Chapter 94 Signing of the Treaty of Ayutthaya

() The first unequal treaty in history came out!Ask for clicks, recommendations, collections, evaluations, and rewards!

Seeing the troops of the South China Army marching across the Hebei River, King Songtan and his party, who were observing the movement from the top of the city, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"King!" Zheng Zhao, the neutral Chinese minister who analyzed the pros and cons for King Song Tan, knelt down and kowtowed, "Congratulations to my king, good fortune is turned from bad luck to good luck, and good luck comes from death. Just now, my minister went to the camp of the South Central Army to pay the seal , the battalion officer of the Guards Battalion, General Zheng Anhua, said that this time, he came here to support the northern troops going south and return to the division. Soon they will pass through Ayutthaya. I hope my king will not panic. The soldiers will not enter the city, but just pass by. I also hope that my Great Siam will sign a peace treaty as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

King Song Tan didn't answer Zheng Zhao's request for a brief moment, but he was a little dazed looking at the troops heading far north.

"Have any of you counted the artillery fire numbers of the Chinese army?"

Suddenly, King Song Tan said such a sentence.Immediately, all the civil and military officials on the top of the city seemed to be in a cloud of five miles.However, a military officer on the top of the city echoed in a low voice, "The Ming army has a total of 230 large and small artillery. Compared with the Dutch and Portuguese six-pounders, the eight-pounders are even worse."

"Hiss!" The people in the city couldn't help but collectively gasped. If so many artillery numbers were placed under the city and bombarded day and night, in just a few days, the city walls of the big city would cease to exist.

The city wall is no longer there, can the people in the city still have one?My family's wealth, life, and children's treasures have all become the spoils of the Ming army!Thinking of this, the ministers of the peace faction and the neutral faction were all rejoicing, and secretly admired their vision.Only those ministers of the main combat faction, while secretly lucky, are still worried.

"I, Wang Yingming! Resolved a catastrophe of swords and soldiers for my great Siam! It is the reincarnation of my Bodhisattva under the Buddha's throne!" Those with quick-witted eyes knelt down and kowtowed.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

After being flattered by everyone for a long time, King Songtan said proudly, "You will know at this time why you agreed to the peace terms of the South China Army? Zheng Aiqing, you quickly revise a letter and order Zha Lun Peng quickly signed the terms of peace with the Ming people. Then, he ordered him to find a way in Hejing to test whether those cannons can be sold to our country."

"My lord, I'll do it right away. It's just that our country seems to be able to forge its own cannons, but why would it purchase the cannons of the South China Army?"

Speaking of this, King Songtan's face immediately turned black, "It's not Woluo Weng! It was said in the military newspaper that the Ming people's artillery fire was sharp and violent, so they lost in one battle. I saw it today, and it is true."

"My lord, please kill Woluo Weng to thank the world!" Some people saw the king's expressionless face when he mentioned the perpetrator of this war, Woluo Weng, and they naturally figured out what he wanted and proposed to punish the chief culprit.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

. . . . . .

A month later, in Ha Tinh, after passing by Chen Lun, oh, Charon Phong, he persistently begged and begged to be lazy and playful, and finally, in the capacity of the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Minister of the Siamese King Songtan, he made a statement on the text of the peace talks. Sign and draw.

The main contents are as follows:

Because the King of Siam, the President of the Ming Dynasty's South China Army, the Ma President and the supervisor of Qian, Liang and Civil Affairs, wanted to explain the recent discord and stop provocations, and agreed to establish a permanent peace treaty.Therefore, the King of Siam specially sent Jun Order to act cheaply, Minister Charunphong; the Ming Dynasty Southern Central Army President Ma supervised the administration of money and food, and the civil affairs special envoy An Tianhong, the owner of Nanzhongli House; It is good to compare the orders of full power with each other, even if each article is proposed, it is displayed on the left:

[-]. Anyone who is a member of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the military or civilians in Nanzhong or other places, who is currently banned in various places under the jurisdiction of Siam, will be released immediately with the permission of the King of Siam.

