"Your Majesty, please sit down in Kunming and watch me go to defeat the enemy. However, we have agreed that once our army wins this battle, we will send you to the three places of Limasi, Qianya Xuanfu and Longchuan Xuanfu."
Give us your country."
Facing the menacing attack of the National Defense Forces, the whole imperial court of Can Ming Dynasty was like a frightened bird.
Only Mang Kun found it unreasonable.
What's so great about the Wehrmacht?
In this land of the south, among the mountains and dense forests, the Burmese army is invincible.
You know, not long ago, they just defeated the arrogant Siam.
Who in the whole of Tiannan doesn’t know the prestige of Myanmar?
Besides, even if the National Defense Forces are really strong, they still have to fight once and decide the winner before we can talk about anything else.
Myanmar has been coveting western Yunnan for a long time, what if...
Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang and others had already started to pack their bags and prepare to run away. Since Mang Kun took the initiative to ask for a fight, of course they were happy to see it happen.
Instead of asking the Burmese army to defeat the Tatmadaw, it would be better to delay it a little and let them run further.
So the deceitful Can Mingjun and his ministers gave Mang Kun good words for free, and touted him as the best general in the world, unparalleled.
The innocent Mang Kun lost himself in the shouts of "Pretty Boy".
He swelled!
He led a 30,000-strong Burmese army and headed eastward with high spirits.
"What exactly is this Mang Kun planning to do?"
You are not afraid of your opponent being powerful or stupid, you are just afraid that your opponent will not understand.
The movements of the Burmese army confused everyone in the 10th Division.
How dare you come forward at this time?
So brave?
Cui Zhanying lay on the map, trying hard to see something.
"What's the direction of Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo?"
Chief of Staff Meng Xiangang was standing nearby.
"Still in Kunming City."
Cui Zhanying was still worried.
"Have the soldiers and horses they have secretly moved out?"
"Probably not."
"Are you sure? On the battlefield, you must not neglect it."
Meng Xiangang scratched his head a little.
"Our people are guarding the four gates of Kunming day and night. If there are really troops and horses dispatched, it is impossible to hide them from our eyes and ears."
"What the hell. How could Mang Kun dare to fight with the tatters in his hands?"
The Tenth Division studied and judged for three full days, but still could not understand Mang Kun's choice.
We had no choice but to report it to the Sixth Front Army Headquarters.
Qiao Shuangcheng also attached great importance to this situation and quickly asked Wei Luan to rush to the 10th Division in person to understand the situation.
But by the time Wei Luan arrived, there was no need to understand.
Because the 10th Division and the Burmese army were already at war.
"We were not the ones to fight. It was the Myanmar army that took the initiative to launch an attack on us."
Cui Zhanying tried his best to explain, but Weiluan didn't believe it.
"Is this the Myanmar army taking the initiative to attack?"
In the mountains outside Luliangzhou, the 10th Division had already spread out in all directions, roaring and rushing towards the Burmese army that was running wildly.
Where Wei Luan could see, the 10th Division was fighting the Burmese.
Anyway, it is impossible to see the Myanmar army showing such tenacious resistance.
Song Pengjie, the military officer of the 10th Division, couldn't laugh or cry.
"We have been careful enough and have established a solid defense line here. We want to see what Mang Kun plans to do. Who knows that after this guy arrived, he launched an attack on us without saying a word. He has already beaten us, so we have to fight back.
?But who knew this guy was so irresistible that he would end up like this."
Mang Kun and the Burmese army finally paid the price for their ignorance.
After he led his troops to Luliang, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that the National Defense Forces were mainly fortified on the plains.
"These soldiers and horses who do not know the way of military formation actually frightened the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers. In my opinion, the Central Plains Shangguohe should lose the country. Soldiers, fight well and win this battle. This time, we
Not only the three western states, but also Yunnan belongs to us."
When the Burmese decided to send troops, they certainly did not mean to help the Can Ming court with good intentions.
They have long wanted to get their hands on the prosperous Yunnan.
Although Yunnan was just a remote place in the eyes of the empire, compared with Myanmar, it was too rich.
Everyone in the 10th Division can testify that it was the Burmese who made the first move.
But when to stop, the 10th Division has the final say.
The overwhelming artillery fire and the storm of musketry shattered the Burmese people's illusions almost at the beginning of the war.
There is nothing to say next, just a headlong pursuit.
The landscape of southern Yunnan witnessed a completely asymmetrical battle, with the outcome decided in just half an hour.
But it actually ended in three days and three nights.
After all, we have to take prisoners.
Especially the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan hated the Burmese so much that they finally dared to retaliate when the Burmese fled.
The 10th Division almost snatched Burmese prisoners from the hands of the common people.
It’s impossible not to rob. Next, we will march into Myanmar. How can we do it without enough information?
These prisoners are the best guide party.
In the end, Lin Zongzong captured more than 13,000 prisoners.
Of the 30,000 Burmese troops, more than 12,000 were killed and more than 1,700 were missing. Only a handful of them hid in the mountains and escaped with their lives.
But these people no longer pose any threat, and it is not certain whether they can escape back to Myanmar.
After such a defeat, Mang Kun knew that he would be dead if he went back, so he simply jumped off a cliff, which was considered tragic.
The results of the Battle of Luliang were transmitted back to Kunming as quickly as possible, and the entire Ming court finally recognized the reality.
Emperor Yongli and others did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly fled westward.
The 10th Division continued to advance without any further resistance, and finally captured Kunming.
"This group of beasts has caused such harm to the good Yunnan."
Fu Zonglong looked at the tragic situation in his hometown, his eyes bloodshot.
"There is no need to be angry in the provincial government. All the people in Canming and Burma must pay with blood."
Cui Zhanying was furious when he looked at Kunming with corpses strewn all over the place.
Following his order, the 10th Division suddenly accelerated its advance, biting the buttocks of the Can Ming troops and driving them into Myanmar.
What happened in Yunnan quickly caused a chain reaction in Indochina.
"Since ancient times, the lower country has only followed the superior country of the Central Plains. I hate that Burma is so rampant and arrogant that it does not take the majesty of the upper country in its eyes. It kills my people and seizes my land. It is a heavy debt of blood. I sincerely ask the upper country for permission. I, Siam, are willing to do it for you.
Fight with all your might against Burma."
Seeing that Myanmar had offended its new sovereign state, Siam was the happiest.
The two sides have been at war for nearly a hundred years, and Siam is increasingly unable to support itself.
Although they went to the Ming Dynasty many times to complain, the Ming Dynasty was unable to protect itself and had no way to adjust.
Now that there is a war between the empire and Burma, Siam is overjoyed. How can they let go of this golden opportunity?
But just like what the Siamese envoy said, Siamese Russell came to be respectful to his overlord. If he could send troops, he would ask his overlord's attitude.
But it is different from Siam.
The envoy from Nanzhang Kingdom came to Kunming tremblingly and met Zuo Rong without any hesitation.
The Nanzhang Kingdom borders the Empire. In recent times, it has watched the Empire successively attack Annan and Burma, and is afraid that it will suffer as well.
