Chapter Sixty-Nine: New Era No. 19: Phraya Mun
The young man was wearing a golden military uniform. He didn't even look at his nephew, but shouted to the man: "Right now, there are only two places left in Thonburi City: the Royal Palace and the Chao Phraya Temple. If they die,
The barbarian thieves can attack with confidence!"
The man obviously only followed Chakri's orders. He shook his head and said, "I am the king's soldier. I will not listen to anyone except his words, and the prince is no exception!"
This is a Siamese tradition. The nobles will select elite private soldiers from slaves who were captured. After a period of testing, they will be given civilian status. Those selected as dead soldiers may even obtain the lowest level of Kun title.<
/p>
Therefore, they will only obey their master and no one else, not even the master’s son.
"Really?"
Qin snorted coldly, then pulled out his sword and stabbed the man in the chest. The man was obviously a master, but he did not resist, but he knew that his title was saved.
Because of the obstruction of the people closest to the master, it is ideal that his mission has not been completed. Qin is very likely to become the next generation King of Siam. He can only save his family by dying.
The dead soldier fell, but the shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire were getting closer and closer.
Qin's face changed drastically, and after a while, he still asked people to escort the Nuqi brothers and sisters out.
Chao Phraya Temple is connected to the royal palace. They all retreated to the palace. There was a high tower in the middle of the palace. Qin and others escorted the Nuqi brothers and sisters to the high tower.
At this time, Kang Xiaozi had personally led an army to surround the palace.
In the entire old city, the only splendid buildings are the Chao Phraya Temple and the Royal Palace. Chakri built the palace under the guise of making it easier for his sister to come back to visit her relatives. When fighting against the invasion of the Burmese, Zheng Xin also came to live there from time to time.
There was no rejection.
The palace has a wall as thick as ten feet, covers an area of about a thousand acres, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. All the remaining soldiers in the old city have gathered here.
On the one hand, the pagoda is needed to worship Buddha, but on the other hand, Chakri obviously uses it as a lookout.
Kang Xiaozi understood when he saw Nuqi and others being detained on the top floor of the pagoda.
"It's really ridiculous. Do they want to take Nuqi and others as hostages to stop our army's attack?"
"We still have Zheng En's children in our hands. Wouldn't it be better to abandon Lulu and establish others?"
Immediately, he ordered the soldiers to continue the attack.
The sound of artillery sounded again, and this time Kang Xiaozi did not hold back. He placed a field cannon directly in front of the gate. With a loud noise, the gate made of heavy rosewood fell down!
Kang Xiaozi was overjoyed and wanted to command the soldiers to rush inside. When Qin on the pagoda saw this, his expression changed drastically.
"Do they not even want Taksin's children and want to invade our country like the Burmese?"
Looking at the trembling Nuqi and others beside him, he felt angry in his heart. He drew out his sword and wanted to kill his nephew and niece!
At this moment, a horseman flew from outside the palace. The man held the flag and token high and stopped Kang Xiaozi from attacking here.
"Your Majesty has an order not to attack the palace for the time being, but to surround it first"
Although he was a little suspicious, Kang Xiaozi still suspended the attack. When Qin on the tower saw it, he secretly rejoiced: "It seems that trying to help the brothers and sisters is still useful, otherwise the fellow from Kitard would not have suspended the attack."
Kang Xiaozi asked a brigade of troops to surround the palace, and then forced the aristocratic slaves in the city to dig a big pit outside the city, carried out the Siamese soldiers who died in the city and threw them into the pit. Here
The weather is hot and humid, and if left for too long, it may cause the risk of plague.
As for the family members of the old Ayutthaya dynasty aristocrats living in the city, they were all detained in the military camp in the city.
Not long after, Kitard sent someone over again and issued new orders.
"The city of Bangkok is surrounded by water. Our army has destroyed the pontoon bridge of the moat. Chakri has no way to escape. Just wait and see what happens."
"Just wait and see what happens?" Kang Xiaozi became even more suspicious, "Are you waiting for news from His Highness the Fourth Prince?"
"No, with the capabilities of our reorganized divisions, it is impossible to be defeated by Chakri's partial division in the wild, let alone Uday II's 30,000-strong army?"
"The weather is fine now. With Ashina's sense of smell, he will not miss this rare opportunity. He will definitely urge Uday II and his partial division to have a decisive battle. With an integrated division here, they cannot be defeated."
p>
The person who came was Suo Chao, Kitard's military secretary. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, general. The winner has been decided by the fourth prince. They fought in Wuwen Mansion. Maybe they learned the news here.
, before the reorganizers of Ha Tien Town took action, Uday II defeated that army."
"The Siamese army is fleeing in all directions and is currently chasing the enemy."
"Then..."
"Haha, Your Majesty has his own opinion"
Since Suo Chao didn't say anything, Kang Xiaozi couldn't ask. Anyway, his Bogda organizers had fought bloody battles for a day and a night, and were very tired, so they just needed a rest.
About five days later, an army came from the upper reaches of the Chao Phraya River, numbering about 20,000, and came by boat. The big flag on the boat read "Phi Yamon" in Thai.
When Kang Xiaozi saw it, he thought secretly: "Is it possible that His Majesty is waiting for this reinforcement army and then kills them all? If so, this reinforcement army is stupid enough. They know that our country has the advantage on the water and yet they come in a boat carelessly.
Do you still think you were destroyed quickly enough?"
To his surprise, his own fleet did not attack after the fleet arrived here, but allowed them to dock at the Bangkok City Pier.
This scene made Kang Xiaozi, who was observing Chao Phraya Fort, even more confused.
At this time, he received another order from Kitard.
"Bring all the captured family members of the Ayutthaya dynasty nobles to the Bangkok City Pier!"
Although full of doubts, Kang Xiaozi still obeyed.
In order to find out what happened, he personally escorted about a thousand noble family members to the pier. As soon as he stepped onto the pier, he saw Kitard talking to a middle-aged man who looked like a Siamese nobleman.
When Kitard saw Kang Xiaozi, he waved him over.
"Xiaozi, this is Phayamun, the general who guards Sukhothai in Siam"
"Sukhothai? Isn't that the northernmost palace in the Chao Phraya Plain? Did His Majesty's spies get in touch with it early on?"
But I still greeted him respectfully.
Kitard continued: "This man is Zheng Xin's sworn brother. In the past, Zheng Xin took refuge in Phraya Chitsit, the finance minister of the Ayutthaya dynasty, and gained his appreciation. Only with this identity can he rise in Siam.
Otherwise, just a civilian would not be able to do it."
"Prayamun is the eldest son of Phraya Keshe, and he was originally a Chao Phraya. After Chakri came to power, he was sent to Sukhothai on the border to guard, and he was demoted to Phraya, because most of the Burmese invaded from there.
, his fiefdom was also moved from Ayutthaya to Chiang Mai."
Kang Xiaozi understood immediately.
"Although Zheng Xin became the King of Siam for a time, there are probably not many local nobles in Siam who are truly loyal to him except for his adoptive father."
"His partial division attacking Nanzhang suffered a defeat, and another large army also stood on our side. Chakri, who was trapped in Bangkok City, had no choice but to surrender."
"That's not right. Based on our country's capabilities, shouldn't we attack Bangkok just like we attacked Manila? This city is not as strong as Manila. Our warships have also evolved to the fifth generation. Isn't it easy to attack this city?"
"Although the Siamese soldiers also have some matchlocks, they are not many in number. Most of them have swords and spears. Even if there are 50,000 soldiers, they are just like ants. They took it with a little effort."
