Chapter 449 Allied Siam

Siamese dance not only has elegant dance postures, but also gorgeous and exquisite costumes. Beauties and gorgeous clothes dance gracefully, like flowers circling.

"This victory depends entirely on the generals and the power of two thousand Ming warriors." Nachai raised his glass to his respectful glass and smiled earnestly.

Zhang Zhonggui and others raised their glasses to return, and the guests and hosts talked happily, and laughter kept ringing during the meal.

As the Ming army secretly aided Thailand, they were actually mainly artillery soldiers, with only 500 flintlock rifles. They carried dozens of jails and forced them into Thailand half a year ago, and built hundreds more jails in Siam.

Relying on the advantage of firepower and the suddenness of use, the Burmese army defeated in one fell swoop, occupied the important city of Bagan, ending the stalemate between the two sides for decades.

If it is just a battle, it will not have a decisive impact on the military situation between the two countries.

However, the Ming Empire had launched heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on Myanmar and won consecutive victories, forcing the Burmese army to retreat to defend Awa City.

In other words, after the Siam army defeated the enemy in front of them, they could advance straight forward, and the Burmese army basically had no troops to adjust. Even if they could mobilize their troops from afar, it would be too late to go in time.

Siam and Myanmar have fought for hundreds of years. Although it is not yet time to completely destroy Myanmar, the attitude of the Ming Dynasty and Siam to form an alliance to deal with Myanmar together has been clearly expressed.

The King of Siam has sent an envoy to the capital with a great gift to pay homage to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. After the alliance was reached, the two sides advanced and retreated together and fought against the enemy together, which is equivalent to sentenced Myanmar to death.

Even if Myanmar cannot be destroyed in the short term, it will be difficult for Myanmar to turn over under the suppression and attack of the Ming Dynasty and Siam. It is a matter of time before and after the demise is over.

The Ming Dynasty's military aid regiment taught the art of casting and artillery, not only achieved great victory in this battle, but also had great significance for the development of Siam's military power.

Based on these factors, it is not surprising that Siam showed great enthusiasm for the Ming army soldiers who aided Thailand.

Moreover, the Ming Empire had no plan to swallow Myanmar, but Siam hoped to destroy Myanmar in one fell swoop, thus completely ending the hundreds of years of war between the two countries.

"Long live my emperor, wise and powerful, and destroying Myanmar should be planned." Zhao Zongyou, the envoy to Siam, did not speak vain and perfunctorily for the temptation of Siam officials. He put down his wine glass and said slowly: "But whale swallowing is not the best strategy, and there are many disadvantages. Cutting flesh with a blunt knife will constantly weaken the strength of the Burmese people and promote civil strife. It will be easier to destroy Myanmar."

After pausing, Zhao Zongyou continued: "The two countries are one in the north and one in the east, and they are in a pincer attack. The Burmese people dare not act rashly. If the Burmese people attack your country, our Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops to help. There is no doubt about this."

"That's right, that's right." Nachai nodded repeatedly and said, "The Burmese are now fish on the chopping board, and let them jump for a while."

In fact, decisions at this level are no longer something that envoys and officials can control. But they can represent the direction of their own policies and know the intentions and tendencies of some emperors or Thai kings.

The Thais also studied and understood the Ming Dynasty and knew that the current emperor was not a founding king. Siam knew everything about the development of Mekong Province and the encroachment of Zhen La.

Shui Zhenla was still a vassal state of Siam at that time, and the competition and control of Shui Zhenla between Siam and Annan was also underway.

The Ming Dynasty joined the territorial scramble for the Indochina Peninsula, and the situation was quite complicated. Siam meant to give up Shui Zhenla and let the Ming and Annan compete.

But as Siam's feud, Myanmar must be eliminated. This requires the power of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is swallowing or eroding, the Ming Dynasty will press on the Burmese people, which will prevent Myanmar from concentrating its full strength.

Moreover, the emperor of the Ming Empire expressed enough goodwill to the Siam royal family.

Not only did he reward precious large dressing mirrors, teach heavy manufacturing and operation techniques, he also sold thousands of new muskets to Siam and helped train Siam soldiers.

New military technologies and new tactics have always been the secret of the military and national affairs. The Ming Dynasty's move was generous and generous, showing full sincerity.

Therefore, the Siam royal family has decided to establish long-term good relations with the Ming Dynasty, sending each other permanent envoys and signing alliance treaties, which are major events that have been decided and put into practice.

The Ming Empire established another strong enemy for Myanmar. In the future, relying on the chieftain coalition and a small number of Ming army artillery, it could continue to weaken and erode Myanmar without making too much investment.

At the same time, another Ming army and chieftain coalition had entered the car. After Meng Gen subdued the two Xuanwei envoys, he would open up a land access with Siam.

The rice from Siam will be transported in a steady stream in the future and will become an important material for the Ming Empire to fight against major disasters.

These political and military operations are based on the friendly relationship between Siam and the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the capricious Burmese, Siam's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was very consistent.

Even when the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was in turmoil in history, Siam also took in many Ming dynasties who were wandering in their country, and sent people to contact Li Dingguo, willing to provide horse elephants and provide a base for restoration.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

In many things, the emperor is still very kind and not all about profit-oriented considerations.

Of course, except for Siam, the emperors were full of malicious intentions towards Myanmar, Annan and other countries. They gritted their teeth and tried every means to kill them.

The atmosphere was warm and the two sides also finalized the next combat plan.

"Our army guarded Bagan, and cut off the important path for the Awa Myanmar army to retreat south. The Myanmar army either retreated westward or retreated southward; or went south to fight to the death to open the retreat."

"Our army is waiting for labor to fight against the Burmese army in Bagan City. If it is completely wiped out, more than half of the Burmese troops will be lost, and the Meng tribe in the south will inevitably cause chaos, and the country will be destroyed in a long time!"

Nachai obviously had discussed it with the Siamese generals and adopted the most secure combat plan. If he was more active, he should lead his army north along the Ava River and jointly besiege Ava City with the Ming army.

Zhao Zongyou said with a slight head and said, "This is a perfect solution. I have discussed it with General Zhang, so I can implement it accordingly."

The number of soldiers aiding Taiming was small, and most of them were technical troops. The positioning was clear, and the support of the Thai army was not overtaken. As long as there were no major problems, the command was carried out by the Siamese generals.

Obviously, defending the city and shaking the enemy's retreat is the safest way. The main force of the Ming army did not need the Siamese army to assist in the war, just like the chieftain coalition forces just took action.

The Ming generals also had an accurate understanding of the combat power of the Siam army.

Although they won a battle, they relied on the power of artillery to catch the Burmese army off guard. The many war elephants not only failed to play a role, but also accelerated the Burmese army's defeat because of their fright.

Therefore, as long as Bagan is defended and the retreat of the Awa Myanmar army directly to the south is panic and unstable, it has already helped the Ming army.
