Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 834 Drilling into the Jungle to Fight Guerrilla?Or be a nobleman of Ming Dynasty?

In the ninth year of Zhaowu, on October [-]th, the Ming army captured Ava City without bloodshed.

On October 10,000, [-]+ Ming troops came to the city of Bagan, an important town in central Myanmar.Lord of Bagan, surrendered without a fight.

At this time, the news of the 10,000+ Ming army going south finally reached the capital Dongyu, and the royal court was shocked.

Dongyu City, in the royal palace.

Sitting on the pure gold throne, Mang Da was anxious and angry.

"Mang Zhe, this bastard, he actually threw Ava directly to the Ming army? It's really in vain for me to trust him so much!"

Mang Da is a fat man with fair skin and exquisite facial features. He probably looks good in the first place, but unfortunately he is too fat.

In late autumn, Myanmar is still relatively hot. At this time, Mang Da was sweating non-stop, even if there were two maids next to him with big cattail fans to fan him non-stop. He himself was constantly wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. .

Below, Mangbai, the second prince who has the right to inherit the throne and is also the son of Mangda, took the opportunity to say: "Father, I heard that Mangzhe fled to Shan State, my son please take [-] soldiers and horses to attack him! He must be tied back and handed over to him." Punish the father!"

Although Mangda is mediocre, he is not stupid. Hearing this, he couldn't help cursing: "Stupid! What time is it, and you still want to lead the army to beat your elder brother? I don't know that there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is called 'Brothers are separated from the wall. Foreign imperial bullying'?

Now, we should unite with your elder brother to resist the Ming army together! "

After finishing speaking, he asked a confidant to go to Shan State to contact Mang Zhe, expressing his forgiveness for his mistakes, as long as he was willing to lead the troops back to resist the Ming army.

Mangda didn't notice, Mangbai's expression below was full of sullenness.

In fact, Mangbai's request for 3 military power from Mangda was purposeful—he also saw that the Ming army was coming fiercely this time, and he had no confidence in whether Toungoo would be able to stop the Ming army. To obtain military power, at least protect yourself.

At worst, at the critical moment, he could surrender [-] soldiers and horses to the Ming army in exchange for wealth.

In addition, although he is a legitimate son, he has the right to inherit the throne.But in his opinion, Mang Da always prefers his elder brother Mang Zhe - Mang Zhe's mother was just a lowly court lady, but Mang Da appointed Mang Zhe as the governor of northern Burma, sitting in Ava, with [-] soldiers.

If he succeeds in the future, Mang Zhe objects, how can his throne be secure.

Therefore, in Mangbai's eyes, his father Mangda is not only partial to the bastard, but also stupid.

How could such a stupid father lead the remaining army of the kingdom to stop the Ming army?

Mang Da didn't notice his son's expression. After he sent someone to contact Mang Zhe, he discussed with several important court officials how to resist the Ming army.

Dongyu Zuo Prime Minister Man Gutu said: "Since Awa was captured by the Ming army, I am afraid that Bagan will not be able to protect it. In this way, we can only stop the Ming army at the line of Magui and Binwen, otherwise the capital will have to face the Ming army directly." Army front."

The prime minister of the right, Sha Zhe, said: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has 10,000+ elites, and they are coming fiercely. We still need to make more preparations.

Perhaps it is time to send generals to Magui and Binwen to set up defense lines to resist the Ming army, and at the same time move the capital to Bagu.

In addition, we need to send people to Shanlian to contact the British and Dutch, and pay them to help us resist the Ming army. "

Than Lien is on the other side of the river from Yangon in the later generations, and it can be regarded as a port city open to the outside world in the Taungoo Kingdom.

It was "leased" by the Portuguese earlier. Later, when the Portuguese saw the civil strife in Toungoo during the Mangyingli period, they not only directly occupied Shalian, but also contacted the Arakan Kingdom in the west to invade in an attempt to carve up Toungoo. Ying Long's young son)'s conspiracy failed.

After King Liangyuan, Anabilon succeeded to the throne, unified Burma again, expelled the Portuguese, and recovered Shalian.

