***

Siam was originally called Siam Hu, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang named King Ayutthaya as the "King of Siam", and the name Siam was officially fixed.

On the whole, Siam has always been more submissive to China, unlike Jiaozhi, and has always been capricious.

There are many Han people in the capital of Siam, and the Han people call the capital city of Ayutthaya as Ayutthaya, so Siam is also called Ayutthaya Dynasty;

The Siamese people admired the Han people very much, and when the Han people came to their homes, they would always let their wives come out to entertain them, and if the Han people took a fancy to his wife, he would go to others and proclaim to others: "I am a beautiful woman, and I am also pleased by the Chinese." "Be proud of it.

No matter what you do, you always need a plausible reason to justify it. The attack on Sulu, Boni, Dongwu, and Jiaozhi was all because they were enemies of Great Qin first, and now they are justified in sending troops to attack.

Then Siam has always been very submissive, and if it wants to attack, there is really no justification for a while.

Di Zhongxing was asked by Qin Mu, so he replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to keep Siam, and when Daqin knocks down the Malay Peninsula, Dongwu, and Jiaozhi, Siam will be equivalent to a country within a country, and it doesn't hurt to keep it as an embellishment." ”

Di Zhongxing's statement moved Qin Mu, Great Qin is now vigorously expanding, so that other small countries can see all the fierce side of Great Qin, if you keep Siam and help it restore the country, this kind of benevolent and righteous move can resist the strength brought by expansion;

Let other countries believe that Great Qin is not only fierce, as long as he is obedient to Great Qin, he can not only keep the country, but also get the protection of Great Qin.

Qin Mu nodded and said, "In this way, good people will do it to the end, and let the South China Sea Fleet allocate a few hundred troops to directly help Siam restore the country." However, "

When Qin Mu said this, he asked Di Zhong to walk close to the globe, and then pointed to the narrowest strip of southern Siam that stretched into the Malay Peninsula and said, "After helping Siam to restore the country, I would rather give him a little more land in the north." But here, this narrow strip must be given up to Siam and belong to my Great Qin. ”

In this regard, Di Zhongxing actually couldn't understand why the emperor bothered to ask for this narrow strip, but the emperor knew that there was a gold mine or something there, so he didn't ask much and agreed to it.

In fact, it is not a gold mine, Qin Mu is taking precautions, this narrow area stretching into the Malay Peninsula. In the future, after the development of science and technology, it will be possible to dig canals to connect the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

After excavation, the voyage from the South China Sea into the Indian Ocean can be shortened by thousands of nautical miles.

After the Great Qin controlled the Strait of Malacca, it could not be excavated, but it could not be allowed to be excavated by others, so it was necessary to include this narrow area in the territory of Great Qin.

Qin Mu continued: "In addition, the western part of Siam should also be included in the territory of Great Qin, even if it is only a long and narrow strip of land. First, Siam should not be allowed to have an outlet to the Indian Ocean, and second, it is necessary to ensure that after the Dongwu Kingdom is conquered in the future, Daqin will have a direct land passage to the Malay Peninsula. ”

Qin Mu remembered it clearly. Later, China wanted to build a Trans-Asian Railway from Yunnan and Guangxi in China through the entire Indochina Peninsula to Singapore. However, because of the extremely important strategic role of this railway, there are many obstacles and it has not been implemented for a long time.

for the future. Even if he kept Siam, he could not let his land cut off the Great Qin Bengui from the Malay Peninsula.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that at present, Siam's territory has not expanded into the Indian Ocean, and a narrow north-south passage to the west of it has always been controlled by the Dongwu State. After my Great Qin conquered Dongwu, the territory facing the coastline on the Indian Ocean side is also my Great Qin's, so that it can be extended from Yunnan all the way to Temasek. ”

"That's okay, then keep Siam as an embellishment of Daqin, a North Korea in the north, a Siam in the south, all of them are my Daqin to help him restore the country, and he is benevolent and righteous."

"My Emperor Shengming." Di Zhongxing saluted, "I don't know what else His Majesty commands?" ”

"Not for the time being, let the Royal Navy set off as much as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After sending Di Zhongxing away, Qin Mu examined the globe alone for a long time, and he intended to use foreign wars to divert the attention of domestic officials and people and reduce the resistance to reform.

Only after the completion of the judicial reform can we further improve the administrative structure, separating the legislative, law enforcement, procuratorial, and judicial powers, and making them independent of the local administrative powers. Then, we should improve the performance appraisal system for officials, implement the registration of officials' assets, implement a lifelong accountability system, promote the openness and transparency of local administration, and set up a corresponding supervision system to prevent corruption of officials.

