Chapter 163 The Situation in Myanmar and Buying Weapons
At this time, Myanmar was in the period of resuming the Tohō dynasty. At the end of the 13th century AD, the once glorious Bagan dynasty in Myanmar was destroyed, and then Myanmar entered a period of great division. The Shan ruling land was formed in northern Myanmar with Awa City (near Mandalay) as
The Ava dynasty was in the center, while the Baigu dynasty was formed in the south, which was ruled by the Meng tribe with Baigu (now Bogu) as the center.
From 6 to 1425, the two countries continued to conflict, known in history as the "Forty Years' War". In addition to these two major countries, there are also countries such as Dongyu, Mubang, Mengyang, Mengmi, and Aragan, among which
Especially the Burmese land of Dongshuo is the strongest.
After the Shan people ruled Awa, the Burmese people could not bear their oppression and moved to Dongyu. During the Forty Years' War, Dongyu stayed away from the war zone and was not destroyed by the war, and became a refuge for the Burmese people to escape war and famine, so the population continued to increase.
.So, they launched fierce resistance on the land of Myanmar. Similarly, Meng Yang and Mubang in the north also developed their own power when Awa participated in the Myanmar civil war and their strength was weakened. A greater change was about to be on the land of Myanmar.
occur.
In 1527, Silun, the son of the lord of Mengyang, joined forces with the lord of Mubang, Hanlie, and Mengmi, to capture Awa City, killed Awa Wang Mang Jisui (Ruinan Qiao Xin) and his wife and children, and established his clan.
Bu Xin was the king of Awa, and the three kingdoms occupied Awa's land.
In 1531, Mang Ruiti (Myanmar name Delin Ruiti) succeeded to the throne in Dongyu. Since then, the most powerful dynasty in Myanmar history has been founded, known in history as the Dongyu Dynasty. Mang Ruiti's father Ming Jiyu married Ah.
King Wa's daughter engages in a political marriage, thus obtaining Kyaukxi's "granary" as a dowry, promoting the development of agriculture; and forming an alliance with the powerful Baigu Dynasty to restrain the invasion of the Ava Dynasty.
Just when the Ava Dynasty and the Baigu Dynasty were in conflict with each other and both sides suffered losses, Dongxu was raising his energy and gathering strength. Before being crowned, Mang Ruiti must participate in the ritual of the ritual and the ritual of the church. In order to show his reputation, Mang Ruiti
Ruiti is determined to hold a ceremony in the Rimutao Pagoda, the four major holy places in Myanmar.
This pagoda is located on the edge of the capital of the Baigu Dynasty, the overlord of Myanmar. The Mangruiti selected 500 elite cavalrymen, took the lead, took the lead in the darkness and entered the enemy's territory. It arrived at Ruimutao at sunrise.
The Meng people in the city thought these cavalry were the vanguards of an invading army. They hurriedly closed the city gate and guarded the city, losing their precious time. When they learned that there were only 500 Burmese soldiers in the Ruimutao Pagoda, they immediately rushed.
Outside the city, surrounded this temple.
At this time, the ear-piercing ceremony was about to end, and the astrologers in the palace were piercing the ears for Mangrui. The sentry urgently reported the time, but Mangrui said calmly: "Put the ear holes well. My ears are more important than the Meng people." As soon as the ceremony ended, the ceremony ended.
.Mang Ruiti immediately led the cavalry out of the Meng army's encirclement. None of the Meng army dared to intercept it.
When Mang Ruiti returned victoriously, his heroic deeds spread throughout the country. The Burmese people were excited, while the Shan people and the Meng people were frightened. This special ceremony of observing the ears greatly boosted the reputation of the young Mang Ruiti and the Dongzhao Dynasty.
After that, Mang Ruiti first developed to the south, and fought a war with the Kingdom of Terantai in northern Thailand (called Babai Xuanweisi in the Ming Dynasty), and seized part of its territory. He forced Lan Natai to surrender to it, and took advantage of the situation.
There was an internal strife in the Baigu Dynasty in the south, and the Baigu royal brothers fought for the moment, and Mang Rui waited for an opportunity to reconcile.
A large amount of land was obtained by both parties to ceded. However, Mangrui Titan was not satisfied. In the end, both brothers of the Baigu Dynasty were defeated by Mangrui Titan one after another, and Mangrui Titan completed the unification of southern Myanmar.
After controlling southern Myanmar, Mangruiti turned his sight to the north. In order to enhance his strength, Mangruiti implemented a policy of uniting the Meng tribe, making the Meng tribe soldiers use it, and employed Portuguese soldiers with modern weapons and warships seven.
