Chun Hawang, who had a smile on his face, turned around and made a gesture towards Hammod first, and then said: "Lord Xiangguo, there is news just now from the front, the attack of the Five-Star Army is weak, and after several battles, all of them have suffered heavy losses, and our side has won a big victory." And all this is the credit of Your Majesty, Your Majesty's troops represent the righteous army, and it is the Heavenly Sect that has been moved, so that there is today's victory. ”

Chunhawang did not forget to take the opportunity to pat the king's ass, and at the same time carefully observed Hamod's reaction. Just as most dynasties were at odds with Chinese and martial arts, in Siam, there were few times when the civil and military forces had a harmonious relationship. In particular, the reason why Chun Hawang left the royal capital and went to the western frontier was the suggestion of Hamod and his ministers, and he hated these people in his bones, just because the king valued these ministers very much, so he had no choice but to deal with them.

But without action, it does not mean that there are no ideas. In the years in Western Xinjiang, Chun Hawang was thinking about revenge all the time, and he was also looking for an opportunity when he came back this time. In his opinion, if he wants to take revenge, the first thing to deal with is this Xiangguo, who has great influence in the court, if he doesn't bring down this mountain, when the war is over, he is afraid that he will have to return to the western Xinjiang to suffer.

Xiangguo Hamod didn't think so much, at least at this moment his mind was all on government affairs, when he heard Chun Hawang say that the war on the front line had begun to develop on the good side, he was really confused, if it weren't for the fact that he knew General Godan, knew that this person was the least good at telling lies, and also resisted reporting false military exploits, he would have doubted the authenticity of this matter.

Even General Gothin said that the battle ahead had been won, and Hammod had to think carefully about what was going on.

From the bottom of his heart, Hammod didn't believe it. A five-star army that was able to defeat the Cochin Kingdom, the Lancang Dynasty, the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and occupied Luzon Island and a large area of the sea, they amazed everyone from the moment they appeared. And how could such an army suddenly have such a low combat effectiveness? This doesn't make sense.

Hammod suddenly stopped talking, didn't say anything, just stood there frowning and thinking about things. All this fell into Chun Hawang's eyes, and it was difficult for him to find his sore feet, so he had no choice but to continue to ask, "Lord Xiangguo?" Why do you seem to be unhappy, are you not happy that the army has won the battle on the front? ”

After this reminder, even the king Yi Liqi paid attention, but out of his usual trust, he still said, "How come, Xiangguo is our Siamese Xiangguo, and it is natural to be happy to hear that the front-line army has won the battle." ”

"Yes, of course I was happy." At this moment, Hammod also reversed his taste and said hurriedly. But after saying these words, he still voiced his doubts, "It's just that the Five-Star Army has always been known for its extraordinary combat power, why did it suddenly become weaker this time?" ”

"Weakened?" Chun Hawang finally seized the opportunity, and immediately said: "How can it become weak? It should be that the strength of our Siamese army is too strong. Under the wise leadership of His Majesty, we have vigorously developed the military, and the treatment and training of the army are the best. Lord Xiangguo, I really don't agree with your statement as a general with troops. ”

Compared with other neighboring countries, the Siamese army is indeed more powerful. But if he could easily defeat the Five-Star Army, Hamod couldn't believe it anyway, he decided that seeing is believing, and he went to the front line to see it in person, as long as what he saw was real. "Your Majesty, the minister volunteered to go to the front line, and I ask for permission."

This is the strength of Hammod, who never easily agrees with the opinions of others, and has to see the results for himself before making a decision. This is also the reason why Eliqi is relieved to use him, so he did not even hesitate and agreed to this request.

Hammod had something on his mind, so he didn't stay long, and when he left, he just said that the envoy of the Five-Star Army had arrived, and before the battle situation was completely decided, he still had to be entertained and withdrew from the palace hall, leaving Chun Hawang to look at the background of his departure, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Your Majesty, he doesn't believe in our army, and he doesn't believe in General Godan." ”

"Hey, General Chun, don't think about it, Xiangguo is such a serious person, it's good to let him take a look, so that you can rest assured." Eliqi was not guided by the words of Chunhawang. And in his heart, there are some people who don't believe in these news, and he also hopes that someone can take a trip, and Hamod's volunteering is exactly what he wants.

