Li Chengdong is a natural soldier. It is boring to stay in Guiyang for more than a year and have nothing to do. Now I heard from the emperor that he would lead his troops to pacify Yunnan again, so I was naturally very happy.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you give me an order, Lao Li will go to Yunnan to capture Zhu Youlang!"

Zhu Hongsan was very unhappy when he heard that Li Chengdong was going to capture Zhu Youlang. Why did he do when he was arrested? I was going to die! But he couldn't say this in front of Lu Daqi. After all, when Lu Daqi surrendered, he promised him to ensure Zhu Youlang's life.

Zhu Hongsan cursed the ignorant Li Chengdong in his heart, but there was no way, so he said to Lu Daqi with a smile: "Lu Aiqing, Yunnan is located in the southwest border, and the people are brave. What are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, is Yunnan also learning from Guizhou to clarify the countryside and garrison?" Lu Daqi is not like Hou Fangyu. After cruel political struggles, Lu Daqi knew that he could not be kind to these foreign tribes, so Lu Daqi still appreciated Zhu Hongsan's strategy of clearing the countryside and garrison.

"No, Yunnan is different from Guizhou. Although there are many Yi people in Guizhou, there are also many Han people. After more than 200 years of naturalization, most Yi people still agree with my Confucian culture. However, Yunnan is different. Yunnan has a sparse population of Han people. If you use clear villages and garrisons, it will intensify ethnic conflicts. We may be the ones who are driven out at that time!"

What Zhu Hongsan said is also reasonable. Just a few years ago, the mansion of Mu, who had lived in Kunming for more than 200 years, was beaten out of Kunming by the King of Yunnan, and Mu Tianbo's wife and children died in the chaos. Therefore, Yunnan's ethnic issues cannot be suppressed, so they can only be supported. However, Zhu Hongsan has a more ruthless move, which is to use barbarians to control barbarians.

When Zhu Hongsan arrived in Guizhou, he realized that Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty was not the Yunnan he knew. In addition to including Yunnan in the later generations, Yunnan also occupied a large area of ​​Myanmar's territory. One-third of the territory in later generations was under the control of the Ming Dynasty. However, this control was not directly appointed by the central government to manage the local area, but the local chieftains submitted a letter to submit and then the central government appointed an appointment. Therefore, the northern Myanmar and the Ming Dynasty were in that kind of tribute relationship.

During the Wanli period of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Touo Dynasty in Myanmar became strong and fought and expanded everywhere, annexing most parts of Myanmar. The Mengyang Xuanwei Department, the Mubang Xuanwei Department, the Myanmar Xuanwei Department, and the Eight Hundred Xuanwei Department were successively occupied by them. The central government of the Ming Dynasty at that time ignored this and allowed it to develop. This indulgence allowed Myanmar to establish its current territory. Many of them, such as the northern Myanmar, were Nanzhao, Dali, and the Yuan Dynasty controlled territories for seven or eight hundred years, such as Myitkyina, Bamo, and Lawu, were occupied by the newly emerging Myanmar, and Laos also developed independently.

In the ninth year of Wanli, the Burmese King Mang Yinglong died, and his son Mang Yingli inherited the throne. After he inherited the throne, he was not satisfied with the territory he had seized from the Ming Dynasty and continued to expand northward with force. In the first month of the eleventh year of Wanli, the Burmese army captured Shidian (now Shidian, Yunnan), attacked Shunning (now Fengqing, Yunnan), and Zhanda (now Yingjiang, Yunnan), and entered the current border for hundreds of kilometers, with the troops heading directly to Chuxiong and Dali. He burned, killed, looted everywhere, and did everything he could do.

The Ming court quickly sent Liu Jing and Deng Zilong to lead the Ming army to resist. With the cooperation of local chieftains, the Ming army defeated the Burmese army in Panzhihua south of Yao Pass and won the Panzhihua victory. The Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue, Deng Zilong led the army to recover Wandian and Gengma. Liu Jie led the army to march straight into Longchuan and captured Myanmar Prime Minister Yue Feng. After Yue Feng surrendered, the Burmese army was about to collapse. The Ming army recovered Manmo, Meng Yang and Meng Lian, and Meng Mi chieftain also announced their support, and Awa Myanmar General Mang Zhuo also surrendered to the Ming court.

In May of the 12th year of Wanli, the Myanmar army invaded again, captured Mengmi, and surrounded Wuzhang. The Ming army led the general Gao Guochun to defeat the invasion of Myanmar. Since then, the forces of the Dongyu Dynasty in Myanmar were driven out of the Tusi area of ​​Mubang, Mengyang, Manmo and other chieftains. Yue Feng, a traitor who treasoned the country and surrendered to the capital, was escorted to the capital and executed, and the chieftains in the border areas returned to the Ming Dynasty. However, the war did not end here. Starting from the 13th year of Wanli, due to the corruption of the government, Yunnan continued to be eroded by Myanmar, and Myanmar expanded greatly to Jinghong, Ximeng, Lincang, Tengchong and other places.

The last war broke out in the 30th year of Wanli. The Ming Dynasty was unable to look south due to the outbreak of the war of aid to Korea and began to make peace with Myanmar. The two countries resumed normal relations based on the conditions of ceding the Ming Dynasty to Mengyang, Mubang and Xingwei.

