Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 434 Forget the Ming Dynasty

At the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, more than [-] giant ships are quietly moored there waiting.

From time to time, Taichang turned the binoculars and glanced at the river, and he couldn't help showing a trace of worry on his face.

It took them three days to arrive here, and Lu Xiangsheng also led the soldiers of the Wanshenji Battalion to support the King City of Siam in a Spike warship.

Logically speaking, there should be no problem.

After all, the king of Siam said he could hold on for a month.

However, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

In case Dong Hu went crazy and rushed to the Siam King City for a fierce attack, would the Siam King be able to hold on?

If that's the case, it's really hard to say.

It is not that the King City of Siam has not been attacked by Donghu. In history, Donghu has attacked the King City of Siam more than once.

Historically, the reason why Siam moved its capital to the vicinity of the Chao Phraya River estuary was because Donghu directly dismantled the Siam King City into ruins when it attacked the Siam King City for the last time, and all the people in the King City were taken back to Donghu by them.

This is how the Ayutthaya Dynasty of Siam in history perished.

So, how will it end this time?
After about two hours, a line of Spike warships finally appeared in the distant river.

Taichang turned the binoculars and scanned carefully, a strange look appeared on his face.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the Wolf Fang battleship should have gone down, and the cannons and artillery carriages hanging from the Dragon Fang battleship also disappeared.

This proves that the Royal City of Siam should not have been captured, otherwise, Lu Xiangsheng probably should have led his army back.

The problem is that Lu Xiangsheng did not lead the army back, but Zheng Sui came back with the fleet, and there was a more luxuriously dressed person next to this guy.

This person is very likely to be the King of Siam!
Why is the King of Siam running here at this time?
After a while, a long line of Spike warships came out from the Chao Phraya River, and the Spike warship that Zheng Sui and the King of Siam were on was heading straight for the flagship.

It was obvious that they were looking for him.

After thinking about it, Taichang went back to the study, sat there with a majestic face and waited.

Soon, Zheng casually brought the man in the fancy dress to the study.

The man in the fancy dress pulled Zheng Suina's head and bowed, lying down on the ground, he said gratefully: "Little Wang, I would like to thank the emperor for leading the source of the king's teacher. Siam will never forget the kindness of the emperor."

Uh, the Siamese king came here to thank you.

From the looks of it, the King of Siam still regarded Siam as a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, because he spoke the official language of Ming Dynasty, and he spoke it very well.

If he doesn't regard Siam as a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, there is no need to learn Mandarin Mandarin.

Question, isn't Donghu besieging Siam King City?

If you run over at this time, you are not afraid of chaos in the royal city!

Taichang nodded calmly, then raised his hand and said majestically: "There is no need to be polite, get up."

Hearing this, the King of Siam quickly got up gratefully.

Taichang couldn't help asking curiously: "Didn't Donghu hit your Siam King City yet?"

The King of Siam quickly explained: "The Donghu army has reached the outskirts of the city, but they are still building siege equipment and have not yet launched an attack."

Oh, I see.

From the looks of it, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion arrived in time.

Taichang nodded slightly, and asked again: "If I give you 120 infantry and [-] cannons, can you hold the big city?"

The King of Siam nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Donghu only gained an advantage by virtue of having muskets and cannons. The king's army led by the emperor has much more muskets and cannons than them. In addition, the big city is high and the moats are deep. It might break the big city."

It's good if you can keep it.

Taichang thought for a while and asked again: "How long can the food in your city last?"

The King of Siam said without hesitation: "The vicinity of the big city is originally a land of grain production, and there is still a lot of grain in the city. It will be no problem to persist for half a year."

Then it will be fine.

Taichang still wanted to ask something, but Zhang Zhiji walked in quickly, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the second batch of Shenji Battalion soldiers are ready."

This Aegis ship's crew is already fast, and with the addition of a group of ten thousand people, the speed is naturally astonishingly fast.

Taichang thought for a while, then simply waved his hand and said, "You should hurry back and stabilize the situation in the city. Don't worry, I will lead an army to clean up Donghu in a month and a half at most."

After hearing the words, the King of Siam lay down on the ground to express his gratitude, and then left respectfully.

There is no problem with this support.

After the last batch of Shenji Battalion soldiers were sent there, Taichang led the fleet back to New Jinling City, ready to return to the mainland of Daming to pick them up.

