The big city is not big. Ayutaya is not "eternal victory".

In the palace hall, in addition to his ministers, there were four Ming officials and a Ming immigrant in front of King Nalay. Of course, those officials were not standing there, but sitting.

After all, he is the envoy of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

The "iron-blooded general" Rado, who was crawling in front of the throne, had already presented the "Villa Treaty" to King Nalay with both hands.

"This is" King Nale picked up the treaty and looked at it carefully.

After a few glances, King Nalay's face began to look ugly.

Once this treaty was signed, Siam became the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!

Ah, no, Siam was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!

But in the past it was just a name, but now...

Now... is it said that the day of being a king behind closed doors is over?

"This... dare to ask the angel, what's this mean!"

King Nalay said.

"We have always been very respectful to the Celestial Empire, but this is the case, we have garrisons and sent out migrant officials, so why is this so?"

The translations of the two countries also translated King Nalay's words into Chinese.

"Why is this so?"

Li Rucan said with a smile,

"This is to solve some trouble for you!"

"trouble?"

"right!"

Li Rucan nodded and said:

"Even among the Ming people, there are inevitably illegal traitors. The Celestial Empire is a country of etiquette. How can we tolerate illegal traitors hurt innocent people? Therefore, the Celestial Empire intends to send out migrant officials to specialize in immigration. If there are Ming immigrants hurt innocent people in the future, there will naturally be migrant officials to deal with it. This will reduce many troubles and misunderstandings?"

There seems to be some truth.

Is this extraterritorial legal power?

In fact, these are all left over from the ancestors of China. As early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, the system of "local officials specializing in governing local people, while Han people belong to transcendent officials" had already formed. However, "the dispute between the Han and the Tu are reborn, and the transcendent officials will be reborn." As for local officials, at most, they will send people to listen.

Extraordinary legal power has existed since ancient times. It’s just that the name is different. If you enjoy this thing yourself, you can change it to others enjoy it and who is uncomfortable.

"This, it's okay. It's just that the heavenly officials in the heavenly dynasty are noble. Siam is actually a place outside the world, so why does it need to affect the heavenly officials?"

King Nalay politely refused.

"It's not far, not far away, our Ming county, as far as the West, the Celestial Empire also has tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the South Tianmen Gate. There are more than 10,000 ships every year. It's not a problem for the Tianguan to travel back and forth. Moreover, it is precisely because Siam is an outside place that it needs to be educated. It is the responsibility of the Celestial Empire to use etiquette!"

Li Rucan's words were said to be caring, but in fact they were almost equivalent to threats!

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are trying to warn them that the Ming Dynasty did not even need to mobilize its local army to directly kill Ayutaya City!

As for the result, Myanmar next to it is an example.

As for signing or not, you can do it yourself.

Of course, King Nalay heard the threat in his words.

"Then why do we need to garrison?"

Li Rucan's eyes turned to the Westerners in the palace and said with a smile,

"In recent years, Western countries have invaded or penetrated our Ming vassal states. How could Your Majesty see that all the vassal states are like Malacca and are under the control of foreign countries? That is why they sent troops to protect them. This is also the emperor's love for the vassal states!"

Care?

Fells sneered in his heart.

You obviously want to annex this place!

Now he knew how dark the Ming Dynasty was, but even if he reminded King Nalay not to be stupid and not to sign, what about?

...If the contract is signed or not, the result will be the same.

After all, King Nalai and his army would definitely not be able to defeat the Ming army.

Since you can't beat it, you can only sign a contract!

Of course, Fels also knew that after signing the contract, he would leave here, after all, the Ming Dynasty had already shown hostility towards Westerners like them.

As for Siam, they may be able to last for more than ten or decades. As for the future, who knows?

King Nalay still has no son.

If there is no heir in the future, then this land will definitely be annexed by the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, for France, this is no big deal. Even now... France cannot enter this land now. After all, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not something that France can challenge.

It seems that in the future, France can only trade with the Ming Dynasty at the Nantianmen.

By then, this sea will become the real "Minghai".

Oh, no, there are Spanish!

Those Spaniards also occupied the Philippines, perhaps... they were just rabbits' tails.

This is the Ming Dynasty!

It will never allow any country to occupy their sphere of influence.

