Chapter 588: The Smoke of the Indochina Peninsula (2)

The British guns and cannons made it difficult for the Burmese army, which used the big sword and spear, to compete with them. They retreated step by step, and the cities that originally belonged to the Arakan Kingdom were being restored one after another by the British-Arab coalition forces. The momentum of the Arakan King Durunladu became increasingly greater. A large number of rebels defected to Durunladu's command, making Durunladu's power even bigger. In just over a month, the Arakan Kingdom army, which originally had only more than 10,000 rabs, expanded to 30,000, and it was still increasing day by day.

The anger of Myanmar King Meng Yun was useless, so he had to issue an order again. However, the Burmese army, which originally thought it could be easily captured, finally encountered resistance at the Baoshan City, which was advancing all the way. The 120,000 troops overturned the city, but the strong and heavily defended Baoshan City remained unmoved. Moreover, the artillery on the top of the Baoshan City was not inferior at all, even surpassing the Burmese army, making the Burmese army even more helpless.

By this time, a British army had already reached Minwu City in Magui Province, which was almost one step away from Magui City, the capital of Namagui Province.

The voices that were originally strongly supporting the Northern Expedition were getting smaller and smaller at this moment, and the voices of strongly advocating the south to quell the rebellion were getting louder and louder. After all, if Magui City is lost, then those damn rebels can even advance to Mandalay, the capital of Myanmar. At that time, it would be too late to even try to mobilize troops to move south.

Although King Meng Yun was reluctant to spit out the flesh that had reached his mouth, the situation in the south was already dangerous. The frightened and angry King Meng Yun had to order the Mala Governor who led the Northern Expedition to transfer another 50,000 troops back to the rescue, and the remaining troops retreated to the occupied Longling and other places to defend and wait for assistance. After quelling the rebellion in the south, Xutu Baoshan and other places will be returned.

The reason why King Meng Yun was so confident was that the British supported them was used in the Northern Expedition Army. Now, all the firearms were transferred to the south, and both sides held firearms, and the Myanmar army was crowded with people. How could they not win? At least King Meng Yun had already made a decision. When he captured Muhang and captured the remnant of the Alagan royal family, Dulun Ladui, he must use an elephant to trample this guy to death to eliminate his hatred.

And just as King Meng Yun dispatched troops from various Myanmar states and provinces to the south, and made up his mind to teach those capricious, despicable British men and the damn remnants of Allagan, the situation in the north was undergoing a huge change.

As early as the beginning of the Myanmar military mobilization, the chieftains and tribal leaders of Kachin State and Shan State secretly contacted some people of unknown origin during this period. When Myanmar mobilized a large army to attack Yunnan, it began to seize food, grass and supplies nearby in Kachin State, Shan State and other places. Over the past few decades, every war has caused countless sufferings to the people of Kachin State and Shan State, two Myanmar territory adjacent to Yunnan. The tribal leaders could only watch their homes become the battlefield for Myanmar and the Qing army to rage.

Now, the Myanmar army has once again marched north, with more than 100,000 troops, and the food and various supplies needed to recruit the same number of people from Kachin State and Shan State, making the complaint even heavier. However, this time, although the scale of the war was unprecedented, it did not cause riots in Kachin State and Shan State as before. The leading governor Mara thought that the chieftains and tribe leaders of these two states were finally much more tactful than before. In fact, what he did not expect was that after he sent troops to plunder the food and grass of the chieftains of the chieftains and tribes, a large amount of food was quietly delivered from Yunnan to the hands of these chieftains and tribes.

When the British-American coalition forces began to invade the Rakhine State in southern Myanmar, a large number of unknown troops quietly entered the Kachin State and Shan State in Myanmar from Yunnan. With the help of local chieftains and tribal leaders, they gathered in the sparsely populated Kachin State and the eastern Shan State.

It is like two blood-devouring beasts lurking in the primitive jungle, quietly avoiding the hidden shade of trees, staring at the prey that is leisurely eating grass and drinking water by the water stream. As long as the time is right, they will ruthlessly jump out of the bunker and use their sharp minions as sharp as a knife to pieces.

To the east of the Kingdom of Burma, the founder of the Chokri Dynasty, which had lost half of its territory, bowed to pay tribute to the former Qing Dynasty, Zhao Piye Chokri, the king of Siam, who claimed to be Zheng Hua, the son of Zheng Xin, was filled with despair.

Since he accepted the king of Annan Dynasty, Nguyen Phuc Ying, this former opponent, now the king of the fallen country, and bad luck seemed to have begun to come to Siam. First, a large number of Chinese troops appeared in small countries such as Nanzhang in the north. Then, in the south, the port country that was once annexed by Siam and Annan Dynasty began to advance northwards in large numbers. Now the Kingdom of Cambodia, which has no monarch in power, is no match for the army of the Chinese Empire that has been planned for a long time.

