The Han culture is spreading strongly in Southeast Asia

Chapter 57: None of them are easy to deal with

Mo Zibu is still in Nakhon Si Thammarat because the Chinese New Year is approaching, which is a top priority for the Chinese.

In addition, the merchant ship arranged by my father Ou Tianci has not arrived yet, so we have to wait.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zibu had originally planned to rest in Songkhla after resolving Wu Rang's issue, but ended up staying directly at Wang's house.

Wang Runzhi has now taken over all the work of the Luokun Wang family. Wang Chunfa has also packed up all his personal belongings and is ready to wait for the merchant ship from Hexian to arrive. He will then follow the people from Hexian and go to Hexian to live out his retirement with his wives and concubines.

The Wang family gave the port of Luokun to Mo Zibu, allowing him to station his army there.

Wang Wubing and more than 60 other servants of the Wang family who were willing to go with him have also become subordinates to Mo Zibu. They are now forming a battalion with the pirate brothers Chen Xu and Chen Nan, who are both ruthless and from Xianyou.

Among these two people, Wang Wubing was familiar with Grandpa Qi's military training records and Xu Dong's Tiger Seal Classic of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was proficient in battle formations and was very good at training soldiers.

However, because he has been staying in the Wang family, he has the ability to fight in public security battles, but lacks experience in big scenes. He is a very powerful potential stock, but for the time being he still needs to continue to improve.

Chen Xu was the opposite. He was illiterate. At the age of twelve, he was bullied and in anger, he climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to kill the fishing tyrant. He then became a pirate at sea and lived on the edge of a knife until he was twenty-eight years old.

He can be said to have been through hundreds of battles and has seen all kinds of scenes. He has killed at least thirty people, if not fifty. He is a complete ruthless man and a gangster.

These people are as incompatible as water and fire, so Mo Zibu simply put them together, just to practice witchcraft.

It all depends on who defeats whom in the end, and what kind of SSR card or two SR cards can be drawn for Mo Zibu. It all depends on their luck.

. . . .

It was another high-level banquet, and Wang Runzhi personally invited them.

However, Wang Runzhi was quite mysterious. He even took him to walk through a section of the Wang family's waterside corridor and even pretended to leave in advance because of something.

Mo Zibu didn't think anything was wrong at first, so he waited until he heard some playful noises before taking a closer look.

In the distance, a fair-skinned little beauty wearing a light yellow horse-faced skirt, which is very rare in Southeast Asia, was playing with several maids.

It was as if she suddenly saw Mo Zibu walking along the waterside corridor. The little beauty was startled at first, but then she didn't have the face to run away. Instead, she covered her face with a fan and walked over gracefully. There was a blush on her face, which was not sure whether it was from tiredness or shyness. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Mo Zibu.

"Could it be the Fifth Master of the Mo Family? My father said you are a great hero!"

The little beauty is very proactive, without any of the reservedness of Han jade, she is straightforward and passionate, with a bit of the straightforwardness of Nanyang women.

Mo Zi deliberately chuckled and said in a somewhat uncouth manner;
"Oh, really? Miss, you must also like this kind of hero, right?"

In later generations, this statement would seem a bit overconfident, or even a joke, but at this time, it was a bit unconventional.

Although the little beauty grew up in Southeast Asia, she was still a beautiful girl at heart. She could not stand such words and felt a little insulted. She stomped her feet in anger and turned around and ran away.

Mo Zibu burst out laughing. After a while, he saw Wang Runzhi walking towards him from a distance, pretending to be serious. Seeing that Mo Zibu was still there, he immediately asked:

"What is Fifth Young Master looking at? Did he see any beautiful scenery?"

"No!" Mo Zibu firmly denied, "I suddenly thought of something and paused for a moment."

what?
Wang Runzhi couldn't help but look around and felt a little confused.

"Didn't you see it? Didn't he come?"

Mo Zibu pretended not to hear clearly, "Brother Shi, what are you talking about? What didn't come?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing, please come in, Fifth Young Master." Wang Runzhi reacted immediately, quickly covered it up, and walked towards the banquet hall with Mo Zibu.

How could Mo Zibu not understand what was going on? It was obvious that the Wang family wanted to use a little beauty to further strengthen their relationship with Mo Zibu.

But even though the little beauty just now was very pretty, Mo Zibu couldn't choose her, at least not now.

Because in order to unite the powerful Siamese Teochew people in Southeast Asia, relying on force alone is not enough. The best way is for Mo Zibu to marry a daughter of a big Siamese Teochew family.

