- . Chapter 211 The End of the Dynasty
After King Zhaolu of Siam fell ill due to vomiting and hemorrhage, the situation in Siam became more and more corrupt. The armies of Llanojiadi and the King of Siam, who were originally facing each other on the line between River Kwai City and the center of the city, have been in a stalemate for nearly a month.
When the news that the King of Siam was ill reached the Siamese army, the outcome was already doomed.
The Siamese army will have no fighting spirit and will die without fighting. After Llanojiadi launched several fierce attacks, the eight thousand soldiers were defeated across the board like scattered dough.
Llanojiadi was also filled with hatred at this moment. Seeing that the throne of Siam was within easy reach, suddenly another Kavacen appeared in the north. What was even more disgusting was that this Kavacen was also supported by the Blackwater Ming Kingdom. This was obviously The guy in the south doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.
Lannogardi¡¯s resentment towards Zhu Ming once again arose in her heart. He was the one who deceived him into treason before, and now he is the one who is playing the balance game. This is one person playing two roles: red and white.
But hate comes back to hate, now Lannuojiadi cannot leave Zhu Ming for a moment.
Because the confrontation with the Siamese army lasted too long, the wealthy Ayutthaya area was not under control, which led to some difficulties in raising military resources. Now not only weapons, but also the supply of food began to rely on the Black Water Ming Kingdom.
Originally, Heishui Ming Kingdom was an importing country of grain, and a lot of grain had to be trafficked into the country from Siam. However, after slaves from all parties were vigorously imported into Heishui Ming Kingdom, the labor problem was solved, and most of the food crops were planted with high yields. The Blackwater Ming Kingdom now has more than enough food to be self-sufficient.
Now that all aspects have to spend money and food, Llanojiadi has only one way left, to plunder the population and plunder the population crazily.
It was originally just a tribe that was on the wrong side, but now it has developed into a tribe where Lannogardi has set a quota for each general under his command, how many captured slaves must be turned in every month, rewards for good work, and submissive for bad work. Catch people.
This greatly aroused the ferocity of the generals. They originally gathered to fight under Lannogardi for the benefit of the tribe. How could they tolerate the loss of their interests? As a result, the troops under Lannogardi began to attack civilians indiscriminately and capture slaves.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
It is terrible to lose the support of the people, but it is even more terrible to lose the support of the Black Water Ming Kingdom. Once the trade is cut off, the swords and guns can still be used, and there is also a small amount of gunpowder and food. They are plundering and plundering everywhere, but this will definitely make it harder to break Siam. Luo Guanjun's defense dragged on for a long time, and the people's resentment became more boiling.
So now, taking advantage of the good time when Zhaolu Qunjing is seriously ill, Lannuojiadi must launch a quick attack and capture the city as soon as possible.
When Lannogadi saw the towering walls of the great city, even though he had been there many times before, he was still uncontrollably excited.
Today, I come as a conqueror.
Sixty years have passed since the great city of Matipodi was built. This city has absorbed the best culture and material from the whole of Siam, and has continued to develop and thrive. Today, it is possible to master this majestic city. .
As a devout Buddhist, Llanojiadi was fascinated by the hundreds of scattered temples in the city. He secretly made a wish in his heart that as long as he conquered the city, he would reshape the golden bodies of all the temples. At the same time, he donated funds to build an unprecedented Honghui Buddhist temple.
After thinking about it with satisfaction, Llanojiadi's desire for the big city became more and more urgent, and he eagerly summoned the artillery team.
There are still several artillery instructors sent by the Blackwater Ming Dynasty in the team. Under their command, several six-pound cannons weighing several thousand kilograms were pushed up.
This kind of artillery was an experimental product produced by Zhu Ming during his early experiments with large-caliber artillery. It was quickly improved and improved, but these guns were cast to aid allies like Lannogardi.
The artillery can be loaded with more than four kilograms of cannons. This product of the early Blackwater Ming Dynasty is not very stable, and there is still a certain degree of danger when firing. Therefore, the instructors of the Blackwater Ming Dynasty just asked the Kwai River soldiers to fill it in. 80% of the normal amount of gunpowder was used.