Ma Dali, who was in the compound of the envoys, did not know this, and the next morning he did not see Hamod, who was supposed to be here, but on the contrary, everyone was confined to their feet, and considering that the two countries were at war, they were not allowed to leave the compound for fear of repercussions. Fortunately, the food and drink were still delivered in time, otherwise, the minister had to consider whether Siam was going to be poor.

Training on the Northern and Eastern Fronts continued. The situation of the war has not improved as always, and even the 40,000 Lao troops on the northern front and the 50,000 Cambodian troops on the eastern front have already fought for the third time. Relatively speaking, when facing the Siamese army, it will still be defeated, but the defeat will not be so fast, but it is still far from a draw.

At this time, a steady stream of reserve troops arrived, and after several provinces received Yang Chendong's orders, they immediately recruited troops, and one of the attractive policies was also introduced to all the provinces under the jurisdiction of Yang forces. Once they have performed well, they can be promoted, and this temptation makes all the young people of different races who know the strength of Han Min's identity are very tempted.

The opportunity is in front of us, there are few people who don't want to seize it, don't want to try, so there are many reporters, in a short period of time, 200,000 young people have registered, and I heard that this is only a part, and there are more follow-up applicants.

Even if there are so many people who want to sign up, Yang Chendong will certainly not refuse. The Yang system, which has no shortage of food, has never been afraid of too many people, but will only dislike the lack of people. And when the new batch of soldiers arrived, the disadvantage on the battlefield was even more obvious.

In contrast, the morale of the Siamese army was increasing day by day, and successive victories made some of the soldiers flutter. When they found that as long as they encountered the five-star army, they would definitely be the ones who won the victory, although they did not gain much, but they were more or less successful, they could report their military merits, and they could receive silver taels, and everyone became active. Especially when they found that their numbers were too large and often they couldn't find their opponents, when the number was only about two thousand, the five-star army would take the initiative to jump out, and they immediately divided their troops, with two thousand as a unit, so that they could win more small-scale victories.

A small victory is also a victory, isn't there a saying called accumulating a small amount into me, the Siamese army is busy with it, and the good news of victory is there every day, and it is sent to the hands of the general commander, and it happens to be seen by the Xiangguo Hamod who came here to understand the actual situation.

The battle report was real, and from time to time the corpses of some Five Star Army soldiers were sent back, which could not be faked, all of which left Hammod speechless. Even if even the Siamese army in the east had achieved such a great victory, and with the Gotin general in the north, there was nothing to doubt about the results.

What the hell is going on? Is it true that the strength of the five-star army is not strong under the continuous expansion? Or maybe their level was very average, but they were just mythical. Hamod couldn't figure out this question, but he didn't have to think about it, even if he won on the battlefield, there would be nothing to fear, he still had to return to the royal capital immediately to restore his life, and at the same time, he had to change his strategy against the five-star army in the future.

Negotiations can be discussed, but how to negotiate, and even this time it is not to make concessions yourself, but to force the other side to make concessions and how many parties to consider it.

Hammod left satisfied, and on the morning of his departure, news came from the Security Bureau. Yang San had already arranged for the lark to recuperate in Chiji City to come to Siam and re-manage the situation here. With the mistake of the golden rooster Wu Gui in front, of course, the lark did not dare to have a trace of slackness and relaxation, and secretly kept an eye on the situation very closely.

"Gone? Hehe, it's time to win a few battles to boost morale. After reading the report of the Security Bureau, Yang Chendong said happily to Yang Er beside him, "Have you counted the number of qualified sergeants in the past twenty days?" ”

"Young master, the three division commanders Tian Hu, Xiao Yining and Lu Zhuo have reported data every day, and as of last night, there are about 35,000 soldiers who can be called veterans." Yang Er quickly replied, and it could be seen that following Yang Chendong's side, he had learned a lot.

"Oh? This number is not low. Yang Chendong seemed to be surprised, and silently calculated in his heart, he had tempered nearly two thousand soldiers every day, which was the benefit of actual combat. Survival of the fittest, war has the final say, facts have the final say, and between life and death, human potential can often be brought into full play.

With a plan in his heart, Yang Chendong spoke again: "That's the case, inform the three division commanders that they can adopt the strategy of bringing the old with the new, and among the two thousand people sent, you can choose 500 veterans to bring 1,500 recruits, and if there are outstanding performers among the veterans, you can gather together, and according to their performance, the young master will give them a boost, and according to their performance, see whether they will enter the first-class corps or the B-level corps, so as to be a supplementary candidate for each army and division." ”
