"Then tell me, how do you think it should be fought?" His colleagues joked aside.

"If I were the commander of the former enemy, in the role of General Wang Bao and General Zhang Xiaohu, I would make full use of the terrain of Ayutthaya. This city was built on an island where three rivers converge, and our navy can go upstream , anchored at the widest part of the river, blocked the river with artillery fire, and prevented foreign aid from entering the city."

"At the same time, the navy and the soldiers on the land joined together to support each other with artillery fire, and built a pontoon bridge at the narrowest part of the river in order to establish a foothold under the big city. .”

"Besides, when the city was in its heyday, it was also known as a million inhabitants. I blocked the passage to the outside world. There was no food to grow in the city. There was no meat, fish and shrimp in the courtyard. There was no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on the streets. It was only necessary to burn firewood. It is also a way to demolish the house and be trapped for a long time.”

. . . . .

Suddenly, all kinds of ideas emerged one after another, which made Chen Lun a little dizzy. He had to admit that the students of these political affairs schools were different from ordinary paper talkers. They even took climate, logistics and morale into consideration.After some analysis by these people, it seems that the fall of Ayutthaya is just around the corner.

"Ka Ka Ka!" A muffled voice came from afar, approaching from far away, not loud, but full of strength and momentum.

"It's coming! It's coming!" There were waves of rustling downstairs.

It was the ten thousand soldiers who came over.

These 1 people are the immigrants who entered Ha Tinh three months ago and received training as strong men, as well as the original population who have reached adult age, and less than [-]% of them are native youths.

The team is based on a battalion, each battalion has a size of a thousand people, and each battalion is divided into ten square formations.In action, more than a hundred phalanxes stretched for several miles.

In front of each phalanx, the flag bearers raised high the battalion flag to which the department belonged, followed by dozens of extremely sturdy pikemen as guards.Behind the guards, there were dozens of flags, trumpeters, drummers and the like, clapping the drums and trumpets.

Each of the small square formations after that is based on a hundred people, ten people form a row, and ten rows form a square formation.Either holding a spear, or carrying a musket on the shoulder, or wearing a four-foot long knife at the waist, and holding a huge shield made of thick wood and covered with iron.Chen Lun took a rough look and found that the ratio of Musketeers to Pikemen and Sword and Shield Soldiers was between [-]%, [-]%, and [-]%.

What is rare is that with the sound of the horn, it seems that all the soldiers stepped out with one foot at the same time, followed by the other foot at the same time, and except for the hands holding the shield, spear, and gun, the other The swing of the hand is also a frequency and an amplitude.The sound of rubbing arms against clothing and armor, and the sound of footsteps made Chen Lun tremble all over.

"This is the Asura evil spirit!"

A devotee who believed in Buddhism uttered this sentence with trembling lips, and then said nothing more.

What he said made Chen Lun think so. If it wasn't for the magic method, then what method did the Nanzhong Army use to train them to be so elite?And I heard from others that it was only a short period of three months?It must be a witchcraft!

"This is beyond the reach of human beings!" He looked up to the sky and sighed, "My lord! Your fate! Doom!"

After the procession was over, the whole street returned to its usual hustle and bustle, and Chen Lun didn't say a word either.

"My lord, my lord!" After people finished the casserole porridge filled with ribs, hen, scallops, and crabs, there was no movement from Chen Lun. "Should we also go back to the post?"

"No! Tell those bearers! Take me to the ceremony room! I want to continue to negotiate a peace agreement with Mr. An!"

In the eyes of the servants of the general's mansion, the three-entry courtyard of Dongkuayuan, the household building, military building, workshop, battalion office, and the political affairs hall responsible for training the chief of staff are like a well-designed and powerful war machine. .

Adhering to the will of the general, the Bingfang made strategic deployments and put forward the demand for weapons, money and food. The Battalion Office was responsible for mobilizing troops and horses.Then the Zhengshitang sent batches of security chiefs who had undergone systematic training to various places to take charge of the work. It didn't take long for the area that was developed with all its heart to lay the mark of the General's Mansion.

A series of orders were issued from here, and batches of money, food and military equipment were allocated to various places according to the instructions here, and became the food in the belly of the children who were fighting in the former enemy, the armor on their bodies, and the weapons in their hands. of fertile land.

Now that another great victory has been achieved, it can be seen that a large area of ​​Siam's land will also belong to the banner of the General's Mansion.

Huang Yishan and Yanlong, who were in charge of reporting the victory, did not show off their might on the street at this moment.The two put the eight-petal hat and iron pointed helmet on the ground, lowered their heads, and knelt down in front of the guard.

