Seeing the distant port gradually revealing his figure, Qian Wubing couldn't help but sneeze again. This time, Olivia just glanced at him lightly, Qian Wubing smiled slightly and said hello to her.
He raised the handkerchief that was still warm in his hand.
"The foot soldiers can't let them idle. When they arrive at Liogang, they ask Nawali for a camp. There is no use for them now, and they may not be useful in the future. This exercise still can't stop. The ship is so big. On the ship
Can’t practice!”
"I'll leave half of the people on the boat, and the rest will go ashore!" Olivia nodded: "Can the Siamese guarantee our supplies? Why don't we let us go find them ourselves?"
"He is eager for us to go ashore!" Qian Wubing pointed in the distance: "Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a tiger and a fox. This tiger..."
"A fox pretends to be a tiger, sir, you have already told this story!" Olivia glanced at him: "I'm really not that stupid. You have to remind me over and over again about such a thing!"
"Have you said it before?" Qian Wubing touched his nose and was slightly surprised. He didn't know where this story came from. Anyway, it was not in the Ming Dynasty's classics. I think it was when he was chatting with his subordinates.
We had told this story before, but now Olivia was talking about it, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"We are tigers. This Walli wants to be any kind of fox. However, even if this fox wants to use the tiger's power to scare other animals, it must first come up with something to seduce the tiger. So, after your people come ashore, they will eat, drink, and pay.
Don’t worry, anyway, he said that as long as the army is in Siam, he will be responsible for it!”
"I don't doubt his ambition!" Olivia said, "The problem is, he is just a prince, not the king of this country. Our fleet has thousands of mouths, which is very difficult to raise.
!”
"Then let him become the king!" Qian Wubing snorted: "Go and talk to him, I think he should be asking for it!"
…
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the warships of the Celestial Empire are back!"
As the news from the attendants came in, Walli quickly walked out of his temporary palace and appeared on the dock. Looking at the majestic fleet in the distance, slowly approaching, Walli stood solemnly in the sun.
The expression on his face was as pious as a believer worshiping a god.
Several warships slowly entered the port, but more warships stayed on the sea outside. Wall-E was sure that several warships wanted to enter the port, and hurriedly sent people to guide the evacuation of the port.
There were other ships inside, and he himself hurriedly rushed to meet them.
"General Olivia!" Seeing the tall beauty in military uniform walking off the ship, Walli hurriedly stepped forward: "Welcome to Siam!"
"There's no need to look. Sir, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I won't get off the boat!" Seeing Wall-E looking around behind her, Olivia said coldly. This was not the first time she had seen Wall-E. Naturally,
I know who Wall-E wants to see most at this moment.
"The same goes for General Olivia, you are here. It's an honor for the little king!" Walli chuckled: "I arranged a place to rest. The general will take a rest first, and then the little king will lead a special trip from the royal capital.
Some of the kingdom’s important ministers who admire the general’s majesty came to wash away the general’s ashes!”
"Has it been arranged?" Olivia was slightly startled.
"It's all arranged!" Walli replied with a smile. Soon, his smile began to become a little stiff. Behind Olivia, groups of red-shirted Ming soldiers were coming from the huge sea.
People were filing out of the boat, and the people watching the excitement on the pier and some of his soldiers had already begun to make some panicked sounds.
"Have arrangements been made for two thousand people?" Olivia half-smiled: "I heard from your lord that you took the initiative to ask me to set up a government office in Siam where I have thousands of overseas households. This time I came and took care of this matter by the way.
Bar!"
A complicated expression flashed across Walli's face. Soon, he calmed down and smiled: "That is what Xiao Wang wants. Xiao Wang has been a little neglectful. I will ask someone to arrange it in two hours at most.
, the general’s soldiers can enter the barracks to rest!”
Wali's mood is somewhat contradictory. He wants to use the power of the Ming people to succeed to the throne without any controversy among his many brothers. However, this power must be grasped in a certain way. He doesn't want to lose control.
Ability, just like when he heard about the scale of the hundreds of overseas clinics set up in various places,
He took the initiative to ask for a hundred households to be set up in Siam, because he learned that a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty usually only housed three to five hundred soldiers. Who knows why the name was called a hundred households, but there were hundreds of people, and the name was Qianhu.
So, there were thousands of people. He really had no intention of understanding the military system of the Ming Dynasty.
Three to five hundred people, he thinks he can still control this amount of manpower. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Siam Dynasty is not big, but compared with the surrounding countries, it is definitely not small, except
A Dai Viet and Siamese really have no rivals in the Indo-China Peninsula. The country's standing army can generally be maintained at 20,000 to 30,000 people. Of course, no matter how many there are, the country will not be able to support it.
