Chapter 2316: Daqin cannot be humiliated, the five major kingdoms of Tianzhu
Chapter 2316: The Qin Dynasty cannot be humiliated, the five great kingdoms of Tianzhu
Ye Qingmei's voyage after leaving Annan was much more exciting than expected.
After leaving the Annan area, the fleet led by Ye Qingmei spent another month finally arriving in the Siam area.
But when he was about to land in Siam, he encountered the largest water bandit in the country.
Under the command of Qi Jiguang, the Great Qin navy annihilated all 10,000 invading water bandits with zero casualties, and eventually killed 3,000 and captured 7,000.
Among the four kingdoms of Siam, only the Kingdom of Thonburi and the Kingdom of Bangkok had exchanges with Daqin in advance.
However, the Sukhothai Kingdom and the Ayutthaya Kingdom did not even know the existence of Great Qin.
So this requires Ye Qingmei to take the initiative to contact the two kingdoms.
After Ye Qingmei arrived in Siam, he did not only trade with the Kingdom of Thonburi and the Kingdom of Bangkok alone, but first went as envoy to the Kingdom of Sukhothai and the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.
After Ye Qingmei revealed her identity, she was naturally welcomed by King Ram Kamhaeng of Sukhothai. However, she was worried about the trade between the two countries. She learned that the two kingdoms of Thonburi and Bangkok had signed trade agreements with Daqin.
After that, Lan Ganheng agreed to Da Qin's signing of the trade agreement.
Ye Qingmei's mission to the Sukhothai Kingdom went very smoothly, but her mission to the Ayutthaya Kingdom was not so smooth. As soon as Ye Qingmei entered the city, she was targeted by the fourth son of the king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.
The Fourth Prince of Dacheng was an out-and-out dandy. He had seen countless women and saw through Ye Qingmei's women's clothing at a glance. When he saw the sex, he set up troops on the streets of the capital to rob Ye Qingmei by force.
Ye Qingmei didn't want to cause trouble, so he directly revealed his identity as the envoy of Qin. However, the fourth prince had never heard of the country Qin at all, so naturally he was not interested in it because of his lust.
In the end, after killing more than 800 people in a row, Gai Nie Weizhuang protected Ye Qingmei and forced his way out of the capital city of Dacheng. However, the twenty guards accompanying him all died in the battle.
After Ye Qingmei escaped, she also secretly hated the Dacheng Kingdom, and guessed that the Dacheng Kingdom might send troops to retaliate, so she asked Qi Jiguang to prepare for the battle in advance.
As Ye Qingmei expected, with the instigation of the fourth prince, King Bolumo was furious when he learned that Wang Daqin's envoy had killed nearly a thousand guardsmen in the royal capital, so he ordered to send out 10,000 troops.
To take revenge.
Even before the Dacheng army reached the port, they were ambushed by 5,000 Qin troops prepared in advance. The 20,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and the death toll of the Qin army was less than double digits.
Revenge failed, but instead an army of 10,000 was lost. When Paramo learned about it, he became even more angry, so he sent out another 20,000 troops to take revenge.
After experiencing an ambush, the commander of the Dacheng Army was extremely cautious this time and did not give the Qin army any chance to set up an ambush. However, he was crushed by the Qin army's equipment.
Qi Jiguang relied on the Qin crossbow to have a far greater range than the Dacheng army. He used kite tactics to continuously wear down the strength of the Dacheng army, and finally defeated the Dacheng army again. The 20,000-strong army was wiped out.
After two consecutive defeats, Boromo finally calmed down and realized how powerful Da Qin was. However, he had lost so many armies, so naturally he could not bow to Ye Qingmei. He could only vent his resentment on the cheating fourth son.
On the body.
What Boromo didn't know was that his hesitation caused him to miss his last chance.
After two major defeats, Ye Qingmei sent envoys to ask for compensation from the minister's kingdom, but was ignored. So he went to lobby Sukhothai, Thonburi and Bangkok in person.
Ye Qingmei told the kings of the Three Kingdoms that the Dacheng Kingdom had lost 30,000 troops and suffered heavy casualties. Now is the best time to destroy the Dacheng Kingdom.
When Sukhothai and other kings of the three kingdoms learned that the Qin Dynasty actually defeated the 30,000-strong army of the great city with 5,000 naval troops, they did not believe it at first, but after receiving the exact information, they were left with only horror and awe.
The four kingdoms of Siam each had their own conflicts, and they all wanted to annex each other and unify Siam. However, their strengths were almost the same, and no one could destroy the other, so they were in a stage of balance. But now this balance has been broken by the Qin Dynasty.
.
The Kingdom of Ayutthaya has lost 30,000 troops, and the remaining troops will not exceed 60,000 at most. This is the best opportunity to annex it.
Naturally, the Three Kingdoms would not give up such a good opportunity. If they were slow, they might not even be able to drink the soup.
