Genius to reign of kingdom


Genius to reign of kingdom
B.E. (1585 – 1587 A.D.) In the wars with King of Chiangmai, Praya Pasim, and King Natabureng, the Burmese troops could not get close to Ayuddhaya. On the contrary, Ayuddhaya’s troops under the lead of Pra Naresuan could counter-attack Burma and could disperse the troops of King of Chiangmai and Praya Pasim. During these wars, Pra Naresuan performed two brave acts. The first one was when Pra Naresuan was surrounded by Burmese soldiers led by Lakwai Tammoo. However, Pra Naresuan stabbed Lakwai Tammoo to death with his sword. The second act was when Pra Naresuan led his troop to the camp wall of King Nantabureng. He held a sword in his mouth and bravely climbed up the wall. Later, the sword was entitled “Pra Saeng Daab Kaab Khai”. Eventually, King Nantabureng ordered the retreat of his troops in 2130 B.E. (1587 A.D.) The events described above reflect King Naresuan’s broad vision in conducting new forms of government policy in order to prepare for military strategic change. His brave acts made Ayuddhaya become stronger, defeat its enemy, and protect its territory for a long period of time afterward.
