Chapter 398: The Beginning of Chaos

From the end of the Qing Dynasty to World War II, the only country in Asia that maintained sovereignty, although it also signed a lot of treaties, Siam is the only country that has left and right.

No matter how tactful the political tactics are, some things are unavoidable, as is the case today.

It was already sunset in Burma, and the Siamese royal family was wise to avoid Burma and England since the beginning of the Anglo-Burmese War, avoiding its own country from stepping into the quagmire.

In the past few decades, Siam's national policy has been very proper, competing with Annam for Khmer and other places, constantly expanding the territory, and for England, they are also quite original, unlike other Asian countries, Siam chooses to be obedient.

Several large countries on the southeast peninsula, Myanmar was crippled by England, Annam is now also stretched, Nanzhang and other countries are just the objects of bullying, and the most powerful country in the southeast peninsula is none other than Siam.

But now? King Rama III was assassinated, was blown into two by a cannon, the assassination of the Ming monarch was angry with the whole country, and the focus of the contradiction pointed directly at Burma, which makes sense, Myanmar and Thailand are feuds, especially in the Anglo-Burmese War, Siam played a not very good role, and the radical Burmese young people assassinated the king of Siam with anger, and it became a logical thing.

The artillery that assassinated the King of Siam fired a total of three cannons in a short period of time, one shot hit the King of Siam, blowing him into two, and the other cannon was even more vicious, a flowering shell exploded in the midst of the Siamese ministers, and the right-hand man of the King of Siam almost died.

The third cannon is a cannon that the gods and Buddhas are punishing the Burmese and blowing up the chamber. Let nine Burmese noble heirs. The corpse was on the spot. Although the remnants of the Siamese ministers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts when they saw these corpses, they looked at the King of Siam, who had been cut in two, and the royal ministers who had died, and the surging anger began to burn from the royal capital of Siam to the heart of the new King Rama IV.

"Go to war! War!! Kill the Burmese King! ”

This voice is the clarion call for war. Siam had already begun to reorganize its armament, and the ignorant Burmese king was still guarding against the retaliation of the British army.

"Siam is doing well, the evidence is overwhelming, let's see how Myanmar and England deal with it this time!

I'm afraid that the current king of Burma will commit suicide, and he won't be able to calm the anger of Siam!

Commander, what do you think about the next war? ”

After talking about Siam, Xu Ziwei, the military advisor of the ugly Han Dynasty, silently waited for his proprietor to ask questions.

"According to the way before the third master, watch the play!

We've been here for a few months. Although the attack on Siamese muskets and artillery began, the demand was not very high. In the past ten days, the people of Siam have posted it again, what do you say about the third master? ”

"Huh...... What a chance! A good chance to get rich, tenfold! Shameless stuff for dog days, he doesn't want to sell it to him on the pole, ten times today, eleven times tomorrow, add it a day, until this bastard is squeezed dry!

Although it is called a vassal, but the countries of the Southeast Peninsula are not close to the Qing Dynasty, and the tribute is just to return the tribute.

These countries are the buffer zone of the future war, and it is easy to occupy these countries, but to guard such a long coastline, it will be extremely troublesome, it is better to turn the southeast peninsula into a kennel, take care of the home, the terrain and population here, is the best choice.

Xu Ziwei's vision is generally good, but this is just the beginning, people with a little political vision know how to wait and see, and then after France makes a move, it is the beginning of the big show.

"Third master, Siam's national strength is limited, and it still has to support the war with Burma, can we exchange weapons for mines?"

This is a good idea, Yang Meng didn't realize it, and just thought about making money.

"Hmmm! Good idea! Aren't the Siamese people united? Let the dog day open a good road for us, a batch of weapons from a mine, and good wood from the mountains and forests will also be transported back to Lao Tzu! ”

Britain wants to guard against Burma, but also to guard against itself, presumably military support, Siam has only one choice in Yunnan, and it is right to take the opportunity to grab it.

"Third master, the king of Burma has cooperated with us before, and in the matter of Siam, I have been letting the mountain monkeys of Yangba block the news on the Burmese-Thai border, do you think this matter?"

"Excellent! You're doing a great job, you're good at what you've been doing lately! ”

"It's all based on the teachings of the third master!"

"Let the mountain monkeys continue to block the news, let Ma Qinghu's Blue Flag Army withdraw from Mengla, and bring this news to the King of Burma!

Zhiqing, inform the shadows, buy the ministers of Burma, and make sure that they support the war against Siam!

At the same time, let them pay attention to the situation in Annan, the French side is almost about to move, and we must also take the opportunity to seize the advantageous terrain. ”

Practice is the test standard, Xu Ziwei's early plan was very good, and Yang Meng couldn't find any fault. Because of the anger of the whole country, the people of Siam ignored diplomatic means, and Xu Ziwei took the opportunity to block the news of the assassination of the king of Siam, which was definitely a clever move.

The madman-like Siamese revenge army will inevitably take bloody revenge at the beginning of the war, and the defenseless Myanmar will suffer a great disaster.

Because of the British defense, Burma has deployed most of its troops and horses on the eastern front, and the rear of Burma is now very empty, I believe that the Siamese are not fools, and they will definitely seize this loophole in Burma, and presumably the Siamese revenge army in the early stage will be overwhelming.

On Annan's side, it is the same as if France moves, and Annan is about to be in chaos, taking the opportunity to push the national border to a favorable position, which is also one of Yang Meng's plans.

"There is another point, we must not let the Siamese army conquer the royal capital of Burma, once Burma is destroyed, our drama will not be able to sing."

Yang Meng lowered his head and thought for a while, and also added that if Burma, which was empty of troops, was killed by Siam, then he would have a lot of fun. In that case, I'm afraid the English will laugh to death.

