Manmo's chieftain's name is Sizhe, and his wife's name is Hansong. They have been living in the cracks between the Ming court and Toungoo for many years.
In the first year of Wanli, Sizhe discovered that the Ming court had shrunk its strategy and could no longer maintain the land of three announcements and six consolations. In particular, the Yunnan authorities turned a blind eye to Yue Feng's rebellion of poisoning Duo Shining, seizing Longchuan, and conquering western Yunnan.
Asked, which gave Sizhe a great stimulus.
After careful consideration, he and his father-in-law, Hanba, the chieftain of Mubang, and Yue Feng of Longchuan, formed an alliance with Mang Yinglong, removed the golden red card of the imperial court, and raised the rebel flag. Five years ago in Wanli, these families cooperated with Taungu to gradually invade Yunnan.
The chieftain's territory outside the gate pushed his power near the border of the Ming Dynasty.
Mang Yinglong had no choice but to gather troops to attack Meng Yang this time. Last year, when he led his troops to invade, he was robbed of the food road and almost annihilated his entire army. Later, he was rescued by Yue Feng with two thousand elite soldiers, otherwise
A generation of heroes will die in Mengyang.
Although the Toungoo Dynasty established a grammar, the domestic system of prefectures and counties was still immature, and the main body of the country was still built mainly on the alliances of major chieftains. Mang Yinglong's defeat in Mengyang led to the reduction of his prestige, which intensified
In recent years, there has been a war of aggression, and there are signs of instability in the country, especially in the newly occupied territories of Laos and Siam, where large and small uprisings have occurred one after another.
Therefore, Mang Yinglong must take down Meng Yang cleanly and restore his prestige as the leader of a country. In the seventh year of Wanli in the original time and space, he completely captured Meng Yang, imprisoned Si Ge and starved to death, thereby stabilizing his position.
regime.
However, in this time and space, due to Zhu Yijun's intrusion, a butterfly effect occurred. Motivated by the governor of Yunnan's appeal, Mang Yinglong gathered troops in advance to attack Meng Yang, and happened to meet the army led by Liu Xian in Manmo.
After the two sides discovered each other, Mang Yinglong hurriedly invited his adviser Yue Feng and gathered the chiefs to discuss how to deal with the enemy.
Yue Feng was a native of Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. He went to Longchuan with his father to do business and later settled in Longchuan. At first, he was the record office of Duo Shining, the chieftain of Longchuan. Duo Shining had a weak character and delegated power to him. Yue Feng was extremely ambitious, and Yu Longqing
He poisoned Duo Shining for six years and took advantage of the conflict between Mu Bang Hanba and Duo Shining. He borrowed 5,000 troops from Hanba and raided Longchuan, killing more than 600 members of Duo Shining's family.
He occupied Longchuan and was named the leader of Longchuan by the Toungoo Dynasty.
Because Yue Feng did it cleanly, outsiders did not know the details of the Longchuan coup at first except for a few people such as Mang Yinglong and Hanba. Later, due to the slow speed of information transmission at the time and the deliberate suppression by the Yunnan governor, the court
The party never knew that Longchuan had changed its owner. Before Wang Ning was defeated and executed by Zhu Yijun, Yue Feng's crimes were revealed to heaven. This shows that even Wang Ning and others' death would not be enough to atone for their sins.
Because Yue Feng had studied in Han Dynasty and was very smart, after joining Toungu, he became the most important aide of King Mang Yinglong of Toungoo. At this time, he also led five thousand Longchuan soldiers to attack with Mang Yinglong.
Meng Yang.
After Mang Yinglong gathered all the generals, he told the scouts the size of the Ming army they were investigating, and asked everyone about the army's whereabouts.
Hanba was the chieftain of Mubang, one of the top forces in southwestern Yunnan. After Yue Feng killed Duo Shining, he took Hanba of Mubang, Daoshen, the chieftain of Menglian, and Mangyinglong's eldest son Mangyingli with him many times.
, Dakou Tengchong, Yongchang, Dali, Menghua, Shunning and other places, making a lot of money.
After many years of victory, Hanba's contempt for the Ming army has been deeply rooted in his bones. When Mang Yinglong asked him about it, he replied in Burmese: "Ni Ye Fei Ye Ni Mie (Your Majesty, Your Majesty), the Han people have nothing to fear! Previously I
When leading troops to attack them, we did not encounter a single brave man. Nangwu can testify that Wu Jixun of Menglin Village was the bravest Han Chinese we encountered. He was beheaded by the Nangwu Formation! And what did the Han court do? They were even
You are a coward who dares not avenge you!"
