From the 26th of the first lunar month to the 23rd of the second lunar month, the war ended.
Except Silun is still hiding in Meng Yangcheng - he is the strongest, and the strategy there may not necessarily work.
But after the news of Ava City spreads back, it is only a matter of time.
In fact, for nearly a month, this "blitzkrieg" only took place in a small area with a radius of more than a hundred miles.
The one that attacks further is the Mang Rui Ti.
Poor Mang Rui Ti, brave Mang Rui Ti.
Mu Shaoxun and Wu Wending saw this young man outside the south city of Ava City.
After being defeated by the Allied Forces of the Three Divisions, only a few elite soldiers fled to Toungoo. Most of the army behind him now were hastily recruited after the "bianli" returned from Kunming last year with news. In the past, they might have been farmers or hunters.
.
Their clothes, weapons, heights, and postures were in sharp contrast to the Ming army behind Wu Wending and Mu Shaoxun.
At this moment, the Three-Chen Flag of the Ming Dynasty was flying on the city of Awa, and Mang Ruiti, as King of Dongyu, was not only far apart in age, but also far apart in strength.
There was caution in his eyes, but he had to hide it.
Turning over and dismounting, he took off his helmet, turned around to stop the others from making any changes, and walked forward alone to kneel down and salute: "The Heavenly Dynasty has kept its promise and helped me return to my country. I am so grateful!"
Wu Wending couldn't help but look at Mu Shaoxun and then looked at him deeply.
This is a junior, and he is indeed the one who was invited to be canonized as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of the soldiers behind him, he is a king after all.
Wu Wending and Mu Shaoxun also dismounted. After walking forward, Wu Wending reached out to help him up: "Your Majesty, please rise. The Ming Dynasty sent troops to uphold justice. Now that the king's army has arrived, the generals in the city have tied up the thieves and opened the city.
Please surrender, so I first sent generals into the city to calm people's hearts. Now that the scholars have arrived, let's lead the personal guards into the city first. After waiting in the car for the arrival of Si Xuanwei's envoy, we made a new agreement. Your Majesty's canonization decree has arrived. The king
The teacher will return to the north."
Mang Ruiti was a little surprised and a little surprised, but he still opened his mouth to test: "Now that I have returned to the old place, and the defense capabilities of the cities are not enough, I still have to ask the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to do the work for Ava City. In terms of food and salary, I should worship it myself...
…”
"Your Majesty, there is no need to believe it. I have said that the Ming Dynasty sent troops only to uphold justice and make a new treaty. It had no intention of occupying Burma. Now that the people in the city are waiting eagerly, I'd better enter the city first."
Mang Ruiti looked at the Ming army in front and the city gate opening they had guarded on both sides. He nodded after not thinking for a long time: "I will obey your order and lead one hundred personal guards into the city."
"One hundred is a little less, let's say five hundred." Wu Wending's words surprised Mang Ruiti.
"...God's grace is so great, I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude."
Wu Wending only smiled slightly.
Outer Yunnan is much more difficult to govern than inner Yunnan. In His Majesty's words, the image of Ming Dynasty in the minds of the people in outer Yunnan is more important.
In this battle, it is more important to achieve actual benefits later on.
The report was to be delivered to the capital, and the decree to enshrine Mang Rui Ti had come a long time ago. However, the new leaders of Mubang and Mengyang divisions wanted to see who was more obedient based on the direction of the war.
In the city of Ava, Ji Weimin repeatedly restrained his generals.
"When I received the order in Sichuan, His Majesty made it clear that whether I committed any crime with the people after entering the city after performing meritorious service will determine whether I can be granted a title of marquis when I report my meritorious service!" Ji Weimin gritted his teeth, "Don't go looking for fun just because you don't have to fight now.
Do something that should be reported to the people sent by the General Military Discipline Department! Even if it costs a little money! The reward will not be small, I just want to be made a marquis, and I will not deduct you!"
"The general is joking, low-level officials dare not..."
"It's time to start talking ugly, even if it costs a little money!"
