"Haha! That's impossible! Siam, henceforth will be stored as part of the central and southern provinces of the empire, and not as a state! As for the Bangkok royal family, they will also have to pay for what their ancestors did! Admiral Su Hongguang flatly refused.

"General, don't you have to ask for instructions from home? I'm afraid it's not something you can decide about such a big event! Chen Jiashun said with a cold face. Su Hongguang actually directly rejected the request made by the Siamese side, which surprised Chen Jiashun.

"No need, His Majesty the Emperor has already handed over the disposition of Siam to me." Admiral Su Hongguang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"General, now although China has the advantage on the battlefield. But we in Siam are not without the power to fight back. Even in the city of Bangkok, there are still 300,000 elite troops stationed in it. And your country's military strength around Bangkok is less than 40,000. Once the war restarts, it remains to be seen who will win and who will lose! Chen Jiashun threatened.

"Humph! What about 300,000 people? In my eyes, the so-called Siamese elite is just a group of local chickens and dogs! In less than three days, my army will be able to take Bangkok, capture Chulalongkorn alive, and destroy Siam! Admiral Su Hongguang's eyes were full of murder.

Chen Jiashun only felt a chill all over his body, and he saw the piercing murderous intent in the eyes of General Su Hongguang. It is clear that China has decided to destroy Siam once and for all, unless Chulalongkorn surrenders unconditionally. Otherwise, the Chinese will not give up.

Chen Jiashun took a deep breath, and then said, "Then, general, let's see you on the battlefield!" He knew that it was useless to say more. On the Chinese side. The Siamese Tiyì was explicitly rejected. As soon as qiē, it can only be solved by means of warfare. Although, the Siamese side has no confidence in this regard at all. But when it comes to this, they can only bite the bullet.

Subsequently, Chen Jiashun said goodbye and left. Looking at the back of him leaving, Admiral Su Hongguang couldn't help but spit out.

"This old boy, if I didn't look at his appearance, I would have thought he was a native of Siam. These guys. I've forgotten about their ancestors, and when we get to Bangkok, we'll have to clean up these guys! Admiral Su Hongguang said with some anger. What Wang Yuze hates most is traitors, which also makes the important ministers of the military also contaminated with the same temper.

"There are too many Chinese. It's inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad. However, fortunately, the empire is extremely powerful now, otherwise, these traitors would not have ruined the empire into anything! Lieutenant General Wang Qiuyan also sighed. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, there were many anti-Japanese heroes, but there seemed to be more traitors who betrayed their ancestors.

"Get the ministries ready. Attack tomorrow. The 151st Regiment was the main attacker, assisted by the 2nd and 23rd Regiments of the 23rd Marine Division. Also, how much fire support will the Navy be able to provide us? Admiral Su Hongguang asked.

"The Chao Phraya River is not wide, even though it is flood season. But the light cruisers could not reach Bangkok. Five destroyers of the Navy will arrive this evening. When the time comes, they will do their best to increase our fire support! Lieutenant General Wang Qiuyan said.

"Five destroyers, a little less firepower. But it's better than nothing. The naval guns of the Navy are more powerful than the cannons used by the Army. Always be bigger. However, if only the battleship could drive in. That's good! Admiral Su Hongguang sighed. The devastating power of the battleship's main guns made him particularly fond of it. If the main guns of the battleship come to Bangkok with a few shots, those Siamese troops will not be frightened!

"If Bangkok is a city by the sea, that's perfectly fine. It's just that now I hope to make up for it! Wang Qiuyan sighed in the middle.

After returning to Bangkok, Siamese Prime Minister Chen Jiashun relayed his conversation with the Chinese generals to the Siamese king Chulalongkorn. When he heard that the Chinese generals refused to accept Siam's conditions and insisted on destroying Siam, Chulalongkorn's face suddenly turned pale.

"Damn, these Chinese don't leave us a way to live. Then, we will have to fight with them to the death! Chulalongkorn's face was full of hideous expressions.

"Your Majesty, now, there is only one desperate fight. If the army can inflict heavy damage on the squadron and break their heads in Bangkok, then we may have a chance. Chen Jiashun said.

"I will personally give orders to the front-line subordinates, they must fight to the death!" Chulalongkorn said viciously.

