Ma Jixiang gave great confidence to the Siamese generals who participated in the conspiracy. With the Ming Dynasty's 20,000 troops as the backing, how difficult was it to drive away the French army of less than 2,000?
Papi Luoja no longer hesitated. He ordered Charumphong to lead the army to take over the defense of the city and block the news. He also ordered Basong to lead the army to attack the palace and arrest the crown prince Apayet. He personally led the army to attack King Nare's palace.
Capture King Nare alive.
"Everyone, the city is only one hundred and forty miles away from Mangu. Once the news is leaked, the French troops stationed in Moji and Bangkok will soon arrive at the city. Therefore, this operation must be fast and keep it confidential.
", Papi Luoja solemnly warned Chalumphong and Basong.
"Commander, don't worry, we will definitely fulfill our mission."
"Well," Papi Luoja looked at Ma Jixiang again, "Angel, how long will it take for the Ming Dynasty's army to arrive in the city and join us in dealing with the French?"
Ma Jixiang smiled and said: "Although the road from Myanmar to Siam is not easy, if you travel lightly and travel day and night, you can get there in a month."
Papi Luoja nodded with satisfaction. As a nationalist in Siam, he did not want to use external force to expel the French. Borrowing troops from the Ming Dynasty was a last resort. If things went smoothly, there would be no need to ask for help from foreign countries.
Asking for help. I heard that it would take a month for the Ming Army to arrive, which is exactly what I want.
However, what the commander-in-chief did not expect was that the secret letter sent by Ma Jixiang to Emperor Guangwu via Fei Nu said: "According to Qian Jian, the coup in Dacheng has a great chance of winning. Papi Luoja and others have tens of thousands of soldiers.
We, the Ming Dynasty, should focus on Malacca affairs and concentrate on fighting the red-haired barbarians. We should send troops to Siam and openly conflict with the French and barbarians. It is unwise!"
In other words, Ma Jixiang's gift to Papi Luoja's 20,000-strong army is just empty talk. If you believe it, you are crazy!

The towering Ayutthaya has been glorious for more than three hundred years. As the capital of Siam, it is beautiful, with spectacular city walls, bustling streets, meticulous carvings, and temples everywhere, all of which tell the story of the glory of this ancient city.
, no less than those famous cities in Europe.
Among the many Siamese-style houses in the south of the city, there is a rectangular ring-column building with a double-sided sloping roof and pediment walls. Greek carvings can be seen everywhere. This is the count of France, the Chao Phraya of Siam, and the common man of Greece.
Kang's home.
Not long ago, he had just been canonized by King Narei and was named Chao Phraya of Siam. This "Chao Phraya" is a noble title of Siam and is very noble. At this time, Siam was in a typical feudal state.
In a serf-based society, Chao Phrayas of all sizes divided up the country's land, and those who farmed their land were serfs: "pai".
Hual Kang was very proud. The title of "Chao Phraya" was not easy to obtain, especially for a foreigner like him. When he was in Greece, he was just a commoner. When he came to Siam, he became a noble.
Even King Louis XIV of France went all the way to make himself a count. What an honor it is!
Extreme joy gave rise to sadness. Just when he was feeling proud, the butler stumbled in and said, "Sir, it's not good! The Imperial Guards rebelled, and the rebels invaded the palace and arrested His Highness Apayet."
"What! Is the news reliable?"
"That's what His Highness Apayet's servants said when they fled to our house."
Hua Erkan was confused. In his heart, he was actually just a translator for a businessman. When he came to Siam, everything went so smoothly. He had never experienced anything like this.
"Hurry, get out of the city quickly." Finally, a hoarse voice came out of his throat.
But the housekeeper cried sadly, "It's too late, the rebels have already blocked the city gate."
The frightened Huakang only felt the world spinning for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Quickly, go to King Narei's palace!"
All his glory and wealth depended on King Narei. Now that he was in trouble, he naturally thought of this king again.
