Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1207 Peerless Shuangjiao ([-])
Cambodia, the capital of Phnom Penh, the Grand Palace of the Bay of Four Arms.

This royal palace is located in the east of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, facing the Four Arms Bay formed by the confluence of the Mekong River, the Tonle Sap River and the Basha River. It is a typical Khmer-style building.This royal palace was built in Phnom Penh after the King of Cambodia, Penghai Yat, moved his capital to Phnom Penh in the ninth year of Xuande.Since then, the palace has become a symbol of Phnom Penh and the center of power ruling Cambodia. It has a history of about 150 years.

Like the Burmese royal palaces in Dongyu and Bago, the Four Arms Bay Grand Palace in Phnom Penh is also a wooden building, but almost all the buildings are painted with gold paint or pasted with gold foil. From a distance, the whole building looks like a piece of gold, but it is quite It has the characteristics of southern Xinjiang.

In contrast, it seems that only the original Annan Palace was not of this style, and more similar to Daming's buildings - of course, overall it is nothing more than a "miniature version" of the Forbidden City.

The Cambodian royal family has a long history. It is said that if the maternal line is included, it even surpasses Japan, which is known as the "one line for all generations", and even if only the paternal line is counted, it has a history of hundreds of years. At least in this regard, the Zhu family of Daming can be hanged. .

However, there is no special significance, because the strength of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is very poor, which can also be seen from the area of ​​the Four Arms Bay Grand Palace - this palace, known as the Grand Palace, is actually not as good as the pragmatic Beijing suburbs. The other courtyard, Jian Xinzhai, is only slightly larger than the Baiyulou building complex in Jian Xinzhai's high and pragmatic personal residential area.

Of course, the Baiyu Tower itself is an imitation of a French palace, which is hard to say.

The current king of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is Gita I. He has been on the throne for nearly ten years and is about ten years older than Zhu Yijun. He is considered a monarch in his prime.

Most monarchs in their prime are more ambitious, and Gita I is no exception.However, although he has ambitions, his ambition is not so big. He just hopes to recover the northwest territory lost by the Angkor Dynasty more than 150 years ago, "Reviving Angkor", and mix it with the name of a Cambodian sage.

It is a pity that the strength of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is so weak that it missed several opportunities.

When the King of White Elephant of Jinlou in Burma pressed Siam to fight, the Phnom Penh Dynasty thought of taking the opportunity to recover the lost ground. Unfortunately, Mang Yinglong was too domineering. It is entirely possible to defeat Siam by himself and create a hegemony.

Mang Yinglong did it, Siam expressed his surrender to him, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty could only continue to wait for the opportunity to stay in Phnom Penh.

During this period, the unfortunate incident of the invasion of the Nanzhang Kingdom (Laos) even happened. Fortunately, it was inexplicably won that time. Finally, I earned some face on the ground in southern Xinjiang, and it was not continued for a while. Beat up.

Of course, thanks to the father and son Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli, if they hadn't beaten Siam and Nanzhang at every turn, how could there be peace in the Phnom Penh Dynasty for more than ten years?
In addition, I would also like to thank the three small countries of Huaying, Zhancheng, and Nanpan for blocking the way of the Annan people going south, otherwise the northeastern border of the Phnom Penh Dynasty would be difficult to calm down.

Sadly, these conditions of peace are almost non-existent now.

The once mighty King White Elephant of the Golden Tower was easily defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and Siam, Nanzhang, and Annan all changed their owners. The south is beyond the sea, and the three sides of the east, west, and north are all surrounded by Ming people.

Mingren, to be precise, that strange organization called Jinghua.

The Phnom Penh Dynasty, which was not well-informed, only knew that Jinghua was a "business company" at first, so it didn't care at all.Later, it was discovered that this trading company seemed to be a bit huge. Not only did it have a huge horse and infantry army of at least tens of thousands of people, but there was even a huge navy, known as a thousand sails covering the sea.

And besides doing business, this "commercial company" also "runs" other industries, such as... controlling the royal family.

From the first Annan royal family to the Bago royal family, the Siam royal family, and the Nanzhang royal family after the Burma War, almost all the royal families in the southern Xinjiang were controlled by the Jinghua "business club", and even the lingering East Calling on the royal family, in fact, must live by the breath of Jinghua.

Although Geeta I can't talk about a holy monarch, in this case, he knows that his situation is very bad - who is the "Jinghua Business Company" or "Jinghua Group", it is time to fight him now.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
Geeta I didn't know if he had heard this sentence, but he still understood the truth.