The Nangwu mentioned by Hanba was the eldest son of Yue Feng, who once led troops to attack Meng Lin. Wu Jixun, then the commander of the Chu Xiong Guards, died in the battle. However, Wang Ning, the governor of Yunnan who "keeps it quiet", did not raise troops to retaliate, and because Dengzhou
Chieftain Ayu and Yue Feng were brothers-in-law. After Wang Ning lost his land, he actually transferred Ayu's letter in an attempt to appease Yue Feng. If he could succeed, Longchuan, which had been replaced by chieftain, would still be under the rule of the imperial court in Wang Ning's weird brain circuit.
.
The fact that Wu Jixun was beheaded by Nang Wu was the Yue Feng tribe's greatest military exploit, and it was also the main reason why he was deeply trusted by Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli.
Although Yue Feng was very happy when Hanba mentioned this matter, he saluted and said to Mang Yinglong:
"Wu Jixun is truly the first warrior of the Han people! The Nangwu siege took only a month to defeat. Wu Jixun fought to the last man without reinforcements, and was finally killed by Wuer's formation. Menglin's soldiers only had a few hundred soldiers, while Nangwu only had six soldiers.
Thousands! Although the Han people are weak, the Ming Dynasty is a large country and there are soldiers and generals who dare to fight. At this time, large numbers of soldiers are coming forward, which is a situation that has not been seen in a hundred years. Your Majesty cannot ignore it."
These words are true in Mang Yinglong's heart. In the sixth year of Jiajing, Meng Yang and Mu Bang joined forces to attack and destroy the Ava Kingdom. The founder of the Toungoo Dynasty, Prince Mang Ruiti of Ava, was eleven years old at the time.
His parents were killed, and only his sister survived.
Mang Yinglong was the son of Mang Ruiti's wet nurse. The two were childhood playmates. Mang Yinglong married Mang Ruiti's sister and gradually gained power. After successfully stealing Donggu, Mang Yinglong conquered and plundered east and west.
At the same time, the neighboring countries expanded the territory of Toungoo, which united the hearts of the people of Toungoo. However, the former fierce man was now over sixty years old. After the failure to attack Mengyang last year, he became more conservative and cautious in using troops. Yue Feng knew his temperament well, and his advice was exactly what he had in mind.
Mang Yinglong recalled that he and Mang Ruiti followed the envoys of the Ava Kingdom to the governor's office in Yunnan and cried out, hoping that the Ming court would support the restoration of Ava.
The power is enough to destroy Mu Bang and Meng Yang.
However, such a wealthy country did not give justice to Ava at that time. In the eighth year of Jiajing, the imperial court cut off a part of the Manmo land and gave it to Mengyang;
Two groups of bandits gave up part of the Ava Kingdom, and Mang Rui Ti was able to recover. They used the abandoned land to settle territorial disputes among various states - this shows how vast and fertile the land is!
Man Mo, Man Nai, in Mang Yinglong's opinion, is an almost sacred place. There are many precious wells in it, but the Ming court abandoned them like worn-out shoes!
Because of these memories, although Mang Yinglong kept testing the bottom line of the imperial court in these years, his main force did not act as a monster in Yunnan itself. The direction of his attack was still limited to the Ming court's control area. His eldest son, Mang Yingli,
After attacking southern Yunnan, Mang Yinglong was in a cold sweat.
The encounter with the Ming army at this time was completely beyond Mang Yinglong's expectations. When he attacked Mengyang last year, he ordered Yue Feng to pretend to attack Jingdong to distract the Ming army, but he fired empty cannons completely -
-Fortunately, he had saved a hand, otherwise Yue Feng might not have been able to rescue him. But last year, the Ming Dynasty, which was desperate for life and death, sent troops out of nowhere this year. Mang Yingli couldn't figure out why?
Could it be that his insults to the governor's envoy had damaged the emperor's face? Mang Yinglong couldn't help but think so. Then I can apologize! When he listened to Yue Feng's suggestion, the first reaction in his mind was this thought.
After calming down, Mang Yinglong took over Yue Feng's words and said: "What Yue Feng said is that in the past, Luchuan was such a powerful country, but it was wiped out by the Ming Dynasty. It has been more than a hundred years! China sent troops again to conquer Taungyu.