This is closely linked, and even the supervision mechanism is not perfect, and everything else is fake.

Now Great Qin is once again facing a situation of fighting on three sides, but Li Ding's 50,000 Mongol army in the north and Su Jin's 30,000 Tubo army in the west do not need to worry about the imperial court. It also doesn't attract much attention from the government and the public.

Therefore, it is necessary for the southwest to make the momentum a little bigger, so that the navy can launch a full-scale attack on the Indochina Peninsula, and fight wherever it can, this kind of war is similar to Western colonization, and it does not require the imperial court to invest anything, on the contrary, it will earn back a lot of money for the imperial court.

The only ones left are Cui Feng in Yunnan and Ma Liuliang in Guangxi, and these two places will burn a lot of money. And they are all places with high mountains and dense forests, and it is not easy to fight.

What's more, Mu Tianbo has played the banner of the third prince of Zhu, this battle must be fought, fought fiercely, otherwise letting this banner be planted in Yunnan will inevitably cause a lot of trouble to Daqin.

Cui Feng, who is the general of the expedition to the south, also has a clear understanding of this, and since Mu Tianbo played the banner of Zhu Cihuan, he has been reporting to the imperial court while actively preparing for war.

He successively mobilized 20,000 Tusi troops from eight or nine Tusi such as Wuding, Yao'an, Maitreya, and Hequ, plus 20,000 Qin troops, with Bai Wenxuan as the vanguard general, and pressed towards the Baoshan that Mu Tianbo was defending.

From Dali to the south, through Baoshan, Mangshi Division, Longchuan, after the Hanlong Pass, is the Dongwu country, now several states south of Baoshan are under the control of Mutian Bo, and the Dongwu country has become one.

Seeing that Cui Feng began to mobilize the army, Mu Tianbo knew that something was wrong, and urgently sent someone to ask for help from Dongwu Kingdom.

Emperor Daqin had already issued an edict against Dongwu Kingdom, and Talong, the king of Dongwu, naturally knew the truth of cold lips and teeth. If Mu Tianbo is exterminated, the Dongwu Kingdom will have to directly face the powerful Qin army;

In order to keep Mu Tianbo as a barrier, Ta Long once again sent an army of 20,000 into Yunnan to support Mu Tianbo, and sent the most warlike prince Ping Dali to lead the army.

After Cui Feng's 40,000 troops arrived in Dali, he took a short rest and continued south;

Along the way, Yao An Tusi Jili frequently complained, because among the various Tusi, he was not only transferred the most troops, but also had to prepare his own grain and grass.

In the big tent, Ji Li, who had a bird feather in his head, was scolding and scolding with half of his bare arms: "Miao Xi, that coward, cowering obscenely, didn't dare to come out to speak, it's really damned." ”

Wu Jushan, the strategist beside him, drank tea and said: "The big boss doesn't need to pay attention to him, we have sent the most troops this time, and there is news from the south, Ta Long has sent 20,000 troops to reinforce Mu Tianbo, the big enemy is current, Cui Feng has to rely on the leader, he will not dare to do anything to the big leader, I estimate that tomorrow he will have to obediently send the grain and grass to the big leader." ”

This time, I didn't get any echoes from other toasts, and to be honest, Geely was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Cui Feng is not a good master, in the past two years in Yunnan, which toast is a little disobedient, he immediately ordered other toasts to attack, and after the defeat, let everyone divide the seizure equally, and seven toasts have been destroyed before and after.

After listening to Wu Jushan's words, he was relieved a lot and decided to hold on.

In Cui Feng's big tent, Bai Wenxuan, Chen Ruizheng, Chen Guimin and other generals were furious, and they all shouted for Cui Feng to win the auspicious beheading.

Song Qing stopped: "General, at this time, I am afraid that the army of 20,000 Tusi will get out of control, and before this battle starts, I will be in chaos first, what's wrong?" ”

Cui Feng's eyes swept away, and he said coldly: "Geely, he thought that he could blackmail the general at this time, then he made a miscalculation, and the general wanted to see who dared to follow him." ”

Song Qing hurriedly said: "General, give them a little grain and grass inappropriately, as the saying goes, the emperor is not a hungry soldier, give him a little gagged, solve Mu Tianbo first, and then talk about it, and then it's not too late to turn around and accept him." ”

Cui Feng immediately said: "You have also seen this broken road, it is so difficult to transport grain and grass, if we don't let them solve the grain and grass by themselves, we don't have to fight, just providing them with grain and grass will be too busy." ”

"This"

Cui Feng immediately shouted: "Come on, beat the drum!" ”.