How many years has it been since the Ming Dynasty's generals really attacked the city where foreigners "did not submit to the king's rule", even though this place was also nominally under the control of the Ming Dynasty?
However, the emperor clearly reminded him in his decree, and Ji Weimin did not dare to make any mistakes.
Your Majesty obviously has big plans for foreign affairs in Yunnan and cannot allow the Ming generals to be ruined.
Ji Weimin's mission has been completed. His next mission is to restrain his generals from getting carried away and robbing women and looting property in the city of Ava.
For this reason, he was worried and could only patrol over and over again, muttering to his Marquis wherever he went.
This behavior of the Ming army fell into the eyes of Mang Ruiti, which only made him feel heavier.
This kind of Da Ming made him feel even more terrifying.
After entering the city, we still have to wait for Meng Yang to end the chaos and for Siren himself and his blood relatives to be sent. We have to wait for the arrival of the envoys from Babai Dadian and Laos or their envoys in the car.
And Mang Ruiti himself has accepted the decree. Now, he has officially received the canonization of the Ming Dynasty Burma Xuanwei Division Xuanwei Envoy, official uniform, gold-lettered red medal, etc.
This is a good thing, but it also limits his future: The Emperor of Heaven reiterated his request to him. After this agreement and demarcation, no one is allowed to invade other people's land. As a co-owner, as long as anyone breaks the rules,
, Ming Dynasty will stand up and uphold justice again.
Therefore, Mang Rui Ti, who has greater ambitions, feels terrible about the Ming army and Ming Dynasty he sees now - they are trusting and making the other divisions both fearful and dependent on them if anything happens in the future.
If this is just a rule, what else is there to discuss?
…
Laos is not involved in this dispute, they are the farthest away.
When the news reached Nanzhang, Lieutenant Xuan of Laos was shocked.
"So quickly, you captured the city of Ava and captured the sons of Sizhen, Hanlie and Silun?"
"What should I do? Should I go or not?"
Facing his brother's question, Dao Lanzhang was still in a daze.
"...It's natural to go. You go." Dao Lanzhang said, "First listen to what you have to say."
"Brother, I want you to go in person, and I said it is closely related to the interests of Laos." His younger brother was a little reluctant, "Even if I can't go, it would be more appropriate for Xigan to go than for me to go, right?"
"He..." Dao Lanzhang was naturally worried about his son's safety.
Dao Lanzhang was terrified that Ming Dynasty defeated the three divisions who attacked Ava City so simply.
After spending a lot of time in these mountains, he finally sent his son Daoxigan there.
Even if something happens to his son, at least it's not to him. Anyway, he has more than one son.
After being separated by many mountains and rivers, he couldn't figure out what Ming's attitude was.
The situation in Outer Yunnan, blocked by mountains and rivers, seemed to have undergone huge changes in an instant, and Wang Zhi had been exploring the mountains to the west of Qinghua for a long time.
After Tan Yuancai was "accidentally lost", it took Wang Zhi a long time to accidentally find them again, exhausted and in ragged clothes.
"Thankfully I met them, otherwise my life would have been lost here. Master Wang, have you found the spiritual tree?"
"It seems that there are endless wars here, the aura of heaven and earth has changed, and the spiritual tree is no longer as long as this." Wang Zhi laid out the chart, "There are a few other spiritual objects, I think the master can be of use. I refined the elixir and presented it to you.
Your Majesty, this is also a great achievement."
"...Still can't find it? What kind of spiritual thing is it?"
Wang Zhi talked about a few things that he had gotten from the guide during this period, which were probably only produced in this area, and they exchanged words.
In short, it is called a trade route. As long as the news is brought and there is an excuse to make purchases in the future, the mission is completed.
Now, he was eager to go back with Tan Yuancai and try to borrow two or three warships from them for the next step.
The group of people traveled through mountains and rivers and returned to Qinghua City before hearing the news.
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to spread the word, how could it not spread to Jiaozhi?
