Chapter 929: Thirty-one days
"Yes, we still have 60,000 troops, they are all elite, and they can be more than one enemy on the battlefield, it is really us" The general Dahn on the side wanted to continue to introduce. The lark had already spoken, "It's just a chicken and a dog." If you don't accept it, you can fight a war, and the mercenaries only need to send less than 10,000 people to easily destroy it, believe it or not"
His eyes fell on Dahn's body, and the calm momentum on the lark's body also changed, becoming more aggressive.
Dahn, who was stared at, wanted to say disbelief at this moment, and wanted to shake his head. However, he knew that now the people's hearts were in turmoil, the army's morale was scattered, and the so-called 60,000 troops were just a number, and when he really had to face mercenaries, defeat was certain.
Ding Dingwei sighed inwardly, knowing that his idea of using the military as a bargaining chip had failed. He also knows that now it is the people who are the swords and I am the fish and meat, and they have lost the right to speak and the qualifications to put forward conditions.
As if seeing Ding Dingwei's twilight, the lark's body moved, and he took out a telegram and put it on the table, "Hamo, as the defender of Chuanlong City, was supposed to defend the city and wait for reinforcements, but he didn't do this, and instead of protecting the people under his rule, he set his horse on fire and burned the city, so that tens of thousands of people in the city were injured and died, and not only that, but you also put this basin on the heads of our mercenaries." Now that Hammer has been captured, he has told the truth and will soon be revealed. ”
As an envoy, in the face of the unreasonable demands of the Spanish army, Kemoy not only did not refuse, but also agreed to cede a city as a benefit, asking them to send troops to deal with the mercenaries, which was clearly an act of separatism and a sinner of the Phnom Penh dynasty. Now he was also captured by mercenaries and told what he had done. ”
"Two, Wu Bu Si Zhan, Wen Bu Si Xuan, do you think that even if such a Phnom Penh dynasty stays, will there be any hope, even if he is broken, he will no longer be able to exert his brilliance in the hands of Borama, then it is better to hand over the power, let us be loyal and brave to change them. Just like the two provinces of Laos and Vietnam, now that the government is harmonious, the economy is developing at a high speed, and the people have lived the life they want, isn't this bad, isn't it what the courtiers want to see?"
Yes, the current Phnom Penh dynasty does have a lot of internal problems. And in order to solve this problem, it is not just about taking out money to solve it, but it needs to be changed from the roots, and this can only be done by mercenaries, and the facts have also proved that the life of the people in the area they rule is indeed higher than that of other forces, otherwise, there will be no people of the Phnom Penh Dynasty to escape from the past, and there will be no Phnom Penh army to block the border, and eventually lead to the result of the war.
At the thought that King Polamo was a villain who only came in and could not leave, and even now, the silver taels in the treasury had not been touched, and the matter of recruiting new soldiers was only halfway through and had been declared over, who could say that the current appearance of the Phnom Penh dynasty was not caused by this king
The two civil and military officials lowered their heads at the moment, speechless, and really didn't know what to say. However, the lark, whose stern expression just now was fleeting, said with a very calm look, "The Loyal Courage has sent an order, and Poramo must step down, and he must also leave here and rush to other places under house arrest. Of course, the safety of his life is guaranteed, and not only that, but the two of them, as loyal ministers and good generals who can stay in the end, also have a chance to visit him once a year, which can be regarded as doing their duty as a monarch. Oh yes, if you want to do this, the two of you have to stay and continue to do something for the Phnom Penh dynasty, otherwise, you don't have such qualifications. ”
"Stay" Ding Dingwei and Dahn were stunned, they were a little confused about what the white sparrow meant.
"Yes, stay, this is the meaning of loyalty, now that the Phnom Penh dynasty has been decided, there are many things to do, and the two of you know the situation here better. Your recent performance has also proved your ability, and even more proof of your character, which has made the loyal and courageous man very much appreciated, so he asked you to stay. In the future, the Phnom Penh Dynasty will cease to exist and be renamed Cambodia Province, with Dahn as the garrison general here, responsible for the reconstruction of the army and law and order in the province, and Ding Tingwei as the deputy governor, responsible for the people's livelihood and economic development here. ”
When it came to Ding Dingwei, the lark's face showed a look of envy and said, "The position of vice governor is already very high, not even lower than your current position as the left minister, which already shows the importance that the loyal prince attaches to you." ”
The lark's sudden remarks were indeed unexpected by the two. All they thought about was to give them the allegiance of King Parama, who had given them great gratitude, and they persevered until the end, never thinking that they would be favored by the loyal prince, and they were unprepared for a while and did not know how to answer. However, Ding Dingwei was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he only muttered for a moment and then replied, "What if we don't agree."
