Friends who like to travel should be very fond of Phuket and Bangkok in Thailand, as a very beautiful country, it has always been very friendly to Chinese tourists. Not only that, there are many places, especially tourist places, most locals will say Chinese, in addition to the convenience of tourism, there is a special reason for the closeness between the two countries, that is, because of an emperor of Thailand, his father is an authentic Cantonese.
The one we are talking about today is Zheng Xin, the founder of the great Thonburi Dynasty in Thai history, which was the Qing Dynasty in China at that time. During the Yongzheng period, many people who made a living at sea could not live because of some prohibitions on the sea, and his father Zheng Di was forced to go to Thailand to seek a livelihood because of his life.
There, Mr. Cheng's career was well-off, and he also met some politicians, and a good friend at the time, Chao Phraya Jieji, was a Thai minister of finance. He settled there and married a local girl, and later gave birth to Zheng Xin, but he died shortly after. Fortunately, the friend mentioned earlier adopted his son, where Zheng Xin received the best education and Washu Wu was proficient in everything.
Because of his adoptive father's reasons and his experience in serving in the imperial palace since childhood, he was recommended as an inspector when he became an adult, and later because he was aware of the people's feelings, he was just and upright, and had a high reputation in the folk, and later became the lord of the city. However, it was not long before the war came, when Burma launched an attack on Thailand, thailand was gradually defeated, and finally destroyed the Ayutthaya dynasty in Thailand, when Thailand became fragmented.
However, later Burma was too ambitious, bullied to the head of the Qing Dynasty, and was counterattacked by Qianlong, and finally had to take back the Thai army. Later, Zheng Xin led the army to retake the capital, and then moved the capital to Thonburi, cleaned up the mess and unified Thailand, established the Thonburi Dynasty, and became the emperor. In what is now Bangkok, there is a Thonburi Square, there is a monument to Taksin Taksin, and there is a unique festival "TakSin Festival".
In history, there is an interesting legend about this emperor, when Zheng Xin called the empress, the people of china used to celebrate, and when they left, the emperor gave the villagers 18 large cylinders, heavy and loaded on the boat. But when they got to the sea, they were very curious about what the emperor had sent, and when they opened it to see that it was pickles, they were disappointed and threw 17 cylinders into the sea, leaving only one jar as a souvenir, after all, it was the emperor's reward.
However, after returning home, many people came to observe the emperor's reward, so this jar of pickles was poured out, and in addition to these pickles, there were many gold and silver treasures. It turned out that the top was a pickle, and the bottom was a treasure, which was also the emperor's intention to keep them from being robbed by pirates. They could not regret seeing this scene, but the treasure thrown into the sea could not be found again. Later, this jar of pickles became the heirloom of the Zheng family, which was handed down from generation to generation.