Wang Shi respected the orthodoxy and helped the Burmese regain their country. Within ten months, they defeated the coalition forces of the three divisions that usurped the Ava Dynasty, and captured the three tribes' blood relatives, the leaders of the three divisions.
They left Qinghua City under the vigilant and fearful eyes of Qinghua Civil and Military Officers. Wang Zhi on the boat was a little confused: "Isn't this a beating on Mo Dengyong? If our whereabouts are reported, we can secretly fight with Ailao later.
Border trade?”
"You and I don't have to worry about this. Jiaozhi is different from the other Yunnan provinces. The people there are conferred the title of Xuanwei Envoy and Xuanfu Envoy. The one conferred in Jiaozhi is the king, so we can't generalize." Tan Yuancai smiled and said, "Now
It depends on which side, Mo Dengyong or Ruan Gan, offers more to His Majesty. The Ming Dynasty will naturally wait and see what happens and see who the people of Cochin are."
"...Your Majesty is truly...sage."
Wang Zhi wanted to say that the emperor was playing dirty tricks.
Mo Dengyong killed all the members of the Li Dynasty clan. This was a blood feud. Since he could no longer win the hearts of the people of Jiaozhi by appointing officials and making wishes, he had to expend food and military forces as quickly as possible to exterminate the rebels under the watchful eye of the Ming Dynasty, in order to "return to the destiny of the people"
”.
But Ming Dynasty was thinking of ways to support Ruan Gan.
The higher-ups are constantly fighting for power, and the people are naturally suffering. Maybe if they fight, they will ask the Celestial Empire to quell the war and restore peace.
Is it important that a teacher has a reputation and is a righteous teacher?
After returning to Cat Ba Island, Peng Yue simply said to Wang Zhi: "Don't even think about lending you a warship, but His Majesty has a decree. You wait here. I will send you an errand later."
"Ah? Your Majesty has a decree... for me?"
Wang was stunned.
Peng Yue also looked at him with complicated emotions, and then smiled very kindly: "His Majesty personally ordered the name of shopkeeper Wang."
"...Eunuch Peng, do you know what is going on?"
Peng Yue shook his head repeatedly: "Shopkeeper Wang, just wait here, someone will come looking for you. Congratulations to Shopkeeper Wang, Jane is in the emperor's heart."
Wang Zhi thought about it, and I'm afraid it wasn't because he sacrificed his life for the sea trade company on this trip, but maybe he wanted to use the warship to pretend to be a pirate attack on Thanh Hoa.
Could it be that His Majesty's heart is so dirty, and the British... heroes have the same views?
The sea breeze is blowing in April, and some of the foreign ministers in Yunnan have sent their envoys personally, some have sent their heirs, and the negotiations in Ava City are finally about to begin.
The place of discussion was the original palace of the Ava Dynasty, but now it is naturally the palace of the Toungu Dynasty.
The first item is that Gao Shangxian who came to Ava City from Kunming read out the canonization decree for Meng Yang and Mubang Er Xuanwei.
There is no Meng Mi.
"Do you all understand?" Wu Wending said with a smile, "Cao Qianhu was burned and killed, and the Ming Dynasty's generals were killed. Although Silun and Hanlie were involved in the matter, it was Sizhen and his generals who did it.
. Meng Mi was so bold that in addition to the pacification department, he established Meng Mi's mansion, and then selected good and obedient ministers to appoint chieftains to govern their own people."
Mang Ruiti understood and remained silent.
The new Mubang Xuanwei envoy immediately praised the good deeds: "Meng Mi rebelled against Mubang in the past and has always been disloyal!"
Wu Wending nodded: "The Mengmi Mansion was not established to occupy the chieftain's land. It's just that the people outside Yunnan are also subjects of the Ming Dynasty. For many years, various divisions have been fighting endlessly, so why should the people deserve it? In the past, the Luchuan Rebellion was put down, and the old rule was established
Silun and the others did not abide by the agreement. After the Mengmi Mansion was established, the Ming Dynasty would set up a Weiyuan camp here."
