Chapter 554: The King's Decision
Countless protesters gathered on the streets of Bangkok. These people held slogans and waved colorful flags and gathered in front of the offices of the royal palace and the zheng government. They shouted loudly, demanding the zheng government reform and expelled Chinese colonial forces. These people even cast out the portraits of Rama VII and Qiao Yu, then graffitied them freely, and then burned them to ashes to vent their dissatisfaction... Reading Bookshu Lu
More than 30,000 people participated in the parade, and more than one-third of the entrances in Bangkok participated in it. This massive parade is rare in the history of Siam. Officials at all levels, including military and police, seemed a little at a loss. Of course, some people were happy to see it, and even fueled the fire behind it.
The Chinese embassy in Siam has also become the main protest area. The entire embassy area is surrounded by dense crowds. They shouted the slogan of getting out of China and kept throwing stones and garbage into the embassy, and the situation is chaotic.
At this time, the Chinese ambassador to Siam was Hu Shi. He had a great reputation in later generations, and even far surpassed some military and political leaders. He had profound cultural attainments and was also a model for promoting new ideas.
To be honest, after Qiao Yu came to power, he advocated the principle of science and engineering, and dealt with some boastful literary masters. Some of them were even beaten to become traitors and traitors because of their collusion with foreign forces, and they were directly dealt with.
Many of these people who have been dealt with have famous masters and works in later generations, but this is just a glamorous surface. They are foreign flag bearers who corrupt China. They attack Chinese culture, slander traditions, criticize the government, admire foreign countries, and fawn on foreign countries. But they have a very famous reputation and can greatly deceive some young people. This is a very fatal point, so they can definitely be killed and not kept.
After dealing with these, Qiao Yu even understood why Qin Shihuang burned books and buryed scholars. These things that only know how to gossip were really useless, but they could not be solved by just breaking in. This kind of infiltration is like dog peeing moss. As long as society has a dark side, they have room for survival and a large area will soon emerge!
It was just a change of packaging. They were called Qingliu in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they were called Masters in the Republic of China, and later generations called Gongzhi. They were all the same. Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them were capable, and many of them were very good at writing articles, but more than 90% were hypocritical bastards.
At first, Qiao Yu was not going to use Hu Shi's entry, but one thing made Qiao Yu have a different view of this entry, that is, Hu Shi has always been very loyal to his original wife, which seems very ordinary moral requirement, but it was very difficult for literary entry in the Republic of China era.
Especially for those who study abroad, they usually have a child before going abroad, and their family-based wife. After returning from abroad, these people often divorce their wives or fiancée in a noble manner under the banner of opposing feudal ethics, and then they don’t know what they know about the celebrity and singing girls, and they love each other on their own!
But these people have forgotten that they have been abroad for so many years. It is the arranged marriage wives who respect their parents, take care of housework, raise their children, and wait for them to return at home. However, these people have abandoned their wives with the help of their own banner, and are ruthless and unrighteous.
Those shameless literary works are the ones that Qiao Yu dislikes the most, but Hu Shi is an alternative in this regard. He has always been with his original wife, and his original wife is a shrew who commits domestic violence at any time. Hu Shi can only swallow his anger. This is definitely an anomaly.
In addition, Hu Shi's ideological and propositions were reformist and he also strongly agreed with the country of Shi Qianxing. In this way, he was recognized by the Chinese upper class. A few years ago, he was sent to the United States as the Consul General in New York and showed his strong diplomatic ability.
Siam is an important ally of China and a Buddhist country. It sends a scholar-type diplomat to facilitate communication between the two countries. Therefore, Hu Shi was sent to Siam, but obviously his luck was not good enough. As soon as he arrived here, he encountered an unprecedented demonstration in Siam, and the embassy was also seriously affected.
Listening to the chaotic sounds outside, the security enrollees of the embassy were a little panicked, especially the stones thrown in from time to time, which even broke most of the glass, and even several of the heads were scratched.
However, Hu Shi was extremely calm and even a little bit of joy in it. Once upon a time, China could only resist those foreign countries who did whatever they wanted in their own country. Chinese students had also attacked the other party's embassy, but at most these were just venting emotions and could not change the fate of the country at all.
Hu Shi called Rama VII's phone number, and Rama VII on the other end of the phone was also frightened. The slogan he shouted in this parade was to overthrow his rule. How could he be willing to lose the throne of a monarch? However, his power was seriously insufficient. Not to mention suppressing the parade, he could not even save the important departments. The government and the military no longer obeyed his command.
