Narexuan's life had been very difficult recently.
It was difficult in every sense of the word.
Ever since he refused Daqin's order to conscript Siam's troops to the north to help fight against Japan, his life had been terrible. First, the neighboring countries broke off diplomatic relations with him one after another. Then, there was internal chaos. The political situation of Siam, which Narexuan had been managing for many years, took a turn for the worse in an instant.
No one knew why Siam was suddenly so unlucky. The internal and external troubles happened almost overnight.
If the disconnection and isolation of the surrounding countries were a small problem, then the real problem was at home.
Many of his subordinates reported to Narexuan to obey the arrangements of Daqin. This made Narexuan extremely angry, and he would never agree. But then, such voices appeared in the army. Many generals in the army asked Narexuan to obey Xiao Ruxun's arrangements and not to be stubborn.
The situation that everyone had created together couldn't be finished like this!
At first, Narexuan was stubborn and refused to agree. But soon, something happened that made him realize that no matter how stubborn he was, he had to care about something.
When the news that Daqin was going to sanction Narexuan and that the neighboring countries had broken off diplomatic relations with Siam came, the price of food in Siam rose almost immediately. It was one price a day. People could not play games, have fun, go out, or cause trouble, but they could not afford to eat.
The price of food rose, one price a day, higher and higher. Every day, it reached a record high. The people couldn't afford food and couldn't eat. What was this?
People would die if they couldn't eat.
The farmers in the countryside were fine. They had their own land and could be self-sufficient. But what about the people in the city?
Narexuan was very angry. He wanted to immediately arrange for people to deal with these things, but he soon realized that it was some people in his government who controlled the land and caused the price of food to rise. There were even some generals in the army.
Including some of his relatives.
He was quite conflicted.
While he was struggling, the situation outside didn't stop developing. Under the call of Xiao Ruxun, a vigorous movement to exclude the Siamese was launched in all the vassal states of Daqin. All the states began to openly frame the Siamese on a large scale.
They robbed the Siamese's property, occupied the Siamese's industry, and killed the Siamese themselves and their families. Even some of their own people were killed as if they were Siamese. For a time, destroying the Siamese became the political correctness of the Daqin vassal states in Southeast Asia.
Saying you are a Siamese is enough to destroy a family.
Faced with such a situation, a large number of Siamese people tried every possible way to escape. Some people were lucky enough to escape back to Siamese before the movement reached its peak. Those who weren't lucky enough were in deep trouble.
Basically, they were all under the Three Lights Policy.
After the group of people who were lucky enough to survive returned to Siamese, they spread their miserable experiences everywhere and complained to Narexuan's government about what those countries had done to the Siamese. They were eager to get the support of Emperor Narexuan, but they were destined to be disappointed.
Because Narexuan himself couldn't protect himself.
Those who wanted to fight with him for power and profit took this opportunity to attack Narexuan's stupid policies and incite the starving and panicked people to gather and make trouble. They made up lies to accuse Narexuan everywhere. Narexuan was already in a terrible situation.
If this was still within a controllable range, the relevant personnel of the Daqin Blackwater Force instigated some powerful forces. That was the most terrible. Each of these forces had a certain amount of force, which was enough to cause a blow to Narexuan's regime.
For Narexuan, such a blow was very terrifying. Under the premise that the external environment was extremely unfriendly, if civil strife broke out in the country, would the external countries and forces that were dissatisfied with him take advantage of the situation to invade?
The answer was yes, so Narexuan was eager to control the current situation and prevent a civil war from breaking out. For this reason, he specifically sent his younger brother, Sarv Ekatha, to persuade people to calm down and find a solution to the problem.
Sarv Ekatha was also very responsible for his brother's regime, but the effect was really limited.
Soon, except for the areas around the capital that were appeased to a certain extent, many remote areas were no longer under control. They began to discuss some very private issues with the neighboring countries.
After learning this news, Narexuan was shocked. He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, there would be areas that wanted to break away from Siamese. In anger, he sent Sarv Ekatha to lead an elite force to suppress the areas that had done this first and to deter other areas.
He thought that his troops would have an effect, but soon, the news of Sarv Ekatha's defeat and death came. His younger brother, who had followed him to fight everywhere and could absolutely be trusted, had died in battle, along with the elite royal troops.
Siamese was in an uproar, and the internal forces that had been worried about Narexuan's powerful force finally couldn't bear it anymore.
In addition to the capital, many areas announced that they would no longer recognize Narexuan as their ruler. They asked Narexuan to give up his position and apologize to the Daqin.
This move was in line with the thoughts of the people who had been incited throughout Siamese. After being incited, they believed that the cause of all this was Narexuan. It was Narexuan who caused them to be unable to buy food and eat.
The calls for Narexuan to step down became louder and louder, and people gradually lost their minds.
The area where Narexuan opened a warehouse to stabilize prices was limited to the capital because he didn't have that much food. Even the capital was the result of forcibly robbing the land and food from his father-in-law's family. Only then was he able to stabilize the area around the capital.
But at this moment, the chaos in Siamese had already appeared. Various areas announced that they would no longer recognize Narexuan. They wanted to elect a new king, and they discussed with each other to form a coalition army. If Narexuan didn't give up his power, they would fight him together.
Narexuan hated and was annoyed by this. He hated Xiao Ruxun, hated the ignorant noble landlords, hated the depressed people, and hated the ambitious people.
After losing his younger brother and an elite force, Narexuan's strength was greatly reduced. If he wanted to solve the current crisis, he could only take the initiative to attack.
So, Narexuan decided to personally lead the army, like during the War of Independence. He would lead all the troops that were loyal to him, use his unparalleled prestige to reunite the country, and kill all the ambitious people.
He had the relevant awareness and preparation.
