"The Ming army ignored Yongli's edict?" Mang Bai's face was not too surprised. The Ming Dynasty had established a new king, which obviously greatly reduced the value of Yongli. The edict to withdraw troops was just a trial. He thought deeply and said: "I feel that the generals of the Ming army should be close followers of the new emperor. If they are so tough, there must be a conspiracy."
"Your Majesty is wise." A Burmese official complimented him first, and then analyzed: "This should be a plan by the new emperor to use the help of our country to get rid of Yongli, and then he can sit on the throne without any worries."
"I think so too." Another Burmese official appeared to be very knowledgeable and spoke more clearly than his previous colleague, "China has established a new emperor, which is based on the story of the Yingzong being captured by Wa Ci. However, the new emperor will also inevitably He was worried that the 'gate seizing incident' would happen again after returning to Yongli, so he deliberately provoked our country and resorted to the tactic of killing with a borrowed knife to eliminate the threat in one fell swoop."
"Well, tell me what happened to the Yingzong and the 'Seizing the Gate Change'." Mang Bai did not hide his ignorance. After all, this is not a matter of his country. It is old history again, he doesn't know. It’s nothing.
"Yes, I just follow the king's instructions. Back then, the Tumu Fort..." Mian Chen talked eloquently, feeling happy that he had a chance to show off. I'm afraid he will be reused in the future, right?
After listening to the story, Mang Bai nodded repeatedly and said suddenly: "I see. China established a new emperor to stabilize people's hearts and not to be taken advantage of by foreign countries. But from Yongli's point of view, it looks like a conspiracy to usurp the throne. "
"It is also expedient to establish a new emperor." Mianchen continued to show off proudly. "Yongli may continue to be under house arrest when he returns home, which will not have any impact. But if Yongli has another queen, there will be another dispute over the establishment of the crown prince in the future. . Emperor Jingtai was criticized for this, and it also planted the root of the 'gate-stealing coup'."
"Haha, are we so short-sighted and stupid?" Mang Bai couldn't help but sneer. After pondering for a long time, he said: "In the long run, sending Yongli back may cause civil strife in China, which will be beneficial to our country; In the short term, killing Yongli and others was just to vent their anger, but it not only gave the Ming army an excuse to attack fiercely, but also helped the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, he fell into his trick. Hmph, huh, that's a good idea. !”
"My king is wise. He saw through his treacherous plot at a glance." Another Burmese minister hurriedly said: "I heard from the envoy that the Ming people are plotting to form an alliance with the Shan people and are collecting ships along the river. A large-scale attack is imminent. Please make an early decision. .”
Mangbai sighed softly. After several defeats, the armed forces in northern Myanmar were greatly depleted, and those tribes were ready to move again. The Shan people were the most worrying. And the border states of Mu, Manmo, and Meng The Northern Chieftain has always been wavering. One day he will surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and tomorrow he will surrender to Burma. If the move is delayed, I am afraid that the chaos will spread and the internal instability will become unstable. He killed his brother to seize the throne, and the current focus must be on solidifying the foundation. , ending this war as soon as possible is obviously the top priority.
Of course, you should keep a low profile when sending Yongli and others out, try not to appear weak, and don't let Burmese people feel resentful and dissatisfied, or let people with dissatisfaction despise the royal court of Burma. Well, you also need to let Yongli know the situation in the country, and it is best to
Pick it up and lay a small foundation for future Chinese students.
……………
As the sun rises and the clouds open, the mountains and forests far and near are covered with a layer of brilliant color, and their outlines are extremely clear. Several large boats meander on the river, and the water is clear and flat, like a landscape painting with pleasant colors.
Alas, Yongli sighed heavily and had no intention of admiring this picturesque scenery.
From being escorted onto the ship by the Burmese soldiers, to hearing the news that Burma was sending him back to China, and then receiving the notification that he had become the Supreme Emperor, Yongli's mood had been ups and downs, and now he doesn't even know what it feels like.
Empress Wang secretly glanced at Yongli, with helpless melancholy on her face. Xun Shou, in fact, abandoned the country. She could not stand up when the building was about to collapse, and she did not have the courage to die for the country. Now she has ended up like this.
Who can blame him? Yingzong was brought back, and then he was imprisoned endlessly and lived a life of fear. It can be said that the joy of returning home was gone, and only the uneasiness remained.
Although Yongli often said that the throne was boring and brought no benefits except causing trouble, and he also revealed his intention to abdicate in favor of a worthy person in his sinner's edict, when the critical moment came, Yongli would still instinctively defend it - as long as his life was not endangered.
.But now, it is no longer something he can decide.
The same mixed feelings as Yongli were Ma Jixiang, Mu Tianbo and other ministers. Once the emperor and his ministers, Zhu Yongxing could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, which shows that he has become fully fledged in the country, or that he is sure that he has a way to deal with these people who follow Yongli.
