Come to Daming with military supplies

"This king knows, this king knows. But

Do we still have a choice now? The danger of Spain will only happen in the future, but now the mercenaries have already killed us. If there is no other way, the country will be destroyed, the country will be destroyed. Tears flowed from Boromo's eyes. One is a wolf and the other is a tiger, how difficult it is for him to be caught between them. But now, in order to drive away the tiger, he can only take the initiative to introduce the wolf into the house.

Ding Dingwei still wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak.As the leftist minister of a country and the person the king trusts the most, he really wants to relieve the king's worries and do something for the Phnom Penh Dynasty, but the situation is like this, how can he turn it around by himself? Sighing, shaking his head, with a look of impatience and hatred.Hate myself for not being able to solve all this.

"Left Prime Minister, before the arrival of the Spanish army, the capital must be defended. This is our last trump card." Boromo said as if he was out of strength.

"Yes." Ding Dingwei nodded. This time the Phnom Penh Dynasty suffered too much loss. If they can withstand this tribulation, the next step is to work hard, vigorously reform, develop commerce and military, and find a way to become stronger no matter what. Get up, otherwise, you will be beaten if you fall behind.

The carrier pigeon flew out of the palace and flew straight to the hands of the Phnom Penh envoy Kemoy who had been staying in the Spanish warship.

Looking at the edict to let the city written by the king himself, Ke Moyi first showed a painful look on his face, and then he quickly organized his thoughts. After adjusting to the best state, he strode towards the main cabin of the warship not far away. walked in.

Miguel, the special envoy and admiral appointed by King Juan II of Spain, was chatting with Vice Admiral Cruz in the cabin at this time, and the content of the chat was naturally the current situation.

At this time, Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal were both major Western powers, and there were no hegemonic countries such as the United States, so they represented hegemony.Although the future king Isabel is only three years old, and it is impossible to marry Prince Fernando of Aragon, the two kingdoms of Castile and Aragon have not married, and there is no final unification, but at this time Spain is already very Strong.

Just like Portugal, following behind the mercenary ships, they crossed the Pacific Ocean and came to the Eastern world. They discovered civilized humans here decades earlier, and at the same time exposed their ambitions decades earlier.

As a special envoy, General Miguel soon became obsessed with the Eastern World after discovering it.He found that the silk, porcelain, tea, etc. here are not available or in short supply in the western world. He found that there are too many novelties here. There are various commodities in Chijian City. He found that the weapons here are very backward, and they are still cold weapons. The swords and swords of the period were far inferior to the muskets and cannons they use now. He found that

After too many discoveries, his selfishness also became inflated, and the idea of ​​wanting to use something good when he saw it suddenly arose, and his eyes naturally fell on the weak Phnom Penh Dynasty.

Through understanding, Miguel found that although the countries in the eastern world are average in strength, they all have a large population. It is almost impossible to dominate with [-] warships and [-] soldiers brought by him.And if you want to gain a firm foothold here, the first step is to occupy a place first, and slowly expand and develop outwards with the help of this place.

Chapter 927 Use

After having such an idea, Miguel got in touch with the Phnom Penh Dynasty. In order to let the other party see his strength, he also deliberately sold two hundred muskets to the other party. After earning a lot of money, Sure enough, the other party became more enthusiastic towards them, and even sent an envoy, Ke Moyi, to negotiate with him.

Negotiations between the two sides, other things are easy to talk about, including importing things from here and bringing them back to the Western world, including that they can sign a long-term contract for buying guns, etc. For this reason, the Phnom Penh Dynasty is also willing to pay a large amount of money, but it is When it came to renting out a city to them, Ke Moyi directly refused.

Kemoy said, "The Phnom Penh Dynasty is a country with complete sovereignty and territorial integrity, and it is impossible for them to lease out a city. This is a kind of provocation to the royal family, and it is not tolerated by the king, ministers and people. "

Negotiations had to be stopped. Just when Miguel was still thinking about how to persuade Kermoy, the war suddenly broke out. The sea ship with the five-star flag suddenly sailed into the port of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and a burst of artillery fire After the boom, the landing began.Everything happened so fast, and when Miguel got the news and sent his deputy, Cruz, to check the situation, everything was settled.

Because of this, Cruz did not have the opportunity to see the moment when the mercenary navy showed off its might, which paved the way for their demise not long after.

The port of the Phnom Penh Dynasty was opened by force by mercenaries, and peace talks were not possible.Miguel decided to wait and see, he wanted to see who would win and who would lose, and how he would benefit from it.

