Li Xiao has never seen a real Yue monkey in his two lives, but he has seen it on the screen. The Yue monkeys in his impression are generally thin and short in stature, and have dark skin and speak in strange accents. Men talk like women, and women talk like

Transvestite.

The King Ruan in front of him completely overturned all Li Xiao's impressions of Yue Monkey.

This Ruan King of Jiaozhi is tall, at least 1.8 meters tall. His skin is as fair as a woman's, and it will glow white in the winter sun. If you get closer, you can even see the empty blood vessels in the skin.

What surprised Li Xiao even more was that this guy actually wore a... cuckold!

The style is not the same as the hats worn by Yue Monkey in later generations, but the color is really right, even more so than jade.

Speaking of clothes, this Ruan King can be directly described as fashionable. He has a flashy top and a flashy skirt or fat trousers underneath. From a distance, it looks a bit like Versace.

"My king said that he is willing to become your most loyal slave, Commander-in-Chief." King Ruan knelt down on the ground and hit his head on the white marble floor tiles in front of Wuying Palace with a "bang" and "bang" sound. Li Xiao took a breath.

, this guy is really tough!

In my memory, Yue Monkey seems to be a difficult character. He also has an extreme personality. With his little strength back then, he dared to compete with the powerful Emperor Yongle. How could he be in front of me? He was completely tame. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This is not

science!

"King Ruan is so polite. Please get up and let's talk inside." Li Xiao pulled Prince Ruan up very affectionately. As soon as he walked into Prince Ruan's side, a strong aroma came from him.

The formula of Daming's perfume is a state secret, so Ai Husheng specially found an island and asked a death row prisoner to be responsible for manufacturing it.

With such a high level of confidentiality, you can imagine the price of perfume. I heard that in Paris, Europe, a bottle of perfume produced by Daming can be exchanged for the same weight of gold. The person in front of me is a super nympho, and he probably uses perfume to bathe.

Otherwise, how could it be so fragrant?

Being pulled by Li Xiao, King Ruan looked obviously frightened and learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty to salute Li Xiao. However, he learned it in a nondescript manner, a bit like a monkey being played on the street.

Walking into Wuying Hall, King Ruan's face became even paler when he saw the wax figures made by real people.

For a moment, Li Xiao even couldn't bear it. King Ruan was so humble, and it seemed a bit unreasonable to use these wax figures to scare him. But there was always a voice in his heart telling Li Xiao that this guy was just pretending.

In Li Xiao's heart, the Yue Monkeys are ungrateful white-eyed wolves who only know how to take.

Don't let your guard down! Absolutely not!

King Ruan's treatment was pretty good. At least he got a seat in Wuying Palace. Behind him stood Colonel Voroshilov.

"Is the road going smoothly for King Ruan?" Li Xiao is going to chat with King Ruan first and relax his vigilance. I have read a book on criminal investigation and this is what it says. Li Xiao is going to combine theory with practice!

"We took a steamship from the Ming Dynasty. It was the first time for Xiao Wang to see a steamship. It was very stable and not bumpy at all. The cabins on the ship were also spacious and more comfortable than in Jiaozhi." The interpreter was also Yue Monkey.

, but he speaks Chinese very well and has an authentic Beijing accent, which is rare. Li Xiao feels that this guy’s Beijing accent is more authentic than his own.

Li Xiao felt that this guy must be telling the truth. According to his level, it must be a first-class sea view room. He stayed on the ship for two months and traveled all the way from Jiaozhi to Tianjin Wei. Li Xiao also wanted to do this when he had time. .It should be very comfortable to take your wife and children at sea.

"Coming from afar, there are many exquisite things in Ming Dynasty. You can go and see them everywhere. There is no winter in Jiaozhi. Go to Liaodong and see it. It is snowing there. Qipan Mountain in Shenyang, Huangyi Mountain in Dandong. And my hometown Gaizhou The Chishan Mountains are all good places." Li Xiao deliberately threw King Ruan into the barren mountains.

It doesn't snow in Yuehou's place, so let him go to Liaodong to see the snow. This time is not in vain. If possible, Li Xiao would like him to go to the North Pole to explore.

"I have seen a lot. The more I see Xiao Wang, the more I envy the Kingdom of Heaven. If possible, Xiao Wang would rather become an ordinary citizen of the Kingdom than to be the little king of this foreign country."

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows. What on earth is this guy going to do? Does he still sound like a head of state when he says this?

