During this period, there have been many incidents in the East China Government. In addition to the northwest, there are military operations in the northwest, and the construction of the northeast is also in full swing, and there are also major breakthroughs in the field of diplomacy.

First of all, Zhang Zhenxun sent a message to Siam. Siam hoped to contact and exchange with the East China government, develop economic, trade and even political relations, and also brought a special envoy.

Siam is the old name of Thailand. It was founded in the 13th century and has a history of nearly 800 years. It has experienced four eras: Sukhothai Dynasty, Ayutahy Dynasty (Ayutthaya Dynasty), Thonburi Dynasty, and Chokri Dynasty (Bangkok Dynasty). In the world, this history is not short, but it is just around the East Asian monster house. It takes less than a thousand years, so I am reluctant to say that I have history.

Since entering the Age of Discovery, all Southeast Asian countries have been invaded by European countries and become colonies one after another. However, in the tide of history, Siam was able to follow the trend and take advantage of the situation. Among the many powerful peoples, they were very soft in their stature. At the same time, they actively learned new knowledge, made enterprising, and reformed the old. Therefore, when all the surrounding countries became European national colonies, Siam was able to survive. Together with Japan and China, they became the only three countries in the Far East that could maintain sovereignty and independence in this era.

Siam is the current Kekri Dynasty. The King of Bangkok, the most famous Emperor Chulalongkorn in Thailand's history. At that time, this monarch had been in power for more than 40 years. He was enlightened and wise, far-sighted, defended the country with resistance against foreign countries and protected the country, abandoned small profits and made the overall situation. As the European powers approached step by step, Chulalongkorn consolidated his army and worked hard on diplomatic affairs, and turned the tide, which finally made Thailand maintain sovereignty and independence. He also visited Western European powers several times, learned experience, and carried out a series of Western model reform movements, laying the foundation for Siam's social development and becoming the beginning of Siam's modernization.

However, although Chulalongkorn has a good governance, Siam has a weak national strength and poor social and economic foundation. It cannot be caught up in a short period of time. It can maintain the sovereignty, independence and autonomy of the country. It was achieved at the heavy cost of losing a large area of ​​territory. Even during Chulalongkorn's rule, Laos, which belonged to Siam, was ceased to Indochina, under the French territory, in 1893, and compensation of 3 million gold francs. In 1904, the land east of the Mekong River was abandoned and the four states on the Malay Peninsula were ceased to Britain and France in exchange for extraterritorial rights of Britain and France in Thailand, etc., which could be maintained by small countries. What a hard thing it was.

As a monarch with a world perspective, Chulalongkorn is naturally very concerned about the development and changes of the international situation. The establishment of the East China Government attracted the attention of Chulalongkorn. The East China Government won the Far East War, defeated the five countries of Britain, France, Japan, Russia and the Netherlands, and robbed Borneo from Britain and the Netherlands, which also shocked Chulalongkorn. Unexpectedly, the East China Government had such strong combat power, and at the same time realized that the situation in the Far East would inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes. Chulalongkorn also thought that if Siam could win the East China Government well and attract foreign aid, then he could have an extra bargaining chip when dealing with other powers.

However, after more than 40 years of ups and downs and having been surviving in the cracks of a great country, Zhulalongkorn has also developed a cautious and unrestrained style of acting. Moreover, he does not know what the situation of the East China Government is, and the rumors he hears are very different, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly, but he secretly sent people to collect various information and information from the East China Government.

Zhang Zhenxun's family has a large number of business dealings in Southeast Asia, and there are many business industries in Siam. Chulalongkorn knows that he has a close relationship with the East China Government, so he specially invited Zhang Zhenxun twice to inquire about the East China Government. Zhang Zhenxun had long been instructed by the East China Government. In front of Chulalongkorn, he praised the East China Government for its enlightenment, good governance, efficiency and martial arts. On the other hand, he also expressed Chulalongkorn's kindness to Siam, which made Chulalongkorn very happy and was also confused about the East China Government.

Of course, Zhu Lalonggong would not only believe Zhang Zhenxun's one-sided remarks. Through inquiries from multiple sources, information confirms each other, it can basically be confirmed that most of the feelings Zhang Zhenxun said are true. Therefore, Zhu Lalonggong also had the idea of ​​making friends with the East China government. So when he met Zhang Zhenxun for the second time, Zhu Lalonggong expressed his willingness to have a good relationship with the East China government, hoping that Zhang Zhenxun could lead a needle and communicate with both sides.

