Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Taungoo.

Although the city has been taken over by the Ming army, the order in the city is better than before.Whether it was the sons of nobles who liked to bully men and women, or the local hooligans who bullied civilians, they all disappeared.

However, under the order of the Ming army, the shops were open for business normally, and hoarding was not allowed, and prices were not allowed to increase indiscriminately.

Therefore, except for those nobles who worried about their wealth dissipating under the Ming Dynasty, ordinary commoners felt that their lives were better than before.

The Ming army was not as terrifying as rumored, on the contrary it was the best army they had ever seen.

This goodness does not mean that the Ming army is strong in combat, but that the Ming army never bullies civilians, is kind, and even pays normally for shopping.Even the arrival of the Ming army made it easier for some small traders to do business.

As the prince of Toungoo, Mangbai was not aware of these changes after the Ming army took over the city.

Because after he hijacked his father Wang Mangda to open the door to offer the city, he and Mangda were imprisoned in their respective palaces by the Ming army, and they were not allowed to go out or communicate with outsiders.

In the words of the generals of the Ming army, his dedicating the city was too important to obey the decision of the Ming court, so they could only be placed under house arrest until the court's decree arrived.

Mangbai is not worried.

Because he felt that he had meritorious deeds for dedicating the city, the Emperor of Ming would never treat meritorious people lightly, right?

He knew that Mang Da had sent envoys to ask for submission to the Ming army, but there were certain conditions after all.Didn't he save Daming a lot of trouble by donating the city directly?
The capital of Daming is thousands of miles away from Dongyu, Mangbai should be ready to be imprisoned in the palace for a year and a half, but he didn't want to, General Zhengnan of Ming Dynasty, Anning Boy Yang Zhan called him away in a few days barracks.

Because after Yang Zhan took over Dongyu City, he did not live in the palace, but led Tibiao to live in the barracks of the Dongyu Kingdom Guards in the inner courtyard of the city.

When he came to the place, Mangbai found that his father, King Mangda, was also there, so Mangbai had a bad premonition, and thought to himself: Could it be that the Ming court magnanimously rewarded his father with him?
Mang Da was very excited and angry when he saw Mang Bai.

"You beast, I'll kill you!"

Mang Da said that he wanted to kill Mang Bai, but he didn't move.It wasn't that he was soft-hearted and didn't want to fight, but that there were Ming troops in the hall, so he didn't dare to strike.

In addition, he didn't have the confidence to beat Mang Bai, who was in his twenties and was young and strong.

Then, Mang Da scolded Mang Bai again in Burmese.

Before he finished cursing, Yang Zhan came over with the governor Chen Qianfu, and Mang Da immediately shut up wisely.

Now there are many things waiting for the two to deal with in Dongyu City, so the two did not beat around the bush with the Mang family and his son.

Chen Qianfu directly took out the telegram, and read out: "Today King Mangda of Dongyu obeyed the destiny and led the whole kingdom of Dongyu to submit to my Ming Dynasty.

After Mangda returned to obedience, his son Mangbai acted in disobedience, which was contrary to filial piety.Therefore, he was punished to be exiled to Dongyan Guard in Yingzhou, and he will never be recalled! "

While Chen Qianfu was reading, there was an interpreter beside him translating in Burmese.

After hearing this, Mang Da knelt down towards the north excitedly, and shouted with a flushed face, "His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

Mangbai's face was pale, as if his bones had been pulled out, he fell limp, and muttered in his mouth: "How is it possible? How could this be the result?"

Mangda came to his senses, and he didn't have any sympathy for his distraught son—the royal family had little family affection, not to mention that this son even held him hostage in exchange for wealth.

He looked at Mangbai and said, "You bastard, you are really stupid and bad. If you want to be rich, when I get a reward from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and die later, isn't it all yours? You actually want to go directly past you and me, now You deserve to end up in exile overseas!"

Yang Zhan and Chen Qianfu were equally disgusted with Mangbai, without any sympathy.After the imperial decree was read out, someone pulled it down.

