While the war against Japan was in full swing, the civil war in Siam was also quite fierce.
The anti-Narruixuan coalition had the advantage in numbers, but their military equipment and organizational training were not as good as Narruixuan's government army. However, this was improved with the help of Daqin's Blackwater Force.
This was reflected in the transfer of some military personnel from Myanmar to help the anti-Narruixuan coalition in combat and training, and to provide some support in terms of weapons. At the same time, they also carried out a certain degree of destruction and instigation in Narruixuan's rear.
In particular, they destroyed and attacked Narruixuan's food supply line, and encouraged the nobles that he had suppressed to rise up again.
Without his brother's strong suppression, Narruixuan was unable to do anything else. Soon, he lost a battle because the food supply could not keep up, and he had to return to the capital.
As a result, when he was resting in the capital, the nobles and officers who had been instigated by the Blackwater Force united to launch a mutiny. Narruixuan discovered it in time, and immediately mobilized the troops loyal to him to fight against them. However, he was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and he had no choice but to escape the capital with his troops.
All of his family and everything was left in the capital. The capital was controlled by the rebels, and Narruixuan only had himself and a small number of troops left. Other than that, there was nothing else.
In the face of such a situation, Narruixuan fell into confusion. He did not know how to deal with such a situation, and Siam fell into further chaos.
Originally, Narruixuan's central government was able to maintain the political situation of Siam, but now Narruixuan's central government was overthrown, and the central government was occupied by a group of rebels. All the righteousness was gone, and Siam officially entered a chaotic situation.
At this moment, it had only been more than ten years since Siam gained independence. The Siamese did not expect that they, who had just gained independence, would face such a situation so soon. It was really very sad.
Just like that, Narruixuan began his life as a fugitive, and none of the major forces in Siam were willing to submit to each other. After their common enemy, Narruixuan, was defeated, their ambitions were all exposed.
Those who were connected to Daqin asked Daqin to help them, and those who were not connected to Daqin cooperated with each other and betrayed each other. At the same time, they also tried to contact Daqin, trying to get the support of Daqin to become the new Siam King.
Without a doubt, they were all very willing to betray the interests of their country in exchange for Daqin's cooperation, such as minerals, forests, fisheries, and even human trafficking to Daqin in exchange for Daqin's military support and political preference.
Na Ruixuan was finished. It was evident that whoever could obtain Great Qin's support would obtain the position of King of Siam. Before that, defeating all of the rebels was the most important thing.
Therefore, in such a situation, all the powerful forces in Siam announced that they were the most orthodox kings who were willing to save the people of Siam from the disaster, and the others were all rebels and ambitious people who wanted to rebel.
The rapid change of the banner made the people very depressed. Soon, the people were not just depressed, but they were crying tears of blood.
In order to fight for hegemony, the powerful forces in various places desperately squeezed out the war potential of the people under their control. They recruited able-bodied men, forcibly confiscated food and money, expanded their armies, and so on. They almost wiped out all the men, including the elderly and children.
Women were naturally not spared. Many ambitious and powerful forces chose to capture some women and sell them to people who needed them.
Who needed them?
Naturally, it was Daqin.
Ever since the official brothels in Daqin opened in major cities with exotic beauties as the main theme, they were very popular. As a result, the demand for exotic beauties in Daqin increased greatly. Those who had no money wanted to go shopping, and those who had money even wanted to get them themselves.
What was the best way to get these exotic women?
Once the imperial court declared war against the outside world, they would definitely abduct some people back, and there would definitely be women among them. As long as they paid, they could personally choose a foreign woman that suited them under the government's arrangements and bring her back home as a concubine. They could play with her however they wanted.
War represented not only destruction and heartless, but also money. As long as they were willing to develop it, every step of the war could make money.
Xiao Ruxun did not like to earn money from the poor. The poor had no money to earn, and if he earned all their money, the poor would rebel if he didn't give them a way to live.
The rich had a lot of money, so he used all kinds of excuses to plunder them. Not only did he earn a lot, but the number of the rich was also small, so they couldn't do anything. Sometimes, they were willing to spend money, like now.
Xiao Ruxun used all kinds of excuses to let the rich in Daqin share some of the costs of the Daqin army's expeditions. For example, some rare beasts, some special products, some trophies, including women. These things were very valuable.
Xiao Ruxun also planned to hold an auction every time he destroyed a country in the future to auction off the things the army had captured. This way, these rich people could more or less bear some of the costs of the army's expeditions.
These days, wars were really expensive. If it weren't for Xiao Ruxun's land reform in the Southeast and the wealth of the Southeast gentry, he wouldn't dare to start one war after another.
Even so, the money spent on wars was a bit too much. Although the land reform had a lot of money, it couldn't afford such a huge consumption. Not to mention that Xiao Ruxun still had many infrastructure projects to start. In the future, the Daqin court would be very short of money.
Taking care of Japan was for its gold and silver mines and free labor. Taking care of Siam was also to further open up the market in Southeast Asia, turning Southeast Asia into a cornucopia of Daqin. They could take whatever they wanted, make a lot of money, and get a lot of their resources.
In this way, the broken land of China would be completely repaired, and it would be brand new and full of vitality.
When Xiao Ruxun learned that the king of Japan had been captured, Na Ruixuan's government was also destroyed. Na Ruixuan himself was surrounded and intercepted by many powerful troops. It looked like he was going to be completely wiped out, and Siam had also entered a state of existence in name only.
Speaking of which, it wasn't that the countries around Siam didn't want to invade Siam to gain territory, but Xiao Ruxun didn't allow it. Xiao Ruxun warned these countries that whoever dared to invade Siam, he would take their heads.
His idea was very clear. Invading Siam at this time would only allow Siam to quickly decide a winner, and then together they would resist the foreign humiliation, so that the country could be reborn again.
Even if Siam was destroyed, and other countries annexed Siam and became stronger, it wouldn't be good for Xiao Ruxun's Daqin.
The ending that was most in the interests of Daqin was for Siam to be destroyed and split into several small countries. Several independent and hostile small countries would be conferred titles by Daqin one after another, setting the fact that they were opposed to each other and could not tolerate each other, so that Siam would cease to exist.
In this way, the situation in Southeast Asia would be more chaotic and complicated, and it would be even more impossible to produce a strong country. As the backyard of Daqin, such Southeast Asia was the most qualified.
