Chapter 2316: The Qin Dynasty cannot be humiliated, and the five great kingdoms of Tianzhu

 Ye Qingmei's voyage after leaving Annan was much more exciting than expected.

 After leaving the Annan area, the fleet led by Ye Qingmei took another month to finally reach the Siam area.

 But when he was about to land in Siam, he encountered the largest water bandit in the country.

 Under the command of Qi Jiguang, the Great Qin navy annihilated all 10,000 invading water bandits with zero casualties, eventually killing 3,000 and capturing 7,000.

 Among the four kingdoms of Siam, only the Kingdom of Thonburi and the Kingdom of Bangkok had communicated with the Qin Dynasty in advance.

 The Sukhothai Kingdom and the Ayutthaya Kingdom did not even know the existence of the Qin Dynasty.

 So this requires Ye Qingmei to take the initiative to contact the two kingdoms.

After Ye Qingmei arrived in Siam, he did not trade with Thonburi Kingdom and Bangkok Kingdom separately. Instead, he first went to Sukhothai Kingdom and Ayutthaya Kingdom as envoys.

After Ye Qingmei revealed her identity, she was naturally welcomed by King Ram Kamhaeng of Sukhothai, but she had concerns about trade between the two countries until she learned that the two kingdoms of Thonburi and Bangkok had signed trade agreements with Daqin. After that, Lan Ganheng agreed to sign a trade agreement with Da Qin.

Ye Qingmei's mission to the Sukhothai Kingdom went very smoothly, but her mission to the Ayutthaya Kingdom was not so smooth. As soon as Ye Qingmei entered the city, she was targeted by the fourth son of the king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

The fourth prince of Dacheng was a **** through and through. He had seen countless women and saw through Ye Qingmei's women's clothing at a glance. When he saw the color, he set up troops on the streets of the royal capital and prepared to rob Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei didn't want to cause trouble, so he directly revealed his identity as the envoy of Qin. However, the fourth prince had never heard of the country Qin at all, so naturally he would not believe it because of his lust.

In the end, after killing more than 800 people in a row, Gai Niewizhuang protected Ye Qingmei and forcibly killed her from the capital of Dacheng. However, all the twenty guards accompanying him died in the battle.

After Ye Qingmei escaped from the disaster, she also secretly hated the Ayutthaya Kingdom, and guessed that the Ayutthaya Kingdom might send troops to retaliate, so she asked Qi Jiguang to prepare for the battle in advance.

As Ye Qingmei expected, under the instigation of the fourth prince, King Bolumo was furious after learning that the Qin envoy had killed nearly a thousand guardsmen in the capital, so he ordered to send 10,000 troops. revenge.

Even before the Dacheng army arrived at the port, they were ambushed by 5,000 Qin troops prepared in advance. The 10,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and the death toll of the Qin army was less than double digits.

The revenge failed, but instead the army of 10,000 was lost. When Paramo learned about it, he became even more angry, so he sent out another 20,000 troops to take revenge.

After experiencing an ambush, this time the general of the Dacheng Army was extremely cautious and did not give the Qin army any chance to set up an ambush. However, he was crushed by the Qin army's equipment.

Qi Jiguang relied on Qin's crossbows to have a far greater range than the Dacheng Army. He used kite tactics to continuously wear down the strength of the Dacheng Army, and finally defeated the Dacheng Army again. There was only one out of ten of the 20,000-strong army.

After two consecutive defeats, Boromo finally calmed down and realized how powerful Da Qin was. However, he had lost so many armies, so naturally he could not bow to Ye Qingmei. He could only vent his resentment on the cheating fourth son. body.

What Bodhisattva didn’t know was that his hesitation caused him to miss his last chance.

After two major victories, Ye Qingmei sent envoys to ask for compensation from the minister's kingdom, but was ignored. So he went to lobby Sukhothai, Thonburi and Bangkok in person.

Ye Qingmei told the kings of the Three Kingdoms that the Dacheng Kingdom had lost 30,000 troops and suffered heavy casualties. Now is the best time to destroy the Dacheng Kingdom.

When the kings of Sukhothai and other three kingdoms learned that Qin had defeated the 30,000-strong army in Ayutthaya with 5,000 naval troops, they did not believe it at first, but after receiving the exact information, they were left with nothing but horror and awe.

The four kingdoms of Siam each had their own conflicts, and they all wanted to annex each other and unify Siam. However, their strengths were almost the same, and no one could destroy the other, so they were in a stage of balance. But now this balance has been broken by the Qin Dynasty. .

 The Kingdom of Ayutthaya has lost 30,000 troops, and the remaining troops will not exceed 60,000 at most. This is the best opportunity to annex it.

With such a good opportunity, the Three Kingdoms will naturally not give up. If they are slow, they may not even be able to drink the soup.

Under the leadership of Ye Qingmei, Sukhothai, Thonburi, Bangkok, and five other small countries jointly formed the anti-Ayutthaya coalition and sent a total of 150,000 troops to attack Ayutthaya.

