    Siam, Ayutthaya.

    King Palaseton is old and lifeless. He is willing to obey the emperor of China. Apart from traditional political inertia, another reason is that he is unwilling to make trouble.

    "Father, the Chinese envoy sent someone to say that the governor of the Netherlands disrespected His Majesty the Emperor," said the little prince Nalai. "There is an idiom in the Han people, which is called the Lord Humiliates His Officials to Die, which means that when the monarch is insulted, a subject should die for the monarch.  .Since China is my suzerain country, our country should take action. Please expel the Dutch in Ayutthaya and Liukun immediately, father!"

    Palasai Dong said: "You are too young to know how to govern the country. For China, it is enough to obey from afar. There is no need to harm your own interests for them."

    Na Lai retorted: "Our country's products are not only sold to the Dutch. Even if the Dutch are expelled, some of them will be bought by the Chinese. How can this be said to be detrimental to our own interests?"

    The eldest prince Zhao Fa guessed, but he was a slippery guy, he smoothed things over with a smile: "The Chinese envoy just sent someone over, asking us to help as much as possible.

    It is absolutely possible to send 500 soldiers to Malacca slowly.  As for the domestic Dutch, heavy taxes are imposed on the goods they buy, so that they can not only pay for China, but also take the opportunity to earn more gold and silver from the Dutch.  "

    "This method is very good!" Palasay is very satisfied with the eldest son, thinking that he is very political.

    "Father," Nalai said hastily, "we can't just look at our eyes. Toungoo (Myanmar) in the north is aggressive. If we try our best to help China this time, we will definitely gain the goodwill of the Chinese monarch and ministers, which means that China owes us a favor. In the future, if we  Being invaded by Taungoo, we sent envoys to ask China for assistance, and the Chinese emperor would certainly be willing to send troops!"

    Palasay Dong waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about the future, I'm going to rest, you guys step back."

    Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Nalai retreated and said: "Father, please appoint me as the general of the army, and take 50 soldiers to help China attack Malacca!"

    Palasay Dong didn't care about it, and said: "You like to fight, then you go."

    "Thank you, father!" Nalai bowed and exited.

    In the history of Thailand, there have been several "great emperors", and this little prince is the "King Narai" among them.

    In another time and space, news of the fall of Yunnan and the escape of Emperor Yongli reached Siam, and King Nalai was preparing to welcome Emperor Yongli to take refuge.  result,

    Emperor Yongli went to Siam's deadly enemy Toungoo. King Narai was worried about his safety, so he personally led troops to the Thai-Myanmar border to act in camera.

    King Nalai originally wanted Dongyu to release people to welcome Emperor Yongli to go south, but news of Emperor Yongli's death came.

    In desperation, King Nalai led his troops back to the capital to offer sacrifices to the Li Dingguo Temple, and held Buddhist ceremonies every year on the death days of Chongzhen and Yongli.

    Later, the Manchu Qing forced Siam to surrender and ordered it to hand over the golden imperial edict bestowed by the Ming Dynasty and replace it with the golden imperial edict bestowed by the Manchu Qing.  King Nalai didn't dare to resist, and at the same time he didn't want to betray Daming, so he asked the craftsmen to hand over the imitation gold seal, and secretly hid the real one.

    At this moment, Nalai, who was still the little prince, returned to his mansion and immediately summoned his two advisers and friends.

    A good friend is a Han Chinese named Yang Dongkui.

    A good friend is a Greek named Constance Walcom.

    Na Lai said with a smile: "Mr. Yang had a clever plan. My father did not agree to expel the Dutch, but he allowed me to lead troops to attack Malacca."

    ? Yang Dongkui said: "As the saying goes, it's asking for a lot of money and paying back the money when you land."

    Constance Walcom said: "Damn the Dutch, they have been occupying Malacca all the time. This time they annoyed China, and they will definitely suffer a lot!"

    "Two gentlemen, come with me." Nalai said.

    Yang Dongkui cupped his hands and said: "Since we are helping our mother country,

    Helping the prince again, of course it is incumbent at this time.  "

    Hua Erkang is a Greek adventurer. This guy drew his sword: "It's been a long time since I've fought a war. I'll use the Dutchman's skull as my adventure collection and bring it back to Europe!"

    A few days later, Prince Narai took two advisers and led 500 soldiers to the south by boat.

    Historically, his father would die of illness in a few years, and his elder brother was killed by his uncle to usurp power as soon as he succeeded to the throne. Prince Nalai led his troops to kill his uncle and regain the throne.  Within a year, Thailand had four kings.

    During the reign of King Narai, Siam even sent missions to Europe for diplomatic visits, and were warmly received by King Louis XIV of France.

    The two kings of the East and the West even became pen pals because of this, and the relationship between Thailand and France heated up rapidly.

    At the time, Holland was terrified and felt that it was in Siam's trade.??Baoen Temple, Europeans also know its true face through his sketches.

    Hoffman's books and paintings spread, European aristocrats like to use silk to imitate Chinese clothing, and gentlemen and ladies wear Chinese costumes to party and have fun.

    At this moment, Hoffman is recording everything in front of him:

    "The city (Melaka) is large and populated. Although the streets are wide and lined with trees, houses are densely built"

    "The center of the city is a hill with St. Paul's Church on the top, where the Dutch can worship. The churches and monasteries built by the Portuguese have collapsed. Most of the houses are built of bamboo, which can be preserved well in the dry season.  Of course, there are also many stone houses. They are generally low, not very big, with only a few rooms"

    "The castle was built by the Portuguese. It is located at the foot of the mountain, facing the ocean, so that it can fight during the war. The castle is composed of a fortress and four walls facing the sea, and the mouth of the Malacca River in the south. Nearly one hundred people ruled by Portugal  Over the past thirty years, the fortress has been continuously expanded, and the surrounding walls have also been extended to the foot of Mount St. Paul. It is being continuously expanded by the Dutch, eventually forming an irregular pentagonal bastion group"

    "People of different races live here, and the ruler is of course a Dutch citizen. There are also Malays, Nyonya (mixed-race Chinese), Klings (Hindus) and Eurasians. uuReading Books<a href="http:  //www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> Of course, it also includes Javanese, Gujarati, Tamil, and even people from Luzon and Brunei  people¡­

    "Every ethnic group has its own settlement, for example, the Dutch live in Helen Street and Jonker Street, the Chinese and Nyonya live in Goldmead Street, Earlsburg Street, and the Kling merchants live in Curry Street.  , Javanese can only live in the outskirts of the city"

    "The division of residential areas is not determined by race, but by wealth and occupation. This is the most loosely managed of all the colonial cities in the Netherlands, none of themwealthy Chinese and Nyonya, as well as those Kling businessmen  , with extremely high neighborhood autonomy"

    "God! What did I see? A fleet is coming. It is composed of ships from many countries. They are holding the artillery of the castle and constantly bombarding the castle of Malacca"

    "The city was noisy and chaotic, and shells fell into the neighborhood from time to time, destroying houses in the city."

    "The enemy landed with small boats. They entered the city and ordered all residents to evacuate to the port. Fortunately, I am an employee of the East India Company.

    I usually work and live in the castle

    "The residents of all ethnic groups in the city have been evacuated by the enemy"

    "It's another day. I heard that the Chinese used grain and hired Malays in the suburbs as servants. These Malays are very cheap. A small bag of grain can send them to death. They are helping the enemy dig  The trench and our castle, which was defended by only 18 Dutch soldiers"
