860 [Restoration of King Nalai]

The red candle was stopped in the cave room last night, and I was waiting to worship my aunt in front of Xiaotang. Makeup asked her husband in a low voice, and the thrush was not deep or shallow.

On the morning of the second day of the wedding, it is etiquette for the groom to take the bride to visit his parents.

The royal family is no exception.

Zhao Han stayed with the queen and waited for the crown prince and the princess to come to greet him.

The four of them enjoyed breakfast together, and after a few casual words, Zhao Han got up to deal with government affairs, and asked Fei Rulan to continue chatting with her son and daughter-in-law.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Han ordered: "Call Nalai." ”

The Nalai prince of Siam, who studied for two years at the Nanjing Military Academy, now serves as a guard in the imperial city.

Narai received the order and hurried to meet him.

Zhao Han asked the female official to hand over a copy of the national credentials: "Your father is seriously ill and is under house arrest by your brother. Your uncle sent troops to rescue you, and killed your brother, and your father died in the rebellion. Now, your uncle, the regent of Siam, asks me to canonize him as King of Siam. ”

Prince Nalai didn't even read the state letter, so he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Rong Bing, that brother has a weak personality, and it is absolutely impossible for his father to usurp the throne. Please borrow 500 soldiers from Your Majesty, and allow the ministers to return to China to punish the real murderer! ”

"Okay, I will canonize you as the king of Siam, and you can take the paperwork and go to Quang Nam Province to borrow troops." Zhao Han actually agreed.

Is it because Prince Nalai has always been loyal?

There is a reason for this.

But more importantly, Zhao Han could see that this guy named Nalai had always hidden ambition in his eyes. At the same time, he is extremely rational and can see the general trend clearly.

After Prince Nalai left the palace, he finally couldn't hold back his joy and put a smug smile on his face.

As a prince, he came to Nanjing to be a guard, wasn't this day waiting for?

The old king of Siam, don't look at the wretched, when he was young, he was a powerful minister usurping the throne. The entire process of usurpation can be called a classic case of the minister's ascension -

first united all forces to prevent the vice king of Siam from succeeding to the throne, supported the young prince to ascend the throne, and took the opportunity to become the regent.

The vice king was frightened out of his home to become a monk, and this goods lured Yamada Nagamasa (Japanese general) and sent Yamada Nagamasa to instigate the vice king to seize the throne. Vice Wang Huanhuan returned to Beijing happily and was immediately arrested. He was arrested and not killed, but deliberately exiled, and let the vice king escape and then raise an army to divide the territory.

At this time, Yamada Nagamasa was sent to quell the rebellion.

When Yamada Nagamasa, who had a heavy army, left, he took the opportunity to control the court and the capital army, and also lured the young king to indulge in lust.

After quelling the rebellion, Yamada Nagamasa tried to return to Beijing, but halfway through, he was sent to Japan as an envoy.

This thing took the opportunity to murder the king and planned to usurp the throne and stand on his own.

When Yamada Nagamasa got the news, he quickly returned with his troops, and was so frightened that he changed the prince to be king. He also provoked a local rebellion, and ordered in the name of the king to let Yamada Nagamasa hurry to quell the rebellion.

Yamada Nagamasa had no choice but to lead his troops to leave, and this thing finally succeeded in usurping the throne, that is, King Baseton, the father of Prince Narai.

Yamada Nagamasa was very powerful, and he really put down the Liukun rebellion.

King Basethong then decided to appease and canonize Yamada Nagamasa as Liukun Taishou, which was actually similar to the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoy. He also secretly contacted the younger brother of the former Rokukun Taishou, and his younger brother avenged his brother and poisoned Yamada Nagamasa.

As soon as Yamada Nagamasa died, King Baseton immediately expelled the Japanese and took full control of the state of Siam.

With such a father, Prince Nalai is really a pure person?

Even his brother is not a good stubble. On the surface, Wenwen is weak, secretly befriending powerful people, and has been suppressing his younger brother Nalai.

The relationship between Nalai and his brother is similar to that of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

And the father of the two, for various reasons, sometimes reuses Nalai, sometimes suppresses Nalai.

Historically, King Baseton died of illness and was automatically succeeded by his eldest son. Prince Nalai instigated his uncle to rebel and kill his brother to usurp the throne. In the name of avenging his brother, he killed his uncle and became the king himself.

Moreover, Prince Nalai came to the throne and colluded with the Dutch. When he became king, he immediately turned against the Dutch. First allied with Britain to resist the Netherlands, then united with France to resist Britain, and then used Chinese power to suppress French power. Uncle, Dutch, British, French, Chinese...... It's all his tools. During this period, he was defeated by the Dutch and forced to sign unequal treaties and hand over the interests of Chinese businessmen to the Netherlands. However, when the Netherlands withdrew their troops, they refused to fulfill the treaty and supported the Chinese merchants to frantically squeeze out the Dutch.

In this time and space, Prince Nalai took the initiative to leave Siam for two purposes.

The first is to befriend China and lick the Chinese emperor.

The second is that after he went abroad, the power struggle in Siam changed from him fighting with his brother to fighting with his uncle.

"I'm going back to Siam, sir!" Prince Nalai said to the two counselors.

Yang Dongkui hung a long sword at his waist, shook a folding fan and said with a smile: "It's not my plan, it's just to follow the wisdom of the ancients." Heavy ears are killed, travel around the world, and eventually become a hegemon! ”

The Greek Constance Walcon said, "Young, you are too modest, and this is your credit." ”

The three of them boarded a naval ship all the way to Quang Nam Province and borrowed 500 Datong troops to go to Nonthaburi City.

