Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 433

Taichang is really a little tangled at the moment.

Siam sent envoys to ask for help, of course he would not ignore it.

Because this is a good opportunity to reshape the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming has been silent for so long that many of the vassal states have forgotten the suzerain state of Daming.

How glorious was the prosperous age when all nations came to court.

In history, Da Ming insisted on playing himself to a miserable end.

He didn't want that.

The coming of all nations is not a matter of face, but a sign of a dynasty's prosperity.

The fact that the vassal states are competing to send envoys to pay tribute proves that a dynasty has become so powerful that it is awe-inspiring.

If the subordinate country ignores you, or even wants to beat you back, it proves that this dynasty is not far from extinction.

This kind of thing is not a joke. The coming of all nations is really important for a powerful dynasty.

If you are strong and people don't want to talk to you, it proves that you are a single husband!
Such a dynasty, no matter how powerful it is, is bound to perish.

There are no such examples in history.

Such as Qin Dynasty and Sui Dynasty.

The reason why these two dynasties perished was not because they were not strong enough.

Daming can't be such an independent husband.

Therefore, the matter of the vassal state Siam must be taken care of.

The problem is that he really doesn't have enough troops right now!
This time he only brought a total of [-] infantry, and the British government, Jinzhou Island, and Manchuria were all captured by the Dutch, the overlord of the sea, so he had to send troops to garrison them.

Especially here in New Jinling City.

This is the main throat to enter Nanyang. In order to build a city here, he not only brought in all the captured Dutch mercenaries and employees of the East India Company, but also attracted more than [-] Nanyang survivors.

At this moment, the city and fortress here have not been repaired yet. If they fall, not only will the situation in Nanyang become a mess, but he will also feel sorry for the Nanyang survivors who followed him to build the city.

Therefore, heavy troops must be guarded here.

The British government and Jinzhou Island cannot withdraw all their troops.

Calculated in this way, how many people can he mobilize?

He calculated, and at this moment, he could at most mobilize [-] to [-] infantry to support Siam.

What can this little man do?
If the opponent is a mob without muskets and artillery, that's all right.

The problem is that they have muskets and cannons, and they have an army of more than [-].

Although there are not many muskets and artillery, there is an essential difference between having and not having these things.

Because people have muskets and cannons, they understand the power of this thing and know how to deal with it.

In other words, if you just transfer [-] to [-] elites from the Shenji Battalion, they will most likely be overthrown by others!
He wanted to stand up, not to make a fool of himself.

If a little Donghu can't do it, then this face will be humiliated.

How to do it?

He frowned and pondered for a while, then asked, "Do you think the King of Siam can hold the king's city?"

Zheng Sui's face changed when he heard the words.

What does the emperor mean by this?
If the king of Siam is sure to hold the king city, why did he send me to ask for help?

He froze for a moment, then shook his head solemnly and said, "I estimate that nine times out of ten, I won't be able to defend, because the Donghu army has muskets and artillery, and it is difficult for the King of Siam's men to resist."

Then let's help others defend the royal city first.

Taichang thought for a while, and then solemnly said: "There are not many available soldiers in Nanyang at the moment, so I can only send 3 troops to help the King of Siam defend the king's city. Don't worry, I will mobilize the soldiers for at most one and a half months." The army is here to help."

Uh, 3 horses?

Is this man and horse useful?
Zheng Sui thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, are these 3 people equipped with muskets and artillery?"

The elite of the Shenji Battalion were originally equipped with muskets and artillery, and the amount of equipment was frighteningly large.

However, because the tanks take up too much space, the Shenji Battalion did not bring the tanks this time, and without the tanks, the small Thor cannon had to be carried away, and the march became extremely troublesome. The aircraft battalion didn't bring it either.

Of course, the artillery on the Dragon Tooth battleship can also be unloaded for the Shenji Battalion infantry. They used it like this when they fought against Japan.

The problem is that the gun carriages equipped with the guns on the Longya battleship are not for land use. If the land distance is too far, it will be troublesome to transport.

Taichang thought about it again, and simply asked: "Is there a river near the Siam King City? I'm talking about the kind of river that warships can sail into."

Hearing this, Zheng Sui nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the King City of Siam was built at the confluence of three rivers, and the waterways extend in all directions. I came here on a sailing boat of [-] materials. What I saw, the navy The warship is only about [-] materials, so it should be no problem to drive in."

That's it.

Taichang thought about it again, and then said decisively: "Jiandou, go and mobilize [-] infantry immediately, and prepare to go to Siam King City for support."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng cupped his hands and said "obey" without hesitation, and then walked away quickly.

Taichang immediately ordered: "Bo Ya, immediately mobilize ten Aegis warships, ten dragon-tooth warships and 240 wolf-tooth warships, and prepare to transport infantry to Siam King City for support."

When Sun Chuanting heard the words, he cupped his hands and said "obedience" without hesitation, and then walked away quickly.

Soon, groups of infantry from the Shenji Battalion began to quickly gather near the port pier, and the navy ships also quickly gathered to the nearby pier.

In about a quarter of an hour, [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were neatly lined up near the port pier, and ten Aegis ships had also approached the pier, and opened more than ten hatches on the lower floor.

Seeing this, Taichang waved his hand directly, and ordered decisively: "Command, the infantry of Shenji Battalion board the ship and prepare to set off."

"Wow!" The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion turned into teams again, ran up the pier at high speed, and merged into the Aegis ship.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion boarded the ship.

Taichang looked at Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng who had returned to the boat, thought for a while, and then said to Sun Chuanting: "Bo Ya, you stay to take charge of the overall situation, and Jiandou and I will go to Siam to see."

what?
When Sun Chuanting heard the words, he couldn't help dissuading him: "Your Majesty, your body of ten thousand gold cannot be in danger, let me go!"

Taichang smiled slightly and said, "I'm not going to Siam King City, I'm just going to see the route of this route."

Well, Sun Chuanting had no choice but to bow his hands and get off the boat.

Taichang immediately ordered: "Put away the hanging ladder and set off."

In a short while, 21 giant ships left the dock one after another, and then more than 200 Spike warships slowly approached. The ships quickly joined together, and the entire fleet began to accelerate, and quickly sailed towards the exit on the east side of the strait.

Zheng Sui was stunned at this moment.

He really didn't expect that Daming would send out troops so fast, it was like leaving as soon as he said it!

Also, the combination of this ship is too shocking.

He was in a daze, but Taichang suddenly asked: "By the way, you said that Donghu's army is less than a hundred miles away from the Siam King City. How long will it take them to advance to the Siam King City, and how long will the Siam King be able to defend?"

Hearing this, Zheng Sui came back to his senses, bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, the Donghu army is not advancing fast, and the city of Siam is not defenseless at all. When the minister came, the king of Siam said , as long as Master Daming arrives within a month."

a month?

New Jinling City is about [-] miles away from Siam King City, and it would take two or three days for the naval fleet to rush there, but I don't know how long it took this guy to come here.

Taichang thought for a while, then asked again: "How many days did it take you to come here?"

Without hesitation, Zheng Sui said: "Wei Chen ordered people to work hard all the way, and with God's favor, there was a little northerly wind, so it took me eleven days to come here."

That's fine, there's still half a month left, so there's no need to rush.

Taichang thought for a while, and then ordered: "Order, each Longya battleship hangs twelve sets of artillery and gun carriages, and each of the twelve Spike warships on both sides puts one set."

It is time-consuming to hang the cannon. Anyway, it can be hung during the voyage. If you prepare it in advance, you don't need to waste any more time.
