Chapter 926: Spanish Navy
The sound of breaking the air came from behind, if Hun Sen had been alert before, but now everyone else is going crazy, the war horse has been provoked and is galloping, where can I still feel this, he who was riding on the horse suddenly felt a deep pain in his back, and then the qi and blood in his whole body were not smooth, and the strength in his body began to be emptied, and his eyes became weak.
When he was dying, Hun Sen did not forget to stretch out his arm forward and stretch out in the direction of Phnom Penh City, and then fell down with a bang, and Hun Sen died
Hun Sen was killed in battle, and his body was picked up by the Ku Po Er, who arrived later, and carried on horseback, and the army returned triumphantly. This time, he was killed with pleasure, and he regained the feeling that he was galloping thousands of miles on the grassland without being defeated, and all of this was brought to him by the First Division of the Cavalry in the world, and it was all brought to him by Yang Chendong.
In this battle, more than 10,000 enemies were killed, 30,000 were captured, and 10,000 escaped. Under such a record, the combined losses of the Fourth Division of Leng Feng and the First Division of the First Cavalry Division of the World were only less than 100 casualties.
Yang Chendong, who came later, held a celebration meeting on this land, and in front of the 8,000 auxiliaries, 8,000 Lao troops, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who followed, he vigorously performed the 1st Division of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 4th Division of Leng Feng. As soon as he waved, five wagons full of silver blooms were pushed out, these were the rewards he gave to the two divisions.
After chasing dozens of miles, the head of the regiment who killed Hun Sen was praised by Yang Chendong, and was awarded a personal second-class merit and a gold medal. He also became the first knight in the first cavalry division of the world to receive this honor.
Suddenly, she received the medal from Yang Chendong's hand with tears, and then continued to express her thanks, starting from the fact that she was a general and a general of the defeated army. For a person of his status, it is said that it will be difficult for him to have any future after he dies. But the mercenaries here don't look at your past at all, only look at your current performance, and Ku Xiao'er has regained his second spring, and his deeds will soon spread in this land.
At the end of his speech, Ku Xiao'er also thanked his division commander Tian Hu. Because at the earliest, Tian Hu first set his sights on Hun Sen, but he gave himself the opportunity to pursue the enemy and make meritorious contributions. With this article, as a subordinate, he was convinced.
Similarly, this incident also highlights Tian Hu's general's style. A truly qualified general should be like Tian Hu, who knows that he can give credit to his subordinates, so that he can also get merit and receive the gratitude and loyalty of his subordinates.
The silver was distributed on the spot and delivered to the hands of every meritorious soldier. This scene was clearly seen by others, and at this moment it was not only the envy of the auxiliary soldiers and the Lao army, but also the envy of many young men of the Phnom Penh Dynasty who were mixed with the people.
They have already known from what Ku Xiao'er said just now that this is a defeated general, and he has been defeated many times, and such people can be reused, what are they missing, as long as they are willing to work hard, isn't there the same chance At present, many people began to inquire whether the mercenaries were still recruiting, and they expressed their intention to join.
After Yang Er learned of this situation, he immediately reported to Yang Chendong, and then said with a look of admiration, "Young Master, you are so powerful, you defeated their country, not only do they not hate you, but they still want to enlist in the army and serve you." ”
"That's because I can give them what the Phnom Penh dynasty couldn't give them before. Yang Er, you remember, the people will always be like this, whoever is good to them, they will be close to whom. They do not have a long history and cultural heritage, and the national concept in their hearts is not very strong, as long as they can ensure that they live a good life in the future, they will not be our enemies, but will be used by us. Yang Chendong said with emotion.
For a while, he thought about the attack on China by little Japan during World War II. At that time, it was not only China that was attacked, but many nearby countries were also attacked. But it turns out that only the Chinese are constantly resisting, and those small surrounding countries surrender as soon as they are occupied, which is the essence of the Han people, because we have a longer history and too many places to be proud of, then we are destined not to allow foreign races to override us.
This is the pride of the Han people, and it is also the pride of Yang Chendong, and what he has to do next is to continue this pride and carry it forward, so that it will be more glorious and magnificent.
"Let's go, leave it here for those auxiliaries and the people to clean up, and the main force will march towards Polo Mian City" waved his hand, and the pace of progress opened again.
In Phnom Penh, the news of Hun Sen's defeat and killing came, which brought huge damage and destruction to the royal capital like an earthquake.
Originally, the minds of some of the main battle factions began to waver, and some of the main and factions began to gradually gain the upper hand.
