In thai history, there are four dynasties and fifty emperors, and only five of these emperors are revered as emperors. They were Darshade the Great, Langanting the Great, Narasuan the Great, Magu the Great, and Chulalongkorn the Great. Taksin the Great, one of the five, also has a special festival, and the Thai government stipulates that december 28, the time of Marsh's ascension to the throne, is set as Emperor Taksin's day in honor of Emperor Taksin. And this emperor is still a descendant of Chinese, he later gave 18 jars of pickles to the people of his hometown, but he was abandoned and lost, and the last regret was opened so that his intestines were green.
Marsh is a descendant of the Teochew people of Guangdong, China, and his original name was Zheng Xin. His father, Zheng Yong, was from Huafu Village, Chenghai County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangzhou, and he traveled to Thailand when he was very young. At a young age, he was adopted as a righteous son by thailand's then minister, Pai Yahweh, and received a good education from an early age, and also entered the monastery to receive education. Under cultivation, Marsh became a very talented person, and when he grew up, he was sent to the imperial palace by his righteous father as a royal bodyguard.
Tashin, who served as the imperial bodyguard, slowly developed and was soon promoted. After the death of Emperor Wulongge, King Yikata succeeded him, but at that time, the power of the dynasty was already weak, the officials above the court were vying for power and profit, and the economy of the people outside the imperial court was depressed. When the Burmese army surrounded their capital, many places that were not conquered by the Burmese army became kings. In April 1767, the city of Ayutthaya was destroyed, and their ancient capital existed for nearly 400 years, and it was burned down.
At this time, Zheng Xin believed that in order to restore the country, it was necessary to expand the land, and he used Jiancheng as his base camp and began to manufacture warships and recruit soldiers. Based on the situation, he deduced that there was an opportunity to restore the country, and the first person was to expel the foreigners. After seven months of fighting, he managed to retake the big city. This year, Marsh was only 34 years old, because the Ayutthaya was devastated, and the terrain here was already understood by the Burmese army and was not easy to defend, so Marsin decided to move the capital to Thonburi.
In rebuilding the country, he made a number of favorable policies. From then until 1774, he conquered many cities and expanded rapidly. In 1771, cambodia was occupied with troops, and Cambodia became a vassal of the Taksin Dynasty. Similarly, he did not forget his homeland, and in 1768 he sent people to China to request the Qing government to seal it. In 1777, the Qing government recognized the dynasty established by Darshan and asked them to send envoys to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.
After he became king, the people in his hometown heard about it, and many people were happy for him, and sent some people to Thailand to congratulate him. The people of the homeland are relatives, and the relatives naturally have to be well received when they come, and Marsh warmly entertains the fathers and fellow countrymen who come. After some fun, they should also go back, and Marsh gave them a gift of 18 cylinders to let them go back and share it.
This group of villagers on the way to the boat want to know what Zheng Huang sent, they opened it to see that it was pickles, and even after reading it, it was pickles. The people who hated the 18-cylinder pickle threw the 17-cylinder into the sea and only brought back one jar. When they returned to their hometown, they poured out the jar of pickles, only to find that it was not pickles, but gold and silver jewelry.
It turned out that Marsh was afraid that sending jewelry directly would be robbed by pirates and bandits on the road, so he disguised it with pickles. Surprised and not told, they threw 17 jars of gold and silver jewelry into the sea. The villagers who knew the truth regretted that their intestines were blue, and they threw away 17 cylinders of gold and silver jewelry in vain, and the remaining pickle jar was left behind as an heirloom of the Zheng family.