In less than three months, the new king of Cambodia ascended the throne under the canonization of the Chinese Empire. Afterwards, he bowed to the Chinese Empire and handed over all the land originally belonging to the port country to its country.

One country after another on the Indochina Peninsula bowed to the Chinese Empire and began to vigorously promote Chinese characters in their respective countries. The Chinese people opened Chinese schools in a large proportion of the military and officials of these countries, including Myanmar, there is also Siam.

However, just a year ago, the puppet emperor of Annan issued the order to conquer Siam. After that, the port country, the Kingdom of Cambodia and Laos responded together, and led more than 80,000 troops of the four-nation coalition forces to start an invasion of Siam.

Siam was attacked from all sides and blocked from the left. Zhaopiyechokri led his army to use his strength, but he still lost. The territory of the eastern and northern parts of Thailand was gradually eroded by these coalition forces.

Half a year ago, Liang Pengfei, the actual controller of Annan and the owner of Nanyang, began to attack the Qing Empire, and the pressure on Siam was much lighter. Zhao Piyechokri breathed a little relieved. After thinking about it, he originally wanted to keep the Annan Nan Dynasty king Ruan Phoe Ying and his son who fled to Siam. When the time was right, the idea of ​​invading Cambodia and Annan had to be dispelled.

He directly ordered the slaughter of Nguyen Phuc Ying and his son, presented the heads to Li Dashuang's camp, and presented a large number of gifts and tribute letters to the surrender, claiming that he was willing to bow to the Chinese Empire as he did in the past and be willing to be a vassal.

The Grand Governor Li neither agreed nor refused, but the momentum of the offensive stopped temporarily, which made Zhaopiyechokri feel relieved, but what he did not expect was that just a month ago, a stern-worded letter was placed in front of Zhaopiyechokri in Narama I.

That was the ultimatum issued by Liang Pengfei, who had overthrew the Qing Dynasty and became the supreme ruler of the Chinese Empire.

The reason is very simple, that is, Zhaopiyechokri, this Rama I, dared to deceive the great, noble, and supreme authority of the head of the Chinese Empire (before he ascended the throne and became emperor).

In the letter, all the things that Zhaopiyechokri had been deliberately concealing were listed.

First of all, Zhaopiyechokri was a usurper. He was just a general of the former Siam King Zheng Xin. After killing the throne, he impersonated Zheng Hua, the son of Zheng Xin.

Secondly, Zhaopiyechokri not only killed Zheng Xin's whole family, but also slaughtered the Chinese generals and officials in Siam.

After Zheng Xin, who was born in Chinese, became king, he had many Chinese troops under his command, and a large number of Chinese generals emerged, making great contributions to Zheng Xin's establishment of the Thonburi Dynasty. Later, many Chinese became generals and officials of Siam, which allowed the Chinese to gain a lot of privileges in Siam. The Chinese had a prosperous status in Siam, and a large number of people from southeastern China flocked to Siam, and they were called the royal Chinese.

All this led to the dissatisfaction of many former Siamese nobles who lost power. After Zhaopiyechokri killed Zheng Xin, in order to please the Siamese nobles and at the same time eliminate the Chinese forces in the country, he began to raise his butcher knives to a large number of Chinese officials and generals.

Later, Liang Pengfei pointed out in the letter that after Zheng Xin's son Zhaoshui was imprisoned, three descendants escaped from Siam under the cover of his confidant retainers. When they were incognito and fled to Nanzhang, only one son, Zheng Xiong, was survived and was taken as his adopted son by Yachagu, an important official of the Nanzhang Kingdom.

He Zhaopiyechokri was an unjust usurper, and he was the murderer of wantonly killing the Chinese. At the same time, he was also a robber with strong ambitions for the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, Liang Pengfei finally pointed out that either Zhaopiyechokri led his people to surrender and welcomed Zheng Xiong as the emperor. Zhaopiyechokri's father and son committed suicide and apologized for his grandson, and his grandson became monks. The Chinese Empire could consider letting Zhaopiyechokri go, otherwise, all the people waiting for Zhaopiyechokri will be killed!

After receiving this letter, Zhaopiyechokri locked himself in the bedroom for three days, and no one saw him. After sending this letter.

In addition to the original coalition of several countries, an army composed of Chinese was added, known as the restoration army of the Siam Thonburi Dynasty. The nominal commander of this army was Zheng Xiong, the legitimate grandson of Emperor Zheng Xin.

This army is completely an elite army of pure heat weapons armed to the teeth. Under the cover of the Thonburi dynasty, under the cover of the multi-national coalition forces, the Siam National Salvation Army has broken through several cities in a row. Tens of thousands of Siam troops were all destroyed in front of this terrible elite unit. The vanguard has already arrived at Bazhen City, which is only more than 300 miles away from the Siam capital Bangkok. At this speed, at most five or six days, the so-called Siam Thonburi dynasty restored army will appear under the city of Bangkok.