"Preparations have been made, and one of our weapons caravans is hidden near the royal capital of Burma. Nearly 10,000 guns can be used in Wuzhuang. When the time comes, the king of Burma will be scraped into a poor ghost! ”

He took a closer look at the ugly ghost military advisor in front of him. Yang Meng couldn't help but admire, this person said that he was both civil and military, it seems that he is not a lie!

This abacus is croaking! When the time comes, whether to be a poor ghost or a slave to the country, the king of Burma will definitely choose the former.

"Qiao Gunai's side, how did you plan for him?"

After listening to Xu Ziwei's strategy, Yang Meng didn't plan to talk more, his military advisor was very competent. Just use him.

"Qiao Gu is his own person, the battle of Burma and Thailand will inevitably have countless casualties, I asked him to stand still, train people, and wait for the British to do something to Burma, the Burmese king, whose strength has been greatly damaged, will pay more attention to Qiao Gu Nai's family.

I also laid the foreshadowing on Annam's side, and our caravan also brought some guns to the royal family of Annam, presumably after France started. Annan will also ask the court for help, once the court does not allow it. We are another lifesaver.

Third master, your plan is to let France enter Annam, presumably there is a backhand to break the relationship between the two countries, I do this step to pave the way, but also for the third master's future plan! ”

The matter between Siam and Burma was explained to Xu Ziwei by Yang Meng, but Annan's foreshadowing was Xu Ziwei's decision made without authorization.

"Hmph...... Make decisions without permission, your kid is not small! If you do a good job this time, I will spare you, if you dare to make some small moves behind your back next time, beware of your children and grandchildren! ”

After understanding the situation in the Southeast Peninsula, Yang Meng stayed in Mengla, he didn't have nothing to do, the war was about to start, and the high-intensity training should also begin.

Although he insists on boxing every day, he is not an extreme training after all, and three punches and kicks in the morning, noon and evening every day can only ensure that Yang Meng's physical flexibility is not reduced, and the body's endurance and absolute strength still need extreme training.

Long-distance running, bench press, and actual combat have become the main tone of Yang Meng's life, and the high-intensity training of at least three hours a day has allowed Wei Fuzi and Solang Baima to be free for a while.

"Third master, good news, there has been a large-scale rebellion in Annan, and the army of the Annan court has been defeated and retreated, and tens of thousands of people have died so far!"

Under the influence of Yang Meng, Xu Ziwei also participated in military training, his steps were much lighter than before, Xu Ziwei in a military uniform did not look so ugly, it seems that temperament can also cover up the ugliness!

"From Annan to our side, the time is only five or six days at most, how can tens of thousands of people die at once?

Coupled with preparation and secrecy, are the rebels on Annan's side so powerful? This is not good news for our layout!

Could it be that France has increased its troops? They want to further weaken the power of the Annam royal family?

Zhiqing, let the people of the shadows check the harbors around Annan and see if they can find out the number of French troops! ”

While asking rhetorically and asking himself, Yang Meng also touched France's intentions, the French are vicious!

"Ambush! Eight thousand rebels ambushed fifteen thousand Annam troops and directly routed!

The people of Annam have already seen muskets, and it is not difficult to learn, and the quality of the guns aided by France is good, so there is this big victory, but I am afraid that the French side is also a little caught off guard! The situation in Annan is complicated! ”

The result of this battle must have been beyond the expectations of the French, although Annam had a large number of troops, but the loss of 11,000 yuan would be lost in two or three months.

"These French fools, they underestimate the power of the people's tide too much, armed with 8,000 people at a time, do they really have such self-confidence?

Let Ma Qinghu's Blue Banner Army quietly camp on the Yunnan-Vietnam border, France can arm 8,000 people, maybe their army will not be less than this number, and we must guard against these bastards taking the opportunity to attack Yunnan! ”

It's ruthless, France's appetite is not small, using Annan as a springboard to attack the Qing Dynasty This is the strategy of the French, is this a gang of calves crazy and want to come together?

"Let Ma Qinghu be on guard at all times, arrange artillery arrays at dangerous positions, set up sentry posts thirty miles in advance, as long as the French army does not listen to the advice, directly ambush them, and tell Ma Qinghu that either he will not make a move, or he will be killed!

Is the new army coming from Dali? If it arrives, 10,000 will be distributed as Ma Qinghu's backup!

The rest are trained outside Mengla City, and let the mountain monkeys send people to join forces with the new army to block the entire border, as long as it is not our own people, they will all be detained! ”

France's actions exceeded Yang Meng's estimates, what kind of idea they were fighting, Yang Meng couldn't figure it out, causing a riot in Annan, there was no need to arm so many people, even if they wanted to consume Annan's strong men, they didn't need to do it in such a hurry!

Thinking about it, Yang Meng felt that France's goal seemed to be himself, could it be that the French were linked to England? The two want to work together to get the formula of Yunyan?

The situation in the southeast peninsula is a little chaotic, thinking of Britain and France joining forces, Yang Meng is also cold down his spine, France is still useful, Yang Meng does not want to break with France prematurely, the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, must rely on the strength of France, Yunnan's second outlet to the sea, Yang Meng must also get it.

"Zhiqing, how is the plan on the Wei camel side of Tibet? In nearly half a year, it is time for him to take down the Gurkhas, tell Wei Huozi that after contacting the Gurkha mercenaries in India, don't act blindly, this dark chess, Lao Tzu is now very useful! ”

The Anglo-French alliance, compared to France's alliance with himself, the French will get more benefits, since he wants to play yin, then Yang Meng is not going to be polite, originally he didn't plan to be polite to England. (To be continued......)
