After all, what the Five-Star Army pays attention to is to take the route of elite soldiers, and it has always required that the soldiers be more elite than many.If these people are refused to join the army on this ground, it is also possible, but their enthusiasm will be severely discouraged, which will increase a lot of difficulty in managing them in the future.
In the expectant eyes, Yang Chendong gave the answer after a little pondering, "Since they are so full of enthusiasm, how can they hurt their hearts, then arrange the assessment, conditions permit, identity and background If there is no problem, you can join the army."
Yang Chendong actually agreed, which naturally made Ding Dingwei and Da En very happy.But then the problem came again, and Da En quickly said, "Sixth Young Master, there are many people who signed up to join the army this time, not only in Suweng City, but also in many nearby important towns. Can I join the army?"
"Of course you can." Yang Chendong didn't understand what Da En meant by this.
On the other hand, Ding Dingwei said quickly, "Sixth Young Master, it's like this. There are a lot of people this time, and there should be a lot of people who passed the assessment. If they all join the army, the strength of the Cambodian army will naturally increase a lot." times, so the financial pressure will naturally be greater.”
"It doesn't matter, as long as they are fit and willing, they can accept them, but you have to explain to them in advance that only one Cambodian province can't use so many soldiers. They will have a new place in the future. As long as you are prepared, You can charge as much as you have.”
This battle made Yang Chendong see the disadvantages of insufficient troops.Although he had felt this way before, but with the route of elite soldiers, so what if the enemy has a lot of troops?Otherwise, it will be defeated in his hands.
But this time, in the face of the sudden attack of the Siamese army, the shortage of troops was finally revealed, and Yang Chendong finally understood that sometimes it is not enough for you to have good soldiers, but you still need a numerical advantage.This is the reason why ants kill elephants.
A small Siamese country made him feel so much pressure. Then, if he wanted to conquer the west and occupy a larger area of land in the future, how could he do it without enough troops?Even so, conscription is just that, other forces can support so many troops, how could the Yang family not be able to do so?
Out of consideration for the future, Yang Chendong agreed to the expansion of troops. Not only that, he also sent power to several other provinces.He knew very well that the matter of the expansion of the Cambodian army's recruitment would probably spread out in a short time. At that time, the middle-aged men in other provinces would inevitably have such a request. Instead of waiting for them to ask for instructions, it would be better to just let it go. Let's see, how much can the forces in your hands gather?
The matter of conscription has been settled in this way, he just sent a telegram stating the facts to Chixian City City Lord's Mansion and the military headquarters as usual, which shows his attitude, I just inform you, I don't mean to ask for your opinion, just Just do it.
The conscription was entrusted to people like Ding Dingwei and Da En who are familiar with the local environment. Yang Chendong met Lu Zhuo, the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the New First Army, in Suweng City.For this old subordinate, Yang Chendong was naturally not polite. After knowing that the other party's situation was stable and he did not show signs of acclimatization, he said, "Since there is nothing wrong with the army, let's go down and make preparations. We will set off in two days." , It is time to seek justice from Siam.
Bangkok is the capital of the kings of Siam.
General Tongsi had fled back, but the moment he entered the capital, he had already lost his freedom. He was captured by the king's guard who had been waiting here for a long time, and was thrown into a prison.
This time I believed Tongsi's words, King Ilich of Siam sent a large army to reinforce the Eastern Front, and even sent up the few artillery in his hands, but in the end, what he got in exchange was not to win Yang Chendong, but the army was defeated information.
Now that the matter failed, someone must be responsible for this matter, and Tongsi naturally became the responsible sinner.
For this matter, Yi Liqi found the prime minister, Hammod, and personally announced to him the decision to execute Tongsi.According to his words, the general will be punished if he loses the battle, especially when the counterattack of the Five-Star Army is imminent. All.
For the king's order, Hammond has a different view.In his opinion, the two armies are at war, and it is not auspicious to kill the general himself, and it will only chill the hearts of other generals.But since this was an order from the king, he had to obey it, so he arranged for someone to go to the dungeon and announced that Tongsi would be detained and beheaded after the war was over.In his view, since things have to be done, they should be postponed as much as possible to prevent the bad influence from spreading.
Tongsi, who was only one step away from success, was imprisoned in the dungeon, waiting to be beheaded after the battle.I'm afraid that if he knew this would be the result, he would have to say whether he would escape back to the capital.What Tongsi didn't expect was that even if he was about to die, the Five Star Army didn't let him go. He passed out after taking a meal once, and was moved out of the dungeon when he opened his eyes. It's unbelievable that someone paid a lot of money to buy him out of the dungeon.
Chapter 38 Counterattack across the board
It was said that it was General Tongsi's family, and they were willing to send someone of similar stature to exchange.It was just a dying person. After seeing the large amount of gold and silver, the soldiers in charge of the dungeon handed him over without thinking too much. Anyway, people are dying, so no one should be paying attention.But they didn't know that this was the beginning of the disaster in Siam.