Zhu Hongsan's plan was that the previous contracts were signed by you, Myanmar and Emperor Wanli. I inherited the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao, so all the previous contracts were invalid. Zhu Hongsan's decision to fight was that he did not want to negotiate with Myanmar at all, but wanted to annex Myanmar. Zhu Hongsan knew that in the later generations, China had worked hard to get rid of Malacca controlled by Britain and the United States, to get rid of Myanmar. Zhu Hongsan felt that it would be better to take advantage of the weak Myanmar now and kill him directly, so as to save the trouble later.

However, after all, the situation in Myanmar is complicated. This place is far away from the Central Plains dynasty. The Han people are not large in number. Li Chengdong's 50,000 troops are really willing but not capable enough. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan decided to use barbarians to control barbarians, which is what Zhu Hongsan is best at fighting against the masses.

Zhu Hongsan was a township cadre in his later generations. If he was the best at anything, he would definitely be taking advantage of the situation and using the masses to fight the masses. After all, there are a lot of examples there, and it is impossible not to learn it.

Zhu Hongsan knew that there was a minority in Burma in later generations, called the Rohingya and now called the Arakans. This ethnic group has a complex origin. They are descendants of Moors, Arabs, Persian merchants, Afghans, Mughals, Turks, Bengali soldiers and immigrants in the northwest border of India. From the 7th century AD, he crossed the sea from Bengal on the Indian subcontinent to Myanmar and settled in the Arakan region near the sea, which is the Rakhine State of Myanmar in later generations.

These people do not belong to the Burmese race in terms of human race, believe in Islam, and are incompatible with the Buddhism believed in Myanmar. These Rohingya people naturally had to be excluded by the locals. This situation was not changed until the British's power reached Myanmar in the 19th century. After the British came, the Rohingya people, who were bullied by Burmese, immediately became accomplices of the British and carried out genocides against the Burmese. However, the feng shui changed, and in later generations, these Rohingya people were naturally expelled from their homes by the Burmese.

Zhu Hongsan said that using barbarians to control barbarians means that these Rohingya people are now called the Arakans. Zhu Hongsan planned to use his interests to win over these people and let them fight to the death with the Burmese people. Then the Ming Dynasty was behind him, just like the British did back then. At the same time, these Rohingya people had close ties with the Bangladesh people across the sea, and could also prepare for Zhu Hongsan's Indian strategy.

"Lu Aiqing, after you arrive in Yunnan, you can contact the Arakans in Myanmar first, promise their interests, and support them in their independence and founding. At that time, we will be in the north and the south, and we will attack Myanmar together. Such a big thing will be done!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he took out all the strategies he had written about Myanmar in the past half month and handed it to Lu Daqi.

When Lu Daqi took it, he felt cold sweat. How did the emperor's heart look? It said that it supported all Burmese chieftains to establish the independence of the country, and as long as they pay tribute to the Celestial Empire, they would be recognized by the Ming Dynasty. If we follow this, Burmese wars would immediately be everywhere, and then the Ming Dynasty hid behind the chieftains to sell weapons. This cruel trick would not even be thought of even the old fried dough stick Lu Daqi.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Lu Daqi put his strategy to Myanmar, he continued: "That Alagans believe in Islam. There are many Hui generals in Li Chengdong's army, and there are also many old Hui Hui in Yunnan. You must be good at taking advantage of this!"

Li Chengdong was born in Shaanxi, and the area was a Hui gathering area. Although after years of war, the Hui people who participated in the rebel army died almost the same, Li Chengdong still had more than a dozen Hui generals under him. Although the Islamic mission has changed a lot to China, they are all of the same species and origin, so it is still easy to talk about.

Lu Daqi and Li Chengdong bowed to the order, then left to go to Yunnan. When Zhu Hongsan saw that they were about to go out, he said, "Prince Jianning, wait a moment, I have something to explain!"

Lu Daqi looked at Li Chengdong. Li Chengdong didn't know what the emperor left him for, but the emperor did not dare to refuse to obey the orders. Li Chengdong had to go back to the house again and wait for the emperor to ask questions.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Lu Daqi walking far away, he spoke: "Brother Jianning, this time, the expedition of Yunnan is thousands of miles away. It is not convenient for me to command in the rear. You can do some things by yourself!"

The emperor's words made Li Chengdong confused. Now all the grassroots platoon-level officers in the army are the emperor's confidants, so how could he dare to do whatever he wants? Is this the emperor testing himself? Li Chengdong knew that the emperor in front of him was cruel and had no fucking even if he gave birth to a son. He must be testing himself.

Li Chengdong quickly knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely ask for instructions early and report later. If you don't understand, you will definitely discuss with Governor Lu!"

Seeing that Li Chengdong didn't understand his meaning, Zhu Hongsan cursed in his heart: He is so damn he is a waste. Otherwise, why would he say that not studying for three days is worse than a donkey!

Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to chat: "Prince Jianning, if you go to Yunnan this time, if you catch Zhu Youlang, don't take it back to Nanjing. You are wasting food with high mountains and far waters. What do you know?"

Only after hearing what the emperor said did Li Chengdong know what the emperor meant. He had asked himself to kill Zhu Youlang. But Li Chengdong was not a fool, he was not the emperor's direct subordinate. It's easy to say now. If Zhu Youlang is really killed in the future, what should you do if the emperor doesn't admit it? Isn't the one who is in trouble in the end?

"Your Majesty, how much food can a person waste, I will definitely ensure the safety of King Gui!"
