The five thousand Ming troops easily destroyed Siam, and Siam was a powerful Western power. Although Sulu's national strength was not small, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Siam. However, this Western overlord finished his words and did not even breathe. The Siam royal family, which lasted for ten generations, has now been destroyed overnight, which is really eye-opening.

At this time, everyone realized that the Ming Dynasty was not a vegetarian. Although they went to the West and were kind to each other, they also had the strength to make you never turn over.

Sulu Sultan Kiram was naturally worried because he said that there were many Han people in Sulu, and the treatment of Chinese merchants and Chinese was probably not much better than that of Siam. If one day, the Ming army would be in a big way in the name of oppressing Chinese merchants, how could this be better?

Although Sulu was an island country, don’t forget that the Ming army attacked Siam and used ships. In other words, as long as there were five thousand Ming troops and boarded a ship, Sulu could be destroyed in three months, and the Sultan of Kiram was probably going to destroy the family.

How could Kiram not be afraid? Therefore, he was relaxed and discussed with the Prime Minister about treating Chinese merchants and Chinese well, intending to imitate Siam and give Chinese a certain advantageous position. However, not everyone in this country agreed. Some wealthy families in Sulu strongly opposed them. Their reasons were very simple, that is, Chinese merchants were rich enough to compete with their country, with great financial resources and a large population, and they were under pressure. It is still the case. Once treated well, with their financial resources, their relationship with their mother country, and their relationship network, it will take several years to take place in Sulu, in this country, the Chinese merchants will be influential in politics. Do the Sulu people act according to the Chinese's expression?

In fact, their reasoning is not wrong. It is from their standpoint.* is not emotionally malicious, but everyone understands that Chinese are much stronger than natives. If they really compete fairly, there will be nothing like them. Whether they are playing politics, business, or literature, they are no match for others. If they want to maintain the supremacy of Sulu, they must suppress them tightly. They discriminate against them, or even harvest them every now and then, and sometimes they directly incite the lower classes to burn, kill, rob, and severely damage their vitality.

This is not the policy pursued by Sulu. Although Western countries all praised the vassal of the Ming Dynasty, this has always been the case for the Chinese.

Kiram encountered strong opposition, and there were two ways before him. After frequent fierce controversy, the Sultan finally made up his mind and issued an edict in person to invite some of the more famous Chinese merchants in the country to enter the palace, and the Sultan personally held a banquet.

This is a signal. For the Sultan, once trouble occurs due to this matter, the person who bears the trouble is himself. Those princes and nobles can become the Wutai people of Siam, and the rise of Chinese merchants will harm the interests of local tyrants, at least temporarily, and will not harm the Sultan. As long as you see clearly the choice of this interest, the Sultan will naturally choose the former.

This is true for Sulu, and it is also generally true for other countries, with their eyes looking at Siam.

But in Siam, a cleanup is underway.

The Siam King was executed, and then, without any warning, a team of Ming troops arrived at the Kwai River Prefecture.

The leader of the team was Hao Fenglou, who should have lived a life of drunkenness in Siam.

The arrival of Hao Fenglou shocked the Siamese officials in the Kwai River. Without saying a word, they hurried to the gate of the city to greet him. General Kwai River was afraid of angering the legendary Marquis of Ming Dynasty, and invited many local Chinese merchants to greet him.

But teams of soldiers entered the city, and Hao Fenglou was also wearing military uniforms. He ignored them and entered the city. Hundreds of Ming soldiers were on standby. Hao Fenglou ordered and said, "Get someone."

Immediately, teams of officers and soldiers dispersed and knew the Kwai Mansion well. In a moment, they began to search from house to house.

The Kwai River Mansion is not far from the king, but there is a family here, where Tai comes from. The Ritai family has a great family and has always been a powerful figure in the Kwai River Mansion. In addition, Ritai's sister is the queen and has a more prominent position, but today, she is suffering.

All the tribes involved were taken out, hundreds of them. The Kwai Mansion was shocked. It didn't take long for the whole Siam to shake. This Lord Hao was really cruel. Although he adopted a policy of gentleness in Siam and was reasonable for surrendered ministers like Wutai, he was extremely cruel to the royal family and Litai. Occasionally, there were people who blew up and resisted stubbornly, and the Ming army did not hesitate to kill people.

Hao Fenglou's move was really shocked and he couldn't help but add some topic of discussion.