Everything started with Yang Chendong's telegram reprimanding the intelligence department.
The Siamese army marched into Cambodia in two ways to deter Laos.The Five Star Army didn't notice such important military intelligence at all, so it's no wonder that Yang Chendong directly accused Yang San, the Minister of Security, in his telegram of whether he was a dry-cooked man. If he couldn't do it, then find someone capable to do it.
Sensing Yang Chendong's anger, Minister Yang San directly sent a secret message of reprimand to Jin Ji, the person in charge of the security bureau in Southeast Asia.And it was this telegram that was like nothing, so he had no choice but to send someone to it. Finally, news came not long later that the person in charge who temporarily replaced Tianque, nicknamed Jinji and whose real name was Wu Gui, had been controlled by the Siamese army.
Just like the Ming Dynasty had Jinyiwei and Dongchang; the Five Star Army had the Ministry of Security and the CIA, Siam also had its own intelligence organization, and they even found out the location of Wu Gui in advance, which was an inconspicuous place in Bangkok. In the small courtyard.The Siamese country did its tricks and didn't take people down immediately. Instead, under the instruction of Prime Minister Hamad, it just kept people in check and didn't startle them.
As a result, when the Siamese Army began to prepare for the expedition, when Wu Gui, nicknamed Golden Rooster, called a group of his men for a meeting, the Siamese Army broke in, caught one of them, and killed seven intelligence members on the spot. , including the golden rooster.
Because the matter was done very covertly, and the main members of the intelligence department who knew Jinji's whereabouts were either dead or captured, so that the security department didn't know about it at all. After Yang Chendong's reprimand call came, he couldn't get in touch. Only then did they send people to investigate, and only then did they know the whole process of the matter.
The Ministry of Security's intelligence system in Siam was wiped out, and when the incident was reported back to Chixian City, the fifth lady Su Man'er, who was in charge of the CIA, felt that the opportunity had come.
Since the establishment of the CIA, although it has done some things, its contribution is not very large. The reason is that the intelligence network of the Security Agency has been formed long ago. Easy, not only have to face the obstruction of the intelligence department of the enemy country, but also be suppressed by the Ministry of Security.
It's true that Su Man'er is Yang Chendong's fifth wife, but Yang San is Yang Chendong's servant for many years, and he is extremely trusted and respected.On issues related to intelligence, he was naturally unwilling to give way too much. It was enough face to see that the Fifth Madam did not directly suppress the CIA.
It is very difficult for the CIA, which was established late and lost its opportunity, to make achievements. As the person behind the scenes, Su Maner has been looking for opportunities for breakthroughs.Finally, the opportunity came, and the situation in Siam made her feel that she could take advantage of it, so she immediately sent a very profitable female intelligence member nicknamed Qingci to the capital of Siam in secret.
According to Su Man'er's meaning, Celadon's arrival is to find out more about the situation of the Siamese Army and whether they can analyze their next move.And when Celadon arrived, she learned about General Tong Si's return to the capital through a large sum of money, so she immediately bribed someone in the prison to make eyeliner, and wanted to stare at Tong Si. Celadon had a feeling that The sixth young master will not spare this person, so his every move must be watched carefully.
Unexpectedly, the King of Siam was so decisive that he ordered to be executed after the battle.There is no chance to kill this person on the battlefield, Qingci has the idea that he must not let it go, so he spends a lot of money to replace him in the name of Tongsi's family.
After winning Tongsi in this way, Qingci reported the matter. In her opinion, it was just a trivial matter. She never thought that this telegram was forwarded to Yang Chendong. The original intention was Su Maner Ask, how do you want to punish this culprit? In Yang Chendong's eyes, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes, "You must hide people well. It's really not safe to kill them on the spot. In short, don't leave any traces. It is of great use to me to try my best to deny this matter to the outside world.”
After the telegram was sent, Yang Chendong immediately sent another telegram to Luo, the commander of the Second Army who was ready to send troops in Vientiane City, allowing him to send troops to Siam, reminding that all logistical matters can be handed over to the Lao province. Chang Luan Xiaochen handles it.
After the two consecutive telegrams, Yang Chendong also sent out the third telegram, which was sent to Ma Dali, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Chixian City, requesting to send someone to Siam for negotiations as soon as possible.
After sending the telegram, Yang Chendong sent troops to Siam with a wave of his hand.
He summoned the First Cavalry Division of the World, the First Cavalry Division of the New First Army, half of the Fifth Army Division, and a full 5 Cambodian Army (temporarily recruited). There are more than 7 people, which is quite impressive. , and then it is time for him to seek justice.
