    On the vast plain outside Ayutthaya City, the capital of the Ayutthaya Dynasty in Siam (the Ming people habitually call it the Ayutthaya City, so it is also called the Ayutthaya Dynasty), 50,000 Ming troops surrounded this supposedly invincible city.  .

    Liu Jin, who had just arrived from Malacca, took a telescope and carefully observed the royal capital of the Siamese Great City Dynasty.

    The size of the capital city is still very large. Although it cannot be compared with Nanjing and Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, it is still larger than the average Ming Dynasty city. Moreover, the city walls are actually made of hard marble and are two or three feet high.  It is a very towering city wall.

    In addition, when choosing the location of this royal capital, it was chosen to be on a large island where three rivers converge. It is surrounded by water on three sides and only one side is connected to the land. When defending, you only need to defend the land side.

    "No wonder it dares to be called an invincible city!"

    After seeing the structure of this royal capital city, Liu Jin couldn't help but nod.

    In the era of cold weapons, such a city was the most difficult to attack. It was surrounded by water on three sides, which meant that you only had to concentrate on holding on to one side. Coupled with the hard and tall city walls built, it was difficult to attack it in the era of cold weapons.  Coming down, it was almost hard, hard.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "They are just bragging. Once the artillery fire comes down, I don't believe that they can't be fired."

    Zhang Mao, who was beside Liu Jin, said nonchalantly. He led an army to fight all the way from Xianglin Province. They were invincible, invincible, and invincible. The Siamese they killed were routed and now they have shrunk.  Arriving in this royal capital.

    This is not because of Zhang Mao¡¯s great military commanding talents. In fact, the most important thing is to rely on powerful artillery. If there is something that cannot be solved with one cannon, then two can be used.

    Coupled with powerful muskets, excellent equipment and strict training, the Ming army is really invincible here.

    Zhang Mao is also becoming more and more fond of artillery, and he feels obsessed with bombarding with artillery.

    "We still have to find a way to force them to surrender and negotiate on their own. We are not here to seize their land. We are just here to teach them a lesson and leave a deep impression on them."

    Liu Jin smiled and said.

    "How is the situation over there in Malacca?"

    Zhang Mao nodded slightly. Although he was attacking the city along the way, Zhang Mao did not divide his troops to occupy it. Instead, he concentrated his troops to attack the big city, the core of Siam. The purpose was naturally to force King Ramathet of Siam.  Puti II signed an alliance under the city, so that he could obtain the greatest benefits for himself.

    "It went very well. Malacca City was captured with a burst of artillery fire, forcing them to sign an agreement to pay us a large compensation of 15 million taels of silver, to be paid in 100 years. A total of 150 million taels including principal and interest were required.  Silver, one and a half million taels of silver will be paid annually.¡±

    "In addition, the land in the Malay Peninsula north of Malacca will be ceded to us. I plan to establish a new Zhenghe Province here. After winning the battle against Siam, I will let them cede some land to the north as well, and together they will be  about there."

    Liu Jin smiled and told the results of Malacca and his team.

    "You are still shameless. Malacca is such a small country. How can they get it out of a compensation of 1.5 million taels of silver a year?"

    When Zhang Mao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head. When it comes to shamelessness, Liu Jin really deserves to be the first.

    During the expedition to Japan, Liu Jin also forced Japan to pay fifteen million taels of silver as compensation to the Ming Dynasty. He also ceded Ishijian Kingdom and leased Hyogosu.

    Now that it is better, it has brutally slaughtered a small country like Malacca, and it is really not merciless at all.

    "Ahem, Mr. Zhang, I am doing this for our Ming Dynasty."

    ¡°My Ming Dynasty can do things easily if we have money, we can support a strong army, we can build more cement roads, we can reduce taxes in more places, etc.¡±

    "My face is worthless at all. As long as it can benefit me, Daming, I don't care."

    Liu Jin¡¯s old face turned slightly red. People in Ming Dynasty were too proud of themselves, so they often suffered for themselves and benefited others.

    Just like paying tribute, why do you have to repay it several times? In the end, the tribute trade can no longer persist, and I have ordered to limit the number and scale of tributes from others.

    &nbPeople can't help but be deeply shocked by it.

    "Send someone to talk to the Ming people. As long as they withdraw their troops now, we in Siam will never collect taxes on the Ming merchant ships from now on, and we will also pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year."

    Ramatipti knew very well that although his military strength was more than twice that of the Ming army, his chances of winning were slim. The Ming army was so powerful that they had to fight all the way.

    Annan was destroyed one after another, allowing Champa to voluntarily surrender. Cambodia and Chenlana even took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Even when the Ming army used the road to attack Siam, these two countries took the initiative to lead the way for the Ming army.  The army transports supplies and provides logistical services, and all it takes is sending troops to follow along.

    Fighting all the way from the border, Siam was beaten to a pulp. Facing the Ming army's extremely powerful artillery attack, even the powerful elephant soldiers were no different from cubes of tofu.

    He doesn¡¯t want to fight this battle with the Ming army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