King Boromo of the Great City was immediately horrified when he learned about it. He quickly ordered a nationwide military expansion. At the same time, he **** the fourth prince and asked the envoy to take him to Ye Qingmei for disposal. He also gave hundreds of thousands of gold as compensation, hoping to exchange for The envoy of Qin forgave him, but unfortunately it was too late.

If Boromo had admitted his mistake and compensated before, naturally there would have been nothing later, but the current situation is no longer decided by Ye Qingmei.

Even if Ye Qingmei wants to cease the war, the other eight countries will not agree. Even if Ayutthaya is destroyed, the war may not end.

Even without Ye Qingmei, this war would break out sooner or later. Ye Qingmei just happened to do it.

Ye Qingmei cannot stop this war. All she can do is use this war to obtain greater benefits for Da Qin.

Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity when the war broke out, Ye Qingmei began to sell weapons to the eight countries in the alliance.

 Bangkok and other eight countries saw that Qin's weapons were indeed much more sophisticated than Siam's, so they all spent money to buy and replace them, and directly bought 80% of the remaining equipment in Ye Qingmei's hands.

With the support of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army from Da Qin's equipment, its combat effectiveness has naturally increased greatly, and the large city-state with all its people as soldiers has also urgently expanded its army to 200,000.

Although the Ayutthaya State has a lot of troops, the gap in combat effectiveness is somewhat large compared to that of the coalition forces after the change of equipment.

In the end, under the siege of Daqin and other nine-nation coalition forces, the Ayutthaya State lost its troops and generals, suffered repeated defeats, and lost one-third of its territory. The nine-nation coalition forces also successfully joined forces in the capital of Ayutthaya.

After joining forces, Ye Qingmei personally beheaded the four princes of Dacheng Kingdom in front of all the defenders of the capital of Dacheng and all the soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms Allied Forces, fully demonstrating to them what it means: Da Qin cannot be humiliated.

Ye Qingmei, as the envoy of Da Qin, represents Da Qin, and insulting her is insulting Da Qin.

 As soon as Ye Qingmei made this move, all the countries in Siam also respected Da Qin even more.

Ayutthaya is one of the four major kingdoms of Siam. Just because a cheating dandy offended the Qin envoy, the whole country had to be buried with him. This would be a miserable end.

Naturally, all countries do not want to be like the big city-states, so they can only make good friends with the Qin Empire and cannot offend it.

People who were still a little cautious at first did not dare to test and provoke Da Qin, which also made the subsequent trade without any disturbance.

 After killing the four princes of Ayutthaya, Ye Qingmei announced that Great Qin would withdraw from the war. However, even if Great Qin withdrew, the war was not over, but this has nothing to do with Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei continued to trade with various countries and sold 60% of the cargo in the fleet to eight countries including Bangkok. As for the remaining goods, the Eight Kingdoms naturally wanted them, but they really didn’t have the financial resources to buy them, so Ye Qingmei could only go to the next stop to sell them.

 After the goods were sold, Ye Qingmei started another business, human trafficking.

After the Qin Dynasty defeated the Siamese water bandits, it defeated the Ayutthaya Army one after another. Now the number of prisoners captured has accumulated to nearly 40,000.

Since there were too many prisoners of war, it was impossible for the Qin fleet to take them away, so they could only be used as slaves and sold to the Siamese countries.

These captives are all strong and strong, and if they are given a weapon, they will become soldiers, so naturally all countries want them, but they really can't afford the money.

Seeing this, Ye Qingmei proposed to exchange female slaves, one female slave for a male slave.

All the countries in Siam agreed to exchange, but the female slaves they used were not their own slaves, but the female slaves from the Ayutthaya they occupied.

Because of the war, the Qin Dynasty generally has more women than men, but there are still a lot of soldiers who cannot afford wives. These female slaves can be given to the soldiers as wives.

 Finally, after exchanging 40,000 female slaves with other countries, Ye Qingmei once again sent a thousand-man fleet, loaded with goods and female slaves, back to Qingzhou, while she stayed to continue discussing port matters.

After discussing the construction and management of the port, Ye Qingmei ignored Qi Jiguang's strong opposition and named the new port: Jiguang Port, leaving a hundred soldiers to manage it, and then led the fleet to continue to Myanmar. .

 Ye Qingmei’s people have all left, but the war in Siam is still going on.

 The King of Ayutthaya struggled to hold on for three months, running out of ammunition and food. Finally, he was defeated by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and both sides paid an extremely heavy price.

King Paramo, however, led his army to break through and flee to another city before the city was broken, and continued to resist the invasion of other countries. Until Ye Qingmei returned half a year later, the country had not been completely destroyed.

After the Eight-Nation Allied Forces completely destroyed the Great City Kingdom, conflicts arose due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, and they even attacked each other. Three small countries were directly destroyed.

