Come to Daming with military supplies

What Ma Dali said was so sincere that Ha Chunwang had no choice but to believe it.Since he came here to show favor and weakness, this is a good thing, and he said happily at the moment: "Very good, your envoy can see the situation clearly, he is really a smart person, but I just don't know if your words can represent the five-star army What about the highest level of decision-making?"

"Of course, otherwise, wouldn't I be a joke as an envoy? In fact, I will tell you the truth. When I first came this time, I wanted to negotiate peace talks with your country, but no one has listened to me. It’s just words. I can’t take the initiative to find the general because of this. I know that you are a smart person, and you will definitely agree with this answer that is both beneficial. So as long as the general agrees, the above can be counted immediately. Our five-star The army is willing to cede the territory to Siam, just for the sake of face, I just ask you to hand over General Tongsi to us so that we can have an explanation to the outside world."



The Thousandth Chapter 16 The Initiative Changes Hands

Ma Dali finally took out his trump card, General Tongsi, which he had discussed with Yang Chendong before, and he intuitively told them that this person must be of great use.

When Tong Si's matter was mentioned, Ha Chunwang took a deep breath. This man was already waiting to die in the dungeon, and he knew about it.But after all, he was also a general of the Siamese country, and if this is to be handed over to the Five Star Army, what will people outside say, so he couldn't help but said a little embarrassedly, "Your envoy, must Tong Si be the man?"

"Yes, we must. This is a matter of the face of our Five-Star Army. Our leader said that it doesn't matter if you want to see the living or the dead." Ma Dali said in an unquestionable tone.

"Oh." Hearing that he was about to see the dead body, Ha Chunwang immediately became concerned.If he wants to see the dead body, that's easy. He can just find someone to prevaricate, and say it's Tong Si's body. Once such news spreads, when the people of the country are dissatisfied, he will release Tong Si to set the record straight.At that time, the deal with the Five Star Army had already been completed, so what could he do?With a thought in mind, he nodded in agreement. "Okay, leave this matter to the general, and your envoy will wait to hear the good news."

It must be a great credit to be able to win this battle without bloodshed and win a large part of the territory.With excitement, Ha Chunwang went to the palace to meet Yi Liqi, and told the whole story.

This discussion naturally aroused Italy's great joy.He was very happy that he could win the final victory by handing over only one person.In particular, Ha Chunwang also thought that he could find a dead body to deal with, and he could gain benefits without having to bear any ties, without losing the dignity of a big country, so he agreed with a smile.

After Ha Chunwang got an errand, he went to do it right away.He took great pains to get a tombstone and engraved Tongsi's name on it. After everything was settled, he went to the mission compound in person and invited Ma Dali, who was trapped here, out. He brought him to the tomb, pointing to him and saying, "This is the tomb of Tongsi. To tell you the truth, he was defeated. When he returned home, our king personally ordered him to be beheaded."

"Hehe." Ma Dali sneered, and then said, "General, do you think that a tombstone can put an end to everything? I'm afraid I can't explain it."

"Your ambassador can open the coffin for an autopsy." Ha Chunwang said for him.

"Forget it, this person has been dead for longer than I have been in Bangkok, and the weather is so hot, what else is there besides the rancid smell?" After Ma Dali finished speaking He walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and his voice echoed in mid-air, "General, even if that's the case, our five-star army will have a real chance with you on the battlefield even if we try our best to damage our own strength."

The peace talks couldn't proceed.Ha Chunwang was a little disappointed and returned to his daily life. After all, there was still good news coming from the front line. Even if the peace talks failed, this battle would still be won, and it was nothing more than killing more people.His biggest thought now is to get rid of Hamod. If this person is still in the position of Prime Minister, he may have to return to the barren land of Western Xinjiang after the war, which he cannot bear.

Hammond has not been idle either, he has been doing the work of recruiting recruits.Although there are always good news coming from the battlefield ahead, but based on the idea that the battlefield will change at any time, it is always harmless for the army to be more prepared for work.

The conscription work was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Hamod, and the memorial of impeachment continued to be placed in front of Yiliqi. I've already thought about it, even if I want to move, I have to wait for the end of the war. Everything is settled by finding an excuse to suppress it.

Using a dying Tongsi as a bargaining chip for the end of the war was quickly forgotten by several people, as if it never happened.The reason why everyone doesn't pay attention to this matter is nothing more than thinking that the army is winning steadily and there is no need for such means.However, as the Siamese army on the front line of the East Road occupied more and more empty cities and territories, they had to divide their troops to defend the city.

"Attack!" The five-star army, who had been looking for an opportunity, launched a decisive counterattack after seeing the effect of luring the enemy into deep.More recruits were thrown into the battlefield, and those who remained on the battlefield were not only corpses, but qualified fighters who had experienced many battles.