.
Of course, there is no suspense for two to thirty thousand people to fight against three to five hundred people. In this case, Siam will not worry about becoming the second Champa. However, the three to five hundred people turned into two thousand, and on the sea outside, there was still nothing.
A Ming army that can reach the royal city along the river at any time
Fleet, this seems to be beyond his control. If the Ming Dynasty really covets Siam, even if he becomes the king, what's the point? He is just a puppet king. He might as well be here.
Liaogang, be a free prince!
But, can he say "no"?
Now he has worked hard and even paid a huge price to get on the Ming Dynasty's ship. If he turns against him at this time, the one who gets kicked off the boat will definitely not be a Ming Dynasty person. And once he is kicked off the boat, he wants to do something
Puppet, I'm afraid it's just a wishful thinking.
The soldiers on several ships were dumped onto the pier of the port. Soon, several ships retreated, and new ships came over. Then, people were still loading and unloading on the shore. Waiting until Olivia
After the two thousand people came ashore, the panic and discussion on the shore were all suppressed to the extreme. What was left on the pier was not only a solemn atmosphere, but also a solemn atmosphere.
Two thousand people are not a lot. They were placed on the pier. Even the Siamese and people watching seemed to be no less than these soldiers. However, when four neat square formations silently stood on the pier,
When it was unfolded and then kept silently for more than an hour, the feeling was quite frightening.
Olivia was carried on her back, pacing gently in front of the phalanx. She even turned her back to the soldiers standing upright with swords and guns behind her. It was her seemingly idle behavior that made Siam
In human eyes, the contrast with the silent beast-like phalanx of soldiers behind them is even more stark, even if they just saw it
Olivia, who came to lead the army, is a female general. The general is still a little contemptuous of Siamese. At this moment, he feels that the figure is walking casually with his hands behind his back, and even kicking away the gravel on the pier when he has time.
There was shock, fear, and admiration, but the contempt just now was nowhere to be found.
A general who can command such an elite force, no matter who he is, is worthy of them.
"General, we have made arrangements. There is a camp two places away from here. Xiao Wang's army used to be stationed there. It is more than enough to arrange the general's subordinates!"
Wall-E, who was going to arrange all this, hurried from a distance and said breathlessly to Olivia. The soldiers behind Olivia were no different from when he left. It was as if he didn't see them.
"It's right there, send someone to lead my people there!" Olivia nodded.
"But..." Walli hesitated.
"Nothing!"
"However, Xiyi once bombarded this camp. If there is a threat from the sea, this camp cannot be considered safe!"
Walli struggled for a while, but he decided to tell the truth. If this kind of thing is not mentioned in the front, problems will really arise in the future. The Ming Dynasty will definitely suspect that there is something wrong with his arrangements today. However, two thousand people eat
The military camp where they lived and practiced was so easy to find. Apart from the place where he originally placed the imperial guards who came from the royal city, where else could he place the people? You must know that this is Liao Port, not the royal city.
"Lead the way!" Olivia pointed to the sea: "They are here. Do the Spaniards have a chance to bombard my soldiers?"
"That's great!" Walli was relieved: "I also brought back some of the most famous doctors in Siam. I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Qian. Do you want these doctors to show you? This is also Xiao Wang
A lot of thoughts!”
Olivia looked at him and didn't bother to answer. "My lord is sick and you brought in some wild men. What do you mean? You don't even wink at all and you still want to be the king."
The phalanx that had been standing on the dock for more than an hour finally moved. With a wave of Olivia's hand, it changed from quiet to active. In other words, a few things happened between each other, and rows of soldiers
, from walking slowly to starting to run, soon, the only sounds on the pier could be heard: the sound of footsteps, the clatter of weapons, the officer's command, and no other sounds.
Knowing that these soldiers, carrying dust, slowly disappeared from the sight of everyone on the dock, the people on the dock all breathed a sigh of relief, as if some kind of burden that had been weighing on their hearts was lifted away, physically and mentally.
Suddenly they felt relaxed. They didn't know that this thing that made them feel shocked and uncomfortable was called power, and they had never seen it before. This kind of power could not be seen by just standing there in military uniform with weapons on hand.
At least, they had never seen it in the Siamese army.
"It turns out that this is the army of the Celestial Dynasty!"
In the crowd, a childish voice suddenly sounded, seeming to express everyone's thoughts: Yes, it turns out that this is the army of the Celestial Dynasty!
