Liao Qing, as the direct head of the Intelligence Department, also felt strange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Does he know that on the side of the Qing Kingdom, there is not only the White Lotus Sect that acts as the eyes and ears of the Ming Dynasty among the people. In the court, there are many eunuchs, palace maids, and even concubines, all of whom are from the Ming Dynasty.

Under this layer of strict surveillance, it is impossible not to leak a little news in advance.

But at the moment, Da Ming really didn't find anything.

Thinking of this, the faces of the people present became even more ugly.

But right now, there's not that much time for them to think about it.

He put the matter aside for the time being and discussed the disposition of Siam.

Because no matter what you say, Siam's approach has refuted the face of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't do anything, it will seem that Da Ming is too easy to bully. Other small countries that submit to the Ming Dynasty will naturally be less respectful than before.

Therefore, some necessary punishments should be implemented.

But there's a limit to that! Let Siam know the pain, but not scare Siam too hard. lest it be self-defeating and too late to regret it.

In this way, Nanfeng and they talked intensively for more than four hours before making a preliminary decision. That is, the Siamese curator of Johor Bahru was immediately summoned to express the displeasure of the Ming Dynasty. He also ordered the Ming ambassador to Siam to meet the King of Siam immediately and express the anger of the Ming Dynasty in person.

The corresponding deterrence is also implemented simultaneously!

A part of the warships that were conducting exercises in the South China Sea were dispatched to Bangkok Bay to cruise and deter. However, you can't enter the inland river, so as not to steal chickens and rice.

Of course, the rhetoric on the surface is to crack down on pirates. This reason is that no one will believe it. Because of this land in the South Seas, the biggest pirates are the Ming, Ying, and Western Kingdoms. Other small pirate groups, a few years ago, disappeared into the dust of history.

So when he learned that the Ming Dynasty was cruising in Bangkok Bay, King Rama I of Siam was furious.

But Siam is indeed at fault in this matter. The strength of the Ming Navy is there again. There was nothing he could do but get angry.

So he sent a messenger with a lot of money to Daming to apologize. At the same time, another messenger was sent to secretly rush to the city of Malacca to ask the British for help.

But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop Da Ming's punishment.

After the initial punishment such as official representations and warship cruises, there is also support for Myanmar.

For example, doubling the number of firearms sold to Myanmar. As for Siam, arms exports were halved. and deliberately left the firearms for which money had been paid in advance for the purpose of not being issued.

This made the King of Siam instinctively feel a sense of crisis!

After all, Siam and Myanmar have countless wars, big and small. As a result, the two sides formed an old feud very early. And last time, Siam bit off such a big piece of fat from Myanmar.

With this old hatred and new hatred, the two countries should not think of reconciliation.

So Siam, the last thing you want to see Myanmar become strong.

Previously, due to the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the Myanmar officials could only suffer a loss. There is nothing to say about Siam, which has ceded the country. But now, the Ming deliberately loosened the bonds on Myanmar and deliberately revealed his dissatisfaction with Siam.

The king of Burma, Meng Yun, immediately knew that the opportunity had come. He ordered the only royal newspaper in China, the "Daming Daily", to publish anti-Siam and hateful remarks. and deliberately dispatched troops to make a gesture of Chen soldiers on the Siam-Burmese border. There were even Burmese soldiers who crossed the new border line of the Salween River.

To this end, Siam has also made serious representations to Myanmar. But the Burmese official explained that the soldier had entered the Siamese side because he had lost his way. Other than that, there is no further explanation.

As a result, the two countries inevitably fought again.

This flattering gesture is very much in line with Daming's wishes. The support of the Ming Dynasty to Myanmar has been much greater. Anyway, the current Myanmar is not the Myanmar of the past. A short period of support will not be out of the control of the Ming Dynasty. And the country that Myanmar hates the most is Siam. The Ming Dynasty supported it, so that Siam would have an opponent.

Lest the balance be lost, Siam can't help but sigh. Against the will of the Ming Dynasty, he privately reconciled with the British.

This situation made Rama I worried.

Fortunately, by this time, the messenger had arrived in the city of Malacca with his will.

I saw the Governor's Palace, the Siamese envoy Ba Song. Charemong, who is spitting and spitting, is not Ming. He was originally Siam's ambassador to Daming, but at the opening dinner last year, he was deliberately excluded by Daming. The treacherous and cunning Magorny deliberately approached.

At that time, through him, Magorny revealed to Rama I that he would use the whole of Pahang as a bargaining chip in exchange for Siam's promise to be neutral in the Ming and British wars.

Because of this news, the King of Siam was very happy, so he transferred him back to China and served as Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this Siamese reconciliation, he contributed a lot. After the Ming warships cruised to Siam, he was sent by Rama I to ask for help from the British.

It's just that the sea was blocked by the Ming Dynasty, forcing him to rush here from the land, rain and rain. So that after the righteous indignation was over, the fatigue on his face was revealed at a glance.

Magorny, on the other hand, maintained his usual gentle posture and spoke in a reassuring voice. Guarantee the British Empire, and definitely not sit idly by.

In my heart, because of the arrival of Ba Song, I couldn't help but feel proud of the spring breeze!

Because he has fought with Daming so many times, he has lost more than he won. So this time, Daming was in his hands, and he planted such a big heel, and his heart was naturally very comfortable. Thinking of the cracked Daming intelligence station again, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Speaking of which, it's a coincidence.

That day, the Philippine governor came over and discussed with him about the Ming military exercise. Coincidentally, it broke through the stationmaster of the Intelligence Division. It was also that man who was so rampant that he kept pretending to be an ordinary guard, standing guard at the governor's palace every day.

Although he changed his appearance, his eyes were recognized by the Governor of the Philippines. It seems that this stationmaster has made the good manly Philippine governor emotional!

Otherwise, he would not have been so easy to catch this Daming intelligence station director with an unusual identity.

So he took advantage of this opportunity to hide from the world and let Daming know nothing about Malacca.

To get the most out of it.

He also secretly sent this spy to the Qing Kingdom by land. And falsified some evidence to make His Majesty of the Qing Kingdom furious.

Actually, he didn't do anything. It is to publish some current affairs reviews and related novels that denigrate and defame the Qing Dynasty published by the Ming Dynasty. Pick the important words and phrases, and pick them. Words like what counterattacked the Qing Dynasty, slaughtered all over the dog, etc., were compiled into a book and sent to the Qing State.

Then a military plan for the counterattack on the Qing State was compiled. said that these were all searched from the Ming spy. In order to reflect the authenticity, some Nanyang vassal countries that were originally pro-Qing also went to the Qing Dynasty to lobby in person. After all, these small countries are also afraid of the arrival of the Ming Dynasty. He only needs to send someone to contact him, and he will be in touch immediately.

At this time, the determination of the Qing State was finally shaken. (To be continued.) )