This time he planned to follow the route of Zheng He's voyages along the coast, first detour to Siam, then go to Quy Nhon, the king city of Champa, to resupply, and then pass through Qiongzhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture.

Although this would require a detour of more than a thousand miles, the advantage was that they would not encounter storms at sea, and they would be able to bring more pawns on the return trip.

Since he had set a time with the King of Siam, he did not stay in the New Jinling City for too long. Within a few days, he led the navy fleet to set off, bypassing Siam and headed straight for Champa.

On the Nanyang side, he also left an Aegis ship, [-] Longya warships and more than [-] Spike warships to be guarded by the navy governor Sun Chuanting.

This Champa Kingdom was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, and the first stop was Quy Nhon, the royal city of Champa Kingdom, for supplies.

Unfortunately, due to the decline of Ming's national power, Champa has not sent envoys to pay tribute to Ming for several decades.

To be honest, Taichang doesn’t even know what’s going on in Champa, and he doesn’t know if he can get supplies in Quy Nhon. Fortunately, it only takes five or six days to detour from the new Jinling City to Siam and Chenla and then to Champa. No, he can go directly to Qiongzhou Mansion to supply fresh water at that time, and it's the same.

Six days after the fleet set off, the Champa Kingdom on the route map finally arrived. Quy Nhon seemed to be normal, and the port was still there. There were even a lot of sailboats and oarboats parked inside.

The only strange thing is that the people in the port panicked after seeing the Daming Navy fleet, as if they wanted to escape but couldn't escape.

What is going on here?
The Champa Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so what is there to be afraid of when the King Master of the Ming Dynasty comes?

Taichang sent people to disembark to inquire and found out that Champa was already classified as a vassal state by Annan, and Quy Nhon was also occupied by Annan. The port of Quy Nhon was full of Annan's ships. They thought that the Ming Dynasty was a vassal. Here comes Xingshi's questioning!
I have to say, this really makes people speechless.

Daming's prestige is no longer there, and these vassal states have also started messing around.

It's not that he's here to ask questions, he just wants to build a supply point here to facilitate the navy fleet to travel to and from Nanyang in the future.

Unexpectedly, this happened.

This matter can’t be ignored. If not, how can we supply it here?
He could only order someone to call the officials responsible for Annan here.

As a result, he waited for a long time before an official dressed in an official robe of the Ming Dynasty hurried over in a fast boat.

Well, actually, what this person is wearing is not Daming's official uniform but Annan's official uniform.

Annan's official uniform is basically the same as that of Daming, and even Annan's imperial examination system is almost the same as that of Daming.

Look at the robe and crown belt of this person is actually a duke!
Who is this guy?
He sat on the top of the hanging ladder and waited for a long time before the official of the Annan Dynasty walked up quickly, lying on the ground in panic and said: "Ruan Huang, the Duke of Annan's throne and the leader of the Guangnan General Soldier, kowtowed to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live! .”

All right, the attitude is not bad, and what Daming official said is not bad.

Taichang snorted slightly, and then asked, "Why did King Annan attack Zhancheng Kingdom? They are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. Why did they conquer each other?"

Unexpectedly, Ruan Huang complained directly: "The emperor forgives the crime. This move is not what our majesty the king intends. It is to forgive the Duke Zheng Song for coercing the emperor to order the princes. He ordered people to do the invasion of Champa."

What is this mess?
During the Jiajing Dynasty, Annan seemed to have some benevolent Duke Mo Dengyong to usurp the throne and stand on his own. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was doing its best to deal with the southern Japanese and northern captives, and had no time to care about Annan. It could only send Mao Bowen, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Wensheng, Governor of Yunnan, to Zhennanguan , Pretending to send troops to conquer.

Later, Mo Dengyong sent Ruan Wentai to the capital to submit a petition, and then went to Zhennanguan to ask himself to be the commander of Annan. Jiajing also followed suit and gave up.

Perhaps it was because they saw that the Ming Dynasty had no time to manage them at all, and the various forces in Annan began to act unscrupulously.

Fortunately, at this moment, Annan has another duke Zheng Song coercing the emperor to order the princes. This Duan duke Ruan Huang seems to be at odds with that duke.

In other words, Annan has now split into four forces.

The problem is, these people haven't paid any attention to the Ming Dynasty, and they are here to conquer each other, and they are having a great time!

The Ming Dynasty also knew nothing about it!
Sigh, it's only been a few decades, and you've forgotten that there was a Ming Dynasty up there, messing around here!
