Following his order, the banner of the Ming army changed.

The deep and powerful trumpets resounded!

In the next moment, after a long rest, the recovered horse started galloping again.

The huge cavalry troop rushed towards Ava like a fire dragon in the dark night with torches on.

The sound of war horses trampling the ground made countless people who heard it tremble with fear.

A Ming army elite cavalry, like a devil killed from hell, roared and howled, heading all the way to Ava City.

Facts have proved that Zhu Tingyun's surprise attack was successful!

He just led people to charge for a round, and Ava City was breached.

With a roar, countless cavalry poured into the city, leveling the streets and buildings.

Anyone who dared to resist was turned into flesh under the horse's hooves.

The Burmese soldiers were already weak, and their combat effectiveness was stretched, but now the city of Ava was blown down.

Its morale will only get lower and lower, and no one dares to resist the roaring cavalry of the Ming army.

It is no exaggeration to say that it will collapse at the touch of a finger!
In the blink of an eye, the city of Ava fell under the iron hooves of the Ming army.

However, Zhu Tingyun's surprise attack also failed.

Because he failed to catch Burmese King Mangbai, Mangbai escaped from the city through the tunnel in his palace.

The cavalry of the Ming army tried to pursue, but because the Ming army came from a long-distance attack, they were exhausted.

Therefore, he failed to catch up with Mangbai who was determined to escape.

But they are not all without gains, even if the wealth in Ava City is not mentioned.

Just the fact that they captured a group of Burmese clan ministers and others was also a great achievement.

Zhu Tingyun got off his horse and flipped through the roster in his hand.

Looking at the names of the big figures who used to be high in Myanmar, he didn't care at all.

No matter how noble and lofty these people were in the past, they are now just prisoners of war under his hands.

Whether to kill or not is just a matter of his thought!

At this moment, a deputy general came to reply.

"General, the situation in Ava City has been stabilized. The city walls, city gates, palace, treasury, minister's mansion... are all under my control, Daming."

Having said all this, the deputy general hesitated for a while, then spoke again.

"Brothers looking to have some fun in town..."

Hearing this, Zhu Tingyun raised his eyebrows and just spoke.

"Well, go ahead and try not to kill anyone!"

Now that Li Dingguo's department is going to reclaim places such as Mengla in Shan State, the biggest difficulty is not the shortage of money and food, but the shortage of labor.

The population in Ava City is now a valuable and walkable wealth.

Zhu Tingyun naturally understood what the deputy general meant by having fun.

It's nothing more than the soldiers wanting to indulge, looting money in the city, and that stuff in the crotch.

Men, understand everything!

Isn't that what these soldiers followed Zhu Tingyun to attack thousands of miles and captured Ava, the country of Burma?

Now the city of Ava is broken, and the army has entered the city.

If Zhu Tingyun doesn't let the soldiers be happy now, is there any reason?Is there still a law?
Is it true that the soldiers of this era have such a high level of thought?

Are they all willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country and the nation, regardless of rewards?

Isn't that bullshit?

Serving as a soldier is paid, this is already very clear, serving as a soldier is for paying.

It's not for defending the country!
Zhu Hongyu was able to strictly control the military discipline of the Ming army because he gave enough, the military pay and rewards to ensure that even if the soldiers did not plunder, they could also guarantee the food and clothing needs of the family, and even the livelihood of the family. Pretty decent.

Coupled with proper ideological education!

Only in this way can Zhu Hongyu strictly rectify military discipline, and no one in the army dares to refuse.

To put it bluntly, material security is the most critical.

Without sufficient material guarantees, it is necessary to rectify military discipline, which will definitely lead to mutiny!

Li Dingguo's side is not as rich as Zhu Hongyu's, and it is relatively difficult to guarantee the food and salaries needed by the army.

If he wants to further win over the army and ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, the only way is to allow the army to plunder during wartime.

Just like what I did in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court can't give you enough military rewards, but you can let you grab it yourself.

This thing sounds ugly, but it is really easy to use.

When fighting in the territory of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Tingyun and others may still have some considerations, and dare not do things too much and kill too many people.

However, it is now in Myanmar!

In Burma, where Ming had an unending feud, Zhu Tingyun naturally didn't bother to restrain military discipline.

Instructing not to kill people as much as possible is just treating the Burmese in Ava city as slaves and wealth, not pity.

After Zhu Tingyun nodded, the Ming army in Ava city let go of their joy.

Countless soldiers rushed into the living area, and the next moment, screams and wailing resounded throughout Ava.

A big fire was ignited in the city, and the fire was burning fiercely, and the billowing black smoke continued to spread.

But Zhu Tingyun couldn't rest. He was preparing to write the battle report and relay the battle situation to Li Dingguo.

On the one hand, it is the important figures among the prisoners of war who are going to be screened this time.

Those with high status and those with low status are naturally not the same price.

Males and females are also worth differently.

More importantly, Zhu Tingyun wanted to single out those people and their families who had participated in the disaster of the cursed water, and then make another plan.

These people will all be implicated and punished, and even their family members will also be implicated.

As we all know, Daming has always held grudges, and will avenge all grudges.

After the change of Tumu Fort that year, Daming beat the Oirat tribe for almost several decades, until the Tatar tribe rose and the Oirat tribe fled westward.

Daming just ended the decades-long "preference" for the Wala tribe.

What Myanmar is doing now is even more extreme than what Wala did during the Tumu Fort change.

Daming can bear grudges for hundreds of years in a cursed calamity!
……

Li Dingguo, who was leading a large army to march deep into Burma, received a good news from Zhu Tingyun.

Li Dingguo laughed cheerfully after seeing the news that Zhu Tingyun's troops took down Ava City in a surprise attack and captured countless gains.

My heart is full of comfort!

In addition, he also received news that the Ming Guangxi strategy had won a complete victory, Bumbutai was assassinated and killed, Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and the Jiangxi War had a good start...etc.

A series of good news made Li Dingguo's smile never disappear for a while.

It is a good thing that his battle in Myanmar is going so smoothly now.

In particular, the fact that Zhu Tingyun had captured the relevant participants of the cursed water disaster made Li Dingguo even more happy.

He can finally avenge Yongli!
Back then, Yongli treated Li Dingguo with great kindness and trust.

In the Yongli Dynasty, he, Li Dingguo, was a character who was under one person and above ten thousand people!
But the result?

After the cursed water disaster, he was separated from Emperor Yongli, causing Emperor Yongli to suffer great humiliation from the cursed water disaster, and was handed over to Wu Sangui by Burmese King Mangbai...

Li Dingguo felt from the bottom of his heart that he had owed the grace of God, and he was sorry for the trust of Emperor Yongli.

Over the years, that deep sense of guilt has been tormenting Li Dingguo constantly!
Now that Li Dingguo is finally able to avenge Yongli, he is naturally filled with emotion.

But after thinking about it, he felt that maybe he shouldn't make his own claims, and he had to send a fast horse to Guangzhou to ask the opinion of the person in Guangzhou.
