The alliance became his lifeline, and Poramo only hoped that they would send troops to Laos Province in the spirit of cold lips and teeth. As long as there is movement there, and the mercenaries are likely to retreat, and then it is time for him to regain what he has lost and regain the prestige of the country.

quickly arranged for someone to find foreign aid, and then his eyes were firmly on Chuanlongcheng's body. Not only King Polama, but many people throughout the Phnom Penh dynasty set their sights on Chuan Long City, wanting to see what kind of outcome would be if the two armies collided, whether it would be advantageous or disadvantageous.

Lao Province.

The news of the great victory in the Battle of Kratie finally came back.

At first, it was just some gossip, and it was not confirmed, which has shocked many nobles. Didn't you say that mercenaries wouldn't do it? Didn't they admit it? Why did they start fighting so quickly, and they didn't even receive any news before.

There was no shortage of smart people among the nobles, and they quickly remembered that 20,000 Lao mercenaries had been transferred to the south. At that time, it was said that it was to eliminate the banditry, and at the same time to prevent the army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty from pressing the border, but now it seems that this is simply an excuse, I am afraid that they will already go to the battlefield at that time.

The aristocratic people have bought off the soldiers of the Lao mercenaries, after all, these people are all born here, and they have too many worries and too many shortcomings. But apparently these people were also kept in the dark, and did not know their mission until a moment before the start of the war, but at that time they were unable to send the news back because of the strict blockade.

So what does this mean? Did the mercenaries know that they would reach out indiscriminately, and they were already on guard, or was it all just because of military needs?

If it's the latter, of course, it doesn't matter, and it's understandable that the army needs to block the news when it moves. But if it is the former, will their casual interference in the military affairs of mercenaries cause some people to be dissatisfied, and even be regarded as the next target of punishment?

These nobles were originally some people who had lost power, and they had inherited too many things by relying on the shadow of their ancestors, but in fact they had fallen into disgrace. If the mercenaries are stepping on it at this time, how can they still have the ability to resist?

Just when these people were in a panic, the mercenaries killed tens of thousands of enemies and captured 90,000 enemies in the two big cities of Keshangding and Kratie. For a time, all the inns in the city were overcrowded, and many people crowded here, drinking free tea, listening to the literate people talking about the things in the newspaper over and over again, and then their faces were excited and excited.

Under the interference of Yang Bao's public opinion, more and more people learned about the policy of Lao Province; As the infrastructure construction of Lao Province is on the right track, more and more people have jobs and money to earn; Fight local tyrants and divide the land, so that more people can get benefits and have their own land to live on.

It seems that as long as the people have land in their hands, they will be at ease and content. Although the Lao Provincial Government has not been established for a long time, only a few months, it has already won the sincere support of many people. This time almost everyone was happy to learn that the mercenaries guarding the fruits of their victory had won a great battle ahead. If the battle is won, it means that the interests in their hands will not be arbitrarily deprived and encroached upon. And in the face of a bright future, what Lancang Kingdom, to hell with it. I didn't see how good this kingdom was for the people before, and if they were killed, wouldn't they have to go back to the time when they didn't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes?

The people do things most directly, they don't care about right and wrong, good and bad, they only know who is good to them, they will be good to whom. Now the policy of Lao Province is oriented towards them, and naturally they will go to Lao Province. In addition to the daily preaching of the intellectuals who were mixed in with them, and the Han people who had received more benefits stood up and waved their flags and shouted, the opinions of the people were unexpectedly unified. On the afternoon of the day when the news was published in Yang Pao, at least 7,000 young and middle-aged people signed up to join the army. They are supporting the Lao Provincial Government with practical actions.

As the governor of the province, Luan Xiaochen is also very moved by the people's approach, but as a sub-province, there are strict rules on how many soldiers there are, which is also to prevent some provinces from becoming bigger privately, so in the face of the active upsurge of joining the army, Luan Xiaochen personally met everyone in the square in front of the government, expressed his gratitude, and stated that there is no shortage of mercenaries now, and please go back first, if you really need to recruit soldiers, Yang Baozhong will report it. As for young people who are not hot-headed and want to join the army, he suggested that they should first sign up for militia service, so that they can learn some simple military knowledge, so they really need soldiers, and those with such qualifications can naturally be given priority.