"Mr. Ambassador, I am very sorry for the situation in Bangkok. However, I really can't get much in and out of my hands now. I will send you a hundred in and out of the palace guards to you in a while. I will do my best to ensure the safety of the embassy!"
Rama VII can mobilize only his guards in the palace, which is also the sorrow of a king. Hu Shi sighed secretly in his heart. The embassy was originally hit, but at this time he wanted to comfort Rama VII: "Your Majesty the King, don't worry about a mob. You must believe in the service capabilities of the Chinese government. As long as you have the strong support of China, your position will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
After hearing Hu Shi's promise, Rama VII felt a little relieved, but he was still very nervous and asked worriedly: "Mr. Ambassador, now several military generals are self-respecting and do not listen to the order. I am worried that this mob will attack Zheng Mansion. I wonder if you have any solutions?"
"His Majesty the King, since I said that China will support you, I will definitely support you. I have sent a telegram to the country. The spirit of the country attaches great importance to the crisis in Siam. The Chinese government has sent two aircraft carriers, Zhiyuan and Ningyuan, and there are also a thousand Marines, who can arrive in Bangkok within two deaths!"
China suddenly took out two aircraft carrier battle groups, and this move was very big. Rama VII finally had a clear idea, but these troops still need two deaths to arrive. Will it be a little far away and unable to quench their near thirst!
"Mr. Ambassador, it's great that China can send aircraft carriers, but these two deaths can easily change o!"
"His Majesty the King, I suggest you hire the Canal Security Company right now, and they will send out six hundred trained security enrollers to help you restore order in Bangkok!"
This time, there was a problem with Siam, which was a bit surprising for China, especially since both the military and political parties were separated from the command of Rama VII and were caught off guard. However, this was also expected. Siam's country has existed for hundreds of years, and the people are naturally unwilling to be controlled by foreign countries. They have a strong sense of seeking Duli.
Especially when nationalism is rampant, even ordinary lower-class troops have begun to collectively turn to the faction, which is normal to cause a situation of inactivity. Of course, this time when this happens, there must be forces behind the scenes, otherwise this situation will never happen.
What is tested most now is China's control ability, and China has installed enough backup plans in Siam in recent years, and the canal security company is the most important one.
As the name suggests, this security company provides security for the construction of the Kra Canal. This canal is related to China's maritime lifeline leading to the Indian Ocean. It must be taken seriously. The construction incoming staff at the climax of more than 100,000. Such a large construction team naturally needs to be managed strongly.
China has established its own security company to provide professional security work. In fact, the employees of these companies have retired from the Chinese active-duty army. The equipment is almost no different from the active-duty army. The unified management of all matters related to the Kara Canal has exceeded 3,000.
This is a perfect combat force in Siam. In addition, China has garrisons in Sothaiyi, and there are also some railway troops. In terms of total force, the total force has exceeded 7,000. These troops are the most favorable weapons for China to control the Siam situation.
At this time, Hu Shi proposed to call the canal security company, which was indeed a good choice for Rama VII, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. It was morally unreasonable to suppress the people of his country with foreign powers. He also confirmed the accusations of the marchers. He was a lackey of China and no matter how he defended it, it was useless.
This will become a stain that he will never wash away, and using China's power is definitely not a waste of time. Of course, it will cost a huge price. This price is Siam's sovereignty. Now the economic lifeline of Siam has been controlled by China. If this continues, this place will become a colony of China and the king will lose power.
Neither left nor right, Rama VII is like an ant on a hot pan.
The phone was silent for a long time, and Hu Shi also guessed Rama VII's concern. He smiled slightly: "His Majesty the King, you should continue to suffer the chaos. The mob has besieged your palace. If you do not take decisive measures, the Chinese government is very worried about your safety!"
Rama VII also knew his sinister situation. Now, if you pass one level, it will be another level. "Mr. Ambassador, I agree with your proposal, but most of the people participating in the march are people who don't know the truth. They can commit less sins of killing, and it is best to kill less.
"Don't worry, we will only punish the evil people and never ask for it!"
Although Hu Shi guaranteed this way that once China takes action, it would not be so simple. This incident has allowed Chinese top leaders to see the problem of Siam. This land must be included in China's territory as soon as possible and cannot be delayed. Whether it is Rama VII, or the faction, or military and political officials, all must be completely cleaned up!