Therefore, when the Siamese rebels began to contact the local defenders of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, Geeta I personally intervened, not only "vigorously" provided assistance, but also privately expressed his willingness to lead the army to respond after the other side raised troops.

Fortunately, the defender of Kampong Chhnyang was a little more sober than he was, and changed this sentence slightly, saying that "once your army has achieved initial success, the Kingdom of Cambodia will directly send troops to join forces with your army" - he emphasized a "Your army has achieved initial success".

Facts have proved that this sentence is not emphasized wrong, because without this sentence, Huang Zhiting and Liu Xin may have directly fought with the Cambodian army - the eastern Siam rebels did not achieve any "preliminary success", they were dropped from the sky. Liu Xin wiped out the old nest in one fell swoop.

For this situation, Geeta I, who learned the news, broke out in a cold sweat.

He knows the strength of the rebels in eastern Siam. There are at least [-] to [-] troops. When they guard Angkor and other places, they can even threaten Cambodia, so that Cambodians only dare to guard the border carefully, and dare not look west at all.

However, it was such an army that was strong enough in their opinion, but was annihilated by a little-known female general of the Ming army.

Geeta I was shocked and angry. He never doubted that the Ming army was strong, but the Ming army was too weird. The former deputy Annan was a female general. Is it a female general?
Do you, Daming, only have female generals, or do you look down on the southern border countries at all, thinking that you only need female generals to clean up?
Ok?
However, whether Geeta I was shocked or angry at this time, it was meaningless, because his mood soon turned into panic.

Siam, Huang Zhiting, who was privately called "Southern Xinjiang Hua Mulan" by various countries in the south of the country, actually quickly discovered the connection between Cambodia and the rebels in eastern Siam, and "To the King of Daytamaroja." Letter to Your Majesty, ask to understand."

Geeta I of course denied it, insisting that this was a trick of the Siamese rebels, in order to alienate "the friendship between Siam and Cambodia", "to make Siam tired of military use, and they will have another opportunity to take advantage of it at night." .

If there is no evidence, this "reason" makes sense. Unfortunately, Huang Zhiting holds the letter of communication between the two sides, and obviously does not agree with the nonsense of Gita I, so he will not reply, but directly dispatched six thousand troops eastward, and soon Arrive at Angkor.

The Siam-Cambodia War seems to be on the line and has to be launched.

Geeta I was terrified, and while desperately mobilizing troops and supplies to the northwest front line, he sent envoys to Dingnan City in succession to "explain the differences".

For Geeta I, it can only be delayed for a while now, after all, it is definitely impossible to fight.

The Siamese who have been suppressing Cambodia for more than 100 years are not enemies of Ming Dynasty, let alone Cambodia?Even if he is dreaming now, the best dream is just like fighting against Nanzhang before, accidentally winning a battle, inexplicably killing or capturing the enemy's chief general, and then the opponent judged the situation and felt that it was meaningless to fight him in Cambodia, so they withdrew their troops and returned. towards.

As for being a subject and paying tribute, Gita I is not rejecting it at all now - anyway, claiming a subject and paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty is the meaning of the title, and according to hundreds of years of experience, it is not a loss to be a subject to the heaven, even Most of them still earn money. Under the current situation, naturally, they cannot resist for a little face.

So Gita I went to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Buddhist temple in the Grand Palace, to worship the Buddha every day, hoping to move the Buddha and help him and Cambodia survive this catastrophe.

Perhaps it was the sincerity of Geeta I that really moved the world, and the mighty Ming army suddenly turned to the defensive inexplicably.

Geeta I was overjoyed, but also feared that the Ming army would be deceived, so while strictly ordering the front line not to relax their vigilance in the slightest, he frantically sent spies to find out the news of the Ming army.

The news of the Ming army was easier to get than he thought - the spies sent back the news in unanimous agreement, saying that all the front-line Ming army had now paid double pay, and the reason was that Huang Futong was preparing for production, and the double pay was issued for the sake of Accumulate virtue for the children who are about to come to earth.

Aha, is there such a good thing?
Geeta I was overjoyed when he heard the news.It's no joke for women to give birth to children these days. If they don't get it right, they may lose their lives.Even if the family is "Southern Xinjiang Hua Mulan", her health is extremely good, and there is no danger of giving birth to a child, but during the period of her childbirth, including the recuperation period after giving birth, it is impossible for the Ming army to launch a large-scale military operation. Have you acted?
Geeta I counted with his fingers, and in this way, he gained at least another half a year of preparation time.