A hundred people, just as the power of Mang Rui's body was at its peak, in 1544, King Awa Kang Meng joined forces with Xibo, Manmo, Meng Yang, Meng Mi, Meng Nai, and Yang Hui formed a huge army of seven countries (Tashi) and tried to seize them.
Humiliation.
Mang Ruiti sent his wet nurse son Mang Yinglong to fight. Mang Yinglong commanded Gao Chao and easily defeated the powerful Seven-Nation Alliance and won the victory known as the "Seven-Nation War". After the year of the year, Mang Ruiti used the Meng tribe and the Burmese tribe.
The two rituals held a coronation ceremony in the city of Bemuk, calling itself the king of Upper and Lower Burma, marking the peak of Mang Ruiti's career.
At the end of 1548, Mang Ruiti asked Kui Luo (Thailand) to pay a tribute to a white elephant, but was rejected. He led more than 300,000 troops to invade Kui Luo from the three towers, thus opening up the protracted Thai-Myanmar, which did not end until the beginning of the 19th century.
The prelude to the war, the army of Mangruiti quickly surrounded Ayutoya, the capital of the Raya. Although there were 400 Portuguese mercenaries in Mangruiti, the Portuguese standing on the side of the Raya in Ayutoya were even more
After reaching 1,000 people, Mang Ruiti decided to retreat in an orderly manner.
Shortly after Cheng Luo retreated, Mang Ruiti entered his old age. He was immersed in drinking and hunting, completely losing the domineering spirit he had in the past for nearly 20 years. Three years later, Bai, who was assassinated by Mang Ruiti, was destroyed by Mang Ruiti three years later.
The ancient dynasty was restored.
After Mangruiti was assassinated, the Dongyu Dynasty was divided into pieces. Mangruiti's successor Mang Yinglong only had a disciplined army, but he did not control a fortress. The powerful Dongyu Dynasty was about to be destroyed if he accidentally did not.
Mang Yinglong led his army and united the Burmese people again within two years. Four years later, the Baigu Dynasty that was restored was destroyed, and the Dongyu Dynasty restored its prosperous period.
After that, Mang Yinglong fought in the east and west, and repeatedly provoked the Ming Dynasty court at that time. He tried to invade the mainland of the Ming Dynasty several times, but he failed. In 1581, Mang Yinglong died.
In the late reign of Mang Yinglong, Myanmar's territory was unprecedentedly vast. It went to Lincheng (i.e. Vientiane) in Laos in the east, to Manipur in India in the west, to the Indian Ocean coast in the south, to the nine Shan lands on the current Sino-Myanmar border.
The state occupied most of the Indochina Peninsula, expelled all the Ming Dynasty's power in Northern Myanmar, and achieved the strongest period in Myanmar's history.
After Mang Yinglong's death, his son Mang Yingli succeeded to the throne. In the winter of 1582, Mang Yingli was persuaded by Yue Feng, a traitor who defected from Yunnan, and encouraged him to invade the Ming Dynasty and complete the great achievements that his father had not accomplished. So Mang Yingli sent him to
The soldiers fought hundreds of thousands of elephants, and sent troops to attack Yunnan from multiple directions.
The Ming Dynasty had just woken up and began to mobilize generals and troops from all over the world to fight the Burmese army. At that time, the Duke of Qian State Mu Changzuo led his troops to move to Erhai Lake, and the governor of Yunnan Liu Shizeng also led his troops to move to Chuxiong, quickly recruiting Han people and local garrison troops.
Tens of thousands of battles against the Burmese army and achieved a comprehensive victory.
In 1583, generals such as the Ming army general Liu Jing and Deng Zilong led their troops from Longchuan and Mengmi to attack Awa City. The Burmese general Meng Shao surrendered to the Ming army, Meng Shao was Mang Yingli's uncle. It turned out that he was guarding.
All Burmese generals in Longchuan, Mengyang, Manmo and other places retreated, and Yue Feng and his son were later executed.
Mang Yingli encountered a major setback in the war against the Ming Dynasty, and then there were signs of instability inside. His uncle, Mengshao, expanded his ambitions and tried to collude with the two princes, Beimuhou, and Dongshuhou launched the campaign.
The rebellion was to seize the throne of Mangyingli. After receiving the news, Mangyingli easily crushed this turmoil. After the failure of Mengshao, he also died in exile in the Ming Dynasty.
But Mang Yingli did not learn a lesson and began his career of war every year, launching the second, third, and until the fifth advance to the north, they were defeated by the Ming army and all vassal states.