"Hahaha! There are millions of subjects under King Ruan's rule. I'm afraid even King Ruan won't be able to part with them."

"Commander! These millions of people also have millions of mouths. Fortunately, Jiaozhi is located in a remote area. Rice matures three times a year, so I don't have to worry about food. It's just...!"

"If King Ruan has something to say, just say it. When you sent troops to Java, you helped the Ming Dynasty get rid of this bad temper. I, Li Xiao, still remember this favor. If you need anything now, just say it." Li Xiao spoke generously, thinking of tricking Ruan out. Wang’s real purpose in coming to Ming Dynasty this time.

"Commander!" Hearing what Li Xiao said, King Ruan immediately fell to his knees on the ground with snot and tears, and knocked his head on the ground with a "bang" and "bang" sound.

"Hurry up and help King Ruan up. If you have anything to say, you can say it slowly." Li Xiao quickly asked Shunzi to help King Ruan up.

"Commander! I won't get up if you don't agree." King Ruan struggled hard, but Shunzi couldn't make a move and could only look at Li Xiao.

"What made King Ruan behave like this?"

"Commander! You don't know something. We in Cochin have been bullied. Four months ago, Siam and the Burmese formed a coalition. They didn't know how to contact the British and purchased a large number of British-made weapons.

Those British-made weapons brought a lot of casualties to our Jiaozhi. I, Jiaozhi, used all the strength of the country to repel their attack. But now that they have retreated, they will definitely come back one day. By then, I, Jiaozhi, will be defeated. They destroyed the country.

I also ask the commander-in-chief to send heavenly soldiers to help us in Jiaozhi defeat the powerful enemy. I, Jiaozhi, are willing to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty forever, come to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and be the most loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief’s most loyal minister.”

Li Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Burma and Siam would also hook up with the British. As a result, the situation in Indochina became confusing. In Indochina, the Ming Dynasty had only one nail, and that was the city of Xinjiapo. A city made of countless corpses of natives!

I heard from Hong Chengchou that the city was built with large stones and covered with cement walls. The corners of the city wall were as neatly cut as if they were cut with a knife. The city wall was fifteen feet thick and ten feet high, and could withstand heavy loads. Rocket artillery bombardment. The name of the first fortified city in Indochina is worn on the head, and it is well deserved!

But no matter how strong a city is, it also needs peripheral barriers. Otherwise, if such a strong city is besieged, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the war. No matter how strong the city wall is, if it is chewed layer by layer with cannonballs, one day it will be destroyed. Being chewed through.

In fact, with the development of war today, the city wall is no longer suitable as a defensive barrier. After reading the Wuwei battle report from Cao Wenzhao, almost all the walls built in Wuwei City for more than 200 years were demolished. Only the southern city wall remained.

I think it's quite complete.

During the battle, soldiers stood on the top of the city and fired. Once the city wall collapsed, none of the soldiers on the top of the city could survive. The biggest casualties in Wuwei City were caused in this way.

"Hmph! How dare Siam and Burma dare to insult our Ming vassal state. Please get up, King Ruan, and I will help you avenge your grievances. There will be a luncheon in a moment. Let's try our Ming delicacies first. I will discuss it with the Ministry of War tomorrow.

, let’s see how we can help you Cochin.”

"Thank you, Marshal! Thank you, Marshal!"

************************************************************************ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"What's going on over there in Cochin? Siam and Burma really formed a coalition to attack Cochin?" After the luncheon, Li Xiao immediately called for Li Yongfang.

"Replying to the commander-in-chief, there was indeed a conflict between Cochin and Siam and Burma, but it was just a fight between hundreds of people. And my news is that this time it seems that Cochin provoked the first. In addition, Siam and Burma did buy

Some British military equipment, but the number was not large, and the casualties caused to Cochin were only a few dozen people. It was far from as tragic as King Ruan said!

Besides, Jiaozhi also has some equipment that we have eliminated, and the gap in equipment and military strength between the two sides is not big." With the telegraph, Li Yongfang's intelligence system was more timely.

"Haha! Prince Ruan is so scheming." After hearing Li Yongfang's words, Zhang Huangyan laughed sadly.

"Oh! What?" Li Xiao looked at Zhang Huangyan.

"When King Ruan came to our Ming Dynasty, I felt something was wrong. He said that Cochin was attacked by the Burmese-Siamese coalition forces. At this time, he actually brought his wife and children to the capital of our Ming Dynasty. You know, even if you take a steamer, from Jiaozhi to

It will take us almost two months tomorrow.

