Everyone in the tent was stunned after hearing Jia Ke's words. Now that several parties have an absolute advantage, there is no need to engage in those conspiracies. They should be polite first and then act openly.
So Jia Ke ordered someone to write the letter of credence, and then sent a Cambodian to act as a messenger to deliver it to the King of Thailand.
After Jia Ke ordered people to send credentials, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers could not just stay like this.
So Jia Ke used this time to order the regular troops under his command to go to the prison camp and conduct a unified training with the hundreds of thousands of captured Annan prisoners.
This training does not require them to make much progress in combat power. It only requires them to obey orders and prohibitions and to cooperate with the Central Plains troops in the conquest.
The Cambodian left the camp with Jia Ke's credentials and entered the border of Thailand. He had not gone far when he was discovered by Thai soldiers.
It turned out that Jia Ke came to the border of Thailand with his troops without any cover-up. The King of Thailand had already discovered this army. He didn't know Jia Ke's intention, so he sent the best from all over the country to face Jia Ke's army.
A camp was set up in the country to guard against Jia Ke.
So the messenger didn't go far before he was discovered by soldiers patrolling the border and brought to the camp.
At this time, the leader of this army was Alontai, the younger brother of the King of Thailand.
This man received a report from his soldiers, saying that the Central Plains army on the opposite side had sent credentials. He did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the envoy to be brought into his tent.
When the Cambodian messenger saw the brother of the King of Thailand, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
What do you think? It turns out that Thailand now belongs to the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and its national power is at its peak. The small countries around it are all vassals of Thailand.
The only countries in Indochina that can compete with Thailand are Myanmar and Annan.
However, these two countries are no worse than Thailand in terms of military strength, but they are much worse than Thailand in terms of economic strength. Therefore, Thailand is the well-deserved number one power in the southeastern peninsula.
This envoy had long admired Thailand, and now he was sent to deliver a message to Thailand. He was originally worried, but now that he saw the brother of the King of Thailand, he was too frightened to speak.
Alontai glanced contemptuously at the envoy kneeling on the ground, and then said to the guard next to him: "Bring your credentials to me."
The guard came to the Cambodian envoy, searched him and took out his credentials, then held it in both hands and presented it to Alontai.
Alontai took the letter of credence and opened it to see that it was written in Thai and Chinese.
The general content is: I am the Prime Minister of the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty, Jia Ke, King of Yan, and the troops came to the border. He did not do anything else, but because King Annan disobeyed the Celestial Dynasty and repeatedly violated the border. Now he was defeated by our troops. It is rumored that this person
He fled to Thailand, and I asked the King of Thailand to return this man to China and secure the border.
Alontai frowned when he got here. The content of this letter of credence was a bit rude, and the tone was very obvious. It was just asking Thailand to return Ruan Zhengyu in return. Otherwise, Jia Ke would definitely come with his troops.
Alontai had already heard of the name of the Central Plains. In addition, some time ago, Vietnam, a powerful country in the southeast, was wiped out by the Central Plains army in a few months. This made Alontai extremely frightened.
Now that the Central Plains had sent this letter of credence, he could not make the decision, so he sent a few soldiers to take this messenger and rush straight to the capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya City.
As a result, as soon as they sent the reality to the other side of the capital, they received news that the army from the Central Plains had begun large-scale training at the border.
Alontai did not dare to neglect when he heard the news, and immediately took his troops and quietly sneaked out of the country and came to a small hill to see what was going on with him.
This sight shocked him greatly. He saw the troops from the Central Plains arrayed neatly there. These people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. They marched one or two miles in formation without breaking up.
Alontai compared the troops in front of him with the men and horses under his command, and immediately felt very frustrated.
Now he had to admit that the army in the Central Plains was indeed much more elite than the troops under his command. If he fought against his side, he would probably suffer much greater losses than the other side.
Seeing this, Alontai was not in the mood anymore. When he returned to the tent and was thinking hard about the strategy to deal with the enemy, another spy came to report: Those trained troops were not the elite of the Central Plains people at all, they were just captive soldiers of the Annan Kingdom.
When Alontai heard the news, he just felt like he was burning inside. Originally, he thought he saw the elites of the Beijing camp. He thought that although their combat power was slightly different, they could still hold a stalemate with the opponent. Unexpectedly, these people were just prisoners of Annan.
soldiers.
After thinking about it all night, Alontai did not dare to neglect, and wrote a letter himself and had it sent to Kyoto on a fast horse.
Let's talk about the envoy's side. The journey was very fast. In only five days, the envoy arrived at the capital of Thailand.
Besides, the current capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya, is a place of peace and harmony, without the slightest hint of war.
In the palace of the King of Thailand, a grand banquet is currently being held.
King Tamaroja is older and is not as diligent in government affairs as he was when he was young, but he is still the well-deserved king of Thailand, and all power is in his hands.
