Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 201 Siam's Fragrant Rice Raises People! (seeking subscription)

On January [-], the second year of Shenwu, on the vast plain outside Ayutthaya City, the capital of the Siamese Ayutthaya Dynasty.

About [-] guards, [-] Mataram servants, and [-] Aceh servants ([-] were returned to the female sultan of Aceh) gathered together.

The Johor garrison is still training, so it cannot be temporarily unable to participate in the battle.

A huge army surrounded this city known as eternal victory.

Holding Princess Emira in his arms, Zhu Kezang withdrew his hand reluctantly.

I have to say, it feels good.

Ming's army landed from Bangkok by boat, and the city of Ayutthaya is just north of Bangkok.

Zhu Kezang, who had just pulled out his hand, carefully observed the capital of the Ayutthaya Dynasty with a telescope.

The scale of the capital is still very large. Although it cannot be compared with the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is more magnificent than the average city of the Ming Dynasty.

Its city wall is actually made of hard marble, which is two or three feet high, and it is considered a very majestic city wall in Southeast Asia.

In addition, when choosing the location of this king's capital, it was chosen to be on a large island where three rivers converged. It was surrounded by water on three sides, and only one side was connected to the land. When defending, it only needed to defend the land side.

"No wonder they dare to call themselves the City of Eternal Victory!"

Ayutthaya means eternal victory in Sanskrit.

Putting down the binoculars, Zhu Kezang couldn't help shaking his head.

In the era of cold weapons, this kind of city is the most difficult to chew down.Surrounded by water on three sides, it means that you only need to concentrate on one side.

Coupled with this hard and tall city wall, it would take heavy casualties to defeat it in the cold weapon era.

Of course, this eternally victorious city would be broken by the Toungoo people from the north in 1767, and the Ayutthaya dynasty would be declared to be destroyed.

After the invention of gunpowder, no matter how powerful the city wall is, it will sometimes be breached.

"Your Majesty, they are just bragging. They are vulnerable to the Polu Cannon and the demolition team."

Pan Aqiang beside Zhu Kezang said indifferently.

As a member of the First Battalion of the First Town, he did have the capital to say so.

When he was the battalion commander of the first battalion, how many bastions that Westerners were proud of were captured by the demolition team he led.

It can be said that Ah Qiang is not afraid of such a difficult siege battle.

"We still have to find a way to force them to come out to surrender and negotiate. Da Ming didn't come to snatch their land. He just came here to teach them a lesson. Just leave a deep impression on them." Zhu Kezang said with a smile .

In fact, Ming did not expect to win Siam in one fell swoop, because Siam was too big, so Zhu Kezang chose the tactic of raiding the capital instead of fighting all the way from the Johor Peninsula step by step.

With the concept of tributary and humanism, as long as you become a vassal of Ming Dynasty, you can do whatever you want at that time, and there is no need to spend a lot of materials to take all of Siam.

Big deal, when the time is right, it will be annexed into Siam Province!

As for the treaty of the alliance under the city, Zhu Kezang had already thought about it before he came.

First of all, the compensation of 500 million to 1000 million taels of silver can be paid in installments, up to five years, but interest must be paid.

The second is to cede the land of Ayutthaya in the Johor Peninsula to Daming, because the Johor Kingdom was directly annexed by Daming, so the land of Johor Peninsula must be allocated to Daming.

Zhu Kezang is a local control!

There is one thing to say, the current territory of Xin Daming is too fragmented, it is simply too ugly, Zhu Kezang himself can't stand it anymore, it's all here and there.

So just take down the Indochina Peninsula!
At that time, directly poke the chrysanthemum of the Qing Dynasty.

The advantage of conquering the Indochina Peninsula is not only that it can open the back door of the Qing Dynasty, but more importantly, it is rich in resources and is a huge raw material and agricultural base.

Siamese fragrant rice nourishes people!
Northeast Wuchang rice and Siamese fragrant rice are the most delicious rice in Zhu Kezang's memory.

With the Indochina Peninsula, the homeland of Ming Dynasty can concentrate on developing industry in the future!
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the area of ​​cultivated land in the south of the Yangtze River, which is most suitable for farming, has been decreasing year by year. Other places such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu are also not suitable for large-scale and mechanized agricultural production due to various reasons, and can only maintain a small-scale agricultural economy at best.

Obviously, Daming needs more high-quality arable land.

Therefore, the rich and fertile Siam is the territory that Ming must control. Only by allowing Siam to diversify can Da Ming develop industrialization with peace of mind!
Far away, that's all for later. The most important point in the vassal state treaty is that Ayutthaya will provide [-] servants to fight with Daming. A small amount of core equipment.

"dong dong"

Suddenly there was movement in Ayutthaya City. Accompanied by the sound of drums, the huge city gate slowly opened, and a large number of Siamese troops rushed out. Among them, there was an elephant formed by huge elephants. soldier.

"Interesting, it's been a long time since I met an enemy who dared to take the initiative to attack!" Pan Aqiang was a little excited.

"It seems that they don't intend to surrender. These barbarians still have to give them a hard lesson."

Wang Xianwu was a little upset, the enemy did not surrender, but dared to take the initiative to attack, who is looking down upon.

Ayutthaya does have the capital to take the initiative to attack. In this year, Ayutthaya has a strong national power and maintains an elephant army composed of 200 elephants.

The Asian elephants in Ayutthaya are huge in size and infinite in strength. The Siamese will cover the elephants with hard and heavy armor.

The Siamese made a lot of noise, and Zhu Kezang became interested. He picked up the binoculars and saw Asian elephants wearing red and colorful colors. Several people were riding on the backs of the elephants, some were holding bows and arrows, and some were holding spears. , and even holding guns.

About [-] elephants lined up in a line, with a distance of four to five feet from each other. Behind the elephants, followed by the mighty Ayutthaya army.

Pan Aqiang visually estimated that the Siamese on the opposite side had about 20 troops. Fortunately, they made a surprise attack, otherwise it would not be a problem for Ayutthaya to gather an army of [-].

The number of troops is not as large as that of Ming Dynasty, but King Narai Prashathong of Ayutthaya wants to gamble with elephant soldiers!
On the city wall, he saw the enemy's terrifying artillery groups!

He knew clearly from the news from Nanyang that Daming's artillery was so sharp that if the enemy were allowed to attack the city, this tall and strong city might not be able to defend it.

Only by taking the initiative can there be hope!

Because it is not convenient for the elephant soldiers to export inside the city, the vast plain outside the city is the paradise for the elephant soldiers to play. As long as the elephant soldiers can rush into the formation of the Ming army, the Ayutthaya Kingdom will surely win!
The Ayutthaya soldiers thought the same way. They screamed and followed behind the elephant soldiers, shouting and charging.

Feeling the majestic momentum of thousands of troops, Nalai Bashatong was full of complacency, as if victory was just around the corner.

"Use the secret weapon and send these cuties to heaven!"
