The story I want to tell today is about a Thai emperor who was of Chinese descent and was still a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.
Because there was a sea ban in the southeast coastal area at that time, people in the coastal area had a difficult life, so some of them had to travel along the coast to find a way to continue their lives.
Among them is the story of the emperor's father, Zheng Yong, who traveled along the river and eventually arrived in Thailand, then a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, where he handed over the best precious gifts to the Qing Dynasty every year.
Destiny meets nobles
The ancients often said that sometimes there must be a fate in the end, and the fate should not be forced at any time, perhaps Zheng Xin has such an emperor's fate.
Zheng Xin's father, Zheng Yong, traveled along the coast to Thailand, continued to do business in Thailand, and met local women in Thailand, giving birth to a child, Zheng Xin.
In the course of business, I met a Thai minister, Chao Phraya Jieji, who is a title in Thailand, and the five titles of Thailand: first class Chao Phraya, second class Phaya, third class is Pa, fourth class is Luan, fifth class is Kun, equivalent to the ancient Chinese Gonghou Bozi male.
It was jieji who met jieji, so he changed his fate, one day, jieji went to Zheng Yong's home to find Zheng Yong, and when he walked to his house, he first saw a cradle, and there was a little boy lying in the cradle.
The little boy actually had a poisonous snake on his body, which just happened to let Jieji see it, and Jieji did not panic, but gently walked to the side of the little guy, and suddenly grabbed it with his hand, and then caught the snake.
After Zheng Yong learned about this matter, he asked the child to recognize Jie Ji as a righteous father, and Jie Ji had no children in the family, and he also liked this child very much and agreed.
It was this event that changed the fate of the child, after which Zheng Xin was sent to study Theravada Buddhism, and later began to learn martial arts, receiving an aristocratic education like other aristocratic disciples.
At the age of 20, Zheng Xin was tested by the emperor, and the emperor was satisfied with Zheng Xin, so he arranged for Zheng Xin to study at the imperial temple, and was later appointed as the deputy governor of Xingfu, Yin, who was later also known as Dafu, to defend the borders of Thailand and Burma.
Due to the military merits he established, Zheng Xin was later given the title of second-class knighthood "Phaya", and was accustomed to being called Phaya Daxin.
Decline and struggle
In 1765, the Burmese enemy soldiers entered the Thai capital in one of two ways, and then Zheng Xin received the news and rushed back, arriving and repelling the enemy army.
Although victorious, but because of the private artillery fire to attack the enemy during the battle, they were rumored, and the most feared thing about the war was that the general who fought the war was fighting outside, while some villains privately entered the court to gossip.
From ancient times to the present, once most generals are rumored, it is the beginning of the country's downfall, such as Yue Fei and Qin Ju.
Qin Jun, together with Wang Gui and Wang Jun, charged Yue Fei and others with false charges such as mutiny, and eventually Emperor Gaozong of Song killed Yue Fei, and the country fell from then on, and the Song Dynasty signed a contract with the Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty bowed to Jin and contributed goods to Jin.
Qu Yuan was also because the people around the emperor gave rumors to the emperor, so as not to trust Qu Yuan, so the final outcome of the Chu state was also very tragic, the emperor was imprisoned in the qin state or his son agreed to send it, the final outcome can be imagined, after the fall of the chu state, Qu Yuan threw himself into the river and died.
So this story tells us that once the capable person is not trusted by the emperor, the general ending is more tragic, and Zhuge Liang once said this truth to Liu Chan in the "Table of Teachers".
Tell Liu Chan to kiss the Xianchen, far from the villain, this first Han so Xinglong also, pro-Xiaoren Yuanxianchen, after that Han so fell into decadence also.
Today, the protagonist of this story was rumored to the emperor because he privately lit a cannon to attack the enemy, so the emperor lost trust in Zheng Xin.
Due to the internal disunity of Thailand, the king eventually starved to death on the way to escape, and Thailand gradually went to extinction.
After that, due to the brutality of the Burmese army to the people of Thailand, coupled with Zheng Xin's own reputation and more than 10,000 soldiers, after years of struggle, in 1769, the city of Thonburi was recovered, and then the North attacked the Burmese army, and finally Thailand returned to the heyday of Thailand.
At this time, because of the war with Burma for several years, the Thai royal family did not leave any descendants, so the people elected Zheng Xin as the first emperor of the Thonburi Dynasty, and the capital was Thonburi.
And set up a monument and commemoration ceremony for Zheng Xin, who was 35 years old, set up a memorial and commemoration ceremony for Zheng Xin.
Meritorious name, hometown detective
Thailand was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and when Zheng Xin's becoming emperor was learned by the people in his hometown, the people in his hometown sent representatives to visit Zheng Xin and congratulate Zheng Xin.
Zheng Xin also took out the best meals at home for the people in his hometown to entertain them, and just when he was eating and drinking, Zheng Xin heard about his father's affairs in his hometown and also heard about the Zheng family, and when he learned that the people in the family were not having a good time, Zheng Xin was silent.
Just at the moment of separation, Zheng Xin ordered the people to take out eighteen large jars of pickles to take back to them, and told them not to dismantle them on the road, but to go back and dismantle them again.
As a result, on the way, people took apart the pickles, dismantled several tanks of pickles, and the villagers threw the pickles into the river in a rage.
People are muttering while throwing, now they are all mixed into the emperor, how can they really give us a few jars of pickles? This also seems too stingy, Thailand is famous for jewelry, how can it give so many pickles.
So when they threw it, there was a jar left, and this jar was delivered smoothly to the village, and many people in the village saw that their boat had returned, so they all came forward to gather.
The young people in the village also heard about this, and several people teamed up to pour out the jar to see what secrets were inside.
It doesn't matter, after the key fell, people were dumbfounded, it turned out that under the pickles were jewelry, and regret was useless at this time.
Later, the Zheng family kept this jar of things, and has been offering it to worship, and it is not easy to take it out.
At this time, people repented that they were not allowed to dismantle on the way to prevent thieves at sea, but they did not expect to prevent them.
After that, the Zheng family seems to have sent people to find the whereabouts of those jewels, but they have not found a trace, which should also be regarded as a warning, looking at things can not only look at the surface.
Zheng Xin grew up in Thailand since childhood, although he has not seen his hometown, he will still miss his hometown and his relatives in his hometown, which should be called not forgetting Ben, no matter how he does things, he should learn this spirit of not forgetting Ben.