The protagonist of this banquet was his son-in-law Ruan Zhengyu.
After Ruan Zhengyu fled to Thailand, he used the Thai princess's connections to ask Thailand to send troops to help him restore his country.
However, the whole of Thailand was very afraid of the Central Plains dynasty that could easily destroy Annan. Although Ruan Zhengyu received countless gold and silver jewelry, no one did anything for him. Therefore, time dragged on for such a long time, and Ruan Zhengyu did not get Thailand.
The king's promise.
However, things took a turn for the better. News came from the border some time ago that the Central Plains Kingdom led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to conquer Cambodia, a vassal state of Thailand, and stationed their troops at the border of Thailand.
Ruan Zhengyu used this news to go around the banquet and lobby the Thai dignitaries.
King Tammaraj of Thailand was sitting on the throne, looking at Ruan Zhengyu jumping up and down restlessly, and couldn't help puckering his lips.
When the banquet was reaching its climax, suddenly a man who looked like a servant came to the King of Thailand and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Tamaroja immediately changed his expression, and then left quietly without paying attention to everyone at the banquet.
Maybe others didn't notice the king's departure, but Ruan Zhengyu saw it clearly, and he frowned. What could happen to the king now that he left in the middle of the banquet.
Let's talk about Thailand's King Tamaroja. After leaving the banquet hall, he came to a small palace next to it.
As soon as he finished the work on the throne, several foreign envoys came outside.
One of the Cambodians was very obvious. Someone came to the king's throne and immediately knelt on the ground.
Tamaroja didn't even look at the envoy. He winked at a servant next to him. The servant immediately came to the envoy and said softly: "Where is the certificate of credence?"
After hearing this, the Cambodian did not dare to neglect, took out his credentials from his arms, held them in both hands and gave them to the envoy.
A servant took the certificate of credence, came to the throne, and delivered it to the king.
Tamaroja took the certificate of credence, opened it and looked at it carefully, and frowned.
This is to ask him to hand over his son-in-law and let the Central Plains Dynasty deal with it at will. Although Tamaroja does not care about Ruan Zhengyu's life and death, if Ruan Zhengyu is handed over like this, then in the world of the Southeast Peninsula in the future,
What dignity can there be about Thailand?
But if Ruan Zhengyu is not handed over, judging from the meaning of this letter of credence, the two countries will inevitably go to war.
The King of Thailand is still somewhat self-aware. Although he can dominate the southeastern peninsula, compared with the behemoth in the Central Plains, Thailand's national strength is simply nothing.
When the king was in a dilemma, another servant hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in the king's ear. The king frowned and winked, and the servant bowed and retreated.
After a while, he entered the palace with a letter and handed it to the National League respectfully.
The king woke up after taking it and opened it. It turned out that it was an urgent letter sent by his brother Alontai.
The content of the letter is also very simple. It tells the king what he saw at the border as the Central Plains army training captured Annan soldiers, and tells the king that if there is a battle, he may only be able to resist for seven days.
The king was hesitant before, but now after receiving this letter, he immediately understood what he should do.
The King of Thailand has now put aside family ties and made a judgment in favor of Thailand. Ruan Zhengyu still has to hand it over. After all, his arm cannot twist his thigh. There is no need to cause Thailand heavy losses and even destroy the country for such a person.
In this way, how can I be worthy of my ancestors?
After Tamaroja made up his mind, he winked at the servant next to him, and the servant immediately came to the king and lowered his head to listen to his instructions.
"Take someone with you and put Ruan Zhengyu under house arrest and wait for my decision."
After receiving the order, the servant immediately left the small palace, took dozens of soldiers outside, and broke into the hall where the banquet was held.
At this time, Ruan Zhengyu was in a corner of the hall, thinking hard about what happened to the King of Thailand. Ruan Zhengyu who was there was already a little confused.
At this moment, dozens of soldiers suddenly broke in. They searched for Ruan Zhengyu in the main hall and immediately found Ruan Zhengyu. So these dozens of people came forward without any explanation and bound Ruan Zhengyu tightly.
The princes and nobles in the banquet hall were in an uproar when they saw this situation.
The prince of Thailand, Na Li Xuan, was also in the banquet hall at this time. He had the best relationship with Ruan Zhengyu, and he greatly agreed with Ruan Zhengyu's ability to expand the country by conquering the east and west.
Now that he saw Ruan Zhengyu being taken away by soldiers, he immediately stepped forward to stop the soldiers.
"What do you do? Do you know who you arrested?"
When a servant next to him saw that it was the prince who was blocking him, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute the prince.
Na Lixuan asked with a gloomy face: "What is going on? Who asked you to arrest people?"
In fact, the prince had already made a decision in his mind, but he still had some luck.
"Reporting to the prince, the king ordered me to arrest Ruan Zhengyu."
When Narixuan heard that it was his father's order, he did not dare to stop him in any way.