"Get up! You are heroes, and you are escorting the captured military horses. You have worked hard all the way."

Shou Han comforted the two brave men of the Phoenix Battalion with gentle words.

"You are all good, two hundred riders dared to attack the tens of thousands of Siamese troops. The first move laid the foundation for the victory of the army." Shou Han began to enumerate Huang Yishan and Yanlong's military exploits, "Total Cut off more than [-] heads, you two are indeed the most powerful fighters in our Nanzhong Army."

The two of them couldn't help grinning and smirking when they heard the protagonist talk about their proud works like a few treasures. They are just officers at the level of commanding a team, although they are the guards of the Phoenix Battalion. But after all, the official is humble and the position is small.The man in front of him is the supreme commander of the South Central Army with tens of thousands of troops and millions of people. To hear words of praise from him is more exciting than any reward.

"I have also made arrangements for the horses you two escorted this time. Wang Bao praised you two in the military newspaper, saying that you have the quality of cavalry generals. In this way, your cavalry team in Nanzhong will also start to form. Are you interested in going to Xialiao to raise horses and train the cavalry at the same time?"

"My lord's promotion, my subordinates are naturally very willing, but General Wang Bao is currently in front of the enemy, and he is seriously ill, I will leave now..." Yan Long was not as complicated as Huang Yishan, when he heard Huang Yishan say Clearing up his inner worries, he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"It's a nuisance! If you are transferred, I will transfer a whistler from the Guards Battalion to the Phoenix Battalion, and then make a letter to expand the Guards of the Phoenix Battalion into the Phoenix Battalion Guards. In this way, your old The troops, not only will not be damaged in strength, on the contrary, they will be strengthened. What do you two think?"

Promoted two meritorious officers and men, and began to get down to business.

Yanlong took out a key from his underwear with great difficulty, while Huang Yishan took off his armor and took off a wooden box from his chest, and asked Yanlong and Chen Tianhua, the director of the battalion office, to inspect the keys on the wooden box. Only then did he open the wooden box and take out Wang Bao's military newspaper inside.

After reading a few pages, Shou Han waved his hands and ordered Huang Yishan and Yanlong to go outside to have a meal and rest first, and the rest stayed to discuss.The two of them naturally knew that the lord wanted to discuss military and national plans with the bosses. These things are not something people of my level can participate in.

"Wang Bao is sick! The epidemic is prevalent in the army! The conquest of Korat City was also the work of the Phoenix Battalion. Three of the ten out of the attached battalions fell ill. Almost half of the captives surrendered. This time the attack on Korat was almost All of them are from the Phoenix Battalion."

Shou Han's extremely simple words made the expressions on the faces of several important ministers change from joy to sternness immediately.

"Wouldn't that mean the northern offensive must stop?" Chen Tianhua put forward his opinion from the perspective of using troops.

"That's right, Wang Bao also said the same thing. He used his experience from hunting and gathering in the mountains and forests to say that fighting is like hunting and gathering. To win, we must find ways to obtain the largest and most prey."

This point is consistent with Shou Han's thinking. If you can't kill a group of prey, you should get as much as possible.In other words, it is the maximization of interests.

"My lord, the Siamese envoys have been pestering Mr. An these past few days. The terms that have been clarified are as follows."

Siam handed over the seals of the royal family and officials at all levels, and went to the camp to get the seals again.Siam is willing to send royal beauties or daughters of officials and nobles to Nanzhong for marriage.I am willing to donate shipbuilding timber every year, agree to Nanzhong to set up a card at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River to collect taxes, and agree to exempt all kinds of goods from Nanzhong when they enter Siam.

"Right now, the entanglement is that the northern region occupied by Wang Bao is too important and must be returned to Siam. This is the first. The amount of compensation is too huge, and the Siamese king can't afford so much gold and silver. The second is The lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River belong to me, and Siam also has some concerns, worrying that this place is too close to the big city, and it means that others can’t sleep soundly on the side of the couch. This is the third.”

"First, the amount of indemnity cannot be reduced. However, a compromise can be adopted, such as paying in installments, or using Siam's forests, mines, and land as mortgages. He, the King of Siam, can mortgage the land in the north to the Han Yuan Company! Let Han The Yuan Company will pay his military salary for him. The two companies will discuss the terms and how many years the mortgage period will be. Second, I want his lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River, and I don’t want it in vain. Luo. So that they can promote Buddhism."

Shou Han's understatement made all the people present dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Can you still do this?

My lord, can you still add no restraint?

Take other people's things in exchange for other people's land?

Use other people's land as a pawn to borrow money from your own business as compensation for military expenses?

