Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 861

After hearing what Aimee Zhu said, Aimee Zhu smiled at Zhu Yu'e and said, "Sister Huang will definitely agree to your request—even if this island becomes your fiefdom, it won't affect you to follow me to the Tang Dynasty. Do you want to go?"

Although Zhu Yu'e didn't know that Aimee Zhu was keeping in touch with Aimee Zhu now, he knew that Aimee Zhu's words carried a lot of weight on Aimee Zhu's side.

Therefore, after hearing Zhu Yu'e's words, Zhu Yu'e felt less reluctant to leave the island.

Thinking of how many brothers he hadn't seen in six years, and not knowing how the Tang Dynasty is developing now, Zhu Yu'e said, "Then please ask Your Royal Highness to take Xiao Wang to the Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, get ready after you go down, we will set off in two days."

In the next two days, Zhu Yu'e dealt with the island's affairs, and the Mingyue obtained some supplies such as fruits, vegetables, and fresh water from the island. Visited all the islands.

In the early morning of the third day, the Mingyue took Zhu Yu'e, his three concubines, and five children and left Wuyang Island.

As for the affairs on the island, Zhu Yu'e handed it over to Wang Xing to take care of it temporarily.

···
Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Aimee Zhu didn't pay attention to Aimee Zhu's side all the time.

For one thing, sailing actually has to stay on board most of the time and endure boring, boring time.

Although Aimee Zhu brought a few companions, they could play chess, play cards, and even watch movies and TV dramas on the boat, but for onlookers like Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming, it was obviously boring.

Second, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, even with the Military Affairs Council and the cabinet sharing military and political affairs, there are still many things that need to be handled by her every day.

On this day, Siam's North Town Fusi Jinyiwei spies sent back two important news.

Under the instigation of domestic legal persons and some nobles, King Narai of Siam detained hundreds of Ming businessmen and workers in Ayutthaya.

Afterwards, without waiting for the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to negotiate, some Siamese officials acted privately against the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, causing two merchants to die violently in prison!
Another piece of important information is that King Narai and the King of France exchanged letters and became "friends" and borrowed [-] soldiers from France as mercenaries.

After reading these two pieces of information, Aimee Zhu couldn't help being angry even with her current energy-raising skills.

After photographing the telegram with the information on the imperial case, she said with a cold face: "Military ministers are sent to the Hall of Martial Arts to discuss matters!"

A quarter of an hour later, all the military ministers came to the Hall of Martial Arts.

Auntie Zhu first informed the ministers of the two pieces of information that came back from Fusi of Beizhen, and then said: "Although Siam regards my Ming Dynasty as its suzerain, in the past few decades, it has always been close to Westerners and far away from Ming Dynasty.

Now they are secretly colluding with the French, using French soldiers to plot wrongdoing, and detaining our Ming businessmen and craftsmen, causing our Ming people to die tragically in prison.

If this generation doesn't teach me a lesson, I'm afraid that all countries in Southeast Asia and the West will think that I am weak and can be bullied! "

As soon as Li Yan and the others heard this, they knew that Zhu Wei was going to send troops to attack Siam.

After Ming established the two provinces of Burma and Cochin, Nanzhang and Siam sandwiched in the middle made Daming feel like a thorn in the throat, especially Siam, because Siam actually bordered Jiazhou in the South China Sea Province of Ming Dynasty in the south.

The Daming Military Council had been planning to find a reason to attack Siam, but it never occurred to the King of Siam to detain the businessman of the Ming Dynasty and kill two people.

Last year, Lu Daqi, who was transferred back to the Military Affairs Council and Minister of Military Affairs after being the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the small country of Siam dares to offend our great tomorrow, and it is indeed a lesson. Your minister please discuss sending troops to attack Siam!"

Ma Shiying immediately came out and said: "Since the Ming Dynasty dominated Southeast Asia, it was difficult for Western merchant ships to reach the east of Malacca. However, in recent years, Siam has opened up to Western countries, making Western countries use Siam as a transit point, dividing our Ming Dynasty. Koshu's big business interests.

Now he is detaining my Ming businessman again, which is really deceiving people too much. Why did he regard Daming as the suzerain country?Not sending troops to punish this country is not enough to show the prestige of our Ming Dynasty! "

Although the rest of the military ministers were not as radical as the two, they also expressed their approval to send troops to attack Siam.

Then, the military aircraft meeting changed the topic to how to attack Siam.

Siam is what Ming called the country.

As early as the Yuan Dynasty, there was the Siam State in the north and the Luo Hu State in the south. Later, the Luo Hu State conquered the Siam State.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, established the country, the country paid tribute. According to the documents of the previous dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang named the king of the country the "King of Siam", and the name Siam came from this.

In fact, Siam's self-identified country name is "Thai", and it can also be called Thailand.

Because earlier, the area was controlled by the Khmers, and the people were enslaved by the Khmers.

Later they gained freedom, so they called themselves Thais.Because "Thai" means "free man, not slave" in Siamese.

After the Thai people became independent, they first experienced the Sukhothai Dynasty. Almost at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the middle of the fourteenth century, the Ayutthaya Dynasty rose and eventually replaced the Sukhothai Dynasty.

Ayutthaya is what the Chinese call the current capital of Siam, and the Thai people call it "Ayutthaya", so it can also be called the "Ayutthaya" kingdom.

Calculated, the founding time of the Ayutthaya Kingdom was about the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, and it is actually in the late kingdom now.

In fact, a hundred years ago, Ayutthaya was captured by the Burmese army, making Siam a vassal state of Burma for 15 years.

After that, the new king of Siam, Narisuan, was born and made Siam independent again, and only then continued the life of the Ayutthaya Dynasty.

After Narexuan, Siam has been governed by three generations of virtuous kings, and its national strength has become quite strong. In these years, it has been able to compete with Myanmar in the northwest, and compete with Vietnam in the east for control of Chenla.

This generation of King Narai of Siam succeeded to the throne in the tenth year of Zhaowu.Until this time when the businessman of Ming Dynasty was detained, he was very respectful to Ming Dynasty on the surface.

However, according to the information of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, in fact, in the past few years, Nalai has been in close contact with Westerners, and eventually became Louis XIV's "pen pal" and borrowed [-] soldiers from France.

Of course, the detainment of the Ming businessman this time was not entirely Narai’s original intention—the pressure from some Siamese nobles and Westerners was also an important reason for forcing him to do so.

As for the sudden death of the Ming businessman in prison, it was probably not in Na Lai's plan.

But since the incident happened, Daming must ask Siam for an explanation.

Since the Ming Dynasty took over Vietnam and established Jiaozhi Province, there has been no war in the southwest for the past two years.

But the soldiers of the frontier army and the garrison are still practicing diligently, gearing up one by one, waiting to make contributions.

Therefore, after deciding to attack Siam, the Ming court did not have to worry about running out of soldiers.

After three consecutive days of deliberations, it was finally decided to divide the army into three groups, and with the momentum of thunder, the big plan to destroy Siam in one fell swoop.

The West Route Army dispatched troops from Burma Province, with Yang Zhan as the main general; the East Route Army dispatched troops from Jiaozhi Province, with Li Dingguo as the commander;

　Second more.

　　Good night~