Besides, after preparing for the war, in addition to preparing for the war, I can also do other things, such as finding a way to go directly to Yanjing to pay tribute, begging the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to forgive him for his previous "small mistakes", ordering Huang Zhiting to withdraw his troops, etc.

The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, there are a lot of adults, and they have always been too lazy to care about such trivial matters in their southern borders. Most of the time, they are persuaded.

If it is Siam in the past, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty may not necessarily be useful to persuade peace. After all, Siam does not think that Ming will hit him on the head, but now it is different.Tanma Luojia may not take the Daming Emperor seriously, but it is impossible for Huang Zhiting not to take the Daming Emperor seriously—she is still an official of Daming!
There is only one trouble in front of Geeta I: how can my own people go to Yanjing?
Surrounded by Siam, Nanzhang, and Annan on three sides, the land route would definitely be impossible, so the only way to go is the sea route.However, the sea route is also the world of Beijing. The Folang machine, who was rampant in the South China Sea a few years ago, has recently disappeared for some reason, and it seems that it is not easy to take this sea route.

However, it is easy to go, and it is not easy to go. Geeta I has no choice but no time to choose.

He abolished the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, and finally collected a few fast ships that could sail far away in the outer seas, and immediately sent the messengers on board. A large number of various tributes were also prepared on board.

It is a pity that he did not know that Jinghua only won a disastrous victory in the naval battle at Daweijiao. During this time, the fleet was driven back for repair. On the way, he happened to meet this pitiful Cambodian mission fleet, and then... …

Then they were captured by the way - they didn't even fire the artillery, they just surrounded it, and the envoy's fleet directly flew the white flag.

It is impossible not to surrender. The four of their small boats together are equivalent to the size of Jinghua's Lang Son, and Jinghua's entire fleet at this time has more than 30 large ships. What to fight?Sending death is not like this.

Moreover, the envoy himself is a land duck, and he doesn't understand the sea situation at all. He is [-] points less timid when he is at sea. Looking at the size of the Jinghua fleet, he can't even stand firm. Let him die for the king... No play at all.

This guy Gao Jing is also very lucky. He was afraid of being blamed by Huang Zhiting after the tragic victory in the sea battle at Daweijiao, but he did not know that Huang Zhiting was influenced by high pragmatism. He has always attached great importance to the Portuguese Navy and regarded it as a great enemy. Although he was a little unwilling to win such a victory, he didn't blame Gao Jing. Instead, he cheered up and comforted him. By the way, he asked him to carefully recall the battle and write a detailed report that was high and pragmatic.

So on the way back to Daming to repair the ship, Gao Jing has been revising and rewriting the report, for fear that there is not enough detail, which will delay the master's important affairs.As a result, the report has not been written yet, but I actually took credit for nothing and learned the most detailed first-hand information in Cambodia.

The better news is that, entrusted by Huang Zhiting, Liu Xin, the real commander-in-chief in this battle against Cambodia, is now in Gao Jing's fleet!
Huang Zhiting and Liu Xin's plan is actually not complicated at all.

The Ming army (garrison army) on the Angkor side is just a virtual army. Although the number is not mixed, it is indeed 1000 troops, but only more than [-] of them are veterans, and the rest are all recruits.The only purpose of this garrison at Angkor was to attract the attention of Cambodia and let them gather their manpower, material and financial resources to the northwest border, while Liu Xin took the Gao Jing fleet's downwind boat to Annan and led the Golden Port garrison as the main force. Annan's army took advantage of the gap from eastern Cambodia and took Phnom Penh!
Of course, at the appointed time, the garrison on the western side of Angkor will also move, bluffing, and pretending to be about to start a war, and firmly attract the main force of the Cambodian army to the northwest border, so he cannot move a step.

Now, not only can the previous plan be successfully implemented, Liu Xin has even further learned the detailed information in Cambodia. The battle has not yet started, and the outcome has basically been decided.

Four days later, Liu Xin disembarked at the Golden Port, and the envoys of King Geeta I were also escorted and detained in the Golden Port, awaiting the decision of Gao pragmatic.

The next day, Liu Xin, holding a token of high pragmatism (transferred by Huang Zhiting), gathered troops in Golden Port to select troops.
