition. Now Siam wants to annex Pahang, which is also expected.

Da Ming doesn't stop it! After all, Siam and Britain fought each other, and it was the strength of both sides that was damaged. Although they did not fight each other directly, they fought a proxy war between the two princes. But the resources consumed are also astronomical.

Such a situation is very appetizing to Daming. He rejected the eldest prince's request for help and pushed him into the arms of Siam as best he could. Anyway, Johor is on the edge of Johor Bahru Town, no matter who the subject country is, you have to consider the feelings of the Ming Dynasty.

Siam also knew that he only had the status of a subject state of Johor and could not intervene substantially. That's why the conditions of the King of Pahang were added to the end.

But now the former king of Pahang is still in the hands of the eldest prince. The deal was not completed. Then Siam, how could he give up halfway through and give up?

This made Nanfeng a little puzzled!

When the deputy director heard the questioning, he quickly read the words in his heart and responded: "At present, the British have abandoned the entire territory of Pahang and withdrawn all the troops deployed to Malacca, Putrajaya, Shah Alam and other coastal cities in Malacca. ”。

"What?!" , Nan Feng was shocked, never expecting that Britain would spit out the fat that he had eaten in his mouth. He stared at the map of Nanyang on the wall, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked, "So is the current Pahang already in Siam's pocket?" ”。

Seeing this, the deputy director nodded and responded, "Siam has entered Pahang three days ago. It is now quite possible that the whole territory of Pahang has been controlled. ”。

When he said this, his voice was also mixed with a little trepidation.

Because the British withdrew from Pahang on the front foot, Siam controlled the whole territory of Pahang on the back foot. Combined with the abandonment of support for the eldest prince, it can only be said that Britain and Siam have reached some kind of secret deal.

And the whole thing, from beginning to end, is completely behind the back of Da Ming. During this period, the Intelligence Division was an afterthought. It wasn't until after the incident that the head and tail were sorted out. The previous military leak was only after Wang Qinghua was caught, and the truth of the matter was revealed.

No matter how you discern it, the dereliction of duty of the Intelligence Division cannot be shirked.

It is said that the sky has fallen, and there are tall ones. While the directors are unlucky, they, the division chiefs, can't run away.

It is only natural for the Deputy Commissioner to be worried.

Just when he was panicking in his heart, Nanfeng's slightly angry voice sounded. Just listened: "It seems that your intelligence department needs to be put in order!" Otherwise, they all become microphones and forget their role. ”。 (To be continued.) )
