Chapter 1035: Twists and Turns

"Don't fight, don't fight."

When the two sides were at war with each other, a Siamese official appeared at the city gate.

Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately stood between the soldiers on both sides and waved repeatedly.

He first asked a Siamese accompanying him to speak to Madol in British.

He also ordered another Siamese to explain to Shangyi using a large chant.

Madol's trip was to win over Siam, so he naturally wanted to give Siamese officials face, so he asked the soldiers to put down their muskets.

Shangyi knew that he was an envoy now and asked the soldiers to put away their weapons.

But the soldiers on both sides still stared at each other unkindly, and there seemed to be fire burning in their eyes.

At present, the contradiction between Dasong and Xitu is irreconcilable.

Soldiers on both sides were holding back their energy to fight this battle.

"Zong La, why did the Dasong army appear here? Do you want to betray our Western Land?" Madol knew this Siamese official.

When they sent more troops to Malacca, this Siamese official also went to the place where they were stationed and sent food and fruits as a sign of goodwill.

According to Governor Bolt, this Zong La was a pro-Western Siamese official whom they supported.

"Colonel Madol, where did your words come from? I, Siam, are from the Eastern Kingdom and have not been loyal to you, the Queen of Britain. How can I betray you today?" Zong La's face changed slightly after hearing this. said.

The Taisung army appeared in the east and west of Siam at almost the same time, with a total of 100,000 troops.

During this time, they in Siam have been paying attention to the war between Dasong and the other four countries.

They almost died of fright when they saw Dasong's army destroying the armies of the four countries.

Previously, Siam had maintained harmonious relations with Britain and the Franks, and that was because they were frightened by the military fronts of the two countries.

At that time, Da Song had no time to pay attention to the five southeastern countries.

Now, King Dasong of Yan has arrived with a large army, and the situation has changed.

After all, if the British and Franks lose the battle, they can retreat to the west. Although Siam is right next to Dasong, they cannot move away.

However, their Emperor Songpa was still hesitant at the moment.

I don’t want to offend Da Song, nor do I want to offend the Westerners.

But I hope that they will decide the winner and Siam will make a choice and remain neutral for now.

Therefore, they naturally want to keep a distance from Britain, and hope that the Dasong people will not force them.

"What did you say!" Zong La's words made Madol's expression change drastically.

Obviously, the arrival of the Daisong envoy changed the attitude of the Siamese Emperor Sompa.

Seeing that Madol was angry, Zong La had to ask someone to explain their emperor's thoughts to Madol in British.

"I understand, you want to be a wallflower, but you are too wishful thinking. Our Western-Turkish coalition is now incompatible with Dasong and will not agree to your neutrality. Today you must give me a clear answer. You stand with Dasong. On the other hand, we still stand on the side of our West," Madol said loudly.

"This..." Zong La was also in a dilemma. He didn't expect Madol's reaction to be so violent.

After thinking about it, he asked Madol to wait for a while, then came to Shangyi and conveyed Emperor Songpa's thoughts.

Hearing this, Shangyi sneered, "It's okay to remain neutral, but after we defeat the Western Turks, it won't be up to him to decide whether his position as emperor can be secure."

A ball of fire suddenly lit up in his stomach, and he said angrily, "Are you thinking shit? The Western natives came to the Eastern soil and ran amok, killing and enslaving the Eastern natives. Now you actually want to be the same as the rat! You are still the Eastern soil." A native?"

Zong La blushed when Shangyi scolded him.

The idea of ​​neutrality seemed to be unworkable. While he ordered the soldiers guarding the city to let Madol and Shangyi enter the city, he hurried back to the palace to convey their intentions.

After understanding the situation, Emperor Sompha of Siam looked at the ministers.

For this matter, he specially summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.

The remarks just made were the result of everyone's deliberations.

"For us in Siam, staying neutral and playing both sides is the best option. It seems that this is not feasible." Sompa sighed.

After pondering for a while, he said, "In this case, we can only choose Dasong. We are too far away from the West and too close to Dasong. With such a rise of Dasong, of course we must maintain our relationship with Dasong."

"I don't agree." After Sompa's words fell, a Siamese general stood up suddenly, "The Westerners are much stronger than the Dasung people. Dasung only has one country, but Westerners have many countries. Now because of the distance, they are just Only a small number of troops have been gathered in Dongtu."

"If they really devote all their efforts to the country, Dasong will definitely not be their opponent. Therefore, if we choose the Western Territory, once the Western Territory wins, the generals will definitely help us establish the steam industry like Tianzhu."

After the general's words fell, he was recognized by some ministers, including Zong La.

He was only ordered to convey Songpa's order, but in his heart he identified with the Western Turks.

Because the West has intervened in Siam for decades.

In the past few decades, Dasong had almost no contact with Siam.

Therefore, their understanding of the Western Turks is deeper than that of Dasong.

"But the current industry in Dasong is more powerful than that in the west." Songpa had a bad premonition in his heart, but still explained, "This is what a businessman who went to Dasong saw with his own eyes, and this is what I am ultimately willing to choose. The reason for the great song is that this is a gamble. Once we lose, we will have nothing.”

"That merchant may have just received the money from the Dasong people. Your Majesty, think about it, how can the Eastern countries surpass the Westerners in a short period of time." The general said stubbornly.

Songpa frowned even more when he heard this.

He knew that many ministers and generals of Siam were very superstitious about the Westerners.

He was also very superstitious about the Westerners at one time, but at this moment, he could still keep a trace of sobriety.

But some people just don't want to open their eyes to see the reality now.

The name of this general is Bowei, and he has always been close to the Westerners with ministers such as Zongla.

The most important thing is that Bowei's family has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past 30 years due to close trade with the Westerners, and at the same time controls 30% of the military forces in Siam.

Even he is a little afraid of Bowei, which can be said to be a powerful minister.

"Okay, let me think about it again." Songpa said.

At this moment, a servant suddenly entered the hall and whispered to Songpa.

Songpa was startled, but immediately concealed his panic. He hurriedly said something to the attendant.

The attendant nodded and left immediately.

Not long after, the attendant appeared outside the palace gate.

Seeing Shangyi, he hurriedly said: "Please leave Siam immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger. There are ambitious people who want to kill you, create conflicts, and let Siam completely fall to the Westerners."

Shangyi suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Let your people hold on, we will come back again soon and let those ambitious people see our Dasong guns and cannons."