The veteran ministers around him were weighing various ideas one by one, whether to change the court, return to seclusion in the countryside, or strive for eternal life. The expressions of the ministers changed, and the atmosphere in the cabin was quiet and strange.
Mu Tianbo glanced at the Burmese envoy. He wanted to inquire about the specific situation in the country and where Jin King Li Dingguo and Gongchang King Bai Wenxuan were, but the look of gloating on this guy's face made him open and close his mouth.
.
"Even if a country cannot live without a king for a day, in terms of blood ties, Prince Min should not be the one to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!" Yongli suddenly muttered: "Isn't it enough for the imperial court to stay behind? As for the two vassals of Jin and Gong, they also agreed.
Are you going to establish a new king?"
"Hey, His Highness Jin, foreign ministers heard that he was pushed out to Sichuan; as for King Gongchang, he is now His Highness King Zhao and seems to be in Guizhou." The Burmese envoy laughed evilly and said: "It is indispensable for the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Who wouldn’t want to receive generous rewards and support?”
"Excluded?" Yongli glanced at the Burmese envoy, paying close attention to these two words, looking thoughtful.
"Sichuan, Guizhou. Where did the new emperor ascend the throne?" Wang Weihua, Marquis of Huating, was focused on other words. He frowned slightly and looked at the Burmese envoy.
"Nanjing!" the Burmese envoy answered truthfully: "At the beginning of this year. Huh, this new emperor is really unkind. He fabricated documents to extort money and land from our country. He took the opportunity to follow the Yingzong story. In fact, many Ming ministers
The general is still loyal to——" He bowed his hand to Yongli, and then said: "The emperor's."
"Nanjing!" Mu Tianbo's eyes gleamed and he asked in disbelief: "So, the Ming Dynasty has regained Jiangnan?"
The messenger blinked and nodded reluctantly. In fact, he didn't know much about the specific situation, and it seemed to be lagging behind. For example, he didn't know the latest information.
"Kenandu, pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. The king of meritorious deeds." Wang Weihua said a few words in a low voice but clearly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The king of meritorious deeds! Yongli thought for a long time and sighed heavily. He still had a sense of shame. These four words hurt him deeply, but they were irrefutable.
………………
The river breeze was blowing, making it cool and pleasant. The troops were neatly arrayed on the shore, with the muzzles of more than a dozen artillery pieces pointed at the river, waiting to welcome the arrival of the Supreme Emperor.
He Jiuyi put out the most powerful and capable troops. The helmets were bright, the clothes were neat, and the bayonets were shining. This was both a welcome and a demonstration to the Burmese. However, He Jiuyi felt a little confused about the etiquette of welcoming the Supreme Emperor.
Zheng Zhaoren, on the other hand, looked relaxed. Solving this problem can be regarded as a complete meritorious service. Not to mention this credit, even Zhu Yongxing's trust is enough to show that his future career will be magnanimous. As for Yongli, maybe others
He had such thoughts, but Zhu Yongxing didn't care. Zheng Zhaoren also thought so. Threats, are you kidding? If even Yongli can't deal with it, Zhu Yongxing should really find a piece of tofu to kill him.
"The Marquis seems a little nervous!" Zheng Zhaoren still had time to tease He Jiuyi, "Haha, with this great achievement, it is certain that the Marquis will be promoted to Duke. I would like to congratulate you in advance."
"Master Zheng is making fun of you." He Jiuyi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what etiquette I should use when meeting each other. I hope Master Zheng can teach me."
Zheng Zhaoren pondered for a moment and then said: "Long live your honor, my ministers, not only the cabinet officials who have no names, do not bow and are given seats, even those whose official ranks are not obvious, most of them do not need to kneel down. Especially for soldiers, Yu Qianlong
At that time, it was stipulated that all that was required was to pay homage and hold military salutes."
Although Zheng Zhaoren did not answer directly, He Jiuyi had already understood. Taishang Huang was an honorific title, but it was explained to the outside world. After Yingzong returned, he was like a prisoner, and even lacked food and clothing. In other words, he no longer had any etiquette for Yongli.
What matters is whether you remember the words of the new emperor Zhu Yongxing and whether you are loyal to the new emperor?
"I will escort the Emperor and the Queen. The Queen Mother will go first. The Marquis will send troops to Annan later for the rest of the officials." Seeing that He Jiuyi had understood, Zheng Zhaoren talked about the specific arrangements, "As for Myanmar, it is more appropriate to maintain the status quo at the moment. Long live the
It means that it will expand westward from Yongchang (now Baoshan) in the future, using Myitkyina as a relay base, and reach India directly. Well, it looks clearer from the map."