Vientiane City.After the telegram arrived, Luo Po, the commander of the Second Army, took the initiative to find Luan Xiaochen and Long Tienan, and said that he would send troops immediately according to the order of the sixth young master, and asked the two to help and cooperate with him as much as possible.
Both Luan Xiaochen and Long Tienan belong to Yang Chendong's relatives, plus one is the first elder brother in Laos province, and the other is in charge of the stability of social public security under all forces of the Yang family. Po is already a major general, and he will still show great respect when he sees the two of them.
"Mr. Luo, please rest assured that Laos Province will obey the order of the Sixth Young Master and fully support you. If you ask for money, ask for money, and ask for goods." This is Luan Xiaochen's statement.
Then there was Long Tienan's voice, "Commander Luo can do it with peace of mind. I have already discussed with General He Guang and tried to follow your pace. We have recruited a total of 4 soldiers during this period. I fully support you."
After more than ten days, while the situation of Su Wengcheng was worrying, Luan Xiaochen and Long Tienan were not idle. After they reached the same goal, they could not contact Yang Chendong and did something without permission. It is a very bold thing, that is to recruit the army on the spot, especially the public security team. At the request of Long Tienan, many people directly joined the army and became a member of the Lao Army, which also allowed the team to continue to expand in a short period of time. , reaching 4 people.
Facts also proved that their thoughts coincided with Yang Chendong's.Sure enough, the Cambodian province started to expand the army, but after all, the actions of the Laotian province were before this order. For this reason, Luan Xiaochen and Long Tienan jointly signed and sent a telegram of guilt to Yang Chendong.
Military power is not only important, but also very sensitive.
This is like a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can naturally kill the enemy, but if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself.The two people who knew this truth had to make some gestures.Of course, Yang Chendong's attitude is also necessary, and it will end with a sentence of not being an example.
This is also a reminder to some people that private recruitment and dispatch of troops is not allowed, and this is a warning if it is not an example.
After receiving the support, Army Commander Luo Po finally let go. Except for the Seventh Army Division who was still in Vietnam to stabilize the situation, the Second Army Division and the Sixth Army Division were all mobilized this time, and they suddenly left Vientiane City. Attacking towards the Siamese army camp outside the city, following behind these two divisions was the [-] Laotian army that had just been recruited and hadn't run in yet, but they were all young and middle-aged.
At this point, the five-star army from the north, south, and east began to counterattack Siam.
To the north are the Second Brutal Division, the Sixth Army Division and the 7000 Laotian Army headed by Luo Po, the commander of the Second Army Army, with a total of about [-] people.
To the east is the First World Cavalry Division led by Yang Chendong, the First Cavalry Division of the New First Army, half of the Fifth Army Division, and 4000 Cambodian troops, totaling about [-].
To the south is the navy dominated by the First Sea Division and the Second Sea Division.The total number of soldiers is about 7000.Among them, Zhao Changxiang, the second sea division, had captured Pearl Island (that is, Phuket Island in later generations) and cut off the land route of the South Siam Road; The heavy city of Pattaya in the southeast of Bangkok (later Chanthaya) has formed complete control over the entire south of Siam.
When the soldiers of the North Route came out of Vientiane City, they caught the Siamese army by surprise.For many days, the Siamese army has been used to the defense and retreat of the five-star army. They never expected that they would suddenly break out. The 3000 unprepared Siamese army was crippled by the second and sixth divisions of the army. Amidst the sound of cannons, they were defeated one after another. After resisting back and forth for less than half an hour, they dropped more than [-] corpses and fled away.
Luo Pojunxin handed over the work of cleaning the battlefield to the [-] Laotian army led by Long Tienan and General He Guang. He continued to lead the main force of the two army divisions all the way to Umbrella, an important town in the north of Siam. long city.
At this time, the general of Siam, Gedan, was in this city. He had just heard the news that the Five-Star Army was going to battle, and soon after, he saw the soldiers who were defeated like a mountain, and the soldiers chasing after his soldiers frantically. A soldier of the Five Star Army dressed in army green.
The intelligence personnel had reported the information long ago, but all Five Star Army soldiers who could wear formal attire belonged to the elite line, and they were very difficult to deal with.Although Gedan had 20 soldiers, he didn't dare to be careless. He immediately ordered people to prepare for the defense of the city. Cannons, bows and arrows, boulders, and kerosene should all be ready.Even for the sake of safety, he didn't even have the slightest intention to put the more than 1 defeated soldiers outside the city into the city.
Chapter 39 The President Arrives
If the city gate is not opened, it is just a loss of more than 1 people. Once the city gate is opened, the main force will be in danger.And relying on the defense of the city, plus the fifty artillery pieces brought in, it may not be impossible to severely damage the main force of the Five-Star Army under the city.
General Gedan is very ambitious. This time he wants to slap a five-star army in the face with practical actions, telling them that the Siamese army is not like the Canglan army or the Phnom Penh army before, but they are very effective.
