Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

China in Lin Yuan's era often made such statements, but at that time China was limited by its national power, and the statements were just words, and the countries of the world would not listen carefully. China under Lin Yuan's rule in this era is different. Lin Yuan The sentence "calling on all parties to exercise restraint" made Chulalongkorn hurriedly give the troops an order: "temporarily stop the attack."

Chulalongkorn brought Barclay to discuss again, and said: "Dear British friends, Lin Yuan just delivered a televised speech, calling on all parties to exercise restraint. I just ordered the troops to suspend the attack. Let's analyze it, Lin Yuan. What did the speech mean?"

Barclay thought for a while and smiled: "I think Lin Yuan is just talking casually, you don't have to mind, Your Majesty."

Chulalongkorn said with some concern: "Lin Yuan won't send troops to intervene, right? Siam is close to the sea, and the country is very small in depth. If Lin Yuan's troops land from the sea, they can invade Bangkok in two hours. It takes two days. You can hit Chiang Mai."

Barclay said firmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Chinese will not send troops to intervene anyway. I have already emphasized the reason countless times, so I don't want to repeat it."

Chulalongkorn said with lingering fear: "That's good, I will let the troops continue to attack." After speaking, he gave an order to the frontline commander to let the troops continue to attack.Barclay also got up to leave. Chulalongkorn saw that Barclay had gone, turned around and asked the attendant, "Has Princess Yalin arrived in Chiang Mai?"

The attendant replied: "It has arrived and is resting now."

Chulalongkorn said, "Take me to her."

Chulalongkorn set up the headquarters in the temple. The temple is more taboo for women to enter, so Princess Yalin was arranged in a high-end hotel outside the temple. Chiang Mai was a famous tourist city in Thailand in the Linyuan era. In this way, the British in Myanmar, India, and Malaya, the Dutch in Indonesia, and people from other parts of Europe who come to Southeast Asia for business all like to visit Chiang Mai, so there are many high-end hotels in Chiang Mai.

Chulalongkorn came to his daughter's room. Seeing his father coming, the little princess was so frightened that her whole body trembled, tears kept falling down, but she didn't dare to cry out. Seeing her daughter like this, Chulalongkorn He couldn't bear to blame too much, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her: "Father won't scold you, well, don't cry, wipe away your tears, I'll ask you something."

When the little princess heard that her father wanted to ask her something, she felt that she had found an opportunity to "make meritorious service and atone for her sins". She hastily wiped away her tears and said, "My father, please, Yalin will tell you everything."

Chulalongkorn asked: "You arrived in Guangzhou by boat, and then went to Beijing by train, right? Are there no bad people bullying you as a group of teenagers on such a long journey?"

The little princess nodded and said, "Yes, some liars tried to lie to us, but they were scolded away by a few well-meaning Chinese. The Chinese are very kind to us."

Chulalongkorn then asked: "So which one is better, China or Siam?"

Without thinking about it, the little princess said: "Of course it's China. There are many cars and tall houses on the streets of China. The places where things are sold are more lively than those in Siam, and the clothes are also better than those in Siam." The ones are beautiful, with more patterns and colors than those in Siam, and they also have a lot of things for girls to make up, and I even bought some, but I didn’t dare to bring them back.”

Chulalongkorn sighed softly, and said: "I heard that China is very powerful, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to take a look. By the way, I heard that you saw Lin Yuan. What kind of person is Lin Yuan?" ?”

The little princess recalled a bit, and said: "He is very handsome, not tall, but his body is very strong, unlike our Siamese princes, all of them have big bellies, and his eyes are bright... "

Chulalongkorn coughed lightly, interrupted the little princess, and said, "Don't talk about his appearance, talk about his character."

The little princess said: "I feel that he is a very gentle person, and he should be very considerate to others. He treats his subordinates very well. This is very similar to you..."

Chulalongkorn thought for a while and said, "If I let you go to China again, would you like it?"

The little princess was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What did my father ask me to go to China?"

Chulalongkorn said: "You and Prince Doma go together, as my special envoy, go to Beijing to contact Lin Yuan."

The little princess said: "If that's the case, let the prince go. I don't know anything about diplomacy."

Chulalongkorn sighed and said, "Your grandfather asked me to learn English when I was young. Now it seems that I may have learned from the wrong people. You go to China and study hard among Chinese people."

Princess Yalin repeatedly agreed, and Chulalongkorn secretly sent Prince Doma and Princess Yalin back to Bangkok and took a merchant ship to Guangzhou Port in China.

At this time, on the border between Siam and Laos, the Siamese army and the French army were fighting desperately, while Lin Yuan's 28th Division 252 Regiment stood on the sidelines, waiting for Lin Yuan's order.The Siamese war elephant corps is very strong. Just as the French ambassador told Lin Yuan, they are accurate in shooting, good in physical fitness, and familiar with combat in mountainous tropical jungles, so the French army retreated steadily.

During the attack of the Siamese army, the Lao Song family played a major role. The Lao Song family is a collective name for a group of ethnic groups living in mountainous areas. These ethnic groups have no concept of "Laos nationals" and naturally do not have "patriotic" ideas. The idea is very simple-the French bully people, they should be killed, the Siamese don't bully people, they should be helped!So these old Song people tried their best to help the Siamese army. The Lao Song people were familiar with the terrain, the Siamese army was good at fighting, and the French army was no match.

At 10 o'clock in the evening on October 9, the Siamese army had penetrated more than 100 kilometers into Luang Prabang, directly threatening Luang Prabang's most important city, Luang Prabang City.

After two days of fighting, the Siamese army stopped its offensive and began to rest, and the battle situation stagnated for a while.While in Beijing, the French ambassador told Lin Yuan: "The French President and Prime Minister have made it clear that they will not accept your proposed '100 billion RMB order' plan, nor will they withdraw from the French Federation of Indochina. France is currently actively preparing Military action, counterattack Siam."

Lin Yuan laughed secretly when he heard this statement: "Do you still want to counterattack Siam? The Indochina Federation is full of undercurrents. If you deploy a large number of troops to attack Siam, Vietnam and Cambodia will definitely be in chaos."

At one o'clock in the morning on October 10th, the French army stationed in Cambodia launched an attack on the Siamese territory - Siem Reap, Battambang and Sisofeng. These three places are the places that France has long coveted. Longkorn ceded the three territories in 10 in exchange for France giving up its extraterritoriality in Siam.
