Volume 1: Birth! Seven time travelers Chapter 050 Nalixuan's only son
The Indochina Peninsula is rich in resources and has many ethnic groups.
If you want to explain the ethnic groups in Indochina clearly, a doctoral dissertation is probably not enough. But if you have to briefly talk about it, among these many ethnic groups, the most important ones are four: Kinh, Khmer, Thai (Tai), and Burmese. These four ethnic groups are also the main ethnic groups in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar in the 21st century.
In the 17th century, the Kinh people already had their own country. However, the country was divided between the Zheng family and the Nguyen family. Therefore, the Kinh people were basically busy with their own affairs and rarely participated in the struggles of the other three tribes.
Among the remaining three ethnic groups, the Thai had the hardest time during this era because their territory was between the Khmer and Burmese. After the Burmese defeated the Khmer, the Burmese came, and after the Khmer retreated, the Burmese came again.
Although the Thai people have many branches and are spread over a wide area, it was very late for them to have their own country. It was not until 1238 that Sukhothai, a city inhabited by Thai people under the rule of the Angkor Dynasty in Cambodia, became independent while the Angkor Dynasty was declining, and quickly fought back against the suzerain state, seizing a large amount of Cambodian land. It established the first country in the history of the Thai people: the Sukhothai Dynasty. (In 1276, Chen Yizhong, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, saw that the Yuan Dynasty could not resist and was unwilling to surrender. In the end, he moved to Sukhothai and died.)
Sukhothai, which had resisted the suzerain state, was eventually resisted by its subordinate state. In 1350, King Uthong became independent from the Sukhothai Dynasty and established the Ayutthaya Kingdom. He then quickly defeated the Sukhothai Dynasty.
But the good times did not last long. The Burmese next door to the Thais rose again and became extremely powerful. The outstanding monarch in the history of the Burmese, Maung Yinglong, became king in 1551 and quickly completed the reunification of Myanmar and established the most powerful Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar's history. After that, Maung Yinglong led his troops eastward, and Shan State, Ayutthaya Kingdom, and Laos were all reduced to dust.
That's right, the Burmese have always been so powerful in history. The Ayutthaya Kingdom was destroyed by the Burmese twice in this historical plane.
After the Ayutthaya Kingdom was destroyed for the first time, the one who led the Thai people to restore their country was the most famous leader in Thai history: Naresuan.
In the 21st century, the level of Thai film production is still quite good. They have made many films and TV series about this period of history.
There is an animated film called "Siam Showdown: Nine Gods Armor", which tells the story of how the ugly Yaksha tribe from the northwest destroyed the Kingdom of Siam, and how a young hero who is proficient in Muay Thai restored the kingdom with the help of his friends (the heroine is a female pirate from the Ming Dynasty). In fact, it is an allusion to the Burmese invasion of Thailand.
There are also six series of movies titled "King Naresuan of Thailand", which are all about concealing the name of the respected king, whitewashing him, and praising him. Naresuan is portrayed as extremely great and glorious...
In fact, anyone with a little historical knowledge knows that a person who can lead the nation to restore its country when it is destroyed is not only a hero, but also a tyrant. There must be a dark side behind him - before Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was fully fledged, he still had to flatter the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.
Speaking specifically of Nalixuan, this person has too many dark histories.
His father, Thamaroja, was originally a local general of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. When Mangyalung led the Burmese army to attack, Thamaroja surrendered directly. In order to gain Mangyalung's trust, he also sent his two sons, Naresuan and Ekatasari, to Burma as hostages. He himself became the vanguard of the attack on his former master.
After the Ayutthaya Kingdom was destroyed by Myanmar, Naresuan, as a "loyal subordinate" of Myanmar, helped Mangyinglong suppress many uprisings . As his hands were stained with the blood of his compatriots, he became more and more trusted by Mangyinglong. Finally, he was given the qualification to rule a region alone.
In 1581, the great Burmese hero Mang Yinglong died. Naresuan, his father and his brother took advantage of the turmoil in Myanmar and quickly raised the banner of national restoration. After that, they repeatedly repelled the Burmese intervention army and even fought back into Myanmar and acquired a large amount of Burmese land.