The coup organized by Papi Luoja went very smoothly. He was originally the general in charge of the palace guards, and he knew exactly where the king, concubines, and princes lived. In the sudden attack, the palace guards were killed before they even had time to react.
Or subdued. The general Basong captured the crown prince Yapaiyatuo, and he caught King Nare in the palace who was sleeping with the princess in his arms.
"I've treated you so well, so why rebel?" King Narei's voice was both shocked and angry.
After many years of accumulating power, Papi Luoja was discouraged, and then he realized that he must be justified in carrying out a coup! He must occupy the moral high ground and be more reasonable than the other party!
So, he snorted coldly and said confidently: "Your Highness does treat me well, but what you give me is just a personal favor; to change the ancestral system and sell Siam to the French is a national hatred. I dare not forget it with a personal favor."
The country hates us! So we can only raise righteous soldiers to get rid of the national traitors. Come, please take His Highness away." Good guy, with just one sentence, King Nare was beaten as a national traitor and imprisoned.
"Pass my general's order to ambush the troops in the palace." After dealing with King Nare, Papi Luoja gave the order.
"Commander, you have captured the king and the crown prince, why do you still want to ambush the palace?" left and right were confused.
"Haha, if there is no other way, I'll wait until Huaer Kang falls into the trap," Papi Luoja laughed.
"How do you conclude that the Greek will come to the palace?"
"Hmph, besides being able to confuse His Highness, does this person have any other abilities? Don't worry, he will definitely come."
As expected, Hua Erkang came to the palace. When he saw "King Nare" lying on the dragon bed, he burst into tears and said, "Your Highness, Papi Luoja has rebelled and wants to seize the throne of King of Siam. Please send troops to kill that traitor quickly."
, if it’s too late, it’s too late!”
"Haha, who is talking bad about me?"
"King Nare" sat up from the dragon bed, but it was Papi Luoja himself, staring at Hua Kang with a sinister smile. "Oh, it turns out to be Hua Kang, the most trusted foreign trade director and finance minister of His Highness. What's the matter?
Did you come here to speak ill of me again, Your Highness?"
Seeing that it was him, Hua Erkang knew that everything was over and collapsed softly on the ground.
??
During the Great City Incident, Papi Luoja, Basong, and Chalumphong easily captured the palace and captured King Nare, Yapaiyatu, and Hualkang alive, but they had disagreements over how to deal with them.<
/p>
The rebel generals such as Basong and Chalumphong were direct participants in the coup. They were afraid of retaliation and advocated forcing King Nare to abdicate. At the same time, he killed the crown princes Yapayet and Hualkan and replaced him with other sons of King Nare.
As the new king; however, some senior officials did not agree with King Nare's abdication, and only agreed to kill the crown princes Yapaiyatu and Hualkan, and establish King Nare's other sons as the crown princes.
Papi Luoja was undecided and suddenly wanted to hear the opinion of the sovereign.
He invited Ma Jixiang and asked: "Angel, although the great city is in our hands, who is King Nainare?"
Ma Jixiang had already calculated that King Narei had always been close to the Western Yi, and keeping him would be a disaster! So he changed the subject: "Does the commander want to let Yapaiyatu and Hualkang go?"
"Let these two people go! How is it possible? They are the culprits who attracted the French army and must be killed!" Pabloja said angrily.
"In that case, why are you still hesitating? Is there any reason to kill his son and still make his father the king? Do you still want to give King Narei a chance to revenge?" Ma Jixiang shouted.
With a word that woke up the dreamer, Papi Luoja suddenly realized that he had rebelled and was planning to kill King Narei's crown prince. This feud was so deep, how could he be allowed to stay on the throne and seek revenge on him?
He nodded repeatedly, "What the angel said is absolutely true. King Narei must be deposed. Do you think it would be better to depose Queen Narei and which of his sons should be made king?"
"Haha", Ma Jixiang smiled kindly, "The commander-in-chief is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, promotes righteous divisions, eliminates national traitors, and has made great contributions to the country's reconstruction. Why not report to the Ming Dynasty Emperor and proclaim himself the king?"
