Chapter 559: Quelling the Rebellion
Due to the long time of the rebellion, Hong Su cultivated many cronies, and these people knew that once Hong Changxin was asked to gain a firm foothold, they would die without a place to be buried.
So, they coerced some residents to start a street battle with Lu Ning and them.
But these people around Lu Ning were the elite of the elite, and the vanguard rushed into all the streets and alleys, and they were all wearing very light rattan armor, and they were not afraid of the other party's attack.
The bullets sent out by the Ming troops were unbearable for the other party, and soon, there were fewer and fewer people who counterattacked, and the officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty rushed in in a wave.
After a long time, the city of Sukhothai settled down.
The old king Hong Tuo had already been rescued at this time, and he was supported by his attendants, and came to Lu Ning tremblingly.
He carried the canonization decree written to him by Zhu Yuanzhang on his head, and knelt on the ground to thank the emperor.
Lu Ning comforted him.
"King of Siam, don't be polite, you were the first to take the initiative to worship in my Ming Dynasty, and it is within the scope of the protection of my Great Emperor, we will never allow any rebellious ministers and thieves to threaten your throne, you can rest assured tonight."
The other party and the queen were naturally grateful, and Lu Ning mentioned that the other party's daughter had married him as the princess.
When the other party knew that Lu Ning was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, his status was not only the crown prince, but also above the other kings, and he was also very happy.
"Xiao Wang's daughter can marry a young talent like you, it is really an honor for my Siamese royal family, my son Changxin, from today onwards, will return to Daming with the angel to learn the advanced science and culture of Daming, and one day in the future he will return to China and build my Siamese kingdom."
In fact, he also had his own purpose in arranging this, Siam's national strength was quite weak, whether it was Burma or other countries, as long as he attacked him, he couldn't stop it with a few people.
At this point, only by hugging Daming's thighs can he survive in the cracks of a big country. Sending his son to Da Ming is a study tour, but in fact, he is a hostage.
Lu Ning praised him again on behalf of the imperial court.
At that time, in the royal palace, the King of Siam had a banquet to entertain Lu Ning and other envoys. And the matter of publishing the security of the people and counting the loss of the treasury was left to his most trusted general.
At the banquet, Lu Ning mentioned the Daming Domestic Products Division and wanted to build a branch here.
And his Daming express company and bank will also build branches here.
In addition, he had to lease one of the largest places here to build a harbor in order to bring in some rare mineral resources from overseas.
At this time, the soldiers of Siamese were simply vulnerable in the face of the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and now there was no room for opposition from this king, so he naturally agreed.
Lu Ning told him again, in order to ensure the stability of your throne, I decided to leave the general Li Jinglong behind and lead these thousands of troops to be stationed in your country.
The first is to help you defend against the invasion of foreign enemies, and the other is to help you fight the rebel forces.
The King of Siam was very up-to-the-en, and promised to bear the military expenses of these garrisons.
Suddenly, Lu Ning signed a lot of contracts and orders here, and made a lot of money.
Because Lu Ning is a prince in Daming, according to the title, he is actually on a par with him, the king of Siam. Asking him to live in a post house in the outer city is a bit out of line.
So the king of Siam made an exception and invited Lu Ning and his wife to live in the palace and entertain him like the king of a country.
Lu Ning and the others were quite tired, so they went to the designated residence to rest, and at this time the King of Siam called his general out.
"Flood, I asked you to count the losses of our Ketai adults, have you finished counting?"
This flood has a bitter gourd face and said.
"O king, you have not known that your ministers have been ordered by you to inspect all the gold and silver treasures inside and outside the palace, but who knows, but they have been swept away. Do you think it was these Ming troops who did it?"
The King of Siam smiled bitterly and said.
"These people are elite troops sent by the Ming Dynasty, how could they do such a tasteless thing? It must have been the rebels who did it, and they were taken in a moment
All of them are arrested and tortured to extract confessions, and they must be told to spit out everything they have swallowed!"
The flood lowered his voice and spoke in the king's ear.
"In fact, according to some old slaves who did not die, they saw with their own eyes that the soldiers of the Ming army killed our palace, searched inside and out, except that they did not kill anyone, did not insult women, and took everything they could take."
Hong Tuo said sharply.
"Shut up for me, I said, this is all a good thing done by those damn rebels, the Ming army entered my palace to eliminate traitors, and those gold and silver treasures were hidden by these traitors, and they will say this to everyone in the future!"
The flood was still a little stunned, and the king couldn't stand it anymore and roared angrily.
"Get out of here."
After waiting for all the people to go out, the king picked up his teacup and took a sip of the bitter tea peculiar to Siam.
"Flood, Flood, why are you just such an elm head? Even if the Ming army robbed me of my treasure, can I really pursue it? Can I still order the head of the Ming army to be beheaded?"
Speaking of this, a wry smile suddenly appeared.
"In this state, it's not necessarily who cuts off whose head, you always say that you are difficult, who knows that it is even more difficult for me as a king, my brother is forced to the palace, and my son is still a straw bag, who will I hand over this country to in the future?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly shed a handful of sad tears.
"If this Lu Ning is not the son of the son of Hongwu Tianzi, then I must make my daughter the king, and then we have a military general here who can compete for the championship, there is no way now!"