Whether it is a naval warship or a 500 Datong army, all the military expenses are paid by Siam, and the prince of Nalai will give money after he succeeds to the throne.

China must have other demands, such as the construction of a port at the mouth of the Chao Paiya River for Han Chinese autonomy. And China not only helped Narai to be king, but also promised to help Siam regain the lost territory in the north (incidentally when fighting Burma).

At this time, Bangkok was still a small fishing village, south of Nonthaburi City. The port that China intends to set up is further south of Bangkok.

One prince, two advisors, and five hundred Datong troops arrived at the city of Nonthaburi in winter.

At this time, the rainy season in Siam is avoided, and the temperature is relatively pleasant.

Prince Narai also had the task of returning to China to regain power, and immediately gather the Siamese army to cooperate with the Chinese army to attack Burma. Because China, on its side, has also decided to send troops in the winter to teach Myanmar a lesson from the north and south.

As long as he succeeds, Prince Nalai will be able to regain the lost territory in the north and consolidate his rule with great military exploits.

The Nonthaburi defenders, in the face of the sudden enemy, all panicked and climbed the city wall to defend. The Chinese merchants from the port outside the city came to welcome Wang Shi, and they saw the military flag of the Datong army.

"I am Prince Nalai, the King of Siam canonized by His Majesty the Emperor of China," Prince Nalai said to the Han merchants, "as long as I take back Ayutthaya, I will hand over some of Siam's trade to the Chinese merchant manager!" ”

A group of Han Chinese people couldn't believe it, and one of the Han merchant leaders asked, "Is what the prince said true?" ”

Prince Nalai said: "Every word is true, and there will be no repentance!" Immediately go to the city as messengers and persuade you to surrender. My uncle, Si Sotanmara, usurped the throne, and everyone was condemned, and I am the true king. As long as the defenders surrender, I will give him a knighthood. If he did not surrender, the Chinese emperor would send an army of 100,000 to the site. ”

"Prince...... Wait a minute, King! "The leader of the Han businessmen actually really entered the city.

At this time, Siam was open to the outside world, and businessmen from all countries could come here to do business.

Twenty or thirty years ago, the Japanese had a near monopoly on Siamese trade. However, with the death of Yamada Nagamasa and the closure of the Japanese shogunate, Dutch and Chinese merchants quickly seized a share of the trade.

Because the Dutch were too domineering and often demanded monopoly by force, the Chinese merchants and Persian merchants joined forces and formed an alliance against the Dutch.

At the same time, the old king did not like the Netherlands and vigorously supported the Han forces.

Van Ferre, director of the Siam Merchant House of the Dutch East India Company, wrote enviously in his work diary: "There are many Chinese living in Siam, and they enjoy the right to trade freely wherever they are, and are respected by the king. There are many Chinese who have been granted high status, even Siamese official positions. There are also many Chinese who are considered to be the most capable agents, merchants and boat owners...... The chargΓ© d'affaires, warehousemen and accountants sent overseas by the King of Siam were all Chinese. ”

Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam, alone, has three to four thousand Chinese settled, and this is still the data of the Wanli period.

Historically, after Prince Narai became king, he directly handed over all the domestic and overseas trade of Siam to the Han merchants. Except for the Netherlands, all the businessmen from other countries supported this regulation, and even the British and French were very satisfied, because they all felt that Chinese businessmen were the fairest way to do business.

After waiting for about half an hour, the gate of Nonthaburi suddenly opened.

Civil and military officials, with soldiers and merchants, went out of the city to kneel and welcome Prince Nalai home.

Nalai took out the canonization document of the Chinese emperor and the golden seal of the king of Siam given by the emperor, and announced on the spot: "I have been canonized as king by the emperor, I am the real king of Siam, and the one in Ayutthaya is fake." You must follow me, take Ayutthaya, and kill the kingslayer. I will reward my deeds and will never treat any follower lightly! ”

"Long live King Nalai! Long live King Nalai! ”

Siamese officials and soldiers, kneeling on the ground, chanted in unison.

Immediately, Narai conferred on his two advisors the title of "Chao Phraya" (similar to a duke). Yang Dongkui was temporarily in charge of army logistics, and the Greek Walcon held a similar position as chief of staff.

He also canonized Nonthaburi as a "Phaya" (similar to a marquis) and still commanded his troops.

Even several Han Chinese leaders in this area were canonized as "kun" (similar to barons).

For a time, morale was high and everyone was satisfied.

At the same time, a letter was sent to various places to beg for thieves, ordering the local troops of all Siam to come to King Qin.

Without waiting for the arrival of King Qin's troops, King Narai collected some grain, grass and boats, and immediately slaughtered along the river to the capital Ayutthaya.

The usurper king Si Sotan Maracha was frightened when he heard the news, and he also issued an order to beg the thief and the king of Qin, and hurriedly collected troops to defend Ayutthaya.

Then, the creature was assassinated by his men......

A heart-wrenching "The Prince's Revenge", which is about to stage the most magnificent part, suddenly came to an abrupt end.

But King Qin's troops are still coming over one after another, and I don't know which king they want to attend.

This is exactly in the hands of King Nalai, there is no need to gather additional troops, and with the troops of King Qin from all over the country, he can directly kill Burma.

The division is famous, regain the lost ground!

At the same time, the Datong Army, which had been preparing for several years, had also assembled on the northern and southern borders of Myanmar.