After that, Chulalongkorn immediately summoned the generals of the military and asked them to prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese. It is necessary to make the squadron pay a huge price in Bangkok. The generals of the Siamese army all said that they would fight the squadron to the end. However, in fact, the successive defeats at the front line shocked them a lot. China's strength has given rise to a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

After receiving assurances from the military, Chulalongkorn was very satisfied. However, he still prepared a back hand. That night, Chulalongkorn's henchmen, who had only eight years old, quietly left the Grand Palace and went to a poor place in Bangkok to hide. What he had to do was to lead the crown prince out of Bangkok and into the mountains of the northwest after Bangkok was breached, gather those who were finally royal and continue the fight. And, raise the crown prince to adulthood, and avenge Chulalongkorn in the future.

The next day, September 14, the squadron launched an offensive against Bangkok. For this offensive, the squadron concentrated more than 200 105-mm heavy guns, including 24 155-mm heavy howitzers. Five destroyers of the Navy, also on the Chao Phraya River, five kilometers from Bangkok, were ready for shelling.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the shelling began. For a time, on the artillery position of the squadron, the sound of artillery rumbled and the smoke of gunpowder was filled. One after another, under the action of huge kinetic energy, the shells flew towards Bangkok.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Shells exploded in the city of Bangkok. Orange fireballs rose one by one. Houses in the city of Bangkok are blown up from time to time and then burned. The shelling of the squadron did not distinguish between residential areas or military targets. Because, the defense area of the Siamese army is densely spread throughout the entire city of Bangkok. They still built a lot of fortifications in residential areas. Under the bombardment of the squadron, a large number of Siamese people frantically fled to safety. But the whole of Bangkok is within the range of the squadron, where is there a safe place again? Shells continued to explode in the crowd, shrapnel shot everywhere, wantonly harvesting lives, and stumps and broken arms flew everywhere.

Siam's artillery, which soon launched a counterattack. Bangkok is the capital of Siam, and the Siamese military has deployed heavy troops here. In addition to the army of three hundred thousand, there were more than two hundred artillery pieces of various calibers. However, most of them were 75-mm mountain guns, and a very small number were 105-mm howitzers. As soon as the Siamese artillery opened fire, it was spotted by observation balloons in the sky. Subsequently, the Chinese artillery focused its main attack on the Siamese artillery. A large number of shells fell, and the artillery positions of the Siamese artillery were suppressed one by one, and then eliminated.

After the heavy shelling rang out, the whole of Bangkok was in chaos. The soldiers had all entered the position, suffering from the artillery fire, and the civilians were running around like headless flies.

The King of Siam, Chulalongkorn, was no longer in the Grand Palace at the moment, and when the squadron launched an attack on Bangkok, and the Siamese army was struggling to resist the squadron's attack, he was in the Grand Palace, facing the golden statue of the Buddha, praying, praying that the Buddha would bless Siam. The Grand Palace is one of the largest temples in Bangkok and has always been a temple dedicated to the Siamese royal family. The whole of Siam is a Buddhist country. Buddhism has a very high status here.

Chulalongkorn knelt in front of the golden statue of the Buddha, and his appearance was completely indistinguishable from that of ordinary devout believers. It's just that his closed eyes and his body trembling from hearing the piercing sound of cannons from time to time show his current nervousness.

"Boom! Rumble! "A cannonball, in the artillery battle in the palace, a Bodhi tree, was blown off on the spot, which made the monks in the temple panic.

"These damn Chinese, they don't even let go of the place where the Buddha Lord lives, and the Buddha Lord will definitely punish them!" Chulalongkorn said viciously.

"Your Majesty, now that the people of Siam are suffering, please be able to rescue these people from the sea of suffering!" An old monk came to Chulalongkorn, saluted him, and then said. He was the presiding officer of the Grand Palace, and he was considered a high-ranking monk in Siam.

"Deliver them out of the sea of suffering? However, the Chinese rejected my kindness! Chulalongkorn said.

"That's not enough!" The old monk said.

Chulalongkorn was silent, what the Chinese wanted was the unconditional surrender of Siam, the Siamese royal family, at the disposal of China. This made Chulalongkorn unable to agree.

"Your Majesty, one person goes to hell and saves a million people. His Majesty's approach is comparable to that of the Buddha! The old monk continued to persuade.

After a long time, Chulalongkorn nodded.

"Come on, order Passenvorana, stop resisting and surrender to the Chinese! Siam is not an opponent of the Chinese. If you continue to fight, you will only lose more people! Chulalongkorn said.

"Your Majesty is really a bodhisattva's heart!" The old monk exclaimed. Chulalongkorn's surrender undoubtedly saved Siam from a sword disaster, which is exactly what Buddhism preached, one person goes to hell to save all beings. As for what will happen to the Siamese royal family, this is not the most important concern for other Siamese people.
