That afternoon, King Bhumibol, the world's longest-reigning monarch, died at the age of88years old and reigned for as long as70Years. Now Thailand is in national mourning, all TV stations are in black and white, and the country is said to be in mourning for a month. But in Thai folklore, everyone is waiting to see if an ancient curse will be fulfilled, a curse that relates to whether the Bangkok dynasty can continue.
This article reveals the story.
The story begins with Zheng He's voyage to the West. Zheng He's feat opened up the eyes of the people of China, letting everyone know that there were so many unknown worlds on the other side of the sea. As a result, farmers from the southeast coast of China, in order to make a living, also went to the South China Sea.
Guangdong Chenghai County, Hua Fu village has a poor farmer called Zheng Yong, he also ran to the South Seas to try his luck, came to Siam and made a fortune, married a local woman as his wife, gave birth to a son called Zheng Xin (also known as Daxin). Later Jung Yong died of illness, Jung Shin recognized a minister as a godfather, with the help of his father, he became a palace guard. Later, the country declined and was invaded by Burma, and the dynasty was overthrown. Zheng Xin organized a resistance army against Burma along the southeast coast of Thailand, and by relying on this miscellaneous army he even succeeded in rebelling against the Burmese army and established the Tunburi Dynasty.
"Tun" for the meaning of wealth, "Buri" for the meaning of the castle, together meaning "City of Wealth", which is the third dynasty in Thai history. At this time, Zheng Xin only33Age. He was super popular in Siam, where he defeated Burma, Cambodia and Laos, and was a godlike figure in martial arts. After becoming the overlord of the Central and Southern Peninsula, Zheng Xin wrote a letter to the Qianlong Emperor asking for the royal title of King of Siam.
Unfortunately, the Thonburi dynasty lasted only one generation when Jung Shin suffered a coup and was murdered by his own subordinate and son-in-law, a usurper named Rama. This usurper was named Rama, who founded the Bangkok dynasty and was himself Rama I. Rama I feared no one but the Chinese Emperor. Rama I was afraid of no one but the Chinese emperor, so he came up with a plan, he gave himself a Chinese name Zheng Hua, lied to Qianlong that he was Zheng Xin's son, so he was able to successfully pass the test, as usual, when he was the king of Siam.
Thai folklore has it that Rama killed Jung Shin by putting him in a sack and hitting him on the top with a sandalwood stick. Before he died, Jung Shin cursed, "The one who takes my throne will die in ten generations. The worst thing is that the one who died yesterday happened to be Rama IX. And the one who's going to succeed the throne, Wajiralongkorn, is a total loser. Just look at the name."Wojiralongkorn", even the name looks like a random flip.
You search the internet for news about the Crown Prince of Thailand and it's almost all negative.
Wearing jeans, sandals, a white tank top and tattoos all over his body, this Rama X has a wife who supposedly used to be a stripper. In Thailand, Vajiralongkorn's prestige is almost nil, far less than that old friend of the Chinese people.--Princess Sirindhorn. The name Sirindhorn is obviously a serious translation. Since the King of Thailand lived so long, the prince and princess both60Out of the way. It's a pity that King Tai only has one son, and the throne can only be passed on to him, or else it wouldn't have been this scum's turn to be king at all.
Let's get to the point. Jung Shin's Thai name is Dasin.Taksin), while former Prime Minister Thaksin wasThaksin, in Thai, the two names are almost identical. Thaksin is of Chinese descent, his ancestors were Hakka from Meizhou, Guangdong, and his original surname was Qiu. One's name is Zheng Xin, the other is Qiu Xin. Do you think they look alike?
Thaksin was originally a police officer, once graduated from the Bangkok Police Academy with the top grade in the school, earned a doctorate in the U.S., returned to the U.S. and founded a computer service company, which has almost monopolized Thailand's TV satellite dish and cell phone business, owns four listed companies, and is the richest man in Thailand. This is higher than that scum Wajiralongkorn I don't know where. Thaksin is also very popular in Thailand, as he is the first prime minister in Thai history to serve a full four-year term, and the first to be re-elected through an election.
The Thai people believe that Thaksin is the reincarnation of Jung Shin, and that Jung Shin is going to fulfill that ancient curse through the hands of Thaksin, who is going to take back the throne that belongs to him in his tenth life. That's why the common people voted for Thaksin in droves. The idea of the common people was very shocking to the Thai royal family.
Thailand's constitutional monarchy is different from those of other countries in that the military of other countries is loyal to the state, but only the Thai military is loyal to the royal family, so once the King of Thailand does not like an elected Prime Minister, he can have the military stage a military coup to overthrow the elected government, so the people of Thailand are accustomed to the frequent military coups.
Thaksin was not only blessed with the aura of Jung Shin, but he was really superb and thus won the hearts of the people. The Thai royal family was so upset that they repeated the same trick and staged a military coup. Waiting for Thaksin to visit abroad, they immediately sent the army to overthrow the government and prevented Thaksin from returning home.
After Thaksin was ousted, the royal family was very happy, thinking that there would be no more worries. As a result, every general election was followed by Thaksin's cronies coming to power, with a Somchai as prime minister, who was Thaksin's brother-in-law, and later a female prime minister, Yingluck, who turned out to be Thaksin's sister.
The royal family is in agony. Why does Thaksin never stop? In fact, it is very simple, this is the public opinion, the people believe that Thaksin is the reincarnation of Zheng Xin, what can you do? This time the royal family simply shameless, directly appointed the Thai army commander Prayut as prime minister, also do not election, election after election are Thaksin's people, but also election of bullshit.
In the news we always hear about the yellow shirts and the red shirts, the ones in yellow are in favor of the royal family and the ones in red are in favor of Thaksin, and the two groups are always clashing.
In the past, these two forces were still evenly matched, because the old King Rama IX still had prestige and could still fight against Zheng Xin's incarnation, but Wojilalongkorn was the fighting force for the5How can he fight against the incarnation of Jung Shin? The Bangkok dynasty is ironically doomed at the hands of Rama X, ah.
Now the Thai royal family's idea is very simple, let Rama X at least last until Rama XI, so that the ancient curse is even invalidated, if it does not last until Rama XI, we all stop playing, the dynasty end it.
Now.10Month.12moon28The day is Thailand's "Zheng Wang Festival", is to commemorate the festival of Zheng Xin, I estimate that in these two months there will be big changes in Thailand, so run to Thailand to travel friends be careful, do not come back to the plane.
