434 Forgetting the Ming Dynasty

At the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, more than 20 giant ships were quietly anchoring there waiting.

Taichang turned his telescope from time to time to scan the river, and he couldn't help but look a little worried on his face.

They arrived here in three days, and Lu Xiangsheng also led tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Camp to support the Siam Royal City on a wolf-tooth warship.

Logically speaking, there should be no problem.

After all, the Siam King said he could hold on for a month.

But, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something.

What if Donghu rushed to the Siam Royal City like crazy and attacked fiercely, could the Siam King hold on?

If this is the case, it is hard to say.

The Siam Royal City was not unbreakable by Donghu. In history, Donghu had broken through the Siam Royal City more than once.

Historically, the reason why Siam moved its capital near the mouth of Chao Phraya River was because the Donghu broke through the Siam Royal City for the last time, and all the people in the royal city were captured by them and they took them back to Donghu.

This is how the Siam Ayutthaya dynasty perished in history.

So, what will happen this time?

About two hours later, a row of wolf-toothed warships finally appeared in the distant river.

Taichang turned the telescope and glanced carefully, and a strange look appeared on his face.

The soldiers of the Shenji Camp on the Wolf-Tooth Warship should have gone down, and the cannons and artillery trucks hanging from the Dragon-Tooth Warship were gone.

This proves that the Siam Royal City should have not been captured yet, otherwise Lu Xiangsheng would probably have led his army back.

The problem is that Lu Xiangsheng did not lead the army back, but Zheng Sui came back with the fleet, and there was a more luxuriously dressed person next to this guy.

This person is very likely to be the King of Siam!

Why did the King of Siam come over at this time?

After a while, a long list of wolf-toothed warships emerged from the Chao Phraya River. The wolf-toothed warship that Zheng Sui and the Siam King rode straight for the flagship.

It was obvious that they came to him.

Taichang thought about it, but he returned to the study and sat there waiting with a majestic face.

Soon, Zheng Sui took the man in gorgeous clothes to the study.

The man in the gorgeous clothes pulled Zheng Suinai's head and bowed, lying on the ground and said with gratitude: "Thank you, the emperor for leading the source of the king's army. The emperor's kindness will never be forgotten."

Well, the Siam King turned out to come to thank him.

It seems that the King of Siam also thought that Siam was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty because he spoke the official language of the Ming Dynasty and spoke very well.

If he did not regard Siam as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no need to learn the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin.

Question, isn’t Donghu siegeing the Siam royal city?

You come here at this time, don’t worry about any confusion in the royal city!

Taichang nodded calmly, then raised his hand and said majesticly: "No need to be polite, get up."

Upon hearing this, the King of Siam quickly got up with great gratitude.

Taichang couldn't help but say curiously: "Have Donghu not yet reached your Siam Royal City?"

The Siam King quickly explained: "The Donghu army has arrived at the periphery of the city, but they are still building siege equipment and have not launched an attack yet."

Oh, so that's it.

It seems that the soldiers of Shenji Camp arrived in time.

Taichang nodded slightly and asked again: "I will give you 30,000 infantrymen and 120 artillery pieces, can you defend the city?"

The Siam King nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Donghu relied on the possession of muskets and cannons to gain an advantage. The emperor led many more muskets and cannons than them. In addition, the city is high and the moat is deep, so it is impossible for them to break through the city."

Just keep it.

Taichang thought for a while and asked again: "How long can the food in your city last?"

The King of Siam said without hesitation: "The near the Great City is a place for grain production, and there is still a lot of food in the city, so it will be fine if you persist for half a year."

Then there will be no problem.

Taichang wanted to ask something, but Zhang Zhiji walked in quickly and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the second batch of soldiers of the Shenji Camp are ready."

The servants of this ASCHS were already fast, and with a group of people only got a group of people, the speed was naturally amazingly fast.

Taichang thought for a while and simply waved his hand: "You might as well go back and stabilize the situation in the city as soon as possible. Don't worry, at most, I will lead a large army to deal with Donghu."

After hearing this, the King of Siam lay on the ground and thanked him a lot, and then he respectfully said goodbye.

There is no problem with this support.

After the last batch of soldiers from the Shenji Camp were sent over, Taichang led the fleet back to Xinjinling City and prepared to return to the Ming Dynasty to pick up people.

This time he planned to follow the route of Zheng He's voyage to the West and accompany the coast. He first detoured through Siam and then went to Guiren, the royal city of Chameng, to provide supplies, and then passed through Qiongzhou Prefecture and to Guangzhou Prefecture.