 Since then, the Siam War once again entered the unification war.

 In other words, after leaving Siam, Ye Qingmei arrived in Myanmar after only half a month of sailing.

Burma's three major kingdoms of Bagan, Taungoo, and Konbaung, as well as seven other small countries, have learned of the existence of the Qin mission through the Siam War.

After the arrival of the Qin envoy, the various countries in Myanmar did not dare to neglect and hosted a banquet in honor of Ye Qingmei. The trade affairs were also extremely smooth, not as tortuous as Siam.

Burma's ten major forces could have bought all Daqin's goods, but Ye Qingmei considered that if they all were sold to Myanmar, there would be nothing left to trade with Tianzhu, so only half of the equipment and goods were sold.

 Among them, the Kingdom of Bagan bought the most, buying about one-third of the equipment and one-quarter of the goods.

After negotiating about the port, Ye Qingmei named the new port Magellan Port after Magellan, who returned early, and then continued to Tianzhu with the fleet.

As soon as Ye Qingmei left, war broke out in Myanmar.

Anuruddha, the king of Bagan, after buying equipment from Ye Qingmei, realized that the combat power of his army had surpassed that of the other two countries, so he took the initiative to provoke a war.

Anuruddha only wanted to take advantage at the beginning and did not want to make the matter a big deal. However, as the war progressed to the later stage, it became more and more out of control, and eventually turned into a melee among the ten countries.

By the time Ye Qingmei returned, two small countries had already been annexed by the big country.

 After leaving Myanmar, it took Ye Qingmei another month to arrive at the final destination of her voyage to the West, Tianzhu.

 Tianzhu is located in the South Asian continent, and South Asia has a total area of ​​about 4.3 million kilometers. In later generations, there were a total of 7 countries and a quarter of the world's population.

Today, of course, these countries have not yet been born, but there are hundreds of local forces.

While still staying in Myanmar, Ye Qingmei managed to obtain some information about Tianzhu, but it was not comprehensive. After arriving in Tianzhu, it took another half a month to collect all the information about Tianzhu. .

　Today, Tianzhu in the South Asian continent has five major hegemonic powers, 16 kingdoms, and more than 300 small countries.

These five hegemonic powers are: Kushan Empire, Mughal Empire, Timurid Empire, Maurya Kingdom and Gupta Kingdom. They are all countries that have appeared in India in history.

The current monarch of the Kushan Empire is Kanishaka. After successively annexing more than a dozen forces, the Kushan Empire now has a total population of nearly ten million and is the dominant force in the northern part of the South Asian continent.

The current monarch of the Mughal Empire is Babur, who was the founding emperor of the Mughal Dynasty in history. He is currently the overlord of the western region of South Asia. Its sphere of influence extends to Central Asia, and the country has a total population of more than eight million.

Timur Empire, the current monarch Timur, is the founding emperor of the Timur Empire in history. It is currently the overlord of the northwestern region of South Asia. Its territory also includes a large number of Central Asia, and the country has a total population of more than seven million.

Timurid Empire and Kushan Empire are the only two countries whose territory expanded beyond South Asia to Central Asia.

The current king of the Mauryan Kingdom is King Moon Guardian, who was the founding king of the Mauryan Dynasty in history. He is currently the overlord of the southern region of South Asia, with a total population of nearly seven million.

The current king of the Gupta Kingdom is Chandragupta I, the founder of the Gupta Dynasty in history. He is currently the overlord of the eastern region of South Asia, with a total population of nearly six million.

Kanyishka is a local figure, Moon Guardian and Chandragupta I are worldly figures born from Baizhaka, while Babur and Timur are hidden figures from Baizhaka.

In addition to the above five major forces, Tianzhu also has fifteen kingdoms with a total population of between 300,000 and one million, divided into: Kashi, Kosala, Yunjia, Fulitian, Mora, Zhi Ti, Baccha, Kulu, Pānchāla, Maghaya, Shurasena, Ashiba, Abandi, Gandhara and Gampuche;

 In addition to the three major empires, the two overlord kingdoms, and the fifteen kingdoms, there are nearly 300 small forces in Tianzhu with a population of less than 200,000.

South Asia has a total area of ​​4.3 million kilometers, but there are more than 300 forces. The overall situation is even more chaotic than Southeast Asia.

 Among the five major overlords, the Kushan Empire was the strongest and continued to expand, followed by the Mughal and Timur empires.

However, with the rise of the Maurya Kingdom and the Gupta Kingdom, the Kushan Empire and Timurid Empire in the north, as well as the Mughal Empire in the west, were weakened to varying degrees.

The Kushan Empire is not bad. Even if it is weakened, the overall trend is still expansion, and its national power has not declined.

 But the situation of the other two countries is not so good. Not only has their expansion trend been cut off, but their national strength has also declined a lot, and they have become weaker and weaker.

 The two kingdoms of Maurya and Gupta are expected to become the fourth and fifth empires of India.
