Come to Daming with military supplies

Luan Xiaochen's words naturally caught the staff of the provincial government by surprise.This time, it was an economic development meeting. How can there be a war? Is this going off topic?It's just that everyone who has read the Yang Bao for the past three days knows that Governor Luan was also forced. After all, the people under his rule have been treated unfairly. If they can't give a statement or give an explanation, then who will? trust them?

As a result, despite Luan Xiaochen's sudden statement, no one stood up to stop him at the meeting.Because this is not only doubting Luan Xiaochen's ability, but also making life difficult for the majority of Lao citizens. Facing this powerful force, who will stand up to stop it?

.

Chapter 6 and Five: The Choice of Lancang Kingdom

The meeting went smoothly, and afterward Luan Xiaochen sent an envoy to the Phnom Penh Dynasty to discuss the explanation. The speed of the meeting fully reflected the high efficiency of the government's work.For this reason, Yang Bao also specially made a supplementary explanation, and this news also made many ordinary people rejoice and encourage them. From this incident, they also saw that they had a strong backer behind them.And if this battle can be won, or if the Phnom Penh Dynasty can be forced to bow its head, then no matter where it goes in the future, it can hold its head high and not be afraid of being targeted by others.

The messenger was very fast. He left the city at noon that day, and rushed all the way. After seven days, he arrived in Phnom Penh City. He took out a document and said that he wanted to meet the king of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were in charge of receiving the envoys from the Lao province. When they learned of their destination from the other party, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were frightened.They were shocked that it was just a caravan being killed, so why did the provincial government of Laos get so excited? Could it be that some high-ranking officials in the provincial government were among those killed?

Facing the resolute attitude of the envoy, the receptionist did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly reported the matter layer by layer, and finally the document demanding compensation and apology was sent to King Boromo's case.

Seeing this document, Boramo also felt a little bit puzzled.But then he lost his temper, and immediately ordered someone to bring General Hun Sen over. He wanted to ask if the matter was true. If it was true, this General Hong was too courageous.

Due to the strength of the mercenaries and their strong combat effectiveness, it took more than half a year to pacify Jiaozhi and Lancang respectively, forcing the surrounding countries to take the initiative to form alliances.Just like now, the Phnom Penh Dynasty is an ally with Siam and the Ava Dynasty.

But even though they are allies, it doesn't mean that they are willing to compete with mercenaries.At least none of the three countries are willing to take the initiative to provoke mercenaries and become their first target.Perhaps in the last battle, the three countries will win, but the first country to be beaten is definitely the worst, even if they can win, they are afraid that they will not get any benefits.

Therefore, the three countries put their hopes on other countries, hoping that others and mercenaries will fight to the death first, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.But this definitely does not mean that his country has become the first person to fight mercenaries.

Hun Sen was urgently called to the palace, and when they met, he was pointed at his nose and scolded by the king, which made Hun Sen not sure what he had done too much recently, which aroused the king's anger.

It wasn't until Bakumo was tired of cursing that he threw the document at Hun Sen's feet, as if you had seen for yourself what good deeds you had done.

Hun Sen picked up the document tremblingly, and after seeing what was written on it, he immediately gained confidence.He is very greedy for money and has done a lot of things to cross the line, but the caravan of the Solangon family is definitely not his hands, so at this moment he strongly refuted it, and even used a poisonous curse to show himself innocence.

Hun Sen, who raised his neck, looked like he had been wronged by the sky, in Boromo's eyes, he also began to doubt the truth of the matter.After all, Hun Sen has no reason to lie in front of him, he is just trying to make up for it.

"You really didn't do this thing?" Boromo couldn't help but asked with certainty even though he believed it to a full extent.

"I definitely didn't do it. If it was, I would be willing to be crushed after death." Hun Sen said fiercely.Of course he was full of confidence. Ever since the people sent by the Solangon family came, he also deliberately called a few of his confidants over, and finally confirmed that these people did not do anything, and everything was wronged.Now someone is talking about this matter again, and he has no ghosts in his heart, so of course he is not afraid.

"Since you didn't do it, why did the Solangon family insist that it was you who did it, and why did the Lao province send documents? Could it be that they want to put the shit pot on our heads intentionally, okay? Is it possible to use troops against us?" Poromo's eyeballs kept rolling, considering various possibilities.

"It must be so. They just want to use troops against our Phnom Penh Dynasty. Your Majesty, the mercenaries are very ambitious. This is the reason they are looking for. We have to guard against it." After hearing what Poromo said, Hun Sen Immediately agreed to say.

"Ah! That's really the case, they, how could they be so deceitful? But why are they looking for us? What should we do? Why don't you just feel wronged by General Hong?" Just halfway through the words, Poromo shook his head. Shake your head.Now that he has formed an alliance with Siam and the Ava Dynasty, if he expressed his intention to retreat, wouldn't he have withdrawn from this alliance voluntarily? In that case, once the mercenaries really choose him as the next target, Without allies, what can we use to resist others?