Under the leadership of Ye Qingmei, Sukhothai, Thonburi, Bangkok, and five other small countries jointly formed the anti-Ayutthaya coalition and sent a total of 150,000 troops to attack Ayutthaya.
King Boromo of the great city was horrified when he learned about it. He quickly ordered a nationwide military expansion. At the same time, he tied up the fourth prince and asked the envoy to take him to Ye Qingmei for disposal. He also gave hundreds of thousands of gold as compensation, hoping to exchange for
The envoy of Qin apologized, but unfortunately it was too late.
If Boromo had admitted his mistake and compensated before, there would naturally be nothing that happened later, but the current situation is no longer decided by Ye Qingmei.
Even if Ye Qingmei wants to cease the war, the other eight countries will not agree. Even if Ayutthaya is destroyed, the war may not end.
Even without Ye Qingmei, this war would break out sooner or later, Ye Qingmei just happened to do it.
Ye Qingmei cannot stop this war. All she can do is use this war to obtain greater benefits for Da Qin.
Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity when the war broke out, Ye Qingmei initially sold weapons to 80,000 members of the alliance.
Bangkok and other eight countries saw that Qin's weapons were indeed much more sophisticated than Siam's, so they all spent money to buy and replace them, and directly bought 80% of the remaining equipment in Ye Qingmei's hands.
With the Eight-Nation Allied Forces supported by Da Qin's equipment, their combat effectiveness has naturally increased greatly, and the Ayutthaya State, whose entire population has soldiers, has also urgently expanded its army to 200,000.
Although Ayutthaya has a large number of troops, its combat effectiveness is far behind that of the allied forces after the change of gear.
In the end, under the siege of Daqin and other nine-nation coalition forces, the Ayutthaya Kingdom lost its troops and generals, suffered repeated defeats, and lost one-third of its territory. The nine-nation coalition forces also successfully joined forces in the capital of Ayutthaya.
After joining forces, Ye Qingmei personally beheaded the four princes of Dacheng Kingdom in front of all the defenders of the capital of Dacheng and all the soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms Allied Forces, fully demonstrating to them what it means: the Qin Dynasty cannot be humiliated.
As the envoy of Great Qin, Ye Qingmei represents Great Qin, and insulting her is insulting Great Qin.
As soon as Ye Qingmei made this move, all the countries in Siam also respected Da Qin even more.
Ayutthaya was one of the four great kingdoms of Siam, but because a cheating dandy offended the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, the whole country had to be buried with him. This would be a miserable end.
Naturally, all countries do not want to be like the great city states, so they can only make good friends with the Great Qin Empire and cannot offend them.
People who were still a little cautious at first did not dare to test and provoke Da Qin, so that there would be no more disturbances in future trade.
After killing the fourth prince of Dacheng Kingdom, Ye Qingmei announced that Great Qin would withdraw from the war. However, even if Great Qin withdrew, the war was not over, but this had nothing to do with Ye Qingmei.
Ye Qingmei continued to trade with various countries and sold 60% of the cargo in the fleet to eight countries including Bangkok.
As for the remaining goods, the Eight Kingdoms naturally wanted them, but they really had no financial resources to buy them, so Ye Qingmei had no choice but to go to the next stop and continue selling them.
After the goods were sold, Ye Qingmei started another business, human trafficking.
After the Qin Dynasty defeated the Siamese water bandits, it defeated the Ayutthaya army one after another. Now the number of prisoners captured has accumulated to nearly 40,000.
Since there were too many prisoners of war, it was impossible for the Qin fleet to take them away, so they could only be used as slaves and sold to the Siamese countries.
These prisoners were all strong and strong, and if they were given a weapon, they would become soldiers, so naturally all countries wanted them, but they really couldn't afford the money.
Seeing this, Ye Qingmei proposed to exchange female slaves, one female slave for a male slave.
All the countries in Siam agreed to hand it back, but the slave women were not from their own countries, but from the Ayutthaya they occupied.
Due to the war, the Qin Dynasty now generally has more women than men, but there are still a lot of soldiers who cannot afford wives. These female slaves can just be rewarded as wives for the soldiers.
In the end, after exchanging 40,000 female slaves with various countries, Ye Qingmei once again sent a fleet of thousands of people, loaded with goods and female slaves, back to Qingzhou, while she stayed to continue discussing port matters.
After discussing the construction and management of the port, Ye Qingmei ignored Qi Jiguang's strong opposition and named the new port: Jiguang Port, leaving a hundred soldiers to manage it, and then led the fleet to continue to Myanmar.
.
Everyone in Ye Qingmei has left, but the war in Siam is still going on.
The capital city of Ayutthaya struggled to hold on for three months, running out of ammunition and food, but was finally defeated by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. Both sides paid an extremely heavy price.
However, before the city was broken, King Paramo led his army to break through and fled to another city, and continued to resist the invasion of other countries. It was not until Ye Qingmei returned home half a year later that the country was completely destroyed.
