Chapter 1039 Heading for Malacca

"Your Majesty, I hope that Siam will always be under your protection in the future." Zhao Xu sat on the steps of the main hall.

Songpa shouted respectfully when he presented the letter of credence.

Zhao Xu simply glanced at the letter of credence and looked at Songpa standing at the bottom of the steps.

After receiving the news from Qin Shan, he set out.

After taking over Siam, the influence of the Westerners in the southeast region was completely eliminated.

At the same time, this means that the road to attack Malacca from land has been completely opened, which is of great significance.

Nodding gently, he said to Songpa: "History will prove that your choice is correct. Dasong will not only bring you security guarantees, but also make you more and more prosperous."

According to his plan, Dasong will first get along with Goryeo, Dongying and the five southeastern countries, even Luzon and Java, as vassal relations, and at the same time establish a trade circle with Dasong as the core.

Although Dasong is taking advantage of this trade circle, it is not to say that they will become poorer and poorer.

Because wealth comes not only from trade surpluses, but also from the improvement of its own technology.

In the Dasong business circle, they will naturally accept some of the backward technology transfer from Dasong.

This is enough to allow them to enter the modern level from the production level of the feudal era.

However, even this transfer of backward technology will be reviewed by the Industry Department.

The extent of the transfer depends on the extent to which these vassal states are assimilated by Dasong in the future.

The vassal relationship is temporary, just to avoid excessively arousing the emotions of the people of various countries at present.

If the vassal states can be assimilated to a certain extent and eventually incorporated into the territory of Dasong, it will naturally be the best situation.

But this will inevitably not be achieved in the short term.

However, he has plenty of patience. If it can't be done in 20 years, it will be 40 years, and if it can't be done in 40 years, it will be 60 years.

Moreover, as time goes by, the technology and wealth of Dasong will certainly be more and more different from other countries.

At that time, the rich, powerful and advanced Dasong will inevitably become a holy place in the hearts of the East Land countries.

Maybe at that time, even if he doesn't want these vassal states, the other party will cry and ask to be incorporated into Dasong.

"With the words of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, I and the people of Siam feel relieved." Songpa bowed even more deeply after hearing this.

After handing over the letter of credence, Songpa of course hosted a banquet for Zhao Xu.

During the banquet, the two talked about the upcoming war and how Siam could provide support to the Dasong army.

Among the five southeastern countries, Siam is the richest.

Because the other four countries are either mountainous, completely landlocked, or have many ethnic groups and often war.

Only Siam has many plains, rich rice, close to Malacca, and frequent trade with India.

In modern times, Siam is also the richest of the five countries, and is also one of the top ten grain exporters in the world.

Therefore, in this war in the southern region, as long as Siam supports it, the Dasong army will have no logistical problems.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will issue orders to the various Siamese prefectures tomorrow, asking them to count the granaries and provide food for the Dasong army along the way." Songpa said hurriedly.

By joining Dasong, he offended the people of the West. This was a road of no return.

Since he had stood with Dasong, he would naturally support the Dasong army and drive the Dasong army out of the East.

"That's great." Zhao Xu smiled.

The five southeastern countries were just the appetizers of this southward war. The highlight was the war with the Western coalition.

This decisive battle could begin after he took Siam.

On his way to Siam, he gave orders to Gong Ying and Pan Chang to send the Marines to the east of Java, seize Java and threaten the south bank of Malacca.

The north bank was under the charge of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army.

The three armies together would have a total of 150,000 troops deployed in the Battle of Malacca.

The next day, Zhao Xu summoned Qin Shan and Guan Tong and ordered them to reorganize the soldiers, replenish the ammunition brought by the navy from Dasong's homeland, and attack in the direction of Malacca.

After three days of preparation, the Azure Dragon Army and the Vermillion Bird Army marched westward, then southward, and headed straight for Malacca.

While the Azure Dragon Army and the Vermillion Bird Army were approaching Malacca, the 50,000 Marines led by Pan Chang were also approaching the Western Turkic Allied Forces' defensive fortifications on the south bank of Malacca.

The war was about to start!

...

Singapore.

The movements of the Dasong Army were constantly sent to Wesley.

As the Dasong Army approached, Wesley's expression became more and more serious, and the time spent inspecting the fortifications became longer and longer.

To the north of Dasong, the offensives of the Northern Di and Ross Kingdom failed completely.

To the south of Dasong, the indigenous army they formed did not play a role in blocking the Dasong Army for a year or two.

It took only one and a half months from the Dasong Army's march south to its full occupation of the five southeastern countries.

And their reinforcements will take at least two or three months to arrive.

In other words, he must hold on for more than two or three months.

Otherwise, once Malacca is occupied by the Dasong army, their navy can attack or defend.

More importantly, if their fleet enters the Indian waters and cuts off their sea routes, Britain will lose India forever.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for three hundred years, this world has been ruled by us Westerners. If we want the sky to fall, the sky will fall, and if we want the earth to sink, the earth will sink."

The Dasong army will arrive in just five or six days.

Facing the impending war, Wesley decided to give a war speech.

After finishing the first sentence passionately, he looked at the angry generals and continued loudly: "In front of us Westerners, the natives of the world have to prostrate themselves on the ground and admire the glory of our Westerners. Why are we so excellent? Because we are God's favorites, because we are the noblest race."

"Please remember that we must never let the pigs and bugs of the East tarnish our glory. In the past, we had the final say in this world, and in the future, we will have the final say in this world. And those who stop us, we will make him go to hell!"

After saying this, Wesley slammed his fist on the table.

"That's right, let the Dasong people go to hell."

"These disgusting pigs should all die."

"We will teach them a lesson with war, and let their blood dye the land of Malacca red."

"..."

Wesley's speech excited the officers, and they wanted to kill the Dasong soldiers on the battlefield right now.

This scene made Wesley look satisfied.

He slowed down his voice and said, "The people of Dasong will be here soon. Let them see how powerful we are."

"Yes, Admiral Wesley." The officers saluted Wesley and turned away.

In the next three days, the officers of the coalition spread Wesley's speech to every soldier in the West, which aroused the high fighting spirit of the soldiers in the West.

On the fifth day, the atmosphere of the coalition suddenly became solemn.

The Dasong army arrived.