Is it regarded as the old Luchuan?"
He said this softly, and all the generals under his command looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to answer this. Hanba curled up the corner of his mouth, his disdain evident in his words.
After hearing this, Yue Feng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so worried. I see that the Han court has been restrained for many years and has made three announcements and six consolations. It's just to save face and let us pay tribute. Yunnan soldiers have not been sent out for many years, and the soldiers will be early."
There is no intention to fight. The reason why we are sending troops forcefully at this time is probably because we are not angry that the ruler of the country has humiliated the envoys - why not send envoys to inquire and find out their true intentions by the way?"
After Hanba heard this, he couldn't bear his anger and shouted: "You are a Han slave! You want to surrender before you see the battle, you are a real Han slave!"
When Yue Feng heard his insults, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared. He bowed his head and said to Mang Yinglong: "If the king can't make a decision, why not call Diego to ask, I heard that he has compatriots living in
Ming Dynasty, you may know something about Ming Dynasty’s falsehoods.”
Diego Gonzalez Diogo, formerly known as Alfonso, was a Portuguese who followed the footsteps of Portuguese pirates from India into Myanmar and took over the Portuguese mercenaries of the Toungoo Dynasty.
During the Mangruti period, the Portuguese had already occupied Malacca and organized adventures into Southeast Asia. Diego Suarez de Melo was the leader of the first Portuguese mercenary group of the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar, and he repeatedly made military exploits. Later,
He was executed in public for seducing the wife of Minister Toungoo.
Because his predecessor Diego had made many military exploits in Myanmar, the Burmese people were face-blind to Westerners. Although Alfonso repeatedly corrected him, he was still renamed Diego by society. Later, he had no choice but to accept his fate and completely changed his name to Diego Gonzalez.
·Diogo, anyway, his mother’s and father’s surnames are not lost, his name is not important in front of gold and gems.
After being called over by Mang Yinglong, Diego heard that the Chinese army was launching a large-scale attack on Burma. Now that the two armies had met, he was so frightened that a cold wind ran down his back.
He quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have a fellow countryman named Eduardo who lives in Ma Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty. I was eight...well, I met him in Malacca seven years ago. He said Ma
He was under the rule of Guangdong Province and introduced me to the Ming Dynasty - the strength of the Ming Dynasty is beyond our reach! I heard from him that the Ming army was good at using firearms and their level was similar to ours in Portugal."
Hearing what he said, Mang Yinglong took a deep breath, and all his generals turned pale. Although the number of Portuguese mercenaries was only three hundred, their combat power far exceeded that of Mang Yinglong's elite, and their musketeers were bullied by Mang Yinglong.
When Siam and other countries were fighting, they were the main force in attacking the enemy.
If the Ming army had half the strength of the Portuguese soldiers, the tens of thousands of Ming troops would not be able to withstand the alliance of chieftains led by Mang Yinglong. Just when Mang Yinglong was about to agree with Yue Feng's proposal to send an envoy, Hanba questioned again: "If
The Ming Dynasty is really as powerful as you said. When we attacked Yunnan, we didn't see him defeat us once!"
Mang Yinglong heard what Hanba said was reasonable, and looked at Yue Feng. Yue Feng bowed and said: "The Ming Dynasty is huge, and Yunnan is a border land. How can it be compared with the Forbidden Army? We cannot simply think that the Yunnan soldiers cannot fight.
It is concluded that his forbidden troops cannot fight. The capital of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away from here. Who knows whether there are forbidden troops among these troops and what their combat strength is?"
The large country of Toungoo had cut off envoys and tributes to the Ming Dynasty for many years, and there was really no information about the Ming Dynasty's imperial army. Although the other chieftains continued to pay tribute, the furthest they had only been to Kunming, and they didn't know what the Ming Dynasty was doing. At this time,
None of them could make any suggestions. After thinking about it, Mang Yinglong finally made up his mind and said: "Send an envoy to see what's true. It's not surrender, so why not?"
Hanba wanted to say more, but Mang Yinglong looked solemn and glanced at him. Although Hanba was not angry, he could only remain silent.
Since he had adopted Yue Feng's suggestion, Mang Yinglong asked Yue Feng who could be sent as an envoy. Yue Feng thought that his eldest son Nangwu had long been Burmese, and with his tattoos, he could no longer look Han, so he suggested that Nangwu
He speaks good Chinese and is smart, so he will definitely fulfill his mission.