However, the exchanges between Taungoo and Western countries were not interrupted. During the period of Anabilom and Thalom, the British and Dutch East India Companies successively set up branches in Taungoo Thamliam.

During the period of King Thalom, the relationship between the British, the Dutch and Toungoo was pretty good.

This is why Prime Minister Cha Zhe said that he hired the troops of the two countries to resist the Ming army.

Mang Da also thought it was a good idea, nodded hurriedly and said: "You Cheng is right, we need to hire the British and Dutch to help us resist the Ming army.

The battle report from the front line shows that the army has many guns and extremely fierce firepower. It happens that the British and the Dutch also use more firearms, which will definitely help us block the Ming army. "

Mang Da had just finished speaking when there was a rush of shouts from outside.

"Report-"

"Bagu emergency battle report, Ming army navy landed from Motama Bay, Bagu is urgent!"

Before the words were finished, the guard of Miyagi reported into the hall with a serious face and a letter of plea for help.

"what?!"

Mang Da and all the important officials of King Dongyu's court in the palace couldn't help being shocked when they heard this.

Previously, although they had also heard that the Ming Dynasty Navy was criss-crossing Southeast Asia, it first defeated the Dutch, and then captured the Greater Luzon Islands occupied by the Spaniards.

But after all, it is in the Southeast Asia, while the Motama Bay on the southern coast of the Toungoo Kingdom belongs to the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, Dongyu and his ministers were very surprised that the Ming army's navy landed from the southern coast.

Immediately, Mangda's face turned pale, and he slumped on the golden throne as if he had lost his backbone, and murmured: "It's over, it's over now.

Based on this, Bagu is hundreds of miles away, and it will take several days for the news to spread quickly. At this time, the Ming army may have already occupied Bagu City.

And the Ming army attacked from north to south, this... this is to destroy me Toungoo! "

Man Gutu and Sha Zhe also looked pale, looked at each other, and found that each other was full of helplessness.

Daming was really too strong, and this attack from north to south was too ruthless, and Dongyu was completely helpless to fight back.

At this moment, the two began to worry, if Da Ming destroyed Dong Yu, whether their lives would be in danger as the left and right prime ministers of Dong Yu, and whether they could keep their family's wealth.

Immediately, Mangutu's heart moved, and he suggested: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, maybe you can send an envoy to ask the Ming army for peace."

Logically speaking, they should send envoys to seek peace from the Ming court, but Nanjing is thousands of miles away from Toungoo, and it is too late, so they can only seek peace with the Ming army who entered Toungoo.

After being reminded by this, Mang Da seemed to have grasped at straws, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, we can send envoys to seek peace with the Ming army. Just say, I, Dongyu, would like to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute."

Mangutu smiled wryly after hearing this, and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is attacking from north to south, with the attitude of wanting to take all of my land in Toungoo. I'm afraid it will not be enough for Daming to just pay tribute."

"Then what should we do?"

Mangutu was silent.

Because there are some things that he, a courtier, can't say, let alone decide for Mang Da.

But Sha Zhe didn't pay much attention to it, and then he said: "If your majesty wants to fight against the Ming army, you can gather the strength of the whole country now to fight against the Ming army to the end. At worst, you will lead your subjects back into the jungle and wait until next year when the popularity is hot before counterattacking." .

If His Majesty has no intention of resisting and is worried about the death of the country, he can send envoys in advance to express his submission to the Ming Kingdom, and perhaps become an idle nobleman of the Ming Kingdom. "

"This..." Mang Da cried with a sad face, "How do I know how to make a decision?"

He must be afraid of death, and he won't be able to suffer through the jungle.

But let him just dedicate the country handed down by his ancestors to Daming, he is unwilling.So, even though the military situation on the north and south fronts was extremely urgent, things froze here for a while.

At this time, what Mang Da didn't notice was that a strange look flashed in his son Mangbai's eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Ming Dynasty Nanjing, Forbidden City Jinshen Palace.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuxi did not pay attention to the war in Burma.

But at this moment, she was very anxious, because she was going to try to go back to the old house in the bamboo forest.