Zhang Zhenxun immediately expressed his welcome, and also suggested that Zhu Lalonggong send a special envoy to Qingdao secretly with him to communicate with officials of the East China Government in person. Zhu Lalonggong also thought that this suggestion was good. Bi Jing and Zhang Zhenxun was just a businessman and could not convey a deeper message, so he decided to send his younger brother Prince Shawangweng as the special envoy and go to Qingdao with Zhang Zhenxun.

This news naturally made the East China Government very happy, because Siam had no diplomatic relations with the Qing court, but took the initiative to contact the East China Government and hoped to develop diplomatic relations with the East China Government. This shows that the influence of the East China Government has expanded to the entire Far East. Moreover, after the reunification of the country, the East China Government will definitely expand to the outside world and establish its own sphere of influence. The first direction of expansion is East Asia and Southeast Asia. Siam is an important country in Southeast Asia and is also one of the few countries in the Far East that can maintain independence and independence. If a good diplomatic relationship can be established with the East China Government, it will naturally be very beneficial to the East China Government's integration in the future. Therefore, the East China Government decided to grandly receive Prince Sawangweng and express the goodwill of the East China Government to Siam.

At the same time, news came from Germany that the Ottoman Turkish Empire told the East China Government that it hoped to send a mission to visit the East China Government within 9 or 10 years this year.

The East China Government visited Europe at the beginning of last year, one of which was the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Both sides had a happy conversation. The Ottoman Turkish Empire wanted to form a good East China Government and fight against Tsarist Russia. The East China Government wanted to expand its diplomatic space and use the Ottoman Turkish Empire as a springboard to enter the Middle East. Therefore, both sides had an intention. The Ottoman Turkish Emperor Abdul Hamid II immediately decided that he would organize a mission to visit the East China Government in the second half of the year and negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides.

But in July of that year, the Ottoman Turkish emperors had a coup. The Unification and Progress Association, formed by a group of young officers, launched an uprising, demanding that the Ottoman Turkish Empire restore the constitution and reopen the parliament. In April 1909, it controlled the capital Istanbul, re-proposed the Council, deposed Abdul Hamid II, and established his brother Mohamed Reich as the monarch, establishing a constitutional monarchy. The Turkish Al-Shabaab Party came to power.

After the coup, the ruling Turkish Al-Shabaab decided to continue to implement Abdul Hamid II's plan, sending a delegation to the East China Government to negotiate and establish diplomatic relations. Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire had restored stability, Russia was still the biggest external threat, so building a good East China Government was naturally the best choice for the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Now the East China Government has no direct contact with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and can only communicate through Germany. The development of diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Turkish Empire was also a diplomatic decision that the East China Government had already made, but because of the political changes in the Ottoman Turkish Empire were shelved. Now the Ottoman Turkish Empire took the initiative to propose it, and the East China Government naturally agreed, so it immediately replied to the Ottoman Turkish Empire and welcomed their visit. It also suggested that this visit be established directly at the East China Government, so that the two sides could communicate directly.

Under such circumstances, the East China Government naturally did not want any troubles, but at this time, Japan was like crazy, supporting Pu Ye to become emperor. Not only did it occupy Fujian, but it also had to rent Wenzhou Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture, which also made the East China Government quite embarrassed whether to come forward to stop Japan.

If the East China government wants to stop Japan, it is very likely that a full-scale war will break out with Japan again. However, with the current national strength of the East China government, it is obviously not enough to launch such a large-scale war. The military operations in the northwest and Mongolia will inevitably stop, which is contrary to the major strategic policy of the East China government to unify the north and from north to south, and unify the country.

But if Japan is not stopped, there will be endless troubles. One reason is that after Japan's aggression this time has achieved the sweetness, it will inevitably encourage Japan's gambler's psychology. If it becomes more and more difficult, it will make similar aggression in the future. Even other countries will imitate it. Anyway, it is clear that the East China government has no energy to take care of the south now; in addition, for so many years, the East China government has been building its own character to safeguard national interests, sovereignty, and territory. Now Japan is clearly invading, but the East China government does not come forward to stop Japan, which will inevitably make people lose their talk.