His eyes became stern: "We have made a new covenant, and if anyone fails to protect the land and the people, or obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be punished!"
After a few words of fear, the hall became extremely quiet.
Only then did Wu Wending laugh: "After setting up Mengmi Mansion, we will also open a border market in Mengmi Mansion to see if there is any transportation. The Ming Dynasty still doesn't care how your tribes are governed. They only set up propaganda envoys to take care of it.
City trade matters.”
"Opening a border market?" Mang Ruiti felt something bad in his heart, "I would like to hear the details."
"It is also of great benefit to you. Ming Dynasty ironware, farm tools, cloth, tea salt and other good things, you have a lot of food, gems, wood..."
Wu Wending began to introduce Daming's border market rules, and the purchase price given was indeed fair. At the same time, what Daming was willing to sell did have what they needed.
"There will be no tribute from now on, it will all be trade." Wu Wending paused and said, "Tribute is still required, otherwise why would I be a minister? It's just that Your Majesty has been kind enough to cut the arrears from the past years and the tribute in the future to half. I don't know what this means.
Are you willing to follow the rules?"
We don’t want to comply, otherwise why would we not pay in arrears before?
But the city of Ava was still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and their cannons were thick and long.
"If you don't want to comply, that's okay." Wu Wending added, "In that case, you won't be protected by the Ming Dynasty. If there is an invasion of the Ming Dynasty's territory, the Weiyuan camp can ask them to help them conquer it. The tribute will be cut in half.
, God’s grace is so great. If the Ming Dynasty does not regard you as its ministers, how can Master Wang not do anything wrong in the autumn?"
The two new lieutenants, Meng Yang and Mu Bang, fearfully expressed their willingness to comply - just now, they all saw the expectant eyes of the man.
Wu Wending looked at them and said quietly: "Meng Yang, the Second Division of Mubang should be punished for usurping Burma this time. In the car, the Second Division of Eight Hundred Dadian has made great contributions to the dispatch of troops from the Ming Dynasty by the Dian divisions.
There should also be rewards. Today, we have to draw the line again. If there are any disputes in the future, the same will happen to those who started the fight and those who made meritorious deeds!"
The next step is to complete the previous strategic purpose: the good land east of Gangao Mountain and west of Jinsha River that originally belonged to Mengyang was allocated to some chieftains such as Manmo who sent troops to Inner Yunnan, while Mubang's land north of Awa River
The land, some land in the east and south, were allocated to the car, eight hundred days.
Dao Xigan was furious. Although Laos sent troops, it was of no use. Do they want an enclave?
However, Mang Ruiti's heart became increasingly heavy - Babai Dadian and the car were both stronger. Even if he wanted to use any tricks to expand Myanmar's territory in the future, he would have to be wary of the Weiyuan Camp located in Mengmi Prefecture in the north of Myanmar.
In less than a month, the Ming army captured the city of Ava from the northernmost part of Mengmi.
Mang Ruiti soon returned to his country, but he also became one of the people guarded by the Ming Dynasty.
Diwu La and Da Gu La, who sent people from the south and belonged to the Bago dynasty, felt a lot more at ease. After all, the risklessness and potential shown by Taungu during the northern attack made them worried.
They received no benefit, but had to pay something: owed tribute and future tribute.
But if they don’t give it, what will happen if the Ming Dynasty helps Upper Burma destroy Lower Burma?
"This battle is not only to help Burma regain its orthodoxy, but also to punish Mengyang, Mubang, and Mengmi. The soldiers went out to fight, and the divisions assisted in boxing. The Ming Dynasty provided half of the money and food, and the three divisions of Mengyang, Mubang, and Myanmar contributed the other half. Can there be any
objection?"
These three families are silent, how much should they pay? If you count it, it will not be less than the debts accumulated by the other half who were cut off in previous years, right?
It was Mang Ruiti who said first: "I made a promise before, so I should shoulder the responsibility."