"Loyal and courageous will not force anyone. If they do not agree, they will be treated in the same way as other ministers. But I still advise you to stay, after all, we have persevered until now, not only because of Paramo, but also because of the people and the army in your hearts. Zhong Dan Gong said that as long as you stay, there is no problem with the funds for doing things, as long as it is reasonably spent, it will be approved. Not only that, but the treasury left by Poramo, where all the money will be left in Cambodia Province, where after the war, all the ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and the people are even more miserable, and if they want to keep up with their living standards, even on par with Laos and Vietnam, it will take a lot of effort and invest more money. ”
"This is a good opportunity, I personally think, only the two of you understand the situation here, your existence, the people here may suffer a lot less and not be bullied, if it is replaced by someone else, everything will not be certain." The lark said that Yang Chendong would not force anyone, but the meaning of the words was still biased towards them to stay, and asked them in the name of the people.
This is exactly what Yang Chendong meant, and the history of razing and razing has proved that it is indeed a tube
with. Why, then, should he go so far as to send other people here to take care of things? It is only necessary to arrange the position of a provincial governor to control the overall situation, and the other cadres below should leave some more former ministers, so that they can spend a lot less time understanding and running in the work.
Ding Dingwei and Dahn listened attentively, and there was already some excitement in their hearts. The lark has already said that the treasury will not be moved, and the loyal and courageous prince will invest more money, so in line with the idea that it is easy to do things with money, presumably the future Phnom Penh dynasty should not say that the future Cambodian province can still be expected. Both of them are not too old, and they also have the intention of making a career, and now that the era of Porama is obviously over, even for the sake of future generations, they should show themselves well.
Four days later, that is, on the thirty-first day of the mercenary counterattack on the first blockade line in the city of Shang Ting, the negotiations ended, and the lark accepted the surrender letter handed by King Pormo of the former Phnom Penh Dynasty on behalf of the mercenaries.
From start to finish, it only took a month. Although there is still a lot of work to be done afterwards, the speed with which the armed forces of a kingdom can be disarmed is also jaw-dropping.
Yang Chendong had said before that he would solve the affairs of the Phnom Penh Dynasty by force within one to two months, and now he has done it, or with the best standards, which makes the governor of Laos Province, Luan Xiaochen, who is in charge of logistics, feel less pressure.
In order to restrain Siam and Ava from sending troops to help the Phnom Penh Dynasty, Luan Xiaochen first gave his merchants from these two countries preferential treatments such as tax reductions and discounts on purchases, showing his friendship to them. Facts have also proved that this trick is indeed very effective.
When news of the war came and the Phnom Penh dynasty sent people to ask the two allies for military support, these merchants did everything they could to obstruct them, making the two countries slow down the dispatch of troops. Now that the Phnom Penh dynasty has changed its name to Cambodia Province, their army has not yet been assembled.
There was no foreign interference, and now that the war was over, Siam and Ava had no reason to send troops. While they had to swallow this bitter fruit, they also began to strengthen their armaments, because they had a feeling that the mercenaries who were developing rapidly would not leave them, and that one day they would be eaten up like the Phnom Penh dynasty. For this reason, the kings of the two countries reached a private agreement, that is, no matter which country was attacked in the future, the other country must provide unconditional support, which was originally for their own survival.
The Security Bureau and the CIA buried the eyes of the two countries and reported the news to Yang Chendong's hands, and he just glanced at it and threw it aside. It is up to the two countries to make trouble, what he is anxious to do now is to stabilize the situation in Cambodia, he really does not have more strength to eat others now, it is not that the soldiers in his hands cannot defeat these two small countries, but there is no more manpower to occupy and manage them. Not to mention, as soon as the war broke out here, Beiming and Nanming had already made moves.
