Siam in the 17th century coincided with the historical Ayutthaya Dynasty, also known as the Ayutthaya Dynasty. Founded in 1350 and destroyed by Burma in 1767, it lasted 417 years and passed down to 35 kings. At the height of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, its ruling power extended to the kingdom of Dalannathay in the north, Luk Kon in the Malay Peninsula in the south, Luang Prabang in Laos in the east, and Tanah Salin in the west.

At this time, during the reign of King Basethorn, he strengthened the royal monopoly of trade, with the king monopolizing trade, setting up warehouses in the palace, collecting private goods, and transporting them overseas by the royal family. The king has the right of first refusal to purchase imported goods, which are then sold to the private sector.

However, if King Basaitong wanted to develop foreign trade, he had to rely on the help of overseas merchants. Because the Japanese participated in the palace coup d'état of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, after King Bassetton ascended the throne, he burned the Japanese town and expelled the Japanese in Ayutthaya, and he could not trust the Western colonists, so King Bassetton made the Chinese as the agents of the royal family Jia and the ocean-going shipholders.

After the Far East occupied Luzon and Nanyang, the status of Chinese merchants in Siam was even higher. The rice and other supplies purchased by the Far East in Siam were organized by Chinese merchants and shipowners to help King Basaitong trade in Manila, and then loaded with goods and shipped back to Siam.

As the purchase of Siamese rice from the Far East increased year by year, King Basaitong also increased the rice trade between Siam and the Far East. However, due to the constraints of sea transport capacity, there is still a lot of potential for the rice purchased from Siam every year.

In the early 17th century, Bangkok was a small fishing village, but through the efforts of generations of Ayutthaya kings, Bangkok was strategically located on a small island in the Chao Phraya River and became a thriving commodity distribution center.

On this calm day, a coastal patrol ship of the Siamese Navy was cruising around the waters near Bangkok. The captain was sitting leisurely on the deck basking in the sun. He turned his head to look at the horizon in the distance. Admire the rare calm of the sea.

Suddenly, he noticed that a section of mast appeared faintly on the line between the sea and the sky in the distance, growing larger and larger until half of the sail was exposed. He immediately stood up and shouted to the lazy sailors on deck: "Get up...... Get up...... There's a boat coming......"

The sailors on the deck, who had been lazy just a moment ago, suddenly came to their senses. Another "fat sheep" is coming, how can you get some oil and water? The patrol ships off the coast of the Siamese Navy Division are no different from the patrol ships of all countries in this era, and they are all the virtues of goose plucking.

"Raise the sail...... Sail ...... Rush up on me......"

The thin, dark-looking captain shouted excitedly, his eyes shining. At this time, they can take advantage of the excuse of boarding the ship to inspect the ship, and deduct some pocket money from the shipowner. So all the sailors on the ship worked very hard.

They were getting closer and closer to that ship. The sail also revealed its true face, a large snow-white soft sail. The captain took out a single-hole telescope and looked at the ship in the distance, and found that the hull and sail were the same snow-white, and the speed of the ship was extremely fast, with his many years of experience floating on the sea, it was definitely faster than all the ships he had ever seen, including the galleons of the Western Yiren. It's also impossible to catch up.

Just when he wondered if the ship had stopped. He noticed that several more masts were showing off at the sea level in the distance, and a huge snow-white sail was gradually revealed, and the captain, who was about to go up and scrape some oil, also beat a drum in his heart.

Where did this fleet come from, and they were all ships that were so fast. If they were pirates, a couple of sailing ships so fast. If it was off the coast of Siam, the merchant ships of the Ayutthaya Dynasty might not even dare to go down to the sea. Even if the sailor is dispatched, he can only follow behind the ass of the people and watch them gallop away.

These ships were so fast that the one at the head of the ship collided with them. The sailors on board were so frightened that they shouted. A group of sailors desperately turned the rudder, but the ship coming from the opposite side had almost rushed in front of them.

It was only then that a group of sailors on board reacted, and the captain also began to shout: "Turn the rudder...... Rudder ......"

But before the ship could turn around, the snow-white sailboat had already rushed to a distance of dozens of meters from them. The sailors on board were immediately confused, and left their posts one after another, finding a safe place to lie on the deck, and some simply jumped into the sea.

The captain didn't hide from it, he just stared blankly at the speeding sailboat, and his heart was almost desperate. According to his years of experience, such a fast speed, and such a close distance, no matter how to maneuver the ship, it is inevitable that they will collide.

The sailboat on the other side was several times the size of their ship, and their patrol ship was less than 300 yuan, and if it did, their ship would definitely be torn apart by the collision, and the ship would be destroyed.

Just as the sailors on the ship were waiting for the moment when the two ships collided, the ship that was approaching them at great speed suddenly changed direction, and the hull of the ship was almost tilted to an incredible angle, and it roared past more than ten meters next to the Siam cruiser.

The captain of the Siamese cruiser has straight eyes, what kind of situation is this, unscientific!

The sailors on the ship also got up from the deck one after another, looking at the snow-white sails that sailed past them stupidly, all of them were full of confusion, why didn't it hit it, why didn't it hit it......

Several snow-white sailboats followed by them, and they all roared past. The sailors on the ship could clearly see the scene on the opposite ship, only to see the heavily armed sailors on the ship, looking at them expressionlessly.

The captain of the Siamese cruiser sensed something was wrong and was just about to beckon the sailors to return home. But in the distance, another mast appeared on the horizon, and as this mast grew larger, more masts appeared next to it.

Huge sails slowly emerged from the horizon, and huge sailboats gradually revealed their true colors. The sailors of the Siamese cruiser had forgotten about the return voyage, and they looked at the huge sailing ships in the distance in amazement, and lamented in their hearts that even if they wanted to escape, they would not be able to escape this time.

More and more sailboats came by, whizzing past the Siamese cruisers, and the captain and the sailors on board simply did not run away, quietly waiting for each other's disposition. However, dozens of warships passed by them, ignoring them in the slightest, and the officers and men on the opposing ship only occasionally glanced at them coldly, and then turned their heads without interest.

The captain of the Siamese cruiser knew very well in his heart that no matter which country's fleet this was, since he came here, he must have come for the Ayutthaya Dynasty, this fleet is so huge, not to mention the sailors of Ayutthaya, even the elite army of the dynasty may not be the opponent of others, they can only ask the Buddha for blessing now.

"Mom......"

Suddenly, one of the sailors on deck shouted, startling the sailors on board, and the captain was also frightened, and he turned around and yelled: "You shout a fart, you want to scare us to death......

"Captain...... You...... Look......"

Hearing the sailor's stumbling words, the captain slowly turned his head to look into the distance, which was good, and he was so frightened that he sat down on the deck, and muttered dreamily, "My mother, ......" (to be continued......