"Thirdly, they must admit that the Malay Peninsula, all the way to the land of Malacca, is the land of our Daming Old Port Xuanweishi, and it is a sacred and inseparable part of our Ming territory since ancient times."

"During the mortgage period in the northern region, their troops can be stationed in the northern part, but the guards of my Hanyuan firm also have the right to supervise and manage this region."

"Our residents in Nanzhong have the right to conduct business, trade, mining, logging and other business activities in various parts of Siam. During this process, they enjoy the treatment of Siamese nobles. Siam shall not collect taxes on all business income."

"In order to reflect the magnanimity of our great country, we will sell all kinds of items in our south to Siam at a price that is [-]% lower than the market price. Help them defend their territory from Burmese human intrusion."

"In addition to using the northern region as collateral, in order to ensure that our interests are not lost, we require the supervision of Siam's foreign trade, financial system, and taxation system."

"In order to reflect the grace of our kingdom to Siam, we will protect the ruling status of the Siamese royal family. If there are internal officials, power ministers, or external enemies who try to change the rule of the Siamese royal family, that is something we cannot tolerate Yes. We will send troops to restore the orthodox order in Siam!"

. . . . . .

Shou Han said whatever came to his mind, trying his best to recall the essence of the various unequal treaties in his mind, and he heard sparks of fanaticism in the eyes of everyone present. Sounding?It seems that the lord not only has a deep understanding of the ways of the Mo family, but also has a deep understanding of the thick and dark techniques of the Legalists and Strategists!

However, when An Tianhong sorted out Shou Han's intentions and requirements, and said it in parallel words, Chen Lun's face turned red and turned pale, sometimes excited and inexplicably depressed, sometimes dejected.

"Ensure our Siamese rule and help us defend against northern aggression? That's good!"

"The amount of compensation cannot be reduced, but it can be paid in installments and the interest calculated. This? You can report the situation to the king. Please make a decision."

"Sell all kinds of goods in Nanzhong to Siam at a low price, but you are not allowed to collect taxes? This is a wishful thing!"

Whether this is a bitter medicine or arsenic wrapped in honey, Chen Lun dare not think about it, he can only continue to discuss some technical details with An Tianhong according to his own power, such as selecting the daughter of the clan or The daughters of princes and ministers, or beauties selected by the people and sent to Ha Tinh Mansion.

On the other hand, Chen Lun sent a messenger to Dacheng on a ship transporting medicine to the front line to report everything here to King Songtan.And wrote a detailed memorial, which analyzed the pros and cons of the various conditions proposed by the South China Army one by one, and put forward his own views.

"Chalun Pongneng! Lose power and humiliate the country!"

In any regime, there are such contradictions and differences. There are so-called war factions, peace advocates, and neutral factions, and Siam is no exception.

"You guys are people who are familiar with foreign countries, and they want to betray the master and seek glory!"

"Am I trying to communicate with foreign countries, betraying the country and seeking glory? I would say that you are talking about harming the country and harming the country and the people!"

"People from the north and the south, officials and defeated soldiers flocked into the big city one after another. How can these people spread their wings and fly like birds hit by thunderstorms?"

"This generation's homeland has been destroyed, it is the time to seek war and revenge, and the people's hearts are available. The Nanzhong bandits have traveled thousands of miles, and they are already exhausted. They will report carefully. The epidemic in the army is prevalent, and it is time for our army to fight back! "

An endless quarrel broke out in the courtroom.It was not King Song Tan's authority that finally ended such a quarrel, but a piece of news.

"Report!"

"There is an urgent military situation!"

"Talk! What is an emergency military situation?!"

"Forty miles to the north of Dacheng, there is a ranger of the South China Army on horseback. It seems to be suspected of spying on our army's defense."

"On the South Road of Dacheng, there is a gunboat of the South China Army! Now they are arresting the peasants in the four townships, and they are going to pull the rope and drag them across the shallows to reach the city of Dacheng! In addition, there seems to be a large fleet behind the gunboat, covering the sky and covering the sun. There are countless people on board. Horse guns!"

Immediately, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured under the scorching oil pan. Immediately, the court hall was a scene of tranquility and harmony. Come.But the people of the Lord and Peace are a bit arrogant, "Look! I advocate that you can't fight, you can't fight! There is no future!"

But the neutrals who had been silent just now started to take action.

"The Chao Phraya River has never been sailed by a large ship from the Ming Dynasty. Even the lucky boats that come and go for trade seem to be far inferior to the large ships of the South China Army. How did they enter this waters?"

