Zheng Tong and Feng Tu held the text of the treaty with trembling hands, their hearts full of humiliation and anger. If the Siamese Ayutthaya dynasty signs this treaty, it will put the dynasty in an extremely dangerous situation and undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Thailand.

The treaty's provisions on consular jurisdiction undermined the independence of the judiciary in Siam. At the same time, a series of provisions on tariffs, free trade, and free mining in the agreement actually deprived Siam of its tariff autonomy, broke the foreign trade monopoly policy consistently pursued by the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and facilitated the wanton plundering of Siam by Far Eastern industrial and commercial capital. The treaty also opened the door to future invasions of the Far East.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw the state of the two. The treaty made by this guy Zhou Billy is really ruthless. Once the Ayutthaya dynasty signed this treaty with the Far East, Siam would gradually become a semi-colony in the Far East.

Zheng Tong took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "General, with all due respect, I have read this treaty word by word several times, but I have not found a single word that is beneficial to my Ayutthaya Dynasty, can the general solve my doubts?" ”

Zhou Cheng listened to Zheng Tong's words, and his face suddenly sank: "Can you now represent King Baseton and negotiate this treaty with our Far East?" ”

Zheng Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

Zhou Cheng sneered: "Then what's the use of saying this, what you should do is to bring this treaty back and hand it over to your King Baseton, as for whether it is beneficial to the Ayutthaya Dynasty, he will make a more appropriate judgment than him, and the rest will not bother the two of you." ”

Zheng Tong was choked by Zhou Cheng's words and didn't react for a long time.

Feng Tu next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and he said in a deep voice: "The Far East crisscrosses the four seas, sweeping the Nanyang Zhuyi, showing my great power in China." But the Far East is also like overseas barbarians? Only know barbaric plunder, oppression. Why don't you inspire and educate overseas barbarians, so that all overseas people can convince me Huaxia Weide. This treaty must have been read by the military, and its provisions are all tramples on the sovereignty of our Ayutthaya dynasty.

Although my Feng family has been floating in foreign countries for several generations, they have also spread my Chinese benevolence all the time, and the Siam kings of all generations have admired my Chinese Heavenly Dynasty incomparably. More than 100 envoys were sent to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, hoping to wait until the canonization of the Chinese Celestial Empire, and the Siamese kings of the past dynasties also deeply felt the kindness of the Celestial Empire. General, can't the Far East be like the Ming Dynasty, convince people with virtue and prestige all over the world? ”

Zhou Cheng listened to Feng Tu's words, and a trace of sadness was inexplicably born in his heart.

He didn't blame Feng Tu, not only he would think so, even if Zheng He went to the West back then. Decades earlier than the voyage time of European countries, it is a direct reflection of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Far more than nearly a century of navigators in Portugal, Spain and other countries, such as Magellan, Columbus, da Gama and others, can be called the pioneers of the "Age of Discovery".

History of the Ming Dynasty. The Biography of Zheng He recorded: "And I want to show off my troops in a foreign land and show that China is rich and strong." Western countries will of course have a sense of trembling and trembling at Zheng He's huge hundreds of huge ships and tens of thousands of soldiers approaching their seas.

It can be the Chinese Dynasty in successive dynasties. They are all far from the sea and living in loess, China's politics, economy and military. The culture and thinking of the Chinese people are all rich in earthy color.

China's long history of warfare is almost a thorough history of land warfare. The chapter of naval warfare is monotonous and pathetic, except for the illusory glory of Zheng He's sleepwalking, only the brilliant and short-lived glory of the Zheng pirates. The only naval battle against a foreign enemy went down in history with the destruction of the entire navy. This defeat also led directly to the collapse of China's last feudal dynasty.

China has an island chain in the east as a protective barrier, and in the west, there are no worries about a strong country. Heading south can lead directly to the Indian Ocean unimpeded. The geography is so superior, but after a few hundred years, it will actually make people blocked in the South China Sea, like a dragon trapped in the shallows. Until they came to this era, China was still trying to break free from the shackles that bound them.

China is facing the advance of the maritime peoples. Not to mention the loss of all the vassal states in the cultural circle for 2,000 years, it also lost more than 5 million square kilometers of land in the mainland and millions of square kilometers of sea in the southeast.

And the places that have been lost in China contain enough coal, crude oil, forests, and other minerals to last for hundreds of years in today's industrial age. However, now China wants to buy back the minerals from these places that belong to it, and it has to go through a lot of trouble and still be unsatisfactory.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cheng smiled and said to the two opposite: "This treaty is the bottom line of our Far East Company, what the two of you need to do is to hand it over to King Baseton, as for how he chooses, it is none of your business." I'm busy, so I won't accompany the two of you......"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the room with everyone from the fleet headquarters, leaving Zheng Tong and Feng Tu with pale faces. Looking at the backs of Zhou Cheng and the others, Zheng Tong closed his eyes, sighed and said: "I didn't expect the Far East to be so arrogant and domineering, it seems that Siam will have a difficult time in the future." ”

Feng Tu's face was pale, and his body was already drenched in cold sweat. The words he said on impulse just now are also afraid, after all, he has also heard of the murderous reputation of the Far East. Fortunately, the Far Eastern general on the opposite side did not have the same knowledge as him. It seems that although the Far East is brutal and ferocious to foreign races, it is still more reliable to be more tolerant of the Chinese race.

"Elder Zheng, let's go back and report to the king, the king doesn't know what to think when he sees this treaty. I'm afraid that Siam will be in trouble in the future, hehe...... Not only Siam, but also the Ming Dynasty. The ambitions of the Far East have been clearly revealed, and the banks may not be able to escape the clutches of the Far East. ”

The two left the Far East Fleet in despair and rushed back to Ayutthaya overnight. At this time, tens of thousands of elites of the Ayutthaya Dynasty had gathered around Ayutthaya and were preparing for the military dispatch to Bangkok.

When King Bassetton learned of their return, he hurriedly summoned them to the palace and inquired about the negotiations. When King Baseton took over the Far Eastern treaty from Zheng Tong, he was furious after reading only two of them.

"The Far East is simply too deceitful......"

He tore up the text of the treaty and smashed several precious Ming porcelain, which could be regarded as calming down. But at this moment, King Baseton had lost his mind, and he immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the dynasty and announced to them this treaty in the Far East.

The result instantly detonated the emotions of all the people of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and they made an enthusiastic plea to declare war on the Far East. King Basetun immediately announced his decision to lead the elite of the Siamese nation to fight to the death in the Far East, preferring to fight to the death with a single soldier than to sign this humiliating treaty.
