Chapter 605

The meeting went on smoothly. Afterwards, Luan Xiaochen sent envoys to the Phnom Penh Dynasty to discuss. Its speed fully reflected the high efficiency of the government's work. To this end, Yang Bao also made a special supplementary explanation, and this news also made many people and citizens rejoice. From this matter, they also saw that they had a strong backer behind them. If you can win this battle, or force the Phnom Penh Dynasty to bow its head, you can raise your head wherever you go in the future, and you are no longer afraid of being targeted by others.

The messenger was very fast. He left the city at noon and rushed all the way. Seven days later, he arrived at Phnom Penh City and took out a document to meet the king of Phnom Penh Dynasty.

The officials of the Ministry of rites were responsible for receiving the envoys of Laos province. When they learned their destination from each other, these officials of the Ministry of rites were frightened. They were shocked that only a caravan was killed. How did they get so excited by the Lao provincial government? Could it be said that there were some senior officials of the provincial government among the people killed?

Facing the resolute attitude of the messenger, the receptionist did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly reported the matter layer by layer. Finally, the document demanding compensation and apology was sent to King boromo's case.

At the sight of this instrument, boromo also had a feeling that he couldn't touch his head. But then he was furious and immediately ordered someone to find general Hong Sen. he wanted to ask if it was true. If it was true, general Hong was too brave.

Forced by the great potential of mercenaries and strong combat effectiveness, it took more than half a year to settle Jiaozhi and Lancang respectively, forcing the surrounding countries to take the initiative to form an alliance. Just like now, the Phnom Penh Dynasty is an ally with Siam and the AVA Dynasty.

But although they are allies, it does not mean that they are willing to compete with mercenaries. At least none of them is willing to take the initiative to provoke mercenaries and become their first target. Perhaps the three countries will win the last battle, but the first country to be beaten is definitely the worst. Even if they can win, they are afraid they will not get any benefits.

So all three countries put their hopes on other countries. They hope that others will fight with mercenaries first, and they can reap the benefits. But this definitely does not mean that his country has become the first person to fight with mercenaries.

Hong Sen was urgently called to the palace. As soon as he met, he was scolded by the king by pointing his nose. Hong Sen didn't know what had been done too much recently, which attracted the king's anger.

It was not until bogoma was tired of scolding that he threw the document at Hun Sen's feet. It looked like you had done something good by yourself.

Hun Sen picked up the document with some trepidation. When he saw what was written on it, he was confident immediately. He is very greedy for money and has done a lot of things over the line, but he definitely didn't send people to the caravan of the solangong family, so at this moment, he strongly refuted, and even didn't hesitate to swear to show his innocence.

Hun Sen, with his neck raised, looked wronged by heaven and saw it in bolomo's eyes, which made him start to doubt the truth of the matter. After all, in front of himself, Hun Sen has no reason to lie. He's just trying to make up for it.

"You really didn't do this?" boromo couldn't help but asked with certainty, even though he believed seven points.

"It's definitely not what Chen did. If he did, he would like to be frustrated after his death." Hun Sen said ruthlessly. Of course, he was full of confidence. Since the people sent by the solangong family came, he deliberately called several confidants over, and finally confirmed that they didn't do anything, and everything was wronged. Now someone is talking about it. There is no ghost in his heart. Of course he is not afraid.

"Even if you didn't do it, why did the solangong family insist that you did it, so they sent documents to Laos? Do they want to buckle the excrement basin on our head intentionally, so that we can't use the army?" boromo's eyes kept turning, considering various possibilities.

"It must be so. They just want to use troops against our Phnom Penh Dynasty. Your majesty, mercenaries have great ambition. This is the reason they are looking for. We have to guard against it." after hearing what boromo said, Hun Sen immediately agreed.

"Ah! Sure enough, they, how can they deceive people so much? But why do they come to us? What should we do? It's better for general Hong to be wronged..." just half said, boromo shook his head. Now he has formed an alliance with Siam and the AVA Dynasty. If he shows his intention to retreat, will he not withdraw from the alliance independently? In that case, once the mercenaries really choose him as the next target, what can they do to resist others without allies?