"Reporting to my lord, according to the reports of the soldiers on the fort, it seems that there are English ships leading the water for them in front of the fleet! The troops who landed have the banner of the Nanzhong Army Guards Battalion"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present fell silent. The English, Dutch, and Portuguese were all trading in Siam and Ayutthaya.This generation of red-haired barbarians are good at handling boats, and they are probably more familiar with the Chao Phraya River and the waters around Ayutthaya than the locals in Siam.

The Guards Battalion is said to be the elite of the Nanzhong Army. When they forcibly crossed the Lingjiang River that day, they marched against the artillery fire of the Ruan Family Army, and their fighting strength was the most fierce.These guys have come all the way from Annan Sea, so when it comes to me, Siam, it’s not possible to go to the big city to visit the mountains and rivers? !

The attitudes of the pro-war camp and the pro-peace camp were immediately like two ends of a seesaw, one was extremely high, and the other was extremely low.

"King! The army of the Celestial Dynasty is already approaching the city, and it is said that the preservation of the Siamese royal family only requires some property such as military pay and rewards. The land in the north is desolate and wild, and it can be mortgaged to the Han businessmen in exchange for money. , temporarily support the past to alleviate the shortage of the national treasury. As for the repayment afterwards, we only need to add some taxes to those untouchables. Besides, the Chinese army also said that they are willing to start trade with us and sell us weapons and guns Gunpowder, help us resist the Burmese in the north. In my humble opinion, I should quickly send people out of the city to contact the Chinese army and tell them that we are willing to accept all the terms. Now we are counting the treasury and choosing beauties. Please don’t misunderstand and don’t attack The city is." The main peace faction persuaded King Songtan to accept the peace terms from various angles.

"Your Majesty! Your subjects, like Charunpon, are both Chinese, and they all have family members who are engaged in business affairs. Let's analyze the pros and cons from the perspective of a businessman." The original neutral faction, on the other hand, is still in this complex situation where soldiers are approaching the city. In this case, King Song Tan analyzed the situation.

"The minister carefully studied the terms of peace sent by Charen Phong. There are three major parts, power, money, and trade. Power, the so-called Chinese enjoy the same rights as our nobles. This is false. Most Chinese in Siam We are doing well. Businessmen and officials abound. Even if there is no such clause, almost all of them are much better than those untouchables. As for the land in the north and the south, the Korat Province in the north is still my Siamese. It is only temporarily mortgaged. The land in the south is all swamps and tidal flats. After a flood, it will become a country. "

(Note: During this period, Siam also implemented a strict hierarchy.

"As for money, if the army attacks the city and the city is destroyed, all the children's treasures will naturally belong to the Nanzhong Army. However, the terms of the peace negotiation first stated that we will protect my royal family for thousands of years. I just want some The compensation and the territory are also worth it.”

"The most important thing is commerce. In the family of my ministers, there are quite a few children who have business dealings with Nanzhong. The land is booming in industry and commerce. There are salt, sugar, cloth, porcelain, wine, meat, oil, etc., and Jiuzhuan steel production. Everything is big profit. , if according to the agreement and terms, sell it to us at [-]% lower than the market price, even if you resell it to merchants from various countries in Thailand and Western countries, it will also be of great benefit!"

"So, in Yichen's opinion, what the South China Army wants is not for nothing, only some gold and silver are real things. Everything else is just a dispute over etiquette. As for admitting that those lands belong to the Ming Kingdom, just admit it. As long as I am Siamese..."

"Report! According to the report! The Southern Central Army hired peasants at a high price of one catty of salt for three days. Thousands of people have gone there. Countless artillery, food, grass, and transport vehicles have been unloaded from the ships, meandering endlessly, and heading north! "

The military newspapers at the outposts came in, and the news one after another shocked all the princes in the court dizzy.

"King!" Whether it is the main combat faction or the neutral faction of the main peace faction, they all set their sights on King Song Tan sitting on the golden throne.

After a while, a weak voice floated down from the throne.

"Even a great man like the Black Emperor Nalaxuan has surrendered to Burma, let alone us and the Celestial Dynasty? Just now what Mr. Zheng said is right, the Celestial Dynasty's army did not come here to destroy Siam, just like a strict father teaching his youngest son. A promise to help us Siam against the Burmese, so we can rest easy!"

"Pass the decree, seal the seals everywhere, and send them to the camp of the Celestial Dynasty."

"Pass the decree, count the treasuries of various places, and prepare to reward the army of the Celestial Dynasty."

"The decree is passed, and the daughters of the princesses and princes and ministers will make a list for selection."

"Decree, hang a white flag above the city head and open the city gate."
