Lawaeg War (2135-2137)


Lawaeg War (2135-2137)
After the Yuttahatthi War, there was an uprising in a Mon province that was under the control of Burma. King Naresuan took this opportunity to attack La Waeg and brought back to Ayudhya Phra Srisuriyophan (the Khmer Crown Prince) and his family, together with 90,000 La Waeg people. When Phra Boromaraja, the last son of Phra Sattha who had returned to the Khmer reign with the assistance of Spain, was assassinated, King Naresuan sent Phra Stisuriyophan back to rule Khmer in 2147 B.E., thus declaring superior authority over Cambodia. In the following year, King Naresuan sent an army under the leadership of Phra Ekatosarot to take charge of the Khmer rebels who refused to pay allegiance to Phra Srisuriyophan.
It can be seen that King Naresuan was flexible in the way he used his knowledge. At war, he was able to adjust his skills suitably to different situations. This flexibility aimed primarily at achieving goals and brought about the King’s success.