Although this requires more than a thousand miles of road, the advantage lies in safety. You will basically not encounter sea storms. You can bring more infantrymen on the way back.

Because he set a time with the King of Siam, he did not stay in Xinjinling City for more. Within a few days, he led the navy fleet and detoured through Siam and headed straight for Chameng Kingdom.

On the Nanyang side, he left behind a Aegis ship, twenty Dragon Tooth warships and more than two hundred Wolf Tooth warships were handed over to the Navy Governor Sun Chuanting here to guard it.

This Champaign was also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He went to the West seven times, and his first stop was in the royal city of Champaign Guiren to replenish supplies.

Unfortunately, as the Ming Dynasty's national strength declined, Chameng Kingdom had not sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty for decades.

To be honest, Taichang didn’t know how Chameng Kingdom was like, and he didn’t know if he could still get supplies in Guiren. Fortunately, it only took five or six days to detour from Xinjinling City to Chameng. If it really doesn’t work, he could rush directly to Qiongzhou Prefecture to replenish Danshui.

Six days after the fleet set out, Chameng Kingdom on the route map finally arrived. Guiren seemed to be normal, the port was still there, and there were even many sailing ships and oars parked inside.

The only strange thing is that the people in this port were frightened and panicked when they saw the Ming Navy fleet, looking like they wanted to escape but couldn't.

What's going on?

Chameng is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. What are you afraid of when the Ming Dynasty’s royal army comes?

Taichang sent people off the boat and found out after inquiring, it turned out that Chameng Kingdom had long been labeled as a vassal state by Annan, and Guiren was also occupied by Annan. The Guiren Port was full of Annan's ships. They thought the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the army and he was here!

I have to say that this is really speechless.

The Ming Dynasty was no longer in power, and these vassal states began to mess around.

He was not asking for punishment, he just wanted to establish a supply point here so that the navy fleet would travel to and from Southeast Asia in the future.

Unexpectedly, this happened.

You can't ignore this matter. If you don't care, how can you replenish it here?

He could only order people to call the officials in charge of Annan here.

As a result, he waited for a long time before an official dressed in the Ming Dynasty came in a hurry in the clutch.

Well, in fact, this person is not wearing the Ming Dynasty official uniform but the Annan official uniform.

Annan’s official uniforms are basically the same as those of the Ming Dynasty, and even Annan’s imperial examination system is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Look at this man's robe, crown and belt, he turned out to be a duke!

Who is this guy?

He sat on the stairs and waited for a while, then the Annan Dynasty officials walked up and stumbled on the ground and said in panic: "Duan Guo and the general of Guangnan under the throne of Annan, Ruan Huang, who was the chief of Guangnan, kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor."

OK, the attitude is pretty good, and what the Ming Dynasty said is pretty good.

Taichang snorted slightly, then asked: "Why did King Annan attack Chameng? They are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, so why did they fight against each other?"

Unexpectedly, Ruan Huang actually complained directly: "The emperor forgives the crime. This move is not what our king's princess means. It is to forgive Duke Zheng Song, who uses the emperor to order the princes to invade the city and the invasion of the city and the invasion of the city."

What a mess?

During the Jiajing Dynasty, Annan seemed to have another Duke of Ren Mo Dengyong usurped the throne and relied on his own. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was working hard to deal with the southern Japanese and northern enemy. He had no time to care about Annan. He could only send Minister of War Mao Bowen and Yunnan Governor Wang Wensheng to Zhennan Pass, pretending to send troops to fight.

Later, Mo Dengyong sent Ruan Wentai to the capital to submit a letter to surrender, and went to Zhennan Pass to personally request to surrender himself to the commander-in-chief of Annan. Jiajing followed the flow and gave up.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that the Ming Dynasty had no time to care about them, that the forces in Annan began to become unscrupulous.

Now that I'm fine, Annan said something about the Duke of Rong, Zheng Song, who wielded the emperor to command the princes. Duan Guo Ruan Huang probably seems to be against the Duke of Rong, who wielded the Duke of Rong, but it seems that it is still the opposite of Duke of Rong.

In other words, Annan has now split into four forces.

The problem is that these people didn’t pay attention to the Ming Dynasty and were fighting each other here, having a lot of fun!

The Ming Dynasty also knew nothing about this!

Alas, it’s only been a few decades, and you have forgotten that there is a Ming Dynasty above, and you are doing it here!
