Thonburi City.

The capital of Siam was Ayutthaya, but it was later captured and destroyed by the Burmese king Mengbo. After Zheng Xin conquered the country, he moved the capital to Thonburi, where he was supported by the Ayutthaya nobles.

The situation at that time was: although the Burmese army retreated, it could make a comeback at any time. Therefore, as a nobleman of the Great City Dynasty, urgently needed a brave and warlike person like Zheng Xin to consolidate the country.

However, Zheng Xin's father was Chinese, and it was obvious that not all the nobles of the Ayutthaya dynasty supported him sincerely.

Even Kekeri, who was the founding father by Zheng Xinfeng, was the same. Although he dedicated his daughter to Zheng Xin, since Zheng Xin stationed his army to Chanthaburi in order to effectively control the situation in Cambodia, the former Ayutthaya dynasty nobles who rushed to Thonburi from all over the country gradually gathered around him.

Thonburi City is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, and there is also a small town on the east bank, Rannawa (later Shiranawa County), which happens to be within the Great Bay of the Chao Phraya River. Now Zheng Xin's father-in-law, Keri, stationed there with his army.

(Thonburi City Rannawa City, the core part of Bangkok in later generations)

But the one guarding Thonburi City was a real Chinese. He was Zheng En, the distant cousin of Zheng Xin who came from Chaozhou Prefecture of the Qing Dynasty not long ago.

Zheng En is only in his early twenties this year, but he is a Wu Xiucai from Chaozhou Prefecture. Later, he followed the villagers to the South China Sea and was proficient in water wars. The lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River are wide and deep. Zheng Xin has a large number of fleets under his command. When he went to Chanthaburi Prefecture, he took half of the ships, and the rest were all led by Zheng En.

Zheng En is young and is not very skilled in Siamese. He obviously has no ability to take on the responsibility of guarding the royal city, but there are naturally many people around him who gathered because of his identity.

In addition to overseas Chinese, the most common ones are naturally the Japanese Catholics who fled here because they avoided the massacre of the Tokugawa Shogunate. In order to balance Kuri, Zheng En also took in some Burmese prisoners of war.

The most famous one is naturally Meng Bo’s brother-in-law, Gangbo, a famous general in the Kingdom of Burma.

Of course, for the Burmese people who almost completely destroyed their country, the serious Siamese people were gritting their teeth. Zheng En could only do this in secret.

Zheng En lived on the sea before. Although he was a general in the rear guard, he still liked to go down the river to fish and hunt on the mountains from time to time in his spare time.

There is a vast dense forest near Thonburi, which was specially planted by kings of the previous Ayutthaya Dynasty to build ships. Over time, it became a paradise for wild boars and wild deer, and later it naturally became a dual-purpose place for royal hunting grounds and shipyards.

On this day, Zheng En brought some Japanese ronin and Chinese martial artists to this dense forest.

The twenty-one-year-old Zheng En is not tall, but very capable, and looks similar to the current Siamese people. His face is slightly dark, his eyes are deep, and his triangular eyes are very sharp.

Although Zheng Xin himself was the adopted son of the former Minister of Finance of the Ayutthaya Dynasty and served as the lord of several castles, he obviously knew that his throne was not stable.

What's more, his son is only six years old now, so he still attaches great importance to this relative of Wu Xiucai from the Qing Dynasty. Not only did he named him "Zhao Phi Ya" (equivalent to the Duke of Siam), but he also appointed him as the deputy city lord and commander of the Navy of Thonburi City.

However, as he came to power, Zheng Eun also rose, and a large number of women were sent to him by different people. At this point, although Zheng Eun still likes to fish and hunt, the scene of the past that he liked to ride a horse in front and hit a big wild boar with one arrow has long gone forever.

Nowadays, he is surrounded by a large group of people, watching them drive wild boars and wild deer together, and then barely shoot a small one under their escort.

By chance, Chen Lanbo, who later generations followed Luo Fangbo's foundation on Borneo Island, has now come here and become one of Zheng En's confidants.

Like Luo Fangbo, Chen Lanbo was both a literary scholar who knew martial arts. If such a person was in the Qing Dynasty, his status was obviously higher than that of Zheng En, the martial arts scholar, but when he got here, he could only rely on Zheng En.

Zheng En had a cavalry team with only 300 people, and the commander was Chen Lanbo, who also called him "President" according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty.

Ichiro Takahashi, a descendant of Japanese Christians, and during the Ayutthaya Dynasty, a large number of ronin became royal guards, and the Takahashi family was also one of them. Before the Burmese invasion, these Japanese ronin still had a certain status, and were even above overseas Chinese.

But with the invasion of the Burmese people and the demise of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, these ronin became ronin again. Seeing the former Ayutthaya nobles on the other side of the shore, Kerry raised a large number of people around him, most of the ronin chose Zheng Eun.

Under the erosion of women, Zheng En became more and more powerless. He hunted all day long, watching his subordinates kill and shooting. Not only that, his hand holding the reins was still trembling slightly.

In order to show his majesty under his command, he had to force himself to stand up straight and ride on the horse.

As dusk approached, Zheng En and his party gained a lot. He was a little tired and prepared to go back home. At this moment, something suddenly popped up in the dense forest!

I saw the colorful and seemed to be frightened, and flew around in the jungle.

"Colorful peacock!"

Generally speaking, no matter how beautiful the peacock looks, there are only three colors at most. There are many types that look like they are just a gradient of a certain color, but the peacock in front of you is definitely a real colorful peacock!

Just like a phoenix and a unicorn are rare auspicious in China, in Siam, colorful peacocks are auspicious, but also extremely rare auspicious!

