For the people of the Ming Dynasty, Siam not only has preferential treatment in the area where they live, but also various other preferential treatment, and the Chinese can not only engage in various occupations, but more specially, they can even enter the court as officials, and this is not only a diplomatic merit. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At that time, the king of Siam was still the emperor of his own people, and only called the king of China, and there was a very important reason for the tolerance of the Chinese was that Zheng He's fleet shocked Siam too much.

At that time, a large number of Chinese settled in Siam with the fleet of the Three Treasures, and Zheng He also built a worship temple in Siam, and there is still a temple in Bangkok to enshrine the statue of Zheng He, but Zheng He has become a Buddhist shape, I don't know how he feels as a devout Muslim, but this also confirms his influence in Siam.

Coupled with the Chinese hard work, vigorously develop the role of the economy, the Siamese court attitude towards the Chinese has always been tolerant, when the current Siamese king Narui announced the army, a large number of Chinese traders joined the army to help Siam restore the country together, so Siam is grateful to the favor, will repeatedly ask the Ming during the Korean battle, want to assist the Ming war.

But the Siamese people who are accustomed to the tropical rainforest climate went to the north, and in that cold and freezing state, it is still a question whether they can fight, so the Ming did not agree due to various considerations, which made Siam very regretful, and now, they have another chance to perform, and they will not refuse the opportunity no matter what.

The feud between Siam and the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma is too deep, King Narui Xuan was a hostage under the Burmese king Mang Yinglong, and he could still save his life, but Mang Yinglong's son Mang Yingli was thinking about him all the time to his death, so when Mang Yinglong died, after Mang Yingli ascended the throne, King Narui Xuan had to raise the banner of resistance, and defeated the power of the Burmese in one fell swoop, and was able to restore the country.

During the previous Ming and Burmese Wars, due to the fighting of the Ming Dynasty's army, Mang Yingli had to put the main force in the north of Yunnan to confront the Ming army, and relatively, the pressure on King Narui Xuan was greatly reduced, in this case, it is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty indirectly helped Siam, Siam is also very grateful for this, and now the Ming Dynasty can not bear to pacify the Dongwu Kingdom in one fell swoop, for Siam, of course, it is a very good news.

"Therefore, the Siamese people will never refuse, but will also eat pot pulp to welcome the king, will also send troops to help the king, and will also find reliable guides and translators to lead the way for the Ming king, this time, the Ming king will definitely not have to worry about getting lost, and there is no need to worry about running out of food to eat!"

Shi Xing from the Siam Pavilion in the Siam Pavilion to find the Siamese interpreter Wang Benhe is a very familiar with Siam businessman's son, when he was young, he went to Siam with his father repeatedly to do business, and later in order to avoid the war and returned to the Ming Dynasty, he found an errand in the Siyi Pavilion, and he was very familiar with all aspects of Siam, he was valued, this time the Ming sent troops to the cave Wuguo, Wang Benhe was found by Shi Xing, and then appointed as the interpreter of the army, Wang Benhe gladly agreed.

He told Shi Xing and Xiao Ruxun a substantial Siamese reality, and analyzed Siam's friendliness to the Ming Dynasty from many angles and the correctness of the Ming Dynasty's choice of Siam as a helper in this war, which opened the door to a new world for Xiao Ruxun, indeed, Xiao Ruxun never knew that Siam was so friendly to the Ming Dynasty, if this is the case, the Ming Dynasty must be like a fish in water in this battle.

"Then, Wang Tongyi, this governor asks you again, whether the Siamese are good at firearms?"

Xiao Ruxun asked.

Wang Benhe said: "Siamese people can't say whether they are good at firearms, but they are proficient in firearms, and their proficiency is even above my Ming army, in the Ming army, I am afraid that only the Ningxia firearms battalion of the admiral can be compared with it, and the rest of the armies are indescribable." ”

Xiao Ruxun was moved: "Oh? Is there such a thing? You elaborate. ”

Wang Benhe nodded and said: "Not only Siam, but also Dongwu State, because they are located in the south and near the sea, they have contact with the Francoji people earlier than the Ming Dynasty, because the two countries are often at war, so they need sophisticated weapons, and the Francoji people are greedy for money, and when they see that there is war money to be made, they sell a large number of firearms to Dongwu and Siam, and even accept the employment of the two countries to help the two countries fight on the battlefield, or teach the soldiers of the two countries to use firearms."

Now not only Dongwu country, but also Siam, the armies of these two countries have the Francophone people and the Xiyi people from other countries different from the Francoji as firearms instructors, teaching them to use firearms, manufacturing firearms, Xiaguan has witnessed the Siamese people using firearms to fight when they were young, and their firearms are sharp, and the artillery is strong, all of which are not under my Ming Dynasty, but what is lacking is only the strength of troops and national strength, and they are not under the Ming Dynasty when it comes to firearms alone. ”

After saying this, not only Shi Xing was moved, but many difficult points in Xiao Ruxun's mind were instantly swept away.

None of these foreigners who have come to the other side of the ocean far from home are good people, they are all outlaws who can sell everything except their lives for money, as long as they are given money, what else will they not sell? I am worried about this and that, and I can't get technical barriers, but if I can get it from those foreign mercenaries in Siam and Dongwu through buying and selling, wouldn't it be wonderful?

Why fight with the Spaniards, in addition to the Spaniards in Southeast Asia, during this period, there were also the Portuguese, the Dutch, and even the French and British, the firearms they mastered were undoubtedly the latest, and they also mastered the use of firearms, systematic training methods, which was lacking in the Ming army and Xiao Ruxun.

Firearms are the product of science, if you want to use them, naturally you also need scientific methods, such as crosshairs and illumination, which are not available in the Ming Dynasty, such as ballistic theory and rifling, which are also not available in the Ming Dynasty, how to use firearms scientifically to form a strong continuous firepower, these are what Xiao Ruxun urgently needs, there is no doubt that in this battle, Xiao Ruxun can get countless things he wants.

Xiao Ruxun became more and more urgent.

"In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Siamese people is not to be underestimated, and the Dongwu country is not easy to deal with, so good at using firearms, it also means that firearms can also be used very well in the south, that Ji Xin, the old man still gives you a batch of bird guns and Francophone guns in more batches, just in case, and you can let the Siamese send more soldiers and horses to help the war, you don't know the Siamese and the Dongwu people, you should be more careful."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.
