Chapter 63: New Era No. 17: Zhongnan Plan (Part 1)
One month later, the fleet arrived in Hexian Town.
This time, Qitad did not visit India. He was going to do this again when he returned because he received an emergency telegram from the new Governor-General of the Far East Governor-General.
"Former Siam King Zheng Xin was killed by his father-in-law Kekeli, who killed Zheng Xin in a temple. Now Zheng Xin's son Nu Qi, two young girls, Oonani, and Sunny Wan were both placed under house arrest by Kekeli"
"According to the inside, after Kukri took control of the Siam situation, there seemed to be signs of killing Nuqi and others"
"Also, in recent years, Zheng Xin's reputation in Siam has become increasingly greater. In order to calm public grievances, Kerry is preparing to attack Nakhon Khmer Mansion, Songkhla Mansion and other places on the Malay Peninsula, or attack the Khmer country supported by us."
"Li Tongkuan, who occupied Peking University, has made little progress in recent years, and is dissatisfied with the people moving to Hexian Town, preparing to respond to Kukeli's actions. They must have contacted them privately, but they don't know the specific situation"
"In addition, the Wu family, who was enthroned by our country, who was between the Li Dynasty and the Ruan tribe in the southern Guangnan Kingdom, occupied Hue, increased its strength after the Xishan Uprising Army was incorporated, and then colluded with the powerful minister Zhang of Guangnan Kingdom, causing harm to Guangnan Kingdom"
"He took advantage of the great change in Siam and our country may not have the opportunity to intervene and launched a large-scale attack on Guangnan. He has captured Guiren City, the capital of Guangnan. The king of Guangnan has rushed to Nha Trang and asked for help from our country"
Qitad did not make a decision immediately about these information, nor did he hold a meeting on the night of his arrival. Instead, he rested for a night before holding the meeting the next morning.
"The latest situation is"
The situation is reported by Zhou Jixun, the intelligence manager in the Far East Governor.
"It is probably because of our country's reaction, but Kerry did not dare to attack the Khmer country and Nakhon Palace, but instead attacked the Nanzhang country"
(Nanzhangguo, later generations of Laos)
"The Wu family of Vietnam is probably also concerned about coming to our country and sent people to visit the governor from the sea, intending to score Guangnan with our country"
"Where is the Li Chao in the north?"
"It has not been good in recent years. In addition to the influence of the great uprising, the remnants of the Zheng family, who were originally driven out of power by our country, are also secretly moving, provoking the dissatisfaction of the people and intending to restore the rule of the Zheng family"
"Where is the Qing Dynasty?"
"They want to intervene, but considering our country's reaction, they are still waiting and watching"
Qitad said: "Since the assassination of Zheng Xin's brother Zheng En, hasn't Zheng Xin been alert to Kukri, why did he still think of him?"
Zhou Jixun replied: "Siamese people believe in Buddhism, and there are countless Buddhist festivals. There are too many opportunities for Zheng Xin to come forward in person. Some temples are built on the mountain. The so-called need for retreat, so even Zheng Xin needs to arrive there one day in advance."
"Although Zheng Xin has increased his vigilance against the local aristocratic group headed by Kekeli, his eldest wife is still Kekeli's daughter. She has long been blowing the pillow wind. Over time, Zheng Xin probably forgot about this incident."
"Also, after all, he still has Chinese blood. The local aristocrats support him in the place where his adoptive father is, but the Kerry family is a native aristocratic family that has been thriving for hundreds of years. The tree has a deep roots and cannot be shaken easily"
"It is precisely because Zheng Xin's son is also his grandson that Kerry did not kill him immediately, which in turn shows that Kerry's control over Siam is because mere efforts cannot affect the overall situation."
"Where is Zheng Eun?"
"It's strange that since Nu Qi stayed at his grandfather's house for a long time and was still young, once Zheng Xin went out, Zheng En would be allowed to guard Tunburi. However, not long ago, rumors suddenly broke out in Siam."
"Of course, it was tortured by Zheng Xin. Zheng En's brothers. It was said that Zheng En would replace Zheng Xin as the king. The so-called brothers and brothers were finally together. Although Zheng Xin didn't believe it, he would inevitably have some suspicion, so he sent Zheng En to lead the navy throughout the country."
"At this moment, the Sultan of Nakhon Palace suddenly rebeled from Siam and claimed to be under the jurisdiction of Tinganu Sultan on the Malay Peninsula. Zheng Xin was furious. If it weren't for the Li Tongkuan Tiandi who would have blocked it in Peking University, the Sultan of Siam would have destroyed Tinganu in recent years."
(Tenganu, later Terengganu, the sultanate of the sultanate and the sultanate of the Johor Sultanate were one grandfather)
"Now there is a ready-made reason, so he appointed Zheng En as the general the day before the Buddha's Day, leading 50,000 people from land and water to attack the Sultanate of Tinjanu"
"It was at this time that Li Tongkuan from Peking University attacked Nakkor's Mansion, which made the situation in Nakkor's Mansion even more chaotic. Who knows what Li Tongkuan thought"
"Zheng Eun's fleet received news of the great changes in Thonburi before he arrived in Tinjanu. He was frightened and did not dare to return to Thonburi. Instead, he was ready to surrender to our country, but was killed by the generals of Quakri halfway, and finally the fleet returned to Thonburi"
Qitad nodded, and he looked at Asina.
"Have your governor's jurisdiction ever discussed this matter?"
Asina said: "Your father, I have naturally discussed it. We all believe that the situation on the Indochina Peninsula is not a bad thing."
"Oh?"
"Father, the core of the Far East Governor-General's jurisdiction in my country is still in the Mekong Delta, but the area here is not large and the population can be accommodated is limited"
"There is nearly 1.5 million people here, including Khmers and Guangnan people, and about 1 million people, and about 500,000 Chinese immigrants"
"Now, Chinese immigrants are constantly coming here, and the population size is further expanding. It seems that the territory is not enough"
"I want to expand my land, but the Khmer countries and Guangnan countries are enthroned by our country, so it is not a good idea to directly occupy them. Now, we can't blame us for their own rebellion, let alone the Wu family is also preparing to divide Guangnan countries with our country"
"What else?"
"Father, son ministers believe that the incidents in these places are heard at the same time, and someone must be coordinating them. This person is either the Dutch or the Qing court. Naturally, he will not come to us, but he is concerned about the increasing strength of Siam."
"In recent years, Siam has become increasingly powerful under the rule of Zheng Xin, with a total of nearly 300,000 water and land forces. The emergence of such a country is not something the Qing Dynasty or the Dutch are willing to see. As for the Wu family, it must have been launched after seeing the chaos in Siam."
"What about your thoughts?"
"Father, my son-in-law thinks that we will ignore the Siam Kingdom first and divide the Guangnan Kingdom with the Wu family first. When they fight together and both sides are seriously injured, they will take action again, and they will achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"The representative of Wu's family promised that once we agree, we can assign the land south of Nha Trang to us after the destruction of Guangnan Kingdom"
"Is that true?"
Hearing Chitad's voice was not as excited as he was about to gain the place south of Nha Trang, Ashina knew that this would not satisfy him.
He quickly said, "Father, do we want to take down the entire Guangnan Kingdom?"
Qitade shook his head, "The areas south of Nha Trang are all mountainous lands, and there are too few flat lands. It's a pity to take them down. In Hexian Town, we have Vung Tau Mansion and Long Qing Mansion as a buffer for Guangnan. There is no need to seize useless land anymore"