After several major battles, the 50,000 sailors of the Phnom Penh Dynasty were destroyed and most of them were captured; The army lost 150,000 soldiers, and in addition to the 100,000 men who resisted the mercenary naval forces in the south, only 60,000 horses remained in the royal capital.
This strength is not enough to defend the royal city, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty at this moment has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
In the royal palace, King Porama is scolding, "When will the reinforcements from Siam and Ava arrive?"
"Your Majesty, the news has already spread, they are protesting to Lao Province, and they are also preparing to send troops, but the war came too suddenly, and they need time to prepare." Zuo Prime Minister Ding Dingwei has only been a few days, and he has become much more talented, and he has hardly slept in the past few days, and he needs to worry about all the things of recruitment, defense, and troop deployment, and even do everything himself.
People say that when a country lives and dies, it will also appear that there are few people available and few loyal people.
"Protest ready hahaha." Polamo laughed maniacally and shook his head, "It's too late, it's too late." ”
With the current mercenary attack, I am afraid that it will not take more than ten days to reach the foot of the royal capital, and soon this place will also fall into the flames of war. What's the point of the reinforcements arriving after that?" said that the Spanish ships had agreed to their previous request, but that he would help us get the mercenaries out. ”
"Your Majesty." Ding Dingwei was shocked when he heard this, then raised his head, looked at Poramo with incredible eyes, and said, "Spain is also a wolf ambition, they say they want to rent our city on the surface, but in fact, they want to wedge a nail in our territory, and they will only slowly eat away at us in the future." ”
"This king knows, this king knows. But
Do we still have a choice now, and the harm of Spain will only happen later, but now that the mercenaries have been killed in front of us, if there is no way, we will lose the country, the country. Tears welled up in Poramo's eyes. One is a wolf and the other is a tiger, how difficult it is for him to be caught in it. And now, in order to drive away the tiger, he can only take the initiative to bring the evil wolf into the door.
Ding Dingwei still wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak. As the left minister of a country, the person who believes in the king the most, he really wants to relieve the king's worries and do something for the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but the situation is like this, how can he reverse it by himself? At this moment, he only sighed lightly, shook his head, and looked unbearable and hateful. Hate yourself for not being able to solve it all.
"Zuo Xiang, before the arrival of the Spanish army, the king must hold it, this is our last hole card." Paramo said as if he had lost his strength.
"Yes." Ding Dingwei nodded, this time the loss of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is too great, if it can resist this ordeal, the next thing is to make great efforts, vigorously reform, develop commerce and military, no matter what, we must find a way to become stronger, otherwise, backwardness will be beaten.
The carrier pigeon flew out of the royal palace and flew straight into the hands of the Phnom Penh emissary Kemoy, who had been staying in the Spanish warship.
Looking at the edict written by the king himself, Kemoyi's face first showed a look of pain, and then he sorted out his thoughts, adjusted to the best state, and strode towards the main cabin of the warship not far away.
Miguel, the envoy and admiral appointed by King Juan II of Spain, was chatting with Vice Admiral Cruz in the cabin of the ship, and the conversation was naturally about the current situation.
At this time, the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal were both Western powers, and there were no hegemonic countries such as the United States, so they represented hegemony. Although the future king Isabel was only three years old, and it was impossible to marry Fernando, the prince of Aragon, and the two kingdoms of Castile and Aragon did not marry, and there was no final unification, but Spain was already very strong at this time.
Like the Portuguese, following the mercenary ships, they crossed the Pacific Ocean and came to the Eastern World, where civilized humanity was discovered decades earlier, and at the same time their ambitions began to be exposed decades earlier.
General Miguel, as a special envoy, soon became obsessed with the Eastern world after discovering it. He found that silk, porcelain, tea, etc. are not available and in short supply in the Western world now, and he found that there are too many novelties and various commodities in the city, and he found that the weapons here are very backward, and they are still swords in the cold weapon period, far less than the muskets and artillery they use now, he found
After too many discoveries, his selfishness also became inflated, and the idea of wanting to use good things for himself suddenly appeared, and his eyes naturally fell on the weak Phnom Penh dynasty.
Through understanding, Miguel found that although the countries of the eastern world were of average strength, they were all populous, and it was almost impossible to claim hegemony with 2,000 soldiers with the twenty warships he brought. And if you want to gain a foothold here, the first step is to occupy a place first, and slowly expand and develop outward with the help of this place.
