Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 826 The King of Siam Comes to See Him
On the city wall of the southeast line of defense, Taichang turned his binoculars and scanned the military camp of the Mughal Empire carefully, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ah San was not scared away.

It has been six days, and the leading generals who fled back during the surprise attack must have returned to the camp.

Ah San's camp did not show any signs of panic, they were still building siege equipment in an orderly manner.

This proves that Ah San is still not convinced and still wants to fight.

He really didn't want to scare Ah San away.

Because they are attacking them now, and the southeast defense line was built by Lu Xiangsheng like a moat, which is impossible to break through.

It can be said that Ah San came and died as many times as he came.

Moreover, they occupy a favorable location and will not suffer too many casualties.

If Ah San ran away, the situation would be different.

At that time, people will hide in the city and they will attack.

If people don't have guns and artillery, that's all. The problem is that the anti-Habsburg alliance is still providing Ah San with guns and artillery.

In this case, if they go to attack other people's cities, they will definitely suffer a big loss.

The difference between attack and defense can be described as heaven and earth.

It's like the same 10 horses.

If Ah San was used to attack the southeast defense line, it would basically be food delivery, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion could completely kill the 10 troops without any injuries.

If Ah San's 10 men defended the city and they went to attack, the ending would be completely different.

If people were equipped with thousands of cannons and tens of thousands of muskets to defend the city, at least half of them would be killed or injured if the [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion ran to attack!
Therefore, he didn't want to scare Ah San away, he wanted to use up almost all of Ah San's war potential here, and then wipe out all of Ah San's invading troops in one fell swoop.

In this way, it would be much easier for them to attack Ah San's territory.

Even if they had muskets and artillery provided by the anti-Habsburg alliance, there were not many people to defend the city. It would not be too easy for them to take down other people's cities.

Of course, if Ah San's war potential was to be exhausted, he would have to keep increasing his troops.

If they don't increase their troops, and just rely on the remaining [-] troops to consume them, then it will be meaningless to consume them.

Thinking of this, Taichang couldn't help raising his head and asked: "Jiandou, do you think Ah San will increase his troops? If they don't increase their troops, how can you stimulate them to continue to increase their troops?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I feel that Ah San will increase his troops.

Because since yesterday, they have been cutting down trees frantically on the edge of the jungle in the north.

They even ventured within range of our artillery and felled all the trees in front of the walls.

And there has also begun to build giant siege equipment.

Weichen thought that they wanted to expand the front line and launch simultaneous attacks within a range of dozens of miles.

If they really want to do this, 60 horses are definitely not enough. "

And this kind of thing, that would be great!
Taichang thought for a while, and then solemnly said: "We can't just plan the next wave, we have to find a way to lure Ah San, let them increase their troops, and try to use the geographical advantage here to exhaust their war potential in one fell swoop.

How do you think we should fight in the next wave so that they will not be so desperate that they withdraw their troops, but continue to increase their troops? "

This is a bit more difficult.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it carefully, and then said cautiously: "Weichen thinks that these Ah Sans must have some brain problems.

As long as we don't wipe out more than half of them at one time, they should continue to increase their troops.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this.

The premise is to let them see the hope of conquering the city wall.

Weichen felt that in the next wave, we could pretend that we didn't have enough troops and ammunition, and let them attack the city wall by letting them attack the city wall, and then beat them back.

In this way, they probably felt that they were almost able to conquer the city wall.

Weichen thought that as long as they could see the hope of conquering the city wall, they would definitely increase their troops. "

This is not a problem you think, Ah San's brain is just sick!

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Well, that's it, we can also prepare fireworks or something to make them feel that our ammunition has been lit by them.

In this way, they must be more enthusiastic.

However, if people are allowed to go up the city wall, there may be casualties among the soldiers defending the city.

We should create a batch of full-body armor, and then let a group of soldiers with better skills wear them, and put them up in specific sections to avoid casualties as much as possible. "

This is not difficult either.

Under the full mobilization of Ming Dynasty, the war potential is quite terrifying.

At this moment, the new Wuwei City has already received a telegram, and the canal in the south of Siam has also been dug through. It only needs to send a telegram to Wubei City, and the whole body will be ready and delivered soon.

They were discussing on the city wall how to lure Ah San to continue to increase the number of troops. Suddenly, a Jin Yiwei walked up quickly, bowed his hands and said, "Report, Your Majesty, the King of Siam please see me."

Why is the King of Siam running over to join in the fun at this time?
After thinking about it for a while, Taichang said goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng, and rode his horse to the wharf of Xinwuwei City.

After all, Siam is considered one of the most loyal vassal states of Ming Dynasty. Since the Hongwu Dynasty, they have always respected Ming Dynasty as their suzerain and never betrayed.

Although some of them did not come to Da Ming to pay tribute for a while, that was Daming's problem, not theirs.

The royal family of Siam has always regarded itself as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and has been learning the culture of the Ming Dynasty, and has never let go.