Now that the imperial court has dealt with Mangbai, there is no need to send him to Daming, and let the Western Navy's ship pass him to the Nanyang Navy directly from the southern coastal port of Dongyu, and the Nanyang Navy will hand him over to him by the way. Just send it to Dongyanwei (southern Yanzhou).

···
Zhaowu ten years, spring.

The Ming Dynasty, with an army of 10,000+, attacked from the north and the south, which shocked all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

Therefore, in December of the ninth year of Zhaowu, envoys were sent to Daming to meet the empress Zhaowu.

Such as Nanzhang, Vietnamese Zhengshi, Vietnamese Ruanshi, Siam, Rakhine (Arakan) and other countries.Those who were not a vassal state in the past request to become a vassal state; those who are already a vassal state hope to restore the "custom" of paying tribute once a year, and to renew the last golden seal of the vassal state.

But even for the Vietnamese envoy closest to Daming, it would take several months to go to Nanjing by sea.

And after the Spring Festival in the tenth year of Zhaowu, the Ming court announced to the world that the former Toungoo country was the province of Myanmar.

The name of this province is a matter of course for Daming, and it is not as discordant as people in later generations may see.

Because the translated name of "Myanmar" in later generations is actually based on the "Myanmar Central Province", "Myanmar China Xuanweisi" in the Yuan Dynasty, and the "Myanmar Xuanweisi" in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Daming has set up Burma Province, it can be regarded as restoring the former name of Daming's lost land.

Of course, in fact, when the Ming Dynasty was at its most powerful, it was only the establishment of propaganda and consolation departments in northern Myanmar, and the rule did not touch southern Myanmar—the Bago Kingdom at that time was only a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

But later, Bagu State was destroyed by Toungoo State, and Daming helped the vassal state recover the lost land by the way, and it was only natural to bring it into the broad and warm embrace of Daming.

As for whether it would be too big to set the entire Taungoo as one province?

will not.

Because the land area of ​​Taungoo is actually much smaller than that of later Burma, plus the Rakan State to the west of Toungoo, and the area now occupied by Siam on the Malay Peninsula, is the territory of Burma in later generations.

Therefore, Daming Burma Province is about the same size as Yunnan, or even smaller.

The provincial government of Myanmar is set at Awa, because Awa's waterway transportation is actually better than that of Toungoo.

Of course, the name of the city must have been changed, and it was changed to Wacheng, which conforms to the naming habits of Ming Dynasty.

As for the first governor of Burma in the Ming Dynasty, he was appointed by Zhu Yuxi among several people selected by the cabinet, and finally selected the current Yunnan Zuobu political envoy (equivalent to the deputy governor) who had been an official in Yunnan for many years, had good political achievements and had military experience. ) Yang Weizhi.

On this day, Hao Guangming discovered that Auntie Zhu was still looking at the big map of the southwest in the hall on the second floor after she came back. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, do you want to swallow all the countries in the southwest?"

Auntie Zhu turned her head back, with a look of resentment on her face, "Is Mr. Xiang a roundworm in my stomach? He guessed my thoughts clearly."

Hao Guangming laughed and said, "What are you thinking when you look at the map of the Southwest? Isn't that Sima Zhao's heart known to everyone in the world?"

I saw that under Yunnan and Guangxi in the southwest, there are now four countries in the east: Vietnam, Nanzhang, Siam, and Chenla. In the south of the west of Myanmar Province, there is a small country called Rakhine. The states are separated by the Naga Mountains.

Therefore, Hao Guangming knew at a glance that Zhu Wei wanted to swallow Vietnam, Nanzhang, Siam, and Chenla.

"Xianggong thinks that Daming should let these four countries submit?"

Hearing Auntie Zhu’s question, Hao Guangming came over, looked at the map and said, “Among these four countries, Chenla is nothing. Today’s Chenla recognizes Siam as its suzerain, but it is also married to the Ruan family. The arena where everyone competes has lost its autonomy.

As for Vietnam, it used to be the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to collect it, which was justified.

On the other hand, Nanzhang and Siam, which used to be vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, are now becoming stronger and stronger, so it is not easy to handle. "

Second more.

Good night~