After years of failure in wars, the Tou dynasty had lost its glory, and Mangyingli did not launch any wars outside. He could only protect himself in the capital. Beimue, Awa, Chiang Mai and other places successively declared independence. In 1599, Mangying
The guards of Li also abandoned the poor king, and Mangyingli was killed by his cousin Dongshuhou.
Mang Yingli's decline did not ultimately destroy the Dongyu Dynasty. Mang Yinglong's youngest son, King Liangyuan (reigned from 1600-1605), saved this decline, occupied the "granary" area centered on Awa, and saved Shang.
Half of the rivers and mountains in Myanmar are known in history as the Liangyuan period.
Anabilon (reigned from 1605 to 1628), who succeeded his throne, regained all the lost lands in Myanmar, and regained Shahlian, who was occupied by the Portuguese in three years, expelled the Portuguese from Myanmar, thus completing the unification of Myanmar again.
.
After Anabilon, the Burmese king of Myanmar, was in power for Talon. When Anatalone was in power, he abandoned the war of expatriation that was exhausted and damaged the people, resumed the tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and devoted himself to the recovery and development of the domestic economy, allocated land to landless.
In the 38th year of the farmer, he also conducted a national census and compiled surveys and statistics on household registration, cultivated land area, output and tax status in various places as the basis for taxation and labor remittance.
His long efforts made the Dongyu Dynasty become rich and strong again. However, after King Gui led the remnant Ming forces and the Qing army into Myanmar, the country that Myanmar was suddenly defeated by the two armies.
This time, two and a half armies went south to attack South Asia, and the attack on Myanmar alone entered a 200,000 army. Huang Ziya had different opinions from Zhang Huahan on the issue of whether to negotiate.
"The Myanmar envoy Ping Dali is the son of the King of Burma and the eldest prince of Burma. He is quite sincere. They are willing to let us be the sect leader." Huang Ziya said to Zhang Huahan.
"Chairman Huang, it is no longer necessary for Myanmar to be our vassal state. We are now going to completely occupy there, let the residents of the country and the scholars of Hainan Island immigrate and assimilate there, and let the indigenous people there come to our Central Plains to live,
That land is completely belonged to the territory of our Chinese Empire, so there is no need to spend more time before they completely surrender. If you want to contact them, I will not force you, but my army can only follow me
The strategic intention to fight is just part of the grand blueprint of our Chinese Empire." Zhang Huahan said seriously.
For the sake of the country, Zhang Huahan can be a person with deep debt, but no one should touch his bottom line. He does not have a nominal vassal state. As long as the country is, he will realize that the country of the Chinese nation becomes the largest territorial country in the world. This one,
No one can stop him, including Huang Ziya, even turning against him.
Seeing that Zhang Huahan was firm in his attitude, Huang Ziya had no choice. To be honest, there was nothing he could do. He could not command the army. Although three of the commanders of the six army groups supported him in name, they also did not support him during the election.
He voted, but once he had an order conflict with Zhang Huahan, all the commanders of the army, including Shi Lang, did not listen to his orders. All the commanders of the military followed Zhang Huahan's orders. The generals close to Huang Ziya were below the commander of the army.
Yes, even if you are the deputy commander or army commander, you are restricted and unable to obey him. "Okay, according to your wishes." Huang Ziya said.
"Now, let's talk about the situation where Japanese daimyos and some vassals want to buy firearms." Foreign Minister Jiang Yun spoke, and he continued: "Given the sharp firearms of the Tokugawa family, seventeen forces came here to buy a batch this time.
Firearms, seventeen forces include the Kawauchi family, Yamauchi Tadaeyoshi, Maori family, Shimazu Kokuha, Satake Yoshitaka, Tamura family and other daimyos sent people to buy our weapons. One reason is that our weapons are advanced,
Another reason is that we defeated the 100,000 elite army of Tokugawa family in Japan, and the firearms of the 100,000 elite army were all obtained by the Tokugawa General family, and now they have lost both their wealth, so
Now the Tokugawa family forces are being counterattacked by various daimyos and vassals. Now Japan is in a row, so we need to sell them weapons."
Liu Shijie, deputy minister of the Military Department, said: "Fire weapons are related to our military's secrets. How can we sell them? What if these Japanese people attack our country with the fire weapons sold in a day? Who can bear the responsibility?"
Zhang Huahan thought about it and suddenly thought of countless old weapons in the military warehouse under the financial department. "I want to ask everyone that they are muskets. Are artillery unique to our country? Of course not. Russians in the north use muskets, and those in the Ming Dynasty
The firearms troops even hired Westerners to be instructors. The Westerners' co-cord guns were average, and the flintlock guns later were even more sophisticated than the most advanced firearms in the previous Ming Dynasty. That is the case, why keep them confidential?"