If someone gets it and woves its colorful feathers on hats and clothes, it is the weather of the king!

After Zheng Xin came to power, he always wanted to give his crown. It was a pity that he had never succeeded in matching his palace with colorful peacock feathers.

Although Zheng En was extremely debauchery, he obviously knew who brought all this to him. After seeing the colorful peacock, he completely forgot that he was no longer the Qing martial scholar who was skilled in archery and horses. He was excited and rode his horse out!

Siam is generally full of horses, but the one under Zheng En's crotch is different. This is a Wali horse from India, which was naturally transported by merchants.

This kind of horse is tall and strong, and is used to the humid and hot environment. After hunting for a whole day, he has long been impatient with the ponies around him galloping, but he can only walk slowly and feel frustrated. After being whipped by Zheng En, he soon disappeared from a distance.

Seeing this, the rest of the people did not dare to neglect and quickly chased after him.

Riding on the tall Mawari, feeling the speed of lightning as the surrounding trees retreated quickly, the "cavalry" that had disappeared from Zheng En for a long time seemed to be back. Although he was a little tired, Zheng En still laughed happily.

What's more, like the Vari horse under his crotch, he had been "depressed" for a day, and now he had no obstruction from his confidants around him, so he completely let go.

However, the colorful peacock was obviously able to fly. Although it was not high and had to stop after a while of flight, it could fly in the end. In addition, there were trees everywhere. Although Zheng En rode a horse on the Vari horse, he still failed to take it down quickly, and was separated by about two or three battles from it.

Zheng En had only a treasure sword on his body, a short gun obtained from the Westerners. If he had carried a bow and arrow on his body now, the peacock would have been taken down by him, but he did not dare to use the short gun. He knew that if this thing hit the peacock, the colorful and precious bird would have been useless.

While chasing the colorful peacock, Zheng En's distance from his subordinates became farther and farther away. When he was a little impatient and ready to get off the horse to catch it, the dense forest was silent, and the originally noisy voices could no longer be heard.

This dense forest is Zheng En's fiefdom, and no one dares to come and do not benefit him. But he is one of the few Chao Phraya in the Daxin Dynasty nowadays. If there is a three-long and two-long shortcoming, it will inevitably have a great impact on the Daxin Dynasty.

What's more, although the Burmese army has retreated now, Zheng Xin's foundation is not stable, and Zheng En is one of the beloved generals he relies heavily on.

Thinking of this, Zheng En still held back. He did not dismount, but waited for his subordinates to arrive.

Sure enough, not long after, with a commotion in the dense forest not far away, several cavalrymen appeared.

In Siam, almost all soldiers wore bamboo hats, but the oil paints painted on the hats are different. Ordinary people are not allowed to paint oil paints, while others paint different oil paints according to their status. The lowest one is black paint. Zheng En is the duke, so he naturally paints red paint.

Those cavalrymen were all black paint, which was very common among his men. After seeing Zheng Eun, they hurried over.

When these people walked to Zheng Eun, Zheng Eun was shocked.

"you......"

These people are not his people!

Not only that, there were three cavalrymen, and at first glance they were elite cavalrymen raised by the former Ayutthaya Dynasty (similar to Japanese samurai and Daming). They all had dark skin and strong figures. They were carrying swords on their bodies, muskets on their backs, and bows and arrows on their hands!

The three cavalry generals Zheng En surrounded!

"call out......"

In the flash of lightning, three arrows were fired at once, and all hit Zheng En. Zheng En screamed and fell off his horse!

At this moment, his subordinates finally arrived, and the voice was vaguely heard. Seeing this, the three riders did not dismount and checked Zheng En's condition, so they quickly rode away.

......

Thonburi City, the lord's mansion.

Zheng En was hit by three arrows, one shot in the back, one shot in the chest, and one shot in the ribs.

But he is not dead yet. Obviously, although these three arrows were shot at close range, they did not hit the internal organs, but the infection caused by the arrow is also fatal. Zheng En has been in a state of high fever and coma after being rescued by his subordinates.

In the original history, with Jung Eun's death, Jung Xin's men actually had no one who was truly loyal to him, but then Kerry could easily kill him and steal the throne.

As for those Chinese and Japanese ronin, most of them scattered with Zheng En's death, because Kerry was Zheng Xin's father-in-law, most of them defected to him.

Zheng En has been in a coma for three days. In these three days, he has not dripped water and rice, and his black face is burning like gold paper.

Faced with this kind of scene, the doctors in the city, whether Siamese, Chinese, or European doctors, are helpless.

The one who is most anxious about Zheng En's situation is obviously Chen Lanbo.

At present, Luo Fangbo defected to the Truqin people and became a brigade commander, with three thousand elite soldiers under his command. Although Chen Lanbo is also a close confidant of Zheng En, he only has three hundred cavalry under his command. He is also planning to fight with Zheng En, and become an official in the future. But now...

As for those ordinary Chinese, although the Japanese ronin also felt a little regretful, they just regretted it. What should they do themselves and continue to do what they should do.

Chen Lanbo was irritated and uneasy. He came to the street alone. When he walked to the commercial area close to the Chao Phraya River, a sound of silk and bamboo came to his ears.

"Damn it!"

The news of Zheng En's assassination was obviously blocked. The people in the city did not know that their master was in danger, so they should do what they should do, but this was unbearable in Chen Lanbo's eyes.

He quickly arrived at the place where the sound came out.

It was a restaurant opened by a Chinese, with two floors and a stage in the middle of the second floor. It seemed that someone was singing opera there.

Chen Lanbo still has some status in the city. When he saw that it was him coming, everyone quickly stood up.