[-]. Anyone who is a Siamese person who previously lived in the city occupied by the Ming Nanzhong people, or who has contacts with the Daming Nanzhong people, or who follows and waits for the Daming Nanzhong officials, will be under the authority of the King of Siam. Send down the decree, transcribe the whole country, grant complete immunity; and all Siamese, who were imprisoned and imprisoned for the Ming Nanzhong affairs, will also be released with grace.

[-]. In the second article above, it is stated that five places, such as Linchaban, where the merchants and residents in the south of the Ming Dynasty lived and traded, should pay import and export goods taxes and rates. It is advisable to discuss rules and regulations in an impartial manner, and the Ministry should issue a notice so that The merchants of Daming Nanzhong paid according to the regulations; now it is also agreed that after the goods of Daming Nanzhong are taxed according to the regulations in a certain port, they are allowed to be transported by Siamese merchants all over the whole country of Siam, and the customs on the way are not allowed to increase the tax regulations. There are several valuation rules, and tax increases for every tael are not excessive.

30. Once the king of Siam approves the implementation of the peace treaty, and pays the [-] taels of silver approved at this time, the soldiers of the Southern China Navy of the Ming Dynasty immediately withdraw from the sea in Ayutthaya, Bashu (Bashu in Thailand) and other places, and do not leave Block the trade of merchants from all over Siam.It will also give way to Ratchaburi, Pattaya and other places.Only Wuwen Lat, Chatthani, Siseju Mansion, and Li Yi Mansion are still under the command of Daming Nanzhong Sergeant for the time being; and all the discussed funds have been paid in full, and all the previously discussed seaports have been opened for Daming Nanzhong people After the opening of trade, the sergeants who will be stationed in the second office will withdraw and no longer occupy it.

[-]. On the day when the treaty was signed, the Great Ming Southern Central Dispute Rebellion Army President Ma and Superintendent Qian Liang Minzheng formed an alliance with Siam to discuss Chenla together.The obtained land of Chenla is bounded by the Biandan Mountains. The east of Biandan Mountain belongs to the official office of the President of the Ming Dynasty South Central Dispute Army Ma, and the west of Biandan Mountain belongs to Siam. , the Managa Peninsula, Jinzhou Island, Borneo and other places are the territory of the Daming Old Port Xuanweishi Division, which is a sacred and inviolable part of the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Thirteen. The above items are all related to the negotiation and offer. After the envoys of both sides report to the king of Siam, the president of the Ming Dynasty Southern and Central Army, President Ma and the supervisor of Qian, Liang and Minzheng respectively, they will meet each other as soon as possible, so that The two sides hold one volume to keep their promises; however, the two sides are far away from each other and cannot come together once, so another two volumes are written. The plenipotentiary envoys assigned by the Civil Affairs Commission each made a decision for their masters, sealed with the customs seal letter, and each held a book as evidence, so that it will be done properly in accordance with the terms of the peace treaty.To the Peacemaker.

In the fifth year of Ming Dynasty, Yi Chou, in March, Wangri, went to Dacheng to the south of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the rebels. President Ma, the officer and supervisor of Qian Liang, was on board the ship of Civil Affairs Victory.

Signed by both parties:

The king of Siam sent Jun Ling to act cheaply, and the Minister Charon Phong.

Daming Nanzhong Disputes All Routes Army President Ma Supervises and Manages Qian Liang Civil Affairs Special Envoy Envoy Nanzhong Li Housekeeper An Tianhong.

(However, according to people’s secrets hundreds of years later, the lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River, this piece of rice paradise, was paid by the Siamese authorities at the price of one hundred taels of gold per hundred miles to offset the war reparations. guys!)

