Ever since the war in Annan was forcefully stopped by Xiao Ruxun, the Zheng Clan had been very afraid of the Mo Clan that was struggling at death's door in the north.
On the one hand, Zheng Zhu wanted to destroy the Mo family to relieve the trouble in the north, and then concentrate on the south to deal with the Ruan family and the small independent countries in the south. With this, he could unify Annan and solve the biggest problem. But soon, he found that he really couldn't do it.
The Mo family latched onto the Daqin's thigh and obediently asked for Daqin's protection. The emperor of Daqin, Xiao Ruxun, warned Zheng several times not to attack the Mo family, or Daqin would be very unhappy.
At first, Zheng Zhu didn't take Xiao Ruxun's warning seriously. He thought it was just a small warning from Xiao Ruxun, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it. He actively prepared to suddenly destroy the Mo family, so that Xiao Ruxun would suffer in silence.
He bet that Xiao Ruxun wouldn't really attack him, because he thought Xiao Ruxun still had a lot of problems to face, especially when Xiao Ruxun rebelled against Yang Yinglong in Bozhou. Daqin definitely couldn't deal with it, so he actively prepared.
But before he was ready, Xiao Ruxun had already destroyed Yang Yinglong with lightning speed, which showed the strong national power of Qin. After that, he launched a war against Nihon, and unprecedentedly asked all vassal states to send troops to work with Daqin.
Zheng Zhu was stunned, and he didn't know how to deal with Xiao Ruxun's behavior.
He always thought that Xiao Ruxun was still the traditional emperor of the Celestial Empire, and he didn't really care about small countries like them.
But he didn't know that Xiao Ruxun was a completely different emperor. He cared about the existence of small countries like them, and repeatedly tried to show his existence.
First, he used the embassy system, then the annual court system, and now he actually asked for troops to work together.
Zheng Zhu slowly sensed that something was amiss.
Knowing that all the vassal states were working together to isolate Siam, Zheng Zhu broke out in a cold sweat.
Putting everything else aside, which country in Southeast Asia did not have enemies?
Once this happened to him, who could guarantee that he would be able to pull through?
Look at how miserable the Siamese cat is now!
That Na Ruixuan, known as the Great Emperor, was the most powerful country in the Indo-China Peninsula. Ever since Dong Yu Dynasty was destroyed by Xiao Ruxun, Xian Luo became the largest and strongest country. He thought that Xian Luo would be able to hold on, but who knew that in less than a month, Xian Luo would be in chaos.
Resistance forces appeared all over Siam, asking Nareixuan to abdicate and apologize to the Daqin. They even gathered a large number of troops and occupied a large area of land, attacking the core area ruled by Nareixuan.
Nareixuan was in an extremely unfavorable situation. The people in the area directly under his control were unstable, and the army was also affected. Many troops were full of dissatisfaction with Nareixuan because their families or their own interests were damaged.
On the day that Xiao Ruxun sent troops to Japan, Nareixuan sent troops to fight against the forces that opposed him. In the end, they were defeated. They were defeated in the first battle, losing a few generals and more than a thousand troops. The people's hearts were even more chaotic.
Not only that, but the entire Siamese showed signs of economic collapse. The price of domestic goods soared, and in some places, there was no market. It was fine if it was ordinary things, but things like food and salt were necessary for everyone. Now, the price also soared.
Nareixuan's government did not respond in time. They could not take out any food and salt to stabilize the prices. They could only watch the prices of these necessities soar. There was nothing they could do.
It was not like Siam was in chaos for a day or two. Some places were out of control, and there were incidents of vandalism and looting. Nareixuan's government was also unable to control it.
Nareixuan was already very tired just trying his best to ensure that his army was not in chaos. He was powerless to manage the people.
Moreover, he believed that keeping the army stable was the prerequisite for everything to be stable. Only by protecting the army could he protect everything.
Therefore, he adopted the policy of putting the army first. He did not care about the people and tried his best to stabilize the army. Whatever he had, he would first provide it to the army. He also called back the generals who had fought with him to discuss countermeasures. Of course, it was mainly to rope them in and warn them not to have any ulterior motives.
But at this time, it was really difficult for them not to have ulterior motives.
Once the chaos in Siam started, it would be endless. Under the circumstances of being widely isolated, Nareixuan could not even borrow food from the countries that were on good terms with him.
The other countries were also afraid of Daqin and drew a clear line with him.
Nareixuan finally knew what it meant to push a wall when it was down.
This time, Zheng Zhu panicked. He knew Xiao Ruxun's methods and appeal. He was very afraid that he would become the next Nareixuan. He knew that his power was not as good as Nareixuan's. Moreover, the Mo Family and the Ruan Family were eyeing him.
Once something happened to him, it would be difficult to even struggle. Then, he would really not know how he died. It would be a very ugly death.
Nareixuan did not know how long he could live. The feeling of the fox mourning the death of the rabbit shrouded Zheng Zhu's heart, prompting him to stop preparing the army and give up the attack on the Mo Family. Instead, he entered a state of defense. He really acknowledged the existence of the Mo Family and swallowed this grievance.
But he was still very afraid and very worried. This time, he sent his son to lead the army in order to have more contact and understanding with the Qin Army. More importantly, he wanted to find an opportunity to form a good relationship with them so that in the future, there would be people who could speak on his behalf.
Zheng Song's son, Zheng Kuang, was the leader of the army. He led the army to assist the Daqin in fighting and tried to form a good relationship with the Daqin.
He followed the Daqin army all the way to Japan. He was deeply in awe of the Daqin army and was trying to form a good relationship with the Qin Army's commander, Ma Wei. In the end, he suddenly received information that the Mo Family's Mo Pingan had reached an agreement with the Daqin.
An agreement that had relations with the army.
Zheng Kuang turned pale with fright and immediately asked to see Ma Wei.
Ma Wei did not refuse him and received Zheng Kuang.
"General Zheng, why did you come to see me?"
Ma Wei personally poured a cup of tea for Zheng Kuang, just like how he treated Mo Pingan.
"It's like this, I … I heard that Mo Pingan had come to see you before. I don't know what Mo Pingan asked for from you? Can you tell me, Marshal? "
Zheng Kuang was also straightforward and went straight to the point.
Ma Wei did not dislike this kind of person who went straight to the point.
"General Zheng is very concerned about this matter?"
Ma Wei asked with a smile.
"Haha, Marshal, aren't you asking the obvious?"
Zheng Kuang said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, indeed, indeed, I am asking the obvious. In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that Mo Pingan asked me for some officers in the army to help them reorganize the army. At the same time, he also wants to buy some firearms from the Daqin."
Ma Wei said this matter without hiding anything, which made Zheng Kuang very panicked.
"This … Marshal, this … Will His Majesty the Emperor agree?"
