There is an emperor in Thailand called Taksin, who is the first of the five emperors of Thailand, the founder of the famous Thai Thonburi Dynasty, but it is very interesting that this emperor is not a native of Thailand, he is actually a Chinese born in Chaozhou, Guangdong, China.
Marsh was born in 1734, when the Qing government was afraid that the advanced products of foreign trade in western Europe would threaten its dominance, so while closing the country, it relocated coastal residents on a large scale and strictly forbade residents to go to sea to fish.
This is a very heavy blow to Marsh's family of fishermen who have been fishing for generations, and the ban on fishing means that they have lost the ability to survive by eating. In desperation, Marsh had to leave Guangdong to make a living elsewhere, and after a long trip, he came to Thailand.
During his time in Thailand, he was unexpectedly seen by the Thai dynasty's Pat Yahjie, who felt that this boy was a talent and adopted him as a righteous son, And Marsh was not complacent because he could live a rich life from then on, on the contrary, he stepped up his study of the local Buddhist temples and The Pa Li scriptures and Thai. Soon to be able to speak fluent Thai.
The righteous father also introduced him to the king of Thailand, the king of Thailand was very fond of Marsh, gave him a major official position, in the era of King Wulongge of Thailand, Darshade once served as the inspector on behalf of the king to tour and adjudicate cases, and later served as the lord of The city of Tasseong, an important city in Thailand, and made Tasong a very prosperous city.
Later, thailand was attacked by the Burmese army, and the territory fell for a time, and Marsh gathered the remnants of Thailand's troops and, after regaining its strength, expelled the Burmese army from Thailand's borders. He became a hero of Thailand, and the Thai government still holds a memorial ceremony to commemorate Marsh on December 18 every year.
On December 28, 1767, Marsh was proclaimed king of Thailand and established his own Thonburi Dynasty, when Marsh became emperor, the hometown people were very happy, and when some hometown people from Chaoxiang, Guangdong Province, came to trade, they came to congratulate Marsh by the way, and Marsh did not slack off for his hometown people and set up a banquet.
When these villagers were about to return to Guangzhou by boat, Marsh also specially gave them seventeen jars, and the villagers were very happy and thought that it was a very valuable gift.
On the way back to China, everyone opened these jars, to see what kind of treasure, the result of a sour smell came to the nose, people found that it was seventeen cylinders of local Pickles in Thailand, everyone couldn't help but be a little disgusted, thinking, Marsh is too stingy, we are kind to visit you, as an emperor but take pickles as a return.
In order to return quickly to sell the goods they got in Thailand, people threw away the seventeen jars of pickles that Marsh had given them in one fell swoop in order to reduce the pressure, thinking that there was no value anyway.
When they were about to arrive at the shore, everyone decided to distribute the remaining jar of pickles and take them home to their relatives to taste, only to be dumbfounded when everyone got half of them, and it turned out that there were piles of still piles under the pickles. It turned out that Marsh was afraid that they would encounter pirates, and deliberately put pickles on top of gold to hide their eyes.
It is a pity that these people did not appreciate The good intentions of Daxin, and missed a good opportunity to get rich in vain, presumably their intestines are repentant.
