Siam’s fragrant rice nourishes people! (Please subscribe)

On January 10, the second year of Shenwu, on the vast plain outside the city of Ayutthaya, the capital of the Ayutthaya Dynasty in Siam.

About 40,000 Guards, 30,000 Matalan servants, and 30,000 Acehnese servants (10,000 were returned to the Aceh female sultan) gathered together.

The Johor garrison is still training, so it cannot temporarily be unable to participate in the war.

A huge army surrounded this city known as Eternal Victory.

Holding Princess Emira in his arms, Zhu Kezang reluctantly took out his hand.

I have to say, it feels good in the hand.

The Ming Dynasty's army landed from Bangkok by boat, and the city of Ayutthaya is located in the north of Bangkok.

Zhu Kezang, who had just taken out his hand, took a telescope and carefully observed the royal capital of the Ayutthaya Dynasty.

The scale of the capital city is still very large. Although it cannot be compared with the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is more magnificent than the average Ming Dynasty city.

As for the treaty of this alliance under the city, Zhu Kezang had already thought about it before he came.

At worst, when the time is right, we can annex it into the province of Siam!

With the concept of tribute and humanism, as long as you become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, you can do whatever you want with it. There is no need to spend a lot of supplies to take Siam.

The Asian elephants in Ayutthaya are huge and powerful. The Siamese would put heavy armor on the elephants, and they would go rampant in battle. If it was in the era of cold weapons, they would be basically invincible.

There was sudden movement in the city of Ayutthaya. Accompanied by bursts of drums, the huge city gate slowly opened, and a large number of Siamese troops rushed out. Among them were elephants composed of huge elephants.

soldiers.

Its city wall is actually made of hard marble and is two or three feet high. It is considered a very towering city wall in Southeast Asia.

There is a saying that the current territory of the New Ming Dynasty is so fragmented and so ugly that Zhu Kezang himself can't stand it anymore. There are pieces here and there.

In addition, when choosing the location of this royal capital, it was chosen to be on a large island where three rivers converge. It is surrounded by water on three sides and only one side is connected to the land. When defending, you only need to defend the land side.

Pan Aqiang visually estimated that there were about 80,000 Siamese troops on the opposite side. Fortunately, they made a surprise attack, otherwise Ayutthaya would have no problem gathering an army of 200,000.

Ayutthaya means eternal victory in Sanskrit.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not expect to win Siam in one fell swoop because Siam was too big, so Zhu Kezang chose the tactic of raiding the capital instead of fighting all the way from the Johor Peninsula.

Pan Aqiang, who was beside Zhu Kezang, said nonchalantly.

Ayutthaya does have the capital to take the initiative to attack. In this year, Ayutthaya's national strength is strong and it maintains an elephant army consisting of 200 elephants.

From the news coming from Nanyang, he clearly knew that the Ming Dynasty's artillery was sharp, and if the enemy was allowed to attack the city, this tall and strong city would probably not be able to defend it.

Obviously, Ming Dynasty needed more high-quality farmland.

About two hundred elephants were lined up in a line, four to five feet apart from each other. Behind the elephants were the mighty Ayutthaya army.

It can be said that Aqiang has no fear of such a difficult siege battle.

Putting down the telescope, Zhu Kezang couldn't help but shake his head.

Therefore, the rich and fertile Siam is the territory that the Ming Dynasty must control. Only by allowing Siam to diversify, can the Ming Dynasty develop industrialization with peace of mind!

I'm going too far. That's all a matter later. The most important point in the vassal treaty is that Ayutthaya will provide one hundred thousand servants to fight with the Ming Dynasty. Ayutthaya will pay for the food and military pay. The Ming Dynasty will only be responsible for training and training.

A small amount of core equipment.

Secondly, it is to cede Ayutthaya's land on the Johor Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty. Because the Kingdom of Johor was directly annexed by the Ming Dynasty, the land on the Johor Peninsula must be allocated to the Ming Dynasty.

"No wonder they dare to call themselves the City of Eternal Victory!"

After gunpowder was invented, no matter how powerful a city wall was, it would sometimes be breached.

When he was the commander of the 1st Battalion, several bastions that Westerners were proud of were captured by the demolition teams he led.

Zhu Kezang is a soil control!

So let’s just conquer Indochina!

When the time comes, just poke the chrysanthemum of Qing Dynasty.

"We still have to find a way to force them to surrender and negotiate. Ming Dynasty is not here to snatch their land. It just comes to teach them a lesson and leave a deep impression on them." Zhu Kezang said with a smile.

.

"Interesting, I haven't encountered an enemy who dares to attack for a long time!" Pan Aqiang was a little excited.

"It seems that they are not planning to surrender. These barbarians still need to be taught a lesson."

In the age of cold weapons, this kind of city was the hardest to conquer. It was surrounded by water on three sides, which meant that you only had to concentrate on holding on to one side.

The advantage of conquering the Indochina Peninsula is not only that it can poke the back door of the Qing Dynasty, but more importantly, it is rich in resources and is a huge raw material and agricultural base.

As someone from the First Battalion of the First Town, he does have the capital to say that.

The Siamese people were making a lot of noise, and Zhu Kezang became interested. He picked up the telescope and saw Asian elephants dressed in red and colorful. There were several people riding on the elephant's back, some holding bows and arrows, and some holding spears.

, and even some holding firecrackers.

With the Indo-China peninsula, the homeland of the Ming Dynasty can concentrate on developing industry in the future!

Since the late Ming Dynasty, the area of ​​cultivated land in the south of the Yangtze River, which is most suitable for farming, has been decreasing year by year. Other places such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu are also not suitable for large-scale, mechanized agricultural production due to various reasons. At most, they can only maintain a small farmer economy.

Siam’s fragrant rice nourishes people!

Northeast Wuchang rice and Siam fragrant rice are the most delicious rice in Zhu Kezang’s memory.

Wang Xianwu was a little unhappy. The enemy actually refused to surrender and dared to attack. Who was he looking down on?

"Dong dong"

Of course, this eternally victorious city would be captured by the Taungoo people from the north in 1767, thus declaring the fall of the Ayutthaya dynasty.

"Your Majesty, they are just bragging. They are vulnerable to the Polu Cannon and the Demolition Team."

The number of troops was not as large as that of the Ming Dynasty, but the king of Ayutthaya, Narai Prasathorn, wanted to take a big gamble with the elephant soldiers!

On the city wall, he saw the enemy's terrifying artillery groups!

Coupled with the hard and tall city wall built, if you want to knock it down in the cold weapon era, you will have to pay heavy casualties.

First, the compensation is 5 million to 10 million taels of silver, which can be paid in installments up to five years, but interest must be paid.

Only by taking the initiative can there be hope!

Because it is inconvenient for the elephant soldiers to be exported inside the city, the vast plain outside the city is the paradise for the elephant soldiers. As long as the elephant soldiers can rush into the Ming army's formation, the Kingdom of Ayutthaya will surely win!

The Ayutthaya soldiers thought the same way. They howled and followed the elephant soldiers, shouting and charging.

Feeling the majestic momentum of thousands of troops, Narai Bashatong was very proud, as if victory was just around the corner.

"Get the secret weapon and send these little cuties to heaven!"