To put it mildly, more than 7,000 people were persuaded to go back. The occurrence of this scene quickly spread throughout the entire Mixc, and it attracted many people's surprise. It's only been a few months, has the Lao provincial government won the hearts of the people like this? It seems that this could not be done in the most glorious period of the Lancang Kingdom before.

With Luan Xiaochen's pressure and careful preparation, the provincial government is doing everything as usual, in addition to constantly transporting all kinds of war preparation materials to the front, it is making every effort to develop commerce and infrastructure, just like a red embedded city, developing day by day.

With the great victory ahead, those nobles didn't dare to say anything cool, and became much more honest. The original backlog of commodity goods also began to quickly leave the warehouse when the news of the big victory came ahead. Now that the mercenaries have shown their determination to defend the merchant group, what else do they have to worry about? Even now goods cannot be sold to Phnom Penh, Siam and Ava. But aren't there other countries and regions in the vicinity? Daming alone is a huge market, enough for them to toss.

The merchants took action, and every time they bought goods, they had to pay more commercial taxes, and the money from the sale of goods could not be intercepted in Laos Province, and they had to be handed over to Chichicheng afterwards, but these commercial taxes did belong to them and could be used for the development of various work. With money and easy work, the development of Lao Province has entered a faster track.

But it was in this era of rapid development that there was a sudden movement in Nong Khai City, south of Vientiane City, and 200,000 troops from Siam were about to descend on the city.

Under the development of the war, day by day, Siam and Ava finally moved. Siam, in particular, is adjacent to the MixC City, the seat of the Lao Provincial Government. When they received the news of King Porama's request for help, the upper echelons made the decision to send troops to Vientiane City.

King Eliqi of Siam was a man of vision. When Jiaozhi was still in the earliest days and sent troops to Nanming, his attention fell here. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to cross Lancang and Jiaozhi to enter the land of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he would have the idea of sending troops to seize the resources of the Ming Dynasty.

The ensuing battle was a bit unexpected, with a mercenary army suddenly killed, and the seemingly strong Jiaozhi was defeated, and then Lancang was taken in one fell swoop, and renamed Lao Province. This series of actions suddenly made him feel nervous.

The Italian is nervous about the strong military power of the mercenaries, and is nervous about whether they will take advantage of this to do it to themselves.

In his heart, if he had such a strong army, he would definitely not be soft, and he would definitely raise the butcher's knife high and then fall and slash at the people and areas he thought should be cut. He believed that such feelings were not only unique to him, but also to mercenaries.

Originally, he was thinking about how to fight out in this troubled world, expand his territory, and create a great cause. The unexpected rise of mercenaries forced him to give up such an idea, thinking about how to protect himself.

This led to the alliance of Siam with Phnom Penh and the Ava dynasty. To put it bluntly, they just feel the danger and huddle together to keep warm. They are confident that the three countries have joined together and have a lot of strength, although it has not yet reached the role of eliminating mercenaries, but at least it makes the other party feel the pressure.

What is unexpected is that not long after the alliance was established, there was a matter of the Solangon family. While he scolded the general Hun Sen for being stupid, he also closely followed the development of the situation. Fortunately, some news came not long after, and the mercenary suddenly stopped mentioning the matter, as if he had confessed, but why couldn't his heart calm down?

It turned out that Yiliqi's instincts were right. On the surface, the mercenaries seem to have softened, but in private, they have been gathering forces and launched an unexpected and rapid attack, not to mention occupying two large cities in a row, but also directly destroying the 100,000 troops of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, which not only weakened the strength of the other party, but also showed the invincible and powerful side of the mercenaries.

The act of secretly crossing Chen Cang made Yili admire in his heart, but at the same time, the pressure increased greatly. Today the mercenaries have the idea of the Phnom Penh dynasty, will they come tomorrow to fight the idea of the Siamese state? Rather than letting the team approach step by step, it is better for them to take the initiative to attack, especially when the main force of the mercenaries is confronting the Phnom Penh army, they suddenly attack, the odds of victory should be much greater, and once the Vientiane City is captured, not only can you get the wealth and various resources in the city, but also copy the back road of the mercenaries, which greatly relieves the pressure of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

As for whether this will lead to retaliation from mercenaries. What are you kidding, you are already an enemy, are you still afraid that something like this will happen?

Siam's ungreeted troops caused a panic in Vientiane, and the nobles who had become honest began to move again. Some of them have even begun to secretly contact the envoys sent by the Siamese State, and they seem to have decided to turn against each other.
