The King of Siam did not object to what Pei Ji said, and his words did not mean he had any objections to Pei Ji.
However, for the King of Siam...
What kind of thinking should we use to look at the problem? It is a long-term matter, and how to deal with it may come at any time... No, it is the Tang fleet that will definitely arrive soon. This is an immediate matter.
I can’t understand the immediate things, and the long-term problems have no meaning...
Not because he disagreed, but because as the king of Siam and the leader of the largest country in the Southeast, his perspective was different from that of foreign visitors like Pei Ji, so he had to think this way.
Such thinking is not a happy thing, but it is certainly an important thing.
But obviously, Pei Ji came prepared.
Time has changed, and Qiwang of the Five Surnames has to stay away from overseas and try to find a new host. But...
Even though times have changed, Pei Ji still has the confidence to play the role of think tank and brain.
"Your Majesty, please don't bother... Although this matter is somewhat dangerous, it will not really endanger us. Your Majesty, please think about it, this southeast corner is not just for us, but also Li Tang's garrison..."
Pei Ji originally... originally saw that Pei Ji had something to say, and the King of Siam was also very excited.
It’s not that I have to argue about this matter, but think about it no matter what, I have to find a way to solve this matter, and Pei Ji said that this is the best, as long as it can be solved, but when he talked about this...
Damn it, don’t I know that there is Li Tang’s garrison in the southeast?
Then you should still occupy my land in Siam!
Of course, Siam did not lose the most land, Luzon lost the most, but...
But this is undoubtedly a scar in the heart of the King of Siam, or a fishbone in his throat.
Not even mentioning what to do with these garrison troops, the situation in front of you is that the Tang Dynasty may send naval warships over at any time. You don’t even say how to deal with it, and you still mention this, but then again...
How to deal with the Tang garrison in the future, and what to do, there is still no idea about this matter.
Who has an idea? No one has an idea, that is, they are just hanging here, and everyone just pretends that they don't exist... At least these Tang garrison troops have not suddenly gone berserk to capture the city, they are just deliberately selling strange goods and buying land.
Then again...
Now that Siam has taken the initiative - although it is not all Siam, in the eyes of the Tang State, Siam is undoubtedly the main participant and the main target - it has taken the initiative to provoke the Tang State and directly asked the other party for a ransom...
Although the challenge to the Tang State was not directly in the official name, but in the name of pirates... However, no matter how you think about it, this matter is too exciting... It is like a mouse licking a cat... a cat...
Thinking about it afterwards... I almost feel that this is a completely whimsical behavior. Right? Is that why we held the meeting...
The King of Siam tried hard to tell himself that he was overthinking, but... as a king, it was impossible to "tell himself that he was overthinking". The Tang garrison was there.
The Tang State's garrison is there, and its size has exceeded 50,000. Counting the slaves that the Tang State has recently transported there, the total number is nearly 200,000 young and middle-aged men with extremely high military literacy and fully armed.
If it were just the 50,000 elites, then Siam would not be so afraid - although Siam is a country without "since ancient times" or even "what our ancestors did", but the land where Siam is located, according to legend, has
In the past, there was a powerful regime that almost unified the entire Southeast Area, Wu Defeng... The current state cannot be said to be full of military virtue, but it is indeed... at least from the perspective of the King of Siam, it is impossible for the Southeast Area to be conquered by 50,000 Tang troops.
Flattened.
In fact, it is indeed impossible...
Although the King of Siam had no real reliable impression of the strength of the Tang Dynasty's imperial army, the Tang Dynasty's imperial army...
Under the previous national policy of "going global", when we first entered Southeast Asia, we were mainly engaged in production. The main mission was a farm game based on management and cultivation, not StarCraft.
This can be regarded as the place where China is truly superior to Japan, or the group of people in Europe and America, and is truly more powerful than these unscrupulous people. It does not use death to make the world surrender, but uses life to achieve this!
As for now... the Southeast Area has been developed for a few years, although it will definitely not be possible to build a metropolis on a piece of white land immediately like later generations in a few years. There are only tens of thousands of people who do not have modern machinery, so what?
It can be said that things are quite difficult, and the progress cannot be made quickly. But then again, Li Er is an Emperor Wu after all, and he still has a good understanding of what the soldiers stationed abroad need, and it can even be said that he is quite familiar with the supply of materials.
The support was quite adequate, so the military town was built.
But then again, although the military town was built, but...
The military town itself has been built, and the Forbidden Army finally has self-sustainability in this overseas base. This is an extremely important change, because... with self-sustainability, this place is no longer just a "territory", but
A "land".
It is part of the vitality of Datang. However, with vitality... In recent years, Datang has made money through sea trade and bought land here. As time goes by, the land is getting more and more. In this regard,
Normally it would not be easy to do, but the merchants gathered in Hangzhou at that time were not ordinary people, and there were quite a few geniuses among them. Some good people suggested to an acquaintance of the Forbidden Army officers to directly use the goods as collateral for exchange.
territory……
In the Tang Dynasty, let alone the various kinds of flowers produced by the people, we only talk about the various steel mills and weaving factories run by the Tang Dynasty government... Although these products are not as diverse as those produced by private factories and workshops, they are very important to overseas countries.
In terms of.
That's still the "Made in Germany, everyone knows it" level!
The exchange capabilities are absolutely outstanding.
Because of this, the land is expanding very fast... Then again, this is the core reason why the Southeast Asian countries can no longer "ignore and observe" the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, and decide the real
Stretch out your hand and test it to see if this thing is a giant beast from ancient times or a big fat pig...
At present, the result of Siam's observation is that it is okay. After all, you see, the Tang army has tens of thousands of soldiers in the southeast, and there has been no big movement so far. Could this be a giant beast from the wild? Impossible, that thing is very violent.
But you see, the Tang Dynasty was not violent.
For the Siamese…
After all, it was too far away from the Tang Dynasty. Most Siamese... no, or rather all Siamese, had never heard of the saying: a dog that bites will not bark.