Although the other two families were deprived of their territory, they felt bitter, but without this incident, Meng Yang and Mubang would not have been able to enjoy the benefits.
However, it was a bit painful for them that Silun and Hanlie's family fortune had become theirs.
Others are suffering more, but they can still share some food and salary in the car. The eight hundred days and so on will naturally laugh.
After taking the naka, Wu Wending smiled again: "Now that we have made a new covenant, not only Mengmi, but also Lin'an Prefecture will open a border market. In addition, His Majesty's grace has invited famous teachers to set up primary schools, middle schools, and universities in Kunming.
You can go and study. How to govern the environment and bring peace to the people? As a dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, there is still a lot of knowledge worth learning. This is also to help you..."
The establishment of the New Covenant presided over by the Ming Dynasty was definitely not a good thing for the foreign affairs in Yunnan.
They just want to continue as before, nominally obeying the Ming Dynasty, but in fact the Ming Dynasty will leave them alone.
But now because of the fall of the Ava Dynasty, the balance of outer Yunnan has been broken. After the First World War, Meng Yang, the new leader of Mu State, conquered people's hearts and guarded against Burma.
Burma. But Bago breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Mang Ruiti, who rushed to them and then walked away, was really a person with unlimited potential in the future.
As for the car, Babaidaidian, Laos, although they have to implement the tribute from now on, they have also taken advantage of this time, especially Lin'an Prefecture in the east also has to open a border market, so it will be more convenient for them.
You can buy good things from the Ming Dynasty. Southern Yunnan is rich in products, and the purchase price from the Ming Dynasty is quite reasonable.
After all things have been discussed, it is natural to draw up a document, stamp it with a big seal, and then have a good time over wine.
In the middle of the banquet, Phraya Gesethara, the commander of the Eight Hundred Dadian, said respectfully: "Dear Governor Wu, in the past ten years or so, Ayutthaya in the south has been attacking our Lanna. No.
Do you know if the Celestial Empire can appoint an ambassador as soon as possible and bring 300 elite soldiers to Chiang Mai City? In addition, the minister’s grandmother, the Queen Mother of Lanna, asked the minister to report to the Ming Dynasty envoy. Wang Mei’s heart is full of the Ming Dynasty.
His majesty, the emperor, is so heroic and brave. I wonder if he is lucky enough to serve in the palace?"
Wu Wending and others were stunned.
What is the current situation in Babaidadian?
Mang Ruiti then lowered his head, and his back teeth were almost broken: he must have been in danger of destruction, so he did this.
That was originally a place that could be captured in the future!
"The Queen Mother?" Wu Wending asked Mu Shaoxun.
Even Mu Shaoxun was a little embarrassed: "In the past, it was indeed the country of Eight Hundred Daughters, but over the years, it has been renamed Eight Hundred Dadian."
After saying that, he asked Phrayag Sethara: "If my father-in-law remembers correctly, your lineage is called Lanna, right? It has been called Babai Dadian for many years. Is the Lanna lineage still there in the past?"
Wu Wending was a little dizzy: Wasn't it about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
"Reports to the Duke have never been interrupted. It's just that Lanna is weak. Fortunately, thanks to the Ming Dynasty's canonization, he was able to seek peace."
"...If this is the case, why do you still owe tribute and not ask the Ming Dynasty for help?" Wu Wending asked.
Phyag Setara hesitated, just complained about poverty and said that he was unable to bear the heavy burden, and even asked for forgiveness for the debt this time and other things, boasted about the beauty of his sister, and looked forward to the curtain of the Ming Dynasty.
When it came to this kind of thing, Wu Wending hesitated for a moment. Seeing that there seemed to be something going on, the other ministers immediately cried out in distress and were willing to offer their daughters to the Ming Emperor to pay off their debts.
"... Ridiculous!" Wu Wending said with a straight face, "This governor... will first inform your majesty. It is the right thing to pay tribute to a minister, how can it be like this? Is your majesty willing to let Naer wait for the daughters of each department to show his affection?