Now that the army in the big city has no fighting spirit, the artillery can be pushed to a position very close to the city, and 80% of the charge can blast open the city gate, which is more than enough.
According to later records, the battle for the city, which lasted for seven days, started with thunder. At that time, there was only a flash of thunder, and a corner of the city wall collapsed, or screamed meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the city. Houses were destroyed. If it hits the human body, all the muscles and bones will be broken.
This horrific bombardment lasted for two days. Under such continuous use, one artillery bomb exploded once, and more than a dozen River Kwai gunners were blown to pieces. This is also Lan?One of the reasons why Jiadi made up his mind to start a general offensive, otherwise he would have wanted to bombard the people for several days to destroy the resistance of the people in the big city.
In his opinion, everything is developing in a good direction. Kavacen in the north has no time to compete with him for this big city. As long as he takes over here, he can legitimately restore the orthodoxy of Sukhothai.
Five days later, the city fell.
Although the Siamese army was unable to retreat and put up a fierce and desperate resistance in the big city, all their efforts disappeared with the news of Zhaolu Qunjing's death.
The people of the big city had no time to wipe away the tears of sadness, because they were about to face beast-like looting.
Because Ayutthaya was built and developed by the rulers of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, its residents were also loyal to the Siamese king Chaolu Qunjing.
Therefore, the initial resistance was quite strong, which caused a lot of casualties to Lannogardi. Lannogardi now had tens of thousands of combatable soldiers. Each one of them was his precious asset, not only to defend against the black water in the south. The Ming Dynasty now seems to have compatriots in the north to deal with, so he values ??the combat power of his men even more.
During the short siege of the city, even though there were artillery attacks, the over a thousand casualties still made him extremely angry. In order to boost morale, Llanogardi acquiesced to the burning, killing and looting of the soldiers after they entered the city.
The temple and the palace were tightly protected, but the streets were not so peaceful. From time to time, there were groups of Kwai River soldiers chasing the fleeing women, and there were also men who dared to resist and were killed. Everything was like hell. .
The monks in the temples were imprisoned in the courtyard at the moment, anxiously reciting Buddhist scriptures. From time to time, shrill cries of death could be heard outside, which made many young monks look fearful and confused.
Fires broke out in the city from time to time, and Lannuo Jiadi felt a lot of unbearable, but when he thought that this place had the greatest support for Zhaolu's followers and the most resolute resistance to Zhaolu, his initially compassionate Xin quickly hardened, but he just He ordered left and right: "Tell them not to kill them, but to arrest all those who resist and transport them to the south to do hard labor."
Rows of people from the big city tied up with long ropes were driven towards the south. Many of them were from well-to-do families, and some were government officials. At this moment, they were all being driven towards the south. What awaited them was the development of the New World. destiny.
Lannogadi was in the palace, full of ambition. He buried Zhaolu Qunjing's body according to the standards of ordinary nobles, and the tomb originally prepared by Zhaolu Qunjing was inspected by Lannogadi. , preparing to continue to expand and serve as a place to live in a hundred years from now.
Now that everything is over, Llanojiadi ran wildly in the palace.
Many of the royal family's wealth have never been seen before. Only the king can enjoy the exquisite porcelain utensils gifted by the Ming Dynasty. But now, they all belong to him.
Lannogardi rewarded all the concubines that enriched the harem to his generals. He felt that these were already unclean, and he wanted to re-select concubines throughout the country.
The original three and seven children naturally had their due status, but this was far from enough. Lannogardi was very proud. As the founding monarch, he must have many heirs, so that such an empire could prosper for a long time. .
The news that Llanojiadi had captured Ayutthaya and officially proclaimed himself king soon spread to the surrounding areas. First, the royal family members of the Ayutthaya dynasty began to raise their flags to resist. Then, after capturing the important northern town of Chiang Mai, Kawacen in the north also Claiming to be the King of Northern Elephant, he refused to recognize Llanojiadi, the successor of the Sukhothai dynasty.
The two sides still have a large area of ????power blanks waiting to be digested, so there is no direct conflict, but as the situation develops, conflicts are inevitable.