It seems that it is impossible to make concessions, but it is not what Poromo thought if he had to be tough to the end and attracted the attack of the mercenaries.For a while, he couldn't make a decision at all. He looked at Hun Sen who was standing below and was still waiting for an order, and waved his hand first, "You go down first. By the way, when someone asks you about this, you don't know anything." Don't say it, don't admit it or deny it, just look at the situation."

"Oh." Hun Sen responded intentionally.It seems that this matter is bound to have something to do with him, but the king always has such an attitude, what else can he do besides agreeing?

Before Boromo had thought of a solution, he kept procrastinating on the matter until the envoy from the Lao province asked to see him three times in a row but failed, and the other party left angrily.When he left, he said domineeringly that if he returned to Laos and could not give a satisfactory answer, then the next time he would come would not be the envoy, but the conquest army.

The envoy went back. Judging from the words left when he left, there was not much time left for the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and there were only seven days left. If there was still no decision, it seemed that a big battle was imminent.

When he heard that there was going to be a real war, Poromo was really scared.The military strength of the Phnom Penh Dynasty is only average. In terms of territory, is it not as big as the Laos province?Once he starts to fight, what will he use to resist the front of the mercenaries?

If he can't fight again and again, he will bow his head. Presumably as long as he bows his head, the opponent will have no reason to send troops. Although this will be embarrassing and even cause dissatisfaction with the two allies, does he have other choices? "

Just when Boramo was hesitating and even inclined to give in first and get over the current difficulties, envoys from Siam and the Ava Dynasty suddenly appeared, and they all expressed their gratitude to the Phnom Penh Dynasty for attacking Laos At the same time, it also stated that if the Lao province is going to be detrimental to the Phnom Penh Dynasty, they will definitely not ignore it, but will take the initiative to send troops to help. They are allies in the first place.

With the support of his allies all of a sudden, Boromo's confidence became stronger, but he still couldn't make a decision.But at this time, something unexpected happened to him, and for some reason, this matter was spread, and it was known to everyone in the whole country, and immediately a large number of people stood up and expressed that they wanted to protect the country. Dignity must not bow their heads, they are willing to fight for the country at critical moments.

After the common people asked for a fight, more nobles and wealthy gentry stood up. They said that they must not bow their heads to the groundless accusations against Laos Province.For this reason, they are willing to pay a large amount of military expenditure to support the king in the first battle.

The affairs of the people are easy to talk about, as long as the public opinion is guided well, that is, the kind and ignorant people are easy to be used and guided.But why did those nobles also stand up?Poromo was very puzzled, and immediately sent someone to investigate, and soon the results reached his ears.It turns out that these aristocrats did this not only for their own interests but also as a last resort.

It is said to be a benefit because the envoys of Siam and Ava contacted them in private, saying that as long as Laos was defeated and occupied there, these nobles would share a lot of benefits.It has to be because there are too many lessons learned.Regardless of whether it is in Vietnam or Laos, many aristocratic fields there have been divided and real estate has been occupied.Once the mercenaries are really allowed to occupy the Phnom Penh Dynasty, then these people will be forced to a dead end.

And indeed it is.Based on the idea that dividing the land by local tyrants is the fastest way to bring the people closer and get the support of ordinary people, both Vietnam and Laos have done this.Quite a few wealthy gentry went bankrupt because of this, and even those with bad grades were ransacked because of this, and the whole family was arrested and sent to reform through labor.But not all dignitaries are targeted in this way. For example, some dignitaries who are doing legitimate business, or inheriting titles and relying on their salaries, because they don’t have a lot of land and haven’t done anything evil, they still maintain The integrity of strength.

But no one knows that if these people are not targeted now, they will not be liquidated in the future.What if the mercenaries gain a firm foothold?Will it attack them?

No one can tell clearly, this frightened the dignitaries of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and with the instigation of some people, they all stood up immediately. Woolen cloth?Wouldn't that not only cause nothing to happen, but also a lot of benefits?

Obviously, everyone knows how to do this back and forth.As a result, these people jumped out and decided to take a gamble.

If it was just the support of the common people, Bo Luomo was not worried. He was the ruler here. As long as he gave an order and with the support of the army, it would be very easy to suppress some common people.But with the participation of these dignitaries, it will be completely different. The influence of these people is deeply rooted. If they do something wrong, even his throne will be in jeopardy. These people must not be offended.In other words, his superiority is also inseparable from the support of these people.

Chapter 6 and Six: The Use of the Palace

With the support of the people, the support of the allies of the two countries, and the force of the dignitaries, Boramo has no choice. He made up his mind not to bow his head, and then began to mobilize the army. Civil conscription began.