(This is not the most terrible thing. It was also hundreds of years later that someone raised the issue of the historical ownership of the Malaca, Jinzhou Island, and Borneo regions. The Chinese government very frankly took out the historical documents of that year. "Look, this was admitted by the local government of Siam at that time! You can also come up with other evidence!")

In addition to the treaty, people also discovered some shady things: for example, the South China Army sold various weapons and the Kingdom of Siam to resist the invasion of the Burmese in the north.The first batch of purchased ten-door large-scale Flang machines will be delivered immediately after signing the contract.How about the price? It's not expensive. A large Frang machine weighing five hundred catties only costs 8000 taels of silver.And package after-sales service, maintenance, personnel training and so on.

. . . . . .

On the same day, Wo Luoweng was beheaded in Dacheng, and his family property became an official.A total of 70 taels of silver and [-] taels of gold were obtained.Some jewelry, ivory, etc.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.We pull the camera back to that day.

"My lord, are we really not going to fight Dacheng anymore?"

While riding horses and whips to urge the troops to march, Zheng Anhua, the former battalion officer of the Guards Battalion, pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, and asked Li Shouhan in the caravan full of doubts for instructions.

Shou Han waved his hand, signaling Mo Jin who was next to the car to stop the car, jumped out of the car, and stretched his waist and legs on the side of the road. The road conditions of this era are simply speechless.Although the march was in a plain area, the road was bumpy, which made the guard's waist sore and back ache. <'s sunny enthusiasm and the dust on the long-distance march made his face covered with mud, but his mental state was still full, and his steps were still vigorous.

Although the Nanzhong Army has strict military discipline, it only prohibits loud noises during the march, and does not prohibit low-pitched conversations. From time to time, there are bursts of cheerful laughter from the queue.

"Brothers, sing a song!"

Shou Han waved the long knife in his hand.

"The pace must be steady, the artillery standard is high, the cavalry is brave when charging the enemy, and the guards must be strong. The infantry, the horse speed, the artillery are fierce, the force is strong, the country is strong, and it is really an honor! I urge all soldiers to learn from themselves. The marksmanship is well practiced, and the army is so powerful that outsiders are shocked; the second is to persuade and show loyalty. Return to Japan in triumph, and eat pots of milk to comfort the army..."

"March, march, the mountain road is the most rugged..."

Waves of singing came and went in the team.Get rid of people's fatigue.

It is not Shou Han's invention to compose and sing about the affairs of the generals, and he does not know whose patent it is, but he just uses it for doctrine.This is much easier for those minority soldiers who are slow to speak Chinese characters and can't even speak Chinese well.

When recruits join the army, there are "Songs for Recruits", "Songs for Eating", "Songs for Wake-up" when they wake up, "Songs for Sleeping" when they go to bed at night, and "Songs for Sportsmanship", "Songs for Shooting", and "Songs for Saving Bullets" when they are training. , The tactical requirements include "Song of Using Terrain", "Song of Fortification", "Song of Night Battle", "Song of Night Attack" and so on.

Seeing the troops striding northward amidst the heroic and neat singing, Shou Han turned his head and asked Zheng Anhua, "What did you say? Why didn't you hit Dacheng? Why did I fight Dacheng?" Puzzled expression.

"Could you count how many baggage carts we have brought to Siam? What are they loaded on? Also, why are you in such a hurry to march? Sixty miles a day?"

"Use your brain!" Shou Han bluntly knocked Zheng Anhua's helmet with the whip in his hand.

"Use your brain?" Zheng Anhua simply took off his helmet, and let the wind blow his hair, evaporating the hot sweat in his hair.While letting the wind blow his wet hair, he looked at the mighty marching team with some boredom.

Behind the queue of the front guard battalion are the vehicles of the supply battalion.The Guard Front Battalion is the elite of the combat troops, and the troops are neat and serious, while the supply battalion is full of vehicles and horses.If the fighting force is a flood dragon that swallows the sky and the earth, then the supply battalion is the boundless sea of ​​clouds surrounding the five-clawed golden dragon.
