On August 19, the twenty-third year of the Zhizheng, the Pengyu received the envoy of Ayutaya, the other party's intention was very simple, hoping that the Cham would send troops to resist the Manjapahit, and the Pengyu also refused with the reason that he was trapped in the Chinese battlefield, the envoy nodded, and now there are two gateways in the Indochina Peninsula, one is Ayutaya, Ayutabyana is south of the Manjapahit Bayi, and is threatened by the military of the Manjapahit.

The other is the Champa and Lancang countries, bordering the Yuan in the north, once these portals are breached, the rest of the countries will be threatened by the threat of Yuan, the relationship between Yuan and these Nanyang countries is not good, probably there is a problem with the implementation of the policy, who makes Yuan's mind think about conquest every day.

When the envoy saw that there was no hope for Razhampa to join the war, he brought up something else. Rama Tiebodhi had told him before he came that it was better to let the Chams join the war, and if that didn't work, we would buy their weapons. Speaking of this, Rama Tiebodhi became angry, the weapons provided to them by the Cham during the war were cheaper, and they would be much more expensive if they were sold in peacetime, but they had to buy them, after all, the country needed these weapons for attack and defense.

When he heard the envoy's request, his eyes lit up, and he came to business, and he came to business.

"I hope Your Majesty can sell it to us cheaper." The messenger said.

"That's natural, our two countries have close contacts, and now that we are suffering so much, how can we stand by and watch. It just so happened that recently we captured another batch of artillery from the Yuan army, you see that the price is right, just take it. "I made a puff and said.

It's artillery! The envoy looked at the barrels of cannons on the ground, and fell into deep thought, artillery is indeed a good thing, Majapahit has used this weapon in the war and defeated many countries, and now we can buy these cannons, and we can also match his strength.

The envoy looked closer, then thought of the cannons in his own country, and asked, "No, why does this cannon look a little different?" ”

It's broken, it's going to be seen. He forced himself to calm down, and said: "You use the production in the north, and ours is produced in the south." ”

"It won't make that much difference." The envoy retorted when he heard the words of the ruler, but he regretted it when he said it, it was bad, the man who spoke to me was the king of the Champa country, and if I was not careful, I would be gone.

He didn't care about this, so he said: "This is the process problem, those of yours are produced in the south, we use those produced in the north, this south, it is rainy, so, cough cough, it doesn't look so good, our dry in the north is naturally good-looking, but you can rest assured, the effect is good." ”

The messenger nodded, it is true that weather factors can affect many things, and salt drying is a typical example.

Seeing that the envoy no longer doubted, he breathed a sigh of relief, I was really a little clever ghost, and said: "This cannon is cheap for you, how about one for you 100 taels?" ”

The envoy calculated in his heart, many of them spent an average of 1,000 taels to buy a cannon at the auction before, but now they only need to spend 100 taels of silver to buy one, isn't this blood gain? The messengers blossomed happily.

He looked at the messenger of joy, and suddenly felt stable, so why don't you hurry up and buy it.

Indeed, now the messenger's mind is to buy, buy, buy, and Rama Tiebodhi has provided him with enough funds to buy weapons, so ......

"Your Majesty, it is really sincere enough, in order to show our sincerity, we will buy two thousand doors." The messenger said.

It's only 2,000 doors, I thought I could buy 10,000 doors like last time, and I wouldn't be able to make money like that? So he quipped: "I thought I could buy 10,000 doors like last time." ”

The messenger was almost speechless, ten thousand doors? Million? I've only been established for more than ten years, how can I be so rich, the last auction was about to drain the treasury, this time before buying weapons was taken out of the treasury of Rama Tiebodhi, and now the state funds are all used in the king's private treasury.

But he couldn't say it, so he said: "Your Majesty also knows the predicament of our country, and we can't take out this money at once." ”

Zheng Pengyu nodded, and he was not afraid that you would repay the debt, after all, most countries care about their face, and they will not owe money and not pay it back.

After signing the contract, the envoy took his leave and brought the contract back to China for Rama Tiebodhi to see, and when the messenger sent the contract back again, he could enter production.

At present, the Northern Army and the Southern Army are equipped with gunners, muskets are still being studied, the earliest muskets can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, the earliest invention of muskets is a person called the old rules, but at that time the musket only has a range of more than ten meters, the lethality is really limited, so there is no large-scale use, now the system Pengqiao ordered to invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to study the improvement of the musket, and even released a bold statement, how much money, how much to give.

At present, the ratio of arms in the southern army is as follows: Army: cavalry: gunner is 7:2:1, the gap between the northern army and the southern army is much larger, the northern army is mainly responsible for guarding the north, the ratio of army, cavalry and gunners is 3:1:6, since the development of artillery, the reform of the military branch has begun, many infantry and cavalry have been transferred to gunners, and even the city defense army is required to use artillery.

On August 21, the 23rd year of the Zhizheng, the Majapahit army went to Ayutthaya and was discovered by the Ayutthaya city defense army, and then there was a battle between the two sides, and the Majapahit army was defeated and withdrew to Ratburi, and the Ayutabhaya army did not dare to pursue, fearing that Ha Dyu Wulu's attack on Sukhothai was a cover, and if Ayutthaya was defeated, they would basically be defeated.

Fortunately, Bago's support arrived in Mawlamyine, and the two armies attacked inside and out, repulsing the Majapahit army, which retreated in the direction of Rakburi, and the two armies pursued to Ratchaburi with victory.

On August 22, the 23rd year of the reign of the Khmer monarch, Suryadi, was recovering well, and he decided to see how his heir was putting the government in order.

"Your Highness, Majapahit has already conquered Ratchaburi, and Sukhothai has heard that it has become their target, so let's send troops quickly."

"You don't have to persuade me, I won't send troops."

The officials were helpless, they had already admonished the heir of the future empire many times, but at present, it seemed that his ability was far from being qualified to be the emperor.

Majapahit is calling again? This little rabbit cub has not even sent troops, and these ministers should have persuaded them several times to see this posture.

At this time, Suriyadi just thought that maybe he was not mature enough as an heir, and it would be good to wait for it to be honed.

Suryadien was about to go in, but found the Ayuthian envoy entering the court.
