Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 372 Chulalongkorn’s Surrender

Although, strictly speaking, the Yizhou Army is not the most elite group of troops in Daxia. In the entire Daxia, both the Beijing Camp and the Longxiang Army are more well-trained than the Yizhou Army.

However, when it comes to not being afraid of death, the Yizhou Army is definitely ranked number one.

With the slightly unfamiliar infantry and artillery fighting in coordination, the Yizhou Army quickly rushed in front of Chulalongkorn's Guards Division.

Facing the Guards Division, which lacked weapons and had low morale, the First Division of the Yizhou Army simply suppressed the opponent.

As mentioned before, the Yizhou Army is a team formed by the people of Yizhou Island. In addition to the obedience of the army, they also have the blood ties between the tribesmen.

They believe in tooth for tooth and blood for blood.

Nachai used extremely despicable means to burn their tribesmen to death in Bangkok, and then under the propaganda of the empire, Chulalongkorn took the blame for all this.

Therefore, the Yizhou Army naturally transferred its hatred to Chulalongkorn.

Now that they have encountered the culprit of this incident, how can the Yizhou Army be polite to Chulalongkong?

Many soldiers charged and fired at the Guards Division. When the bullets in the gun chamber were exhausted, they did not reload, but directly used the bayonet to overturn the opponent's enemy.

And those Guards divisions who have never experienced war, how have they ever seen such a crazy fighting style?

I was immediately stunned on the spot.

Under the inner fear, many times they turned around and fled before the Yizhou army could rush in front of them.

In this way, their backs were handed over to the Yizhou Army, which made it easier for the Yizhou Army to practice bayonets on them.

In less than two hours, Chulalongkorn's Guards Division was defeated by the Yizhou Army.

The defeated army ran over the mountains and plains, while the Yizhou army followed behind.

This pursuit battle was not over until nightfall.

In this encounter, more than 3800 people of the Guards Division were killed, 5600 were captured alive, and more than 4000 escaped.

The main reason why more people escaped than were killed was that the front was defeated so quickly that there were still a large number of Guards Division soldiers in the rear who did not join the battlefield, and the people in the front were defeated.

At that time, the Yizhou Army had not made contact with the people in the rear, so they could escape safely.

If it weren't for the Yizhou Army, which was good at mountain passes and pursuit, I'm afraid even more people would have been able to escape.

However, there is also a piece of good news, that is, the Guards Division was defeated so quickly that Chulalongkorn did not run away.

After all, in that kind of panic situation, not everyone can still remember that there is a person like Chulalongkorn.

At that time, a platoon of the Yizhou Army rushed too fast and was ambushed by a group of Guards Division soldiers armed with weapons. More than ten soldiers were shot and injured on the spot.

The remaining soldiers immediately realized something was wrong, because the Guards Division soldiers who ambushed them in front were obviously different from other Guards Division soldiers.

These people's fighting will is very high. The other soldiers of the Guards Division will be defeated as long as they are charged by the Yizhou Army.

And this group of people was charged three or four times by the Yizhou army, but they still held on. This immediately attracted the attention of the Yizhou Army.

As a result, a large number of Yizhou Army soldiers began to gather in this direction, and then surrounded them all.

Later, Mona Ludo directly transferred ten mortars and bombarded the Guards Division soldiers before the Guards Division raised the white flag and surrendered.

When Mona Ludao rushed over with his people, he realized that it was Chulalongkorn they were surrounding.

At this time, Chulalongkorn had been injured by the shelling just now, and a lot of blood oozed from his arm.

He was also frightened by the attack of the Yizhou Army, fearing that he would be killed, so he ordered his close servants to surrender.

Mona Ludo was very happy to catch the big fish Chulalongkorn. After all, if he wanted Siam to be stable, Chulalongkorn could not die.

So, on the one hand, Mona Ludao asked people to treat Chulalongkorn, and on the other hand, he called Fan Shaozeng and asked how to deal with Chulalongkorn.

Fan Shaozeng was equally excited when he heard that Mona Ludo had captured Chulalongkorn, because catching Chulalongkorn meant that they had a relatively stable rear.

Therefore, Fan Shaozeng ordered Mona Rudao to send a brigade to escort Chulalongkorn back to Bangkok and imprison him until after the war.

However, before that, Fan Shaozeng also told Mona Ludao that Chulalongkorn must issue an order to stop resistance and ensure the life safety of the Siamese royal family.

Although Mona Ludao is also a civilian, as one of the few major general-level officers in the Yizhou Army, he naturally knows which is more important.

He was very aware of the interests between countries, so he asked his adjutant to escort Chulalongkorn back to Bangkok with a brigade of soldiers.

At this time, Chulalongkorn was already frightened by the Yizhou army, and he did not dare to resist at all.

In order to allow Chulalongkorn to cooperate with the empire's activities in Siam, Mona Ludo also told Chulalongkorn to be more honest and not to have any unrealistic ideas.

If he could cooperate with the empire and help the empire's activities in Siam, he could survive and his son could succeed to the throne of Siam.

If you want to resist, the empire doesn't mind changing someone with a different surname to be the King of Siam.

Upon hearing Mona Rudo's threat, Chulalongkorn nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely comply with the empire's wishes.

Chulalongkorn knew very well that he was wavering between the Empire and the Entente, and the Empire would definitely not let him continue to be King of Siam.

But allowing his son to succeed to the throne would be worthy of his ancestors. Previously, his lineage was still the king of Siam.

And he himself can still survive.

You know, under the absolute force, it would be very easy for the empire to replace someone or let his collateral succeed the throne.

But now that the empire was still willing to support his son, he didn't dare to ask for anything else.

Therefore, with Chulalongkorn's cooperation, the Yizhou army escorting Chulalongkorn returned to the messy Bangkok very smoothly.

On the Kingdom of Siam Radio, Chulalongkorn gave a speech, saying that the Kingdom of Siam has always been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Daxia Empire was the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains, and Siam should follow previous practice and regard the Daxia Empire as its suzerainty.

The current conflict between the Kingdom of Siam and the Empire of Bactria was instigated by the European Entente.

Therefore, as the King of Siam, Chulalongkorn asked all Siamese subjects to stop any irrational behavior against the Bactrian Empire.

The subjects of the Kingdom of Siam were asked to assist the Great Xia Empire in expelling the forces of the Allied Powers and declaring war on the Allied Powers.

At the same time, it was stated that the Kingdom of Siam would advance and retreat together with the Empire of Great Xia, and would organize 20 troops from the Kingdom of Siam to join the war.

After hearing Chulalongkorn's preaching on the radio, Fan Shaozeng smiled with satisfaction.

So he compiled intelligence about the Kingdom of Siam and sent it back to the Imperial Military Department, indicating that the Dongchuan Army had basically controlled Siam.

So, just like this, the Kingdom of Siam became the first Southeast Asian kingdom to stop resisting and be controlled by the empire.
