Become a feudal king from today - #1027 - Chapter 1039: Approaching Malacca
“Your Majesty, King Yan, I hope that Siam will always be under your protection in the future.” Zhao Xu sat peacefully on the steps of the main hall.
After presenting the credentials, Songpa shouted with respect.
Zhao Xu briefly glanced at the certificate of credence and looked at Songpa who was standing under the steps.
After getting the news from Qin Shan, he set out to come.
After taking Siam, all the Western influence in the southeastern region was eliminated.
At the same time, this means that the road to attack Malacca from land has been completely opened, which is of great significance.
Nodding slightly, he said to Songpa: “History will prove that your choice is correct. Dasong will not only bring you security, but also make you richer and richer.”
According to his plan, currently Dasong will get along with Korea, Japan, the five southeastern countries, and even Luzon and Java on a suzerain-vassal relationship, and at the same time establish a business circle with Dasong as the core.
Although Da Song takes advantage in this business circle, it does not mean that they will become poorer and poorer.
Because prosperity not only comes from trade surplus, but also from the improvement of one’s own technology.
Within the Dasong business circle, they will naturally accept the transfer of some of Dasong’s domestic backward technologies.
This was enough to bring them from the production level of the feudal era to the modern level.
However, even this transfer of backward technology will be scrutinized by the Department of Industry.
The extent to which it will be transferred depends on the extent to which these vassal states will be assimilated by Dasong in the future.
The suzerain-vassal relationship was originally temporary, just to avoid overly arousing the current emotions of the people of various countries.
It would naturally be the best situation if the vassal states could be assimilated to a certain extent and eventually incorporated into the Dasong territory.
But this will certainly not be possible in the short term.
However, he has a lot of patience. If he can’t do it in twenty years, he can do it in forty years. If he can’t do it in forty years, he can do it in sixty years.
Furthermore, as time goes by, the gap between Dasong’s technology and wealth and that of other countries will definitely become wider and wider.
By then, the prosperous and advanced Dasong will surely become a holy place in the hearts of the Eastern Territory countries.
Maybe then even if he doesn’t want these vassal states, they will still cry and demand to be incorporated into Dasong.
“With the words of His Highness King Yan, the people of Siam and I will feel at ease.” Hearing this, Songpa bent even deeper.
After submitting the credentials, of course Songpa hosted a banquet for Zhao Xu.
During the banquet, the two talked about the upcoming war and how Siam could provide support to Dasong’s army.
Among the five southeastern countries, Siam is the richest.
Because the other four countries are either mountainous, completely landlocked, or have many ethnic groups and are often at war.
Only Siam has many plains, is rich in rice, is close to Malacca, and has frequent trade with India.
In modern times, the country of Siam is also the richest among the five countries, and it is also one of the top ten food exporters in the world.
Therefore, in this war in the southern region, as long as there is support from Siam, the logistical problems of the Dasong army will disappear.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will issue an order to all the Siamese government tomorrow, asking them to inventory the granaries and provide food for the Dasong army along the way.” Songpa said hurriedly.
After taking refuge in Dasong, he offended the Westerners to death. This was a road from which there was no turning back.
Since he is standing with Dasong, he will naturally support Dasong’s army and let Dasong’s army drive out of Dongtu completely.
“That’s very good.” Zhao Xu smiled.
The five southeastern countries are just the appetizer of this southward war. The highlight is the war with the Western-Turkish Allied Forces.
This decisive battle can begin after he captures Siam.
When heading to Siam, he gave orders to Gong Ying and Pan Chang, asking them to deliver the marines to eastern Java, seize Java and threaten the south coast of Malacca.
The north bank is in charge of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army.
Adding the three armies together, a total of 150,000 troops will be deployed in this battle of Malacca.
The next day, Zhao Xu summoned Qinshan and Guantong and ordered them to organize their soldiers, replenish the ammunition transported by the navy from the mainland of Dasong, and attack in the direction of Malacca.
After three days of preparation, the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army marched westward in a mighty manner, and then southward, approaching Malacca.
While the Green Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army were approaching Malacca, the 50,000 Marines led by Pan Chang were also approaching the Western-Turkish Allied Forces defenses on the south bank of Malacca.
The war is about to break out!
…
Singapore.
The movements of Dasong’s army were constantly sent to Wesley.
As Dasong’s army approached, Wesley’s expression became more serious day by day, and the time he spent patrolling the fortifications became longer and longer.
The offensives of Dasong North, Beidi and Rus Kingdom failed completely.
In the south of Dasong, the indigenous army they formed did not play a role in blocking the Dasong army for a year and a half.
It only took a month and a half from the time Dasong’s army went south to its full occupation of the five southeastern countries.
It will take at least two or three months for their reinforcements to arrive.
In other words, he must persist for more than two or three months.
Otherwise, once Malacca is occupied by Dasong’s army, their navy will be able to advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
More importantly, if their fleet enters Tianzhu waters and cuts off their maritime routes, Britain will lose Tianzhu forever.
“Everyone, for the past three hundred years, the world has been decided by us Westerners. If we want the sky to fall, the sky will fall. If we want the earth to collapse, the earth will collapse.”
It only takes five or six days for Dasong’s army to arrive.
Facing the impending war, Wesley decided to give a war speech.
After speaking the first sentence passionately, he looked at the indignant generals and continued loudly: “In front of us Western natives, the natives all over the world have to kneel on the ground and admire the glory of our Western natives. Why are we so good? Because we Beloved of God, for we are the noblest race.”
“Please remember, we must not let these pigs and bugs from Dongtu tarnish our glory. We had the final say in this world before, and we will have the final say in this world in the future. Those who stop us, we will Let him go to hell!”
After saying this, Wesley punched the table hard.
“That’s right, let Dasong go to hell.”
“These disgusting pigs all deserve to die.”
“We will use war to teach them a lesson and let their blood dye the whole land of Malacca red.”
“…”
Wesley’s speech made the officers excited, and they wanted to kill the soldiers on the battlefield now.
This scene made Wesley look satisfied in his eyes.
Slowing down his voice, he said, “The Dasong people will be here soon, let them see how powerful we are.”
“Yes, General Wesley.” The officers gave Wesley a military salute and turned to leave.
In the next three days, the coalition officers spread Wesley’s speech to the ears of every Western and Turkish soldier, arousing the high fighting spirit of the Western and Turkish soldiers.
On the fifth day, the atmosphere in the coalition forces suddenly became solemn.
The Dasong army arrived.