Righteousness, that only makes you feel at ease in the future. The debts accumulated in the past cannot be dealt with one by one!"
Just kidding, Your Majesty promised to make money in this battle!
It was only after the banquet was over that he asked Mu Shaoxun: "What is the Kingdom of Eight Hundred Daughters? Why is the name so weird?"
"...I also heard jokes passed down from my ancestors, saying that they were not civilized many years ago, and women have always made the decisions in the clan. Is this still the case now, or is it because the envoys only conferred titles on men, then I don't know
.The Ming Dynasty will not take care of matters outside Yunnan for a long time."
"...It must be different, right?" Wu Wending found it a bit hard to imagine. Could it be that in such a large country, women have always made the decisions?
They really don't know that the northern part of Thailand occupied by Lanna has stayed in the matrilineal clan for a long time, so it is called the country of eight hundred daughters-in-law by the outside world.
But that was also a long time ago. Many villages of matrilineal clans were united together and got this title. The Lanna Dynasty was a feudal dynasty established after unifying northern Thailand. It had a king. Lanna
, which means millions of rice fields.
It can only be said that from then on, the Central Plains dynasty did not care about their history or anything, and Outer Yunnan had no intention of governing it well. As long as they submitted in name and did not cause trouble, that would be enough.
Wu Wending cannot make the decision now because of the request made by Babai Dadian. After all, he mentioned the invasion of Babai Dadian by the Ayutthaya Dynasty of Siam in the south, which did not belong to the Ming Dynasty. Will this change anything in His Majesty's southwest plan?
It's hard to say for Wu Wen.
Not only did he want to present his sister, but he also wanted the Ming Dynasty's envoy to bring 300 elite guards to stand up for him. It seemed that he was already in danger.
On the second day, Wu Wending summoned Na Phyag Setara alone and asked him to tell the truth.
In the past, maybe I felt that the Ming Dynasty could not be counted on, or maybe the situation was not critical yet, so Babai Dadian never had this idea.
But now... after Phyagsethara's statement, Wu Wending finally understood why.
In a sentence: Since more than 40 years ago, there has been a struggle for the throne in Lanna, and there has been a mutual attack with Ayutthaya outside.
Nowadays, Phyag Sethara can still maintain his position only because of the support of his grandmother. However, his grandmother is already old and will die at some point. There are also more than one powerful minister in the family who is eyeing the throne.
, three factions of powerful ministers stand side by side.
He was moved by the Ming Dynasty's attitude of calling the shots for orthodoxy. The Ming Dynasty's military power probably made the powerful ministers dare not move.
Wu Wending was a little emotional: I didn't expect that this battle would really establish the actual status of the leader of the Yunnan Communist Party.
Lanna has been in chaos for decades, why didn't we ask Ming Dynasty to help us before?
For no other reason than the Ming Dynasty was in chaos before.
"I will inform Your Majesty first. In addition, I will also send someone to go there first to clarify the real situation."
"Thank you very much, my dear minister!"
Then the noble and sage became numb: Why is it me again?
"... Dutai, what should I do if the three powerful ministers he mentioned are really taking risks?"
"What are the three powerful ministers? Since they are Xuanweisi of the Ming Dynasty, they are just his retainers, and you are bigger than him! Besides, how dare you do this, Master Wang hasn't left yet." Wu Wending rolled his eyes, "Besides...his...
How about Sister Wang, you naturally want to take a look first."
"..."
Wu Wending was also unsure.
Didn’t His Majesty want that Duoyan Trilogy Daughter?
Since there are precedents, we can't say for sure.
"What do you think, the official?" He was actually more worried about safety.
"Please ask General Qu to bring someone to accompany you. Are you relieved now? Now that the new treaty has been agreed, all the ministers will also send envoys to go with you." Wu Wending saw through him at a glance, "I heard that guy spent a lot of time with you.
I got some money and took a new concubine."
"..."
Gao Shangxian let out a long sigh: This business trip can be made in time to return to Kunming to see off his son and go to the capital to try out next year?