In fact, for King Nalay, he was not worried that Siam would be occupied by the Portuguese like Malacca, not because the city was the "eternal city of victory", but because... the Ming Dynasty guarded Malacca, and Siam was also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. How powerful is the Ming Dynasty now? Who will challenge the Ming Dynasty?

But the question is, what if the Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy Siam?

Can Siam resist the Ming Dynasty's attack?

Of course, more importantly, where did the Ming Dynasty's ambition for Siam stop?

King Nalay was completely in deep thought.

Of course, Siam could not defeat the Celestial Empire, and might not even have the power to struggle. The Celestial Empire only needed a slight push and Siam would perish...

By then, he, the king, would definitely be chopped off his head like the Burmese king, and then sent his head to Nanjing.

"King,"

Li Rucan continued to fool him,

"Siam's obedience to the Celestial Empire is obvious to all. As long as it continues to obey the Celestial Empire and fulfills its vassal state, how could the Celestial Empire make things difficult for Siam? Just like in the 14th year of Chongzhen, today, Zi personally led troops to help North Korea restore its country. Although the Ming Dynasty stationed a large army in Korea, it was only to prevent the invasion of the Eastern Captains and invasion. It did not disturb the Korean officials and people at all. All the people in North Korea were grateful for the benevolence of the Celestial Empire..."

North Korea is the good son of the Ming Dynasty. Over the past decade, the Ming Dynasty has guarded their land and watched their homes, so that the Korean king directly laid off the army, leaving only a thousand royal guards, and even the military commander became a decoration.

Nalai may not know about these, but he knew the chieftains in the southwest, and the chieftains... were almost the same. Although he obeyed the orders of the Ming Dynasty and sent officials to set up military camps, what about the chieftains? He still continued to live his own life like a "local emperor".

This is true for the inner vassal chieftains, then Siam...

For a time, in everyone's opinion, it was no big deal to sign or not to sign this contract.

In fact, the so-called "independence of vassals" is given little by little, and of course it can also be swallowed little by little. One way that Zhu State strongly promoted was to transform the Ming Dynasty's vassal system into a system of colonial empires, and transform Siam, Annan, Zhenla and other countries into colonies or semi-colonies of the Ming Dynasty.

After eating it in one bite, Daming has this strength and it looks very pleasant, but it is very difficult to implement it. Just like the Ming Dynasty annexed Jiaozhi, although it easily defeated their central government, it was only the beginning of a long-term war. Even in the end, facing tenacious resistance, it could only withdraw its troops in shame.

Direct annexation cost is too high and the risk is too high. Moreover, when the expenses of the colony exceed the benefits, it will be a matter of time before failure!

After all, annexation also requires economic accounting.

What is the best way?

For example, France annexed Vietnam, first annexed part of the region, and then asked for power bit by bit. In the end, Vietnam and Zhila royal families became decorations, just closed the door and pretended to be there, and the Governor's Office would eventually become a real power institution.

In this process, the colonies will not only not consume the empire's financial resources, but will also become the empire's cows. The Governor's Office can promote agriculture within the colonial system in areas such as Siam, Zhila and Annan to meet the local needs for all aspects such as grain and wood.

At the same time, these areas will become colonies of the Ming Dynasty, absorb the excess population in the country, protect the Ming Dynasty's expatriates by establishing the Governor's Office, and allow the Ming Dynasty expatriates and their descendants to receive Chinese education through Confucian academies, rather than being brainwashed by Buddhism like the current Siamese people. After decades of such gradual annexation of blood and education, what is left in Siam?

Zhu Guoqiang was not sure about all this, but one thing that is certain is that in a few decades, there will definitely be many purely breeding Siamese people. After all, this place is not just a matter of more men and fewer women, but their men are not as popular as the Ming men. Their women are often proud of finding Ming men, and even women after marriage are the same. They take the initiative to have children for the Ming men. Over time, such ethnic integration will definitely be the first to complete on this land.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guoqiang was of course happy to see such national integration. If necessary, he would also ask historians to write this chapter in history to tell the world how Siam actively integrated into this big family. This kind of initiative is not only limited to the King of Siam, but also the ordinary people of Siam. History books will record all this in detail, recording how they cheered and devoted their efforts, and the infusion of this big family into it. How those Siam women actively invested into the arms of the men of the Ming Dynasty.