For such a loyal vassal state, it is natural not to be indifferent, to chill people's hearts.

Taichang rode all the way back to Xinwuwei City, boarded the Emperor, cleaned up, put on a formal dragon robe, and ordered someone to decorate the top of the Emperor, and then ordered the King of Siam Recruited.

Soon, the King of Siam walked all the way into the study room of the front hall, lay down on the ground and said respectfully: "My humble minister pays homage to the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said majesticly: "Exemption, flat body, and a seat."

Cao Huachun at the side immediately moved the chair that had been prepared to the side of the desk.

The King of Siam said "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness" before getting up and carefully sitting on the chair.

Taichang didn't talk too much, and asked directly: "You have traveled thousands of miles to come to see me, but what's the important thing?"

The King of Siam quickly explained: "I heard that the canal in the south has been repaired, and I don't have to go too far to visit the emperor here, so I asked the Daming Western Company for help and took a boat to come here.

The purpose of Wei Chen's visit to the emperor this time is mainly to ask the emperor, but Siam needs to send troops to help.

The war mobilization order issued by the emperor has already been received by Wei Chen, and Wei Chen has also summoned 30 horses to practice day and night.

I heard that the emperor is here to fight against the Mughal Empire, so I came here to ask.

If the emperor needs Siamese troops to help, the humble minister will immediately lead an army of 30 to serve. "

Well, this Siamese king is not bad, and he knows how to repay his kindness.

However, it is unnecessary to help, Da Ming's war potential is not a joke.

At this moment, the 20 garrison guards of the West Camp have almost completed their drills, and the 50 troops of the Southeast Camp have gathered in Xinwuwei City, and their weapons and equipment are almost complete.

In addition, the 20 garrison guards of the Ming Dynasty and the 50 troops of the Nanyang Camp have also been assembled and are rushing here.

Soon, more than 170 million people will gather here.

With so many horses, just fight the Mughal Empire, there must be no problem.

Siam's 30 horsemen really can't help much.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded in relief and said, "It's as long as you have the heart, at this moment, Daming hasn't reached the point where it needs the help of the subordinate countries to send troops.

You just need to train your men and horses well and keep your own territory. "

Hearing this, the King of Siam couldn't help saying with a little regret: "Your Majesty, do you really not need Xiao Wang's help?

The last time the emperor sent troops to save Siam from danger, Xiao Wang was always grateful and wanted to repay this great favor.

This time the emperor was fighting near Siam, and Xiao Wang really wanted to do something for the emperor. "

Uh, this one seems to be a little too generous.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Do you have any surplus food, melons, fruits, vegetables and meat are also fine.

After all, there are too many people gathered here, and the consumption is quite high. If you can supply a little nearby, you can save the trouble of transferring back and forth. "

This naturally exists.

The King of Siam thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the grace of the emperor, Siam has been enjoying good weather and good weather in the past few years.

In order to thank the emperor for his kindness, Wei Chen specially paid 100 million stones of grain, 100 million catties of fruits and vegetables, [-] cows, and [-] pigs.

Your Majesty, I don't know if this is enough.

If it's not enough, Weichen will think of a way. "

I didn't tell you to pay tribute.

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "There is no need to pay tribute, it is not easy for you to produce this little thing.

Let's do this, we will buy at the market price, and we will buy as much as you have. "

The King of Siam hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can I accept your money?"

Taichang still shook his head slightly, and immediately said without doubt: "You must accept this money!

If you don't charge money, won't the civilians who grow food, fruits and vegetables, and raise pigs and cattle suffer a lot?

If you don't want them to suffer, you have to suffer.

You are also my subject, how can I let you suffer? "

The emperor has said so, so there is no way.

The King of Siam could only cup his hands and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "You said you came here on a ship of the Daming Western Company, how do you feel about the armed merchant ships of the Daming Western Company?"

That would be great, of course.

The King of Siam couldn't help but praised: "The armed merchant ship of the Daming Western Company is really great. Not only did it carry a lot of people and goods, but it was also very fast, and the workmanship was also quite excellent. Every part of it was polished extremely smooth. , I don’t know how many times better than our Siamese-built boats.”

Since you like it so much, I'll give you one.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "You came so far to see me, and I didn't prepare any good things to reward you.

How about this, I will give you a brand new armed merchant ship as your car, so that you can travel more conveniently. "

what?
The King of Siam could hardly believe his ears.

Can such a good thing be rewarded?

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then confessed: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go back quickly.

After you go back, let the people under your rule grow more vegetables, melons and fruits, and raise more cows and pigs.

My battle is to destroy the Mughal Empire, and it may take a year or two.

It’s okay to talk about other things, such as fruits, vegetables and livestock, it’s a bit troublesome to transfer them, so it’s best to supply them nearby. "

The King of Siam hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand that I will mobilize all the common people to grow more fruits and vegetables, and raise more cattle and pigs after I return."