But Hao Fenglou came here just because he had nothing to do. The overall situation in Siam has been decided, and the real struggle should be in the court.

In fact, compared to the temple, although Siam has experienced ups and downs, it is much simpler.

A report was sent to the capital with a pegasus head.

In fact, during this period, the cabinet and the six ministries were also in a mess.

The Ming Dynasty has declared war. Since it is a declaration of war, it is going to fight. As long as a proclamation is issued, the issue of fighting or not fighting must be shelved, because the debate is meaningless. The court's face is the most important thing now. In any case, the Siam matter must be resolved.

Now in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's prestige is growing, and it can be said that it will win every battle. Whether it is against Jiaozhi or the use of troops in Mobei, he has almost never suffered a loss. This time, Siam must be the same.

But the emperor was happy and declared war was his decree, but the specific matters still had to be handled.

The relationship between the various departments was quite good, but it was a bit nervous recently. The Ministry of War is the most responsible. Once the army is not good, you will not be able to escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty. Therefore, the Ministry of War is now thinking about allocating money, grain and troops from all over the place, preparing to go to Jiaozhi, and deploy troops at any time. The troops of the various guards of Jiaozhi are only 40,000 to 50,000, and they are more than 50,000 but not enough to make progress. If the court does not send a hundred thousand troops, there will be no capital to take down Zhenla, but there are only elite soldiers. However, if you want to recruit people, you can still not escape the word "money". If there is no money or food, what's the use? The Ministry of War

Now I am accounting for this matter every day, and I argue with the Ministry of Revenue every day, but I cursed the country bumpkin named Hao of Langshan every day. The father and son are also weird. They brag every day and say that they must be a thug of a thousand miles. The court is waiting for the good news, but they are scared. It will take so many years to wait for the good news. Niu and the others brag, which leads to the emperor's confidence. So they issued a manifesto. Later, after careful consideration, it was unreliable. If this Hao surname may not be expected, the court still has to come. It is said that it is the court, but the palace orders are ordered, and it is not the Ministry of War that is unlucky in the end.

So he dispatched troops and generals, and then the Minister of War became a regular visitor to the Ministry of Revenue, which was quite like an official stationed in Beijing. He didn't go to the Ministry of War to sing Mao at all. Every day, he went to the Ministry of Revenue directly. In a word, is there any money?

The Ministry of Revenue has been convicted since Xia Yuanji. Now the new Minister of Revenue Gu Pu was originally the Minister of Revenue. He is familiar with the ministry. But the more he is familiar with the ministry, the more he knows the situation of the Ministry of Revenue. Curry is actually not without money, but he is too short of money. If the money is given to you, others will have to come to collect debts. You can't favor one or the other. This military attack is of course the top priority. The Ministry of Revenue does not do its best to cooperate, but you must not let it take too easily. Otherwise, do you think the Ministry of Revenue is a gold medal?

The Ministry of Revenue actually knows the difficulties of the Ministry of War and knows that the other party is not easy, but after being entangled by the Ministry of War, I couldn't help but want to curse people. After thinking about it, the one who should be scolded in the end seemed to be the father and son of Lang San. Didn't they fan the flames and have such a thing?

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue have no consensus on it, so the dealings are all due to the Hao family. Everyone sits together and talks with others, they will inevitably argue. But if they use the Hao family to make an opening remark, even the Shangshu Gubutang, who is usually serious and does not discuss right and wrong, could not help but look angry and sarcastic, and said a few sarcastic words: "It's better not to say such villains. Those who harm the people will be the father and son."

The Censorate is even more lively. Now the one with the surname Hao is really kicked to the iron plate. If they want to make a big fight, they instigate the palace. Everyone dares to scold the emperor for taking rash weapons. Can you not scold your surname Hao? In fact, this is still secondary. The most important thing is that Xia Butang, a gentleman from the state, was convicted for impeaching the father and son. This is a sudden public discussion. The Censorate who is in charge of cursing people cannot fall behind. If they fall behind, will they be worthy of the martyrs of all dynasties?

Therefore, the envoys almost cursed in various ways, and all kinds of impeachment memorials were varied, with contents not less than news from a certain island in later generations. They involved the crimes of the Hao family, which was a strange glory.

Fortunately, the Hao family is a "royal relative" after all, and the "news" such as "sweeping off the ashes" by Mr. Hao, who is best at scolding, have not been released.