He didn't make him wait for too long, before the war ended, Kermoy appeared and expressed their king's willingness to rent out a seaside city to the Spanish Navy, even without paying, just asking them Just drive the mercenary ships out of this sea area.

In the previous negotiations, Miguel's special envoy had boasted more than once how powerful their navy was, how terrifying their artillery was, and so on.In a word, they described themselves as the invincible teachers in the world.

Kemoyi bowed his head with the meaning of King Poromo, which made Miguel very happy.It's just that he didn't agree right away, because in his eyes, mercenaries were a better partner.The other party has more kinds of novelty commodities. Now the Phnom Penh Dynasty is very dangerous and is going to be occupied by mercenaries. Since it is a negotiation, why not have a good talk with the mercenaries? In such a sensitive period, he may be able to Maybe even more benefits.

He just said that he had to think about it, so he sent Kermoy away, and then Special Envoy Miguel called his lieutenant, Cruz, and asked him to talk to the mercenaries on his behalf, but this time the rented city changed from one place to three places.

Miguel has a strong learning ability. During this period of time, he learned that Eastern businessmen always like to bargain when they talk about things.Sometimes the asking price may be a scary amount, but the actual transaction price is very low.He suffered a lot from this when he first came here.

Now that he has experience, he wants three cities. In his opinion, if they can't reach an agreement, they can bargain. At least two cities are no problem.But he didn't know that it was impossible for mercenaries to negotiate with them on territorial issues, and his approach was just asking for trouble.

Cruz, who got the order, came to the port of Kampot on a merchant ship disguised as a warship, but what he didn't expect was that his big ship was not approved to pass.In desperation, he had no choice but to drive a small boat into the port, and met Long Yuntian, commander of the Third Division of the First Marine Army, who was directing the overall situation here.

After receiving Yang Chendong's words, Long Yuntian was not only no longer the deputy commander, but became the commander of the third division. Needless to say, he felt grateful in his heart, he had already made up his mind to follow the sixth young master for the rest of his life.

At this time, he was commanding the Fourth Navy Division to cooperate with the Sixth Young Master's northward attack.The cold fronts of the navy are a dragon at sea and a tiger on land. They are powerful. Although the Phnom Penh Dynasty sent [-] troops to support them, they did not get any benefits from Long Yuntian's hands.

Completed the order of the Sixth Young Master very well, wiped out the [-] navy of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and captured most of the enemies.Long Yuntian is still in a good mood these days after holding back the opponent's [-] troops.After receiving a report from the soldiers below, saying that a Spanish general wanted to see him, with a curious accident and a good mood, the two sat face to face in a compound at the port of Kampot.

Cruz has a typical Western face, fair skin and blue eyes.But Long Yuntian, who often walks on the sea, has seen a lot of people, so he doesn't care. He politely invites him to drink tea, and even handed him a cigarette to show his hospitable side.

The reason why the mercenaries are so powerful, in the final analysis, apart from the fact that Yang Chendong's ideas played a big role in it, is the commercial development.It is precisely because of the money that there is an invincible army that can gallop anywhere at will.Long Yuntian thought that the other party wanted to do business with him, so it was a credit, so he met the other party enthusiastically.Unexpectedly, the difference between expectations and my own imagination was too big. The other party actually wanted to rent a seaside city, three for one mouth, and also intentionally pointed out that the current mercenaries and the Phnom Penh Dynasty were stalemate and fighting, and the Phnom Penh Dynasty had already Agreed to their request to rent the city.

The indirect meaning is already very obvious. The Phnom Penh Dynasty agreed. If the mercenaries do not agree, then it is very clear where the Spanish warships will go next.

"Damn, they are so arrogant with only twenty warships, they don't want to live anymore." After hearing the other party's request clearly, Long Yuntian showed an angry look on his face.The translator sent by the First Academy of Chicai on the side was tactful and did not speak. He knew that some words could not be translated casually.

"What did he say?" Cruz looked at the translator puzzled.Although he can't understand Chinese, but it can be seen that Long Yuntian seems to have something wrong with his expression, and he seems to be in a bad mood.

"Mr. Long said that he is not in charge of this matter and needs to ask his superiors for instructions." The interpreter had no choice but to find an excuse with a smile.

"Okay, then we will wait for you to make a decision, but please hurry up. Our warship is not far away. As long as you agree, we can immediately provide artillery support to help you drive back the soldiers of the Phnom Penh Dynasty." Cruz said with a proud face, at this moment, it seems that one of his actions can dominate the battle situation. "Okay." The translator nodded with a smile, and then conveyed Cruz's meaning to Long Yuntian, but he added some words of his own at the end, "Mr. Long, we should ask the dean for instructions on this matter." Let's make a decision."

