Chapter 1034 Conflict
"I have received your letters. I hope you will return to your own country and abide by the contents of the letters. Read М" Zhao Xu flipped through the four letters and slowly said to the four Jiaozhi Kings.
"Yes, Your Highness, the King of Yan." The four bowed and replied.
Although the person in front of them was not the Emperor of Dasong, they knew that the power of Dasong was in the hands of the King of Yan.
Zhao Xu nodded, "After some time, officials from my Dasong Trade Department will arrive in your capital one after another to establish trade terms and promote your country to integrate into the East Earth Trade Circle established by my Dasong. Don't cooperate at that time."
After saying this, Zhao Xu signaled the four people to leave.
After taking over the four southeastern countries, the East Earth Trade Circle with Song Yuan as the basic currency has four more member countries.
The only remaining four countries are Siam, Java, Malay and Tianzhu.
And these four countries are also the areas in the East Earth that are still under the control of the Western Earth people.
Now, he has supported the four kings of Jiaozhi and made them restore domestic order, turning from a hostile country to a vassal state.
This means that the Dasong army has gained a fulcrum in the southeastern peninsula.
Through this fulcrum, he will be able to quickly defeat the Westerners and expel them from the East.
"Next, we should ask the Emperor of Siam whether he wants to follow Dasong or go all the way with the Westerners." After the four figures disappeared from the main hall, Zhao Xu looked at Qinshan and Guantong.
At present, the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army are all ready to go, and they can send troops to Siam with just one order from him.
There is a reason why he wants to fight Siam to the death instead of directly attacking Tianzhu or the north bank of Malacca.
Siam is located in the center of the southeast region, bordering the three countries of Pyu Man, Nan Zhang, and Funan.
Moreover, Siam's area is second only to Pyu Man, and its northernmost point is only 300 miles away from Dasong.
Through a river connecting Yunzhou and Siam, it can enter Yunzhou in two or three days.
At the same time, there is a narrow, tail-like peninsula in the south of Siam.
The front half of this narrow tail is the territory of Siam on the east and the territory of Pyu Man on the west.
In the lower half, the territory of Pyu Man ends, and the entire tail is the territory of Siam.
In other words, the territory of Pyu Man does extend to the north bank of Malacca.
But to reach Malacca directly from land, you have to pass through the territory of Siam.
Therefore, whether it is to seize Malacca now or to control the Strait of Malacca in the future, the position of Siam is very important.
Siam must be controlled like the other four countries.
In order to avoid an unstable factor in the back garden of Dasong.
"The general and the soldiers will set off as soon as His Highness gives an order." Guan Tong and Qin Shan said at the same time.
Zhao Xu nodded, "In that case, Guan Tong, you will return to Pyuman tomorrow. Six days later, the Qinglong Army will set out and strive to arrive in Siam on the same day as the Suzaku Army."
"Yes, Your Highness." The two responded again.
After giving instructions on this matter, Zhao Xu ordered the two to go back.
This time, he mobilized 100,000 soldiers to send troops to Siam.
The remaining soldiers were arranged in the four countries to assist the four kings in restoring order.
For him, it naturally does not take 100,000 people to deal with a Siamese country.
The most important purpose of his making such a big noise is to win without fighting and subdue Siam.
Of course, he also has another purpose, that is, after Siam surrenders, the Marine Corps will cooperate with the Army to officially open up Malacca.
At that time, the Army will be responsible for occupying the north bank, and the Marine Corps will be responsible for occupying the south bank.
Six days later.
Qin Shan led his troops to Siam as planned.
Zhao Xu did not set out with the Qinglong Army, but went to the eastern coast to meet Zhou Yi.
This confrontation with the Western Turkic coalition included both land and sea, so Zhou Yi, the admiral of the navy, naturally could not be absent.
The reason why Zhao Xu did not follow the army but the navy was because the fleet had higher mobility than the army, which made it easier for him to control the overall situation.
"Your Highness, the Marine Corps is ready and can land in Java at any time to destroy the Javanese army." Riding a warship along the coast of Jiaozhi to Siam, Zhou Yi reported to him the current preparations of the navy.
Zhao Xu nodded, "Let them wait patiently for a while, and then launch an attack with the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army at the same time, so that they cannot support each other on the north and south banks."
According to the information detected by the navy, the Western Turkic coalition deployed about 40,000 troops on the south bank of Malacca and about 60,000 troops on the north bank.
This number is only for the Western Turkic army, and there are also 120,000 native Indian troops deployed in Malacca.
It can be said that in order to defend Malacca, the Western Turkic coalition has invested a lot of money.
According to the information provided by Guan Tong, the Western Alliance built fortifications at the border between the Pyu Man Kingdom and India and deployed about 100,000 troops.
Of course, the Indian native army also cooperated here, with about 28 Indian troops.
From this point, it can be seen that Britain has a deep control over India, and the kings of the Indian states all obey the orders of the British.
However, although the number of Indian state troops is huge, Zhao Xu does not take it seriously at all.
Whether here or in the present, the combat effectiveness of the Indians is extremely low.
It is always very easy to be occupied and enslaved by foreign invaders.
Therefore, nearly 400,000 Indians are just 400,000 pigs in his eyes.
The fleet sailed on the sea for three days and arrived off the coast of Siam.
After waiting for another three days at sea, the Qinglong army led by Qin Shan arrived at the border of Siam from Jiaozhi through Funan.
After contacting Qin Shan, Zhao Xu ordered him to send an envoy to the Royal City of Siam to meet the Siamese Emperor Songpa.
…
At the same time.
The actions of the Dasong Navy and Army naturally attracted the attention of the Western Turkish coalition.
After judging that the Dasong Army would attack Malacca, the entire Western Turkish coalition suddenly became nervous.
Frank Army General was transferred to the south bank to command the war.
British Army General Wesley rushed to the north bank of Malacca by ship at night.
In order to ensure that Siam could stand on his side in the war, Wesley sent a colonel to the Royal City of Siam.
The colonel carried Britain's generous promise to Siam.
When Colonel Mador arrived at the Royal City of Siam, he met the envoy sent by Qin Shan.
He was Shang Yi, one of the three captains under Qin Shan.
The envoys of both sides met outside the city of Siam, and naturally they were particularly jealous.
Shangyi and the 200 soldiers who accompanied him stared at Mador and his party.
Mador and the 300 soldiers who accompanied him stared at Shangyi.
As if he felt that he had more people, Mador raised his head, pointed his index finger at Shangyi in the air, and said, "You bunch of pigs, we will kill you all on the battlefield."
Shangyi and Mador were less than one meter apart.
Mador spoke the British language, which Shangyi naturally did not understand.
But Mador's expression and pointing gestures were enough for Shangyi to judge that he was not saying good things.
"Son of a bitch, who are you pointing at!" Shangyi was furious and slapped him.
Mador obviously did not expect Shangyi to suddenly attack.
They, the British, are rampant all over the world. Only they bully others, and no one bullies them.
Because he was totally unprepared, he was slapped hard. With a "snap", he felt his teeth almost fall out.
Shang Yi took action, and the British soldiers immediately raised their rifles and aimed at the Qinglong soldiers.
The Qinglong soldiers also raised their Qin-style rifles and aimed at the British soldiers.
Another soldier took out a grenade from his waist and pulled the fuse.