It seems impossible to make concessions, but to be tough in the end, it really attracted the attack of mercenaries, which is not what boromo thought. For a moment, he couldn't make a decision at all. After looking at Hun Sen, who was still waiting for orders, he waved his hand first, "go down first. By the way, when others ask about you, don't say anything, that is, don't admit or deny. Look at the situation."

"Oh," Hun Sen responded intentionally. It seems that the situation must have something to do with him, but the king has such an attitude. What else can he do except promise?

Before polomo thought of a good solution, he kept dragging things until the envoys of Laos province asked to see him three times in a row, and the other party left angrily. When he left, he said arrogantly that if he returned to Laos province and could not give a satisfactory answer, the next time he would come would not be the messenger, but the army of expedition.

The messenger went back. Judging from the words left when he left, there was not much time left for the Phnom Penh Dynasty, only seven days left. If there was no decision, it seemed that a big war was in sight.

As soon as he heard that there was going to be a real war, boromo was really afraid. The military strength of Phnom Penh Dynasty is only general. In terms of territory, it is not as big as Laos province? Once he started, what would he do to resist the mercenary front?

If he can't fight again, he will bow his head. Presumably, as long as he lowers his head, the other party will have no reason to send troops. Although this will be very humiliating and even cause the dissatisfaction of the two allies, does he have any other choice? “

Just when boromo hesitated and even preferred to be soft first and pass the current difficulties, the envoys of Siam and the AVA Dynasty suddenly appeared. They expressed their recognition of the initiative of the Phnom Penh Dynasty to attack the Lao province. At the same time, they also affirmed that if the Lao province is unfavorable to the Phnom Penh Dynasty, they will never ignore it, but Will take the initiative to send troops to help. They are allies.

Suddenly, with the support of his allies, boromo became more confident, but he still couldn't make a decision. But at this time, an unexpected situation happened to him. I don't know how, the matter was spread. It was known to all the people in the country. Immediately, a large number of people stood up and said that they must not bow their heads for the sake of national dignity. At the critical moment, he said We are willing to fight for our country.

After the people asked for war, more nobles and powerful gentry stood up. They said that they could not bow their heads to the unwarranted accusations of Laos province. For this reason, they were willing to pay a large amount of military expenditure to support the king in World War I.

It's OK to say about the people. As long as the public opinion is well oriented, that is, the kind and ignorant people are easy to be used and guided. But why do those nobles stand up? Boromo was very puzzled and immediately sent someone to investigate, and soon the results came to his ears. It turned out that these nobles did this for the sake of interests and had no choice but to do so.

It's because the envoys of Siam and AVA contacted them privately and said that as long as they defeated Laos and occupied it, these nobles would get a lot of benefits. They had to do it because they had too many lessons from the past. Whether in Vietnam or Laos, many nobles' fields and real estate have been divided and occupied. Once mercenaries are really allowed If the Phnom Penh Dynasty is also occupied, these people will be forced to a dead end.

This is indeed the case. In the spirit of fighting local tyrants and sharing land is the fastest way to bring people closer and get the support of ordinary people, both Vietnam and Laos have done so. Many rich gentry have lost their wealth, and even those with bad performance have been copied and their families have been arrested for reform through labor. But not all dignitaries have been targeted like this, for example Some dignitaries who do legitimate business or inherit titles and rely on salaries have maintained the integrity of their strength because they do not have a lot of land and do nothing evil.

But no one knows that if these people are not targeted now, they will not be liquidated in the future. What if mercenaries have a firm foothold? Will they be attacked?

No one can say clearly, which frightened these dignitaries of Phnom Penh Dynasty. With the encouragement of others, they all stood up. Instead of being slaughtered, they might as well fight. If the mercenaries were defeated, wouldn't there be nothing and a lot of benefits?

Obviously, everyone has a clear idea of what to do between one turn and another. In this way, these people jumped out and decided to gamble.

If it's just the support of the people, boromo doesn't worry. The ruler here is him. As long as he gives an order and has the help of the army, it's still very easy to suppress some people. But with the participation of these dignitaries, it's completely different. Their power is intertwined. If they don't do well, even his throne will be in danger. These people can't offend Or his superior position is inseparable from the support of these people.