"Well, yes, please ask Master Six." Long Yuntian nodded and agreed, and asked the translator to arrange a place for Cruz to rest, then he went to the telegraph room and reported what happened here.

The telegram was sent to Yang Chendong very quickly. After reading it, his face was as calm as water, but the movements in his hands had completely exposed his thoughts.The telegram was tightly held into a ball by his right hand, "Yang Er, prepare a telegram."

Yang Er, who rarely saw the sixth young master angry, immediately took out the pen and paper that he carried with him, and at the same time felt sad for some people. Although he didn't know what the content of the telegram was, if he offended the young master, it would be tantamount to offending Yan Yan. My lord, there is no difference.

The telegram was sent out, and it soon reached Long Yuntian's hands. Looking at the telegram in his hand, his expression was first surprised, then excited, and then dignified, and then he shouted: "Come on, what kind of Spanish lieutenant general?" Please come here."

Three hours later, Vice-Admiral Cruz reappeared on the Spanish warship and reported the entire negotiation process to the special envoy Miguel.

"Oh? They agreed?" Miguel's face was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, general. They not only agreed, but also fully satisfied our request. They will give us three cities as a foothold. Hehe, it's easy to understand. These territories were not originally theirs. Naturally, it won’t hurt to go out. Of course, they also made two requests.” Cruz smiled, and took out the contract signed with Long Yuntian.

"What request?" Miguel asked back.

"First, find out the headquarters of the Phnom Penh Dynasty's military in the south, and then take them away. Second, hand over Ke Moyi, the envoy of the Phnom Penh Dynasty." Did not show any strange look.

Not only him, but also Miguel did not show curiosity.Maybe it's because these two requirements are nothing to him at all, or maybe it's an opportunity for them to show their strong combat effectiveness, a way to show off their means.

"Okay, promise them, this time we will attack the people of the Phnom Penh Dynasty and let the mercenaries take a good look at our strength. If this is the case, let's see if they dare to be dishonest when dealing with us in the future."

"Yes, General, then shall I invite Kemoy over?" Cruz had a wicked smile on his face.

Kermoy, who was locked in the room, was still anxiously waiting for Miguel's answer.This time, in order to understand the siege of the capital, the king even agreed to cut the city of Shirdi, so it can be seen that the capital is already very dangerous.Now he only hoped that Miguel would agree to his request sooner.

During the long wait, every passing minute was a torment for him, and finally the door was knocked, and Cruz's voice came out, "Mr. Messenger, our general wants to see you."

Chapter 928 It's all over

Kermoy met Miguel again as he wished, and then got a very satisfactory result. The other party agreed to the deal, and also proposed to meet with their commanding general to discuss how to deal with the mercenaries. .

Suddenly there were surprise soldiers. Although the number of reinforcements was only 2000, they all had muskets, and the Spanish warships also had artillery, which the Phnom Penh Dynasty did not have.Once used well, it can completely play the role of a surprise attack, and it is not impossible to reverse the situation of the battle.

Ke Moyi left happily, and when he returned to the ship a day later, he brought the news that the Phnom Penh Dynasty's Southern Front Army Command agreed to join forces.Shortly thereafter, 2000 Spanish troops disembarked and followed the envoy of Kemoy.Afterwards, Long Yuntian got the information sent by Cruz, and the first group and the second group set off immediately.

An invisible but chaotic battle began.

Miguel took Cruz to turn his face first, and led two thousand musketeers to open fire on the headquarters of the southern army of the Phnom Penh Dynasty; then the main force of the Navy's third cold front division suddenly appeared, surrounded the place and destroyed their command system, and shot the general .

It looked like the mercenaries were fighting with the Spanish army, but then the mercenaries suddenly opened fire on the unprepared Spanish army that was about to enjoy the fruits of victory. The Third Sea Division finally showed their powerful side, The same firearms, one side is just a more advanced flintlock gun, while the other side is a more powerful, longer damage distance, and higher accuracy repeating gun. This battle has not yet begun.

After a scuffle, Miguel, Cruz, Kermoy and others were captured. It was the so-called praying mantis catching silkworms and orioles. The Spanish army, Kermoy and others were used one after another and became captives in the hands of mercenaries. .

Twenty warships belonging to Spain were also captured together. They were captured by the Fourth Sea Division, and then the big ship sailed straight to the harbor of Chixian City.