Not looking for the gain or loss of a city or a place, just to destroy the opponent's vitality, this is the decision Yang Chendong made.

Under the requirements of such principles, the Five-Star Army adopted a multi-strand attack method and launched a comprehensive counter-offensive operation against the 25 Siamese troops that entered Cambodia.In order to achieve the purpose of raising soldiers by war, young and strong men who came from all over the country invested 30 people at one time.

With 5000 people as a unit, they began to launch a planned and intensive counterattack against the Siamese soldiers.In the past half a month, 30 people died in battle and nearly 10,000 were killed, and the number of injured reached [-]+, but in the end, about [-] qualified fighters were harvested.

The impact of 30 people killed a total of nearly 10 Siamese troops, which greatly slowed down the opponent's offensive.Then the third group of young and middle-aged men arrived, and another 20 people were thrown into the battlefield. Ten days later, more than 5 people were killed, more than [-] were injured, and [-] soldiers were killed.

In the third battle, more than 7 enemies were killed and wounded.There are still about [-] soldiers in the Siamese Army's Eastern Route Army. So far, the shortage of troops has become apparent, causing them to completely lose the initiative on the battlefield, and urgent letters for help flew to Bangkok, the capital of the kingdom.

The Five-Star Army of the Eastern Route Army sent about 56 new recruits in the three wars, killed nearly 20, injured more than 20, and finally got 12 qualified soldiers.Perhaps they are not the best, especially the 5000 people who came later. Facing the already frightened Siamese army, their opponents have long since lost their peak strength.But they have all experienced fighting on the battlefield, seen blood, and have a certain ability to protect themselves and kill the enemy.

"Order, divide the 12 people into thirteen teams and counterattack with all our strength. We need better fighters." Facing the casualties of several 5000 people, Yang Chendong said with a heartbroken look.But they are aliens after all, and the death of these people is not as painful as the death of the four thousand and eight hundred and fifty four Leng Feng and Heiqi before him.

With an order, a large-scale counterattack began. Facing the counterattack of these veterans, the crippled Siamese army finally showed its decline. Not only did they quickly leave the seized city, but even if they retreated to Siam At the border, the Five-Star Army's counterattack still did not stop, they continued to attack them, and Sa Kaeo City fell.

The loss of Sa Kaeo, an important town on the eastern border, represented that the Siamese army had entered a full-scale retreat from the initial full-scale attack, and it also marked that the Five-Star Army had begun to grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

The loss of Sa Kaeo City has brought about earthquake-like turmoil in Bangkok.When King Ilich heard the news in the depths, he almost fainted immediately, and then called a group of ministers to discuss matters. middle.

The matter of the fall of Sha Kao City was told by Yi Liqi himself, and all the ministers looked panic-stricken, "Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about what to do next." There was no trace of panic, but it was undeniable that his face was so ugly, obviously with his calmness, he was already a little flustered.

The king is like this, not to mention the other courtiers below. Everyone is in a panic and dare not look up. The 25 army is defeated as soon as it is defeated. Now there are less than one-third of the troops left, and the five-star army How to turn things around after entering the country to fight?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yi Liqi had no choice but to ask by name, "Xiangguo, how is the matter of recruiting soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, the conscription is in progress. At present, [-] recruits have entered the camp one after another, but they have not received any training after all. If they are forced to go to the battlefield, most of them will be vulnerable and unable to play their due role. It works." Hammond raised his head and said with some hesitation.

He was really worried that the king would send these 10 people out in a hurry. If so, it would be tantamount to forcing these people to die.Fortunately, Ilici was not in a daze, he just shook his head, expressing some disappointment.

In normal times, with Ilich’s performance like this, I’m afraid that Chun Hawang would have jumped out and hurt Hamod a long time ago, but now he is bowing his head in silence. He suddenly thought of Ma Dali, and thought of what he said to himself. about General Tongsi.

Considering the face of Siam and the fact that their army has always held the initiative on the battlefield, they did not agree to surrender.But now, when the situation is very bad, I can only ignore the face.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not." Seeing the silence in the court hall, Chunhawang spoke.

It was a rare moment when someone was willing to take the initiative to speak, and the high-ranking Ilici spoke out a single word—speak.

After getting permission, Chunhawang looked at the throne and said intently, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the envoy of the Five Star Army? He said that as long as we can hand over General Tong Si, they will retreat, and even Compensation will be made. Of course, today is different from the past, and we don’t have to think about compensation, but it’s okay if we can retreat, so we will have enough time to retrain the new army and hope for a comeback.”

17th Chapter [-] Xiangguo was arrested

Chunhawang just opened his mouth, and the voice of Xiangguo Hammod on the other side has already sounded, "This is impossible, how can Tong Si also be the general of our Siamese country, so we handed over people like this, what is our face? ? If we do this, how will the people view us?"