There are no airtight pants, not to mention that the actions of the Phnom Penh Dynasty did not mean to hide people. Just when the envoy had just returned to Vientiane City, new news came again. He recruited 40 troops, which, together with his original army, reached a full [-].

When the 40 enemy count was reported to Luan Xiaochen's ears, he was also taken aback, and his first reaction was to ask his subordinate, the sixth young master, where he was.

When he learned that the Sixth Young Master had returned to Vientiane City and was in the original Lancang Palace, Luan Xiaochen put down everything in his hands and went straight to the palace.The matter got worse, and he was a little unsteady, and now he urgently needs the support of the sixth young master.

Yang Chendong returned to Vientiane City the night before yesterday. As the saying goes, going out of the city silently and returning to the city is also silent. He came back after he had arranged things.

After being busy for a while, he got a good night's sleep when he came back. After waking up, Yang Chendong started to wander around the palace.While walking around, he sighed with his tongue, "These bastards really enjoy themselves. The country is not very big, and there are still many people who can't afford to eat. Their palaces are getting bigger and bigger. Gorgeous, how much hard-earned money is this."

"Master, the palace in Chixian City is better than here." Hearing Yang Chendong's sigh, Humang thought that Master Liu was out of balance, so he wanted to enlighten him.

"I know." Yang Chendong nodded, and then looked at Humang who was following him with an idiot's gaze, which immediately attracted the laughter of Yang Er on the other side.

Knowing that he was made a joke by Yang Er, and also regarded as an idiot by the sixth young master, Humang was a little unconvinced, and wanted to explain a few more words, but Yang Chendong had already spoken first, "I want such a big palace to be done right away. It’s such a waste that no one lives here, so why not make good use of it.”

"Why is there no one to live in? The young master can live in it. How cool it would be to have a palace where you can rest in any province." Humang seemed dissatisfied with being despised just now, and took the initiative to answer the question.

"What? In your eyes, is this young master a person who likes extravagance and waste?" After rolling his eyes again, Yang Chendong no longer gave Humang a chance to speak, but said as if he had made some kind of decision, "I It seems that the commercial street can be brought into the palace. In this way, the business site will be bigger. Doing business in the palace can also attract more people who come here curiously, so that you can earn more The silver is gone, isn't it?"

If you really do business in the palace, it will really attract more businessmen.Think about it, because of the same rank, although the merchants were rich, their social status was not high at that time, and most of them did not have the opportunity to enter the palace to have a look.If there is such an opportunity, presumably some businessmen who have not established commercial relations with the Yang family would also like to take a look at this point. As long as they come, with the variety of flowers and novelty of the Yang family's commercial varieties, , I am not afraid at all that those people will not spend money to buy goods, so wouldn't it be possible to increase the speed of making money?

In terms of the speed at which they can make money, the Tianwaitian Trading Firm is no worse than mercenaries, especially the novelty and variety of goods. No matter where they are taken, these goods will be snapped up by people.But Yang Chendong is still a little dissatisfied, and the entire Yang family has too much to spend.

It's like high salary and honesty.Now the officials in Vietnam and Laos provinces are receiving high salaries, even far exceeding the current tax revenues of these two provinces. If they want to achieve parity, they will have to develop for at least a period of time, and if they want to achieve the purpose of making money, That will have to wait a few more years.In addition to some infrastructure construction in the two provinces, such as building roads and building houses, reinforced concrete is the strongest and most useful material now, and the investment required is even more astronomical.

That is, Yang Chendong, replaced by another person, I am afraid that he can only dream and cannot be used in reality.

Although the current Chixian City is developing very well and already has a strong ability to make money, every time a ship is shipped, countless gold and silver are thrown into the pocket.But just relying on the hematopoietic ability of this place is not good for long-term development. In Jiaxia Chijian City, such as arsenals, power plants, shipyards, etc. are also extremely expensive. Sometimes for a research to be successful, it takes a lot of money. I don't know how much silver it is.

He didn't want to put all the pressure on Chixian City. Yang Chendong wanted to make the commerce in Vietnam and Laos more developed and larger, so that hematopoietic function could be achieved and self-produced and sold.However, due to the fact that the scale of the commercial street is still too small, the merchants that can be received are limited, and the goods that can be stored are also limited, so he took the idea to the palace where no one lives.

"Governor Luan is here." Yang Er's sharp eyes, who had already seen Luan Xiaochen from far to near, reminded him in a low voice.

"Hehe, Governor Xiaoluan is here." Yang Chendong came back to reality from his contemplation, turned around and laughed.

Governor Xiaoluan was first called out by Yang Chendong, so that Humang and the others would often call him that in private. Because of habit, sometimes they would still call him this way when they met him, which attracted a lot of attention. Luan Xiaochen was dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything about it. Who let this be Yang Chendong's "love" name for him.

Just adding a small word in front of the governor, will it really not affect his majesty?