The area Zheng Zhaoren was talking about was the Kachin State of Myanmar at that time. At that time, it included Jiangxinpo, Hukang area, and Kandi area. It started from Chayu County in the north and ended in Jianggao Mountain in Myanmar in the south. It was not signed until 1960.
Before the China-Myanmar Boundary Treaty, it was all Chinese territory. In other words, the land route from northern Myanmar to India that Zhu Yongxing hoped to have quite favorable conditions.
He Jiuyi wanted to attack Burma, especially to gain a lot of military glory without any scruples. But he also knew that the material and personnel assistance he could get at present would be very limited. Only by supporting war can he maintain or expand it.
The results of the war. From the coalition forces' invasion of Myanmar and their looting, coupled with Zhu Yongxing's instructions, he has more or less mastered some tricks.
War is not necessarily a loss-making business that requires money, food, and military force. Zhu Yongxing is instilling a concept in the generals, that is, profit from war, and profitable war, especially foreign war. This will lay a solid foundation for future expansion.
theoretical basis and establish such a criterion.
Food, gold and silver, land, minerals... and population will all become compensation for the war. This is true for Zhenla, Nanzhang, and Burma. Even the chieftains who sent troops also learned a little, and gradually became more and more aware of the war.
He has a positive attitude towards using troops abroad. In other words, Zhu Yongxing is creating a group of bandits.
"The Mengshan Croat people in Annan and the Bai people in western Yunnan will soon come for reinforcements." He Jiuyi smiled confidently: "With the combat power of the Burmese army, there is nothing we can do to our army. If we can persuade the Shan people to rebel
, the Burmese people have no time to care about it. As for faith, haha, it’s easy to find an excuse.”
If you want war, you don't have to worry about reasons. This is for the strong. For the weak, the more cautious you are to avoid it, the more it will continue to breed the arrogance and tyranny of the strong.
"The help is certain, but the Marquis must also restrain himself." Zheng Zhaoren said euphemistically: "Like destroying temples and killing monks, it is easy to arouse the anger of the Burmese people. Well, many tribes in Yunnan Province also believe in Buddhism.
, if this spreads out, it will also have a bad impact."
"Master Zheng is right, the general has learned a lesson." He Jiuyi bowed his hand politely.
Zheng Zhaoren returned the gift and said: "The fact that the Marquis is arranged here by Wanzai shows Wanzai's trust. Now that the matter is over, Wanzai will definitely be of great use."
"The general is also looking forward to meeting Long Live!" He Jiuyi exhaled a long breath with emotion and said: "If you do the math, I'm afraid I haven't seen the holy face for a year or two."
"Soon." Zheng Zhaoren nodded and said with a smile: "If the Marquis can recommend a general to replace you, maybe you can be summoned by the Holy Emperor faster!"
He Jiuyi's eyes lit up, but he was a little worried. There were many lieutenant generals in the Ming army. They were familiar with Myanmar's situation and were well adapted to the terrain and climate here. It was really hard to find them.
"Coming soon -" A meaningful smile appeared on Zheng Zhaoren's face, looking at the signal coming from the distance.

"When I crowned my son that day, I said that my son is cowardly and cannot be the one to bring order to the throne. Now that the new emperor has been established and he has accomplished the extraordinary feat of reviving the Ming Dynasty, it is the blessing of our ancestors and the protection of heaven." Ma.
The concubine's face was solemn, and she warned the surrounding officials, "Now the new emperor has sent troops to pick us up, so that we can escape from the captivity of the Burmese and return to the country alive. This is a great kindness that we must not forget. If you stay safe,
It is a blessing; if you are dissatisfied, you will bring disaster on yourself. If anyone dares to provoke my son in the future, he will put my son in danger. I will declare to the new emperor that he will not be lenient."
After the death of Emperor Longwu in the past, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ding Kuichu, the governor Qu Shishu, Lu Daqi, Chen Zizhuang and others discussed it and believed that King Gui Zhu Youlang should inherit the throne because of his closest blood relationship, so they supported King Gui to supervise the country. However, Zhu Youlang's legitimate mother, Princess Ma, did not.
Agree, I think Zhu Youlang has no talent for governing the country, and hope that the ministers will choose talented people.
However, the ministers believed that the survival of the country was imminent, and the concubine should focus on the country and should not think too much about personal gains and losses. Moreover, Princess Yongming's name was not known, and she had a good wife and a husband who made few mistakes. The soldiers who were effective outside had good help inside, so why
Worried about the failure of the great cause of the ancestors? Concubine Ma didn't know how to respond, so she had no choice but to agree to their request.
And Empress Wang is indeed very virtuous. She comes from a wealthy family and received a good traditional Confucian education. She is usually calm and elegant, and treats others with humility. She always maintains internal affairs and handles things appropriately.
Comparatively speaking, Yongli appears to be cowardly and incompetent. He panics whenever something happens and has no true character of a man. (To be continued)