Zhou Manwen saw that Zhang Huahan did not continue to talk, and he said, "Chairman is confused. Don't mention the previous explanation, even Westerners have no firearms that can be compared with our country. If you have firearms because of money and Westerners, you will ignore yourself.
What is the reason for buying the most exquisite weapons of our country? Isn’t this a treason?" When Zhou Manwen was thorny as soon as he spoke, many ministers frowned, "Zhou Manwen, if you talk nonsense again,
Get out of here, this is the National Senior Meeting, how do you say?" Huang Ziya shouted sternly.
Although Zhou Manwen's words made Zhang Huahan unhappy, he thought about it and felt that Zhou Manwen was usually very sensible. Why is he so uncultured today? Did this guy do it on purpose? He sneered and said, "Mr. Zhou, who said he wanted to buy it."
The most excellent weapon? Our country promised them to buy muskets and cannons, but they didn't say what kind of muskets and cannons to buy. When have you seen the best tea from the Westerners in the Central Plains? At least the tea we had to drink at a meeting
Can't you get it abroad?" Of course, the best tea is tribute to the state managers as tribute. Secondary-level tea is not necessarily exported. Most of the tea exported is third-level tea. Zhang Huahan said that everyone can
It was a sudden realization.
Zhou Manwen said: "Chairman Zhang, what I want to say is that if the defective products are produced separately for several small countries, it will waste too much resources on the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Now the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is going to make every effort to build a railway from the Northeast to the South of the Yangtze River, and it will also be in
Xi'an, Kunming, Guangzhou and other places have begun to lay railways to prepare for railway lines covering most parts of the country. Moreover, the power generation factory project and power line construction you presided over has almost made the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the steel manufacturers under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce busy.
, it may not work to produce defective firearms now."
Since Zhang Huahan and the research department developed generators and electric lights while building trains, all officials have seen the benefits of electric lights. Naturally, they all want to use electric lights at home, but generators are easy to handle and trolls are also easy to handle.
However, the speed of production of wires in the Ministry of Industry is far from meeting the demand. Rubber, shellac or asbestos must be used for insulation on the wires. Rubber and shellac are widely used and are used only on various types of steam engines.
Rubber and shellac account for a large part of the production, as long as a small part of the rubber and shellac can be used to produce wires.
Although the country ordered the expansion of lactoworm farming and Zhang Huahan ordered that all Nanyang merchant ships and military ships must be returned once and a ton of rubber must be transported back, but the supply is still in short supply. The national department building complex was built on the side of Zhongnanhai, due to the imperial palace and
Tourism in Zhongnanhai is open, so the national office buildings were built between the palace and Zhongnanhai. Therefore, the national department building complex first installed electric lights and then set up wires in the palace and Zhongnanhai. However, the first installation of electric lights has passed.
For more than half a year, there are still one-third of the places in the capital that have not been connected to electricity, and there is no electricity in the mansions of several officials present.
Minister of Household Registration Tian Wenchuan said: "Yes, these countries are all ungrateful wolves who are not familiar with them. The firearms are just asking for trouble for them."
Zhang Huahan smiled and said, "My sirs, what I want to say is that selling firearms to them does not require the resources of the Ministry of Works, nor does it require the Ministry of Works to spend time on other work."
When everyone heard this, they were silent. Zhou Manwen knew that Zhang Huahan was extraordinary and knew that there were some very special people around him who were suspected to be immortals, but could the immortals get out of thin air? He remained silent and Huang Ziya spoke:
"Where did Chairman Zhang get the firearms and hand them over?"
Zhang Huahan still smiled and said, "I have my own method. All the firearms left by the former Ming Dynasty, including the weapons seized from the Qing army and the Zheng family army, are also mostly in the warehouses of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce," he said.
An official from the Ministry of Industry said: "Two Chairmans, dear sirs, these firearms are of poor quality and have little power. The Ministry of Industry intends to rebuild these firearms, but finds that the quality of the steel made is not as good as directly from the iron ore.
Refining, it stopped returning to the furnace, and now most of it is still sealed in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce." Shen Jinlong, Minister of Industry and Commerce, glared at the subordinates of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and said, "If all this large number of firearms can be sold
That's good. This batch of firearms is numerous, occupying a large number of warehouses of the Ministry of Works and selling them to Japanese people. At least, it helped the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Commerce to clean up the warehouses. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Commerce absolutely support the Chairman's resolution."