And this is what Zhu Ming is happy to see. The reason why the two sides were prohibited from fighting before was because Zhaolu Qunjing was watching eagerly, but the weather was not holiday, and at the most critical moment, Zhaolu Qunjing's body failed to hold on, and it was in vain. The two conspirators were given the advantage.
Zhu Ming¡¯s arrival indeed caused great changes in the world. The Ayutthaya Dynasty, which originally had more than three hundred years of life, came to an end, causing a huge shock.
First, the Lao Xuanwei Department quickly conveyed the news to Yunnan Prefecture, and the post station quickly conveyed the news to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
First, there was the Annan Rebellion, which had been renamed the Ming Dynasty's Chief Envoy of Cochin. It is still in the process of being suppressed. Now, such a big change has broken out in Siam further south. The officials in the Ming border areas did not dare to neglect it. The reports started from a few days ago. This place quickly spread to the capital.
At this moment, Manlajia's mother Gansayu's Ersha had already arrived at Yingtian, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Zhu Di comforted the prince of the tribute country with kind words, and mother Gansayu's Ersha gritted his teeth and asked Zhu Di for help. His father will redress his grievances and will definitely punish the lawbreaker Zhu Ming.
This Zhu MingAfter all, he was still a lord of the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, he had often paid tribute to some rare supplies from Nanyang. The two sides could always get along with each other. As for the rumors that Zhu Ming was abducting people in Nanyang, it was not about him.
Now the little brother here comes to cry and complain that Zhu Ming took away his country, but Zheng He took away the largest fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and now he doesn't go to any nook and cranny, it is really difficult to handle.
At that time, Zhu Di promised that mother Gansayu's Ersha would send envoys to Heishui Ming Kingdom to warn Zhu Ming. At the same time, he also asked mothergansayu's Ersha to stay in the capital temporarily and take good care of his body. Let the family settle down for a while.
So Mu Gansayu's Ersha lived in the Huitong Hall and was treated with good food and meat every day. Each person was also given two pieces of silk and satin every month and a hundred taels of silver every month. This was considered You don¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing. If you want, you can even live in the Ming Dynasty and eat and drink for the rest of your life.
The sailors below saw that the Ming Dynasty really treated these bereaved dogs, and they were relieved. For them, wherever they go is nothing more than eating well and living a comfortable life. Now in this Ming Dynasty It doesn't seem to be the case, except that it's a bit colder in winter.
But this was not the case for Mu Gansa's son Sha. Zhu Di only agreed to send an envoy to rebuke him. It is a genius to know how effective this rebuke was, but it was impossible for Zhu Ming to return the country to him after scolding him. Therefore, he was ostensibly He was calm and natural, and when he was free, he gathered the poor hundreds of people under his command for some training.
In fact, only he knew clearly in his heart that if there was no big accident, he would have to live alone in the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, Hu, the minister of etiquette, who had made friends with him that day, came to tell him the best news: Siam was also undergoing great changes. During the Hongwu Dynasty, King Chao Luqun of Siam came to Beijing to meet the great ancestor. What is even more surprising is that Zhaolu Qunying died of illness due to internal and external difficulties.
"On the outside is Zhu Ming, and on the inside are the two new groups of traitors.
What a big deal. Although the Ming Dynasty focused on matters in the north, it can be seen from Zhu Di's decisiveness in sending troops to capture Annan that the dignity of the Ming Dynasty cannot be insulted.
??The Annan incident is still pending, and things like this are happening one after another in Manchuria and Siam. Where does this put the face of the glorious dynasty, and where does it put the dignity of the talented and resourceful emperor?
I heard that Zhu Di was very angry when he heard about this matter. Things happened one after another in the south, and he completely ignored his overlord, the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhu Ming was very obedient and eagerly came to Daming when he was summoned and stayed there for half a year, but these few things he did recently were not honest, so Zhu Di called his mother Gansayu's Ersha again. I asked him in detail about the Siamese and Malay forms.