After the Eight-Nation Allied Forces completely destroyed the Ayutthaya Kingdom, conflicts arose due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, and they even started attacking each other. Three small countries were directly destroyed.
Since then, the Siam War once again entered the Unification War.
It is said that after leaving Siam, Ye Qingmei arrived in Myanmar after only half a month of sailing.
The three major kingdoms of Bagan, Taungoo, and Konbaung in Myanmar, as well as seven other small kingdoms, have learned of the existence of the Qin mission through the Siam War.
After the arrival of the Da Qin envoy, the various countries in Myanmar did not dare to neglect and hosted a banquet in honor of Ye Qingmei. The trade affairs were also extremely smooth, not like Siam's twists and turns.
The ten major forces in Myanmar could buy all the goods of Daqin, but Ye Qingming considered that if they were all sold to Myanmar, they would not be able to trade with Tianzhu, so he only bought half of the equipment and goods.
Among them, the Bagan Kingdom bought the most, buying about one-third of the equipment and one-quarter of the goods.
After negotiating about the port, Ye Qingmei named the new port Mai Port after Magellan, who returned early, and then continued to Tianzhu with his fleet.
As soon as Ye Qingmei left, a war broke out in Myanmar.
After Anuruddha, the king of Bagan, bought equipment from Ye Qingmei, he realized that the combat power of his army had exceeded that of the other two countries, so he took the initiative to provoke a war.
At first, Anuruddha just wanted to take advantage and did not want to make the matter a big deal. However, as the war progressed to the later stage, it became more and more out of control, and eventually turned into a melee among the ten countries.
By the time Ye Qingmei returned, two small countries had already been annexed by the big country.
After leaving Myanmar, it took Ye Qingmei another month to arrive at the final destination of her voyage to the West, Tianzhu.
Tianzhu is located in the South Asian continent, and South Asia has a total area of about 4.3 million kilometers. In later generations, there were a total of 7 countries and a quarter of the world's population.
Naturally, these countries have not yet been born, but there are hundreds of local forces.
While still staying in Myanmar, Ye Qingmei managed to obtain some information about Tianzhu, but it was not comprehensive. After arriving in Tianzhu, it took another half a month to collect all the information about Tianzhu.
.
Today, Tianzhu in the South Asian continent has five hegemonic powers, 16 kingdoms, and more than 300 small countries.
These five overlords are: Kushan Empire, Mughal Empire, Timurid Empire, Mauryan Kingdom and Gupta Kingdom. They are all countries that have appeared in India in history.
The current monarch of the Kushan Empire is Kanishaka. After successively annexing more than a dozen forces, the Kushan Empire now has a total population of nearly ten million and is the dominant force in the northern part of the South Asian continent.
The current monarch of the Mughal Empire is Babur, who was the founding emperor of the Mughal Dynasty in history. He is currently the overlord of the western region of South Asia. Its sphere of influence extends to Central Asia, and the country has a total population of more than eight million.
The Timur Empire, the current monarch Timur, is the founding emperor of the Timur Empire in history. It is currently the overlord of the northwestern region of the South Asian continent. Its territory also includes a large amount of Central Asia, and the country has a total population of more than seven million.
The Timurid Empire and the Kushan Empire were the only two countries whose territorial scope expanded beyond South Asia to Central Asia.
The current monarch of the Mauryan Kingdom is King Moon Guardian, who was the founding king of the Mauryan Dynasty in history. He is currently the overlord of the southern region of South Asia, with a total population of nearly seven million.
The current king of the Gupta Kingdom is Chandragupta I, the founder of the Gupta Dynasty in history. He is currently the overlord of the eastern region of South Asia, with a total population of nearly six million.
Kanishaka is a local figure, the Moon Protector, Chandragupta I is a human figure born from Baizhaka, and Babur and Timur are hidden figures from Baizhaka.
In addition to the above five major forces, Tianzhu also has fifteen kingdoms with a total population of between 300,000 and one million, divided into: Jiashi, Kosala, Yunjia, Fulitian, Moluo, Zhi
In addition to the three major empires, the two overlord kingdoms, and the fifteen kingdoms, there are nearly 300 small forces in Tianzhu with a population of less than 200,000.
South Asia has a total area of 4.3 million kilometers, but there are more than 300 forces. The overall situation is more chaotic than Southeast Asia.
Among the five overlords, the Kushan Empire was the strongest and continued to expand, followed by the Mughal and Timurid empires.
However, with the rise of the Maurya Kingdom and the Gupta Kingdom, the Kushan Empire and Timurid Empire in the north, as well as the Mughal Empire in the west, were weakened to varying degrees.
The Kushan Empire is not bad. Even if it is weakened, the overall trend is still expansion, and its national power has not declined.
But the situation of the other two countries is not so good. Not only has their expansion trend been cut off, but their national strength has also declined a lot, and they have become weaker and weaker.
The two great kingdoms of Maurya and Gupta are expected to become the fourth and fifth empires of India.