The Indochina Peninsula is also often caught in a Three Kingdoms situation.
When Myanmar was strong, Thailand would often take the initiative to unite with the Tai (Shan) tribe in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to fight against Myanmar. During Naresuan's counterattack against Myanmar, he received help from the Yunnan local government of the Ming Dynasty. When Thailand became strong, Myanmar and Cambodia would naturally join forces.
But Naresuan was more powerful than other Thai kings because he easily blocked the joint attack of Myanmar and Cambodia, and even counterattacked into Cambodia and seized a large amount of land. Not only that, he also contacted Vietnam to attack Cambodia... Well, this is also a Three Kingdoms game.
In the historical plane, after Naresuan's death, his younger brother, Urgatasari, known as the White Prince, succeeded him. But in this plane, in October 1600, Naresuan, who had fought all his life and had great martial arts, welcomed his only son. When the child was born, a huge image of the birth of the Buddha appeared in the sky, so Naresuan named the child Rājabudu and tried his best to cultivate him.
Unfortunately, he died on the first day of September in 1605. Naresuan, who had conquered Thailand and established the largest territory in history, passed away. According to his will, his son, Rajabudu, succeeded him as king.
On the fifth day of September, Rāja Buddha officially accepted the worship of his subjects and ascended the throne of the King of Thailand. At this moment, a dazzling light shone from his back. While triggering the collective induction of the other six travelers, it also made the subjects at Rāja Buddha's feet more pious.
This is the last insurance set up by the gods to prevent their representatives from ascending to the throne too early for various reasons, leading to a situation of doubt between the ruler and the country, thus putting the life of the time traveler in danger: on the day of ascension to the throne, miracles will reappear.
"Ding~~ Detected that the host has reached the top of the king in this era, the system is activated."
"Oh my god, this really can't be Zhai Yinyin... There's actually a system?"
"Yes, Luo Jifutu, you are the first of the seven time travelers to ascend the throne, so you are also the first to trigger the system."
"Okay, please tell me, system, how can you help me?"
"Because the gods constantly compromised before starting this game, this system can't help the host much. There are only three points. First, it accurately provides the host with the location of other travelers. Second, according to the difference in your natal stars, after you reach the top in your respective countries, you will be given a talent bonus. In addition, there is one more item: monitor the host's words and deeds. If the host has a tendency to expose himself, the host will be immediately wiped out. Whether this item is activated has nothing to do with whether the host reaches the top."
"I...Okay, what is this talent bonus?"
"Luojafutu, you studied at the Agricultural College before you traveled through time, and you are an amateur Muay Thai master... When you traveled through time, the natal star given to you by the gods is the fifth star of the Big Dipper. The Chinese call him Yuheng, also known as Lianzhen Xingjun, who is in charge of official administration. Therefore, when you become the queen, the integrity of all the ministers in your country will be improved to a certain extent, and the officials will become more courageous in their duties."
"A certain degree of improvement? That doesn't sound very plausible."
"Yes, this game of the gods depends more on your own abilities. The system is mainly for supervision and slight assistance, or in other words, it is just to satisfy the evil tastes of some gods. After Yuheng is activated, your ministers, those who are originally honest, will stop taking small profits, and the extremely corrupt will have a fear of the law... That's about the effect."
"...System, do you have any other functions?"
"there is none left!"
"You are such a weak system. Well, it doesn't matter. Before I traveled through time, I watched "Emperor Naresuan" and "The Perfect Match" every day. I thought Naresuan was a perfect man of morality and a military saint. But after traveling through time, I realized that he was great at fighting, but terrible at governing the country. Thailand is now in ruins and the people are living in poverty. If the war continues, I'm afraid that all the farmers in the country will revolt... Next, I want to have a good rest with the people and restore the vitality of the country. It is great that you can improve the integrity of officials across the country, even if it is only limited. System, I have one last question."
"Host, please speak?"
"If I eliminate the other travelers..."
"Yes, no matter you kill him yourself or your subjects kill him, his talent will be added to you. And vice versa!"