"The Ersha scattered by Dangmugan describes Zhu Ming's army with its flags fluttering and thousands of firearms. Everywhere it goes is a sea of ??fire, and the sharp gold and iron armor of the firearms cannot stop it."
Although Zhu Di, a barbarian, had not seen much of the world, and the situation he described was quite untrue and exaggerated, from his description, Zhu Di still saw a force that was constantly expanding. The strength is still very weak.
But at this time, there were more arrogant Jiaozhi rebels, which involved a lot of Ming Dynasty's energy. The new conquering general Mu Sheng led an army of 30,000, and played a cat-and-mouse game with the rebels under Jiaozhi's secret order. There is a lot of military resources.
There are remnants of the Mongolians in the north and west who are aggressive. At this time, they are preparing to move the capital to Peking. The family is big and the business is big. Although the empire is huge, the expenses are not small. Things have to be done one by one, but the necessary attitude is still required. It's obvious.
So Zhu Di sent another envoy, this time much larger than the last one. It first went to the Chief Secretary of Cochin to comfort the local natives, and then continued south to Siam to reprimand the rebels, and then ordered Zhu Ming to Promote the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, maintain local order and enlightenment, and comfort the environment and the people.
The Ming Dynasty¡¯s mission is still on its way, and Zhu Ming is already continuing his policy of weakening Siam.
There are still more than two million registered households in Siam, and most of them are Thais. They cannot be easily annexed in a hurry, so Zhu Ming is continuing to drive away wolves and swallow tigers.
Now Kavacen is ambitious and wants to go south to compete with Lannogadi for hegemony. Zhu Ming is worried that if Kavacen stays in the north and is out of control for too long, he may gradually develop disobedience. Therefore, Zhu Ming began to provide a small amount of fire starters to Kawacen to help him quickly clean up the surrounding forces and expand southward.
If the two major forces are bordering the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, it will be more convenient for Zhu Ming to control them.
Lannogadi and Kavazen ??were the first to send Zhu Ming letters of credence after announcing the kingship and establishing the title. They will be their country forever, open to mutual markets, and the people of the Black Water Ming Kingdom.Within the territory of Siam, one can travel four directions without any restrictions.
Zhu Ming accepted these two documents of goodwill with a smile and returned many rewards. Now he can be regarded as a man with a younger brother. As long as he remains strong enough, neither of the two younger brothers in the north dare to show any disrespect to him.
However, you can stir up friction from time to time, let the two younger brothers fight each other, and the captured slaves can be invested in the development of Zhanzhou.
With this barrier in the north, there is a buffer zone of power with the Ming Dynasty, and this buffer zone is obedient. This means that if the Ming Dynasty takes action, it will not be able to bypass Siam, and the Blackwater Ming Dynasty will not be able to bypass it.
But if the Black Water Ming Kingdom takes action, they can quietly cross the border from Siam and attack the opponent by surprise.
Of course, Zhu Ming will not act in this way towards Daming at this stage. Moreover, the Timur Empire in the West has gradually declined since Timur's death. Zhu Ming also thought that if there was an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, it would also reduce the pressure on the West for Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, rumors about Zhanzhou have gradually become popular in the market, saying that Zhanzhou has discovered strange gems and large amounts of mineral deposits.
?? Originally, His Majesty Zhu Ming, the leader of the country, thought that Zhanzhou was a barren land, so he encouraged various merchants to develop it to see if they could develop this barbaric land.
Now that such a large amount of minerals have been obtained, His Majesty Zhu Ming, the lord of this land on his own, wants to close the waterway to Zhanzhou, and no one can enter Zhanzhou privately.
It is rumored that Zhanzhou will be classified as Zhu Ming's private land. Every plant and tree in Zhanzhou continent will belong to Zhu Ming alone, and no one else can get involved.
After the news spread, many businessmen who were originally attracted to Zhanzhou but did not dare to go because the risk was too high were heartbroken. However, the distance was far away and they were too distracted by the lard to dare to invest.
Suddenly, the price of slaves on the market in the Blackwater Kingdom suddenly became expensive. It was more expensive than the slave markets in neighboring countries. These slaves were just three years of hard-working labor in the Blackwater Kingdom.