Hamad is a capable prime minister. Siam was able to enter the powerful Ayutthaya period. King Ilich was naturally very wise, but he also had a lot to do with him as a prime minister.Usually such people are also very proud.Now someone wants to trample the pride in his heart, how can he agree?

As if he had expected that Hamad would object, Chunhawang quickly turned around, looked at each other and said at the same time, "What? Does Mr. Xiangguo value face so much? Then, is it important for face or our Siamese country?" Are strength and security important?"

"Of course they are all important. Although the situation in the east is not so good, we still have 20 veterans in the capital. Under their leadership, the newly joined [-] new troops may not be without the possibility of playing their role, just like the five-star army. , Aren’t they also made up of recruits?” When it comes to his smooth talk, Hammond is naturally not afraid of anyone.

"Really? Then if the 30 people lose the battle in the end, I would like to ask Mr. Xiangguo, what will our Siamese country do at that time, and who will protect the safety of the royal capital?" Chun Hawang is not a good person, mainly for this He has already prepared for the question, and he has even prepared for what Hammond will say.

Above the court, the two ministers started to quarrel openly, which made Yi Liqi, who was already in a bad mood, look even more ugly. Why can't these people sit down and talk calmly at this moment of national crisis? Woolen cloth?Could it be that all quarrels will have a good result?

Under the anger, Yi Liqi immediately showed his might, and said angrily, "Enough, this is not a street well, and you are not the lowest level of common people, so shut up for me."

The king lost his temper, and the two naturally ended their quarrel, and then each stepped back a few steps and returned to the standing squad.At this moment, Yi Liqi's voice also sounded, "Dignity is the foundation of a country, of course we want it."

As soon as this remark came out, Xiangguo Hammod breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the king would listen to Ha Chunwang's words. If so, how could a dynasty with no dignity and no bottom line be trusted? of.

It is a pity that this comfort did not last even a breath, and Yili expected his voice to come out again, "Just, for the safety of the country, so what if we bow our heads once? The Han people don't always say, Can a man be able to bend and stretch? Then we will bow our heads once, as long as everything can have a better future for Siam. In this way, this matter will be handed over to the general. You go to see the envoy of the Five-Star Army and ask about it before The promises are still unfulfilled.”

They all said but, and there was nothing good to say afterwards. Now that it has been confirmed, Xiangguo Hamed's heart trembled, and at the same time he tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, please don't say this, otherwise, the hearts of the soldiers and the people will really be lost." When they are condensed, that is really the scariest thing."

"Okay." Without waiting for Hammod to finish speaking, Ilich waved his hand and said, "Xiangguo should worry more about the new army, how to make them have a certain combat power in a short time, far more than It is more realistic to say what is righteous in this court."

Xiangguo, that is, the prime minister of a country, is the existence of one person under one person and above ten thousand people.Even in many cases, the position of prime minister or prime minister has great control over imperial power. They can even manage the emperor, the king, the monarch, and everything they can see.And the seat is the supreme leader of the royal power, can you be happy?

After finally conquering the country, most of the power was finally handed over to the prime minister, and he even restricted himself in turn. What is the meaning of this?After all, you are just a high-level wage earner, how dare you control your boss.It is precisely because of this that in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang spent a lot of effort to abolish the prime minister system, and finally centralized power to himself. Although the workload increased a lot because of this, he was still in pain and happiness.

Daming no longer has the mechanism of prime minister, but Siam still has it.And Hammond is indeed a very real person, with great autonomy in some things, even King Ilich had to follow his face in some things.The reason for this situation is nothing more than because this person is very capable and can help him in many things, which makes Yiliqi willing to decentralize power.

But now, Hammond's behavior has been very different from his own, and it has involved the safety of the country, and he finally can't bear it anymore.In addition, Chun Hawang contacted so many people to impeach Hamod before, all the anger broke out at this moment, and he asked Xiangguo to shut up.

Ever since Siam entered the powerful Ayutthaya period, Ilich had never spoken to himself so forcefully. At this moment, Hammod was stunned. Only then did he realize that he didn't seem to fully understand king.

Chun Hawang, who was at the side, was very happy to see that Xiangguo was deflated, so he cupped his fists and said, "I obey your Majesty's order, please listen to the good news from me."

It was the first time that Hammod was scolded in court.The other courtiers who flattered him originally began to distance themselves from him on purpose at this moment. Perhaps this is the true human nature.It will always be that there are many people who throw stones into trouble, and those who send carbon are few in snow.

Mr. Xiangguo walked out of the palace a little lonely. Compared with his colleagues, he took the initiative to stay away from the palace. It didn’t make him sad. speech scene.It's hard for him to imagine that a country that doesn't even have dignity can talk about the future and the future.