This time and again, I was delayed for two months doing business in the capital. Half a year has passed! According to what the King of Cochin said, maybe by the time he returns, Cochin may have been destroyed by the Siamese and Burmese coalition forces.

So I said that this time King Ruan came to the Ming Dynasty for something. I guess he saw that the Ming Dynasty was strong and made up his mind to make us his allies. If we send troops, even just one soldier, Siam and Burma

Everyone will regard the Ming Dynasty as their enemy, and King Nguyen can use our hands to get rid of Siam and Burma, allowing them to dominate the Indochina Peninsula."

"If they unify the Indochina Peninsula, they will become a vast country. Then he will be more qualified to negotiate terms with us." Li Xiao nodded, but he did not expect that King Ruan still had such a plan in his mind.

What Zhang Huangyan said is reasonable and reasonable. As an old fox who has become a spirit, he can judge this kind of thing very accurately.

"Haha! I have always been a knife wielder and will not be a knife in anyone's hands. If you want to use me, you have to pay a price." Li Xiao said fiercely.

"How many sons does King Ruan have?" Li Xiao looked at Li Yongfang.

Li Yongfang quickly took out a small notebook from his arms, flipped through a few pages and said: "King Ruan has four sons, the eldest is sixteen years old, and the youngest is five years old. His prince is the eldest son Ruan Wenxiong, and his second son is Ruan Wenxiong.

Nguyen Van Zheng was only born half a month later than Nguyen Van Hung, and he was also sixteen years old."

"This is easy to handle! King Ruan will die of illness in our Ming Dynasty. If I were Ruan Wenzheng, I would be unwilling to accept it. You immediately send someone to Jiaozhi by airship and find a way to persuade Ruan Wenzheng to rise up and rebel against his elder brother. Our Ming Dynasty

We will fully support him here."

"Well! Let one of their brothers face each other in the south and the other in the north. A divided Jiaozhi is in the interest of our Ming Dynasty. Speaking more broadly, a fragmented Indochina Peninsula is also in the interest of Ming Dynasty.

We can use the same method to find ways to split Siam and Burma. Myanmar still has a border with the southwest of our Ming Dynasty, and we can find ways to make it more fragmented. In this way, the weak ones will become pawns in the hands of the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Huangyan looked at it.

He looked at the huge map on the wall and drew pictures on it.

"Mr. Zhang is right. Send capable personnel to the southwest immediately. It will be a great achievement to handle this matter well." Li Xiao understood what Zhang Huangyan said.

No one should be allowed to snore next to the bed. There must not be a big country that can rival the Ming Dynasty next to the Ming Empire. Just like a tiger cannot sleep next to a tiger, but it will be no problem if dozens of cats sleep next to it.

"promise!"

"Tomorrow I will invite King Ruan to go skating on Kunming Lake. If King Ruan happens to step on the ice and fall into the water, even if he survives, the cold that will follow...!" Li Xiao thought of his own this time.

If you have a cold, you should never underestimate this minor illness again.

"Promise! My subordinates will definitely handle the matter properly. King Ruan will definitely not survive more than three days." Li Yongfang has this confidence when working on his own farm in the capital.

Li Yongfang left, and Li Xiao and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other speechlessly. King Ruan shot himself in the foot this time. The difference in knowledge made him unable to understand the telegram. He thought that Daming could only listen to his words, as long as

If he behaves more submissively and convinces Ming Dynasty to send troops, he will have a chance to unify Indochina.

It is estimated that the Yue Monkeys have been dreaming about this dream for a long time, and they almost came true in later generations. But in the end, they were abruptly interrupted by Hua Xia, making the dream just a dream after all.

"If King Ruan doesn't want to use me, I don't want to come to this point." Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. His impression of King Ruan was pretty good. Thinking that King Ruan would fall into the ice cave tomorrow, Li Xiao felt that he

A little too shady.

"Even if he doesn't use you, you still have to take this step. You are now the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of millions of soldiers, and the future and destiny of the Chinese nation are in your hands. Whatever is in the interest of our Chinese nation, you can do it

that is.

As for the rest..., do you know why the emperor calls himself a loner? Many times, for the sake of his family, country and the world, he has to give up many things. For example, morality, or morality."

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. I just know that I will never be a loner in this life."