The best candidate is naturally the daughter of Taksin of Thonburi, who is still called Zheng Guoying.

It seems that Zheng Guoying's eldest daughter is now eleven years old, and she can get married in a few years.

Even though Zheng Guoying himself is of mixed Tang-Siamese descent, his current wife is also of mixed Tang-Siamese descent, and his daughter is even more mixed, she probably won't be very pretty. But it doesn't matter, Mo Zibu can accept anything.

Even if he couldn't marry Zheng Guoying's daughter, he should marry the daughter of the second largest family, the Wu family.

Even marrying the thirteen-year-old daughter of his sworn brother Wei Rikun or his niece would be better than marrying the daughter of the Wang family.

Because the Wang family is the Mingxiang people among the Chaozhou people, they have lost their usefulness in uniting with the new Chaozhou people.

In this case, it is actually a good choice to simply say that you have never seen it and save face for both parties.

But Mo Zibu actually didn't know that Wang Chunfa had five sons and three daughters, among whom the second daughter died young. The third daughter just now was also his youngest daughter, and his most beloved daughter.

In the original history, Wang Chunfa most likely brought disaster upon himself, but the Wang family was not completely destroyed.

A few years later, Taksin helped the Wang family take back Nakhon Si Alam, and the remaining members of the Wang family presented their daughter to Taksin.

This girl named Wang Yingzhuan eventually became one of Taksin's most beloved concubines and gave birth to two sons for him.

One of them returned to Nakhon Si Thammarat around 1801 in the early th century and became a Phraya, similar to a vassal.

But it was already the Chakri Dynasty at that time, and Rama I only had a few years left to live.

The fact that Taksin's son was able to return to Nakhon Si Thammarat was probably a deal reached after negotiations between the Teochew people of Siam and the royal Chakri family.

Since then, most of the Chaozhou clans in Siam have completed the unification of Tang and Siam and become Siamese.

In order to reassure the Chakri family, many people even gave up their original family genealogy and stopped giving their descendants Chinese names.

The same goes for Taksin's son, who only left behind a Siamese name, Nakhon Si Alam. Wang Yingzhuan was also recorded as Zhao Yingzhuan.

As for the Wang family who had long ago cut off their ancestral roots and the large number of Chinese who arrived in Siam before the Qing Dynasty, they were either only recorded in Siamese style or disappeared completely.

The name Nai Nakorn was found in the records of the British East India Company. The British regarded Nakhon Si Thammarat as an independent kingdom and believed that Nai Nakorn was the king of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

. . . .

A few days later, Wang Runzhi must have known Mo Zibu's choice. He suddenly felt a little depressed and quite worried.

Mo Zibu immediately discovered this situation and took the initiative to visit Wang Runzhi.

The Luokun royal family is not particularly useful, but it is still very useful for Mo Zibu to build his character.

The first thing Mo Zibu did when he met Wang Runzhi was that he was ready to invite Wu Rang to Luokun.

Wang Runzhi thought for a moment and shook his head gently. "Longtou, Songkhla is three hundred miles away from Nakhon Si Thammarat. It will take two or three days to get there. Wu Rang won't come."

Wang Runzhi actually wanted to say that Wu Rang would not dare to come after doing such a thing this time.

What did Wu Rang do? It's very simple. Pattani and Ali Tianfang Temple are separated by Songkhla, and there was no tacit consent from Wu Rang, or even any matchmaking.

It was impossible for Bahadur of the Patani Sultanate to easily hand over two hundred muskets to Ziad Ali.

Even if Wu Rang was an innocent person and did nothing, he must have known that Ziad Ali had gone to see the Sultan of Pattani, and that both sides had a common conspiracy against Nakhon Si Alam.

This is the current situation of the Chinese in Southeast Asia. None of them is easy to deal with. They are all ruthless people who are used to seeing the situation. At the same time, they are short-sighted and like to engage in intrigue.

Sometimes they cooperated to defeat the natives, but more often they took advantage of the infighting among the natives.

It is difficult to say how much fault Wu Rang has at this time. After all, it was the Luokun Wang family who initiated all this.

But Mo Zibu didn't like this situation very much, so he needed to use this incident to call Wu Rang to Luo Kun so that the two families could reach a reconciliation and stop fighting among themselves.

"Wu Rang will come because he has taken action before."

Mo Zibu said with certainty that he believed Wu Rang was a smart man, otherwise Mo Zibu's more than a thousand soldiers and nine warships would not be easy to deal with.
